Cured Her.

An old man up in Connecticut had poor
cranky bit OF wife, who regularly once a
week got up in the night and invited the fam
lily to see her die. She gave away her things,
spoke her last words, made her peace with
heaven, and then about eight o'clock she
got up in the usual way, and disappointed
everybody by going at her household duties
as if nothing had happened. The old man
got sick of it finally, and went out and got
coffin, a real nice cashmere shroud, a
wreath of immortelles, and with "Fare-
well, Mary Ann worked in handful of
silver plated screws. Laying the screw
driver beside the collection, he invited her
to holler die once more "Do it, said he
land in you go, and this farewell business
is over" Mary Ann is at this moment
baking buckwheat cakes for a largo and
admiring family, while they dry apples in
the coffin up in the garret.

Names of Countries.

The following countries it is said, were

signifed something characteristic of the
places which they designate.

plexion; so named because the inhabitants
were of a lighter complexion than those of

A Detroit paper has an article headed
"a Young Girl Made the Victim of a
Bogus Marriage" This is shocking. In
these days of disselute young men it is
quite bad enough for q young girl to be
made the victim of genuine marriage.
An Albany man who enlisted in the army
two years ago has already deserted seven
times. He set out, it would seem, with
the determination to do the rough deserting
OF the whole regiment, and the undertaking
does not permit him to stay at his post even
long enough at time to be shot.
A prominent Western journalist, who
recently retired from the newspaper bust
ness, is about to marry, it is said, widow
worth $500 People who are wondering
why he sold out ought to know that it
takes mighty enterprising man to manage
a daily paper and rich widow at one and
the same time.
The Detroit Free Press tells us that Mark
Twain uses silver-plated boot-jack. Mark
married fortune ana has made fortune
by his books. He is therefore abundantly
able to use boot jack of solid silver, and
his failure to do so is, to us, far more
humorous than anything he has ever writ

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, the nineteenth
better half, or rather the nineteenth better
eighty-seventh, of Brigham Young, was
expelled the other day from the Mormon
church. AS this expulsion is simply an
imperative command to St. Peter to slam
the door in Ann Eliza's face when she
approaches the entrance to Paradise, the
poor creature now has no more chance for
heaven than an ordinary Christian.
A man named Lyons attempted to elope
the other day, in Brooklyn. with a thirteen
year-old girl. If the Lyons that 60 about
seeking whom they may elope with and
silly female infancy can be restrained in no
other way, we shall have to send for Cor
don Cummings to come over and hunt them
to their lairs. A thirteen-year-old girl has
no more business with husband than a
superannuated pauper has with broken
legged elephant.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says: ga five-
legged mule is Texas object Of curiosity.

Iowa Discount.

One day last week.-Mrs. is the way the
broker tells it, although we're inclined to
think he yarns-a man came to Des
Moines note shaver, handed him note duly
signed by ''good man." and asked him if
he would buy it. The note had two years
to run. The man of money glanced at the
signature and notified the customer that he
would purchase the document if they could
agree upon terms. "Well, what will you
give fer it?' asked the seller. The broker
took his pencil and figured. When he had
completed the example he scratched his
head and muttered, '.No, that can't be COR
rect and he figured again. Again the
result didn't suit him and again lie stirred
up the capillary substance with his fore
finger, and again he "ciphered.'' The
third result appeared to satisfy him and
looking up at the customer he remarked
cat first thought I was mistaken, but the
second and third trials verify the finding of
the first. According to our rules for shav-
paper, you owe me just fifteen dollars, but

bouquet for winter. First gather your
grasses, long, dropping swamp grass oats,
wheat and in fact all kinds that will be
suitable not forgetting to have a nice
cock 's-comb, orprinces feather, fora center:
now burn your alum, and dissolve in warm
water, one quart of water to one pound Of
alum. Set away in an earthen crock or
bowl, and allow it to cool; then suspend
your grass in it, not allowing them to touch
the bottom of the crock. Leave them
twelve hours, and upon taking them out,
you will find them covered with lovely
crystals, like ice. II you want larger crys-
Gals put the grasses in the mixture while it
is slightly warm; or you can have different
colored ones by putting part in another q
vessel where some Indigo, yellow ochre,
purple ink or some lovely analine tints
have been added to the alum and water.
We have "cornucopia hanging against

on the stove and when she heard him open !,

wrapping the iron in piece Of flannel, put
it, in bed for him to warm his great ugly
feet by. The man was cold and taciturn
and cross. He crawled into bed with a
growl, and shuddered with cold as ho
stretched himself out. Then he gave yell
and jammed his head against the, head
board and screamed fire and waltzed out
on the floor and around the room ID the

