Mary Frazier-and l congratulate you,
my dear boy, for having SO stumbled upon
a happy fate in the dark. She IS, doubtless,
the dearest little woman in the world, and
a perfect lady withal" The handsome face
OF the young physician cleared and he
redeemed visibly, as he answered:

The next morning, according to the

Ahaz Poxon is a thrifty soul lie lives
near Buffalo, and is rich. Lately he was
drawn on a jury in that city, and this is
how he turned the event, usually consid-
cred a misfortune to actual profit. The
pay was dollar and a half a day for four
weeks, aggregating thirty-six dollars He
found lodgings at fifteen cents night
with poor and dirty family, the total bill
being tour dollars and twenty cents. He
bought a tin pail for twenty cents more,
and there his expenditure ended. How
did he eat? Every morning he went to a
free soup-house, established for the feed
ing of news, boys and blacks, and had
his tin pail filed. Clear profit for the
month, thirty-one dollars and sixty cents

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA. The ravages
of diphtheria in Australia have been so
extensive within the last few years that
the Government offered large reward for
any certain method of cure, and among
other responses to this was one by MIR.
Greathead, who at first kept his method a
secret, but afterwards communicated it
freely to the public 1t is simply the use
of sulphuric acid, of which four drops are
diluted in three-fourths of tumbler Of
water to be administered to a grown per-
son and smaller dose to children, at in
tervals not specified. The result is said to
be coagulation of the diptheritic mem
brane and its ready removal by coughing
1t is asserted that where the case thus
treated has not advanced to a nearly fatal
termination, the patient recovered in al
most every instance.

Fat Sheep for Heavy Fleece.

There is much said about ewes being
too tat to breed well. In my experience
Of twenty years, | have never seen any
thing that led me to think so, providing
the flesh was put on with good pasture
during the summer, and a few roots with
good hay during the winter. The tatter
sheep become under these circumstances
the more valuable should consider them.
There is a time in the year when it pays
better to feed small allowance Of grain
daily than in the fall, after the feed gets
frozen. and it is not necessary to bring
the flock to the barn.
1t is an old saying, that ''sheep well
Novembered are half wintered." Keep
the ewes fat and the lambs will be fat and
the tiecces heavy. l do not say whether
it is better to have the lambs come early
or late, but do say that it is best to have
them fat then, whether early or late they
are saIeable. All ewes, that with good
care, will not raise n lamb and shear four
pounds washed wool, should be sold. |
have them in my flock that will shear nine
pounds, and raise pair OF twins, and it
costs no more to keep one than sheep
that shears only three pounds. | think no
one will hear the man who keeps his flock
in this way. complaining his sheep are
run OUT and do not pay. and the like
Ticks must be kept out of the flock )
they are the worst enemy of the sheep. ii
they are not killed they will destroy the
sheep For killing them | have never
tried anything better than strong toboc-
co juice,
Here are some good suggestions from
the Agriculturist: every farmer should
have small room, tight and warm, which
he can lock, and where he can keep his
small tools. Then he wants good solid
work bench, with an iron vice on one side
and wooden one on the other. For iron
working, he wants solid piece of iron
for an anvil, seven-pound steel-face ham
mer, riveting hammer, one large and
one small cold chisel, two or three punches
from IA to 3-o inch. a rimmer and coun-
tersink, to be used with bit-stock, a screw
plate that will cut screw from 4 to 3-e
inch then. with round iron OF the various
sizes, and ready-made nuts he can make
any bolt he wishes. For carpenter work
he wants square, shaving horse, draw
ing knife, a set of planes, auger from one
half to tive inches, fine hand saw, with
coarse cross-cut and rip saw, large cross
cut saw for logs, and a grind-stone.

WIND POWER. We have often thought
that we might make greater use Of the
wind as motiye power. There are l2,-
900 wind-mills in Holland and Flemish
Belgium, each doing from six ten horse
power service, according to the strength
OF the wind and working twenty
hours per pay, and every day in the month
during the rainy season, and when the
SHOWS and ice are melting and the streams
are high. The annual cost OF the wind
mills in Holland is $4 100000. Twenty
times that sum would not operate steam
power sufficient to do the work, for all the
coal consumed in Holland has to be i'm
ported from England or Belgium

STUFFED CABBAGE Take large, fresh
cabbage and cut out the heart; fill the
place with stuffing made of cooked
chicken or veal, chopped very fine and
highly seasoned and rolled into balls with
yelk of egg; then tie the cabbage firmly
together and boil in covered Kettle tor
two hours. This makes delicious dish,
and is useful for using small pieces of cold
meat

From the monthly report of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington we ma
that Maine produced this year more OF
nearly all field crops than last year. The
increase in wheat is SO per cent; rye, 26 !;
oats, 27; barley. Z; potatoes, 1 beans,
/ peas, the same. There is decrease in
corn and buckwheat. In the quality OF the
crop there is about as much improvement
as in the quantity. There is little doubt
that farming is looking up in Maine.

