A DANBURY MAN ASTONESHED.


A Danbury man partook of an elegant
supper of fried CLANS, Saturday night,
and went home pretty well satisfied with
himself and the scenery. AT two clock
i'll the morning he was awakened by an
unusual activity of half dozen spasms
which appeared to have moved in dur
ing his sleep. Getting out of bed as
hastily as possible, he CROPPED his way
to the dresser where he kept bottle of
"Wine of the Woods" standing, and
removing the cork hastily swallowed a
substantial dose. The moment he got
the taste of it he experienced failing
sensation, which, together with the
shape of the bottle, created Il sudden
aud ungovcrnable anxiety within him.
Gracious, Ann = he said to his wife,
"what bottle is that on the dresser %
"Why, mercy y she exclaimed, "don' t
touch that; that is my cocoainc y 1t
was too late, however. He had touched
it, and merely explaining that he wished
to be laid by the side of his mother, he
dropped to the floor, and rolled around
and groaned until every member of the
family was awakened, and came dashing
into the room, variously clothed with
rcvolvcrs, knives and stove legs, and not
much of anything cl;c. But it was too
late to save those fl. declams. They
had moved. Ncrs.

FARM And HOME.



ktSpeaking of inalienable rights, the
right of the hog is to root but civiliza-
ton interferes with such rights, and
clips his nose or puts ring in it. If
the hog must wear ring, Colonel
Frank Curtis, of Saratoga county, n. Y,
gives his views on the subject in this
way "The ring should be just large
enough to clear the edge of the hogs
snout, and no larger, or they will catch
fast and tear it out. Small wire will
cut through the gristle much sooner and
easier than larger. The twist of the
ring must not be long, or it will catch
fast and hinder the pig from eating. A
better material than wire is to have a
blacksmith to make the rings out of
railway iron, with a hole punched
through it and fastened with twist.
The iron should be fattened and put
through the snout with the flat side
crosswise. This sort of ring will not
tear out easily. Insert the rings at the
bottom or base of the rim around the
snout, and they will last much longer.
Heat the wire before using, and it will
bend and twist much better.

put the hams thus prepared in tight

THE SHAN.

The Shah of Persia, the first of his
race to make the European tour, is now
43 years of age, and is described as look
ing much younger. He is about medi-
UNI height, and rather spare of person
his complexion is rather lighter than
what appears to he the type among his
companions, and of somewhat differ
ent color. Most of the members of his
suite incline to sort of copper shade,
like that of North American Indians,
but the Shah might easily pass for
light mulatto. His features, however,
and especially his mouth and eyes, have
nothing which resembles the negro.
Both are small, and the eyes arc very
bright and piercing. When looking
closely at any object, he generally wears
spectacles-not the eyeglasses of civil
ization, but the genuine, old-fashioned
spectacles, such as our grandmothcrs
use. The portraits of the Shah usually
give hun IL smile, or rather smirk, which
he does not have. When at rest, his
features are thoughtful, almost sad :;
and when walking about examining OBJ
Jects, his appearance is that of an ealn-
est, intelligent and patient student.
LIE orglnof the postal card illustrates
the truth of the adage how great events
may come from little things. Mr.. Row.
land Hill, the English postal reformcr,
is the pioneer to whom the world is in
debted for this valuable institution. 1t

ing incident : One day while standing
near Il humble door he saw poor wo-
man look long and earnestly ut letter
and then decline it, Curious to know
the cause he waited till the postman
had gone, and then received the infor-
nation that the letter was all on the
outside that she and her husband had
agreed upon system of signs, such as
variations in the lines and characters,
by which she could learn that he was
well, or i'll, or coming home soon, OF
wished her to come to him, and SO on.
Struck with the hardships which the
want OF proper postage must lntllct on
the poor, the great man conceived the
idea OF the penny postage.
