Probably a Lie.

She came tripping in to the sanctum
all radiancy and sunshine, and clothed
in the garments of youth, beauty inno-
ence and other things, with smile
tina was "heaven in heap" She re-
marked:
SIS the editor in?"
He was, and the smile that radiates the
classic brow and spread over his features
like the ripening on a pumpkin, was
soothing to gaze upon.
He is" came from this side of the
great moral newspaper with original
poetry and patent medicine advertise
ments.
"l'm so glad of it," she said, and q
granler, sweeter smile radiated-spread
some more.
81 am he" he said, not CALAMITY, but
gloriously. "What can l do for you?"
At this we arose and bid her approach.
She did so, and said, 81 have returned
home; want personal in Every Mon
day." and she looked too sweetly inno-
cent. frank, pure innocence unknown
to the latter day sanctum.
This side made an effort and had soon
uttered an utterance which, as near as
we can remember, was: why, certainly,
with pleasure; what shall we say?"
She smiled some more. We dittoed.
She said: "Miss Mary Macintosh has
returned home after visit to friends in
Kansas City. And" continued she, add
anything good you can think of. You
know all about how to say, accomplished,
etc."
With this she vanished like summers
dream disturbed by gallinipers, and
wheE we recovered wrote:
THE readers of Every Monday will
rejoice to learn that Miss Mary Mac
cintosh has returned to her home in this
city after months pleasure tour through
Kansas City. Miss Mary is truly natures
queen; she is the goddess of love, purity
and womanly grace, large, roomy, well
ventilated and robust as buffalo. She
can do a bigger washing eat more onions
and mash more male palpitators in one
day than all the female Venuses in
Christendom. She is sumner, with
smile as broad as human sin, and a foot
as big as the base of the Rocky Noun
tains. She wears fine buds, silk stock
ings, brass buttons and chews gum in
Latin. Mary is some pumpkins, and

as matter of consequence, they all did.
This happened several years ago; and
now Rose has got a divorce from her
husband, and is so happy. BE smoked
too many cigars, and she couldn't stand

any length of time, as its good qualities
are more fully retained and it is less liza
BILE to discoloration. Oil of peppermint
is sometimes adulterated with turpen-
tine and sometimes with oil of hemlock.
Pure OIL of PEPPERMINT. as exported
from Wayne county. is coloriess and re-
sembles the English oil, except that its
odor and taste are somewhat less pun
gent and penetrating. The oil deterio-
rates with age, and the aroma becomes
more faint; after q certain number of
years it thickens, and the color becomes
of a yellowish tinge; exposed for time
to air, it becomes resinous.

Oil Of Peppermint.

Peppermint is grown for its essence
chiefly in western New York. Two
thirds of the supply comes from Wayne
county, which produces 60, 900 pounds
of oil yearly from 5000 acres. The har-
vest comes in August, and the first crop
is the best. The mint is cut with sickle,
scythe or moving machine, according to
the fancy of the cultivator. After cut
ting, it is allowed to wither in the sun
for five or six hours, and is then raked
into cocks" where it remains q short
time before being distilled. 1t is not
every cultivator that is provided with o
still, but stills are found distributed
about the peppermint region at conven-
lent distances. The apparatus and
method differ from those employed in
Europe, where the fire is applied to the
still. In America the still consists of q
wooden tub or vat of heavy slaves hoped
with iron. The withered mint is packed
into the vat by treading with the feet
until the vat is full, when cover, made
steam tight with rubber packing, is fast
ened down with screw clamps. A steam
pipe connects the lower part Of the vat
with steam cover, and another pipe
from the center of the cover connects the
vat with the condensing worm. The lat
ter varies in size according to the capac-
ity OF the still, and becomes progressive
ly smaller toward the outlet. The worm
is SO placed as to have o constant stream
of cold running water surrounding it.
The steam from the boiler being ad.
mittcd to the vat at pressure OF thirty
to forty pounds, the oil Of the mint is
volatilized and mixed with
the steam condensed in the worm. The
mixed oil and water are collected into
the receiver, where the difference in their
specific gravity causes them to separate.
No attempt is made to redistill the water
which separates, and considerable loss
of oil which 10 held in solution doubtless
results from this lack Of economy. The
oil is packed in tin cans or glass demi-
johns, holding about twenty pounds
each. The glass demijohns are much
the best when the oil 10 10 be kept for

E. T. Msrddox and Miss Ida Wayley
were married in the county judges office
ct the courthouse. The parties hail from
Ash Creek settlement. When applica-
ton was made for q marriage license it
was refused on account of the youthful
appearance Of the bride, but her father
and sisters being present and stating that
they were willing the license was issued,
the father making oath that his daughter
would be fifteen next month. Judge
Parham, Judge Harrison and Rev. Mr..
Priddy declined to perform the cere-
mony. whereupon Rev. g. w. Swofford
was called upon to make the man and
child husband and wife. Judge Parham
remarked that he would willingly marry
men and women, but when it came to
marrying babies he was out. The bride
is mere child. apparently ten or twelve
years old.-Hillsboro (Texas) Mirror.

Killing Cattle by Electricity.

In recent issue of the Zoophilist Mr..
Lane Fox describes an asily-constructed
apparatus for putting an end to worn
out horses, asses or even cattle used for
food, by the electric discharge. An or
binary stall has an iron plate fastened
upon its floor large enough for horse or
bullock to stand upon. With this plate
is connected the negative pole of an cleo
trical condenser, formed of alternate
layers of tinfoil and tissue paper, soaked
in paraffine. This condenser is charged
from an ordinary coil to its full capacity
of u hundred micro farads," and is to
be discharged at an electromotive force
of 10, 900 "volts," which produces q one
inch spark. The animal to be dispatched
has the top of its head and also its feet
and legs wet with salt water. 1t is then
the iron plate. Tie brass knob which
makes the positive pole, and mas an insu.
lating handle, is then applied to the FORE
head of the animal, which falls down
stone dead the moment the contact is eff
fected.
The London Telegraph, abiding to
the article in the Zoophilist, concludes
that there can be no kind of death more
free from pain as we'll as the horrid cir.
cumstances now attending the slaughter
of favorite animals when old age, acct
dent or disease renders it necessary to
kill. Everybody knows how sadly often
the pistol or knife, now in use, produces
lingering agcnies, and how shocking it
seems to commit an old servant to the
hands and clumsy methods of such as
too generally undertake the duty. Here
is plan which wilP obviate all this un-
pleasant experience and give to many .
faithful animal an easy euthanasia. II
we'll deserves to be put into practice and
to receive public encouragement. There
may be objections perchance to such .
mode of Strengthening animals intended
for human food, because of the effects
produced on the flesh by the electric
current; but possibly before capital pun
ishment is abolished death by Judicial
lightning in such fashion may be
adopted instead OF the hideous violence
Of the long drop. Certainly as project
for killing worn-out quadrupeds it sp-
pears as effective as it is kindly.
