Cart.yNheel story.

A very good natured story is told of one Barty
Willard-though the finale of this joke possesses
small credit for Barty's love of truth, his nat
ural business habits, either. He was wheel
wright by trade, and though an excellent work
man, was remarkable for his habit of procrasti-
nation. He would promise over and over again,
with as little scruple and as many positively
Lasts theatrical star. Having pledged his
word to a very urgent customer, for the third
time, that he would have his cart done by q GER
tain day, Barty again failed to keep his engage
ment, and, Oh the arrival of the owner, the cart
was still unfinished.
SWELL" said the customer, you have got my
cart done this time, of coursef"
"Yes," said Barty, II have done the work, and
supposed it was quite ready for you, when dis
covered that had mad: an unaccountable mis-
take that will keep me back fortnight"
"Ah, indeedw said the customer, "what's the
troublef
"Why, you see," said Barty, with gravity, and
an air of extreme vexation, "yOu see, have
made mistake-I never made such q blunder
in my life-I have committed the ridiculous
mistake of making both wheels for the same
side-they are both off wheels"
''Is it possible :" said the customer who was
thoroughly mystified and allowed Barty an.
other fortnight to finish the cart.

A simple Disis,fcctnnt.

Chloride of lead is the most efficient and the
cheapest deOdorizer and dsinfectant known
also the safest for sick rooms, water closets
pools, emigrant vessels, and wherever the sui
phite of hydrogen and ammonium exists, or is
generated. 1t is this nOxous gas, and not ear
bon acid gas, that generates typhns fever, dph-
liberia and host of those fatal epidemics that
affiict communities. The poisonous gas is gen
Grated by the decomposition of animal and veg
etable matters, exhalations and excreta from the
human body, offal, etc.
To prepare solution of chloride of lead on a
small scale for family use, take one-eighth of an
ounce of nitrate of lead and dissolve it in one
quart OF boiling water then dissolve one ounce
of common salt in five gallons of water, pour
the two solutions together and when settled
pour off the clear and mixed solution and keep
well corked in n demijohn or jugs for use.
A cloth wet with this and suspended in the
room will neutralize all offensive vapors, and a
little dashed into privy, sink, drain. sewer,
will disinfect and destroy all noxous gases by
combining with them. 1t is said to be in gener-
al use in England for purifying sewers; also for
destroying the stencil of bige water in the holds
of vessels.-N Y. Hernld.

Hot Weather Precautions.

People. therefore, who would guard their lives
against the effects of day of excessive heat
must begin far off if they propose to protect
themselves radically, but if a man is conscious
of shattered nerves and a system beyond remedy
IN that respect, he must be particular only to
keep out of the fight. He must keep quiet and
in the shade, and venture no excuses of drink
or diet. He must make those days his holidays
1t would not be bad for such person to act as
if one of the medical theories were known fact
1t is the view of this theory that sunstroke is
only more sudden and formidable attack OF
the same nature as that which in its milder form
is called malarious fever. Against such an ac-
cess he might legitimately defend himself with
his dali reasonable dose of quinine.-Ner York

Not sa VERY Dark. After All,

Some one vas reading the Bible to Jim Ander-
son the other day, and came to the passage about
the plague of darkness in Egypt. THAT must
have been horrible" said the reader, pausing
lawful; inst think of it, darkness so intense
that il eolld be actually felt"
"hoh, said Mr.. Anderson, ''that was nothing.
remember one night in East Feliciana when il
was so dark-'M! Talk about darkness. Why
had to wade through it just like mud to get
home. Lots of people got tired out, aud scared,
and staid right where they happened to be all
night. Why, when we went to bed that night, we
never hung up our clothes; just pushed 'em
kind of into the darkness like, we took 'em off
and there they stuck. 1t was funny, in the
morning, when it began to grow light, to hear
the things dropping out as the darkness lost its
grip, and falling Oh the floor. l remember that
l put an old pair of boots upon the"
But here messenger announced that the Com
mittee was waiting for Mr.. Anderson, and with
out completing his interesting narrative of facts
he withdrew.-Burdette.

The bee Sting-A Remedy for Rheumatism.

A correspondent writes that his wife hav-
ing suffered SO much as to be unable to enjoy any
sleep or rest for the past six months, the right
arm being very lame, preventing the sufferer
from doing any Homework, making her even I'M
able to dress or undress herself and having
heard farmer quite incapacitated by rheuma-
tisn,, had been accidentally stung by bees and
thereby got entirely cured, he persuaded his wife
to try this remedy, as the pain from the sting of
bees would not he greater than that she already
suffered. Three bees were therefore laid and
pressed upon the right arm for a considerable
time, in order that the poison bladder of the in
sect should entirely empty itself. The effect
produced was astonishing, as the lady, even Oh
the first night, was enabled to enjoy long, good
sleep, the first time for at least six months, the
rackins pain being entirely gone. The arm was,
of course, swollen: greatly in consequence of the
sting, but the swelling disappeared gradua lily
upon the application of some cooling lotion. All
pain was gone, the lame arm recovered its pre-
viOus nervousness, and not the least sign of
rheumatism has since shown itself-Praeger

For infants five or six months old, give half

A CLERGYMAN who enjoys the substantial ben
efits of a fine farm, was slightly taken down q
few days ago by his Irish ploughman, who was
sitting on his plough in a tobacco field. The
reverend gentleman, being an economist, said,
with great seriousness:
"John, wouldn't it be good plan for yon to
have stub scythe here and he cutting few
bushes along the fence while horse is resting
short timei"
John, with quite as serious a ceuntenance as
the divine himself, said:
"See here, wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to
have tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and while
they are singing, to peel 'em awhile to DO ready
for the potf"
The reverend gentleman laughed heartily and

Good Tomato Requires Plenty OF Foil
age.

Many persons find much profit in pinchinr
back the branches of the tomatoes; and it is a
good practice when judiciously DONE 1t NAV
be overdone, however, and injury result In the
first place, it is no use to attempt it after the
flowers have fallen. The idea is to force the
nourishment into the fruit at the earliest start !:
for it is at that time that the future fate of the
fruit is cast. few leaves beyond the fruit is
an advantage. It is only the growth that is to
be checked. And then much damage is done BY
taking off the leaves as well as the fruit. The
tomato plant needs all the leaves it can get. 1t
is only the branches that are to be checked. No
one who has not tried it can have an idea of how
valuable the leaves are to the tomato plant.
One may for experiment take off most Of the
leaves of plant, and he will find the flavor iu-
insipid, and every way poor OF course, it is the
peculiar acidity of the tomato that gives so
much value to all Of us but the acid from q to-
mato that has ripened on an insufficient amount
of foliage is disagreeable to most tastes.

CURE FOR Ivy POIsONING.-Many persons are
poisoned by contact with the wild ivy and srl-
mac, and in some cases the poisoning is very Sc
we're. To such it may be of interest to know
that DIR. Brown, of the United States Navy,
claims to have discovered certain remedy for
such poisoning. 1t is bromide dissolved in olive
oil, cosmoline or glycerine. He used twenty
drops OF broinine to an ounce of oil, rubbing it
on the affected part three four times day,
and washing it off occasionally with CASTLE
soap.
