I1E KNEW HOW TO THAT El*
A KAIlroad Incident In the Life nf a
Humorist.
We were rumbling merrily ftlong to
Putnam, Connecticut, when the new
man got on. ] think he got on at Wal
pole. He carried a valise, a blanket
rolled up in a shawl strap, a cane, an
umbrella and a book. He wore a plaid
suit and a silk hat, and a polo cap was
rolled up in his ulster pocket. In one
of them, that is, for they were legion.
He carried his wax matches in a little
pocket on his right cuff, his little case
of gentle cigarettes in a little pocket
just below the handkerchief pocket; his
card case in a little pocket near the right
hip, then there were three other unas
signed pockets on the right breast and
two other mysterious pockets on the left
side of his ulster. Then I think there
were two pockets on the back of that
wonderful garment, just below the
shoulders, but I will not be positive.
His ulster was belted in with a belt that
might have done duty on the bie pulley
in a saw mill. Ho parted his beard in
the middle, combed his hair low on his
forehead, was very broad across his
back, and had a voice as big as his
ulster. He paused beside me and looked
down at me.
“ This seat occupied, sir h”
And he Baid sir like a regular army
officer, with an impressive pause be
tween it and the rest of the sentence, a
pause just about as long as the regular
army officer usually occupies in saying
“ blessyou," or words to that indirect
effect.
"No, sir,”I said, timidly, and then
with a feeble attempt at cordiality, I
added, "sitdown, sir.”
"Sir,”said the new man, "I intend
to. I generally find a seat if the car is
crowded, or I tell people what I think
about it."
And then he sat down, partly on the
seat and partly in my lap, crushing me
up again it the window. He put his silk
hat in the rack and the polo cap down
over Iris manly brow; ho stood his cane
and umbrella up in my end of the seat
and set his valiso upon my feet. Then
ho folded his arms so that one of his
great elbows jammed itself into mv
cheek, and then ho looked comfortable.
Once in a while ho would suddenly feel
n his pocket for something, and every
time he did so, flint elbow went cruising
up and down my ribs like a street
crusher.
In ono of these sudden disturbances I
ventured, with a feeble effort at timid
sarcasm, to "hope that I didn’t incom
mode himP"
" No, sir!” said tho now man, with
considerable italics; "no, sir; I’d let
you know very quickly if you did, sir.
I’d tell you what I thought about it."
Presently he took out his little cigar
ette case, and a neat little meerschaum
holder and mado preparations for tho
comfort of a smoko, but the brakeman
touched his shoulder and cold him he
must go forward to the smoking cnr.
“ Isn’t this the smoking carP” yelled
the new man, nearly grinding me to
powder ns he turnod to face the brake-
man.
“No, sir;” replied Hint functionary,
very nirily; “this is a ladies’ ear."
" Well, by jove," said tho new man’
" I took it for the smoking car, and not
a very nice one at that. It looks like a
smoking ear, and tho people in it like
the people I generally lind in a smoker.’
And then he ground around toward
mo again and said:
"I’m an old traveler, and when I
don’t like anything I tell what I think
about it. That is where you’ll general ly
find me.”
I wanted to say something smart, hut
somehow or other I couldn’t think of
any tiling very appropriate just then,
so I held my peace, and nerved my
wrath against not only tho new man
but the fat passenger, whom I could
hear behind me making pleasant re
marks about my position. By-and-byo
we stopped at some station where thoro
was a great Concord stage waiting, and
the new man was one of the first passen
gers to rush out, saying he would have
a box seat or they’d hear what he
thought about it.
Well, I guess he sot it. He was
climbing up over the forward wheel,
roaring at the apathetic driver to take
his valise, when the train started and
the noise frightened the horses, and they
made a plunge. The new man stepped
on the wheel and was thrown headlong
on the ground, snapping bis umbrella
and cane in the spokes of the wheel as
he fell. His hat rolled off, his valise
fell in front of the wheel, which passed
over it, and two or three men, making a
rush for tho horses, stepped on his hat.
I couldn’t get my window up in time to
cheer, but the sad D&sseneer got bis
head out, and as the train movea off the
crowd around the coach and the dcw
man was thrilled by a tender, insinua
ting voice, that came singing back from
the car window with a melancholy in
tonation :
“ I say, tell ’em what you think about
it!”—Burlington Hawkeye.
