Afraid She'd be Kissed.

A man was once walking along one
road and woman along another. The
roads finally united, and man and woman,
reaching the junction at the same time,
walked on from there together. The man
was carrying large iron kettle on his
back, in one hand he held by the legs a
live chicken, in the other cane, and he
was leading. a goat. Just as they were
coming to a deep, dark ravine, the wo-
man said to the man, I'm afraid to go
through that ravine with you; 1t is lone
ly place, and you might overpower me
and kiss me by force"
"If YOU were afraid of that" said the
man, 'you shouldn't have walked with me
at all; how can L possible overpower you
and kiss you by force when l have this
great iron kettle on my back, cane In
one hand and live chicken in the other,
and am leading this goatl I might as
well be tied hand and toot!n
"Yes," replied the woman; "but if you
should stick your cane into the ground
and tie the goat to it and turn the kettle
bottom side up, and put the chicken into
it, then you might wickedly kiss NE, In
spite of my resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity, o woman"
said the rejoicing man to himself; Il
should never have thought of such ex-
pedient."
And when they care TO the ravine he
stuck his cane in the ground and tied the
goat to it, gave the chicken to the woman,
saying: Hold it while | cut some grass
for the goat" and then, lowering the ket
tie from his shoulders, imprisoned the
chicken under ii, and wickedly kissed the
woman, as she was afraid he would.

Beauty,

When the Countess Castiglione visited
England twenty years ago, Lord Palmers-
ton gave q memorable dinner, to which he
invited nine Of Engiand's greatest beau
ties to meet that Of the Castiglione, says a
letter to the London Truth. They were
aiict' 'enarRiR .Mhen she eniernd- crusbinss
Anadyomene among those Of lesser divin-
tiles, and all the criticisms ON her coiifure
toilette, naughty, imperious air, were set
at naught by the fact that every line was
perfect. / can quite believe the state
ment, for friend Of ours in Paris owns
an undraped statue for which the Coun-
tess Castiglione is said to have posed. and
it is beautiful. Our Admirable Cnchton
wonders that beauty should long be able
to endure the corrosive effects Of modern
fashionable life. Being so great power,
1t is worth preserving by more attention
to hygienic principles. ''Why were AS
pasta, Lais, and later, Ninon de lEnclos
beautiful to the cnd2 Because they cared
for and nurscG their health, their intel
lect, and all the accessories necessary for
beauty TO reign and to command They
ignored the benefits Of progress and civil
ization, caloriferoG, tight-lacing, trullles,

a. m,-all meaning poverty Of blood
and nervous exhaustion. We should nev-
er have met them at ST. Moritz," This
is one view Of the matter, but it seems to
me that, If Aspasia & Co. never grew old,
it was not only because they had the
sense to preserve their health, but because
they had no heart. Beauty possessed of
heart must suffer- 40 matter how sound
tie body, and suffering begets lines and
gray hairs even in youth. The noblest
beauty, after all, is that of expression, and
what face can express varying emotions
that has felt none! A summer-resort is
the very last place one seeks for intelli-
gence, yet even there the most beautiful
women are not the most attractive. The
woman who looks equally well morning,
noon, and night; whose face never
changes, whose brow is always serene, is
simply being whose blood never rises
above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. She may
be beauty, but for all that she is mon
strosity. As well have an iceberg for
mother, wife, sister, or friend. Give me q
heart, though it means wrinkles at 25.

Gliding Picture Frames.

Put boiled hnseed oil in a saucer and
expose it to the air Tor three or four days,
but carefully protected from dust. Mix
it with a little yellow ochTe, ground In
oil. Give the frame a coat of this and let
it stand Tor twenty four hours; twill then
be ready 10 receive the gold-leaf. Take
a small piece Of tissue paper about two
inches square, rub one side of the paper
over lightly with white wax (beeswax) or
composite candle, then take a knife with
rstraight edge, cut the gold-leaf just the
size OF the frame about one inch IN length
take it up by putting the prepared paper
upon it, remove it to the frame, and rub
over lightly with the finger. In putting
on more pieces OF leaf be sure to let them
rest about the sixteenth OF an inch over
the former pieces. When the frame is
covered all over pat gently with cotton
WOOL. The light co.ored leaf should be
chosen as it docs not contain such great
amount OF alloy as the darker. There
need be no fear of showing any iointings
il care is taken to put the pieces SIX
teenth Of an inch over each length as you
90 on. There are also methods OF gild-
ing with q tip, and from the book, but
the above is the easiest way. You must
paint The frame with white paint three
times, then let it harden, leaving two or
more days between each coat, and after
wards rub well with fine glass cloth; then
apply oil gold size and put the frame
aside away from dust until it feels just
dry, then apply the gold-leaf, which must
be cut to the proper size with a gilder's
knife on a gilder's cushion, and be applied
with gilder's tip. To make the tip lift
the gold gilders generally stroke it across
the hair or whiskers and pad it down
with cotton. See that all parts are well
covered, and put the frame away for few
hours, then rub off the superfuous gold
and the work is finished,

Changed Her Mind.

