The fact that three young men of Ma rine City, Mich., are at the point of death by reason of having their "anatomies filled with bird shot and rock salt'' while participating in charivari party, ,as stated in press dispatch, is to be regretted, but the young men should have known better. The Hartford Times is right when it says "The everlasting fool who didn't know it was loaded is more than e1ualed in num- bers by the rural idiot who thinks it is funny to join in 'calithumpian' serenade to some newly married pair whose matri- monial affairs are thought to be matter of public interest"

N. Y. Dispatch A good way to amusc a sick child who cannot sit up or enter tain itself in ways ordinarily dear to the infantile soul is to arrange mirror on an easel in such a way as to reflect the ob- iects to be seen from the window. If no easel is procurable an upright stick fas- tened to the back of a chair will answer the purpose and the mirror can be tilted at various angles and moved backward and forward to bring different portions of the outdoor scene into view. If the child is too weary to care for the moving pan orama of the street, the glass can be made to reflect the blue of the sky or the bill lowy clouds, which will generally have a soothing effect, and make tired eyelids drop and tired little bodies relax into health-giving slumber. sgi

The Comte de Paris, whose death oc- cured at his London home on the morn ing of the Sth inst, was the acknowledged head of the French royalists. He was the grandson of Louis Philippe, was exiled during Napoleon's reign, but was per, mitted to return to France and to occupy seat in the chamber of deputies during the presidency of M. Thiers. But when the law banishing members of the royal house, specially aimed at him was passed he retired to England, and afterwards took up his residence at Stow House, London. His son, the Due d' Orleans, succeeds him as the head of the royalist party.

 From the Journals report of the Rockville fair: w. D. Holman, Holland had his splendid herd of Devons, twenty seven in all, and they attracted much at tention. The herd consists of thorough breds and grades, and is prize winning aggregation. The three year-old bull is probably the best Devon in the state, ant the COWS, several of them, have grea records as milkers. MT. Holman's yoke of cattle, weighing $500 lbs., were tn, handsomest on the grounds. Denmal Thompson, of the "Old Homestead" com pany, recently tried to buy this pair fo that play.

 BEANS. ..

A clergyman in the eastern part of the state once declared in his pulpit that baked beans were ''the devils own food. 1" His logic was: People eat baked beans for Sunday mornings breakfast; they are sleepy in church; the devil wants them to sleep in church, therefore, baked beans are satanic. The logic is faulty, but it could be matched in some sermons. In spite of all the ridicule that has been heaped upon New Englanders for their bean eating proclivities, the use of this leguminous food increases rather than diminishes, and any hotel or restaurant in New York or in cities farther west which does not include baked beans in it's menu is liable to lose its popularity.
 Those who know beans say that there is short crop this year. American farm- CTS never raise enough to supply the American bean-eater, although the prod uct is estimated at 800, 900 barrels. This year the drouth has damaged the bean crop in this country, and in Canada late planting and early frost have cut into the supply. In Europe also the crop is short, and it is very likely that we shall have to pay well for our Sunday morning break lasts before another season. The quan- tity annually imported during the last few years has ranged from 300, ,000to 35O,- 900 sacks of 22O pounds each, and they come mainly from Holland, Italy, Austria, Hungary and Roumania, but in all these countries the bean crop is short this year. The new tariff reduces the duty on beans from forty-one cents a bushel to 20 per Cent. ad valorem, but the public will not get benefit this year as the shortage will serve to keep up the price. The Amer ican crop is grown mostly in New York, Wisconsin and Michigan, but hereafter the Canadian competition will be so strong that it is likely that the farmers will turn to more profitable crops.

There was in Yeda poor man who had small sum of money. He had no strong box to keep it in; and it occurred to him that if he dropped it inside an empty bean-sauce cask, no one would ever think of looking there for it. Now this bean sauce is much used by poor people; but the smell is very strong and somewhat offensive to persons of delicate taste. Some ingenious thief, after all, did dis cover the hiding place, for one day the poor man found his money missing. He went immediately to Oka, and told him of the loss, adding that he thought it must be laid to the charge of some one of the neighbors. So Oka summoned all the poor mans neighbors for the next day, and when they had appeared in court, Oka announced, "In my opinion it is one of you that has stolen this money from the bean-sauce cask, and, if that is so, l shall be able to tell by the smell of the thief's fingers. So let each one come up here and present his hands in turn" Just as he had said this he noticed one of the men in the back of the courtroom sud- densy put his hand to his nose and smell it. "That man over there is the thief !' immediately exclaimed the judge, point ing to the man. Oka knew, you see, that if the thief was really among the crowd, his guilty conscience would probably sug- gest to him the thought, "Will my hands really betray me?"

