TOO MUCH MENAGERIE.

why n Captain in the Federal Army Be-
came Very Angry.
Any one who will take upa catalogue
of names and glance casually through
it would be surprised to see how ludi-
crous are sometimes the cognomens un-
der which portions of mankind labor.
1t is useless FOR the poet to assert:
"There's nothing in a name" The un-
fortunate schoolboy who condescends
to sport the unromantic "John Jones"
or the ludicrous "Snodgrass" thinks
otherwise. Perhaps the most common
names used by men for family designa-
ton are those of animals, and when
several congregate of such stripe
there is going to be fun in the men
agerie.
An incident occurred during the civil
war which aptly illustrates this.
In the pretty country town OF War
renton there was stationed, just after
the surrender, regiment under the
command of Capt Brown.
Now, the said Capt Brown was
choleric individual. There was to be
peace, and the gallant captain had deter
mined to exercise very strict surveil-
ldlCC ONcr IuC uClCdUCA ASbo-
So one fine day he had every citizen
come up and register
Now, it happened that In the small
compass of Warrenton lived several
gentlemen of rather striking names. A
Mr.. Lyon kept restaurant. Mr.. Coon
was auctioneer, Mr.. Hare ran bar
room, while store boasted of a Mr..
Bear as its proud proprietor.
1t also happened that these gentlemen
should arrive in Che registering precinct
together.
Your name sirP" demanded the
clerk to the first who presented him
self.
Bear" was the reply, and Bear went
down on the book.
"Your name, sirP' was asked of the
second.
Coon" came the placid rejoinder,
and Coon followed Bear on the ledger.
"Your name, sir?"
Lyon the third man answered,
quietly.
The clerk looked up with puzzled
expression, but the gallant captains
nose rose in the air. and his eye began
to fash as he anxiously awaited for the
fourth man to be interrogated.
He began to imagine they were as
suming names to falsify the estimate,
and he waxed as wrathy as hornet in g
glass bottle.
"Your name, STRIP came from the
busy pen-pusher
Hare" innocently replied the un
conscious man.
This was more than the captains al
ready boiling blood could stand. HI

oath, and, shaking his clinched fist i,
the face of his astonished victims
shouted:

FARM AND GARDEN
FOR STORING FRUIT.
An Excellent House That Can BE Con

An Excellent House That Can BE Con-
structed at Small Expense.
Such houses may be constructed at
moderate expense, which, with proper
ly selected varieties, will afford fruit
through nearly the whole year 1t is
not necessary to employ ice to main
tain low temperature in hot weather,
such houses being adapted to large
establishments and requiring constant
care and much skill in their manage
mert. For the smaller and cheaper
structures the essential requisites are
non-conducting walls and ventilating
windows, provision being made for the
admission of cooi air on cool nights, to
maintain temperature slightly above
freezing, and thus preventing decay
during warm seasons. With such a
provision we have found no difficulty
in keeping such apples as the Baldwin
and Newton pippin through winter and
INTO the middle of June, and such win
ter pears as Nelis, Lawrence and
Malines into February and March. A
common practice is to erect frame of
six-inch studs and cover both sides Of
these with boards, filling the space be-
tween the boards with sawdust; but a
better way is to nail on the building
oaper studs before the boards are ap-
piled, the studs being placed just far
enough apart to give slight lap to the

ABOUT OLD SOLDIERS.

WILLIAM B. MCCREERY, United States
consul at Valparaiso, Chilli, is Michi.
gan man who served with credit dur.
ing the civil war. He was one Of the
few who succeeded in escaping from
Libby prison.
RICHARD KNOWLES, the sailor who
lashed Farragut to the rigging Of the
Hartford at the battle of Mobile bay,
says that after he had taken turn or
two with the ratline the old admiral
gruffiy asked him what he was about,
and on being told by Knowles that the
captain had directed him to make the
admiral fast the latter said: 20, all
right" and helped to fasten thu lines
about himself
Col CHARLES MITCHELL, who was
acknowledgement on Gen. Lees staff,
tells an interesting little story of Gen
Wise and the surrender at Apponattox
Wise came riding down the road furi
ously to where Cen. Lee and his stat
were grouped He was splashed with
mud from head to heels. There were
great splotches of mud dried and caked
upon his face. Addressing Gen. Lee
he asked, in theatrical voice; 'Is /,

made non-conducting in similar way,
and the room is to be protected with
double doors and double windows. The

these protecting walls, will prevent

Clover Pays Every Time.

Tho farmer cannot do better than tc
SOW freely Of clover. 1t helps wonder
fully in keeping up the productiveness
of farm, and it is strongly to be
recommended. 1t is getting to be too
common a practice for farmers to sell
off their hay, and as clover is not
wanted in market, but little is sown.
1t would be much better all around for
the farmer to grow more clover, sell
Less hay and keep more stock.-Frrm,

Intellectual Culture.

A cultivated mind may be said to have
infinite stores of innocent qualification.
Everything may be made interesting to
it by becoming subject of thought or
inquiry. Books, regarded merely as a
qualification, are worth more than all
the luXuries on earth. A taste for lit
erature secures cheerful occupation for
the unemployed and languid hours of
life; and how many persons in these
hours, for want of innocent resources,
are now impelled to coarse and brutal
pleasure. How many young men can
be found in this city who, unaccustomed
to find a companion in book, and
strangers to intellectual activity, are
almost driven in the long dull evenings
of winter to haunts of intemperance
and depraving society.-N. Y. Ledger.
