Passion Week in Paris may be termed
t he "feast of eggs." Every good Cathe
1 e not only fasts every Friday through
out the year, but for week together at
Easter. The Church does not allow at
any time any flesh food; but eggs way
be eaten in any quantity. On the first
day In Passion Week everybody presents
every one else with some little preseut
emblematical of an egg in some shape
or other, which is known as Paschal
egg 4 (ccufi det Pasque). Among a people
so iugeuious In Uifles as Parisians, the
opportunity is not lost, so that egg
shaped articles are to be bad In every
conceivable variety of material. Oue
would think that the once Imperial
Eagle of France had summoned all the
birds of the air to come to Paris, build
their nests in shop windows, and there
deposit their eggs; for, go where you
ill, look into whatever shop you faucy,
there jou see tggs Irom the size of a
- caraway com fit, such as is found In the
uest of the humming-bird, to one as
large as a bowl the ostrich or emu's
egg. The toy shops are full of egg
suaped boxes; within tlieui are dolls
and playthings. Here you have choco
late egs full of cream where the yolk
should be; there you have sugar eggs
filled with liquor; and again, ivory
eggs, within which is a scent-bottle.
Passing along the streets are women
with barrows, crying aloud, "Dts auft!
Dtsauj!" eggs! eggs! On their per
ambulating boards are piled two lots of
eggs, one white, natural ; the other red,
cooked in log-wood water. Thus red
eggs, ready boiled, are sold in every
street in Paris ; and aut runes is the
synonym of aufs de Patque, in their
literal seuse meaning Paschal or Easter
eggs, and in the more acceptable oue,
the presents usually giveu at Easier
time.
aouie of the nests are beautiful works
of art. Here is a stoat or weasel stealth
ily climbing up a tree to suck the eggs,
with the parent bird in battle array,
. ready to drive the intruder away. Here
again a cuckoo has turned out a little
chaffinches' egg, which lies broken on
the ground below, while she has left
her own for a foter-parent to hatch.
Altogether in Paris Easter eggs are oue
of its sights, and well worth seeing.
The rank of Princess does not shield
her from a salute on the cheek by the
lowest boor that presents her an egg at
Easter, in Kusla; and the custom of
distributing peace, or pack ege the
Passover or Easter egg is still observed
by the peat-anty in different parts of
England; while the young people of
Scotland, where the festival has been
suppressed lor centuries, still throw
aboutand play with hard-boiled, colored
eggs, which they finally eat.
In the days when old and young alike
received these eggs, the demand for
them was such that they commanded
oftentimes great prices. After they
were boiled hard, and coiored in red,
violet, blue, green, etc., dyes, Inscrip
tions and various designs were traced
ou them; and those thus ornamented
were exchanged by those sentimei. tally
Inclined, very much after the 6atne
fashion as are the Valentines of the
present day. The plainer ones were
saved by the youth, and used on Easter
Monday in playing ball, which, by the
way, was a favorite game.
On Easter Monday, even the clergy
indulged in the delights of this game
of ball, which men, women and chil
dren reveled in. In many instances it
formed a part of their service; bishops
and deans taking a ball to church, and,
at the commencement of the anthem,
while dancing to the music, threw it to
the choristers, who handed it back and
forth to each other during the singing.
After this service they ail retired for
refreshments, which usually consisted
of a dish of bacon, with tansy pudding
this last symbolical of the bitter herbs
they were commanded to take at the
Paschal feast.
Female Irueliata.
WjmeD have often been the cause of
duels, from the heroic age when Paris
and Menelaus fought for the far-famed
Helen of Troy to these latter days of the
Bennett and May embroglio. Men
heroic or foolish enough have always
been found to take up the fair one's
quarrel's, but that they should deign
iua.-culine assistance and shy their own
castors seems shocking to civilization
and disgraceful to womankind. Mad
ame de Villeclien says that the Henri
ette Sylvie, of Moliere, fought a duel
with short swords with another female,
botli being disguised In masculine attire.
Madame Dunoyer, in her letters, speaks
of a lady of Beaucaire who fought a
duel with a young lady of rank, and so
enraged were the combatants that the
issue wonld have been fatal but for the
timely interference of attendants. Two
ladies of easy virtue fought one on the
Boulevard St. Antoine, and hacked up
each other's faces and bosoms in ap
proved style, says De La C mbiere.
