QUITE an exciting time, says reporter OF
the Cleveland Herald, occurred at one of our
wharfs recently.
The hands of one of our steamers engaged
in rolling off cask, when to the surprise
and CONSERVATION of the persons performing
that operation, voice was heard inside the
cask
"Roll it easy; these plaguey nails hurt,
Id rather pay my passage than stand all
this"
Holding up their hands, their eyes ex-
panding to the size Of two saucers, the two
laberers exclaimed
"Ghat beats the dickens!'
The mate coming up at this moment and
unaware of the cause of delay, commenced
scolding them for their dilatorness, when the
voice came forth:
IRE nobody; let me out of this cask "
"W hats that ?" said the mate.
"Why its me, D." said the voice. 81 wan 1T
to get out; won't stand this any longer"
Cup end the cask, said the mate.
ooh don't, you'll kill me, said the voice,
ooh, how these nails prick Look out
don't!" again said the casked-up individual
as the men were turning it over.
Cooper" said The mate, "unhead that
cask and take out that man"
As the adze sundered the hoops, and the
head was coming out, the voice again broke
forth
"Be easy, now; is there any one about
| don't want to be caught"
Quite crowd had gathered round the
scene Of action, when low gulteral laugh
broke forth, which made our hair sand on
end, and the cask was found filled with ba-
con.
"What does that mean p says one.
''lt beats my time" said the mate.

it meant as we walked off, arm in arm will

SENATOR CAssERLY. - Senator Casserly
returned his back pay, under the Salary In
crease Bill to the Treasury. His letter TO
the Treasurer reads as follows:
Sm:-I send herewith, endorsed TO your
order, the proceeds to be paid into the Treas
ury, the draft for this date of the Secretary
of the Senate for 1910 90, received by me
from him as being the full amount coming to
me under the law giving to members of
Congress an increase of back pay. If
add word, it is that what do may not be
construed to the prejudice of others. For
reasons which ! deemed sufficient, voted
against the provisions for the increase of Sd
laries at every stage of them, not excepting
the final stage, the adoption Of the confer
ence report. Those reasons embraced sew
eral objections to the measure, of which that
of the increased back pay was but one.
They had little, if any, reference to the IN
crease of ply in the future. Having so
voted throughout, find it more satisfactory
to myself, personally, to decline the amount
to which | am entitled as increased back
pay. In taking this course, | would not be
understood as rejecting in the least on mem
hers of Congress who see their way clear to
the adoption Of the opposite course, as
many of them are so well known as honora-
bic and disnterested men in their public and
private lie by those who know them best,
rs to make it impossible for me, at least, tc
impugn their motives or deny their good
faith. Very truly,

THE CHAMPION SNORER.

The Salt Lake NeD Endowment tells
about him.
Nearly every cause has its champion.
There is the champion of freedom, the
champion Of religion, the champion of NOR
ality, the champion reformer. the champion
pngilist, and the champion pie-bifer and
now comes the champion snorer, and we
have found him and are entitled to all the
distinction that belongs to the right of dis
covery. 1t was in this way: We had re-
tired for the purpose Of counting the gentle
ministraiions of Morpheus, about 3 oc'ock,
A. NJ, at an hour when somnolent repreve
from the cares incident to state of wake
fulness is ordinarily acceptable, when there
came from the recesses of an adjoining room
Il sound which was cross between The roar
Of ten threshing machines in operation, and
the believing Of the town bull. We at first
thought that one of those huge tornadoes,
common to the Mississippi valley. had
struck the city, land that the walls of the
house were about to succumb 10 its fury
Realizing the situation in few minutes,
however, we bounded out and broke into
our neighbours room, and found it was all

rouse him TO sense of the improperly of
footing his bazoo in such a frighiful manner.
1t was no 60; the more we tried, the louder
he snored. We aroused other dodgers, who
promptly flew to our aid; we tickled bis
feet, pulled his toes, pnched his ears, and
still that sepulchra snore went on. He was
at last turned over on his side; this, appar-
entity, had the desired effect, and we got
back to our room again, but had no more
than struck the pillow, when that noise COM
menced again, this time in much higher
and shriller key. We tried to prevail on
the man who turned him over to 60 and
turn him back in the old notch, which he re-
fused to do, and when we were turning him
over in our mind, which was the next besl
thing for us to do, we fell asleep, and put
in the balance of the night dreaming that
we were attending cat concert, under the
Falls of Niagara. We have found the
champion snorer, and the man that doubts
it, if he will back his opinion, can break us.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Fall Flowing.

