4 Ejttmcroas Iutrjjfs. The Colonel's ILt. He didn't MEAN TO INSULT the Court. Colonel . Bangs U very bald, and in order to induce hi hair to grow again be it using a very excellent article of 'Hair Vigor" upon hia scalp. A week or two ago he was sum moned as a jurymen upon a case in the Circuit Court, and upon the day of the trial just before the hour at which the court met, be remembered that he bad not applied the Vigor to his head that morn ing. He had only a few minutes to spare but he flew up stairs, and into the- dark closet where he kept the bottle, and pour ing some fluid upon a sponge, be rubbed his head energetically. By some mishap the Colonel got hold of the wrong bottle, and the substance with which he inunda ted his scalp was not Vigor but the black varnish with which Mrs. Bangs decorated her shoes. However, Bangs didn't per ceive the mistake, but darted down stairs, put on his hat, and walked off to the court room. It was a very cold morning, and by the time the Colonel reached I: is desti nation the varnish was as stiff as a stone. He felt a little uncomfortable about ihe head, and he endeavored to more his hat to discover the cause of the difficulty, but to his dismay it was immovable. It was glued fast to the skin and his efforts to take it off gave him a frightful pain. Just then he heard his name called by the crier, and he had to go into court to answer. He was wild with apprehensions of coming trouble; but he took his seat in the jury box and determined to explain the situation to the court at the earliest mo ment At he sat there with a guilty feeling in his soul, it seemed to him that that high hat kept getting bigger until it appeared to him to be as large as a medium sized shot tower. Then be was conscious that the lawyers were staring at him. Then the clerk looked bard at him and screamed : Hats off in court !' and the colonel grew crimson in the face. Hats off!' yelled the clerk again, and the colon ol vas about to reply when the judge came in, and as his eye rested on Bangs, he said : Persons in the court room must remove their hats.' Bangs 'May it please your honor, I kept my hat on because ' Judge 'Well, 6ir, you must take it off now.' Bangs 'But I say I put it on because I-r Judge 'We don't waut any arguments upon the subject, sir. Take your bat off instantly ! Bangs 'But you don't let me- ' Judge 'Remove that hat this moment, sir ! Are you going to bandy words with me, sir I Uncover your head at once.' Bangs 'Judge, if you will only give me a chance to' Judge 'This is intolerable ! Do you mean to insult the court, sir? Do you mean to profane this sacred temple of jus lice with untimely levity ? Take your bat off, sir, or I will fine you for contempt. Do you hear me V Bacgs 'Well, it's very hard that I can't say a word by way of ex Judge (warmly). 'This is to much ! This is just a little to much. Perhaps you'd like to come up on the bench here and run the court, and sentence a few con victs ? You've got more audacity than a mule. Mr. Clerk, fine that man fifty dol lars ! Now sir remove your hat' Bangs 'Judge, this is rough on me. I ' Judge (in a furious rage)-'Won't do It yet? Why, you impudent scoundrel! I've a notion to Mr. Clerk, fine him one hundred dollars more, and Mr. Jones, you go and take that hat off by force !' Then the tip&taff approached Bangs, who was by this time half crazy with wrath, and hit the hat with his stick. It didn't move. Then he struck it again, and caved in the crown ; but it still remained ou Ba tigs' bead. Then he picked up a vol ume ot 'Brown on Evidence,' and smashed the crown in flat. Then Bangs sprang at him, and shaking his fist under the nose of Jones, he shrieked : 'You mutton-headed scullion ! I've half a notion to kill you! If that jackass ou the bench bad any sense, he wou'.d see that the bat is glued fatt. I can't take it off if I wanted to.1 Then the Judge removed the flues, and f xcused him, and Bangs went home. He slept in U at hat for a week, aud even when it came off, the top of his bead looked as black as if mortification had set iu. 'Augustus, dear,' said she tenderly push ing him from her as the tnooulight flooded the bay window where they were standing 'I think you had better try some other hair dye ; your moustache tnsles like turpen tine.' 'My dear Polly, 1 am surprised at your taste for wearing another woman's hair ou your head,' said Mr. Smith to bis wife. 'My dearest Tom, I am really astonished that you persist iu wearing another sheep's woo! on your hack.' An old lady, bearing some one reading about a congressman at large, rushed into tike kitchen door shouting: '.Sara Jane! Sara Jane ! don't you leave the clothes out all night. Mind I tell you ; for there's a congressman at large !' 