JUST TAKEN HIS BIrTERs.-We heard
eeedy looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to q BROTH
or soaker that he had "iust had his
bitters, but he did not mind taking
another nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word "bit.
ters" had grown to be synonym for
gin, whiskey, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied in
discriminatory. Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic,
not of a poisonous stimulant; some
thing invigorating to the system, not
an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil,
producing present intoxication and ul-
innate insanity, idiocy, or premature
death. Moreover, cur idea of bitters
was totally irreconcilable with "gin
cocktails, "''rum punches" and ''bran.
dy smashcs," which, we are informed,
are sweetened with sugar and render
ed doubly injurious with essences col

mentioned this problem to a friend.
He solved it by exclaiming: "Why,

Escape Of a Lion Tanner.

The Braemer Scotland) correspond
ent of the Dundee Advertiser mentions
that a few days ago a menagerie was
exhibited ct that place. During the
last performance of the evening,
LAMBETH, the lion tamer," was in
the cage with the male lion, putting
the animal through the usual exciting
exercise, when he slipped on the flor
and fell, just as "the king of beasts"
was bounding past him. He almost
Immediately regained his footing, and
evidently not moment too soon, for
the fierce brute gave an enraged roar,
and seemed ready to spring upon
him. By accidental contact with the
lions paw his trousers were torn, and
his leg slightly scratched. His COOL
ness was remarkable. Motioning the
assistant, who rushed with a sliding
partition to the cage, to keep back the
lion, he slowly moved to the wicket,
and, before leaving, thanked the audi
ence for their attendance. The affair,
it is stated, produced painful sensa-
ton, which was not lessened by the
apparent rage of the lion, when he saw
that his victim had escaped. In the
fall the performer lost revolver with
which he was armed, the weapon being
subsequently found among the straw.

Rape as y Honey Plant.

H. O. Krusche, Berlin, Wis, writes
the American Bee Journal: AS q
honey producing plant, the rape is
scarcely second to linden, producing a
beautiful golden honey of good flavor,
and is in blossom when nearly every
thing else is out of blossom, commend
ing about the middle of August and
continuing couple of weeks.
2. AS q farm crop, it is as good, if
not better, than wheat. The time for
sowing it is from the middle to the
end of June. This gives time to pre-
pare the soil after other crops are in ::
or if wheat or corn should fail in COM
ing up, rape can be sown in their
places. It is harvested from the mid
die to the last of September, after all
other grain is harvested. It does not
impoverish the soil, but benefits it.
From five to eight bushels more per
acre of wheat are raised on ground
which had rape the previous year. It
allows no weeds to grow after it has
fairly started, growing very dense, and
its leaves completely shade the ground.
therefore it does not suffer from droutb
like other grains.
The seed has good cash market ut
Fond du Lac, Wis, where oil is ex.
tracted from it, and brings from $3.50
to 81 per bushel. From ten to eighteen
bushels is generally produced per acre,
but is oftener over than under this cs.
innate. Two quarts is sufficient to SOW
an acre. Thousan of bushels are an
nually raised in Calumet county, and
it is just us staple crop as wheat.

to Report OF Agriculture for 1870.
