HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Kick your corn through window
glass, and the pane is gone forever.
It is worth remembering that when
man despairs of getting good weight at
his grocer's he can generally get all the
wait he wants by dropping in at his
BARRIERS.
"My boy" said a conscientious
teacher, "do you know the reason why
I'm going to whip you?" eyes, re-
piled the hopeful, "because you're
bigger than I am"
It is quite common for boy to mis-
behave when people are looking at him,
for the mere fun of shocking them. But
a man is not boy. He knows better,
and acts badly only when people are
not looking.
We notice an article extensively
copied, describing certain lecturers
who are afraid of their audiences. But
no genuine sympathy appears to be
shown toward the many weary, tor
tured audiences who are afraid of their
lecturers.
Miss Lemon was a maiden sour
AS any acid know
But tartar she had married Grab
More Grabbed she did grow;
And when her sister came to call,
Such shrieks she did begin,
Her husband said the Lemons peal
Did fright the Lemons kin.

Cleaning Horses by Steam

A machine which cleans horses by
steam is in use in horse railroad stables
in New York city. A description of the
machine says
It's standard rate is one hundred
horses in ten hours, but yesterday it
cleaned 122 between 1880 A, NJ. and $40
P. NJ, with an hours intermission for
dinner. To test it, extra speed was put
on, and one horse was actually cleaned
in one minute and fifteen seconds, and
more thoroughly than by the ordinary
process. The horse is led under bar,
from which depend on each side of him
arms with universal joints. Turning
on the arms are brushes q foot in cir
conference. These are revolved by
steam through the arms. and cross-bar
at an ordinary rate of 800 revolutions a
minute, which can be increased to 1000,
A man on each side takes hold of the
arm close to the brush and applies
the brush to the horse. The steam that
whirls the brush makes noise a good
deal like the kissing of hostler. The
universal joints allow the arms and
brushes to be moved in any direction,
Beginning at the head, the men move
the brush along the sides, back and
belly, and down the legs of the horse
to the feet. A cloud of dust arises in
the air, and in two minutes the horse
looks like different creature. The
horses were little nervous at first, but
after few seconds all appeared to be
pleased with the operation.

Curious Notices.


A bridge at Denver, Colorado, boasts
Of notice which might almost claim
the dignity of being ranked as a mathe-
matical proposition. 1t is to the effect
that mo vehicle drawn by more than
one animal is allowed to cross this bridge
in opposite directions at the same
time" An equally slipshod specimen
of the Queens English may still be
found exhibited as a "public notice"
by the Southeastern Railway company
at the Cannon street terminus /;
"Tickets once nipped and defaced at
the barriers, and the passengers ad-
mitted to the platform will be delivered
to the company in the event Of the
holders subsequently retiring from the
platform, without travelling, and cannot
be recognized for re.admission,"
Seventy years ago the U1liUersdE Mag
dzine recorded the fact that the notice
"reding and wrighting taut hear" ap-
peared over the door of school in the
neighborhood of Hoxton; and a few
years since the Leeds Express contained
evidence that the schoolmaster was still
abroad. According to that newspaper
two curious documents we're to be seen
in two different windows in the neigh
borhood of Hunslet. The first, in a
wretched scribble, is as follows: "A Da
Skool kept hat-plaise, terms and 3
pens per week for reeding and knitting
and righting and sowing" The other,
in the window of a shoemaker, is SINH

dow in Drury Lane:

To mend old boots, likewise old shoes;

The native landlord of the hotel at
Lahore, in which the following notice
to the guests is posted up, is apparently
determined to charge for every possible
item of expenditure, and to allow
no fuss about the payment OF
what he anticipates his customers
will look upon as overcharges
Gentlemen who come in hotel not
say anything about their meals they
will be charged for and if they should
say beforehand that they are going out
to breakfast or dinner, ETC., and if they
say that they not have anything to eat,
they will be charged, and if not so they
will be charged, or unless they bring it
| to the notice of the manager ; and
should they want to say anything they
must order the manager for and not
any one else and unless they moi
bring it to the notice of the manager,
they will be charged for the least things
according to the hotel rate, and no fuss
will be allowed afterwards about it
Should any gentleman take wall lamps
or candle-light from the public rooms
they must pay for it without any dis
pute its charges. Monthly gentleman
will have to pay my fixed rate made
with them at the time, and should they
absent day il the month, they will no
be allowed to deduct anything out O
it, because 1 take from them less rat'
than my usual rate of monthly charges.

