How Cupid Stubbed His Toe.

Jersey City is amusing itself with a
bit of gossip which is very amusing to
all save one person, and that person a
lady. Some time ago grocer of Jersey
City. well-to' do, young and handsome,
fell in love with pretty school teacher,
and was apparently loved tremendously
in return. The two became engaged and
would, perhaps, now be married, but for
ing with young lady friend one day,
confded to her the fact that the grocer
had plenty of money, and that as soon
as they were married they were going to
live in a brown stone house on certain
fashionable street. The friend told an
other friend in confidence, and SO the
thing travelled until it reached the ear
of the grocer. He was astonished. He
had dreamed of a pleasant little home
over his store, wife to sympathize with
his objects and to aid him, not wife to
spend his start toward a fortune in mere
display. 1t dawned upon him that the
school teacher might be IN love with his
money rather than with him, and he
consulted an old friend, regular Major
Pendennis. Major Pendennis had q
suggestion. He proposed that the lover
should put on an air of deep detection
before his lady love, and only after &
time explain reluctantly that he haG
loaned his money without good securi.

graceless wretch, followed the advice 0
the heartless bachelor, and was dumb

Tilted him. He got back some silver
ware and gold watch and other thing
he had given her, and that was the en'
of the love affair. Eventually the trutl
came out, and there was woe in tn
school teachers family. Her mothe
made advances to the grocer with a vie,
to reconciliation. but the grocer wouldn'
reconcile. And Jersey City, just as an
other city would, rolls the gossip unde
its tongue and chuckles.

oath I sprang upon him, and bore down
his arm just as the revolver went of, the
ball burying itself harmlessly in the
floor. Before he could free himself from
my grasp, half dozen officers were upon

The next morning the papers were
filed with glowing accounts of the cap
ture of the murderer, and praises of my
conduct. The principal business men of
the town made up a purse of five hun
dred dollars and presented it to me; and
this, with the reward that was paid me

A CITY IN THE SEA.-A cores
pondent from Kingston, Jamaica, writes
to the Buffalo Courier: In the latter
end of the last century, old Port Royal
disappeared beneath the waves in an
earthquake, leaving no other memorial
behind than these few patches Of reefs.
In calm and clear evenings, when there
is not a ripple on the CLASSY surface of
the sea, you may look down into fifteen
fathoms Of water and see submerged
houses, towers and churches, with sharks
swimming quietly in and out Of the OPP
en- windows of their belfries. The work
Of centuries was destroyed in few mo-
ments by one single convulsive throb OF
the thin film on which man has lived
and speculated for ages past. An Amer
ican diving company, instigated in their
enterprise by tales OF untold wealth,
buried beneath the sea by this sudden,
shock, rrecued no treasures but the big
bell suspended still in the bell tower,
and donated the same to the museum OF
the island, where IL may be seen, with
many pnzzling inscriptions upon il
which nobody has at yet been able to de-
cipher.

A Hint TO Farmers.


In some sections-and it wonld be a
decided advantage in thoughtfulness
and kindness in all sections-farmers
give each of their boys, and girls, too. n
strip of land to raise whatever they
choose upon it, and dispose of their pro-
duct for their own benefit. II is favor
that they all appreciate, and it is pleas-
ant and serviceable employment for
them in their leisure hours. They will
vie with each other in their skill at rails
ing their little crops, and the proceeds
applied to their own use are frequently
of some value; and the whole arrange.
ment, while it instructs them in the
cultivation of the soil, early implants in
the children the idea of thrift and econ
omy. Sometimes, where a good many
animals are raised, pig, lamb, calf, up
to even a colt, according to the age Of
the children. IL given to each to rear and
to keep or sell. Farmers, think of this;

THE DATE PALM.-The date has
from time immemorial, been the chief
article of food for many millions of in
habitalIts of the northern borders of the
Arabian desert and the lower portion Of
the Valley of the Euphrates, the sea of
the ancient Chaldean Empire. A Per-
sian poem celebrated its three hundred
and sixty uses. The Greeks spoke of it
az furnishing the Babylonians with bread
wine, vinegar, honey, and ropes Of all
kinds, and mash for cattle. The clus-
tera of its fruit, seuli-transparent,w which
the ancients likened to amber, weigh
from one TO three hundred pounds for
each tree. Mahomet is said to have ad-
dressed his followers on the snbject as
follows: "Honor the date tree, for she
is thy mother" Palgrave says, at is
almost incredible how large part the
date plays in Arab subsistence, il is the
bread of the house. the staff of life, and
the staple of commerce."
The date is sweet fruit, and when
mixed with acid fruits, and stewed, the
two make an excellent dish. II is used
in puddings, cake, and bread. and is also
used quite freely without cooking. The
fruit is dried in the sun without the ad-
dition of sugar.

