There was a case of "locking out "at
Tiffin, Ohio, not long ago. The authori
ties enacted the removal of all the slaughter-houses
to a point beyond the city lim
its. So some of the butchers closed their
shops and the rest put up the price of
beef to a famine figure. But man doesn't
live by meat alone, and so the lock-out
didn't work.
Rest, content, peace, such words as
these belong not in our vocabulary ; we
rfc:ain them, indeed, in our dictionaries as
mementoes of what were once the posses
sion of our fathers on the far sid oi the
M-ater; but the sweet thoughts for which
they stand, like some timorous bird that
bag wandered from its native zone, flutter
ed and startled by ourfretful turmoil, have
spread their pinions and flown back to their
original seats.
Dr. Schitfert, of New Orleans, pro
poses the following ingenious and appar
ently practical method for extinguishing
tires on shipboard. At given points in the
hold are located boxes containing marble
dust and carbonate of lime. From the
deck a lead pipe communicates with these
boxes. When the file is discovered in the
hold, diluted sulphuric acid is poured into
the pipes, and coining in contact with the
lime and marble dust, creates a large vol
ume of carbonic acid gas. which is fatal to
lire. As this gas is heavier than air it
would remain in the hold and ell'ectually
smother the flames.
If the " seven-year locusts " are " on
time," they will put in their appearance
this summer in this section of the country.
They appeared in 1S0O. and again in 18(57.
They first appear in the form of a slug
gish and unsightly brown beetle, and
emerge from the ground through small
holes, the ground iu some places being so
thickly perforated as to resemble a honey
comb. When they have emerged from
these holes, they crawl upand attach them
selves to weed's or trunks of trees, and
there remain basking in the sun until the
perfect locust is formed. Davenport (Iowa)

Boys Usixo Tobacco. A strong, sen
sible writer sa3-s a good sharp thing, and
a true one, too, for boys who use tobacco :
"It has utterly spoiled and ruined thousands
of boys. It tends to the softening anil
weakening of the bones, and it greatly in
jures the brain, the spinal marrow, and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who smokes
early and frequently, or in any way uses
large quantities of tobacco, is never, never
known to make a man of energy, and gen
erally lacks muscular and physical as well
as mentalower. We would particularly
warn boys who want to be anything in
the world, to shun tobacco as a most bane
ful poison."
Attkxtiox to the Old. A little
thoughtful attention, how happy it makes
the old. They have outlived most of the
friends of their early youth. How lonely
their hours! Often their partners in life
have long filled silent graves ; often their
children they have followed to the tomb.
They stand solitary, landing on their stall,
waiting till the call shall reach them. How
often they must think of absent, lamented
faces; of the love which cherished them,
and the tears of sympathy which fell with
theirs, now all gone. Why should not the
young cling around and comfort them,
cheering their gloom with songs and hap
py smiles ?
The immense trade in Australian can
ned meats, now carried on, has had the ef
fect ot causing a great accumulation ot
bones in Melbourne, where the putting up
is done. The sale of the bones is now
growing into a remunerative branch oi
export trade as bone-dust manure, and an
Australian paper, speaking of the subject,
gives an account of the manner of its ex
irortation. It says that a recent vessel,
bound for London, had on a shipment ol
100 tons of bone-dust, prepared for expor
tation in an altogether novel manner, and
one wliich promises to come into exten
sive use. To facilitate this trade, an ap
paratus has been contrived for compress
ing the bone-dust into half its original
compass, reducing it at the same time into
a form convenient for shipment. By
means ol strong pressure the
bones are molded into cakes t! inches square
and 3 inches thick, something like flooring
tiles, each cake weighing a little over 4 lbs.
These bone-dust tiles are just adhesive
enough to admit their being handled free
ly thrown about like bricks, if necessary
and are yet firm, and when required for use
they can readily be crushed or melted by
the application of a little hot water. A
ton weight of manure measures 2(5 cubic
feet, and contains 252 of the cakes.
TwelTe Children in Twenty Months.
The Sharpsville (Penn.) Advertiser
quotes the following statement : "We
have before us a clipping from a copy of
Liberty Hall, published ill this city in
1S16, where a most marvelous phenome
non is related the name of the physician
being given of a Mrs. John Kelly of Mer
cer county. Pa., who had just given birth
to five children, that being the second
effort of the kind within twelve mouths,
or ten children bom within the year."
And the Advertiser adds : "Mrs. "Kelly,
referred to above, resided in Lackawah
nock township. Mrs. Wallace, now re
siding in this place, remembers the cir
cumstances of the birth of the ten children
very well, having been present on both
occasions. Dr. Magofflu of Mercer was
the physician. Mrs. Kelly died about a
year after this event, but In the meantime
had twins, having given birth to twelve
children within twenty months. Mr.
Kely is still living, and now resides in
Sharon."
The California Aquarium Car.
The Rochester Democrat, of the 6th.
savs:
Yesterdav the California aqnnrium car
paed through thfs city en route to the
Pacific coast, and stopped here long
enough to renew its supply of ice and pro
cure some otlier nee. ful articlfi. It was
iu the charge of Livingston Stone, en
gaged by Commissioner Baird for this
trip. Selh Green and other interested
parties made an examination of the car,
us apparatus and eLt"n.s.. It is.a larire
passenger baggage yr, forty feet ion? by
nine feet wide, with twelve wheels, an air
brake and a Miller platform. At one end
of the car is a stationary fresh-water tank
holding five tons of water, and at the oth
er end, two salt-water tanks, holding in
the aggregate the same amount of salt
water. The ice boxes are over the tanks,
and there art upward of twenty portable
tanks between these two. In the top of
the car is an aerating machine for forcing
air Into the water in the tanks and cans.
This is an ingenious contrivance and works
finely, supplying the fi.-h with all the air
they need. It was stated that not a fish
had died since the car started on it3 long
Journey. The following are the varieties
of fish in the various receptacles : lob
sters and ovsters from Massachusetts Bay ;
tautojrs, eels, and weak fish from Martha's

