Wanted to Settle.

Among the passengers in a stage
coach. stopped one day last spring by
road-agents in Montana, was a Buffalo
man who was out there to look over
the ground with view of establishing
q clothing store. He was the last one
out of the coach, and as he was or
dered to hold up his hands, he called
out:
Shentlemen, like to shettle dis case
like an honest man.
keep your hands up!'
eff can't make an assignment to my
brudder Moses settle nit you for twen-
ty cents On der dollar"
"You shut up and shell out"' was the
stern command. 49,
"Shentlemens," continued the vic
tim, as he wriggled around. al hat

. Fuller, in his Small Fruit Cuxur-
;st, says: 81 do not believe that there
IS one acre of Strawberries in a thou
sand. cultivated in this country, that

fore planting"
If you are afraid your yeast cakes
are little stale, put one of them in
cup of warm water with good pinch
Of hops; let this stand for an hour or so
before using; it will have an excellent
effect on the yeast, and will insure good
bread.-lndianapolis Journal.
Lace or muslin drapery for the
windows add so much attraction to
room that it pays to have them if one
can afford it, and very pretty curtains
are now comparatively inexpensive
The scrim with strips of drawn work
are very durable, and if trimmed on the
edge with suitable lace an excellent
effect is produced.-M. y Post.
A small economy, but one not to be
despised. especially in large families, Is
to save bits of toilet soap when they
begin to waste. When q pint or even
half pint is collected, put ina bowl,
add boiling water and stir. Set away.
and, as it evaporates add little boiling
water and stir WELL; Do this. every
day till all the Jumps have disappeared.
Then add few drops Of oil Of CHINA
man or oil of cologne. Wet.a deep, mar.
row pan in cold water, pour in the soap
and leave it to mold. After two or
three days turn it out and leave to dry.
The result will be an acceptable toilet
soap.-Erchdnge. - '.'

A Cruel Joke.

A broad-shouldered man was walk
ing along Chatham street on Friday. He
looked as if he was in great pain.
whats the matter?" asked friend.
"Oh, I'm in terrible agony! Got a
boil as big as a watermelon on nv calf.
Can hardly walk. So longr' and the
proprietor of job comforter moved off.
As he did so another gentleman came
along and shook hands with his friend.
1--WE got the biggest joke of the sea-
son on =. There he goes up the street.
He was telling me how he was fright
ened by dog this morning Let's have
some fun!'
The new arrival was Gin for it,
You walk up behind him, grab him
by the leg and bark like dog. His
nerves are all unstrung, and wen have
big joke on him to see him jump"
"FH do it," said the other, land YOU
walk on the other side and see me scare
him to DEATH
The two parted to carry out the pro-
gramme. The latest arrival proceeded
after their mutual friend. Just as he
got close up behind leu he grabbed
him by the boil and playfully barked:
DOW. WOW, WOW, Just as naturally as
a dog-show.
The broad-shouldered man went up
in the air, while his face looked as if he
had suddenly swallowed tree full OF
persimmOns. When he came down he
reclted the alphabet backwards and then
pointed his toe thirteen distinct times at
his playful friend, slammed him up
against telepranh mole mashed his hot
over his eyes, and then walked away
looking as if he'd. like to put the leg
with the watermelon boil on over his
shoulder and carry it home.
After the dog had pulled himself
out of his hat be hunted up and down
Chatham street for the man who had put
the job up on him, but he couldn't find
him. for he was looking over the cornice
of q neighboring house and was burstin
with grins.-M Y World.

Il SERMON.


