only methods suggested by this scien-

abandon The crops and starve out the

How He Lost the OppoytuniIy.

A useful hint to many young men
may be derived from this little story
which the Springfield Mass Union
prints :" Not long ago a young man
of this city had a most favorable op-
portunity to enter business house in
this state, at large increase over his
present salary, with prospect of soon
getting place in the firm. His recon-
mendations were first class, and the
officers of the institution were decided
ly pleased with his appearance They,
however, made him no proposals, nor
did they state their favorable impress
sions. A gentleman of this city was
requested to ascertain where the young
man spent his evenings, and what class
of young men were his associates. 1t
was found that he spent several nights
of the week In a billiard-room on Main
street, and Sunday afternoon drove a
hired span into the country with three
other young men. Heis wondering WHY
he didn't hear from the house concern
ing that coveted position.

An IIneXnpcteI Answer.

The ST. Louis Democrat relates the
following:
During the progress Of the trial OF
the case of Widow Matthews against
the Elevator Company, in the Circuit
Court yesterday, Col. Stay counsel
for the defendant, conceived the idea
that one Murphy, witness for the
plaintiff, was a sutton for the hand OF
the widow, aud on the eve of leading
her to the altar Getting Murphy OF
the stand, the lawyer endeavored to
bring this fact before the jury, and
this was the upshot Of the examination
6 Mr.. Murphy, are you any relation
OF the plaintiff
No, sir, [ am not
Don't you expect to be-"
''Such Il thing might happen"
Now, are you not going to marry
her?"
Pm afraid not"
You are afraid you won't, ell
Well, now, don't you expect to marry
her !"
eff my wife should die, and the
widow remain single till then, such Il
thing might happen
The jurors and spectators burst into
roar of laughter, and Murphy chuckled
at the cunning manner in which he had
drawn the lawyer on. The Colonel has,
nothing more to say on the matrimonial
question.

Ants in Zanzihar.

traveller in Zanzibar describes the
red aud black ants as one of the great
est scourges with which Eastern Africa
Is afflicted. These insects, he saws,
move along the roads in masses so
dense that beasts of burden refuse to
step among them. If the traveller
should fail to see them coming in time
to make his escape, he soon finds them
swarmlng about his person. Some
times, too, they ascend the trees and
drop upon the wayfarer. The natives
call them n7ddjnodo, that is, boiling
water, to signify the scalding sensation
produced by their bite These ants
are of great size, and burrow so deep
III the flesh that it is not easy to pick
them out. In certain forests they are
SAID to exist In such numbers as to be
able to destroy rats and lizards.

seems to be that all persons about

as late as the LIST of November, but
they were few and at long intervals.
There we're cases of yellow fever as

Mr.. James H. Lawler, who died Oct.

Hop PaUer,

Not great many years ago, it was
the popular idea that paper could only
be manufactured from rags; now it Is
difficult to name all the materials from
which it can be made. In addition to the
various materials now in use, new
one has just beeu discovered which
combines cheapness with elegance
and which, from its abundance aud
ease of production, will have the eff
feet of largely reducing the price OF
good poper. 1t is the outer skin or
husk of the hop stalk. By subjecting
this to chemical process there can be
produced textile fabric possessing
strength, suppleness, and delicacy of
texture-the qualities shove all desir-
able in paper making. The invention.
which has been patented, and which
must interest hop-growers as well as
paper makers, was exhibited in ali its
details and results at the recent Gener-
al Assembly of French paper-makers,
and pronounced by the judges all that
the discoverer claimed for it.

Some ten weeks ago Sylvester Cutler,

years old, while driving into a barn on
a loaded wagon, his head came in con

cut on the top of the head The Injury
was so trihlng that for week he paid
no attention to it; but then his face

it erysipelaS and prescribed the usual
remedies. From the face it spread to
the side of the Heck, fiom there to the
left breast, and then to the left arm,
so that taking hold of the skin it could
be completely turned round, and
an injection put in at the wrist could
be seen running to the shoulder. DIR

had worked itself through the whole

IT is strange that boys and young
men do not learn to cut garments or to
make coat, and thus be able TO COM
mand high salary; for it is a we'll
known TACT that good cutters can and
do readily get from 81, 800 to 81, 600 a
year for their services. Allowing that
they will have to spend six months, or
even year, IN learning the art, how
much better 1T will be for them in the
