"Schmall Box.

There are a few men in Cincinnati
who make n living by selling cheap
signs of various kinds, to hang out
side corner groceries, saloons, etc.
Since it was recommended by the
Board of Health that a sign inscribed
t'Small poX" should be suspended in
front of the houses where that dis
ease prevailed, one of the most en-
terprising of the cheap sign dealers
prepared quantity of them to be
ready for aa expected demand. The
other morning he called with his as
sortment at a lage. beer saloon over
the canal.
"Want any signs - he inquired of
the portly proprietor.
"Yaw," said Han. al wants sign
'Sawdust Vanted.'"
''Here it is,n said the dealer, " no
was a bit of a wag, handing him one
of the small poX signs and receiving
his pay departed.
The unsuspectingTeuton surprising
that ii was all right, and not being
able to read English, he hung it out
side the door. People passing on the
walk, saw the sign, turned pale, and
hurried to the other side of the street.
Regular customers came, caught
sight of the ominous Inscription, with
n hand on the dOor-knOb, and stole
away, remarking that they guessed
they weren't dry that morning, any
how. An opportune creditor, whom
nothing could daunt before, blanch-
ed at the sign, and going home, he
went straight to bed.
In the meantime the saloon-keeper
was wondering at the absence of his
Gus TONERS The regular forenoon
lunch was spread-soup, boiled tripe.
Bologna sausage, stewed liver and
onions, sauerkraut and brown bread
but no one to partake oft. Being of
a social disposition, this solitude was
oppressive to him, aside from being
Improbable. At length one man
did come in and call for glass of
beer. His face was deeply pitted.
He had had it.
Il see by your sign out there, -
said the man, with motion of the
head toward the front door, chat

that he alluded TO sawdust wanted

ell Teuton; "vat you mean by small

Explanations of course ensued and
the wrath of that beer-jerher and
lunch-setter was fearful TO behold.
Could he have fastened his embrace
on that painter at that time, he
would have"died and made no signn
more.

& Gentle KThnke.

\ lady, riding in a car on the New
York Central Railroad, was disturb
ed in her reading by the converse
ton Of two gentlemen, occupying
the seat just before her. One of them
seemed TO be student of some col
Iege, ON his way home for vacation.
He used much profane language,
greatly To the annoyance of the lady.
She thought she would rebuke him
and on begging pardon for interrupt
ing them, asked the young student
if he had studied the languages ~
Student-"G madame, | have
mastered tie languages quite well. y
Lady-''Do you read and speak
Hebrew 80
Student-''Quite fluently.n
Lady-'Will you be so kind rs TO
do me a small favor ~
With great pleasure I
am at your service
Lady-"Will You be SO kind as to
do your swearing IN Hebrew -
We may well suppose the lady was
not annoyed any more by the ungen-
tlemanly language of this would-be
gentleman.

WHEN OUR SHIP COMES IN.

In cottage that stood on Wild shea shore,
5 lit.lc enc sat meath the YIne-wreathed door,
Swallowed and sad was that childish face,
On the soft pink cheek shone the tear-drop's
trace
For the cherished toy-best loved by all
The poor little waxen face biue-eyed doll
was broken; smile not at the childish pain.
Nor the tears that were dropping ike silver
rain.
: isut the gentle mother, with loving tone,
SAL bending down by the little one, = -
And kissing the mouth and dimpled chin,
Don't cry, my love; when our ship comes IN
We Will get a new doll, oh far more fair,
With brighter ewes and with softer hair
NOW dry your fears, Tor twill surely be
When our ship comes i9 from the far, wide
sea-
on, that ship to come, and how Oft before
lave the bright eyes watched from the cottage
door,
4 with eager gaze they We're watching now
Ear he cleaning sail and the rushing prov;
But Oft she ran to her mother side,
Her sweet blue eyes with the gladness wide.
As she pictured the wonderful pleasure to bc
When our ship came in from the distant sea
.fhe dearest gift and The best of all s-A
For her little heart was the darling doh:
Eat Ola, there were treasures unknown, untold,
All safely slowed IN its precious hold,
Aud standing thus with her beaming eyes,
The tears ALI gone and the childish signs,
She turned the sweet face with its smiles to me /,
And said, ''Haye you any ships at sca2''
Childi you did not know the wild thrub OF pain
Those light words sent through my heart and
brain;
All we all have ships on the stormy sea,
All weary watchers for them are we;
And when the tempest ami clouds are rife
When storms sweep over the OflIfe,
With fearful eyes, by the sounding shore,
We watch fer them-we kaye watched before I;
But Of all who weary and trembling wait
Fer the coming ships with their precious
freight,
rs known, o Father, 70 none but Thee,
Ii they safely arrive or be lost at sea.

Most farmers consider wheat bran
as very poor food for stock, but
nevertheless ii contains more fat oil
than the flour the flour contains
from one and a half to one and three
quarters per cent, of oil or fatty mat
ter, and bran from four and a half to
five and three quarter pounds in every
one hundred. Yet bran by itself will
not, though it contains a greater por-
ton of fatty matter than corn, fatten
an animal unless it is. mixed with
something else. This may be ac-
counted for by chemical reasoning.
If laying on fat was the only duty
Of the food, then bran would answer !:
but not a large amount is necessary
To support respiration A.; to do this we
must have carbon corn in addition
to fatty matter contains large. per
centage of carbon in the form of
gluten, while the bran contains but
little. / have found that meal which
is one-third bran and two-thirds corn
will fatten as fast as all corn. In
England it is much used in connec-
ton with oil cake.
The age of the grain or hay has a
great effect OH its fattening qualities.
English race and other fast horses
are never fed on new oats until Feb
ruary or March if fed before that
time it causes a disease like grease,
and spoils the horses for fast work.
The loss of moisture is not the only
change which takes place in the
grain, for crying it by artificial heat
does not remove the bad effect. On
the other hand, the potato loses
much gifts fattening quality keeping.
Boussingault estimates that twenty
eight pounds of potatoes just after
digging are worth forty-one pounds
year old. Turnips or potatoes
which have once sprouted, lose near
" ali their fattening qualities.

