BRApLEy's PATENT ENAMEL PAINTING can
recommend this to be reliable, because we have
tried it on our house and found it to be all that
is claimed for it. 1t is especially durable and
preserves its gloss, and can be applied by any
person who has got ordinary sense. Persons
who do not care to be subjected to the expense
and annoyance of employing regular painter,
can easily apply it themselves. We have done
so and feel quite proud of our work.-Port To-

TrIcked by a Primn Donna.

When Madame Alboni was in Berlin
the director Of the theater Della Scala,
in Milan, resolved to engage her for a
week or two. He accordingly set out
post haste for Berlin. In village near
Inspruck some part of the carriage was
broken, and our impressario was obliged,
much against his will, to halt In very
i'll humor he set out for a promenade
through the village, while the smith was
repairing the carriage. Sauntering list
lessly along he suddenly heard singing
and such singing. Never had he heard
so sweet, so clear, so heavenly voice.
For awhile transfxed with astonishment,
he at lenath approached the house, and
soon found himself in the presence Of
the songstress. She was handsome
Tyroleese maiden of uncommon graces
and dignity, and was entertaining three
children, who we're intently listening to
her.
He apologized for his intrusion, and
begged to know if the fraulen under
stood music, or if what he had just heard
was mere natural talent. She replied
that she understood music. The direc-
tor Immediately drew from his pocket
some sheets of La File du Regiment,
which be chanced to have with him, and
requested her to sing few passages.
The Tyroliene smiled and complied with
as much good nature as talent and abll.
ity. The director was enraptured.
"Mademoisellel" he exclaimed, Il
was on my way to Berlin to make an
engagement with Madame Alboni, the
great European celebrity, but | have
found you and will go no further. Al
boni could suit me no better than you
do. / offer you two thousand francs per
night, and engage you for twelve repre-
sentations."
"And how much had you offered
Madame Alboni?"
"MadGme Albonil Oh, that is differ
ent; should have given her at least five
thousand francs. But, mademoiselle,
bethink you, she has an unrivaled name
and fame, while you are wholly un-
known"
yet you told me a moment ago that
Madame Alboni could suit you no better
than l. l am then entitled to the same
salary that you intended for her. "
"That is impossible, mademoiselle.
Will you accept three thousand francs"

-Four thousandY
mo"
"Then, mademoiselle, adieu. can
give no more; for as you are entirely un-
known, risk everything nothing.
You might make your fortune and that
of your family. You refuse to do SO.
Adieu."
The director reached Berlin and in
ouired for Madame Alboni He was
told that she was still in the the country,
where she had been spending the sum-
mer with her foster sister.
"Where?"
"In Tyrol"
I'm Tyrol2 At what placer"

Returning, he sought his peasant
maiden.
"Madamel' he cried you are no longer
unknown. You have played me a fine
trickl"
III Listen, Monsieur Director. You
may know me; but as you were this
morning so unwise as to resign me for
the peasant maiden, l now decline en-
tering into any engagement with you"

How the presidents Daughter Got
Another Present.

From the Louisville Courier-Jeurnal.l
| am reminded Of joke that was
played on poor man when Nellie Grant
was married. He happened in Washing.
ton about that time for some matters OF
personal interest. A wag wrote para
graph for one of the papers that this
gallant gentleman had travelled to Wash
ington for the purpose of making mag
nificent bridal present of fan to Miss
Nellie. A lengthy description was given
of the fan, and, as the writer had bril-
liant imagination, there was no limit to
the costliness Of the pearl frame, exqui-
site paintings, point-lace cover, and re-
splendent with diamonds, and monogram
Of the same precious gems. The poor
man was thus placed in very embar-
RAISING position. OF course, as such
notoriety was given to his offering, there
was no alternative left him but to pro-
cure a fan as nearly resembling the de-
scription as it was possible to find. But
OH what an inroad was made in his
finances by the fan he purchased.

