DAs De GUILE tells n good story ut
the expense Of Hon. Hugh CARING.
Some years ago Hugh was in Eureka.
Not having any thing to 90 when he
first arrived in town, he wore away q
coed deal of time at n saloon kept by
IN old acquaintance, whom he happen
ed to find there. One morning this
friend had some business out Of town
and got Hugh to take charge during his
absence. Some person who was in the
saloon when Hugh took command, went
GU among the boss jokers Of the town
aud put up a job on him. Soon one of
the jokers went into the saloon and
called for "real firSt-rate whiskey," and
after taking q light swallow Of it. went
into q terrible psroxysm OF coughing
and left. Hugh was frightened and be-
wildercd, but lie tasted the whisSey and
found it oil right. In a few Minutes
another customer came in and called
for good brandy, swallowed q little,
coughed violently and left. Again
Hugh tried the liquor and found it nc
cording to label. Tho third joker soon
arrived and called for puro gin. Hugh
set out the bottle with one hand aud
with the other brought up from under
the bar cooked revolver, which he
pointed at the mau's head saying:
"Now, you cough, d-n you!" Tina:
customer didn't cough.-[Lyon County

A hilarious sort of man who does
business on Griswold street, entered the
Office of an acquaintance the other day,
and asked for the loan of $25. The gen

himself to say:

have it my family will want for food be-

''Shoo! I guess not! You let me have
the money, and if you get out of provis-

The DaIry Trade.

Mr.. ]. II. Reall, leading butter and
cheese dealer of New York, gave an ad-
dress before the American Dairyman's
Association on the past, present and f'l-
ture of the butter and cheese trade. l
was quite hopeful in tone as to the future
of the dairy business in this country, but
reflected severely upon the course OF
many of the cheese makers, especially OF
Ohio, in that they had lowered the stand
ard of quality of their cheese for the sake
of little temporary gain, by resorting
to skimming the milk so generally for
butter. then making second-rate cheese,
not suited for the foreign markets, and at
the same time discouraging home con-
sumption. He urged the cheese-makers
| to skim less or none at all, and also to use
| all the best appliances and knowledge for
the purpose of improving the quality of
| their cheese. He said there was gradu-
| al increase of the foreign demand for
good cheese, and he was sure the home
consumption would also increase if a good
and wholesome article was generally fur
nished. He said eff consumers of all
classes understood that cheese at any
price under double the cost of meat, was
third the cheaper while much more
wholesome and nutritious, treble the
quantity would be used in this country
Unfortunately, through avarcice, we have
, always given the most inferior cheese we
produce to the home trade, going so fal
as to practice this short-sighted policy
with the very people who furnish mill
from which the cheese is made-hence
is only from sheer eompulsion that ou
: own nation eat any cheese at all. If W
h gave them the best, which, by the way
the foreign consumer gets as cheaply a
our own people do the reflections, W
a should soon have such a demand 70
cheese in America, that we should nc
depend so largely upon the foreign trad
+ for market. Our people like fines full
n cream cheese as we'll as do our Englisl
cousins, and they should no longer b
e put off with SKINNED and half-skimme
m | oOods .

celery For Farmers.

This vegetable is not so generally culti-
vated as it should be. for the reason,
doubtless, that the millions who could
most easily have it, have never learned to
like it. AS with tomatoes and some other
vegetables, the taste for celery has to be
cultivated; but when once acquired it is
never lost, and no delicacy of the garden
is more highly appreciated. In most
parts of the country the use of celery is
principally confined to city people, while
farmers do not known or care for it.
There never has been, and never will be,
too much labor employed in producing
articles which add to human happiness,
but it often happens that this labor is so
misdirected that some products are great
er in quantity than for the time can be
used, and so labor is poorly rewarded
