A VOlnan's Quick Wit.

The part of Tennessee through which
have been knocked about is full of
"reminiscences of the war, but there is
none of its bitterness left. In war time
the people ave generally divided III
their sentiments, and no man could tell
t'other from which. This remark re-
minds me Of u story heard about an
estimable woman Of 70-odd, who died
mountains. One day. during the war,
when the country was fairly alive with
guerrillas, she had occasion to take some
valuable goods with her on trip she
was maxim and put them on her horse,
back Of her. When she had gone some
distance in the woods she heard squad
OF guerrillas approaching, and, knowing
her goods would not be safe for Q
moment, she s;raddled her horse, man
fashion, and, throwing her long skirt
over the package behind her, completely
concealed it. When the guerril!as rode
up she was unable to guess whether
they belonged to the North or to the
South-their uniform being no solution
whatever. She determined, II ques-
toned, to play bluff game with them,
and she soon had a chance to exercise
her wit. "Hello I" called out one Of
the guerrillas. "Hello /" she returned.
"What side are you on?" he challenged.
She laughed good laugh at him as she
replied, kicking out her feet F.: "On both
sides, Of course can't you see?" This
brought roar from the whole squad,
and they began to banter her in her OWL
fashion. (Which side is your old man
on ?" asked one of them. He's on
neither side" she laughed; "he's on
his back, and has been for years" Such
wit saved her, and they let her pass un-
molested.-Lettcr to Cincinnati Com

The Greek Brigands of To-day.

The whole of the band of Greek
origands by whom Mr.. Suter was cap
tured were Christians-that is, they
belonged to the Greek Church-and no
less than seven had been in the Greek
army in different grades, and had de-
serted therefrom. Notwithstanding that
every day of their lives is passed in per-
petrating the most heinous crimes, yet
these men never begin meal without
crossing themselves, and saying their
prayers at night. On the Greek Easter
day Mr., Suter was surprised to find
that each had his candle lighted. and
that after presenting one to the prisoner
they would not begin to eat till they
had crossed themselves three times,
each time the chief saying: "Christ
is risen, and the remainder answering :
"Truly, He is risen," concluding the
ceremony by kissing each other all
round, including Mr.. Suter.
Every brigand wears charm, con-
sisting of either bit of blue glass or
red silk, to preserve his flesh from being
reneiyated by bullets, and the faith
they all put IN these things surpasses
belief. One anccdote is told of o men,
Der Of Aristides' band Who, during the
Cretan lnsllrrection, was exposed on the
top of rock to tlle fire of the Turkish
troops. Presently he gave o shout and
fell back, saying he was shot, but when
examined nothing cOu d be seen but a
slight black mark where the bullet
struck him. This was all accounted for
by blue marble CHAIN which he wore,
and several men swOre to the truth OF
the above story.
One or two stories, as related to Mr..
Suter Ny the gang round their evening
meal, show their brutality. The chief
of the band, Aristides, one day came
across an old Turk ont shooting. who
had with him his piece of forked stick,
which is used in order to obtain o bet
ter aim Ivy resting ON it the ''arrel of the
gun. Simply for amusement, the brig
and chief strangled the man, afterward
placing him in a kneeling position, put
ting his fowl ng piece to lis shoulder,
and resting the barrel on the crutch i'll
the most natural position, SO that any
passer-by wonid never suspect but that
it was n peasant sportsman instead Of
CORPSE.
Another anecdote was told with great
RuStO. 4NihO, IiiC CiiANl WI bIC Oduu tlldt
took Col. Synge, caught man near a
saw-mili whom he thought he recog-
nized. The conversation commenced
thus; "Did you not once spy for
me p eyes, Did I not pay you
five liras for SO doing I" Eyes"
"rhen," said Niko, "take bit of pa
per aud pencil and write as / tell you
This is the WY Nlko treats traitors"
After this was done he first sawed off the
mans right hand SO that he should
never write anything against him, next
he deprived him of his ears SO that he
should hear no mole questions about
the band, and, finally, he cut his tongue
out to prevent his telling tales. Then,
wrapping all these fragments i'll hand
kercllief, he bade him walk to the near
est village to present them with the note
to the Pasha. ! he poor man, not dar-
ing to refuse, Struggled ON till he
died from loss vi blood.-LOnd0n Daily

Profit in Black Walnuts.