Mademoiselle Durieux fought her lover,
Aulonotti, in open street. But the
most celebrated female duelist of mod
ern times was the actress, Maupid. j
From Scranet the fencing master, who'
was one of her lovers, she learned the
art, and never let slip an opportunity
to pnt her lessons in practice. When
the actor Lumeny insulted her she de
manded satisfaction, and when he re
fused it, she stole his watch and snuff
box, which she kept as trophies. At
tending a ball one evening, she 'nsulted
a lady, aud was requested to leave the
r.xm. "I will," said she, "if those
gentlemen who warmly espouse the
lady's cause will accompany me."
Three gentlemen followed. She killed
them all, received pardon from Louis
X.IV , and soon after repaired to Brus
sels, where she became the mistress of
the Elector of Bavaria. During the
Regency, the Marquise of Nelse and
the Countess Polignac fought with pis
tols for the possession of the rakish Due
de Richelieu. In 1827 a lady of Cha
teauroux called out a -man who bad
slapped her husband's face, and severe
ly wounded him. The gay and festive
Lola M outer, who now sleeps at Green
wood, was in lavor of dueling. In 1846
she was mistress, at Paris, of Dujarier,
the editor of La Preue, and when her
paramour fought with Bouvallon, editor
of the Globe, she said in giving her testi
mony at th trial cf Bouvallon : I was
a better shot than Dujarier, and if Bou
vallon wauted satisfaction I would have
fought him myself." Poor dead Du-
jarier had left her most of his fortune,
and she shortly proceeded to Munich,
where the young King of Bavaria fell a
slave to her charms and created her the
Countess of Landsfeldt.
Statistics show thatihe annual con
sumption of egtrs in the United States
is about 10,COO,OUO barrels. The oultry
marketed or consumed in 1877, is esti
mated at 6S').000,UU0 pounds, ol the value
ol 168,000.000.
One winter evening about fifty years
ago, a post-chaise, with a single gentle
man inside it, drove op to the little inn
on the Pentland Firth, in the north of
Scotland, where passengers who were
going to cross to the Orkneys usually
spent the night. The gentleman, whom
we will call Mr. Mac T., v. as the owner
of a large estate, and an old house
which had belonged to his family for
hundreds of years, in the Mainland, or
chief of the Orkney Islands, and was
now about to visit his property. It was
a blustering, stormy night, but that
only made more pleasant the cigar and
the glass of whiskey, and the crackling
wood fire by which Mac T. sat chatting
with the landlord, who was an old
friend both of Ms father and himself,
and who w as proud of entertaining the
"young laird," as he called him, with
his wildest tales of adventure on the
sea. They did not, however, sit lite,
for the Orkney packet sailed very early
in the morning, and Mac T. soon found
himself in his cosy well-appointed little
bedroom. The wind was chanting a
grand Berserker melody, and the sea
was roaringadeep bass accompaniment.
Mac T. loved these sounds, for they
had often been the lullaby of his child
hood, and soon fell asleep.
For some hours he slept without an
linage or a thought reaching his mind;
but at length, w hen the morning was
glimmering grey in the east, a strange
dream came to trouble him. lie dreamt
that he was in the ancient banqueting
hall of his own house, in the Mainland,
sitting at the head of a very long table.
The banqueting hall was now in reality
almost a ruin, but in his dream Mac T.
saw it hung w ith tapestry, and blazing
with a hundred lights. The table was
well filled on both sides, and bethought
he glanced curiously down its length to
see who his guests were. As he looked
he shuddered in his dream. Those w ho
sat at the table with him were all his
dead ancestors for many generations
back. He knew their faces and dresses
well from their portraits in the picture
gallery. Next to hiin sat his own
father, who had died about a year
before. And at ths bottom of the table
sat a fair-haired man in a dress of skins
who was a Xorse chieftain, the founder
of the family. It seemed to him that
he sat for some miuutes as if spell
bound, w hile the spectres murmured
together in low, hollow tones. At
length they all rose, and slow ly, one
by one, in turns, left the hall. But be
fore they went, each one paused at the
door, and turning, raised his hand In a
w arning attitude, fixed his eyes on Mae
T., and said in a deep voice, the word
"beware."
