A SERIoUsJoKE Recently two of Mr.. Duff.
fy's neighbors determined to abduct pet can
belonging to that gentleman, and Mr.. Duffy be.
came aware of their scheme. Therefore he
quietly removed the calf from the box-stall in
which it was confined and in the place of it
introduced a goat of the William gender and
a very vicious disposition. He also fixed a
spring on the door Of the stall, that would
cause it to close unless held open, and he also
attached to the door spring lock that would
fasten, and could only be unfastened from the
outside Then he went to bed, but not to
slesb. It was at the Witching hour OF mid.
night that the two marauders entered Mr.
buffy's barn. They had examined the prem
! ises the day before and knew exactly where
to 20. Each of them carried dark lantern.
They entered the stall and the door closed
behind them. Everything was still. One OF
them opened tho slide of his lantern. Then
there was clatter \Qf hoofs and the man with
the lantern found himself piled up in corner,
very much surprised He thought it was the
queerest calf he had ever met. Then the
other man opened the slide to his lantern to
see what the matter WAS, and the next instant
the breath went out bf him with ''yah" that
made the listening Duffy laugh all over. Then
all was still again exdept the faint profanity OF
the men, and finally the man who was hit first
recovered enough to pay around and find his
lantern. 1t was extinghished, but he got out
a match and lighted it again. Then he turn
ed the bulls eye toward the>gQat, and then he
went on the corner again. The goats blood
being aroused, he didn't waltz for further
lights, but began to butt arouhd promiscu-
ously, and the robbers concluded it was time
to get out. But that didn't Prove so easily
done. Then they began to yell for help, and
Mr.. Duffy could tell when the goat hit them,
because instead of yelling ''help l'' they cried
"oh !' and after he had laughed till his sides
ached, he went and let them out on condition
that they wouldn't try to carry off the goat,
and when they stepped out Of the barn, he
jumped and stamped and yelled that the goat
was after them, and they screamed murder
and ran three miles down the road before they
stopped for breath. Duffy still keeps the
calf

The NEW SCHooLMAsTER.-Theo old man
approached the new schoolmaster with bull
dog glare in his eye.
"You got after my boy yesterday because he
left live hornet glued to your chair ?"
II did,
''You licked him so he thought the world
was coming to an end?
''That was the impression 1 intended to
convey to him."
81 am his father, and I've come to let you
know what think of your proceedings"
Then they clinched. Hair and blood flew in
the air, likewise the dust and fragments of
garments. Then it quieted down a little,
and the old man implored him to let him
up, stop choking, and take his teeth from
that ear.
'sWhat do you think about my warming
your boy 20 asked the teacher.
81 think you did Just right, and when 60
home I'll give him tanning that'l teach
him to come to me with his complaints and
stories that the schoolmaster can't fight"
They parted and the schoolmaster murmur-
ed, 81 did right to tackle the son OF the worst
fighting man in the district first. None of
the others will poster me.'

WHY HE QUIT sPECULATING.

He is an old gray-haired clerk in Wall Street

time, why he never speculated, and after some
little hesitation, he replied
''There was time when was confirmed

pretty good salary, but in year after my first

Friday night I closed the books and walked
down Reekman street to the river, calculating
to leap in and become food for sharks. As Il
neared the ship I came upon stranger, sick,
and wet, and unable to move. He asked me
to secure carriage for him, and said he had
plenty of money to reward me. A fiendish

hardly conceived before executed. I grasped
his throat, choked him senseless, robbed the

'sAnd we're you never found out %

While they looked at each other in dazed
way the old clerk finished his beef, wiped of
his mouth, and observed:

THE ADVANTAGES OF LIQUID MANURE.
On everyone's premises there is ABUNDANT ma
terial for supply of liquid manure. If moth
ing else, the refuse washings from the kitch-
ell, if allowed to run into sunken barrel
would give a full supply for use on small
place.
In ''Ten Acres Enough" it is related of a
German who started with capital of S3,
paid in labor for four pigs, and from these
and the refuse of the family made in buried
hogshead, sufficient liquid manure, applied by
means of wheelbarrow to fertilze his acres,
obtain more stock, and grow crops enough in
four years to pay $500 for the place, support
his family and gather around him many house
hold comforts and farm implements and ap-
pliances. Mr.. Morris, acting upon the sugges-
tion of thriving German, put on his own barn
yard a tank into which was conducted the
wash from stable, pig pen and yard. Once or
twice per week this was pumped up and dis
tributed over the manure heap and over q
huge pile of leaves, the whole mass being sat-
urated with liquid manure and never allowed
to become dry. In the Spring both heaps were
found to be reduced to semi-fuid mass The
effects of this manure were marked, bringing
early vegetables to market ten days sooner than
those of neighboring gardens, and the Fall
crops enjoyed still greater advantage, from
the longer continuance of the manuring. The
profits of farm often come from saving what
others allow to 60 to waste.-ErchanW.

PROTECTION AGAINST MoTHs.-To keep
out moths, buy tar paper in sheets from the
drug store. 1t costs fifty cents for dozen
large Sheets Have the woolen articles well
brushed, and wipe off with a little diluted am
monia any grease spots, as these are the places
where it is most likely the moth will have laid
its eggs. That is the reason why moth holes
are frequently found on the front of waistcoats
or front breadths of the dress. If you see any
suspicious white films upon the cloth, secure
against these by pressing them with hot iron
over damp cloth. 1t is claimed by some
that the tar paper will not only keep out the
moths, but that it will even destroy the grub
But this is not sure, SO take care that there
are no moth films or white speckS upon the gar
ments you have put away, and you may safely
trust the tar paper to keep them out. The
most delicate white woolens and furs can be
laid away in this paper without any protection,
as the tar does not rub off, The leading tail
ors put away their winter goods in tar paper.
For the large furlined garments, if you send
these to trusty furrier, he will insure them.
If you do not care to do this, envelOp the
cloak at it's full length with the tar paper, and
then sew it up in a course linen bag, hanging
it up, as if it we're acanvas-covered ham. The
coarse glossy gray linen that comes so cheap
for ulsters and coats is the right thing, as it is
slippery enough to repel the moths moths
like soft nests and do not like linen fibre. The
tar paper alone is sufficient if you put the cloak
away in chest. If you hang it up it is best
to have bag for it.
