Ingenious Honesty Of 4 Hack
EiSN.

The clerk ola merchant at Osaka.
Japan, went to Kioto on business Of
his employer, and receivedone thou
sand yen to carry back to Osaka
Having been detained longer than
he. expected, he missed the steamboat,
and being anxious to complete his
journey as quickly as possible, took
a jinrikisha, intending to travel
through the night and reach Osaka
before daylight. On arriving at a
village a few miles from his destina-
ton, about three q. H., man with
drawn sword stopped the vehicle and
demanded the one thousand yen,
stating that he had seen the youth
receive it at Kioto. After some de-.
mur the clerk took the money from
his bosom, and was about to hand
it to the robbcr, when the jinrikisha
coolie snatched the bag and made of,
leaving the vehicle, the clerk and
the robber in the middle Of the road,
the two latter as speechless as the
former.
The knight Of the road, finding
himself foiled, departed in the direct
ion opposite to that of Osaka, to
which city the youth hastened, after
abandoning his first thoughts Of
jumping into theriver. arriving
at the house of an uncle he acquaint-'
ed that relative with his adventure,
and expressed a desire to die, But
he was spared, for it was discovered
that the coolie, instead Of running
away with the money, had taken 1t to
the police station. lie was appro-
priately rewarded with share of the
money he had so cleverly saved.

Ne have probably all of us met
with instances in whicha word heed
lessly spoken against the reputation
of q female has been magniEed by
malicious minds until the cloud has
become dark enough to ovcrshadow
her whole existance, TO those who
are accustomed-not necessarily from
bad motives, but from thoughtfulness
to speak lightly of females, We
recommend these "tiints' as worthy
Of consideration. s
Never use q lady's name in m iim-'
proper place, at an.mproper time
or in mixed company.
Never make any. assertions about
her that you.thirk are untrue, or al
lusions that YOU feel she herSelfw6uld
blush to hear.
When You meet men who do not
serupE sea make use Of q. woman:s
nam9Se STecHess and unprincipled
sRRa then, for they arr, the

tiy,@iasa lost "a every

Many . good woman's character
has been ruincdandher heart broken
by a lie, manufactured by some VII
Ian and repeated when it should not
have been, and in the presence Of
those whose little judgment could not
deter them from circulating the foul
Dragging report. A SANDER is soon
propagated, and the smallest thing
derogatory to 4 woman's character
will fly on the wings Of thewind and
magnify as it circulates, until It's
monstrous weight crashes the poor
unfortunate victim.
Respect the name of a woman, for
your mother and sisters are women,
and as you would have their fair
name pntarnished and their lives
unembittered by the slanderer's BIZ
ting tongue, heed the i'll that your
own words may bring upon the
mother, the sister or the wife of some,
fellow-creature.

Scab in Sheep.

A contributor to the Transactions of
the Highland Agricultural Society, Scot
land, thus discusses this troublesome
disease of the sheep and gives his meth
Cd Of treatment -
1t is clearly ascertained by scientific
men that the scab in sheep, like the itch
in the human being, is connected with and
propagated by certain minute insects be-
longing to the class of acari, which ill.,
habits pimples or pustules. But the
question mutually arises, how came it first
into existence? This problem is very
difficult of solution, and puzzles the most
eminent Psychologists. But, | have
never known it to break out spontaneous
ly among flock of seep, properly man
aged, during thirty years experience as
a shepherd in pastoral districts. Various
and conflicting opinions exist as to what
extent the disease is infections. Some
affirm that it requires sheep to come in
contact with those diseased before 1t can
be communicated, while others maintain
that the disease is propagated by the
mere travelling on the road, such as a
public drove road, from large markets or
fairs. |, however, do not think the dis.
ease is so catching as the latter advocates
affirm. For example, acted as shepherd
for sixteen years, on various farms,
where the drove road from Falksrk to the
South passes through the sheep pasture
aud every year some of the lots of sheep
were more or less affected with scab, and
during all that period not a single sheep
OF which | had charge caught the disease
The cure Of scab lies in the GESTURE
ton of the insect, but the important
question Is, what is the best composition
or infusion for that purpose? The rem
edies that are commonly applied are
numerous, but the most eHectual, with the
least danger of injuring the animal, that
l have ever seen applied, is the common
spirit Of tar; and, if properly applied,
viii penetrate and destroy the insect
concealed in the pustules, or buried be-
meath the skin. The quantity applied
may vary according to the condition and
age Of the sheep, but for hill, or ordinary
breeding stock, one bottle of spirit Of
tar, mixed with twelve times the quantity
Of water, Is sufficient for twelve sheep, OF
one common wine-glass Of the spirits Of
tar, mixed with twelve times the amount
Of water, is sufficient for one. thinking
tor a hundred, six gallons Of water with
SIX pounds Of common soda ought to be
warmed to the boiling pitch, then add the
spirits of tar.
