NEVER BE HAUGHFY.-A humming bird

beauty of its person, and glory of it's wings,
made an offer of perpetual friendship.
II cannot think of it, was the reply

"Impossible!" exclaimed the hummine
bird. II always entertain the highest res

IF THAT'S ALL, Buy .IT.-Close to the
lands Of the Centre Oil Company there
lives an old chap who is worth mint. L.
norant, of course, dumb luck has made him
rich. His household pets consist Of ter
rier dog and stupid daughter. both Of whom
engage bus attention. The former provided
for lie dtermined TO Hsecomplish" his
daughter. 70 this end he came to the city.
He bought piano and > harp, and quit
ar, and car load of music books and so
forth, winding mp his business by engaging
a frstelass Intellectual and musical tutor,
With all of which he started for the Gre
gion." The documents were, of course,
soon arranged for businss. The tutor set
to work and toiled like Trojan, but with
out success. Despairing of ultimate triumph,
the tutor went to the oil-king and made a
clean breast Of it. ........ .,..

To CLARITY FAT.-In every household,
more or less fat of various kinds will accu-
mulate, which cannot be used in cookery
from its being mixed with foreign substan-
ces, as, for instance, the fat after frying
ssusages, or the fat from mutton. This
fat is frequently wasted, or at least conver-
ted into soap grease, by the young house
keeper, who is ignorant of the fact that by
very easy and cheap process it could be
made nearly as valuable as the best lard.
Don't let this material be longer wasted,
but try the following plan: ''To every
quart of such fat, peel and slice one good
sized raw potato; place the fat over the fire
and put in the potato, and cook until the
potato is cooked all up to a scrimp; then
remove from the fire, skim out the potato
and throw it away let it settle, and pour
off the clear fat, which will be quite as
sweet and inodorous as fresh lard, and can
be used for any purpose that lard may be
used"

Ia One of the radical candidates for

little boy, about fifteen years old, who fell
in love and engaged himself to one of the
neighboring girls. His father, learning the
facts, hunted the young man up, and, find
ing him at his lady-love's house, gave him
good whipping and sent him home. The
little fellow started on his way, crying, and
met one Of the neighbors, who inquired
wkst was the matter. The little fellow re.
piled that his father had whipped him be-
cause he wanted. to marry.

Mississippi. Last spring the plants grown
ON a piece of ground in Louisiana were
kept for cleaning by the Roezl machine,
the result Of which we then stated, but as
the fibre was not then and thereby made
perfectly soft and phable, it was sent by
Mr.. Bruckner, one of the agents Of Mr..
Roezl, to Germany, where, by process
used there, it has been made so soft, plia-
Bile and clear of any substance foreign to it
as textile, that we thought, it must surely
be silk, until we examined it closely, and
saw that it was the vegetable fibre Of ra-

Mr.. Bruckner tells US that the ramie can
be prepared and made thus fine and alto
+gether silk-like at cost not to exceed two
cents per pound, and then it will be vastly
superior to the linen floss, which sells at
from six to eight dollars per pound when
made into thread, and will certainly be
worth, unspun, a dollar pound Weekly
