A CAREFUL GIRL.-A blooming coun
try damsel, dressed in the height of
fashion, came tripping along in COM
pany with her beau, and, while CROSS
ing street, turned suddenly around
to look at a passing object, just MS the
tip of her shoe rested on the curb
stone of the gutter. AS she threw the
weight Of her body on the insufficient
foothold, her toe slipped. and plump
into the dirt went her little foot, and
FLASHING over her stockings and gar
ments went the mud. Her gallant
speedily helped her on to the sidewalk,
where she presented pitiable appear
anoe, and then endeavored to free her
from her sudden acquisition of soil
with his handkerchief.
'It's no use. Charley" sobbed the
rural beauty, sit won't come clean !:
and-and-my st-sto- stockings are
ruined"
s'Never mind the stockings" con-
soingly responded her swain; 81 can
buy you new pair"
"Bny me new pair; where would
I put them on?"
"Why, We can go to hotel for that
matter" replied Charley.
''Never!" almost screamed the girl; ;
"I'd sooner jump into the river than
go to hotel with man that I'm not
married to-"
Charley seemed conscience stricken
as the enormity of his proposition
flashed upon his MUD, and when last
We saw the pair they were in quest of
clean pair of hose and proper place
TO put them on.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

How 10 Raise Celery and Cabbage Plants.

find that most of the information
that I am able to give to your readers
Is suggested by inquiries OF cores
pOndentsc who write to, me to help
them out or their difficulties One of
these from New Hampshire, says
that he finds great trouble with his
crops OF both cabbage and celery on
account or the difficulty of raising the
plants. His hot bed raised cabbage
are often severely hurt by frOsts after
planting out, and his celery seed,
which he cannot in his section sow
sooner in the open ground than the
first week in May, does not give him
strong enough plants to set out in
July. These difficulties suggest a
remedy which must be different from
our usual practice i'm the latitude OF
New York, where I'm ordinary seasons
our ground operations are IN full blast
the first week in April. This remedy
is the use of sashes, not as hot beds,
but only as cold beds, or as they are
called cold frames. These are con-
structed simply of boards placed
parallel with each other, six feet
apart, or of the length of the sash
used, whatever 1t may be. These
beds should be placed in spot as
warm and sheltered as possible.
Where the frost Is yet in the ground
by placing the sashes on, the spaces
under them will soon be thawed out
by the sun, particularly Il the sashes
can be covered up ut night.-Peter

to puzzle and perplex him, for he was

of the Yankees were beyond his COM
prehensiOn. At one of our theaters,
where he was performing an engage
ment, he had occasion to find much
fault with the supporting actors, who
were particular free-and-easy set.
Going to the manager one day he
said:
"Mr. Manager, you have deceived
me, sir! You have told me that
which was not true"
"Bless me !" cried the manager,

Making Honey.

Al " A.
An English writer asserts that
"honey proper is not found in flowers;
that the sweet juice found there Is
collected by bees and afterward con-
verted by them into honey proper
marketable and presentable." He
claims that the sweet juice gathered
by bees and deposited during the day
in the comb Is reswallOwed ere it Is
manufactured into honey; that the
juice is not honey when gathered
more than cream is butter before 1t is
churned. He adds:
"FOr. the sake of others who may
wish to see for themselves, let me
suggest very simple experiment.
Some warm summer morning put
strong swarm into q hive--full or half
full OF empty cOmbs-say ut o'clock
A. NJ. Weigh hive and bees before
the latter begin to work. This swarm
will probably collect five pounds of
crude honey the same day before
o'clock r. NJ. Remove the'bees into
another hive and extract the honey.
1t will be found crude still, and as
unlike honey as cream Is unlike but
ter. No process or amount of evapO-
ration will remove its crudeness. 1t
will mould; it will sour. / have
never seen it crystalize like proper
honey. "'If this ia not conclusive
evidence, put another swarm into
another hive with empty combs. 1t
may collect the same weight of crude
honey in the same space OF time but
let it remain in the hive, and If the
bees be prevented from gathering
more by rain or artificial means, for
thirty-six hours, all the crude stuff
will be changed into honey proper,
and slowed away on the outside of
the combs. When bees come home
from the fields they empty their sacs
in the first empty cells they can find,
and 60 back to the field, for more
hence on lifting and examining hive
Mt the close of hard days work, we
find the clear limpid but crude fluid
gathered that day among tho brood
combs; there, for convenience, to be
re-swallowed, and stored away at
night"

The Original Animated Gun.Carriage
Story.

