A Youug LAWYERS SAbterfuge.

A young lawyer in an eastern city,
says the Bath (Me.) Independent, secured
one of his first clients in this way He
was attending card party and noticed
that an old and wealthy citizen had
taken note for $16 from his pocket to
keep the score on. He spoke to him
about it and was told that the note was
worthless. "But, sir, am sure / can
collect it for you," the limb of the law
replied. "Well, you can have half of it
if you do" said the owner, and handed
it over. The young man failed to Sc.
cure the money and was about returning
the note when a thought struck him.
"Mr. -, have collected that note
for you," he said. "What2 You haven't
thought" exclaimed the delighted capi-
taiist. '.Tes, sir, and here's youF half"
the lawyer replied, taking from his
pocket $S of his own hard earned cash
and giving it to the old man. The re-
suit was that the capitalist concluded
that il the young lawyer was capable of
collecting such debt as that he was
equal to anything, and he transferred
all his extensive legal business into bis
hands.

SUGGESTIONS ON RoAD-MAKINa.

The best form of the upper surface of
the roadway Gts cross section), says the
Auburn (Ala.) Experiment Station bull
letin, is that of two inclined planes meet
ing in the centre of the road and having
their angles slightly rounded by curve.
The inclinations Of the planes should be
greatest where the surface is rough and
on a steep hillside the surface shomfdf IA

race OF the hill. A ditch on the aide
next to the hill receives the surface

What an Indian Can Stand.

To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, may tell of an incident
which happened during the winter was
with them. Toward evening on 9 very
cold winter day, when it was showing
Just iittlo and drifting great deal, an
lnqian came to the log house with JUG
half full of whisky aud with his rife. I
imagine that the jug had been entirely
full Of WhRky when he started, and by
the time be Gotto the house he was in
4Ss.o ndition.-,, The Jug and
the Tide aiken away from him, and
he was ofdefed to get to his wigwam a.
as quick as he could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not come home that
night, and as the night was cold she had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found il one of the sheds near
the barn under heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appsr-
emily the Indian was frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out of the snow bank and
dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose Of watering the cattle. Laying the
Iudian out on the suUw- Snp- took ht,r
pan that was beside the hole, and, FILL
ing it repeatedly, dashed pailful after
paiful of ice water over the body of the
Indian. Ry the time the other unsuc.
cessful searchers had returned she had
her old man thawcd out and seated BY
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
by the Others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, lie would hav,
died. Detroit Freo Press,

REMOVING STAINS.

Blood stains are best removed by
soaking in cold water three or four
hours, then wash with soapin cold water
and expose to the sun, or boil IN water
containing little soda.
Rust, iron, coffee and mildew stains
can be removed by washing first, then
soak ten or fifteen minutes in chloride
of line water; a tablespoonful of chloride
of lime dissolved in a pint of luke warm
water, and strained carefully into pail
of water is about the right strength, then
rinse well and expose to the sun.-Detroit

is THE MOLE A NUISANCE 2

There are many people who consider
moles a nuisance and endeavor in every
way to get rid of them, in the belief that
they destroy vegetables, cat seeds and
planted grains, and in many ways damage
the crops, besides making gardens and
grounds unsighty by their borrowings.
Others, while admitting the undesirable
ness of their undcrgrounds roads, believe
they do more good than harm in the de-
struction Of worms, bugs, ETC., that
would more injuriously abound were it
not for the molcs. A Vineland IN. J.)
correspondent of much experience has
heretofore said in the World that he has
followed their runs through potato hills
and road beds of every kind, also among
his strawberries, blackbcrrics, ETC., and
has never yet found any injury from
them, and he concludes that they subsist
entirely on worms, bugs and the like that
get into runways, and are therefore
among the farmers and gardeners best
friends. An Ohio correspondent has also
spoken good word for the moles,
especially on meadow lands. Much other
testimony of similar character might be
given. On the contrary, there are per-
sons who assert positively that moles do
eat grain, and recite instances that sus-
tain them in their belief. Upon the
whole. with much conflicting evidence
on the subject, it is deemed safe to say
that the mole is essentially inscctiverous
in its habits, aud unless impelled by
hunger from scarcity of its favorite food
rarely affects vegetation injuriously.
Dropping castor oil beans in their runs
is said to have the effect of keeping them
away .--Ne,o York. WorN.

THE USE OF SODA TO CLEAN WINDOWS.
Persons who have had new windows
to wash will be sure to recollect the
botheration caused by the streaks of
putty oil and drops OF paint. More than
half the labor OF removing these may be
saved by taking wet cloth, dipping it
into ordinary baking soda and rubbing
the paste thus made thinly over the
glass. After this has been suffered to
remain about fifteen minutes it can be
easily removed by washing in warm, soft
water, without soap, bringing oil and
stains with if. If the glass is then
rubbed dry and aftcrward polished with
dry whiting and chamois skin, the most
fastidiouS eye can discover no blemish

Have the team shod we'll or not at'all.
For sleeping place dry soil is prefer

Cover tender shrubs with barrels
stuffed with leaves.
Always breed from a stallion thatswill

Onions and fruits keep better in shall
low bins than in heaps.
AS far as possible keep birds of size
and disposition together.
A few bruised apples will sooner or
later spoil the whole barrel.
If you let the calf become stunted we

If more than fifty fowls are kept, they
should have more than one homestead or
roost
A few hens, with the care usually
given, will give more eggs in proportion
than large number.
Hard work is not so apt to injuro a
horse as the failure to receive proper at
tention after the work.
If the combs should become frosted,
bathing in sweet oil will relieve and pre-
serve the looks somewhat.
1t is the freezing and thawing that is
injurious to pansies and strawberries.
Cover them to prevent this.
For eggs and chicks combined tho
Langhans, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
and Brahams are excellent.
The colt raised in stall or close lot is
apt to be more awkward aud soft than
one given to plenty of room.
Never try to keep milk at low tenn.
perature by keeping the COW in low
temperature. 1t will not work.
Do not smoke when about the milk and
butter. Customers do not like to take
the aroma of tobacco in that way.
Violets and pansies are heaved out by
the frost, and need light covering of
leaves, evergreen boughs or litter.
Do you recommend winter dairyinga
asks q correspondent. Yes, if the dairy
man will give it the proper attention.
Mahonias, rhododendrons and yuccas
should be protected with leaves, held in
place by evergreen boughs or fine brush.

If there are burrs in your corn field or
pasture it won't pay to turn the sheep in
there to pick. 1t will pick the price OF
the wool at shearing time.
Hollyhocks should be covered with
sod, set rooflike on each side; or with
a forkful of coarse manure. Beware o.
smothering and rotting them.
When COWS fail to breed there may bc
cause that can be removed, but the
only general advice that can be given in
such cases is to keep the system vigor.
GUS.
In raising poultry for profit you must
first consider the surrounding circum-
stances, the amount of capital to invest,
the space of ground to be occupied, and
the amount of help available.
Every dairy ought to be scientifically
conducted or not conducted at all. This
letting dairy run itself would seem ia
indicate that farming was so profitable
that we did not know what to do with
our money.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO PREVENT PICKLES FROM MoLprNe.

The best way to prevent pickles from
molding in the cellar is to set the jars
upon blocks, SO the air can pass under

plan to cut pieces of writing paper the
size of the mouth Of the jars containing
preserves, apple-butter, or anything
likely to mold. Grease the papers well

There seems to be considerable contro-

are tender. How can color affect the

a pure white bird, yet it ranks with the
hardest. The White Wyandotte, White

as fowls can be. If some of these
