es. At the school we have been
speaking of, learned among other things
the use OF my hands, and, if mistake not,

~ GU would not take advantage of your
skill in the box?" said the Count, grow
ing little pale.
Exactly. Just as you took advantage
OF your skill in the broad-sword with
young BIZ

Would you like little brandy before we
begin? No? Place yourself on guard
then, if you please. When l am done
with you, and you are fit to appear, then
you shall have your revenge-even with
the mall-swords, if you please. At pres
ent, bully-coward-kn ave-take that
and that, and that"
And the why little Anglo Frank was
as good as his word. In less time than ii
takes to write it the big brs ggart was
rendered unpresentable for many long
day The number one caused him to see
fifty suns beaming in the armament with
his right eye; the number two produced
similar phenomenon with his left; the
number three obliged him to swallow a
front tooth, and to observe the ceiling
more attentively than he had hitherto
done. And when two or three other
that's had completely cowed him, and
he threw open the window and called for
help, the strawberry eater took him by the
neck and-well, some other and lower
part, and flung him out of it on the flower
bed below.
That strawberry eater remained a
month at Bordeaux to fulfill his promise
of giving the Count his revenge. But
then, again. the bully met more than his
match. The strawberry eater had had
Angelo for a master, as well as Owen
Swift and after few passes, the Count,
who was too eager to kill his man, felt an
unpleasant sensation in his right Shout
der. The seconds interposed, and there
was an end to the affair. 1t was his last
duel. Some one produced a sketch of
him as he appeared being thrown out of
the hotel window, and ridicule--so awful
to a Frenchman-rid the country of him.
The strawberry eater was alive when the
battle of Alma was fought, and is tn e
only man to whom the above facts are
known who never talks about them.

results may be had with ordinary flower
pots. We prefer to grow hyacinths and
narcissuses singly in pots, but if desired
three may be put into a large pot. Tulips
may 60 three or more in a pot, as may
crocuses and other small bulbs. The OBJ
lection to having several hyacinths in a
pot is that they are apt to flower at differ
ent times, and one will be fading while the
others are just coming on. Where bulbs
are grown in water, in moss, or in sand,
the same precaution must be taken to
keep them in the dark until the roots are
well formed.-American Agriculturist.

On Breaking Dishes.

We are glad to know, says Max Adeler,
that the emperor of China has issued a
decree declaring that if the chief officer of
his household handles dishes so carel ess-
lv as to break them, he shall be killed.
We say we are glad of this, because w.
hope to have the same regulation put into
effect in this country If it is, about two
thousand hired girls will be executed
every week and we may reasonably hope
that the destruction of crockery will be
checked We have stopped it Temporal
rily in our house by having tea-set made
Of wrought iron and painted white.
When a new hired girl comes she drops
the coffee-pot on the floor. Finding with
amazement that it does not break, she
thumps it with a flat-iron, and drops
bricks on it. and goes out and borrows a
sledge-hammer and whacks it; and then
perceiving that it is as good as ever, she
Sits down in front of the coffee-pot and
bursts into tears Then she gives warn
ing, loads up with sugar and beef and
butter for her sick aunt, embeZZles three
or four hem-stiched handkerchiefs and
any odd pillow-cases that are lying
around, and starts for the nearest intelli-
gence office. Max" is certainly very
severe in his remarks about our hired help.
The Associated Press courier who
carried the report of the Modoc execu-
ton from Fort Klamath to the telegraph
station at Jacksonville, Oregon, rode nine
ty-two miles in six hours and ffty-five
minutes, over mountain road of more
than usual roughness, employing only
three well-selected horses for the journey.
The last forty-two miles he accomplished
in exactly two hours, defeating his prin-
cipal competitor by thirty minutes, and
getting control of the wire, which was
necessarily occupied in transmission Of
the Associated Press report until it was
too late to forward any other.

DIR. J. Walkers California Vim
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
MIA, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success Of VINEGAR BIT
TERs" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause Of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life giving principle,
a perfect Renovation and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation Of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter Irritant, Sudorihc, Altera-
tive, and Anti Bilious.

Mercurial Ointment for Guns.

A correspondent from Cleveland, Ohio,
writes to the American Sportsman -
After reading ~. H. DIS" article in the
Sportsman on mercurial ointment as
preventive against rust in gun barrels, l
thought ] would write and tell you my
own experience ON this point | have
used it constantly for twenty years, and l
have never found anything to equal it,
and l believe / have tried everything else,
even that nauseating remedy kerosene oil.
For external application, when hunting in
wet and damp weather, | rub the gun with
piece Of chamois skin, or bit Of any
kind Of cloth, thoroughly saturated with
the ointment, and no matter how bad the
day, do not find trace of rust at night
This should be done daily as it soon rubs
off by handling. 1t is not necessary to
put fresh ointment upon the skin or cloth
at every application, for after it has once
become well saturated it will last long
time before it win need renewing. For
inside use, after the gun has been cleaned
l place the chamois skin over the end Of
my wiper and push il up and down the
baTel'a few times, then put the gun in the
case and leave it until / want to use it
again. | have fine Damascus gun which
have used constantly since the Fall Of
1861, and it is as smooth inside to day as
it was on the day Of purchase, which l
attribute entirely to the proper use ofmer-
curial ointment | have not fired my gun
