One day last week q little boy Who hai
been standing for some tine iIi front Il I
drug store in Baltimore, enviously eyeinl
q large reel, we'll provided with aSimmy

was fastened to the top Of the counter
summoned up courage enough to walk
in and ask for few yards with which q
tiy his kite. The Doctor bears the repu,
tatiOn Of being goOd-natured man, full
Of humor, and very fond Of the little ones,
but the youngster approached him at .
time when he was out OF his usual mood,
and he consequently gave "NO" for his
answer, The urChin had made up his
mind to have some OF shat cord" any
how, and he got ii. On Thursday morn
ing the boy entered the store, accompanied
by another boy and dog. Boy No. 2,
having placed bottle upon the counter,
demurely asked for five cents worth Of
"sirup quilts and Pollygolie,P and while
the doctor was filling the order boy No, l
was tying the end Of the cord 70 the dogs
tail. When the man Of medicine returned
to the counter, the reel was flying like
fury. The doctor quietly reached Tor a
pallet knife, and having hung himself
over the counter, made desperate whack
at the Uranium Of the yodngster, who, he
supposed, vas sitting on the floor helping
himself, but l6l TIC boys and the dog
,"Bouncer" were not there, The doctor
having tried in vain to stop his reel, was
obliged to give It up on account Of the
heat L communicated to the palm Of bis
hand. When he reached the door he be-
held the boys upon the sidewalk about
Two blocks of, and "BOuncer" in the mid

Clean Out the Cellar.


WHO that thinks of the first of May
day but associates with it, in his mind,
e-cleanings As cleanliness is next
to godliness," SO is pure atmosphere
next to healthfulness. As we purify and
garnish the walls of our houses, to add
to our lives new pleasures from the
bright reflections from these surround
ings, so don't ignore the cellar, lest 1t
send up its noxious gases to destroy the
health of the occupants. The cellar is
generally the most neglected part of the
premises, while it should be the most
carefully looked after and kept scrupu.
lousy free from all putrefying substances
mold or fungus growths. ID. -.
All vegetables should be assorted, or
better still, removed from the cellar, in
the spring, especially if it is to be used
for the dairy, as milk and butter are ex
tremely sensitive to the presence of any
musty odors, and their flavor will be ut
terly DESTROYED amid such surroundings
when the. noxious gases will be unde
tected in any other way. Every movable
board should be thoroughly scrubbed
aired and dried before being returned. II
this be done, with a good coat of white
wash upon the walls and sufficient VENT.
lation, many undesirable results may be
avoided. e-v-.. ...
If vegetables are allowed to remain IL
the cellar, they should be placed above
all dampness in as even temperature
and in as cool place as possible, there
by preserving their nutritive and keeping
qualities as long as may be desired

How He Left Town.

THE Vallejo (Cal) Chronicle relates the
following incident concerning Vallejo
minstrel; When we remarked in Fri
days issue of the troubles encountered
by the Vallejo minstrel troupe at Suisun,
Cal, that they were totally busted, we
were not strictly accurate. One of their
number reveled in the possession of one
dollar and forty cents. As soon as tine
fact spread among the remaining men,
bers of the company every man of them
made dash to borrow it. This capital
ist, however, didn't care about going into
the banking business just then, and to
get rid of the opportunities decided to
desert. He made break for the coun-
try road, with the calculation of chang
ing his minstrel part and assuming the
character of Weston in his great walk
ing feat, with Vallejo as the place for the
curtain to drop. He found the road ex-
tremely level, and considered it the best
walking he had seen for some time. The
scenery, after while, seemed little
monotonous: but then he wasn't travel
ing to inspect the beauties of the land
scape, and the road still continued as
fine as ever. Just as he was beginning
to think that 1t was time to see Vallejo
heave in sight morning began to dawn,
and, as the gray light made objects more
visible, what was his dismay and horror
to see the town of Fairfield near By, and
himself in the middle of the Fairfield
racetrack! He had been walking around

fatally; but the fencing masters have
done much TO mitigate the dangers of
modern encounters by teaching their
pupils 10 pink lightly on the upper part
Of the chest or arms; indeed there have
been but six fatal duels in France these
twenty-five years. In old times, also, the
formalities to be observed at the place Of
meeting were numerous and solemn. Now.
adays the principals and seconds exchange
but one bow on meeting, and the sword
salute which used to precede the clink-
ing of the foils has been suppressed alto
gether. 1t was cnce considered gross
breach of manners and humanity for the
duelist who had wounded his enemy to
leave the field until the latter had been
carried off; in these times it has become
accepted that the victor had better leave
the field as quickly as possible and not
seek to speak to his victim unless he
feels in the wrong and means to apollo
gize. He. however, owes his victim an
early visit, and is expected to leave
cards on him every morning so long as
he is in danger, and at least once week
during the conva!escence. Almost the
only binding law of old duels which has
fingered to this day is that which abso-
lutely forbids principals to say single
word to each other on the field. A duel
was nearly stopped six months ago be-
cause one of the parties shouted to the
other, in lunging, Gard rousr' The
seconds threatened to retire and insisted
on an apology and promise of silence
the which, by the way, was scIupulously
kept, for at the next bout the man who
had said "Gard pous" measured his
length on the grass.-PdA Mall Gazette