ObeyIng Orders.

Certain rules, such as the composit0F's
"Follow copy II il goes out Of the win
dow" or the seaman's "obey orders II
you break owners" are strongly stated
in order TO secure liberal obedience.
But one thing should precede the at
tempt to obey--the order should be
clearly understood, or the consequences
may be similar to that told in this Incl
dent:
A newly-employed baggage-master
was told to pile up his trur ks as snugly
az possible in the car, and be sure 70 pnt

THE IMITATION OF PRECIOUS STONES
There is in Pans a vast establishment
the most extensive of its kind in the
world-where the imitation of pearls,
diamonds and precious stones generally,
is carried on which all the skill which
modern ingenuity renders possible, and
these productions are sent 70 shops of all
lands. Here the whole process of trans
forming few grains of dirty, heavy
looking sand into diamonds ofsparkling
hue is constantly going on. The sand
thus employed and upon which the
art depends, is found in the forests OF
Fountairebieu. 1t appears to possess
some peculiar qualities of adoption to
this purpose. The coloring matter for
Initiating emeralds, rubies and sapphires
is entirely mineral, and has been brought
to high perfection. Hundreds of opera
tives are employed in polishing the col.
ored stones and in lining the false pearls
with FISH scales and wax. The scales oi
the roach and dace are chiefly employed
for this purpose. They have to be strip
ped from the fish while living. or the
glistening line so much admired in the
real pearl will not be initiated. These
Paris pearls have been of late years SC
perfected that Roman pearls has, to &
great extent, been superseded. The set
ting is always Of real gold, and the fash
ion of the newest kind.

Ike Cook, at the head Of American
vine making in 81. Lonis. says: The
best grape in America is the Lake Erie
Catawba. grown on the Island around
Put-in-Ray. We are dependant upon Il
for the life Of the wine, and il is the es-
sential grape in papaable, inferior wines
made elsewhere. He attributes the ex.
cellence Of the sAndusky grape 70 the
surrounding water Of the lake, which
keeps of frost. and to the decompoaed
rock soil Of the island, which is like a
loan. Grapes must fully ripen. First
there must be a grape. then a sun.
Around the islands of Sandusky there
are Thousands Of acres in the Catawba.
John Browns son supplies me from his
25 acres Of vineyard. The largest vine-
yard is only about 100 aeres The
grapes are carefully picked, the unripe
are rejected; and they are packed in
wine boxes and shipped here, where we
press them. From the day the grape
is planted to the day the wine is opened
is nearly four years, and the product has
had baby's attention almost every day
OF that time. The grapes Of California
are utterly useless for wine, because the
alkali soil they grow in neutFalizes the
wine-giving acid Of the grape. They
are luxuriant as "Dead sea fruits that
tempt the eye, but turn to ashes on the
lips." These wines are all doctoFed 10

wash the alkali out of the soil, for that
Los Angeles soil would like TO make
grape that would give wine.

THE CARE OF OIL-CLoTHs.-An oil
cloth requires careful treatment, and
should pever be scrubbed with hard
brush and soap, but after first being
swept with the long handled hair brush
es that are made for the purpose, it
should be carefully washed with q
large, soft cloth dipped into milk and
water, half and half; or il the milk is
not obtainable. tepid water without soap.
The latter ruins oil cloth by taking of
the brightness ofthe paint. and il should
never be applied to II. Hot water is also
very injurious to it, either of them
soap or hot water-being sure to injure
the oil-cloth more than the wear Of it.
When washed over, wipe it OFF with a
soft, dry cloth, and il will always retain
a bright look. In purchasing an oil-closh
