Stupid Servant Girls.

Krickbaum read somewhere that Dio
Lewis advised men with a tendency to
become bald to have holes punched in
the top of their hats. And SO when
Krickbaum purchased his new winter
hat he had a small sheet-iron plate per-
forated with large holes and set III the
crown. That was on Tuesday. On
Wednesday Mrs. Krickbaum got a new
hired girl, who saw the hat on the chair
in the dining-room, and imagining it TO
be a patent colander of some e kind,
she removed it to the kitchen. When
Mrs. Krickbaum came down stairs Mt
noon to see how dinner was getting on,
she found the girl straining boiled cab
bage through the sheet-iron ventilator
in Krickbaum's high hat, and swearing
in the Ballybuhdeen dialect because the
holes were so big and the colander so
Timber. That night when Krickbaum
wanted to start for the lodge he began
to hunt for his hat, while Mrs. Krick-
baum sat still and trembling. But
when he became exasperated and COM
menced to pick up the chairs and jam
them down hard so as to relieve his
feelings, she began tc cry, and relieved
the horrible truth to him. 1t may have
been done in quicker time, but we doubt
it. We say that there may have been
in former ages some hired girl who
packed her trunk and pelted downstairs,
and was hustled into the street quicker
than Mrs. Krickbaum's hired girl when
Krickbaum began TO expostulate with
her, but the fact has not been proved.
He wears an unperforated hat now, and
will probably be entirely bald by New
Years

Cleansing Casks.

The inquiry is often made of us by
farmers, brewers, beef and pork pack.
ers, etc, regarding the best method OF
deodorizing and cleansing old cider and
beer barrels. musty cans, bottles, etc.
Chemistry furnishes an agent in the
permanganate potassa which fully meets
this want. A pint of the permanganate
turned into the most musty, filthy cider
or beer cask, and rinsed about a few
moments, will entirely decompose all
fungoid growths and fermenting matter,
and render the cask rs sweet as those
that are new. The deodorizing, disin-
fecting power of the permanganate,
holding as it does five equivalents Of oxv-
gen, is wonderful it will even deodor-
ize carbolic acid. The only way to re-
move Immediately the odor Of carbolic
acid from the hands, is to immerse them
in the liquid permanganate.-Bosfo

A Jolly Old Party.

Mr.. Allen Ferguson, of Amsterdam,
Va, who is 72years of age, lately visited
his mother in Appomattox county, who
will be 100 years of age OF the 9th of
January next. The good old lady was
delighted to see her boy: and to pro-
mote his pleasure, and to crafty that
inordinate social feature of Tuckahoe
character yet glowing in her own heart,
determined to give him a party, which
she did by inviting seven of Aliens
schooln,ates to dine. OF the eight
s~choolboys thus brought together, Allen
vas the youngest. the other seven rang
ing from IS to 81 years. Among other
topics discussed at the dinner-table, that
of longevity was introduced. and il was
the united testimony of the party that
most of our modern misunderstanding
diseases are due TO the fashionable bills
of fare o commonly found through
the country. and that Hog and HON.

and long hfe.-FrRcaStIe Ua.) Herald.

4 Denbting Daughter.

There is n young lady in this city who
is having more than her share Of trouble
perhaps, because she is having more
than her share of beaux. A day OF two
ago one Of her admirers called to spend
the evening. Shortly after the Young
folks got nicely located, the girls mother
dropped into the parlor and soon fell t.
telling a long yam. She sat directly in
front of the Young couple, and the
daughter discovered that her mothers
dress was open in front, and imme-
diately inaugurated r series of winks
and motions in hopes of attracting the
old lady's attention to the fact. But
the mother thought the daughter was
doubling her story, and said: lyon
may wink IS much as you please. but
every woid is true" The daughter
" Lit out" and the old lady finished her
storv.-Siour City Journal.

A Great Flower Garden.

You have heard of old bachelors
whims. There are lots of them on rec
ord, but Henry Shaw, of st. Louis, has
given practical execution to the most re-
markable bachelors crotchet of the age
He is n Scotchman, a millionaire, and
some 70 years old. He has constructed
the finest flower garden in the world. 1t
has $50 acres in it, and is a gorgeous
marvel of a garden. 1t has all the
flowers in it Obtainable in the world,
that will live in st. Louis climate. 1t
is n bewildering paradise of floral
beauty. The flowers number by the
millions. Its cost no one can tell.
Shaw himself don't know. 1t is thread
ed by walks, and adorned with conserya-
tories and lighthouses full of the rarest
e~xotics. A force of loo gardeners is
needed to keep the place in order.
Shaw, it is said, spends his entire in
come from his millions in keeping it up.
He began the thing after the war, and
for several years he has opened it to the
public. Hundreds of thousands of visit
ors resort to it. 1t is the chief attrac-
ton and curiosity for the stranger in
st. Louis to visit. And, strange to say,
nc police guard it, and no flowers are
pilfered. This is the public reverence
to the mans generous enterprise.
We visited the elegant house at the
head of the garden, where an elegant
picture represents him standing among
his flowers. Two elegant portraits of
beautiful ladies in the garb of a past
day, represent some of his female pro-
genitors. A huge book is kept there
for visitors to record their names in. A
curious feature of the garden is beds de-
voted to one flower. For instance,
there is a large bed with every variety
of cactus another with hundreds of
verbenas, and so III. Everything is in
a prodigal profHsion. 1t is a curious
notion this, that prompts a rich man to
devote n great income to one pet ca
price, and that principally for the bene-
fit of others. But in this very caprice,
so unusual and so expensive, is wrapped
up his OWL personal aspiration. He
thus makes his celebrity. And why
should a man not strive to become
known through his mammoth gardens,
as well as through his craftsmanship or
achievements of arms or genius?
Shaw is near his grave. He has, in
pursuance of his ambition, willed his
gardens to the city, on condition that
the city binds itself to keep them up.
The city has eagerly accepted the be-
quest, and thus, through private liber-
ality, gets, without cost, a public gar
den not surpassed in the world for mag
~nificence and beauty. The garden will
forever be dubbed "Shaw's Garden"
and he thus travels on to immortality on
the successful realization of his stnpen-
dous and most beautiful crotchet.-At-

