CLAY and Buchanan.

Henry Clay used to take espe-
cial delight in annoying Buchanan,
who had, he believed, started the
report that he had made a bargain
with John Quincy Adams by which
he had secured the election of the
Massachusetts statesman as Presi-
dent, receiving in return the ap-
pointment of Secretary of State,
which had been up to that day a
stepping stone to the Presidency.
On one occasion as Mr.. Buchanan
was defending himself against the
charge of disloyalty during the
war of 1912, he having been Gan
old Federalist," to prove his loyalty
he stated that he entered a cOmpa-
ny of volunteers at the time the
British attacked Baltimore, or at
the time of the battle of North
Point and marched to Baltimore.
"True," he said, che was not in any
as the British had re-
treated before he got there"
Mr.. Clayton marched to Bal
timOre though?
Mr.. Buchanan-Yes.
Mr.. Clay.-Armedand equipped ?
Mr.. Buchanan-Yes, armed and
Mr.. Clay-But the British had
retreated when you arrived ?
Mr.. Buchanan-Yes.
Mr.. Clay-Will the Senator from
Pennsylvania be good enough to
inform us whether the British re.
treated in consequence of his val
antly marching to the relief of
Baltimore, or whether he marched
% the relief of Baltimore in conse-
Iuence of the British having al
'eady retreated9
The Senators and the occupants of
he galleries roared with laughter,
md Mr.. Buchanan, red with anger,
made no reply.

To Prevent Them from Fighting.

If two or more rams are kept to-
gether they are liable to fight first,
in the spring when freshly shorn,
second toward autumn. At this sea-
son, it is important to keep other
sheep at a distance.
If they are housed at night,
they may be put in a tolerably
small apartment by keeping thus
closely together they do not have
room to harm each other, and will
soon become sufficiently acquainted
so they can be driven to pasture
with but little fear of fighting.
Should there be one or more that
feel disposed to continue their com
bativeness, drive them to the barn,
procure a piece Of leather about
seven inches square-an old boot
top will answer-then with a sharp
knife cut it so as to form cap the
upper part of which is placed on
top of the head, between the horns;
then tie the two points on each
sidetogether, around the horns. \
little practice will enable one to fit
cap in this manner as nicely as a
shoemaker will fit a boot on a foot.
If necessary the cap can be drawn
tight to the nose by making holes,
and tying under the jaw. This cap
will entirely destroy the front view,
enabling him to travel about where
he chooses. This cap, when it is
properly adjusted, will stop the
at least it will so cOnfound
them that they cannot deliver eflec-

A Bell Five Hundred Years Old.

The city of Breslan lately cele-
brated the 500th anniversary of an
occurrence which was memorable
in the history of the town, and is
known wherever German poetry
finds a home. The bell which
hangs in the southern tower of st.
Mary Magdalen's church, and is
named "St. Mary's bell" but is usu-
ally known as "the poor sinners
bell, rang out morning and even
ing on the 18th of July to remind
all who heard it that it was cast
on that day 800 years ago. Next
day, Sunday, the preacher remind
ed his congregation of the pathetic
story which has made it singular
among bells-how, when all was
ready for the casting, the bell
founder withdrew for few mo-
ments, leaving a boy in charge of
the furnace, warning him not to
with the catch that secur-
ed the seethiDg metal in the cald-
ron. but the boy disregarded the
cautioS, an' then, terrified on see
ing the molten metal beginning to
flow into the mould, called to the
bell founder for help. Rushing in !
and seeing what he had intended
to be his masterpiece ruined, as he |
thought, angered to madness, he |
slew the boy on the spot. When |
the metal had cooled and the mould |
was opened, the bell was found to
be an exquisite work, perfect in
finish, and of marvellous sweetness |
Of tone. Coming to his senses, he !
recognized his bloody work, and |
straightway gave himself up to the |

lie, and he went to his doom while
his beautiful bell pealed an invita-
ton to all to prey for "the poor

in a ballad of touching simplicity; |

The man who stops an excellent
newspaper because it has not been
his good fortune to like the editor
is nearly as wise as the fellow who
refuses to buy his favorite fruit or
food because a grocer he ls angry
at sells 1t. At the same time the
man who stops his newspaper for
the reason we have named and
then reads his neighbours is no bet
ter than the one who refuses to
buy the food he likes from the hat
ed grocer but goes to his neighbours
yard at night time, when the moon
is withdrawn, and gathers it home
in a bag.

1t is desirable in keeping pigs
in orchards to have them in as
many lots as possible. This is es'
pecially true when sows with filters
of pigs constitute the stock. Nov
able pig pens, made so as to be
taken apart and put together again,
not only accomplish this object,
but enable the owner to thoroughly
fertilize different parts. After the
pigs have been kept under one
tree a week or so, remove them
and their pen to another. In this
way the thrift of both trees and
pigs is made certain. Only the
sows need be confined. The small
pigs may be given free range to
pick up fallen fruit until they grad
ually wean themselves.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
BETTER THAN MEDICINE.

There is no reason why every
housekeeper and cook should moi
have q knowledge of the chemistry
of cooking, and of the healthful
ness of different articles of food
At this particular season of the
year nature bountlful supplies us
with much that is cooling in the
way of vegetables, which are not
only delicious articles of food, but
are really health preserving, Tor
often a slight indispositiOn of chill
dren,or older persons can be readl-
~ cured by these culinary RENE
dies. Spinach has direct effect
upon complaints of the kidneys,
the common dandelions, used as
greens, is excellent for the same
trouble, asparagus purifies the
blood, celery acts admirably upon
the nervous system and is a cure for
rheumatism and neuralgia, toma-
toes act upon the liver, beets and
turnips are excellent appetizers,
lettuce and oucumbers are cooling
in their effects upon the system,
beans are very nutritious and
strengthening vegetable, while
onions, garlic, leeks, chives and
shallOts, all Of which are similar,
possess medical virtues ola marked
character, stimulating the circula-
tory system, and the consequent in
crease of the saliva and the gastric
juices promoting digestion. Red
onions are an excellent diuretic and
the white ones are recommended
eaten raw as remedy for insom-
mia. They are tonic and nutritious.
A soup made from onions is re-
garded by the French as an excel
lent restorative in debility of the
digestive organs. We might go
through the entire list and find
each vegetable possessing its es'
pecial mission of cure, and it will
be plain to every housekeeper that
a vegetable diet should be partly
adopted at this period of the year,
and will prove a great advantage
to the health of the family. With
vegetables as with everything else,
much depends upon the cooking
and the care and preparation be-
forehand. Washing in several wa
ters is absolutely necessary to pre-
pare nearly all kinds of green veg
etables for the table, and great care
must be given in examining spin
ach, lettuce, greens and cauliflow-
er, as often very minute insects are
lurking In or under the leaves of
these. 1t will be found good plan
to wash them in a weak salt and
water, after which they should be
put in ice water for few minutes
to prevent their becoming tough
and wilted.
