An Amusing Parlor Trick.
ELSIE PLATT.

Dear girls and boys: want to tell
you Of something very funny to do, if
yon have little brother or sister who
does not mind dressing up and stand
ing still for few moments. Nv amt
showed me how to do it the other dav.
when sister Nelly had a birthday party.
We took little brother Tommy out into
the library and stood him upon a high
wooden stool, and dressed him up yery
finely in mammals clothes. The stool
made him so tall that the dress was of
Just the right length. Then Uncle
Ned, telling him to stand straight and
firm, carried him out, stool and all. in
to the parlor. wish you could have
heard the girls and boys laugh! He
had such a comical look-with his tail
body and little, round face-iust like
some Of those French Parian figures
One little girl handed him q fan. and
then it was too funny to SEQ the tall
lady fan herself affectedly with her very
small, dimplcd hands. All the bows
and girls just shouted, and somehow I
couldn't help thinking that if the tall
Ialy would lift her dress just one inch.
we'd see !, pair of feet as little as the
hands.
Good-by. If we ever find ont any
more comical performances for Tommy

Guiding Lyttleton, left Lexington the

The Car came down the Lexinton

to Cincinnati. At every station along
the line eager crowds focked to the
door to get a sight of the royal racer.
He seemed to comprehend the situa-
ton precisely, and looked at the curl
GUS strangers with a wise look which
only needed the power Of speech to say

Origin of the Small Pox.

The curious theory is pronounced by
a physician in Germany that smallpox
originates from an excess OF albuminous
matter in the blood, and that this is to
be prevented by the administration of
common salt. The habit OF children
indulging over freely in sweetmeats, he
considers one great cause of this undue
development of albumen, and coffee
and tea, if highly sugared, tend also to
excite it IN ADULTS. An organic acid,
such AZ lemon juice, he considers the
best means of freeing the blood when
clogged up with too much albumen;
and he alleges that by taking these sim,
pie remedies, in the way of precaution,
he has, for upwards of twelve years
past, frequented or taken up his abode
in the most pestilential smallpox hos
pitfalls in Europe and South America
with entire impunity.

Terrible Death,
From the Chicago Inter- Ocean.

On Saturday last, at an early hour in

Der, residing with his brother, M. l..
Barber, No 625 West Adams street, was
found hanging with his head caught
fast in q small window or air hole, in

The surroundings showed that the man,
in an affrighted state, for some unac-
countable reason ran his head into the
air hole, and, being unable to extricate
himself, was literally bitten to dealh by
. horse, whose stall was in his rear.
There are many mysterious circum.

The Manufacture of Butter,
london DAILY Noxvu

Perhaps there is no article of food of
which we hear such extraordinary, and
indeed alarming facts, as butter. The
commodity itself, so universally popu-
lar, is supposed to taste almost literally
of Flora and the country green, to be
an honest preparation from the pastoral
diaries. But we are told that London
butter is q triumph. of the wicked
chemistry of adulteration. It has it's
basis in Thames mud at one time, at
another in lard, and it appears that it's
latest origin is horse-fat A confectioner
accused rival in the same business tho
other day of using the last-named ma.
terial instead of butter, and although
the charge was denied, the notice may
render the admirers of confect;oners'
goods uncomfortable. 1t may be,
however, u sort of fanciful accusation
OH tho pant of one sweetstuff dealer
towards another. The horses that are
led from the cabs to the knockers would
not furnish very much of the raw NIT
terial mentioned in the transaction to
which We have referred. Our best
safeguard from the horse-fat butter lies
in the"si mple fact that no fat horses
are killed.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Ecrt1lizimu Caprm.


Here is a hint to corn.growers of
some value:
''An intelligent and reliable farmer,
who had been for many years making
experiments with corn, has discovered
M importance and value in replanted
corn which is quite novel and worthy
of publication. We have always
thought replanted corn was of little
consequence; he plants whether it is
needed or motor rather he plants two
or three weeks after crops are planted,
about every fifteenth row each way.
He says if the weather becomes dry
during the filling time, the silk and
tassel, both become dry and dead.
In this condition, if it should become
seasonnble, tho silk revivcs and rcncws,
but the tnsscl does not recover. Thus,
for the want of pollen, the now silk is
unable t. fill the Office for which, it was
designated. The pollen from the re-
planted-corn is then ready to supply
the silk, and the filling is completed.
He says nearly all the abortive ears, SO
common to the corn crop, are caused
by want of pollen, and that he has
known ears to double their size in the
double filing"
To Make y Sheep Own q Lamb.
A correspondent of tho Maine Far
mer, writes: Sometimes it is desirable
to make one sheep own the lamb Of
another, but often it is difficult task.
An experiment that we tried few days
since proved perfect success, and was
easily conducted; and for the benefit
Of those similarly situated we commu-
nicate it to your columns. One Of orr
sheep lost her lamb. In few days II
yearliug dropped lamb which she did
not own, and in fact had no milk for it.
We took the lamb Immediately after it
was dropped and sprinklcd it with fine
salt and placed it with the sheep that
had lost her lamb. As soon as she
tasted the salt she commenced licking
the lamb, and in short time was as
fond of it as she was of her own. She
is now taking the greatest care of her
adopted charge.
To Suiduc u Kicking Horse.
Take half-inch rope that has been
stretched until it CANE OF be stretched
any more tie around the horse about
six inches back of the pad and belly
band of the harness. Insert short
stick and twist it up nearly as tight as
the rope will bear without breaking,
and tie the stick 80 that it will stay
Tie the horse in stall where there is
room behind him to WELD long lash
whip, and there whip him around the
hind legs very severely. It the second
or third blow he will generally kick
with both feet with all his might. If
he has been in the habit of kicking in
the harness, drive him with the rope
on two weeks or until he quits making
any threats. Some will kick once or
twice with one foot, and bob up and
threaten for several days. They should
be tickled, or leased, or have q basket
thrown under them, or tin pail tied
to one hind foot, to make them try it,
several times every day. After being dri-
vcna half hour they will shrink, so that
the:rope should be frightened.
