An Oshkosh preacher and a lawyer
were lately riding several miles from town,
when their horse ran away, and they
started for home on foot. They were soon
| overtaken by a lady alone, and driving a
| good rig. She invited them to ride, and
they availed themselves of her courteous
invitation. ! Whenf they reached Main
street, to the surprise no less than disgust
of the twain, the eccentric female put
| whip to her bays, and gave the business
men and boys free circus. Four times
she forced them before The crowd. Their
| business has since been explanatory. ~
| IC1NG THAT WILL NOT BREAK.-Take
| one pound Of pulverized sugar, and. the
| whites Of three fresh eggs, we'll beaten.
| Mix them well together, and flavor with
! the Juice of one lemon, or add teaspoon
full Of strong cider vinegar. Pulverize one
| teaspoonful of wheat or corn starch, and
add to it. Flour the top Of the cake as
soon as it is taken from the oven and put
| on the icing with a large spoon, spreading
it in place by dipping a broad bladed steel
knife into water, and then smoothing the
frosting with it.
PHILOSOPHERS tell us that every uttered
word produces a vibration in the atmOs
phere; an ingenious theory has therefore
been preached that these vibrations never
entirely cease If this were true, we
shouldsti1l be moving among the inaudi-
BILE words of our progenitors. This seems
fanciful in natural philosophy; but there
is sense in which every uttered word
lives for ever 1t lives in its influence on
the speaker-in it's influence on others
Paul's voice echoes still millions of Gods
faithful messengers, being dead, yet
speak!
IT is maintained that the inferior quail
ty of certain kinds of wheat and rye flour
is frequently due to the action Of sunlight
on the flour; even when in bags or barrels
the gluten experiences a change similar
to that occasioned by heating in the mill.
The tendency thus impaired to it, to be-
come lumpy, and TO form dough without
| toughness, is similar to that Of flour from
moist grain, or of flour when it is too
fresh, or made from grain ground too
! early, or when adulterated with cheaper
barley meal. Such flour can be improved
by keeping for some weeks-P Pittsburgh

To REMOVE HARD PUTTY-Heat SOL
dering iron red-hot and draw the end
slowly along on the hard putty. Any
other pointed iron will answer about as
we'll as a copper soldering iron Care
should be exercised in handling the iron,
to keep it moving with sufficient rapidity
to prevent burning the window sash, or
any other wood to which the putty is ap-
piled. A hot iron will soften the putty so
that it may be removed with compare
lively little difficulty. Hard putty should
never be cut away with an edge-tool, as
portion of the timber is liable to be re-
moved with the putty. Soft-soap is fire.
quently recommended to remove hard
putty, but soft-soap operates too slowly
for general use-Anaersca7a Builder.

A PoTATo-BUG RAID.--A. singular phe-
nomenon in the potato-bug line was wit
messed at Chardon, on Thursday afternoon
of last week. Shortly after three o'clock
a cloud OF potato bugs on the wing en-
tered and passed through the town, COM
ing from the east and flying directly west.
At first they were taken for swarm of
bees, but some Of them falling to the
ground their character was soon determ-
ined. The first swarm was soon followed
by second, third and fourth, and so on
for the space of an hour and a half, much
to the establishment Of all who beheld.
They were estimated at tens of thousands,
reminding those who witnessed of the
Bible accounts Of the locusts in the days
of Pharaoh. No one was able to solve
the mystery of their coming or going, but
all were glad that they did not pitch their
tents on the potato hills of Chardon Per
haps they are returning to Colorado to
renew their citizenship and take new
start toward the rising sun.--Pasnesoalle

HUMoRs OF PRoHIBTTIoN.-Al lady but
lately settled at Concord, n H.,-relates
the Patriot of that city-went into a drug
store and innocently asked for pint of
alcohol to be used in a spirit lamp
"Have you prescriptions" inquired the
clerk, politely. ga what?' asked the lady,
in surprise. GA prescription from ply
sician," explained the clerk 1--WE are not
allowed to sell alcohol unless it is ordered
by physician" MOT even alcoholic
said the astonished customer "Well,
that is strange. was not aware that any
one ever drank pure alcohol as a bever-
age" every true. I think myself that
such regulation is ridiculous, but we
must obeyit: am sorry if you are in
convenienced, but cannot sell you any
alcohol unless you bring prescriptions
The lady left the drug store, and when
last seen, in the middle of the afternoon,
was circulating around looking for a
| physician who would be willing to certify
that her spirit lamp was seriously ill
