A New Dodge.

The memorial dodge is something new in the way of swindling and comes from Cincinnati. One of our Connecti- cut friends received parcel by mail :; upon opening, it was found to contain 8 cheerful picture of graveyard, with places for locks of hair and photographs. The circular sta tes "We have poetry already in type adapted to different ages and characters. The one receiving this memorial is requested to return it or send one dollar on it's reception" This is very cool proceeding. Here is a quiet person who finds his house in- vaded by stranger in the form of a parcel. He is put to the trouble oi opening the package, and then learns that he can have the so-called "Me. morial" by paying for it, or if he does not want it he can get rid of it by pay ing it's postage back to Cincinnati. The amount of postage required to return the thing is small, but, nevertheless, swindle-as is everything that require' one to pay out money without an equiv alent. Our correspondent says that h. would not accept the picture as 8 gift but fears if he does not return it an' pay postage the Cincinnati chaps cal come upon him for the value of tn picture. We should let them try it, Agricultawist.

A Dandy.

Thackeray's idea of dandy is sup posed to be given in the following note lately printed in & newspaper of Hull, England: "My dear Edward-A dandy, is an individual who would be lady If he could, but as he can't does all that he can to show the world he's not o man. That is my idea at any rate. To cuIminate in dandy is to my mind almost as absurd as leading life ln which the word fast comes in. No Endeavor to prove respectable mem- Der of society not an eyesore to those who lead modest, manly life. Many affairs-good, sound and secure are open to you; power of them, indeed. When I have more time to spare and when my own health is bet ter I will write at length and state my views. Ever yours sincerely, w. M' Thackeray."

Fish in Fresh or Salt Water.

Mir. Mather read paper before the American Fishcultural Association on fish that can live in salt or fresh water. He divided the inny tribe into three classes for the purpose of his paper to wit, fish that can only live in fresh water, fish that can only live Tn salt water, and fish that can live in either fresh or salt water. He named several kinds of fish, whose habits and migre- tions he has lately noticed, and added them to the already long list of those that can live in either fresh or salt water. Some fish that in high attitudes only inhabit the salt water he found in fresh water farther south. Important among these was the menhaden or moss- bunker. The shad, he said, could not live in salt water if matched there it required fresh water during it's devel- opment, but thereafter was quite versa tile in the matter of water. The con- clusion which Mir. Mather drew from all the facts he had gathered was that a number of fish now in salt water could be transplanted to fresh water advan- tageously. He said he had no doubt that the brook-trout of Long Island could live in salt water.

The Custom. .

An English lady, accustomed to tray cling abroad, and able to converse flu ently in the languages of the countries she visited, recently found herself alone in railway carriage in Germany, when two foreigners entered with pipes in their mouths, smoking strong tobacco furiously. She quietly told them in their own language that it was not 8 smoking carriage, but they persisted in continuing to smoke, remarking "that it was the custom of the country, "upon which the lady took from her pocket a pair of gloves and commenced cleaning them with benzoline. Her fellow pas sengers expressed their disgust at the nauseous effluvium, when she remarked that cit was the custom of her coun- try" She was soon left alone in the carriage,

An Experience in a Sleeping Car.

