A tieorgia t.:vl's Dilemma.

A Georgia girl &c ,erse]f into an awk.
ward predloament t. other day. She was
returning home from the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton, and the car beirg crowded she was
obliged to stand up until gentleman po-
litely offered her half OF
his seat. They soon be-
came agreeable companions and were chat
ting away very socially when the young
lady discovered that she had lost her pock-
etbook. She accused the gentleman OF
having picked her pocket. He smiled
sarcastically and asked her if he looked
like pickpocket. She thought he did.
He proposed to assist her in searching fol
the lost treasure, which she soon found on
her own person. The chop-fallen damsel
stammered out apologies for her rudeness.
The person she so grossly insulted was q
Methodist preacher on his way to q con-

Tn eParrot that Called Out s.Msrtar. -

Opposite the residence of Polls owner
there was some buildings in course of
erection, and the men at the top of the
scaffold we're in the habit of calling to
those below for such material as they want
ed, aMore brick, "More mortar, and SO

In a very short time Polly had these terms,
by heart, as we'll as the gruff tones in which
they were uttered. No sooner did the
Irish laborer relieve himself Of q lead than
the everlasting cry, More mortar!"' as
sailed his ears. He bore it with exemplary
patience till the mortar bsord at the top of
the scofold was piled, but again the order
for "mortar-more mortar!" was given.
Then, to the delight of the parrots master.

his hod, and making speaking trumpet of

Lights THAT Ride the Waves in Violent
Gales and Tossing Waters.

ffOm Jue IrOVlOence Journal
The illuminated buoy is wonderful in
vention. Imagine an enormous lamp riding
the waves. The buoy is compact wrought
iron vessel, which serves as receiver of
compressed gas. The duration of the
flame depends upon the size of the buoy
Some in use in Europe have been made to
burn thirty days and some enc hundred and
twenty days. 1t is said that buoy Of suf-
ticient siz5 will contain gas enough to fur
nish the light for one year. During that
time the Aame is steady and constant night
and day, requiring no attentis whatever
after once put in operation. The lantern
attached to the buoy admits cir enough to
feed the flame, but not particle of waite,
can enter.
The most violent gales, the greatest force
OF the waves, submerging even beneath
them. has no effect upon this light. 1t
burns with undimmed brightness as long
as gas is in it's reservoir. The light, it is
said, can be thrown six or seven miles in
clear weather. Salty deposits are not made
on the glass OF the lantarns, as has been
demonstrated. The reilling of the buoy al
certain intervals is performed by tender
and requires but few minutes time. It
is done by passing the gas from store
holder. which contains the gas compressed
to ten atmospheres, by means of flexible
tube into the buoy to pressure of six at
mospheres.

Webster,s Love for the Old Home.

Among the various "reminiscences OF Dan
iel Webster, suggested by the centenary
of his birth, Jan. 18, is the following ex-
tract from Daniel Websters speech ct Sar-
atoga the following reference to the home
of his infancy, which has been pronounced
as beautiful specimen Of language as has
been written in the English tongue:
Il love to dwell on the tender recollec-
tions. the kindred ties. the early affections

Hog Cholera.

This disease is said to be quite preva-
lent in several counties in Miss ouri and
in few localities in Kansas, and it is
feared that it will spread and become
more destructive as the hogs increase in
flesh. In Randolph county, Mo-, it is
reported that the hogs are dying off at an
alarming rate, and the farmers are un-
able 20 check the disease. One farmer
reports that b e had q fine, large, fat hog
that ate with his usual appetite at dusk,
and in the morning it was dead. He lost
forty EIGHT head in this manner, with no
oTtunity of applying remedies after
an attack. It NAV be that the reported
losses are somewhat exaggerated, and

prise-the flag for which he had perllled
| his life lay there-where it had been care
lessly thrown over after it was hauled down.
| The young officer did not pause long to
| consider what to do, but quietly walked iI.-
| to the cabin, and, taking off his cap, bowed
very politely to the officers, and as he step
| ped towards the flag. said in q calm and

