When a slave was manumitted by the Romans,
small red cloth cap, called pileus, was placed
on his head. So soon as this was done he was
proclaimed a freedman (ibertinus) and his name
duly registered. When Saturnius took the ca p
ital, in the year 263, he hoisted cap on the top
of his spear to indicate that all slaves who join
ed him should be free Marus employed the
same symbol when melting the slaves to take up
arms against Syily, and when Cesar was muir
with cap elevated ON a spear as n token of lib
erty. The Goddess of Liberty in the Aventine
Mount was represented as holding in her hand
cap, the symbol of freedom. In France the Jsc-
obins wore red can (bonnsf roage), but in Eng
land the cap of blue, with white border, is the
symbol of liberty, and Britannia is sometimes
represented as holding such cap on the pom
of her spear. The American "cap OF liberty Is
also of blue, upon which thirteen stars are piac-
ed, and has been adapted from the british.
There is no absolute or positive regulation IN
regard to this cap, beyond its shape and color,
40 far as America is concerned. 1t is in shape
an old fashioned nightcap or truncated c"ne.

Cure for Dyspepsin.

For something near two years have suffered
with dyspepsia and soreness of the castle organs.
During that time used several different prepar-
atoms, and advised with every physician met,
but still could get no permanent relief. -Four or
five months ago commenced the use of remedy
that has proved very beneficial to me. Here it
is: Every night before retire, and every morn
ing. just as l rise, give myself good pound
ing all over the breast and stomach, breathing
long full breaths frequently during the operation,
and throwing my arms in every direction. fol-
lowed his course energetically for sometime.
Now have no symptoms of dyspepsia, and the
soreness in my stomach, which gave me an I'M
told amount of annoyance, almost entirely dis
appeared. OF course, the pounding must be light
and moderate at first. This remedy is simple
and can be used by all. 1t has done me so much
good, that have no doubt great many dyspep-
tic and weak-breasted persons would be benefit
ed greatly by faithful application of this RENE
dy. Try it, and prove it for yourself.-DaRid l..

skillful breeder writes to the Canada Farmer
as follows:
Many farmers wish to breed heifer calves from
fayorite COWS. To accomplish this nothing more
is necessary than to watch carefully when the
COW is in heat, and before milking her take her
to the bull. Five times ont of six, the resulting
calf will be heifer. This rule, however, will
not work so well when the opposite sex is re.
quired. If the rule fails under some cases of
management, the cause is due in not taking the
cow in time, as the instances from which the
above rule are taken were in constant trial for
ten years, during which time a large dairy of
heifer calves was reared from tw or three favor
lite cows. 1t seems that the full udder causes
the sex to be pretty nearly determined, as even
If partially relieved by milking, the desired re-
suit is not by any means so likely to follow.

An AWKWARD PAUSE.-A young gentleman
undertook TO relate a circumstance, one Sunday
evening, in the presence of some young ladies'.
He commenced as follows:
d" A lady friend and myself, last Sunday even
ing, went 10 Bed"
With sudden spring the old lady bounced
him oat of the house. The next day the old
gentleman met him in the street and asked him
for apology.
az was about to say" commenced the young
man, that lady friend and myself went to
Bed" when a thrust from the old mans cane
started him back several feet, upon which be ex

DESTROYING RoACHEs.-Take dry red lead !;
mix with thin molases to a consistency of thin
cream then take pieces of glass and broken
plates, etc, spread it on about as thick as thin
window glass. Where reaches are very numer-
Gus, give them plenty of the mixture, as they
eat very greedily of it. l think the general
failure with roach poisons is this: The poison is
so quick in s;ckening the reaches that they will
not eat enough of it to kill them, for they are
slow eaters. The red lead being slow in its eff
feet on them, they will get good quantity into
them. l have noticed when any of them would
happen to be trampled upon it would appear
that they were entirely filled with the red lead.
Place the lead where the reaches get at t
most conveniently. If the lead should become
too dry and hard, mix a little more lead and
molasses with the old to freshen it up again, and
place it in other places.-Oar Home Journal.

