THE INDIANS CoYoTE.-We again
meet the Coyote among the Cahrocs of
klamath River in Northern California
These Cahrocs believe in certain
Chareya, Old Man Above, who made the
world, sitting the while upon a certain
stool now in possession of the high priest,
or chief medicinc-man. After the crea-
ton of the earth, Chareya first made
fishes, then the lower animals, and lastly
man, upon whom was conferred the power
of assigning to each animal its respect
i've duties and position. The man deter
mined to give each bow, the length of
which should denote the rank of the re-
ceiver. So he called all the animals to-
gether and told them that next day, early
i'll the morning, the distribution of bows
would take place. Now the Coyote
greatly desired the longest bow; and, in
order to be in first at the division, he de-
termined to remain awake all night. His
anxiety sustained him for some time but
just before morning he gave way, and fell
into sound sleep. The consequence was,
he was last at the rendezvous, and got the
shortest bow of all. The man took pity
on his distress, however, and brought the
matter to the notice of Chareya, who, on
considering the circumstances, decreed
that the Coyote should become the most
cunning of animals, as he remains to his
time, The Coyote was very grateful to
the man for his lntercession, and he be-
came his friend and the friend of his
children, and did many things to aid man
kind, as we shall see hereafter Ban
crofs Natiue Races.

Once on "a Time.

Once on time, in Ispahan,
There reigned very remarkable man,
Who crammed every day in his gaping nav
A whole stuffed lamb, besides pillau,
Curiously made of peacock's gixzards,
Scorpions, snails, and tails of lizards
Oh! wasn't this deal too bad
OF Rama Drama Amerazads
He fried an elephant cut in steaks;
He pottcd two hundred black rnged snakes
He stewed zebra, boiled boar,
Liked the last, and polished off four;
Scalloped a seacow, fried whale,
Framed dish from atiger's tail
Oh! wasn't this deal too bad
OF Rama Drama Amerazad?
At last the rabble grew raving mad,
SO rapidly Rama went to the bad
They stormed the palace and killed the king
In pot he soon was simmering.
They baked him then in mighty pie;
And didn't they gobble him-oh, my eye!
A very good end for one so bad

Good Joke on a Doctor.

A few days since a Western city
clerk happening to meet physician OF
the place, the latter mentioned that ht
had small claim against the corporation
for attendance upon a city patient. lie
was told to make out his bill, send it in
and it would be paid at the next meeting
of the board of aldermen. The clerk
happened to complain during the inter,
view of being little under the weather
the physician took note of his symptoms
and said that upon reaching his office he
would write him a prescription that would
set him to rights, and which he would
send by the boy who would bring him the
bill. The afternoon of the same day boy
called at the clerk office at the city hall and
left two papers, mentioning who sent them
GAIL right" said the clerk, glancing at the
papers that were thrown upon his desk
Now the chirography of most physicians
is not very plain, tut that of this partic--
ular NJ. d. was a cross between the usual
medical style and the characters used by
Chinese astronomers and laundrymen.
When the clerk came to examine the
two papers he was much puzzled to make
out which was the prescription and which
the bill. Some zig-Zag characters that
appeared upon one of the papers led him
! to think it the prescription. He took 1T
to drug store and handed it to the clerk,
who turned it in several directions and
then said, "This is from DR., is it
not?" Being answered in the affirmative
he at once became cheerful, and soon
handed the clerk a big powder to be
taken at night, and bottle of some dark
en-, kn +aL in vnnrpipn For
two days our clerk looked rather pale
about the gills, but felt that on the whole
the medicine had done him considerable
good.
At the next meeting of the board the
Doctors bill was presented, but about all
that could be made out of it was that it
called for 81. 1t was referred, as is usual,
to the proper committee, to be examined
and reported upon at the next regular
meeting, when a favorable report was
made and 81 was allowed. The next
morning the doctor came to the clerk in
high dudgeon, and said:
allow is it that you cut down my bill?
l see by the papers that the board only
allowed me ST.
The clerk said that the bill was allowed
just as made out, and to prove that it was
right hunted it up and handed it to the
irate physician. The doctor looked at it
for some moments, and then exclaimed !:
MAY be hanged if you and the board
of aldermen haven't been at work for two
weeks on my prescription, and have at
last allowed me 81 on it,"
EYES," cried the now aroused and excited
clerk, land may be hanged if | didn't
take your internal bill to the drug store,
and they allowed it there and gave me a
dose that near physicked me to death. :"
The best joke was that the druggists
clerk, when questioned about making up
the prescription, said: "When l get such
lookingpa from DR., l always
put up big powder of calomel and rhu-
barb, to be followed by black draught.
and this is the first time there has been
any fuss about it."

FARM AND GARDEN
Dairy Houses.

Proper dairy houses being indispensa
BILE for the best condition of the milk, tn.
Western Rural gives the following de
scription of dairy house, as published
in the New York Times:
The dairy house is built about four fee,
below ground; it is airy, light, high, dry
cool, and detached from any other build.
ing. 1t is smoothly plastered inside and
well ventilated. No impure air of any
kind reaches it from without, and every.
thing within is the perfection of cleanii
ness and neatness. 1t is furnished witt
open racks of lath all around it, bench
beneath northern window. and a table
in the centre. The pans, which are shall.
low ones of tin, holding about ten quarts
each, are filled to three inches in depth,
and are placed on the shelves in the racks.
The shelves are made of laths, so that the
cool, fresh air Of the milk room reaches
all parts of the pan, and speedily reduces
the milk to the desired emperature. This
is kept at about So degrees all the year
round by means of a current of cold air,
which is brought into the room through
pipes from the adjoining house in summer,
and by stove in winter.
The cream is skinned, after the milk
has stood thirty-six hours, into oaken
casks Of forty gallons each. The churn-
ing room adjoins the milk room. The
churns are casks similar in every respect
to those in which the cream is stored.
The churning is done by small horse
power run bya small pony, which, by
means of a rocking shaft, operates com
mon upright dash. The churning is
made to occupy at least half an hour. 1t
is held that first class butter cannot be
made in five minutes, by any of the
rapidly working churns. The butter is
worked by lever fixed to an inclined ia
BILE, and the buttermilk, as it is worked
out, is absorbed by sponge enveloped in
a clean linen cloth, and dipped in pure
ice cold water.

