MARK 'ENEtaknta Wny

The Rev. j. Tyltt Smith relates the
following anecdote of Mark Twain
When | was living with my brother in
Buffalo, Mark Twain occupied Il cottage
across the street. We didn't see very
much of him, but one morning as we were
enjoying our cigars on the verandah after
breakfast we saw Mark come to his door
in his dressing-gown and slippers and
look over at us. He stood at his door and
smoked for a minute, as if making up his
mind about something, and at last opened
his gate and come lounging across the
street.
There was an occupied rocl1ing-chair On
the verandah, and when my brother offered
it to him he dropped into it with a sigh of
relief. He smoked for few moments,
and said, "Nice morning" ayes, very
pleasant" shouldn't wonder if we had
rain by-and-bye." "Wel, we could stand
little" This is nice house you have
here" eyes, we rather like it." "How's
your family :" "QEite well-and yoursg"
ooh, we're all comfortable" There was
IN impression silence, and finally Mark
crossed his legs blew a puff of smoke in
TO the air, and in his lazy drawl remarked /:
al suppose you're little surprised to see
me over here so early. Fact is, hayn't
been SO neighborly, perhaps, as l ought
to be. We must mend that state of
things But this morning l came over
because l thought you may be interested
in knowing that your roof is on fire. IL
struck me that it would be a good idea if''
But at the mention of fire the whole
family busted up stairs, trailing language
all the way up. When we had put the
fire out and had returned to the verandah
Mark wasn't there.

WaSpS.

A wasp's nest was discovered in a coun-
try church. After alittle while the wasps
were discovered also. The minister was
proceeding leisurely to "ifthly," when
the wasps concluded that they had bet
ter attend to business and begin mis-
sionary work among the congregation.
They sailed forth in twos and threcs for
the sake of mutual reinforcement, and it
is safe TO gay that some expressions were
made use of during the next half hour
which would not stand the test of the
strictest piety. Bald heads were especial
ly ut discount, and when an enthusiastic
wasp lighted thereon and proceeded to the
performance of his duty the stnccato
tones Of sudden anger broke on the still
and solemn air rand horny hand hit the
bald spot as though it would knock the
whole head off,
For little while there was something
like a regular camp meeting revival in
that building Moody and Sankey's songs
were nowhere. There were hysteric shouts
and wild hurlying to and fro and dancing
Up and down the aisles, untilthe minister
shouted, in the language of the Mikado,
Here's Il pretty how de do" Just then
II wasp made his personal acquaintance,
and he Immediately shut the Bible and
made a remark. 1t was proven beyond a
u doubt that religion, though fitting
every other emergency in life, is entirely
inadequate when wasp applies his bust
ness end to human epidermis.

The First Wheat.

Duaterra was the first who actually
reared a crop of wheat in New Zealand.
On leaving Port Jackson the second time,
to return home, he took with him guam
tity of it, and much astonished his ac-
quaintances by informing them that this
was the very substance of which the Euro
peans made biscuits, such as they hal seen
and eaten on board their ships. He gave
a portion of wheat to six chiefs, and also
to some of his own common men, and d.
rected them all how to SOW it, reserving
some for himself and his uncle, Shungie,
who was a very great chicf-his dominion
extending from the cast to the west side OF
New Zealand All the persons to whom
Duaterra had given the wheat-seed put it
into the ground, and it grew well; but be-
fore it was well ripe many of them grew
impatient for the produce; and as they
expected to find The grain at the roots of
the stems, similar to their potatoes, they
examined the roots, and finding there was
no wheat under the ground they pulled it all
up and burned it, excepting Shungie. The
chiefs ridiculed Duaterra much about the
wheat, and told him that because he had
been great traveller, he thought he
could easily impose upon their credulity
DH IlIlt SlOIttS, ttIltl NlSSd NO'AN' Law
convince them that wheat would make
bread. His own and Shungie's crops in
time came to perfection, and were reaped
and threshed; and though the natives
were much astonisbed TO find that the
grain was produced at the top and not at
the bottom of the stem, yet they could not
be persuaded that bread could be made
out of it.
The missionaries afterwards sent Qua
terra IL steel mill to grind his wheat, gift
which he received with 10 little JOY. lie
soon set to work, and ground some wheat
before his countrymen, who danced and
shouted for joy when they saw the meal
! He then made cake, baked it i'll frying
pan, and gave it to the people to eat,
which fully satisfied them that he had
before told them the truth, and raised his
reputation higher than ever. The other
chiefs now begged for seed and reared it
carefully. So the experiment fully snc-
ceeded, and wheat was introduced into
| New Zealand.

