TIE CARELESS CROR.

A crow that was black as ever was born
Flew out of his nest one beautiful morn.
And. calling his mates from far and from
iesa-,
Spoke words that they all were anxious to
hear.
"You all, fellow crows, know old Farmer
Green,
Who raises good corn as ever was seen;
Well, funny it is-youn laugh, i dare say
He's put up scarecrow to keep us away"
''Cawl cawI" laughed the crows, "a sorry old
wight
To think an old coat will give us a fright
Cav! caw!" and ''caw! caw!-now let us
To where Farmer Green has put his scare
crow"
Then quickly they few, and, led by the one
Who'd called them together to tell of the fun
They soon reached the field where stood, ali
fOrlorn,
horrid old image among the green corn.
The crow in advance, to show he'd no fear,
Went near TO the scarecrow-alaS! too nearl
For crack went gun, and, shot through
the head,
The crow that was careless tumbled down
dead.
Cav! caw!" Shrek the crows, now laughing
no more,
Cav! cawr' they all cry as upward they
soar.
And never again was one of them seen
TO go near the scarecrow of old Farmer
Green.

English Raspberry Jam.

A grocer. named John Acca, of West
minister, was summoned yesterday fol
selling, to the prejudice of the purchas
er, an article of food, to-wit: jam, which
was not of the nature, substance and
quality demanded. The article which
was sold by the defendant as ''raspber.
ry'' jam was analysed by DR.. Dupre,
whose certificate read as follows: 1.-The
jam contains no raspberries at all, but
chiefly consists of mixture of goose
berries, black currants, etc., with the
addition of some seeds, not identified,
and colored by rosanine Zone of the coal
tar colors.) The seeds and colorino
matter are added to give the mixture
the appearance of the genuine article,
and the presence of the coloring matter
in an article of food is highly objection
able, and may occasionally be injurious
to health" A fine Of twenty shillings
and costs was imposed upon the defend
ant. Another grocer, named Levy, met
with the same punishment for similar
offense. Mall Gazette.

Buckle called Latch goggle-eyed liar.
Latch called Buckle spotted liar with
a Goldfish eye, and Buckle challenged
him. Arrangements were made with a
couple of seconds to whom the whole
thing was explained. and who consid-
cred the plan a fine piece of invention.
The men were to fight with Derringers,
distance ten PAGES. A grove, just out
side of the city limits, was chosen as the
battle ground. On the night before the
duel was to take place, the seconds met
in beer saloon, and while sitting at a
table, one of them remarked:
"Say. of course, we are paid for this
thing, but after thinking the matter
over, hanged if 1 like the idea of giving

the counterfeit part of the affair, and to

The antagonists were placed in posi-

A couple of loud yells arose. Buckle
ran around with one ear almost gone
and one eve almost knocked out Latch

to Latch. "What made you shoot me-
Amt you got no sense ?''

Orange Insects.

When n dish OF oranges is seen on the
table for dessert. the TACT is hardly re-
allied that in all probability their sur
face is the habitat of an insect of the
Coccus family. This tiny creature is
found on the orange skin in every stage
of transformation, from the egg to the
perfect insect, during the winter
months, instead of remaining dormant
an the cold weather, as is the case with
most of the insect tribe. Itwould hard
w be possible to find St. MichaeIs or
Tangerine orange that had not hun
dreds OF these little creatures in various
stages OF development on its surface.
Lemons, too, are frequently covered.
Upon inspection, the skin of an orange
will be found To be dotted over with
brownish scarlet spots of various sizes.
These specks can be easily removed by
n needle, and when placed under a mi
croscope, an interesting scene is pre-
scented, consisting of large number Oh
eggs, which are oval white bodies,
standing on end, like little bags of flour,
some OF the inhabitants of which NAV
very probably be seen in process OF
emerging from the opened end of the
egg. The female insect upon leaving
the egg has six legs, two long hair-like
appendages, and no wings; it thrusts a
sucker into the orange in order to OBJ
tain nourishment, and never moves
again, passing through the various
stages of development until it lays its
eggs and dies. In the case of the male
insect, the chrysalis after short period
opens and the insect flies of. The
male is supplied with wings twice the
length of its body, and each of the leg:
has a hook-like projection. 1t has -four
eyes and two antenn@, and is so tiny
that it cannot be seen when flying.

The surface of oranges. indeed. affords

amount of interest and amusement.

ing of frizzles. bangs and cheap Jewell

The Politician-Tact one part; two
eyes for the main chance; one tongue,
well oiled, and as much cheek as posi-
bic. If you have little brain handy,
it may be added sparingly; but it does
not matter much, and most housekeep.
ers consider any use of brain in this
connection as extravaganza. Bake in a
slow oven, so that it need not be done
brown. If it be more than half baked il

The Poet To make poet, take lib.

through rhyming dictionary, and add
equal parts of lovesick adjectives,
archaic adverbs and such other words
as you may never have heard of. Set in
a warm place, where the whole may be-
come intimately mingled, and garnish
with long hair. seedy clothing and an
empty stomach.

gallons of gush and twaddle for each

Charity-This is usually served cold.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

-Wastefulness treads on the heels oil
pxtrava0ance, and the model farmer
will not tolerate either on his premises.
A tree overloaded with fruit can
neither perfect the fruit nor ripen its
wood properly. A great many trees
are annually ruined by too much crop
ping.
Pine stumps may be more profitably
removed by blasting with dynamite
than by stump-puller. A large pine
stump requires very great force to be
pulled out of the ground, but it is easily
torn to pieces and thrown out by two to
four ounces of dynamite. indianapolis
