A TRANSPARENT FRAUD.-Y Yesterday

"Doan' seem possiblem exclaimed the
colored citizen.
"It's sudden, of course, but when you

Blue glass maniacs are thus warned
by a scientific contributor to the Indi-
annapolis Herald "Let me say to those
who have already procured the glass
that, if it is not ground in accordance
with scientific principles and if irregu-
larities exist on either of the surfaces,
they had better by far throw it away
than to subject themselves to a course
positively harmful, as it has been found
that the slightest irregularity in the
glass, or the slightest curve, if in the
wrong direction, though it embraces
but one eighth of an inch of either of
the surfaces, may fail upon branch of
one of the sensitive nerves, and by re-
llex irritation produce incalculable
mischief to the sufferer"

A Scotch Story.

A certain minister having become
much addicted to drink, his presby
terry had to interfere, and get the min
lister to sign the pledge. The result
was that the sudden reaction proved
too much for him, and he became so i'll
that the doctor had to he sent for. The
doctor said he must begin to take his
toddy again. This the minister said he
could not do, as he had taken the
pledge. The doctor replied that he
might get bottle or two quietly, and
that nobody but their two selves and
the hOusekeeper would know it. "Man,"
said the minister, ''my housekeeper is
worse than all the presbyters put to-
gether, so that would not do" How
ever, it was arranged that the doctor
should bring in the whisky and sugar,
and that the minister was to make up
the tOddy in the bed room with The hot
water he got for shaving purposes in
the morning. The result was the min
lister got speedily well, and one day on
going out, the doctor said to the minis

replied, ''he's quite we'll in the body,

Farmers Homes.

1t is worthy of much thought and at
tention on the part of farmers to throw
such influences around their children
as will attract them to country life.
This aim should be well studied in
winter, but should not be forgotten at
other times. 1t does not require a
heavy expenditure of money. Intelli-
gent economy is better than ignorance
with waste. First the farmers home
and its surroundings should he made
complete. An ornamental garden and
neatly planted dooryard should hold
prominent place in making these
provisions. WOrkingmen's cottages will
be found economical in the long run,
by allowing hired men with families to
board themselves, and prevent confus-
ion in homes and avoid hard work for
women. Foster in young people every
rural taste and rural study. Help and
encourage those who like the culture
of flowers Facilitate experiments on
the farm and in the garden. Provide
every assistance to those who have a
taste for natural sciences. A room
should be secured us a museum, where
insects, dried plants, minerals, fossils
and stuffed birds may be kept, and in
sect transformations witnessed, and
where cheap philosophical and chemi-
cal apparatus may be used. Procure
books to assist in all studies connect
ed with these objects. This is the way
to make intelligent and useful farmers
instead of idlers, spendthrifts and
horse .jockeys.-COuntry Gentleman.

THE WAR ON GAMBLERs-PRo
MEN IN BAD FIx.-The police in
Washington, raided celebrated club
house and arrested large number of
persons engaged in gambling. Among
the number was an ex-Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, a prominent
Judge of South Carolina, an ex-United
States Senator, and several ex-members
of Congress, who were taken to the
station house. The club was one of
the best known gambling houses in the
city, and the suppression by the police
is the commencement of an active war
against the gambling houses of the Dis
trict. Monday morning the parties ar
rested were discharged, upon leaving
collateral security, the proprietors be-
ing held in 81, 200 and the players in
$50 each to appear as witnesses.