Getting The Hest of His Parishion-

eEh.
From the Worcester Spy.l
Old DR.. Strong, of Hartford, was not
often outwitted. On one occasion he
had invited young minister to preach
for him, who proved rather dull speak
er, and whose sermon was unusually long
The people became wearied, and as DR..
Strong lived near the bridge, about the
time for the commencement OF the after
noon service he saw his people focking
across the river to the other church. he
readily understood that they feared that
they should hear the same young man in
the afternoon. Gathering up his wits,
which generally came to his bidding, he
said to the young minister My brother
across the river is very feeble, and
/ know he will take it kindly to have you
preach to his people, and if you will do
so will give you note to him, and will
e as much obliged to you as | would to
kave you preach for me, and l want you
to preach the same sermon you preached
to my people this morning" The young
minister, supposing this to be com
mendation of his sermon, started off in
good spirits, delivered his note, and was
invited to preach, most cordially. He
saw before him one half of DR.. Strong's
people, and they had to listen one hour
aud halfyo the same humdrum sermon
that they heard in the morning. They
understood the joke, however, and said
they would never undertake to run away
from DR.. Strong again.

Tha Care of RabIen.

A baby is a very tender thing, people
say; but most of them are very far from
knowing how tender. Imagine how ner-
vous you are in certain states-when
recovering from illness, say, when the
fall of book or the slam of a door
makes you quiver and feel faint, as if
some one gave you a blow. That is the
way a young baby feels at its best. A
puff of wind will set it gasping, its little
breath blown quite away. A noise makes
it shiver, a change of summer air makes
it turn death cold. A baby is the most
nervous of beings, and the tortures it
suffers in going to sleep and being
wakened by careless sounds when just
" dropping off are only comparable to
the same experience of an older person
during an acute nervous headache.
Young babies ought to pass the first
months of their lives in the coun-
try, for its stiffness no less than its
fresh air. But where silence is not to be
baby may be soothed by
folding soft napkin, wet in wsrmish
water, lightly over the top Of its head, its
eyes and ears. 1t is the best way to put
nervous babies to sleep. have tried it
hundreds of times for a child so irrita-

would be wet and laid over its head, the
ends twisted little till it made a sort of
skull cap, aud though baby sometimes
fought against being blindfolded in this
way. five minutes usually sent him off
into deep and blissful slumber. The
compress cooled the little feverish brain,
deadened sound in his ears, and shut out
everything that took his attention, so
that sleep took him unaware. Teething
babies tind this very comforting, for their
heads are always bot, and there is tev
vered beating in the arteries each side.

Capt. NJ. BurroaOe, Local Agent" Bah
cock Fire Ertinguishern
DEAR SIR AT your request here
with submit, with much pleasure, the
result of my experiments with the
Babcock Fire Extinguisher" as u
remedy for the "Scale-bug.r Last
year about eight hundred (SO0) of my
orange trees were SO badly affected by
the "Scale-bug" as almost entirely to
arrest the circulation of sap, and after
trying freshly-slacked lime, ashes, etc.
to kill the bug, but with no success,
the thought occurred to me that the
"Extinguisher," with certain ingredi-
ents added to the charge, would be the
most effective and economical means
Of securing the desired end. After
several experiments in testing the
proper proportions and the strength
Of the charge, 1 succeeded to my
entire satisfaction, and every tree
on which used this COM
pound was relieved at once. In few
days the bugs commenced drying up,
and the first days of Winter cleansed
the trees of any vestige of their terrible
enemy. I carefully observed if any in
jury was caused the trees by the ap-
plication, but could not see the slight
est; on the contrary the cleansing of
the bark and leaves gave them addi-
tional vigOr. From my experiments
of last year, can with perfect conf
dence recommend the compound as
used through the agency of the "Bab-
cock Fire Extinguisher" as cure for
the "scale bug" answering as it does
the very essential points of economy,
convenience and rapidity. In arrest
ing the spread of the "Scale-bug" in
orange trees, the "Babcock Fire Ex-
tinguisher" will have achieved tri-
umph only second in stopping the raw
ages Of fire. With regards, I remain
truly yours,
J. DEBATH SHORE.

CAPT. M. BURRowE: 1 concur in
the above statement as to the efficacy
of the "Babcock Fire Extinguisher
in destroying the "scale bug" on
orange trees, and recommend it to all
orchardists as the most economical
agent for ridding them of that de-
structive pest.
