(Jiiick Work.
The last sensation oeenrred
last Thursday, w hen about fifty
men were present by invitation
to see Jim Lawton heat 1 1 i' own
time of two years ago, when hi
wife had bread baked in eight
and a quarter minutes alter the
wheat was standing in the field.
At 1:0:10 nYlork tin - Buckeye
reaper, drawn In Cy. I'mniett‘s
dim mules stood at the eorner
of the grow iim wheat, machine
in gear ready for a 'tart. Men
were stationed every lew feet
along tlie line of grain ready to
seize an armful a* it tell from
the reaper, and rush with it to
the t h res her elose by. whi< h on
tier tin* direct ion of veteran driv

teen rods away, Lawton stood at
the window" watching the mo

est horse in the county, should
■ start from Ihe thresher with the
grain, while Mrs. l.awton and her
niece, Miss Alice, had all the
preparations made to make grid
die cakes and biscuits in the
shortest possible time. At tin*
drop of the bat tin* dm* - mules
sprang to the work, and in Im.
15s. tin* threshed wheat, about a
peek, was in the sack and on tin*
horse, and the race commenced
for tlie mill. There were two
bridges to cross, and the excited
spectators could only see a col
umn of dust, hear a couple of
taps on the plank bridge as the
horse (lew over them at lightning
speed, and tin* wheat was deliver
ed to l.awton in tin* mill. In I in.
17s. tin* Moor was delivered to
Mrs.l.awton, and in dm. 555. from

