Bcbtfj All to Pieces. A policeman
walking up Montcal"i utreet, yesterday,
beard a loud "boo-hooing," rs if a man
was deploring some great loss, and hoping
to be of some service he knocked at the
door. A man whose face showed over
whelming grief opened it and exclaimed :
She's busted all to pieces !'
4Ah ! that is sad.' replied the officer ;
'how did it happen ?'
'Fell on the floor,' was the sad answer.
'How long at;o ?'
'Not over half an hour ago.'
'And you are left with a large family ?'
Yes, there are nine of us.'
Well, it is a sad thing,' mused the offi
cer ; 'has the Coroner been here ?'
Xo what do I want with a Coroner ?'
'Why, it is usual to hold an inquest on
the body where death is the result of acci
dent' 'What body who is dead V exclaimed
the man.
'Don't I understand that your wife fell
dead on the floor V" asked the officer.
Wife dead ! No sir, she's out there pil-1
ing wood in the 6hcd. I fs my meerschaum
pipe that fci, and when I lifted up the
pieces I felt a? I'd rather have lot a two
year old colt I You don't know what com
fort I've had with her'

Pumas ouce received tho following note
signed by a Trench Count : 'Monsieur I

of a drama. Your name will figure Ly the j
side of mine ; you alone composing the '
drama, and I alone defrayiug all the ex- j
pcuses of the first representation. You j
shall have all the profits, for I work n!y '
for glory.' Iutnas replied : 'Monsieur 1 j
have never been in the habit of harnessing j
together in my carriage a horse and an ass. J
I regret, then, not to be able to accept your ;
very kind proposition.' me totim re
fponded : 'Monsieur Dumas I received
your note of rcfu9nl to unite our literary
labors. You are at libe rty to understand
your own iuterest, but do not allow your
self in the future to call me a horse.'
Bisnor Ames tel's a story of a slave
master in Missouri, in the olden time of
negro vassalage, who said to his chattel :
Twmpey, I hear you are a great preacher.'
'Yes, massa, de Lord do help me powerful
sometimes.' 'Well, Poinpcy, don't you j
think the negro steal little things on the i
plantation ?' I'se mighty "fraid they )
docs, massa.' 'Then, I'ompcy, I want i
you to preach a sermon to the negroes
against stealing.' After a brief reflection,
Pompcy replied : 'You see, massa, dat

Brown aud Smith, two gentlemen well
known to every one who walks the street,
wtre out a few days siuce when they were
tnct by an over-dressed individual who ap
peared as if he thought he was somebody,
and wanted everybody to know it. 'Do
you kuow that chap. Smith ?' said Brown.
'Yes. I know him, that is. know of liimy
'Well, who in the dhiuo of sense is he '('
Why, he's a sculptor.' 'Surely you must
be mistaken.' 'Ho may not be the kind
you mean, but I know that he chiseled a
tailor out of a suit of clothes last week.'
A KCEAL swain, visiting Dayton wilh
his doxy, were observed at evening stand
ing mar the ticket office at the depot, wait
ing for the train. It was cold and dreary
and the temperature was touching up the
girl's ears and nose with a blending of pur
ple red. 'Look here. Josh ?' she exclaimed.
petulautly, 'I'm tired standing here, I'm
half froze, lt's go to that place (ladies' j
room.) Everybody else goes in there !'
'Xo you don't !' said Josh, 'No sir ee !'
I've 6pcnt enough money now, and I aiu't
a goin' to pay to go in there !'
Axd when iu after days,' said a learned
counsel in a court, 'we meet together
around the social hearth, where I shall no
longer be oppressed by the heat and bur
den of the day, aud you, gentlemen, will
find youselvcs in other scenes than this,
at rest from arduous labors, then, as we
talk together of bygone tiroes, may you be
able te say that the first thing you did on
returning to the jury-room, was to unani
mously agtee that you could place no reli
ance whatever upon the testimony of that
man Smith.'
'Well, my son,', said a Detroit father
to his eight-year old sou the other night,
'wliat have you dono to-day that may be
set down as a good deed ? 'Gave a ioor
boy five cenU,' replied the hopeful. 'Ah,
ha ! that was charity, aud charity is always
right. 'He was an orphan boy, was ho ?'
I didn't stop to ask,' replied tho boy ; 'I
gave him the money for licking a boy who
spit in my dinner basket Vlktmt hifc
I'rtss.
A few days since, while a gentleman !
was walking behind two school children, j
le heard the boy inquire : 'Will you be at j
the party to-night ?' 'I 6hall be there,'
answered the Miss, 'but I may as well tell j
you now that your love is hopeless. Mam- J
ma is detcriuiuedf father is set, and it isn't '
right for me to encourage your attention, i
I can be a sister to you, but nothing more, j
Therefore you uccd not buy mc a valentine j
or give me any more chewing gum.' i
A JOLLY doctor called on a lady on his
way home from a dinner party, e.o full that
he could not count her pulse beats. Con- j
ecious of the cause of his difficulty, he iu a j
moment of irritation., blurted out, 'Drunk, '
by Jove !' and rushed out of the house. I
The next day the lady sent for him, and
said that she lamented that he bad discov
ered her condition, and begged that he
would keep it a secret.

