ON TILE WRONG LILY.

A certain Lincoln county huckster,
who deals principally in butter and
poultry, invariably asks little more for
these luxuries than any of his neighbors.
When asked his reasons for so do
ing, he always replies after this fashion
"Well, sir, that's IN extra quality of
butter. 1t was made by my wife's aunt,
sir-one of the best housekeepers in the
State Those chickens are superior
article, sir. They were raised by my
wife's aunt, sir, and what she doesn t
know about raising chickens, aim worth
knowing"
This peculiarly has been remarked by
his customers, and they are in the habit
of commenting on it quite freely behind
his back. The other day very solemn
looking individual entered the store,
and, walking up to the basket of eggs, in
CURED:
"What do you ask for eggs p
90 Fifteen cents dozen, was the bland
reply.
Fifteen cents?" exclaimed the mel
ancholy customer. "Why, / can buy
them anywhere at ten-but maybe
your wife's aunt laid these eggs 2"
The owner of the hen-frllit hung his
head, looked thoughtful a moment, and
replied:
Take 'em along at ten. "-Fayette-

ERCIT TREES

Fruit trees affected by fungi, either on
the limbs or roots, may be effectually
cured by close pruning the roots and by
adding small quantities of well rotted
manure around the roots. This treat
ment for the roots, when all the diseased
parts of roots are cut off and the head of
the tree pruned pretty severely-always
to be careful when cutting off branch
not to leave snag of three or four inches.
In cutting off branches they should be cut
close to the main stem or branch. These
cuts should be neatly smoothed with a
sharp knife. / consider that all fruit
trees can be made proof against the fungi
by careful pruning, and not by allowing
the branches to be crowded. Clean cul-
ture is also one of the great secrets in
fruit culture; and from several years OBJ
servation in various localities in the
South, fungus has only affected diseased
and uncultivated trees. Ny mode is to
cultivate the orchards once or twice a
year, until the trees commence to bear;
after this there is but little culture re-
quired-only to keep the big weeds and
rank grass cut down around the trees.

PRECIOUS STONES

In former ages most precious stones
were supposed to be endowed with me-
dicinal properties and virtues, and among
them jasper took the lead in value. It
cured feyers and dropsies, stopped hem
orrhages, baff1ed the effects of witchcraft,
and promoted parturition. Emerald jas
per was pre-eminent in these qualities,
and, moreover, insured chastity and con-
Thence to the wearer, on which account
ecclesiastics wore emerald rings. The
turquoise of Turkish stone was supposed
to have many and various good qualities
that made it second only to jasper in
popular estimation. Shylock's ring that
he would not have lost IS for wilderness
OF monkeys, was turquois. This
was believed to strengthen the sight and
spirits of the wearer, to take away all en-
nifty, and reconcile man and wife, and to
move when any peril was about to fall
upon the wearer. However, the most
wonderful virtue of all was that it
protected its wearer from injury from
falls, SO that however serious the danger
the stone only broke, and the wearer es-
capped unhrrt Toadstone was a cure for
many disorders. Agate rendered athletes
invincible, cured the sick, and enabled
its bearer to gain the love of all women.
Amber was good against poison, and it
is still priced for its electrical qualities =
qualities which take their name from it.
Amethyst was an antidote against drunk
enness, and If the sun or moon was en-
craven upon it it was a charm against
witchcraft. Bloodstone checked bleed
ing at the nose. Coral hindered the de-
lusions of the devil. Crystal clouded if
evil was about to happen to the wearer,
and it was formerly much used by for
tune tellers. Diamond was an antidote
against all poisons. Opal sharpened the
sight of its possessor, and clouded the
eyes of those who stood about him.
Ruby changed its color if any calamity
was about to happen to the wearer of it.
Sapphire possessed the same virtues as
the bloodstone. Topaz cured and pre-
vented lunacy, increased riches, assuaged
anger and sorrow, and averted sudden
DEATH When such blessings as these
were supposed to fall to the lot of the
possessor of one of these precious stones,
who can be surprised at the value set up
on them?

CONVERSATION.

A great takers secret is his courage
and presence of mind. The god of
gabble helps those who help themselves
to our ears and time. Oh, tongue-tied
friend, what a fool you are, with your
stammering and your rush of blood to
the cheeks, your mistimed modesty and
miserable struggles to be accurate !
Mere praters are bores. Can anything
be more embarrassing than the awful
silence which sometimes falls down like
an enormous wet blanket upon a COM
pany, left to look idiotically In each
others faces, and horribly to hem and
haw? Is not your gabbler, he or she, a
beatitude then of vowels and consonants!
Your part of the work is but small-only
a eyes" dropped here and there to
keep things bobbing. Sweet then Is the
sounding brass-sweet then the tinkling
cymball Is it at dinnerg Is not any
noise better than clatter of knives and
forksl Or, if it be at tea, a jingle-jangle
of the spoons2 Or in the evening circle,
better by far than the thrum of the
piano and the chirp of the family So
pranol So when we are sometimes fore
warned that Miss Multiglott is ''com-
ing," and that she viii talk us to
''death, we are not in the least fright
ened, but rather consoled. We like her
simple, honest chat She will tell Us
about our neighbors. She will tell us
something new and interesting; for it Is
astonishing what queer, odd things these
petticoated fetchers and carriers pick up
in their constant trots.

P4RADOXES.

