A Convenient Cooking Apparatus.

A Swiss journal gives the follow ng
account of a novel cooking stove:
Herr Boeanger, an ingenious gen
tleman Of Heilbrsnn, has invented
what he calls u neutrality-suspicious..
chapparat-in plain English, a patent
petroleum cooking apparatus, which
possesses the quality of lighting itself
at a specified hour. The machine is
furnished with an indicator, the finger
Of which car be turned to the appointed
time, and when the time arrives the
fire begins to burn, the water to boil
and the meat to roast. \ man who
wants an early breakfast, s~upposing he
be the fortunate owner OF u ~patentir-
observation-disclosures, has thus only
to arrange matters over night, set the
indicator, and on rising next morning
he will find everything ready without
the Intervention of II probably sleepy
and Observation-Disclosures servant.
This admirable invention is exactly
the thing for the lady who advertised
a short time since for a deaf and dumb

How to Scare Oh a Dog.

One wayto manage a dOgthat bounces
at you by daylight, is to look sharp at
him and command him to take care !
Ten to one he's n coward or 80 well
trained as to mind n mastery order.
Another way, that a friend was telling
me just now, was the practical idea of
one of our school ma'ams down South
when a fierce hound sprang at her. She
punched her steel parasol down the
dogs throat and let him run off with
it. The plan has one objecti0m-it
costs Il parasol every time. Another
way for a person with some nerve is to
seize the dog that means to hurt you
by the under jaw, with n stiff thumb
under his tongue. He'll call for his pen
and ink then, says my informant, and
you may kick the breath out of him ut
your leisure, for there's no chance of
his biting. If a dog jumps at your
throat with open mouth, receive him
jamming your elbow with all the force
you can master between the jaws,
bringing the blow upon the lower one;
it is ~dislocated. Commit these things
to memory, for we are keeping II good
many impudent dogs 10Y to drown the
noise Of our neighbours pups.

United States Senator Ben Hill, of
Georgia, comes out fiat-footed against
the Bland bill, or any other Silver bill
that proposes the unlimited coinage of
silver dollars, OH the plea that it would
tend to injure the national credit. SEN
ator Hill disappoints some of the adj
herents of the Bland bill by his express
sions. United States Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, also informs his
friends that he, too, is opposed to
unlimited silver coinage, and this is
another disappointment TO the silver
men. 1t is probable, nevertheless, that
the Bland bill will, with slight modiii-
cations, pass Congress. 1t is not pro-
bable that the President will veto it.
All the probabilities and improbable
ties of the silver situation could
very easily be made possibili
ties and certainties if the friends
Of reconciliation should consent ia
change the 412t grains feature sc MS to
increase it to about 430 grains, which
would make the silver dollar ''cheap''
enough in all conscience, for any
practical or really useful purpose.

A Small Specimen Of Humanity.

Master Frank Flynn, OF Norwich,
N. Y, is probably the smallest speci-
men of a boy ever known. He is ~
years old, and is thus described by the
correspondent Of the Utica Observer:
we went to see him, expecting a Tom
Thumb or Commodore Mutt to walk in
before us. Imagine Jul surprise when
his grandmother brought him in as one
would a good-sized cat. He was not
so large as one of Tom Thumbs legs.
In Tom Thumbs carriage he would
look as lonesome as an ordinary man
in a circus band wagon. To sit upon
one of Tom Thumbs easy chairs would
be to him what it is to the ordinary
boy to perch upon a gate-post when the
Spring comes. He is smaller than any
one can conceive who has not actually
seen him. Yesterday he had two pairs
of stockings, and even then the small
est-sized baby shoes were too large for
him. His wrist is the size of an ordi-
nary mans thumb, his ankle but a
slight increase. He was dressed in a
full suit, like q n He stands twenty
three inches in his shoes, and weighs,
clothes and all, twelve pounds. That
is the most he ever weighed, in his
life. Still, he is a lively, sprightly boy,
climbing into chairs and getting down;
walks around with his hands behind
him, like his grandpa and talks and
laughs, and is as cute as any boy Of his
years. He is no larger than he was
when / year old.n

ny of his wife, who departed this life
last January:
The loved and the loving has gone to
y her rest,
She 10 pow with the angels in the
land Of the blest,
She trusted the Savior in life; and in
death
y She uttered his praise with her very
last breath.
Gentle and kind to all in distress,
She was ever most ready the needy
to bless;
Her body now lies hid beneath the
cold sod,
And her spirit has gone to its Savior
and God
How sad and how lonely is the home
Since death coldly laid Ills hand on
her brow,
And took her to dwell in his nan
sions above,
Where her joys and her pleasures are
kept by his dove.
A gift to bestow or a favor to i'm
part,
Gave gladness to her soul, and joy to
her heart,
For her family and friends, her labor
was given,
Till taken from earth to bright man.

And when deaths message, she knew
to be true;
She said my dear friends, 1 am al
most through,
But why should we weep DER her
suffering and pain,
When We know that our loss is to
her q great gain.
Farewell! my dear wife, so gentle
and mild,
Whose accents were sweet, as those

Farewell! dear wife, although not
forever,
Only farewell, till l cross the dark
