"A sudden gust of wind took par
asol from the hand Of its owner, and
before one had chance to recollect
whether it would be etiquette to catch
such an article belonging to lady to
whom he had never been introduced, a
lively Emeralder dropped his hod of
bricks, caught the parachute in the
midst of its gyrations, and presenting
it to the fair loser with low bow,
said: " Faith, madam, if you were as
strong as you are handsome, It
wouldn't have got away from you. !"
(Which shall thank you for first, the
service or the compliment?" asked the
lady, smilingly. Troth, madam"
said Pat, touching the brim Of his hat,
"that look of your beautiful eyes
thanked me for both"

DESTROYING WEEDS.
How to Kill Vegetation That Springs Up
in Drives and Walks.

in Drives and Walks.
Boiling hot brine sprinkled over
grass and weeds will kill every green
thing. The brine need not be strong,
especially when the vegetation is
young and tender. Hot brine, even
when it is not strong, will kill tender
leaves and roots, when it would injure
plants only little if applied cold. A
large watering potful of hot, weak
brine will be sufficient to sprinkle
long walk, drive or gutter when the
grass is young and tender. Of course
the larger and older the vegetation
may be, the more brine will be required.
If the hot brine is sprinkled Oh the
grass near the middle of the day,
when the sun shines in it's full efful-
gence, and when every leaf and stem
is free from rain or dew drops, the
brine will be more effectual than if
applied when every thing is wet.
If one has too much gravel walk,
drives and cutters to be sprinkled with
not brine, let fine salt be sowed wher-
ever grass or weeds appear; salt will
subserve the same purpose as hot
brine; yet it will not operate SO quickly.
Let the salt be sowed Immediately
after shower, when the leaves and
ground are wet. II sowed prior to
d shower most of it may be washed
away by the little streams that will
carry away all the saline elements
before they have been dissolved. Salt
will not injure the trees and roots
until it has been thoroughly dissolved.
Brick cutters or cutters made OF
cobble stone or fat stones, or Belgian
cutters, can all be kept entirely free
from all annual weeds or perennial
grass OF any species by the timely
application of q little salt. Even that
irrepresslble quack or couch grass that
will sometimes spring up in the joints
OF flag walks (or blue stone walks),
almost defying every effort towards
determination, win quickly disappear
after few applications Of hot brine.
A few cents worth of salt applied at
the proper time will save many hours
OF laborous hoeing and pulling weeds
by hand. In some localities poison
ivy (Rhus t0rtc0de,sdron) gives many
persons an immense amount Of trouble.
Cut the vines close to the ground at
any season of the year, and sprinkle
the young sprouts with hot brine two
or three times, and this pernicious
vine will never poison any one again

MAYyILLE. n. Y. Dee. Q.

MAYNIILb, n. 7, DEC. :, 1850,
am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCoCK's 8 Porous PLAsTERs,
that am able to endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
believe their value can not be estimated.
Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex-
ternal or internal, equals them in certainty
and rapidity Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result-a speedy cure.

To Keep Milk Sweet.

Instead of boiling milk it is better to
put it in glass jars-self sealing fruit
jars-set these in a wash boiler, or fiat
bottom vessel containing cold water of
a depth equal to two-thirds the height
of the jar. The jars must be left open.
After the water in the vessel has
boiled for at least one hour the jars
may be taken out and closed. After
cooling slowly they should be set away
in cool place. Milk thus treated
will keep in a cool cupboard for two or
three days during such weather as the
present, and for week in winter time.
Heating in water bath does not sepa-
rate the caseine, rendering the milk
ropy, or scummy, as boiling does; nor
does it impair its nutritive qualities in
the ast.-PittsburgA Commercial.

A WOMAN'S BLUFF.
How She Used Her Husband After Elopins
with His Hired Man.

How She Used Her Husband After Elopine
with His Hired Man.
After two or three days of weary
search Canadian named Williams,
living near St. Thomas. located his
eloping wife here in Detroit. She had
run away with the hired man. and they
were boarding with a family on
Champlain street An officer went
with the husband to interview the
faithless one, rather expecting trouble,
but there was none. The visitors were
ushered into the sitting-room, and the
wife rose up and calmly asked:
"Who did you wish to see, gentle
menp"
MARY, I've come for your replied
the husband. ''Why did you run away
from me and the childrenp Where S
that scoundrel of PeteP"
MARY? Maryp Haven't you made
a mistake, sirp" she queried.
Come, Mary, none of that" he an
swered. you've got to go back with
me-"
''Sir, what means this languagep"
she demanded. "Officer, did you bring
this man here to insult mep"
''He says you are his wife"
"Of course she isr'
''His wife! | never set eyes on him
before! He is either drunk or crazy!'
'.Not my wifer he shouted. Haven't
we lived together eighteen yearsp Didn't
you and Pete skip from home ten days
agop Haven't you got two children
waiting for you to come back? And
haven't come to waltz you home and
pound Pete within an inch Of his ife?'
Il must demand your protection -
she said to the officer. This has gone
too far already. The man must be
crazyr'

band.
Try it at your peril!' she replied.
my husband will demand ample sat
isfaction for this outraged"
"You must be mistaken said the
officer.

