How A City han REMOVED A SETTING
HIM. From the Danbury Newsl.-
The city man who goes into the e1un
try to spend the summer must make up
his mind to learn something of the
routine Of rural life. A New York MN
who is spending the hot weather seas
on with family OH Pine street, was
asked by the lady Of the house If lie
would take a hen off the nest, as 1t wan
ted to set, and she didn't want it to.
':Certainly, said he, and immediately
started cut to the larn where the hens
were kept, TO crush out the material
prospects Of this particular one. He
went straight to the nest to lift her of,
| and reached out his hand for that pur
pose, but immediately drew it back
again, and tucked it up under the other
arm, and squeezed it little, while he
drew up bis lips as if about to whistle
something Then be stood there and
stared at the hen, and she lifted up her
head and stared back at him, winking
her eyes with singular valocity.. s:Get
off, won't you?" said he, after q pause.
She made no response He drew out
his hand and looked at the red spot on
one Of the knuokles, and then put the
knuckle i'll his mouth to cool it, looking
all the while at the hen, and wondering
how on earth she moved so quickly.
The longer he eyed her the less inclin-
ed he felt to touch her, and finally he
climbed up a post to a beam which ran
over the nest and working his way cut
out on it till he got just above the hen,
took OF his hat and shook ii at her. and
advised her to get. But she only look
ed up at him. one eye at a time, and
clicked ominouslv. He told her if she
didn't leave he would come down there
| and kick her through the barn, but ina
mediateIy gave up the blood-thirsty de-
sign when he reflected that it was a
dumb animal, and couldn't reason like
a human being. Then he happened to
think of his pants, which We're white
linen, and rubbed his fingers on the
beam to find them full OF black dust,
which led him 70 work his BODY round
to look at the pants, and while making
this very natural movement he sudden
ly slipped, made plunge to renew his
hold, shrieked for help, slipped again,
and then come down ON top of the hen
and the nest, smashing them both to
the floor, upsetting barrel and filing
the air with dust, feathers, hen noises
and shrieks. When the family reached
the barn the unfortunate man, looking
something like circus poster ON tho
legs, had got on his feet, and was turn.

l4A SoMNAMBULa.-Max Adeler, in
the Saturday Eveaai,eg Post; says that
Mortimer }. Loomis is now one of the
most violent of the denunciators of
railroad monopolies Since. his last adj
venture on the cars he hates the rail-
roads worse than an Arrapahoe In
dian hates a.bald-headed Presbyterian.
LOOMS has fits Of sonnambulism oo-
casionally, and at such times he has an
uncomfortable tendency to wander into
dangerous places. More than once he
has been surprised upon waking to
find himself roosting on the comb of
the root, or hanging: headforemost
down the well with one leg around the
bucket-handle. He went QUITO Pitts
burgh few days ago, and when he en-
tered the sleeping car the thought
struck him that he might get to prowl-
ing about during the night while asleep
and walk off the platform into better
world. 50 he went to the brakeman
and gave him a dollar, with strict in
structions that if he saw Mortimer J.
LOOMS walking around the car in his
sleep to seize him and force him back
at all hazards. Then Loomis turned in,
and soon his reverberating snore echo
ed the screech of the locomotive.
About 2 O'Clock LOOMS awoke. and 50
the air OF the car seemed sitting, he
determined to go out on the platform
for fresh breath or two. Just as hes
got to the door, that vigIant brakeman
saw hin3 grabbed him, foored him
and held him down. When LOOMS
recovered his breath, he Indignantly
exclaimed: "Y on immortal ass! What
do you mean ssLemme get up. l tell
you L am as wide awake as you are"
But that myrmidon of a grasping cor.
poration put another knee on Loouiiss
breast, and insisted that LOOMS was
asleep; and then he called another
brakeman, and aftera terrific struggle,
during which Loomis received bumps
and blows enohgh to wake an Egyptian
mummy that had been dead for 5000
Years, the railroad man jammed him
i nto berth, put trunk and eight CAL
pet bags on him to hold him down until
morning. The first thing Mr.. LOOMS
asked for when he arrived in Pittsbury
where they cured the temporarily in
sane. He thinks his reason was partial
ly dethroned by his effort to compre-
bend how that brakeman could have
the face to ask him for another dollar
because of the trouble LOOMS gave
him during the night.

1t Is Of great importance that the system should
be in a vigorous condition when the hot weather
commences. The effects of a high temperature
upon an enfeebled frame are always more or less
disastrous. The loss Of substance and the declen-
sion OF nervous power, Occasioned By excessive
heat, can only be compensated by the active,
healthful, and regular exercise Of all the bodily
functions by which the waste of nature Is replen-
ished and the vital energies renewed. The great
utility Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as means
Of toning, invigorating and regulating the organs
Of the body, is universally acknowledged. As
tonic it stimulates the tagging appetite and acce
crates digestion; corrective it neutralizes acid
ty Of the stomach and relieves fiatuency; as an
Alternative and mild aperient it regulates the liver
and the bowels; an anodyne it promotes tran
quill sleep; as a wholesome stimulant it imparts
frmness and elasticity to the relaxed and trem-
bling nerves, and as blood depurent it purifes
the vital stream. The value of such specific to
the weak and debilitated il beyond all estimate.
To invalids wilted down by the sultry heat of mid
summer, it is as refreshing and vitilizing the
cool night dew to the sun-scorched flowers. Com
posed Of vegetable elements only, with basis Of
pure diffusve stimulant, it is safe and paatabe az
well as medicinal. In fever and ague districts and
wherever the natural elements conducive to
epidemic disease, it is considered the best safe
guard against malarious Infection and the speedi-
est remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers.

Destroying Potato Beetles.

Here, in Wisconsin, we have been
obliged to endure the displeasure of his
annual appearance and determined depre-
dations upon our potato vines for the last
seven years, and after throwing away
thousands of dollars worth Of flour
mixed with Paris green, it was discovered
that the green mixed with water was a
great deal cheaper and more effectual in
the work of killing them, inasmuch as it
can be applied at any time Of the day. 1t
is very much more durable ana constant
destroyer than when applied with flour,
as after the dew is off it becomes dry,
and then by little shaking of the vines
by the wind the composition disappears
mostly, and after that the plants are not
materially harmed by the bugs.
My method is, to fill a common-sized
water pail with water, and mix table
spoon even full Of the green, by stirring
we'll, which will give the water deep
green color.
then take part of an old broom Tor a
new one will do), and with that sprinkle
the vines. One pailful suffices for two
rows about twelve rods in length. One
application will suffice for the present
and first future generation. / seldom
have to make more than two applications
during the season. ! will further state
that it is safer to get the green of some