and shad from the Hudson River; cat lish
from Haritan River, N. J.; alewives lrom

Cats and Cat People.
It is rather surprising that such an un
lovable animal as the cat ever came to be
tolerated. It has really nothing to recom
mend it, except, perhaps, pretty coat
and a fairly gracelul carriage. In disposi
tion it is treacherous, cunning and suspi
cious to the last degree. It is the reverse
of intelligent except in the entrapping,
tormenting and devouring of unfortunate
birds and mice. Though often melodious
ly inclined, those who know mo-t about
its vocal endeavors arc not backward in
declaring that, though they evidence con
siderable power they display little musical
ability, (."ertainlv, it has a talent forlook-
ing after itself. If there is anything to be
gained it will probably rub up against you.
leaving numerous hairs on your coat, and
purr meanwhile; if, on the other hand, it
imagines there is nothing to be got by
wheedling it will spit and claw 3-ou upon
the slightest provocation. It is constant
ly demonstrating that it cares not a jot for
those who nurture it that it entertains
much more regard for its homo than for
die amicable person who provides it with
the same. So far we liavc been speaking
of cats with four legs, but the craftiness,
treachery and cruelty of these are excelled
by the craftiness, treachery and cruelty ot
the cats with two legs, with which the
world has good reason for being sufficient
ly familiar. There may be some natural
affinity between cats with four legs and
cats with two. At any rate, they fre
quently take kindly to each other that is
to say, as kindly as it is in their natures to
do so.
One of the most disagreeable represent
atives of the cat tribe is the female who, as
a rule, has a cold gray eye, witli just a
tinge of green in it. not always palpable,
but plainly discernible in a certain light.
There is generally a pinched look about
her features, somewhat out of harmony
with the sleek way which she adopts
when desirous of advancing herself in
your good graces. She is a great mistress
of the art of politeness, and when she
wants to be civil her politeness becomes
of the excruciating kind. Nothing can
drive away the sweet smile which hovers
about her lips, and which would be simply
captivating if it were not accompanied,
when anything occurs to displease her,
by a certain suggestive gleaming and half
disguised grinding of her teeth. Not that
the dear creature is addicted to ojn'nlv
owning at such times that she is vexed.
Oibthe contrary, when she does go in for
the angelic business she goes in for it
.horomhly. Her servants may smash her
crockery ware, her children may eat just
what they are not wanted to, anil her hus
band may say a hundred things unpleas
ant for her to hear, and she will make no
sign that you, being a visitor at her table,
can detect. At the same time the objects
of her wrath know that, as soon :is you
have departed, they will get talked to in a
manner calculated to ruttle the equanimity
of the strongest. It is when you arc out
of the way that she becomes thoroughly
vicious, and that her company smile
changes to a dreadful scowl. As we have
implied, she will become perfectlyserapli
ic for a season in order to conciliate your
favor, if she imagines it is worth securing.
But the seraphic mood does not easily sit
on h'T for very long together, and she in
variably ends by falling out with you and
giving you a taste of her claws. Not only
will she, alter having come out in her true
character, stigmatize you as a scoundrel
and what not to every one who will pa
tiently listen to her, but she will make a
point of speaking her mind to you with
more than sufficient plainness. She is
continually iu a state of unmeasured fury
with some one or other, and the number
of disagreeable things which she has to
say of those against whom her dignity is
