D. D.-A rather ludicrous application
of this title was made at q trial in church,
which Miss Lottie Moon, of Albemarle
county, one of the Baptist Missionaries,
relates as follows:
During the trial above mentioned there
occurred d new and rather ludicrous appli-
cation of the title ID. D., usually read
Doctor of Divinity. The acting clerk of
the court was a missionary, who had a
right to append those letters to his name.
The consul, not understanding Chinese,
found it difficult to keep in his mind the
names Of the various witnesses SO, in
order to distinguish them, in jotting down
his notes, he would give each witness some
name by which to keep him distinct from
the rest. Among others was man whom
the consul found it convenient to designate
as the donkey driver. II will put him
down as d. D., he said. Just then a gen
tleman who was acting as interpreter gave
a comical glance at the clerk. The consul
at once divining the joke, said gravely, II
mean no direspect to Dr." Of course
the court WAS cOnvulSed with laughter,
and the term ID. d. in this section at
least will often bring up visions Of GER
tain long-eared animal and his driver"

A DANDY ON THE GALLOWs.-Th fiji st

broke out he at first sided with the par

His costly garments were the lawful per-

Earl said, as he approached the block ::
Here, my friend, let my body ard my
clothes alone; there is ten pounds for thee !;
that is better than my clothes, | am sure.
And when you take up my head, do not
take off my cap" Then, laying his head
upon the block, he added: ''Stay, while I

FARM AND FIRESlDE.
ADVERTISING RATES

USING NAILs.-Every farmer who has
occasion to drive nail into seasoned oak
posts knows its liability to bend and break.
If the point be moistened in the mouth 1t
will usually drive more kindly. Oil is bet
ter. but then it is inconvenient to dip each
nail separately into it. Another point is,
that boards become loose eventually from
the rustng of nails, which, commanlca-
ting in the wood causes not only an en-
largement of the nail hole, but wearing
away of the nail itself, rendering the fence
or building shaky or insecure. This may
be prevented by heating any rough grease
until it smokes, and then pouring it over
the nails to be used. The grease will PEN
citrate the pores Of the iron, and cause the
nails to last without rlsting for an indeti-
mite period. Besides this, no difficulty will
then be experienced in driving them into
the hardest wood. The reason is that this
coating of grease prevents contact by air,
and consequently oxidation. Oxygen is
the destl oyer of iron, and moisture is the
inducing cause. Anything which is kept
from air is preserved indefinitely, and If 1T
is kept dry the effect is measurably the
same. Paint upon buildings prevents the
contact of air and moisture. 1t the whole
fence can not be painted, the heads, at
least, of the nails therein should he touched

A TENDER Touch OF SENTIMENT
Mrs. Oliphant, in her recent novel, ''For
Love and Life y shows her boundless sym
pathy for all the griefs that parents suffer
from the self-Wlll and the w1ong-doing OF
children; and she touches one SORROW that
is often borne but seldom confessed, when
she writes: ''Many volume has been writ

mother. its enthuSiasms Of hope and fancy,
it's alterations of the unworthy its agony for
the lost: but | do not remember that any
one has ventured to touch upon still more
terrible view Of the subject--the disappoint-

man as Ihaye attempted to place before the
reader-a woman full Of high aspirations
noble, generous, and perhaps an unWar-
rantable personal pride, all intensified by
the homely circumstances of life around
her-sometimes looks upon the absolutely
commonplace people whom she has brought
into the world. She, too, has had her
dreams about them while they were child
rem, and all things seemed possible-While
they were youths, with still some grace
and freshness of the morning yelling their
unheroic outlines. But a woman OF seY-
enty can cherish no fond -delusion about
her middle-aged sons and daughters, who
are, to all intents and purposes, as old as
she is. What a dismal sense Of failure
must come into such Woman's heart
while she looks at them! Perhaps this is
one reason why grandfathers and grand
mothers throw themselves SO eagerly into
the new generation. by means of which
human nature can always go on deceiving
itself. Heavens what difference between
the ordinary man or woman of fifty and
that ideal creature which he, or she, ap-

EDUCATED WATER GIRLS DOWN EAST.
At the Glen House at the Twin Mountain
House, and other famous places Of resort,
the walters consist altogether of educated
girls, students from The seminaries in the
neighborhood and daughters Of Well-to-do
farmers, and the male students from col
leges. There were among them represen-
tatives from Dartmouth, Harvard and
others less known. So great is the demand
for situations Of this kind that the list of
the Glen House was filled by February,
and one of the applicants became a con-
ductor On the railroad during the recess,
while others, who were studying engineer
ing, went right into the machine shops.
There is an extreme reserve on the part
Of these educated walters, both young men
and young Women-strict, even delicate
attention to the wants of guests, but an
entire absence of obtrusiveness. and no
effort to win sympathy or show a feeling

Of the tables were prettily ornamented by

saw any signs Of confusion or conscious
ness was upon one occasion, when going
