He had on a salmon-colored overcoat which had streaked and faded across the shoulders and back in a curious fashion, and as he stood in front of a Michigan avenue clothing house and stared at the number, this oondition of the garment was carefhlly recorded by the proprietor before stepping to inquire: "Can I sell you somedings today ?" "I 'spose you remember me, don't you ?" asked the man. "No, sir! I nefer saw you pefore in my life." "Don't remember my coming here about this time last year?" "Vhere you got dot oafercoat, eh ?" "I came here about this time last year to buy an overcoat. Don't you remember of my having a big dog with me?" "I doan' remember nodings.

Oil on the Troubled Waters.?The hands of the clock were marking the hour of twelve, midnight. She had been waiting for two hours for him; her anger, from a gentle simmering, gradually increased in temperature until the boiling-point was reached. She was ready for him. As he entered the room with a half idiotic, half good-natured smile on his face, she opened her mouth to pour out the accumulated and thoroughly heated contents of the reservoir of her wrath, but before she cold get out a drop he said : "See 'ere, lovev, d'ye think marriage's a lottery?" She was so taken aback that she could only murmur inarticulately that she didn't know. "It ain't," he said. "How c'n marriage be a lottery when a f ler has only to look 'round him to pick out the first prize, same's I did ? No lottenr 'bout that." She brought him his slippers, and five minutes later she was opening a box of sardines for him with his best razor. A Husband's Christmas Present.?A gentleman sauntered into a large dry goods store in the city of L a few days before Christmas, and remarked casually to the attentive clerk: "I want something for a Christmas present for my wife. What have you got? The clerk suggested various things, but the customer seemed not quite satisfied. At last he asked, "Have you cotton cloth ?" "Certainly, sir." - TT L "I need some new snirts. now muw cloth does it take for a shirt?" "About four yards." "Well, let's see. I want eight new shirts. Eight times four are thirty-two. I'll take thirty-two yards." The gratitude of the wife at receiving as a Christmas present the cloth for eight new shirts for her husband can be better imagined than described. At Sixes and Sevens.?"How are you getting on Uncle Mose ?" "Poor, poorly, thank God." "What's the matter ?" "I has seben gals to support, boss. Hit cost a power of money to fill up seben moufs three times a day." "Yes, but I heard one of your daughters was going to get married, so that will only leave six to support." "Dat's whar you am foolish yerself, boss. Dat ar gal am gwine ter marry one ob dose culled politicians, so instead of habin' only six to support when she marries I'll have eight moufs to feed, for mighty few of dese politicianers, white or black, is wuff de powder hit would take to shoot 'em. No, boss, it would be eight instead ob six to feed when dat gal marries, not countin' de natural consequences." Some Boyish Answers.?A schoolboy habit of placing upon a question some literal meaning other than intended by the examiner often leads to answers as curious as unexpected. Thus an inspector asked a lad what were the chief ends of man, and he replied : "His head and feet." Another youth, questioned as to where Jacob was going when he was ten years old, replied that "he was going on for eleven." One specially unimaginative juvenile, called upon to say for what the Red sea was famous, replied: "Red herrings!" But perhaps the most startling answer of this Irinrl was that, of the bov who. when asked what was meant by an unclean spirit, responded: "A dirty devil, sir!" 'A Story of a Bright Girl.?"I want some more chicken," said four-year-old Frances at the dinner table. "I think you have had as much as is good for you, dear," said Frances' mamma. "I want more." And Frances pouted. "You can't have more, now; but here is a wish-bone that you and mamma can pull. That will be fun. You pull one side and I'll pull the other, and whoever gets the longer end can have her wish come true. Why, baby, you've got it! What was your wish, Frances?" "I wish for some more chicken," said Frances, promptly. She got it this time.? Harper's Bazar. Childish Repartee.?Said a Sundayschool teacher, "remember, dear children, that God is everywhere." The words had hardly escaped his lips, when a roguish looking little fellow rose up and said to the pastor: "Please sir, did you say that God was everywhere ?" "Yes, my son ; everywhere." "Is he in my pocket?" "Yes, he is in your pocket." "Well, I guess I've got you there," was the triumphant retort; "'cause I hain't got any pocket." 9?" "John," said a loving wife, "I wish you would sing two or three lines of a song for me." "What on earth do you want me to do that for ?" "There is something I want you to bring home, and I've forgotten what it is, but I think I'll remember it if you sing." The good-natured hnsband complied, and the charming wife said : "I remember now. It's a file I want." A Little Flattery.?She?I thought I married the best man in town, but I find I made a mistake.

