A Telegraph Story.

The story of the Buffalo operator who
was locked in the Office at dinner time,
and who had to telegraph to various
cities to get out, is surpassed by a SINH
lar occurrence which happened in De-
'troit not long since. The Free Press
tells the story: An operator was work
ing on one Chicago wire, and feeling a
desire for o toothful of the weed, quietly
interrupted the report he was sending to
instruct the gentleman who was taking
from him in Chicago to ask the other
gentleman on the Detroit wire to tell
Powers, who worked about six feet from
him, to hand him chew of tobacco.
The instructions were followed out, and
in about half minute Powers tossed
over his tobacco box, as he could moi
fail to respond to friend who had sem
for favor 80 great distance.

Dangerous HallucinatiOn.

Hallucinations are sometimes as lncon-
venient as they are foolish. Occasionally
they only concern the people who chance
to labor under them but more fire.
quently they result in complications Of
serious nature. Such case is reported
by the Rocky Mountain NeeOS as occur
ring at Toqueville, Utah. A gentleman
named Richard Fryer, imagining him
self to be Messiah, gained possession
of a revolver and then went in search of
the devil. His journey was not long
one, for he very quickly entered the
house of Thomas Batty, a neighbor, and
at once shot him through the head.
Proceeding in his terrible chase, he
next lifted child of Batty's, who was
asleep in the cradle hard by, into the
air, and shot it also; after which he
blew Mrs. Batty's brains out as she tried
to save her infant. Satisfied with his
achievements, he now sailed forth into
the street, and announced to crowd
which had gathered that he had slain
Beelzebub and several of his imps
whereupon the sheriff, thinking that it
was time for action, summoned Mr..
Fryer to surrended. To this demand
the lunatic demurred, and fight en-
sued, in the course of which the repre-
sentative of justice, with the aid of O
revolver, but an end to Flyers hallucina
tions and career at once. The principal
fact to be noted about the tragedy il
the readiness with which firearms were
produced and used throughout the hor
rible business. Everybody concerned
appeared to have loaded pistol close al
hand, and seemed anxious to use it, an(
the only thing to be wondered at is thai
so few were killed. On the same day
at Panamint, two men, named james
Bruce and Robert M'Kinley, settled {
little dispute about the ownership of I
gun by shooting each other mortally
while at Idaho, the other day, barten
der called Horan was shot and fatal.

Our New Industry.

Gen. Brisbin, of the regular army sta
toned in Nebraska, having written
many articles on the culture of trees
which we are just beginning to see the
necessity of in this part of the country,
although the Western States have for
some years been encouraging the farmers
to cultivate them by offering premiums
has written two-column article for
the New York World, in which he dis
cusses with masters familiarity the
qualities and the uses of the several
kinds of forest trees which may be sue
cessfully cultivated, and gives the rules
for growing them very much as q gar
dener's almanac would give the rules for
growing asparagus or early peas. Those
who have given any attention to the
general subject of tree-culture admit
that, in the long run, it is quite as i'm
portant to plant trees wherever there is
lack of them, as it is to plant any other
crop, and that there is no more mystery
about tree-culture than there is about
the culture of garden vegetables, the
cereals or cotton. The Importance of
planting trees for shade in the yards and
pastures of private farms and along the
public highways will be readily admit
ted by every farmer. AS an illustration
of the money value of a crop of small
trees, General Brisbin gives the history
of ten-acre field of black-ash planted
for hoop-poles. Such field may be
thinned at five years from planting, the
poles gathered at the first cutting being
worth 81, 500. Two years later the rest
of the young trees may be cut and sold
for $4,860. The total yield of the ten
acres thus planted would therefore be
Sc, 480, which is at the rate of 1925. 70 o
year for the ten acres, or $3.50 year
per acre. Land planted in walnut tim
ber-whereof, by the way, the available
supplies for cabinet work, etc., are per-
ceptibly growing scarcer-he says, will
in ten years yield more than if the land
had been planted each year in grain !;
and, moreover, crop of corn or potatoes
may be planted between the rows the
first and second years without injury to
the young trees, as the walnut strikes q
deep root and draws its sustenance from
the subsoil. In addition to these advan-
tages, the trees at three years from
planting will bear about peck of nuts
each, and there are certainly few more
delicious nuts than the fruit of the
black-walnut tree. In previous letter
General Brisbin gave some startling but
unquestionably accurate statistics con-
cerning the cost of fencing in the Uni
ted States, and it is a lamentable fact
that in New England and other portions
of the country not little good land has
been thrown out of cultivation for the
simple reason that there is no timber
adjacent whence to get supplies of fuel
and fencing, The Importance of con-
stantly renewing the supplies of timber
attached to every farm, therefore, call
not be over-estimated. The soft maple
tree, he says, is much improved by cult
walton, and at seven years from planting
will yield three ten foot rails, while an
acre of the trees at the end of the same
period will yield 5000 rails.

