In newly cleared regions of country, spring is al
ways an unhealthy season. The virgin soil enrich
ed by decomposed vegetable matter, sends up, when
first barred to the sunshine, volumes Of miasmatic
vapor that generates every variety OF intermittent
and remittent fever. All low laying, swampy dis
rlcts, the detas of rivers, the prairies the sat-
marshes on the coast, the bayous of the Gulf States
and the shores OF the northern lakes are also visit

The Danbury Ne,os is responsible for
the following little story of elderly craft
and intantlle credulitv:-It appears that
an Old gentleman, who lives in New Fair
Held, Is troubled by family in the neigh
borhood who are the proud possessors of
some ten or twelve children. His health
Is very poor, and for years he has been an
invalid. These children persisted in visit
ing the house and tormenting him to
death with questions and noises. As all
threats and coaxings had no effect, the old
gentleman hit upon singular device for
relief from trouble. He has a vigorous
old alarm clock in the house, that when
IL goes OIL makes noise somewhat like
boiler explosion. This clock he set to
go OIL In about fifteen minutes, and then he
called the children in from the yard,
where they were successfully initiating a
cat fight, and commenced to tell them sto-
RES abont explosions Of gunpowder and
glycerine, and of how, after the explosions,
valuable parts ofmembers ofthe commun-
lty were picked up here and there-some-
times leg, and then head, and again an
arm, and so on. The children warmed up
wonderfully in the subject, and permitted
their lower jaws to drop In wrapt
amazement. Then he went on
TO say that if a pound of gly.
cerihe was exploded in clock the
entire house would be blown down, and
people who happened to be promenading
in that direction could fill flour-barrel
with livers, and legs, and heads, and shin
bones and arms, and just then the clock
sounded the first warning of thir-r-r-r-r-r,
and stopped. The children shot an ap-
prehenslve glance up at it. And the old
gentleman looked up, too, apparently
very much scared. Then he cried out,
80! o J" and commenced to lead for the
door. And the children started, too, and
then the clock went off like thunder
storm, and the old fellow shrieked at the
top of his voice 80 heaven protect us !
Run run for your lives--the thing will
burst" And, under this awfully solemn
Injunction, the youngsters drove for the
open door, uttering chorus. of shreks,
and bucking, up against everything in
their way In their blind terror. This was
a month ago, and they haven't been over
since to hear any anecdotes,

Milking the Reindeer.

OUR old friend, who had taken us un
der her charge, was an important person
age In the milking inclosure, her duty
consisting in lassoing the deer and tying
them up ready for milking. The pro
cess OF catching the animals is very pret

she filings the moose round the selected

tree; after which she directs her atten-
ton to another member of the herd.
When an animal is secured. one of the
other Lapps, either man or woman carry
ing dirty little wooden bowl having a
long handle, approaches the captive, and
commences the operation of milking (;
which, accompanied by many resounding
slaps on the deer's udder, is a process of
sufficient nastiness to provoke senti-
ment much resembling disgust.
Each animal yields about half pint of
milk-a rich, unctuous liquid, thick and
creamy. We tasted the produce of the
herd; with what amount of relish L will

Pulling Together.

No scheme OF household economy
can be effectually carried out unless the
husband and wife, In old-fashioned
phrase, pull together. And how eften do
theyI Why, ON the contrary, they have
usually quite separate "spheres;" and
this also is part of that regimen of imi-
tation which Is a astronghold of many mis-
chiefs. The husband is to be the twin
mel" the wife the spender, and that is
100 often supposed to settle the matter.
But economy, and certainly economy
cannot be had upon these terms. Mon
sienr and madame must pull together.
and no division of "spheres'' must be
known IN the family council. The hus-
band Will do certain things, and the wife
GER ain other things, and these will iney-
itably follow certain old-world lines.
