Here is about fair sample Of the instruc-
ton to be found in some OF the city "agri-
cultural" papers: "rhis Is the month TO
prepare for spring work. The moving ma
chimes should be- oiled and run around the
lot few times TO sea II they are in order.
IL the corn planters work hard. they should
be sent TO the blacksmith shop and sharpen
cd. The thrifty farmer will soc that his
grindstones have fresh coat Of paint, and
that his threshing machine is well sand pa
pered."

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-02-18

A WONDERFUL CLOCK. - strange
clock is said to have once belonged to a
Hindoo prince. In front of the clock s
disk was gong swung upon poles, and
near it was a pile of artificial human
limbs. The pile was made up of the
same number of parts necessary to con-
stitute twelve perfect bodies; but all lay
heaped together in apparent confusion.
When the hands of the clock indicated
the hour of one, out of the pile crawled
just the number of parts needed to form
the frame of one man, part coming to
part with a quick click, and when COM
pleted, the ngure sprang up, seized a
nallet, and walking up to the gong,
struck one blow. This done, he return
ed to the pile and fell 20 pieces again.
When two o'clock came, two men arose
and did likewise; and at the hour OF
noon and midnight, the entire heap
ssprang up, and marching to the gong,
struck one after the other, his blow,
making twelve in all; then returning, fell
TO pieces as before.

Mas. Lo AND HER PHYSICIAN
colored citizen may acquire the charac-
teristics of the proud Caucasian, John
Chinaman may follow the customs of
"Melican man." but Lo, the poor In
dian, sticks to his legends and his
ancestral ways This was illustrated
lately in Washington Territory. The
wife of an Indian chief was sick, and
doctor, but still the illness chung to her;
she reflected upon her own case, and af-
ter much cogitation, arrived at what she
considered satisfactory solution of the
health problem. She called her hls-
band aside and confGed her views to
the noble red man who called her fond
lv his own. She said she had thought
the matter over, and did not think she'd
ever feel any better unless he killed her
doctor The squaw was the apple OF
the chieftain's eye, his own sweet Min

and invited the Aboriginal physician to
a confidential interview in the primeval,
and there, drawing his trusty tomahawk,
he suddenly cleft the professional mans
skull, producing a gap which, though
not as deep as well nor wide as a barn
door, was enough-it killed him. And
then the lord of the forest returned and
told his dusky mate, and straightway
she became convalescent. Far be it
| from us to intimate that similar course
in civilized communities would save
some sick people but that it succeeded
in Washington Territory the Indian
agent will swear.

should not be rlthlessiy invaded. Hav-
ing cold feet, Mrs Smith devised a rem
edy, and resolved, when the recent frigid
spell O. weather came on, that she and
her lord should dream the happy hours
of night away regardless Of the temper
filed it with warm water and tucked it
in at the foot of the bed. It proved an
admirable thing, and neither Mrs.
Smith nor Mr.. Smith were troubled with
cold feet for several nights. In fact, all
would probably have gone well to the
end had it not been for the miserable
obtuseness of the servant-girl. The ser
vant-g1rl had never become fully &C
quainted with the properties of steam,
and one day last week she heated the
water too much. The cork of the Jug
was driven III as far as 1t would go, and
then the jug was set upon the stove, and
when the water began to boil was car
RED up stairs and placed beneath the
clothes at the foot of the bed where Mr..
Mrs. Smith were already ensconsed.
The Smiths, husband AID wife, crlddled
their feet against the jug and were hap
PVT was SO warm and the bed was SO
cold. Sweet sleep was just casting its
mantle DER the couple, so to speak,
when there came suddenly from the
foot of the bed q report like that Of
shotgun, and Mrs. Smith, hit with aw-
full force by the cork of the Jug, leaped
screaming to the floor, shrieking for the
police. Almost at the same instant
Smith himself was nearly killed. A
volume of hot water struck him fairly,
then, raking up his back, literally plow
ing scalding furrow through the skin.
His wells as he bounded from bed were
fearful, and parting squirt from the
jug, which left his left leg parboiled
brought forth even more hideous sounds.
The Smiths capered around the room in
CONSERVATION and agony until the girl
came running in with a lamp, and sur
veyed the ruins she had wrought by
getting up too much steam in Jug.
Finally the Smiths retired again, all
bound up in cotton-batting and sweet
oil, but the jug was smashed by Smith
in his fierce wrath, and, since the night
of the catastrophe, cold feet have been
made speciality in that family.

A VERY hospitable lady, of this city,
gave party for her friends among the
Young misses and masters the other eve
ming. Round dances were proposed,
when the lady said: 81 cannot allow
YOU to have any round dances. IF any
of the boys wish to hug the girls, let
them sit down upon the tetes, and go
right at it in good earnest, but no round
dances, miud your Utica Herald.
