To Initiate Black Walnut.

We copy the Country Gentleman's
answer to correspondent who asked
for information on the above subject:
The wood must be thoroughly dried
and warmed and then coated with liq-
uid composed OF one part by weight of
extract of walnut peel, dissolved in six
parts soft water by heating it to boiling,
and stirring. When half dry, the wood
is brushed with solution of one part
by weight of bichromate of potash in
five parts Of boiling water, and when
thoroughly dry, is rubbed and polished.
1t may sometimes give more satisfactory
results TO give two coats of the first
named liquid. The color thus applied
will penetrate the wood, and in the case
of some woods, as red beech, the imita-
ton is equal to the most beautiful spec
linens of real walnut.

BE OF COOP CHEER.-A man who ac-
quircs the habit of giving way to de-
preston is on the road to ruin. When
trouble comes upon him, instead of
rousing his energies to combat it, he
weakens his faculties, grows dull, his
judgement becomes obscure, and he
sinks in the slough of despair. And if
anybody pulls him out by main force
and places him safe on solid ground,
he stands there detected and discour-
aged, and is pretty sure to waste the
means of help which have been given
him. How different it is with the man
who takes u CHEEKY view of life even at
its worst, and faces every i'll with un-
yielding pluck! He may be swept away
by an overwhelming tide of misfortune,
but he bravely struggles for the shore,
and is ever ready to make the most of
the help that may be given him. A
cheerful, hopeful, courageous DISPOSE
ton is invaluable. and should be assid-
uously cultivated.

San francisco Chronicle

AT late hour the other night, from
certain signs about the cell of Joseph
Hussey, an old State Prison offender
in Alameda Jail for burglary, the
jailerS suspected that he was up to
some game, and made sudden descent
on his cell A thorough search was
made, but not a single suspicious cir
cumstance was ascertained. 1t then
occurred to the jailers that they would
make an inspection of the outside of
the cell. Here their search was re-
wardcd, for under the window of
Hussey's cell they found an immense
quantity of woman's hair, partly plat
ed into a small cord ond connected
with the cell by a single hair line. 1t
is quite evident that some woman with
a tender spot in her heart for the pris-
oner, has sacrificed her hair in an en-
deavor to assist him to escape. The
hair is black, immense in quantity
and the tresses over three feet long.

confined to the Post, but was extended
to all the papers, it being under the
auspices Ct the printers union. Those

meat with a half-lugubrious air, and
then taking down his coat, he said

gave him a hearty cheer, and the

A Feathery Story.
Peorla TranscrIpt.

PeOrla transcript.
A physician in this city was called
in some time ago to attend an elderly
German lady in the lower portion of
the city. On arriving at the domicile
in question he found out that none of
the family spoke English. As he had
no knowledge of German, the matter
was somewhat complicated. He ascer-
tanned that the disease from which the
old lady was suffering was erysipelas,
and proceeded by signs'to indicate the
treatment He took feather, dipped
it in milk and applied it to the lady's
face, or which the disease had appear
ed. He then made signs indicating
that this was to be repeatedly follow
ed. Knowing nothing about the prop
er medical treatment for erysipelas,
we cannot say why this was done, but
supposed it was to reduce inflammation.
The doctor departed, satisfied his in
structions would be carried out. Re
turning next day, he met German
woman at the door who could speak a
little English, and asking her if his
directions had been understood. ITO
be sure they were Do you take me for
a geesel' she responded. The doctor
entered and approached the bedside,
but at first was unable to distinguish
his patient Nothing but mass of fluff
and feathers met his gaze, and moth
ing could be heard but the heavy
breathing of his patient. The people
bad misunderstood his signal, as to
applying milk with feather repeated
ly, and had construed it to mean more
feathers We're to be put on, and the
patients face was plastered with
feathers and milk from the forehead
to the chin, sticking up like a ducks
back in gale of wind The doctor

Mourning for Her Pet Snake.
Hartford Courant.

One day this week. lady residing
on Chapel street, in New Haven, saw
on going into her gerden behind the
house, a snake about four feet long
coming toward her. She screamed
and ran, thus attracting the attention
OF gentleman passing, who killed
the reptile. 1t was a beautiful crea-
ture, and a person who saw it said
that it was of rare variety. While
they we're wondering how the serpent
could have reached 50 thickly a settled
part Of the city, and be found so far
from the woods and fields, the wife of
a German physician, who lives around
the corner from the ladys house,
came up, and enquired in tones of
great solicitude if any one had seen
her pet snake. and when she discoy-
cred its dead body she was loud in her
manifestations of grief and anger.
She, however. became more resigned,
and carefully gathering the remains
in her arms, she walked away, lament
ing and talking to the dear one, now
dead, in a cooling manner and calling
it loving names