A lawyer, who travelled by rail says I never did, never could and never will sleep second in sleeping-car berth. But all of the party said it was because I thought I couldn't, and quoted many texts of Scripture and old saws to prove that man could do any thing he re- solved upon. As usual, female perti- nacity prevailed, and we tried it. I re- solved would omit no means of allur- ing sleep, that I would array myself as fol my bed at home, take my usual night-cap of cold water, clay me down to sleep," and "pray the Lord my soul to keep" put my boots outside the curtain, crawled up to the top berth, and after many contortions of the body, bumps on the top of my head and lacerations of my limbs, contrived to fall in in due and regular order. Ihad been told to lie flat on my back and obediently did so. The cars rattled and jolted over the rough road, stopped every few miles with a jerk and started with greater one, until it seemed to me that my soul and all that was within me were being agglomerated into one consistent and uniform jelly. I tried my right side awhile, and became satis- fled that was the wrong side. Then tried the left, and was sorry had left the right. I then thought it was too light, and got up and shivered around ten minutes trying to fix my overcoat as shade to the lamps. A man who slept opposite my section alternated be- tween fearful snoring, strangulations and wild and copious approximations. I felt I had nearly composed myself to sleep, when it occurred to me that sound and direction indicated that my boots were being utilized by my catarrh- al neighbor. hustled down again and drew them in from the storm. Then l became certain that my money was in peril, that my pants and vest which con- tained my treasures must be taken from the pegs and stored away behind me in the berth. I tried for two or three hours to fix things right so that I could go to sleep and enjoy that peace and rest that are the possessions of the in, nocent and good, but things went or from bad to worse, and under renewed tortures to head and limbs, I dressed me, took cigar, went to the smoking room, threw myself into corner ant smoked sullenly and silently through the dismal night.

A Death Scene.

Step lightly, for just in the chamber there life is fast ebbing away. The pale, worn form, lying so calmly on the bed, has seen the ups and downs of nearly a century. Children, grand children, and even their descendants, have been rocked to sleep in those arms and now they stand about in solemn expectancy of the end, for life's three score years and ten have been far overreached, and the parting must come. Scarcely a whisper passed from one to the other, for each is intently watching the beloved breathing, about the only sign that the spirit has not yet fled. Some eyes are moist, but the faces of all bear that expression of awaiting the inevitable with the full conviction that the judgment will be, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant"
 Soon evening changes into night and the hours move slowly on. Of sudden the face of the dying woman assumes a supremely happy look, the eyes that had been sightless for many years seem again lit up, and @ murmured welcome at the glad summons passes her lips. And then in turn she calls on those about her, and with some gentle word bids each good-by. The exertion proves too trying, and her breathing grows fainter and fainter. A feeble hand is thrown over the side of the bed. the long, thin fingers move nervously, anc in failing voice the aged woman calls for her daughter-in-law, who, with the love of Ruth of old, had always clune to her. She commends her to knee beside the couch, and after having botl hands placed upon the bowed head pours out blessing, her last and mos precious gift.
 What thrill passes through every heart as the words fall slowly from thos lips so soon to be hushed forever. Tn hands drop to the bed again, and arr once more folded over her breast. Tn breathing becomes more labored, an'
 the intervals finger. Finally it is hushet entirely the watchers look ominousl,
 at each other, but deep sigh from tn wasted figure proves that life is stil there. But the. end approaches fast and without warning the spirit leave its earthly home. What is life? Wha : is death? One moment here, the ne3 in the great hereafter.

Recent Progress in Domestic Science,

The Chicago Tribune facetiously dis courses as follows It is unhealthy to wear your boots in the house after one o'clock a. m. The common plan is to remove them in the hallway, but many of our most experienced husbands pre- fer the front steps. Always take boot in each hand when going up stairs. This plan gives you two shots at the cat after stepping on her. Never say anything to your wife on these occa- sions except ''yes" and ''no." Eating cloves impedes the speech.
 Never compel your wife to get up first and build the fire. If she doesn't do it of her own accold, go to sleep again.
 When your daughter gets big enough to have gentlemen visitors, give up the parlor to them cheerfully. It is much cheaper to let the dog bite them as they start for home than to scold the girl until she cries, and then have to buy her Q sealsk1n sacque as a souvenir o your idiocy.
 Always remember your wedding day and try to mark the occasion with some life act showing that you remember it Coming home half full will often signal ize the anniversary in 8 marked man ner, but is not to be recommitted.

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines, as a rule are not amenable to the chemical tests and analyses used in testing drugs gen orally. Their reliability therefore de- pends solely on the character and repu- tation as to probity of those preparing and putting them up.
