Mrs. limerick, a well-known flower
seller of Philadelphia, thinks that she
has good proof that she is a direct de-
scendant of John Nicholas limerick, an
East Indian trader who died years
ago, leaving millions of dollars; but,
like sensible woman, she prefers sell
ling flowers to investing any of her
money in an effort to secure this my
thical fortune. A society has been for

A pail of butter that four years ago
was accidentally dropped into cistern
in Palmyra, Mo-, was recovered the
other day. When the cover was re-
moved the butter seemed to be in per-
feet condition, sweet and firm, but in
few moments it was as strong as the
strongest boarding house butter in
history.

On closely examining light weight
silver dollar presented at the sub trea
sury in Boston, the other day, piece
of handiwork of high order was dis
out in the centre so as to allow the
placing within it of the photograph of
a child, while the face of the coin formed
a sort of cover, which was held in po
sition by hinges and a clasp. So fine
was the work that probably no one but
an expert could detectit. Itis thought
that the coin found its way to the
treasury by mistake.

in a peculiar manner William Jobes
of Bushville, Pa, was out hunting
woodchucks one day last week. He
shot one as it sat summing itself in the
mouth of its burrow The shot tum-
bled the animalover. Jobes picked up
what he supposed to be his dead game.
but the woodchuck was not yet dead.
1t grabbed the hunter by the hand and
sent its teeth into it until they met and
locked. Jobes tried to get the wood
animal died in that position, making
the lock still more closely set. Jobes
was obliged to walk three miles before
he came to a house, where the jaws of
the animal were cut and the hand re-
leased. The hand was frightfully lacer-
ated and swollen, and it will have to
be amputated at the wrist.

A Travelling Ton.

Here is something for the boys
a simple travelling top. The ingen
ious toy consists simply of perforat-
ed disk, which can be easily whitfield
out of "a piece of thin board, and
piece of strong cord of such length
that when the ends are tied together
1t will form a loop through which the
legs can be passed. AT opposite points
on the edge of the disk are cut two
small notches to receive the cord. The
performer passes his legs through the
loop, inserts the two lengths of cord
in the notches o. the disk and then
tightly twists up the cord. He now
let's go OF the disk, and suddenly
forces his legs apart. The untwisting
of the cord rapidly revolves the disk,
which will drop to the ground and
run away for fifty or one hundred
yards, according to the strength and
skill OF the manipulation.

Roots and Vegetables for swine.

The breeder OF improved swine is
expected to take better care of his
stock than the average farmer.
This, however, depends more on the
man than on the kind of stock he
owns The successful handler of
stock is always alive to the comfort
and health Of his animals. Such a
farmer or breeders will see that his
breeding stick is not confined to any
one article of diet the year round
There are men who claim that dry
corn and water are all the feed swine
need.
The evils which follow from exclusive
and heavy feeding of corn have led
some men to goto the opposite ex-
IRENE and claim that the breeding
stock should be kepl wholly on vege-
tables. A New Yorker Iells the public
how he wintered pigs on mangold
wnrtzsl only. Well, that illustrates
the wonderful powers of the swine to
adjnst itself to circumstances Mel
ther exclsiuve corn nor vegetable feed
ing is either more profitable or more
conducive to health

Sensible Crows.
Hartford Times.

A couple of tame crows, which have
been kept as q sort of household pets
by New Hartford amily, at length
became such mischievous nuisances
and thieves stealing every bright
and glisteniug thing they could
pouEce upon, including ladies' jewel
ry of all kinds, and hiding il in dis
taut trees, and once nearly making
off with gold watch-that it became
expedient to get rid of them. They
were taken (tied up in bag, so that
they couldn't see) to piece of woods
eight miles away, and there liberated
the wagon being driven off in an
other way. Next day one OF the
crows was back again, hunting about
the kitchen for food, and showing
every evidence of great satisfaction at
getting back, while the cook joyfully
welcomed him, and bis companion
wasn't long in returning, The first
returning wanderer was a knowing
fowl When a hard, dry piece Of
bread was given him he would take
it off to his basin of water, put it ia,
and let it soak little If, on taking
out, it was still hard, Mr..
Grow would put it back and
and with one foot hold it down under

would devour il very contentedIy. If
