Why is 4 that the reading room at the Cooper In.
stitute is allowed to be filled up every day by LOT
of tramps, much to the disgust and inconvenience Of
respectable and intelligent people who go there to
read? Surely the benehcent and venerable founder
OF this institution never intended the reading
room as place for elementary education arepdez
vous for tramps. I venture to say that from
twenty five to fifty enter that reading room every
day. particularly ut this Of the year. who
neither read nor write. and they an abominable
nuisance. would suggest rs remedy that each

Keeping Winter Fruit.

Apples should be gathered as late as pos
sible before cold weather, and should be
picked with the hand to ensure soundness.
Pack carefully in a clean, tight flour barrel,
shake down gently and heap upj place in a
cool, shady shed that is well open to the air,
on the north side of building, and cover
up the top with boards. Lay the barrels on
their sides on rails, and if very cold cover
mp with corn stalks. Keep out of doors as
late as possible and then remove to cool,
dry cellar, where air can be admitted on
pleasant days, Here also the barrels should
be laid on their sides and on rails.
Pears should be allowed tc hang on the
trees until frosty nights, when they should
be carefully hand picked ana wrapped sep
arateiy in paper and packed in shallow box
es, where they can be easily examined, for
some of them will probably rot. Keep COW
cred to prevent shriyellng, Place in a cool,
dry cellar, and as they begin so ripcn bring
into a warm room and wrap in wooden cloth,
and their flavor will be highly increased.
Grapes can be kept well into the winter il
care is exercised. Choose the late ripening
sorts, such as Clinton, Catawba, Diana, Isa,
bella, etc Select the finest and most ma
turcd bunches, carefully cutting out the de
caying grapes, if any, being careful not t,
disturb the bloom; after sweating few
days on a shelf in a cool place,pacb in bakcC
saw-dust or cottan batting, one layer of saw
dust and one layer of grapes, and so on
keep at an even temperature and cool a
possible, at about the freezing point.-Lak

THAT TRICK DOG.

A hump-shouldercd old man, followed by
a dog which seemed to have for year past,
entered q Woodward avenue butcher shop
the other day, and the man made some in
quiries about the price of smoked hams. The
butcher saw the dog, of course, and who ever
saw butcher who didn't want TO know all
about dog?
"Is that good coon dog?" asked the
butcher, as he patted the shy canine on the
head.
"oh, no he's a trick dog" answered the
owner.
as, eh? What tricks can he do?"
ooh, dozen or two. lie has one very
peculiar trick, though. Would you like to
see him do it?"
{" | would that. What is to"
The man directed the butcher to put a
pound Of nice beelsteak on q sheet Of clean
brown paper and place the whole on the
doorstep. He then said to his dog, which
had watched matters very keenly.
"Now, Cato, am about to call upon you
to perform Il trick. You have never gone
back on me yet, and l have perfect conf
dence in you now. Cato, do you see that
meat ?"
Cato saw it. He walked over to it, seized
it in his mouth, and as he went up the street
it was hard to tell dog from dust.
"Hum; yes" muttered the butcher; "do
you call that a trick?"
81 do" confidently replied the man.
"Well, it's blasted mean one!"
"Just so-just so," SAID the man. "You
couldn't expect such looking dog as that
to be around playing tricks on a guitar or q
jewsharP, could you? I'll seeyou later about
the hams"

HOW % Dry rIoNvcrs win sanr.


There are many of our brilliant flowers
such as dahlias, pansies, pinks geraniums,
sweet llams, carnations, gladiolus--which
may be preserved so as to retain their color
for years. White flowers will not answer
for this purpose, nor any succulent plant, as
hyacnth or cactus. Take deep dishes or
those of sufficient depth to allow the flowers
to be covered an inch deep with sand. Set
the common white sand such as is used for
securing purposes, cover the bottom oil the
dish with a layer half an inch deep, then
lay in the flowers, their stems downward,
holding them firmly in place while you
sprinkle more sand over them, until all the
places between the petals are filled, the flow
ers buried out of sight. A broad dish will ac-
commodate quite a large number. Allow
sufficient sand between. Set the dish in a
dry, worm place, where they will dry grad
ually, and at the end of the week pour of
| the sand and examine them. If there is
any moisture in the sand it must be dried
out before using again, or fresh sand may be
poured over them the same as before. Such
flowers will require weeks to dry, while 9th
ers will become sufficiently dry to put away
in week or ten days. By this simple pro.
cess flowers, ferns, ETC., are preserved in theii
proper shape, as well as in their proper col
or; which is far better than to press then
in books. When arranged in groups oi
mounted on cards or in little straw baskets
they may be placed in frames under glass

