How to Ferment Mischief. —There
seems to be a principle in human nature,
a kind of roguish curiosity that compels
one to act upon suggestions given in such
a manner as to imply that, though wrong
it is expected they may be, or will be,
followed out. The farmer who had a
husking frolic, and told his neighbors’
boys present that they must be peaceable
and orderly on the way home, and must
not put neighbor Smith's cart on his corn
barn, was not probably surprised, or
ought not to have been, to find that the
cart was actually astride of the corn
barn when the sun rose the next m orn
ing. Neither is this principle confined
wholly to children. There is a story of
a Catholic priest and a hostler, which is
not inappropriate. When a hostler had
finished making confessions of his sins,
the priest inquired of him it lie had ever
greased the teeth of his customers’horses
to prevent them from eating their oats.
The hostler not only declared that he
had, never done it, but said he had never
aeard of such a thing. The next time he
went to the confessional, the first offense
which he had to acknowledge was that
he had been greasing the teeth of his
customers’ horses.— lllinois Teacher.
Here s a specimen of murdered
Queen's English which out-Partington’s
Mrs. Partington, and has moreover the
merit of being an actual fact : An illi
terate man who hailed from down East
had occasion one day to purchase anew
Bible, and as it was quite an event to
him. the next neighbor lie met was duly
informed of the fact that he ‘“had got a
Polywog Bible with the Hypocrisy in
it.” It was some little time before his
friend decided that it must be a Poly
glot Bible containing the Apocrypha.
The same individual one day related to
an admiring group of listeners some
’wonderful event which he said “hap
pened way up North, where the “Squee
rnox Indians live.”

Rations of Fish. —A recent order of
the War Department directs the issuing
of a ration of fish, namely, fourteen
ounces of dried fish, or eighteen ounces
of pickled fish, to be made to the troops
once a week, in lieu of the ration of fresh
beef.