Dear Sir A short time since an italian,
who was the confidential clerk of one of my
much esteemed clients-Signor Suzzini, of the
house of Suzzini, Isola & Co., of London, Ma
pies and France died suddenly, leaving in
writing the statement which accompanies this
letter. What transpired at st. Georges Hall
in November, 1866, concerning subject of the
most absorbing interest to those present, has
been kept profound secret, under solemn
pledge. but owing to the strange circumstances
of the case, and the almost certain death of the
remarkable stranger, supposed to be an Ameri-
can, whose reappearance has been waited with
the most intense anxiety for years, by those in
sidered himself so far absolved from his obliga-
ton as to convey to some trustworthy barrister
in your city the information herein contained.

A BONE FOR THE BABY Almost every
one who ever had a bright dog can tell
curious stories of dog behavior. A gentle
man in Erie, Pa, furnishes the Observer
this funny anecdote Mrs. J has for some
time past been the owner OF a fine Esqui-
maux dog. A few months ago Mrs j. be-
came the mother of a beautiful little girl
of whom the dog at first was very jealous.
His better nature, however, soon asserted
itself, and he became very fond of the
child few weeks ago baby was crying
loud and long, Doggie came up stairs in
evident distress OF spirit, whined in an
swer to the child's cry; but finally, as if Il
sudden thought had startled him. trotted
quickly down stairs. He presently re-
turned with bone, well picked, of course,
in his mouth, which, standing on his hind
legs, he gravely presented to the baby

avidity--that bounty Of ten cents on
each gopher scalp is paid by the local
authorities. One farmer living near
Yelo lately brought ia 1888 scaips, for
which he received $3.50 30.
One hundred and seventy.one thous-
and Otsego bass and 27,00e salmon
trout have been placed in 0tsego lake
the past two seasons, and there are at
present in the Matching houses spawn of
both varieties sufficient to make the num-
Der up to round half million A large
number Of black and rock bass, some of
them weighing two pounds, have also
been added to the piscaterial resources
Of the lake the past season.
In California, near San Francisco, is
house to which report gives ghostly be-
longings. The ASPIRATIONS take the
forms Of shadowy faces on the windows.
People go many miles to see these faces,
which are those of men, women and
children, aud are visible only from the
outside. The house has been occupied
by professional spiritualist, and COM
mittee is to prove by investigation
whether there is any trickery.
The wooden pavement is in great favor
in London. 1t is liked because it affords
a good foothold for horses, is noiseless,
smooth, and easily kept clean. The
great drawback, of course, is its perish
able nature. But on the retail dry
goods streets and in the old parts of the
city, all around tine Bank" the tax
payers express a willingness to bear the
expense of renewal once in every five or
six years for the sake of the comfort of
its use.
The Misses Smith, who own farm in
Glastonbury, Connecticut, are insur-
rectionary. They refuse to pay their
taxes because they cannot vote, and
dare the authorities to seize their prop

has had a boundary line fight running in
the courts over a hundred years. If the
process of law is similarly slow in the
case of the Misses Smith, they may re
tain their farm as long as they have any
personal use for it.
Joaquin Miller relates that not long
ago, being in Geneva, he found the town
too full OF his countrymen, anu to relieve
himself of their presence he drove to the
nearest boat and went on board. Soon
the clerk came up and asked him where
he would be pleased to go. The poet
replied: Monsieur, take me to some
place where there are no Americans"
The clerk looked at him for a moment,
then hopelessly up and down the lake,
and away across towards Mont Blanc,
and at last shook his head Suddenly
new idea seemed to strike him, and he
lifted his eyes towards heaven This
was a happy retort, but it probably owed
its inspiration to the well known fact
that all good Americans, when they die,
go to Paris.
