FOUNDING" A MINIsTER.-Rev. J.
r. Andrew recently spent week in
Keysor, W. Va. During his absence
some of his friends projected dona-
ton party to surprise his wife. 1t
was plot to fill the larder at a time
least expected, and a Saturday even
ing was chosen "when I'll around was
still" The door-bell rang; "visi-
tor with bundle" announced then
another, and another, and so on until
there didn't seem room for more. A
good time followed, of course; then
all left, very strangely it seemed, for
getting to take their mysterious par
cells away. In due time, however,
the contents were found to be intend
ed for DEPOSIT in the pantry, and
nov it is stocked to last away after
Christmas. All concerned are quite
happy over the pleasant affair.
This item should have had place
earlier, but nobody volunteered 10
give us any information concoring it
until this week. Quiet affairs among
quiet people are sometimes !ifioult
to hear Of; hence, all these incidents
in all societies should be brought to
us at once. Then, if we take no no.
tice of it, blame us.

A Serious Blunder.

The retired officers of the regular
army appear to live to green old
age, and they are becoming 40 nu-
nerous rs to constitute a serious
public burden. They have nothing
to do but draw their pay and amuse
themselves. The list consists of four
Major Generals, receiving 81, ,625 per
annum each; eighteen Brigadier-
Generals, receiving $4,125 per an
mum each; fifty-nins Colonels, re-

THE ENGAGED IN ITALY.-The be-
trothed in Italy are never left alone
for one moment. They may not
even sit side by side in company,
and q third person must always take
part in their conversation. When
out for walk they mus. not go arm
in arm. AS for a kiss, not even the
tips of the nails may be touched un-
til alter the Church and State have
firmly bound together the poor low
ers. The severity is no compliment
to Italy; on the contrary, it is mis-
try carried to excess, and the
young people rebel against it. Still,
when they become fathers and
mothers they perpetuate the custom.
1t may he that this extreme reserve
before marriage engenders that after
marriage liberty which in turn be-
comes u matter of wonder to more

SoRRowFUL EXPERIENCE OF COOP
OLE Man ON SLEEPING CAR.-It was
in Pullman "sleeper" between
Albany and Buffalo. Among the
passengers were middle-aged
couple, evidently on their first
journey, and a sour-faced old maid,
rather dessicated in her general ef-
feet, who was travelling alone. The
couple had an upper berth, and the
maiden we'll stricken in years" the
upper berth in the adjoining section.
In the same car were couple of
frolicsome youths, ready for any
sort of mischief. Bedtime came,
and all hands retired. But the hus-
band could not sleep. Whether it
was because of the motion OF the
cars, the noise, or the novelty of the
situation, he could not tell, but, try
as he would, he could not sleep. At
length it occurred to him that he
was thirsty. The more he thought
of it, the more thirsty he got. So
he called the porter, who brought
the ladder and helped him down.
Now, while he was gone ole OF the
boys" stepped out of bed and
shifted the ladder so that it rested
against the berth in which the an
cient maiden was sleeping, and then
returned to his bed to note the re-
suit. In moment or two the hus
band returned and crept quietly ur
| the steps, anxious to make as little
noise as possible SO as not TO awak-
en- his wife. The occupant OF the
bed thus rudely intruded upon awoke
with a start and screamed. The
husband, supposins 1t to be hi'
easily frightened wife, tried to re-
assure her, and said, "1t is only
me-" "Only you, you old soonnd,
rel. said the venerable maiden, II Il
/ teach YOU u lesson" and with that
she seized him by the hair of hi
head and screamed for help. TheI
he howled with pain. Then hf'

raised her voice in lamentation, heap
ing reproaches upon her faithless
spouse. The passengers all got up
and demanded al explanation of tho
commotion, and foremost among
them was the wretch who had caused
it all. Then the husband, covered
with confusion, and utterly unable to
account for what ne had done, came
down from his perch and skunk away
to bed, where he was soundly lectured
for his faithlessness. Altogether it
was most uncomfortable, though
ludicrous situation, and the glances
OF defiance that were exchanged be-
tween the wife and the old maid
all through the next day were q
study.

Agricultural Notes.

Coal ashes are always good, and
fowls seem to delight in scratching
and picking them over.
The guinea fowl is a native of
Africa. There are five species known
to naturalists, and only one is do
mesticated.
One drop of sulphuric acid in the
heart of plantain or other weeds will
destroy them completely. Care
must be exercised in its use.
The gladiolus originally came from
South Africa, but has been so high
ly and carefully cultivated as to be
thoroughly changed in its nature.
Many insects harbor beneath the
loose bark OF trees, and by scraping
this off and washing the trunk and
limbs with a solution of soft soap
much good may be done.
Always cut your flowers with a
sharp knife or scissors, in the morn
ing. Keep them will sprinkled; if
possible add fresh water, if in a vase
every day, better warm than cold,
and put in little salt. Set the
bouquet at night on the floor of q
cool room or cellar.
If the quarrelsome man wants his
dog and cat TO be the same he gives
them raw meat. The same holds
good with poultry. Raw meat is not
so easily digested, and is not as nu-
tricious as cooked. Don't feed too
much meat; but don't fail to give o
small quantity from time to time.
The man has not lived in vain who
plants a good tree in the right place;
and the sentiment which prompted
the tree planting organization at the
West, and caused day to be set
apart for for united voluntary pub
lie effort in this behalf, is akin to
that which set on foot our charita-
BILE and missionary societies.
1t is said that the best way to
manage sickly plants is to turn them
out of the pots, shake or wash off
the soil from the roots, and if any
are decayed cut them off; also prune
the stem and branches severely, and
pot again in fresh soil. Set them
away in shady place, after giving
water sufficient to settle the soil, add
ing little from time to time as re-
turning health and growth appear.
Several farmers near Seattle are
turning their attention to the culti-
vation of cranberries, than which no
crop has so far proved more profit
able. The climate and soil of many
portions of the Puget Sound basin
are peculiarly adapted to the culti-
vation of the cranberry, and there is
no reason why they should not be
cultivated on an extensive scale.
Mr.. Monohorn of Squak valley has

KEEP THE BODY EREcr.-An erect
bodily attitude is of vastly more impor.
lance to health than most people imagine
Crooked bodily positions if maintained any
length oftime are always injurious, wheth.
er in the sitting, standing or lying posture,
whether sleeping or walking. To si'
with the body leaning forward on the
stomach, or to one side, with the heels
elevated on level with the head, is not
only in bad taste, but very detrimental to
health. 1t cramps the stomach, presses
the vital organs, interrupts the free
motions of the chest. and enfeebles the
functions of the abdominal and thoraciC
organs, and, in fact, unbalances the whole
muscular system. Many children become
slightly humpbacked, or severely round
shouldered by sleeping with the head
raised on high pillow. When any per-
son finds it easier TO sit or stand or walk
or sleep in crooked position than a
straight one, such person may be sure
that his muscular system is badly de-
ranged, and the more careful he is to pre-
serve a straight or upright position again,
the better.
