Ir is estimated that the surplus

the year ending June 80 will be-
81, cocoon almost double that Of
the last fiscal year. II is expected
that the experiment Of two-ccnt
postage will not create u deficit
even during the first year Of It's
adoption. If this should prove to
be- the case, the New York Sun
thinks IL will not be any more

Let the birthday of each member of
the family be always remembered when
it comes. Let there be something a
little out of the ordinary routine in the
arrangement of the table; cookies fash
Toned as Johnny likes them best; one
of Franks favorite plum buildings, or
Julia's special liking, a loaf of ginger
cake, or a wonderful lemon pie, such
as only mamma can make. Then there
must be presents. Sometimes people
may think they cannot be afforded; but
reflect. The little one needs shoes,
dresses, aprons and many other things.
Purchase one or more for the birthday.
1t will seem just as much a present to
the recipients as though they were not
obliged to have it.
Next come school-books and story
books, a set of furs or a pair of skates,
SHOULD the birthday occur in the win
ter, a pretty little dinner-basket, or, if
the parents a afford it. a little gold
band for one of the white fingers, a
necklace, a watch with a shining chain,
or the pony that has been wished for so
long. Encourage the little ones in CIV
ing TO each other, and also remember
father and mothers birthday; believe
me, 1t will be bread cast Oh the waters;
the days will only be a few ere some re-
turns, and there will be a never-failing
supply of pleasure as long as you and
your children live.
The Penn's Grove record., 1883-11-03

A resident of McLeansborough, ILL.,,
writes as follows: AT the back end of
my store and just outside of a window
is a box in which we mix dough to feed
the chicks. One morning when |
shaved myself l took my mirror, etc.,
to the window so | could have a good
sight. just as / finished my work l
noticed an old bluejay drop down ON
the box and begin eating the dough
from the pan of chick feed. As l was
on the opposite side of the glass it did
not see me. | looked at it for a mo-
ment and then ''for fun,o turned the
mirror around SO the glass would face
the bird, 1t vas lust taking a mouth
full of dough as it looked up and saw,
as it supposed, another jay with its
mouthful also. 1t seemed greatly as
tonished and failed to swallow its food
for some time, but soon did so, and in
~bluejay-style s'bowed,' as much as to
say ''good-mornlng, SIR" AS a matter
of course, the glass made the other jay
bird bow also, and the next salutation
was 'tkechunkl kechunkl' / suppose
that is jay language, but do not UNDER
stand it. Then it proceeded to fill its
mouth full of dough again, and its sha-
dow did the same. This seemed to
anger it very much, and after giving
one blue-jay war whoop it flew against
the glass. Its astonished look at the
result of its attack IA laughable. The
first thing it did was to retreat to the
further side of the box and from there
eye the antagonist. After gazing for
some time its hunger overcame it and
it took another mouthful, ''as did its
shadow" The jaystopped with mouth
full, turned its head first n way and
then the other, and finally hoped
around the glass and stood face to face
to me. Our faces were not more than
six inches apart, and l never expect to
see a more astonished look than was in
its eye Just then. But one look W; 9
enough; and after another big jay yell

Take Me Home.

The other day a prominent citizen of
Detroit, who has been greatly interested
in the subject of fre-escapes, was in
speeding a building on East Woodbridge
street which had just been equipped
with balconies and ladders, and he
summed up his opinion with.
'.Well, sir, there's no earthly need of
an accident here in a $ of fire. All
any employe has to do Is to coolly step
from a window to one of the balconies
and descend in perfect safety"
At / O'Clock Saturday afternoon this
same citizen was in the same building
when some rags took fire on the fourth
floor, a smudge arose, and an alarm
was sounded for the steamers.
s'Firei firel" was echoed through the
building, and the employees rushed for
the stairs like frightened sheep.
The eminent citizen lost his legs as
soon as he heard the cry-ran twice
around the room without seeing the
open door, and finally brought up at a
window. The sash was hung on
weights, and yet he pushed, pulled and
tugged in vain, and finally lowered the
top sash and climbed over. As he de-
scended to the second balcony he left
one coat-tail ON a nail, broke his watch
chain, and took a tumble which landed
him on his back, and he was there,
yelling '~'trel'' when the engines came
up. He had to be helped through a
window and down stairs, and when a
heartless wretch in the crowd asked
him how long he had %praeticed the
Escaping" business, he replied:
"None o. your business, sir! Driver,
take me hOme.n

The Native Wine crop,

Reports from the wine growing dis
trlcts OF California are very discourage
ing, and from present indications this
seasons wine crop ON the Pacific slope
will prove a failure. This disccuraging
possibility Is attributed mainly to the
ravages OF the p~hyioxera, which by some
es yet unaccountabie means has been in
troduced INTO California vineyards.
While our native wine crop promises SO
poorly, that OF France lis reported AS
most excellent-in fact, surprising any
vintage of that country since 1858. The
disaster to the vines of California is
greatly to be depl red, especially at this
time, when consumers were leaning to
apprecia' e the wines of native growth,
which are, al a rule, far superior to the
average much-aduiteroted imported
wines.
