CHEAP and Convixiixt Motob ro.
Farms. Tbe demand for ft low-power
motor for light work la shops and faring
hag brought out a new steam and water
engine. Amors; the more recent steam
motors of this class is a portable engine
and boiler of one-horse power, that pre
sents some features of value to the far
mer and small manufacturer. The boiler
is cast in a single heavy piece of car
wheel iron, and depends for its safety
on its great thickness. It consists of two
circular castings, each thirty-eight cen
timeters (fifteen inches) in diameter,
and joined together by lour vertical
tubes. The fire-box is placed in the
middle of the lower casting, and thus
surrounded by the water. The smoke
flues are taken up through the ce: tre
of each of the tubes that join the two
parts of the boiler. A light dome fits
over the top of the upper casting and
serves to connect the flues with the
chimney. By this simple arrangement
is secured a good water surface, direct
upward draught and plenty of steam
space above aiid surrounding the flues.
The vertical engine, with all its proper
appliances, is placed at the side of the
boiler near the top, and takes its steam
directly from the upper part of the
boiier and throws its exhaust into the
stack above the boiler. Kvery appliance
essential in a first-class engine is sup
plied in a compact and convenient foria,
and the boiler is fitted with safety
valve, water-glass, blow-off check
va'.ves, gauge cocks and rocking grate
for the tire. The engine is said to work
at an expense of only ten cents aday in
burning hard coal for the one-horse
power.
IIoRSEsiiOKixa. On an average
horses require shoeing once a month.
The length of time a shoe will wear de
pends much on the kind of service a
hore is doing and on the kind of road
he is daily traveling. A team horse in
heavy draught does not wear out as
many shoes as one used In a h ck ; quick
motion grinds shoes down more rapidly
than slo w.use. Some pavement is harder
on shoes than ordinary road, while
the iriction of a gravelly road wears
them away rapidly. Wooden pavement
is but a little saving to the wear and
tear of shoes, for the grit and dust which
become impacted in the interstices of
the wooden block, grind away shoes
like the Iriction of an emery wheel.
The hind shoe wear out first, and there
is more strain and friction on them than
on the lorward shoes. It is impossible
ami improper for a horse to wear shoes
more than six weeks, for the growth of
the foot shortens the shoes, as well as
changes the shape otherwise. The neg
lect will cause the shoe to encroach
upon the soft textures of the foot and
produce lameness.

suflering with any of the disorders of
babyhood use Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup at

I.axd Meascbement. In order that
the farmer should keep an account
with his field, it is first necessary that
he should ascertain its area. If he pro
vides himself with a straight, stiff pole,
one rod long and notched Into yards,
he will be able to ascertain the area as
follows: If the sides of the field are
all parallel, multiply its length in rods
by it breadth iu rods and divide by 160
the quotient will be the number of
acres iu the field. Second, if the field
is triangular in shape multiply the
longest sides in rods by the greatest
width in rods and divide half the pro
duct by 1W, and you will get the area
in acres. Third, when the sides of the
area of the fields are irregular and un
tqual ones, run a line from one extreme
corner to the other, and then find the
area of the two triangles as above, and
add them together. This will give you
the number of acres in the whole field.
Fields, no matter how irregular, may
be measured iu this way by dividing
tbein into triangles.
Rabbits and Fki-itTkbes. A corre
spondent sayo: "1 have used various
remedies to prevent rabbits gnawing
fruit trees, and the best is the follow
ing: Take soft soap and sulphur not
particular as to proportions, so there is
enough soap to incorporate the sulphur,
so that every part of the mass will
readily adhere to the trees. This does
not so readiir wash off as soap alone,
and the sulphur is probably more re
pulsive than any other cheap and con
venient article. Grease, of course, in
jures trees, and blood, bog or other
livers and entrails, axe not always at
hand."

