THE old SPimiVG WHEEL.
A. token, dismantled! would that it were mine;
I. would not keep it m that dusty nook.
Where tapated eob"-ebe cross and intertwine,
And grim old spiders irom their comers look.
From distaff, band and polished rim are hung
The dusty meshes. Black the rpind e is,
and rTty—a dead, silent toiiifu**.
Teat ouce made whirring music—there it ‘.tea.
Ah ! dear to me tsthta forsaken thing!
I gate upon it and my eyea grow dim ;
And I can ss* my mother, hear her sing.
As winds the ahtniug thread, and whirls the rim.
So sweet die sang * her youngest on her knee—
Now a warble, now some fine old hymn,
tSublime, exultant, full of victory,
Triumphant as the songs of seraphim.
Bweet toiler! through her life of crowded care.
While grief name olt. and pain, and weariness,
“till awelled the anthem, sti.l was breathed the prater,
Till death came clasping with his eo'.d caress.
Bhe sings no more; beside the chimney wide
No more she spins. Years come and ’go;
Nut on her grave upon the tone hill side
The snow-drifta he, the summer glasses grow.
Finger Sails.
Our finger nails grow out about three
Hines a year; they should be trimmed
■with scissors once a week, not so close as
to leave no room for the dirt to gather,
lor then you do not protect the ends of
the fingers, as was designed by nature ;
besides, if trimmed too close at the
comers, there is danger of their growing
into the flesh, causing inconvenience,
and sometimes great pain. The collec
tions under the ends of the nails should
not be removed by anything harder than
a brush or a soft piece of wool; nor
should the nails be scraped with a pen
knife cr other metallic substance, ns it
destroys the delicacy of their structure
and will at length give them an unnatural
thickness. We are not favorably im
pressed a3 to the cleanliness of a person
who keeps his nails trimmed to the quick,
as it is often done to prevent dirt gath
ering there ; whereas, if a margin were
allowed, it would be an index to the
cleanliness of the hands, from which the
collections under the finger nails are
made. Leave a margin, then, and the
moment you observe that these collec
tions need removal, you may know that
the hands need washing, when they and
the nails are both cleaned together. Most
persons are familiar with those trouble
some bits of skin which loosen at the
root of the finger Dails; it is caused by
the skin adhering to the nail, which,
growing outward, drags the skin along
with it, stretching it until one end gives
way. To prevent this, the skin should
bo loosened from the nail once a week,
not with a knife or scissors, but with
something blunt; such as the end of an
ivory paper cutter; this is best done
after soaking the fingers in warm water,
then pushing the skin back gently and
slowly ; the white specks on the nails aro
made by scraping the nails with a knife
at a point where it emerges from the
skin. Biting off the finger nails is an
uncleanly practice, for thus the unsightly
collections at the ends are kept eaten
clean 1 Children may be broken of such
a fifthy habit by causing them to dip thv
ends of their fingers several times a day
in wormwood bitters, without letting
them know the object, if this is not suf
ficient, cause them wear caps on each
finger until the practice is discontinued.