Norman Spur thus gives his views upon
this subject in the Duchess Farmer
Another great improvement that seems to
be lost sight of is blowing in the early part
of fall those fields which are intended for
corn the next season and have lain in grass
several years. Some of these advantages are
as follows, and to make sure of all Of them the
land should be plowed before the middle of
September:
|. The land can be plowed cheaper then
than it can in the spring, because the teams
are kept cheaper, and you are not so much
hurried with team work.
2. If the land is all cut up by the pillow and
turned over, which should always be done,
you get rid of all the worms, which eat up n
large share of the corn on such fields, except
the wire-worms.
3. The crop is much easier to take care of
by having the land at planting time as mel
low, light and lively as II field is in Septem-
Der that was plowed in June, as farmers fire.
quently do for rye.
T. You get as much better crop of corn by
preparing the land in that way as YOU do by
preparing the land for rye by summer fallow-
ing.
5. You in this way are always sure that
the land is well cultivated for oats, and will
never need to plant the field two seasons to
so VIZ ANU oupuucu, anu OHly ScJ aDOul one
large crop.
g. If you intend to spread manure over
those fields, it smuch better to have the land
plowed first, and then let manure be left on
the surface, or narrowed when you harrow
before planting.
I. 1t is wonderful sight easier and pleas
anter to let the land grow mellow itself, by
letting those old grass roots rot and die on
their own hook and at their own expense,
than 1T is for you to pillow, harrow and hoe,
and hurry their decay in Il shorter length of
time
5. 1t is much easier to kill all those crubs
by blowing the land so that they never get
there, than it Is to be digging them out of the
corn and replanting all the fore part OF the
season.
9. 1t makes farmer feel more cheerful to
see every kernel of corn he plants growing
vigorously and hcalthily, unmolested by
those grubs than he can be after they have
eaten one-half and arc making vigorous
charge for the rest.
10. II the second and third paintings get
ripe, there is no danger Of soft corn among
the first planted, and then the land is ready to
seed one year earlier.
Now all the objections know Of are these
|. You lose little feed in both fall and
spring which you get. o If you manure the
field, it is harded work for the team to haul
it after the land is plowed, unless you leave
roads for that purpose. Now if these two oh.
SECTIONS are "a majority over the other ten adj.
vantagcs, then let your stiff old swarded
ands lay till late the next spring, and then
raise corn and worms together, till ono over,

CHAPPED HANDs-Takc common starch,
and grind it with a knife until it is reduced
to the smoothest powder, put it in clean tin
box, so as to have 1t continually at hand for
use. Then, every time that the hands are
taken from the suds or dish-water rinse them
thoroughly in clear water, wipe them, and
while they are yet damp, rub pinch of the
starch thoroughly over them, covering the
whole surface. The effect is magical The

The culinary art can be well employed on
these acidulated berries, as any housekecpcr
who tries these directions will find. Only
one hint to the ladies may be necessary in
this connection, and that is, buy only red
cranberries. They alone are ripe, and a few
white berries, with their bitter acid, will as
eifectually dcmoralize II dish of sauce as, &C,
cording to Josh Billings, one enthusiastic
hornet will disperse a camp meeting.
Remove all defective berries, and wash the
rest through several waters. To every pound
of fruit add pound OF sugar. Put them into
preserving kettle over a fire. stew slowly
To prevent the berries from sticking to the
kettle stir them frequently with silver spoon.
When done, turn them into deep dish, and
set them aside to cool; after which they may
be used for pies, tarts, or sauce.
For lSauce.--When for sauce mash them
fine through culender, and put them into
small moulds suitable for the table, having
rinscd the moulds to prevent the berries from
sticking.
For Jelly-To quart Of water add four
quarts of fruit, and when the berries become
very soft by stcwing, strain the juice through
a bag, and put pound Of fine white sugar
to every pint Of the liquid, Pour tho juice
into a porcelain lined kettle, and boil and
skim 1t until the jelly is produced. Test this
by occasionally dropping a spoonful Of the
