A STORY PoR POKER PLAYERs.-Four
gentlemen were travelling from the far
West to New York City, for the purpose
Of buying goods. One of them was
German. As tine journey was long and
tedious, they concluded to while away
the hour at a game of euchre. Fritz,
the German, had been in the habit of
plaving draw-poker, so every time ne
was dealt good poker hand he would
remark, "Vell, l plays poker NIT you
on dis hand"
The other parties would say, ''Oh,
never mind poker; go on with the game
we are playing"
Pretty soon Fritz would get another
poker hand, and out it would come, 81
plays poker NIT you on dis hand"
"Oh, never mind poker; go on with
the game"
de talked so much about poker that
the party thought finally that they
would give him enough of it. One Of
them left the table, got another deck of
cards similar to the ones they were
playing with, and "put them up" for
the occasion. Fritz soon left the table
a moment for a glass of water, and
while absent the new pack was substi-
tuted, and was being dealt as he re-
turned. The dealer turned up queen.
On looking at his hand: Fritz found he
had four kings. He Immediately said,
"I plays poker nit you on dis hand"
One of the party, who had dealt him.
self four aces, looked at his hand some
time, then he looked at the queen which
had been turned up, then at his hand
and again at the queen. Finally he re
marked:
"Well, now, Fritz, since you seem so
anxious to play poker, I'll tell you what
I'll do. If you will let me take tnat
queen up, | t7iU give you little hand
at poker"
''All right" says Fritz; call right;
you takes up de queen"
The queen was taken up, and the
betting commenced. Fritz bet $50.
John n. raised him $50. Fritz raised
that 800. John went 5000 better. and
so the betting went on until poor Fritz
had put up all the money he had
brought to buy goods with. When the
money was all exhausted and it came to
a call, John showed down his four aces
and his queen and took the money.
Fritz didn't say word, but went on
with the game of euchre for about half
an hour. Finally he looked up with
perplexed countenance, and remarked
interrogatively, "John, 1 betinks all
this while what dat queen have NIT to
do with dat hand. ."-NGshUille american.

ACQUIRING SoD.-We often loOk
with surprise AT the waste of time and

or for yard, in buying some old sod,
containing many weeds hard 10 get rid
of, hauling it and then employing men
and carts TO secure even enough for a
small space, when a much better sod
can be obtained from sowing grass seed
on ground prepared the same as If in
tended for a garden crop. Lately We
had occasion to sod space left in our
lawn by the removal of four large trees
of the Norway spruce variety. The
ground was very hard and could be dug
only few inches deep in preparing 1t,
and was really in poor condition for the
purpose; besides no manure was ap-
piled. About a pound of mixed "lawn
grass seed" was sown and a garden
roller passed over it. This was about
the twentieth of April. By the first of
May the grass made its appearance; by
the twenty eighth the ground was COW
cred: and by the third of June it was
clipped. and by the twelfth clipped
second time, Thus, In six weeks we
had a new sod, fresh and vigorous. free
from weeds and much superior to the old
sod adjacent. But it would be better
still could the ground rave been pre-
pared as it should have been.
The expense of sodding this space,
buying, cutting, hauling and putting
down and watering, would not have
been less than fifteen dollars; while the
expense of seeding and rolling. as moth
inn else was done to il, was about one
dollar and twenty-five cents, all told -

AGRICULTURAL.

WHEN TO SELL FARM PRODUCTs.-
Many farmers made sad mistakes is not
selling their grain, butter, cheese, &C.,
when fair prices were offered. Grain
is always subject to more or less loss
when stored waiting for a market, and
butter often deteriorates rapidly In
quality after il is ready for purchaser.
Now, the experience of farmers gener-
ally is,lthat one does better to sell his
products whenever he is offered what
may be considered fair price, than to
"hold on" for higher price that may
and may not be offered. Farmers should
be their own judges as to future rise
in the market and not trust what edi-
tors of leading papers say, who in nine
cases out of ten, are no better judges of
the future than are ''level headed
farmers. Then we have a class of men
dealing in farm products who make IL
a business to deceive the public as TO
coming values. For instance, the
holders of large quantities of grain
bought low will get up canard about
short crops" either at the West or lin
Europe. Not long ago a report came
from Chicago that agents of tile French
were in Illinois contracting
for immense quantities of breadstuffs TO
feed the French army In view of a
probable civil war soon in France
This was undoubtedly humbug to raise
the prices OF wheat and corn 10 enable
heavy holders to sell out at an advance !;
and having "unlOaded" these fellows
will then circnlate reports or something
to lower the prices of grain, so that they
can fill their storehouses again at low
figures. If the war between Russia
and Turkey shall continue till next
year. | think the prices of grain will re-
main about as they now are; but if the
war should be brought TO close before
the year expires, the price of grain will
probably go down ten or fifteen per
cent.

How TO TREAT UNEXPECTED GUESTS.
When one of "father's" business
friends drives into the yard at about
half-past eleven, the good wife knows
that he will surely stop to dinner.
Father Is great story teller, and he
likes to get hold of new auditor. How
aptly comes frown of dismay and dis
pleasure on the smooth, fair face of his
helpmeet. What can be done? Work
is going on according to the days plan
in the Kitchen; the dinner was arranged
for the family; the children are coming
home from school and making chatter !;
all is hustle and confusion. She feels
that the best dishes must be used, and
something extra cooked for the inoppOr-
tune guests.
Now, good woman, don't do il! Your
fine dinner, with its attendant irrita-
tion and "upsetting," will taste no
better than what you prepared. Make
no difference in your plans, but seat
your visitor with a smile and easy
greeting at your hospitable board; and
ne will feel more comfortable and happy
than though you gave him a banquet.
You save temper and trouble, and gain
the enjoyment of giving your friend
real cosy time. A sensible person knows
that farmers do not have six courses
upon their tables daily, and the whole
some, hearty fare, with good nature
and hospitable cordiality, will be tine
tured with sweet, domestic sense that
is inevitably lost In grand dinners.
Smiles and neatness are sauce for hOmely
meals.
PICKLED FIsH.-Clean the fish thor
oughly and cut into pieces about five
inches long; rub each piece on the cut
side with salt. Take stone jar which
will about hold the fish, put layer of
fish on the bottom, then few whole
peppers and allspice and a blade of
mace, then another layer of fish, spice,
etc., till the Jar is nearly full; then
pour good cider vinegar over it until
the fish is quite covered. Tie paper
over the top of the jar, and cover this
with flour paste; this keeps in all
steam. Put the jar in the oven and
bake for three hours. The fish is fit for
use as soon as cold, and will keep, in
the pickle, for six months. The white
fish, pickerel, etc., of the lakes are very
nice for picking, while the land locked
sturgeon of the great lakes is almost as
good as picked salmon if 1t be scalded
in water before spicing, etc. Shad is
excellent picked, as all the bones dis
appear.