"The packet starts in twenty minutes,
sir," cried a loud voice at the door,
rousing Mac T. suddenly from sleep.
Confused at first, yet soon remember
ing where he was, he sprang out of bed
and began hurriedly to dress himself.
Being a bad sailor, his first glance was
naturally enough at the sea, close to
which the inn stood. The wind had
risen in the night. The waves thun
dered on the shore, and the little
Orkney packet was tossing up and
down like a limpet shell. As he gazed,
his strange dream rose up with a sudden
distinctiveness before Mac T.'s mind.
He w as infected w ith a good deal of
thorough Scotch superstition. Besides
he did not much like the look of the
sea, and so he resolved not to go till
to-morrow. That day the Orkney
packet was lost with every man on
board, and Mac T. and his little wife,
w ho was left at home w ith the babies,
had to thank that warning dream for
his life.
lie Found the Klght Man.
A thin old man with a pinched face,
arrayed in a shiny black suit with a
whitish appearance near the seams, and
a faded, weather beaten black tile, was
standing on the corner of Fourth and
Race streets the other day, near the
peauut stand, looking first up one street,
then down the other, then at the chest
nut roaster, then up to the tops of the
buildings, and then at the niaiiy signs
scattered about on the walls. His
manner was hesitating and troubled,
and soon attracted the attention of "Old
Dan," the hand expressman, who
makes his headquarters on that corner,
and stepping up he said :
'Are you lost, stranger, or w as you
lookin' for somebody V
'You dou't happen to know a man by
the name Manxley, do you?' Joseph
Manxley,"theold gentleman auswered,
with another question.
'Yes,' said the expressman. 'I kuow
a feller by the name Manxley, but I
don't know what his first name is.
What's he foller?T asked the stranger,
steadying himself on his cane to keep
his hacking cough from throwing him
down.
'I don't know exactly, but I guess he
kind 'o tinkers around the O. & M.
freight depot.'
'What sort of a looking feller is he?'
the old man asked, with much anxiety,
removing his hat and planting it tight
ly on his head to prevent the wind from
making way w ith it.
'Well, squire,' said the man of the
cart, 'he's a spindle-shanked, long-legged,
pipe-stem sort of a hairpin, as lean
as a fondiin,' and as homely as a yaller
dog.'
'That sounds like Joe,' said the old
man with dancing eyes; go on go on.'
'His hair redder'n a country school
house.' Closer an closer.
'An' as for freckles, why sir, as sure
as you are a bald-head, he's got 'em as
thick as they can stick. I was along
with him two or three Sundays ago
when he went to get a deg- rrytpye took,
an' I hope to never sleep if the boss of
the shop didn't have to give him four
heavy coats of powdered chalk before
lie could even get started on a picture
that didn't look as though it was badly
worm-eaten.
'Better au' better,' exclaimed the old
man rubbing his hands; 'how's his
eyes ?'
'The worst case of squint you ever
saw can't look at a man without turn
ing half way round.' .
'That hits him to a dot that's Joe,
sure. But how's gait outside of looks.
Is it stuck up any? Got any conceit
about him?' and the old man held his
breath until the answer came.
'Stuck up) Conceited! Great grip
sacks ! but I should say so, exclaimed
Dan, with a laugh that wakened up the
old peauut seller who was fast asleep
in his box. 'Well, I should remark.
hy, bless your heart, squire, you
ought to see hi in sailing down town on
Saturday night with his store clothes
on, an' his hat hangia' on his ear, with
his knees hittin' him in the breast at
every step. Why doggone it all, you'd
swear from his looks that George Wash
ington's overcoat wouldn't make him a
vest.
'Hurrah !' shouted the old man. jump
ing till his bones creaked, 'that's my
son! That's Joe that's him, an' no
mistake this time. Where can 1 find
thU boy?'
AGRICULTURE.
