Why They Were "Docked."

At a certain manufactory in Fall River,
where there are a number of young ladies
employed, il was determined on their part to
present their employer with an album and n
large family Bible ms testimonial of their
regard for him. The money was collected
and the articles purchased. On the appointed
afternoon the girls collected at the office Of
their employer, and in speech presented
him with their Offering The recipient ac-
cepted the gifts and thanked the givers in n
few choice words. After conversing some
time the overseer glanced at the clock and
said Girls, | think you had better go hack
to your work now ; you have lost three quar-
ters of an hour already" The girls were
taken aback, and. feeling much Disconnected,
went back to their work, but great was their
surprise and chagrin when the next pay day
cnme rousd to find that the overseer had
''jocked" every one of them for the time lost
in making the presentation. Worcester Spy.

Horse Hints

Horses should be watered in the morn.
ING before they are fed. A full drink oi
water immediately after being fed is y
sure way at producing indigestion, ii nui
inflammation. When wafer is drunk bv
horses the bulk of it goes directly 10 the
large intestines. and a little of il is retain.
ed IN the stomach Some old and worth
less horses. by way OF experiment. We're
fed with split pease and then supplied with
water immediately before being killed. II
was found that the water had carried the
pease from 80 to 60 feet into the inteStiueS,
where no digestion took place at all.
For collie IN horses the following is one
nf the best remedies Give half Il iumhler
of spirits OF camphor. in a pint of warm
water (cold will do). If not relieved in
fifteen minutes. repeat the dose. A cor
respondent Of an agricultural paper said
he ''had never known it 10 fail in a prac-
tice of twenty years"
Many Il fine horse is ruined by driving
him too fast Immediately after hearty
meal. II the journey must be resumed
without delay, the horse should be driven
slowly for a half hour or more. when the
speed may be safely increased. A good
horse is too valuable an animal to ruin hv
njudicious haste.
Stables should always be kept tree
from strong ammoniacal smells. Gypsum
will absorb all offensive odors and add
immensely to the value of the manure
Dairy stables should, especially. be kept
unusually clean. A pail of milk, exposed
to a strong scent of ammonia for ten min
utes will imbibe so much as tO perma-
nently ,aint it.

The Care of Lamps.

If a list could be presented of the deaths
and frighttul burnings that have occurred
since the introduction of kerosene, it wodld
be appalling Good kerosene-that is, of
the legal standard of quality, and that sent
out bv the best makers is far in advance of
the legal uirements--properly used need
be no more dangerous than the old fashioned
sperm oil, or .alow dips. But it is vastly
more so. Why? IF we observe the accounts
Of those s0-called accidents" as they are
given in the daily papers. it will be found
that thev are due to one Of two principal
causes--I) using Kerosene to light q fire.
and u to filing "A lamp already lighted.
Only the most ignorant can be so stupid as TO
pour kerosend upon fire. and as such per
sons do not read it would be waste Of time
to caution them against it. Filling a lamp
while it is lighted is something that ought
never TO be done. II can be avoided by al
ways filing the lamps in the morning. This
task should belong to some one member of
the household, who should have fixed and
regular time for doing il; nothing ought or
dnarily to interfere with or cause its post
ponement. II should be made duty, TO be
discharged with all The regularity and pune

there is little danger OF accident. Glass
lamps ought never to he carried about, for
the very reason that they are glass. This
would hold, no matter what material they
contain; even if it be sperm or lard oil. the
breaking Of a lamp is a disaster to be avoid
ed There is a chance that the one carrying
it may slip or trip, or some other accident
cause it tn be dropped. With good kerosene,
even the breaking Of the lamp and spilling
its contents should cause no disaster in the
way Of burning; but all kerosene is not
good, and the risk should not be taken. In
trimming" the lamps only the small portion
that is charred need be removed from the
wick, and that Is easily done by scraping il
with knife kept for the purpose. If any

Recent crop reports from the great grain
growing States of the West represent the
prospects for bountiiul crops as very favor
able. with the exception of corn. which,
owing to the continued wet weather. has
not advanced in proportion to other grains
Iowa and Minnesota excepted. the acreage
OF wheat in all the western wheat growing
States has increased. in some from % to so
per cent. If the present prospects are a
criterion, the wheat crop of this year
will equal if not exceed the great crop OF
1880. and corn, the acreage of which has
generally increased, will produce heavy
crop if the weather but favors.

Leaden Collins.

Two or three years ago il was our fate to
inspect officially certain vaults in an ancient
church of much historical interest that was
undergoing repairs. The object was to
ascertain beyond doubt who had been
buried in three leaden coffins. They were
doubtless great personages. but there was
nothing to tell us who they were, and it was
expected that we might find inscriptions Of
son.e kind TO throw light on the subject. The
collins, though they had been originally ~
strong as lead could make them. had been
entombed from century to century and
half. Their condition was lamentable. The
lead was here and there broken into large
assures, through the forcible explosion Of
confined gases, and it was not difficult to
distinguish the contents. All had been en-
balmed according to the best rules of art
But the result showed how miserable had
been the effort to secure an imitation of
immortality. The appearance of the bodies
generally was that of ragged skeletons dipped
IN tar, black, horrible and repulsive; the
whole painful satire on the so.ca,led en-
balming system. One of the bodies was that
of a nobleman of high rank. To think of a
man in his social position, who had figured
in gorgeous pageants, being condemned after
death, by the overland solicitude of relatives,
to fate too revolving for description. Had
he been parish pauper he would have been
buried in the earth, and his body would long
since have moldered into dust, while the ex-
uberant gases would have been harmlessly
waited away in the gentle breezes that serve
- give lite to the vegetable world. Being
nobleman, he had been, by way of distinction,
laid in leaden coffin and placed in gloomy
vault, liable to become piteous spectacle to
future generations. One OF these leaden
cotiins more rent in pieces than the others,
contained a form which was recognized by a
medical gentleman present to be the remains
of young female, probably a young lady of
quality in her day, admired for her beauty
and the spendor of her long yellow tresses.
What fate had been hers On touching the
head, part of the scalp came of, along with
stream of hair that doubtless had at one
time been the pride of the wearer. Melan-
choly sight, And why had the body Of this
gentle creature with her flowing tresses been
consigned to a condition that brought il under
the gaze of a body of official investigators,
more than century after dissolution, instead
OF being decorously laid in the dust, there to
sink into the undisturbed rest that had been
benefcently destined by its Creator? Let
those who maintain the practice OF entombing
in leaden coffins and vaults answer the
question - Chamters's journal.
