Tenant Paints the House.

A man recently took house upon q lease in a certain crescent in London without examining the terms of his agreement as closely as he should. Af- ter time the landlord called upon him and pointed out that he was bound to do all the outside painting at certain intervals. He protested, but 1t was "so nominated in the bond" and there was no help for him. After a good deal of thought he hired the painters and directed them to paint the whole of the front of the house red. white and blue-in stripes.
 When 1t was finished the neighbor- hood-it was rather a fashionable part was up in arms and the landlord was frantic. The tenant politely ex- plained to him that there was nothing in the agreement about the color and that red, white and blue, in stripes, was his favorite combination, but he thought he might, perhaps, be better pleased with the painting of the back, which he proposed to color green, with yellow spots.
 The landlord, who we'll knew that not another house could be let in the crescent if he carried out his threat, nearly had fit at the idea, and with in a week the tenant had new lease, in which the landlord undertook to do all the outside painting himself.

Etiquette in Mexico.

William Headin, United States con- sular agent at Puebla, Mexico, writes in recent report:
 Tt requires temerlty and no small amount of self-confidence on the part of an immigrant to invade many of the communities of Mexico The man, how. ever, who comes from the United States dares enter anywhere and feels that he should be received as an hon. ored guest. This, however, is the land Of manana-to-morro for pur- poses of proscrastnation, as many er- roneously suppose, but to learn who you are. what's your business, and which is the path of interest and gain.
 "A stranger might easily be ostra- cized, isolated and debarred upon com ing among such communities if, owing to his habits, his life. or some idiosyn- crasy of manner, he failed to come in touch with them, to gain their confi- dence, and to secure their kindly sym pathies. A good letter on introduction from some near friend of theirs, which speaks you fair, is of great value, &C., credits at once and obliterates manana.
 "The newcomer makes all advances. Madam Calderon de la Barca, the wife of the Minister of Spain to Mexico, writes: There is one piece of etiquette entirely Mexican, nor can I imagine whence derived, by which 1t is ordain- ed that all new arrivals, whatever their rank, foreign ministers not ex- cepted, must, in solemn print, give mo- tice to every family of any considera- tion in the capital that they have ar rived, and put themselves and their homes at the disposition of the resi- dents, failing in which etiquette the newly arrived family will remain un- noticed and unknown"

That Hand of Yours.

It Is profound study. No instrn- ment devised by man compares with it for complication. It is a hammer, a wise, a forceps, a hook, spring, a weight; it pushes, draws in, and the fingers alone contain elements of chs- els, gouges, and all the tools a sculptor requires in modelling From the elbow to the digital extremities it's move- ments are produced by nearly fifty muscles. So complicated is the cord age of a human hand that expert anatomists can hardly keep in remem- brance it's intricate mechanism. With 1t all the emotions of the mind may be both manifested and intensified. How could a Freichman talk with his hand tied? The hand is the prime minis ter of the brain. It is the souls agent in the accomplishment of its designs It is wonder of wonders

"Talk about close-fsted men," said the clerk at the bargain counter, "why, that woman just going out at the door could give cards and spades to any man l ever saw and win in walk"
 "Oh, it's woman's nature to haggle over prices, you know," rejoined the floor walker.
 But she didn't haggle," said the clerk. "She selected an article and paid for it without a word, but dur ing the 19 minutes I kept her waiting for her change she never looked at an other thing in the store. 'Fraid she'd see something she wanted. 1 suppose"

The First Gas Machine.

A gas machine is generally under
stood as an apparatus for producing
carbureted air, which may be used
like carbureted hydrogen or coal gas
for illuminating purposes. When gaso-
line, which Is very light and volatile
product of petroleum, comes in contact
with the air 1t is dissolved by the air
in other words, the air becomes charg-
ed with Its vapOrs to such an extent
that the air and vapOrs form a fairly
good substitute for coal gas, requiring
slightly different burner. Oliver P.
Drake, n philosophical instrument
maker Of Boston, was the first to use
gasoline for this purpose. The Drake
machine was made In the form Of
cylinder with partition through the
center. One end was provided with a
water meter wheel driven by a weight
and clockwork. This meter wheel
pumped air. which was taken into the
other end of the cylinder, where it came
In contact with the gasoline, the gaso-
line being constantly presented to the
air by II rotating evaporator made of
wicking. The air in passing took up suf-
hcient Of the vapOrs to enable it to be
used for illuminating purposes. These
machines went into use to limited

One Way to ForeteH weather

There were weather prophets befOr,
the weather bureau. A correspondent
of the Springfield Republican says that
once when Dudley Lcavitt. for many
years the maker of the New Hamp.
shire Almanac. was driving nOrthward
through Nottingham he encountered a
farmer hOeing by the roadside.
"A fine morning." said Leavitt.
yes" was the answer, but it's 60
ing to rain before long"
There was no hint Of rain in the sum-
mer sky. but before Leavitt had got
through Northwood narrows a heavy
shower came down upon him. Wish
Ing TO find out how the farmer could
predict so exactly. he turned back and
found him out in the field again
after the rain.
II should like to know" said the
astronomer of Winnepesaukee, chow
you could tell so exactly what the
weather was going to be-
well" said the sage. when my old
ram scratches his ear with his left
hind foot IN the morning I'm certain
twill rain before night. Besides, II
that old fool Of bud Leavitt says In
his almanac, Fair weather may be ex-
pected,' know twill be just the con.
trary."

COttonaeed Meal.

Analyses made in the South Carolina
experiment station laboratory show
that first class cottonseed meal con-
tains at least per cent of nitrogen,
equivalent to S.5 per cent of ammonia,
about 20 per cent of available phos-
phOric acid and about 1.5 per cent of
potash soluble in water. 1t contains in
addition about 2 per cent of phOsphOr-
ic acid and 3 per cent of potash sOlu-
Bile only in acid. With regard to meal
containing considerable quantity Of
hulls and less certainly than 61S per
cent of nitrogen. equivalent to $50 per
cent of ammonia. it is to be said that
while bulls can be advantageously fed
when mixed with meal most feeders
will doubtless prefer to purchase con-
centrated product and make the mix
ture with bulls themselves. Farmers
when purchasing meal especially if it
Is to be used for fertilizing purposes,
will no doubt be governed by the per-
centage of nitrogen or ammonia which
the product is guaranteed to contain.