A fair dame Of Eureka, New, threaten
ed to sue wealthy gentleman for breach
of promise. Rather than have his fellow
men suspect that he was not man who
lived up to his word, he offered to marry
her, and procured a license from the coun-
ty clerk. At the hour appointed for the
ceremony the bride and groom were upon
the floor Of hotel before a magistrate,
with their hands joined. The bridegroom
promptly made his responses and prom
ised TO love and cherish her. The magis-
trate turned to the bride with the ques-
ton: "Will you have this man to be
your welded husbandI" The response
came quickly and angrily: mo, l WON'T >
and, tearing herself away from the bride
groom, she sailed out of the room under
full head of steam, with her mother in
tow. The bridegroom was stunned for a
moment, and then, recovering his self-pos-
session, accepted the congratulations OF
the wedding guests on iis unexpected de-
liverance, and ordered up two baskets Of
champagne.

Killing q Cat.

1t requires ten well-directed blows with
an ordinary boot jack TO kill the average
cat, and, at the distance of a foot, the
chances are ten to one that you mss the
cat. If you don't believe ii. try ii, says
the Indianapolis Journal Secure the cat
10y string one foot long. so as to give the
cat plenty of play, and after weeks prac-
ice you will consider this a scant estimate
for the cat. Therefore, at distance of
one foot it will require 100 boot-iacks.
But your chances of killing the cat de-
creases as the square of the distance in
creases. This is an axiom in natural phi
losophy and fundamental truth of feliG-
oiogy. Therefore, at distance of ten
feet it will require ten thousand.
Again, the force of the proiectile de-
creases as the square of the distance in
creases. Ten squares equal 100; 10000x
100, 100000, equals number Of boot
jacks on this count
But then the darkness Of night increases
the chances of fair hit ten to one.
Hence, at night it will require 100000
bootiacks.
Fourthly, the tom-cat being black, de
creases the chances twenty to one, accord
ing 10 the well-known rule of optics.
Fourth count, 200,000,000.
At this stage of our solution we will
leave the domain of science, and draw a
couple Of local inierences.
First, after a man has hurled 200, 0,0O0,-
600 boot-jacks he will be old, as we shall
hereafter show, and very feeble. We
have no means Of knowing how much his
projecting force would decrease, or his
aim fail. But at a very fair allowance
the chances from these two causes would
decrease in the ratio of 1O0 to /. Count
fifth, 10000, 100000
1t is true that 20,000,O0O boot-iacks
thrown round promiscuously might afford
the cat almost invincible shelter, but 10
save paper we will suppose this to dimin-
lsh the chances only as ten to one.
Count six and answer 200,000,000 900
1t is true the man might improve in his
aim, but the cat would improve equally
in his lodging
Now, suppose Adam to have thrown,
on an average, 500 per day. This is a
liberal estimate when we make no allow
ance for Sundays, "bums," mending his
breeches, blowing up Eve, etc, he would
have a job of 1,056,220 years. AT present
the cat would be ,1S6th dead or, sup
pose the weapons to contain one square
foot Of inch pipe and six eight-penny
nails. The lumber, third clear, would
cost sec per 1000 feet, or $4,000, 100000
And the nails, 15,400,00G,0O pounds at
three cents per pound, would cost $4G2,-
100000.
These figures are startling. If ever a
tom-cat is killed it is by a special inter-
yention of Divine Providence.

The Little Outeasts' Plea.
BY GEAN SMITH.

We laid in a cell, Mister Judge. all night long,
Jimmie and ne, waitin' and wishin' for the mcrn-
in to dawn,
Cause We couldn't sleep, Mister Judge, in that
cold, damp place,
And Jimmie was most scared to death at the wild
mad race
That the rats lSpt runnin' all through the dark
That's why We were glad, Mister Judge, to see the
daylight.
Please, Mister Judge, we are not very bad little
boys,
And the policeman what took US said were some
mothers joys;
He was wrong, Mister Judge, and should only
have said
That we are two ''+"le outeasts, and our mothers is
dead;
And there's no one to care for u.s. at least here be-
low,
And roof that shelters us from the rain and the
snow.
A preacher once told Us that way up in the blue
There was a God that was watchin' all that little
boys do;
And that He loved little children, and His love it
was free;
But l guess, Mister judge He don't love Jimmie
orme,
For prayed and prayed till was most out of
breath,
For somethin' to eat, and TO keep Jimmie from
death.
And that's why we're here, Mister Judge, Tor you
There was no help from above, 1 must find it be-
low.
Twas no use beggin' and be told in God must
trust
For IL begged all the day and got never q crust :
And there was poor Jimmie, hUldin' his cod little
feet,
And cIyln', and moanin', for somethln' 10 eat
So l went TO Il house that was not very far,
And saw, Mister Judge, that the back doc; was
aiar:
And table was settiu' right close by Tie door,
Just loaded with pies. about twenty or more
So / quickly slipped in and grabbed one 70 my
breast
The policeman then caught us and you know the
rest.
Discharged did you say, Mister Judge, both jim
me and /?
And-and we amt got to be Jailed cause TOOL. a
pie?
And we can eat all we want-h0w funny twill
seem
Say Jimmie, pinch me, for II think lisa dreani
Ana you'i give Us work, summer, winter and tan ::
Say, Jimmie think there's a God after ali!

