Bctteuwick's Gas Meter. During I
or of the cold auaps that we have had this i
winter the paa meter in Mr. Butterwick'a
house waa frozen. Mr. llutterwick at
tempted to thnw it out bj pouring hot
water over it, but after "pending an hour
upon the effort he emerged from the con
teat with the meter with Lit feet and trou
acra wet, his hair full of dust and cobwebs,
and his temper at fever heat. After study
ing how he should get lid of the ice iu the
meter, he concluded to use force for the
purpose, and so, seizing a hot poker, he
jammed it tLrmgh a ven-bole and stir
red it round inside of the meter with a con
siderable amount of vigor. He felt the
ice give waj, and he heard the wheels
buzz around with rather more vehemence
than usaal. Then he went up stairs.
He noticed for three or four days that
the infernal machinery cf that meter seem
id to be ratling in a remarkable manner.
It could be heard all over the house.
But he was pleased to find that it was
working again in spite of the cool weather,
and he retained his serenity.
About two weeks afterwards his gas bill
came in. It ?cued him of burning, dur
ing the quarter, 1,500,000 feet of gas, and
it called oc him to settle to the extent of
nearly 350,000. Before Mr. Butterwick'a
hair had time to descend after the first
shock, he nut on his hat and went down to
the gas office. He addressed one of clerks: j
'How much gas did you make at the j
Blank works last quarter V
'I dunno ; about a million feet, I reckon.' j
Well, you've charged me in my bill for :
burning a half a million more than you J
made, 1 want you to correct it.'
'Less see the bill. Hm m this is all i
riffht. It's taken oft the meter. That's
what the meter says.' j
Spose'n it dose ; I hhrt have burned '
more'a tou made
'Can't help that. The meter can't lie.'
Well, but how d'ycu account frr the
difference ?'
Ducno : 'Taint our business to go nos
ing and poaking around after scientiCc
truth. We depend on the meter. Il that
says you burned six million feet, why you
have burned it, even if we never made must
foot of gas at the works.1
To tell the honest truth,' said Butter
wick, 'that meter was frozen, and I stirred
it up with tb; poker and set it whirring
arortnd.'
Price Just tho same,' said the clerk.
We charge for pokers jun like we do for
gas.'
You ain't actually going to have the
audacity to ask me to pay 8350,000 on ac
count of that poker t"
If it was 700.000 I'd take it with a
.wi mm IK wmiII ittrnniri irnii 1'dV !
t llUUtll lUk T VSWS1VS l'4i;v J " j
op or we'll turn off your gas.'
'Turn it off and be hanged,' exclaimed
Buttcrwick, as he emerged from the office,
tearing his bill to fragments. Then Le
went home, and grasping that too lavish
poker, he approached the meter. It had
registered anothe million feet since the bill
was made out It waa running up the
score of a hundred feet a minute. In a
month Butterwick would have owed the
gas company more than the United States
tiovernment owes its creditors. So he
beat the meter into a ebapelees mass, tossed
it into the street and turned off t'.'c gas
inside the cellar.
He is now silting up at nights writing an
-ay od Our Grinding Monopolies' by the
light of a kerosene lamp. I'hila. JJuUahi.
The drug store was closed, and he rang
that bell vigorously. The druggist at once
tUt his head out of an upper window and
inquired sleepily : 'Who's there ?' 'Mr.
Carr,' responded the gentleman at the bell.
Missed a car ? Well, what's that to me,
confound you 1 Stop ringing that bell and
go about your business, man !' Down
went the window and the druggist was
lost to sight. The discomfited Mr. Carr
was lofct in amazement for a time, but
finally seized the bell and rang it again
frantically. The druggist'a head appeared
at the window again. He was wide awake
thia time. Who'a there now V 'Mr. Carr,
I tell you.' 'Why, d n your impudence !
Who cares if you have ? Get out of that,
quick. If you're drunk and have missed a
car it's your own lookout ; don't touch
that bell again. 'But I tell you idiot, I'm j
Mr. Carr.' Oh, Lord ! Why didn't
you say so before ?'
How to Lead a Calf. Ho was a
small but auscular boy, and the calf was
probably two month old, with a develop
ment of unadulterated cussedness that
would do credit to a Ku-Klux-Klan Cap
tain. There was a rope between them,
and, as they went down South Third street,
bets were even as to whether the boy was
leading tbe calf, or the calf leading the
