A Poor Town for Business.

He was red-nosed, wild-eyed man
from tho head waters Of Sage Run, and
looked as if he hadn't been in town
since oil was discovered His rusty
pants were several inches too short at
one end, and he carried half q dozen
coon skins in mis- hand.
At the postotfice corner he met a
lady, and stopping her by holding the
bunch of hides before her face, said;
Cant l sell you something foi to
make set of furs ~
The lady screamed and shot over to
the other side of the street.
Does any of your neighbors want to
buy anything of the kind?" he yelled.
The lady screamed again.
"Now, what's the matter with Han
ner?" remarked the red-nosed man as
the lady disappeared in the door oppo-
site.
A moment later the man veered into
bank and threw the hides down at the
cashiers window.
"Got some A No. l coon skins here
that III sell cheap. Not a scratch of a
tooth on any of them. Ketched every
one Of EN- in box trap"
"We have no use for them" said the
president politely, as lie cast an oblique
glance at the goods.
They will make you a nice vest"
said the red-nosed man. 1.-TWO hides
will make you a vest and one'll make
you cap thst'll wear you as long as
you live."
"My dear sir" replied the president,
somewhat confused. 1--WE don't want
hides here. Take them somewhere
else, please"
"Mebbe your wife would like a set of
furs, and these is"
"No, no, no." replied the banker inn
patiently, take the things away; they
are offensive"
whats that?" said the red-nosed
man, sharply.
Take the blame things out of this,
exclaimed the exasperated banker
"they smell like slaughter house"
"I'll take dollar for the lot"
"The people next door buy coon
skins" put in the cashier; take them
in there, take them up town, take
them down town, take them over the
river, take''-
Gimme fifty cents for the lot" ne
persisted.
eff you don't get out of this I'll kick
your head off," yelled the president.
!Ill take thirty cents for six, said
the red-nosed man. "D'ye say the
word ?' and he dangled the bunch by
the tails.
The president started for the out.
side. The man with the skins started
for the sidewalk, and, after having
reached it, he paused aud said:

shows the regulator to be rather in the

The Amber Cane Industry.

That cane growing in Wisconsin will
become profitable industry of the
state appears to be foregone conclu-
sion Not only from the fact that it can
be successfully grown as q crop, but
that there is and will be greater de-
mand for the sugar and syrups manu-
featured from it. The foreign syrups
and sugars have evidently become so
adulterated that their use have rea-
sonably become Objectionable to very
large portion of the people who will no
longer suffer the imposition and who
are ready to believe that they can pro-
duce home sweets at Il less cost and
make sure of a pure and better article.
That this is so, we readily believe
and have believed for years and we are
pleased to know that there are many
believers who mean to show their faith
by their works. The most of farmers
in Wisconsin may grow their sweets,
especially syrups. and by the way,
there can be no better sweet for fanny
use as a whole, than that produced
from the Amber cane.
For every farmer to supply himself
with machinery and apparatus for
manufacture who grows only from one
half to an acre of cane each year,
might not be deemed economy, as an
outfit to do successful work would be
somewhat expensive. But that each
neiehborhood in our state should have
syrup mandatory for the conveniece
of such neighborhood, is fact and we
think matter of sound economy and
profit. =,
Cane in this state can be as readily
and as easily grown as corn and very
MANY in our state are satisfied rs to It's
becoming a largely paying industry
A comfortable and convenient estab
lishmept for the manufacture of say
5000 gallons year may be erected at
a cost not to exceed from four to five
hundred dollars.
1t is a good time for nelghtorhoods
to consider and resolve 10 plan TOR the
growing of cane the coming season ana
for the manufacture into syrr at least
enough for home consumption. lhere
will be a number of quite extensive
manufactures erected in Wisconsin

smaller ones. Cane growing ard Its

Bee Notes for ADril.

