a Good Joke.

Many years ago, when church orrans fret
came IN use, worthy old clergyman was mas.
tor Off church where they had lust purchased
an organ. Not far from the church vas -
large town pasture, where great MANY cattle
grazed, and among them a LARGE bnIl o.
hot Sabbath, Mr.. Bull came nm neor tbo
church grazing, and just as the Rev NJ
j. was IN the midst of his Sermon bo.
woo-woo" went the bull.
Inc Parson paused, looked up at the sing,
ing seats, and with grave face, said:
- would thank the musicians not to tune
me very much"
The people stared, and the ministerwen on.
"boO,woo-woo," went the bull again, as he
drew little nearer the church.
Ihe Parson paused again and addressed the
choir:
Il really wish the singers would not tune
their instruments while am preaching"
Ihe congregation Uttered, for thev kuew
what the real cause Of this disturbance was.
lhe Old pafson went on again, and he had
just about started good, when "Boo-woo-woo"
came from Mr.. Bull.
The minister paused once more and ex,
claimed:
81 have requested the musicians in the gal
lery not to tune their instruments durino the
sermon. l now particularly request Mr.. r
that he will not tune his double base ORGAN
while l am preaching"
This was too much. T. got up. too
much agitated at the idea Of speaking cut in
church, and stammered out:
"lt is-isn't me, Parsou-, tit is that
old town bull"

1t is estimated that the rose distriots of
AdrianoPle produced in the season of 1866
about 100000 miscals of otter OF roses, (the
miscal being L! drachm,) the price averaging
rather more than three shill;ngs sterling Der
miscal. If the weather is cold in spring, and
there are copiods falls of dew and occasional
showers. the crops prosper, and an abundant
yield Of oil secured. The season in 1866 was
so tavorble that eight okes ofpetals (less than
70 pounds, and in some cases seven okes
yielded a mscal of oil. If the weather is
very hot and dry, it takes double that ouap>
uty of petals. The culture Of the rose does
not entail much trouble or expense. Land

process of distllation. The otter is bought
up for foreign markets, to which it passes
through ConstantinoPle aud Smyrna, where
1t is generally despatched to undergo the pro-
cess Of aduiteration with sandal-wood and
other oils. 1t Is said that in London the
AdrianOpie otter finds reader sale when it
is adulterated than when it is genuine.