Badiy-Lighted Stables.

The horse, although it looks straight
forward much more than most animals,
yet does not do SO nearly as much as man,
and therefore requires in its habitation an
arrangement Of light quite different from
that in its owners dwelling. Give the
horse the light from only one side, and 1t
will direct only one OF its eyes toward 1t,
but the other eye will be in the shade;
this inequality weaizens both eyes. Put
it in such position that it looks into the
dark, which is certainly unnatural, and
when taken out of the stable the abrupt
change from darkness 10 light will harm
it. TO place it straight against the light,
gives the latter binding effect which Is
also injurious to the eyes. The Lorsc
stable should therefore always receive the
light from above, either through sky
lights or through windows placed Lear
the ceiling in the wall to which the ami
mails head is turned as he stands in the
stall. Moreover, the stable should be al
ways bright-;,s bright, indeed, as day
light; 1or the horse is not night or tai
light animal, and is IN no need of an arti
ficial darkness, like fatteping stock.

Either as a result of the growing con-
vletion among farmers and dairymen that
the only salvation OF the farm-dairy but
ter business, from the combined effect
upon the market of the gilt-edged pro-
duct of creameries, the enormous produc-
ton OF poor butter, and the formidable
and constantly increasing competition of
/ o!eomargarine, lies in an improvement in
THEN own butter, or because of the devei-
opment and manifestation of our aesthetic
nature which is so powerfully appealed to
by the graceful form and soft coloring of
the Jersey cow, these animals have con-
tinued TO increase in price, despite the
conservatism which has been forced upon
Us by the gradual shrinkage of values,
and the depreciation OF all other varieties
of farm stock.
The histories of all nations born in hard
ship and struggling painfully towards in
dependence and wealth show a cores
ponding increase in the growth of taste
and luxury; and just as long as America
increases in material prosperity, just so
long will there be people of wealth and
taste who will seek to combine the beau
tiful with the useful in all the surround
ings of their daily life. Butter, like tea
and coffee, has become, to native-born
Americans, a necessity, and the question
Of doing without it is not for moment
taken under consideration; but the con-
yiction is unpleasantly forced upon us
sometimes, that there is butter, and the
marvel is that with well-known standard
Of taste as to quality, the markets should
e flooded with SO much that is unfit for
food. With butter at 90 cents per pound,
the consumer in moderate circumstances
tcit that he could not afford to go TO the
tup of the market, and hence contented
himself with buying an article which was
neither exactly acceptable to the eye nor
to the palate, but now, with The maximum
at half that price, or lower, the buyer
feels that he can insist upon both color
and flavor, and upon having strictly fine
quality in that necessary luxury. This
exaCting disposition in buyers has led, in
some cases, to much needed care and i'm
proyement in the methods; and in Others,
where the approved processes were in use,
to partial substitution of the Jersey, pre-
eminent among all the races of cattle as
the butter producer, for other COWS, in Or
der to give the rich color, the fineness, and
the flavor for which their butter is SO gen.
orally esteemed. Jerseys, though in ac-
tive demand East and West, have not vet
reached the realm of speculation; and
with growing appreciation of what good
butter should be, and the general i'm
provement in the business of the country,
which will enable men to crafty their
tastes, we expect to sec them go on in
creaslng IN popularity.

An Ingenious Machine.

An ingenious citizen Of Detroit has in
vented a machine for folding and wrap
ping newspapers for the Post Office. The
papers are fed very much the same as
with all folding and printing presses, and
in their motions they are folded, enclosed
in the wrapper and pasted. The work is
done very rapidly, and the paper comes
out much more neatly folded than it
could possibly be done by hand. 1t is
surprising how fast inventive skill is re-
ducing the labor OF the editor and pub
Usher. Many Of the best editorials and
poems in these days are produced by ma
chinery, and we doubt not this clever
Michigan gentleman will soon add to his
invention contrivance for addressing
and mailing the papers, and collecting
subscriptions. Let us hope thsl he will
at least do the latter
