THE BOYS NEST, Several years
ago, farmer in the State Of New York
sent his son Rollin to drag newly
pIoughed field He was to drive young
ox-team, and the father in quite pomp-
Gus manner said, Now, hoy, to drive
this team you must be man to-day, and
keep out of boylsh scrapeS; then you
viii get along well enougl. Now remem-
Der, no boys play with this team Rolin
said he would do as well as ne could, and
started for his work. After the farmer
had looNed to other matters on the farm,
and assured himself that all was NOV
ing along properly, he started for the
field to look after the team. Now Rol-
In had done well, and everything had
gone along nicely until just as the farm
er reached the corner of the field, when
the drag caught in an old stump, tearing
a part of it off, and bringing out an ac-
tive nest Of yellow jackets. When the
farmer came in sight, what was his as
constituent and vexation, to see the oxen
kicking, and jumping and plugging
ahead, and Rolln, apparently initiating
/ tuelT movements. - here, bOE, what
are you doing there ?" SC canned the farm
er in no very gentle manner. 81" guess
we're in hornets nest answered the
frantic Rolin. :" La boys nest, | guess
Here, give me that whip" said the en-
ragged father. { and I'll see what this
hornets nest amounts to-" So away he
started after the frightened team, intent
upon hastily bringing order out of confus-
ion. He had gone but few steps how
ever, when the hornets met him, and he
evidently forgot the team, and all former
intentions, threw away his whip, and to
all appearance became absorbed IN the one
idea OF dancing a jig at the same time fu-
riously slapplng MS unoffending trousers
and now and then his ears, in most fran
tic and shocking manner. RollIn. wht
had found peaceful quarters over the
fence, now shouted back, L" How do YOU
like a boys nest father?' Rolin i
now man, and the farmer is bowe(
down with the weight of over four scor
years, yet he laughs IN very quiet, bu
amused way, whenever Roiln refers hin

AMERICAN FARMERs.-The Artizan says :
We haz I'D the assertion that no class of
equal average Emeans live SO well as Ameri-
can farmers One of these possessing a
farm and buildings worth ten thousand dol
lars, will gather about him and enjoy more
real com i0rt than could be obtained from
the income of a hundred thousand dollars in
New York. He may live in more commo-
dIous dwelling than metropolitan citizen
having ten thousand dollars annual income.
lie may have the carriage and horses. His
table may be supplied with everything fresh
in its season. HIS labor is less wearing than
the toll of the counting room and Offices,
and he has more leisure.

WHAT TO DO WHEN FRosT- BITTEN.

w HAT TO Do WHEN FROST BITTEN.-
Prostitute is the result of blood becoming
SO cold as not to circulate When limb
or any part of the body is frozen it loses
all senslbIlity and the skin becomes white :;
as soon as this is noticed, rub it gently
with snow the next best is ice water, for
that is slightly warmer than the frozen
part and thus changes the temperature by
very slow degrees keep it in cold water
until the feeling returns and for two or
three minutes later, then add a little warm
water and in two or three minutes little
more, rubbing the part gently with the
hands so as to promote the circulation,
Ii a person seems to be nearly frozen
to death, remove all the clothing and
cover the whole person, excepting the
mouth and nose, in snow if this can not
be had, use ice water containing Jumps
of ice after remaining few moments,
long enough to have some sensibility, take
out the body and wipe it with cloths dip
ped in cold water until the muscles begin
| to relax, then remove to cold bed, cover
the body over and with the warm hands
under the cover patiently rub the whole
surface, for hours if necessary two or
three persons might be rubbing at the
same time, in order to get up circulation.
If signs of life appear, give an injection of
camphor water and put few drops of
spirits of camphor on the tongue. As
soon as the person can notice things, give
teaspoonful of strong tea or coffee, and
after while give half a cup hot, at time
not only parents, but all young perso ms
ought to know these things. Two winters
ago, young gentleman advised young
lady, who was returning from skating
with feet benumbed with cold, to put
them in warm water as soon as she re-
turned home she did so to one foot.