EARLY ROSE POTATO. This posa-
to is supposed to be the earliest large
variety at present known, although
there may be others equally as good
in this respect but they have not
been generally disseminated. The
general characters may be summed
up as follows: Very early, and large;
skin smooth, of pale rose color, al
most white when fully matured the
eyes prominent, not deeply sunken

long, oval, slightly compressed
flesh snow white, and very dry and
mealy, without any strong flavor is
found in some of the large late vari
ties : it is also very productive, and
the tubers keep well and retain their
good qualities until spring, and il

superior TO the Early Goodric h.

cond thought they had all come
to the conclusion that it would be
better 10 make their purchases AS
early in the day as possible, and
that consequently the other two had
desired him TO return and get the
money!
"And the landlord gave him the
whole 0sum at once?u interposed
Mr.. Vaughan.
HE did, indeed, Unfortunate,y for
himself and me, = answered theo her.
"And what followed ~ inquired
the learned gentleman eagerly.
Why, the other stranger and the
London merchant returned in about
an hour, and demanded their
money! s
when the landlord, of course,
told them he had given it TO the
other ?u
"Ha did ~
con which, / suppose, they bring
an action against the landlord 2''
Precisely so; and seeing that de-
fence was useless, inasmuch as he
delivered up the money to one,
when his instructions were perempt-
DRY not to deliver it until all three
| were present, my friend is to allow
| the action to go undefended. The
money must be paid TO the sharper
| for both strangers, as the event prov
| ed, were sharpers-and also the Lon
| don merchant"
"And YOU really have made up
your mind to pay it Pr
ooh certainly, because there is
no help for it,
| AZ am u barrister i am Mr.. Ser
| geant Vaughan, and | will defend
| the ease gratuItOusly.'
The other rendered him thousand
thanks, for his apPrehensions We're
| that all efforts at defence would be
| perfectly useless. =zeg
ave Shall see, - said the Sergeant
significantly, 1--WE shall see You
and your friend the landlord VIII
call on me this evening at three
O'Clock, to arrange for the defence
tomorrow"
| Tomorrow came, ana the case was
| duly called on. The poorinn-keeper,
acting on the advice of Mr.. V aughan,
but not perceiving in what way
| he could be benefited by it, defend
| ed the case.
| Everything proceeded 80 faverably
| for the prosecution for some time,
| that. ti.0Ggh every person i'll the
court deeply synpathiZed with the
unfortunate landlord, they saw no
possibility oc any other result than
a decision against him. Mr.. Ser
| geant Vaughan, when the case for
prosecution was closed, arose and
said
Now, gentlemen of the jury, you
| have heard the evidence adduced.
You have seen it proved by uneXcep-
tional witnesses, that the defendant
received the most positive nistruc-
tons from all three not To deliver
| the money, or any part oft, to eth
er of the parties except iii the pres
| ence of all. Gentlemen, my client
| has got the money in his possession,
and is ready To give it up aChcn dtl
| three I3ort5es cone to demand it.
Let the absent party be brought TO
| his house, in company with the
other two, and every one viii have
his money returned him.
The defence was equally ingen-
iOus and complete. The jury looked
as amazed at each other as if some
world had burst on their astonished
gaze so did all the spectators in
| court. The verdict was, of course,
for the defendant. 1t is unnecessary
to add that the two who had abscond-
ed with the money never returned,
and consequently the poor landlord
never had TO pay farthing OF the
| amount.

Jociability Among Farmers.

Naturally the farmer is an unset
fish man. His labors are mostly out
of doors. His calling takes him
much abroad, and enables Linn to
mingle with the world Yet, look
ing through the very large opera
ton of the population embraced in
his pursuit, and the important infiu-'
ence exercised by it over all our pub
lie affairs, it's a subject of common
remark, even by agriculturists them
selves, that their social intercourse
should be so much restricted.
There is 10 other cause of this Sc
clusiveness on the part Of the farm
ers that we can see, than the "tTain-
ing in the footsteps of their prede-
cessors." Be this as it may, there
are other causes operating which APP
pear to be changing this for the bet
ter. Country fairs, bringing agri-
culturists together from districts suf
| ficiently near each other to make ac-
| quaintanceship pleasant and lasting,
and putting them in friendly emula-
| ton in matters and things involving
their .agrestic skill and success are
clearly working to form more close
com partnership between those whose
domestic comforts and family enjoy
ments must be greatly, promoted in
| the future.
Little clubs among farmers OF a
| neighborhood, to meet once a week,
| to discuss or talk over the innumera-
| bic subjects connected with the intel
| ligent prosecution of their noble pro-
| fe ssion, produce decidedly fratern-
iZing and socializing effect. While
| these local associations should not
| be too formal ana restricted, they
should have an official organization
as better calculated to cause pUmctu-
atty at the meetings, as we'll as to
! add to their permanently.
| On these the wives and daughters
of families should always accompany
| their husbands, fathers or brothers,
not to participate, of course, in the
| proceedings that may take but to in
crease the agreeabilitv of the meet
ings, and to share in the pleasure OF
these delightful interchanges of good
neighborhood. Indeed, if the truth
must be spoken, and we are ready to
do it on all occasions, especially up
on such a one as this, there is very
little social enjoyment in the world
which is not refined and made doub-
| ly enjoyable by the presence of wo-
