The procession, it is certain, will be worth seeing, as display of the civic institutions of the borough, of it's mercantile and in dustrial enterprises, as well as for it's bur- lesque features. There will be time enough between the morning procession and the evenings fireworks to visit any of the other gatherings in town.

A mother on Madison avenue lately
requested her daughter, who is just
approaching womanhood, to give her
beau hint that she must not sit up
later than 10 o'clock. This, the girl
was reluctant to do, but her little
brother threatened that unless she
did he would open the parlor door
and announce the maternal edlct.
The sister supposed that she had put
a quietus on her brother by reminding
him of his playing hockey and forging
his mothers name on excuses from
school to 60 skating, not forgetting TO
mention a little riding whip his man.

ever was not enough to keep the youth
from getting even with his sis's beau
for not giving him anything Christ

alarm clock with bell as loud as the
gong on the Brooklyn bridge bob, and
placed it under the sofa where his SIS
ter and her betrothed were to do their
spooning. The hands were pointed at

tick, but took it to be her lovers

ear with yarn about a horse his
papa was going to buy when the gong
sounded. There was pause-a

a ferret kept in cage in a barn or

The scent from the ferret Ia what does

don THEFT nests of young.

never found it q failure. In an ordI.

pend upon getting two sets of (84)
sections finished by each colony Of
bees, while some colonies will finish
three sets 100 to 1875 sections). The
honey is very white and of excellent

A farmer who was troubled with
the smell OF garlic, or wild onions, in
his milk, says that to obviate the dit
ticulty he put the cows in the stable
about o'clock each afternoon, and
fed them on hay, and gave them their
grain as usual. The result was all he
anticipated. A rest of three hours al
lowed the scent to pass off in the 9TH
er secretions, though previously it
very strongly favored both milk and
butter. The same course would prob
ably be an advantage when the milk
tastes of other foul weeds in the pas
ture.