How to Save Infants.
The New York Board of Health
ha> issued the following circular
in relation totin'care and teed
mg ol infant- during the hot
weather:
••In nursing, over feeding does
more harm than anything else;
nurse an infant a mouth or two
old even two or three hours.
Nurse an infant of six months
and over, live times in twenty
four hours and no more. It an
infant is thirsty give it pure wa
ter. or barley water, no sugar.
On the hottest days, a tew drops
of whiskey may lie added locitli
er water oi food, tin* whiskey
not to exceed a teasjwninfnl in
twenty four hours.
• It the infant must lie fed,boil
a teaspoonful of powdered barley
(ground in a coffee grinder) and
a gill of water, with a little salt,
foi fifteen minutes, -train, then
mix u with half as much boiled
TII K V Ilvl.l) AND V I It KS I I> K .
milk, add a lump of white >ugar.
size of a walnut, and give it bike
warm from aTiursing bottle ; keep
bottle and mouth piece in a bow l
of water when not in use.to which
a little soda may be added.—
For infants live or six months
old give half barley water and
half boiled milk, with ~a!t and a
lump ol sugar. For older infants
give more milk than bailey wa
ter. For infants very costive,
give oat meal instead ol barley.
Cook and strain as before.
When your breast milk i~ only
halt enough, change oil between
breast milk and this prepared
food. c
••In hot weather.il hiuclitmii'
paper, applied to food, turns red.
file food is too acid, and you
must make a fresh mess, oi add
a small pinch of baking soda.
Infants of six months may have
beef t**a or beef soup once a day,
by it self, or mixed with other
food: and when ten or twelve
months old a crust of bread and
a piece of rare bed to suck.
No child under two years ought
to eat at your table. Dive no
candieswjn fact, nothing that is
not contained in these rules,
w ithout a doctor's orders.
••Summer complaint conies
from over feeding and hot and
foul air. Keep doors aiul win
dows open. Wash your well
children with cold water twice a
day, and oft oner in the hot, seas
on. Never neglect looseness of
bowels in infants; consult the
family or despensary physician
at once, and he will give you
rules about what it should take
and how it should be nursed.
Keep your rooms as cool as pos
sible, have them well ventilated,
and do not allow any bad smell
to come from sinks, privies, gar
huge boxes, or gutters about the
house wliere von live. Nee that
your own apartments are right.
Where an infant is cross and ir
citable in the hot weather a trip
on the water will do it a great
deal of good (terry boat or ex
cursiou boat )and may prevent
cholera infant mil."
Five Children at One Birth.
Fhe most remarkable birth ev
er known in the history of ae
eouchments oeenrred at or near
Salesville, Ohio, on last Monday
night. Mrs. Met‘ormiek gave birth
to five healthy children, tour
boys and one girl. The medical
works have but few instances of
such wonderful births, and when
they do occur the children have
scarcely been known to live.
In this cast* tlie mother and child
ren. in tin* common language
on such occasions are “doing
well.”
Two births of four children
have oeeured within the last til'
teen years near this region, blit
this outdoes all recorded occur
rences perhaps in the I'nited
States.
The Legend of “El Dorado.”
When the Spaniards first dis
covered Guyana and established
communications with the natives,
the later very soon became aware
of the ardent affection which
their visitors entertained for gold.
They related to the new comers
the history of a greal chief living
in tlu* interior, on tlu* banks of a
vast lake called Parime, w ho pos
sessed palaces with walls of tlu*
precious metal, and who every
day powdered himself Irom head
to foot with gold dust. The im
agination of (he adventurers wa
nt once tired, and they determin
ed to visit the Onesus whom, in
their language, they called “El
Dorado," the gilded man. The
tale was not wholly baseless, as
some such mysterious personage
did exist, and daily performed a
toilet somewhat resembling that
described in the native account.
But. instead of using real gold
dust for his decoration, he em
ployed a substance, well known
to miners, called golden saml.
which is. in fact, only an ore of
iron in minute partieles. utterly
valueless, but which glitters like
gold. Many attempts were fruit
lessly made to penetrate to El
Dorado, and. among others. Sir
Walter Raleigh. At last some
adventurers reached one of the
palaces situated on the I’ouroua
pi. an aiHuent ol the Vary, but
which turned out to he nothing
more than a natural grotto, the
walls of which were formed of
micaceous rocks. Mica i- one ot
the constituents of granite, and
lias yellowish metalie glitter,
which under a strong light,
makes it resemble gold. As f i
the famous lake Parime. some
foundation also existed tor the
legend, as the region inhabited
by the Indian chief is situated on
the alluvial lands at the foot of a
mountain range called l’umin
iiiimac.and every year during the
rainy season, the ground in cover
ed by an inundation to an im
mouse extent, and the natives are
able to navigate tin* vast forest in
their canoes.
Honesty Rewarded.
George and llan v worked in
the same shop; but as the work
ing season was almost over, and
there would be little* work to do
during the summer mouths, their
employer im formed them, as they
sett ed iij> on Saturday evening,
that lie could only give one of
them work thereafter. He was
very sorry, lie said ; but was the
best lie could do. He told them
both to come back on Monday
morning, and that In* would de
eide on the one he wished to re
main. So the young men ret timed
to their boarding bouse a good
deal ca't down; for work was
scarce, and neither one knew
where be could obtain a situation
if he was the one to leave.
That evening, as they counted
over their week's wages, said
Harry to his friend
••Mr. Wilson has paid me a
quarter of a dollar too much."
■•Solie has me,” said George,
as he looked at his.
•• llow could he have made the
mistakesaid Harry.
“ Oh, lie was very busy when
six o'clock came ; and. handling
so much money, he was careless
when lie came to pay out trifle,"
said (ieorge. as lie stalled his in
to his pocket hook.
“ You are wonderful particular
about a quarter,” said (ieorge.
•* What does he care for that trifled
Why, lie would not come to the
door for it, if he knew what you
wanted; and I am sure you work
ed hard enough to earn it.”
But Harry called, and handed
his employer the money, who
thanked him tor returning it, and
went into the house. Mr. Wilson
had paid each of them a quarter
more than their wages, on pur
pose to test their honesty.
So, when Monday morning
came, he seemed to have no ditti
culty in determining which one lie
would keep. He chose llarry.
and entrusted the shop to his care
for several months, when lie was
away on business, and was so
well pleased with his manage
ment. that, when work commen
ced in the fall, he gave him the
position of superintendent. Five
years afterwards, Harry was Mr.
Wilson's partner; and (ieorge
worked in tlu* same shop again,
but as a common laborer.
There is nothing like a good
eharaetei when you w ant employ
ment. Some young men can al
ways get work, no matter how
dull tlu* times are; while others
can find nothing to do when hands
are scarce, siniplv because they
cannot be trusted.
The Old Home.
’l'llere are hitter threads woven
in the lives of all. but to my
mind there is nothing so hit ter as
giving up the old hone. \\ lion we
look baek for the last time
through the old avenue, w ith its
grand old forest trees beneath
whose shade our childish feet
have often strayed, blithe and
happy as the lark; or when, in
our maturer years, we have been
oppressed with cares, how often
it has been our wont to while a
way anxious hours with the blue
canopy of heaven above us, and
the dear old trees with the wind
sighing through them for silent
friends. Aml the old house- shall
we ever forget it { How many
dramas in everyday life have
been enacted beneath its root !
There is no room but has some
sacred memory connected with it
—memories of happy hours spent
with loved ones gone to realms ot
endless ,jov. And when, like the
shepherds of old. we see the "star
of promise" rising in the east,
and are called to “that bourne
from whence no traveler e'er re
tarns." the recollection of the
old home will lie an oasis in mem
wrv's desert.
A Bavarian mystery ha- been
cleared up thirty nine year- after
its occurrence by the discovery
of a skeleton at Wurzburg, w hich
a -on has identified by a detect
in the teeth and by the speeta
cit s found with it as that of his
father, a Jewish peddler who tin
accountably (.isappeared in lN'Jb,
with considerable money on his
person. Siibsot|iien! iuvestiga
tion has shown that a servant in
the stable under which the re
mains were found, who lias since
died, knew ot the money the Jew
carried, enticing him into the
stable, killed, robbed and bur
ied him.