stitution is that ? Why doesn't it get into
debt, like a state canal or a state prison,
r.nd be something or somebody ?
IT looks bad to see a dog preceding his
master down the street, and calmly turn
down the stairs to the first saloon be ap
proaches. It shows there is something
licking, a deplorable tendency on tho part
of the dog.

also shut out the heat, and the shutters must
depended on for security against frost. In ha
ing window plants in the bed of the windc
sills, this question of shutters Is an annoying one
in many cases. The opening and shutting of
windows require either a trooblesoroe removal of
the plants, or a danger ofbreaking them. All
this can be remedied by having a moveable bot
tom for tbe plants to stand on, and tbis bottom
workiug on a hinge on one side, and supported
by a les, when necessary, on I he other. Tbe
whole bottom, with the plants on it. then comes
out like an opening gate. This is s;ill better if
a castor be fixed on the bottom of the le?. The
plants can tnen be set out of tbe way. and moved
back again in an instant. Better still It is to
have a small stand made with four legs all on
these little wheels, sloping both ways, and with
a shelving projection that will fit into the bottom
of the window frame. This can then be shifted
round every day, so that every other day each
side will have the benefit of the full ann light ;
and every day a good view of the plants for the
sitting room. The idea is so simple, that any
intrenlons carpenter or wire worker can carry It
out. Qarilener't Monthly.
Tree Culture. Under the act of Congress
offering 1C0 acres of prairie land in the Western
States to any person who will plant 40 acres of
the land with trees and cultivate them for eight
years, about 1,100 persons bad taken np 176,000
acres of land in Minnesota np to January. By
the effort ot tho State and of associated individ
nals it i3 estimated that 30,000.000 trees are now
beinz grown in Minnesota besides those planted
under the Congressional land grant. A report
on the subject says that the cot of planting and
of cultivation is marvelonsiy small, in many
cases not exceeding two to five cents a tree. The
patents for the public lands offered by Con
gress are not issued until the end of eight years
of continued cultivation of the trees.
Setting Grafts. When once understood
"grafting" is as easy as falline off a log. Still
tbe conditions must be carefully attended to if
success is to be achieved. Stocks or limbs to be
grafted, not over two inches in diameter, should
he cnt off at the distonce of fonr inches. A One
saw shouldbe nsed. Incline t he saw so that the
stump will sbed the rain. The bark must be nn
injured. With a sharp knife smooth off the
stamp. Take a ease-knife, which is as good as
as any, place it across the heart of the stock, and
force it down with a wooden mallet. We use a
very narrow screwdriver for keeping open the
split. Shape the scion wedge-fashion both ways,
keeping the bark intact. We make a shoulder
as far up as the scion is shaved; it is not so
strong, but insures growth. Tbe inside of tbe
bark of both scion and stock must meet or cross.
Set the scion at slight angle spreading from
each other. When the stock is small and only
nee scion inserted, place a piece of wood on tbe
opposite side. If the slit does not close np, tie
ronnd a cotton string to keep it tight upon the
graft. Cover with onr wax terry part of tht cut
koo1 and flit. In three weeks' time go over tbe
grafts and rewax if needed. It is air and rain
getting in that destroy. Where tbe limb to be
grafted is from two to four inches over, it
shonld be cnt say six inches from tbe tree, and
from fonr to six scions may be inserted.
To iMPkove Plants. 'Ho shall I grow my
plants compact and symmetrical In foi m I' Is a
question frequently asked by amateur florists. ,
It is a simple matter, an is accomplished by ju
dicious pruning and cutting. Iu nearly all kinds
of flowering plants excepting those grown from
bu'bs, also in trees and shrubs , buds are formed
at the axis of the leaves aloniftihe stem or branch
es, while the growth proceeds from its termina
tion. This, in perennials, if not checked, con
