TWO STORIES.

A gentleman, just returned from over the
Canadian border, tells these stories: He was
in the hotel eneral-accommodation room,
when two veterans of the (boteD bar, laying
schemes for drink, began to tell stories to
each other for his benefit.
"These are awful hard times" said one. 81
never saw such times before, except when l
was in Ohio, and then was hard put to it to
get along. Nothin' to do. had yoke of
steers, but they want earnin' nothin'. But
I lived right on the road the Western emf
grants went over every day. So dug hole
in that road at the foot O the hill, near my
house, turned livin' spring O. water into t,
and made good mud.hole Well, when the
emigrants came along, every day there would
be one or more teams git stuck ia the mud
hole, an they would see my steers standin'
out, doin' nothin', and they would send up
and git me to come and hel 'em out; an |
alwaz charged as much as Eve dollars lift.
Well, KEEP that mud-hole right up in good
repair, till I made twenty-five thousand dol
lars out ont, an then sold it for three thou
sand dollars, an moved up here"
Story number two was the other Munchau-
sens companion piece for the yoke of steers !:
"When l was choppln'-l could chop
some, you know-an' folks used to ask me
how much I could do in day. Have you
ever tried it 2 says they. No, never, says L,
never but once and that want really try.
You see, jest to show EN- what could do, |
got up one winter mornin' afore light and
ground up my ak sharp, O, jest as sharp, and
went into the woods. An l chopped like
sixty till about three o'clock in the afternoon,
when thought it was as much as l could pile
up afore sundown, an I went to pilin'. Well,
when had it all piled up it measured TWEEN:
ty.seven cord. An then I knew somethin'
was wrong, for knew at the rate l had been
chopin it oughter be more. So went back,
an began lookin' round to see what the
trouble was. An there, right at the fust tree
cut in the morniu, was my ax-head. You
see, the thing was loose an slipped off, and /
had been chopin all day with the bare
halve"

ns~ The mooted question as to whether
toads eat bees has been settled by M. Brunei,
a writer in La Nature, who asserts that, CO.
ing into his garden one day, just before a
storm, he observed the bees crowding into
their hives. Near one of these hives was a
toad which every now and then rose on his
forelegs and made dart, with surprising
quickness, towards blades of grass. He was
found to be devouring bees which we're rest
ing on grass blades awaiting their chance to
enter the hive. NJ. Brunei waited until twelve
victims had been devoured, expecting to see
the toad's voracity punished with sting but
no such result occurred. The toad was twice
removed to quite dist snce from the hives,
but both times he returned to the spot in q
few hours.
How TO CHOOSE FLoUR.--In selecting
-four, first look to the color. If it is white,
with a straw colored tint, buy it. If it is
white, with blush cast, or with white specks
in it, refuse it. Second, examine its adhe-
siyeuess and knead little of it between
your fingers, if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Third, throw little lump of dried
-four against a smooth surface if it falls,
like powder, it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some
of the -four tightly in your hand; Fit retains
the shape given by the pressure, that too, is
a good sign. 1t is safe to buy -four that will
stand all these tests. These modes are given
by all old -four dealers, and they pertain to a
matter that concerns everybody y-the staff of
life.

THE LAWYERS CLA1M.-They tell good
story of an old business man who recently
found himself "cornered" financially, and de-
sired to 60 into bankruptcy. He applied to
a LAWYER to know how much it would cost to
have the papers made out and the business
put through. He was told that the expenses
would be about one hundred dollars, and, ap-
pearing to be satisfied with the price, he told
the lawyer to 60 ahead. The lawyer followed
the instructions. and when the work was done
he called for his little one hundred dollars.
"All right" said the bankrupt, "you can put
YOUR claim right in with the others"

THE DAY You WE'RE BoRN.-Here is an
infallble method of discovering the day of
the week on which given day Of the month
any number of years previous occurred. To
the number representing your age at your
next birth day, add onefourth for leap years /;
this amount divided by seven, and the re-
mainder counted back from the day of the
week on which you were born. For instance,
on your next birth day you will be twenty.
four years DID, This divided by four, and
the quotent, six, added to twenty-four, gives
thirty, the amount, which divided by seven,
the number of days in the week, gives four
weeks, and the remainder of two days. Now,
if your birth day in 1876 comes on Monday,
count back two days and you have the day
on which you we're born, Saturday.
