A Wonderful EScape.

A really wonderful escape from being
cut to pieces occurred on an English
line of railway, a week or two ago. A
young man employed by the London
and Northeastern Company as coke
filler at certain station, was returning
home from work, when he jumped upon
the step Of passing goods train, to
ride to a certain crossing, few hundred
yards southwark In the darkness he
was unobseryed by the driver, who,
therefore did not slacken for him to
get down, and thus, owing TO the I'M
petus of the engine, he was not able to
bring up, when he leaped of
until he had run into the -four feet of
the next line Of rails. Scarcely had his
foot touched the ground, when the
down train came up at speed OF fully
twelve miles an hour, and before he
could escape he was struck by the
front of the engine and thrown face
downward between the rails, where he
lay until the entire train in which
there were nearly a score pair of wheels
passed over his PROSTATE body with
ont touching it, Beyond few slight
bruises and scratches, he found himself
little the worse Tor his hair-breadth

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
The squirrel and the Nightingale

The Nightingale one happy morn in spring
Upon hawthorn bough was singing brightly.
When Gu "A sudden she did cease 10 slug,
And bending to the Squirrel. quite politely
Asked him for one sweet nut-(she did not say
She meant the sweeter worm that III il layD
The Squirrel would not grant the Nightingale
Her wish, nor for refusing give true reason,
But said her pretty song could not ava J.
For nuts in early spring were not in season.
@, naughty Bun! He knew that in his store
He had a hundred nuts, and many more.
Full fifty notes she gave him in one trill
OF rarest music, yet he would not bring her
one single nut but sat demurely still
And said :-"My nuts would spoil the sweetest
singer;
! would not mar my Niehtingae's soft strain
For all the wealth my nimbl toll could gain.
All, me So plausible Buns reply,
1t might have gained hlm credit for pohteness
Had not an aged Weasel standing by
Heard the discourse, and with Weascls bright
ness,
Seeing the plain truth, said =" You greedy elf
You mean to eat your whole great hoard yourself ~
The Squirrels russell cheek grew red with shame,
His hushy tail began to swell and tremhle,
While to his little mind this moral came:

And should never selfish craft employ
To keep from others what ourselves enjoy.
'Henceforth viii be frank and kind and true;
My sweetest nuts III give to every conner;
I'll mediate the next long winter through
How can kinder be the following summer =
And Men and Weasels, in their sharpest mood,
Shall nothing say of me but what is goodl"

The Age of OYSTERS.

An oysterman can tell the age of hi
valves to nicely. This is not done,
however, bylooklng them in the mouth,
but simply by counting the successive
layers or plates overlapping each other,
of which an oyster shell is composed.
These are technically termed "shoots, ="
and each of them marks a years
growth. Up to the time of the ma
turity of the oyster these shoots are
regular and successive, but after that
time they become irregular, and are
piled one over the other, so that the
shell becomes more thickened and
bulky. Judging from the size and
thickness which some shells attain,
this mollnsk is capable of attaining a
patriarchal longevity, and m oyster
with fifty or even three score years
upon its back may, by chance be met
with. They are in perfection when
from five to seven years old.

Points for Swine Raising.

The following is the substance of the
report of the Illinois State Swine
Breeders Association;
|. The lower the price of pork the
greater the need for growing those
breeds from which the product can be
most cheaply made. Depreciation in
prices should be met by greater effort
to improve the stock.
?. To avoid possible deterioration
it is best to preserve the distinct breeds
pure.
3. Before faTowing, give sows such
food as Will incite the secretion of milk.
After narrowing, feed lightly at first
increasing the quantity carefully UP to
full supply. Teach the pigs to eat as
soon as possible.
4. After weaving, the pigs should
have the best care Milk, with oats
and corn ground together, is excellent
food in proper quantity. Plenty of ex-
ercise is indispensable to health.
D. Market at nine to fourteen months
old for profit.
6. 1t was not thought best to en-
courage the breeding of pure bred
dlluldlS loi ScjtIdl poih-llldhIllS lildl
is, it Is not necessary to confine it to
any one pure breed to insure success,
but that the mixing of pure breeds for
this purpose has in the main given very
satisfactory results.
7. Ground or cooked food will, per
pound, make more pork than unground
or uncooked; but it does not follow
that, under all circumstances, it is most
profitable to grind or cook it. This
will depend on the price of grain, the
expense of grinding and cooking and
the cost of feeding Each farmer must
decide the question for himself and 10y
his own surroundings 1t is better to
shell and soak corn than to feed it in
the ear.
S. Most diseases among animals are
attributable to want of judgement and
care in their management. All rem
idies for diseases which prevailed IN
1871, failed. Kill the sick hogs and
find out, if possible, why they became
so, and then apply the remedy to the
cause. The style of architecture, al
though to be regarded, is not the most
important feature of piggery. 4 pen
well covered with coarse, wild hay, and
kept clean, where the pigs are regular.
~ fed and watered, is all that is indis-
pensable to success.

