PITH AND POINT.

THE most playful thing we ever en-
eountered, kittens not excepted, is the
man with the new trombone.
NATURE may have had some special
reason for heaping so much beauty on
the worthless butterfly and so little on

8 AM past 60 years old, and every
now and then I meet a relick who knu
me 45 years ago, and remembers some
devitry l was guilty of then. Amt it
strange how tenacious the memory is of
those things, and howweak it is ov emmy
thing good feller may have accident
ally done ?''-JoSh Billings.
"BOY, don't you know any better
than to be lettering around the streets
in this way on this beautiful Sabbath

just as soon as the other fellows come

MORE sensible than her mother was
that little girl who stood by an elegant
-,F 10
day, her cheap dress indicating that she
was a labOrer's child. Her mother,
pointing at the biggest and most richly
dressed of the dolls, said: Z" You would
like to have that, wouldn't you, LouiseP''
q Oh no, mamma; not that one; it's too
well dressed for me- And what diff
ference does that make to you?'' &" Why,
I'd want to be my doily's mamma, and
not her servant-girl.n -
A BoLb, bad burglar recently broke
into the house of an editor, in the
watches of the night. The editor awak-
ened and questioned the intruder:
Z" What do YOU want here? What look
you for?'' Said the burglar, gruflly,
. Money" q Hold on a minute" quoth
the editor, " and l will help you; I've
been looking myself for ten years, but
perhaps the two of us may have better
luck" Then was the burglar much dis
gusted, but the editor called it joke
and insisted that the burglar ought to
set 'em UPS iStilI10ateT L1tnabeTnaGn.
s'Now, ladies and gentlemen,'
shouted the book-agent, g before the
picnic concludes want to sell every one
of you a copy of the Life of POca-
hontas.' She was an Injun girl, Poky
was-they called her Poky for short
but she wasn't the kind that went around
peddling baskets and blOw-guns. Not
frequently. She staid at home play
ing croquet in the front yard, or went to
the Ladies' Aid Society, and didn't take
no copperas off o. nobody. The cele-
brated John Smith came travelling
through them parts as agent for a family
paper, but Poky wouldn't let her father
raise a club. She married Smith after
wards, and the last act of her life was to
die of consumption" just here Officer
Uncle Sammy Jones approached with a
shotgun and the meeting adjourned.

Great Place for Wheat.

Let's see, they raise some wheat in
Minnesota, don't theyP" asked a Scho-
harie granger of a Minnesota man.
g Raise wheatl Who raises wheat?
No, sir; decidedly no, sir. 1t raises
itself. Why, if we undertook to culti-
vate wheat in that State it would run US
out. There wouldn't be any place to put
our house."
"But I've been told that grasshoppers
take a good deal of it
'sOf course they do. If they didn't
don't know what we would do The
cussed stuff would run all over the State
and drive us out-chOke us up. Those
grasshoppers are a Godsend; only there
amt half enough of EN-
- Is that wheat nice and plump?'
s'Plumpi Why, 1 don't know what
you call plump wheat, but there are sew
enteen in our family, including ten serv-
ants, and when we want bread we just
go out and fetch in a kernel of wheat
and bake it.
Do you ever soak it in water first?'
'Oh, no; that wouldn't do. 1t would
swell a little, and then we couldn't get
it in our range oven. .''-NsS0 York World,

Facts About Flour.

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to the at
mospheric influences, hence it should
never be stored in a room with sour
liquids, nor where onions or fish are
kept, nor any article that taints the air
of the room in which it is stored. Any
smell perceptible to the sense will be
absorbed by flour Avoid damp cellars
or lofts where a free circulation of air
can not be obtained Keep in cool,
dry, airy room, and not exposed to a
freezing temperature nor to intense
summer or to artificial heat for any
length of time above 80 to 10 degrees
Fahrenheit 1t should not come in con-
tact with grain or other substances
which are liable to heat. Flour should
be sifted and the particles thoroughly
disintegrated and then warmed before
baking. This treatment improves the
color and baking properties of the
dough. The sponge shoa.d be prepared
for the oven as soon as the yeast has
performed its mission, otherwise fer
mentation sets in and acidity results

Artemus Ward in London.

On the mantel-piece at the Savage
Club you see busts of Dickens and
Thackeray, and around the walls pic
lures of many distinguished men. Per-
haps the largest picture there is that of
an American, Charles F. Browne, better
known as Artemus Ward. 1t has the
post of honor, and hangs above the seat
of the master of ceremonies. He was
the first literary American, perhaps, who
ever got wholly into the great, warm
hearts of the English. Here they tell
you how he first made them laugh. He
had been dined at the Savage Club and,
in return, invited some of the members
to dine with him. Now the great hui
mOrist was poor and very democrat
ic man, and so chose rather plain inn
for his dinner. The butter brought on
the table was not nice. 1t was, to say
the least, suggestive. g Waiter,' said
Artemus Ward, % haven't you got some
bald-headed butter? Take away this
butter and bring some bald-headed but
ter Nobody smiled, nobody thought
of laughing. The stiff and stOlid En-
glishmen went back to their club-rOom,
after leaving their host, and began to
discuss the great American humorist.
Suddenly one of their number sprang to
his feet and began to laugh. "Oh!
now, l say, did you ear him talk about
bald 'eaded butter? Why be wanted
butter without 'air in it, you know. -
Very slow are those honest English to
see American jOkes.-,gOdqIiB Miller, IN

A WOman's Glove.

