A Beer Fountain VIM . LIIIn. statue

A few days since an elderly gen.
t,eman, who had gDt out OF business
and concluded that he was too ad-
vanced in age to do hard work, con-
cluded to start 3 grocery store. he
secured stock Of goods, and yester-
day morning, while preparing for
opening the establishment, concluded
that he would tap the kegs of eeer left
on the previous day. A friend who
was present, seeing him approach one
OF the kegs with an anger, inquired
what ne was going t. d., aud learned
that he intended TO "tAp the beer"
The QueStiOner suggested thEt the
proper way was To place the faucet in
pOsIti IN aud drive in the cork which
the revenue stamp covered, but the
old gentlemen concluded that his way
was the best, sod forth with forced =
hCle thrOLgts the top of the keg. or
course the beer assembled like q f0un-
tain as he Withdrew the auger, and he
endesvOred 10 suppress 1t by putting
his hand over the hole, aud, falling
in this, by inserting bis finger /:
as a last resort he sat down upon it,.
calling loudly to some one to hand
him q faucet, but meanEhile the
beer had forced is way through his
pants, climbed upward, and was ooziug
out everywbere-emerging from his
waistband, and even At his shirt
collar, and the by-standers were
laughing so hard they were unable to
do anything to relieve him, even If
they had dared to venture within the
area of beer spray. 1t was not until
every drop had left the keg that the
old gentleman felt warranted in get
ting up.

Mansfield, COldEater 4 Lake Nlchigaa
Railroad,


There has been bat little published
recently in regard to the above rail-
IOad line, and it is not generally known
that that part Of the line in working
condition is yielding fair profit over
its operating expenses. The road 10 in
active operation from Mansfield TO
Tiffin, and from there the Toledo, Tif-
fin & Eastern branch runs to the for
mer city. From an exhaustive report
of an investigating committee Of the
PenT sylVanis Rsilroad, published 10
the Pittsburgh Commercial, Of sep
tember %, we notice that the gross
earnings of the branch from Mansfield
TO Tiffln during 1873 hare amounted
to S57, ,264.12 operating expenses OF
S54 995.49, leaving y net profit Of 81
269.63. On the Toledo, Tiffin & East
ern Road the earnings were S48. 279 90;
expenses, $40, ,99s So ; profits, s., ,28l. %.
THIS makes a gross prott on both
branches, Of So. $50 IS, which consider
ing it was the first year of its exis-
tence, is very gratifying result.

Helps for Wash Day.

Ifby chance your wash boiler should
spring leak when filed with clothes,
over a brisk fire, carefully press the
clothes away from the side Of the
leak aud sift q small spoonful of In
dian meal over the water the leak
will close Immediately.
Boiling water Toured over fruit
stains will cause them to disappear,
provided the boiling water is the first
water they are immersed in. The
fabric containing the stain should be
held over the tub, aud the boiling
water poured throughit it.
All dirty clothes that can be con-
veniently gathered up on Saturday,
such rs Sheets pillow slips, table
linen, etc, etc., would be much beae-
fted by washing and putting the
same to soak in clear soft water
Saturday night, letting them remain
until Monday morning, when they
could be put to boil, thus facilitating
the work in hand, on this overbur-
dened day. Besides, clothes thus treat
ed will be improved in looks hum
dred per cent. provided they have
been previously inclined TO become
yellow.

Failure or = Dental Test.

A young man, living on Cumber-
land street, this city, had, for many
days, suffered with a severe toothacbe.
and, as a derhier resort, be decided to
go to dentist aud have the by-eus-
pid taken out. With that resolution
well fixed in his mind and one dollar
10 his pocket, he sought = well-known
tooth carpenter" on Greene avenue.
the dentist Rt once decided that two
teeth would have to be drawn. The
young man had not the nerve to stand
the "double extract" so he told the
dentist to bring fOrte the nitrous-Ox-
ide bag he would qusfF himself into
insensibility.
He took the mOuthpiecs and drank
away at the gas. The dentist at last
thought he had enough. He spoke to
him. A rational answer was return
ed He must have more gas and the
moOthpiece was again inserted be-
tween his lip. When be had taken
gas enough to render to men insensi-
bic to pain, the dentist though he
would apply well-known dental test
TO see il he was ''gone."
"BilIy 2".
No answer.
He then touched the patients eye
lid to see il there was any muscular
contraction, and, in so doing, acciden-
Jly touched the eye ITSELF No twitch-
ing Of any kind. He must be insensi-
ble. The fOrceps at once brought out
= tooth with tremendous root, aud at
the same time brought that young
man TO his feet with q yell.
why In the deuce, Doc didn't you
wait until l had sucked some more
gas ?'i
"More gas ? You took enough to
put two men to sleep, and besides,
touched your eyelid and even put my
hand on your eye and you never show
ed twinge, and that is considered an
infaliible test"

Western Coal.

The st. Louis Republican says: On
both sides of the Mississippi, from
Cairo up to point not yet ascertain
ed, the coal fields stretch out in al
most ilIimitable prOductiveness; in
deed, it Is questionable whether We
are richer in metal or carbon The
one Is indispensable to the other, and
our wealth in both is 6oundless.
England has the one, but has worn
out her supply OF the other, and she
must either purchase her coal or suffer
her iron trade to leave her. In either
event our coal fields in q brief time
will make Us masters Of the field, aud
the red fires Of :he future Birming-
hams and Sheffields will dot the river
banks from this to the mouth. There
is another feature which connects
itself with this directly, and that is,
England may buy her coal Of the
West. Il Is not wild idea to con-
ceive that when the West shall pro-
cure an appropriation for an improve
menI OF the river which floats by US
to the sea, that English ships may
land their eargOes at the port Of st.
Louis and take back coal 10 ballast.
While our vast mineral wealth will
conduce to the deyelOpement Of our
greatness SIS a nation, the importance
OF our boundless supply Of coal should
not be under estimated or underval-
ued.u

COLUMBUS, Oct. S.-A gentleman
engaged IN agriculture, who has been
travelling in Central, Western, South
western, and Northern Ohio, makes
much more favorable reports on the
crops than have been sent out by
the Agricultural Department. The
drought still continues TO some extent,
but wheat and rye are already we'll up
and are looking well in Union, Ma
rion and Delaware Counties. East,
toward the river. there Is very little
corn, but In other sections the pros
pect is one Of abundance. The dry
weather has matured the corn crop
and fodder has been entirely secured.
The improved corn returns and the
high price Of hogs sre resulting Ia in