This is the way it was told by that
quaint genius, the departed "John
Ph9nix:"
Out i'm q certain Western fort, some
time ago, the Major conceived tho
idea that artillery might be used
effectively i'm fighting with Indians,
by dispensing with gun carriages and
fastening the cannon upon the backs
of mules. So he explained his views
to the cOmmandant; and it was de-
termined to try the experiment. A
hOWitzer was selected and strapped
upon an ambulance mule, with the
muzzel pointing toward the tail.
When they had sesured the gun, and
loaded it with a ball cartridge, they
led that calm and steadfast mule out
on the bluff and SGT up target in the
middle of the river to practice at.
The rear of the mule was turned to-
ward the target, and he was backed
gently up to the edge of the bluff.
The officers stood around in q semi
circle, while the Major went up and
inserted time fuse in the tOuchhOle
of the hOwitzer. When the fuse was
ready, the Major lit 1t and retired. In
q moment or two the hitherto un-
ruffied mule heard the fixing back
there on his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around
to ascertain what was going on, and
as he did so his body turned, and the
howitzer began to sweep around the
horizon. The mule at last got excited,
and his curiosity grew more and more
intense, and in n second or two he
was standing with his four legs in a
bunch making six revolutions a
minute, and the hOwitzer, undertand,
threatening sudden death to
every man within half a mile. The
cOmmandant was observed to climb
suddenly up tree; the lieutenants
were seen sliding over the bluff into
the river, as If they din't care mt all
about the high price of uniforms; the
Adjutant made good time toward the
fort; the Sergeant began to throw up
breast works with the point of his
bayonet; and the Major rolled over
the ground and groaned. In two or
three minutes there was a puff of
smoke, a dull thud, and the mule
oh, where was he? A solitary jackass
might have been seen turning success
sive back somersaults over the bluff,
only to rest at anchor finally with his
howitzer at the bottom of the river
while the ball went Off toward the
fort, hit the chimney in the Majors
quarters, ratified the adobe bricks
down into the parlOr, and frightened
the Majors wife into commissions.
They do not allude to It now, and no
report of the results of the cx-
pertinent was ever sent to the War
Department.

The Liquor Business.

The manufacture of spirits is placed
under the surveillance of the Inter-
nal Revenue Department; the dis
tiller is subjected to numerous strin-
gent regulations with n view to pre-
vent the evasion of the very high
taxes. There is doubtless no bettersub-
ject for taxation than spirits, since
they may i'm general be looked upon
as purely articles of luxury. The
consumption of intoxicating liquors
is increasing day by day. In the
United States the sale of whisky
during the year ending June 80, 1871,
was estimated at 60,000,000 gallons
of imported spirits, $500, 600 gallons
imported wines; 100000 gallons
ale, beer and porter; 65,O0O,00 bar
rels native brandies, wines, etc., esti-
mated to be worth $l31 10000 a
total valuation of 5000, 100000. AT
present the tax on each gallon full
proof alcohol is seventy cents, which
has to be paid by the distiller, and
for which, as a receipt, a stamp is
pasted and nailed on the barrel con-
tanning the spirit. The manufacture
of spirits is supervised by United
States officer, called Storekeeper, as
he has also to store the barrels con-
tanning the manufactured alcohol
until the Gauger has guaged an6
properly stamped them. Very often
it is found that the officers and the
owners of distilleries are working
together, dividing the profits made
by swindling the government out of
the tax, either by refilling oldstamp-
ed barrels or selling without any
stamp. Though the fine is very high,
this nefarious business is still trans
acted every day, often reaching
gigantic proportions, as lately shown
in the suit of the United States
against the Pekin distillcrs.-ChiogO
Tribune.