ivy. Tha calf made a dash for the Cen
tral Express office. The boy pulled him
back, and be made a dash for the boy,
wharan around a wago and fell over a
watermelon pile, the proprietor whereof
wore copious.1.
'Come back here, you lufcrnal clodbus
ter, and pay for this melon.'
Say, M'h-ister. Whoa give me my
tbunderation on you hat, won't you ?'
And the calf kicked up his heels and
b-a-a-d. aad tried to run into a store, but
the boy sat back on tbe line with all his
strength, and suddenly sat down iu the
mud, as the calf altered his mind and turn
ed around to look at him. They went
quietly ten steps, till a dog barked, when
it took $our circles around the boy in as
many seconds, tying bis legs up in the line
and bringing Lim down in tbe niud again,
dragging Lim around until he looked like
an old hat that had been run over by the
ice cart for two seasons.
A philanthropic fat man weut to the boy's
assistance, but the calf kicked him on the
shin and butted him in the condenser, so
that he sat down on the curbstone and
tried to die easy. Then the boy and calf
untangled themselves and started down the
street like a mail train behind time, until
the calf, scaring at something, stopped
suddenly, and the boy fell over it aud lost
the rope. The calf at once took to his
l;e!s, every boy in tha street running afler
and grabbing at the rope, until it got
tangled in the bridge, when his conductor
canght him by the ear and tail, and a lively
fight took place across the bridge and out
if sight, while everybody along the street j
preceded to tell how easy i: is to lead a calf .
if you only go their way about it. i
A clergyman, after preaching a tedious
sermon on happiness, during which he j
enumerated the Tfinoa classes ot happy
pcrsous, asked one of iLe elders what he
thought of bis discourse. 'Von omitted
ne large class of the happy,' replied the
rider, 'and thst is they who escaped your
rrnion''
How are you, count V said a noted wag
to a spruce-looking specimen of the genus
snob.- 'Sir!' exclaimed the indignant
well, 'who are you and why do yoa call
me count?' 'Why, I saw you counting
oysters, last week,and I supposed you were
of royal blood.' Fnob vamosed.
THE GREAT KEPLTATIO.V
Which Vegetine Ins attained in all parts of
th country as a
Great and Good .Medicine,
and the large number of testimonials which are
constantly being received from persons who have
been eared by its use, are conclusive yiooi "
great value. It Is recomended by physicians and
apothecaries. Asa Blood-Purifier aud Health
Restorer, it has no ei"al.
Vfxjktise is uot prepared for a fancy drink
made from toor liquors, which debilitates the
svsteni and tends to destroy health iulead of
restoring it.
Are not the many testimonial given for lite
different complaints satisfactory to any reasona
ble pesous sulfering from disease that they can
he cured I Read the different testimonials given,
and nooue call doubt. In many of these, eases
the perrons say that their pain and suffering
cannot be expressed, as iu cases of Scrofula,
where, apparently, t lie whole body was one mass
of corruption. If Vec.ltinb wiil relieve pain,
cleanse, puiify aud cure such diseases, restoring
lbs patient to perlect health after trying ditler
ent pbysiciaus, many remedies, suffering for
years, i it not conclusive proof. If you are a
sufferer, you can lie cured I Why in this medi
cine preforming sueli great cures 1 If works in
the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can be
truly called the Great Blood Purifier. The great
source of disease originates in the blood ; aud no
medieiue that dose not act directly Uwu it, to
purify and renovate, has any just claim 'ipou
public attention. When the blood becorus life
less and stagnant, either from chauge of weather
or climate, want of exersi-e, irregular diet, or
from any other cause, the Vegetene will renew
the blood, carry oil the putrid huinors,,clcnsc the
ttotnoch, regulate the bowls and impart a toue
of vigor to the whole body. The conviction is,
in the public mind as well as in the medical pro
fession, that the remediF-i supplied by the Vege
table Kingdom arc more ate, more successful,
in the cure of disease, than niiueral medicines.
Ye;euse is composed of roots, barks aud herbs.
It U pleasant to take, and is perfectly safe to
give an infant. Do you tieed it f Do no hesitate
to try it. You will uever regret it.

