IT should be the ambition of every
workman to possess the best of tools.
Tools are his constant companions, in
. certain and very important sense, his
friends. They should be selected with
deliberation, ON the ground of merit
alone, for nothing was ever gained in
buying cheap tool of inferior quality.
One can readily learn who are the best
makers, by interrogating experienced
workmen. and the preference should be
given to tools that have reputation
that are of standard quality. Edge
tools depend for excellence ON the
quality Of the steel and the temper
given them. The tool-maker who has
no reputation to sustain is naturally
enough tempted to use IN inferior
quality Of steel, or, in order to UNDER
sell q rival, he may SO cheaper labor as
to put premium on work of an in
different quality. Steel, when being
manufactured into edge tools, requires
to be worked alta low heat, and con-
slant care Is necessary in every stage of
the process. The temper, on which .
fine cutting edge depends is always
more or less . matter of uncertainty;
some tools will be finer than others,
though all have gone through
the same process. But, q manLfact-
urer who has made reputation for
good work. win. in general, try to main
tain it, and it is naturally to be sup
posed that he will do his best to secure
uniformity in his products, 50 far as it
is possible. Fortunately it is now pos
sible to obtain tools of the finest
quality of American manufacture

The money was paid. and within .

tired to England.
This part of the condemned mans

bits, augers, planes, chisels, braces, saws

requires. ........
Tools should always be kept in fine
order. It is disgrace to workman
to find his plane-irons and chisels
nicked or rounded at the edge, his saws
dull and badly set. In every shop there
should be . grindstone with face per-
fectly true, and every man should take
special pride in his oilstone. To learn
how to grind q tool properly, and to
set it on the stone, and to file q saw
as it should be filed, are things not SO
easily learned; and, indeed, many
workmen never learn, and, perhaps,
never can. Then, everything should
be in its place, always in its place.
In q well-regulated shop there is no
borrowing, and there is no occasion for
any. Every man has, and holds, his

or you will not have the right proper
ton of roots.
II. Finally, as you must give the
same space and 60 to the same expense
in planting, fencing and tending poor
kinds as good ones, be sure you get
the best varieties to begin with.
Eschew tree peddlers, many of whom
will supply any variety of apples you
want from the same bundle, their trees
being generally outsized or scalawags,
bought cheap as the sweepings of
nurseries, and carried so carelessly as
to let the roots dry.
There are, doubtless, reliable ped
dlers, but deal with none unless you
know them to be such.-N Y Weekly

Two WEDDING couples presented
themselves at the Mayoralty in . sub
urb of Paris to carry out the civil por-
ton of their marriage contract. They
ranged themselves on opposite sides OF
the Mayors official throne, and faced
one another. The Mayor was asking q
question of one of the bridegrooms,
whose attention was thus distracted
from his bride. On turning round to
look at her when he had answered the
question, he caught her making
% sheep's eyes, at the bridegroom OPP
posite. Being of jealous tempera-
ment, he laid his hand roughly on her
arm, and said, sharply, '.Mademoiselle,
which of the two brides are you? You
are mine, I believe; then oblige me by
combining your glances to me-" The
bride was young woman OF spirit,
and. resenting the tone in which the
reprimand was made, retorted, "Ah,
monsieur, if you are jealous already, I
am likely to lead & pleasant life with
your The jealous bridegroom made
an angry reply, and then the other
bridegroom must need put his oar in.
- Pah! monsieur, why should you
make such fuss because mademoiselle
chooses to favor me with glancew
Thereat his bride turned savagely upon
him and exclaimed, "Ha, monsieur, it
would seem, then, thatyOu like to have
ladies make eyes at you! Now l know
what to expect from you; but you might
at least have had the decency to keep
this proof of your faithlessness
concealed from me here" And with
this fierce thrust she burst into tears.
In vain the Mayor attempted to pacify
both parties. The bridegrooms stormed
at each other, and the brides, between
their historical sObs, mutually accused
each other of perfidy. What was to be
doneP At last the Mayor, losing tenn
per. cried out, cam l to proceed with
this ceremony, or am 1 not?'' The two
brides, with one accord, screamed
"No!' Perhaps" said the Mayor,
whose wrath had again cooled down,
"you could arrange matters between
yourselves if you were left alone. The
clerk will show you to my private room.

expiration Of that time the parties were
summoned to appear again before the
Mayor. Have you settled your diff

abashed, SO he shrugged his shoulders

Women q Stone.T hrowers.