It is very difficult to transplant nut
bearing trees, even when they are quite
young, on account of their long tap
roots. If this root is rut off and the tree
removed with a ball of frozen earth ad
hering to it, it may live several years;
but the chances are that it will never
make a very thrifty or productive tee -
It is accordingly better to plent the nuts
in the places where the trees are desired.
They may be planted in the fall, but
there is some danger of their being dug
up and eaten by small animals. If plant
ing is delayed till spring,the nuts should
be placed, nearly as soon as they are
gathered, in shallow boxes of sand or
light soil and left in an exposed condi
tion where they will freeze. It is best
to excavate a hole several feet deep and
fill it with manure or decayed leaves
and loose [soil, and to place the nuts
within a few inches of the surface. This
will insure a vigorous growth.
It is not necessary for a man to keep
his mug at the barber’s shop, but he
must take it there to be shaved.
FAKK, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Harvest ami Store Onions.
When theonion crop is nearly ripe the
tops lrso their lively green color, grow
weak above the bulbs and drop over.
Sometimes a crop matures unevenly, in
which case some of the tops fall over
wtiile many remain upright. This in
equality is owing to the season or seed
or both, and a large proportion of the
onions will incline to run to scallions or
large-necked bulbs. When a consider
able proportion of the tops stand up
many cultivators roll an empty barrel
over the rows in order to bend down the
tops and thus hasten the ripening pro
cess on the part of those plants which
would otherwise remain green too long.
Other cultivators there are who look
upon this as a doubtful expedient, be
lieving n seailion will remain a scallion
whether standing upright or bent over.
When the main crop has ripered the
onions should be harvested. It is reoom-
mcndedtopull all at this time and sort
out what t is unfit for market or table
use. If allowed to remain in the ground
after they are ripe onions will make a
second growth, which injures their
quality very perceptibly. They may
be pulled by hand or raked out with an
ordinary hand-rake. A common prac
tice is to put them in windows, six or
eight rows in each. If the tops are
green they may remain for several days
without stirring, but if dry rak
ing them over carefully every fair
day is advised. In a fortnight’s time—
more or less, according to the weather—
the tops will have become well cured
and the bulbs hard and solid. When
this stage is reached the onions can be
carted to the store-house on n dry day
and kept with the tops on until the latter
are dead throughout their entire length.
The tops ought never to bo cut off so
long as any portion is green, as the
onions will bleed and soon decay. An
approved method of curing practiced in
some sections of the country consists in
stacking the onions in pyramidal piles
containing one barrel each alter they
have lain scattered on tho ground about
three days. These stacks remain un
touched, sny, two weeks, unless a rain
occurs, in which case the heaps are
opened on a fair day and piled again.
At the expiration of tho two weeks the
stacks arc spread and raked frequently
for during three bright drying days,
when they uro ready to house. The
slacking affords an o pportunlty for tho
bulbs to sweat, and keeps them, in a
measure, from the weather, all of which
ronders them less liable to sweat after
storing and imparts a brighter, clearer
appearance than when tho onions are
left scattered on the ground to cure.
Farmers there are whose rule it is to
pusli off' the onion crop as soon as pos
sible after it is rip >. Others find it to
their interest to delay a sale until the
middlo of October, while some keep
their crops through the winter for
higher rates in the spring. When onions
aro to bo disposed of previous to cold
wnattier tjey maybe laid on a loose
Hour or in any dry placo whore there is
a free circulation ot air. If it is desired
to keep them through the winter onions
aro best stored where frost will not affect
them and where no loss will be sus
tained from heating and growing. They
should not be putin cellars unless re
markably dry and cool. A lattice-work
bin affords a good storage place, pro
vided it is raised a little from tho floor
and erected in a dry, cool building.
A populnr mode of storing onions
when freezing wcaihw sets in is to spread
straw to a depth of twelve or fifteen
inches upon a barn or gairet floor, then
a iayer ot onions from six to ten inches
thick, covered in turn by a layer ot
straw, say two foot in depth, and held
in place by old boards or rails. Onions
may be kept in small quantities for
homo use by tho primitive method of
tying upon strings and suspending from
the beams in cellar or garret, or by
spreading thinly upon shelves.
Freezing does onions littlo or no in
jury, providing aiways they aro th .wed
out gradually. As this cannot be in
sured tho Bate plan is to protect them.