COUGHING IN CHURCH. - Coughing

coughing. But it is really very much

The Old Farm-IIouse.

Oh, dear the old farm house to mel
The homely ways, the ample cheer,
The refuge at my mothers knee
From chiidhoods every grief and fear.
And dear the memory of those days
Bathed in loves amber atmosphere,
When all our voices rose in praise,
When sire and child were bowed in prayer
But where are they,
The fond, the gay,
Who filed the great white house in May?
Gone like the birds from last years nesti
Gone as the leaves in autumn ny!
Some to the cities of the West;
Some toll beneath an Indian sky;
Some other prairies SOW and reap;
One sank beneath the moaning sea;
Some in the churchyard lie asleep,
And, quivering in the old roof-tree,
One homesick waits
The swing of gates
To watt her to heavens bright estate.

HYACINTH OFFsETs.--Several of our
customers inquire if the flowers of
Hyacinths are injured by allowing the
young bulbs to grow at the sides, OF
whether they had better be taken Off As
the'little bulbs are almost independent OF
the main one, we do not think their
growth Injuries the flowers of the main
bulb, and sometimes, after the leading
spike is gone, these bullets will give lit
tie trusses Of flowers that look very pretty,
especially if the originalspike is removed
as soon as the flowers fade. AS to the
value of these young bulbs for the pur,
pose of propagatng new ones, we cannot
speak very encouragingly. After one
years growth, they can be removed and
planted in rows in the garden, but it will
take several years to make a good flower
ing bulb. AS matter of curiosity ant
experiment we would like to have gu
friends try the growing of Hyacintl
bulbs from the young offsets, but as /
matter of profit or economy, the under
taking would no doubt be failure. Oul
friends in Holland have monopoly Of
bulb growing, which they seem likely to
keep for a long time. The ease with
which Hyacinths are grown in deep, rich,
mucky soil about HARLEM, is indeed a
wonder to US and a JOY to the good, Dutch
burghers.-V icks Floral Guide.

Partisan Girls.

"The gardens of the Tuileries are a
| drawingroom, drawing-room in the
open air, where little girls learn the art,
the prettinesses, and the wisdom of the
world, the art of coguetting, and showing
off their little graces without compromis-
ing themselves.
IL have just been listening to two of
them (seven and ten years old, who had
made up their minds to invite new
conner to join them. They examined her
well in the first place; they satisfied them
selves that she was of their set in society
then, all at once, with sprightly toss of
their heads they walked up to the bonnie
with the requisite mixture of assurance
and modesty, precisely that Of lady who
| crosses a drawing room to address an
other.
"You know the attitude: the figure
back, the skirts rounded, and set smile
rs she advances lightly on the tips of her
toes, exchanging passing chances with her
acquaintances, until the very moment
when the two skirts are about to touch
each other; at this instant she dips in her
dress with graceful courtesy, her mouth
opens like full-blown rose, an angelic
and troubled smile plays around the cor
ners of her tlattering, hooking lips, and,
all at once the compliments flow and roll
out like cascade of pearls to meet allow
of compliments of the same kind.
"The little one who settled on this step
this morning, had the deliberate, thought
less air of a coquette of ten years expe-
rience. An utter want of sincerity; she
makes use of her impressions, she exag-
gerates them, she assumes them. She is
acting part, affectionate or angry. She
is always on the stage; all at once she
turns to the bonnie and coaxes her with
little ways, only because it is pretty and
becoming to be affectionate. Another has
the short bold manners and style of a
horsewoman. A third rolls her eyes, al
ready dreamily, as if in waltz. They
chatter and chirp, spread out their dresses,
bend their figures, arrange their curls,
just as they will twenty years hence. They

their trade already; the great trouble for
their mothers will now be to hold them in

taught them to coquette ever since they
could walk. Who has ever seen here real

hair, running about and making noise2
That would shock the mother at once
these are the vulgar ways of the children
of common people; the most serious OF
her lessons has been, Behave yourself
properly Her desire has always been
that her daughter should do honor to her
bringing up; she has always scclded her
for getting dirty, for mixing with badly
dressed children; she has encouraged her
in her petty, sentimental or malicious
repartees. For her daughter, as for her
self, she holds perfection to be in grace,
in elegance, and in toilet.'-Taine's Notes

EGGs IN A HEM curious point of
inquiry among biologists has been, for a
long time, how many eggs there are in
the ovary of hen, TO determine this, a
German naturalist short time since in
stituted some careful Investigations, the
result Of which showed the ovary of hen
to contain about 600 embryo eggs. He
also found that some 20 of these are ma
tured the first year, about 1870 during the
second year, 1875 during the third, l44
during the fourth, and during the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth years, the num-
Der decreases by twenty annually; it con-
sequently follows that after the fourth
or at the most the fifth year, hens are nj
longer profitable as layers, unless it may
be in exceptional instances.
