Buying n Bride.

The Albert Lea (Minn. J Standard says:
Two young men, one of them residing in
the northern part of this county, and
the other in the southern part of Steele
county, were each enamored with one and
the same young lady. The affections of
the lady were about equally divided be-
tween the two. Hard words and blows
failed to settle the difficulty. As a last
resort, the Freedom county man agreed
to relinquish all his right and title to the
fair damsel for the sum of one hundred
dollars. The other chap couldn't see it.
Freeborn county showed willingness to
do the fair thing, by then offering to give
one hundred dollars and take the dis
puted property himself Steele county
scorned the offer. Our man raised the
bid to one hundred and twenty-five dol
lars, which was not excepted. One hun
dred and fifty dollars failed to reach
him, but when the bid was raised to one
hundred and sixty dollars it proved to be
too much for his cupidity, and with
eagerness he cried out, "Take her."
At this time the expectant bride stood
looking on, an indifferent spectator, APP
parently caring not whether Freeborn or
Steele county finally came out ahead.
The winning man gave his note for one
hundred and sixty dollars, with the
brides father as endorser, and the mar
riage took place without any unneces-
sary delay. And now we understand
the parties propose to resist the payment
of the note on the ground of " no value
received"

Household HELMS.

HAM AND EGGs.-The association OF
eggs with ham is of such honored
antiquity that it would be unwise TO dis
turb it. Break eggs, then, one by one,
into pan in which ham has been lightly
and quickly browned--not dried up
and fry them a light brown on the under
side. BY this time they will have as
sumed consistency on the top and must
be taken up carefully with fish slice or
skinner, without turning, and placed
round the edge of the dish, the ham oc-
cupying the center.
GERMAN GRUTzE.-Boil two pints of
fruit in a quart of water, and when ten
der pass it through a sieve. Then boil
and sweeten it with sugar. Add half a
pound of sage, we'll soaked in cold water,
stirring the whole over the fire until the
sage is dissolved. Pour it into mould
When cold turn it out, and serve with
cream or custard.
HAIR DREssING.-A nice dressing for
the hair is said, by correspondent of the
Christian Monitor, to be cold tea. She
uses it twice day, and insures a fine
growth of beautiful luxuriant and healthy
hair, with less trouble, no danger of in
jury to scalp or hair, no expense, and in
less time than any or all of the quack
mixtures which are so loudly and per-
sistently recommended.
TEA IN CHINA.-The tea which is drank
by the Chinese is not submitted to the
manipulations through which it is made
to pass when prepared for expectation.

COLLABORATION.

To cure bridle-breaking, get piece OF
BEDFORD, four times the length of the
horse and double it in the middle, and at
the doubled end make loop, through
which pass the animals tail. Then cross
the cord over his back, and pass both
ends through the halter ring under his
chin and tie.both ends of the cord to the
trough ring, through which the halter
strap plays, the end of the halter being
attached to billet of wood. Should the
horse attempt to pull back the strain will
all be on the root of his tail before the
halter strap will become frightened, and
he will at once step forward to avoid it.
After so fixing him few times in the
stable he will abandon any such pro-
pensity.
THE best conducted experiments prove
conclusively that as destroyer of insects
and vermin, whether upon man orplants,
the most effective remedy that can be
used is carbolic acid. On small plants,
whose tender, early shoots are subject to
the depredations of the fly and worm, its
destructive effects are instantaneous. 10
use it properly, dissolve an ounce of
carbolic acid crystals in three quarts of
warm water, and shower the solution
over the plants from common watering
pot. One such application will suffice
for the time, but should be administered
as occasion requires, and a few such
showers will effectually rid the plants of
all such pests.
In order to ascertain the gain in
weight of growing cattle, an experiment
was tried as follows: A short-horn bull
calf was weighed on the 18th of April,
1874, when he was just fourteen months
