La had the ec of e.iet.ce, t'j 0
spsak, turned upon the poet and
others of bis race, and to his enlight
ened mind the bulldog and the trap
door have seeded but crude and
brutal methods unworthy of the
a.;e. One djy he came across the '
et. tv in a locai newspaper of a)
merchant who had succeeded iu j
ridding himself of the importatitiei j
of a tw-rn o! K-tnile bo'k conva-s-l
ers by a so-n- hat novel and inge- j
nious method. Whenever the m r-1

Ixik at this beautiful illustrated j
work in ninety-nine parts, only 25 j
ctnti apart" he would surrepti
tiously loose a number of mice deft
ly concealed in a ca?e beneath hi
tle.k. Trie succe.-s ol the scheme, it
was recorded, even surpassed ex
pectation. Linking this idea with
the scari.row of tiie rural district,
I'rjf. Grimkopf arrived at the de
duction that if the unwelcome visi-
t- r could le disposed of by a moral j
in-V-ad of a physical shock a deei-
ded step ia advance would have i
been attained. Following out this I
train of thought, he was inspired to
an invention which will indubita
bly prove of the highest value.
This invention coa-its of an ap
paratus capable of evolving an ap-5
paration somewhat similar to tiwt J
which might be produced by means
of a maic lantern and a canva-s. ;
Its workings are described as fol-j
lows: A poet enters the editor's!
fcaiictuaa. Itm laUer concealing his '
hatred in the consciousness of bis j
triumph, softly, almost unctuously, j
Ternaries: "Poet, sir? Ah, pleased j
ta see you! Married or single, sir?i
"If the po?-t murmurs that lie is
single the comic editor forthwith
pets in motion an attaenmeut on the
ri-iil hand side of his desk, and
immediate 'y there apjears on tlie
wall facing the poet the life-sise fig
ure of Mr. John L i?u;iivan, iu
alarmingly pugilistic attitude, with
the words emblazoned above his
head: "The fighting editor is in."
The terror inspired by this, appa ra
tion has been demonstrated to be
fully as effective in leading to a
poet's disappearance as if a trap
door were actually opened beneath
his feet
The comic editor's end is thus at
tained without any approach to bat
tery or bloodshed. If, on the otter
hand, the poet replies that he is
married, the comic editor applies
himself to au attachment to the left
of his desk, and instantly there is
an apparition of a fierce mother-in-law,
with a wintry and sarcastic
smile, from whc ghostly mouth
are to be seen issuing the words : "I
Lave come to pay a nice, long visit,
dear." This apparition is declared
14 be even more etlective than the
preeeeding one. In one instance in
which the test was applied, it was
attended by strikirg results. The
victim, casting one horrified glance
at the apparition, rushed precipitate
ly toward the stairs, and, clearing
tnem at a bound, disappeared, and,
strange to say, has never been heard
-of since.

There should be good judgment
used in the selection of breeding
fowls. Vigorous females, as well
as males, should be selected. We
mean by this that the color of plu
mage, symmetry and the carriage
that denotes good health should be
cont-idertd.
Cleanliness and a variety of food
will often prevent the spread of con
tagion among hogs. Too much
grain and an insufficient supply of
bulk food is more injurious than
many euppoee, although the hog is
seldom fed with the same care as is
bestowed on other etock.
-Where la lbs Bread."
The other day a young Lou-ewife
left her home in Cincinnati to spend
a few days with several lady frienda
ia Hamilton. Before jroiog she pro
vided a good supply of coid edibles
for her husband and told him he
could help himself when ever he
was hungry. He took lunch down
town and went home in the evening
for dinner.
As he tells the story be found
cold chickers, cold butter, cold pie,
coid milk, cold slt, cold mustard,
and several other cold dishes, but
with all that he was not entirely
satisfied, and hunted bih and low
for something else. At first he did
not know what it was, but finally
concluded that he wanted bread.
He knew there was some in the
house but he could not find it Fin

wife, for he could not live without

It was on the piazza of a Tucson
hotel. Three men sat there in the
warm and drowsy afternoon. They
baa uncovered their beads for com

tle Gtreak of sunlight gilded the
skulls, and as they eat there another
came up and looked at them. Then
he slowly took out his revolver. A
simultaneous movement took place
on the part of the three men but the
stranger waved his hand for peace.
and, holdi. g up his weapon, asked
the middle man :

A Great Newspaper Enterprise.
Journalistic enterprise of the old
times, though not of much account
beside the wonderful achievements
of the present day. was well worth
boasting about, anyway. For in
stance read the following, from the
Louisville (Ivy.) Courier, of Fri
day, December 10, 1S47, under the
bead of " The President's Message : "
" This lengthy document, which we
have the pleasure of laying before
our readers in the form of an extra,
was delivered at Washington at noon
on Tuesday last It was carried toi
Philadelphia oy special railroad ex
press, and from that point it was dis
patched to Louisville by the mag-j
netic telegraph expressly for The
Courier, Journal, and Democrat.
This is the greatest newspaper en
terprise ever attempted in any quar
ter of the world, and is one of the
most wonderful feats ever accom
plishes by the aid of mans genius.
The enormous outlay necessary to
procure this document may be judg
ed from the fact that the regular
charge lor telegraphing from Phila
delphia to Louisviile is eight cents
for every word."
He Could Do It.
A prominent Methodist clergy
man tells the following story of an
old Baptist preacher who always
contrived to lug baptism into his
sermons, whatever bis text might be.
The old gentleman was asked one
day if he could possibly preach a
sermon without alluding to his fa
vorite doctrine. He said he could
and would if they would give him a
text without any baptism in it The
first chapter of Ezra, ninth verse,
was selected, which read as follows:
"And this M the number of them :
thirty charges of gold, a thousand
charges of silver, nine and twenty
knives." He entered tLe pulpit, read
bis text, and said : "My brethren.
