A NORFOLK farmer, not accustomed

having lost new hat at country meet

been taken by mistake, addressed the

A sCHooLMAsTER delivered an address
to his scholars, of which the following
passage is an example: You boys
ought to be kind to your little sister.
1 once knew a bad boy who struck his
little sister a blow over the eye.
Although she didn't fade and die in the
early Summer time, when the June roses
were blowing, with the sweet words of
forgiveness on her pallid lips, she rose
up and hit him over the head with a
rolling pin, so that he couldn't go to
school for more than a month, on ac-
count of not being able to put his hat
on"

A PRINTER in Glasgow was sadly
bothered with an apprentice who could
not, or would not, be initiated into that
portion of grammar which treats of the
proper disposition of letters in words.
One day he presented such shockingly
inaccurate proof as made his master,
after starting with amazement, take the
spectacles from off his nose, and give
the i'll disposed "devil'' the following
recipe:
"My man, Just gang hame the night,

it for your supper, as that seems the
only way you'll ever get spelling put

A YOUNG couple were sitting together
in a romantic spot, with birds and
flowers about them, when the following
dialogue ensued:

DAIRYISG IN EASTERN NEW YoRK.-A
writer In the Utica Herald writes thus
concerning a model dairy which he
recently visited: 1.-The mornings milk
is set twenty-five hours and the evenings
twelve. Ali the cream is taken off that
can be at the expiration of this time.
It is allowed to stand over until the
next morning after skimming, to take
eff acid. Then it is churned, worked,
and salted, three-guarters of an ounce
of salt to a pound of butter. The
churning is done in dash churns, with
steam power. The milk is set in deep
pals, in tank of water large enough
to contain two messes, and the work of
the factory is all done by men and boys,
it being found too heavy for women. We
noticed that the water used was not
much above the temperature of brook
water, yet the butter sold for the highest
prices, the last sale netting the patrons
% cents. The butter is packed in
return pals" sales made weekly. We
saw no signs of ice. and we believe none
is used. After examining the butter
department, we were naturally anxious
to see the cheese. By the judicious
use of rennet, heat and acid, the cheese
was made mellow and less leathery than
skinned cheese usually is. The skim
ming was more apparent in the taste
than in the texture, but there was not
that fiat flavor which characterizes
white OAK" 1t is not too much to say
that it is the best skinned cheese We
ever saw, and better than some we have
seen where only one mess of milk was
skinned. The superiority of its char
acter is indicated by the last sale, which
was at 12 cents in New York"

SOMETHING ABOUT SHAwLs. - India
shawls are much lower than they have
been for many years. Some of the
long-striped India shawls, sometimes
called ''Boston Shawls," are very low
at from si5 to 800, lasting forever and
a day. The real cashmere shawls called
Decca range from $50 to $50, and, con-
sidering their artistic beauty, are very
cheap, for all of the embroidery Is
handmade in one piece. The more ex-
pensive India cashmeres of the very
darkest Oriental tints, blend in ex-
quisite harmony, the sad-colored bor-
dering and the brilliant hectic of
Autumn leaves-an innovation on the
usual stately palm. These are sold
from 5000 to $1,000; but it must be re-
membered these superb creations are
heirlooms in families, and never go out
of fashion. AS all things else pail
upon the senses and one becomes weary
of ones possessions, there is an mex
pressible charm in the India shawl, its
faint Oriental perfume, its associations,
to say nothing of its value. Still mex
penslve is the striped shawl in glowing
Roman colors, black, frightened by
gay stripes. There is an Anglo-Ind
shawl comforting to the heart of all
possessors, in thick, soft, warm diago.

RRvssEus CARPET.-In the Brussels
Garnet wool of different shades and
colors is employed, those required to
produce the pattern being thrown upon
the surface, while others are passed at
the back. The shades of color being
limited in number, the transitions are
somewhat abrupt. In patent tapestry
carpets the wool is one continuous
length, which, by exact calculation OF
the quantity of each tint required to
complete the pattern, is dyed OF varl-
ous colors before it is woven. The
weaving of a carpet of this kind, there
fore, simple process, the workman has
but to weave the tinted wool as 1t is de-
livered to him. In this kind of carpet
no wool is passed at the back. When
the carpet is finished the pattern IS IN
every respect, except the square form
of the stitches, similar to the design,
the gradations of color being as numer-
ous and as complicated. The greatest
nicely and accuracy is, however, re,
quired in making the calculations oi
the different lengths of color with which
the wool is stained. as any error IN this
respect distorts the pattern. As to de
sign, it is to be remembered that they
are Intended to be closely viewed, and
therefore the coiors should be neither
harsh nor discordant; there should be
the presence of middle tints, and o.
those soft, agreeable, broken color:
which give repose to the eye, uniting
the extremes of light and dark, and
harmonizing the contrasting hues.

The Transit or venus.

The coming transit of the planet
Venus is a matter of great importance
to the scientific world. The phenom-
enon will oceur on the 9Th of Decem-
Der next, and extensive preparations
are being made for the observation of
the passage of that planet across the
sun disk. The last transit visible
from the earth occurred in 1869, and
there will not be another till the year
2OO4. BY the knowledge We now
possess, as basis for calculation, it
is impossible to ascertain the earth 8
distance from the sun within 100000
miles. When the total distance is
about 81 ,4SO, 900 miles, as slight a mat
ter as the distance above mentioned
would seem to be of no practical I'M
portance; but variation of forty times
the earth's diameter renders computa-
tions too uncertain to suit astronomers
1t is expected that the observation,
which will be taken next December,
will leave a margin of only 80, 900 miles
open to doubt As the transit will oc-
cur in the winter, the base of observa-
ton must be located south of the
equator. Great Britain will have
special stations in the Sandwich
Islands, and in seven other localities.
The United States will have eight par
ties in the field. France will occupy
three stations, Russia four or five, and
Germany FIVE. The problem is simply
the familiar geometrical process OF
constructing two sides Of a triangle in
order to determine the third.

nd of civil and religious liberty will

end of civil and religious liberty will
come.
1t is only repeating what has been
SO often said and as frequently demon
strated to be true, that the overthrow
OF the dram shop will dry up the foun-
tain from which the lawlessness has
its principal support.
The whisky party have no political
principles and care for no other inter
est, but will cast their votes and influ-
ence with any party that will tolerate
the prosecution of their inhuman
work.
Let the good men be as earnest and
independent for the support of the
right in the exercise of the right of
! suffrage, as the whisky men are in the
support of the wrong.
Let candidates for office who resort
| to whisky to obtain votes-who go
| agout the country corrupting the
I young men by the free use of intoxi-
| eating drink, be overwhelmed by such
majorities against them as will teach
politicians not to renew the expert
ment of asking the votes Of good citi-
zens for such men for any position.
We must have the official influence of
| the country on the side of progress
and reform.
The officers of the law must be in
| full accord with the spirit Of the times.
Now too often they are led or driven
| to yield an unwilling and hesitating
support to great reforms when they
should ever be gallant leaders in all
the grand movements to better the
condition of men.
To secure such official influence the
ballot is the only and certain remedy.
This grand agitation and this eleva-
ton of the temperance sentiment of
the country will be of no lasting bene-
+. fit if this point be not gained.
