And at the Ending Thereof Came the Turn
ing of the Worm.
"Now, Barabbas was a-publisher."
A butcher calls at the door and offers
fine sweet ham, neatly cased. The
mistress agrees to buy it, saying, how
ever, that it is against her rules to pay
for any article until the whole Of it is
eaten The butcher, knowing that there
are many carts on the road laden with
hams just as finely cured as his, rue
fully accepts the terms, and when
price is settled departs
After keeping the ham for two years
in dusty, musty cellar the housekeeper
returns it TO the butcher soiled and
stale, saying that, after all, her family
prefers fresh meat, and she has decided
not to cook the ham.
One spring morning farmer knocks
at the kitchen door Of a city house, with
basket of freshly laid eggs for sale. The
mistress expresses delight mt obtaining
them, declaring, however, that it is her
invariable custom to pay for articles aft.

then only such price as she thinks fit
Expecting an early settlement under
those conditions and being in need of
cash for the interest on the mortgage on
his farm, the man accepts the lady's
terms and departs. Week after week
and month after month go by, but no
payment is made for the eggs. When
he calls at the house to inquire, the
maid informs him that her mistress bids
her say that the great variety of season
able articles of food has prevented the
use of the eggs, but that she hopes very
soon to find a place for them on her
menu. In the autumn the farmer is sur
prised to have the maid hand him the
basket saying that as the eggs have
lost their freshness and are uneatable
her mistress returns them, with thanks
for the opportunity for purchasing and
hopes that the farmer will call whenev-
er he is town and allow an examination
Of his stock.

Company, of this city, of which Mr.. l..
w. Young is manager, report that the re-
suits obtained are remarkable. There
are no records of any brick tests giving
such high results. This is important in
view of the fact that the hills that sur
round this city abound in alumina shales
that combine all the desirable qualities
for high grade of bricks. The brick
made from this clay ore not only strong
but they are superior in finish to brick
made elsewhere. There are three plants
already engaged in manufacturing brick
and the number will increase as the
| quality of the brick becomes known to
| the builders.-Bradford correspondence
to Oil City Derrick. The sample brick
made from the Tionesta shale is consid-
cred of even greater strength than the
| Bradford article and is of better color.
