Cleveland Herald:
4" An old but unusually thought
tul farmer, residing near enough to
this city to do all bis trading here,
went into his corn field last week
TO hoe his corn, and in order to give
a crow or two a salute should he see
any, strapped his double-barre'led
shot gun on his back. As lie warm
ed up to his work he caused his
loe-handle to circulate with more
than its wonted rapidity about him.
and finally the end Of the hoe
handle hitting the trigger Of the
gI,n, touched It of. The old farmer
felt q gill or two Of shot pass
through his scalp, and supposing
he had been shot BY an assassin iii
the rear, he, though wounded, sciz-
his gun, and wheeling suddenly
around, blazed away at the suppos-
ed shooter He was still more sur

Among those congregated before

Coffee, lost in gazing at the leopard,
failed TO notice that the child had

within, however, was not slow TO

Household Economy.

The N. Y. Standard, meditatipg upon
the same subject, thinks that the great
difficulty in the way is, that few fami'
lies would be willing to practice, in lit.
tie, a. well as in great things, thai
habitual self denial which enters into
the very first idea of housekeeping
economy. For example:
Few women who keep two servants,
and whose state Of health does not
prevent their having a fair average en-
jovment Of life, are willing to do that
extra amount of hard work, which dis.
pensing with one servant would entail
upon them and which they are quite
capable Of doing. Few Of the men
who complain most loudly of the cost
Of living, would consent to indulge in
a less liberal table, or to Danish tol'ac-
co and liquor from their lists of ne
cessitie5." Men and women are pref
ty equally matched in the vices Of ex
%travagance. One sex has no reason
to accus the other of an injurious
monopoly of them.

Some curious experiments have re-.
Gently been made in France to asccr.
tain the effects Of wine, and absin,b.
on fowls. The result was that thew
lost flesh rapidly, more especially those
who drank absinthe. Two months Of
absinthe drinking was found sufficient
to kill the strongest cock or hen. The
fowls who INDUCED in brandy alone
lasted, however, four months and 4
half, while the wine bibbers survive
for ten months. 1t was not only their
health which was affected by alcohol
their personal appearance underwent
an extraordinary change. An immense
development of cocks crests took
place. The crcsts, it is stated, in
creased to four times their Original
size, and assumed a hue of unnatural
brightness-probably on the same
principle that the noses Of confirmed
d lunkards become "preternaturally
large and red.
