and the meanness of dishonesty, as
acted out in boys, took hold of me at an
early age. There were two boys who
set up for merchants on small scale.
At first they sold fruit in the market
place Mt Naples. Pedro would turn up
the fair side of a melon and impose an
unsound one on any one who could be
imposed on, such as a child, or GUS
toner who was not very sharp"
"Ah yes He thought that was n
lucky hit.
But Francisco would frankly say so
if he had melon with any defect, and
offer it for lower price. They then
changed their business, and offered
sugar-plums for sale. They provided
themselves with the standard measure,
the price of which was certain small
coin. They were largely patronized by
little folks of small means, and for a
while they had flourishing business I;
but the firm was soon dissolved"
while Francisco gave full and fair
measure, and Pedro seemed TO do the
same, it was found out by the children
were less than Francisco's. 1t seems
that Pedro had put false bottom to
his measure, thus cheating the children
who bought of him every time he made
sale"
How did the business turn out ?"
As you might suppose. When Fran
cisco was well known, he was trusted
and respected when Pedro was well
known, his bench was broken to pieces
by his indignant customers, and he was
hooted from the market"
Z" must say, John, that / feel new
ambition rising in my heart-the ambi-
ton to be exactly honest. Let us go

A Boys Idea OF Heads.

The Young american brings up a
boys composition" on heads, as fol-
lows
Heads are of different shapes and
sizes. They are full of notions. Large
heads do not always hold the most.
Some persons can tell just what person
is by the shape of his head. High heads
are the best kind. Very knowing peo-
pie are called long headed A fellow
that won't stop for anything or anybody
is called hot headed. If he isn't quite
so bright they call him soft-headed if
he won't be coaxed nor turned they call
him pig-headed. Animals have large
heads The heads of fools slant back.
Our heads are all covered with hair, except
bald-heads. There are other kinds of
heads besides our heads. There are
barrel-heads, heads of sermons--and
some ministers used to have fifteen heads
to one sermon pin-heads head of cat
tie, as the farmer calls his cows and
oxen; headwind drum-heads (; cab
bage-heads F; at loggerheads ; come to a
head, like boil heads of chapters
head him off head of the family, and go
ahead--but first be sure you are right.

Difference in Carpeting.

In choosing Brussels carpet, it is
well to remember that there are two
qualities of the article-English body
Brussels and tapestry The difference
between the two is considerable, both in
texture and price. The tapestry Brus-
sells comes in just as desirable colors and
patterns as the other, but the threads or
loops are not fastened on the under side.
This carpet can be distinguished by TAX
ing a piece of the carpet and pulling
one of the threads, when the loops will
come out just like knitting or crotchet.
If carefully used, one of these carpets
will wear well /; but rough sweeping, and
boots or shoes with tacks in them, will
soon cover the floor with strings of diff
ferent colors. In this they show their
vast inferiority to the English body
Brussels, which is far more substantial,
although to the inexperienced it does
not appear any better, or, in truth,
different from tapestry 1t is more de-
sirable than the other for this reason I:
The loops are fastened on the under
side, and therefore cannot be pulled out,
either by drawing the threads or by
pulling at the loops. An excellent plan
is now in vogue of placing Innings un-
derneath the carpets, consisting of two
thicknesses of stout brown paper with
cotton between. These soften the floors
and make the carpets wear better.

The wife of Dan Sutton. residing in
Hancock county, was an unloved wife,
her husband having left his home and
commenced living with disreputable
female. To add, if possible, more tor
ture TO the wife and mothers breast, her
son, John Sutton, went to reside with
his father. who, ut different times, as if
checked by no moral restraint, visited
his home and took much property from
there to the house of his female consort.
William Sutton, who remained with his
mother, procured writ of replevin, and
accompanied by his brother-in-law, Bar
nett, went to the woman's house, and,
taking possession of q horse his father
had taken there, started to return.
William Sutton was fired at by his
father with rifle and now ensued
scene scarcely equaled in the annals OF
frenzied crime or history of meanest
guilt. Having missed his mark, the
father dropped his rifle, and Selling anax,
rushed toward his son-in-law, who vainly
endeavored to avoid the stroke of death.
With an arm nerved by madness the Ak
was buried in the skull of Barnett, who
sank quivering to the ground, dying in
pool of blood. Not yet satisfied with
his awful patchwork, the father en-
deavored to plant the blood-stained Ak
in the head of his son, William Sutton.
In order to save his own life, William
Sutton drew his pistol and fired. With
wild scream the father sprang forward,
the AK dropping from his nerveless hands,
and fell, shot through the heart. John
Sutton, who was living with his father,
seized the dead Barnett's pistol and COM
menced firing on his brother William.
The two brothers-near enough to grasp
each others hand-fought till every load
had been discharged. Having no more
loads they pummeled each other over
the head some time with their pistols,
which they finally dropped and used
their bowie-knives. Thus the two
brothers fought, until from loss of blood
they sank exhausted to the ground.
John Sutton had one of his hands al
most servered from the wrist and his
chin cut off by the knife of his brother
William, who, despite his Sc yere wounds,
managed to escape. At last accounts
John Sutton was thought to be dying.

The Hands,.

In order to preserve the hands soft
and white, they should always be washed
in warm water, with bar soap, and care
fully dried with moderately coarse
towel, being well rubbed every time to
secure a brisk circulation, than which
nothing can be more effectual in pro-
noting transparent and soft surface.
If engaged in any accidental pursuit
which may hurt the color of the hands,
or if they have been exposed to the sun,
a little lemon juice will restore their
Wilderness for time and honey soap Is
proper to wash them with. This can be
purchased at any respectable chemists.
Almond paste is of essential service in
preserving the delicacy of the hands. 1t
is made thus Blanch and beat up four
ounces of bitter almonds add to them
three ounces of almond juice, three
ounces of almond oil, and little weak
spirits of wine. The following is SER
viceable pomade for rubbing the hands,
on retiring TO rest Take two ounces of
sweet almonds beat with three drachms
of spermaceti, put up carefully in rose
water.

shoes.

