HUMOROUS.

The "HEY?" FEVER. - Up Wood
ward avenue a piece is one OF those
men who, even if he understands per-
fectly well any inquiry addressed 10
him, invariably replies Hey ana
the inquiry must be submitted again
The world has tens of thousands oil
these "heys?" but until the other day
this DetrOiter was the worst OF all.
Along came a stranger the other eve
ming who might, and might not, have
known of this mans eccentricity. En-
tering the store he remarked:
81 want four pounds of sugar.
"Hey? replied the other.
81 said wanted sausage-stuffer,
continued the man.
What-hey?
81 asked if you had pickles in vine
gar" coolly remarked the stranger.
.Hey?"
"I-want-a- -gallon-of-
turpentine,' slowly returned the
stranger.
BLESS your soul, but 1 don't keep
it !" suddenly exclaimed the citizen.
II didn't suppose you did"
"Hey?"
ssT said I'd take some liver pills in
the place of il"
No doubt the dealer had heard every
single word of the entire conversation,
and he didn't like it very well, either,
but habit prevailed, and again he called
out, &" Hey?"
'.Calieo, Calico" shouted the
stranger. ''I've asked you dozen
times over if you had any good, eight
cent calico?'
No, sir-no, sir-no, SIR" was the
indignant answer.
"Hey?" called the stranger, his
hand to his ear.
The citizen looked around for the
four pound weight, but when he found
it there was nothing to throw at.

AGRICULTURE.

SHFFp UUsBANDRY IN TEXAS In IL
lustration of the rapidity with which
sheep husbandry is advancing in Texas
Sheen HusJd,,dry in the SoBth says that
during the year 1866 San Antonio raised
but COG, 900 pounds of wool In lsI
the amount received was ,OOO.OOO
pounds. This year there Will be snip
ped 6 800. 900 pounds. John L. Hayes,
i'm an address before the National Con-
gress at New Haven, CT, touching up
on the subject of extended wool-ralsiug
in Texas, said that with its nearly
4, ,000. 900 head of sheep, only two coun-
ties (Nueces and Starr are occupied,
and there are 50, 900, 900 of land still un-
located. If two acres are required for
one sheep-the usual estimates ana
ouly half the land is fitted for sheep
culture. there are still enough unoccu-
pied lands to support 2O,O00,O 900. In
Texas is found climate so mild that
sheen will thrive with almost no oshelter
at all. Pasturage is afforded through
out the whole year by the indigenous,
perennial mesquite grasses. Emlgra-
ton and sheep are pouring in from the
Northern States and from California
and skilled shepherds are included
from Europe and even Australia. The
wool-growers of Western Texas are be-
coming well versed in the matter of
handling their fiocks on the range and
the fleeces at sheariDg time. They are
also bestowing more attention on the
character of the breed. Good sheep
are in demand. Graded flock in which
the merino is crossed with the Mexican
sheep of the Chourro race are frequent.
This race is distinguished for its robust
temperament, the facility with which
it is nourished, Its resistance to hunger
and storms, and the rapidity with
which its ewes being crossed with pure
merinos improves the stock A plea
for long woods in place of fine woods
has recently been made in the San An
tonic cypress, which says of the long
woods, They are harder, better feed
ers, and being greater in size can travel
with less fatigue; they are also more
prolific and better mothers and their
lambs are stronger. The cost of herd
ing the long woods is much less than
for the merino, as usually 1000 to 5000
long-wool sheep are easily herded by
one man.

SCIENTIFIC.

