Disguised Serenaders.

THURSDAY night party of serenaders
started out from the Russell House for the
purpose of paying their compliments, in
the shape of a serenade, to Chicago belle
who is at present visiting some of her
friends on Woodward avenue, in this city.
Led by one of their number who claimed
to be thoroughly posted" the party
marched up Adams avenue, hating in
front of a residence which the leader OF
the serenaders pointed out as the one
which contained the beauty. Forming
a circle Immediately under the supposed
bay window they sang one verse of Come
where my love lies dreaming" and paused
for moment to see whether there would
be an acknowledgment of the melody on
her part. But there was none 1t was
then decided to sing one verse of a second
serenade, which was accordingly done
with all the power of their united voices,
but still there was no response Another
pause and brief consultation followed,
during which it was decided to conclude
the serenade with Good night, fair lady,,
The song was commenced and everything
went on smoothly until it came to the
lines, we're going to leave you now,"
when suddenly and without the slightest
warning the gas was turned on, in full and
pail of water was quickly raised out of
the window, and its contents poured upon
the serenaders by an elderly lady, who in
few words explained to the scattering
Ministries that there hadn't been young
lady in the house for ten years." and that
"she wasn't agoin' to have her nights rest
disturbed by lot of shiftless, moon-struck
youngsters The water put damper on
the carols of the serenaders, and they kept
their promise by leaving in haste.-Detroit
Free Press.

tempting. The brown fluid which they
excrete, too, makes their odor any
thing but savory. But when they
have been rinsed they look much
better, and their odor entirely for
sakes them. When they have been
scalded they assume a reddish hue,
not unlike lobster, and look quite pal
atable. They make soup of such ex-
cellent flavor that with little pepper
and salt it is hard to distinguish it from
beef broth. They have sufficient fat to
require no additional grease to enable
one to roast them properly, and can be
prepared in oil to make an excellent
dish. They can be preserved, too, either
by drying in Jumps or masses; or by
pounding them into powder, which
serves to make a very nice bread. The
professor was of opinion that the manu-
facture of this kind of flour would be
good industry for the people in the af-
flicted sections. In coming up he had
brought a bag of hoppers with him, and
some of his friends had tasted them and
been agreeably disappointed. He had
received letter from . friend at War
renton, who some time ago took a liking
to the insects, and who wrote that he in
tended to have them served up every
day SO long as the season lasted. His
sick wife was also very fond of them.

Shrunken FIannels.

VISITING fulling mill gave me an
idea how not to wash flannels. The cloth
in the fulling mill lay in long trough,
where, bathed in lukewarm water, it
was slapped gently back and forward
against board until sufficiently thick
ened for the next process. The cloth
was gradually passed forward from the
trough in large folds, SO as to keep it
wet. If flannels are washed quickly in
water as hot rs the hand will bear, then
shaken out and dipped at once into
scalding water, then shaken a second
time and hung to dry, without delay,
they will last for years without shrink
ing or fulling. One difficulty remains,
which is apparently insurmountable in

by the investigations of Mr.. Emer-
son, all English chemist, it appears that
the fly is good for something besides milk
and molasses pitchers and spiders.
Every one is familiar with the usual
gymnastics of nausca don,estica after
alighting, the rubbing of the hind feet
together, then hind feet and wings, then
the fore feet By these movements the
animalcules, which are in impure air and
which adhere to the fly as i, circles about
a room, are collected together and eaten.
Thus it is constantly at work removing
the seeds of disease. Leanness in fly is
prima facie evidence of pure air in a
house, while corpulency indicates foul
Wallpaper and bad ventilation.

As RED CLOUD and Spotted Tail, fol-
lowed by the usual crowd that they at
tract, passed along one of the streets adj
jacent to their "lodge" one day this week,
one of the fair residents was vigorously
combing her "store hair" having it fas-
tened close to the side of the window. See
ing the operation from the other side of
the street, Red Cloud suddenly, stopped,
giving out several of those pleasant grunts
expressive of admiration, and said:
" White squaw take big scalp; me want
white squaw." The fair scalper seeing
the attention of the crowd directed to her
window dropped the curtain, and thescen
closed. Washington Tribune.

