Quick heePlics

Napoleon was fond of quick replies; he
could hear contradiction, but invariably
turned away from those who addressed him
with hesitation or embarrassment. The fol
lowing anecdote will sufficiently prove that
ready and well timed answer was an in
fallibe passport TO his favor:-"At a grand
review which on particular occasion, took
place on the square of the Carousal, the En-
perors horse suddenly reared, and curing
his exertions to keep the animal steady, the
rider parted company with his hat. lien

his own mistake, replied with smile, The
question is appropos; the guards" in u

THE VINEGAR HsH.ANH'.

From friend in the Scioto valley, says
the Country Gcntle,uan, we received vine
gar plant year since. 1t is not, but is
hardly distinguishable from the mother
often found in vinegar. We put it by di-
rection into gallon of soft water sweeten-
ed with one quart of molasses. We keep it
usually in our flower pit, and it now pro-
duccs us q gallon of vinegar per month
beautifully clear and well favored. 1t in
creases in layers, and ours would doubtless
produce more vinegar il we had not
distributed to our friends the new layers as
fast as produced We think it works better
in glass vessel in the light, but know 1t
will produce a barrel
Chemical vinegar is as delatarious to
health as the fatally drugged liquors that
destroy like plague in our land. We once
in our housekeeping experience bought q
jar of pickles. The last of them were left
in the bottle without being covered with
vinegar, and were in few days wholly ID
crusted with copperas. DIR, Gone, inspector
of liquors in Cincinnati, represents himself
as going always armed with litnus paper,
wherewith to test liquor; it containing I'M
pure substance the paper will turn RED nc
saws. We give this as useful 10 housekeeP'
ers, who would surely repuciete anything
containing tho deadly drugs he asserts he
constantly finds in the most costly wines
and liquors He likewise mentions tue use
of copper US a test. This will readily show
the presence Of the poisonous acids with
which liquor is adulterated.

nkrnfIl OcNS;i,ii Slick,

The death is announced in the latest for
eign news of a man who. though of varied
attainmCnts and Of local celebrity in other
branches, is best known to the American
public rs II humorist. There are many pco.
pie who believe SAN Slick to have been
genuine parsonage, and who are quite ig.
norant of the existence of Judge Huilbur-
ton.
The author of "Sam Slck'-T Thomas
Chandler Halliburton born in Nova
Scotia IN 1903. where he studied law. In
1928 he published his first work, three

works arc Bubbles OF Canada" OS39),

of the English il: America" QS54), yankee
Stories" 1922, Traits of American lIumorr

1850.
The celebrated "Sam Slick" series were
begun in 1885 in Nova Scotia paper. Two
years later these articles were collected in II
volume, entitled The Clockmaker. or the
Sayings and doings of Sam Slick OF Slick

and in 1910 third. In 1912 Halliburton
was attached to tho American Legation III
England, and wrote "The Attachc, or sam
Slick in England" following it with sec.
ond series in 1914.
In all these humorous volumes the central
figure is that of an exaggerated Yankee cf
the stage conventional style--a beng which
may have once existed, but it is now as ex-
tnct as the dodo. The character was, how
| ever, cevcrly carried out, and the humor or
the author proved highly acceptable 20 the
public, ensuring for the "Slick" series an
enormous sale.

GARDEN NOTES.

AsPAHAGus.-Tow the close of the
month, when the tops of asparagus have
turned yellow, cut them off close, and carry
off the ground. Give good top dressing
of well rotted manure, which should lie on
the surface during winter to be carefully
worked in in spring. Give also sprink-
ling of salt.
CELERy.-Let celery be earthed up regu-
larly as it grows, being careful TO DO 1t in
dry weather, and avoid covering the bud.
GROWING CRoPs,-All growing crops
should be well weeded and earthed little
in hoeing.
SEED OSIoNs.-Pick out the best onions
for seed next year, and plant the last of the
month in light, rich soil.

s;r..in of,.,r EsotgsclsliSis.