Swnrr Cora. As a forage crop tweet
corn is growing In favor and rapidly
supplanting other fodder crops in the
estimation of the farmer. My own
carefully formed opinion is that well
cured sweet corn fodder is worth more
than its weight in any other dry fod
der, not excepting hty, while there is
no green crop to fill the place of sweet
corn to feed in the Summer and Automn
months. Every farmer could carry a
few more cattle, and keep them in bet
ter condition, keep the cows from
shrinking the supply of milk during
the hot season, and in a season of
drought, prevent disastrous loss by
growing a few acres of sweet corn.
There is no better food for work horses
fian wilted corn fodder, while for fit
ting np horses for sale it is superior to
any other food, giving a glossy coat and
putting on flesh rapidly. Ho dry fodder
is cured with less expense. My plan Is
to cut and when withered bind in con
venient bundles and set up in small
shocks. After they are thoroughly dried
put into larger shocks and feed as re
quired. I can grow from six to nine
tons per acre, and the cattle will eat
clean and thrive. Sow in drills with
corn drill, or grain drill by removing
teeth and closing seed orlfljes not
needed. Cultivate thoroughly, cut
when the ear is well formed, and you
will find growing sweet corn for fodder
a good investment. In these times of
low prices one must either cheapen or
increase production, or both, to make
farming pay. Sweet corn fodder will
do this by giving mere flesh and milk,
and enabling the farmer to keep more
stock on the same acreage by feeding
during the hot, dry season.
Fr oh thk Farm. We often hear
the remark, "How dull farming must
be;" or "Who would live in the coun
try, where there are no opportunities
for fun?" Well then if you want to
know what genuine fun is, just pitch
in and help to break a pair of three-year-old
steei s. First, you catch a steer and
tie him to a post in the barnyard. Then
you catch the other one and tie a rope
.round his horns. Then your dad gets
the yoke and between you two and the
hired man you get it fastened on their
necks. Then the old man tells you to
untie the rope gently, while he aud the
hired man hold the critters. Just as
you slip the knot, away go the steers
with a bawl and a bellow or rather a
pair of bellows and there arises a con
tused mixture of horns, heels, tails,
ropes, dad, hired man and curses on
your stupidity, that reminds you of the
picture of a volcanic eruption in the
old geographies. And that's only the
beginning of the fun. Bye-aud-bye
dad gets hold of one rope and the hired
man gets hold of the other and they run
races down the lane the steers "neck-
and neck" and the old man performing
the curse on the serpent. Then there
is the time in haying when dad under
takes to show you how to mow over a
bumble-bees' nest. He ain't afraid of
these bees, nor needn't be just go right
along they never sting unless you
fight 'em; and then Mwhish!"get out
o' the way I and dad's swatb comes to a
sudden stop and he departs for the
house and hartshorn on a dead run, at
the business end of a dozen yellow-
legged bumble bees. Oh, no, there isn't
any fun on a I arm I
Good stock, of the best breeds, can be
purchased at very low prices tills
spring. This is especially true of thor
oughbred pigs. The low price of pork
products tends to lessen the demand for
pigs, and breeders are willing to accept
prices wnlcn would nave heretofore
been no temptation. We shall not be
surprised to find young pies In good
demand within the next year and be
lieve that it Is a good time now to buy
for the improvement of stock. As a
general rule, it is a good time to engage
in the production of any crop or class
of stock when it Is low. Especially is
this true of products or classes of stock
the demand for which is limited, or
which can be soon produced in
quantities to overstock the market. We
might enumerate tobacco, broom-corn
and hops; and the same is true of pigs
which multiply so rapidly that a single
season affords time for stocking the
country.
Thk low price of clover seed should
induce farmers to sow it on lands used
for oats if there is any doubt about fol
lowing by wheat. On lands a little too
wet for wheat, but fair for oats, it will
be wise to sow clover and let it remain
for a crop next y t, for ten to one it
will bring a better return than wheat
would, and it will certainly be better
for the land. If wheat is desired, the
clover can be turned next year after
the mowing, and no time will be lost.
OppreMlre Flowers.