A Stolen Rood Story.
The London Telegraph has made a
pretty good “original” story of Germany
out of one the late excellent Judge
Hyde, of Sudbury, Vermont, used to tell
to the thousand and one who passed the
summer season at his hostelry in the
valley of Lemon Fair, before he was
elevated to the Bench, and the Tribune
copies it with credit to the Telegraph..
Judge Hyde's father’s geese got drunk
on about a peck of rum cherries that had
been thrown out as too old for further
use. and it was thought they were dead.
In fact they were dead drunk, and the
hired help ilid not know it. Bo they set
about to save the feathers, taking off
even the down after they had plucked
them clean out of their clothing. As fast
as they were picked they were piled up
in the cow-stable, and there left for the
inspection of the older Mr. Hyde, when
he returned from Ticonderoga, over lake
Champlain. He did not return that day,
and early tho next morning the girls
went out to milk and found tile geese all
np and dressed, as far as not one feather
to put on would permit. They seemed
rather confused about themselves, and
looked upon each other as strangers. As
the milkmaids put it: “It looked as
•heeplsli as a gander party after a Fourth
of July dinner, and one or two of them
must have had the headache as they sat
down and triad to fan their ears with
their webbed-feet.” It took all summer
for the geese to regain their coats, and
the growth of their tail feathers was a
source of continual wagering among the
guests of the house, some of whom are
now living in this city and Philadelphia,
at the good old age of threescore years
and ten. There is no reason "why the
London Telegraph and the Tribune
shouldn't “acknowledge the corn” of the
geese that were temporarily “corned” on
old rum cherries. —New York Commer
cial Advertiser.
“Muggy Weather.”
This is a very expressive phrase for the
“dog-days,” as they average, arid the
other description tells us so exactly our
sensations under the clammy air and
close temperature. “Mug” in provincial
English dialect means “fog,” but this
probably is traced to the older Irish word
meaning a cup, as our word does now.
So that “muggy weather” is weather in
a cup—close weather. The New York
Mercantile Journal explains why this
kind of weather is always so uncomfort
able:
“The evaporation of moisture from
our skin cools us. Evaporation, as is well
known, is always a cooling process. The
heat, from being ‘sensible,’ becomes
‘latent,’ as the philosopers say—that is.
the heat is used up in making the vapor
and passes off in it, just a3 the heat of
the fire is used up in making steam, and
really passes off in that.
“When thi3 process of evaporation is
rapid from our system, we are rapidly
cooled, and though the weather is warm,
are made comfortable.
“But it can be rapid only when the air
is dry. Air already saturated with nearly
as much moisture as it will hold, can, of
course, take up very little more from the
evaporation of objects on the surface of
the earth. In such weather we must go
on as best we can without the comfort of
this cooling process.
“The mug is a natural ‘hygrometer,’
somewhat rude, it is true, to tell us how
much moisture there is in the atmos
phere. A real hygrometer only tells the
same thing more accurately.”
A stylishly dressed woman entered
a restaurant. The waiter handed he*
a bill of fare, and said, “ Please mark
off the dishes you wish to order.” Could
a woman in a sealskin confess that she
could not read? Taking the pencil she
made a few dashes, and her order
read: “ Dinner 50,” “Feb. 20, ’B3,’
“vegetables,” ‘ ‘ please pay at the desk,”
“ celery.” The waiter brought her beef
steak and onions and prune sauce, and
ebe did not dare raise a word in protest.
USEFUL HINTS.
Cold rilin water and soap will remove
uachine grease from washable fabrics.
Kerosene will make your tea-kettle
js bright as new. Saturate a woolen
rag and rub with it. It will also remove
-tains from the clean, varnished furni
ture.
Simple and tasteful table-covers for
bedrooms may bo made of pale blue
Canton flannel trimmed with antique
lace, or with velvet ribbon feathtr
stitclied on and finished with fringe
made of bine split zephyr or Shetland
wool.
This is worth trying: Take half a
teaspoonful of black pepper in powder,
one teaspoonfnl of brown sugar and one
teaspoonful of eream. Mix them well
together and place them in a room on a
plate where flies are troublesome and
they will very soon disappear.
Ax exchange says : “Tocleanonta
stove-pipe, place a piece of zinc on the
live coals in the stove. The vapor pro
duced by the zinc will carry off the soot
by chemical decomposition. Persons
who have tried the process claim it will
work every time. ”
To revive old kid gloves make a thick
mucilage by boiling a handful of flax
seed ; add a little dissolved soap ; then,
when the mixture cools, with a piece of
white tlauuel wipe the gloves, previously
fitted to the hand ; use only enough to
take off the dirt, without wetting through
the glove.
Recite for making eau de cologne :
To 3 pints of alcohol of 25 degrees add
12) drachms oil of lemon, 15 drachms
