New Method of sInug ghtering Animals.

Killing animals by the so-called bOutrole,
first used in Paris, and recently introduced
into Vienna, seems preferable to the Old
method, since an animal can be instantly
killed by a single blow with an instrument @
weighing scarcely five pounds, instead oil the
ten to fifteen blows with the heavy hammer
usually employed The lnstrumsh' men spy boIIpy
cv,inder like a gns-wad punchl about six
i3ches long and one inch in diameter, with
;tS ~. edSe Ground sharp on the end opposite the
Made. n, @ & single blow with this end cuts
round hole in the forehead and produces in
slant death.

SHALL AND VILLAS to shall and riu
something may doubtless be done by study,
and by taking thought to check bad habits
and correct the result of unfortunate asso-
Citations. The mistake most commonly made
in the use of these words, and the one there
fore most scarefully to be avoided, is the use
OF aeiu for shall, and of the corresponding
Ior iciM. And yet in the word sIihy-shally.
which is upon everybody's lip, is petrified
the rule and the example in regard to shall
and tciH. Shilly-shally is merely colloquial
corruption of "Shall [? Shall I?'' and thus
expresses the condition of man who is
vacciliating between two courses OF conduct.
1t has been made into participle, perhaps
even into verb. A man who islands
shiy-shallying about woman" as the la
dies say, is man who, as they also some
times say, doesn't know his own mind about
her-a mental condition for which sthe sex
has not the highest respect. Now no one
would say that man stood asking himself,
"Will 1? Will II" and yet such is essentially
the mistake most frequently made in regard
to the use OF these words in conversation.
We hear people say, "What ,viH do ?" and
Twill do' thus or so? the offenders in
these cases being generally of what some
people humorously call the Hibernian per-
suasion-an expression, by the way, for
which there is authority" of very respecta-
BILE standing and antiquity. Among people
OF AnglO-Saxon race and of average edncas
tion the mistake, when made, most common
ly takes the indicative form-thus: 81 will
go to bed elegantly, retire) at ten o'clock
to might" or "We will breakfast at eight to-
morrow instead Of 81 shall go to hed' etc.,
''We shall breakfast" etc. Not quite so
often we hear, Il would be glad to CO." eve
would be happy to see you;" instead Of II
should be glad," '.We should be happy" etc'

[From the New York Herald.l
Was the Bard of Avon a Genius, Pla-
giarist or BOucicault BOucicauIts
and Bret Harte'S Belief.

Vending our way to where Fifteenth street
joins Union square, we entered snug house
between Tifany's store and the Manhattan
Club, and addressing an agreeable French as
sistant at the door, inquired if Mr.. Bouci-
cault was at home. ''Om, Monsieur, Mon
tez," and we mounted. On entering the two
adjacent rooms, forming study and library,
ON the second floor, we found them occupied
by three gentlemen. In the first who rose to
meet us we recognized lthe Shakespearean
get-up of Mr.. Boucicault. The two other
gentlemen seated in the room did look so
very darky upon us, we began to feel they
were witnesses brought in to protect the
dramatist from misrepresentation.
We bowed toward detected figure who
was concealed behind big cigar, and turned
to bestow similar greeting on severe Wis
moustache, who glared steadily at us from a
corner of the sofa. ''Mr. Bret Harte, Mr..
Howard Paul." said my host, indicating tine
two gentlemen. champagne cocktail. he
added, in the same tone, indicating glass
jug on the table.
you to get your opinion on the question now
agitating the lecture worldwide wrote
Shakespeare; was it Bacon|'
''Baconr' cried Mr.. Paul. "No, sir. There
is the man who wrote it. There he sits; look
at him."
"Whatp' we replied. 'You do not mean
to assert seriously that Mr.. Boucicault wrote
Shakespeare"'
''Every line of it. was presen. when he
did it," said Bret Harte, with the gravity of
profound conviction. ''He was assisted by
Mr., Colley Cibber, but they only allowed
Shakespeare's name to go up. He was a
sham"
"Will you be good enough to speak serious.
"? The question is an important one, and
many serious minds have been engaged upon
it. Have you read the article in Fraser's
Mdgazineg'
81 have read," replied Mr.. Boucicault, "as
much Of it as appeared i'll the Herald; and,
| seriously, thought it was not worth think
| ing about. The internal evidences of the
| plays of Shakespeare being the work of just
such an untutored mind, such barbariC
| genius as Shakespeare are to be found in ev-
cry page and every line. Do you think that
mind like that of Bacon, shaped in classica
mould by the exercise and education OF the
period, could have conceived or rather heapet
together such mass of glorious incongruity
as the Midsummer Nights dreamT where
bottom and his fellows, all Stratford trades
folk, are brought into contact with Theseus
Demetrius, Lysander, Helena and the Queer
of the Amazons, in wood near Athens, an,
mikes. up with Gothic fairies? Do you thin
that Bacon could have illustrated the mobiles
subjects with tropes and figures drawn fror
the mos. vulgar associations? Take, for e,
ample, the soiloquy in Hamlet, such lines a
these:
sWhen he himself might his quetus make
With bare bodkin. Who would fardels bear
To grunt and sweat under weary life.

