Next morning a peasant came that way with his ox-cart. ‘‘Oh. these lazy people!” said he, “there is this big stone lying right in the middle of the road, and no one will take the trouble to put it out of the way.” And so Hans wen l on, scolding about the laziness of the people. Next came a gay soldier along. IT is head was held so far back that ho didn't notice <he stone, and so he stumbled over it. He began to storm at the country people around there for leaving a hugh rock in the road. Then he wont on. Next came a company of merchants. When they came to the stone, the road was so narrow that they had to go off in single file on the other side. One of them cried out, ‘‘Did anybody ever see the liko of that big stone lying here the whole of the morning, and not a single person stopping to take it away?” It laid there for three weeks, and no one tried to remove it. Then the duke sent around word to all the people on his lands to meet where this rock lay, as ho had something to tell them. The day came, and a great crowd gathered. Old Hans, the farmer, was there and so were the merchants. A horn was heard, and a splendid caval, cade came galloping up. The duke got down from his horse, and began to speak to the people gathered there. ‘ My friends, it was I who put this stone hero three weeks ago. Every passer-by has left it just where it was, and has scolded his neighbor for not taking it out of the way.” He stooped down and lifted tiff the stone. Directly underneath it was a round hollow, and in the hollow lay a small leathern bag. The duke held up this hag, that all might see what was written on it, “For him who lifts up the stone.” He untied the hag, and turned it upside down, and out upon the stone fell a beautiful gold ring and twenty large, bright gold coins. So they all lost tho prize because they had not learned the lesson, or formed the habit of diligence. Thinning Corn. Prof. Roberts, of the Come!! Univer sity, made some experiments in growing corn upon the college farm last season, the results of which are valuable, lie planted three plots of three-sixteenths of an acre each with corn, and thinned the hills in one lot to three stalks, an other to three stalks to a hill; the third was not thinned. The first plot yield ed at the rate of ICO bushels, the sec ond 125 bushels, and the third IOC bushels (of ears) to the acre. Mr. Roberts states, as the results of many experiments prior to these, at lowa Agricultural College, that the heaviest crops of corn were made by growing three stalks to a hill, and that two stalks will produce mpre corn than five stalks. "Ifqvery stalk produces an ear, and corn is planted three feet each way, there will be nearly 100 bushels of shelled grain per acre. To grow maxi mum crops of corn, then, it is only ne cessary to grow one ear upon a stalk, and ears of such asize that a hundred of them will make a bushel of grain. In view of this it is strange that with so prolific a grain as corn, a yield of 100 bushels per acre, should be considered as something almost impossible to be obtained. Fiiro For Styes. Put a teaspoonful ofsoda in a small bag, pour on it just enough boiling wa ter to moisten it, then put it on the eye pretty warm. Keep it on all night and in the morning the stye will most likely begone; if not, a second applica tion is sure to remove it. .We have heard that the white of an egg, applied to the eyelid with a feather, just before retiring, soon effects a cure. Styes arise from impurity of the blood, and no permanent cure can bo effected by a mere external application. The blood should be in a healthy condition by the frequent use of some mild purgative — say a dose of rhubarb and magnesia. Col. Tobi Howard of Kirkwood, says i that he lias crab grass on his place so ob stinate that a hull elephant couldn't pull a ! lancet through it. 1 A ('oniiiiliinl Controversy. The bolt on the back door had need ed replacing for a long time, but it wap only the other night that Mr. Throcton had the presence of mind to buy anew one and take it home. After supper he hunted up his tools, removed the old bolt and measured the location for the new one. He must boro some new holes, and Mrs. Throeton heard him roaming around the kitchen and wood shed, slamming doors, pulling out draw ers and kicking the furniture around. She went to head of the stairs and call ed down : Richard, do you want anything? Yes, Ido ! ho yelled back. I want to know wherein Texas that corkscrew is? Corkscrew, Richard ? Yes, corkscrew, Richard! I’ve looked the house over and can’t find it! Why, we never had one, Richard! Didn’t, eh ? We’ve had a dozen of ’em in the last two years, and I bought one not four weeks ago. It’s always the way when 1 want anything. Rut you must bo out of your head, husband, she said, as she descended the stairs. We’ve kept house seven years, and I never remember of seeing you bring a corkscrew home. 0, yes, I’m out of my head, I am ! he grumbled, as he pulled out the sew ing machine drawer and turned over its contents. Perhaps I’d bettor go to the lunatio asylum right away. Well, Richard, I know that I have never seen a corkscrew in this house. Then you’re are as blind as an owl in daylight, for I’ve bought five or six ! The house is always upside down, any way, and I never can find anything ! The house is kept as well