Death is not terrible to all. Thus, Hong An Duck, Chinese murderer at San Rafael, California, anticipated his hanging with the utmost satisfaction. He implored the judge to fix an early day for the execution, be- kevine that after death he would be in pur- gatory for period of not less than one year nor more than twenty, during which period he would be able to return to the earth and torment his enemies This doctrine caused him to look forward with so much pleasure to his death that he attempted suicide, and when taken to the seaffold literally jumped for joy.

The California Grocer says that almond culture is taking.;a prominent place among the productive industries of that State. Four varieties are grown. viz-, the soft shell, standard. hard shell and the paper shell. The crop of 1881 was 300, 900 pounds, about half of which was used to supply the home trade and the balance shipped East. The year 1882 being an of bearing year, the last crop is but 200, ,0oo pounds, the most of which will be required for the home trade. The capacity of production is stated to be almost unlimited and growers are finding the crop so profitable that they are rapidly extending their orchards, and it is predicted that in ten years, time the entire United States can be supplied from the California product.
 The pastors of Gloversville, New York, have united in an address to the people, con- demning the practice, which they regret to see becoming more and more prevalent, of church members attending theatrical shows given by professional companies. While we do not regard these exhibitions as all equally objectionable, they say, i've yet consider it almost impossible to discriminate, and the only safe course is to avoid even the appearance of evil We have at times been surprised and pained by the alarming and amazing disregard of the claims and solemn responsibilities of the Christian profession.
 One evidence of this is the fact that many oi

Skill with the Pistol.

An old gentleman was talking with a
New York reporter about the recent
rifle match, and recalling the time
when he used to catch up pistol and
shoot through key-holes and knot-holes
without trouble. You never saw Record
er Hackett shoot, did you,?" said he
"Well, he was a great pistol shot. Men
used to hold up pennies between their
fingers for him to knock. out His
daughter was accustomed to stand with
lemon ON her head, and her father
would pierce it every time. Mr.. Horace
Clark, a member of the Vanderbilt
family, who was staying at the house,
once held the lemon as target for Mr..
Hackctt. One day Hackett and some
friends were down on Long Island at a
club house, and Hackett was amusing
himself by shooting twigs off the trees.
His father sat little way off reading
newspaper and smoking cigar. Now
said Hackett, see me knock the ashes
off his cigar He fred and the ball
whizzed between the paper and the
cigar. The old man grumbled but sat
rigid. Another shot knocked the ashes
clean off. This made the old gentle
man disturbed, and he called out: 'Oh,
John; stop your fooling, can't you 7"

Origin of Hip, Zip, Hurrah I"

Very few people who cry "Hip, hip,
hurrah !" with such gusto know any
thing about the origin of the words,
says Tribune writer, During the
times of Crusader the chivalry Of Eu-
rope was reused to arms by the inflam
matory appeals of Peter the Hermit,
who always displayed banner embls-
zcned with the following letters, III.
i. P.,,' the initials of the Latin words
Hierosolynaa est perdita, or Jerusalem
is destroyed. The people who were
not acquainted with Latin pronounced
the letters as word-Hep, and when
ever they CHANGED to meet poor Jew
they raised the cry, '1Iep, hep, hurrah!'
and the chances were greatly in favor
of the Jews feeling the point of their
swords.

A Sleeping Car Incident.

The passengers in the sleeping car
had retired some half hour, and were
Just going into their first maps, when
the voice of woman was heard above
the noise of the cars and the rattle of
the tempest.
''How the wind blows !" it exclaim-
ed.
Every passenger heard the voice and
gave snort of dissatisfaction. Just
as every body got half asleep again
came the plant
"How the wind blows!'
Again the snorts of displeasure were
heard. All was quiet for perhaps ten
minutes. Then third time the mo-
notonous remark
"How the wind blows !" ...
An elderly gentleman in one Of the
centre berths stuck his head through
the drapery of his couch and courteous.
ly remarked:
"My dear madam, we are all nnder
obligations to you for your metorologi.
cal observations, but did you ever know
of a wind that didn't blow?'
A suppressed cachinnation meander
ed through the Car, and then all was
quiet.

