A young lady of shoddy attachments, whose father had just struck bonanza, !, was visiting some friends in the city last week. During her visit she. with others, visited the shot tower, and was invited to view the city from the top of the structure.

Sir Dayid BreWster's Cat.

Margaret Maria Gordon, writing from
Nice to the Home Chronicle, says:
my father, Sir David Brewster, had a
strong dislike to cats; he said that he felt
something like an electric shock when one
entered the room. Living in an old
mouse ridden house, was at last obliged
to set up q cat, but on the express condi.
ton that it never was to be seen in his
study.
II was sitting with him one day, and
pussy pushed it open. and, with most
assured air, walked right up to the philos-
opher. jumped upon his knee, put paw
on one shoulder and paw upon the other
and then composedly kissed him. Utterly
thunderstruck at the creatures audacity,
my father ended by being so delighted
that he quite forgot to have an electric
shock. He took pussy into his closest
affections, feeding and tending her as if
she were child.
lone morning, some years afterward,
no pussy appeared at breakfast tor cream
and fish no pussy at dinner. and, in fact,
months passed on and still no pussy. We
could hear nothing OF our pet, and we
were both inconsolable.
ABOUT two years atterward, | was
again sitting with my father, when. strange
to say, exactlv the same set of circum-
stances happened. The door was pushed

Curing Glover Hay.

When properly cut and dried. no bay is
more palatable and valuable than this. 1t
is of the utmost importance to cut it at the
right time, and that is just after 1t comes
in full blossom. If we wait till the flow
ers have turned brown, they will break
off in harvesting, and the stalks will be
quite tough and woody. Cut when just in
flower, we save the blossoms and the most
volatile and sweetest parts OF the plant,
and the hay retains its bright green color
all winter.
Every good housekeeper knows that
herbs retain their most valuable proper
ties only when dried in the shade. Apply
this to the curing of clover. AS soon as it
is cut and only slightly wilted. put into
small cocks, say from three to four feet
wide at the base. and proportionately
high. Tribune and Farmer.

such as white and red clover.
Buck wheat is often sown too early. when
too early, the hot sun is apt to blast the
flowers. In some parts of New England
it is sown early in June, even before corn
is planted. It is best To SOW this early IN
sections where there is danger OF frosty
nights early in the fall, as slight frost
often destroyes the crop, but it is usually
not sown until July. We must endeavor
to steer between the two dangers, blast
ing of the flowers in the summer, when
sown early; and the destruction OF
the crop by frost in the fall when sown
late. II succeeds well sown on clover or

and richness of the milk. :,
The amount of seed per acre is governed
by the strength and condition Of the soil.
On poor lumpy land one busbel per acre
should be used; on strong mellow SOIL
from half bushel to three pecks will be
sufficient. Tribune and Farmer.

How an Oyster Builds Its Shell.

In building its shell the oyster starts
with the hinge end, at the spot known
to.conchologists as the umbo. A small
plate or single scale now represents each
valve, and that Is the first seasons
growth. The next season new growth
or plate shoots out from underneath the
first one, just Is the shingles do. The
oystermen call these laps or plates,
'sshoots, and they claim that the mum.
Der Of shoots indicates the years Of the
oyster. They certainly do contain q
record Of the seasons, showing the slow
growing and fast growing seasons. But
there ID often great difficulty IN diferen-
tiating these shoots. The record is often
obliterated in places by the growth Of
parasites, which build their shells or
tubes upon the oyster. I have ikened
these shoots to shingles. Now, at the
gable Of house these shingles may be
seen edgewise. So on the one side of an
oyster shell il series of lines. This il
the edgewise view OF the shoots or sea-
son growths. Another factor Is this
purple spot, or scar. in the interior Of
the shell. It is the place Of attachment
Of the abductor muscle. Its first place
Of attachment was close up to the hinge.
Had it staid there until the shell had
become adult, how difficult would be the
task of pulling the valves together the
leverage to be overcome would be 80
great; for We must bear In mind the
fact that at the hinge end the valves are
held by this black ligament, which il IN
life, elastic, swelling when the shell
opens and being compressed when the
animal draws the valves together. So
with every years growth or elongation
of Che shell the moIlusk moves the place
Of attachment Of the muscle onward,
that Is an advance further from the
hinge. AS II does so it covers up with
white nacre all the scars that are back
Of the one in actual use as the point Of
attachment Of the muscle. This you
can prove by eating Of with nitric acid
this covering, and thus exposing the
whole Life series Of scars or attach
ments.
