MakingHay-A Good Suggestion.

The London Agricultural Gazette
says that "Farmers who have cut
grass for hay should let it alone
during the continuance of wet
weather. There is no greater mis-
take than to break the swath, as
grass never takes less harm and
throws off more wet than just as it
sleft by the scythe or machine.
Every blade Of grass is provided by
nature with v aterproof mantle, in
the shape of an impenetrabls CLASSY
covering of silica. This envelope
is perfectly able. to keep out the
rain; but tedding and turning
breaks it and opens joints, into
which the wet enters. 1t is then
that the mischief begins, the ex-
ternal wet mingling with the inter
nal sap and causing fermentation.
How long grass will resist the bad
effects ofrain we hardly venture to
state; but We are confident that q
week or ten days bad weather will
be best met by the passive system
here indicated"
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1879-08-02

A LUDICIoUs incident occurred on
a Mississippi steamer. A man, who
was journeying to Texas with his
wife, thought he would enjoy the
luxury of shaving and shampooipg
While this was going on he con-
cluded to surprise his wife, and at
his request, hair, eyebrows, and
whiskers were changed into a raven
blackness. He fastened to the
stateroom, but was met at the door
by his spouse, outraged by the in
trusion of stranger, as she suppos-
ed, and admittance refused. He
called himself her husband she
said he was an imposter. He st-
tempted to explain it was useless.
A crowd gathered round and the
laugh became general. At last in
his perplexity the hoa1er exclaimed
"Mary, look at my feet !" One
glance at the pedal appendages
assured her. eyes, John," she
said, 81 know Them feet, They can
come in, but keep that head out OF
sight"

KEEPING THE HEAD CLEAN.--Th

KEEPING THE HEAD CLEAN The
following suggestion is worth heed
ing: A distinguished physician
who had spent much time at quaran-
tine said that person whose head
was thoroughly washed every day
rarely took contagious diseases; but
where the hair was allowed to be-
come dirty and matted, it was hard
ly possible to escape infection.
Many persons find speed reliet for
nervous headache by washing the
hair thoroughly in weak soda water.
/ have known severe cases almost
wholly cured in ten minutes by this
simple remedy. A friend finds j,
the greatest relief in cases of "rare
cold" the cold symptoms entirely
leaving the eyes aud nose after one
thorough washing of the hair. The
head should be thoroughly dried
atterward, and avoid dranghts OF
air for a little while.

U. S. versus Canadian Customs
Officers.

A Winnipeg correspondent to the
Montreal "Witness" has this to say
of his trip from Duluth to Emerson
and the officers at the points
named:
GAS soon as we arrived at Duluth,
the customs officer came aboard, and
very politely asked us to open our
baggage for it to be examined. |
might also say that we were treated
with great courtesy BY our Ameri-
can cousins. There were great in
ducemen;s held out to us to go to
the Northwest through the States.
Shortly after leaving Duluth, we
came into the valley of the ST.
Louis river, and travelled some time
along side it, enjoying the magnifi-
cent scenery to be seen there. Soon
we came to the broad prairie, and
were there reminded of the parting
of Abraham and Lot, when Abraham
said: Let there be no strife, I pray
thee, between me and thee, for is
not the whole land before thee !?
Separate thyself, pray thee, from
me if thou wilt take the left hand
| will take the right or if thou de-
part TO the right hand then will 60
to the lett We had the vast
prairie on either side of US till we
reached this city of Winnipeg. Be-
fore reaching Emerson the Canada
Customs officer came on board, and
| am sorry to say that there was no
courtesy or politcness shown to the
passengers in this case. They
were ordered around like SO many
dogs"