Needles.

A company has been formed in Uti-
ca for making common or hand-sewing
needles by machinery. The needle
making machine proposed to be used
was invented by Eugene Fontaine, the
inventor of the celebrated locomotive
bearing his name, and which has made
the fastest time ever yet made by 10.
comotive. Mr.. Fontaine is also the in
ventor and maker of the most rapid
and best pin-making and pin-sticking
machinery ever made. The needles to
supply the world are made at Ridditch,
Birmingham, and at Hathersage, Der
byshire, in England, AK la Chapelle,
and its suburb, Borcette, in Germany,
tidditch and Borcette are the principal
sources of supply. AT Ridditch about
fourteen thousand persons are engag
ed in making needles and the product
is estimated to be about two hundred
millions per week, or ten thousand mil
lions per year. OF these it is estimated
that the United States take little more
than one-tenth.

Smiths Cider Apple.

IL is a very remarkable fact tn at
though Pennsylvania has native apples
OF superior quality in every respect,
most OF the kinds grown in our orchards
are varieties that have obtained name
in other localities and are not near as
good as many of the states seedlings.
Another curious point is that when by
dint or sheer travelling from farm to
farm first class variety is grown gen
orally in the state, it seldom becomes
known to any great extent anywhere
else. We have heard this attributed
to jealousy on the part of fruit pro-
pagators in other states, but this is
nonsense. A fruit grower wants the
best, and so that it is the best it makes
no difference to him whether it Genes
from New York, Pennsylvania or Tim
buctoo
Smiths cider apple is one of those
domesticated fruits which has develop
ed very little disposition to 60 abroad.
1t is very little met with elsewhere, and
yet it is one no Pennsylvania who
knows what's what would willingly be
without 1t cannot be tremed first-rate
in quality, and yet it is considered to
be fully equal to the widely known and
widely grown Rhode Island Greening
and Baldwin, and will beat either Of
them in productiveness. 1t never makes
very large tree, and requires good
land and occasional top dressing or
manuring in some way in order to get
fruit of the very best quality but then
1t bears every year, and there is no al
ternate resting year about it. 1t is a
good keeper, and serves as we'll for the
table as for cooking purposes. Why
1T was ever called cider apple is in
comprehensive, as it has no claims TO
that distinction. OF course it will, but
there is nothing 50 prominently cider
ish about this as to entitle it to the dis
tinctive name.
A prominent Pennsylvania nursery
man tells us that he sells in the state
perhaps hundred of Smiths cider ap-
pie for one of any other kind, while
orders outside the state rarely mention
it. He observed that in one sense he
was sorry for this great demand for it,
as it was a slower growth. Any other
three would make as good a growth in
three years that Smiths cider would
in four but the people were beginning
to know this, and Smiths Cider was
not expected to be as large as Falla,
water, Northern Spy, or other strong
growing kinds. We are quite sure that
when our distant friends get better ac-
quainted with this Pennsylv ania
Seeding their regard for it will in
crease.--GermaistO,on Telegraph.

Be Economical.

Look carefully to your expenditures.
No matter what comes in, if more goes
out, you will always be poor. The
art is not in making money, but in the
keeping of it little expenses, like
mice in barn, when they are many
make good waste. Hair bv hair the
head gets bald, straw by straw the
thatoh goes off the cottage and drop
by drop the rain comes in the cham
Der. A barrel is soon empty if the
tap leaks but drop minute. When
you mean to save, begin with your
mouth many Chieves pass down the
red lane. The ale jug is great waste.
In all other things keep within com
pass. Never stretch your legs further
than the blankets will reach, or you
will soon take cold In clothes, choose
suitable and lasting stuff, and not taw-
dry fiueries. To be warm is the main
thing never mind looks. A fool may
make money, but it takes wise man
to spend it. Remember it is easier to
build two chimneYs than to keep one
going.

