The Quincy Wing says: A joke was
played on Conductor Belknap at Hanni-
bal few days ago. Among the rail-
road checks was discovered physi-
clans certificate for child that died of
pneumonia at Sherman, Texas. The
only thing that looked like a coffin was
box about four feet long and some
fifteen inches wide which was supposed
to contain the body of the child. Upon
examination it was found that it weigh
ed about two hundred and fifty pounds,
too heavy for child two years old.
Somebody suggested that there was q
strong smell coming from the box, and
that they could not take it on the train.
Belknap, in the meantime, telegraphed
to Galesburg and received orders to
put the corpse on the train, which he
did. There was an old gentleman on
the train and Belknap asked him if he
had any baggage with him. He said
he had, and showed up his check, which
being compared with the one on the
curious-looking box, brought out the
fact that the box contained carpenters
tools, The certificate had been written
up by some of the railroad boys at Sc
dalia, OF near that point.

Antiquities Of Language.

We may excuse the foreigner if, in
speaking our language, he occasionally
misapples an ambiguous word, however
odd it may sound. DR.. Chalmers once
entertained distinguished guest from
Switzerland, whom he asked if he would
be helped to '.kippered salmon" The
foreign divine asked the meaning of the
uncouth word .'kippered," and was told
it meant preserved" Soon after the
Switzer made use of this newly-acquired
expression in public prayer, when he
offered petition that q certain divine
might long be "kippered to the Free
Church of Scotland" Here is another
example of a possible misconstruction
of language. 81 fear" said country
curate to his flock, sswhen explained to
you in my last charity sermon that phi
lanthropy was the love of our species,
you must have understood me to say
specie from the smallness of the collec-
ton. You will prove, / hope, by your
present contribution that you are no
longer laboring under the same mis-
take"

The Modern Farmer.

The pipe of the quail In the stubDle feloi
The scent Of the new-nown hay;
And all day long the shout and the song
or the reapers SO far away.
The restless racket amid the grain,
The noise of the reaping machine;
And ever again the howl OF pain
Comes over the meadow green.
Oh, sweet is the field where the meadow lark hits
And sings as it scars and dives
where the granger sits. and yells as he gets,
His fingers among the knives.
No longer we hear on the hillside sere
The scythe-stone's clinkety- clink;
But the reaping machine cuts his leg on, ween,
Before ever the man can think.
with forebodings and tears his good wife heare
The man of the house say Goodbye;
To return, in sooth, with horse-rake tooth
Sticking four inches out of his eye.
when the thrashers come in with halloo and din
How burdened with sorrow the hour,
when they pause to scan what is left of the man
Chawed up by an eight-horse power.
Oh, 1.-the and listen! From over the hills,
What voice for the doctor begs?
It's the stoker who fell, and, awful to tell,
The steam harrow ran over his legs.
thus all day long, with mirth and song,
They laugh at the dread alarms;
Though the waving field shall its harvest yield
OF fingers and legs and arms
Then pity the sorrows of poor old granger,
whose mangled limbs have borne him TO fence;
Who braved, with reckless courage, untold danger
And run his farm with modern implements.

The Worlds Cattle Supply.

An English paper says: II meat is
scarce and dear in Western Europe,
such is not the case in other parts of
the world, as the following statistics rel
alive to America, Australia and Africa
will show: Uruguay, the population of
which by the last census of 1876 was
4O0,O souls, possessed at the same
time 1878, 924 head of horned cattle
and 9, 142. 1855 sheep, but as those figures
are taken from the returns made by the
farmers themselves for the purpose of
taxation. M. Vatalba, Comptroller of
The State, considers the more accurate
numbers would be 100000 and 49,
00O,0 The Argentine Confederation,
far larger in extent, with barely 2,0OO,-
900 of Inhabitants, had, according to o
calculation published at Beunos Ayres
in 1875, 10, 493, O9O ahimals of the bovine
species, of which SIG, 020 were in the
province of Buenos Ayres, and $685.
Alb sheep. But, according to the Off
cial announcement in the Argentine sec
ton of the exhibition of 1878, the real
quantities were 100000 of sheep and
Is, OOO. 900 of horned cattle, A vast ex-
tent of the southern portion of Brazil,
particularly in the province of Rio
Grande, Bolivia, and portions of Peru
on the eastern slopes of the Andes, are
also occupied in raising cattle, but the
difficulties of procuring definite returns
are so great that any estimate made
could only be mere guess work. Turn
ing now to North America, where i'm
mense districts are almost wholly pas
toral, the figures published in 1872 by
Mr.. Block showed the existence of &c.
693, 3O5 head of cattle, 81, 679, 300 sheep,
and 80, 900, 900 of pigs. But the num-
bers have vastly increased since, owing
to the extensive trade which has sprung
up between England and the United
States in meat, both salt and fresh. Ac-
cording to some statistics published by
the French Minister of Commerce, Can
ada possessed in 1876 1924, 299 animals
of the bovine race, and 3,155, 500 OF the
ovine, The numbers supposed to exist
in Australia and New Zealand are $780,
872 of the former and 81, 649, 967 of the
latter, of which the share OF New South
Wales is 3,131,O1 cattle, 25,629, 755
sheep, as well as 1850 pigs. Finally
England's enormous colony in the South
of Africa is, speaking generally, devoted
to raising cattle, and, although no &C
curate returns are forthcoming, the fact
is known that this industry is extending
there daily.