Bf HALLELUJAH S. tSELAH WATKINS, Phi. D.,
PODUNK, MASS.
My text, dear brethren, may be found
Somewhere in some old book; <.El .
The verse and chapter will appear
Whene'er you please to look;
You'll find il an old apothegm,
Though old It's not infirm).
Its subject are the "eariy bird"
Also the early worm"
The early bird, as you're aware, r4
While yet the sky was red, TT .tts
Scooped up the equal early worm
Just wriggling out of bed.
INTRODUCTORY.
This /" saw" YOU know. my listening friends,
To youth hath oft been taught,
And early rising was the gist
And moral of the thought.
utOther thoughts this g saw" conveys,
Which you will plainly see 2.
BY casting out all prejudice
And closely following me. ---.
FIRSTLY. q.
This saw" is double ofntcd saw
For, as you may descry,
One early riser rose to live,
The other rose to die.
FIRST AND A-HALFLY. -
Explanatory of Firstly.l
Our heroes both were On d par ~ b..
In getting out of bcd
But twas not healthy for them both,
The text hath plainly said.
~ SECONDLY. s o. = F=
One was a hungry. greedy chap,
Who early rose to steal;
The philanthropic worm arose
To give the bird meal. lit is SO supposed
tst THIRDLY. %
The early bird who scooped the worm
Has ever had the praise,
While early rising to the worm Eiss
Was rather a disgrace. So
MORAL REFLECTIONS THIRDLY"
The humble worm, though virtuous,
Is left clean out of sight:
We sing the praises of the bird
Because he had the might.
MORE REFLECTIONS.
And such is life-our sympathieS
Cos with the strong, : -
And il a man achieve success.
We kindly pardon wrong.
AND, FINALLY,
In summing up this deep discourse,
This motto is Inferred
That you may take the role of worm,
I'd rather be the bird.

A Mile q Minute on q Locomotive,

'sThink of man getting seasick from,
riding on a locomotive engine" said
Counselor Farley, who last week shot
down from Philadelphia to Atlantic
City at the rate of more than mile a
minute to reach the bedside of a dying
child. 'Seasickness' is, of course, not
the term to apply to the disorder, but
that expresses it.better than any other
name that l can think of. My ride
created the same feeling of wretched-
ness that a few hours on the ocean al.
ways gives me, only, instead of its be-
ing caused by the rolling of a vessel, it
was brought on by the pitching and
tossing of the locomotive.
81 received telegram telling me OF
my child s condition about two in the
afternoon. Every moment after that
second seemed an hour. realized how
extreme was the danger, for had been
up for several nights with the little one.
l engaged special conveyance at once.
There was nothing but the locomotive,
and sat in with the engineer. Dis
patches were sent ahead ordering all
regular trains to run for sidings and re-
main until the engine passed. Wewere
atOut minute getting out of the built
up part of Camden. Then we flew, but
no rate could be too fast for me. As
we rushed along, we enveloped ourselves
in a cloud of dust that was 50 thick at
times that l could not see half dozen
yards ahead. The whistle screamed a
note of warning almost every second.
Indeed, it seemed to me- excited mind
that it was all one wild shrek, extend
ing from the Delaware to the sea. After
we had gone few miles the engine be-
gan to pitch and toss, and as the speed
increased the motion grew more violent.
Now we seemed to drop into gulf,
then to rear into the air; and, again, rs
quick as thought, to be in the act of
leaping into u creek. The trees and
fields and houses were like a long,
black, waving streak. / began to feel
faint and dizzy. and if it had not been
for the rushing wind l fear must have
swooned in that terrible cab. The en-
gineer was perfectly cool. He after
ward declared that never before had he
gone at SO high a rate of speed for SO
great distance. l told him of my
feeling of sickness. Yes he said, I
have heard old railroad men tell how
passengers had been made seasick by
fast riding, but l never saw it before
When we struck the meadows and l got
Whit of salt air braced up bit, but
l felt queer and unsteady on my legs,
even after we had reached the station
and had alghted. l felt as if 1 had
just come in from a rough sea voyage
But l was in time. l once more saw
the light of my child's eyes, fading fast,
indeed. but still instinct with life, and
in that everything else was forgotten

The difficulty which all lovers Of fine
butter living in country towns often find
in supplying their want seems to show
that carelessness or untidiness somewhere
is the rule rather than the exception in
the home dairy. IT has been found that
this long keeping butter can be made
from sour as well as sweet cream. Those
who handle it have also observed that
summer butter, and especially that made
in late summer and early autumn, has the
best keeping qualities. Much care in the
winter feeding Of cows and in keeping
their stalls clean and we'll ventilated is re-
quired in order to get butter from stall
fed cows in any season, whether winter
or summer, which equals that from COWS
that run in pastures.
