The Dude and the Photographer.

"Now, / say, mistah artist, wish to
have the pictshaw taken in rathaw a
languid pose. wish to be taken as
look while taking my aftahnoon siesta,
with sort of satisfied air in my atti-
tude and an expwashion of contempla-
ton on my countenance, you knaw. To
my mind that kind of a pictshaw has
a certain recherche appearance that is
very taking with the fair creatchaws Of
the opposite sex to whom l am very
parshall." This was said to certain
well known photographer a few days
ago, by washy-eyed young man, very
flashily attired, straggly straw-cOlOred
moustache, a powdered face, and pan
falcons so tight that he had the appear
ance of the living skeleton seen in the
sideshows. The young fellow was po-
litely shown into side room to arrange
his toilet, and the artist returned to
where the Leader man sat. lI
THAT'S dude" said the artist, with
q contemptuous smile. "He's one OF
my regular customers, and scarcely q
week passes that he does not visit me
and have his photo taken in different
pose each time. am of the opinion
that some of his lady acquaintance are
having a great deal of sport with him,
for every time he comes he describes
the posture he wishes to assume, and
adds that it has been suggested to him
by his numerous lady friends. You can
readily see from his appearance that he
takes anything but an attractive picture,
and no lady with even ordinary sense
could admire them, so they must be
making game of him, and the poor, ig-
norant fool has not sense enough to see
1t. Oh, no! he will not be ready for
more than half an hour, and can talk
here at least that length of time. He
will stay in there and primp with more
care than the most famous society belle
In the country would do"
care there many of themp" was
breathlessly asked.
''Thank goodness, no! Not many in
this city. There are, perhaps, four or
five that come here, and they cause me
more trouble than their custom is worth
but have to stand it. At first it was a
diversion for me; but it has lost that
interest now. Heaven knows what they
will do with all their photographs, :"
continued the artist as he showed rustic
scene back of where the subject was to
sit, '"for hardly week passes that one
or two of them do not get from half
to q dozen apiece. Some of their lady
friends will certainly have an interest
ing collection after while. Sh-h; here
he comes; now watch him. ~ Cleveland

The Young Man Who Showed OF.

The orner day young man about
twenty years of age, accompanied by a
girl two or three years younger, reached
the city by Bay City train, and after
looking around for few hours returned
to the depot and bought some sand
witches for lunch. The fellow was heard
Dragging good deal as to what he had
done and could do and cities he had
visited, and by and by he walked up to
the depot policeman and handed him
four tive-cent cigars and said:
That's my girl in there"
"She just thinks her eyes of me-"
"SOp"
'Tve never had a chance to show her
how I'd die for her If necessary, and it
seems to me we might put up a little job
right here"
'sHowp"
"Well suppose me and her walk out
to see the river. l leave her for a mo-
ment. Some chap comes along and be-
gins to chin her. rush back and knock
him into the middle of next week. She'd
want to marry mo within week. Girls

"Well, you help me. You pick out
some chap around here and tell him
what I'm up to, and won't mind stand

Five minutes later the girl stood on
the wharf alone. A fellow big enough

feet of the pair he cried out:
"Villian! take your leave or I'll toss
you into the river!"
"Oh. l guess not" carelessly replied
the other.
''Base scoundrel! am here to rescue
this young girl from your clutches!''
'Don't bust any buttons of, my young

The young man made a dash. He
had to or wilt. He rushed at the big
chap with his arm appraised and heroism
in his eye, and the next minute he was
picked up and tossed over among a lot
of green hides as carefully as if he had
been glass. Then the big man raised
his cap to the girl, smiled sweetly as he
bowed and scraped his foot, and he was
out of sight before the young man re-
covered sufficiently to call out:

Paid In His Own Coin.