A woman's glove is to her what a vest
pocket is to a man. But it is more ca
pacious, and in ninety-nine instances out
of hundred it is much better regulated.
A man will carry 5000 worth of small
change, four matches, half Il dozen
tooth-picks, short pencil, and yet not
be able to find nickel, or a match, or
a tooth-pick, or pencil or a card when
he wants it. Not so with woman.
She has the least bit of a glove, and in
that glove she carries the tiniest hand,
and wad of bills, and the memOran-
dunn for her intended purchase of dry
goods, and car tickets, and matinee
checks, and may be diminutive pow
der bag. We have no idea how she
does it-hOw she manages to squeeze
those thousand and one things into that
wee space. But she does it every time,
and the glove never looks the least dis
composed or plethOric or ruffled. And
when a woman wants any article con-
cealed about that glove, she doesn't seem
to have the least trouble in the world
getting at it. All that is required is a
simple turn of the wrist, the disappear
ance of fairy fingers, and the desired
article is brought to light! 1t is won
der that no savant can explain.-B0St01a

In the POOr-house at Ninety.

With wealthy relatives, well-tO-do
children and grandchildren, an old lady,
aged over 90 years, was compelled to
apply and was on Friday received in the
Patterson, n. J., Almshouse. The Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Perry, refuses to
divulge her name, but knows her family,
and says that she asks only for quiet
place in which she may await death,
with little food until then. She was
widowed 10 years ago for the third time
She had a considerable property, but
was persuaded to part with it long ago.

EARTH's BEAUTY.
Woo NO we nom to llqht?

Were not we born TO light?
Aye, and we saw the men and women as saints
Walk in a garden All our thoughts are fair;
Our simple hearts, as dOvecotes tull of doves,
Made home and nest for them. They hut
And fiocics of them few white about the world.
And dreams were like to ships that noated us
Far out on silent floods, apart from eaftn,
From hfe-so far that we could see theirlights
In heaven, and hear the everlasting tide
All dappled with that fair refected goiur
Wash up against tine city wall, ana SOD
At the dark bows of vessels that drew on,
Heavily freghted with departed souls
To whom did spirits sing; but on that song
Might none, albeit the meaning was right
Impose the harsh captivity of words.
Full excellent was morning.; whether deep
The snow lay keenly white, and shrouds of
Blurred the gray breaker on a long foreshore,
And swarming plover ran, and wild white
And sea pies printed with "A thousand feet
The fallen whiteness, making shIill the storm
Or whether, sOOthed of sunshine, throbbed
The mill atween its towering maple trees,
And churned the leaping beck that reared and
A diamond dripping wheel
The happy find
Equality of beauty everywhere
To feed on. All of shade and sheen is theirs;
All the strange fashions and the fair wise ways
OF lives beneath mans own. He breatheS Ge-
Whose soul is fresh, whose feet are wet with
And the melted mist of morning; when at
watch,
Sunk deep In fern, he marks the stealthy roe
Silent as sleep or shadow, cross the glade,
Or dart athwart his view as August stars
Shoot and are out, while gracefully pace on
The wild eyed harts to their traditional tree
To clear the velvet from their budded horns
There is no want; both God and life are kind
1t Is enough to hear, it is enough
To see the pale wide barley field they love,
And its weird beauty, and the pale wide moon
That lowering seems to lurk between the
shcavcs
So I'm the rustic hamlet at high noon
The white owl sailing drowsed and deaf with
sleep,
To hide her head In tuITets Drowned of moss
That is the rust of time Aye so the pinl1s
And mountain grass marked on sharp sea
cliff,
While far below the northern diver feeds;
She having ended settling she sits,
Like vessels water logged that sink at sea
And quietly into the deep go down.
II is enough TO wake, it Is enough
To sleep; with God and time he leaves the
rest.
But on day Death on the doors step sits,
Waiting, or like vciled woman walks
Dogging his footsteps or athwart his path
The splendid passion flower, love, unfoldS
Buds full of sorrow, not ordained to know
Appcosement through the answer OF Il sigh
The kiss of pity with denial given,
The crown and blossom of accomplishment
Or haply comes the snake with subtlety
And tempts him with an apple to know all.

In planting strawberries, says a Ny
Tribune correspondent, when the soil is
dry, much moisture is secured, and also
grateful shade, by covering the entire
row two inches deep and two feet wide
with straw, and leaving it there till after
the next good rain. 1t is conceded that
strong, clay loans, not too compact,
produce the largest strawberries, but
they must not be grown on the wide
matted-rOw system common to sandy
soil. Narrow rows-the narrower the
better-or hills, are here indispensable.