riow deep. The wealth ot the soil
Is not all within six inches of the sur
face. Traveling in Japf
A long ride on a Japanese pack horse
is an epoch in the life of any traveler.
As the animals are shod with straw and
as the roads are very rough, they never
attempt anything beyond a walk, even
with the most violent inducement. The
traveler is perched high up In a hard
pillion, in a sort of a valley, the sides
of which are composed of his luggage,
spare hats, shoes, girths and straps
rolled into bundles; his legs are
doubled so that his knees touch his
chin and the sensation is like that of
being on the back of a camel. Thus
placed he must perform his journey, or
as an alternative he may be driven to
the Kago or litter. This may either be
a basket slung on a pole, or a regular
box with doors and sliding shutters.
The litters of men of rank, such as once
were frequent enough in the streets of
Yeddo, but which have gone the way
of so many remnants of old Japan, were
often small rooms gorgeously decora
ted and painted, but the litters which
the ordinary traveler must use are of
the basket type, and as provocants of
suffering and misery, are second only
to the pack horse. To the native,
whose normal position when not stand
or sleeping is squatting on the heels of
his feet, a confinement of several hours
in a Kago, with scarcely a change of
position, it is no hardship, but to tbe
European the agony of sitting cramped
up in the space of an armchair, with
legs curled up, tucked in or huddled
together, for an indeduite period, must
be actually suffered to be appreciated.
TemiHirary relief may be obtained by
sitting with the legs hanging ever the
sides, but iu this case they either graze
the ground or come in contact with the
bilge holders with which the road is
Uttered, by stretching them out in
front, when they against the coolie, or
by stopping altogether and walking,
which means loss of time, but which is
the only elllcacious method of escaping
the pains of cramp. The Kagois, how
ever, much more rapid than the pack
horse, and far more economical. The
coolies are well trained, sure footed,
stalwart fellows as a rule, four to a lit
ter covering easily their five or six
miles an hour, and resting but rarely.
The motion, however, is very unpleas
ant, and is apt, like that of a swing, to
make the unaccustomed traveler feel
sick.

SCIENTIFIC.
A turiter in the Journal of Science warns
speculator on the population question
that they must henceforth cane to regard
war as one of tbeir "positive cheeks."
Gunpowder contains on an average 75
per cent, salpetre or nitrate of potash,
equivalent to 10.2 per cent, of combined
or available nitrogen. Of this 10.3 per
cent., 9.9S per cent, or practically the
whole, escapes in the form of free nitro
gen, and is consequently rendered use
less. Assuming tbe total production of
gunpowder to be at least 100,003,000
pounds annually, this is shown to mean
the destruction in advance of 500,000,000
pounds of bread a year. Every ounce
of powder used iu war, celebrations,
4c, means the absolute unrecoverable
loss to the world of a certain quantity
of food; diminishes the fertility of the
earth, and makes the struggle for exis
tence steadily more ditllerlt. There is
here furnished an additional argument
against Fourth of July combustion of
gunpowder, and arbitration advocates
may also fairly cite it against war. A
great war hot only extinguishes large
large numbers of useful lives, but does
so at the cost of potential life. If people
buried every year 500,000,000 pounds of
bread in the earth they would be guilty
of frightful prodigality; but then tbe
nitrogen would still be available for the
future. When they burn 100.000,000
pounds of gunpowder, however, they
perform an infinitely more wasteful act
as tbey permanently diminish the
amount of food the earth U capable of
yielding.
The Xtie Process of Flour Making.
Almost everybody knows of flour, but
not every one understands what it
is. Stripped of technicalities, this is
perhaps about the story oi its manufac
ture. 1 he best flour used to be made of
winter wheat. Spring wheat yielded
either much less iu quantity, or else so
much of the bran got into the flour in
its manufacture that its color was in
tolerably dark. The wheat would be
ground and then bolted. In the refuse
the bran and middlings would be in
cluded a large proportion of the weight
of the spring wheat, and this would
sell more particularly for feed for
horses. Xow the best of flour, and the
most expensive, is made of this very
refuse ot the old-fashioned process, it
all came out of the disc" very of a way
to draw out the bran. Under the new
process the wheat is ground about as
before. The first result is- an ordinary
dour sold for exportation. Then the
remainder Is taken and put upon great
horizontal sieves, and, while agitation
Is going on there, au ingenious system
of draughts, rushing up tliroui;h, carries
off the bran. What is left is the gluti
nous portion of the wheat, the most
productive, and out of this, purified
now by the drawing off of the bran, we
get our new process flour.
The Gramme magneto-electric machine
has now lor a considerable time past
been employed for supplying light at
the house ol I'arliamenl iu Loudon, and
an idea of its power may be gathered
Irom the tact, as stated, that it is worked
by a steam engine at a distance of some
ISO feet from the point at which the
light is produced, the current being
conducted thither by copper wires one-
sixtu of an Inch in diameter. Abe
magnets in the machine are arranged
upon three massive rectangular blocks,
aud make revolutions per minute,
at an expense of two and two-thirds
horse power, and give a light equal to
over 3.000 English standard candles. It
is doubtless the most perfect arrange
ment oi trie kind yet attained.
Progress of the Great Tunnel. A recent
report ol ttie insector of the great St.
Gothard tunnel through the Alps states
that the irregular character of the
formations pierced by the tunnel has
entirely ceased, and the at work is now
progressing through uniformly regular
strata. Ou the south side the boring
progresses at the rate of 10 feet daily
through gneiss. The rate is somewhat
less ou the north side, where the tunnel
is not yet out of serpentine. The thick
ness of this stratum of serpentine now
being pierced is already double that
estimated by geologists from the sur
face indications.
The great knots, wens or excrescences
known as loupes, found on the walnut,
maple, and oak, and much prized for
fine veneers, form au important article
of trade in the mountainsseparatingthe
Caspian provinces from Persia. They
are placed iu a large vessel and steamed
for days, until from an adamatine hard
ness they become as soft as cheese.
They are then sliced into thin sheets by
machinery. They harden again by ex
posure aud are sold at prices corres
ponding with their size and betuty.