as any one of your folks can keep one, she retort* i ed, growing red in the face. ! I’d like my mother to be here to | show you a few things, he said, as he stretched his neck to look on the high shelf in the pantry. Perhaps she’d boil her spectacles with the potatoes again 1 answered the wife. Do you know who you are talking to !he ye,lied, a3 he jumped down. Yes, I do ! Well, you’ll be going for York State, if you don’t look out ! i’d like to see myself! When Igo this house goes ! Look nut, Nancy ! I’m afraid of no man that lives, Richard Throcton ! I’ll leave you ! And I’ll laugh to see you go! Going close up to her ho extended his finger, shook it to emphasize his words, and slowly said : Nancy Throction. I’ll apply for a di vorce to-morrow! T’ll tell the judge that I kindly and lovingly asked you where the gimlet was, and you said we’d never had one in the house, which is a bold falsehood, as I can prove ! Gimlet 1 she gasped. Yes, gimlet ! Why, I know where there are three or four. You said corkscrew. Did I? he gasped, sitting down on tho corner of the table; well now, I he lieve I did. And you went and abused me like a I 'slave because I wouldn’t sty a gimlet was a corkscrew, sho sobbed, falling on the lounge. Nancy, ho said, tender I }*, lifting her up. Oh, Richard, she chokingly answer ed. Nancy, I’ll go right out doors and kill myself. No, you needn’t—-I love you still, only—only—you know a gimlet is not a corkscrew. It ain’t—it ain’t, Nancy ; forgiinme and less be happy. ' And that household is so quietly happy that a canary bird would sing its head off if hung in tho hall.—-Detroit Free Press. A Kattalicri Conscience. There are a great many stories nfxoat about tho punctilious observance ol Sunday in Scotland; but we remember none more illustrative of the absurdity to which the custom is carried than the following, which is told by tho Count De Medino Pornar, in his newly pub lished work, “The Iloney Moon.” It was at the hotel of Dumbarton. 1 had just got up and rung the hell ful some hot wator for -having. A waiter answered my call “I wantsomc hot water,if you please,’' I said. •‘And whnt do you want with the hot water?” “For shavintr,” said I. •‘Ye canna have the hot wafer on the Lord’s Day for sic a thing as shaving,” said the waiter, horror struck at the idea. I insisted again, but with the same effect. “Na, na,” said lie, “ye canna have it.” Necessity is thp mother of invention, ’tis said, and this aroused mine. I thoujdit that if I could arrange the or der in such a way that it would not af fect his religious scruples, he would bring it directly. I therefore proposed that I should like some toddy, and told him to bring me the materials for mak ing it, consisting of whisky, sugar, and boiling water. These he brought with out the least, demur. I gave him the whisky, which ho drank, and I used the hot water. So conscience was satis fied. —o • Plant a tiirape l Fir?t, No one farmer in tfltenty will buy grapes or other fruit except apples for himself and family, but grapes are so easily and cheaply grown that no family with a square rod of ground should be without a few grape vines. Grapes can be got in bearing earlier than any other fruit, excepting strawberries; and with well-rooted layers I have had one bunch of grapes the first year after setting.— Yet many a man spends fifty to one hundred dollars in setting in apple or chard, which will not bear till six or eight years after, who would begrudge five dollars for a dozen vines of the choicest grapes, which he might eat within two years, and have abundance before five years have passed. Ido not objoet to extensive and early planting of apple orchards; “this ought ye to have done, and not have left the other undone.” It seems to me that the first duty of a settler on new land is to plant half a dozen grape vines, and after that as many as he can afford.— Fresh fruit is necessary to the health of a family, and nothin" is more qnickly, easily, or cheaply grown than grapes.— [Exchange. )?lii.yiiig She Fool. A nice young man was at a social th? other night and was very profuse in his exhibitions of unanimous knowledge.— There was nothing in tho range of the sciences that he didn’t know, bt}£ ho was particular hefty on music. He knew all about, the harmony of sounds, and could play on almost anything.— An old gentleman becoming disgusted with the blood’s pretensions, remarked that he couldn’t play himself, hut he understood the theory of music so well that he could tell what tune a persotj was fingering by the motions without hearing the sounds. This so astonish ed the young man that he proposed to test this wonderful power of his elder, and at once drew up to a table, and be gun to gently finger as if up* n a key board, remarking that he wns now going through the motion of a popular air, asked the old man: “What am I playing now?” The old gent winked at the girls, am* blandly remarked: ‘ I think you’re playing the darned fool, if you are makiug the right mo tions!” While the girls were trying to mas ticate their handkerchiefs the young maa left. ♦— The Cleveland Plaindealer, announc r ing the marriage of Mr. John Garrett to Miss Louisa House, gets off this: Jolin tried to live a single life. But found lie could not bear it; So now lie’s added “House” and wife To what before was Garrett.
