The seat behind them was occupied by
an old lady with al eye like a hawk and
a nose as sharp as pointed stick, and
che had her grandson in charge, q
boy about two years old. The boy had
fretted and worried for miles, and was
feeling sleepy when the politicians drop

cussing the situation. The old lady
kept an eye on them and patted the boy,
and his eyes had just closed in sletp
when they began TO warm.

you1lnever hear his name called again"
"Nonsensem retOrted the other,
"he'll not only be squarely elected, but
you can't lie him out of his off e as you
did Tilden."
At this moment the old lady gave
each a dig with her fist and hoarsely
whispered:
81 want you both 10 shut up"
"Heyp What's the matter7" they
queried in establishment.

Some one defines punctuality to be
Fifteen minutes before the time" Al
any rate, it is not one minute after the
time.
l must tell you an anecdote of the first
MARQUIS Of Abercorn. He invited 9
number of friends to dinner. The hour
for dinner was five, and all those invited
knew it, of course. Well, the our ar
rived and but n Of the guests had
come. Down sat the marquis and this
one guest to table. The marquis was
punctual, if only n Of the Others was.
By-and- bye another guest dropped in,
and was very much mortified to find
dinner being eaten. And one by one all
the rest came, and were likewise morti'
fed. But the marquis had taught them
all a good lesson, and / venture to say
that the next time they were invited
none of them got in to the coffee only,
but were on hand for soup.
General Washington was SO very
punctual that, on one occasion, some
friends who were expecting him at a
certain hour, on finding that he had not
arrived, all concluded that their watches
must have got wrong; and sure enough
they had. for Washington soon came,
and was not a minute late. No doubt
his habits of punctuslity helped to make
him the great man that he was.
knew a Clergyman m throw him
self into the Mississippi river and swim
eighteen miles down stream to keep an
appointment for afternoon service. l
Travelled through the Upper Mississippi
region shortly after, and for hundreds of
miles from the place where he lived, out
toward the border, l heard of his great
feat. The border men respected such a
man, and called him "the minister who
made the big swim"
Nor is any one too young to begin the
cultivation of habits of punctuality.
The boy who is on time at school,, on
time in class, on time when sent on an
errand, and so on, is apt to be the pune.

habit Of promptness is likely to cling all

heel way, and never prosper. They get
to a wedding as people are coming off.
They are late at church; don't meet
their notes, 60 to protest, and are in
trouble generally.
Washington's way was the best. The
Marquis Of Abercorn was in the right.
That Mississippi clergyman did nobly.
And these three are good examples for
our boys and girls to follow. Never be
behind time, and If you can be a little
ahead of it. and you will never repent
of the habit of punctuality.- Holden

The BELLS at Lowell.

OF the Lowell bells. the mill bells are
the most numerous and most prosaic,
yet not the least interesting. Most of the
corporations are provided with them,
and 1t Is their vigorous ringing at unseen
ly hours Of the morning that at racts the
attention OF the strang err. A majority
Of them seem to have been made with
direct attention to the quantity of tone
and n reckless disregard to the quality,
but when all r rung together the eff.
feet is not an unpleasant one. Summer
and winter, in storm and sunshine, the
unaccuStomed sleeper is aroused by the
general ringing of tho bells at LAS in
the morning. Thisi is for the especial BEN
eft of boarding house keepers, who are
expected to arise at this time to prepare
the morning meal. One hour later, at
5:45. the bells ring again, this time to
call the operatives to breakfast; and in
fifty minutes more the bell ringing is
repeated for the purpose of calling to
their work the thousands of laborers in
our many places Of industry. AT noon
the bells signal the hour for dinner and
at 10; 80 the operatives are recalled for
the afternoons work, which finally ends
by the ringing out at six O'Clock FIVE
days in the week and at 4 $50 Saturdays.

A Sure Mosquito Killer.