It it said that mixture or one part ot
dry chloride of calcium, or two pisrUof

become wet in damp weather.
It it announced that Mr. Rassam has
found at Nineveh, imbedded in a wall
of the palace of Assur Bani-Palo, an
round clay cylinder, divided into ten
compartments, and containing nearly
one thousand three hundred lines ot
fine inscription. What th e inscriptio
means has yet to be determined .
Experiments in using the common

in tbe Prussian province of Nassau.
The fibre yielded by this weed Is de

Difference to Beds.
Every nation has its own opinions
and customs concerning beds, and tbeir
fitness for the comfortable repose of the
occupant's very much depends upon
that occupant's idea of what constitutes
comfort. A Persian ambassador was
once shown into ft bedroom, where ft
grand canopied state bed had been pre
pared for him. lie supposed it was a
throne in his audience chamber, re
ceived his visitors seated on it, and re
tired to sleep on the carpet in the corner
of the room in accordance with the
Eastern custom. In taking a furnished
house in Russia, on enquiring lor the
servants' bedrooms and beds, it comes
out that the Russian servants are in the
habit of lying anywhere in the passage
on the Users, on the mats at the room
doors, or even on the carpets in the sitting-rooms
generally as near as pos
sible to the stoves in the winter season.
Beds have been stuffed with all sorts of
commodities; feathers, wool, horsehair,
what is called flock, which is an
omnium gatherum of all sorts of pro
ductions, shavings, bay, straw, and in
the south of Europe with the soft and
elastic dried leaves of maize; dried sea
weed has also been ued, but it is apt to
beccme moist with use, and is therefore
not desirable. In one of the seasons
when hops were abundant in England
it is related of a farmer, that he sold tbe
feathers from all the beds in the house
and replaced them with bops. In an
other year or two when the hops failed,
and the price became very high, the
same bops were disinterred from their
beds, and fetched a considerable sum,
far more than sufficient to replace the
former feathers.
DOMESTIC.
Sick H sad ache. "This complaint Is
ine result or eating too much and exer
cising too little. Nine times in tea tbe
cause is in the fact that the stomach
was not able to digest the food last in
troduced Into It, either from its having
oeen unsuitable or excessive In quantity.
A diet of bread and butter with ripe
fruits or berries, with moderate con
tinuous exercise in the open air, suffi
cient to keep up a gentle perspiration
would cure almost every case in a short
time. Two teasuoonfuls of powdered
charcoal in ft half glass of water and
drank, generally gives instant relief.'
f We are inclined to think that the above
remedies may do in some, but not in all
cases. A sovereign remedy for this
distressing disease is not easily found
A new correspondent from Connecticut
contributes the following on this sub
ject: Sick headache is periodical, and
is the signal of distress which the
stomach puts up to inform ns that there
is an over alkaline condition of its
fluids; that it needs ft natural acid to
restore the battery to iu normal work
ing condition. When the first symptoms
of headache appear take a tables poonful
of lemon juice clear, fifteen minutes
before each meal, and the same dose at
bed time; follow this up until all symp
toms are passed, taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able to
go free from this unwelcome nuisance.
Many will object to this because the
remedy is too simple; but 1 nave made
many cures in this war.
How to Draw Tea Pkopsrlt. It is
a mistake to make tea strong. If the full
flavor is desired. Professional tea-
tasters use but ft single pinch to ft cup
ful of boiling water. In China and
Russia, where tea is made to perfection,
it is very weak, boiling water being
poured upon a few leaves, the decoction
covered for a few minutes, and then
drank hot and clear. Two minutes Is
long enough for tea to stand; and it
should never be boiled, or the fine
aroma which exists in the volatile oil
will be thrown off by evaporation,
leaving as flavoring only the bitter
principle of the tannic acid extracted
by boiling. When hard water is used
in making tea, a little carbonate of soda,
put into the tea pot, will both increase
