This noise attracted the attention of one of the boarders, and he told the landlady that there must be fire in that room, because he could hear it sig, and could hear an alfred snapping and popping going on in there. The landlady didn't pause to argue. She caught up pail and plunged for the place at once. The boarder followed with gigantic clothes brush. Both of them precipitated them selves into the room together. The ad- vent was so sudden that the boarder who was warming himself had no chance to dodge. And there was too much mo- mentum to the landlady and the other boarder to permit them to recover them selves in time. So there was collision. The landlady saw it coming and instinc- lively held the pail in front of her. But the disciple of Hall didn't see it as bis back was to the door and his head nearly to the floor, and before he could look up, on hearing the door fly open, the visitors were on him, and the contents of the pail over him, ard the three with pail and clothes brush came down in crash together. How the landlady extricated herself and got out of that room as quick as she did will always remain 8 mystery to the two men who stood there and glared at each other for some fifteen minutes.

A FEW HUMOROUS SHAFTS

FROM THE LATE EDITOR BAILEY'S PEN. Tn ere was a desire on the part of the | teacher to make scholar understand what the conscience is. She said, 'sWhat
 makes you feel bad after you have done
 wrongm My pop,' said the youth, feelingly.
 A youth in Danbury went off riding with questionable company, Sunday. When he came home at night, his aged
 father took him by the small of the neck,
 and, to use worldly expression, lifted" him. The young man came around to | the back of the house where his mother was, and complained bitterly about the treatment. He was inclined to feel hard toward his father, but his mother smoothed him down. She said sYou mustn't mind it, John; your father is getting old and childish
 An old Danburian whose sneeze is something like a thunder bolt, let off a charge on Balmforth avenue, Friday af- ternoon, near to a wagon in which far mer from Sugar Hollow was sitting | counting money. The horses were so startled by the noise that they sprang forward, and started off at mad speed, leaving their owner foundering in the mud and clutching desperately to roll of scrip. The old gentleman was amazed at what had happened, but he was com pletely dumbfounded when the farmer arose from the mud, and climbed fence, and looked all around. Then he came down and went up tree. The old gen. tleman thought he had struck on his head and injured his brain. Pretty soon the farmer came down from the tree, and drew g long breath, and said: sIt must have been thunder. but thought it was a gun.n
 An Essex street man cut down shade tree which was in the way, Monday. When he got it about ready to fall, he hitched rope to it, and his wife and wife's mother and father and himself got hold of the rope and went out on the walk, and commenced to pull it. But the tree didn't budge. Then he told them to keep pulling while he took the axe and started it little. So they bent all their muscle upon it, and opened their mouths and poked out their eyes as people always do on such occasions, and he hit the tree 8 good clip with the axe. But it didn't budge. Then he jumped over the fence and said: .Gi' me hold of that rope" And just then, in very unexpected manner, the tree came over, and not being able to catch themselves in time the entire family went off the walk, and screaming and kicking into the mud. The old gentleman lost his spectacles, the old lady ruined three dollarhead dress, the wife lost her slip pers, and the owner of the tree broke his nose in the middle, and knocked pretty much all the hide from one ear. He says Heaven is his home.
 Dr Hall says those people who are troubled with cold feet at bedtime should bend over and smartly slap the calves of their legs for about five min- utes.

THE PATRON AND BUTrER-MAKER.

It is g matter of importance whether 8
 butter-maker should take all the blame for poor butter that he produces in creamery or dairy. While the butter
 maker and patron look upon each other
 with distrust and suspicion, the interests of the two are mutual; the success of the one mainly hinges on the manner in
 which the other does ais share of the work, and neither can derive the great est pleasure and profit from the business unless both work together, and then both will receive the highest rewards. In 8 creamery or dairy, each has his duty to perform, in order to make the business successful. In the first place, the butter of creamery or dairy occupies very responsible position, and it is the duty of the manager to secure the service of q butter-maker who thoroughly under stands the business, because the price the patron gets for his milk or cream. de- bends upon the price the creamery gets for the butter, and poor butter-maker cannot make firsU-class article. In the first place, he should take course in some dairy school where the most inn proved machinery is used, and learn the best methods for producing the finest butter in the most economical manner, and when taking charge Of creamery, he should be fair and just between pa. irons, and should always be ready to aid and advise as to feeding of the dairy COW, and the best methods of handling and caring for the milk or cream more than this, he is under obligation to conduct his business in a thoroughly business like manner. because the prosperity of his patrons depends to greateE or less extent upon his effort in this direction On the other hand, the patron has duties more numerous and no less binding and } think # will be safe to say that the suc- cess of the creamery depends as much upon him as upon the butterrmaker.
 In the first place the patrons duties be- gin with the breeding Of tho dairy COW, md then to the feeding, which does not snd until the milk is delivered at the sreamery in good condlbion. Firstof all. he cows should hsve the best of care,

MAKING HEEs LAY Ix WINTER.

There is general complaint around here that hens are not laying. The neighbors are surprised to hear that my flock of B hens are laying from eight to twelve eggs day all winter, and won der why theirs don't. Of course I am asked what they are fed and all about it,
 and of course there is no secret-they
 are fed and watered regularly and kept in moderately warm house-that is all.
 The hens have warm breakfast every
 morning. Now, don't shade your hands
 and say you would not bother with that,
 for really it is no bother at all. When is filled with water, and by the time I
 am ready for it, it is boiling hot. It is
 poured into large pail with aspoonful of cayenne pepper (this only every other
 morning), then the pail is filled with ground feed, bran, corn meal and oats,
 until it is as stiff as it can be stirred. We have long, V-shaped trough Gan old sheep-trough), and into this the mess is turned.
 At night feed of mixed whole grain is given corn, oats and. wheat-and it is fed early enough so the hens can scratch it out of the chaff and cut straw which covers the floor. They had pailful of
 warm water every day, and the table scraps that can be spared. All the meat
 scraps especially are. given them, and
 the otfal from our frequent hog killings. Pounded crockery they eagerly de- your; also egg-shella, of which they always have all there are and have never eaten an egg that I know of. Ashes for dust bath and to scratch and pick over, as they delight to do for the bits
 of charcoal, are provided, and that is E all.
 The house is nothing fancy, but has two windows on the south, and is lined with buildingpaper throughout. have not told you yet what breed my hens are, and do not think can. They are all kinds, mixed and, by the way, I have heard that that kind were good layers) -some Langshans, few mother | ly old Brahmas that I am keeping on year after year to mother my little turkeys; some Plymouth Rocks, and a sprinkling of Brown Leghorns.