excited may well le a matter for wonder.
Her unreasonable bitterness in regard to
those who have incurred her displeasure
is not more repulsive than her abject sy
cophancy toward those who may, for the
time being, stand well in her estimation.
It may be remarked that no one ever yet
continued to do so for any length ot
time.
Though cats, such as those described
above, are mischievous ami disagreeable,
they are not so dangerous as cats of a
younger age and more attractive appear
ance. Young men would do well to be
ware of those unless they wish to lie. com
pelled to put in an appearance at the
breach-of promise court, to be made a
laughing-stock of. to lie mulcted in heavy
damages, and to be forced to pay formida
ble bills of costs. It is the aim of these
eats to get a hold on a man, and when
they have him in their power to cause him
to know it. There is a certain feline pret
tiness alout them, at times, which, per
haps, renders them attractive in the eyes
of some males. But a man had better lose
all his money upon the turf ere he be
comes enamored of one of them. By the
way, if he does squander a fortune in this
fashion, and, if the fact becomes known,
he is not likely to be placed in much dan
ger, for maidens of the order under notice
tight rather shy of swains who are penni
less. The damsels are apt to lead their
lovt rs rather a hard life, jealousy being
one of their strongest characteristics. A
poor fellow runs a very good chance of be
ing taxed with the basest perfidy if he is
anything more than merely coldly civil to
the various ladies with whom he is
brought in contact. Even when they are
billing and cooing together his love will
show that she is haunted by doubts as to
his constancVj and a succession of the
most anient kisses and endearing caresses
will not always succeed in allaying her
suspicions. She does not tell hini so in
plain terms that if she discovers he is f;Use
and is making a fool of her he will be
called upon to answer for his iniquity; but,
nevertheless, he has not much difficulty in
discerning that such is the case. The
watch which she keeps upon him is keen
er than the rivetei gaze which her four
legged namesake is wont to regiird a
mouse-hole. The avidity with which she
seizes upon information relating to his
past career, aud the manner iu which she
pries into all that concerns him, would
warn any but an infatuated fool of what he
may have to expect in the future. Lovers,
as a rule, however, being both infatuated
and foolish, do not always discover what
she is until they have goiic too far to draw
hick with honor and satKy. They may,
perhaps, see that there is something fierce
and treacherous about her, but when they
are iu a state of infatuation the evidence ot
their own senses is practically useless At
tracted at first bv her overpowering
sweetness (she would as soon think ot at
tempting to fly as contradicting a victim
ere she imagines she has got him thor
oughly in her clutches; you might con
clude from her demeanor thut he was to
her a kind ot idol who contained, bottled
up within himself, all the virtues and com
mon sense that the most exacting could
expect to find in a man) he does not de
tect her sheathed talons, and whoii lie
does is unsophisticated enough to imagine
that she will not use them. Perhaps, if lie
is becomingly submissive, she fails to do
so before marriage; but, after the Gordian
knot has been tied, she quickly makes
amends for lost time. Her independence
and spirit are alarming, and the manner
in which she demonstrates that she pos
sesses these things is still more so. With
all her other faults, however, it is not al
ways that she forget to be prudent. Her
husband may ofiend her wheu disinterest
ed on-lookers are by, and t-he will smile
with exasperating sweetness upon him,
but he knows the meaning of the smile
and what is to follow it and mourns ac
cordingly. Liberal Review.