the strength ol the tea and make it more
nutritious, tbe alkali dissolving tbe
gluten to some extent.
Firmness or tbe Flesh, and Beauty
of the Skix. Bathe the face well with
cold water every morning, winter as
well as summer, by means of a sponge.
Procure ft common garden watering pot,
with tha rose on the spout ; it must hold
about two gallons. Fill with cold
water; and, leaning over a large basin
or bath, pour the contents of the watering-pot
on the shoulders in such a way
that the water may also run over the
chest. Then rub perfectly dry with a
towel, and supply little violet powder
if there be any roughness or soreness
of the skin but not otherwise. The
water will seem very cold at first, but
this sensation will soon pass away, and
it will in due time be used as easily and
comfortably in winter as in summer.
Lamb's Head. Procure the head pre
pared aud tbe brains; cover in water
and boil gently until the flesh separates
from the bone; cut in small pieces,
place iu a saucepan with half a pint of
any good broth, a uble poonful of curry
powder, a dessertspoonful of cuny
paste, one onion chopped flue, a littie
butter; stew gently half an hour. Put
the brains into ft saucepan of boiling
water, let simmer five minutes, skim
out and mince fine; add ft handful of
bread crumbs, a little salt, white pepper
and chopped parsley; mix together
with an egg and form into small round
balls; dip in egg and cracker or bread
crumbs and fry a nice brown, placing
arouud the curry when dished.
To Imitate Ground Glass. Put a
piece of putty in muslin, twist the
fabrics tight, and tie it into the shape
of a pad ; well clean the glass first, and
then apply the putty by dabbing it
equally all over the glass. The putty
will exude sufficiency through the
muslin to render it opaque. Let it dry
bard and then varnish. If a pattern is
required, cut it outon paper as a stencil,
and fix it on the glass before applying
tbe putty, then proceed as above; re
move the stencil when finished. If
there should be any objection to the ex
istence of the clear spaces, cover with
lightly opaque varnish.
Codfish for Friday DrTXi. One
quart picked codfish, cue pint bread
crumbs, a half- pint cream, four oz.
butter, one teaspoonful pepper; wash
the tisti thoroughly and soak ever night
IfS'cold water. When ready to use pick
It fine ; put it in dish in layers, with
the crumbs and pepper (adding a little
mustard if you like) ; over the top layer,
which must be crumbs, spread the
softened butter; pour the cream over
the whole and bake half an hour. Milk
may be used instead of cream.
Corn Starch Cake. Whites or five
eggs, half a cup butter, one cup sugar,
one cup flour, half a cup corn starch,
half cup sweet milk, two teaspoon fills
cream tartar, one spoonful soda.

Der Drummer."
He came down on the train from New
LT111 on last Monday morn.ng. He was
a large man and a man of immense im
portance in his own estimation. At the
depot he met a brother drummer and
stopped to talk with him the 'bus man
was ready to start and is obliged to hurry
to reach the St. Paul train ler drum
mer tells 'bus man to hold on until his
time and patience are exhausted, and
then drives on. Der drummer hails
him, but be won't stop any more.
Drummer gets mad and offers the driv
er of the express wagon half a dollar
to deliver him down. All right he
feels satisfied to pay express man
double fare to beat the old man on the
'bus.
Noon arrives drummer wants to go
to the Sioux City depot to take 1 o'clock
train he won't patronize 'bus man, so
he hires express wagon to haul him over
and pays double fare again to "beat the
old man." At tbe depot he meets sev
eral other drummers. Our sheriff was
there, and he wears a blue ribbon.
Der drummer made fun of the blue rib
bon business, and the sheriff, knowing
all about tbe double fare transaction,
gently drew him out. He told the
whole story, winding up with a few
cuss words about the old man he had
beaten out of two fares. Then the
sheriff suggested that may be he didn't
know that the "old man" owned both
the 'bus and the express wagon. Der
drummer was dumbfounded, and a
whoop went up from the other drum
mers, Der big drummer had paid two
double fares right into tbe pocket of
the 'bus man to beat him, and all the
other drummers will know it and won't
fail to remind him of It occasionally.

