post, TO watch for tho White Wave.
After watching for some hours the
hungry fellow fell into a deep sleep,
from which he was awakened by n sen
sation similar TO that he had experienced
years before when pulled, half-drowned,
out OF one Of his native fjords; but his
hunger had gone, he felt refreshed, and
found he could walk without fatigue.
and naturally gave the nanseous Jelly
the credit OF IT,
Next day he visited nc gulch again,
and took another fR OF the Jelly;
again came deep sleA from which he
awoke, rs before, free tpm hunger or
woariness; but to his alonishment his
clothes had become tight that he

boots seemed few sizes too small, aud
the sleeves OF his knitted jacket were
almost up to his elbows STOPPING 10
pick up his rifle, he found that too had
shrunk. or rather that he himself had
stretched aud grown under the intlu-
cnce OF the wonderful food and that
his physical powers had increased with
his bulk. While testing the latter by
ilinging the pieces OF rock into the sea,
Jorgenson beheld the White Wave bear
ing down the coast, signaling with the
small brass piece She carried. He re-
piled with his rifle. and after filling his
pockets with the mysterious pebbles,
made for the beach, and soon was well
coined by his puzzled moss mates.

A Sad Disappointment.

The hero of the story is gallant
Captain who rules the water He and
several companions were standing on
the pavement conyersing about futures,
freight, etc, when his nautical eye was
riviied on shining object on the side
walk near his foot. II was, indeed, a
quarter. The Captain did not call out;
Hello, shipma,es, | have found a
quarter; have any of you boys dropped
itPn Not much; but he quietly put his
foot on the coin. Then he called the
attention of the crowd to a distant
flight OF pelicans. and while they were
looking away he stopped down quietly
and, without hoing observed by any
body, .he gathered in that quarter
Then he whispered in joyous whisper
to a confidential friend: " Don't say
anything to the rest of the boys, I've
found quarter Let's take stroll
into saloon.n And they slid off side
ways, unobserved, into banquet hall.
They wiped their mouths, and the
hardy mariner went into his clothes for
his quarter aud il was gone, but on the
floor glittered another quarter. Then
change came DER the table of his
Thoughts. It flashed over him in a
second that there was hole in his
pocket; that the quarter on which he
had "set 'em up was really his own,
and that besides that quarter about
three dollars in change was missing.
Then he perceived how premature was
his Joy over the windfall There are
some griefs too sacred 10 be tampered
with, and this is one of them. The oc-
currence was intended TO be kept a
profound secret, but, like the three
dollars, it leaked out, and you hear it
on the street, but no don't hear any
tidings Of the rest OF the wealth, and
there was no insurance on it, GaIves-
ton Net0s.

half a cupful OF buttermilk. one tea
spoonful OF saleratus. little salt, and
flour to make quite stiff--a little sitter

bake forty minutes, and serve with

MINcE MEAT. Two pounds currants,
five pounds peeled and cored apples,

FLOORS For PouLTRY HOUSES. -
| Various materials have been employed
for constructing floors for poultry
houses, as boards or planks, concrete,
asphaltum, brick and stone. The first
named are Objectionable, as they alb
sorb portions OF the manure dropped
| by fowls, and, in consequence, give of
vile and unhealthy odors when the
temperature becomes warm. Floors
made in part of asphaltum are liable TO
become sticky during the hot weather Of
summer. Floors made of concrete,
brick, or stone, are very cold during
the winter, and are liable TO the fur
ther objection of becoming damp,
AT present most poultry-keepers give
their preference to earth floors They
prefer clay, but are well satisfied with
any kind Of earth so that 1t Is elevated
sufficiently to be out Of the way of
surface water. Whatever kind OF
earth is employed should be hacked
close, so that it may be swept with a
stiff broom as occasion requires 1t Is
best to have the floor covered with pull
verized peat, ashes. or road scrapings,
with which the droppings of the fowls
may be mixed. AS often as once a
week all this loose material should be
swept up and put in barrels for use as
manure.

Feeding Horses.

