MENDING WATERING POTs. The
Country Gentleman" says: Tin watering
pots much used in the garden often become
rusted at the lower corners, and begin to
leak. 1t is not necessary yet to throw
them aside, as the holes may be effeetually
stopped without going to the tinker's, by
covering them inside with small piece Of
linen dipped in copal varnish, the tin being
previously thoroughly dried. When the
varnish hardens by drying, they are per-
fectly water-tight.

An Extraordinary Story.

The Bay City Tribune tells the fol-
lowing story 4" In family at Arenac
great preparations for the marriage of
a daughter have lately been going on.
The happy day was fixed, the wedding
dress and indispensable orange bios
SONS were secured, the various other
necessaries for such an occasion had
been provided, and all was joyful, when,
on the day previous to that set for the
contamination of the happiness of two
individuals, an Indian, who lived with
his tribe few miles distant, knocked
at the door of the dwelling referred to
and asked if the family had lost dress.
OF course there was only one dress
thought of at that time, and, with two
steps and bound, the damsel who
opened the door, flew up the stairs to
the room where the wedding garments
had been left The door was opened,
and 10 and behold the room was bare.
Upon returning to the Indian it was
ascertained tnat s9uaw OF his tribe
had been wearing an elegant dress and
other fnery, and knowing that she had
not come by it rightfully, the Indian
had come to town to ascertain If any
one had lost any articles. He went to
the various houses, but no one had
missed anything; and, at the dwelling
from which the articles were taken,
their absence had not even been noticed;
the room in which the garments were
left was square bedroom, and, having
no occasion to use it, no member of the
family had entered il for two days.
The bed was found in condition which
evidenced that some one had slept III
it, and it was subsequently ascertained
that The squaw who had stolen the
articles had entered the house un.
noticed, slept III the house one night
and the next morning had arisen, and
donning the wedding outfit, left for hel
home. On her way thither she passed
through the woods, soiling and tearing
the dress very badly. The loss of thu
wedding outfit necessitated a postpone
ment of the maria until anothe
dress could be procured.

The Hog CrOD.

The receipts of live hogs at the Stock
Yards for the month of October were
$780, 12 against 1926, 716 for the CORE
spending month in 1873, showing an
excess of receipts this year of 25,096
head. The average weight this year
was 1877 pounds, against 252 pounds in
October, 1878, a falling off of So pounds
per hog. Tue aggregate weights this
year were SO, 1885, pounds, against
81, $50, $50 pounds in 1873, showing an
actual decrease in weight this year of
1882, 568 pounds. Contrary to the
ordinary rule, the average weight of the
hogs received during October were II !
less than for the month of September.
The most reliable information received
from the hog growing States places the
falling off in the number of marketable
hogs at 100000 head, and the indica-
tions are that the actual decrease in
weight will be equally as large in pro-
portion as the falling off in numbers.
Packers who have opened their houses
say that the hogs they are cutting are
generally deficient in the yield of lard
as compared with former years. This
was to be expected, as it is useless to
suppose that the hogs cut this season
will be otherwise than poorly fatted, as
farmers are not inclined to feed corn
freely so long as it brings such prices

Boxed COnyicts.

Two convicts named Charles Van
Dorm and Frank Parrish, engaged
in the cigar shop of the State Prison
at Jackson, recently attempted to effect
their escape by slowing themselves in
large box for shipping cigars, and
were carried to the depot. They were
missed in short time after they left
the prison, and the agent drove to the
freight depot and brought back the box
and men, the latter much crestfallen
at their non-success. Van Dorm was
sent from Detroit last spring for five
years for grand larceny. He is sharp,
keen man, and planned to escape from
Detroit Jail last spring by digging out.
Parrish was sent from Muskegon eight
years ago, for rape, to stay twenty
years.

Elroy, appeared to be sick, so much so
that it was feared the pet would die.
The fish was accordingly thrown into
the deep water of st. Clair river a month
since, and disappeared under the sur
face. A few days ago, the same fish
was recaptured close in shore by some
boys, and returned to its glass prison,
evidently well pleased with its summer
vacation, and glad to get back home
again"

But Chanticleer, who CHANGED to hear
These sage reflections, cooked his eye.

And thus to Piggie made reply:
"a sleepy life, must confess,
We're very little TO my taste;
To live-like youth idleness,

"Our community is greatly stirredb

tons of food. The practice runs into
jellies, and especially teas and coffee.
They buy the berry, burn it carefully,
and have the aromatic beverage made

done all, they are only drinking white
beans. There is a machine here for
splitting beans and growing them.
They are then dried to the color of
coffee and soaked in q solution which
gives the coffee taste. Teas are sold
here cheaper than the pure article can

million pounds consumed in England

with boilers and coloring ma ter in the

doctor the tea for the market for which
it is intended. This impure article,
made in huge kettles and dried in pans,
is called by the Chinese cheat tea. We
