MOLLIE,S RAM.

Mollie had a little ram, fleece as
black as a rubber shoe, and every
where that Mollle went he emigrated
too.
He went with her to church one
day-the folks hi.la .rious grew, to see
him walk demurely into Deacon Al.
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passion rise, and gave it an un.
christian kick between the sad brown
eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle the
deacon followed fast and raised his
foot again, alas that first kick was
the last.
For Mr.. Sheep, walked slowly back,
about a rod, 'tis said, and ere the dea.
con could retreat, it stood him on his
head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere sheep, but several
well directed butts just piled them on
a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for
the door, with curses long and loud,
while rammy struck the hindmost
man and sent him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the ficrccst
beast--"Aba," says he, an try that
game on you"
And so he kindly, gently called !:
"Como, rammy, rammy, ram to see
the folks abuse you So grieved and
sorry am"
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down, say.
ing, "rammy, rammy, rammy ram
best sleepy in the town."
Tho ram looked meek, and on he
came, with "rammy, rammy, ram ;
ram, rammy, rammy, ram; the nice
little ram"
The ram quite dropped Its humble
air, and rose from of his feet, and
when the parson lit he lay beneath
the hindmost seat.
As he shot out the open door, and
closed il with slam, he named a
California town, | think twas "Yuba
Dam"

HEALTH HINTS.

CRoUP.-A towel or fame! cloth
wrung out Of hot vinegar in which
little salt has been added, and placed
upon the chest and throat-changing
every ten minutes-with dry towel
thoroughly covering it, often materi-
ally assists in relieving an attack of
Group.
CURE FOR HoARsENEss. Take the
whites Of two eggs and beat them with
two teaspoonfuls of white sugar, crate
in little nutmeg, then add a pint of
lukewarm water; stir well, drink often
and it will cure the most obstinate
case OF hoarseness in short time.

teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one of
salt, one pint of water, and two tea
spoonfuls of vinegar sweeten to taste
with honey or loaf sugar; mix togeth-
or and bottle.
DTPHTHERIA.-Dissolve one table
spoonful of sulphur IN glass of cold
water gargle the throat six or eight
times day. Cook salt pork in vine
gar and bind on the throat; when the
paroxysms come on soak the hands
and feet in just as hot water as the
patient will bear, with tablespoonful Of
baking soda thrown in Rubbing the
limbs and body will assist greatly in
throwing off tho disease. The simple
sulphur remedy is very effectual IN
common sore throat.
RELIEF FOR BuRNs.-A quick cure
is to apply layer of common salt and
saturate II with laudanum. Hold 1t

GLuoosE.-Glucose is made from
corn. A bushel of corn, costing 25
cents to 30 cents, is, by the process of
manufacture, turned into a dollars
worth of glucose. The cost Of oonver.
sion is said to be about 20 cents, so
that il is not unreasonable TO estimate
the profit at nearly one hundred per
cent on cost. The growth of this in.

been something almost Incredible

year will probably be $4,000, 900 bush

less prices decline, will be $4,000, 900

product is in the manufacture of candy,

to adulterate sugars and syrups, is con.

sometimes found TO an injurious extent

SUMNER SALADS.


