A Particular Hen,

Captain Jacob W. Dubois, says the
Kingston IN. W Freeman, has hen
of the golden pheasant breed, which is
very particular as to her place of laying.
She always comes in the house, quietly
deposits her egg, and goes off with q
happy, contented little cackle. If she
finds the doors or windows closed she
will walk around from one to the other
until she attracts some ones attention,
and is admitted. When she comes into
the house she behaves in the most cir
cumspect manner, like well-bred fowl,
as she is, and never says anything to
anybody or gets in any ones way. The
hen has mate in little rooster, who
accompanies her about the premises,
escorts her to the house, and quietly
waits for her until she makes her exit,
and then wanders off happy and proud
in her companionship.

Meat In Summer.

There is one protection against bad
meat that, an exchange says, we should
all do well to put more in practice, par
ticularly in summer, and that is absti-
nence. Many of the aboriginal people
of this country attained very high
physical development on a vegetable
diet; strong Scotch farmers and shep-
herds live chiefly upon oat meal; the
English laboring classes get meat only
about once week, and then little
bacon; and the Roman soldier marched
with his sixty pounds weight of armor
and "inpedinenta, and did his won
ders of strength and daring without eat
ing flesh. There is some reason in the
Esquimaux and people who live in
Arctic climates supplying their systems
with carbon from fat flesh; but why
should we, when we are roasting and
boiling and broiling and frying our
selves, through one of our summers,
roast and boil and broil and fry the
flesh of other creatures9 1t is good
summer rule to eat little meat, and to
have that carefully examined.
The evils which arise from the eating
of diseased or decaying meat have not
yet been fully defined by science, nor is
the process of their action upon the
human system yet thoroughly under
stood; but they are none the less grave
and certain. For although the stomach
has wonderful faculty for assimilating
whatever the appetite places within reach
of its action, and although epicures
notoriously like, and eat with seeming
impunity, their game SO "high" that il
is often offensive in the cooking, there is
a general consent of obseryant physicians
that decaying muscular fiber develops
certain qualities and substances which
are very deleterious to health; and We
all know that many sad instances of dis
ease and death are justly assignable tC
this cause. In one of the large hospitals
five years ago there were several en-
demic outbreaks of fever, prostration
diarrhea, and vomiting, which were
traced directly to bsef-tea made from
somewhat decompOsed meat, which, it il
to be observed, was not of disagreeabl'
taste or odor. They who suffered were
chiefly persons who were much enfeeblet
by illness.

A Rabid Trout.

A letter to the Forest and Stream,
alluding to the voracity of trout, says:
One day last week, as I was fishing in a
mountain stream for trout, made a
cast in a pool, and was rewarded with a
good strong nibble. AS [ drew my rod
back to hook my fish the top of the rod
struck limb of tree, the hook catch
ing in bush, and, not caring to wade
in the stream to loosen the hook for fear
of soaring the fish, / reeled in the line,
breaking the smell. saw the hook fall
in the water, and adjusting another, L
made another cast, instantly receiving a
good strike, and fastening my fish,
which I finally landed-a fine trout of
about half a pound weight. Imagine
nv surprise when, removing the hook
from his mouth, I saw another smell pro-
jecting, which I found to be the identical
hook had lost but few minutes before.

A Sulphur Mine.

A mine of liquid sulphur is now being
worked near Palermo, Sicily-that is,
the sulphur is being removed as it runs
from the assures in the rock, OF the rate
Of some forty or fifty tons day. The
sulphur proceeds from mine in the in
terror of the mountain, which interior is
in molten state. The laborers, it ap-
pears, are often obliged to stop up the
assures from which the molten sulphur
runs, SO as to give it time to cool sufii-
ciently to be removed, after which the
assures are again unstopped. 1t seems
that, on recent occasion, on pnstop-
ping one of the assures, no sulphur was
found, and the idea entered the heads OF
the workmen to reopen the hole by
blasting. They succeeded in re-estab-
fishing communication with the inte-
rior, but the pressure had become SO
strong during the obstruction that tho
expansion of the gas produced q terri
BILE explosion, involving a serious loss
of life,

Tight Boots and Shoes.

An exchange has the following on
"breaking in" boots and shoes. 1t is
true to the letter i
/. Never "break in" boots or shoes.
If they are not easy when new, don't
take them, for the boots will break your
feet oftener than your feet will break the
boots.
Q. If you go on breaking in " boot
leather, you will need a special last,
made with all sorts OF knobs and pro-
tuberances, to correspond with your dis
torted joints. Then you will be sorry
3. If you have large feet, admit it in
all honesty, and have your boots made
accordingly. Then you will be happy.
4. If your shoemaker don't know
enough to make easy boots and shoes,
refuse to take his work, and tell him to
learn his trade before asking your patron

A Strange Present.

The Nazaim- -ud- daoule, governor of
Khorassan, recently gave the Shah of
Persia an evidence of his affection by
sending him morsels of $500 Tur-
conan rebels killed or captured in bat
tie. Had it not been for the difficulty OF
transport, the governor would have sent
the entire heads of these enemies of the
Shah to Tcheran. The distance between
the seat of his government and the
capital, and the unusual number OF the
trophies, compelled him to resort to tho
expedient of separating the skins from
the skulls and forwarding the skins
only" Scalps in fact.

There is no doubt whatever, says an
exchange, that the cost of the average
sewing machine which sells, let us say,
at seventy dollars, is less than twenty
dollars; indeed, a leading company is
now Offering machines to the Patrons of
Husbandry for twenty-eight dollars
which to other customers are priced at
seventy dollars. There is very little
doubt that, anticipating within a few
years the expiration of their patents
and the abolition of their monopoly the
sewing machine companies ale now
pressing the sales of their war al to ,,oro

HOnle,

d Home when the hoart is distracted,
All who doth not then sigh for home?
Or who may not weep

Thro' the brain Of one fated to roam?

Or sweep DER the fathomless sea,

The emotions that swell v
In the bosom that's longing for thee?
Home-when the friend hath proved faith,

And life wears a lowering face, .rV

Home 'tis with grief and deep anguish
We sigh for thy days that are gone.

SPELL ABIE.-A short spelling match
occurred in the streets of Boston not
long ago. A ,oal cart, an ice team, and
a street car got iammed together in very
close quarters. The driver of the an
thracite van, using some opprobrious
epithets, bade the ice vender back out
of the difficulty or he would pull him
out of his ice bin. Whereupon six
feet of down East Yankee emerged from
the depths of the frigid merchandise,