Household Hints,

To Cook CABBAGE. GE.-Chop the cab
bage head fine, or cut it as small as you
can well with knife. Half of an average
head is sufficient for a meal. Put it
into kettle, and pour over it about a
pint of boiling water. Cover it up and
keep it boiling steadily (not letting it
burn dry by too hard boiling) for half
an hour. Pour off what water remains
the cabbage itself supplies some water
in cooking-and pour in a teacupful-
or two if you ike-of good milk, sailing
to taste. Let all boil up together, and
it is done. If you put in considerable
milk it will be much liked if poured
over "white gems" split in two.
RICH ORANGEADE.-Steep the rinds of
six China and two Seville oranges in a
quart of boiling water, closely covered
up, for five or six hours then make o
syrup with pound of sugar and three
pints of water mix the infusion and
syrup together, press in the juice of a
dozen China oranges and the two Seville
oranges from which the rind was taken;
stir the whole well together and run it
through a jelly bag. Should sweetness
be required; add some capillaire syrup }
Two lemons must be used as well as the
two Seville oranges, but care must be
taken that the flavor of the lemons does
not predominant. A little orange flower
water may be added, if agreeable.
LEMON PICKLE - For FISH, COLD
MEAT, ETo. To one gallon of best white
French or picking vinegar add twenty
lemons; take one ounce of bay salt, one
ounce of peeled garlic, quarter of an
ounce of cayenne pepper, half an ounce
of white pepper, one ounce of mace, one
good nutmeg, two ounces of white mus
tard seed, all well powdered together in
mortar. Cut each lemon half way
through with knife, divide the powder
ed ingredients equally in the twenty
lemons, squeezing it into che middle Of
them. Place them in an earthen dish
large enough to lay them single. Bake
them till quite brown and the moisture
nearly out of them turn them hot from
the oven into the vinegar close then
down, occasionally stirring them. /
will be ready for use in ten days, but the
longer it remains the better.
BLACK DYE-To dye either wood, clotl
hair, fur, or silk. Boil the articles fol
two hours in a decoction of nutgalls, ant
afterward keep them two hours more il
bath composed of logwood and sui
phate of iron, kept during the whole
time at q scalding heat but not boiling

East India DMArfS.

Two interesting individuals have been
interviewed by a traveller in India. They
are man and woman of dwarfsh race,
often heard of as frequenting the iungles
near the station of Pemalie, in the
northwest corner of the Tinnivelly dis
trict. They thought they were hun
dred years old ; but Mr.. Bond, the first
European who has ever encountered
specimens OF the race, pronounces the
male to be about twenty-five and the
woman eighteen. Both are the same
neighbour feet six and half inches ;
but the woman round the chest and head
measures an inch more than the man.
The gentleman's portrait is painted in
very fattering colors. He is round
headed, with coarse black woolly hair and
brown skin. His forehead is low, and
his face projects like that of a monkey,
the thick-ipped mouth projecting an
inch beyond the nose. He has handy
legs, arms like those of Bob Roy, which
hang down almost to his knees, his hands
and fingers are short and clumsy, and
always bent, SO that they cannot be
stretched out straight; his mustache is 6
grayish white, and he is without beard
This sickly Caliban is mated to female
who has well formed features, is pleasant
to look at, and modest. She cooks fol
him, and only eats when he has satisfied
his hunger. They generally pass thu
night on the rocks or in cave, keeping
q fire burning for warmth, and to scar'
away the wild animals.

A Builders Lien,

A bill Justly viewed by mechanics and
builders with much distrust and appre-
hension is pending in the Connecticut
Senate, having already passed the AS
sembly. 1t provides that, unless q
builders lien is recorded within a GER
tain time and in certain manner pre-.
scribed, it shall no longer take pre-
cedence of an ordinary mortgage. The
bill is manifestly designed as protec-
tion to mortgages upon whom the
penalty of careless money lending
should properly fall, rather than upon
those who by priority of expenditure of
labor and material are entitled to the
first lien,

spring and autumn, with a "dumb-
waiter" from the cellar to lift fuel to
upper floors. Most people mquestion-
ably keep their houses too warm, and
with too little change of air. House
building is continually improving in our
country districts, and, under the present
cheaper cost of materials and labor, we
shall soon have great revival of this
art, and a gradual development of Ameri-
can architecture.