Aniline Dyes.-There has been at var
ious times much discussion on what
NAV be termed the sanitary aspect of
the aniline dyes. Although 1t may be
at first difficult TO see in what way the
color of an article of costume can pos
sibly affect health, yet the relation OF
the one to the other is not so remote as
might be anticipated. Socks, stockings
and gloves are worn next to the skin,
and poisonous matter may thus De
brought into the system; even the very
wear and tear of ordinary costumes, In
the event of the color not being OF
very firmly adherent nature, results IN
a portion of coloring matter being lib
Grated in the form of a fine dust, and
thus inhaled by the lungs. In France,
stringent measures have had to be
adopted to prevent the artificial colora-
ton of cheap wines with ''fuchsine."
Recent experiments have now be-
vond doubt established that aniline
dyes, at least the reds and blues, are in
their pure condition comparatively in-
-rt, and that the ill effects which have
been sometimes attributed to the use OF
these dyes are traceable, not to the pure
coloring matters themselves, but to
traces of arsenic which they contained,
and which arose from inefficient purifi-
cation subsequent TO manufacture.
Enterprising scientists may always be
found who are willing to become mar
tyrs for science or for notoriety, and
the present inquiry has had its self
sacrificing hero in the form of Herr
Seidler of Rega, who administered to
himself three-quarters of a grain of
aniline red every morning for period
of five weeks, without any i'll effects.
When it is pointed out that single
grain of aniline red is sufficient to i'm
part a good pink color TO fifteen gallons
of alcohol, it would be necessary TO
drink an enormous quantity of artificial
colored wire in order to equal a single
morning performance OF Herr Seidler.
SO far the question is pra acticilly settled,
the only remaining diffiC ulty being our
inability to ascertain whsther pure or
impure coloring material has been used
in any purchased article; and it Will
therefore be better. as a simple matter OF
precaution, to be on our guard against
the indiscriminate use of al-iline dyes
for cOloring purposes

Protect the system from Malaria.

II is possible to do this even in regions Of
country where miasma Is most rife, and where
the periodic fevers which 1t causes assume
their most formidable types. The immense
popularity OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
very largely attributable to the fact Of its eff
cacy as q remedy for chills and fever, bilious
remittents, and as preventive Of the various
forms of malarial disease. In those portions
of the West and South where complaints of
this nature prevail, and in the Tropics, 1t Is
particularly esteemed for the protective influ-
ence which it exerts and 1t has been very
widely adopted as a substitute for the danger

which it has received have added to the repu-
tation it has obtained at home and abroad.

How TO USE HEN MANURE.-Manure
from the poultry house is valuable for
any crop. 1t may be spread on grass
very thinly, about two barrels per
acre being enough. One way To get it
fine is to spread it on the barn floor
and thrash it with flail, but wet
cloth shOHld be tied around the mouth
or nose while this is being done.

PRUNlNG.-Trim moderately every
year, but not heavily oftener than once
in three years. Pruning may now be
done at any time when the days is
warm; cut off no limbs that are over an
inch in diameter. If you do not under
stand pruning yourself hire it done by
a competent person, but do not send an
ignorant hired man into your orchard
to cut and hew at will.

state of this disease, treatment of any
kind will be entirely useless. The di-

for the first -branelf'OfS tile debt
when adjusted, and it ought to

investigation will disclose the a.
bility of the State to provide for
the second branch; and if so, it
ought TO be done, but no more
ought to be attempted than can
certainly be accomplished. Pru-
dent and cautions steps will lead
to satisfactory results, but if
more is attempted than can GER
tainly be accomplished, the re-
suit will necessarily be disas-
trOus.
If an adjustment is made the
coupons ought not 10 be made
receivable for taxes. The de-
mand for this condition impli s,
IA want Of confidence in the in
tegrity of the State, and ought
for that reason TO be rejected.
But as a matter of principle the
State should never consent to
put her sovereignty, which she
holds in trust for he welfare of
the people, in pledge for debt.

IfaD adjustment is made, howey-
CT, certain sources Of revenue
may be set apart for the payment
OF interest. If any part OF the
debt is adjusted, the bonds ought
to be payable after five years, at
the option of the government,
SO as to give the opportunity to
take up the bonds, or refund
them al a lower rate of interest,
if opportunity offers.
IT any plan of adjustment is
adopted, it ought TO. be submit
ted to the people for ratification
or rejection at the ballot-box,
and if approved by the people
at the polls, the Legislature will
be convened, if necessary, fol
The purpose Of enacting it into
a law. That pledge has beer
made to the people, and it ought
to be respected. IF disregarded
upon any ground, it will only
afford occasion for distrust, and
i lsure the ultimate defeat Of any
adjustment made. As the his
tory of our State debt shows that
in every contest with the bond
holder and railroad companies
on one side, and the taxpayers
on the other, that the Taxpayers
have gone down, and it is not
remarkable that they demand
the right to respect themselves.
The fact that a great variety
of opinion exists as to this vex-

suit, IS appreciated, and with an
earnest desire that a satisfact ory