People who dine at hotels, and even
sometimes at gentlemen's tables, sci.
dom find a salad that is really excel.
lent. Generally speaking, it is black
green, bitter, and il il were not for the
liberal appliance of mustard, eggs, oil
and paper, it would be quite unfit for
any human stomach. How different
this is from what a cool, delicious salad
ought to be. 1t seems practically to
be forgotten by those who grow salad,
that lettuce was never intended TO be
eaten unless blanched. In Europe
they grow long, broad leaved kind
called the Roman or Cos lettuce, which,
after having retained considerable de-
velopment, has the leaves drawn up
and tied together at the top. The in
terror continuing grow, and of course
in the dark, by the tying up Of the
outer leaves, makes hard mass like an
elongated cabbage, which cuts up as
white and crisp and sweet as a stick Of
celery. This kind has never found n
place in American gardens, beauso our
climate induces it to run TO seed too
quickly. The various kinds of cabbage
lettuce are preferred, because they close
in their leaves naturally, and are sup.
posed TO blanch themselves But this
is, as we have shown, a pleasant fiction,
as there is very little Of the white
about any that we see, except where
there is great success in growing them
into heads OF cnnrse, onr country ia
not so well adapted TO the growth Of
good lettuce as England is. 1t will
not stand extreme cold, nor does IT
like warm days and hot suns. IL
wants to 60 TO seed as soon as the
temperature goes over 65 degrees
Bat we could have much better than
we do. In tho Spring a tolerablo arti.
Gle is generally obtained On our own
premises we never TAIL. Started by u
little protection from frames, it Is
brought to perfection before the warm
weather comes 10 have it good later
is not difficult, by employing very rich
land and as cool spot as can be Sc
cured. All vegetables that we value
for their succulenoe require rich soil
to their best development, but il is an
essential to good Summer lettuce. e.--Er.

the prime or life, about forty years ofage,
but has attained to a success in business
which few young men from Wisconsin or
elsewhere have done and all
the result of his strict integrity
uprightness and superior business
capacity and sagacity. He lived in
WATERFOWL for some years, though, and
as [ have said was in business in Milwau-

engaged in the great hardware house Of

taken into partnership and is now the
active manager of the immense business

Il Terrible Storm.

About II o'clock last Wednesday night
most terrific thunder storm accompan-
led by heavy rain, burst over this section
of country being particularly severe
in this city, involving destruction to both
property and life. The storm came from
the west and the electric currents were
the sharpest and most APPALLING ever seen
here. The entire atmosphere was fairly
FURNISHED with electricity, and the almost
incessant peals Of loud, rumbling thunder
made the scene one of grandeur and ter
tor When the storm was at the height
gifts awfulness and fury the fire bells rang
to add to the CONSERVATION and fear that
had already been aroused and Immediate
ly the heavens were found to be illumin-
ated with the brightness of MONDAY.
Lightning had struck the large elm tree
standing by the side CT S. B. Fuller's
large barn on 18th Street and the cleo
trio current ran down and set the building
on fire. The complete development of
the building in flames was but the work
of an instant giving but very little oppor-
tunity to save the contents. A few We
hicles were got out, but aside from these
the property in the barn was destroyed
including buggy, spring wagons, sleighs,
harnesses, hay, grain, some household fur
niture in store and one fine horse which
it is thought was struck dead by the
lightning. Mrs. Mary Tracey's residence
situated a few feet north of the barn
caught fire, but fortunately the house
was saved from destruction through the
the well directed efforts of those present
in applying water, the heavy rain falling
at the time also helping very much to
subdue the flames. The damage to the
| building will not exceed fifty dollars.
The house of Mrs. Caroline Krause in
! the Seventh ward was shattered by light
ming, the electric shaft coming down
the chimney and striking her son Charles,
aged 1872 years. who was standing in the
room, and almost instantly killing him.
This terrible infiction calls for the deep
est sympathy forthis woman who was sud
| denly bereft Of her husband last summer
by sun-strolle and now has had her only
son and main support taken from her
| in this awful manner. Her son was
employed at Sprague's brick yard and is
well spoken of those who knew him.
The barn of T. Flatb, south Of the city
limits in the Gown of Watertown, was
struck by lightning and burned along
with the entire contents. A stroke Of light
ming also shattered the house Of Herman
OFT, north of the city limits in the town
of Emmett, doing considerable damage to
the building but fortunately none of the
inmates were injured, The loss to Mr..
Fuller was partially covered by insurance
in the Continental, of New ork, for $1,000.
The damage to the residence Of Mrs.
Krause and Mr.. OFT was covered by in
| surance. We understand Mr. Flath was
| insured in the town Insurance Company.
Mrs. Tracey had no insurance.