oil of orange, 2) drachms oil of cedrat,
lj draolmisof vervain, 2} drachms oil of
bergamot, 2J drachms oil of mint, 0
drachms oil of lavender, 1* drachms oil
of white thyme, 2 drachms oil of Portu
gal, lj drachms oil of rosemary, 8 ounces
tincture of ambretta, and 1 pound eau
de melisse. Mix well in a bottle, and af
ter standing six hours add 2J drachms
tincture of ambergris. Then filter until
clear.
Vert pretty vases can be made from
long-necked bottles as follows : Satur
ate candle wickiug or string with kero
sene, wrap it around the bottle twice,
and tie it, placing it where you want the
neek of the bottle broken off. Light
the wick all round, aad in a few minutes
a crackling noise will be heard, which
tells you that the bottle is severed in
two, and will leave you an article shaped
like a tumbler. It is preferable to have
them as long as possible, unless you de
sire more than one. If so, two tall ones
and one about two-thirds theirsize make
a pretty set. Cut out bands of gold pa
per and paste around near the top and
bottom, also a circle for the center. Or,
if you desire, they can be painted any
color and ornamented with gilt stars and
embossed pictures, after tho manner of
decorating pottery.
The Largest Farm.
The wheat ranch of Dr. H. J. Glenn,
in Colusa county, Cal., is perhaps the
largest and best-known in the State.
The Chicago Tribune says that on hew
ing asked why he raised nothing but
wheat, Dr. Glenn replied: “It is the
only crop that will bear transportation;
it is the only crop not perishable. I
must not raise on my land what ruins
me, but what is profitable.” Dr. Glenn’s
ranch comprises about 60,000 acres of
laud, and the number of acres in wheat
each year ranges between 10,000 and
50,000. Reckoning an average of from
twenty to thirty-five bushels to the acre,
the aggregate crop each year amounts
to something more than 1,000,000 bush
els. This enormous amount of grain
requires vast appliances for planting
and bringing it to market; and the cap
ital invested in machinery alone sums
up a considerable fortune.
During the harvest time there are em
ployed on the entire ranch some 500
men. Dr. Glenn is general-in-chief of
his force, and the ranch is divided, for
convenience of operations, into nine
smaller ranches each with dwelling
house, barns, blacksmith shop, and other
necessary buildings. In charge of these
are seven foremen, under whom are six
teen blacksmiths, fourteen carpenters,
six engineers, six machinists, five com
missaries, and numerous cooks and serv
ants. The common workmen are divided
into gangs, and detailed where they are
needed. There are 130 gang-plows; 60
herders, to which belong 180 wagons; 6
cleaners, 100 harrows, 18 seeders, 6
threshers, 6 engines. Besides, there are
many smaller instruments and vehicles,
which cannot be classified. Co-operat
ing with their human brethren in the
great labor are 1,000 work-horses and
mules, with a kinship of 1,000 brood
mares and younger stock which has not
yet achieved the dignity of labor. There
are 32 dwelling houses, 27 barns, 14
blacksmith shops, and other structures
sufficient to swell the aggregate to 100.
The machinery could not he replaced tor
8125,000; the work-horses and mules are
worth 8110,000; the brood marcs and
young stock, $75,000; and the buildings
on the place, 8100,000.
How an Enthusiastic Hog Was Rebuked
by a Parrot.
A gentleman living near this village,
says the Port Jervis Union, has a parrot
who knowns a good deal more than the
law allows. A friend of his, w'hose name
we withhold for obvious reasons, called
at his house one day. A valuable young
dog, a pointer, was with him. The two
gentlemen sat on the porch smoking,
and the parrot, which is very tame, was
seated in an interstice in the trellis about
the porch. The dog was lying on the
ttoor at his master’s feet and finally his
attention was called to the bird, which
was looking steadily at him. The dog
sprang up, drew "on the parrot and
fastened. There he stood, still as a
statue, for full three minutes, when the
parrot, with a contemptuous flirt of his
feathers, screamed at him, “Go home,
you cussed fool!” The dog dropped tail
and ears, wheeled round and struck a
beeline over the fields for home. Since
that time he has refused to point a bird.
The project of a railway between the
north and south of Australasia is now
fairly under way, and will reduce the
time between England and Sydney by
thirty days. The principal section of
the northern part is already completed.
It is 312 miles long, and runs between
Brisbane and Rome. Between the latter
point and the Bay of Carpentaria there
are yet 837 miles to construct. The line
will connect with that between Roe
hampton and Emeraldtown. There are
still gaps to fill between Brisbane and
Sidney, and Sidney and Adelaide. The
road will link together the principal
cities and most peopled regions of the
great island, with the exception of those
in the west. A syndicate has been em
powered by the Legislature of Queens
land to construct all the road within its 1
domains, and will receive 4,000 acres of ,
public land for each kilometer or three-,
eighths of mile built, !