Almost all those charming lilaceous
flowers, the hyacinth especially, exhale
a perfume which, however sweet when
first perceived, affects the nerves, brings
on headache and loss of appetite, end
ing in unaccountable indisposition, its
real cause being unsuspected. Many
bulbs supposed to be innocent in this
respect, because no scent is perceived
w hen they blossom outdoors, really are
not so ill the confined and warmer air
of a living room. Example the annual
ly welcome snow drop, of which Mrs
Barbauld wrote that it looks as if Flora
"By some transforming power
Had changed an telcle into a nower,
its name and hoe the scentless plant retains,
While winter linger la lu lev veins."
But bring a clump of blooming snow
drops into the comfortable temperature
which your apartments keep up in Feb
ruary and you will discover that the
snowy milkflower, galanthus nivalis,
so far from being scentless, gives out
emanations of sulllcient power to op
press your forehead with a heavyweight.
A great admirer of hyacinths, who could
not stand their smell, used to grow

ev -Jersey's Clay. The report of the
Geological Survey of New-Jersey In
cludes a volume solely devoted to the
clay deposits. These, according to the
map furnished, occupy a strip nearly on
a lice from South AmDoy to irenton,
with a width narrowing from eight to
five miles. After reaching the Dela
ware, the width of the clay in the State
is much reduced, but iu southwest
direction is continuous along the border
between New-Jersey and Pennsylvania.
South of the clay, adjoining and
parallel to it, Is an area of green aand
marl, of a width varying from twenty
to ten miles, stretching southwesterly
across the State from Sandy Book on
the Atlantic to Salem on the Delaware.
These deposits have long been known,
but their value and extent have not
been recognized till very recent years.
During the Revolutionary war tneciay
was in demand as "fullers' earth" to
cleanse the buckskin breeches of the
soldiers. About the beginning of this
century, a manufacture of stoneware
pottery or this clay was started, nut me
industry was of no great Importance so
late as 1840. In 1874, the amount of
fire-clav and stoneware clay dug
annually near South Amboy was esti
mated at a value of over fl.uuo.uw, ana
twelve potteries in Trenton, employing
2,000 operatives, were turning out per
year 11,500,000 worth or wnite eartnen
and ironstone ware. The Geological
Report gives particulars respecting the
clay of each locality, and in most in
stances a careful analysis. Advice is
also tendered as to boring for clays in
localities not yet productive, and good
hope is held out that sucn examinations
may prove profitable. To be worth
working, the clay should not be over
twentv-tlve feet below the surface, and
the deposit not less than fifteen feet
thick.

Lighting a Jloom bf it Wall Paper.
Referring to the suggestion made in
Germany that wall paper could be
coated with oxalate of copper, which
appears lighter as the room grows
darker, and vice verta the Manufacturer
and Builder advances tne mea mat a
room might be made temporarily self
luminous by similar means. There are
several salts which absorb light exposed
to it, and give it out afterwards. Among
these are the sulphides of barium and
strontium, and certain coal-tar extracts
of the anthracene series. The nest way
to produce the eflect would be to employ
a bowerlul electric light in the room
for a short time, until the wall paper
had acquired its phosphorescent power,
and then cut off the electricity and
admit visitors into the room. Any

Cleopatra' Titedle is to stand on the
Victoria Embankment, at tne Aaeipni
Steps, London. The objection bad been
raised that, although the foundations ot
the Embankment were laid in solid con
crete, yet this rested on a stratum of
Thames mud and ooze, so mat to erect
au obelisk weighing, with its substruc
ture, about 200 tons would be a
hazardous experiment, J ne engineer
of the Board of Works replied by point
ing to the iron pillars of the Charing
Cross Bridge, close by, which had long
borne a weight on each square foot
double that of the obelisk. The site
was finally chosen by the board, and
the Needle will be placed where its pro
portions will not be dwarfed by sur
rounding buildings, and where, as Mr.
Dixon savs. the splendid gray granite
of the Embankment, the solid grandeur
of Waterloo Bridge, the distant back
ground of Somerset House, the river,
and the Adelphi Gardens form appro
priate surroundings.
Brocades.
