THE FAIR.-As the time for holding
our Fair approaches, we would remind
our farmers and others of the importance
of taking an early action in the matter,
and would entreat them to take hold and
make the affair a successful one. Get
your best products and ''fxings' ready,
and on the It'll, of next month bring
them In. 1t doesn't make any difference
whether the article you want to exhibit
is on the advertised premium list or not;
bring it in, and if worthy, premium will
be awarded you.
This is the beginning of a new era in
Manitovoc County in this line, and if
the first i successful enc, tie follow
ing ones will surely be SO. So come in,
all, and do your share toward the good
work

EIE LANGUAGE OF A RINGLET.
IAN exchange gives the follow
ing Interpretation Of the fashions
bic queue worn by the ladies':
The solitary ringlet which SO
fashionably floats from the water
falIsol our marriageable bellies here,
not only looks most proVokingly
sweet, but has a language very
significant, and is indicative of,
the state Of the wearer. Report
says it is q "notiGcation on the
part Of those who wear them, to
all male persons, that they, the
girls,are not engaged The length
Of this lonely ringlet, or shoulder
eGeue, indicates the desire--tol
instance, If extremely long, The
wearer is very desirous of getting
spliced at once--if only moder-
ately long, it shows that only good
offers will be entertained--an ex
tremely short, meagre ringlet
would show that the wearer is very
particular as to who she accepts
but nevertheless shows that she i
BOT yet engaged.
Young men, you have the queue
now so act accordingly.

Served Right.

Deacon W was a staid and
honest deacon of an interior town
| in New York, who had a vein of
dry caustic humor in his compost
ton. The deacon had a boy of a
dozen summers, who was inclined
to be a little ugly when not under
the parental eye. In school, espe-
cially, John was source of constant
annoyance to the teacher. One
day the teacher punished him for
some misdemeanor, and John went
home to enter bis complaint, and
told his father that the teacher
had whipped him.
WHAT exclaimed the deacon,
elevating his ssSaegssT been
whipped p 20
"Y-a-a-s," sobbed the bey.
"And did you let woman whip
We ?" shouted the deacon.
"Y-a-a-s. / couldn't help it. "
"Now, John, you little rascal,
you go to school tomorrow, and If
Miss = undertakes to whip you,
don't let her if you can help tt
Don't take a stick to strike with,
but ye may strike, bite and kick
Jas much as you have a mind to I"
The next day che boy went to
school, and, emboldened by the
permission given by bis father, was
soon brought before the tribunal
lof violated rules. The teacher un-
Idertook to correct him, and he did
as his father had told him. The
result was that John got a most
unmerciful thrashing, and was
thoroughly subdued When he
went home he went to his father
crying
"Well, dad, l got an orful lick
ing to-day"
w nat SAID the ola deacon,
have you let that old woman whip
ye again p
"Y-a-a-s," whispered John. Il
kicked her, and struck her, and fit
all could, but she lammea me
Iortully."
"Ahai" chuckled the humorous
old deacon; "you fool, | knew
she would +; and she'll give you a
trouncing every time she under
takes it, and l would advise you to
behave in ARture."
John began to have some percep.
tion of his fathers motive, and ev-
er after was a better and wiser boy.

The Tomb of Hope.

Up to October Is, the number
of patents issued from the. Patent
Office had reached S3,12S. In
looking over the list we find such
things as "churn-dashers," Scamp
stools, !" @skates," agricultural 10
Icomotives," s'toy pistols" "box-
openers" and "gaiter boots"
among the inventions patented.
These are the inventions that re-
ally pay the best and the soonest.
Patented toys of the most frivo-
-lous and useless description have
enriched their originators, while
inventions of the most wonderful
and serviceable character still lie
unknown and unproductiye Out
of the SS, 1000 and odd inyentiOns
whose models lie in the Patent
Office, probably eighty thousand
have failed to yield their authors
even the ghost of peelniary re-
muneration. Yet every man of
the disappointed $4,000 was Ger
tain, when be received hia precious
patent, that he had received his
everlasting fortune. Not one, We
venture to say, that did not verify
believe that he held in his grasp
the key that was to unlock to him
untold golden treasure. Not even
disappointment oft repeated; not
sneers, not Bullets, not starvation,
rags and lack of home, ever con-
vince these deluded owners of
worthless patents that they are
not yet to reap the benefits Of
their rare contrivances, and are.
not just upon the very threshold
of unparalleled, and boundless
success. When death comes 10
any one Of these poor fellows, he
hugs the cherished parchment to
his breast, and exclaims, ''To die,
just as / was about to obtain cap
ital wherewith to start the bust
ness that would make me a mil
lionaire." !" Seldom, even when
they dispose of their marvellous
discoveries, do they get the oys-
ter. They obtain the shell, while
some capitalist without q scintilla
of inventive faculty, obtains the
luscious meat. There is no larger
or more solemn tqmb of hope than
the Patent Office at Washington.

