Mixed Advice.

Senator Frye. in an address at Cas-,
tine, Me, told u story Of a Castine
editor. !
In your beautiful and quaint town
of Castine," he said. there was once
an editor who received, at about this
season. two inquiries from subscribers.
THE first subscriber was the mother.
of twins. and she wanted to know how
to bring her little ones safely through
the trying ordeal of teething. The
SECOND subscriber. a fsriner, wanted
to know how 10 rid his orchard of
grasshoppers.
The editor in the next weeks issue,
answered these questions to the best
OF his ability, but unfortunately he
mixed up the sobriquets under which
the two inquirers had requested him
to address them.
'Thus it came about that the mother
of teething twins got for answer:
"'Cover them carefully with straw,
and set fire to them, and h little
pests. after jumping about in the
flames "a few minutes, will speedily be
settled
ITO the farmer pestered with grass
hoppers the EDITORS advice was:
"'Give a little castor oil and rub
their gums gently every three hours
with a bon ring"
