What Happened to tho Commission Man

What Happened to tho Commission Man.
 A popular commission merchant of Toledo recently celebrated his 37th birthday His wife had, of course, prepared surprise for him, as is the custom nowadays, and the neighbors were duly informed that their presence was urgently requested at the B. mansion at 10 o'clock that night. About 1O:3O Mir. B. came meandering home from ''the club" and, as he expected his wife had gone to bed, stole silently in by the side door. But his wife was not abed.
 "John," said she, as he entered, 'step into the sitting room and light the gas, please"
 John, without the least suspicion, obeyed, and as he stood in the center of the room, reaching for the gas jet, called out:
 "Say, Mary, don't have any more of them - codfish for breakfast in the morning. Give us eggs for a change"
 The yell that greeted this sally fairly shook the house. All around the room sat some thirty couples of his neighbors, fairly laugh 1 ing themselves to death The host and hostess, appreciating the joke, joined in the laugh. A merrier crowd never sat around 8 table than that which celebrated the 37th birthday of-no, his name must not be given must it. John!-Toledo Bee.

Fields That VIII Admit of Closest
 Economy of Money and Time in Tenc-
 Ing and CultivatIng.
 In laying out farms and in shaping fields the common, ruling practice is to give them a square form or as nearly so ss practicable, in order to economize fenc- ing. Aten acre lot, for example, if square, will measure forty rods on each of the four sides and require for its entire in closure 1eO rods of fencing. By altering it's form and making it twice as long and half as brosl it will require 200 rods of boundary fence.

This new canna is pronounced by Peter Henderson as being the most distinct and beautiful of all the recent French vari- cities. Like mostof this class it is dwarf, rarely exceeding four feet in height, but in profusion of bloom is said to be quite remarkable. The flowers resemble orchids; the general color is canary yellow, mottled and strealzed with crimson and scarlet.

Fig. ? represents a farm of the same shape laid out with square fields, which would obviously be less convenient than the one shown in Fig. 1.
 When, from uneven, hilly land this symmetrical form cannot be adopted, the authority quoted from suggests that the plan may be modified or varied to suit cir cumstances. For instance, if hill is in the way of the farm road, it may be made to deviate and to pass around 1t. shaping the direction of the oblong fields accord ingly; and deep depression in the land may be avoided in Q similar way, or by turning to the right eR~ left and securing 2 aaeeEal zf5 gfadel
