Points on n Lobster.

A lobster is found in the water. but not alH.ays-ia fact. some of the most successful lobsterS that ever lobste1ed were born and raised oa dry land.
 C:se caa usually tell a lobster by ita actions. For instance, if q young nan enters a crowded drawing roon and walks all over the feet of tAe assem- bied guests without their consent or approval the young man at Cace be. comes q lobster
 The fathers of Holsters usually have money h fact. 1t is difficult to be q real stand ro and fall down lobster unless the lobsters father has money.
 It is an odd fact that many girls seem to admire lobsters. It would seem that girl ought to know better. but she doesn't until she marries a lobster. Then she tlmbles.
 Lobsters have no brains. If you don't believe 1t. split q lobster's head open with an ax if you don't care any thing aboGt the aX.

According to a historian. this is the way the first silver wedding came about. It was in the time of Hugues Caput. Two of his most faithful serv- ants. a man and woman. had grown gray in his employ. How could he re- ward them?
 Calling the woman, he said: Your service is great, greater than the mans, whose service is s"eal enorgh. for the woman always finds work harder than a man. and therefore will give you q reward. At your age l.now of none better tha:1 a dowry and q husband. The t,9wrv is here. Thjs farm from this time forth belongs to You.

The pepper plant is propagatod by cuttings. comes into bearing three or four years after 1t is set and yields two crops annually for about l2 years. When few of the berries change from green to red. all of them are gath cred, because if they were allowed to ripen any longer they would be less pungent. To fit them for market they are dried. separated by rubbing with the hands and cleaned by winnowing The black pepper of commerce consists of the berries thus prepared.

Little "Betty PaImer.v

Ex-senator Palmer's eldest daughter,
now Mrs. Matthews, was, during the
rebellion, the heroine of an exciting &C.
currence, which is told and retold in
Illinois to this day.
She was little Betty" Palmer, and
only 16 in the wartime days, when her
rather was brought back after the
fighting at Island No. 10, wounded. He
was attended by a negro servant,
whom he left in Carlinville when he re.
turned to the front. There was a law
against bringing slaves into Illinois at
that time, and after General Palmer
returned to his command certain high.
spirited but not warlike gentlemen of
Carlinville determined to teach the
negro servant a lesson for his temerity
IN breaking the states law. Accord.
ingiy, they rode up to the generals
mouse one night, neatly masked. and
asked for the negro. Mrs. Palmer was
Ill, there was houseful of little chill
dren, and, except the negro, no man
about the place. He was just stepping
out the door to deliver himself into the
hands OF the men. who meant to whip
him numerically, when little Betty
Palmer ran out. She caught the negro
by the arm, pushed him into the house.
slammed the door, and babe him lock
IL. Then she walked calmly out upon
the piazza and began to give the mob
several pieces OF her mind.
She was just slip of girl, but she
wasn't afraid of anything on earth.
She called this man and that by name
and flung their cowardice in the faces
OF all of them. They skunk away one
by one, and the girl followed them
down the steps and over the lawn to
the front gate. She dared them to
take off their masks. She dared them
to come back. She jeered at them as
long as they were in sight, and called
after them when they went. And then
when it was all over she walked back
10 the house and promptly went into
Mysteries.

a citizen who admits that he is con-

That seems to me beautiful life
1t must be one long, sweet song, as
the poet puts 1t. have never known
any Of them personally" he continued,
signing, "but / have watched them all
my life, and they fill me with yearn-
ing to be a livery stable man. When I
was a boy had to pass a large livery
stable on my way to school It had an
immense double door, which was never
closed, and inside was a cool, dim
vista of stalls and buggies in rows.
-Four men were always seated at the
threshold. tilted back in cane-bottomed
chairs. They were large, well-fed. con.
tented-looking men, and what i'm.
pressed me particularly was their air OF
placid abstraction. They never said
anything to one another, but sat there
calmly gazing into space and chewing
straws. ] remember distinctly that the
sight of them always filed me with
rebellion against work and made nv
school tasks seem all the more abhor.
