A German Silver Wedding.

On this Sunday there was evidently
something unusual astir. People chung
like swarming bees about the doors of
the bakers house, where swung the
blue wooden sign, displaying the usual
white coffee-pot and the lavish assort-

the occasion with laurel and bay, as if

bakers house, which is built, as are all

the custom ers look on from opposite

opportunities for gossiping with all the
old women who look in, ostensibly to
fetch their daily loaves of black bread,
yard long, and as hard as a brickbat.
But on this occasion long table occu-
pies the center of the hall, spread with
all sorts of unusual delicaoies. Six or
eight brown smoked hams, and as many

The arrangements for the Fourth at

who came here to spend the day. The

Bloomington, was of marked ability and

POtatOe Cultivation.

The potatoe was discussed at meet
ing of the Central New York Farmers
Club. The facts developed in the ex-
perience of farmers present were that
though soil and season unques-
tionably have much to do with
the flavor of potatoes, the late potatoes
retain their flavor over winter and into
spring better than early sorts. Profess
sor Roberts found that under the same
conditions, small potatoes for seed gave
the poorest result, the middle part of
large potatoes next, the seed potatoes
next, and the seed end the best. A
whole large potato with single eve is
the best possible seed. More work is
needed, but better crop secured by
cuitivating in rows or drilling, rather
than in hills.

A Tough Frenchman.

IL seems almost impossible to believe
Che accounts of the severe injuries from
which the brain sometimes RECEIVERS. An
instance is related in which French
man drove dagger through his skull
with mallet, in an attempt to commit
suicide. He struck the dagger about a
dozen times. The weapon, which was
ten centimeters long and one wide. was
nearly embedded. In order to remove
the dagger, the patient was placed on
the ground, and while two strong men
held his shoulders, the dagger was forci-
bly, pulled with carpenters pincers. but
to no avail. Strange to say, these pro-
ceedings did not cause any pain, and al
though patient and assistants were raised
off the ground, the weapon remained i'm
movable. At last the man, walking.
without much difficulty, was taken to a
coppersmith, and there the handle of
the dagger was fastened by strong pincers
TO chain, which was passed over cyl
:nder turned by steam power. The man
was then secured to rings fixed in the
ground and the cylinder set gently in
motion, when, after the second turn. the
dagger came out No pain had been
suffered by the patient during all these
maneuvers, and after remaining in the
hospital for ten days, he returned to his
work and the wound gradually healed. =
