The latest thing in chestnut bells is
the following: A friend of Major
Hayden lately presented him with a
gong" greatly to his delight, and he
volunteered the information that he
had Il victim already in sight, Charley
Sprague, who had been persistent in
his cndeavors to shove antiquated
chestnuts in view. The friend secretly
posted Charley and awaited results
Soon afterwards the gay conductor
visited the Major in his office and
opened on him with: a say, Major
why is miller's hat always white?"
With a flush of triumph the victim
slid his hand under the lapel of his
coat, but before he could spring the
bell, Charley had pulled from his over
coat pocket huge deep-toned COW.
bell and was triumphantly waving it
in the air. The Major gives up beat.
The gong no longer through Tara 5
halls sounds the triumphant refrain.

THE Chehalis Nugget OF last week
publishes Il serious libel on our genial
friend, Judge NJ. A. Root. 1t atfirms,
with every appearance of seriousness,
that Mr. X. during a late trip to that
county, had taken to himself wife
The act charged, We may say, has no
terror for our friend This is not the
cause of his present tribdlation. Far
from it. His heart bows down" to a
far different cause, and that is the posi-
ton in which the report places him
with his many friends, especially the
young ladies, who, in these times of
startling disclosures, are unable to de-
determine whether he is now masquer-
aiding as single man, or is in reality,
as he AYERS, heart whole and fancy
free. A committee of married women,
after careful consideration of the mat
ter, have given him the benefit of the
doubt, declaring that he manifests
none of the subdued" characteristics
of the veritable benedict.

it in the whisky, or the climate of the

The degree in which girls with money
are pursued in England goes far beyond
anything known in America yet even
in this fashion has rs much influence as
wealth. Some years ago there was a
very wealthy and good-looking, Ameri.
can girl in England, and it is stated on
absolutely trustworthy authority that for
weeks together she had on an average
one offer Of marriage o day. These
were mostly made at places in the
country where she was visiting and were
chiefly those of the nobility. She very
often received proposals from aristo-
cratic fortune-hu hunters whom she had not
known for twenty-four hours. This was
aided by no forwardness on her part, for
she was modest and retiring beyond most
of her sex. She ended by marrying a
great title, saying that she had no faith
in any mans sincerity, judging by her
experience, and that she might IS we'll
secure at least title, since there could
be no other advantage to her in a
NUSO0OO. -----

steam engines of peculiar design. They
are placed in the western and eastern
ends OF the building, extending through
"louvres in the root. and having their
foundations upon heavy II" beams
built into the walls. They drive each
l0-foot ventilating fan, keyed to G-inoh
shaft which is connected with the crank
arm OF the engine. While OF the ordi-
nary slide-valve type, the striking feature
is the complete revolution of the cylin-
der. The cylinder, II inch diameter and
:2i-inch stroke. is boited to a hollow trun-
niou, with stutfing box at the top for
steam passage, and is provided on the
bottom with q stud which is connected
by,;,.link at the upper end Of the fan
shaft This fan shaft is twelve inches
out OF the centre of the trunnion, or one
half the stroke and by the reciprocation
OF the piston gives the revolutions to the
cylinder and crank. ------~-

SOME persons in cutting asparagus
leave the small shoots that are hot large

The better way is to cut them off clean.

Then all cuttings should cease and the

growth. The old practice of planting
the roots deeply below the surface and
cutting the shoots as soon rs they
pushed through the ground. with barely
a green tip, is exploded. Green, and
not bleache'l, is the asparagus for flavor.
