The Man Who Swallowed a Spoon.

The waiter Geniscain who swallowed
the spoon four months ago in Paris and
on whom DR.. Felicet performed the
operation of gastrotomy, is dead. The
operation, as we stated at the time, was
most successful. The spoon was taken
out and the opening in the stomach
stitched up ae ain with silver wire. He
was put on a rigorous diet of rum and
soup, and was favorably progressing
toward what was confidently expected
would prove a complete recovery. Tn
happily. however, some three weeks
ago he was seized with violent craving
for more solid food, and. profitinp By
the absence Of the person who was
placed in charge OF him. he managed to
ct hold of loaf of bread and a large
piece of cheese, which he ate greediiy.
As was to be expected inflammation
speedily declared itself. the suture came
undone. and the wound reopened. it
was stitched up again; but after little
time peritonitis supervened, and he died
on Sunday last at the hospital OF St
outs. Isl. James Gazehs

and suitable. Any lasting timber, such
as cedar, chestnut, white oak or black
ash, makes good rails for wood fence,
and when properly laid, with stakes and
wire support, makes a ve'y efficient
and lasting fence against all domestic
animals. The oh. ection that it occupies
too much space is true where land is
used for cultivation exclusively, but not
when used for pasturage. The corners
are quite liable to become filed with
briers and foul weeds, but the thorough
farmer will find time to destroy all such
unsightly and wasteful growth.
The common post and board fence
has at least the merit of neatness when
new and in pc feet repair. but it is the
most expensive fence the farmer builds
conside ing its lacks of durability
from ten to fifteenyears being about he
lifetime of such structures. On moist
soils the posts will be lifted by frosts
from year to year till the fence will
stand on legs and be twisted by the
winds, the boards torn off, and other
wise disfgured. Other styles of board
fence are constructed either in panels
for movable purposes. or stayed on the
surface by different devices, but none
of them have come into common use
on the farm. Barbed wire will be but
little used when other material is con-
venient. On the western prairies, for
fencing against cattle only, it has con-
siderable merit. Cor. N. = Tribune

The Popular Plan.

One can not only buy everything
from a cook-stoye to coffin on the
weekly or monthly payment plan, but
Detroiter has applied the principle to a
still higher object. A certain young
gentleman interviewed him the other
day in regard to the hand of his daugh-
ter, and the father heard him out and
replied:
"Wel, if Mary is willing and shall
not object, / intend to give her $4,000
as dowry."
What noble and generous father!"
gasped the young man.
{. But / shall adopt the instal.ment
plan,'' continued the father; s'instead
of giving her the sum in lump ! shall
pay three dollars per week for sixty
four years. That viii not only prevent
her from speculation and loss, but

General Ignatieff's Home.

The Reuae Diplonaatique describes
General Ignatieff's home close to the
Winter Palace in St. Petersburg as
beautiful residence. It is fronted by
four somber columns, which give it a
mournful air, but when the portals
are passed the interior is charming.
The Minister himself occupies only two
rooms, in one of which he receives his
guests, while the other is a library or
den, where his real work is done. The
reception room is veritable museum
of eastern curiosities. Japanese stuffs
and curtains, and hangings from China
in all sorts of fantastic patterns are
scattered about. There are Turkish
sofas and Persian chairs, while articles
of vertu lie about in picturesque con-
fusion. One sees the tastes of man
who has passed his life in the East. The
workshop contains collection of his
torical arms, unique Of their kind; each
piece has tradition, and each is marked
BY rich and curious workmanship; all
have been given him at one time or
another by their owners. One sees the
pistols of the last sovereign Prince of
Albania, long poniard of Schamyl,
and a gem richly chased presented by
the Sultan Abdul Aziz.
