The Craze lor Light Colored Cigars. To supply the demand for li;:ht col ored cigars la one of the greatest diili cultlcs manufacturers hhve to contend v itL. This demand is c.iuaed bv a mis taken Idea ttat color is an important factor in the strength o? the weed. As a matter of fact, the color of a cigar cuts but little figure in regard to the strength, except so f.r as disease might fleet it. It is well known that In all the rentable world there is more or less sickness or disease in plants. A llorist will go around among hid shrubs and plants clipping off here and there a decayed or dying leaf. Frequently there may be sen leaves droopicg trom a healthy catbige, the plant so ofttn associated with the manufacturer of the cigar, and these leaves are fided to a sickly light color ; in the saniei man ner is the tobacco plant affected, and the grower, like the maker anxicu-i to cater to the popular demand, secures from h:3 crp such material as will make the light colored stock desired. Iu tobacco growing as in any of the ordinary farm products, crops will vary in their health and abundance. The natural color of the tobacco leaf when In a healthy state is darkish ; continu ing1 to deepen as the weed ripens, but the grower will not wait until nature has had her run, and as early as l.e dares, cuts the leaves that the market may be supplied with the favorite shade of stock. It will be seen what a lack of knowledge of the fieta may cause a demand for sickly, half lipe stuff, ill flavored and most unhealthy. Cigar dealers, as a general thins, labor assid uously against this fancy, but their trials hrsve been many duriDg the last four or Qve years, as the tobacco crcp has been during that time, exceeding ly healthy and, in natural consequence, rather dark in color. One dealer says the fancy for light cigars has become so persistent that he often wakes up at nights and hears himself talking to a customer on this subject, trying to con vince him that he is asking to be served with aa inferior class of goods. Office Kale. 1 Gentlemen entering this office will leave the door wide cpen and keep the r hats on. 2. Those having no business should remain as long as possible, take a chair and lean against the wall ; it will pre serve it, and may prevent its falling opoa us. 3. Centlemen are required to smoke; especially durtng cilice hours; tobacco will be supplitd. 4. Spit on the floor, as the spitcons are only for ornament. .1. Talk loud or whistle, especially when engaged. If this has not the de sired effect, sing. And if that will not answer, then dance, or tell seine old story; long ores pieferred. 6. Put Vuur ffst on the tables, or lean against the drak; it will Le of great assistance to thase ritir.g on them. 7. As this ij an cilice exclusively for your accommodation, call frtquenily when you have leisure especially when we are busy ; then 'tis very pleasant. 5. In making jour visits, nevt r come aine- tha old adage "tho u;re the merrier,'4 The 2parrnw JIusl (it. The Knglish sparrow is cow w:tLout honor, esn ic its cwn country. F.nui ers in Ergland are fully convinced that he possesses all the b id q:i;vl:tios 'hat he has been chars-d with here, and have Bet to work sympathetically to rid them selves of him and his brood. In vari ous counties, but es;ec!.il!y in Cneshir?, boys are making wases out of prize money that is paid by the authorities, six cents a dozen for heads and eggs. The Farmers' Ciub of London has sta ted the case against the spirrow,and no bodvhes ventured to make reply. II is quarrelsome, noiay, dirty, and grc-edy; be plajsbavuc in the garIen, frctu cro cus bed to the grer-n pea vices. He drives aw iy the really insectivorous birds, and then lives at tho ext-n3a cf the garden and kitchen, leaving the cat erpillars and other pesra to increase ar.d multiply as they rjever did belore. It is seriously Ltated that tlie sparrow causes & loss to agricultuial Kngland from for ty to fifty million dollais per year. Kveky farmer should have a nice lit tle patch of strawberries, raspberries, a lew grape vines, etc., enough for his own use. These can be attended to I when working in the field is impossi ble, and the benefits derived will far more than compensate him for all his trouble and expanse. The best varie ties should be selected, however, and much care taken to give them the prop er cultivation. Too many farniera neg lect these little things, n::u allow their patches to grow up with weeds, and then because a luxuriant crcp is not the result they say they are more bother than they are worth, and that they do not amount to anythiig anyhow, while if the proper care had been Uken of them tne result would have been en tirely differert.

