After the men had departed, Mrs. Wood plower sat down on the floor to carry out her plan which she had been turning oyer m her mind. -She is pf a very emulative nature, and the more she thought of tbe India-rubber man the more she became fired in the belief that she could discount some ol hisefTorts. The flrst feat attempt ed was putting her feet back of her neck. The right foot was adjust ed with circumstantial ease. All attempts to get the other one up failed utterly an^l dismally. Final ly concluding that the day was not a good one for playing circns, Mrs. G., tried to get her right foot down, but was unable to do ao. Finally, reallizing her desperate condition, Mrs. Goodplowcr’s efforts were lit tle less than superhuman, biA they were no good; tho foot would not down, and at length the unfortun ate woman gave over her fruitless erections. In tho meantime the cheerful husband and hired man wero break ing the .Sabbath and making the oat-fleld look sick.