THE LIGHT RUNSISO "DOMESTIC"
Tlie "Domestie."
The "DOMESTIC is an exceedingly simple
machine in all its parts nn4 processes. It Is
1 easily understood ; familiarity with It action is
i very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of s : t-kill in the operator.
The i-npcrior advantages obtained in the "Do
mestic are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock gtlteh.
4. -Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
C. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of 0cralion.
We do not say thai the 'Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some poesiug real and acknow
ledged merit; but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the 'Domestic" has many
excellences that render it tUcitUtlly tvjttrior to
any other Mnchlur now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
swlf into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, uot to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drndgery ; she will have
the time and strength toadd beauty nnd elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
content here!f with bare utilitv.

Makes in fou should not be tied up in their
stalls ; but kept in loose roorav stalls not less .
tban 0 x 11 feet. It would be far better if no
horse were In a stall of less size than this. Some
horses will not lie down in a narrow stall nn'.il
forced to by fatigue, and many wounded hips
aud backs are caused by contact with tbe walls
of nartow stalls. Brood mares mar lie worked
ligot'.y ; tliey are better for ihe exercise. A feed
of currnts, rnta battas, or suar beets daily, will
be nselul, or instead of these a qarl of linseed

Coslivcness in any breeding animal is to be care

A ;ai.f should never be allowed to suck if it
is possible to avoid it. As soon a its coat is
dry it should he taken from the cowanJ put into

the calf can be removed entirely to where tbe

Wlienever "run licks" are seen upon tattle lice

Eaklt Planting. In the haste to get forward
Willi spring work, there is alw.iys tho teiopla
lion to plant before the ground is really ready
for il ; that is, wbile il is yet wet and cold. Iu
some things, such as corn, il is now well-understood
that uothing is made by putting the seed
in till the grouud is dry. The young piauts get
yellow and sickly, aud the later-sown seed gets
ahead of it in lime ; but il is us true of every
thing as of corn, even Ihe hardiest kinds. Tress
and shrubs are in the same condition. Tbers
is nothing gained in setting them when th
ground is wet ; il is far better to wail tilt the
season advances euough to dry tbe ground. So
far as the coolness of the soil U concerned, it
does nol make much ditT.-rence in ihe case of
trees ; hut the dryness of tbe soil is an essential
point. -
In the case of farm or garden seeds, very much
may be d.-ne in tbe way of obtaining ihe desired
earliness by keeping ditches and water furrows
lear, so that water may drain easily away. It
is no unusual sight to note on farms generally
well kept Ihe little water courses, open by the
plow in the fall, almost full from the thawing
eurth through the winter, and which a very little
work would correct. Very often all this might
be done by a few hoars' work, and this would '
result in many cases in'having land advanced.
This is not much so far as mere time is concern
ed, but is a greot deal In spring, both in getting
work ahead and in giving the crops a start.

It is well that all of as shou.d remember that in
this case it is no figure of speech to say thai
'straws show which way the wiad blows.' Tho
arrangement of the barn-yard is not for show
altogether. The profits of ILe farm depend lo a
zrent extent upon il. It is in the yard and barns
thai the produce of the farm that t not sold
outright, is converted into beef, pork, mutton,
aooI or miik and butler articles that may be
profitably sold. It is in the yard also that the
manure is made and kept. The barn aud the
barn yard are the manufactory of the farm, and
if thi-y are uot arranged with a view :o economy,
a large waste results that reduces the farmer's
profit. U.-cful buildings may be made of logs
nr prairie sods, or poles and coarse hay; aud
these, by skillful arrangement, may be made to
serv-5 as useful a purpose as dressed lumber and
paint or pressed brick. The main points are
warmth, dryness and ventilation ; for food U
wasted when an animal shivers in its stable or
when its health is injured by damp filth or bad
air. A farmer who is tbonghtful about such
small things as this (although this is more im
portant than it appears), may be taken to be a
careful, thrifty tnau who, by and by. will beasie
to build a barn with all the improvements, and
to bnild it pioperly, too. The old proverb, tak
care of small thiugs, and large one will lake
care of themselves, " is applicable to uiatlart
about farms, and barn-yards especially. When
the small things are well watched, large oiks .
are nol forgotten. Jmrtcw Arjrieuitritt.
