When Ladies Should be Looked At.-A
writer in the Atlantic Monthly, thus en-
lightens the bellies of the street concerning
the inalienable rights of men to look at
their pretty faces:
"There are some very pretty, but unhap-
PLY very ill bred women, who don't UNDER
stand the laws of the road with regard to
handsome faces. Nature and custom would
no doubt agree in conceding to males the
right of at least two distinct looks at ev-
cry comedy female countenance, with
out any infraction of the rules of courtesy,
or the sentiment of respect. The first look
is necessary to define the person of the indi-
vidual one meets, so as to avoid her in pas
sing. Any usual attraction discovered in
first glance is sufficient apology for second
not prolonged and impertinent stare,
but an approaching homage of the eyes,
svch as a stranger may inoffensively yield
to passing image. 1t is astonishing how
morbidly sensitive some vulgar beauties are
to the slightest demonstration of this kind.
When lady walks the streets she leaves
her virtuous indignation countenance at
home; she knows well enough that the street
is picture gallery, where pretty faces
framed in pretty bonnets are meant to be
seen, and every body has a right to see
them.

Neso Kinds Of Wheat.-A writer in the
Independence Beige thus satirizes the way
in which the productiveness of new kinds OF
grain is estimated:
When a man buys new kind of wheat at
its weight in gold, it is quite natural that he
should take the greatest care in the prepa-
ration of the soil in which he plants it. He
selects the best spot OF ground he has, with
the best exposure, and watches it continual
ly after st has come up.
Let weed start near the dear grain, it is
Immediately pulled up, which gives very
beneficial cultivation to the plant.
And when the grain is ripe the heads ar
cut off with scissors while they are moist, so
that not kernel shall be lost; they are
placed in handkerchief, and the threshing
is done on parlor table, by rubbing them
in the hands.
So, then, the crop being weighed and
measured, calculation is made that if a
surface as large as a pocket handkerchief
gives such a yield, a large field-say an acre
would give SO much. Then the calculator
goes ON to estimate the increase over the
present production of wheat in France, were
this kind of wheat sewn instead.

Turning Somerset By Railroad.-A few
days ago, says the Louisville Courier, an
italian fiddler, at Upton, on the line of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, attempted
to cross the track as the train was passing.
The cow.catcher struck him, and, after turn
ing heels over head several times, he alight-
ed in the mud, head down. His fiddle, which
he had in his hand, was smashed, and when
he was picked up, his first inquiry was for
that instrument. He said he wasn't much
hurt, but it was believed he was injured in
