THE CIDER MAKERs.-The silver haired

TIE CIDER MAKERs.-The silver haired
boys" (Gee. s-r Esq and DR.. Ok,
whom We noticed nOtIOng since as having en-
barksd in the cider business, are getting
along sRimmingIy. Their hand cider mil
and press work we'll. Little disputes have
Occasionally arisen with regard to who shall
turn the crank, the younger boy complaining
that the Doctor turned It the most. (Both
Of them feel little crank about their mill
and can't help showing it,
They are both great admirers Of industry,
and can't endure people around them who
won't work. One day the elder silver grey
discovered the younger silver grey angrily
knocking head out Of cider barrel and
splitting the contents on the ground.
" What are You doing that for, George ?"
said elder silver grey, expOstulatingly.
Confound the stuff" was the angry reply,
% Il 'oOa't york F'
What to do with the cbankings," is a
question which puzzles those silver crowned
heads greatly at present After squeezing
outall the cider they can get, they sit down
and consult. Failing to decide on anything,
they give the ehankiDgs " another squeeze.
They then search through several WUTKs on
POmOlOgy and eiderOlogy, 70 discover what
Is the most economical use they can put the
"ohankings" to. No results attained, and
the ehankings" receive another tremendous
squeeze, which puts the boys out Of breath
They keep up the round of consultation, and
squeezing until there is little breath left in
their bodies, and not drop Of cider in the
" "ehankings."
Among the suggestions offered at the oon-
sultatiOns alluded to, with regard to the dis
pOsaI Of the " ehankings," are the follow
ing:
Use them to stuff oushions-bank up houses
-stuf into sausages-ballanes railroad track
make into gum-stuff mattrasses-wad a
gun--all teeth-can mp as preserved fruit
refine coal Oil-heat bOilerl-stone up wells
stuff car seats-make apple 4 sass save
fuel-make waterproof roof-load canal
bOat--make lager beer-servs up at "a Mixes
for lunch-peddle on the oars-give 'em to
the Aid sOeiety-stuf scare erow-polish

lings-pOllsh stoves, &C., SO.
The boys had lot Of " chankings" on
hand the other day which they had squeezed
until not another drop could possibly be eK-
tracted from them. They had consulted for
hours without deciding what to do with
them. One morning, the elder sill
yer grey, who had lain awake all
night thinking about it, met the younger
silver grey. The elder was FsdIent with joy
and satisfaction, and as he shook hands with
the younger violently, he shouted" EuIskal
GeOrge-I have found It'll have thought
what to DO with them chankings."
"What?" said the younger, instantly, in
fected with the others excitement
Replied the elder, ",rs'H squeeze some cider
oai Of 'eai" The idea was brilliant one
(wOnder they hadn't thought of it bsfOrs)
and peaIing OF their coats, they squeeEed
those " ehankings " until they 4" shed.''