 Can monkeys smoke? is a question which may now be answered in the affirm ative. The discovery was made at the Jardin des Plants in Paris by band of mischievous urchins, who freely distrib- uted to the occupants of the monkey house lighted cigarettes. They took to the weed very kindly, and puffed away to the great delight of the boys, until the advent of the dismayed keepers, and the subsequent appearance of the lads at the police sta- tion proved to them that mankind still means to maintain monopoly as regards the consumption of tobacco. In the mean time the monkeys, deprived of a new pleasure, are inconsolable.

Manchester Herald: The department of Cheney Brothers business which will be most affected by the new tariff law is that of preparing the cocoons and manu- featuring them into carded silk. Hereto fore they could manufacture carded silk cheaper than they could import it, but the new tariff bill reduces the duty on carded or combed silk 70 per cent, and it is question whether this branch of the business can be profitably carried on in competition with foreign manufacturers. The duty on spun silk in skeins or on beams has been reduced from B to 30 per cent, 8 cut of 1429 per cent. The duty on thrown silk is unchanged. On vel vets and plushes containing, exclusive of selvedges, less than 75 per cent. in weight of silk, the duty has been raised 8. 27 per cent. And on velvets and plushes con- taining more than 70 per cent. in weight of silk it has been reduced 6S.58 per cent. The duty on on dress and piece goods has been reduced from 90 to 45 per cent, a reduction of 10 per cent.
 Raw eggs are frequently ordered, as when they can be taken and retained by a ick person they are extremely nourish- ing, simply because the albumen, not hav- ing been hardened, is the sooner digested Many, however, cannot take raw eggs as usually given, that is, beaten up with milk. The following mode is a good one; the appearance of the dish is so nice that an invalid will often be induced to try it. It is free from oiliness and clean to the palate. Put the yolk of an egg in to basin with a teaspoonful of white su- gar and tablespoonful of orange or lem on juice, and beat lightly together with a fork. Put the white on a plate, add a pinch of salt, and then with a broad bladed knife beat it to a stiff froth. Then, as lightly as possible, mix all to- gether in the basin, and as lightly trans fer to & clean tumbler, which it will near ly fill if properly made. This must not stand in warm place, or it soon becomes liquid and loses it's snowy look.

The late William G. Twombly, of Port land, long unique figule in the piano trade, had a fixed price for each of his pianos, and he would not lower it for any customer, no matter how importunate. ''Early in my business career" said MT. Twombly, not long ago, II would oc- casionally ask more than a piano was worth, and then, when the customer tried to beat me down, would take off what l had added to the regular price. The way I was cured of that was this: A lady came in one day and inquired the price of a piano, which had always sold for $4OO. Expecting her to ask for reduction, ] told her the price was $45O. Very well ], said she, I like the piano, and you may seAt it up this afternoon. My husband VIII give you check for the amount to- morrow I was puzzled what to do,' said MT. Twombly, "but finally told her that the piano would cost her only $400 Since that time have never asked more than a piano was worth and I have never allowed myself to be beaten down."
 The making of cider for present use and vinegar has begun. The regular season of cider making does not begin un, til about October 15, but owing to the large amount of windfalls due to the un- usually early ripening of the fruit, the farmers are putting them to good use fol for vinegar purposes. During warm weather it is impossible to keep the apple juice sweet for any length of time, and in addition the proportion of acid is so much greater than that of sugar in early apples that the tendency to turn quickly to win, egar is much greater than in the late ap. ples. Contrary to last springs expecta. tions the prospect for an abundant croI of cider apples are very good. The storms which occurred during the bud ding period created havoc among the grafted trees, however, and the fruit from these trees, authorities say, will be scarce and high-priced hereabouts this year.
