z The Davenport, Iowa, printers seized
a circus and menagerie the other day for
not paying its bills, and now each editor
is the happy owner of Swineouphalus,
or Giasticutus, or Hippopotatiemise, or
an Alaskan Sea Lion. When subscribers
rage and man comes in and wants to
know "Who wrote that article,'' the
editor unchains his menagerie, and the
insulted fellow has sudden call to "see
a man. elsewhere.

! SEASONING WooD.-A writer in an
English journal informs US that small
pieces OF non resinous wood can be sea
soned perfectly by boiling four or five
hnurs-the process taking the sap out of
the wood, which shrinks nearly one-tenth
in the operation. The same writer states
that trees felled in full leaf in June or
July, and allowed to lie until every leaf
has fallen, will then be nearly dry, as the
leaves will not drop of themselves until
they have drawn up and exhausted
all the sap of the tree. The time required
is from month to six weeks.

BATHING UNDER DIFFIcULTIZs.-Out In
Ohio, some time since, twenty Baptist
clergymen, who were attending conv"n-
ton, went down to secluded spot on the
river bank in the afternoon for the purpose
Of taking swim. These score of brethren
removed their clothing and placed it upon
the railroad close at hand, because the grass
was wet. Then they entered the water and
enjoyed themselves. Presently an express
train came around the curve at the rate of
forty miles an hour, and before any Of the
swimmers could reach dry land all their
uudershirts and socks and things were
huttering from the cow-catcher and speed
ing onward toward Kansas. 1t was painful
for the brethren exceedingly painful-be-
cause all the clothing that could be found
after a careful search, was sun umbrella
and q pair of eye glasses. And they do
say that when those twenty marched homs
by the refalgent light of the moon that
evening" IN ssiagle 66la and keeping close to-
gether, the most familiar acquaintance with
the Zouave drill. on the part Of the man at
the head with the umbrella, hardly suficed
to cover them completely. They said they
falt conspicuous somehow and the situation
was all the more embarrassing, because all
the Dorcas societies and woman's rights
conventions, and the pupils at the female
boarding schools, seemed to be prancing
around on the streets in the route Of the pa
rade.

Three Jolly Husbands

Three Jolly Berks Co. husbands, BY name
Tim Watson, Joe Brown and Bill Walker,
sat late one evening drinking at the village
tavern, until being pretty well corned, they
agreed that each, on returning home, should
do the 6rst thing his wife told him, in default
efwhieh he should, the next morning, pay
the bill They then separated for the night,
engaging to meet the next morning and give
an honest account of their proceedings at
home, so far as related to the bill. The
next morning Walker and Brown made their
appearance, but it was some time before Wat
son arrived. (. Walker began first: "Eou seer
when I entered my house the candle was
out, and tho fire was giving but gllmmer-
ing of light. l came near walking &C
cidentally into pot of batter that the
pancakes were to be made of next morning:
My wife, who was dreadfully out Of humor
at sitting up 80 late, said to me, sarcastically:
Bill, do put your foot into the batter
Just as you say, Maggie said l, and with
outthe least hesitation l put my foot into
the pot of batter, and went to bed" Next
Joe Brown told his story: "My wife had
already retired in our usual sleeping
which adjoins the kitchen, the door of
which was. ajar. Not being able, you know,
to navigate perfectly, made dreadful

or said than DONE seized hold Of the tail
ofthe pot, and striking it againstthe chimney
jamb, broke it into hundred pieces. After
this exploit I retired to rest and received
curtain lecture for my pains" 1t was now
Tim Watson'ss turn to give an account OF
himself, which he did with very long face,
as follows: ''My wife gave me the most un-
lucky command in the world, for [ was

Prof a. Of Yale College, was pass

when an ambitious Freshman dropped slyly
into his cap piece Of paper on which he
had written legibly the. word "Monkey."
Hekled with his joke, he told his success to
all his student friends. But speedy re-
tribution befell him. At the next recita-

vision thus, in his sweetest tones: "Gentle-
