A SOMNAMBULISTic SURGEON.

DR.. Jones' wife was awakened the
by noise in her room the other
night, and when she sat up in bed she
saw the doctor standing over the
arm chair, in the room. He had
towel tied around one of the legs
of the chair, and with the hand
saw cutting it in half, when Mrs.
Jones exclaimed f;
"Henry, what in the name of COM
mon sense are you doing ?'
"Hush," replied the doctor, ''you
will wake the patient. You hold
the chloroform to his nose while ]
take his leg of, I'm about half
through the bone now"
Then Mrs. Jones got out of bed
shook him and pinched him until he
woke. Then he exclaimed
"How's the patient %
Mrs. Jones merely said, "Come to
bed, you idiot, and stop hacking up
the furniture"
"Gracious, Maria," said the doc
tor as he collected his scattered
senses, "do you know l thought I
was in the hospital, saving off leg
that had a compound fracture ?
There's fifty dollar fee gone"
And Jones went to bed, feeling
as if he was an injured man at having
lost that money.

The END OF DOG QUARREL.-An
exchange tells pretty bit of a story,
which contains such good lesson
for children of small and larger
growth, that we give it somewhat
abridged:
"One day a fine M f)undland
dog and q mastiff had harp dis
cussion over bon-. ~ y wor-
ried away as g boys.
They were fight az ige aud
the first thing they k .s., nver they
tumb!ed into the waLer rhe banks
were so high thai they ii to swim
some distance before they came TO
landing place. 1t was very easy for
the Newfoundland ; he was as much
at home in the water as seal. But
not SO with poor Bruce he struggled
and tried his best to swim but made
little headway. The Newfoundland
dog quickly reached the shore and
then turned to look at his enemy.
He saw plainly that his strength was
fast failing and that he was likely to
drown. So what should our noble
old fellow do but plunge in and
sieze him gently, and keeping his
nose above water, towed him safely
into port. 1t was funny to see those
two dogs look at each other as they
shook their wet coats. As plainly
as words, their glances said, "We
will never quarrel again"

The Maine Farmer gives plan
for a dairy house for a farm, of
wood, prefering that material to
stone or brick. 1t says for dairy
of twenty to twenty five cows he
would build house twenty four feet
long by fourteen wide, with parti-
ton from one of tea feet, for wash
and churning room. Lath and plas-
ter milk room and side with inch
stuff to help keep out heat. Set
building on piers two feet high, SO
that air can circulate freely under
meath and make for ventilators, say
sixteen by twenty-four inches
through the floor of the milk room,
and cover with wire screenery fine
enough to keep out flies. Same
through plastering overhead, with
ventilator through the roof. Close
lower ventilators through heat of
the day and open at night. Stand
building with wash room to the south,
to keep the hot sun from milk room
in the middle of the day.
Have windows in north end. He
recommends by all means to get
vats to set milk in, instead of using
the old styled pans, and says they
are cheaper in the end, not half so
unhandy to skim and wash, and will
keep the milk at much more even
temperature, which is the main thing
in the rising of cream. He is salts
fed that more butter can be made
with the vats than from pans, anG
with much less labor.

SAYING HATEFUL THINGS.

Aunt Kitty was in bigh state of
indignation and this is what she
was saying as 1 entered the room
"Men don't do it. At least the
men l know, do not"
"Whai is it, Aunt Kitty, that men
don't do ?"
"They don't say hateful things ;
A man may call another one g
"scoundrel !" in good, out-and- out
words, or order him out of the house
but men do not say those little spite
full things that women are guilty OF
toward one another.
"Not all women, let u' hope Aunt
Kitty. Not the majority OF women,
surely, not educated, christian wo
men, l am certain"
"Too many too many - rejoined
the irate spinster, proceeding to tel
her experience after this fashion
"Why, know three houses on
this very street which some of the
neighbors dread to go into, because
they are liable to hear some petty
slur, some fling, such as you cannot
meet in any way but silence. And
some ladies IN good society, some
cultivated ladies are guilty OF this
very thing.

midst of her work, when who should

who never looks well, and she knows
1t. She cast her eyes around; and
then she said, SIS it one of the'new

She might as we'll have asked If ii

knew Anna Hyde could not spend
so much as FIVE dollars for a new
dress this winter.
"Oh, no My old empress cloth

"Oh !" said Miss Tuttle-and
that sOh' was most insulting one
"they were very pretty when they
were worn"
Anna received it in silence, bu,
after a moment said cit is not
pleasant to be obliged to economize
so but there is no help for it. !"

"you have more elegant clothes than
l do. Where you contrive to get

was under the necessity of making