The ancients were acquainted with
sold brocades. They called them auro-
teztile, rettes, ex auro text at, also chryto-
clarum, auroclarum, or fundatum. All
these names designate silk fabrics, in
terwoven with gold thread, the silk
forming the background to the brighter
threads of gold, setting ont the pattern
in gold on a silk ground, or else form
ing a gold ground for a silk pattern. Iu
the middle ages the name for this arti
cle of luxury, so highly prized, both on
account of the heaviness of its folds and
its elegance, was Baldachinus,
from Baldach, i. e. Bagdad or Baby
Ion. We must not, however, conceive
of these gold threads as we seem them
to-day, or in the brocades of the six
teenth century ; that is, as consisting
of a thick thread of silk, around which
a thinly drawn and more or less gilded
sliver wire had been twisted. This
discovery was not made until the fif
teenth century, in Italy. The gold
thread of the ancients, down to the
fifteenth century, was not round and
drawn as a wire, but is cut in little thin
and flat strips. This strip is not an ani
mal but a vegetable substance, but.tho
skin of a plant, which has been gilded
on one side and wound spirally or
twisted around a more or less coarse
thread of linen or cotton. This discov
ery was doubtless made in China, and
the gold thread for all the manufacto
ries was obtained from the East, until
the modern, more expensive, but more
valuable Italian discovery, rendered
the importation unnecessary. We find
the same system of manipulation in ail
Japanese gold braids, and in a fabric
in the Bavarian National Museum,
which dates back far into the sixteenth
century. Tbe brocade is produced by
means of gilt paper. Therefore, bro
cades made of gilded silver wires do not
date-further back than the fifteenth
century. Generally they are to be as
signed to the later half of the fifteenth
century, especially the non-Italian
fabrics; because tbe new gold was
more expensive than the favorite one
iu use.

Dcbmo a recent visit to Mr. Ilumann,
In Oatheim, I bad an opportunity of be-
umlnii ennainrerl with a verV success
ful method of speedily getting rid of
ants, wnicn are so irouoiesome in iuc
One takes small bottles, fills them half
full of syrup or sweetened water, and
puts them in the places where the ants
have their passage-ways, in such a
nuniwr thuf. the neeks of the bottles
lean against tbe wall or board, in order
that tne ants may easny lau iuui mc
trap and drown.
By means cf camphor ants can be
driven from rooms where honey is
stored.
In gardens, lime-dust operates very
destructively upon them. Their bills,
after being scratched open, are sprinkled
with lime dust, and then hot water is
poured on them.
To render jars of honey or preserved
fruits inaccessible to these insects, place
the jars in chests whose bottoms have
been previously covered with ashes or
pulverized chalk.
How to Remove t buckles. Freckles
are not easily washed out of those who
have a florid complexion and are mucn
In the sunshine; but the following
washes are not only harmless Dut very
much the best of any we know: Grate
horse radish fine, let it stand a few
hours in buttermilk, 'strain and use tbe
wash night and morning. Or squeeze
the juice of a lemon in a goblet of water
and use the same way. Most of tbe
remedies for freckles are poisonous, and
cannot be used with safety. Freckles
indicate a defective digestion, and con
sist in depositee of carbonaceous or fatty
matter beneath the scarf skin. The diet
should be attended to, and should be of
such a nature that the bowels and
kidneys will do thair duty. Daily bath
ing with much friction should not be
neglected and tbe Turkish bath taken
occasionally, ir it is convenient.
Boss Felon. Of all painful things,
can there be any so excruciatingly
painful as a bone felon? We know of
none that flesh is heir to, and as this
malady is quite frequent, and the sub
ject of much earnest consideration, we
irive tbe latest recipe for its cure, wmcn
Is given by that high authority, the
London Lanr-et: "AS soon as tne imisa
tion which indicates the disease is felt,
put directly over the spot a fly blister,
about tbe size of a thumb nail, and let
it remain for six hours, at the expira
tion of which time, directly under the
surface of the blister may be seen the
felon, whicn can be instantly taken out
with the point of a needle or a lancet."
Lyosxaise Potatoes. Put a table-
spoonful of butter into a frying pan,
and, when melted, throw In two table
spoonfuls of chopped onion. Have
ready, sliced, a pint of cold boiled, or
steamed potatoes. When the onion is
turning brown put in the sliced iiotato,
and a little chopped parsley ; season to
taste with pepper and salt and turn the
potatoes over with a broad-bladed knife
until they are well heated, and very
slightly colored, when they should be
served immediately.
