The Bronze Monument.

Mr.. b. f. Adams, OF Lawton, has just erected
one OF these beautiful monuments In the GEM
etery in the Kinney neighborhood, some seven
or eight miles southeast from Lawton. For
beauty of design, the symmetry Of Its parts, the
grandeur OF its appearance and it's indestructi-
bility, renders it far superior to anything in
this region for cemetery purposes. Go and see
il. IL will amply reward you for the drive.
Rev. III. West is the only agent for these
beautiful monuments in this county. Call and
zee him and get some circulars, and give him
an order for one. 1881

A Fish Story.

A Boston correspondent of Forest and
Stream tells the following remarkable
story: The scene is laid in Long Island,
where, Oh the shore Of pond, the cor
respondent was watching the play OF
swallows as they kimmed just over the
surface Of the water shortly before sun
set. "About hundred yards out was
a bed of lily pads; and as the swallows
skipped it, occasionally good sized
ripple could be seen, and sometimes q
break from the edges indicating a fish
there. This fastened my attention to
the particular place. had often seen
cats play with swallows swooping at
them, but the idea of fish doing the
same was something new to me. Pres
emily saw a clean breach, and a fine
large pickerel showed his whole size
and got a swallow, too, as he disap-
peared beneath the water. This [ saw
repeated several times, and / called the
attention of my companion to this novel
sight. While we were watching we
saw two large fish break at the same
swallow, the fish coming from opposite
directions, and each head on to each.
Both missed the swallow, but, singular
to relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water, and neither was seen to
pass the other. My companion and my
self looked with wonder. There was a
great commotion in the water with a
continuous scattering, and a boat being
handy we jumped in and rowed to the
spot, and picked up the largest pond
pickerel [ ever saw. When we had him
in the boat the mystery was solved;
the smaller of the fish had, in his eager
ness Tor the swallow, jumped clear
down the larger ones throat, and only
the tail, to the extent of about an inch,
showed. The large fish was completely
rent asunder and killed by the catastro-
phe. Both together, weighed twenty
two mounds ,,

He Couldn't Miss the Chance.

The other night, when certain De-
troit club had gathered in its hall, a
member announced the serious illness of
one of the officials. A second member
at once moved to the platform and said ::
Gentlemen, no one can regret this
sad news more than l do. 1t seems to
me that the occasion calls for a few re-
marks expressive of sympathy and con-
dolence. | do not wish to occupy your
valuable time, but feel it duty to say

announced that the person was dead.

street.

Here another dilatory member put in

person referred to was not dead or even
i'll, but WAS in perfect health. Without
the least change of countenance the
speaker continued:
"That being the case, deem it my
duty to indulge in a few remarks on the
happiness we all must feel at knowing
that our dear brother still lives. Life
is but span, and man cometh up like
a flower and is cut down. The familiar
faces beside US to-day may rest in the
grave tomorrow. Death comes so ST

Here the person himself entered the
hall, having been detained beyond his
usual time by some occurrence on the
street. The speaker didn't seem in the
least put out, but waved his hand
around the hall aud said:

Miscellaneous.

Parsley eaten with vinegar will re-
move the unpleasant effects OF eating
onions.
Cold boiled potatoes used as soap
will clean the hands and keep the skin
soft and healthy. Those not over boiled
are the best.
Charcoal powder is good for polish
ing knives without destroying the blades.
It is also a good tooth powder when
finely pulverized.
Straw mating may be cleaned with
large coarse cloth, dipped in salt and
water, and than wiped dry. The salt
prevents the straw from turning yellow.
Potato water in which potatoes have
been scraped, the water being allowed
to settle, and afterwards strained, is
good for sponging dirt out of silk.
Tea leaves, used for keeping down
the dust when sweeping carpets, are apt
to stain light colors; salt is the best in
the winter and new mown hay in the
summer.
-Buttermilk is excellent for cleaning
sponges. Steep the sponge in the milk
for some hours, then squeeze it out, and
wash it in cold water. Lemon juice is
also good.
For soft corns dip piece of linen
cloth in turpentine and wrap it round
the toe on which the corn is situated,
night and morning. The relief will be
immediate, and, after few days, the
corn will disappear.
The white of an egg, into which a
piece of alum about the size of a walnut
has been stewed until it forms a jelly, is
capital remedy for sprains. 1t should
be laid over the sprain upon a piece Of
lint and be changed as often as it be-
comes dry.
"A lump of fresh quicklime the size
of a walnut dropped into a pint of water
and allowed to stand all night, the water
being then poured off from the sediment
and mixed with quarter OF pint of
the best vinegar, forms the best wash
for scurf in the head. 1t is to be applied
to the roots of the hair.

the weather be favorable. They should
be planted as early as the soil will do to

ground clean and free from weeds.

\ Goldfish vas one day sailing around
in search of some one who might be
inclined to a religious dispute, when he
came acrnss u Clam. That was in the
days ah.n Goldfish put on heap OF airs
over the Cam tribe, and this particular
fish stuck up his nose at that particular
Clam and began:
Here you are, grubbing away on
this same old sand. bank for living,
while have journeyed over thousand
t,i' in the last four weeks"
Il am quite content" replied the
Clam, II am rather near-sighted, slow
ON toot, and nature did not intend me
to travel far. Neither of us make more
than living, and am satisfied ii you
are."
"Yes, but you have such an outland-
ish shape" sneered the Cod. Why,
there's neither head. nor tail, nor legs,
nor arms to you. Your eyes are scarce
ly to be seen, and one little grin for a
cert would split your whole face
open"
My eyes are plenty large enough to
see that no two fish in tae ocean agree,
tartly replied the Clam, land, seeing
this. have no cause to smile. What
you say about my form is true, but l
make good chowler. for all that, and I
have no bones to trouble the Threats of
humanity"
"Well, I'm thankful that I wasn't
born to begin and end my days in a
sand. bank. l go everywhere. take
in all the free lunches. Small fish fear
me. and big ones can't catch me. See
how l glide around"
The Cod took circle around to show
of, stood on his head, fourished his
tail, and then asked:
"Can any of the clam family do hall
of that ?"
GAS I said BEFORE" quietly replied
the Clam, I" we were not cut out for eli
Their Orators or acrobats. What I can dc
l try to do we'll. What L can't do lei
alone and don't worry over"
At that moment tish-hook nicely
baited dropped down between them.
"Now. if you only had little more
mouth you could get enough at one
gulp to last you all day. remarked the
Cod as he eyed the pait. Gas it is
you may stand by and see me take il
that banquet. Just see what mouth
will do for one in this world"
He opened his mouth, made a dive
for the bait, and was about to wink al
the Clam with his left eye when he was
suddenly pulled out of the water and
landed in boat.
~ think" unused the Clam as he
closed his shell, THAT it is a great deal
nicer to be clam on a sand bank than
a cod in fish boat, but I'll be open
TO argument next food time"