The smartest Texan, and, in fact, the
smartest farmer, have ever met, is old
Sim Graves, who lives on 1.OOO,acre
farm west of Waxahatchie, in Central
Texas. After Mr.. Graves had shown me
his cattle and cotton, he took me oyer to
see his woods.
"WeI, what Of it?" I said, Is he
pointed to ten-acre forest.
"What of it?' Why, them's black
walnuts, sir. Ten acres of 'em.
Planted 'em myself ten years ago. See.
they're nine inches through. Good trees,
ehY"
And sure enough there were ten
acres of hand, lanted hlack-walnut
trees. They stood about twelve feet
apart, 200 to the acre - in all 2.OO0
trees.
"Well, how did you get your money
back ?" l asked.
"Black walnuts are worth $3.50 o
bushel, amt they? Ill get 400 bushels
this year. That's $1,000. A hundred
dollars an acre is good rent for land
worth $15 an acre, amt it?"
"Well, what else ?" inquired, grow.
ing interested.
"The trees" continued Mr.. Graves.
"are growing an inch . year. When
they are 20 years old they will be nine
teen inches through. A black-walnut
tree nineteen inches through is worth
$21 My 1000 trees ten years from
now will be worth $4,000. If don't
want to cut them all, can cut half of
them and then raise bushel of walnuts
to the tree-that is, get $500 year
for the crop. Two hundred and fifty
dollars an acre is fair rent for $l5 land,
amt it ?"-Letter from San AntoniO,
IIras.

USEFUL HINTS.

To DRIVE away reaches, use paste oi
powdered chloride of lime, two parts.
and one part of any fatty substance.
IF little vinegar or some cider is
mixed with stove polish it will not take
much rubbing to make the stove bright,
and the blacking is not likely to fly of
in fine dust.
RED ants may be banished from PAN
try or store-room by strewing the
shelves with small quantity of cloves,
either whole or ground. We use the
former, as not being SO likely to get into
food placed upon the shelves. The
cloves should be renewed occasionally,
as, after time, they lose their strength
and efficacy.
10 CLEAN steel engravings: Secure
the engrayings with drawing pins on
smooth board and cover it thinly with
common salt, finely powdered pour and
squeeze lemon juice upon this salt, 80 o
to dissolve a considerable part OF it.
Now elevate one end of the board so as to
form an angle of forty-iive degrees with
the horizon. Pour, lastly, on the eR-
craving, boiling water from tea kettle
until the salt and lemon juice are all
washed off ; the engraving will then ap-
pear perfectly clean and free from stains.
1t must be dried gradually on the SINE
board or on some smooth surface.
No LADY knows until she has tried it
bow much she may change the aspect of
things about the house by using little
varnlsh. On sunshiny day take the
old chairs and tables out ON the porch
or by an open door, and, after thorough
ly busting and wiping off with damp
cloth, apply thin coat of varnish, and
so cover up scratches and marred spots
OF all kinds. 1t will dry in very short
time, and you will be surprised to see
how much good you have done. A fan
mel cloth with very little Gnseed oil
is good to rub furniture with, but the
greatest care must be exercised to pre-
vent any oil being left on the wood to
attract dust. 1t must be rubbed until
you would not know, except by the inn
proved appearance, that amy Oh had
been used.
A BOX constructed as follows will an
swer very well in lieu of an expensive
ice chest: Take two dry-goods boxes,
one Elk inches smaller in each direction
than the other. Put one inside the 9TH
er, and pack the space with some nom
conducting material, such as wool, cot
ton seed, planning mill shavings, chalc lal
or sawdust. Put stats across the inside
box near the top on which to rest the
ice. and use q bag of sawdust, or any
other non-conduUting matter, for liu.
There should be some provision for
drainage from the bottom of the box.
An ice box on q small scale, for keeping
milk cool through the night for children
or invalids, is easily improvised. Put
the milk into crock, and over the top
set another crock enough smaller than
the first to sink into it an inch or two.
Fill the upper crock with ice, cover the
top with woolen cloths and spread a
blanket over the whole. If more con
venient the milk may be put into bot
tie or any small vessel and set in the
crock.