HydrOphObia.

IT is generally supposed that hydro
phobia is summer evil. The best, if not
the only, way to prevent the spreading
of this horror is to make the people ac-
quainted with the insidious and varied
symptoms of it, especially in its incipi-
ent stages, when it seems harmless, but
is communicable.
The real nature of hydrophobia is a
mystery to the most learned doctors. 1t
is known, however, that it can only be
communicated by bite. The poison is
in the saliva and must be mixed with the
blood of the system to be transmitted.
This is rule admitting of no exceptions.
There is no animal exempt from liability
to this disease, but the dog is, of course,
most liable to it. M. Bouley, French
veterinary surgeon of great repute, gives
these precautions:
Beware of dog which begins to be sick
All sick dogs, as principle, must be suspected
Beware especially of one which is sad,
morose, and seeks for solitude; which does
not know where to rest; which goes and
out reason; whose looks are dull and gloomy,
and whose bright expression is lost.
Beware of the dog which looks about and
attacks imaginary phantoms.
Beware of one which is suddenly too af-
fectionate, asking for your caresses by his
pitiful and repeated cravings.
And thus you will protect yourselves from
dangers to which you may be exposed in
your homes by dogs kept as family pets.
The bark of the mad dog is thoroughly
characteristic; so much so, indeed, that any
one familiar with it can decide with certain
ty the presence of a rabid dog when this
barking is heard 1t is not necessary either
that the ear be long exercised to familiarity
with the sound to obtain this certainty of
diagnosis Also: Instead Of the normal and
successive barks it is hoarse, lower in tone,
prolonged, and not so strong. After the first
bark made at full strength series of five,
six, seven or eight others Immediately sue
coed, lowered in strength and thrown out
from the throat.
Once let the poison get into the system
and it cannot be cured. The patient
must suffer and die. But often its alb
sorptlon by the blood Is prevented, some
times by sucking the wound. Better to
take it into the mouth for a second than
leave it to run riot through the blood
Cauterization, if prompt and thorough,
is an almost sure cure. To sum up all
that can be said on this point, NJ. Bouley
observes that IN the presence of rabid
wound one must Immediately, without
losing moment, prevent the absorption
of the virulent saliva by squeezing the
edges, by washing the wound, by suction
with the mouth and the cup, by the ap-
plication of the ligature, and, as soon as
possible, by cauterization with the actual
cautery or some chemical agent.
This information deserves to be
needed, and we call attention to it in adj
vance of any mad dog sensation on the
principle that AN ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of e."-CAscaqo
Journal.

Bees Swarming at UnseasonaDle
Hours,

THE Bee World (Rome, Ga) says: Bees
will sometimes swarm at very unseason-
able hours when the fever is strong upon
them, or they have been held in check
by bad weather, or the Intervention OF
the bee-tender. We once heard a COM
motion in our apiary between the hours
of eleven and twelve p. M, and OH gong
to see the cause saw swarm issue from
a hive that had been hived the day be-
fore, and not liking their quarters they
had proceeded to leave them, even at
this unreasonable hour. We have seen
such hives swarm before sunrise IN the
morning, or after sunset in the evening
In fact, when they have concluded to go
they are going if the proper measures
are not taken to stop them. In most
cases an examination will discover two
queens in the hive, in others the hive has
a bad odor about it, or the queen has
failed to go into the hive. Careful
thought has always revealed to us the
cause for most of the actions OF these
little fellows under such circumstances.

IT is often remarked by strangers visiting
our State that we show larger proportion
of good horses than any other State in the
Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons: in the first place, we breed
from the very best stock; and in the second
place, our people use Sheridan's Caoal1y
Condition Porders, which in our judgment
are of incalculable advantage
