A MASONIC GOAT.

Ia small village, not thousand
miles from this place, a certain d.
vine whose church is strongly OPP
posed to secret societies announced
a few weeks ago that that he would
deliver q discourse against freema-
sonry. The appointment was tor
Saturday night, and large audi
ence came out to hear him. Just as
the speaker began to warm up with
his subject, lot of boys went up to
the door aud opening il showed in an
cid billy goat, and locked the door
on the outside. Now this cd goat
was a notorious fellow. The boys
about town had leased and fooled
with him so much that be was al
ways "on the fight" When thrust
into the large company that compos,,
ed the audience Of the reverend
speaker gesticuIating in the further
end Of the room, aud with few pre-
liminary mods, to assure himself tnaI
his neck was in good working order,
he made for / i'm on the double-qnick.
1t was as if The ghost OF the tradl-
tional Masonic goat was after him.
Dodglng around the pulpit he man
eyed 10 eludc billy's well-aimed
butts. Down among the audience
they came, the pursued aud the pur-
sncr. Women and children noun
ted the benches, and such a scene OF
confusion and such al uproar is not
often seen in solemn assembly -
In the meantime the boys were firing
a vollcy Of stones At the end Of the
building. By a strategic movement
the goat was caught and tied 70 q
bench, and the congregation quoted
down. The speaker resumed his
subject. Billy stood quietly for q
while, but when one Of the boys who
knew his tricks made motion At
him, he began TO plunge and to rear
to get at him, creating about as much
confusion as before. When the door
was opened all were glad to get ont
except Billy, who felt that he had

Bows.--Bows Is a ' onng man 0

BOws.--l}ows is a young man q
lazy and easy habits. He isa grace
full young man. He can owe a tail
or's bill with more grace than Count
D'Orsay, and Pat him of when he
presents his bill with a suavity SO
delicious that the tailor feels like
trusting him so morc---when he pays
that last account. Bows is a mar'
ried man. His wife prevailed on
him to 60 to church. The minister
preached an eloquent sermon, and
its telling truths would have brought
tears into the eyes of Bows, but that
he remembered that his supply of
clean handkerchiefs was limited to
one. The text Of the sermon moved

home bordering deeply over this
text, and next morning he packed
his trunks, took all his family--in-
GLIDING his mother-in law aud the
tame parrot-and called on his aunt
and stayed for two months. Now
he is hunting for that minister He
wants him to preach something
interesting about his uncle, or his

Making Them Kick Gently.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Germantown
(Pa.) Telegraph believes in making cows
mind their ps and qs, and that without
undue severity. He says:
I do not wonder that many persons
boot at the idea of trying to prevent a
COW from kicking by simply buckling a
strap around her body; but when they
are once induced to try it they are forced
to knock under and confess that person
is never too old to learn"
Have the patient tied up; then buckle
strap round her body just forward of
hips and udder; then go to milking and
let her blaze away" if she can.
Some heifers, especially large three
year-olds, are hard to break on account
of their strength. When they do kick
they kick with such force that it is use
less to try to ward off the blow. have
sometimes succeeded in convincing such
heifers that it is best for them to kick
softly, if they must kick at all, by buckling
strap with ring on it around the left
hand leg, just above the gambrel or hook
joint. Then from the right side pass a
small pole or fork handle in front of the
right leg and into the ring Let an
assistant hold the end of the pole. 1t is
impossible for the cow to kick, and two
or three milkings this way will cure the
kicking, or, as said, get her to kicking
softly, SO that the blow can be warded
off by the left arm of the mixer instead
of the pole, and then the battle is about
over.
Allow no one to scold at, or strike, OF
in any way brighten or excite heifer
but rather be quiet and gentle with her
and if any force must be used let it be
something like the above, to prevent hel
from kicking, not to punish her fol
kicking.

that fares out at the sides, and cover il
with strips of the bark joined neatly and
tightly nailed on. Finish the top with a
strip of bark around the edge and glue
on moss here and there to give it pretty
effect. Then use the grape-vines for
handles, twisting two or three of them
together, and you will have handle OF

Window boxes can be made to fit into
any window in this manner, and when
filled with charcoal at the bottom and a
rich sandy loan and planted with bed
ding-out plants or annuals-like asters or
balsams-they are lovely ornament for
months to come
Beautiful hanging baskets car also be
made out of the bark and grape-vines,
taking square bit of the bark for the
bottom of the basket, and building up
the sides, log-cabin fashion, out of the
pieces of grapevine, sawed into equal
lengths and fastened strongly at the end
with wire or single nails. A curved
piece of the vine can be made to do duty
for a handle.-Daisy Eyebraght, IN ". Y.

Helps in ironing.

IT quite depends on the way ironing
is done whether it is agreeable or not.
The ironing board must have slip-cover,
to be washed each fortnight, and be-
sides there should be a large piece of
thin cotton to lay over starched things to
take the first pressure of the iron. This
piece must be fine, for coarse cloth will
leave the impress of its threads on fine
fabrics. A breadth of m old jaconet
skirt is the best. A bowl # clear water,
with q clean sponge or soft brush, or
worn white rag, must be ready for
dampening spots that have dried since
folding, or have not ironed smoothly.
The table ought to be solid, without
leaves, and high chair should be pro-
vlded, 80 that one may sit close to the
board, touching it with the waist. It is
just as cozsoaient to iron sitting as
standing, il one gets used to it, and most
of the fatigue of ironing comes from
standing long at time.
A housekeeper who knows how to be
good to herself-as every woman ought
to be-will have teble for ironing with