Borrowing Trouble.
" This is one of the "little foxes" that
spoil so many grapes for us. Not con
tent with the ilis we have, we are continu
ally flying to others that we know not of.
taking anxious thought for the morrow,
anticipating a thousand evils in the future,
and losing the peace and happiness the
present might yield. While thus fore
casting trouble, opportunities leading to
success pass unnoticed, as also the begin
nings of real disasters, both which we
might attend to, improving the first and
checking the last, if our thoughts were in
the present, as they should be.
It is perfectly right, and indeed wise, to
have a plan of life running through the
years, and then to work up to it as we
inay, day by day and hour by hour. Is it
not true that those most given to borrow
ing trouble are uncertain and aimless as
to tne work of their lives ; tliat they drift
with the current instead of setting their
prows against wind and tide toward a cer
tain definite haven t But how if one can
not have a plan; if one's movements are so
liampered by circumstances that he can
not uil certain of attaining the far distant
results of well-considered purposes? To
such may come with power the reflection
that man proposes and God disposes, that
the best laid plans are. often overtaken
with ruin, and the most any of us can do
with certainty of being in the right path
is to devote" ourselves with ardor and
without hesitation to the duty of the hour,
turning everything that happens, whether
prosperous or adverse, to the furtherance,
as far as we may, of our designs.
How many of us In childhood in passing
over a winding country road, have not
thought, as he looked ahead that it was
eertainlycomingtoan end. and then what?
But as be went on, a turning in the road
gave us to sec a way out of our fancied en
tanglement. Just so in life, a little way
ahead we fear that everything is coming
to a dead lock, but time takes U3 through
and often when we anticipate passing into
straits and shoals we find ourselves in
waters wide and deep.
We have real troubles enough most of us
without borrowing any from the future or
the past, and why not liorrowjoy? The
skies will always lie blue though clouds
may overcast them at intervals ; the spring
will never fail to come, with its wealth oi
glowing green, and we have the promise
that while the earth remaineth seed-time
and harvest shall not cease. So will there
ever lie reasons for thanksgiving, causes
for sal isfaetion, sources of joy in even the
coldest, dreariest life, if so be the eyes are
open to see them and the heart to feel. To
illustrate: not long ago we rode through
a charming section' of country with an in
telligent and cultivated lady, whose con
versation was not about the picturesque
landscape we were passing over, the be
witching melody of birds that sang from
everv bough the vernal airs that played
about us. the wealth of blossoms that re
minded us of the garden of Eden, but of
petty housekeeping cares and small do
mestic troubles the little foxes that spoil
so many women's lives. She was borrow
ing trouble from the past instead of open
ing wide her heart to all the beauty a:id
fragrance and melody that sought an in
terpreter there. Was that wisdom ?
Philosophy and religion, either one, cer
tainly both together, will give any rational
soul peace. Where are the frets that
robbed our grandmothers of joys they de
served to have? Just where ours will be
fifty years hence. Were not those of them
who" preserved unwrinklcd brows and
placid tones, iu spite of all that adverse
fate could bring, the truly wise and blessed?
If we believe that God is our father, that
lie exercises not only a general but a
special Providence over the children of
men. where does the propriety of borrow
ing trouble have reasonable place? Let
us rather borrow joy. and thus disarm
the future of all evils "but its own. Ex

The scene of this story is the county of
Tunica, the most northern one on the river
of the Slate of Mississippi. It lies next
below the Tennesst-e line. The county
seat is Austin, a place of modest preten
sions, lying nice and snug in the bend ol
the great river, some sixty miles south ot
this city. The clerk and ma-ter of the
courts is a young, economically inclined
gentleman named C. W. Dnnnaway. He

Or else they would not, as they did on
Tuesday last, have boarded the steamer
Phil Allin, in company with some twenty
of their friends and relatives, for a trip
down to Friar's Point and back.
It was at Helena, as the boat passed on
her way down, that the Kcv. Father Shan
non, a Catholic divine, was invited to join
the gay party ; and while the vessel
plowed her way through the waters the
good priest was requested to perform the
rites of matrimony and join in the holy
bonds of wedlock Miss D. and her future
lord, Mr. Dnnnaway. It was a gay thing
all round, and when the ceremony ended,
half a dozen hours or more were spent in
wine. dance and general hilarity. Towards
sundown the boat landed on her return at
Austin, where the most of the company,
including the bridegroom, disembarked.
The fair heroine and young bride, being
just sweet sixteen, had during all the day's
festivities been under the especial guardi
anship of a watchful aunt. In company
with this worthy relative she remained on
the boat, separating from her lonely but
not disconsolate lord. Shecameon to this