A good story Is going about the clubs
concerning New York millionaire who
owns a big stock-farm in New Jersey.
He has put in force strict rules about
the admittance of curiOsity-seekers, and
If one happens to go in he is soon
hustled off. The other day neighbor-
ing farmer called on business. He had
never been on the place before, and en-
tering at q gate he found open, was
strolling around looking for the super
iptendent, when the owner, who hap
pened to be there, encountered him.
Supposing him to be merely an idler or
prying person he asked him what he
was doing there. The farmer, taken
aback by such an address, replied:
Nothing" The owner said: "Do you
know at which gate you came IMP" II
do" said the farmer. "Well, then"
said the owner, "get out there as soon
as you cam" and the farmer walked
out. Shortly after the superintendent
came up and inquired if neighbor So
and-so had been there. He was the only
one anywhere about who had timber
they wanted very much, and they want

come that morning to see about the sale

supposing him to be one of these stray
glers cleared him out Where does he
live? will drive ever and sec him.
OFF he started Mt once. Reaching the
farmhouse he drove in, and, seeing
him, began an apology, but was cut
short by the farmer, who inquired il he
knew at which gate he came in. He
said he did. Then" said the farmer.
II want you to get out as quick as you
can," and the owner of the stock farm
was obliged to depart.-N. Y Tribune.

"A member of an aristocratic New
York club has been caught picking the
pockets of his fellow members. His
method was to enter the dressing-room
and abstract valuables left in coats hang

of cigarettes to which he was addicted.
The cigarette, 1t seems, has its uses.

More and Better Food.

Prof d. d. Slade, OF Harvard University,
argues In the June AgricuituriSt that stock
should have more and better food. He
says;
Deprivng stock Of necessary food is un-
doubtsdly the result ofignorance or thought
lessness, rather than wlful cruelty. haye
known instances where cows, not in milk
and young stock, have been kept during
the winter months in a co nditon bordering
upon starYation, and that too, by individ-
uals not waniisg in moral and intellectual
qualities. II such persons would employ a
small amount Of reasoning power, they
would see that such policy was not for
their pecuniary advantage. 1t isa well as
ceriained fact taat. if young animals,
especially young neat stock, are allowed to
lose strength from want of proper nutrition
at any time, il requires so long period for
them to recover, that the loss by such
treatment far outweighs any slight gain
obtained by the difference in the amount OF
food saved. Fortunately the humane laws
passed IN most Of our States may serve to
remind the careless aud Indifferent OF their
duties towards the brute creation.
BY Providing for the cimfort Of our
domestic animals, by giving proper food,
shelter, and protection, and opportunity
Tor exercise in the open air and sunshine,
we best iortily them against disease. TlN
diseases to which they are subject under the
above Circumstances are comparatively few,
and with the exception Of certsin con
tagiuus affections, are amenablo to proper
treatment. Great progress has been made
by the diffusion ofuseiul knowledge through
means Of the press, by the establishment Of
veterinary colleges, and the agricultural
schools. 1t is only by the greater diffusion of
know ledge that we can hope to overcome
the credulity which entrusis such vast
pecuniary interests as are involved in the
treatment Of disease, to unskillful, ignorant
chariataEs.

The Sweet Potato.

Not may years ago the suprly Of sweet
polutues ior Northern consumption came So
generally from Southern locali les, that
they were frequently called Carolina Pola
toes" For long time it was supposed that
New jersey was the northern limit of their
successful cultivation, but Of late years they
have been grown in many other Northern
States. There are two essentials in raising
sweet potatoes at the North a very light,
snndy soil, aud good supply Of decomp, sed
manure. The manure shuu Id be deposited
on the surface Of the ground, in rows and
strips about three and half feet apart from
center to center. Thea ~iih n pillow turn
lurruws over this manure from each side,
to form ridges, as high rs the soil cuu be
thrown with the plow. The ridges aic
finished by the use Of the hoe, and til,
plants set on the tops Of the ridges every
8 or 20 inches. The plants generally hay,
several leaves, with roots at the bottom. In
setting, use "a common plas,erer's trowcl,
thrusting it Into the soil, aud moving II
back and forth until nn opening is made
deep euough To admit the plant down TO th,

holes, I'LL them with water, aud when that

late rosl Kill that part Of the plant which
shows above ground, a new growth will
start from below. The plants are slow IN
starting, but afterwards grow very rapidly.
The ridges must be kept clear Of weeds un