If they should become frozen, however*
avoid stirring or uncovering them until
thawed out. Mold and rot are not
likely to occur if onions are thoroughly
cured previous to storing; are kept in a
dry, cool place, and are not bruised.—

New Potatoes a i.a Cheme.—Select
some new potatoes all of the same e zs
- about as largo as apricots. Boil them
in salted water; drain them when dry,
and pour over them a little drawn-but
ter sauce. These potatoes, when prop
erly cooked and served very hot, are
delicious.
Salad or Beets.—Boil in salted
water equal quantities ot both, and set
them on ice to get co.d. Just before
serving cut them into thin but regular
slices, dress witli pepper, salt, oil and
vinegar, and garnish with watercress.
Chicken Hash —This i's the proper
way to serve for breakfast whatever roast
or boiled chicken may be left over from
dinner. Mince the cold chicken, but
not very fine, and to a cupful of m at
add two tablespoonfuls good butter, a
half cup of milk, enough minced onion
to give a slight flavor, and salt, mace
and pepper to taste. Stew it, taking
care to stir it, and serve daintily with a
garnish of parsley. Every particle of
bone must be extracted.
TIMELY TOPICS.
Of the 1,628,000,000 gallons of milk
produced in the United States in a year,
it is probable that about one-eighth is
used in rearing and fattening o. calves,
leaving a balance of 1,424 500,000 gallons
for consumption in tho form of milk,
butter, cheese and in cooking. If this
was nil made into cheese it would pro
duce over 500,000 tons of ripe cheese,
assuming that a little over a gallon of
milk makes one pound of green cheese
and that it loses fifteen per cent, in
ripening. This would give us about ten
ounces per head, per week. Or it would
make 230,000 tons of butter, receiving
twenty-two pints to tho pound, or five
ounces per head, per week.
Ulllk for Poultry.
This is ono of the very best things to
give either young or old fowls. Most
every breeder lias tested its value and
recommends it as a wholesome and
nutritious diet, naturally adapted for
young chicks and poultry. On every
farm and in most all suburban homes
milk.is fed to pigs. This is one way to
lUilyro it Rill, tr rfirmom
tention to their poultry stock than thoy
do, they would find that they could
turn it to better account by feeding it to
their chicks and laying hens.
All kinds of poultry are fond of milk.
Although they soon become satiated if
fed exclusively on grain, animal, vege
table or insect food, they seldom refuse
milk in any form—fresh or sour, it
makes no difference to them. Nowaday,
milk enters largely into tho bill of fare
for chicks and fowls. Fanciers have
found out that it contains properties
beneficial to their health and early de
velopment. Almost the first food—and
with many the first after the yolk is
assimilated—its soothing and nutritive
effect is apparent, and if mixed with
stale bread crumbs or oatmeal cake
nothing is better.
Now, for laying hens milk is nourish
ing, and induces laying. Where it can
be spared it is more valuable to the.
poultry stock than to any other. If
farmers would give it a fair trial, and
lay aside the fogy notions of their ances
tors and look at things in a new light,
they would abandon tho practice of
feeding their spare milk to pigs and
give it to a better-paying stock .—Poultry

Forgot His French.'
At one of Mile. Bernhnrdt’s receptions
in this city, says tho Boston Journal, a
young Bostonian found the way open to
an introduction, which he had eagerly
desired. In order not to appear too pro
vincial he called on a friend, slightly
versed in French, to acquire informa
tion regarding the deportment usual on
such an occasion. "Well,” said his
friend, " when you are Introduced you
will bow and smile, and withdraw. If
you sue fit you can say, ‘ Mademoiselle,
j’ai l’honneur do vous saiue.’’ “Yes,
that’s it—I want to say something. It
would bo so stupid to walk up. take a
look and back out without saying a
word." “It would please the lady to
hear herself addressed in her native
tongue.” “ Splendid," added the pupil,
"but what does tho lingo mean that
you mentionP’* “That you aro glad to
see hor in Boston, nnd salute tier in the
nnme of tho people. "Splendid,” re
joined the novice, "youjust write it
down and IM commit it to memory,”
For tho rest of the day the studious
young mau might have heon seen in the
horse cars and at his place of business
scanning with great care a bit of paper
which ho took out of his vest pocket
and put back into IiIb vest pocket some
two hundred times in the course of six
hours. He became letter perfect, and
as he passed the statuo of Franklin on
his way home he smiled, and exclaimed,
“ Benjamin, jay l’honnor de voo saiue.”