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

CvRBoLIc ACID very highly diluted is
good to restore house plants. 5--
sUET CAKE.-One pound OF sust
chopped fine, one pound OF currants or
raisins. Chop the raisins. Take three
quarts of wheat -four. Mix all together
Use little salt. Mix with cold water to
stiff dough. Roll thin and bake. Eat
with butter. ..s
THE following is good cure for scurvy
legs among fowl: Take sulphur, two
ounces; charcoal, pulverized, fourth
ounce; train oil, enough to form paste.
Apply with the hand by rubbing well in.
Allow it to remain for three days; then
wash off in mild weather with good soap
suds and repeat the dressing as often as
it is necessary. .-
To DESTROY CABBAGE FLEAs.-Finely-
powdered dry-slaked lime is effective.
SCOT is a good remedy. So is fine bone
flour moistened with a solution of car
bonic acid and then dried. Bypersisting
in the use of either of these remedies the
pests may be kept at bay.
FRIED CucuMBERs-Rub the cucum-
Der well when washing; slice length
wise; lay the slices on cloth or drainer;
sprinkle with salt and leave for half
hour. Then, having some butter or lard
boiling hot, dip in -four your slices and
fry until brown. The butter must be
kept to the boiling heat all the time. To
be eaten as soon as possible after taken
from the fire.
MIXED PIcKLEs.-These do not consist
of cucumbers alone, but of beans, radish
pods, martynias, cauli1owers and young
corn when very small, each gathered and
stored away in time, to which small
portion of alum has been added. The Gu.
cumbers are used after they are grown and
have become yellow. Pare, slice length
wise and cut in any fancy shape, sprinkle
with salt and very little alum-say a
teaspoonful to pint of salt. Let stand
twenty-four hours; then, having fresh
ened the other articles, place all together
in jar; pour on hot vinegar; let stand
one week; then drain this off and add
fresh vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed
and pepper.
LETTUCE is capable of many changes
as to preparation for the table. An ex-
cellent dish may be prepared as follows:
First, have nice heads of lettuce, tender
and crisp; wash and cut into shreds, or,
if preferred, into quarters; have ready
some cream to which small bit of but
ter and some salt and pepper have been
added; heat this to the boiling point and
pour over the lettuce, covering for few
moments. This is almost a dish of green
peas, which comes in long before We can
have these favorites of the table.
To Color REp.-For one pound of
goods take one ounce of pulverized coch.
meal, one ounce of cream of tartar, two
ounces tincture of tin. Soak the coch-
meal twenty minutes in one quart of
warm water; have ready in boiler
enough soft water to cover your goods
nicely, let it come to boil, stir in the
cream of tartar and tincture, then the
cochineal and put in your goods. Let
them scald thirty minutes or until dark
enough. Rinse in clear, warm water and
dry in the sun.

How to Obtain Eggs.

Do NOT be all the time dosing and doc
toring your fowls. Let nature have
chance to act on her own account. When
fowls have a fresh, tender grass run
they require no other vegetable food.
Give scraps from the table, but give
them as they are, with no extra season
ing. Pound clam and oyster shells until
they are in chunks a little larger than a
kernel of corn and keep them constantly
supplied with this very necessary article
at all seasons of the year. Let them have
places of loose fresh earth to scratch and
wallow in.
l have no patience whatever with the
great, awkward, lazy Asiatics that move
as if it were a misery to stir; ungainly,
overgrown bipeds, that eat through your
mealbin to little profit. We have a
flock of brown Leghorns that will lay
regularly on little else than grass They
are the smallest feeders and the greatest
layers ever saw. Good, sweet, fresh
grass is the one thing needful for fowls,
and supplies their digestive organs with
all the lime or iron they stand in need Of
When fowls are healthy and have clean
grass runs they will not eat grain OF
meal in the morning, but prefer a good
race over the knobs in the damp past
ures in search of insects, and will look
for substantial lunch of corn or meal
about eleven O'Clock, and a good hearty
supper at night. Study into the habits,
nature and requirements of your tiocks,
you who banker so after fresh eggs, and
my word for it you will have an interest
ing book ever open before you; and do
not wait until the very moment you
want eggs before looking up your fowls,
but have an eye to the business six
months ahead.
Do not tarry until the spring of the
year when the " fever is prone to rage
high, but exercise forethought and Sc
cure your birds season beforehand;
then if you exercise the necessary care
you will need no written recipe to make
hens lay, nor treatises on diseases of
fowls, but will be master of the situation
yourself. The birds themselves will
teach you their needs if you are an apt
scholar.-C0r. Country Gentleman.

that anybody can drive them into Their
graves and cover them up if they will
only try"
The Kansas City Journal Of Commerce
gives plan nearly similar to the above
adopted by the farmers Of Oxford town
ship, johnson County, to destroy grass
hoppers or SO diminish their numbers as
to reduce their ravages. Several expert
ments show that by ditching and driving
the grasshoppers into the bitches they
can then strew straw over them and
burn them or cover them up and thus
destroy myriads of them. One farmer,
Mr.. Riley, with the assistance OF his
wife and children, last week destroyed
over two bushels of them in this way in
day and half. Thursday night a
public meeting was held, at which the
subject was discussed and the methods
employed and their relative success
stated, and the meeting resulted in de.
termination of the farmers of that town
ship to cooperate generally in the ditch
ing method.