Coal Oil.

We copy the following from the
Boston Journal Of Commerce
The error must not prevail, that
kerosene oil of legal standard viii
ignite or burn if a lamp contain
ing it is broken, Good oil, such
as should be used in fam
lies, will extinguish flame when
brought in contact with it. Oil
heated to the usual point while
burning in a lamp in the evening,
sFouId extinguish a lighted match
when thrust into it. Ii the read
er is using in his family unadul-
terated kerpsene, he may take off
the cap OF the lamp, and thrust m
a lighted taper; he may turn il
cut upon the floor, and apply
fame and it wilLnot. take FIRE or
explode. Standard kerosene, such
as the law recognizes, is perfectly
SAFE. We wish to state and re-
state this fact, as it weuld,be
great misfortune, especially to the
poor, to have the erroneous idea
prevail, that all kerosene is dan
gerous, a cheap light is too great
blessing to be depriVedof through
unjust prejudice. 1t is only the
wretched, adulterated oils, the
naptha fluids, that are dangerous.
We are almost discouraged in
our efforts to explain the nature
| of the illuminating fluids, when
we find, as we have during the
| past month, a daring, reckless fel-
low travelling through the towns
about this city, selling recipes to

A Ton of Hay by Measure.

It is a matter of considerable
@dispute how much hdy iae the mooo
ought to be allowed as a ton in
weight. In some of the Agricul-
tural journals figures widely apart
are given as correct. Some as
sert that a cube Of 10 feet square
is required, or 1000 cubic feet /;
H4hile. others place it as low as 6
feet square and 4 feet deep, or on
ly 392 cubic feet. Now both of
these cannot be right--neither
can any measure be fixed upon to
hold good under all circumstances.
HAY, at the bottom of the NOW,
will be more solid than at the sur
face, and ;the whole will be very
much affected by the quantity of
grain pnte top Of it, (if any,
and the@depth Of the hay.
But, having occasion to sell a
ton in my bGrn, to be sure of the
quantity fer future reference, l
measured Of space s feet square
on one, .corAer of the NOW, and
cut down 7daet deep, and found
the hay removed weighed 1920
pounds, thRg making 44S cubic
feet, good measure for a ton OF
hoy; it was taken from a surface,
upon which 2G0 dozen of good
oats had been stored. The hay
was II feet deep.

CURE FOR SPRAINs.-In the Par
is hospitals, a treatment is prac-
ticed that is found most successful
for q frequent accident, and which
can be applied by the most mex
perienced. If the ankle is sprained
for instance, let the operator hold
the foot in his hands, with his
thumbs meeting on the swollen
part. These having been previ-
ously creased, are pressed success
sively with increasing force on the
injured and painful spot for about
a quarter of an hour. This ap-
plication being repeated several
times will, in the course of the
day, enable a patient to walk,
when other means would have
failed to relieve him.

MoTHER,s KISSES.

"No, no, mo-" cried five years Guy,
"Nurse, don't wash my face today
."Why,'my boy, pray tell me Why"
"Just because mammals awsy?"
HWhen she went away" said Guy,
Yesterday, she kissed it over,
Eyes and forehea1 4, cheeks and chin,
And she said twas sweet as clover
But she cried hard, by and by,
And her face was very sed
So Pll keep these kisses in,
For know twill make her glad
Just before she let me go,
4 She put the biggest kisses here;
Then she cried and hugged me so,
And whispered softly In my ear
Let these stay, my darling son,
Until this short journeys done
So mamma of course will come
Back tomorrow to our home,
And these, every one, shall stay;
Nurse, yon shan't wash one away"
All, Ipity you, boy Gnyi
Softer airs the mother sought,
Only far away to die,
You'll wait itlonger than you thought
For your journey, hapless Guy,
Did your mother kiss you so,
And her hundred-fold good bye
Into Heaven with you will go,
Not the stormy rains Of life.
Tears, nor sweeping hand of care,
Lips of maiden nor of wife,
Can remove the kisses there,
