The Bitter Bit.

Sometime in 1864 there were a num-
ber of army officers stopping at hotel
in Washington. Among them was
Captain Emerson. There was also n
Captain Jones, who was first-rate fel.
low, good officer and very pompous
Emerson and Jones used to have a good
deal ofjoking together ut the table and
elsewhere.
One day at the dinner table, when the
dining-hall was well-filled, Captain
Jones finished his dinner first, got up
and walked almost TO the dining-hall
door, when Emerson spoke to him in Il
loud voice, and said: "Halloa, captain,
see here, l want to speak to you a min
ute" The,captain turned and walked
back to the table and bent over him,
when Emerson whispered, Il wanted
to ask you how far you would have gone
if had not spoken to you?"
The captain never changed muscle,
but Strengthened up and put his finger
into his vest pocket and said, in voice
loud enough for all to hear to him,
Captain Emerson, l don't know of a
man in The world l would rather lend
five dollars to than you, but the fact is
haven't cent with me to-day" and
he turned On his heel and walked away.
Emerson was the color of half dozen
rainbows but he had to stand it. He
never heard the last ofit.-DetroH NeWs.

Eggs and Cats in Law.

There is a famous case on the books of
II Norman hotel keeper and the GUS
toner who ordered u siX-cgg omelette
prepared but went away in a hurry with
out paying for it. and when he returned
fifteen years later offered the landlord
fifteen francs, being for the original cost
of the eggs and the interest thereon COM
pounded. The landlord claimed fabu-
lous sum, alleging that the six eggs
would have produced so many chicks,
from which would have issued so many
hens; that with the product of these in
Vulnerable fowls he would have bought
Il farm, which in so many years would
have yielded so much money. which be.
ing invested. etc. The court, however,
non suited the landlord because the
eggs had been broken for the omelette,
and so could not have been hatched.
The case has been outdOne in an In
dian court. A, b, G and ID buy cotton
in partnership and store it in IA ware
house which is invested with rats. To
discourage these vcrmin they buy a cat.
of which each is to own Il leg. The
cat breaks that one of her legs which is
owned by A, who binds it up with cot
ION soaked in oil. The cotton takes
file, the cat takes refuge in the midst OF
the cotton bales and the whole property
is destroyed; whereupon B, e and u
sue A, alleging that it was his leg which
caused the conflagration. The court
promptly decides against them with
costs, and orders them to pay A Tor his
cotton and bear their own losses, on the
ground that the cat couldn't walk on the
broken leg, so that it was the three
sound legs which carried her into the
cotton.-IdTis Figaro.

A Cure for CrOul.

Group, tbs said, can be cured in one
minute, and the remedy is simply
alumni and sugar, The way to accom-
plish the deed is to take knife or
CRATER and shave off in small particles
about Il teaspoonful of alunn; then mix
it with twice its quantity of sugar, TO
make it palatable, and administer it as
quickly as possible. Almost instanta-
neous relief will follow. If the child 9
very young. the nurse must hold il
steadily Especially if it be in iit) with
both hands, while another person adds
the water. A hot cloth and blanket
should be got ready to receive the child
directly it is taken out of the bath. so as
to prevent any sudden chill. Five to
fifteen minutes, or longer, according to
circumstances, is the time the bath may
be used. A proper thermometer for the
bath is valuable, for the exact tempera-
ture of the water can be thereby noted.
At the first immersion of the child the
water should be about eighty degrees,
which can then be broa ght up to ninety
six degrees or 100 degrees.

Save the Rags.

"A penny saved is penny got" is a
maxim as true as it is old. And there is
many a neglected opportunity in almost
every household by which pennies that
are otherwise allowed to 60 to waste
might be saved to the family. Take the
one item of rags. How few housewives
think of saving the little scraps of calico,
of linen, and the old worn. out clothes,
and selling them to the paper -manufac-
turersp Thousands upon thousands Of
dollars are thus wasted every year that
ought to go into the family Golfers. If
housewives and their children and help
mates would carefully save all the rags
through the year, and lay aside the re-
ceipts from the sales, they would be as
tonished, when the holidays came
around. at the size of the fund accumu-
lated from this source. The recent
rapid advance in the price of rags rem
ders it doubly important that the matter
should be attended to. If the "gude
wife" don't feel like bothering her head
and hands with the matter, then let hel
encourage the children in the work. Ii
will pay to save the rags. Don't neg.