tain; US he aud his officers sprang upon
| their feet cstonished at the extraordinary
proceeding.
| II am an officer, sir, of the vessel which
is in yonder harbor, " said the young man,
who had now seized the flag, "and mean
| to carry this to my commodore"
AS he said this he bounded to the cabin
door, followed closely by q bullet from the
| captains pistol, and ere the alarm become
general, he stood upon the taffrail Of the
| vessel.
Look out for me below" he shouted,
| and flung himself into the sea without a
moments hesitation,
His boats crew recognized his voice;
he was caught in moment and dragged in
| to the boat, while a volley of pistol balls
was sent down at random by those who
| were above. The storm had now broken
and the wind began to come in with ftful
| and fierce gusts.
up with tie sail; be in hurry, lads,
| cried the young hero, as soon as he could
recover his breath after his ducking.
The crew promptly obeyed his orders,
and the next moment the little boat was
flying in towards the harbor
before the blast, like q glad
sea- bird, winging its way to its nest.
The enemy opened harmless random
fire of grape shot in their direction, but it
only served to tell the anxious watchers on
board their vessel that something had oc-
CURED, and they therefore at once showed
lights and enabled the boat to be kept
straight for her.
It was about half an hour after the gun
had been fred by the ship at sea that the
boat of the young adventurer rounded to
alongside of his own craft.
"Have you captured the fag?" cried the
young sonora, as Bennett bounded over the
side.
The only answer she received was the
banner wet as it was from the water and cut
into pieces by the balls which had been
fred at its captcr.
The light of the vessel beamed not half
so brightly as did the ladys eyes when she
caught the noble youth to her arms and
kissed him again and again.

Household Recipes.

New METHOD OF PREsERv1NG.-Beat
well together equal quantities of honey
and spring water; pour it into an earthen
jar; into this put freshly gathered plums,
or peaches, and cover close. This is
said to keep them as fresh the year
round as if just gathered from the tree.
When any Of the fruit is taken out, wash
it, and it is fit for immediate use.
RIPE TOMATOES may be
kept almost any length of time and
come out as fresh as when first picked
by preserving in pure vinegar diluted
with water-one gill of vinegar and two
of water. Pick when ripe, but not very
soft; leave the stems on, out do not
break the skin. Put into wood or stone,
and put the liquid on them cold. After
you get through putting them in, place
something on them to keep .Ioe,a under
the LIQUID, and take out as you may
wish to use them. Can use them as you
would tomatoes fresh from the vine.
This will not fail if your vinegar is pure
and diluted according to directions. 1t
is highly probable that cucumbers might
be preserved in the same way, selecting
those of medium size and leaving on the
stem.
CANNING GRAPEs.-Concords are best
for this purpose. Cook the pulps thor
oughly, strain in colander or sieve to re-
move seeds, then boil the pulp and skin
together one-half to three-quarters of an
hour, not less, adding sugar to taste. Use
ordinary stone jars, filling full; smear
the top of the jar with hot wax made of
equal parts of rosln and tallow; then
stretch over the top new cotton she eeting
tying around the jar about an inch or
two from the top with a cord wound
around several times; then cover the
and set in cool place: will keep until
the grapes should not be quite ripe.
A very pretty workbox can be made
of ia square box of cardboard. Line
it with blue satin, have the sides
covered with the same material, and
the lid and foundation of black
satin. The lid can be embroidered and
fitted with cushion. The cornfowers
are worked in satin stitch with blue silk
the stamen in knotted stitch with yellow,
and pointe russo with red. The calices,
| worked with green silk in satin stitch
are also strapped across with brown silk
The sprays, tendrils, and leaves arc
worked with olive and brown silks i1
overcast and satin stitch. The sewing
on the cover::of the lid is hidden by {
leaf-shaped ruching of satin ribbon. A
loop of blue satin ribbon is arranged un
der the lid for the purpose of raising it
/ P1cKELED PEAcHE.-Take six pound
of sugar to one quart of cider vinegar
boil the peaches in this (after runnin!
off the fur, or peeling them, (as yo'
perfer) until broom splint will nearly
pierce the skin; stick some cloves into
! the peaches before putting them int
the vinegar and scatter q handful o
stick cinnamon over them. ~
