VI the following incident is said to
have recently caused some amusement
in the London fashionable circles:
Alady Of distinction, the Marchion-
ess OF .Finsbury, lately spent more
Regent street. buying all the pieces
OF music with alsentimental title that
she could find. When, she had
finished her purchases, and was
already on the threshold of the door,
she paused O. moment with q hest
tating air. The clerk, who had
assiduously waited on 80 good o
customer, stepped forward and asked
her it she wished for anything else.
The, marchicness made an effort to
collect her thoughts, and turned
back, fixing her eyes on the face of
the eSlerk. VINO blushed to the ears.
IT had quite forgotten one thing" +"
said she, in a voice that seemed
tremulous. ST don't know what is
the matter with me to-day. I came
back to ask you if"
She made short pause, as if to
summon up her courage. Meanwhile
the clerk, pulling up his false collar,
leaned gracefully on the counter and
bent forward. a4ts,a
SCI came back" continued the
riiarchioness, "to ask if you would
before parsisg Pr,
my ladyP' exclaimed the astonish-
ed clerk. - Vi
IT desire that you should give me
a kiss before pwting," repeated the
marchioness, with a deliberate air,
fixing her eyes on the clerk, who
seemed turned into stone. Without
betra3ing the least emotion, She
repeated the request for the third
time, saying, eff you cannot give it to
me to-day, 1 will call some other
time"
The clerk, intoxicated with joy at
the hasty thought that the beautiful
marchioness had taken a sudden
fancy for him. did not wait for any
further entreaties, but, springing
over the counter, threw his arms
around the waist of his fair customer,
and impressed the asked-for kiss upon
herlcheek. To his surprise, his sole
response was a blow in the face from
the parasol Of the marchioness. who
began to shriek wildly, and did not
cease until three policemen rushed
into the chop, and took the wonder
ing clerk into custody. The affair
was explained the next day in court,
whore the magistrate at once set
the unfortunate culprit at liberty, on
learning that "a Kiss Before Part
ingnwas the name of fashionable
song, the existence of which till
then was wholly unknown to him.

and let it remain about eight hours j;
then remove it, and you will see the

you can remove by pricking with the

A SHORT RULE TO MEASURE GRAIN


An exchange says: "It is eonven-
lent to farmers and purchasers to have
an easy and correct rule by which to
measure corn in cribs. Here is one ::
Having 1eveled the corn in the crib,
measure the length, breadth and depth,
and multiply them together, and de-
duct from the product one-fifth, and
: you have the number of bushels in the
ear; for shelled corn take one-half.-
To be strictly correct, add half bush
ell for every one hundred. Persons
: who are fond of cgpheing can test the
correctness of this rule by taking
+ I,878 solid inches for foot, and 2,15(
inches in a bushel, and see that the
latter is nearly one-ifth larger thar

These unprotected squawz.
AIsho not white, they orto be,
-Pezseekted by our Laws,
From insult and the likes of that
These unperteckted squawz.
But no, set Nv rowdy chaps,
With shouts an loud hooraws,
An lister kans an old tin pans,
Got after these four squawz.
Tha chased 'em up to Bullion street,
Nor didn't halt nor paw,
Till suddenly thar disappeared
-Four unprotected squawz.
Sum fellers havin hooman hartz.
An merritin applaws,
Opened the dore and tuck 'em In,
-Four unprotected squawz,
Whether the Devil dun the ack,

DIDN'T ENJOY HERSELF AS USUAL |
AS an original expression of heavy
grief we doubt if anything more
f. touching has been read than the fol-
lowing, of crushed heart, in Stan
City, Nevada. Mrs. -, of that
place, an eccentric old lady, recently
" rushed into the room of a relative,
and without waiting for the usual sal
, utations, said 9Well, Johns dead p

" Died last nightl I want you all to
come to the funeral. The Masons and
Odd Fellows are going to turn out,
aud we shall have a beautiful time."-
Deaths being of a rare occurrence in
the settlement, of course everybody
went to the funeral. Next day some
body remarked to the old lady that
there was a large turn out. eyes, in
deed, there was" she replied, "but 1
didh'trfenjoy myself as well as

HOW TO JUDGE THE WEATHER BY

The colors of the sky at particular
times afford wonderfully good guild
ance.. Not only does a rosy sunset
presage fair weather, but there are
,g other tints which speak with equal

low sky in the evening indicates wind
a paIes.yellow, wet; a natural grey

the evening, an unfavorable one in
aasthe morning. The clouds are full of
meaning in themselves. Iftheir forms

weather will be fine if the edges are