He liked the sound of his own salutation
so well that almost involuntnry ho ejacu
lated, " Park street Church, jay l’hon-
nor do voo saiue,” and as ho looked up
at the Stato House ho oowed and whis
pered, "Gilded dome, jay l’honnor de
vous saiue.” As he left his aged moth
er and spinster sister after dinner to
porfect his toilet he addressed his rela
tives with "Good evening, jay l’honnor
de vous saiue.”
Thnt the immediate membors ot his
own family felt that something was
wrong with ttieir relative was apparent
from tho fact that as he left the house he
was watched by them till he was out of
sight. But it was in crossing tho Public
Garden that young Bostcn went through
his grand dross rehearsal. Ho looked at
the Ether monument in the distance
and at onco imagined that it was the
Bernhardt. He approached gracefully,
took off his hat, and in mellifluous tones
exclaimed: "Mile. Bernhardt, jay
l’honnor de vous saiue.” He was so
well satisfied that he concluded that
nothing more could be done in the way
of preparation, and he walked boldly to
the encounter congratulating himself
that Boggs would die of envy when lie
heard of this graceful little speech, and
already, in imagination he was basking
in the smilo of the great actress
It was Borno time after the reception
had commenced that he took ho arm of
his frien t who was to honor him with
an introduction. As he approached the
actress, sculptor and painter lie felt a
weakness in his knees. The room ap
peared to be turning round while the
phrase which he had imprinted on his
memory became a mass of words witli-
out moaning. He heard his name pro
nounced as if it wero some other feliow
who was being introduced, and he felt
that this other fellow mado a bow and
said: “ Mam'selle.” He knew the other
fellow broke down. He heard the
voice mentally but the words were un
uttered. He retired, seized his coat and
in the cool air of that winter evening lie
wended his way home. As he passed
the statue of Washington on horseback
he looked up and remarked: "George.

It is evident from the statement which
President Diaz makes in his annual
message that the Mexican republic has
wakened thoroughly lo the impor
tance of connecting the chief towns by
railroads. He says th t lie has given
ten States authority to build railroads,
and he speaks ot ten lines which are
being constructed. These include the
inter-colonial railroad at Tehuantepec,
iheline from Guaymas to our frontier,
and the two grent trunk railroads which
are to establish communication between
the Mexican capital and the Ameilean
system, with two branches to the Pa
cific. Such evidences ef progress are
significant in n country which a few
years ago could boast only of the Eng
lish-built line from Vera Cruz to the
capital.
It is surprising how quickly tne vege
tation of many countries settled by
Europeans lias been modified. A German
writer,describing the flor a of Chili south
of the Valdivia river, states that tho
scenery between the Rio Buna and its
winding affluents reminds him very
strongly of homo. In the park-like
prairies, associated with deciduous
beeches, are numerous scattered apple
trees, originally introduced from Europe.
Tho apple tree iias spread from Valdivia
to Osorno, and even crossed the Andes
into Northwestern Patagonia, and spread
thence eastward. Indeed, it has become
so widely distributed and so general,
liiat the Indians from the distant regions
of the Argentine rivers, Rio Negro nnd
Rio Colorado, are called manzaneros or
apple Indians.

lVifte Cave of Hill,.
In the British house of lords Lord
Brougham once mentioned two some
what remarkable facts, showing the
necessity of having a safe place for the
deposit of wills. The first case was ofie
in which one of his noble friends, as a
devisee, gained $150,000 a year. How
the first lost it, and the last gained it,
was by a will being found in a rusty
old box, in an old traveling carriage,
and which, therefore, might have been
very naturally lost by accident or de
stroyed from ignorance. The second
case was one also in which some of his
noble friends were concerned, and the
sum in question was no less than $750,-
000. This sum would have been en
tirely lost to the purposes for which it
was intended, if the inquiries relative to
the existence of a will with respect to
it had been in tituted in the winter in
stead of in the summer. The will was
searched for everywhere, but could no
where he found, until at last it was dis
covered in a grate, and stuffed like a
piece of waste paper through the bars;
if it had been winter instead of summer
in all probability when the fire had been
lighted it would have been destroyed.
