A MODEL HUSBAND
/ saw o model husband In a dream, mann
Whore things are not exactly what they seem;
moral man, to sceptics be IL known;
The wife he loved and cherished was-his own;
with horse and chaise ave minutes at the gate,
While Jane put on her things; nor spoke one
Or bitter word, though waiting half an hour
For dinner; and, like Patience on a throne,
He didn't swear to nnd button gone.
A WRITER in Appleton's Journal sug-
gests what he considers the only adequate
method for putting stop to the evils OF
adulteration in the common articles OF
food. This is to teach the art of discov-
ering and exposing adulterations in the
public schools. Every school should have
a laboratory, and every boy and girl OF
fifteen should be instructed in elementary
chemical testing, and, the use of the com
mon microscope i..ta
THERE is an old story Of Venetian
painter who set up his picture in the
street with the request that anybody who
perceived error or failure in the piece
would "make note of it." He found as
the result, that every square inch of his
laborious canvas was condemned; but
when he altered the request, and begged
that an ingenious public would oblige him
by denoting what was faultless again
every square inch was lauded to the skies
by some critic or another.
THERE are only two manageable girls
at Coosa, Oregon. On Sundays, half a
dozen or more young fellows sit all day
on the verandahs in front of the ladies'
houses, while each fair one looks at her
followers through the halgg.open widow,
The lovers, all the while, are whiting
bits of white pine. At dark .hey move
home but the damsels find these visits
profitable, for thereis generally left behind
pile of shavings big enough to light
fires for the rest OF the week. -
ITIs an easy matter to lead grape vines
on to single trees, and in this way consid.
erable fruit may be grown at little ex.
pense. Low headed, spreading trees are
best for this purpose, like the apple OF
butternnt. The vine should be planted in
good soil several feet distant from the
trunk, and single cane led up pole to
some strong limb, whence 1t will soon
spread over the entire head of the tree
The stem of the vine should be protected
against injury from stock. Vine covered
trees would add to the picturesqueness ol
many landscapes, and repay the cost aside
from the fruit, but we wouldn't advise any
one to grow less vines in his garden oi
vineyard on account of covering a few
unsightly trees with them Erchange.
A FEW days since little girl in Newark
N. j., was missing from her home, anC
all efforts to find her proved unavailing
1t was finally suggested that she might
have fallen through crevice in the walk
down 9 distance of forty. feet into the
vault Of a neighboring brewery. Lightl
were lowered thrOagh- the aperture, and
afterward a man descended. Strange, tC
relate, he found the little one lying asleer
upon high bed Of dirt and stones. hay
ing become weary with crying for assist
ance. When taken out and examined bJ
a leading physician of that city (who Al
the same time Y,0uches for the correctness
of this story, she was found TO be per
fectly well, and TO have suffered no bodily
harm by her perilous fall.
