Keen Accounts.

A great many farmers go to the gro
Gerry or dry goods store and buy goods on
ing # to the honesty Of the dealer. These
people find, when they go to settle up,
that the bill is larger than they expected.
Accounts run up faster than we think, if
we do not keep track we forget so many
little items that make large sum in a
short time. I call to mind an old farmer
who did not keep accounts. I worked
for him once, drawing logs for man by
the load; neither kept account of the
number of loads drawn, and the account
is unsettled yet! think we should
teach our boys and girls as soon as old
enough to keep account of what is bought
for them, or let them attend to the eggs
and poultry sold, and they will soon
learn to keep accounts for themselves.

SAN Francisco, CAL-The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following
marvel. Capt. w. F. SWasey, the oldest
pioneer of the coast, makes a statement
of the intense suffering of his friend,
Colonel D. J. Williamson, an Army Off
Ger of distinction, and an Ex-U. S. Consul,
who was attacked in the winter of 1861 2
with violent rheumatism. So great was
his agony in after years he became a
helpless cripple, and after trying num-
berless remedies, the baths of other
countries and spending a fortune of
$4,000, the disease seemed to assume a
more virulent type. Finally he was
persuaded to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great
conqueror of pain. It worked miracle
of cure. In letter to the Chronicle he
confirms Capt. Swasey's statement and
adds: 81 cheerfully give my unqualified
attestation to the truthfulness of the
statement, because feel perfectly GER
tain that knowledge of my cure by st.
Jacobs Oil will prove the means of reliev-
ing hundreds of sufferers"

EVAPORATION of New Guinea.

"In connection with the Waltham
Watch Company, it may be stated that
when the proprietors of The Age desired
to present Mr.. G. E. Morrison (the ex-
plorer of New Guinea) with a reliable
chronometer, acting upon the advice OF
Mr.. r. L. j. Ellery, the Government
Astronomer, two " altham watches were,
however, procured for Mr.. Morrison in
stead. These were kept at the Melbourne
Observatory for a fortnight, and thor
oughly and carefully tested, and were
pronounced by Mr.. Ellery, at the end Of
that time, to be better suited for Mr..
Morrison's requirements than any chro-
nOmeter." -Extracts from Melbourne Age.

THE INN OF THE BRASS BULL.
A Kitchen Hearth on Which Fire HassBeen

A Kitchen Hearth on Which Fire HassBeen
Kept Alive Century.
Hartford Courant.
The old inn known as the "Brass Bull, !"
at Thompson, was burned last week. 1t
was the oldest house in Windham coun-
ty, large, WoOden-cOlOred edifce of the
"lean-to" period, which greatly antedated
the Revolution, having been built in
1910. Over the door was miniature
bull of old-fashioned hammered brass,
which was also swallowed up in the
flames. In the days of the then great
New Y ork, Hartford and Boston turnpike
it was a change station for the stage
horses, and when the stage route van
ished at the approach of the railroads it
feebly held its own as summer resort.
It had little diamond window panes,
wide freplaces, and outer doors cut in
halves, after the original New England
style, which suffered the lower part of
the door to be used as a breastWork
against the onslaught of Indians. From
its situation, on the apex of Washington
Heights, charming bird's-eye view In
the different States of Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, and even across Connecti-
cut to the blue line made on the southern
horizon by Long Island, in New York
State was to be gained.
The most famous of local traditions
have sprung from this old house. It was
cut up In all sorts and numbers of odd
shaped rooms, and the fire on the kitchen
hearth burned for more than one hun
dred years. In fact, this was the source
of the old buildings ruin, for the con
tinuaI heating of the stone work In the
great chimney charred the oaken floor
timber above, until finally the flames
burst out and consumed the structure
For 152 years it was used as hostelry
and it was the occasion of Gen. Washing
toms soiourn at the Brass Bull" that led
the portly proprietor to dub the hill
whereon it stood Washington Heights.

Money that Dustmen Earn.



The French papers, by the way, pub
lish curious statistical table, one of the
most striking items of which seems to
me the gains of the dustman. Your
lucky dustman makes from G100 to G150
year, which is pretty well, considering
that his education for his special trade is
not of an Inexpensive kind, and that he
is not obliged to keep up an appearance
in the daylight at least. Even the car
riage he drives is not at his own expense.
These gains are partly accounted for by
annual sales of the refuse articles found
in the cutters and bins. The sale of
these ofscourings of social and domestic
use realizes the prodigious annual figures
of 81 100000 This is divided among the
scavengers: should like to know what
our dustmen earn. They are rather
fonder of picking my pocket than picking
up problematical treasures, or, in fact,
anything else out of my dustbin. I may
write and may storm through many a
hot Summers day, but the cook still
looks out, and "she only saith, he cometh
not" Perhaps in Paris the prospect of
picking 81, $4,000 out of the uHsaYory
mass makes the dustmen more regular
in their attention.

Last in Bed Blows Out the Light.

OOtEOlG rE6O EESSSs
Old Uncle Ploughgit and his wife were
holding a sort of love feast the other
night recoUnting old times. AS the wor-
thy couple slowly prepared to retire they
went over the days gone by in a highly
entertaining manner.
"Do you know, 'Riah, I feel jest as
young as I ever did," said Uncle Plough
git, exuberantly.
$50 do I, Enoch," sprily responded
Aunt 'Riah.
Then thought suddenly occurred to
Uncle Ploughgit, and wheeling on his
heel he cried out:
'Last in bed blows out the light" and
made a plunge for his side of the couch.
His wife, though taken by surprise, was
nothing behind him in sprightliness, and
their aged heads met about the middle
of the bed with startling thump. Aunt
'Riah doubled up on the floor, and old
Uncle Ploughgit, rubbing the top of his
head, muttered, ''What two burned fools
we be, anyhow"

"Reminiscences of a King of the Stage.
San Francisco Argonaut.

A "Reminiscences of King of the Stage.
San Francisco AIgonaut.
On one night during the war, Forrest
was In Washington. The play was
"Richelieu." President Lincoln, accom-
panied by Forney, Seward, and several
prominent members of the administers
ton, was seated in private box on the
left of the stage. In political opinions
Forrest was directly opposed to them.
When in the grand apostrophe to the
''pen," Mr.. Forrest rose, sOlemnly and
deliberately, facing the Presidents box.
With the pen held majestically aloft, his
eyes flashing fire, the tones of that won
derfuI voice vibrated through the thea
ter, and speaking with unusual delibera-
ton and emphasis he gave such a rem
dering of BulWer's lines as must have
astOnished the President:
Beneath the rule of man entirely great
The pen is mtghtier than the sword,
Take away the sword.
States can be saved with it,"
He looked the whole party squarely in
the face, as much as to say, "And that's
my personal opinion, too" The shot
hit the mark. There issued some whis-
pered remarks between Forney and Lin
coin, and deprecatory shake of the
head on the part of the latter, accompan-
led by a dubious elevation of the eye
brows, as much as to say, "Well, I never
heard of that passage read in that way
before"