Old and Curiam fatenta.
The first patent issued In the United
States Government was to Samuel Hop
kins, on July 31st, 1790, for making
pot or pearl ashes. Patents were Issued
on modes of making candles, flour, and
meal, later in the same year; and iu
1701 Francis Bartley was granted letters
for "punches of types." Also In that
year patents were issued for driving
piles for bridges, machines for thresh
ing grain, for improvements in distil
ling, propelling boats by cattle, and
Improvementsln steam engines. In 1792
was patented a canvas conductor to be
used when houses are on fire, which
may hare been the original of the late
patent fire escape. An Improved mode
of turning a sp!t was patented in 1793;
also a stove of cast Iron. A mschine
for cutting nails was patented by Josiah
G. Peerson on March 23d, 1794. A new
mode of catching fish, was patented In
1795, since which time innumerable
laws have been enacted to compel peo
ple to catch them by the old process.
Removing pains by metallic points was
patented in 1796, and the first improve
ment in pianofortes Is recorded in the
same year; also stays for removing dis
tortions of the spine. A soap-stone
stove was patented in 1797. Billons
pills were first patented In 1796, effemi
nate ropery for spinning rope yarn In
1799, and a washing and wringing ma
chine, the Cavabar, in 1800. Ebenexer
Whiting received a patent for ft cotton
gin on January 23, 1801. An improve
ment for manufacturing paper from
husks was patented December 30th, 1803,
and an apple paper In 1804. A patent
for finding salt water and metals was
granted In 18(3. In 1804 a patent wa
issued for sn improvement in the bed
stead, so constructed that It nay be
taken down and removed by one person
In case of fire or on other occasions
with much ease and expedition. In 1804
the Government felt the value of an
improvement In gallows, or suspenders
for breeches, pantaloons, or trowters.

when he strikes bottom. The better
man has ft right to come to the surface
ftnd swim ftsbore.
Hut in a considerable swimming ex
perience, and some resc ues, there come
one absolute rule: Never face a
drowning man. He welcomes rescue
so eagerly that he will hug you around
the neck and take you down. Tbe
safest nd best thing to do is get behind
him, ftnd, unless you are lefthanded,
put vourleft hand under his right arm
pit. The lift you give him will be en
ough in ordinary water. He can be
coaxed to help biui-elf, and if be is a
reasonable being swim to shore. If he is
insone with fright, recollect that you
are to be both prudent and heroic.
Get way from him, clntch his ankle
with one hand and tow him ashore. If
the bank is near, be is not likely to
drown On the way. If he does, it is
not your fault. But a brave swimmer
is master of his element.
I onee saw two young fellows rescne
a drowning comrade in a way that was
remarkable for its neatness. The
poor fellow was in midstream, cram
ped and eihan-ited, and barely able to
keep afloat. Which was first was never
decided, but at the critical moment
each was behind him, each with a hand
under an arm pit; he wa almost a dead
weight on their hands, and they swarm
him ashore, more dead than alive. It
was a strnggle but they were the mas
ters of tbe situation.
Little Danny and Hit Dead Mother.
I've just been down iu the parlor to
see mamma. She's in a long box, with
flowers oc her. I wish she d come and
bathe my head it aches so. Nobody
ever makes it feel good but mamma.
She knew how it hurt me, and she used
to read to me out of a little book how
my head would get well and not ache
any more some nay. wisn n was
"someday" now. Nobodv likes me but
mamma. That's cause I've got a sick
head. Mamma used to take me in her
arms and cry. hen I asked her
what's the matter she would say, Tni
onlv tired, darlinir." 1 guess Aunt
Agnes made her tired, for when she
came and stayed all day mamma would
take me up in tbe evening on her lap
and crv awful hard. I ain't bad any
dinner to-day. Mamma always gave me
my dinner and a little teenty pudding
with "IV tor " uanuy," on me top. 1
like little puddings with 1 s on top. 1
like to sit in mv little chair by the tire
aud eat'em. 1 wish mamma wouldn't
stay in the long box. I guess Aunt
Agnes put her there, 'cause she put an
tbe flower trimmingson and shows her
to everybody. There ain't any fire in
the grate, but I guess 1 II sit by it and
make believe there is. I'll get my little
dish and spoon and play I've got a
pudding with D for Danny on it. But
anyway 1 want mamma so uau.
Wonderful SuiJer'i HVfc. Roys and
girls too. may be interested to Kno
somethingalHtut the spider'sweb. They
will be instructed if they read the
following, taken from the World of
Wonders:" "Acress the sunny paths
of Cevlon. where the forest meets the
open country, and whL-h constitute the"
bridle-roads ot the island, an enormous
spider stretches its web at the height
of from four to eight feet from the
ground. The coidage of these webs
is fastened on either side to projecting
shoots of trees or shrubs, anil is so
strong as to hnrt the trave lers' s face
and even lift off his hat, if he is so un
lucky as not to see tbe liue. The nest
in the centre is sometimes as large as a
man's head, and is continually growing
larger, as it is formed of successive lay
ers of the webs rolled over each other,
sheet after sheet, into a hall. These
successive envelopes contaiu the limbs
and wings of insects of all descriptions.
which have been the prey ot the spider
and his family, who ocrnpy the den
formed in their midst. I here seems to
be no doubt that the spider casts the
web loose and rolls it round the nu
cleus in the center wLen it becomes
overcharged with carcasses, and then
procceeds to construct a fresh one.
which in its turn is destiued to be Iol-
ded up with the rest.
Divina. The fun of a good dive is
fun indeed. 1 have often" fetched bot
tom" at fifteen feet, and brought up a
big stone to prove to my comrads that
I had been" clean down." But ouce
in water like crystal, in the Upper
Lakes, where the pebbles could best-en
at the Uittom, I came rushing up with
my head cracking, and saw an old fel
low grinning at me. I hung breathless
to a wharf-pile, and he casually in
formed me that the water was twenty
six feet deep, "thar or iliaralxnits."
Jumping from a height !a doubtful
job. Recollect that iu eveiythiug con
nected with swimming you are top
heavy, and that wafer is incompressible.
If you get oft' your balacce while drop
ping, aud fall on your side, either you
will be drowned or your motiier w in
be drowned or in the neighborhood. I
have painful recollections on that sub
ject. Two days in bed and a maternal
lecture of the same lengtti were loo
much to nay for that dizzy, sidewise
rush through the air. If I had taken my
leaden bead for a plummet, I should
have been spared the blisters on my
body, I ought to have dived.
He Stubbed Hit Toe. Guy Schooler
a yonng boy about six years of age, was
told bv bis mother that he tunst not go
bathing in the mill pond. The other
day he played truant, and ou coming
out of tbe water was unable to get his
nnder garments on, and took them
home under his arm. and ou being
asked by his mother why he took them
off. said: "I stubbed mv toe. aud thev
just came right off'."