READ THE TESTIMONIALS;
This is to certify that I have tried Pryor’s Pile
Ointment in a ruse of piles, and state that it save
more relief than anything I have ever tried. I fur
ther state that as a remedy for burns It is un
paralleled. I also used it for a case or tetter in my
feet °f twenty years’ standing, atfd say that it is
the first thing that I have ever tried that gave mo
more than momentary relief. I consider now that
I am entirely relieved from that distressing dis
ease. JOHN JD. NEWSOM,

been amicted for ten years, at intervals,
wfth that distressing malady, the plies, and after
many Ineffectual trials of the remedies in common
use, I commenced a short time ago to use vour Pile
ointment. I experienced immediate relief. From
the relief experienced in my case, as well as from
the reputation so rapidly acquired by your Ointment
in this vicinity, I have no hesitation in expressing
the opinion that it is tho most efficient remedy for
pilesever invented. O. A. BULL,
LaGrauge.Oa/
This is to certify that I used Pryor’s Ointment
na case of severe burn, and that in a very few
lays it was entirely relieved of all inflammation,
ind healed rapidly. After the first application of
the Ointment, the patient suffered no pain what
ever. R. J. MORGAN, LaGrange, Ga.
By the advice of Mr. Wynn, I used your Pile
Ointment on a servant girl who had been suffer
ing for eight years with a most aggravated case of
piles. She improved from the very first day’s use
of your Ointment, and before using the box she
was entirely recovered. G. W. FOSTER,

This is to certify that I have used Pryor’s Pile

Exclusiveness.
The Transcript has a wholesome but
very caustic criticism of the proverbial
exclusiveness, in social circles, which has
always prevailed in that city. In the
course of its remarks it says : “ Timid
ity and feebleness finally make a man
who neglects the exercise and exhilara
tion of mingling witii his fellows a so
cial dyspeptic and valetudinarian, a pit
iable object to the world in gene ral, a
burden to himself and a bore to the
narrow circle oa whom he consents to
bestow liimself. Exclusiveness—that
suspicious and hostile scrutiny of new
people simply because they are new,
that abject fear to judge and approve or
condemn each individual on bis merits,
independently of his grandfather, the
timorous refuge in the folds of Mrs.
Grundy’s apron whcD a new-comer is
nProduced—is the dry rot which is help
ing Boston on rapidly into a decline
where its provincialism, with its repres
sion of all new blood and unauthorized
ambitions, will be the only observable
things about the city—the more notice
able that the past was so greatly other
wise.”
Waiting for His Mutton.
During the height of the so-called
“Jingo” excitement, when men, and
more especially women, were almost un
endurable on account of their political
vehemence, Lord Beaconsfieid was ap
parently. at least, perfectly calm. Heat
ed at ditfner by the side of an illustrious
lady he was asked in tones of feminine
petulance: “ What are you waiting for ?
What are you waiting for?”—the impli
cation being amazement that he did not
hurl England into war against Russia,
“Waiting?” said he. “I am waiting
for some roast mutton and potatoes.”
This world ia full of heroes. There
are thousands of them to-day, who are
working hard for sl2 a week to feed and
clothe and provide a home for their

The selection of Friday as “hangings

the fact that the most unlucky thing;

The term “ Gotham ” was first applied
to New York city in “Salamagundi ” (a
humorous work by Washington Irving,
William Irving and James K. Paulding),
because the inhabitants were such wise

