fearfully and wonderfully-made memoran
da the other day on the streets of that in
dostt ioui little city.• It hid been dropped,
by semehixly whohad gone shopping. The

Os the Baltimore horse car - lines you
can buy twenty . tickets for a dollar,
though on two of Them the single fare is
six cents. — On these two there is a daily
pasiesger who makes an honest living, in
his mind, by keeping a large number of
tickets and by sitting near the Slawson
box; to accomtnoZate the ladies by passing
their fare up. When six cents aro hand
cd. him, ho pockets them and substitutes
a ticket. Thus he makes a cent every
- time be' obliges a lady, and on good htisy
days he makes as much as two dollars a
day clear.
TUE latest foolhaidy act at Niagara 'is
the work 'of three employes of the Erie
'hallway. These is a log in the rapids in
the middle of the river forty rods above
Goat Island bridge,which has been there
four years or an, and in that time no one
'has been within reaching distance of it.
These men crept out to it on the ice and
spiked up a twelve fOot sign on it, read
"Go East via Erie Itailwai."
Crowds of people stood on shore and 'Jok
ed at them, and the usual number of cold
blooded bits were roads that they would
not get back alive. In putting on the
' sign they moved the log, ; this shook the
ice a little, and it began.to break up in all'
directions. The had a lively time pad

wouldn't try it again for $l,OOO apiece.
A PHILADELPHIA anecdote, forty years
old, but possibly new to cold type, is told
by a correspondent of the Boston Com-
vionirealth. The subject was the veuera
• ble . Cromwell Barnard, a member of the
Society of„ Friends, and skipper of the
sloopttiion of Nautcket, then lying at a
Philadelphia wharf. Barnard was prom
enadiug the quarter deck when a schoo
ner, hauling out of the dock, MI afoul of
the thiou, and the schooner's captain be
gan to swear vociferously. Of course it
didn't do any good, and as Barnard took
notice of it, the captain iu a per
fectly audible voice that he' was an old
ahadbelly, prefixing a participle_ that is
usually considered to be eminently pro
- fane. Mr. Barnard couldn't stand this,
so he called down the main hatchway to
the mate, "Zimri! Zinari ! come on deck
and talk some thy language to this

!-Tneng is a man in Cleveland who looks
like Garfield. • The other day he lunched
ib a hotel restaurant. It was full of ens=
timers, and one thought it-was the Presi
dent-elect, so he - jumped up and shook
heads with the last comer, saying, "Al
low me the honor of shaking hands with
You, Mr. President." The man who look
ed like Garfield made a graceful bow as
his hand was shaken, het did not smile or
explain. He liked a joke, and he meant
to have one. %The firsti customer was fo
lowed by the rest of the crowd present,
all waiting to shake hands with the alleg

promptu reception was over, and the new
corner was allowed to! eat the lunch he
had ordered. As he settled with the cash

Tams are some bullies Boating around
who think they can say or,do anYthirig to
a preachet without his daring to make
any resistance.' Not being Bible readers
as a general thing, these fellows think
that preachers can do nothing whatever

we prefer the upright trellis. • Posts
are set 8 feet apart a strip 2 inches -
wide is nailed on a foot from the

the posts (3 or 4 feet aboie the lower
One). . The arms of the vines are
fastened to the lower strip, and per
pendicularwires front; the upper to
the lower strip allows each ascending
shoot to bir securely tied._ 'Pruning
thathas been neglected should be
attended to es soon as the weather
will allow. Grape vines should be
.pruned long before the buds begin to