To Prevent the Hair Falling.
Pour a wine-glassful of dry table salt
upon a sheet of paper. While the hair
is dry dip a metallic hair-brush or a stiff
bristle hair-brush into the salt, rubbing
it into the roots of tbe hair. Apply
daily until the hair ceases to fall ; then
discontinue. Alum water will check
the fall of hair that has become saturated
and drowned with the me of oils, act
ing as an astringent. A strong decoction
of the herb "boneset" is a good tonic
for the hair.
To Cleanse a Nursery Carpet.
Have a pail of very warm water; throw
In a tablespoonful of powdered borax ;
then, witlfa clean scrubbing-brush, and
a very little of any soap, acruo well the
soiled places, riuse with clean hot water,
and rub very dry with a clean soft
cloth ; if possible open the windows to
dry quickly.
Crcst fok Meat Pies. One quart of
sifted flour, three tablespooiisful of
good, firm lard, well chopiied in, two
and one-half cupfuls of sweet milk, one
teaspoon! ul ol soda, wet with very little
hot water and mixed In with milk; two
teaspoonsful of cream of tartar, silted
into the dry flour, little salt; work
quickly, and not make very stiff.
Steamed Corn Bread. 4 caps of
outtermtiK, 4 cups or meal, a cups ol
flour, a cup or more of sugar or
molasses, 4 teaapoonfuls of salcratus, 4
of salt; put Into a 2-quart pan, cover
with pie tin or plate, set iu steamer over
a kettle with about 3 quarts of cold
water at 9 o clock and steam until noon.
To Rid a House or Fleas. Sprinkle
plenty of common table salt all over tbe
carpets just before the sweeping is
done, and sweep often. If this is fol
lowed closely the fleas will disappear
within a tew weeks.

HUMOROUS.
Osly pRACricwo. Two Intimate
friends met on the street the other day,
after a short separation, and the follow
ing curious conversation ensued :
"Ah, bow d'ye do, old leuow v crieu
the first one heartily.
Second i riend (shrugging his shoul
ders) : "O, tray bang."
First Friend (looking a little startled) :
"Nice day, U It not?"
Second do.: "Ah, we, say bang sure."
First do. (doubtfully ; "You are not
111, are you f"
Second do. (with indignation) : "Oh,
nong."
First do. becomes uneasy; thinking
his friend is mad, he says, "Well, good
day," and moves away.
The Second smiles from ear to ear,
shrugs shoulders, and replies: "Ah,
bang sure, mong amie."
All the day Number One feels ex
tremely bad about his neighbor's un
fortunate condition, and be does not
discover tbe truth of the matter until
evening, when, as he is reading of the
Paris exposition, he suddenly recollects
that his friend is going to France, and
is studying the language. He was only
practicing French in a preliminary sort
of wav.
Number One smiles as he thinks of
the fate In store for the unfortunate
natives of La Belle France.
His Mistake. Asa Woodward avenue
car, having a dozen passengers, was
coming down town, a long-necked man
who hadn't smiled since the last Cali
fornia earthquake, suddenly tried to
throw up a window, and at the same
time called out :
"There's a robin there's one of the
beautiful Spring songsters I"
Some rushed to the platform and
others looked from the windows, but
they could not see the bird. Finally
one man asked :
"Where is it what tree is he on?"
"I guess 'taint a robin after all," re
plied the strange man as he drew in his
head. "Come to look closer 1 see it Is
an old horse drawing half a cord of
stove wood on a wagon I"
The passengers thought they heard
the noise of a coffee mill at work, but
it was only the stranger's wsy of laugh
ing down his throat.
A PhOMPT Mclb. A good story is
told of a deacon in Tennessee, who was
in the habit of riding a bucking mule
that is a mule that can make a camel's
back of its straight one, and, by a spas
modic movement of Its four legs and
hump, discharge its rider like a cannon
ball. The other day he came to the
edge of the worst mud hole In the state,
and tbe mule gave unmistakable indica
tions of bucking. The good deacon
knew tnat be was about to be thrown,
and his m.nd hurried about for a prayer.