How TO GET RID OF RAG WEEDs.-0. 2. White,
of Juno, Tennessee, inquiries show to get rid of
rag weeds, in order to NOW grass next Spring. ~
Your correspondent will find that running a
heavy brush over his land, when the ground is
hard frozen, will clear his land for moving. If,
however, the weeds are very thick and collect
in piles under the brush, these piles will, OF
course, have to be carried off by hand. The
above plan for clearing land is the best l have
ever tried.
/ think the agricultural department of the
Courier Journal will prove of vast Importance to
the farmers. ! heartily agree with the editor
when he says he wants only practical farmers to
advise as to the best method for farmers. Too
MANY are writing and advising farmers, whose
only information is gained from periodicals. and
not from practice by any means.

A PLEASANT REMEDY.-The change in the
weather has given every one coughs and colds,
the remedy for which here is very pleasant
and effective one. Instead of nauseOus medi-
cines, stews and yillainOus compounds for
coughs, sore threats and throat diseases, raw
honey is used. spoonful whenever the throat
feels uncomfortable, is taken, with great relief,
effecting a cure in few days, and sometimes in
a few hours. This is probably a secret worth
knowing in our throat disease climate, and we
give it without any charge for the prescription.
Swallow it slowly, without mixing it with the
saliva, is the simple direction. Little glass jars
of honey for this purpose are for sale all over
the city.-Late Paris Letter

DANGEROUS AIR IN WELLs.-Lives are frequent
ly lost by noxious gases in wells. This may be
prevented by the adoption of the following very
simple means: Take some pieces of carpet, or
common sacks, and make them up into loose
bundle, nearly as large as the area of the well.
Inclose in it brick to give weight, and attach
to the bundle rope of sufficient length to reach
to the bundle down the well. Throw the bun
die down the well, and haul it up again as quick
ly as possible. Repeat this operation rapidly
for ten minutes, and the atmosphere of the well
will become quite innoxious, as may be proved
by letting down lighted candle. The bundle,
as is easily understood, carries before it quant-
ty of fresh air from the surface and this, of
course, displaces the foul and dangerous air from
the bottom,

To improve the appearance of furniture, the
Industrial Monthly advises its readers to take a
soft sponge, wet with clean, cold water, and
wash over the article. Then take a soft chamois
skin, and wipe it clean. Dry the skin as well
as you can by wringing it in the hands, and
wipe the water off the furniture, being careful
to wipe only one way. Never use a dry chamois
on varnish work. If the varnish is defaced and
shows white marks, take linseed oil and turpen-
tine in equal parts, shake them well in vial,
and apply very small quantity on rag until
the color is restored then with clean soft rag
wipe the mixture off In deeply carved work
the dust can be removed without sponge. Use
a tiffhaired paint brush instead of a sponge.

LANDLORD OF THE BLUE HEN.
BY PHGBE CARY.

PHGBE CARY.
Once a long time ago 50 good stories berin
There stood by the roadside an ld-fashioned inn;
An inn, which its landlord had named The Blue Hen"
While he, by his neighbors, was called Uncle Ben -
At least they quite often addressed him that way
When ready to drink. but not ready to pay;
Though when he insisted on having the cash
They went of muttering ''rummy," and odd brandy
smash"
He sold barrels Of lqror but still the old Hen"
Seemed never to flourish and neither did BEN"
For he drank up his profits, every one knew
Even those who were drinking :heir profits up too.
So with all they could drink and with all they could pay
The landlord grew poorer and poorer each day
Men said as he took down the gin from the shelf,
The steadiest customer there was himself
There was hardly man living in the street.
But had too much to drink and too little to eat
The women about the old Hen" got the blues;
The girls got no bOnnets, the boys had no shoes
When poor fellow died he borne on his bier
By his comrades whose hands shook with brandy and
For, of course they terribly frightened and yet
They went back to The Blue Hen, to drink and forget
There was one iovial farmer. who couldn't get by
The door of The Blue Hen" without feeling dry;
One day he discovered his purse growing light;
There must be leak somewhere, he said He right
Then there was the blacksmith 1.-THE best ever known
Folks said if hed only let liquor aloneJ
Let his forge cool so often, at last he forgot
To beat up his iron and strike when twas hot.
Once miller, going home from THE Blue Hen" twas
said,
While his wife sat and wept by his sick baby's bed,
Had made false step and slept all night alone
In the bed of the river, instead Of his own
Even poor Ben" himself could not drink of the cup
OF fire forever, without burning up;
He grew sick fell to raving declared that he knew
No doctors could help him. and they said So too
He told those about him. the ghosts of the men
Who used in their lfetimes to haunt The Blue Hen,
Had come back each bringing his children and wife,
And trying to brighten him out of his life.
