\ LESSON on HUNIILITY.-A farmer
took his son into wheat-feld i'm har-
vest time. "See, father" exclaimed
the boy, chow straight those stems hold
up their headI They must be the best
ones. Those that hang their heads
down, l am sure, cannot be GOOD for
much" The farmer pIucked a stalk of
each kind, and said, ''See here. nv
child! This stalk that stood so straight
is light-headed, and almost good for
nothing; while that that hung its head
SO modestly is fun of precious grain. -

TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAVE
There's the secret! \ saving woman at
the head Of the family is the very best
saving bank establishmeut-one receiv-
ing deposits daily and hourly, with 10
costly machinery to manageit The idea
OF saving Is a pleasant one, and if the
women would imbibe il at once, they
would cultivate and adhere to 1t, and
thus when they We're not aware of il,
would be laying the foundation of n
competent security in a stormy time
and shelter in q rainy day. The woman
who sees to her own house has 4 large
field to save in. The best way to make
her comprehend il is to heep an account
Of all current expenses. Probably not
one woman in ten has an idea how
much are the expenditures of herself
and family. Where from one TO two
thousand dallars are expended annually.
there is chance to save something if
the effort is made. Let the housewife
take the idea, act upon ii, and she will
save many dOllars-perhaps hundreds
where before she thought it impossible.
This IS a duty, yet not prompting of
avarice, but a moral obligation that
rests upon the woman as the man.

\ SCIENTIFIC REvENGE.-A terrible
scientific revenge was recently taken by
a young chemist named Orlando Far
nerini. He loved young lady, but she
loved another, who was a tailor. Or
lando owed him money, and sent word
he would pay il If the tailor and his be-
trOthed would visit him i'm his labora-
tory. The invitation was accepted, and
Orlando slyly got them to take part i'm
electrical experiments. He babe them
give him their hands, put one pole of a
Rumkerf apparatus between the girls
fingers and the other into the tailor's
hand, and then joined currents. The
lovers fell to the ground in convulsive
fits, but Farnerimi only laughed. After
trying to disengage themselves from the
apparatus in vain, in five minutes they
became distorted cOrpses. Farnerimi
with the utmost 'sangfroid" reported
the matter to the police and gave him
self up.

KEEPING ONIoNs.--The New England
Homestead says: s. Onions will withstand
far more cold than is usually supposed. If
packed dry in tight barrels, and all inter-
atices filled with chaff, they may be kept in
barn or where they will freeze quite hard,
and not be injured, provided the barrels
are closed tight and not opened until the
onions are again thawed. Onions stored
in warm cellar arc very likely to sprout
in winter, and then decay, emitting anything
but an agreeable odor."