His table grace came easiest: "Lord,
for what we arj about to receive make
us humbly thankful," he exclaimed,
and the mule had bucked, and he was

O.ie Ahead. A number of boys were
playing in front or a Chinese wash
house, when John came out and ordered
them away, and took hold or one who
didn't want to go.
You're a heathen !" yelled the boy.
"Me samee you me have alle Melican
holidays!'' replied John.
"No you don't !" protested the boy.
"You kin jine In with New Year's,
hang up yer stocking on Christmas and
toiler the purseshiou on Fourth of J uly,
but when it comes to April fool you've
got to stand 'way back in the woods and
not mix in ! We're one ahead of you,

Ait Economical Max. A family is
discussing the quaUHcatlnnsof a gentle
man who has presented himself as a
candidate for the position of son-in-law.
There is some doubt, inasmuch as some
one has given the intended the character
of a spendthrift. Inquires are made
among the tradesmen who know him.
One day the rather comes in all radiant.
"Make yourself easy, my child, I have
seen his washerwouiau. He doesn't

her more than a shilling a week."
Weather or Not. Mr. Tremmles:
"1 assure you, Mrs. Jones, I would
never go out at all, If I could help it, in
this dreadful climate one day hot, the
next cold. What miserably wretched
weather we have," Mrs. J.: "We do,
indeed, Mr. Tremmles; but try and
bear up; it's better than none, you
know."
"Understand me, Mrs. Trevolr, I
don't say that your man was drunk, or
that he had been drinking even, but my
husband says be can prove by three
wituesses that they saw him try to pare
an apple with a corkscrew in broad
daylight, and I thought that looked so
suspicious I felt it my duty as a neigh
bor to come and ten you about it."

A lemoraUaed Editor.
An editor was sitting in his easy
chair, buoyant in mind and heart, with
the calm serenity and blissful tran
quility that none but editors know. A
shuttling sound at the door brought him
back to earth, and facing nervously
about, he beheld a man, of deep, de
termined look, closing the door behind
him. With a sickly feeling of forebod
ing, the editor motioned toward a chair,
and. gazed upon the intruder, helpless
and breathless, resigned to meet the
worst.
The hand of the man wandered
toward his breast pocket. The editor's
cheek blanched and his lipa turned
blue. Alas! alas! he had guessed
aright the dread mission of the stranger.
The man pulled out a bundle of let
ters and papers. The head of the editor
fell forward upon his breast, and the
hands dropped listless from the amis of
his chair.
"My errand is not a pleasant one,"
said the visitor, speaking slowly.
"Thank heaven!" exclaimed the
editor, plucking up courage. "Out
with it suspense is worse than fate."
"I have an execution on your home,"
continued the man, w ith professional
sadness. "The mortgage has been
foreclosed.". - .
"Iloora ! ba ! ha !" roared the editor,
springing up, and nearly shaking the
man's arm off. "Heaven be praised !
but what a scare you did give me !

Tensnea
Nnthlnir but the Droboecia of an ele
phant compares in muscular flexibility
with the tongue. It varies in length
and size in reptiles, birds aud mammalia,
according to the peculiar organic cir
cumstance of each. A giraffe's tongue
has the functions of fl ngers. It is hook
ed over high branch, its strengin
heinir eoual to breaking off large, strong
branches of trees, from which tender
leaves are then stripped. An antnear s
tongue is long and round, like a whip
lash. The animal tears open dry, clay
walls of ant-hills, thrusts in Its tongue,
which sweeps round tbe apartments,
and by its adhesive saliva brings out a
yard of ants at a swoop. The mechan
ism by which it is protruded so far Is
both complicated and beautiful. A dog's
toDgue in lapping water takes a form,
by a mere act of volition, that cannot
be imitated by an ingenious mechanism.
Tbe human tongue, in the articulation
of language, surpasses in variety of
motions the wildest imagination of a
poet. Even in swallowing food iu
office is so extraordinary that physiolo
gists cannot explain the phenomena of
deglutition without employing the aid
of several sciences.
"III! where did you get them

who happened to be passing, with a re

indignant reply. "1'hen, be me con
science," said Paddy, "you've pulled
them a year too soon !"
