Humorous.

ACCORDING TO Max ADELKR-Before
Mintzer joined the Temperance Society.
he would make sometimes beast OF
himself by getting drunk. One night
some of his companions finding him
asleep on the sofa of the club house,
rubbed his nose with PHOSPHORUS for
several minutes, and then walked him
and took him home. There was mir
ror in the hat-rack, and the entry was
dark. Mintzer's nose glowed ike an
aurora borealis. When ne caught sight
of the reflection in ihe glass, he re-
marked that it was most extraordinary
thing that Mrs. MIntzer had left the
light burning, and he moved up to the
hat-rack to turn off the gas. After
fumbling around among the umbrellas
and hat pegs for few moments for the
stop-cock, he concluded that the light
must proceed from candle, SO he ex-
erted himself to blow it out. The more
he puffed the brighter it sbone. Then
he seized his high hat and tried to jam
il down over the candle. At last he
became mad. and snatching up an una-
brella, he resolved to smash that candle
If it took him all night. He aimed
terrible blow ct it and broke the mirror
into vulgar fractions. Aroused by the
clatter, Mrs. Mintzer came to the head
of the stairs, and observing a phos-
phorescen. light fitting about IN the
darkness below. she began to scream.
But when Mintzer at last made himself
known, Mrs. MintZer girded herself for
action. She suddenly slid down the
bannisters and seizing Mintzer by the
headlight which cleaned from his face,
she led him upstairs firmly but vigor-
ously. Mintzer thinks she must have
compressed the organ with a certain
degree of force, for when he arrived at
the second story the CHEEKY glow on his
nose had disappeared. He lets Mrs.
Mintzer turn of the gas now, and she
always sits up for him when he is out
at night.

FERTILIZINo PROPERTIES IN
BONES.

The true value of bones, aside
from their importance in the arts for
handles, ring, paints, clarifying su-
gar, etc., is fast beginning to be ap-
preciated in this country. People
we've Mortified few years since by
the published account of the tons of
human bones transported from the
battlefield of Waterloo, to be ground
and spread over the WORKOUT lands
of Europe. From time immemorial
1t has been known that vegetation,
and particularly trees, thrive i'm
mensely in grave,yards.
Now it is neither the gelatine nor
glue that holds the PARTICLES of bones
together, nor the lime of which they
are composed, which gives activity
to vegetable growth alone, but the
phosphorus in them-that inflamma-

To be most useful bones should be
pulverized, and that enables water
to make a quicker solution of the
phosphate, which the minute root
lets immediately absorb and circu-
late through the stem, leaves and
fruit. Save the bones, therefore. Let
nothing 60 to waste. There are ae-
tual treasures concealed in dry
bone, if the right course be pursued
to extract them.
In the skeleton of horse, or OK,
or even a dog or cat, there are from
one to four pounds of phosphorus.
The carcass of any of these animals,
cut up and distributed among fruit
trees, instead of being buried out of
the way as nuisance, would be to

The Boston Journal of CAeuais.
try gives the following recipe for
that beautiful and instructive parlor
experiment known as imitation FROST
crystals !: Dissolve four hundred and
six grains of nitrate; of lead in six
fluid ounces of water. If the solu-
ton is turbid, filter through paper.
Place the solution contained in a
glass vessel on the table where it is
intended to stand, and drop into lit,
two hundred grains of sal. ammoniac
chloride of ammonium-in large
fibrous crystals. Soon small crys.
tails will form, and ascend through
the denser liquid, presenting the ap.
pearance Of an ascending snow
storm. When the lead is all precip-
itated, the crystals will begin to de-
scend as a genuine miniature snow
storm, forming grotesque masses re-
sembling winters landscape. IF
the vessel containing the crystals ia
not disturbed, it often preserves its
beauty for weeks.

An abortion was produced upon a
woman named Gladstone, at Mar
shalltown, resulting in her death.
The Times says "R. D. Bell, of Mt.
Vernon, who was arrested as being
privy or an accessory to the abortion
committed on Mrs. Gladstone, had
preliminary examination before
Mayor Griswold, on Monday, and
Tuesday, and although 1t was proven
by his letters that he was engaged
to marry her-was privy to Der con-
dition and had advised her thereto,
yet his Honor did not consider that
the evidence was sufficient to con-
meet him with the act, and he was
discharged and thus goes free as the
base seducer generally does, to
prey on some other family, and bring
a member thereof down in shame
and humiliate her family as in this
case. The evidence to us is clear
that he (BelD had seduced this wo
man, proven to be reputable, under
the promise of marriage then re-
fused to fulfill his promise, and drov e
her, in a state of frenzy to commit
the act, or procure some one to do
it; which has ended in sending her
to her grave, and bowling the head
of an aged father in sorrow and
shame. Thata curse will follow him
through life, and the ghost of his
murdered victim haunt him, we
fully and confidently believe. The
seducer is worse than a murderer, for
he blasts the life and character of a
living being, and is infinitely worse
than murderer"
