Dutch Table Customs.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican finds the Dutch table Gus
toms very droll, as Diedrich Knicker-
booker did before her. She dined with
the family of Il Professor at the Hague.
AS soon as those at the table were help
ed they cut up all that was on their
plates. and then putting their knives
down, leaned on the table with their
left hands, and with their forks dis
posed of the food with celebrity and
without interruption. At supper the
hostess ground and cooked the coffee
at the table, and the butter was taken
with individual knives out of an earthen
pot. Cheese was served and secured
in similar manner, and was smeared
over thick slices of buttered bread.
When the eating was finished, every
body sat still and watched the hostess
wash the dishes, which she did at the
table, using the snowiest of napkins,
without wetting finger, while the
master puffed cigar.

An Opossunn Farm.

Thomas Chancey has started novel
business at Hawkinsville. He has
gone into the 'possum business on an
extensive scale and proposes to raise
these much-sought varmints for the
market. His ranch is located about o
mile from town and is inclosed with
wire fencing This was done in order
to keep Calvin Brown from trailing
them off into the swamps with his pack
of hounds. He has commenced with
ten, but will greatly increase the num-
Der during the year. AS the average
piney woods 'possum finds ready sale
at forty cents apiece q fine, fat, stall
fed 'possum would of course bring
double that amount, and 500 ut eighty
cents apiece amounts to 500, which is
nothing to be laughed at.-,Sa0annah

He Got a Wedding Garment.

A few yonrs ago man living within
half Il dozen miles Of Lewiston, Me-,
was about to be married, but the state
of his finances preciuded the purchase
of new suit of clothes for the occasion,
SO he resorted to diplomacy. He went
to n clothing store. and selecting an
appropriate suit, told the proprietor
that he would like to take them home,
and if his family liked them he would
pay for them. The proprietor agreed
to this proposal. The man returned
the next morning, radiant and bland,
saying that his folks did not like the
clothes, and thought he had better not
keep them. The groom had, however,
been the best dressed man at the we'd
ding. =.

very careful, and got ready for the
Journey. At the last moment he came

Uses for Sawdust.

When urged to burn, or in some
other way dispose of their sawdust,
.lumbermen have objected that they
could.n0t afford the cost. There is
hope that the perplexing problem of
dealing with this nuisance may now be
solved, for a process has now been dis
covered by which the refuse sawdust
may be made to yield a handsome
profit. When dry it is carbonized in
iron retorts, and, in the process, there
is given off 80 per cent of volatile pro-
ducts, the remaining 20 per cent being
granulatcd charcoal, which can be used
in making gunpowder, filters, lining
refrigeratOrs, and as disinfectant, and
mixed with little tar it could be press
ed into bricks and used for fuel; 20 of
the 80 per cent of the volatile product
is in the form of fixed gases, which can
be used for heating, lighting, ETC.; AZ
per cent is pyroligenous acid, which is
crude acetic acid, and after being puri-
fed and concentrated, is used in white
lead, color, paint and vinegar manu-
factories. The sawdust from yellow
pine and other wood rich in resin yields
also a considerable amount of tnrpen-
tine, in the gathering of which so many
trees are every year sacrificed. 1t is
estimated that in saving inch boards
of pine, hemlock, ETC., the one-fourth
saw-kerf uses one-ffth of the log.
When lumber is sawed by the billion
feet one can easily see that the question
Of disposing of the sawdust in way
to,yield profit instead of a 6rst-class
nuisance is very important one.

where a western Man Got a wife.

A Western builder, reputed to be
worth over 800, 900, who always visits
one of the clerks in Castle Garden when
he comes to New York, that gentleman
being one of his friends, called there a
short time ago just as Miss Bertha
Heinz, a beautiful and vivacious blonde
from Hamburg, landed on American
soil. The lady was taken by the frank
countenance and cordial manner of the
builder, who is a widower, and inquir-
ed of him in German: "Can you tell
me, sir, where girls go to secure en-
ployment?'' A conversation ensued,
the result of which was that the build
er procured a situation for the young
lady as a goyerness in family in Tar
rytown. On his part it was case OF
love at first sight, but he took the pre-
caution to conceal his feelings until he
had satisfied himself by careful inquiry
that the girl was respectable and worthy
to become his bride. 1t came out that
the young woman was person of re-
finement and education, who was forced
to earn her own living because unlucky
speculations had ruined her father, and
sickness, which followed, had sent him
to the grave. The result, says the New
York Mail and Express, was the mar
rage OF the happy pair, and trip to
the Western home of the groom.

send you pure specimen of crushing
contemptuous scorn.
In our lunatic asylum at s. we
had, a few years ago, as medical super
intendent and general manager, a
pompous, self-sufficient old doctor with
a very gushing manner and great obse-
quiousness to any visitor whom he
might deem worth cultivating. It was
more than suspected that this paternal
and benevolent manner did not always
characterize his intercourse with the
patients, but was donned only on state
occasions.
He had several hobbies, and would
bore visitor dreadfully with his over
done poiteness and unceasing stream
of talk about the institution, and his
wonderful management thereof.
On one occasion, after having been
trotted all over the building by him to
my great disgust, As I had called on
business, and my time was precious.

apartments, and on opening door dis

and there was no occasion whatever for
the doctor to disturb her. He spoke to
her, however, in his blandest way, no
doubt with view of properly impress

are we this morning!'
She did not reply, but continued hef
sad and touching gaze.
He repeated the question. and added.
