I'm glad it was the eyeglasses, and
not me, this time.7 This has taught

one | shall remember through life.
That evening Katy am to me
with some kitchen trouble. The
cook had done So and so, and she
had said so aud SO. When her

truth is, everybody wears these

to get it off.

Early Shearing.

1t is injurious to sheep to shear
them early in the spring unless
they are provided with shelter to
keep of rain, and ward of the FIRE.
quent cold blasts which occur at
this season of the year. Sheep
sheared early and compelled to
take rain and all kinds of weather
in the changeable months of March
and April, r subject to become
diseased. They are frequently
chilled by the cold rain which comes
in contact with their skin and
which not unusually affects the
constitution of the sheep and
weakens them to such an extent
that they are slow TO recuperate
their former strength and thrift.
We see no advantage whatever in
sheariug early. 1t works an in
jury to the sheep and fails to bene-
fit in any way the purse Of the own
err. Don't shear sheep too early,
lest you lose by it in many ways.

A Fish Story.

The following fish story can be
proven as true beyond "a doubt.
Last evening a colOred man car
ried a Mississippi river fish of large
size to his home near South Jack
son and Main streets, and told his
wife to cook it for supper. The
wife cut the fish open, to clean it,
but in the stomach she found "a
hand, minus the thumb, of II three
year old child, judging from its
size and appearance. Numbers of
people, whites and blacks, visited
the cabin of the colored nan and
examined the hand. 1t Is needless
to state that the Bsli was not
cooked by that colored woman for
supper, neither was it pseserved
for breakfast Vicksburg Herald.