Feed your bees late of pleasant even
ings and you will usually avoid all dam
ger of robbing, rs they will usually
have all the syrup taken care of and
stored in the brood combs before morn
ing.
As soon as fruit blossoms are fairly
out, then we should have all hives
ready and transfer our bees into the
new, movable frame hives with all their
combs and broods, of which we will
give you all the details in our next
weeks lessons.
Look well to the bees that they do
NOT commence robbing each other. 1t
frequently happens late swarm go
through the winter all right, but in ear
ly spring are weak, and with a little
feed, care and attention at the right
time, they will make a good record the
coming season.
God made man, and man made
money; God made bees, and bees gath
err honey. We change the above into
matter of fact, as we understand. from
a'practical standpoint and assert that
bees do not make honey. Hence the
old poet was badly mistaken when he
said that bees m AIDE honey, as they are
only the little Though numerous)
workers or harvesters, that gather in
and store the millions of pounds of the
sweet nectar which otherwise would
be lost.
The science of Agriculture is one of
the most beautiful that God, in His in
finite wisdom has prepared for the
study of man or woman, and should be
better understood by us all, which is so
we'll calculated, in the very nature of
things, to lead us as His children to love
and respect His laws, which are immu-
table and fixed, not to be reversed by
man, but should be more closely stud
led and re, cred, living in accordance
Herewith and loving the good as well
as all that is great and noble. We
would be happier, better men and wo-

as we'll AS enjoy better health our

Yenn0r, on April.

Vennor, the alleged Canadian wealth
er prophet, issues the following forecast
for April:
April is the key to the whole sum-
mer season, and particularly so with
regard to the midsummer, A natural
warm and showery month generally
brings about good harvest; while
either an exceptionally dry or cold
month are indicative of an unfayorable
harvest season.
Scattered snow falls about the LIST.
On the Sd and 4th generally fine
weather, with frosty nights, in portions
of Canada and northern New York.
Snow and frosts, Michigan
Unusual warmth in western sections
during the early portion Of the month.
= Snow fiurries probable about the 9th

More quarrels arise between brother,

The Aquatic Bicyle.
Baltimore Gazette.

Quite a novel aquatic contrivance, in
the shape of marine bicycle, was
placed on exhibition in the harbor at
the foot of South street yesterday, by
Mr.. S. T. Clark, in charge ofthe bicycle
school. 1t consists Of two long narrow
hatboats connected by iron braces, and
having an elevated seat in the center.
The pedals are the same as those on a
road bicycle, and by a cam wheel and
proper gearing actuate propeller
which i'm parts the impetus TO the ma.
chine, while the rudder is manipulated
by AN ordinary handle and rod. The
marine bicycle rides smoothly and
swiftly on the water, and, on account of
It's raft.like shape, cannot easily be
upset. The position of the occupant is
less cramped than that of an oarsman,
and the propelling power is greater, be.
cause there Is more muscular power IN
the legs than in the arms. For the use
of ladies it can be converted into a
tricvcle, and az it is divided into a
tight compartments, its safety would
seem to be assured.

costumes.
The large poke Dunstable and Direc-
toire bonnets will be worn tip tilted far
forward on the head.
Furry felt, plain felt, and plush bon

The sacque chemise, embroidered
front and V-shaped back and front, re-
mains the favorite with those who wear
French lingerie.
Satin brocaded flowers of large size
on MORE grounds, and large watered
flowers on satin grounds, are the new

The shapes of the best English round
hats are limitations from old portraits
by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Peter Lely,
Vandyke, Rubens and other famous
painters.
No printed lawns and organdies hav e
as yet made their appearance on dry

they will not be worn. But they may
be held in reserve by the importers.
1t is permissible for young girls to
wear very small diamonds, earrings
and small diamond cross around the
neck suspended from double strand
of small pearls. Similar bracelets may
be worn on the arms.

Salaries OF New York Clergymen.

Speaking of salaries, Broadway Tab
ernacle has advanced the pastor (Tay-

clerical salary in New York. This is n
judicious method TO keep him from
accepting any other call. Trinity has
been giving it, rector dix $4,000 and
house worth $1,000 year. He will
probably be advanced to $50 600. John
Hall has $4,000, but will also be adj
vanced in proportionate degree.
Paxton, formerly Of Washington, has
been called by one Of our opulent Pres
byterian churches at $l2 900 a year. One
Baptist preacher (McArthur) is said to
be equally well paid, while two of his
denomination tBridgoman and Armit-