Dew is tho condensed moisture of the
atmosphere. During the day, under the
sun’s rays, water is exhaled from all
moist and watery places, and is held in
the air in the form of vapor. When the
sun goes down the air is cooled, and
therefore contracted or condensed, and
the water is deposited upon cool sub
stances. Drops of water on the outside
of a pitcher of cold wator in the summer
is dew.
Octavo, also written Bvo, is from the
Latin octavus, the eighth, and describes
a book formed of sheets folded in eight
leaves. Duodecimo is similarly derived
from duodecimus, the twelfth, and is
written 12mo. 80 we have 4to, quarto,
16mo, Bexdecimo, and so forth. The
terminal follows the Latin form.
The deepest well in the world is said
to be that at Sperenberg, near Berlin,
which was excavated in the attempt to
obtain a supply of rock-salt. This was
reached at a depth of 280 feet from the
surface, and the boring was continued
to a maximum depth of 4,194 feet, the
stratum of salt boring being followed
to a depth of 3,907 feet without* being
pierced through, and the boring then
discontinued on account of the mechan
ical difficulties of the operation.

To “cut a dido" ia a very common
phrase. We never heaad of but one de
rivation of it, and that ia somewhat
mythical. According to that account,
it arose from the conduct of Dido, who
was Queen of Tyre about 870 years be
fore Christ. She fled from that place
upon the murder of her husband, and,
with a colony, settled upon the northern
coast of Africa, where she built Carth
age. Being in want of land, she bar
gained with the natives for as much
land as she could surround with a bull’s
hide. Having made the agreement, she
cut a bull’s hide into fine strings, and,
tying them together, claimed as much
land as she could surround with the long
line she had thus made. The natives al
lowed the cunning Queen to have her
way; but, when anybody played off a
sharp trick, they said he had “cut a
Dido. ’’ Tou can believe as much of this
statement_as your judgment will allow.
People Who Forget They Hare Money.
One would hardly believe that there
are many who forget they have money
or that there is money or interest due
them, and yet it is a fact. There lies in
the Treasury Department to-day $1,400,-
000 of unclaimed interest on government
bonds. The sum is getting larger every
day. This seems strange, but it is true.
This vast sum of money, or much of it,
can be drawn by simply applying for it
by whoever is entitled to it and has the
registered bond on which the interest is
due and not paid. There are thousands
of persons who have bought bonds, and
not knowing how to get the interest on
them, prefer to lose the same rather
than to expose the fact that they have
the bonds. Others have interest due
them, and actually forget the fact, and
it lies in the Treasury vaults waiting for
them to apply for it. Should one of the
clerks of the bond division inform a per
son to whom interest is due of the fact,
and the same is discovered, he would be
instantly discharged. Our government
is like that of other countries, dishonest
in matters of this kind, and is always
willing to keep that which belongs to
others, if it is not called for. Should
one of its clerks he honest enough to
give out a hint, he is discharged on the
ground that it is not probable he would
be engaged in volunteering information
nr less he received a certain percentage*
for his services; and this he has no right
to do. The government takes the
ground that the person to whom the in
terest is due should not be required to
pay for the information; at the same
lime the same government will not itself
volunteer the information. —Chicago

Saving his Farm.
They tell this story of old Bill Mul
drow, the original Col. Sellers, down in.
Missouri. Bill had engaged so largely
in speculations that lus friend, the
Sheriff, preparatory to making a levy,
called on him for an inventory of his real
estate. Bill was equal to the occasion.
He gave in not only his own land, but
interspersed between tracts much that
was not his own. Now, Muldrow, like
many other unfortunate men, waa
blessed with sons-in-law, and to these he
confided his scheme and asked their
assistance. He described his own land
minutely and instructed them when to
bid.
The sale came off. The first tract
offered did not belong to Bill, and tliis
soon became whispered around. The
result was that the bidding was very
slow, and the sale was about x>aralyzecL
The sons-in-law scooped in the bona fide
tracts for a paltry sum, and thus the
only property the old man owned was
saved to his family.
cow will give more milk and
make more butter on a bright sunshiny
day than duripg one of a dull, dark
character. The animal eats mom
heartily, digests better, while the vital
forces are active during the pleasant
day. These facts are not in themselves
very important, yet they suggest the
query whether close stabling of cows ia
winter or summer is better than giving
them the run of a yard or pasture lot.