"Your name and the number OF your
badge, please?" asked the woman, and
when they were given she wrote them
down and bowed the officer out. The
husband went, too, but vigorously con-
tended that no mistake had been made
Two hours later he returned to the
house to make another effort, but the
wife had disappeared, leaving behind
her note which read:
ITO the Police-Please use the old
man gently. He is very soft on top of
the head Yours truly-Pete and IL

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Cucumber vines should be made
to trail on a bush, as the cucumbers
can then be more easily picked, and
they also grow long and of better shape
than when the vines are left on the
ground.
When it is desired to make the
foliage assume deep-green, healthy
color. or the flowers brighter hue,
judicious applications of soot-water
will accomplish it better than any
thing else.
Baked Beets.-Select five large
beets, wash well, but do not cut, and
bake in moderate oven for three or
four hours, according to the size. Peel
and slice and season, if liked, with
vinegar, pepper and salt.
Chocolate Blanc Mango. e.-Boil to-
gether. two minutes. one quart of hot
milk, four tablespoonfuls, each, OF
corn-starch and sugar, then stir in two
tablespoonfuls Of melted chocolate, and
mold Serve with whipped cream.
Allow no plants to seed unless you
wish to save the seed. The bearing OF
seed by plant is more exhaustive
to the soil than the growth of the
plant, for when the plant has seeded
it has completed its work and stored
in the seed material for future plants.
Chicken and Tomatoes. one
quart of tomatoes very slow. Put two
ounces of butter in a stew pan with a
tablespoonful of flour, half a small on
ion minced and little chopped pork.
Fry until brown, pour in the tomato
pulp, season with pepper and salt.
Have the chicken fried and pour the
sauce over.
Cheese Biscuits. Take a quarter OF
a pound of flour, two ounces of lard or
butter. three ounces of cheese, grated
or finely shred, and melt together in
the oven till quite soft; seasoned with
cayenne and salt, add a very little luke
warm water, roll out into a thin paste,
cut into biscuits or straws, and bake
in quick oven.
"A man who has sliced clover two
years says it should be left to wilt on
the ground for hours after cutting,
and if each days filing of the silo be al
lowed to heat before the fresh clover
is added, and the sides, not the center,
kept thoroughly tramped, the clover
will come out moist and green, and the
cattle will relish it as thoroughly as
summer pasture.
1t is an excellent rule to carefully
put away every article of apparel as
soon as taken of. Dresses should be
shaken and well brushed, and if hand
somely and elaborately trimmed,
should be folded, every fold and plait
in place, carefully pinned up in large
towel and laid in drawer; this is very
important in order to keep dresses in
shape. or if preferred to hang them
up, loops should be sewed on the back
OF the shoulder, by which they may
hang.
Fig Pudding Chop half a pound
OF figs and simmer them gently in
cider to cover until soft, add half a
cup of sugar and stir to thick paste.
Heap this irregularly in a pudding
dish and pour it over custard made
as follows: Trim the crust from some
dry rolls to make half pint, soak in
a pint Of milk for an hour and add two
well-beaten eggs, half cup of sugar
and two tablespoonfuls Of melted but
ter. Crate a little nutmeg over the
top aud bake half an hour.

The authorship of the dramatic productions attributed to the last of the above named is agitating literary circles to the very centre, but affects the practical masses far less than the momentous question how to regaln or preserve health, that essential of bodily and men, tai activity, business success and the pursuit of happiness" We can throw far more light on this latter subject than the most pro found Shakesperian can on the question first propounded. If the system is depleted, the nerves shaky; if indigestion or constipa- tion bothers one at times, or con stantly; if the skin IS yellow and tongue furred as in billioushess; if there are premonitory twinges of oncoming neuralgia or rheu- matism; if the kidneys are inac- tive-use Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, the finest recuperant of ah age prolific in beneficial and suc- cessful remedies.

Soiom onviIie Siftihgs,

The political battle is over, anG to the great and overwhelming surprise of all the, independents won, while the remains of the de- feated are strewn all over the county. The causes of our defeat are numerous, but may chiefly be ascribed to the defection among influential Democrats.
 "Chinese Pete," alias ''Bolan. the Boodler," Graham county's dlsrep- utable district attorney, was ''rolled" last Sunday and lost some $70. It seems the Boodler had filled his tank to such an extent that he could no longer carry his load, and, as is customary with him, laid down to sleep off some of the effects. He was discovered by the Mexican, who quickly took in the situation and relieved him of some of his campaign poodle. The robber is now in jail, and stands a very good show of serving a term in Yuma, where he may have the distinguished company of Hon. Pete, if there is any virtue in the law.
 Assemblyman-elect Pomeroy is visiting Fl Paso. There has nothing yet been heard of the rob Der who took in the stage near Bailey's. As you are probably aware Mir. Pomeroy is mourning the loss of bis gold watch and $35 in coin.
 Boodler Pete, accompanied by Frank Dysart, left for Tucson Friday, probably for the purpose of getting out another infamous issue of Bolan's circular.
 It being notorious fact that two of the candidates elected on the alleged Independent" ticket the ''party of purity and re- form"-are in no way competent to fill their respective positions, speculation is rife as to whom will be chosen by the combination to do the work. It is believed, how ever, that Frank Dysart will as- sume the duties of the Treasurer's office, while that virtuous and strictly honest individual, Pete BolaD, will draw down the fees of the County Recorders office. In case this should prove true I will acquaint you with the sentiment of the people of this valley in the matter.