A Smuggler's Narrative.
" We shall be, my dear inadame," said I
to a fellow passenger in the Dieppe boat,
taking out my watch. but keeping my eye
steadily upon her, " we shall be in less
than ten mmutcs'at the custom-house."
A spasm a flicker from the guilt within
glanced from her countenance.
" You look very good-natured, sir,"
stammered she.
I bowed, and looked considerably more
so to invite her confidence.
" If 1 was to tell you a secret, which I
find is too much for me to keep to myself,
oh! would you keep it invioiable?"
"I know it. my dear inadame I know
it already," said I, smiling; "it is lace, is
it not?"
She uttered a little shriek, and yes, she
had got it there among the crinoline. She
thought it had been sticking out, you see,
unknown to her.
" Oh, sir," cried she, " it is only ten
Founds' worth ; please to forgive me, and
'11 never do it again. As it is, I think 1
shall expire."
"My dear inadame," replied I, Sternly
but kindly, " here is the pier, and the officer
has fixed" his eve upon us. I must do my
duty."
I rushed up the ladder like a lamp-lighter;
1 pointed out the woman to a legiti
mate authority; I accompanied her upon
her way. in custody, to the Searching
house. I did not see" her searched, but I
saw what was found upon her, and I saw
her fined aud dismissed tvith ignominy.
Then, having generously given up my
emoluments a informer to the subordinate
officials. I hurried olf in sen-h of the be
trayed woman to her hotel. I gave her
lace twice the value of that she lost, paid
her fine, and explained :
"You, madame, had ten pounds' worth
of smuggled goods alKiut your person ; I
had nearly fifty times that amount. 1
turned informer, madame. let me convince
you, for the Mike of both of us. Y ou have
too expressive a countenance, believe mc.

at all events, even as 1 did myself. Are
i you satisfied, my ox-ar madame If you
still feel agrieved by me in any way, pray

When I finished iny explanation the
lady seemed perfectly satisfied with mv

A Bolt Always In Order.
Squills declares tliat his wife is always
taking some kind of mean advantage of
him. "The best woman iu the world, sir,"
says Squills ; "but now and then she will
act mean, and she can't help it."
"Last Sunday, at breakfast," says Mr.
Squills, " she was as smiling as a basket oi
chips."
"Are your chops done to your liking,
Squills, dear?"
" Deliciously, my love."
" I broiled them myself, dear."
" I knew it was going to be hot," said
Squills, "and when I got into the hall to
leave, Mrs. Squills was there, with my
hat in one hand and my overcoat in the
other."
" Squills, dear," she began.
"I thought it. time to pitch in here,"
said Squills, " so I said quietly
" ' How much, Mrs. Squills ? Out with
it, my love.'
" 'Mr. Squills, don't 1 unmanly, sir, I

silk dress to go to church in ; the poor
child really isn't decent you are very
sorry?' Well so you ought to be. 'Let her
say lier prayers athome?" No, Mr. Squills,
she shan't stay at home, and she shan't say
her prayers; and Mr. Squills, you're
enough to aggravate a saint, and your con
duct is disgusting, and it's enough to d-ive
a woman to bolt right oil' to Chicago and
get a divorce.'
"I thought this was a good time to fire
off my pet joke," said Squills, "so I said :
'Mrs. Squills, a bolt is always in onler.'
Then I bolted myself, for Mrs. Squills
comes of a fighting family.

