The bones were taken out OF the collins,

Roast pigs and otherreireshments were

Life in the Country.
An Experience as told by the Dunbur,
News.


The city man who goes into the coun-
try to spend the summer must mako up
his mind to learn something OF the rou-
tine of rural life. A New York man
who is spending the hot weather season
with family on Pine street, was asked
BY the lady OF the house il he would
take hen off the nest, ms it wanted to
set, and she didn't want it to. Seer
tainly," said he, and Immediately start
ed out to the barn where the hens were
kept, to crush out the maternal pros
poets Of this particular ono. He went
straight to the nest to lift her of, and
reached out his hand for that purpose,
but Immediately drew it back again,
and tucked It up under the other arm,
and squeezed it little, whilO he drew
up his lips MS IL about to whistle some
thing. Then he stood there and stared
ut the hen. and she lifted up her head,
and stared back ut him, winking her
eyes with singular velocity. "Get of,
won't your" said he, after q pause.
She made no response. He drew out
his hand and looked ut red spot on
cne Of the knuckles, and then put the
knuckle in his mouth to cool II, looking
all the while at the hon, and wondering
how on earth she moved SO quickly.
Tho longer he eyed her, the less inclined
he felt to touch her, mud finally he
climbed up post TO beam which ran
over the nest, and working his way out
on IL till he got Just above the hen, took
off his hat and shook It at her, and ad-
yised her to get. But she only looked
up. lat him, one eye ut time, and cluck-
ed omniously. He told her II she
didn't leave he would come down there
and kick her through the barn, but i'm.
mediately gave up tho blood.thirsty
design when he reflected that It was n
dumb animal, and couldn't reason like
human being. Then he happened to
think OF his pants, which were white
linen, and rubbed his fingers on the
beam to find them full of black dust,
which led him 10 work his body around
to look at the pants, and while making
this very natural move, he suddenly
slipped, made o plunge to renew his
hold, shrieked for help, slipped again,
and then came down on top Of the hen
and the nest, smashing them both to
the floor, upsetting q barrel, and filling
tho mir with dust, feathers, hen noises,
and shrieks. When the family reached
the barn, the unfortunate man, looking
something like circus poster on legs,
had got on his feet, and was turning
around, and rubbing his head in IN ab.
stracted manner, and every timo he
turned, IN omelOtte on white linen base
came to view, while the hen stood up
in the furtheiest corner on ono leg, with
a look of mingled astonishment and
reproach on her countenance. After
five minutes Of Industrious application
with chip, tho gentleman was escort
ed into the house, where his head was
bathed with spirits, and his comfort
generally attended to.

PLAN Talk 10 Girls,

Your every day toilet is q part OF
your character. A girl who looks like
q "iury" or sloven in the morning, is
not to be trusted, however finely she may
look in the evening. No matter how
humble your room may be, there are
eight things 1t should contain, viz: a
mirror, washstand. soap, towel, comb,
hair, nail and tooth brushes. Those are
Just as essential as your breakfast, be.
fore which you should mako good aud
free use Of them. Parents who fail to
provide their children with such appli.
nnces, not only make great mistake,
but commit q sin Of omission. Look
tidy in the morning, and after the din.
ner work is over, improve your toilet.
Make II n rule Of your daily life to
"dress up" for tho afternoon. Your
dress may, or need not be, anything
better than calico but with q ribbon,
or flower, or some bit Of ornament, you
can have on air OF self respect and salts

His Own Language Forgotten.

The Japanese youths who have gone
to learn the customs and languages of
foreign nations are in great danger of
forfeiting their own. An instance is
recorded in Yokohama where u young
Japanese who left his native country
about eleven years ago, was examined
by the French professors OF the Kal So
Gakko, and though they pronounced his
conversational powers and pronuncia.
tion better than any pupil in the col
lege, he was unable to answer questions
in the various branches of study, such
as arc commonplace in the lowest class.
The young man had utterly forgotten
his own language. The young mans
prospects as q Japanese are not very
brilliant. He cannot even become an
interpreter, but must sit down to learn
Japanese as new language.

DcvIauons of tho Compass.

A deviation OF tho compass has fre.
quently been observed on vessels carry.
ing petroleum, and this irregularity Is
attributed to the sheet-iron tanks con.
tanning the oil. The greatest deviation
is shown when the vessel heads east or
west: but there is none when tho head.
ing is north or south. A Boston sea
captain, who had been troubled with
this deviation, in comparing his posi-
ton as obtained from observation with
thpt derived from his "dead reckon.
ing,' gives the following ingenious
method for regulating his course |:
Having tried the four compasses in diff
ferent parts Of the vessel, Ile found that
there was deviation OF 10 degrees east,
or say II points. He then placed one
compass near the mizzen-mast, and one
on o plank laid across the stern boat.

no corrected the pinnacle compass. He
kept the compass on the plank at the
stern, and every time the vessels course
was changed, day or night, he noted
the difference between IL and the bin.

Paris Green aud the Cotton Worm.

The effectiveness OF Paris green in
destroying the cotton worm Is q subject
Of much discussion in the Southern
press. A letter from cotton factor
and planter in Montgomery, Ala, writes
TO n banking-house Of New York as
follows: W
nm Just in from my farm: The cot
ton is all safe up to this time still free
from worms where the Paris green was
applied. 1 am perfectly satisfied, and
so are oil who have properly used the
Paris green, that we can now completely
destroy the worms, and by It's universal
use for one season in the districts sub
ject to them entirely exterminate them.
This will be next to the discovery OF
the cotton gin in giving m impetus to
the extension OF cotton planting, and l
now think 1t is only aquestion OF prices
as to how much We can increase our
cotton crop. With no danger from
worm, we can make cotton proftably at
from 10 TO 70 cents per pound, and I
think that another year no one will fear
the worm. The only question is, can q
sufficient quantity OF Paris green be
obtained to go all over the crop south
Of latitude 80 degrees north ? II 50,
we can in one season exterminate the
worm. I do not think there is single
practical planter who has used it or
seen its effects, on proper application,
who is not perfectly satisfied that il Is
u complete success. I have only found
it necessary to make the application tho
second time upon those spots where it
was put on imperfectly or the applica-
tion was Immediately followed by ex-
cessive rains. This is also tho exact
experience OF oil OF whom have any
knowledge.
