How Hook got hi Dinner.
The following characteristic anecdote of
Theodore Hook is given in Ueream's life
of that extraordinary man. One of the
treets near Soho Square, either iVan
Street or Fifth Street, was the sceue of ac
tion. Hook was lounging upon one of
those streets in company with Terry, the
actor, when they saw through the kitchen
window prejarations for a handsome din
ner. 'What a feast said Terry. 'Jolly dogs !
I should like to make one of them.'
I'll take any bet,' returned Hook, 'that
I do ; call for me at ten o'clock, and you'll
find that I shall be able to ive a tolerable
account of the worthy gentleman's cham
pagne and veuisou.'
So saying, he marched up the steps, 'gave
an authoritive rap with the burnished
knocker, and was quickly lost to the sight
cf his companion. As a matter of course
lie was immediately ushered iu by the ser
vant, as an unexpected nuest, into the
drawiug room, where a large party had al
ready assembled. The apartment, being
nigh full, no notice was taken of hi intru
sion, and half a dozen people were laugh
ing at his bou mots before the host disco
vered the mistake. Aficctiug not to ob-M-rve
the visible embarrassment of the lat
ter, aud ingeniously avoiding the oppoitu
nity for esplauatica. Hook rattled ou till
he had attracted the greater p:.u of the
company iu the circle near him, and some
considerable time elapsed ere the old geu
tiemau was able to catch the attention of
the agreeable stranger.
I beg your pardon,' he said, contriviug
at last to get in a word ; 'but your name,
sir, I did not quite catch it servants arc
so aboruiuably incorrect, and I am really
at loss '
'Dout' apologize, I beg,' graciously in
terposed Theodore. 'Smith my name is
Smith and as you justly observe, servant
arc always making some stupid blunder or
another. I remember a remarkable in
stance,' etc.
'But really, my dear sir," coutiuued the
host ; at the termination of the story illus
trative of the stupidity iu servants, 'I think
the mistake ou the present occasion does
not originate in the source you allude to ;
I certainly did not expect the pleasure of
Mr. Smith '8 company at dinner to-day.'
'No, I dare say not, you said four iu your
note I know, aud now, I see, a quarter
past five you arc a little fast, by the way ;
but the fact is, I have been detained iu the
city, aud I was about to explain when '
'I'ray,' exclaimed the other as soon as he
could stay the volubility of his guests,
'whom, may I ask, do you suppose you arc
addressing V
'Whom ? Why, Mr. Thompson, of
course old friend of ray father ; I have not
the pleasure, indeed, of being personally
known to you, but haviug received 3-our
invitatiou ou my arrival from Liverpool
Frith street, lour o'clock, family party
come in boots, you see I have taken you at
your word. I am only afraid I have kept
you wailing.'
Xo, no, not at all. But permit me to
observe, my dear sir, my name is not ex
actly Thompson it is Jones, and '
'Jones !' repeated the self-styled Smith,
in admirably assumed consternation ;
'Jones 1 Why surely 1 cannot have yes, I
must good heaven ! I sec it all. My
dear Kir. what an unfortunate blunder
wrong house what must you think of
such intrusion ? I am really at a loss for
words in which to apologize. You will
permit me to retire at present, aud to-morrow
'
'Pray don't thiuk of retiring,' exclaimed
the hospitable old gentleman; 'your friend's
table must have been cleared lone ago,
if, you say, four was the hour named : and
I am only too happy to be able to offer you
a seat at mine.1
Hook, of couise, could not thiuk of such
a thing couM not think of trespassing
upon the kindness ot a perfect strauger ;
if too late for Thompson there were
plenty of chop houses at hand. The uu
fortuuate part of the business was, he had
made an appointment for a gentleman to
call for him at ten o'clock. The good na
tured Jones, however, positively refused
to allow bo entertaining a visitor to depart
dinuerless ; Mrs. Jones joined in the solici
tation ; the Misses Jones smiled bewitch
iugly ; and at last Mr. Smith, whosoou re
covered his confusion, was prevailed on to
offer his arm to one of the ladies, aud take
his place at the well furnished board.
In all probability the family of Jones
never Kissed such an evening before. Hook
naturally exerted himself to the utmost to
keep the party iu an increasing roar of
laughter, and keep good the first impres
sion. The mirth grew fast aud furious,
when, by way of a finishing stroke, he
seated himself at the pianoforte, and struck
off into one of those extemporaneous effu
sions which had filled more critical judges
than Jones with delight and astonishment.
Ten o'clock p-truck, and, on Mr. Terry be
ing anuounced, his triumphant friend
wound up the performance with the expla
natory stanza
I am very much pleuacd with your fare,
Your cellar's us prime us your coik,
My friend' Mr. Terry tlic plater,
And I'm Mr. Theodore Hook.
At Evansville, Indiana, recently, a man
fell into a ditch on the outskirts of the town
in such a manner that he was unable to ex
tricate himself. A kind-hearted pedestri
an helped him to his feet, and after the
thiug had U-era accomplished our hero said :
'All right hie I'll vote for you.' The
stranger looked at him doubtfully, and
wished to know what for. 'Wha' otliee ye
running' for ?' 'I ? None at all,' was the
answer. 'Not a candidate ?' 'No, why V
Why hie why ? 'Cause I don't know
as any man d hie help 'nother as you
did Hhoul beiu' a candidate !'
Vorxo gentlemen, do not get into the
habit of betting,' said a professor to his
class. 'No kind of bet is excusable, in fact
every bet is a siu as well as a mark of vul
garity. Have uolhiug to do, young gentle
man, with a bet of any kind.' 'That, I
suppose, puts a fiuisher Ukhi our dear old
friend the alpha-ix', exclaimed one of the
students. The professor smiled blandly
upon the young m n, and gave him fifty
extra lines of Creek.
A fashionable milliner (in Punch) :
' You'll have the flower on the left side of
the bonnet, of course madam ?' Fashion
able lady: 'Well er no! The fact i,
there's a pillar on the left side of my ew
in church, so that only the right side of
my head in seen by the congregation. Of
course I could change my pew !' Fashion
able lady's husband: 'Ya-as. Or even
the church, you kuow, if necessary.'
Fashiouable milliner considers.
Josh Hillings says' 'Tlie live man is
like a little nz; he iz weaned young and
begins to root early. He is the pepersafis
or creation, the allpice ot the world. One
lire man ia a village is like a case or the
itch at a distrikt school he fot everybo

