HOir She Cured Him.-At last she

such coffee as he used to have at home.
Or such cOrnbread as his mother was
wont to make and bake AT dinner the

be sure his mother used to roast meat
in an Old-fashiOned Dutch tin oven, and
the piece was always done to "a turn

Those days were forever gone But he

apple pie with new cheese as his mother
used to give him. At length the long
suffering wife arose in her wrath, up
set the table, sending the dishes and
their contents crashing to the carpet,
strided over to her astounded husband,
gave him a hOX on the ear which
knocked him Oifhis chair, and remarked: /:

two ounces. Practically an egg is ami

disagreeable work of the butcher neces-
sary to obtain it. The vegetarians of
England use eggs freely. and many of
these men are so and 80 wears old, and
have been remarkably free from ILL
ness. Eggs are best when cooked four
minutes. This takes away the animal
taste that is offensive to some, but does
not SO harden the white or yolk as to
make them hard to digest. An egg if
cooked very hard Is difficult OF dlges-
tlOn, except by those with stoutstomachs;
such eggs should be eaten with bread
and mastlcated very hneiy- An egg
spread on toast is fit food for king, If
kings deserve any better food than any
body else, which is doubtful. Fried
eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg dropped into hot water
is not only clean and handsome, hut a
delicious morsel. Most people spoil the
taste of their eggs by adding salt and
pepper. A little sweet butter Is the
best dressing. Eggs contain much phos-
phOrus, which is supposed to be use
fpl to those who use their brain much.

Care Of Hogs.-HOgs love sulphur,
and a considerable amount of it is ne
cessary to keep them in fair health.
When hogs run at large and find green
food they supply themselves with what
is needed, but pigs kept i'm close pens
and fed on house slops or corn need
some more laxative food. Charcoal
should be fed to hogs frequently. Keep
a supply by them In small boxes. Mix
four quarts Of salt, two ounces OF sui
phur, and one bushel of wood ashes,
and keep constantly in the pens in
boxes. 1t tends to reduce fever, de-
strOy worms and aid digestion.

Novel Method of Advertising.

At the Pere la Chaise cemetery, near Paris, there stands in 8 conspicuous position splendid monument to Pierre Cabochard, grocer, with pathetic in- scription which closes thus "His in consolable widow dedicates this monu- ment to his memory, and continues the same business at the old stand, 161 Rue M" A Parisian paper relates that 8 short time ago gentleman who had noticed the above inscription, was led by curiosity to call at the address indicated. Having expressed desire to see the Widow Oabochard, he was immediately ushered into the presence of a fashion ably dressed and full bearded man, who asked what was the object of his visit. 'sI came to see the Widow Cabochard, sir. !" "Well, sir, here she is. ''I beg par don, but I wish to see the lady in per son." sSir, am the Widow Cabo- chard." sI don't exactly understand you. allude to the relict of the late Pierre Cabochard, whose monument I saw yesterday at Pere Ia Chaise." "I see, I see," was the smiling rejoinder.
 "Allow me to inform you that Pierre Cabochard is a myth, and therefore never had wife. The tomb you have ad- mired cost me good deal of money, quite small fortune indeed, and al- though no one is buried there, it proves frst-rate advertisement, and have no cause to regret the expense.

The Price of Lace.

The orders fer wedding lace received at Alencon, France, sometimes amount to $50, ,00O at time, and large sums are also expended for lace at Honiton, Eng land. The following particulars in re- gard to the lace trade are interesting :: For Valenciennes, made at Ypres, $50 per meter (about LII yards) is paid, but the lacemaker, working twelve hours day, can only produce one-third of an inch in week. Every piece of Alencon passes through the hands of twelve workmen. The best Brussels thread is spun in cells underground, be- cause the dry air above would cause the thread to snap. Upon the worker, as she sits in the dark, is directed one ray of light, but the thread is so fine that her delicate fingers are better guides than her eyes. Very many lose their sight, and the high pay the laceworker earns is proportionate to the acknowl- edged unhealthiness of the occupation. The hand spun thread made at Brussels of flax of Brabant costs, before it is yet made up into lace, $1, 200 per pound, and the process of manufacture more than doubles the value Old lace is more variable in price, and some of it can be counterfeited by limitations. Of some varieties, however, the secret is lost, as of Point d d'Argentan, which continued to be made on the banks of the Orne till the French revolution stopped the de- mand for time, and gave the peasants other means of earning their bread.

