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

Dr. J. Walker's California Tine
gar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without the use of
Alcohol.' The question is almost daily
asked. " What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters t '
Our answer is, that they remove the
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health.' They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator andlnvigorator
of the system. Never before in the his
tory of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Vinxgak Bitters in healing
the sick of every disease man is heir to.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dk. Walker's
Yihsqar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.

Bankiso ur th Stems or Frcit-Tekes. 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

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.