Charlotte Cushman's Spirit.

The following anecdote illustrates
Miss Cushman's decision and nerve.
At the the National theater, Boston,
during the season of 1S51-52, as she
was playing Romeo to the Juliet of
Miss Anderton, in the midst of one of
the most romantic passages between
the lovers, some person In the house
sneezed in such manner as to attract
the attention of the whole audience,
and every one knew that the sneeze
was artificial and derisive. Miss
Oushman instantly stopped the dia-
logue, and led Miss Anderton off the
stage, as a cavalier might lead a lady
from a place where an insult had been
offered her. She then returned to the
footlights and said in q clear, firm
voice: "SOme man must put that per-
son out or shall be obliged to do it
myself" The fellow was taken away;
the audience rose en- masse and gave
three cheers for Miss Oushman, who
recalled her companion and proceeded
with the play as if nothing had hap
pened:

THE Hav Trade.

Dealers and brokers in hay doing
business in this city, says the New
York Times, are deploring the LACK of
organization in the trade which has
resulted in preventing the development
that would otherwise have occurred in
this branch of business. 1t is insisted
that the Importance of the trade has
never been properly understood, or, at
least, taken into account, and that loss
has resulted in consequence. There
are about six hundred dealers in hay at
this port, and the value of the COM
modify handled here annually is esti-
mated at from 500, 900, 900 to $25, ,000,-
600. Not only is New York the great
est hay growing State in the
Union, bat this city is the CEN
ter of supply of the commodity
for the sea-board Southern States
and for the West Indies, Mexico and
Central and South America. The
american Grocer; in a recent article
calling attention to the condition of
the trade in hay here, gives some in.
teresting figures. 1t appears from them
that the hay crop stands third in i'm
portance. In 1S80-the year for which
bud sbhbloblSo nAO 3ANOh tA4o NNAhp OA
the Indian corn produced was $685.
TIA, 4,499; that of wheat, $474, 20l, $50,
and that of hay 1871, ,8110S4. Cotton
was next on the list, with value IF
$3.50 266, 2 10, then oats, valued at $780,
243, 565; then potatoes, SS1, ,062, 2l4. and
then tobacco, S34, ,414,6l5. AS to the
paying quality of the crop, it appears
that the hay yielded return of SLABS
per acre, or 1888 per acre in excess of
the corn. The five States of New York,
Iowa, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio
furnished 10. 432, 410 tons, or nearly one
half the entire supply, which aggre-
gated 3l,925, 233 tons. One of
the great complaints in the trade
is the use of hickory or other heavy
wood in baling. 1t ia said to be an
every. day occurrence for baled hay to
come to market with the wood weighing
from fifteen to twenty five per cent, Of
the whole. Among other drawbacks to
the development OF the taade here are
said to be the lack of system in gather
ing statistical information, the absence
of a recognized standard of grade, such
as obtains in Chicago, and the need of
a way for +" obtaining concerted or au-
thoritatiVe action to induce growers to
properly cure and prepare the hay for
market" The organization OF an ex.
change for tho trade is urged as q rem,
edy for the evils.

The Builders.
HENRY W. IoNeFEt1ov.

HENRY W. LONGFEfLoW.
All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments Of rhyme
Nothing useless is, OF low;
Each thing in its place is best,
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raiss.
Time is with materials filed;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which vs build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days Of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where gods may dwell
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Times
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

A DesperadO's Death.

The death of Jesse James recalls the
death of another equally desperate ban
dit, "Sam Bass, who made the plains
of Western Texas the scene of his ex-
ploits. This noted robber for whose
capture, "dead or alive, }" large sum
had been offered, was finally entrapped
with a comrade in the town of Round
Rock, in the summer of 1875, and after
a short but bloody struggle, in which
the sheriff of Williamson county and
two of his deputies, as we'll as the COM
panion of the outlaw, were left in the
streets dead and dying, Bass himself
fell from his hUrse in the outskirts OF
the town, mortally wounded by ball
from Winchester rifle. He was buried
with much "pomp and circumstance
in the cemetery at Round Rock; songs
were composed and sung in his honor,
and his grave is even now often strewn
with flowers by sympathizing persons.
His gang was broken up, many of his
partners in crime going up into Mis-
souri, and joining Jesse James. Two OF
them, +" Frank - Carter and John Under
WOOD, have figured conspicuously in
several recent train robberies.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.