MORE horses are annually killed or In
jured by over-feeding and by injudi-
cious feeding than by starving or most
other causes. In horses we can detect
as many different temperaments and
dispositions as in man, though but few
horse-owners take this fact into con-
sideratlon in tho management of their
horses, particularly in that part of II
relating to food and feeding. Some
horses are natural gluttons, and they
must be seen to carefully or they will,
at times, be apt TO seriously injure
themselves by feeding too fast, while
much of the food they consume will
pass through them undigested, Tor
the simple reason that it Is swallowed
before II has been properly masticited.
We like to see what is termed ''gl od
FEEDER Zone who does not minco or
pick over his food) but then we are not
at at all partial to the raveuous one.
Such a horse rs the latter named will
dive into his feed with mouth wido open.
and invariably take more at q mouthful
than he can either hold in his mouth or
properly masticate, There are several
ways TO fix such follows, one way be-
ing to mix some little fine hay with his
oats, while moistening the oats or feed
ing cut food prevents him from pam
dering TO his greedy propensity. A
horse with a delicate appetite Is usually
tender, delicate animal, and not at all
desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses. no matter whether on farm
for farm work, or for driving purposes,
is they feed too much hay; and to this
cause can be attributed the general
sluggishness often manifested by the
horses until they have been working a
couple OF hours, while the wind is also
much impaired. Night is the only TIM.
when hay should be fed, especje,y ~

We hope the good people of Bellefonte
and vicinity will not forget the lecture TO
be delivered by Col. Bachelor, under the
auspices of the q. A. r., on the evening
of the 18th instant. Col. Bachelor will
tell the story of the great battle fought on
Pennsylvania soil, on the lst, End and Ord
days of July, 1868. He has made Gettys-
burg study ever since it became historical
ground, is thoroughly familiar with every
point of interest in the great struggle, and,
with the aid of large maps and charts,
will make all clear to the understanding of
the audience. Every one who desires to
know all about Gettysburg should hear
this lecture, and We therefore trust the
court house will be crowded on the occa-
sion of its delivery.

ENTERTAINMENT ON CHRISTMAS NroHr

ENTERTAINMENT ON CHRISTMAS MONT
The night Of Christmas, when everybody
is supposed to feel gay, Is good night for
an entertainment. The one given under
the supervision of Mrs. Love for the bene-
fit of the Baptist church was, 1t Is unnec-
essary TO say, very successful in every re-
spect The only difficulty in reporting IL
Is that there was too much 10 speak OF
each one separately. The eight orchestral
manner and Of themselves would have
made fine musical entertainment without
the addition of several quartettes. The
urchins who acted 1.-THE Ragamuffin Brig
ade" we're capital. Mr. Hal orbison took
the place OF DIR. George Harris in the colo
and chorus "We've drank from the same
cAnteen" with credit to himself One of
the prettiest tableaux OF the evening was
"Mary Queen of Scots frat view OF Rizzio. {"
Both the tsblcsu and chorus Of Give
O'Clock in the Morning" were fine, and
those who participated in the former look
ed exactly like jolly, sparkling country
lads and lasses. "Red Ridinghood" was
splendid, from the lovely fairies and the
innocent little "Red Ridinghood" up to
the ravenous wolf, whose voice much re-
sembled that of Spencer c. Ogden. We
think that cred Ridinghoo1's" mother
did the most appropriate thing under the
circumstances 10 run out the door after her
child when the obstinate curtain refused
to fall. The only tableau that fell at all
fiat on the audience was "Rebecca and
Rowena," which is only because many
persons have not read Sir Walter Scots
"Ivanhoe." The scene which perhaps has
received more compliments than any other
was "The Bridal Wine Cup" in which
Miss Maud Walters, Of Lock Haven, re-
peated thrilling, dramatic temperance
speech with much affect. 1t was called
forth by the persuasions from her friends
TO drink wine at the conclusion of the
bridal ceremony, In which she acted rs
bride with j. L. sPanglcr, Esq, as BRIDE
groom. Miss Walters Is a tall, handsome
girl with considerable fire and energy I'm
her nature. The entertainment was so
successful that Il was repeated the follow.
ing night TO good audience. Over one
hundred dollars were realized from both
entertainments.

ceived from Mr.. Il. P. Green:
MEssRs. EpIToRs,-Allow me through
