Ia regard TO the attempt on the part OF
brokers and Spectators to deprecia:e tie
trade dollar, the Chicago J01uaH says:
There is mach feelln- in this city and vi
entity on the part of persons who have be-
oolas the innocent poSss sSoTs OF the silver
trade dollars, which 1t is now attempted TO
force down 10 80 cents, because they are not
legal tenders. Inquiry among the brokers
here has resulted in the info nation that
they are paying - 10 % cents for the trade
dollar. These coins are worth par for the
trade fer which they were lnieuded-iJ Chi

IChiraun Trf hrna on

At Lake Otsego, the other day, there
was lively little episode, in which mar
ried woman fourished pistol in the face
OF her husband, who was Just then In COM
paLy with another good-looking female.
The husband took in the situation BY in
stict and cried out, Don't shoot me, dar-
ling" and the irate wife, thinking better of
it, let him of. She now confesses that
there was no real cause for the hostile dem
onstration, and is filled with fruitless re-
greet that she made such an exhibition of
herself. However, the expression of the
frightened husband conscience makes
towards of US ALI is likely to become
popular phrase, and We will soon hear the
boys on the streets singing snatches of that
popular melody, "Don't Shoot Me, Darl-
ing, as We now hear them singing "Shoo-
BY" AMI "Sweet By-and-By."

The subject of home buildings is one of
the most important questions to be consid-
cred by the farmers in their meetings, ag-
ricultural associations and oranges, and
plans for laying out grounds into fields,
lawns, orchards, groves and yards should
be discussed by speakers and essayists who
have made the subject of landscape gar
dening and branches connected with 1t a

An ornamented and comfortable home

Boys often think it does not make any
difference how they live when they are
young; that when they come to settle down
as men they can leave all their wild ways
and begin again Whenever they sop do
ing wrong, they think they will be Just the
same as if they had always done right
But this is a great mistake. Every thing
a boy or man does helps to make him.
Every boy should be careful not to fall in
to any habits he does not want to carry
with him after he grows up, for he will
find it very hard work for to throw them
off. Whatever he would like to be when
he becomes man, he should try to be
while he is boy.

SELECTING SEED.-When it is inconve-
nient to attend to the selection Of good seed,
1t is profitable to pay double or treble the
market price for grain to a farmer who
will take pains to grow nice, clean seed of
the best varieties, than for farmer to 20 to
his own bin and take the seed "a it comes,
good and poor, with many foul seeds in it.
A farmer who sows poor seed may save a
dollar per acre, but he will lose ten for
every one saved.

application OF collodion as the best pro-

horses from the friction or pressure OF the
saddle or the harness. The collection
dries instan;aneous!y, forming thin film
over the tender place, which is thus pro-
tected from dirt and air, and placed under
the most favorable conditions for rapidly