'We read in degood book,' says a color ed Baptist brother down south, 'of John de Baptist uebber of John de Methodist,' And that, says a Char le town correspon dent, is the reason why so many of the southern colored fieople are Baptists. During a trial the Judge called a wituess, No one answered, an elderly man arose and solemnly said, 'He is gone.' 'Where has he gone ?' asked the Judge, in no ten der tone. 'I don't know ; but he is dead,' was the guarded answered A simple mode of keeping tu'ter in warm weather is to set over the dish containing it a large flower-pot or unglazed earthen ware crock, inverted. Wrap a wet cloth around the covering vessel, and place the whole where there is a draft of air. Scolding woman (to husband No. 2 : 'Oh, if you only knew the difference be tween you, you wretch, and my first hus band !' Husband : 'I do know the differ ence. He is happy now that he has left you, and I was happy before I got you.' 'When can I get a chance to put this baby to sleep ?' once asked a lady emigrant of Kit Carson, who wus conducting the train. 'Well, ma'am,' says Kit, reflec tively, 'I don't just exactly know, But I should think it would he, when we got to the Roriy mountains.' After a man has been quarreling with his neighbor all the week, as to whether liens should be shut u p or allowed to ruu at large, it empressed one with the myster ies of religion, to hear him get up in prayer meeting, and tell 'that his heart is filled with love for everybody. 'Sir,' said a little blustering man to a religious opponent, 'to what sect do you suppose I belong ?' 'Well, I don't exactly know,' replied his opponent, 'but to judge, irom your size, appearance and constant buzzing . I should think you belonged to thclas generally called Wet REEIIHGTOH.

A correspondent of tbe XA"'V'tF "rmer tells of a lot or pear-trees wmcn nau ireir ikdu oannea up eighteen or twenty Inches high, and which throve amazingly thereafter, though those who are supposed to know thought great injury would result. This reminds ns that many years ago, when Mr. Longworth was one of the lead ing horticultural luminaries, be told ut or tne wonderful success whlcn a neigbboi or nis, a Mr. Bolmar, had In mounding up peaches, plums and other fruits. This Mr. Bolmar made mound not merely eighteen or twenty inches high, but three to four feet, reaching, m some eases, to the branches, the whole mound sloped off so as to give the appearance of an. Inverted funnel. Mr. Longworth used to describe the growth of these trees as something remarkable, and besides the growth the borers had no inclina tion to ascend these mounds to get at the trunks. The fear that roots would be smothered proved B'"u . ,t . ... Jond the circumference oi we mounu, many or tnem went up mvo ne ruounu ior iwu. Tf w are not mistaken, however, this "Bolmar' method was patented, and of course no one was going to pay for a right possessed from time everlasting till now of dumping a load of dirt against a tree, especially as the same good re sults can bo obtained in other ways ontside ot any patent dirt-heaps. In fact those who pay attention to keeping tbe . . .... . stems of tbeir fruit-trees in an active aim healthy condition by occasional washing, have all the health In a tree they can wish, withont having their grounds made to appear as if stud ed with Texan aut-hUIs; This tree-washing to not enongb practiced where healthy bark is de sired. Our country friends know better. We do not, as a matter of taste, admire a white washed trunk, aud those who get their learning from books may declare that these washes are destructive to the trees, as they "stop up t ie pores," and-so-forth. Bnt those who know these trees know also that they are among tbe healthiest that grow. But there are other washes, and it Is found in practice that they no more "stop pores" than a load of earth would do. Germanlom Telegraph. Adjusting Habsess to thb Horse. Every part of the harness shonld be buckled up short er or let out until the harness fits tbe horse as nearly as a pair of boots that are of the proper size fit ones' feet. The collar should fit closely, with space left at the bottom to admit a man's hand. If too large, It has the bad effect of drawing the shoulders together. On no consid eration should a team or work horse be com pelled to wear a martingale, as it draw tbe head down, and prevents him from getting into an easy and natural position. The check-rein may be used, but only tight enough Wt keep the head In a natural position, and should never be wonnd around the hames. See that the hames are bnckled enough at the top to bring the draft irons at the proper point on tbe side of the col lar. If too low it not only interferes with the action of the shoulder, bnt give the collar an uneven bearing. Caution should be taken that their girth is not buckled too tight, particularly on string teams, for when the traces are straight ened it has the tendency to draw the girth against the belly and distress tbe horse. There is no operation in the fruit garden more beneficial in its results than thinning the