(Cr“ Many of you remember Isaugl)’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate and its introduction for the growth of Cotton as far back as 1857, or two years after its first appear ance in the North as the pioneer phosphate made from ltaw or Unburned Bones. Since that time it has been used and ap preciated by the leading farmers and plan ters in the North and South. Years ago the manufacturers decided not to sell it on long time or credit, cotton option, and were the first as far as they know to quote a low price (cash down) for a phosphate of established repu/nlion. This article con forms in analysis to the State Law, and is offered at a very low price for cash. The only terms on which it can be obtained from the manufacturers are : cash to ac company the order or you can arrange with your agent in Baltimore, Philadel phia or New York to pay for it on presen tation of bill and bill of lading. If you cannot buy Baugh’s Raw Bone Superphosphate from your Factorat home, we advise you t<o order direct from us.

Ilia Pa la “NUhiatcd.” “Say, are you a Mason or a nodfellow, or anything?” asked the bad boy of the grocery man, as he weQt to the cinnamon bag on the shelf and took out a long stick of cinnamon bark to chew. “AVhy, yes, of course, I am, but what set you to thiokiug of that!” asked the grocery tnan, asjjie went to the desk and ohurged the boy’s father with half a pound of cinnamon. “Well, do tho goats bunt when you nishiate a fresh candidate?” “No, of course not. The goats are cheap ones that have no life, and we muz zle them, and put pillows over their beads so they can’t hurt anybody,” said the gro cery man as he winked at a brother Odd Fellow who was seated on a sugar barrel, looking mysterious. “But why do you ask?” ‘•Oh, Duthiu, only I wish me and my churn had muzzled our gout with a pillow. | Pa would have enjoyed his becoming a member of our lodge better. You see, pa had been telling us how much good the Masons and Odd Fellows did, and said we ought to try and grow up good so wc could jiue the lodger when we got big, and I asked pa if it would do any hurt for us to play lodge in my room, and purtend to nishiate, and pa said it wouldn’t do any hurt. He said it would irnproveour minds and learn us to be men. So my chum aod me borried a goat that lives io a liv ery-stable. Say, did you know they keep a goat in a livery-stable so the horses won’t get sick? They get used to the smell of the goat, and aftei that nothing can make them sick but a glue factory. I wish my girl boarded in a livery.sta ble, then she would get used to the smell. I went home wiih her from Church Sun day night, and the smell of the goat on my clothes made her sick to her stummick. and she acted just like au excursion on the lake, and said if I didn’t go and bury my self and take the smell out of me she wouldn't never go with uie again. She was just as pule ns a ghost, and the perspira tion on her lip was just zit she had been hit by a street sprinkler. You see my ebum and me had to carry the goat up to my loom when p# and un were out riding, aud he blatted so we had to tie a handker chief around Ins nose, and his feet made such a noise on the floor that we put some baby socks on his feet. Gosh, how frowsy a goat smells, don’t it? I should think you Masons must have strong stummix, AVhy don’t you have a skunk or a mule for a trade mark? Take a mule aud anoint it with limburg cheese, and you could nishi ate and make a candidate smell just as bad as with a gosh darn mildewod goat. Well, sir, my chum and me practised with that goat until he could bunt a pic ture of a goat every time. We borried a buck beer sign from the saloon man, and hung it on tho back of a chair, and the goat would hit it every time. That night pa wanted to know what we were doing up iu uiy room, and I told him we were play ing lodge and improving our minds, and pa said that was right, tbero was nothing that did boys of our age half so much good as to nishiate uien and store by use ful nollidge. Then my chum asked pa if he didn’t want to come up and take the grand bumper degree, aud pa lafled, and said he didn’t care if he did, just to en courage us boys iu innocent pastime, that was bo improving to our intellex. We hud shut the goat up iD a closet in my room, and he hud got over blatting, so we took off the huokerchiet, and he was eatiug some of my paper collars aud skate-straps. “We wont up stairs, and told pa to come up oretty soon aud give three distinct raps, and when wc asked him who comes there, he must say, ‘a pilgaric who wants to joiu your aucicut order and ride the goat.’ Ma wanted to come up too, but we to)d her if she come iu it would break up the lodge, cause a woman couldn't keep a secret, aod we didn’t huve any side saddle for the goat. Say, if you never triad it, the next time you nishiate a man in your Mason’s lodge, you sprinkle a little kyao pepper oo tho goat’s beard just afore you turn him loose, you can get thypy times as much fun to tho square inch of gpuf. You wouldn’t fhiuk it w as the same gout, Well, wc got nil fixed and pa rapped, and we let him in and told him he must bo blindfolded, and he got on his knees a luffin, and I tied a towel rouod hie eyes, and then I turned him arouod and made him get down on his hands also, then his back was right to ward tho closet door, and I put the buck beer sign right against pa’s olothes. Ho was a laffin all the time, and said wo boys were fall of fun as they made ’em, aod we told him that it was a solemn occasion, and we wouldn’t permit do levity, and if he didn’t stop laffin we couldn’t give him the grand bumper degree. Then everything was ready, and my churn hud his hand on the oloset door, and some kyan pepper in the other hund, and I asked pa id low bass tones if ho felt as though he wanted to turn back, or if he had Dcrve enough to go ahead and take the degree. I warned him that it was full of danger, as the goat was loaded fur bear, aod told him he yet had time to re trace his steps if he wanted to. He said he wanted the whole business, and we could go ahead wilh the menagerie. Then I said to pa that if lie had decided to go ahead, and not (o blame us for the consequences, to repeat after me the fol lowing : “Bring forth the Royal Bumper, and let him Bump!” Fa repeated the words, and my chum sprinkled the kyan pepper oo the goat’s moustache, aod he sneezed once and looked sassy, and (hen he see the lauer beer goat raring up, and he started for it, just like a cow catcher, and biatted. Fa is rale fat, but he knew he had got hit, and he grunted, and said : ‘AVhot you boys doin’?’ aod then the goat gave him another degree, and pa pulled off the towel and got up aDd s'arted for the stairs, and so did (he goat, and tna was at the bottom of lhe steps listening, and when l looked over the bannisters pa and ma and the goat were all in a heap, and pa was yelling murder, and ma was screaming fire, and the goat was blatting and sneez ing aud butting, aud the hired girl came into the liail and the goat took after her, and she orossed herself just as the goat struck her avd said : “Holy mother, pro tect uie!” and wout down stairs the way we boys slide down hill, with both bauds on herself, aod the goat rnred up aud blat ted, and pa and ma went into their room and shut the door, and (l>eu my chum and uie opeoed the front door and drove the goat out. The minister, who cornea to see tna three times every week, was just riDgiog the bell, aud the goat thought he wanted to be nishiated, too, and gave him one for luck, and theu weut down the side walk, sneezing and blatting, and tho min ister came in the parlor aud said he was stabbed, and theu pa came out of his room with his suspenders hanging down, and he didn’t know the minister was there, und he said cuss wotds, and ma cried and told pa lie would go to perdition sure, and pa said he didn’t cure, he would kill that kus sid goat afore he went, and I told pa the minister was in the parlor, and lie aud ma went down and said the weather was pro pitious for a revival, and it seemed as though au outpouring of the spirit was about to be vouchsafed to his people, and none of them sot dowu but ma, cause the goa.' didn’t bit her, aud while they was talking relidgin with their mouths, and kussin the goat inwardly, my chum aud me adjourned the lodge, and I went and stay ed with him all bight, and I haiu’t been home since. But I don’t believe pa will lick me, cause he said he would not hold us* responsible for the consequences. He ordered the goat hissclf, aud we filled the order, don’t you sec? Well, I guess I will go and sneak in the back way and find out from tho hired girl how the land lays. She just happened to get in at the wrong time. Good-by, sir. Remember und give your goat kyau pepper in your lodge.” As the boy went away aud skipped over the back fcocc, tho grocery muu said to : his brother Odd-Fellow, "If that boy don’t beat the deuce, I never saw ono that did. ’ The old man ought to huve him sent to a lunatic asylum.” 11.

He will not hint, so long as ho can help it, at care in trifiing expenses; he does not like to associate himself in her mind with disappointments and self de nials.

Hut so groat is t|ie buoyancy of the climate and the purity of tlie at mosphere in this metropolis of northwest ern Canada that littio inconvenience is felt from the cold. A stranger, however, is apt to suffer from his inexperience. He was walking, he says, on the street one day, and feeling very comfortable, when a citir.cn came up to him, and slapping him on the shoulder exclaimed: yer nose is frig.” And he found that t!;;s was actually the case. He noticed aftcr= ward that people walking in the streets were in the habit of frequently sjappipg their noses aud ears to keep up the circu lation of those parts.