Water thrown into red-hot metallic
vessel does not boil, as we should ex-
pect, but quietly gathers itself together,
forming more or less perfect sphere,
and In that condition floats about grace
fully on the hot surface as it slowly evap-
crates away. If at the same time very
vaporizable substance, as liquid sui
phuric acid, is thrown in, the water may
actually be frozen In the red-hot vessel.
If steam from water boiling at 212 de-
grees is passed into a solution of salt
water, the temperature of the solution
steadily rises. and passing 212 degrees,
reaches the boiling point of the solution;
finally the latter also boils at tempera-
ture as high and even higher than 24t
degrees, according to its nature. There
we have the extraordinary result of OBJ
tanning higher temperature, say 25G
degrees, from lower one, viz: 212 de
grees.

BUYING BUTTER IND EGGS.

The flavor of butter can be recognized
even when it is adulterated on q large
scale. Pure butter, put on the tongue
melts rapidly, without producing any
sensation of granulation when grease
has been added it melts more slowly, and
censes, at the moment of the fusion of
the last parts, a sensation of granulation.
The smell of kitchen grease is easily
identified, but it is not the same with
hogs lard. Good butter is always of
beautiful uniform yellow, while adulter-
ated butter is paler, and shows streaks
resulting from the imperfect mixture
with the grease. Butter ON which one
can see layers and streaks may nearly al
ways be considered as adulterated. If
knife is passed rapidly over pure butter
smooth surface is the result, which takes
rough appearance when there is any
adulteration.
The shell of an egg is porous, and the
oxygen of the air goes through the shell
and keeps up kind OF respiration. An
egg soon becomes stale in bad air, or
in dry air charged with carbonic acid
Eggs may be dried, and made to retain
their goodness for long time; or
the shell may be vanished, which ex-
cludes the air, and then, if kept in a mod
crate temperature, they may be kept
good for years. French poultry raisers
are very successful, and ship millions of
eggs to England annually. Fresh eggs
are more transparent at the center, old
ones at the top. Very old ones are not
transparent in either place. In water in
which one-tenth of salt has been dissolved,
good eggs sink, and Indifferent ones
swim. Bad eggs float in pure water.

Mr.. Horace Wilkinson, of Sevenoaks,
Kent, England, claims to be the owner
of the skull of Oliver Cromwell. The
Protector died on the Sd of December,
1868, In his Goth year, and was buried
with great pomp in Henry Wis chapel
in Westminster Abbey on the Odd of No
vember, after lying in state at the Somer-
set House, at an expense of 100000.
The coffin which contained the body had
been privately deposited in Westminster
Abbey before, and it was only to his effi-
gy these costly honors were paid. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Wilkinson that after the
Restoration Cromwell's body was eA-
humed and hung at Tyburn, and then
buried beneath the gallows, hut the skull
remained on the top OF Westminster
Hall, and, having been embalmed, defed
the atmosphere for twenty-five years,
when it was blown one day and picked
up by the sentry. 1t was then pur
chased by Mr.. Cox for museum, who
sold for f25O. The spear-head that pro
trudes through the skull is covered with
rust, and the skin resembles hard, dry
leather.

HEA1rHFU1sEss OF LEMONS.


When the people feel the need of an
acid, if they would let vinegar alone and
use lemons or sour apples, they would
feel Just as well satisfied and receive no
injury. And suggestion may not come
amiss as to a good plan when lemons are
cheap in the market. A person should
in those times purchase several dozen at
once and prepare them for use in the
warm, weak days of spring and summer,
when acids, especially citric and malic,
or the acids of lemons and ripe fruit, are
so grateful and useful. Press your hand
on the lemon and roll it back and forth
briskiy on the table to make it squeeze
more easily, then press the juice into
bowl or tumbler-never use tin-strain
out all the seeds, as they give bad taste.
Remove all the pulp from the peels and
boil in water pint for dozen pulps to
extract the acid. A few minutes boiling
is enough then strain the water with
the juice of the lemons put pound of
white sugar to pint of the juice boil
ten minutes; bottle it, and your lemon
ade is ready. Put in teaspoonful or
two of this lemon syrup into glass of
water, and you have cooling and health
full drink.

Government Receipts md Expendi'
tures-The Indian Delegations BE-
coming Dissatisfied "A Portion Of
Them Change Their Quarters WITH
out Permission, Etc, Etc.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Sioux
delegations are becoming more and
more dissatisfied, and in some respects
without reason. Both the president
and Secretary Delano are understood
to be determined no step shall be taken
in regard to opening the Black Hills,
which is not just to the Indians, ana
fully in accord with the stipulatlons OF
existing treaties.
The Sioux chiefs are, however, very
suspicious of the Indian bureau, OF the
agents who came on with them, and
especially of some of the Interpreters
who are here in the interests OF the
agents. General Cowan shows every
disposition to give the Indians full OPP
portunity to communicate with those
they believe to be friends, through
their own interpreters. There have
been efforts in other quarters 10 pre-
vent this.
Seven of the Indians, including Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail, left their quar-,
tiers to-day and went over to the ola
hotel, in spite of the refusal OF the III
dian office to give them permission.
They have also notified the commits.
sioners that they don't expect to be
ready to talk formally about the BlacB
Hills for week or ten days, and not
i'm any event till some other questions
they have in hand are first settled.

ternal revenue receipts have been
above the estimate. The secretary OF

Since the trouble between the whites
and negroes last Friday seven colored
and two white persons have been
killed. 1t is not known how many

though there is no doubt most of the