4 Prophecy.

1t is not impossible that the present
troubles under which the Spanish Re-
public labors will eventuate in the wiping
out of that nationality. The event is
not at all a novelty. Poland once NELL
aced and almost conquered Russia.
Prussia was once only one of o coterie
of German States; Portugal was once
mistress of the seas; Holland once ruled
the ocean; Venice was once the greatest
power in the world. We need not go
back to the times of Egyptian, Judean,
Assyrian, Grecian or Roman power to
learn of the growth and decadence of
nations. The New Zealander on the
ruins of London is not an impossibility.
SPAN is more the ''sick man. in Europe
than even Turkey was. Before this gem
Grafton shall pass away this Government
will control the islands of Cuba and
Porto Rico, England will hold the Phil
lipine islands, Italy and Germany will
have the Spanish possessions in the
Mediterranean, and the territory of
Spain itself will be divided between
France, Italy and Portugal. This is no
prophecy, but simply a statement of
fact that current events foreshadow.-

A "Reminiscences or Gov. Allen.

A friend informs us that when he was
a boy at college he had n roommate
from the State of Ohio. He was fond
of speaking of the celebrities of his ma
tive State, and Senator Allen was one OF
the chosen heroes. He related to our
friend the following incident, which
may prove interesting at this day. The
Senator was addressing a large audience
in the native town of orr informant.
When about half through his speech,
after making some positive assertion, a
stentorian voice cried OUT
"That's a lie, sir !"
The Senator paused a moment, and
then ASKED
What is your name, sir I"
The answer was given,-
my name is Vass."
The Senator responded
Il move the Y be stricken from that
mans name. All You in favor of it, say
ay."
And a hundred voices cried ont,

"Now," said the Senator, "you are
voted an ass"

To THE SurYERISa.-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DIR WALK
ER, of California, of his herb remedy,
VINEGAR BrrrERs, is one of the most i'm
portant in medicine. He has tested
them thoroughly, in his own family,
among his friends. and upon hinlseV;
and he is driven to the conclusion that
they possess rare and unexcelled cura-
tive properties. He says Of them
"They contain no dangerous drug.
They never reduce the patient-never
render che liable 10 take ~cold-never in
terfere with the everyday business o:

a condition of cure. and are adapted TO

Some Modern Sayings.
BIZ N. QUAD.


"HoSEsrY is the best policy" unless
you can get about $4,000 and effect q
settlement at 80 per cent.
LET your motto be, "Liberty or
Death" and if it ZONES to the pinch
take the most of it in liberty.
HONOR thy father and thy mother,
particularly about circus time, when
you don't know where to raise fifty
cents.
NEVER run in debt when you can
avoid it. 1t is much better to go
stubbing around in a broadcloth coat
than to be in debt for a suit of Scotch
mixed.
LOVE thy neighbor as thyself. Bor-
row his pillow, hoe or horses whenever
YOU can, but if he wants to borrow
yours tell him that you're very sorry
but you were inst going ID use them
yourself.
Be guarded in your conversation.
! There are times when you may freely
express your opinion of a political
candidate, but You had better wait until
| his friends are over in the next county
visiting.
RESPECT old age. If you have a
maiden aunt forty years old, and she is
passing herself off for a girl of twenty
three, there is no call for you to expose
her. The more you respect her age and
keep still about it the more she will re-
spect You.
NEVER marry for wealth, but remem-
Der that it is just as easy to love a
girl who has a brick house with q
mansard roof and a silver-plated door
bell as one who hasn't anything but
an auburn head and an amiable dis
position.
REMEMBER that appearances are often
deceiving. Many a pale, thin young
lady will eat more cOrned beef than a
carpenter. Because you find her play
ing the piano in the parlor, it is no sign
that her mother is not at the corner
grocery running in debt for a peck of
potatoes.
RISE with the lark. That is during
cold weather as sOOn as the lark rises,
waken your wife and tell her that
it is time to build the fire. If she
makes any objections you can refer her
to a dozen works on the benefit of early
rising. Any man who cares a cen for
his wifc's health will take pride in hear
ing ID around the house at daylight
of a winters morning getting up a red
hot stove and warming his socks and
boots.

A coLoRED man, recently deceased, in
New Orleans, owed the city nearly
800, 900 in back taxes. He lived in a
miserable old garnet, worked like a
slave, and allowed himself none Of the
comforts of life. He owned real estate
worth S700,OOO at least, and a large
amount of bonds and cash. There were
writs against INN for taxes running
back a dozen years, which he avoided
paying by giving the city 10 per cent.
on the gross amount, which the law per-
mitted, and then he lent the money on