Two pictures, by the well known German
pa ntcr, Herr Oppenhcim, are making sort
OF Il sensation at Frankfort They belong
to the Rothclild's and have for subject the
historical orogin of the Ro,hchild's great
wealth. One of them brings before the eye
of the spectator that modest house in the
Frankfort JudenSassc, which has become ia
nous as the cradle of the Rathchild's. One
o. the pictures shows us the ancient, nearly
furnished hall of Maicr Rothchild the grand
father of the present Baron Rothchi.d. The
portly Frankfort merchant goes to meet re-
spcctfully the elcctor of Hcsse, no is fol-
lowed by several servants carrying boxes
and Golfers with gold and other valuables.
In the background stands the plain house
wife, to whom a little daughter cings tim
idly. The elector with full confidence,
gives to the jew his treasures in keeping,
for he has been driven away by the enemy,
and has perhaps forever, to leave behind
his throne and his country. The look of
the jew inspires with the conviction that
the electors unconditional trust will not be
deceived that let the events be what they
may, the Jews honesty Will stand as firm
as his faith in the Old Testament. The
second picture leads us into the socially
more refined conditions of later period.
The French tyranny has been shaken of,
the elector has been reinstated In his coun-
try, amidst the cheers of his people, who at
that time still looked up to him hopefully
and coniidingly. lie comes to Frankfort in
ordef 20 take back his property, The faith
ful keeper Is dead. HIS five sons, whose
exterior is in accordance with the claims OF
modern times, prove themselves by express
sion and action the heirs of their old up
right father. With neither too much pride
nor too much humility, they stand before
the grateful elector, returning his property,
which, during all this time has plentifully
increased, 1t is known that from this event
dates that rise of the Rothchild family; SC
far the pictures claim an historical inter
est.

tie cat it with the greatest ayidity, and it ia
well known to all horsemen thai the blades

mails, strengthing their wind and bottom
beyond everything else Cut the stalks up
in inch or two inch pieces, steam it, and
sprinkle little bran and salt over it, and
there is nothing that will bs consumed more
voraciously by COWS and working oxen
1t is, besides a wholesome food, and helps
advantageously in making the winters sup

addition of rasped roots, which / think
every good farmer ought to cultivate and

n Sad story.

A correspondent informs MS of the appear
ancc of man who has just been released
from the State Prison, after serving term
of twenty years. During this time the
march of improvement has been SO rapid,
that almost every yestige of Rll that was
familiar to him then has been swept away.
Cities and towns grown up; railroads and
telegraphs have been established; in short
almost everything which to us appears old
and void of .nayelty, must appear strange
and wonderful to him. lie entered his cell
Of eight by ten a young man, and comes

How TO PRESERVE ORCHARDS FROM DE-
CAY AND DEATE.-cNATHAN SuoTwELL,
Elba, Genesee Co.. h. Y, thinks the cause
OF the present appearance of decay and
death III so many orchards is owing entirely
to neglect and bad management. He thinks
a majority Of orchards in that county have
that neglected appearance; some are not
pruned at all, others are carclcssly haggied
and large limbs left with protrpdng stumps
that cannot heal ever. Orchards are piowed
and the roots torn, and many farmers who
have access to leaves, muck, saw dust, &C.,
never mulch their trees, nor remove the
rough bark, which furnishes harbor for
insects 1t should bc scraped off with q
hoe and the tree washed with strong lye
An orchard, planted by my tather, still in
vigorous growth and bearing, has not been
plowed for thirty years. 1t has generally
been pastured with SWINE till apples began
to ripen, Manure frequently pat to the
roots of the trees destroying the toughness
Of the sod and making the soil loose and
spongy, and the coin (the last years GROWTH
that was large enough for grating, have
nearly all been removed yearly for mere
than forty years. l believe removing the
young coins had helped materially to make
the orchard to bear protusly. In grating
an orchard bearing kinds should be select
ed. Many kinds of delicious apples are

ASHES ron SNAIL FRUITs.-Mr. Reed in
quircs whether unleachcd ashes would be
good for currents, gooseberries and other
small fruits. In answer to this, several
members Of the Club reply that unleached
ashes are beneficial upon every plant culti-
waited upon the farm or the garden. They
may be applied at any season and"in any
moderate quality; and upon corn at the rate
of half pint to the hill, they are worth as
much per bushel as the corn is when grown,
Tor half pint will increase the yield more
than that measure, besides large addition
to the fodder.