A Poor Beginning.—lf a farmer
wants good horses of his own : raising,
he mast begin at the beginning, and
nbt start-i=asloo many do—with an
old, wind-broken mare that is blind
in one eye and lame in . two legs,
simply because she can be bought
for a little money. For breeding
purposes ; in nine cases out • of ten,
such an animal is dear at any price.
A good thoroughbred stallion would
get from such a mare- a colt far bet
ter than the dam, but her weaknesses
and constitutional traits will sooner,
or later become apparent in the-off
, spring. "Like begets like," is a well.
established law, and a superior ani
mal cannot come from. one decidedly
inferior. Only from sound and vig
orous mares can we hope fora race
of healthy horses. Let all raisers of
horses start in the right direction by
breeding from.the best on both sides.,
,—Anierican Agriculturist for. Feb.
Thorough-bred Gobblers.
Thorough breeding in the poultry
yard pays quite 'as well as among
larger animals, though very little at
tention is paid 'to. it. Most farmers
are satisfied with breeding turkeys
from the runts - of the lock, Which
generally means birde hatched in
August or September,' which, have
not had time to mature for' the .
Thanksgiving and Christmas mar
kets. Toms weighing 15 pounds,
and hens, ten , pounds, will indeed
perpetuate the-race, but there is very
little profit in. breeding such stock,
when birds, a third or more heavier,
are within their' reach, and "can be
bred with no more,eare or. cost. The
introduction of thorough-bred Bronze
or, Narragansett gobblers, weighing
twenty. pounds or more, at eight
months`from the shell, among is flock
of- mongrel turkiiy hens, will add
from three to five pounds weight per
head to the turkeys raised the first
season. The cost of such a Young ,
cock is not far -from $5. Suppose a
hundred binrs to be raised, the gain
would be-about .400 pounds ; which,
at the *ice Rio* Island turkeys
troright the "past' season in' Eastern
Imarkets, 20_cents a . pound, would' be
$BO. • As turkeys with a good range
get their own living through the
Bumper, the most of this
gain. -It will pay. those who raise
turkeys - to invest in thorough-bred
gobblers. -- American Agileulturiet

To Prevent the Bolling of Horses.
When the snow upon the roads is
co hesive and packs firmly, it collects
upon the feet , ;of, horses, forming a
bard, projecting masa, in a manner
known: as "ballifig." 'This often oc
curs to such an extent as to, intede
the motion of the hdrae, while it
causes the animal great discoMfort,
and is sometimes dangerous to the
rider or drver The trouble may be
prevented yeti , easily by the use of
G utta-Perchn. For this purpose the
gutta-percbaL shoidd be crude;,
, not mixedAvith anything or mann.
faeturedln any manner but just as
imported. Its application depends
upon'the property which the gum has
of softening and. becoming plastic by
heat, and hardening again when cold.
To apply , it,-place the gutta-percha
in hot water itintit, it . becomes sok•
and having well cLeansed the; foot,
removing, whatever 'has accumulated
between the ishoe and hoof, take al
piece of the softened gum and Press'
it against the shoe and.foot in such
a manner 0111 the angle between'
the shoe and hoof, taking care to
force it into the crack 'between the
,two. , Thus filling the crevices, and
the space nest the 'shoe; where the
snow - most firmly adheres, the ball of.
snow has nothing to hold it, and it
either does not Corm; or drops out
'as soon as it is gathered. When the
gutta-percha is applied, and - well
I smoothed oft with the wet fingers, it
,i,may be hardened at once, to prevent
the horse fret; getting it out of place
by stamping, by the' application of
snow or ice,,or more slowly by a wet
sponge or cloth. When it is desired
to remove the gum, the application
of hot water by means of .a sponge
or cloth will 80 soften it, that. it may
be, taken of - - ,2A.s the softening aud
hardening ;bay be repeated indefinite

years. Fbda-lorse of medium size,
a qus`rter of a pound is sufficient for
all the feet. Hiving tested this ap
plication late last winterj-iiid thus

meud'it as thoroughly efficacious In

straw to the thickness of 'a foot. If
possible set a strong pole in the cen-

does not incline to one side, The
covering for the sides may be straw,
salt bay, swale hay, or even leaves,

the mass' of ice may be covered with
a grettp thickness of straw, by bend-

Bread* Making in Winter.
House-keepers sometimes object to .
the use of the dry yeast-cakes pur
chased at groceries,
.becauSe -bread
made with them is ad slow to rise,
especially in winter. I like to 11.43
these cakes in hot weather on that
very account. The bread sponge
never wows on. the hottest nights:
But in winter it is advisable to set a
small sponge in the afternoonabout
four o'clock—in-this way : A scant
pint of flour is mixed with a pint and •
a half of warm water. To this add
a Cake of yeast previously soaked in
a little warm water (taking care not
to scald the yeast), and beat all well
together. By seven o'clock this, if
kept. covered in a - warm place near
the'stove, will be very light. Now
set your bread sponge as usual, using
this:.smaller sponge for the yeast.
Cover warm, and in the morning you
will be almost sure to •find it very
light and entirely. sweet. Now, if
yonhave a kood deal to attend to,
you can defer aneading. the dough,
until after. breakfast, provided you
stir in considerable flour and mix it
thoroughly with • the spoon.
