How to Destroy Chinchbugs.

A Wisconsin farmer as reported IN the
Mankato KAN Review, says his neigh
bors beat the chinchbugs in this way:
"Take one and one-half bushels of lime.
pour Just enough water on ii to slack 1t
into powder or fine condition, and
then add to it Oneh half bushel OF COM
mon stock salt, and SOW broadcast over
the ground just as the small grain is
sown, and he says it has never been
known to fail He further says if one
fears the ravages of the bugs. that the
time to SOW the compounds is after the
crop has been planted and just before it
is ready to come up
1t may be added that this preparation
is good fertilizer. so that if it destroys
bugs or prevents their ravages, it serves

Going o Little Too Ear.

There was case In the paper the other
day in which it appeared that a lady's
maid named Vincent had been dismissed
for refusing to lace her mistress boots.
Now, it seems to my unsophistocated
mind that this valeting, whether male or
female, and whether the valet be q prison
warder or not, is o very poor business on
both sides, and quite as degrading to the
yaleted as to the valet. Idon't think that
should like to be stripped or dressed by
another person. have never known
which to pity more accurately, Morgan
setting up Maj. Pendennis or the major
being set up by Morgan. remember

waiter brought It to me Lit. thought
this was going too far ut the time. But,

down before one Of Sullivan's terrific
right-hander's, and again in the second
round The feat was repeated several
times during the progress of the mill; !
but in spite of his punishment Mitchell
showed up well. He succeeded In hitting
Sullivan several times. At the end
of fhe thirtyJninth. round, by mn
tual consent, the fight was declared draw.
The referee was induced, as he stated, to
declare the fight draw by the fact that
no punishment had been inflicted during
the last hour. = Mitchc1l's left eye. was
almost closed and his body and right
cheek badly bruised, but his legs were
apparently IS good as ever. Sullivan
showed few signs Of having received q
blow, but he was badly winded and snf-
fered severely from the keen wind and
cold rain. The spectators voted the Of
fair farce and condemned Mitchell in
most severe terms for his tricky methods
and childish tactics. It was quite evil
dent to every one that had the fight been
conducted under Queensberry rules
Mitchell would have stood no earthly
