Collected. Sis Wages. One of the best; known attorneys of this city had a colored valet and masseur, who, after working faithfully for several months, put in a deferential plea for some por tion of the wages due him, says the San Francisco Post; “Make out your bill, ” said the attorney. The bill was made out and pre sented, and the attorney rendered a counter claim for legal services that left the valet in debt to his employer. After a gasp or two of surprise the man quietly bundled up his effects and sought other employment. ~ Another colored man took his place, and was ad vised by his predecessor of the difficulty of collecting his wages. One night, after the new valet had worked, a couple of months with out receiving a cent, the attorney returned from the banquet in such a condition that the gentleman of color had to put him to bed. . He heard the jingle of gold in his employer’s pocket, and, on inves tigation, found $60, the amount ] due him. The next morning the attorney found a receipt for the money in his pocket, but his valet had disappeared. fh« Puritans Wen Not Vp In the Scleno* of Liriag WelL To bo able to eat skillfully with a knife is a sure sign , of Puritan ances try.

I can conscientiously extol the old style of New England cookery, but the modern New England cookery is the great toboggan which brings up in Paradise—or some other seaport town. It is a delusion and a snare. The great trouble is that the modern family oook is afraid of fire, and-that “snowy” product of her skill, which she boasts so much about, is an emblem of. mourning.

THE WORK OF LEAVES. Upon Them Dtpmdi th* life of Hie Plant. In the fall of the year the deciduous trees shed their leaves, the organs by which they derive nutrition from the atmosphere in the form of carbonio acid. During the period of growth each leaf is an active chemical labora tory, drinking in carbonic acid, decom posing it, assimilating the carbon and giving off the superfluous oxygen. This decomposition of the carbonic acid takes place only during the day. Light Is essential to. the process, and on short Something to Know. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restor ing the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or $1 per bottle at M. C.