The Siren Fog Whistle.

The most powerful fog-signal whistle now in use is an American invention. The whistle is produced by means of 8 disk, with twelve radial slits, being made to rotate in front of fixed disk exactly similar. The moving disk revolves 2, 800 times minute, and in each revo- lution there is, of course, twelve coinci- dences between the two disks; through the openings thus made steam or air at high pressure is allowed to pass, so that there are actually twelve times 2,800 Cor 33, 60O puffs of steam or compressed air every minute. This causes a sound of very great power, which the cast-iron trumpet, twenty feet in length, com presses to certain extent; and the blast goes out as a sort of sound beam in the direction required.
 This instrument has been set up at va rious points along our own coast, where danger to shipping is imminent during the prevalence of foggy weather, and its superiority to every other form of fog signal was immediately so apparent that the English naval authorities sent for a specimen to be tried with English inven- tions at some recent experiments on the coast. It was found to be vastly more effective than anything with which itwas put in competition, and large number of these instruments were at once order ed for the purpose of establishing 8 complete chain of sound-signals round the English coast, to be used in foggy weather. 1r

" Ceal-Oil JOhmy.1

A correspondent writing from Des Moines, Iowa, says: The country is ia miliar with the petroleum bubble of years ago; how men rose in the morning beggars, and retired at night millionaires; how nabobs ecame mendicants in the breath of wind. One of the heroes of those notable days is Johnny Steele, or ''Coal-On Johnny" as he is now fla miliarly called. His history is known to all newspaper readers, and they will re- member how he went to bed one night a laborer at twenty dollars month, and awoke in the morning the heir of the richest oil we'll in Venango county, Pa. He didn't know what to do with the money which flowed from his we'll. He it was who purchased hotel in Phila- delphia at extrayagant figures, and gave it away the next day; who would buy up 8 dance-house at & big price, for the privilege of running il" one night; who would purchase a fancy team, use it once, and give it away; who bought minstrel troupe, and ran it whole sea- son for the fun of it; who never refused to lend money, nor asked it's return. He stepped from penury, through one million and half of dollars, back to pOAIu dSdAA III SAAUOSA oAO1V ulOAU1Ao' Then he came West; and now he is at work with a gang of bridge-builders in Shelby county, on the Rock Island road, at salary of one hundred and seventy five cents day. He is just as happy and contented with his frugal fare and lowly lot as when he basked in the smiles of fortunes favors. His wife clings to him in diversity with truehearted love, and accepts the situation with all the grace which characterizes noble woman. She joined his fortunes when sunshine gilded his path; she now seeks to make his pathway bright beneath the shadows of diversity. Their home is at Dunlap. Johnny says many of the stories of his wasteful extravaganza are false. His reverses came from loans made to friends, who failed to repay them. A broken bank carried down $12O,00O at one swoop, and another bank took $40, 1000. Out of the wreck of the latter he hopes to get enough to get his good wife beautiful dress and a nice new house.

That Female CabbY.

There is 8 touch of gallantry about the English cabbies, after all. Not long ago, it will Ibe. remembered, young female was arrested, in Liverpool and sent tp the gaol for having donned male clothing for the purpose of successfully plying the vocation of a cabby.. She
 so, cutting offdher tresses and assuming the garb,afg a London cabby, she main+ tained herself inI responsibility, and 7as "Billy Seymour" won the good opinion of her fellow workers. The good con duct of sf Billy 7 was acknowledged rby her masters, and the cabbies speak, in high terms of, the goodfelloYship of
 "Joly Seymour. The term, of her in carceration, which was for two months, expired recently, and a vast 'concourse of the cabbies assembled outside the jail to, give her an ovation when she came out. They had resolved to pre7 sent her with cab and horse, and the sum promised for that purpose reached a, very handsome eamount. !, All the roads in. the vicinity of the jail were lined, with ss four -w6eelers and |" hansoms, ' and there were net wanting showy wag
 onettes and a good sprinkling of "bug- gies," harnessed to fast trotting horses. Several of the cabbies were gaudily gotr ten up for the occasion, and crowds of sightseers of all ages and sexes swelled the multitude.o FS Around the massive portals of the gaol sentinels were posted, in order that |" Billy ' might not pass out unrecognized. But the cabbies were doomed to disappointment. Dur inor her form of ira1torisoDment HRi1lv" had earned the good opinion of the goal officials, and they pursuaded her to give up the whip and reins and live a more quiet life. So, instead of allowing her to be made & lion of by the expectant cab
 bies outside the jail, the officials took her out by side door, and she was soon being whirled away at express rate to the south of England, where she will doubtless gain position that her cour- age and good conduct entitle her to The news of her departure made the cabbies very huffy, but they finally dis persed in good order. a.f.- -.

