Too Much for Him.

A wen-known druggist who is located
near the corner of Woodward avenue
and Montcalm street was called to the
telephone the other day and requested
to send barber to the house of a sick
friend, who desired to be shaved. Turn
ing back to the counter the druggist
told his clerk to step out and send q
tonsorial artist to the number in ques-
ton. As the druggist is q man of few
words, and his clerks are trained to
obey, this one asked no questions, but
started out, went into Davey,s picture
store next door and said:
g They want an artist At Edmund
street, in q hurry"
"What forP" sung out the proprie-
tor.
"Don't knowi Maybe it's to hang
pictures," responded the youth, and re-
turned to his duties.
"Hang such messages" growled the
proprietor, and sent off one Of his busiest
draughtsmen with all the implements of
his trade. When he reached the house
he was expected, and was ushered at
once into the presence of the sick man,
a gruff invalid, who curtly asked him II
he had brought sharp razorP
Razori" calculated the astonished
artist, "no, but I've brought hammer
and some picture cord"
There were explanations, and the sick
man was angry and the '4artist" dis
gusted, and It was not until he went
back to the druggist and the matter
was investigated that an understanding
was arrived at. Then sstonsorial
artistn was sent off in haste 10 do the
shaving, and the discounted clerk was
promised pocket dictionary to help
him embellish his understanding.

The Secretary Of the London Board
OF Trade writes me, says x. A. Willard,
In the Country Gentleman, that the i'm
portation Of foreign cheese into Great
Britain has doubled since 1870, It is
now at the rate of 27s. 900, 900 of pounds
per year (276.310.5121, according to
official statistics OF the kingdom / sup
Poss 17S, 900, 900 pounds would fully
cover the annual imports of cheese into
Great Britain from the United States and
Canada, 30 that 100. .00o, 900 pounds must
be imported from the continent Of Eu-
rope, and all this continental cheese diff
fers materially from English make. But
there is also q great variety of English
make. and this catering to the tastes and
notions of the people must account, in
part at least for the enormous consumD-
ton of cheese in Great Britain, which.
from official statistics, Is now more than

Ceneer.ning plomingg.-

Flowing, although apparently q very
simple process, in order to secure
good result must be properly performed.
The soil must be in q proper condition
as to moisture II the soil Is too wet
the process of plowing viii compress its
particles together so that it VIII dry in
hard Jumps, impenetrable to the roots
of plants, and remain In this condition
throughout the season. In this way one
half the soil may be left in hard Jumps
which are practically useless and in the
way of the growing crop. Consequently
not half the yield will be realized which
otherwise might have been obtained.
The soil should be dry enough when
plowed 20 that when the furrow Is
turned over it win tumble and fall to
pieces. Then there win be no Jumps
formed, and when the harrow goes over
it it will be made fine and mellow, suit
able for seed-bed. In such seed-bed
the fine, delicate roots of the young
plants viii find no difficulty in pene-
trating in all directions, and the stores
of plant-food contained therein win be
available for the growing crop. The
object in plowing IS to tighten and pull
yerize the soil. The plow which will
most thoroughly accomplish this object
is the best implement. All parts of the
soil should be stirred 50 that the roots
of plants viii meet with no resistance in
their search for food. Sometimes it Is
desirable to stir the subsoil also, 50 rs to
enable the roots of plants TO extend
deeply. Us'to'a-

Too Little Good Butter.

= The consumption Of butter in the
United States is simply enormous. The
tenth census shows that we manufacture
annually !. 200. .00o. 900 pounds; of this
there are exported, out of the low grades,
25, 900 COO to sc. .000. 600 pounds, but
there is yearly consumed about three
times as much oleomargarine butter as
we export of milk butter, so that our
annual consumption is, rs near as may
be, twenty-five pounds per capita per
annum. We know of no other people
on the face OF the globe that consume
butter at an equal rate The most i'm
portant item connected with this extra
ordinary butter consumption, and the
one which should most attract the at
tention of dairymen is the fact that IS
large as our productions OF butter are,
there is not good butter enough made in
the country to supply the demand, and
that still more would be consumed Z there
was enough produced to bring the price
down to the level Of other provisions
We alluded to this popularity, and re-
marked that butter was abnormally
high, and out Of all proportion with
meat and grain, and that from sheer
scarcity, &c was higher in the United
States than in European countries We
have an absolute proof -of the truth OF
these remarks in the fact that recently

SAD ACCIDENT.

