Editor Herald;
Pleasant weather we have again
since the late rams. and blowing for
wheat is the order of the day. Large
crops of wheat will be sown in this
part of the country, as the farmers
have concluded that raising small
grain is more profitable than tobacco.
S. B. and T. NJ. Raley left the 18th
inst. for Texas, where they expect to
make their future home if the country
suits them.
James Mcdaniel departed this life
the oath inst, after a protracted i'll
ness, leaving wife and six children,
and a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy of
the entire community in this their hour
of trouble. L. T. c.

How a Woman BUYS Meat.

There is so much of "human na:ur"
in the following, that We doubt not
not many Of our fair readers will gent
ly smile, if not "laugh right OUT" as
they read it:
When a wom3n enters butcher
shop to select piece of meat for din
ner. she has her mind made up TO take
mutton roast. Therefore, when the
butcher rubs his hands, and asks what
she will have, she promptly replies:
''I'll take some that NUT"
She stops there. Her eye has caught
sight of ham, and she suddenly decides
to take ham.

much 2"

90, yes, madam; here's a splendid
bit of veal, as good a piece as | ever
saw"
"Yes, that does look like veal" she
says, lifting it up.
''And you'll take it?'
''Let's see," she muses.. 'Y-nO, l
guess not. I'd better take pork chops" :"
"Nice chOps-how much 2" he asks.
"One of those slices will weigh a
pound, ! suppose?"

"And it was young hog?"
"Quite youngish, madam
"And you cut the rind OFF,"
"Yes. madam"

ners, and thoroughbred gentleman, it
was small wonder that he quickly won
Sara's heart. Nor was her love given
unreturned, for Ellsworth Elliott was
attracted at once by her pretty face and
amiable Character, and the longer he
knew her the more he found TO admire
in her. Weeks passed by until the sum-
mer was over, and fall was throwing a
brown mantle over the earth, and all
too quickly had it gone to the lovers.
Sara felt as if she had never before
known the beauty and value of life,
and when Ellsworth told her how dear
ly he loved her, she felt as if life were
too sweet to last.

They went at once to the pretty house
which the young husband had made
ready for his bride in the city, and the
quiet elegance of which sent sara into
eestacies OF delight.
After they were fairly settled to
housekeeping Sara said one morning to
her husband:

Two brothers in St. Louis resemble
each other so exactly that it is with
great difficulty they tell themselves
apart. How others are confused is IL
lustrated by the following story:
1t is a rule in the Circuit Court that
but one attorney on each side shall ex-
anime witnesses. In a recent trial in
which Thomas & Thomas were engag-
ed, this rule was violated in very dex-
ferrous manner. Stepping to one side
as if for private consultation, they ex-
changed chairs, and no one could tell
that it was the sans one who had before
occupied the seat. In this way they re-
lieved each other, while the lawyer on
the other side had to stop from exhaus-
tion.
"Mr. Thomas" said a circuit judge
a short time ago, "are you ready to ar
que that motion now:"
"What motion, your honor:"
''The motion you spoke of yesterday.
Your honor, / was not in the court
room yesterday"
"Your memory must be very short
sir. l saw you here"
"Not me, your honor"
81 know it was you; and if you trifle
with the court shall have to fine you
for contempt, sir"
"Your honor, it was my motion, .
said the other Thomas, entering the
room. The judge looked at the two
Thomases in amazement, and, recover
ing his good humor, remarked that ma
ture had committed plagiarism in the
case of one of them, he couldn't tel
which.

The bed is not only a place of rest,
it is especially our sleeping garment,
and has often to make up for privations
endured during the day and the days
work, and to give us strength for to-
morrow. You know all the different
substances and materials used for il.
They are the same as our garments are
made from. Like them, the bed must
be airy and warm at the same time.
We warm the bed by our body just aS
we warm our clothes, and the bed
warns the air which is constantly flow
ing through it from below upward.
The regulating strata must be more
powerful in their action than in our
day clothes, because during rest and
sleep the netamorphOsis of our tissues
and resulting heat becomes less, and
because in horizontal position we
lose more heat by an ascending current
of air than in a vertical position, where
the warm ascending current is in more
complete and longer contact with our
upright body. The warmth of the bed
sustains the circulation in our surface
to certain degree for the benefit of
our internal organs, at time when our
production of heat is at the lowest ebb,
hence the importance of the bed for our
heat and blood economy. Several days
without rest in bed not only makes us
sensible of deficiency in the recruit
ing of our strength, but very often pro-
duces quite noticeable perturbatlons in
our bodily economy, which the bed
would have protected us from.