Shoes are very ill-used articles AL
most everybody is "down on them. "
They are made to tramp about from
morning till night At first, new shoes
resent such treatment, and their soles
cry out within them, or rather speak out,
at every step. They doubtless would
use their tongues if they could, but they
are always tongue-tied But Mt length,
after much ill-usage, shoes grow patient,
and forget to tell their wrong.
Shoes are very short-lived, seldom
lasting year but when old, and no
longer fit for active service, instead of
being allowed to rest in ease and com
fort, they are kicked awey into some
dark corner of the garnet, there to spend
the remainder of their days among dust
and cobwebs.
Leather shoesare made of shoe leather.
Shoes have been used as dwelling houses,
for we have it from Mother Goose's owl
lips that there was an old woman who
lived in shoe"
Shoes have only one toe apiece Some
times they arc copper toes. Shoes otter
have toe-nails that hurt the toes Of the
wearer.
Some shoes have two soles, an innel
sole and an outer sole. Shoes that hav,

A Fresh Subject for Bret Harte.

For some months past there has been
airing his body, figure and long hair in
Kansas City, lounging in open carriages,
ogling the ladies from street corners
and "bucking the tiger in faro banks,
noted desperate known as wild
Bill" William Hickox, Esq, was the
way he signed it, and a pistol shot was
his seal. He had hardly fingers and
toes enough to count the men he had
killed in various frontier brawls, and the
fame of his prowess was great in the
land. A few days since, as we learn
from the Kansas City NeWs, Wild Will
liam departed for Salina, Kansas, where
he was met in o bar-room by Texan
who bad ridden nine hundred miles in
search of him. William had shot the
Texans brother, and havingnow spotted
his man, the avenger out with his der
ringer and "plunked him, as he face
tiously expressed it. After accomplish
ing his purpose, he courteously init
mated that if any gentleman present de-
sired to take hand in this ere game"
he would accommodate him. As all the
spectators declined with thanks, the
Texan bowed blandly and retired with
beaming countenance.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Where do the Best Men Come From .
While the farmer is toiling on, many
times under adverse circumstances, the
bright history of the past tells him
plainly that he is not toiling and living
in vain. The farmers of the United
States have not, as general thing,
wasted their lives in the past, nor will
they in the future, even If they are com
PEELED te raise cheap beef and pork,
and corn ut fifteen cents n bushel.
Many years ago, rs the writer was wind
ing his way IN stage-coach among the
rocks and hills of an Eastern State, the
poverty of the scene was SO impressive
that when the stage stopped to change
horses, we inquired of an Intelligent
looking lady what the farmers raised in
that region. The answer has echoed in
our ears many dark day since. Her
prompt answer was, 1--WE raise Congress-
men and Presidents. And he who is
now pushing out into frontier life, BRAY
ing its hardships, building school
houses, living upon plain fare, has the
consolation of knowing that he is raising
a family of sons and daughters away
from the corrupting influences and vices
which are Staying the rich mans SONS.
Pine not, farmer, that your produce Is
bringing but little in the market, but
improve your farm, plant orchards, SUR
round your homes with all the comforts
at your command, teach your children
honesty and virtue, and the future will
guarantee that you have not been vast
ing your lives. The history of this
country is written all over with the
cheering truth. which no one will dare
to deny, that the best men, and the
noblest specimens of our roll, both men
and women, are the children of the farm
ers, who have struggled through hard
ships, trials, privations, and loneliness,
far removed from the social refinements
of life. What higher and nobler incen-
tives can farmer have to cheer him in
his toll than what history, practical
sense, and justice promise him in the
usefulness and honor of his family.

How To Repair Leaky II oofs.

Melt together in an iron pot two parts,
by weight, of common pitch, and one
part of gutta percha. This forms ho-
mogeneous fluid much more manageable
than gutta percha alone. To repair gut
ters, roofs, or other surfaces, carefully
clean out OF the cracks all earthly mat
tiers slightly warm the edge with a
plumbers soldering iron then pour the
cement in fluid state upon the cracks
while hot, finishing mp by going over
the cement with moderately hot iron,
so as to make good connection and a
smooth Joint. The above will repair
zinc, lead, or iron, and is good cement
for aquariums.

NEW GUNS FOR THE PRUssIAN ARMY
A rumor was current in London few
days ago that the German Government
had given an order to several firms in
Birmingham for the manufacture of
large number of firearms of new pat
tern, and an investigation of the rumor
resulted in its confirmation, and in the
discovery that the order was for not less
than a million stand of arms. 1t is also
ascertained that Prussia has recently
sold to the Viceroy of Egypt large
quantity of the arms she used and cap
tured in the recent war. The guns to
be made at Birmingham are not upon
the needle pattern, and this fact, taken
i'll connection with the sale by Prussia
of this great number of needle-guns to
the Viceroy of Egypt, leads to the belief
that the Germans have become tired of
the needle-gun with which they have
won so many victories.

How 40 Keep Fresh Meat.

Meat is much better for family use
when ut least one week old, in cold
weather The English method for
keeping meat for some time has great
merit. Experts say, hang up quarter
of meat with the cut end up (being the
reverse of the usual way, by the Lego,
and the juice will remain in the meat,
and not run to the cut and dry up by
evaporation. 1t is worth trial, and,
when made, will be continued.

the patient avoids acids, whether in food

has also similar effect in relieving
rheumatism. The heads may be eaten
in the usual way, but tea made from the