Sunday morning there came over the Great
Western road, on its way West, trunk which
made the hair of the baggage-smashers stand
right up. 1t was th;rty-four inches long, three
feet wide, and was made of solid boiler iron, an
eighth of an inch thick. The handles were of
iron, rveted on with great bolts, and the lid
was fastened down with an immense paddock.
On one end of the trunk was painted the words:
"She can stand itp' and on the other, 'more
comina?'-Detroit Free Press.
Speaking of ten-pins, a correspondent says:
"You see, while man chooses ball he can

the girls are bound to select the biggest one

they go on a waddling run half way down the
alley, and then let go their burthen with
spiteful shove, give sigh of relief, straighten
up and walk back with a dignifed and uncon-
cerned air, as if they didn't care whether that
ball went or whether it knocked down any pins
or not :.
Milwaukee Neaos: A disconsolate widow
in the western part of New York state, repairs
to the tomb of her husband every evening at
sunset, enters the vault, and seats herself
in chair formerly used by the departed,
where she remains sometimes several hours,
always an hour, and she has done this, with
scarcely an intermission, for two years, since
her husbands death. But there is young
fellow, who wears lavender breeches and parts
his hair in the middle, who sits ON the coffin
and keeps her company. He rather likes it.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
WOod.Bori ng Inseefs.

The Carriage Journal, which picks up
many good things relating to its speeialties,
gives the following in relation to timber:
The worm that produces what is known as
powder post in hickory or oak is not indigo
nous to the wood, neither is it the same in
sect as the borer, although operating at the
same time, and in similar manner. The
borer is the least troublesome, as it will not
deposit its eggs where the bark is removed,
but the insect that produces the powder post
worm will deposit its eggs in the interstice5
of the surface, and, after the worm is hatched,
it works in seasoned as well as partially sea-
soned timber, always following the porous
strata of the wood.
Experience has shown that the ravages Of
these worms may be greatly checked, If not
entirely prevented, by cutting the tree at the
time OF year when it contains the least sap.
The practice is, of course, governed by the
locality, the safest time being the two months
following the fall of the leaves. At this pc
riod the wood is more compact than at any
other and there is less substance for the worm
to subsist on. Some object to cutting the
timber at this season, on the ground that it
is not as tough and heavy as when cut in the
early spring, andn they claim that the ravages
OF the insect can be prevented by removing
the bark and placing the timber in dark
place until it is well seasoned.
Steaming will kill all in the wood at the
time, but, if not properly guarded against,
posting its eggs as when the timber is filed
with sap. The question as to what viii en-
tirely prevent powder post, although often dis
cussed, is as far from being solved as ever !;
almost every person handling the wood has
different opinion, but we believe that, if cut
and treated as we suggest, there will be but
little difficulty experienced from these worms.

Fall Management of sheep.

If sheep are not marked, this should be
done forthwith. For valuable breeding sheep,
metallic ear-marks should be used. Common
sheep should be marked with red chalk, or
Venetian red and oil. Ewes may be marked
across the shoulders, wethers across the rump:
and those that are to be sold oil, with stripe
down their backs. II the flock has not been
separated, no time should be lost in doing
this. Ewes and wethers, selected for fatten-
ing, should be put by themselves into good
pasture and fed little grain. Lambs should
be put, along with a dry eve for company, in
to a field away from the rest OF the flock. As
the ewes come into season, the danger from
dogs is greatly increased, and watchfulness
should be redoubled. 1t is in vain to depend
upon bells, except as means for giving
alarm.
