Rudeness Rebuked.

A young lady, well known in fash
iOnable circles of Edinburgh, was ac-
customed to use her eye-glass In the
street in way that often bordered o.
impertinence. One day she received a
singing rebuke, which made her drop
the impudent habit. While walking
in the street with several other fash
ionable ladies, she met a country cler-
gyman of emlnence and keen wit, but
ungainly in appearance and rough in
attire. Putting her glass to the eye,
she watched him very intently.
The clergyman was quite equal to
the emergency. Walking directly 10
her, he took her hand and said:
"My dear Marie, how do you do {:
How are your worthy father and ven-
cradle mother? and when did you come
to town."
Overwhelmed with surprise, she said
with some alarm, "You are mistaken,
sir!"
"What! is it possible" he replied
"that you do not know me?"
"Indeed, do not. sir?"
Neither do you," said the minis
ter. Good morning, madam"
Making ceremonious bow, he walk
ed away, while her companions laugh
ed at the bold girl for the rebuff she
had received. Her eye-glass was never
used again TO quiz strangers.

a wELL-knOwn Joker, being one
night at theatre, fancied he saw a
friend some three seats in front of him.
Turning To his next neighbor, he said :
would you be kind enough to touch
that gentleman with your stick ?"
"Certainly," was the reply, and the
thing was done. But when the indi-
vidual thus assaulted turned round, the
wag saw he was not the man he took
him for, and became at once absorbed
in the play, leaving his neighbor with
the stick TO settle matters with the
gentleman in front, which, as he had
no excuse ready, was not done without
considerable trouble. When the hub
bub was over the victim gaid, "Didn't
you ask me, sir, 10 tap that man with
my stick?" Yes" "What did you
want?" "Oh," said the joker, with
imperturbaDle gravity, 81 wanted to

AGRICULTURE.

RUST ON WHEAT.-The commissioner
of agriculture of North Carolina, in
his monthly report for July says: "The
damage TO this important crop (wheat)
by rust i'm this country may safely be
estimated by millions annually, and it
continues to battle all efforts to find II
remedy. In the August number of the
Southern CultiUdt0r, Mr., j. ID. Cooper,
of Greenville, 5. c., gives the follow
ing, which he claims upon thorough
test to be infallible. He says that this
recipe has stood the test of thirty years
in Germany, and | reproduce 1t here
with the hope that some of our farmers
will give il u trial and report the result.
Some hours-at the longest six or eight
before sowing-prep0re Il steep of three
measures of quick lime and ten meas
urcs of cattle urine, pour two quarts of
this upon peck of wheat and stir with
n spade until every kernel is covered
with it. BY using this rust of every
kind will bc avoided.' AS remedy
against smut and other fungous growth
of It's class, the remedy Is good, but
rust is produced by an entirely differ
ent set of conditions the conditions dur
ing rIpening being disabilities from
rust.
SWINE AS INSECT DEsrRoYERs.-
Swine are we'll known destrOyers of
the white grubs which infeSt meadows
and otner lands. AS this insect, the
larva of the May beetle, lives in the
land until the third season before il
transforms, Ii often does great damage
To crops. We have seen the grpss roots
of meadows So completely eaten off
from one to two inches under the sur
face, that the sod could be rolled up
like scroll. So also, hogs eagerly
search for variety of insect life of
which they are fond. Pigs also are
said to hunt for the nests of field mice
and devour the young. 1t has been
thought by some German farmers that
the late plague of mice in Germany may
be attributed TO the practice now preva-
lent there, of keeping swine entirely
penned up, instead of allowing them as
heretofore their liberty in tie fields.
Certain it is, that not only in the fields
bat in our orchards swine may become
great helps In the destruction OF not
only Vermin, but many nOXious insects.
THE ground for beets, like that for
any other crop, should be mellow, till
ed deeply, and rich. The seed should
be sowed as early as possible, in rows
from two and half TO three feet apart,
so as to allow the use of the cultivator
between, and the seed should be sown
ut the rate of three to four pounds TO
the acre, and the plants thinned out if
need be, transplanted SO as to stand
from twelve to fifteen inches apart; this
will give large roots, and crop of
tweL ty-five To thirty-tive tons TO the
acre.
PORK differs from beef and mutton,
not in flavor only, but in the larger
proportion of fat 10 lean flesh. This is
due both 10 the nature of the animal in
its tendency 10 store up fat, and to the
habit of SO feeding and treating it that
this tendency may be fully developed.
The pig stores up In its body three
times more of its food than the OK, and
by so much tits more cheaply and quick
ly grown and fattened.