Culture op the Tomato. Daring the few
past years efforts have been made to improve the
tomato in size, solidity, flavor and earllness of
maturity. There has been progress In all these
directions, not perhaps so much actual improve
ment as many of us believe, but still good toma
toes have ia the new kinds sustained their repu
tation. Old varieties seem to gradually give
way or else people tire f them, and they thus
disappear. We have no tomato the same as we
had thirty years ago, at least tinder the same
name, and yet we bad them pretty Urge aud
good kinds even at that day.
Without entering closely into the historical
part of this hnpiiry, we yet think our tomatoes
have really improved in smoothness and quality
as a general thing, when anyone has taken any
interest in having a good article ; and in tomato
culture there eertainly has been marked im
provement. Recently there have been brought
before the community several ideas worthy of
note iu those who strive tor the very best article.
In regard to traiuiug, it is aaserted that much
better fruit especially for eating rw can be
had from plants fastened to slant stokes, than
when plants are allowed to run at will over the
ground, or even when they afe fastened to slant
ing trellises. Heavy stakes are required of
course, as the great weight of a plant in fruit
cannot bs borue by light stakes.
In regard to training the plauts, much atten
tion has been given to thinning the branches, es
pecially when grown on stakes, and in shorten
ing back some of the branches to within a few
buds of where the fruit is to set. Those who
have followed this practice Judiciomly report
good results.
But the latest novelty in tomato-culture is in
the matter of root-prnnning in order to produce
earliness. In this matter some surprising re
sults have been achieved according to those who
have given in their experience. While the plants
are young they are transplanted several times
which of course destroys some of the roots, and
after they are put out iuto their final resting
places a spade is ouce in a while thrust down
into the ground a foot or so from the main stalk.
In this of course size and perhaps quality is sa
crificed to a few weeks' earliness ; but many are
willing to pay this penalty for the sake of tbe
early dish. The principle here is much the same
as is often doue to get early grapes when a ring
of bark is taken off. The supply of food being
cheeked the result is earlier fruit, but with
slightly impaired flavor.
These are the leading suggestions that have
been made in improved tomato-culture dnrinw
o
the past few years not great improvements, it
U true, but still not without value. Gennantoicn

The Cost or Raisi.no Cobs. J. E. Vaughan,

In this calculation we have allowed sixty dol
lars for Interest on use of land, putting the rate
at six per cent, on f 100 per acre, and allowing
nothing for husking, believing the stalks to pay
well for that.
Calculating from the above basis, we find that
at 40 bushels shelled corn per acre our corn
costs us about 50 cents per bushel ; at 50 bush
els per acre it costs about 40 cents ; at 60 per
acre, 33 cents ; at 80 per acre, 25 cents ; at 100
per acre, 20 cents.
We will add that we have never been able to
raise corn for twenty cents per bushel, but that
we can and hare raised it at a cost not much
above tweuty-flve cents.
Clovek ad Timotbt. A correspondent in
tbe Peninsular Xtwt gives the following reasons
why the growing of clover and timothy on the
light soils of Delaware and Maryland has been
unsuccessful :
"First, the land is plowed too shallow ; there
is not enough manure used, nor that of the right
kind. The seed is not sown over one-half thick
enough, and the seed is sown too late. Plow
not less than eight inches deep. Manure should
be applied after the land is plowed. Stable
manure is best. If farmers would save all and
compost it with muck, several acres could be
well seeded every year. After it is manured
drug well, then sow clover and grass, about as
much again as is usually sown ; drag again
well. Sow as early as possible, if in the spring.
Timothy does best sown in September. But if
sown with oats, on land prepared as I have sta
ted, it will be likely to do well. If enough stable
manure cannot be had, tbe next best is pure
bones ground for timothy, and ashes for clover.
Farmers on the peninsula will find grass grow
ing the next most profitable after trnit growing.
But as long as all the stable manure made on a
farm is used for truck patches, aud cattle are
pastured and kept to eat off the last spear of
clover and grass, how can tbe farm improve I
Keep up stock ; have cut grass ; save manure to
seed with, and you will be on the right road."
Bl'Gs, Wouais asd Cuickes Choleba. A cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer says: "We '
have noticed that whenever the chickens follow
the plow and gorge themselves with bags and
worms, soon cholera breaks out among them.
Our remedy Is : To one gallon of sour milk, add
a tablespoonful of powdered alum, set it in shal
low vessels, where the chickens can drink as
often as they choose. We have nsed this remedy
for the last three years, and none of our chickens
die with cholera, when we attend to it in time."
