The Value of Slapp.

A local magistrate at Pottstown has
established fixed value for slaps. A
young married woman had her husband
arrested for slapping her and was
awarded one dollar apiece for five slaps,
which the ungallant husband was COM
PEELED to pay over to the insulted wife
Whether he considered them cheap at
that price is not stated, but the woman
in the case was tickled to death over the
result of her appeal to the law.
What will become now of that clause
in the statutes that permits man to
chastise his wife it is impossible to pre-
dict, but the Pottstown squire has es-
tablished precedent that threatens
serious complications with the liberties
of married men of the commonwealth.

The Owl Club Ball

Much interest is manifested in the
approaching "Owl Club" ball, which is
to take place Friday evening in Mr..
Waldron's fine hall and the proceeds of
which are to be given by the benevo-
lent owls to the Ladies' Benevolent
society to assist them in the noble work
which they are continually doing. The
word "owls'' is merely used as a con-
venient designation for few we'll
known gentlemen who have planned
the party, but who prefer to avoid the
unnecessary prominence which the
publication of their names would give.
The HERALD is informed that invita-
tons, which were mailed late yester-
day afternoon, have been sent to gen.
tlemen only, using the word in its
fullest sense, and they are of course ex-
pected to see that the attendance of
ladies is large.

MUSLIN CURTAINS.

Very few women like to use their best
lace curtains during the summer. The
curtains get dusty, and after they are
washed they never look quite as nice as
they did before. Besides, laundrying
lace curtains wears them out more than
a years wear at the windows. And so,
sooner than run the risk of spelling her
treasures, the good housewife puts away
her lace curtains in the spring aud sub
mIts to bare windows during the sum-
mer.
A very pretty substitute for the lace
curtains may be found in muslin ones.
The muslins may be white, with colored
dots in it, or it may be PLAN, white
dotted muslin which is familiar to every
one.
The colored muslin is, however, more
artistic and will not so quickly show the
dust and wear OF summer.
Fasten the curtains upon the pole or
cornice and then cut them off just long
enough to touch the floor. Now take the
curtain of the cornice and gather on all
around its edge a narrow ruifie or side
plating of plain white muslin or null.
The rufiling should be of very thin ma
terial, SO that it gives somewhat the ap.
pearance of lace.
Tie back the curtains with strips OF
the muslin, edged with the same ruffiing,
and turn bit of rulfling over the hook
which holds the curtain back, so as to
make a neat and pretty fnish.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

How Nubar Pasha Lost His Watch.

On the occasion of the Empress Eu-
genie's visit to Cairo in 1869 Nubar
Pasha was presented by Napoleon iii.
with valuable watch richly set with
diamonds. This watch he was in the
habit of laying before him on the table
during the meetings of the council, which
were generally held in the evening. At
one of the sittings the electric light sud
denly went out. When it was turned on
again Nubar's watch had disappeared.
The Pasha scrutinizc1 the faces of his
colleagues one after the other, says the
National Zeitung, but not one WINGED
under his gaze. At length he said:
"Gentlemen, the watch that, accord
ing to my custom, had laying here be-
fore me has been removed. The door is
locked on the inside, nobody has entered
the room IN the meantime and nobody
has gone out. attribute the loss of the
watch to bad joke or "A fit of abstrac-
ton on the part of one of you gentlemen.
| will now turn out the light once more,
feeling convinced that when it is turned
on again the watch will be found in its
usual place"
The light was then put out. When it
shonc brightly a minute later, not only
was the place where the watch had lam
still vacant, but Nubar's beiewelcd ink
stand, present from Victor Emmanuel,
had also vanished Nubar Pasha never
saw these articles again.

HOW TO WASH CLOTHES.

The following is Western lady's
method of doing her own laundry work:
Place your boiler on the stove contain
ing five pals of water, and when the
water is boiling hot add salsoda and
soap sufficient to make good suds. Put
the clothes that you wish to boil first in
a convenient tub, and as soon the water
is boiling pour enough over the clothes
to thoroughly wet them and let them
soak for few minutes. Now add more
water to the boiler, and as soon as it is
boiling hot wiring out the clothes in the
tub and put them in the boiler and boil
for twenty minutes. While this first
batch is boiling prepare the second lot
as you did the first. AT the end of
twenty minutes transfer the first batch
of clothes to the washing machine and
rub them few minutes while the second
batch is boiling. They will then be
ready to rinse. wash colored clothes
the same as white clothes, except new
ginghams or calicoes. Heat the first
rinsing water for the flannels; also rinse
them in warm water. Borax, salts of
tartar and salsoda makes good washing
fluid. find the secret in washing is to
have the water hot. Wringing the
clothes through the wringer several
times with boiling hot suds will take out
much of the dirt and will help very
materially. New York Herald.

has two immense establishments in New
York, and branches in Pittsburg, Har tford,
Washington and Boston. Summer suits are

Where Wolf Hunting Pays.

The wolf farming industry around
Gaeua, H., received big impetus at the
last meeting OF the County Board, which
placed bounty of ten dollars on old
wolves aud five dollars on whelps. AS
result the county has spent $500 for
wolf scalps in the last two months. One
individual brought the scalps of twenty
eight wolves to the County Clerk in one
day and received $3.50 bounty. The
blg bounty makes wolf hunting so profit
able that it is alleged that nimrods of
contiguous counties drive the wolves
over the border aud round them up in
10 Daviess, where they kill them for the
bounty. Chicago Herald.

Iu Northern mythology the cat is sup
posed to rave great influence on the
weathoi, and English sailors still say :
"The cat has gale of wind in her tail. :"
when she is unusually frisky. Witches
that rode upon .hc storms were thought
to assume the shape of cats; and in the
Harz Mountains the stormy northwest
wind is called the cats nose. The dog
is the signal of wind, like the wolf, both
of which animals were attendants upon
Odin, the storm-god of the Northmen.
The cat, therefore symbolizes the down
pouring rain, and the dog is the strong
gusts of wind that accompany rain
storm. Hence "raining cats and dogs
means heavy rain with wind. Courier

The First "Human Ostrich"

The first case on record OF a human
bcin lndiscriminately devouring every
thing that came within his reach is that
of the French boy, Tararc, who first gave
an exhibition OF the capacity and strength
of his stomach by eating full peck OF
carrots and seven bars of soap with ap-
parent relish. OF course, he was not
always boy, and as he grew up the
freakish antics of his stomach took many
varied twists. On one occasion, when
a druggists back was turned, Tarare
hastily swallowed a couple of dozen of
corks of all sizes. At last, his stomach
being full of such indigestible matter, he
became the victim of violent attacks oil
collie and was finally compelled to seek
the advice of Nj. Girard, OF the Hotel
Dieu. Girard called Il council oil phy-
sicians and 1'arare's case was thoroughly
discussed. They tried to explain to the
man what would be the final outcome OF
such performances, but were greatly sur
prlsed, if not aagcrcd and chagrined, to
find that he had actually swallowed
watch chain, seals and all, besidea bunch
of seven keys and glove hook which
were on an ivory ring nearly two lnches
in diameter; all this while the Learned
geutlsmen were lecturing him! AT the
time of this examination he regularly ate
twenty y.four pounds of beef day, be

quantities. he now entered the FrencL

allowed the regular ratious of three men