To MAKE NINEGAR.-GOOd vinegar
can be made with sugar, water and
yeast, but cider vinegar is better. For
the former, boil coarse sugar with
water III the proportion of IA pound for
each gallon, and skim the mixture.
When luke-warm, add yeast; pint
for every three gallons of water. 1t is
best to spread the yeast on toasted
bread. Let 1t work for twenty-four
hours, then turn into a cask or jug and
expose to the heat of the summer sun,
or place it near the fire. Fasten a
piece of netting over the bunghole to
keep out flies and insects. At the end
of three weeks or month it will be
very good vinegar II the heat has been
great enough; il not, it will require
longer. 1t will of course improve with
age.

Now that colors are so largely used
in stockings, and so many are ruined
in the laundry, good plan in washing
them is to roll them, after being rinsed,
into piece of white linen and squeeze
it, to remove all the moisture possible,
then dry, and the stockings will look
new again. 1t is also good plan to
put small spoonful of spirits of sal
into the water in which stockings are
washed in order to keep in the colors.

HUMOROUS.

TRAVELLING tramp was trying to
sell tOothache-drops and corn-salve to
small crowd at the head of Monroe
avenue. AS sales were slow he thought
to Halter the crowd by saying: "Gen-
tlemen, l have travelled over $4,000
miles In this country, seen all sorts OF
people and come In contact with all
colors, and | must say that you twenty
men now surrounding me have the
most intelligent appearance of any
coterie | ever saw" In the crowd was
"a siX-foOter who drives coal-cart. lie
had been chewing gum In very de-
liberate and methodical manner, and
when the speech was ended he slowly
turned from man to man to see what
effect had been produced. Finding a
look OF Indifference on each face he
swallowed his quid, pushed his way to
the front, and kicking over the dry
goods box used by the "doctor" as a
counter, he flourlshed his fists and
called out "Mebbe this 'ere crowd
can stand 10 be insulted TO its teeth,
but Pm n clothes-pln who can't De
stepped on In my own town by stran-
ger! Gone up here like man and
strike right out from the shoulder
No man can call me n coterie and keep
Il sound head on him!" The doctor
had pressing business elsewhere.
WHAT He WANTED.-As he walked
into the grocery store the clerk leaned
over the counter and asked him what
he wanted.
"Do look rs though in need of any
thing?'
81 thought perhaps you wanted some
potatoes" the clerk said, appologeti-
cally.
''Is there anything peculiar about my
eyes, nose or teeth which seems to sug-
gest lack of potatoes on my part?"
81 don't know that there is.'
"Can you construe the appearance of
the lobe of my left ear into an admis-
sion that at the present moment | am
out of wine-jelly and cucumbers? Can
you infer from the disheveled state of
my hair that my children are at home
crying for soft crabs and tomatoes?
Well, | didn't suppose you could. |
don't want to buy anything; but I'n
be Obliged to your you'll lend me your
coal shovel for an hour or two?"
It was handed out to him.

How TO LIME EGGs.-Eggs are lined
by packing them in a liquid made as
follows, viz. One peck of fresh lime
is slaked in sufficient water to make n
thin paste; when thoroughly slaked,
which will require twenty-four hours,
water is added to thin 1t so that it can
be strained through fine scive into a
clean barrel, which is then filled up
with water, the eggs, perfectly fresh,
are laid carefully into kegs or barrels,
and the stirred lime liquor is poured
over them, a board being floated on top
to keep the eggs under the surface.

An Arizona Venus,

her father, passed through Ell Moro yes

Kansas from Tucson, Arizona, some seven
hundred miles away, and have yet six
hundred more to make before their jour.
ney is ended. Miss Carrie has rather a
pretty face and impressive form-not
such a one as the young man of to-day,
with the blonde moustache and hair
parted in the middle, would select to
whisper sweet sentiments over the garden
gate to-but the girl for an Indian fight
or "bar" hunt you could always rely
on. She sported nary diamond or coral
necklace, but was muscled like an Anna
zon and had a fist like Morrissey. She
was girl of nerve, too, we reckon, for
on her saddle hung Ballard rife and a
brace of Colts revolvers. She informed
the writer that she had seen much of life
in the past six months, and but little of
newspapers, and was anxious to know
what was going on in the world. We
gave her copy of the Weekly News and
the Denver Tribune, which, womanlike,
she placed with blush in her bosom,
thanking us at the same time, and went
on her way rejoicing.