"This was pitching it uncommonly

The Coal Oil Fiend.
There is no law anywhere against people
using coal oil for "kindling" if they
choose ; and it seems that the list of burn
ings to death from this habit, carried tor
ward from day to day, has no terrors for a
woman who wants to kindle a fire quick
ly, mid has a can of coal oil in the house.
A funeral of a coal oil victim may daily
pass her house; or she ma' have just re
turned from laying her mother or sister
away in the grave cause of death, coal
oil;" the woman wants a quick tire, she
pours coal oil over the wood and lights the
tire, at the imminent risk of taking the coal
oil train for the other world. It is a char
iot of tire, and the baggage left behind by
those who have gone up in it is neither
a remembrance nor a warning to those
into whose possession the old clothes may
fall.
1 he selling of poisonous drugs is regu
lated by law ; the storing of gunpowder
and nitro-glycerine olieys ordinances en
acted for safety ; certain diseases are hunt
ed out of town by sanitary regulation
hounds; wooden buildings are forbidden
within limits; any one seen rushing wild
eyed toward the river is caught and locked
up away from water; but a woman with a
can of coal oil in one hand and a lighted
match in the other is exempt from per
sonal fear and interference. She is in a
hurry to cook or wash or iron,or warm up ;
she forgets or disregards the daily news
paper warning, slights the memory of her
lost friends, and rushes headlong into the
flames. It looks like madness. There
must be a serpentine fascination, always
fatal to women, about coal oil. Men are
not addicted to that sort of rashness, in the
very face of death, but women appear to
be hopelessly charmed by the terror of the
danger. The grim monster glowers in
every kitchen where there is the slightest
stnefl of benzine, and a grinning skeleton
walks out rattling its shivering bones be
hind everv woman who carries a can of
kerosene and a lighted match towards a
pile of wood. The fiery monster has as
many titles as Satan. When it becomes
particularly obnoxious under one name it
takes another, but they all mean death,
and thev always tempi a woman to her
destruction. They are perfectly innocent
and non-explosive, and the only result is
light, and comfort, and a boiling pot. and
this the vendors well know. And woman
has a thousand times tested the fruit and
given in her experience, and still woman
is not afraid to try it again. The lat trial
that has come to light was in Cincinnati
the other day. A young Hollander in
that city married a young wife about a
week ago, and the couple had gone to
housekeeping in the neat aud comfortable
stvle for which Hollanders are noted.
The wife was only sixteen, and her father
and mother had "just paid the new and
happv family a visit. The child-wife
wants a quick lire for tea. She is tempted
by a can of coal oil. Befere her husband
aiid parents can get to her she is a whirl
wind of tire. They make frantic efforts to
save wife, and child, and hope, in one, and
are all badly burned, the husband serious
ly. When the flames have done their
w ork the crisp body of the girl is gasping
its last, and beside his dying wife lies the
man sutlering unspeakable torments. And
the parents watch by them, and the neigh
bors go in aim out speechless; ano ine
woman next door will to-morrow will the
coal-oil fiend out. of the closet to help her
kindle her kitchen lire. At least this
would be conformable to all past experi
ence in the history of kerosene, and thus
women have their way. St. Louis Repub
lican. European Wages.
Sixty cents a day is considered good
wages for workingmen in any of the Eu
ropean countries except Great Britain,
where wages are somewhat higher. In
the Tyrol silk regions and Italy, they often
get no more than ten cents a day. In the
country in Germany ten cents a day is the
common pay. Women there often get
about five cents. In Sweden men often
work from four in the morning until nine
in the evening, and do not get any more.
During the late war many women hired to
knit stockings for soldiers at five cents.
The profits of the poor who keep petty
shops, sell trinkets in the street, or act as
sutler, do not average more than three
or four per cent. Barbers in Berlin, since
the raising ot prices, get nve cents lor nair
cutting and two and a hidf cents for shav
ing. Sen ants at hotels get from three to
ten dollars a mnnthr Servant girls iu pri
vate families often get but ten dollars a
year. Sometimes these classes cannot get
work at any price.

eggs and fry In butter; it relishes well
with cottee, ana is most excellent tor ntue
girls that are hungry.
Sand Tarts. 1 pound sugar ; pound
butter; yelks of two eggs, white of one
(take the other and put it over the top of
them) ; with cinnamon and sugar. Boll
and cut in small cakes.

Making Pai-kr Stick to Whitewashed
Walls. Make a sizing of common glue

sure way to remove smoke stains from
common plain ceilings is to mix wood
ashes with the whitewash just before ap
plying. A pint of ashes to a small pail of
whitewash is suincieni, oiu a nine uiorcur
less will do no harm. The theory is that
the ashes eat up smoke.