The dog knows ex actly what time the paper-is due. and is on hard promptly at half-past five each afternoon without orders from any one. A Charlotte Ilarbor Fla. lady baa a small green frog with its home in the calyx of a lily in hr room. The little fellow is quite a pet, and perches high on the pistil of the flower to receive bis dinner, consisting of flies fad to him from the point of a pin. A California tramp has a novel way of getting money. lie fixes up his arm with caatile soap and caustic to repre sent a scald, and begs for aid on the ground that he just met with an acci dent. Tie is said to have worked this game successfully for four years in var ious parts of the State. Farmer Gridth melled something taming and heard the crackle of flames as be drove borne from Whitewater, Wis., the other day, and, turning around, saw that the straw In the bot tom of bis wagon was all on fire. He thinks that the rays of the sun were focused by a bright new tin milk can that be was taking borne and set the straw a-burnicg. ' A little boy, a cripple, was being wheeled past a Center avenue store in Cay City. Mich., when a gentleman who noticed the unfortunate child, said : "That little boy's misfortune is the re sult of a kiss. When he was a baby bis sister, on coming into the house, went up behind the high chair in which be was seated, and. catching his bead sud denly, gave it a turn and kissed bim. The shock injured bis spine, and be is going through the world a cripple for life." An old man who hanged himself some time ago in the Ternes quarter of Paris. although very wealthy and in good health, was a confirmed misanthrope. He lived in a shabby room at the top of the bouse, the concierge of which ad ministered to bis wants. The old man took a pleasure in tormenting the con cierge, and when he made away with himself the latter could not help utter ing an exclamation of satisfaction ; but be soon began to profess compas sion for his old enemy when be beard that be had left bim a legacy. He de clared with tears in bis eyes that be was a worthy person after all. and v. ith eager curiosity asked the amount of property bequeathed bim. The fol lowing missive was placed in bis band : "lam disgusted with life, so I am quit ting it. I leave to my concierge my portrait and the rope with which I have banged ajyaelf." Friendships. Friendship is a matter of character, rather than a matter of choice. Even though a friendship may be all on one ride, cause for it must always be on both sides. No true man can be a true friend to ano'ber, unless that other has character enough to inspire his friend ship, nor even in such a case unless he himself bas character enough to per ceive that character in the other. Friendship does not idealize a friend, but it does recogn'z) a friend's idea!. A friend sees the bvstself of his friend, whatever may be that friend's exterior, or whatever others may see, or may fall lo see. ia that friend. Thus it is that a friend often sees in a friend what r.o one else can see, yet which id not au illus ion. And In thus seeing the noble, the friend gives a hint of bis nobleness and is ennobled by bis seeing. If others had his eyes, or as keen eyes as his, they al so could see and would honor that which be sees in his friend. "In tho cbanzes which, thank God, must take place when the mortal puts on immor tality," savs George Macdonald, "shall we not feel that the nobler onr friends are, the more they are themselves ? that the more the idea of each is car ried out in the perfection of beauty, the more like they art to what we thought them in our most exalted moods. to that which we saw In them in the raiest moments of profoundest communion, to that which we beheld throuRh the veil of all their iinperpfc tions when we loved tb-m 'he truest." It is good to know a character wbicb can be thus recognized and honored. It is good to have the character which can thus recognize and honor that wbicb is worthy when It is before one. No mere wish or longing can bring all this about ; but when the opportunity is here, what a loss it would be to loose it! A Convenient Cattle Stall. Each animal requires a space three to four feet in width, according to size. The platform upou which the animal is to stand should be about five feet long, including a space of one foot in width slated, for the hind feet to stand upon. The spaces between the slats should not be more than three-fourths of an inch in width. Every slat should te in a vertical direction. Under this (Rating a space four to six inches in depth is left open as far back as the solid floor. All that Is liquid falls beneath, and can be scraped out with a hoe or too! made for the purpose. Behind the stalls a trench of eighteen inches or two feet in wid'h, and about eight in deptb. is left for collecting the manure. Next to this again is left a walk of convenient idtb tbrougb the stable. If desired another set of stalls can be arranged in a corresponding position to this walk. The use of stancbioas of course is op tional. Many prefer the strap aroujd the stail fastened to a chain or rope. In laying out farms and in thaping lelds the corcmoQ, ruling practice is to give thftu a square form or as nearly so as practicable, in order to economize fencing. A ten acre lot, for example, if tquare, will men-sure forty rods on eat h of the four sides and reqnite for i ' a entire inclosuie 100 rods of fencing. JJy altering its form and making it twice as long and baif as broad it will nquiie rods of boundary fence. But the oblong form hts some eicial advantages, as every farmer knows, saving considerable time in plowing, harrowing and working with the culti vator. Si ik-cnn.E for the Fksejiak. fc-WH.