Giving a. Flavor to Meat,

From Land and Water. aet
The following amusing story, told me
by the late Bransley Cooper, was after
ward published in the life of his dis
tinguished uncle, Sir Ashley Cooper
It is stated that upon one occasion of the
Athlete Club meeting at Mr.. Coleman g,
at the Veterinary College, he promised
Mr.. Norris, President of the Royal
College of Surgeons, who was great
gourmand, that he would give him a
Joint of beef from Markham's and
ordered fine sirloin to be sent on the
appointed day. The party met, the
promised beef soon made its appearance.
The host cut for his friend Norris one
of the primest slices, and soon, in ex-
ultation, inquired if it were not to his
hearts content. To this Mr. Norris
replied, ''The beef is good beef, but it
is not my friend Markham's." ''Pooh!
Poohr' said Mr.. Coleman: "rll swear
it is, Norris, for 1 called myself at his
shop and ordered it, and this morning
had it delivered at my house by his own
man; but may be wrong, Norris; how
ever, to decide the matter, if you please,
I'll lay you bet of dinner for the
party that it is Markham's beef
The butcher was sent for. Coleman
put the question: ''Mr. Markham, all
1 have to ask of you is, was the beef
your man left here this morning your
own meat?'' sNo sir,' said he cit was
not. have to make thousand
apologies; for although you yourself
gave me the order ten days ago, Inever
thought of it till I looked in my book
this morning, when I knew / had moth
ing in my shop that would answer the
purpose. I therefore myself went to
every butcher in the market and picked
out the finest piece / could find, and l
hoped it would prove satisfactory; but
the beef is not mine.'' Norris laughed
heartily at the successful display Of his
gastronomic faculties, and the whole
party joined in the fun against Coleman,
who was generally so sagacious in his
bets as to make it quite novelty when
he lost. The secret is this: Markham
was in the habit of buying stock much
older then butchers usually buy for GER
tain of his most peculiar customers, and
afterwards feeding it himself in some
peculiar manner before bringing it to
the slaughter-house. So superior to
that of any man of his day was his beef
considered, that many persons, of whom
Mr.. Norris was one, would pay the
most exorbitant prices for meat to be
supplied by him. Mr.. Norris was the
grandfather of Lord Penzance and
several of the Wilde family.

How to Treat q Frightened Horse.

A man who has had much experience
in managing horses, says: "Whenev-
er nervous horsemen notice their horse
directing his ear to any point what
ever, or indicating the slightest dispo-
sition to become afraid, let them, in
stead of pulling the rein to bring the
horse toward the object causing its ner-
vousness, pull it on the other side. This
will instantly divert the attention of the
horse from the object which is exciting
his suspicion, and in ninety-nine cases
out of q hundred the horse will pay no
more attention to the object, from which
he will fly away if forcibly driven to it
by pulling on the wrong rein. The prac-
tice most persons have of forcing a
horseiup to the object, frightening, is dan
gerous and useless"

A Dentists Broken Promise.
London Telegraph.


A well-known Vienna dentist has
got into sad trouble through his ungov-
ernable passion for experiment. Some
time ago he made the acquaintance of
young lady, the aspect of whose teeth
inspired him with a vehement desire to
improve his assistants acquaintance
with practical dental surgery by giving
the latter an opportunity to extract
few of them. He therefore persuaded
the young lady in question to undergo
'brief and painless operation, on
the ground that her otherwise ire
proachable beauty was marred by GER
tain defective teeth, which he proposed
not only to remove, but to replace graf
uitously by artificial ones of conspic-
uous whiteness and brilliancy. Having
obtained her consent to this arrange
ment, he administered laughing-gas to
her, and, while she was under the in
fuence of that anesthetic, his assistant
with admirable skill and promptitude,
drew sixteen of her teeth. When she
recovered her senses she was somewhat
startled by the unexpected extent of
her losses, but, being a sensible girl,
forebore wasting regrets upon the ire
parable, limited the expression of her
feelings to civil demand for the prom
ised new teeth. These, however, upon
reflection, the dentist declined to sup
ply, observing that ''she might be very
well satisfied with having had so many
teeth extracted for nothing" The
patient, failing to apprehend the JUS
tice of this. rejoinder, has brought her
plant before the competent authorities,
and an Austrian tribunal will ere long
be called upon to decide whether or not