THE APPLE TREE.-A young apple tree
was covered with blossoms. The children
of the house before which 1t stood came to
play beside it. They looked up, among
the delicate blossoms and said, " How
beautiful - A poor, lame child was
brought in her mothers arms and placed
beneath the spreading boughs. She clap
ped her little hands and laughed with glee.
The beauty made her very happy.
Two or three days passed. A strong
wind arose, and when Its strength was
spent, the beauty was gone. Where the
sweet blossoms had been, there were only
few green leaves to hide the unsightly
boughs. The children who had played be-
side the tree looked sad when they saw it
standing so bare. The little lame child
shed tears when her mother brought her
to it again. She thought 1t was dead.
In few days, little green lunches be-
gan to swell where the pale-tlnted blossoms
had been. They grew larger and larger,
and SO did the leaves. When autumn
came, the tree was beautiful to behold
Ruddy fruit weighed down its branches,
and showed among its thick green leaves
All who passed by admired it. They
praised the beauty and abundance of its
fruit.
The little lame child was brought again
and placed under the tree. Her mother
plucked some of the fruit and gave it to
her, and the poor little thing sang for JOY
She had wept when she saw the lovely
blossoms lying on the ground. If they
had not fallen, there would have been nc
fruit. The strong winds did not harm the
tree.
The winds Of adversely sweep over oul
souls, and scatter their tairest blossoms o.
hope. But the blossoms fall that We may
bring forth much truit-patience, faith anC

FLOUR WITHOUT GRINDNG.-A revolution
is soon likely to take place in the process of
-four making. 1t has just been started in
England. The grain is crushed by numer-
GUS little trip hammers, attached to the
profer machinery to produce the results
d, sired. The new machinery is very cheap,
and does up its work In scientific manner.
| he -four prodiced is said to be far superb IF
to that obtained by grinding. A pounding
mill costing $1,000 will produce as much
-four every day as an oid-fashloned mill
costing $4,000. The new mill is very simple.
w en- a hammer Is out of order it can be re-
placed for few cents.

HABITS OF REAprNG.-All young people
read good deal now but | do not see
that a great deal comes of it. They think
they have to read good many ne spa
pers, and good many magazines. They
are very entertaining. But it is not al
ways certain that the reader gets from
them just what he reads. On the other
hand, lit is certain that people who only read
the current newspapers and magazines
get very little good from each others
society, because they are all fed with just
the same intellectual food. You hear
them repeat to each other the things they
have all read in the Daily Trumpet or the
Saturday Wooipecker. see no objection,
however, to light reading, desultory read
ing, the reading of newspapers, or the
reading of fction,-if you take enough
ballast with it, SO that the light kites, as
the sailors call them, may not carry
your ship over in some sudden gale. The
principle of sound habits OF reading, if re-
duced to precise rule, comes out thus
that for each hour Of light readlng-ot
what we read for amusement-we ought
to take another hour of reading for IN
structlon or Improvement. Nor have |
any objection to stating the same rule
backward, for that is poor rule that will
not work both ways. 1t is, think, true
that. for every hour we give to grave
reading, it is we'll to give corresponding
hour to what is light and amusing. Now
great deal more is possible under this
rate than you boys and grs think at first.

BIRDS THAT SING TUNEs-Would you
not think it strange to hear robin whs-
tie " Yankee Doodle" or a lark soar up
ward with a sweet hymn tune warbling up
from her throat? But birds can be taught
to sing tines. There is town in France,
| think, where the business of teaching
birds is quite extensively carried on They
have regular music schools for them. They
must be taken very young, or they cannot
be taught. The little things are placed in
classes of six or eight, and then, when
they get quite hungry, food is given them,
and at the same time a little organ plays
the tune they are to learn. BY degrees
they come to connect their food with this
tune, and when they get hungry they
will chirp note or two OF it. This is
rewarded by food, and by being brought
out into Light, pleasant room, from the
dark one where they are at first kept, they
soon grow more lively, and sing more and
more until they know their whole tune
They are then taken in charge by little
boys Of the town, who make business oil
teaching birds, and are taught severa
tunes. In nine months this education is
pronounced finished, and they are taken te
the large towns for sale, where they
usually command good price.
1t is no uncommon thing for birds to
teach themselves new notes quite fferen
from their own. A tame crow, owned by
gentleman, had been brought up with the
chickens, and as his little adopted broth
ers began to try their powers of Growing
he concluded to do the same. The re
suit was the crow outcrowed them all. HI
was so proud of his accomplishm tina
he was given to practicing it at all hour
of the day, to the great surprise and amlse
ment of strangers who passed that way
