seriously nterferred with the operations of
farmers in this locality who are endeavorng to
get in their wheat crops. They have been de-
layed in getting their ground ploughed and pre-
pared for the reception of the seed, and the con.
sequence is that large portion of the crop will
be late and perhaps some farmers may fail to
get all the wheat in that they would otherwise
have done.

A Mouse Afflicted With
SMALLPOX. ag

On Friday evening lady en-,
tered the drug store of DR.. Ed
ward Lindridge, on Hudson ave.
nue., near Sands street, Brooklyn,
and placed live mouse on the
counter. The little animal had a
very sore head, and the doctor
was asked whether he knew what
the matter was. He was also in
formed that it had been brought
from the tenement house 156
Hudson avenue, near York street,
where there have been several cas-
es of ofsmall-pox. After examining
the mouse he found that it was
covered With sores. He sprinkled
some disinftcting powder over it,
and in a short time it died. 1t
was then dissected, and aqclear
case of smallpox in its worstform
was revealed. The remains were.
inclosed in a glass jar, and are to,
be sent to the hospital for further
examination, as it is believed to,
be the first case of the kind ever
heard of.--Neao York; Standard.

The Colfax Keg.

A correspondent of the Fort
Wayne Sentinel is responsible Tor
the following story: 1t seems
that one of the Southern carpet
taggers came across some delicious
Robinson county whisky-some
that had been made duling the
war, buried, and accumulated
dust on the outside and deli
cious crust on the inside. A few
choice kegs constituted the whole
lot, and it is not surprising that
an enterplising carpet-bagger
should buy it all. When he
reached Washington he sent a
keg to the White House, with his
compliments, and another to AIr.
Col!ax, his card attached. The
latter sent back a note of declina-
tion in rather pointed terms, but
not the whisky. The enterpris-
ing carpet bagger replied in a meek
spirit, saying that he had under
stood it to be excellent for rheu-
matism, but, if Mr.. Colfax could
make no use of it he might send
it over to the White House, where
it seemed to meet with proper

A Man who was a Little
Crazy about Tobacco.

A very beautiful character has.
it seems, lately passed away in
Holland. Mr.. Klaes, known by
tile name ofAthefKhig ofSSniokes,
died the other day in Rotterdam.
Mr.. Klaes had, according to, Bel
gian papers, amassed a large for
tune in the linen trade, and one
portion Of q mansion he had erec-
ted near Rotterdam was devoted
to the arrangement of the collec-
tion Of pipes, according toatheir
nationality and Chronological or
der By his will, which was ex-
ecuted shortly before bis death,
he directed thatIall the slnokersgof
the country should be invited to
his funeral, and that each should
be presented with 310a lbs. of TO-
bacco and two Dutch pipes of the
newest fashion, gon which should
be engraved the name, arms and
date.of} the 9deceaseI off the'Stesta-
tor. His relatives. friends and
funeral guests were strictly en-
Joined to keep their-pipes alight
during the funeral ceremony, and
afterwards. TO empty the ashes from
their pipes ON the coffin. The
poor Ct the neighborhood who at
tended to his last wishes were to
receive annually on the anniver-
sary of his death 10 Tbs. of tobac-
CO and small cask of good beer.
He further directed that his oak
coffin should be lined with the ce.
dar of his old Havana cigar boxes,
and that box of French caporal
and packet of old Dutch tobacco
should be plaeed|atlthe,foot Of his
coffin. His favorite pipe was to
be placed at his side, with box
of matches, flint and steel, and
some tinder- forsas he truly said,
there is no knowing what might
happen. 1t has been calculated
that the deceased gentleman du-
ring his eighty years Of life
smoked more than four tons of TO
baccoand had drank about500, 900
quarts of beer. Itissad TO re
fleet that one evidently possessed
of such noble qualities should
have been thus 'Prematurel5 cat !

doubtless owingto his unfortunate
indulgence in pernicious habit.

A story is told of a farmer in
a neighboring State who was in.
duced to try a few bags of guano
at S60a ton. He hauled it home
and dumped it in the cellar iii
some way without perceiving
the odor. The next morning he
awoke and searched the premi-
ses for dead hogs, but being able
to discover none returned to find
his wife with the camphor bot
tie at her nose striving to pre-
pare breakfast under difficulties,
and who in a manner more en-
phatic than polite ordered him
to take "those nasty bags out
of there insanity" He obeyed.
The guano at once found its
way into neighboring ditch in
stead of the corn field, while our
hero rent the air with impreca-
tions, not to be berepeated, against
the rascally merchant who 'sold
him split mule meat for fertil-
izer." 1t is supposed the odor
of the guano was intensified by
the heat from his wife's cooking
stove.

MAKING SAND PAPER.-The
american Builder gives the follow.
ing simple directions for making
sand paper, which will be both in
teresting and useful for the wood
worker: Sand paper forms one of
the most important items Of eX-
pense with the carpenter who has
any fine work to do, and since, as
a rule, buys instead Of manufac.
turing this material, a knowledge
ofthe means by which he can pro-
duce sand paper ola superior quail.
ty, at almost. a nominal cost, must
prove Of value. The device for
making it is simple and at hand
to any one who has occasion to
use the paper. A quantity of
ordinary window glass is taken
that having very green color is
said to be best--and pounded fine,
after which it is poured through
one or more sieves of different de-
grees of fneness, to secure the
glass for coarse or fine paper.
Then any tough paper is covered
evenly with glue having about
one-third more water than is gen.
orally employed for woodwork.
The glass is sifted upon the paper,
allowed day or two in which to
become fixed in the glue, when
the refuse glass is shaken of and
the paper is fit for use. This
sand paper costs little and is better
than that ordinarily bought, in
which sand is frequently mingled
with the glass. The suggestion
here made is certainly worthy of
note.

oBelshazzar Smith had a very
bad land very dangerous habit of
walking in his sleep. His family
feared. that, during some one of
his somnambuliStic sauntering. he
would charge out Of the window
and kill himself; SO they persuad-
ed him to sleep with his little
brother William, and to tie one
end of rope around his body,
and the other end around the
waist Of little William.
The very first night after this
arrangement was made, Belshaz-
zar dreamed that a burglar was
pursuing him with a dagger. So
be crept over to Williams side of
the bed, stepped over Williams
slumberiDg form, jumped out On
the floor, and slid under the bed.
He stayed there awhile, fast a.
sleep; and then, his nightmare
having changed, be emerged upon
the other side of the bed, and got
Under the covers in his old place.
The rope it will be observed, was
beneath the bed, and it was taut,
too. Early in the morning. Bel
shazzar, about half awake, ,scrouged
over against William. To his
surprise, The movement je.ked
William clear out Of bed.
% Belshazzar leaped out to ascer-
tainthe cause of the phenomenon,
and atthe same time his brother
disappeared under the bed. Bel
shazzar, hardly yet awake, was
scared, and he dived beneath the
bedstead as he did so, he heard
William skirmishing across the
blankets, above his head. Once
more he rushed out, just in time
to perceive William glide over the
oiher side. Belshakzar Just then
became sufficiently conscious to
feela the rope pulling him. He
cornprehended the situation at
once, and disengaged himself.-I
And perhaps little William was
not mad He was in the hospital,
undergoing rep firs, for about three
week., and when be came out he
had a strange desire to. sleep a.
lone. BeIshazzar anchors himself

A Danbury, Conn.,, gentleman
came hcme late one night. His
wife, who was in bed, heard an
unusual noise below, and going
down found her lord on bis knees
in front of her best set of furs. He
had a gun in his hand, and look
of intense anxiety upon bis face.

hastily exclaimed "Shesh, O'e