MR.. OSCAR CBAIGG Blown up
by Premature Blast In the Ros-
endale Cement Quarry DE-
STRUCTION ofan EYE-Its sub
sequent Removal by Surgical
Operation.
Mr.. Oscar Craigg was foreman in a cement
quarry at Rosendale, Ulster Co, N. Y. BY
an explosion one day in the quarry he lost an
eye-lost IL totally, Under the impression
told Mr.. sCfaigg that his eye was not lost
wholly, but could be saved by treatment.
The experiment was tried and failed. Worse
remained behind, for he was in danger of
losing the other also, through sympathetic
intamation. In this strait he consulted DIR.
Kennedy, Of Rondout, N. Y, who told him
the injured eve must be taken out TO save
the other. To this Mr.. Craigg demurred, and
went back home in doubt His local physi-
clan said: go to New York" To New York
the patient went, and one OF the most emin-
ent oculists in the country having looked at
the case, said: "You have lost one eye en-
tirely, go back and do what you can to save
the otheT. Briefly, DIR. Kennedy removed
the ruined eye and treated Mr.. Craigg with
"Kennedy's Favorite Kennedy" to build up
the system, and the result was successful.
DIR. Kenuedy,s great success as a Surgeon
is due 10 the use of "FaYorite Remedy" in
the after treatment.
Are you troubled with Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, Constipation, or arrangement of
the Kidneys and Bladder? then use DIR. Ken
nedy's "Fayorite Remedy" 1t will not disap-
point you. DIR. Kennedy's "Favonte Rene

Cards and Calls.

Cards are the especial literature of
polite society, aud have their language
and Interpretation. The author of the
new sAmerican Code of Etiquette"
gives some information on this interest
ing theme. Calling hours, it appears,
differ in the different cities. From two
to five is, however. q period in which q
call can be made in all. Among inti-
mate friends early morning informal
calls are proper, but the stranger can
never presume TO call before two. Many
ladies who are busy, and who desire
very much to have some time to them
selves, deny themselves to guests on
every day but one in the week. 1t is
easy TO ascertain the hours of a city be-
fore calling, and, where early dinners
are the custom, the call must be made
after dinner. IL Is great mistake that
we have no national dinner hour. La
dies in cities dress with great elegance
furs, in winter, and dress bonnet are
the ordinary adornments. Light silk
and snowy things are in the worst pos
sible taste. In summer there is always
q relaxation of ceremony. Gentlemen
! wear, for calling, their usual morning
dress frock-coat, gray trousers, black
cravat, or even those rough garments
which have been so fashionable. The
French fashion of leaving cards without
inquiring for the lady is proper, but il is
not popular in America. s-t To ladies
whose visiting circle Is small, such q
proceeding seems very heartless; TO
those whose circle is immense, and
whose time is occupied, IL Is sometimes
imperative. It is, however, one OF the
uses of the book of etiquette TO explain
that the card is o visit, and can be re-
turned, and should be received as an at
tention. @
A lady should always rise 70 receive
her visitors, and should extend hand.
1t is the American custom, and any
other style of reception seems cold. A
wellbred lady pays equal attention TO
all her callers, particularly TO those
whom she knows the least, and who
might be hurt by her inattention. 1t is
not customary to introduce the residents
of the same city. Strangers should be
introduced, but ladies who sit near each
other can converse without this cere-
mony. No formal calls are made In
America on Sunday, A gentlemsn must
have 3 lady's permission to call on that
day.. aiIn Europe it is very different.
The opera Is never so fashionable as on
tOuuQ6NA 0NCnAuRf 6tC 6AN6
given, and Sunday is especially fete
day But in America all dinners. and
teas are informal ON that day, and gen.
orally, confined to members of ones
family. Young men-who, in America,
are extremely remiss in social d>Ities-
are sometimes told. that il they send
their cards by post they have requited
the hospitality of the lady who invites
them. This is far from being the opin-
ion of the best ladies in society. III a
lady has time to invite agentleman TO
dinner, and he comes, he should GER
tainly find time ether to call in person
on her reception day or on some even
ing, The only person who is excused for
sending card by post is he who is sud-
denly called ON to leave the city, or who
is thrown into mourning by the death
of q friend.-Boston Traveller.
