One of the female members of the Saliva
ton Army now exhibiting at Lafayette,
has invented what she terms "Salvation
kiss" If she is really good looking, and has
a winning way, there is no doubt but that
she will convert every young man in the
place, but if she is as homely as some that
the writer has seen, she will drive every man
to drink that she succeeds in kissing.

Ponds in SaxOny.

In travelling through Saxony one is struck with the large number of ponds of all sizes which stud the fields in every direction. Whether these ponds are the result of accident or design, they are as carefully tended as are the fields themselves. They, too, are source of income to their owners. They teem with carp, tene h and other fish that will thrive in sluggish water, which are taken out in the fall and sold at prices ranging from 12 to 20 cents per pound. The ponds are then restocked with young brood which costs from 50 cents to $1. 25 per hundred, according to sze. These fish are left to shift for themselves until they are year old, when they are gener- ally large enough for the market. In winter the ponds yield crop of ice,
 which is readily disposed of at fair price. Where their services are not re- quired to turn mill, they at least serve as watering places for the cattle, and where they are situated near village or hamlet, they even feed the hand engine in case of fire. Where these ponds are made, the land taken for the purpose generally is unsuited for other purposes.

A Smart, Rlt.

About week ago writes Bradford, Qowa) correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, farmer living near here named John Mick, while feeding his horses late one evening, heard ri squealing as though his life depended up. on it. Upon investigation Mir. Mick found great grizzly fellow, apparently the ancestor of the whole tribe, busily engaged in rolling an egg from the nest to the edge of the manager. Anxious te see what he was going to do, Mir. Mick remained quiet and watched the pro- ceeding. What happened can be best told In Alr. Mick's own language: "The old fellow kept a-squallin' and a-rolline the egg at the same time, till finally h' got it to the cd ge of the manager; then al to onct he took that egg between hi forepaws and held it chock up under hi, chin and doubled himself up like bal and whopped himself clean over egg ant all, and fel. kerslap on his back on th' floor three feet below. There he sot ur sich squallin' that I thought sure tho old cuss had disclocated jint in hi back, and was jest goin' to end the ole chaps misery when loand behold two other rats appeared on the scene of ac tion; and I'll be blamed if them two rats didn't each take hold of hind leg of that old cuss, him a-holdin' on to the egg all the time, and holding it chock up under his chin, and drag him about thirty feet across the barn to their hole Then the old rascal let go of that egg and started it into the hole ahead o him and pushed it out of sight in jns about second. I always knowed rat! was purity smart, but them three puts it over anything I ever secd."
