The Latest Trick Out.

Railway Review.
"Here is the latest trick to beat us
poor conductors out of our fare" said
one of the fraternity the other day.
"While taking up tickets, l reached
a nicely dressed lady, who was look
ing apparently preoccupied, out OF
the open car window kidnapping her
pocketbook on the window edge. l
touched her shoulder to attract her
attention, when she jumped as though
shot, and dropped her pocketbook
out of the car window. She began to
cry, and what could / do? Pass her,
of course, which l did. noted the
place of the accident, stopped for the
pocketbook the next trip, and found
the contents to be postage stamp
and a card of hooks and eyes. / felt
pretty cheap then"

1t Was no Place for Him.

The degeneration of agricultural
fairs is aptly illustrated in the follow
ing from a Dakota paper.
"What class do you want to enter
your horse in ?" said the president of
the agricultural fair, as he met the
honest farmer at the gate.
"Enter my boss! amt got no
boss to enter nowhere"
"Don't want to put either of your
horses on the track ?"
"No, sir"
"Got a wheel-of-fortune or any
such thing you want to set up?"
"Naw."
"Then what are you driving in
with the the team and wagon for?"
"Why, I've got a pun'kin here
four feet high, and lot of big corn
and some of the best squashes in the
whole country, and there's a two
year-old steer tied behind that beats
anything you ever see, l know"
"That may all be, my friend, but
this is no place for you. If you've
got a horse that you want to put on
the track or any kind of confidence
game, you might come in; but as il
is, we have no room for you. Come
move on there, and give Colonel Toe
weight a chance to drive in. Go and
feed your garden truck to your big
steer"

The First Evils.

Beware of the first evils, for as sure
as you are living the first step taken
will make the second seem to become
necessary. The first drop will be
followed by bigger second, and the
second, at short interval, by a more
copious third, until the drops become
a shower, and the shower becomes a
deluge. The course of evil is ever
wider and deeper and more tumultu-
Gus. The little sins get in at the Win
dow and open the door for the big
house breakers. One Smooths the
path for the other. All sin has an
awful power of perpetuating and in
creasing itself. AS the prophet says
in his awful vision of the doleful
creatures that make their sport in
the desolate city, "none of them
shall want her mate. The wild beast
of the deserts shall meet with the
wild beasts of the islands," Every
sin tells upon character, and makes
the repetition of itself more and more
easy. None is barren among them "
And all sin is linked together in a
imy'tangle, like a field of seaweed,
so that the man once caught in its
oozy fingers is almost sure to drown.

Answering question frequently
asked as to how the nobility are adj
dressed by their intimates and fami-
lies, Adam Badeau says that in the
family the peer is generally addressed
by the name of the peerage. Thus
the duke of Argyll would probably be
called by his wife "Argyll," and the
eldest son is Familiarity addressed by
the second title, "Lorne." Even the
Prince of Wales is called by his broth
ers and sisters "Wales." The young
er children take the family name, not
that of the peerage. You say "Lord
Walter Campbell" not ''Lord Walter
Argyll. Apeer signs with the name
of his peerage-simply "Argyll,"
never adding his title. His wife
writes "Mary Argyll" The eldest
son signs "Lorne," not "John Cam
BELL" his real name. Indeed, the
eldest son of duke or earl seldom
hears his Christian name. Under
ordinary circumstances his wife
would write herself "Louise Lorne,'
but being princess, she drops al
family names, and signs "Louise p
or simply "Louise."

The steam saw-mill had just begun

A good many homes are only
boarding and lodging houses for the
several members of the family; and
places, therefore, to be loved not at
all, and valued only as temporary
physical conveniences. Yet in the
home the child is to learna language;
is to spend the fiexibleand susceptible
years of its life; is to drink in uncon-
sciously the influences which shall
follow him through all the later
years. The ideal home then will
have more books than plush; will
care more for pictures than for up
holstery; will have more music than
wine; it will seek to minister in
every possible way to the higher life.

Farmers are careful about the breed
ing of their cattle and horses and
sheep, why not about fowls? The
egg and chicken trade is an immense
one, and it is worth while to pay
some attention to the chickens. Hav-
ing selected the best breed, they must
not be left to take care of themselves,
if you want them to be remunerative.
You do not expect this from any
other stock. They may, indeed, find
their own living, but if you want a
bounteous yield you should furnish
them with plenty of wholesome food
and good clean water, and if you do
this there is no other stock on the
farm that will return a better profit
for the outlay.

One Hundred and Thirteen Miles of

Boston Journal.
In numbering the organs of their
manufacture, Mason & Hamlin have
reached No. 100000. Arranged in
line these would reach one hundred
and thirteen miles, or would fence
the railroad on one side from the
Grand Central Station in New York,
to within twenty miles of Spring
field, Mass. Not only does this show
the great popularity of American or
gans, but it illustrates what was de-
clared by James Parton to bea gener-
al fact, that he who makes the best
article in his line always has the best
success.
We understand that the Mason &
Hamlin Company's new Upright
Piano is now commanding a large
sale, and is, in every way, up to the
standard of their unrivaled organs.
We predict a large success for this
piano, which is constructed on a new
system, said to be a decided advance
over the prevailing wrestpin system.