England's Royal Family.
From the Boston Traveller


The Prince of Wales completed his thirty
third year ON Monday, November 9th. He
is getting well along in life, and yet the
prospect of his becoming King soon is by
no means promising, as Queen Victoria is
in health, and is only half way between her
fifty fifth and fifty-sixth year. The Prince
is aware that many of the sovereigns of
England, and of Great Britain, did not
come to the throne till they were older than
he is, or as DID, or very nearly as old.
Henry was 80 when he became King,
Stephen about 40, Richard | in his 32tl
year, John in his SD year, Edward in his
34th year, Henry " 33, Mary in her 3sth
year, James in his 37th year, james II in
his 22d year, William III in his 39th year,
Anne in her 39th year, George in his 55th
year, George II in his 44th year, George
Win his 5Sth year, and William " in the
closing days of his 65th year, the oldest
person that ever assembled the throne since
the Conquest, or before it, so far as we can
reeollect. Most of the sovercigns named
did not begin to reign;until they were older
than is the Prince of Wales-and the others
had reached to the number of years that he
knows, or were very near it. OF the six
British soyereigus of the Hanoverian line
there has been no English sovereign Of that
line-only two ascended the throne in youth:
Victoria in her 10Th year, and George III
in his 23d year. or the others, three were
old men, the least aged of them George III
being in his 44th year, time of life when
living is losing its favor, and tastes almost
as fiat as champagne that has stood open
for hours. 1t must be hard fate to come
to q throne late in life, when man has
ceased to look forward to anything, unless
it be his tomb A wise and witty French
man says that either we never get what we
desire, or we get it when we have lost all
capacity for enjoying it. This sad result
of our craving must be peculiarly sad in
the case of a prince who becomes a king at
or near sixty, and finds himself forced to
say, Amen! to the Great Kings declaration
that all is vanity. And that is the : sum
of all of the world, which is nothing after
all.''

POETRY.
A MUSSULMAN TRADITION.

Upon certain day Mohammed walked,
With Ali, his souls mate, and while they talked,
Weaving deep words as only wise folks can,
Suddenly athwart their converse broke aman,
Who, drunk with wine and wrath essayed fortnight
To grid at Ali forimagined slight,
Belching malicious jibes. The reverend sage,
Awhile unfretted, bore the others rage;
But finally, his gentle sufferance failing,
Repaid the insolent railing for railing.
Whereat Mohammed passed, as best he could,
Leaving the pair to settle up their feud.
Next time the friends met grumbled Ali: "Why
Leftest thou me to give that churl the lie
Unseconded ~ Brother, Mohammed said,
'While SANDER spat its venom ON thy head
And thou vert silent saw angels ten,
With wings ashield Tending it back But when
Thou did'st that noble reticence put off.
Returning thy tormentor scoff for scoff,
Then one by one away those angels few,
And when the last had left thee went to.''

A Revolution in Flour-Makiug

We have heretofore spoken Of the new
process in use in Minnesota and elsewhere.
It may justly be called a revolution in trade.
Briefly, the process consists in passing the
wheat through smut machine then through
the sDecorticator,o where the outer fibre
of the grain is removed; after this, grind
ing coarsely and submitting to an air-blast
which separates the finer flour composed of
starch mostly, from the coarser or middings.
which contain all the saccharine and other
nutritive properties of the wheat. These
iniddlings, thus purified. then ground, form
ing the .sNew Process flour.
The idea is OF European origin, but has
been vastly improved, aud is still In course
of improvements in Minnesota. BY the new
process, sixteen pounds more of flour are
produced from the quantity Of wheat re-
quired to make a barrel of -four. In quality
the new flour is vastly superior to the old.
Spring wheat. by this process, viii make
superior -four. More stones are required,
as the running is slower, but the power
will make as much flour rs formerly in
consequence Of rhe diminished speed. In
price, the new process -four commands fifty
cents more than that which f1rmerly ranked
as the best.

hunter, one night undertook to entertain a
company of bar-room settlers with the mar

with six inches of snow and frozen rain,
sufficiently strong to bear his weight. In
the morning he discovered the track of a
deer, and started after it with the deter
mination of running it down. After de-
scribing the course taken, and detailing the
different incidents that occurred during the
chase, he said that about noon he felt some
what weary and hungry, and standing his
gun against fence, he jumped into a corn
field and pulled some roasting ears, on
which he proposed to make meal.
