Lucky Jest.

The French author Martinville,
who began his career toward the
close of the last century, is said to
have owed the preservation of his
life TO a witty piece of audacity. He
was a Royalist, and did not hesitate
to attack the French revolution and
its authorities. Presently, ofcourse,
he was summoned to appear before
the revolutionary tribunal, with the
terrible Fouquicr at it's head.
The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send
everybody to the guillotine who had
ventured to attack them. Martin
Vile expected to go with the rest OF
the victims.
"What is your name?" asked the
revolutionary Judge.
"Martainville," said the young au.
thor,
"Martainville!" exclaimed the
judge. "You are deceiving us, and
trying to hide your rank. You are
an aristocrat, and your name is De
Martainvllle."
"Citizen President" exclaimed the
young man, 81 am here to be short.
ened, notlengthened! Leave me my
name!"
A true Frenchman loves witticisln
above all things, and the tribunal
was SO much pleased by Martain.
ville's grim response, that it spared
his life.

The Albany Journal states that u
dirty tramp called at the house OF u
Bethlehem widow, living alone, about
7o'clock in the morning, and offered
to saw wood in return for d break
fast. Are We hungry?" she asked.
''iessum, hungrier nor q bear. -
"Well, ye can have yer feed first, I
guess" He was given q bountiful
meal. At it's conclusion the tramp
rose and took up his ugly-looking
bludgeon: "I'll keep my eyes wide
open tight" he said grinning, land
if l see man as wants ter saw yer
wood for his breakfast I'll give him
your address," Then he opened the
door and walked out. He had gone
but few steps when he heard the
widows sharp voice calling q halt.
He turned with an oath and saw q
gun pointed squarely at him. He
came back and sawed not one, but
two cords of wood, whitewashed the
hen house and cleaned out the COW
stable.

s.i.olk Breed Of Pigs.

The breed had great popularity
thirty or more years ago. It was es.
pecially favorite in England where
Prince Albert introduced it, which
was sufficient recommendation to
loyal subjects of the queen. The
breed is to some extent still popular
in England, whose climate favors it,
The Suffolk pig has short, thin hair,
as far removed as possible from the
bristles of the wild type of hog. But
the pigs scald in our hot Summer
suns, and freeze unless give especial
care in Winter. Hogs for American
use must have more hair than the
Suffolk.

Feeding Coal to the Fire:

The throwing Of fuel upon the fire
is generally considered as o means
of augmenting the amount OF heat
produced, and taken as q whole it
does have that effect. But for the
maintenance of a steady fire and an
even heat only small amount Of flu.
Ell should be thrown upon a fire at
the time. The reason for this is that
coal is dependent upon two constitu.
ents for it's heat giving properties.
One of these, the carbonaccous. re.
mains in q solid state, while the 9th.
er, the bituminous, is volatilized. AZ
the latter process must be accom-.
plished before the first will be ready
for burning, the first effect of throw.
ing fuel upon the fire is that of cool.
ing. Not only must the solid
coal be raised to the furnace TEN.
perature, but the volatilization
must be carried on. Here the
same laws come into play as in the
evaporation of water. Theevapora-
tion and volatilization require more
heat than that accounted for in the
elevation of temperature, and which
is therefore rendered latent. Hence
unless care is taken to burn off the
gases, MS they are given off it would
he better that they did not exist.
For it will be easily understood that
if the fire, which is due to the COM
bustion of the solid carbons, did not
have to heat these gases, it would
give out just the same amount of
heat that would be available for
steam making. 1t is due to this fact
that coke has been accredited, with
greater heating properties than bit
luminous coal, simply because the
gases in the coal have been distilled
and not burned. But when the fur
naces are so designed that these gases
are thoroughly burned, the heating
properties of the coal will befound to
be greater by just the amount of
heat given out by the combustion OF
the gases in excess of what was re-
quired to distill them.

Lime In Collars.

Lime is q good disinfectant. 1t is
especially valuable to place in cellars
where vegetables have been stored, es-
pecially such Us have been put in wet
Or showed signs of decay. The past
Fall has been so wet that more than
usual attention must be given to eel
lars to preventlosses. By absorbing
superduous moisture the lime pre-
vents the rising Of foul odors that
dampness with warmth is sure to
generate. Most vegetables in cellars
are better if covered with earth ard
the lime sprinkled over tibet top of the
heap.

Frosted Bits.

No horseman who regards kind
ness to his charge Us u virtue will
use bare iron bits in cold weather.
1t is very easy to cover them with
leather, thus preventing liberated
mouths and sore tongues from con-
tact with frosted iron. 1t is always
a protection to warm the bit before
putting the iron into the mouth. In
driving during the severest weather
the iron becomes chilled outside the
mouth, and sometimes will make
sore the flesh which it touches where
the breath does not warm it.

conversation which he had with .
citizen Of ono Of the little towns:
GIVE got the BEST wife you ever
see," said he. She 10 q swede or
something like that. Her mother
was q Swede or Norwayer or Dem
mark woman, you understand, but
my wife's American to the backbone.
She is q saving, Woodworking, mod
est Christian woman, goes tochurch,
has her pick among the women for
friends, never gossips or quarrels,
and just naturally likes to go out
with me once In q great while in q
wagon and get dinner somewheres
away from home. That's the best
fun she has, and I like it in her. I'd
be a-scared something was wrong
with her If she didn't like fun.
Well, now, I'll tell you what I
done with her when we was
first married. I amt sorry, neither.
I thought it all over again and
again, and then l up and I says it to
her. Look here says I, we're mar
ried, and We can't tell what O day
will bring forth. Now, If it should
happen that you SEQ any one you
like better'n me, and you should do
me a wrong. why, I'll tell you now,
once and for all, what I'd do. 1
wouldn't git up and stomp Ground
ten-acre lot, nor I wouldn't shoot,
nor wouldn't get no div orce, nor
have no scandal. I'd just give you
my house and halfwhatmo had,
and I'd sell out my business, and I'd
go away. You wouldn' want to fol-
me nor ever see me again. I'd take
the children, because you wouldn't
be the likeiiest ono Of the two to
bring up children Greet

but she understood me-"

they shouldn't though. The women
folks are getting kinder high-headed,
though, amt they, nowadays?

Indian corn, says Professor Hunt,
of the Illinois College Farm, is the
most economical pork-producing ma
terial during the Winter months in
regions where it isextensively grown.
Undoubtedly, but better pork is
made with ut least an admixture of
other grains. The taste for solid fat
is passing away.
Subsoiling should be done in a
manner so as not to turn under the
top soil. tits simply to follow the
pillow and loosen the hard pun, in Or
der to permit the roots to extend
lower. Subsoiling should be accom-.
panied with thorough draining, which
permits the dir to enter, thereby hast
ening chemical action, as well as to
carry off excessive moisture and in.
crease warmth of soil.