Combining Different Folders,

1t is customary on many farms to feed
cattle entirely on one kind ofhay, such
as clover, for instance, until that is gone
and then begin on another kind. In
case clover alone is fed the animals re.
ceive a much larger amount of proteine
or albuminoids than their system re-
quires. and consequently the excess is
thrown off in the manure and wasted.
If, insted of feeding on clover entirely,
portion of straw, poor hay, such as
that grown on wet meadows, or corn
stalks, were mixed with it, the cattle
might be maintained in equally as good
condition at less cost, some of the
poorer kinds of fodder being made to
take the place of the clover. This
point is well illustrated by an expert
ment made at Moeckern in Germany
-Four cows were fed during a period of
several weeks with all the green clover
they will eat, amounting TO one hun
dred and twenty three pounds per day,
containing five and six-tenths pounds
of carbohydrates. During another
period they were fed with eighty-seven
pounds of green clover and six and
seven-tenths of barley straw daily, con.
tanning three and eight tenths pounds
OF albuminoids and seventeen and eight
tenths pounds of carbohydrates. The
result was that COWS, while fed with
the clover and straw, gave as much
milk, which was as rich in butter and
caseine as they did when fed on clover
only, The cost of the milk when
the cows were fed On clover alone
was so pei cent, more than when fed or
the clover and straw mixture Here
was saving of about one third in the cost
of the milk SIMPLY by combining raw
and green clover instead of feeding
clover alone. When the clover alone
was fed there were nearly two pounds
of albuminoids per day fed to eacl
COW more than was needed, and
this was wasted, thus Increasing the
cost of the milk, albuminoids being
the most costly elements of the food
No farmer can feed proftably when
such waste of fodder is taking place

That Matter of Etiquette.


When Thackeray visited America,
he spoke humorously of many of our
national peculiarities. 81 saw, said
the satirist, "6ve Americans at time
with their knives down their throats. |
said to my daughter, MY dear your
great grandmother, the finest old lady
| ever knew, applied cold steel to her
victuals, but wish FIVE at time
wouldn't" Etiquette differs In coun.
tries. Even in America there is great
variety Of customs in the various States
In New York, lady always bows first |;
in Washington and in the exclusive
circles of Virginia, where men feel Sc
cure in their position in society, the
gentleman does not wait for any rec
ognition on the part of the lady. A
French custom is very popular just
now, and demands that mutual recog.
milton should be instantaneous. There
is also an unsettled question as to which
arm should be given the lady, the right
or the left A large majority declare
in favor of the former, considering the
latter too tender by far. Such distinc-
tions must be declared too fine by the
majority who cling to the old tradition,
that the right arm should be free for
defence. Such a demand need seldom
be made, however, in these peaceable,
non-dueling days, beyond an occasional
setting aside of an intruder, who may
presume too far on crossing sidewalk
A gentleman should always precede
lady going upstairs and allow her to
precede him going down for obvious
reasons. Washington DEGREES that the
lady takes precedence always, the gen.
tleman following close behind to pro-
tect her from misadventure. The Sc
we're comment concerning those ladies
who forget to thank the gentleman
who yields seat 10 them in the street
car has caused some rushing to the
other extreme, and now etiquette steps
forward and says smile is sufficient.
In matter of introduction in England,
simply Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Smith, is ad
missible, but in America all the official
dignity of the person must be brought
to bear. Hon. Gov. Blank, and even
has it been carried to the absurd extent
Of naming the profession or calling in
full. But woman should never call
herself by her husbands title, as this
arrogates to herself borrowed lustre
which borders closely on the ridiculous.
Nor should lady sign her husbands
name to any communication of her
own, except one written to an inferior.
To send a note to a personal friend
over the signature Mrs. John Smith,