fruit, and there is none so generally permitted, to a faun. Fruit should be thinned not only for the benefit of tbe present crop, but for that of next year. The earlier the surplus Is removed after the fruit is set the better, as the tree need not be expending its energies in developing fruit that is ultimately to be destroyed. It will even pay to thin the Ccrrast, where extra specimens are desired. Rub off useless suckers and branches as they start, and if the soil around the bushes is not mulched, keep It stirred by hoeing. The worm on its first appearance Is to be sprinkled' with powdered white hellobore, as before directed, and if the borer appears, cut oft the affected shoots aud burn them. Gooseberries, when heavily loaded with fruit, will need props to keep the branches from the ground. Use sulphur if mildew appears. In city markets both these and currants often brin a better price if marketed when green. Raspberries and Blackberries. All suck ers that are needed for making new plants, are to be cat on as fajt as they appear. Tie the canes now growing for next year's fruiting to tbe trellis or stake. Grapes. Thin oat the branches freely, espe cially on young vines. One bnnch to the shoot is as mnch as avine shonid carry tbe first year of its fruiting. Stop the shoots at three or fonr leaves beyond Ihe cluster. Young vines should grow on a single cane the first year, and be kept tied np. Hand picking must be resorted to for the large beetles and caterpillars. Dwarf fear and other frnit trees may be shap ed at will by pinching the yonng growth. Tbe systematic of this is given In full in Rivet's Miniature Fruit Garden. The disagreeable slimy sing which appears ou pear and other trees is killed by a dusting of air-slacked lime. Tcrnips axd Corh. A Westchester County, (N. Y.) farmer is in the habit of sowing yellow Aberdeen turniis among his corn at the last passage of the cultivator, when the plants are about five feet in height. The turnips do not make much growth until the corn Is ent, after which they swell rapidly. The cot is nothing except for seed and harvesting, and corn, being already cut, is not injured when the tur nips are gathered in. From one to four hundred bushels of turnips per acre have been thus ob tained without lessening tbe corn crop. Weds are not tolerated and the whole strength of t1 land is devoted as it should be, to useful cro HOUSEHOLD. To Color Lemo Color. Steep double f e0 marigolds In boiling water to hours ; nv8 strong alum water in which first dip the t&tT UI, then Into the dye, and tnrn the goo often to keep from spotting. Thirty mlnuf K12 a good color. When dry rinse in co wter. Eleccms Cake. Three cup09 ot dongh, one cupful of batter, on'11"1 'opfal of sour milk, one heaping cupful flour, one cup ful of raisins, one wen tepoonfiil of soda, spice and salt. Feather Cake. Two cups sugar, one half cup of bntter, one cu j of sweet milk, three cups or flour, three eggs, tiree teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Flavor and fruit to suit your own taste. Seed Cakes. Six cupfuls of flour, one cup ful of sugar, one enpful of bntter, two great spoonfuls of seeds, cream tartar aud soda, milk to mix hard. We clip the following receipt from rfh exchange, which heartily endorse it as a "good thing :" Dissolve a teaspoon ful of alum in a quart of water, to which add sufficient Dour to make a think cream. Stir In half a tcaspoonful of pow dered rosin and half a dozen cloves, to give a pleasant odor. Have on the fire a teacnp of boiling water, pour the flour mixture Into It, stirring well at the time. In a few minutes it will be of the consistency of mush. Pour It In a cool place. When needed for use, take out a portion and soften it with warm water. Raspberrt Cream. A quart of cream will be required for one pint of raspberberries. Mash and rub the fruit throngh a hair sieve, to ex tract the seeds. Boil the cream and add It to the pulp while it remains hot. Sweeten with powdered sugar to your taste. Let it become quite cold. Now raise a froth with a whisk. Take off this froth with a skimmer, and lay ou a hair sieve to drain. Fill your glasses with the cream and place some of the froth on top of each glass. This Is a nice article for desert. Raspberrt Ratafi a. To fonr quarts of rasp berries add two quarts of proof spirit- and one pound ofVhlle sugar. Infuse in a close vessel for one week. Now strain or press throngh a hair sieve ; after which, filter throngh a flannel bag and bottle. To Keep Hams. There is no better way to keep hams through the summer, free from taint or insects,than by hanging them np in the smoke, house, which is of course to be kept perfectly dark. When there is no smokehouse or dark room, sew each bam up in a canvas bag aad thoroughly whitewash It. We have also kept them perfectly by robbing into them wood ashes, packing them In barrels and covering them with ashes. Germantmr T'Ugrvph.
