Rough on Sam.

Sam Rideout is an Austin clerk. He
is personally not very attractive, and
his morals are of a very inferior quality.
One of Sans peculiarities is to use
mercantile terms and expressions, no
matter what subject is being discussed.
He and a few friends were talking about
clergymen and doctors the other day,
and one of them asked Sam who his
family doctor was.
..Dr. Dosem supplies us with all we
need in the physical department., and
Parson Soothem furnishes us full line
of piety goods" said Sam.
Look here, Sam,' remarked Gil
hooly, eff Dr. Dosem is responsible for
your looks, and Parson Soothem fur
nished you with your morals, all I've
got to say is, that they have showed a
lot of secondhand goods off on you,
and they're badly damaged besides.
You ought to deal, from now on, with
first-class houses. You have been swim
died outrageously.. To look at you, one
would suppose your good looks and
manners were of home manufacture. ;"

Surprised.

Hearing story gravely told about a
clam that crawled up a wall, one might
reasonably expect that the man who
told it had been putting something into
his mouth to the damage of his brains;
but the following from a Fall River cor
respondent carries its explanation with
it. 1t seems that gentleman in Provi-
dence, happened to be called into his cell
lar late one night.
The wind was blowing almost gale,
the rain poured down in torrents and
the night was one to cause a feeling of
uncertainty" in the heart of the
bravest.
The gentleman in question never in
dulges in Intoxicating liquors, and there
is no reason to suppose that his nerves
were unusually disturbed. He is very
fond of CLANS. however, and had a peck
of the shell-fish in the cellar, which were
to be cooked the next day.
AS he descended the stairs, shading
the lamp with his hand to shield it from
the draught, he saw the bucket of CLANS
at the foot of the stairs. Then he was
amazed to see what appeared to be a
small white clam move gradually from
the bucket, make its way quickly across
the cellar floor, and mount the wall at
the further side of the cellar to dis
lance of three feet from the floor.
Never having seen clam walk be-
fore, the gentleman was seriously dis
turbed. He placed the lamp in con-
venient position, took up piece OF bar
rel-hoop rs means of offence, and
moved quickly and softly across the Gel
lar floor.
The white object proved to be indeed
clam, but it had used other m, of
locomotion than its own. An indisereet
mouse had walked over the bucket and
this ambitious clam had fastened its
nippers on the mouse's tail The mouse,
frightened, had started for his hole in
the wall, but failed to get into it on ac-
count of the shell-fish attachment to his
tail. OF course the gentleman relieved
the mouse of his encumbrance-and
was probably somewhat relieved him
self.

Patented Articles.

The most valuable and money max
ing patents are those which are OBJ
tanned upon small articles. The ''re-
turn ball. which sells for ten cents,
yields to the holder of the patent an in
come equal to that on capital of five
hundred thousand dollars. The rubber
tip on the end of lead pencils. which is
used for erasing false marks. is also Sc
cured by patent, and for every tip used
the manufacturers pay royalty to the
inventor, which gives him an independ-
ent income. The consumption of these
pencils Is very great, and the simple
idea of tipping them with rubber has
placed the man who originated it be-
yond the reach of need in the future, so
long as he clings to his patent. An
other very simple but very valuable in
vention is the gummed paper wrappers,
which obviate the necessity of using
mucilage or paste to secure papers for
the mails. The patent is on the appli-
cation OF the gum to the wrappers, and
royalty is paidto the inventor of eve
ry wrapper thus prepared. As the num-
Der OF wrappers used daily in the for
warding of mails amounts to hundreds
of thousands, the income derived by the
inventor from his royalty will be seen to
be magnificent one. The gimlet-
pointed screw was patented in 1916. 1t
is familiar 70 everybody, and millions
have been realized from its manufac-
ture. yet so simple is the principle that
the wonder is that it was not thought
out and applied almost as far back rs
the age of iron. The patent shoe-tip,
now universally used in boys shoes,
has brought its inventor somewhere
about two millions of dollars. Proba-
bly, the most valuable patent in the toy
line ever taken out in any country is
that which secures the Plympton roller
skates to its holder. Skating on rollers
bears but faint resemblance to skating
on ice, but it is exhilarating sport, new
ertheless, and sprang at once into pop
ularity with the young of both sexes.
In Brazil and tropical countries where
ice is unknown and skating impossible,
except upon artificially frozen ponds,
the rollers were greeted as veritable
godsend, and Kinks with smooth earth
ern floors sprang up like magic. The
value of the patent on the roller skates
to its holder is estimated at over one
million dollars, and he expended over
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars in legal expenses alone to pre-
vent the patent from infringement in
England. The dancing negro, which
can be seen in any toy-shop, and which
is simply figure of Dinah or jun
DO balanced by wire, which is moved
rapidly up and down by system of
clock work in the box upon which it
dances, provides an income for its in
ventor of thirty thousand dollars year.
The common needle-threader, to be
found on sale at nearly every street cor
ner is worth ten thousand dollars q
year to the man who thought out the
problem which might easily have been
solved by boy of ten years, only twas
not. And these are but few of the
trifes which have enriched men.

Parasitic Growth OF Trees.

Mr.. VIM. Saunders, of Department
of Agriculture, communicates to the
agricultural columns of the National
Tribune, his prescription 10 destroy
parasitic growth on trees as follows;
"For the past twenty years have
used a mixture of lime and sulphur
as wash for the prevention and.de-
struction of tungoid growths on all
kinds of fruit trees, and with decd"
edly beneficial effects. 1t is now
well ascertained that many OF the
diseases of both vegetables and an
imals are due to fungoid growths,
and sulphur is the best known and
one OF the most potent antidotes for
the mycelium and sores Of mlcroscop'
ical fungi; and the most practical
mode of using it as an ingredient in
the ordinary lime wash, applied to
fences and external roughbwood work.
AS a sanitary auxiliary in cities, its
employment will become general as
its usefulness IN the prevention OF
zvmotic diseases becomes known. 1t
every fence, tree~box, outbuilding
or rough wooden structure in this
city had coating OF this wash, it
would greatly check the spread OF
malarial disorders. 1t is not costly
and the sulphur imparts additional
adhesive qualities to the mixture.
The wash is prepared by placing
halt bushel OF fresh burned lime
and eight pounds OF powdered sui
phur in a tight barrel, Stacking the
lime with nearly boiling water, the
mouth of the barrel being covered
with a cloth. W hen cool 1T is ready
for use as ordinary whitewasb.

three tablespoonful of seed for each
acre to be set in tobacco. Each
spoonful of seed should have square
rod OF land, so that a seed bed of
three square rods is required for each

method OF treating the seed is as fol-
lows: Select protected, sunny spot,
the south side of wood, if converts
ent, or southern slope, if possible,
near a brook, tor convenience in wa
tering. Cut off all weeds, grass, etc.,
close to the turf; pile up dry, WELL

thoroughly; clear off the Goals and
spade IN a quantlty OF manure about
four inches deep. lake in bone ma

SOW in a still, damp day, or water as
sown. Rake the bed slightly Il pre-
fer pressing it with fiat beard only),

always with tepid water. and never
while the hot sun is shining on them,
