How TO FEED SHELLED CoRN-Where
corn cannot be ground without too much cx>
pense, the next best way is to mix the shelIcd
corn with shcct cut corn stalks dampcn the
mass and let it lie 4 few hours, when tho cat
tie will eat the corn and stalks together, and
masticate the corn nuch better than when
fed in the cob. They are obliged to do this
IN mastcating the corn fodder; besides in
this case, the corn will be raised with the
food and mastieated, thus giving it the benefit
OF sscoad grinding, which it does not have
when corn IS fed alone. This is Z matter of
great impOrtanee in fsed;uc.

A Few COOP HINTs.-One ounce alcohol.
two drachms cayenne pepper, one ounce
kerosene oil let stand twenty-four hours af-
ter mixing. 1t cures the worst toothache
ever known.
Kerosene oil is good for removing rust froza
cutlery.
Soft soap should be kept in dry place in a
cellar, and should not be used for three
months after it is made.
Lard should be kept hard and white and
that which is taken from hog over year
old is best.
To select nutmegs, prick them with a pin :;
ifthey are good the oil will instantly spread
around tie pUncture.
when e key of molasses is bought draw
of a few quarts, else the fermentation pro-
duced By moving it will burst the cask.
Two small arteries branching up from the
main arteries on each side of the neck, and
passing over the outside of the jawbone, sup
ply the face with blood. If the nose bleeds
from the right nossril, for example. pass the
fager along the edge Of the right jaw till the
beating of tic artery is felt. Press hard
upon it five minutes and the bleeding will
cease.
The best way to enjoy things is to use them,
and thus get the worth of our money out of
them. There is no sense in gorgeous parlors
kept in darkness.

An ynsephisticated Bachelor.

Cincinnati Times: This morning a gentle
man entered shop on Fifth street, and asked
the clerk:
"What is the price of knit undershirt.
with breast pockets?" He added:
II travel good deal, and carry large
amounts of money, and think that idea o.
pockets an excellent one, and am surprised
that some one has not thought of 1t before
"Really, sir" replied the clerk, 81 think
myself it would be good plan, but am sor
ry to say we have none, and | did not know
there were any made
"You did not?" said the customer. Well,
that's singular. They are exhibited in your
own window, and caught my eye as was
passing.
you must be mistaken, said the clerk Il
know every article in the store
"But l am not" persisted the gentleman.
"Step around and see for yourself"
The wondering shop.keeper did as request.
ed He stepped briskly to the front Of the
window, looked in, then looked al the gentle
man, then coughed, and acted as though he
had sudden pain in the stomach, then ram
med handkerchief in his mouth, and stepped
back behind the counter.
"Well" exclaimed the customer triumph
antly, "Gn't they there?'
"Ye.yes," said the clerk, appearing as
though he had tish-bone in his throat, they
are there, sure enough. But, sir, those under
shirts are not for men, and those pockets are"
and at this point he dived under the coun-
ter and disappeared, while young lady clerk
standing near smothered convulsive giggle
in cambria handkerchief, and started Oft
with q very red face on important business to
the rear part OF the store.

"Out with til am prepared to hear the
worst" said Bill.
But the phrenologist said he'd have TO tell

A philosopher says, "Planets govern not
the soul nor guide the destinIes OF men; but
tr1es lighter than straws are leaves IN The
building up of our character" How true
this is. A meteor fifteen thousand times as
big as the earth may sweep across the heavens
without disturbing the moral standing of a
man carrying tOotbath full of hot water
down stairs, when piece of soap no bigger
than pigeoa's egg may lift his heels as high
as hall lamp, drag him all the way down
stairs la wheelbarrow, empty the tootbatll
in his lap, spoil his clothes and ruin his
standing in the community until the frightful
stories of his unbridled temper are hushcd

A newspaper man has been visiting the
Centennial Exhibition, and during his sojourn
at that place he dined at one of the French
restaurants. When the bill for the meal was
presented to him he meekly intimated that
his boiled egg contained chicken. The po-
lite waiter SAID he would have the bill cor
rected, and soon returned with new bill, up
on which the charge of thirty cents for eggs"
had given place TO an item of sixty cents for
chicken.