A irnthful chiU ia generally strictly veracious, and does Dot comprehend any deviation from tbe letter of trutb ; so that is often necessary, to save ic from moral confusion, to explain what may eem to it like untruth. If it becomes impossible to keep a promise made to a child, the hinderiDj circumstances ought to be mentioned, or at least it should ba explained that there are such. Agaio, the l:b!e command, parent, provoke not your children to wrath, is of ten forgotten, while tbe correspond ing one, Children obey your parents, is quoted and enforced. A great deal of injustice is often done, moreover, in settling disputes among children, by not allowing for provocation received. A most obvious practical rule in tbe training of children is, always take for granted that tbey mean to be good. If to give a dog or a child a bad name is an excellent receipt for making bim deserve, to let it be a matter of course that be is to behave properly is to go a considerable extent toward having bim behave so. I have seen mothers actu ally put into a child's bead to be naughty when it never occurred to the ittle one to be so. In this connection 1 would offer a protest against akind of infant literatmensually illustrated, in which greedy Tom and slovenly Jane, cruel Peter and vain Tolly are vividly described in tbe act cf making them selves unpleasant. A boy need not ba a baby because be does not know at 10 what bis grand father did know at 20. The modest simplicity and the fresh and tender bloom of girlhood no it has not all dis appeared yet 1 I believe that a child who. without being coddled and "babi Ced." yet is kept a child so long as, ac cording to its years, it is called one, bas a physical advantage over the child too early initiated into tbe knowledge of manhood or womanhood. Parents do not realize the physical wear and ter that accompnay premature development of the brain ; and the undue tax upon the nervous and vital forces, when a child engages ia the occupations and amusements of a grown person, leaves it, in maturer years, low in physical re sources just when it has most call upon tbem. Food For Thought. Time wasted is existence used in life. It Is tbe sunshine itself that makes every shadow. Better go to bed snpperless than to get op in debt. The worl "impossible" is the moth er tongue of little souls. Man cannot live exclusively by intel ligence and self-love. Zeal without judgment is like gun powder in the hands of a child. A natnra! will plowed up is tbe best soil for producing luxuriant crops. Happiness is the wayside flower grow ing by the highway of usefulness. Conscience is the voice of tbe soal ; the passions ate tbe voice of tbe body. We cannot expect perfection in any one, but we may .demand consistency of every one. The man who minds his own business and constantly attends to it, bas all bis time employed. He who steals a little steals with tbe same wish as be who steals much, but with less power. It is far more- easy to acquire a for tune like a knave tbau to expend it like a gentleman. Think not thy own shadow longer than that of others, nor delight to take this attitude of thyself. Public reformers had needs practice on their own heart3 that which they propose to try on others. Adhere strictly to your business. There may be difficulties to overcome, but you will surmount them. Wickedness may prosper for a while, but in the long run, be who sets all knaves a-work will pay them. Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and obliging to all your customers, and see that your clerks do likewise. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by the doubling of our joy aud the dividing of our griefs. The best way to get along with peo ple who are "set up with pride" is to upset their pride, and them, too. There are tieasures laid up in the heart, treasures of charity, piety, tem perance, and soberness. These treas ures a man takes with bim beyond death when he leaves this world.