THE practice of a whole life, says an
Observant philosopher, will not enable
q woman to throw stone with grace
and accuracy. 1t was one of the first
and most knotty physiological prob
lens which presented itself to our
youthful mind-why our big sister,
when she tried to throw SNOWFALL at
us, almost invariably sent it careening
over the top of the house, while we, in
turn could pop her in the ear almost
every time. It may be that we took q
mean advantage of this discrimination
of Nature in our behalf against our sis
ter, and it may be that we improved
the opportunity to rake her fore and
aft whenever she came within firing
distance. But that is neither here nor
there. As the time passed on and we
increased our stock of observation, we
saw the other fellows sisters labOred UNI
der about the same disadvantages that
ours did in the matter of throwing any
kind of missile. Why this marked and
unmistakable difference existed we
never learned until, at a somewhat ad-
vanced period, we dove into book of
physiology, and learned that the clavi-
Gle, or cOllar-bone, in the anatomy of q
female is some inches longer and set
some degrees lower down than in the
masculine frame. This long, crooked,
awkward bone interferes with the full
and free action of the shoulder, and
that's the reason why q girl cannot
throw a stone. The design of this sort
of thing is still unexplained to our en-
tire satisfaction. We have developed
a pet theory of our own, however, that
an all-wise and beneficent Providence,
foreseeing that there would be rolling
pins, and stove-hooks, and pot-lids,
and hot water in the world, set the
wOman's clavicle down a hitch CT two
for the safety of men. It's lucky for
all of us that women cannot throw
stones.-Erchamge.

A Cincinnati Singing Mouse.

THE family of q well-known gentle
man, who lives on the south side of
Seventh street, just west of Linn, have
been greatly exercised for some weeks
by the singing of what sounded like a
canary bird, behind the wainscoting of
the house, and between the walls of the
partitions. Neighbors have been called
in to listen to the strange music, and
the general verdict was that the sounds
were made by that much-talked of, but
seldom seen animal, a singing mouse.
All through the night hours the sing
ing has been done, and sometimes it
has been so loud as to waken the gen.
tleman and wife, and disturb them.
Yesterday Mr.. +. succeeded, with the
help of one or two lady friends, in cap
turing the vocalist. A brick was re-
moved from the hearth in the kitchen,
and the ladies, after setting trap.
armed themselves with pOkers and
sticks, and got upon chairs and tables
and awaited the coming of the war
bier. After long wait he ventured out
and into the trap. Last evening a Conn.,
naerctGI reporter was at Mr.. F.'s house,
where several other friends were gath
cred to observe the wonder. The wire
trap containing the mouse was placed
upon the table, and the singing was
anxiously awaited. The mouse, an or
dinary-looking one, with a rough coat
and bright black, bead-like eyes, did
not seem to be disposed to sing, and
after long wait and good many ex-
pressions Of incredibly concerning his
vocalistic abilities, it was suggested
that the mouse be fed. A little bread
was given it and some water. 1t went
for the water, and began an extraordi-
nary amount of face-washing and gen.
eral primping. After the prsn,a donna
had finished her toilet, she gathered
herself up in little brown ball and be-
gan to sing. She began with twitter
like q wcOdbird, then she chirruped
like sparrow, and then settled down
into long, sweet MARBLE, like q young
canary. As the tiny thing swelled up
its throat and rolled its black eyes
and executed the most wonderful
little trills and roulades and
cadenzas, and the sweetest dimin-
uendos, and crescendos, the listeners
looked at one another in wonder and
delight. There it was at last-a real
little mouse, sitting up in its cage and
singing with all its might! 1t is impos-
sible to describe the character of its
singing, and Mrs. F. says it varies re-
markedly every time it sings. 1t is
soft, sweet tone, not clear and sharp,
like the singing of an old canary-rath-
er like q young bird, just learning to
sing. Occasionally it makes q whin-
ing, exactly like a very young puppy,
and then, after chirrup or two, starts
off on its song again. Talking had
no effect, and did not seem to annoy it;
and the cage was even passed around
from one to another without interrupt
ing the singing Of the little prisoner.
It had been singing a strait ht hour
when our reporter left, and was still at
it, and entertaining an admiring and
wondering party of Observation-Disclosures
natl Commercial.

serve, on looking up, that the whole

women are at work, and their business
consists in the receipt and dispatch of
telegraph messages. After discover
ing that at least 800 women can keep a
secret (secrecy is essential there) Mr..
Trollope asked: :How many dismiss
ais did you have during last year? For
l had known much of the Civil Service
myself, and had been aware that, in
dealing with large bodies of men, the
exercisers of discipline must have re-
course to that fast means of declaring
that obedience and order are indispen-
sable." Dismissed?''. said my friend.
"Yes, we have had dismissal. Miss
was dismissed. But it seems to
me a long time ago. I'll getthe books"
The books were produced, and it APP
peared that the unfortunate one named
had been sent away at some time in
1873. From body Of public servants
as large as regiment, there had been
no dismissals in four years.-Anthony