lie was fond of painting, and according
to his means encouraged both it and music.
His house was u constant resort for the
families, who came to eujoy
both the society of the gentle, genial Bishop
and the musical treats which he frequently
provided for them. lie had concert every
evening in winter when he was at home.
To teach his children music he kept Pas
quilino for four years in his house. Pas
quilino is the hero of an amusing anecdote
illustrating the blunders a man makes in
speaking a language with which he is i'm
perfectly acquainted. On one occasion he
was getting up concert in Cork. "Well,
Pasquilino," said the Bishop one day at din
ner, 81 have got rid of great many tickets,

bowed and said, "May God pickle your
Lordship, pray him." This curious prayer
was greeted with loud laughter. The poor
Italian, when he recovered from his confus-
ion, explained; "Vell, in de grammar that
my Lord gave me to teach me Inglish it is

Putting Away Potatoes.

Every method has been tried by farmers
to store and preserve their potatoes through
the winter, and we may say, until potatoes
come again. 1t is the most valuable of all
vegetables, though here and there we find a
person and writer who undertakes to tell
us Of its unwholesomeness, 1t is universal
ly consumed in all civilized countries and
where it cannot be grown it is imported,
which can be done long distances without
injury when ventilation is attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods is
adopted, yet they are practically the same,
the object being to protect them against
freezing, whether buried in pits or stored in
cellars The first consideration is to keen
them in perfect darkness the next is, the
bins should not be too deep-not over three
fiet-to produce warmth and cause them tC
sprout, When stored in the field, straight
trenches are dug say twenty feet in length
and four or fve wide, which are flled TO tn,
depth OF three feet with potatoes, then wei
covered with straw, on top of which pu

Cour.esy IN Buslness.


AS we paid our four cents for a

largest dnilies the other morning, a
pleasant 4Thgnk YOU from the clerk

about 1t since. We should not have
considered il discourteous if our

it was very much pleasanter as it
was, and the little incident set us
to thinking on the subject we have
putin the head Of this article.
Would it not be much better all

esy introduced to our business deal
ings2 We go into some shops and
Offices where there seems to be the
most utter indifference whether your
wants are supplied or not. We
sometimes meet officials on railways
or steamboats, who are almost brutal
in their manners, as if a gold band
around the cap gave them the right
to be insolent and overbearing.-
And then we find others quite the
reverse, ready to answer civil ques.
tions civily, and to promote the COM
fort of those who are temporarily
under their care. 1t is needless to
say that a little courtesy goes q
great way in making things smooth
and agreeable.
This lesson of courtesy is one it
seems to us, that young persons en-
tering in any capacity upon a bus

need be nothing fawning or shipper

thoroughly manly or womanly. But
it certainly is most easily acquired
in youth, and it will stand its pos
SCISSOR in good stead in after years.

We should bear with disagreeable
people better-and generally find
them more agreeable, probably-if
we were accustomed to look on their
mental infrmities with more of the
pity with which we regard their
physical deformities. We have only
commiseration for the man who is
born with club feet, or cross eyes, or
ST. Vitus' dance. We do not blame
and berate him that his efforts are
crippled by such disadvantages
But the man is just as deserving Of
pity who comes into life afflicted
with a clubfooted sense Of propriety,
or a oss.eyed judgment, or an cpl
leptic temper. AT least the reaec-
ton that we might not do near as
we'll as he, were we in his place,
should temper our criticism and dis
like. "You are pale" said one SOL

that implied some question of his
courage. If you were as afraid as l
am you would run away was the