choose it. grated cocoa-nut sprinkled on
top of the chocolate is very nice.
A Handy Boot-rack. The following
very convenient arrangement for a fann
er's kitchen we find ill the Amei ican Agri
culturist : One of the greatest troubles of
the neat housewife in the country results
from the muddy boots of those mem
bers of the family who have to work in
the fields, the stables, and the barnyard.
The wet boots must be dried, and are gen
erally left under the kitchen stove, where
their presence is very disagreeable. Now,
to have a neat kitchen, there should be a
boot rick placed behind the stove, in which
the damp boots may be placed to dry.
Such a contrivance has been found a great
convenience. It has three shelves about
four feet long, ten inches wide, and placed
a foot apart. At oi e end a boot-jack is
fixed bv hinges, so that, when not in use.
it is folded against one end of the rack and
secured by a button. There is also a stand
for cleaning boots at the front, which also
folds up when not iu use, and the blacking
brushes are placed on the shelves behind
the stand, aud are out of sight, and when
it is folded they hang down out of the
way. The rack should be made of dressed
pine boards, and painted or stained some
dark, durable color.
The Newest Chicago Hotel.
A German paper the National ZeUung,
of Berlin publishes the following account
of the very latest thing in the way of Chi
cago hotels. It says:
"The latest American progress in build
ing will be the ' mammoth hotel ' soon to
be erected in Chicago. This enormous ho
tel is to have a frontage of three English
miles long, and a depth of six miles; the
height of seventy-seven stories will meas
ure 3.4S0 feet from the ground floor to the
roof. The hotel will have no stairs, but
500 balloons will always be ready to take
visitors up to their rooms. No room
waiters are to be employed, but visitors
will be served by a newly patented auto
matic, put up iii every bedroom, who will
do all the shaving, shampooing, etc.. to
the guests by a very simple and ingenious
mechanism. Supposing the guest re
quires hot water, the automatic will be
able to call down stairs, " A bucket of hot
water up to room number one million
three thousand one hundred and seven,"
and the waiter w ill be up in seven seconds
by a patented elevator.
"'Half an hour before fnftfcdViofc.instead
of the ringing of bells, a gun (21 pounder)
will be tired on each floor, to call the
guests to get ready for their meals. The
tables in the dining-rooms will measure
four miles each, attendance to be performed
by twelve waiters on horseback, on either
side of the table. Music during table d'hote
will be played gratis by eight bands of
seventy-seven men each. For the conven
ience of visitors a railway will be built on
each floor, as well as telegraph offices.
The price for one bed-room will be from SI
toS'.O. The cost ot this building is esti
mated to be $'K0.000,0n0. The billiard
room will contain 9t)0 American. 90 French,
and one English -table, and. most ol
the visitors expected to be Americans, the
billiard-room w ill be fitted out with a spit
toon of 100 feet in circumference."
Car Manners.
A New York correspondent says': "The
English ideas are prevailing that a man's
fare entitles him to a seat and that railroad
companies and not passengers mii-t fur
nish sittings to their customers. For this
change in public sentiment the ladies have
only to thank themselves. It is the rarest
thing for a New York woman to thank a
gentleman for yielding his seat. It is ac
cepted with an air ot impertinence that
seems to marvel at the impertinence of a
man for sitting down at all. Two women
will occupy three seats, though the man is
standing who yielded his sitting to the
new-comers. If a lady come? into a car
with an associate, and a gentleman gets up
to make room for her, she will watch her
chances and smuggle in her male friend,
leaving the polite gentleman to hang on
by the car-strap. Men tire of this; and.
tired bv their work and anxious to read
their papers, the great majority keep their
scats to the end. It is a common thing tor
mothers to take a four-year-old in their
arms, enter the cars, eontidently-exieeting
that no man will be brute enough to see a
woman standing up with a child. The seat
yielded, the child is elapied down in it. and
the woman looks round for somebody to
oive her a seat. These little tricks are well
understood, and after standing a few blocks
the mother will sit down and take the child
in her lau. Nobody yields a seat iu an om
nibus nor at a table. Gentlemen don t
"ive up their state-rooms because ladies
Have to sit up ; and there is growing a feel
ing that if passengers cannot f.nd seats m
one car they must take the next."

How to Prepare a Tobacco Bed.
A correJDondent writes : M The proper
time to prepare a bed for raising tobacco
plants Is in August. A warm suuny spot
should be selected that is sheltered as much
as possible from the cold northerly winds,
and a liberal dressing of manuie plowed
in. Horse manure is the best ; at intervals
through tb t dl this plot should be plowed
two or three times, aud well harrowed each
time, so that the manure and soil may be
thoroughly mixed. In the spring, sow on
a liberal dressing of phosphate, and culti
vate and harrow until" well mixed with the
soil, and then roll down, rake lightly with
a hand rake, sow your seed and roll again;
I alw ays sow dry seed if the spring is early
enough to sow before the 10th of April.
Cover with giasn, which is the cheapest
and btist and the only w ay that will insure
you plants for transplanting the fore part
of June. A bed never should be allowed
to dry up after the seed Is sown, for it
should be remembered that the seed is very
small and lies near the surface of the
f round. To prepare a bed in the spring,
should use land that had been tilled the
previous year. Plow in a moderate dress
ing of manure, but put my main dejien-
uence on fertilizers winch l snouia use
partly before sowing the seed, and then in j
a liquid lorm alter the pianu nau omatneu