The Pyrethrum roseum, or Persian
chamopile," is the powdered leaf of a
harmless flower growing in Caucasian
Asia in great p~rofusion, where for cen.
turtles It has 'neen used to rid the natives
of unwelcome guests from the insect
world. 1t can be purchased at almost
any reliable druggist at about seventy
cents per pound, all ready prepared for
use.
With a finely powdered dust made
from these flowers, the mosquito, the
house fly, the wicked flea, and the dis
gushing cimex lectudarius may all be
put to fight or murdered. 1t is only
necessary to heap up into a little CONF
one teaspoonful ofthe drug pyrethrum,
touch it with a lighted match, and
watch the thin blue line Of smoke as it
rises to the ceiling and is waited through
the air, changing the busy drone of in
sect lifeinto a weak wall of insect woe.
Pretty soon down they come plump on
to the table and over your paper, pins
on their tiny backs, and -sren sheath
their l%ancets, curl up their hair-like
legs, and are no more.
Smoke from the Persian cbamomile
or its dusty powder, is most efi,aciou5,
but the purity of the drug must be as
sured. II must have a bright buff color,
be light, readily burned, and give n
pleasant tea-like fragrance; n pinch
should kill a dozen flies, confined in q
bottle, at once; where it fails of these
properties it has been adulterated.
In common use in large or breezy
rooms, where from great dilution it fails
to kill, it nevertheless produces on in
sect life, through its volatilized essential
oil or resin, undoubted nausea, vertigo,
respiratory spaSm, and paralysis. 1t
acts upon them through the minute
spiracles, the breathing tubes, that stud
the surfaces Of their little bodies, and
form the delicate network Of veins in
their tiny wings. To human beings it
is entirely innoxious and not disagree
able.-Hdrper'S Bazaar.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Clean Cereal Food.

While ingenuity seems almost to have
exhausted itself in devices to secure the
entire publication of the grain of wheat
before it is ground into fine flour, it is
strange that so little care is taken with
other grains in the preparation for bread
making. Even wheat designed for Ora
ham flour is rarely cleansed as it ought
to be, and it is notorious that for this
kind OF -four the lower grades of wheat
are commonly used. When it comes to
rye and buckwheat, and especially to
corn, we may say that they are, as a rule,
ground in their filth, original and &C
quired, and SO come to the table for hui
man food. Wheat must be cleansed to
make white -four. This whiteness is a
prime element in the price, and there
fore of main consequence to the miller.
The cleanliness or otherwise of other
f1ours and meals is not so manifest to
the eye of the purchaser, and the millers
handle them as though it made no diff
ference what is ground up with the
grain. This fact is known to many, and
prevents them from eating what they
would otherwise regard as wholesome
and agreeable food. The extent to which
this disregard of cleanliness concerning
an important class of our food materials
is carried, is so great that it is often de-
tected by the taste, and people who are
fond of bread made from the coarse
meals are given a disgust toward them
which endures through lie.
1T is difficult to designate a remedy for
IN evil like this, so far as the people Of
towns and cities are concerned; but
farmers carrying their own "grists"
to mil can inaugurate the reform by in
sisting upon the thorough cleansing Of
all grain before grinding. Ifthey will
do this they will es ablish a standard
and secure n general use Of the proper
apparatus in all custom mills, which
will extend in time to merchant mills,
and be a wonderful boon to all bread
eaters.-RUrdL NeW YO2i or.

A California Squirrel.

Five Italian woodchoppers who are
In the employ Of L. B. Rathbun, a farm
er of San Juan, California, recently set
their wits to work to protect a grain
field from the depredations of an army
Of ground squirrels. They found the
holes in which the squirrels burrowed
and drove a solid stake close to the
mouth of each hole. They then took a
piece OF small-sized wire and fastened
one securely to each stake and made a
sort Of slip moose at the other end, which
they placed in the mouth of each hole.
The result was that when a squirrel at
tempted to emerge from his hiding
place he would run his head directly
into the moose, and that was the last of
him. AS many rs eighteen of the vex-
a ious animals were caught in this
manner n day. The %trappers, how
ever, discovered n soggy old chap who
bafled their ingenuity, and for the pur-
pose of ~ensnaring him they rugged up
three Of their nooses and placed them at
the hole occupied by the wary animal,
thinking that if he passed through one
or two of them he would be caught by
the third one. Judge Of their astonish-
ment on finding securely fastened within
two of the moses, instead Of squirrel,
an immense r%attlesnake, wearing on his
neither end sixteen rattles. Tne snake
was fastened tightly by two of the
nooses, and was soon dispatched by the
TRAINERS.