tinued to grow, and usually causes a tall or un
shapely form, but by cutting off at any point, or
pinching out the terminal buds, new shota start
out at tbe leaf joints below the cut, or if already
started, commence to grow with encreased vigor,
and will, in due time, result In a better shaped
or more bushy plant or branch. Pruning or
pinching shonld be more generally resorted to
than it is, for, by observing the principal of
growth just alluded to, and varying the pruning
to the habit of kind, it is just as easy to have
yonr plants, either in the house, conservatory or
garden, of fine form, as to have them otherwiae,
and they are so much more rewarding and agree
able to work among. Little danger exists of
cutting away too much ; persons who resort to
pruning frequently err in cutting too little. Old
plants with long, leafless branches may be en
tirely reshaped by severe pruning.
Defth and Distance of Drains John John
ston, the father of nnder-draiuing in this connty,
answers a correspondent in the Tribune, that he
placed tbe drains in his stiff soils twenty five to
thirty-eight feet apart ; and two and one half
feet deep Is deep enough for economy and nse ;
that tbns deep tillage and manuring has brought
him an average of forty-two bushels per acre over
sixty-fonr acres ; that by this means the average
of the wheat crop can be made as high here as in
England, with keeping plenty of stock and mak
ing plenty of manure. He summer-fallows.
Grafts or cions may be cnt at any time dur
ing tbis month, when tbe wood is not frozen.
Cherry and plum cions, however, shonld be cut
and set as early in the month as possible, before
the rite sap and the swelling of the buds if suc
cess is desired. Apples and pears are not so de
licate, and grafting with them can be deferred.
In fact, if apple and pear cions are cut before too
far advanced, and kept fresh, they can be suc
cessfully inserted or set as late as midsummer'
or a short time before.
Seeds and Grains in a Bushel. A Womels
dorf correspondent of the Readiug Journal says
he has made a careful estimate of the number of
seeds in a bushel of different grains with tbe fol
lowing result :
Wheal grains in a bushel 806. 400
Rye grains In a bushel 750,000
Outs grains in a bushel 440.080
Corn grains iu a bushel 58,880
Clover seed iu a buxbel 13.056,000
Timothy seed in a bushel 14,680.000
HOUSEHOLD.
Destrotiso Bed Bogs -A correspondent writes:
Alter fighting them eight yeares, I learned from
a girl who had served as a chambermaid in a
large boarding honse that bugs conld be entirely
exterminated for all time. 1 immediately fol
lowed her din ctions, which wre to take grease
that was melted out of salt pork, to melt it and
to keep it melted (the vessel can be kept in a
pun of coals) and lo put it with the feather end
of a quill ia every place where I conld find a
bug. It is necessary to see that tbe bed cords
are entirely free from the pests and I will warrant
that there will be no more trouble. It is more
than thirty years since a bng has been seen In
mi honse.'
Brilliant Whitewash. Take half a bnshel
of good nnslacked lime, and slack it with boil
ing water, covering It during tbe process to keep
in the steam. Strain the liquor through a fine
sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of clean
salt, previously dissolved In warm water, three
pounds of ground rice, ground to a thin paste
and stirred and boiled hot, half a pound of pow
dered 8inish whitening, and a pound of clean
glue, which has been previously dissolved by
first soaking it well, and then hanging it over a
slow fire in a small kettle, within a large one
filled with water. Add five gallons of hot water
to the whole mixture ; stir it well, and let it
stand for a few days, covered from dirt. The
whitewash shonld be put on quite hot ; for this
purpose It can be kept in a kettle on a portabU
furnace. It is said tnal aooui one p'ni oi in
tnixtme will cover a square yard upon the or
side of a house if properly applied. Brus
more or less small may be nsed, according to
neatness of the job required. The wash ret-
IU brilliancy for many years. Therr5H!l
of the kind that will compare wltb it, either i
inside or outside walls.
