A hov who bad itolen some apples was
forgiven for the rather ingenious manuer in

master asking him what he had to say for
himself, the urchin replied : 'The apples
were TomM ; I don't know were be got
them ; and now they're mine, and he don't
know where I got them.'
The following is the way in which a per
son was directed to a place of worship in
Texas : 'After you pass the seventh bar
room on this side of the street, strike
across and take up Soledad street, and you
will find it one hundred yards beyond the
the last beer saloon on the same street,
nearly opposite a ten pin alley ?'

A newspaper editor, taught, doubt
less, by experience, says : -'Editors
object to having anything written on more
than one side of a piece of paper. The

they generally solicit the name of some
other person to be written on the reverse
aide.'
"Smile once again" is the title of a new
song. "And that's what I like," says a
venerable bummer, "al'ays room for one
more as the omnibus man says to the fat
lady,"
A Model Sebvant. When she came
to work for the family on Congress street,
the lady of the house sat down and told
ber that agents, hook-peddlers, hat-rack
men, picture-sellers, ash-buyers, rag-men,
and all that class of jeople roust be met at
the front door and coldly repulsed, and
fcarah she'd repulse 'em if she had to break
every broomstick in Detroit
And she did. She threw the door open
wide, bluffed right up to 'em, and when
she got through talking the cheekiest agent
was only too glad to leave. It got so after
a while that peddlers marked that house,
and the door bell never rang except for
company.
The other day as tbe lady of the house
was enjoying a nap, and Sarah was wipiug
off the spoons, the bell rang. She hastened
to tbe door expectiog to see a lady, but her
eyes encountered a slim man, dressed in
black and wearing a white ueck-tie. He
was the new minister, and he was going
around to get acquainted with the mem
bers of bis flock, but Sarah wasn't expect
ted to know this.
Ah um is Mrs. ah 1'
1it!' exclaimed Sarah, pointing to the
gate.
Ileg pardon, but I'd like to see see 1'
'Meander !' she shouted, looking around
for a weapon, 'we don't want any flour
sifters here !'
'You are mistaken,' he replied, smiling
blandly. 'I called to'
Don't want anything to keep moths
away fly !' she exclaimed, getting red in
the face.
'Is the lady in ?' he inquired, trying to
look over Sarah's head.
'Yes the ladjr's in, and I'm in, and you're
out !' she snapped, 'and now I don't want
to stand here talking to a fly trap agent
any longer ! Come, lift your boots !'
'I am not an agent,' he said, trying to
smile, 'I am the new '
Yes, I know you you are the new man
with a patent flat-iron, but we don't want
any, and you'd better go before I call the
dog!'
'Will you give the lady my card and say
that I called ?'
No. I won't. We're bored to death
with cards and handbills and circulars.
Come, I can't stand here all day,'
Didn't you know that I am a minister ?'
he asked as he backed off.
'No, nor I don't know it now ; you look
like tbe man who sold the woman next
door a dollar cbromo for eighteen shillings!'
'But here is my card.'
I don,t care for cards, I tell you ! If
you leave that gate open I'll heave a flower-pot
at you !'
'I will call again,' be said as he went
through the gate.
'It won't do you any good !' she shouted
after him; we don.t want no prepared
food for infant uo piano music no stuff
ed birds ! I know the policeman on this
beat, and if you come around here again
he'll soon find out whether you are a con

And she took unusual care to lock the
door. Detroit Frte Press.

The Aob to Kill Shokt-Hobns. The early
maturity of animals designed for slaughter has
been for many years one of the chief aims of
the breeders, and they have (irrmnnli tiled
results really astounding to tlue only familiar
with ordinary stock. This is especially true of
Sbort-Homs in England though possibly as good
results may be known by American breeders.
At a recent sale In England a list of 18, 15 and
11 months' beeves were sold at prices which re
turned a larger rate per week than any longer
keeping could have done. .The 1 orttloo Eng.?
Agricultural Gazt!'.eiy-n ecuiiaeating oh''thias

"It appsars from the above that any kindly,
well-bred Short-Horn fattened from" birth on the
plan rapidly extending In Sussex and Surry win
return 7s. a week at from 13 to 18 months old ;:
an'd a fair Inference from facts presented is that :
bullocks fattened from birth in barns or yard
should be killed at less than two years old, since
they hardly continue to grow and make flesh In
tbe same proportion when they ha ve-bcen highly
fed from 18 to 20 months. The yonng bullocks
usually turn out exceedingly weighty and full of
fat."
Tbe difficulty with most common breeds of
cattle would be to fatten at so early an age.
The Urge, coarse cattle from are never fattened
nnder three years, and sometimes not till four
or nve years old. ilere is a clear waste of one
or tiro years' keeping to produce the same
amount of beef. In Texas, however, what is
lost In time is saved in cost of keeping ; bnt this
rule only applies where laige, grassy plains fur
nish abundant feed at slight cost. Another ad
vantage ot the Texas breeder Is in the nu doubt
ed hardiness of the stock. Tbe attempt to
breed for fat and early maturity tsnds to injure
the constitution, at least so far as to Impair the
breeding capacity of stock. Still, the advantage
of early maturity is so great that the Improved
breeds will continue to be in Increasing demand
wherever cattle are fed and cared for rather than
herded. Enrol Xe Yorktr.
Management or Pot Plasts. Amateurs are
are apt, in ret otr.:ng plants, to make the soil too
rich, under the Impression that, because the
roots are confined within a small compass, neces
sarily the soil mnst be very fat. Such is not tbe
fact. Flowering plants shonld not have the soil
over rich. They do better in pure soil, free from
an excessive quantity of manure. What is used
shonld be the most thoroughly digested compost
The successful florist understands that the sot
requires only to be in that normal state to issns
perfect and contlnnous growth ; and, therefor:
instead of making tho soil in the pots over rich,
depends npon stimulating, when wanted, by
means of liquid manure.
A mistake generally made in shifting from
one pot to another, is tbe use of too large pots
as the plants increase in size. In changing,
use pots only one size larger than tbe plant was
in before. To do this in the best manner put
some drainage in the bottom of the pots, say
four inch size, beine careful to eloae tbe bote in
the bottom by laying a pieee thereon ; on this
place a little rich compost mixed with one-half
its bulk of sharp sand. Then place a pot one
size less than the one containing the plant to be
moved. Fill In aronnd this with tbe the same
material pretty finely packed. Lift out the pot
and fill with soil, just so that the ball of erarth in
which the plant is contained will reach to about
half an inch of the rim of the pot. Now set
the plant in and cave the earth about it from tbe
sides, and fill up level with more soil. VTmttrn

To Remove Stings. In many cases instan
taneous relief from the pain can be obtained by
pressing npon the place containing the sting
with tbe tube of a small key. This extracts the
sting, and then a drop of acqna ammonia will
neutralize the acidity of tbe poison, and allay
the smart of the wound. A little bit of salera
tus moistened and laid over the affected part will
also heal IU