The Boy Had film.
On a street car recently the actions of
one of the passengers attracted the at
tention of a boy about 13 years of age.
The man first blew one side of his nose
and then the other. Then he took a
handkerchief from one pocket and
wiped the right band side of his nose,
and deliberately put that away and
pulled out another and wiped the left
hand side. The action pleased tbe boy
immensely, and be watched every
movement of the man, who next took
from his right hand pocket a stick of
gum, put It in the right hand side of
his mouth, and then served the leftside
the same way. He chewed on the right
then on the left, and the boy's eyes
stood out like pillows in a broken win
dow. The man soon got rid of the gum
and took two chews of tobacco from
two separate boxes, and noticing how
closely the boy was watching him.
said:
"Boy, don't you know me?"
"Xo, sir," replied the boy, "but IU
bet you my velocipede agin a cent that
yon can't drink out of two jugs at
once."
The man handed the half of an orange
out of one pocket and the other half out
of another pocket, and tendered them to
the boy as ft token of admiration.
Spanish Stories.
Some of the old Spanish tales are
cleverly told. A certain knave once
saw a parson putting up money in hi
pouch and followed afar off. The par
son stopped to talk with a friend near
the shop ol an embroiderer who had a
chasuble hanging up before the door.
Into this shop entered the knave aud
bartered for the raiment, but wished
before paying to see how it w ould look
on a priest, Just then in the nick of
time, the parson having parted with
his friend, came by.
"Reverend sir," quoth the rogue,
"be good enough to enter and try 011
this garment."
The parson, with his purse hanging
to his girdle, entered, and with much
charity put on the chasuble. Taking
advantage of a favorable moment, the
knave seized the purse aud ran down
the street, followed closely by the
priest. After him ran the embroider
er, well assured that all was but an ar
tifice to rob him of the raiment. The
fat ecclesiastic was soon caught by the
embroiderer, but while the merchant
was examining him as to his coinplu-i-ty
the thiet escaped.