SleepleNsness.

The best natural cure Of sleeplessness
saws DR. Oswald in Home and Farm, is out
door exercise. but even where circum-
stances should require artificial remedies,
we should avoid narcotic drugs, which in
duce morbid lethargy, followed by a
state of protracted nervous exhaustion.
A far better plan is suggested by the cir
cumstance that insomnia is caused by a
distension of the cerebral bloodVessels
Anything that will divert the blood from
the head toward the eXtremities has, there
fore, tendency TO induce slumber, and u
simple specific for sleeplessness is Dr.
Caldwells receipt of warming the feet (by
friction, extra wrappers, etc., and cooling
the head, either in Il cold draught or with
cold water or ice. For the same reason
the accidental removal of bed-clothing
from the lower eXtremities is therefore
apt TO awaken sleeper, while repletion
(by drawing the blood from the head to
the digestive organs) begets drowsiuess.
One of my friends, who has for years been
subject to fits of asthmatic sleeplessness,
has learned TO palliate the distress of his
vigils by leaving his bed on the first sus-
picious symptom of a relapse, light n fire
and sit in the chimney corner reading
and eating by turns till the demon in
Inmates desire TO depart,

The matter of agitating the building
of town hall has been revived since
the posting of the town meeting war
rant, an article having been inserted
therein to see if the town will vote to
sell its interest in the NJ. Il. Church.
This matter has been preached from
time to time by various citizens and
there has been some talk of getting
the ideas of voters ut the approaching
March meeting. Many towns in this
State have erected u building large
enough for q hall, town offices, lookup
and all town uses, and in addition
some have added several stores OF
course the plan of such building
could be.alapted to the needs of the
town if it should be deemed advisable
to engage in such an enterprise, and it
is matter that demands careful con-
sideration. Ii anything is to he done,
the matter should be put into the
hands of committee representing the
solid and substantial business interests
of the town, and instructing it to in.
vestigate the probable cost of suit
able structure, and the income which
could be derived from it, and after OBJ
tanning all the information possible, to

The Burlington Carnival has been
postponed for one week. The people
there aud at Sherbrooke should learn
not to put their trust in ice, any more
than in riches. While wealth often
takes to itself wings, and fees away,
metaphorically, ice, even when put up
in the shape of palaces, is liable to
melt, when the warm sunshine com
eth, and disappear when the rain fall
eth. There is nothing reliable and en-

charged by dealers in that slippery

Clean Hands.

A scientific authority says that it is per
fectly impossible TO get the hands clean
that "after the most diligent Washings
and brushings with soap and water and
Iinsing with carbolic acid and other disin-
fectants, the hands remain so impure that
upon touching the fingers to sterilizcd
E9latine nicro-organisms are suddenly
developed" Many persons apparently
have been aware of this fact for a long
time, and, having become discouraged in
the eadeayOr TO keep their hands clean,
abandoned the job in despair years ago.

If the scene witnessed by many per-
sons Gro sing the fiat last Wednesday
morning is of frequent occurrence, no
further cause is necessary for the Or
ganization of a society for the proven
ton ofcruelty to animals in this place.
The case in question was simply that
of an overloaded team on the slippery
streets, poorly shod, and a driver with
scarcely head enough to row boat,
and skill to use wheelbarrow. True
it is he exhibited great thoughtfulness
and economy in utilizing the major
part of his load in belaboring his
horses, thereby saving the cost of
whips and goads. For the sake of the
animals it is to be hoped that such
men are rare, and when one is found
II dose of his own medicine would be
highly beneficial. WITNESS.