The Effects of Presence of Mind.

What coolness may do in such cases as the Holyoke disaster was one well illustrated by the great German actor, Emile Devrient. The Grand Theater at Vienna was crowded. The Emperor Francis, with several members of his family, was in the imperial box. The play, Schiller's '' Robbers," had reached it's third act, when cry arose that the stage was on fire. Devrient signed at once to the prompter, who lowered the curtain, the actor stepping out in front of it ere it fell. In his clear, clarion voice, he said "There is no fire. The Emperor has been despoiled of an aigrette of diamonds on entering the theater. No honest man will object to being searched. You will pass out one by one at each several entrance and be searched by the police stationed at the several doors. Any man attempting to get out of order will be arrested" The crowd, deceived by his coolness and the charge, poured out. As each reached the door he was simply told to hurry on; and just as the last rows of the upper gallery were filing cut, the flames burst through the curtain, enveloped the auditorium, but not life was lost, though in less than half an hour after the great build ing was in ruins.

Postal Cards ana Privacy.

Since the introduction of postal cards,
 says the New York, Times, the uses to which they are applied have been steadi-
 ly increasing in number and rarity. That the amount of convenience thus
 furnished the public is very great cannot be denied. At the same time there are,
 not subsequently, certain annoyances
 connected with the injudicious employ ment of postal cards in epistolary writ ing. Of this class of annoyances, per haps the most common is that which oc- CUTS from receiving one of these missives when the person to whom it is sent would greatly prefer the privacy which would be afforded by sealed letter. ,s r.,.i
 A gentleman or lady in large city, who writes a postal card and puts it into the box with her own hands, or sends it by a messenger not supposed to gossip, is ordinarily in little danger of having what he has written made the subject of conversation among his own neighbors, Nobody near the, sender has 8, chance to peruse 1t exceptthe government officialss and they are not likely to read it, and perhaps would not know enough about the writer to understand it if they did. But when the cards gets to the other end of the route, the case may be very diff ferent. The numerous individuals who in country village sometimes assume the duties of, deputy postmasters on the arrivalIof the daily or tri-weekly mail, are not always too busy to spend little time in the acquisition of interesting in formation, or too delicate to take any means that may be convenient of D, ac- quainting themselves with their neigh bors' affairs. We do not wish to be understood as intimating that this is the case with all country post-ofices, or the majority of them. On the contrary, there are great many more of them than is generally supposed where the postmaster is very careful to have no gossip provided by means of his office. But leaving out of view the post offices, a postal card is often liable to be seen by a good many pairs of eyes before it comes within the scope of those for which it is intended and nobody who. sends one has, unless he is well acquainted with the circumstances of the party to whom it is sent. right to presume that it will not be subjected to the inspection of in- dividuals who will not hestitate. to tell all the news It contains, and perhaps a good dealamore. ;di N"fta i'.f5. i '9I99

Chinese Proverbs.

The following are few curious Chi nese proverbs: The ripest fruit grows on the toughest wall. It is the small wheels of a wagon that come in first.
 The man who holds the ladder at the bottom is frequently of more service than the one who is stationed at the top of it. The turtle, though brought in at the back gate, takes the head at the ta- ble. Better be cat in philanthropist' s family than mutton pie at kings banquet. The learned pig did not learn it's letters in day. True merit. like the pearl inside an oyster, is content to re- main quiet until it finds an opening.
 The top strawberries are eaten first. He who leaves early gets the best hat.
 Pride sleeps in a gilded crown, content ment in cotton nightcap.. rr as9E.
