A Funny Mistake.

The other day an old country woman drove
up in her wagon to well known shoe store,
and entering the same, thus accosted the ur-
bane proprietor: II want to see them ERE
Ninety five Rubber Boots advertised in all the
papers. I'm thinking they must be cheap at

It was difficult at first to convince the old
lady that the figures "95" referred to quality,
not price, and that the boots were 95 per cent.
sterling pure; but when she was shown a sam
pie cut open to display the interior, and saw
that the soles were half an inch thick OF solid
rubber, and the upper and legs were double
thick, she was contented to pay, not IS cents,
but several dollars, for single pair of the
"Candee 95 Per Cent. Boots" believing they
would be the cheapest in the end for the cold
man." The storekeeper punched the date of
sale in the legs so as to fix the expiration of the
three months warrant, and assured her in
case they did not stand the warrant, he would
give new pair free of charge.

see what was the matter. with it.
The jeweler took it, put mag
nifying glass before his eye,
opened the case, touched the
wheels with a pick, and remarked that
it needed cleaning, as it was very dirty.
On inquiring the cost of such an oper-
alton, she was told that it would be
$3.50. The young lady was amazed, for
she had had the watch only three days
and was reluctant to believe that it re-

watch to the man at the counter, pre-
ferred the same request as before. He
went throughthe same process of inspec-
ton, and said the hair spring was broken,
and the watch needed cleaning. In
curing the cost again she was told it
would be 81. She said she would see
her father about it, and at night when
he came home she told him of her days
doing, and said his friend must have
cheated him. Her father took the
watch to New York in the morning, and
in the course of the day stepped into
his friends store, where he bought it,
and asked him to look at the watch and
see why it had stopped. His friend,

The Matter with the Watch.

A Brooklyn parent gave his daughter
handsome watch on her 18th

wind it, and in the morning the hands

it for granted that she had used the
watch carelessly, and that something
was broken inside. She did not like tc

An Eagle Attacks Two Little Children.
In Lake county, Mimi, while little
Augustus Burr, aged Z years, was play
ing with his equally little sister, near
his home, down upon the juvenile party
came an enormous eagle, throwing the
two children to the ground and attempt
ing to carry off the smaller one. Then
was exhibited the proves of the small
Augustus. Into the house he went and
out he came again with butcher knife,
and that savage birds legs he proceeded
to cut and whack and slash. Naturally,
the indignant eagle left the girl, and
engaged with the boy, knocking him
over, tearing his little pantaloons, and
scratching him severely. The childish
screams soon brought the mother to the
scene, and the impudent eagle flew to
the top Of the barn, and sat there, still
hungry for the little girl. But neigh
Dor Joe Betzler came, and with his gun
shot that eagle, and when they meas
ured him they found that it was seven
feet from one of his wing-tips to the
other. The little Augustus should
hereafter be called Augustus Caesar.

House Cleaning.
New York Weekly Tribune.

In ordinary seasons it is possible to disturb
only one or two rooms at a time, but these
are times when it is economy to give painters
and kalsominers full swing and rush the pro.
cess of renovation through without delay,
possessing ones soul in sweet patience
meantime and rejoicing in the joys to come.
Diminishing all philosophy but the purely
Baconian, let us discuss the subject in its most
practical form. Where hard-hnished walls
have already been kalsomined, the soiled
coats should be washed or scraped off before
a new one is put on. This is the most disa-
greeable pratt of the process. The furniture
should be covered, as lime makes spots that
are removed with difficulty, especially upon
black walnut. Those who have tried paint
on the walls of rooms speak very stron-
" in its favor. 1t closes up the pores
of the plaster so that it can not
absorb iii odors, it can be easily cleaned with
soda and water, (soap and water make it
spotty) and it can be made of any desired
tint. Perhaps some of our readers do not
know what active absorbanGs paper and plas-
ter are and, how, when they become
| thoroughly saturated with various effluvia
nothing but entire renewal will cleanse them.
| The Chinese understand this so well that
they will replaster room, furnishing labor
and material for the old plaster which is re-
moved and used for fertilizing purposes. In
sects find no harbor in painted walls, as they
do in papered walls, and when once the
paint is dry there is no question about the
poisons used in producing desirable tints
Before paint or kalsomine is applied to walls
every crack and crevice should be filled with
plaster or a cement made Of one part water
to one part of silicate of potash mixed with
common whiting. For the kalsomine put,
quarter of pound of white glue in colo
water over night and heat gradually in tn
morning until dissolved. Mix eight pound
of whiting with hot water. add the dissolved
glue and stir together, adding warm waite
until about the consistency of thick cream
} Use a kalsomine brush and finish as you g
I along If skim milk is used instead of water
the glue may be omitted. In washing paint
ed walls it Is a good plan to remove from tn
t room everything that can be injured b
