Mechanical Ingenuity of Farmers.

One of the component parts of a good far
r,er il mechanical ingenuity. Some lose
half n DAVIS time for want of knowing how
TO repair a breakage which an ingenious per-
son could 90 in five minutes. A team and
two or three men are sometimes stopped a
whole day, at critical season, for want of
\ little mechanical skill 1t is well Cor
eyery farmer to have at hand the facilities
tor repairing. In addition to the more com
mon tools, be should keep supply of nails
of different sizes, screws, bolts and nuts
Common cut nails are too brittle for repair
ing implements, or for other similar purposes.
Buy only the very best, and anneal them,
and they will answer all the ordinary pur.
poses Of the best wrought nails. To anneal
them. all that is necessary is to heat them
red hot in a common fire, and cool gradually.
Let them COOL for instance, by remaining in
the fire while it burns down and goes out.
One such nail, well clinched, will be worth
half dozen unannealed. Nothing is more
common than for n farmer to visit black
smiths shop to get a broken or lost bolt or
rivet inserted, and often single nut on
bolt. This must be paid for, and much time
is lost. By providing supply of bolts, nuts
and riyets. much time and trouble may be
saved. They may be purchased wholesale
at low rate. These should all be kept in
shallow boxes, with compartments made for
the purpose, furnished with bow-hande for
in carrying them. One box
with bali dozen divisions, may be appro-
prated to nails of different sizes and anotb.
er, with as many compartments, to screws,
bolts, rivets.setc. Every farmer should keep
on hand supply Of copper wire, and small
pieces OF sheet copper or copper straps
Copper wire is better than annealed iron
wire; 1T is almost as flexible as twine, and
may be be bent and twisted as desired, and
it will not rust Copper straps nailed across
Or around fracture or split in wooden ar
ticle, will strengthen it in a thorough man.

An AFFECTING ScENE.-At the theater in
Douai. during the first performance Of Offen-
bach's new operetto, a young actress. who
appeared for the first time, was hissed. She
turned deadly pale, drew a poignard from
her bosom and tried to stab herself. Fortu-
nately the other actors succeeded in wrestling
the weapon from her hands. The perfor
nance was interrupted for half an hour,
and when the curtain rose again, the mana
ger appeared, and said To the highly excited
audience that the young actress would reap
pear, but he begged them not to insult her ::
she was highly talented. and that a little
encouragement given to her would at once
elicit the full splendor of her talents. The
gallant Frenchmen burst into deafening an
plause when the young girl came forward
again, and encored the first air which she
sang in tremulous voice. This mark Of
success visibly animated her courage, and
she achieved a great triumph. 1t was after.
wards ascertained that she had gone on the
stage to support her old mother, and the fail
ure OF her debut would have exposed them
TO extreme poverty. Hence her despair
when the kissing burst forth.

PAT AND THE CROWNED HEADs.-A
very amusing anecdote is told Of an Irish
man who happened to be in Paris some
time ago, while three crowned heads OF
Europe were on visit to his Imperial
Majesty Napoleon These distinguished
persons were the Emperors of Russia and
Austria and the King of Prussia. One
day they determined to throw aside all
state ceremonial and see the sights OF the
beautiful city For their dclectation and
for this purpose they resolved to go incog
so as not to be recognized by the people
However, in their stroll through Paris they
went estray and meeting a gentlemanly
looking person who happened to be an
Irisbman, they politely asked him if he
would direct them to the Palais Royal.
Faith and bedad that | will, my boys" :"
says Pat, taking mental photograph of the
boys.
This way, my hearties," and they were
conducted to the gates of the Palais Roy
al, and the Irishman was about bidding
them FAREWELL when the Emperor of Rus
sia, interested and pleased as much by the
genuine politeness of Pat as tS his ndioette
and witty remarks, asked who he was!
"Well [ did not ask you who you were,
and before | answer you, perhaps, who may
you be?'
After some further parleying, one said:
al am Alexander and they call me Car
or Emperor of all the Empire of Russia "
"Indeed p said Pat with rouglsh
twinkle in the corner of his eye and an
incredulous nod of the head, as much as to
say, this boy is up to codding me bit.
"And might l make bold to ak who ye
might be p
=" "They call me Francis Joseph, the
Emperor of Austria y
Most happy to make your acqualnt-
ance, Frank p said the lrishman, who
was thinking he was hoaxed in his efforts
to get the truth, as he conceived, out of
them Turning to the third one he asked
Who are youY'
"They call me Frederick William, King
of Prussia !'
They then reminded him that he prom
ised to tell them who he was, and after
some hesitation, and with mysterious air
of confidence, Pat putting his hand to his
mouth, whispered:
al am Imperor of China, but don't tell
anybody"

Attention is also directed to the following section
of the Act of 1860 g. relating to Shasta county:

it is hereby made his duty to collect all the poll or

taxes upon all movable personal property and upon

and if such person, firm, corporation, association
or company shall refuse neglect to pay such
taxes the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him, proceed to collect such taxes
in the same manner prescribed by law for the Col
ector."
If Tax Payers to have a list of their pro-
perty prepared, ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time Of my reaching them, they
would thereby perhaps save themselves much an

Mr. Usher, in coming over from Flint, on

all the way from California to Montana and
back this far, and that his faithful dog had
been his sole companion, packing his
blankets and other little things indispen-

him, but were overmatched by Tige and

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-

the unwary- Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and

at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers

Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1852 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make nquiryit will cost