MAKING CIDER VINEGAR.-Variou
methods for fastening the conversion Of
cider into vinegar have been recommend
ed. A recent French method which seems
practicable, is the following: Scald three
barrels or casks with hot water, rinse.
thoroughly, and empty. Then scald with
boiling vinegar, rolling the barrels and al
lowing them to stand on their sides two or
three days until they become thoroughly
saturated with the vinegar. The barrels
are then filled about one-third full with
strong, pure cider vinegar and two gallons
of cider added. Every eight days there
after two gallons of cider are added, until
the barrels are Jwo-thirds full. The whole
is allowed to stand fourteen days longer,
when it will be found'to be good vinegar,
and ne.half of it may be drawn and the
process of filling with cider be begun again.
In summer the barrels are allowed to
stand exposed to the sun, and in cold
weather kept where the temperature is 80
degrees.

An Obstinate Family.

Near Mazda, Delaware county. Pa,
there is living at the age of "a. Mrs.
Isaac Yarnall, who is represented as
kind, quiet and clever neighbor, but who
is said to have lived for forty years with
her husband without speaking to him OF
be to her. He died about four years ago.
The pair settled where the aged widow
now lives more than half century ego.
He was an industrious and thrifty tiller
of the SOIL He plodded along diligently
and saved his hard earned dollars until be
amassed sufficient to purchase a hundred
acre farm. This he worked until his death
and by jud1cious investments managed to
leave behind him the snug sum Of $25, 900,
on which the family are now living. The
trouble between himself and wife was
brought about in this way: Mrs. Yarnall
was bequeathed small sum of money by
a relative, which her husband desired to
use in purchasing farming implements and
otherwise improving the property. His
better half said no. Isaac vowed that un-
less he was given the money he would
never speak another word to her. True to
his VOW he steadfastly refrained from
speaking for forty long years. The daugh-
tiers, who were nothing more than mere
children, when this falling out occurred,
tried to get their father and mother to
make up, but failed.
Reared under the surroundings, it is
not surprising that when the girls grew to
womanhood they should take the sides
with their disagreeing parents. One up
held the father; another the mother, while
the third. after vainly trying to bring
about harmonious feeling between all
hands, became disheartened and gave up
the task. The daughters have, since they
quarrelled, always ignored each others
presence. At the fathers funeral a car
riage was provided for the girls to convey
them to the cemetery. When the funeral
cortege was leaving the house the girls
found that they we're expected to ride
together. They at first refused, but
persistent coaxing and the fear of crea-
ting scene sufficed to induce them to sti-
de their repugnant feelings for the time
being, and the daughters rode off together.
A stranger visiting the Yarnalls would
fail to discover at the first visit any fami-
ly differences. The old lady and the three
daughters address their conversation en-
tirely to the visitor, and wait patiently un-
til until each question is answered before
another. When alone thew
eat together, but never speak. and move

Among the people Two Glanced to know,
In the course of my varied career.

held exceedingly dear;
A rolicking, mischievsus blueeyed lad
Not shockingly good nor painfully bad,
Though triie precocous, 1 fear.
He was wise in the larger wisdom that comes
While the fingers still number ones years:
He was staggered by none Of life's hard sums,
Dismayed by none Of its fears

Was full OF promise, and tempting and sweet,
And free from the gall Of tears. ..a
And wonderful things he intended to do
This boy whom used to know;
For fame he would win. and fortune, too,
When to mans estate he should grow.
He would help the poor lift up the oppressed.
And cause his name by the werld to be blessed,
As he teld me, with cheeks aglow.
And then, in good time, he would WOO and wed
maiden bewitchingly fair,
With eyes like the night. and lips ruby red,
And coils OF raven black hair:
And she would be always and ever his queen,

His joys and his triumphs to share.

And well for his golden plans;
If he failed to tread in the drsamed-of ways.

Twas the world which youth ever SC ans.

And would not their simple faith destroy,
Though in truth know he is dead!
He died when the freshness of youth went out
In disappointment and sorrow and doubt,
And the man was born instead!
Yes, he died forever, the laughing lad,
When the better lesson be learned,
That the world grows bleak and the soul grows sad
Whatever the hopes that have burned
He died. and the truthful happy YOUTH
Who jumped at the stars and guessed at the truth,
To the doubling cynic was turned!