and one of his gentlemen friends run
ming Mt each other in that way
If they think white people are witch
es, they are even worse IN their treat
ment of very fat men. A story is told
of one who was travelling through the
country. The delighted natives would
not be convinced that such a wonder
fully fat man was not God, and rs they
needed rain, they insisted on his pro
ducing it. When the unhappy man
could not do it-as of course he
couldn't-they were so angry, they
were about to kill him, but luckily for
HIM, ram came on and saved his life
Even the animals of this country
don't eat like other animals. One OF
them, the fist, kind of wolf, steals up
to man when asleep, and snatches a
mouthful from the face 1t doesn't kill
him, but makes horrible looking
face.

Tclegrapliic Errors.

produced by the omission of the letter

Not long since gentleman telegraph

graph reached its destination when it
read thus: Sarah and litter all doing
well. The recipient telegraphed back
the following startling enquiry -
"For heavens sake how many has she
gotl'
Another time, gentleman sent a
despatch to call upon a third party IN
relation to some commercial transac-
ton His despatch was intended to
read thus &c Call at the Post-oilice

the Post Office and enquired II there

covered the error after being well
laughed at.

Cows for che Dairy.
The American Rural Home saN

The American Rural Home says:
We believe great mistake will be
made if dairymen should be led away
by the prevailing fashion to favor the
introduction of Jersey blood into their
herds. 1t would result in reducing the
size and feeding qualities, and enfeeb-
ling the constitution, without any cor
responding gain i'll the way of add
honal milking value. True, we might
have a richer milk for buttermaking,
but not for cheese. The milk OF the
Ayrshire COW, though somewhat lack
ing IN richness for butter making, is
full of caseine, and, therefore, valua-
bic to the cheese maker. The finest
and best dairy cows we ever saw were
obtained by a cross of Ayrshire on
first class native cows, followed by II
cross of Short-horn, the result being
COWS having half Short-horn to quar-
ter each of Ayrshire and native. They
were splendid mixers, and always full
of flesh on moderate feeding in winter.

Spring Novelties in Shoes.
The New York Shoe and Leather Re.

The New York Shoe and Leather Re-
porter thus speaks in reference to
spring novelties in shoes
The latest news on fashions for shoes
seems to be not only desirable, but al
most necessity i'll these days, when
new styles are being brought out every
month, 1t is n task of no little difficult
ty for dealers out of large cities to
keep themselves posted in novelties
which are constantly appearing, so that
their orders may include not only the
general style, but also the many pretty
and ingenious devices that go to make
ladies shoes "things of beauty for
ever" The soles are being made broad,
firm and thick, and the heels compare
lively low and wide. An improvement
so much needed, once sanctioned by
the mandate of fashion, and we will
have no more French heel abomina-
tons, with the unavoidable weak, tot
tering gait, but free, elastic step, as
beautiful and graceful as the former
was painful and awkward. There IS
no item of dress, perhaps, that
is SO much criticised us shoes
no item more important, and GER
tainly none where comfort has been
more sacrificed. The practical solution
of the problem, "can ease and beauty
be combined in shoes" has been ac-
complished in n measure this spring
The first innovation noticed is the
Scotch welt walking boots for ladies,
with broad soles projecting about an
eighth of an inch beyond the uppers,
with low, broad heels; a plain shoe,
with no attempt at ornamentation, but
decidedly sensible, and one which in
time no doubt will be adopted uniyer-
sally. A buttoned walking shoe of
pebble goat, strong and supple, will
attract attention by its style of finish.
! The trimming is of pink kid, button
holes in scolloped edge stitched by
hand, heels finished with a row of
highly polished copper tacks, with small
heads, not larger than pins, invisible
ms far as preserving the shape is con
cerned, and greatly adding to the
beauty. 1t is n noticeable fact that
shoes are cut much lower than last sea-
son.
Somewhat after the style of the
"Newport tie y of last summer is gar

A Curious PRAYER.

In the State of Ohio, there resided a
family consisting of an old man by the
name of Beaver, and three sons and
daughter all of whom are hard pets, y
who had often laughed to scorn the add
vice and entreaties Of II pious, though
very eccentric minister, who resided in
the same town. 1t happened one ofthe
boys was bitten by II rattlesnake, and
was expected to die, when the minister
was sent for in great haste. On his
arrival he found the young man very
penitent and anxious to be prayed with:
the minister calling on the family, knelt
down and prayed in this wise =" Oh
Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes 4;
we thank thee because II rattlesnake
has bit him we pray thee send n rat
tlesnake to bite John, send one to bite
Bill, send one to bite Sam and one to
give nip, and, O Lord, send the biggest
kind of rattlesnake to bite the old
man, for nothing but rattlesnakes will
ever bring the Beaver family to repen.
