Pine street tenderIy caressing his head
and shoulders, when his ''pard" came
Up.

In doubt; what about2
Well, Henry, I went into that alley
gate up there to get something to eat,
might a-knowed somethiG' 'ud hap
pen, for there was a dead book agent
laying on the flOwer-bed, and a Iini-
ment man, with the side of his head
all caVed in, Ieanln' up agin the peach
tree.
Well?
You see, L alters wuz yentursum, an
I axed a woman standing there would
she give me a rhubarb pie and i piece
Of fresh shad.
Wen. what happened then2
Now Henry, that's what I'm in doubt
about. I don't seem to make out
whether the back porch fell down on
me, or I stepped on a keg Of dyamite,
and it busted under me. Why, Henry,
I'd sooner work half an hour than 90
into that yard again.-Easton Fres

The Wrong Knman.

A New Hampshire man was going Oh
trip with the partner of his bosom re-
Gently, and the train started off very
suddenly while he was talking with his
friends. He grabbed hold Of a woman,
chucked her on the train, jumped after
her, and away they went, a thousand
miles an hour, with his wife shrieking
and tearing her hair on the platform,
and woman he never saw before 60
ing into high Mysteries in the car, CALL
ing him a monster, and yelling, Save
mel" By terrible mistake he had got
hold of the wrong woman, and the con-
ductOr, refusing to listen to his explain
atiOns, kicked him out of the car, the
brakeman chucked him into the ditch,
the sheriff met him before he got half
way back TO town and put handouts
on him, and when at last he got home,
he saw his business partner holding his
wife on his lap and telling her that
there were men in the world who loved
her much better than her faithIess hus-
band ever did.

Removal Of the Wheat Belt.

The removal Of the wheat Belt"
westward says the Buffalo Courier, is
strikingly exhibited by the trade of
Cleveland. Only thirty-fye years ago
she shipped more wheat than any other
port on the great lakes, Buffalo alone
excepted. MassillOn, now scarcely
known in the wheat trade, was the
chief point of original receipt, and re-
ceived a larger amount of wheat than
any other port in the world from the
actual producers. Now both Cleveland
and Massillon draw a large proportion
Of their bTeadstuffs from the North
west. Westward the wheat producing
region takes its way; but this condition
of affairs, although it willIast for many
years, will not be permanent. With
improved agriculture, wheat will again
be grown in large quantities where it is
now neglected; and the increased set
tlement of the West will, after a eer-
tain point is reached, provide consum-
ers nearer the places of production in
that region.

Our Digestion.

When proper, natural, simple food is
taken into the healthy stomach, no
more is felt of it. If it be Of the ma
ture Of soup or beef tea, it is absorbed,
as it were, by the coats and veins of the
stomach. If it be meat, it is by the
movements of the stomach carried
round and round its cavity, and mixed
up with the gastric juice, which oozes
into the stomach whenever food is put
into it. The gastric juice is a clear,
coIorless, acid iiuid, which flows free
ly into the stomach, as we have said,
whenever food is taken into it. The
free acid present in the gastric Juice
(of the dog) is Tactic acid. The gas
trio juice has very slight tendency to
putrefactiOn, and may be kept for an
infinite length of time in common
glass bottle without developing any pu-
crescent Odor. The peculiar property
of this fluid is that it dissolves meat,
boiled white of egg, and such sub
stances. 1t does so even outside the
body, but it does so best inside the
body, assisted by the high temperature
of the stomach and by its peculiar
movements. Gastric juice does not
dissolve fat, nor starch, nor oil. It's
proper duty is to dissolve meat, gluten

How TO Cut Glass with a Piece Of
Iron,

Draw with apenciI on paper any pat
tern to which you wish the glass to
conform; place she pattern under the
glass; holding both together with the
left hand, (fOr the glass must not rest
on any plain surface;} then take a spike
or piece of iron, heated, and pass It
slowly forward and the edge viii imme-
diateIy crack; continue moving THERON
slowly over the glass, tracing the pat
tern, and the clink in the glass will fol-
low at the distance Of abAut half an inch
in every direction, according to the
motion of the iron. 1t may sometimes
be found requisite, however, especially
in forming cor,.rrs, to apply wet fin
ger to the opposite side of the glass.
Tumblers or other glass may be cut or
divided very fancirully by similar
means. The iron must be re-heated az
often as the crevice in the glass ceases
to fOw.-Scientiic american.
