TakIng Care of His Il ems.

A prominent Piscataquis County (Me.l
man had lot of Plymouth Rock hens, in
which he took great pride. They had
been allowed to go under the barn during
warm weather, entering through small
hole in the wall. One cold day, after the
first snow, he thought it time to shut
them out, as it was not suitable place
for them during the seve-' weather. Ac-
cordingly he placed P board over the
hole and banked it with snow. A fort
night later his wife startled him by re-
marking, as they sat at the table: '1
would like to know whore all the PI YIN
outh Rocks are; I have visited the hem
house and can'6 find one" Dropping
knife and fork he started fer the barn.

/. Ladies will call for the gentlemen
promptly at eight o'clock. Those who
keep their escorts waiting, and are con-
sequently late at the party, will be
treated for the remainder of the evening
as wall flowers. 2. The gents will be ex-
pected to behave in the most lady like
manner. 3. Gentlemen are to bring to
the ball a fan, a corsage bouquet, and
smelling salts. 4. The gentlemen whose
bouquet is not crushed in the first
dance will b5 a witness to the
fact that he has been held with
propriety. 5. No gentleman shall cross
the floor without a lady attendant. 6. If
a gentleman goes for glass of water UNI
att ended by a lady the floor managers
will at once declare him out Of order, and
compel him to be seated. Z. Gents are
expected to be languId, to drop their
bandkerchiefs as often as possible, make
frequent calls for water, and at supper
give the ladies no time for eating. s. The
ladies who have been snub5ed at dances
heretofore will claim the greatest number
of dances, and those who have been active
society bellies will let the gentlemen
severely alone.

WHEN PIPING WINDS.

When piping winds do blow,
And whistle loud and shrilL
And dancing feet o. the snow
Glide down the long white hill
Wis then the world is gay; is gay
With brave bright skies aglOw
For the long, long play Of the winter day.
When piping winds do blow
'Tis then the world is gay,
With naught TO preach OF glOomi
Nor ever a hOw'r o the May
To push into bud and bloom;
With never a blade OF grass
To coax uIl its Iances show
But the long, long play OF the winter day,
When piping winds do blow
Never her scouts need run.
And TO the skies complain
OF scOrching heat O. the sun,
Or drenching blight of the rain;
Never an apple to paint, TO paint,
Or an ear OF corn TO grow
But the long, long play or the winter day,
When piping winds do blow
No bird in hidden nest
To WOO 70 flight and song,
Or rock TO sleep i the breast
OF tall pines green and strong;
No music to teach the wave, the wave,
AS it breaks on the sand below
But the long. lOag play Of the winter day.
When piping winds do blow
She hath no care to heed
II Autumn fails to reap
BOuntiful wealth o. the seed
And golden fleece OF the sheep:
Whether the stack be high, be high,
Or whether the stack be low
What does she care in the winter fair
When piping winds do blowl
All when the winds do blow,
And whistle loud and shrill,
IT'S then the world may 90
Wherever her fancy Wilt
IT'S then she can dance and sing, and sing
With never a grief to know
But the long, long play OF the winter day,
When piping winds do blowl

A witness in the Wayne Circuit Court,

trying to say something mean about a
certain railroad, one of the directors of

the case from that which controlled his
sympathies. The witness was one Of
those who always maintain their equilib-

comes at their perverseness. In this case
the witness was not only good -natured
but keen of perception and ready of wit.

tion in such way as to reflect discredit,
not only upon the board of directors Of
this railroad, but on the road as well.
What do you know about this road. any

"Excuse my frenkness, but consider
that it principally consists of two streaks
of rust and right of way" replied the
witness instantly.

Size of the Enormous Time-Piece for
Phnadelphta's City Hall.
Philadelphia is coming to time, and
vice versa. The clock that is to be
put into the tower of the public build
ing at Philadelphia is to be a grand af-
fair. The dial will be twenty-five feet
in diameter. and the center of the dial
will be 361 feet above the street. The
dial will be Illuminated by electricity,
and it is calculated that the time can
be seen at night from any point i'm the
city, and with lield-glass the position
of the hands can be distinguished at n
distance of fifteen miles The minute
hand of the clock will be twelve feet
long, and the hour hand will measure
nine feet in length. The size of the
Roman figures on the dial will be two
feet eight inches in length. A steam
engine will be place in the tower to
wind the clock up every day. The
clock-makers who have been invited to
give their views concerning the build
ing of the clock all say that nobody
in this country is able to build such
an enormous time-piece. 1t will take
a whole year to place the clock ma
chinery in the tower after the building
has been completed. The bell for the
clock is to weigh between 10000 and

The Shasta (CaL) Courier relates
that during some recent extensive for
est fires in that locality the sun was so
obscured for several days that noon ap-
peared rs deep twilight. The Indians
spearing fish on the Sacramento hung
their catch on the bushes to utilize this
prevailing smoke, and butchers and

Henry ward Iieeoher's Grave

Mr.. Beecher's grave is marked by a bed
of floral decorations, which are gradual
ly falling to ruin in the rain and winds.
The entire mound was originally con-
cealed by blanket of white immortelles.
Across this and woven into it were bands
Of purple blossoms so arranged that they
formed the letters III. w. B." extending
in length to the full width of the grave.
The immortelles have turned to a dull
brown, and many of the petals have
blown away, but the marking of the
initials is still distinct.

A self-Rlslng Nose.

The Newport (R- u Post tells funny
story of an actor who was playing in a
farce. in which it was necess airy for him
to use a large dough nose. One night
when he got to the theater he found no
-four, and he sent the boy out after some.
Back came the boy; the nose was made
and whipped on. Presently, to the hor-
ror Of the actor, the nose began to swell,
till at length, in the midst of an impor-
tent passage it burst and fell to the
ground. It had been made of self-rising
-four, and the heat of the actors face had
accomplished the catas trophe.