Ipsfeltattwiw fleadittg. VAST MASS OF SILVER. Under the heading "Four Hundred Millions of Silver! What does it mean ?" Mr. David A. Wells, writing in Harper's Weekly, says: < The treasury of the United States had in store on the 1st of October, 1891, 348,841,193 silver dollars ; $15,848,720 in tho form of subsidiary silver; silver bars to the value of $41,579,253; trade dollars (bare) $2,394,264?total $409,261,326, or in round numbers, $400,000,000. The government, furthermore, is increasing this immense store, by buying seven additnonal tons of silver every working day in the year. Now, what does $400,000,000 worth of silver mean ? Coiued into dollars the product will weigh over 22,000,000 pounds avoirdupoise or 11,000 net tons; and if its movement is desirable, will necessitate for so doing the use of 1,000 railroad freight care carrying eleven tons each, or 2,200 cars carrying five tons each, or 5,500 two-horse wagons carrying each two tons. Assuming a load of 100 pounds per man, an army of 220,000 men would be required to carry the mass, and would make file, in close order , eighty miles long, occupying thirty hours in "passing a given point" al-1 lrtwinrr fnr lmlta nr "rest." *v " ? A cubic inch of pure silver weighs about 0.38 pound, and a cubic foot about 657 pounds. Hence, the $400,000,000, if melted! into a solid mass, would occupy some 36,500 cubic feet, which in turn would make a solid column of pure silver a foot square and about six-and-a-half miles high?the Washington monument being 550 feet. The treasury counts its silver by weighing it, which is the part of wisdom, in view of the fact that a man, counting at the rate of 200 dollar pieces per minute, steadily for eight hours a day, Sundays included, would be kept busy for considerably over eleven years. Piled one upon the other, the $400,000,000 would attain a height 675 miles; and placed side by side they would carpet a room fifty feet wide and nearly twenty-four miles long. How God Teaches the Birds.?On the island of Java grows a tree, the leaves of which are said to be a deadly poison to all venomous reptiles. The odor of the leaf is so offensive to the whole snake family that if they come near the plant in their travels, they immediately turnabout and take an opposite direction. A traveler on the island noticed, one day, a peculiar fluttering and cry of distress from a bird high above his head. Looking up, he saw a mother-bird hovering round a nest of little ones in such a frightened and perplexed manner as to cause him to stop and examine into the trouble. Going round to the other side of the tree, he found a large snake climbing slawly up the tree in the direction 01 ine lane nest. It was beyond his reach; and since he could not help the little feathered songsters by dealing a death-blow he sat down to see the result of the attack. Soon the piteous cry of the bird ceased, and he thought, "Can it be possible she has left her young to their fate, and has flown away to seek her own safety ?" No; for agpin he heard a fluttering of wings, and looking up, saw her fly into the tree with a large leaf from this tree of poison and carefully spread it over her little ones. Then alighting on a branch high above her nest, she quietly watched the approach of her enemy. Kis ugly, writhing body kept slowly along, nearer and still nearer until within a foot of the nest; then just as he opened his mouth to take in his dainty little breakfast down he went to the ground as.suddenly as though a bullet had gone through his head, and hurried off into the jungle beyond. The little birds were unharmed; and as the mother-bird flew down and spread her wings over them, the poison-ieaf?poison only to the snake?fell at the feet of the traveler; and he felt as never before, the force of the words "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing ? yet not one of them shall fall to the grouud without your Father." For who but he who made the dear little birds could have told this one the power there was in this leaf? "In God We Trust."?The motto, "In God We Trust," which is now stamped upon all gold and silver coins of the United States, was suggested by an old farmer living in Maryland. This conscientious Christian, gentleman thought that our currency should indicate, in some way, the Christian character of our nation, which, he argued, could be best done by putting a motto upon our coins expressing a national reliance on Divine support in governmental affairs. It was in 1861, when S. P. Chase was secretary of the treasury, that this man flrst wrote to Washington respecting his pet idea. His letter was referred to Mint Director Pollock, who discussed the question in his report of 1862. Pollock and Chase were in favor of introducing the motto at once, but congress gave the suggestion no attention whatever. In ins next annual report, LHrector ronucK. again referred to the matter, this time in firm theological argument, saying: "The motto suggested, 'God Our Trust,' is taken from our national hymn, 'The Star Spangled Banner the sentiment is familiar to every citizen of our country; the time is propitious; 'tis an hour of national peril. Let us reverently acknowledge His sovereignty, and let our coinage declare our trust in God." A 2 cent bronze piece was authorized by congress to be coined the following year, and on April 22,1864, the first United States coin was stamped with the legend, "In God We Trust." Useful Things About the House.? The best thing in this world is to know how to do things and be williug \o make one's knowledge available. A shelf in the corner of a rather large bare bedroom destitute of a wardrobe is the difference between comfort and discomfort. If it is neatly made, stained and put up, and a pretty curtain, no matter how cheap, bung in front of it, it is a thing of beauty as well as comfort. The power to shape, smooth and put up a shelf is of inestimable value in a home. Two rounded shelves, one large, fitted and clamped, the other small and set above it, for an inkstand, makes a capital writing desk. It is becoming the fashion now to use the corners for cupboards, as in the old times, aud a handy boy or man or girl who knows the use of tools can add immeasurably to the quaint appearance and individuality of the home by adding these corner closets and cupboards; by putting up brass hooks where needed; by acquiring a bracket or a picture; aiding in the acquisition of curtains, or making the cushion for a chair or lounge.?Cor. Homemaker. Read Before Signing.?Among the pithy sayings of a well known German philosopher and reader occurs the following: "Sign no paper without reading it." In these days of education, enlightenment and progress, such a caution would hardly seem necessary to any person in full possession of his faculties; yet it is astonishing how many people there are, including good business men, who attach their signatures to papers or documents whose contents may have a serious bearing upon themselves or their affairs, with scarcely a glance at their contents. Carelessness in failing to acquaint themselves with the contents of a paper before signing it has worked incalculable harm to thousands of well intentioned people. It is a good thing, therefore, to bear in mind continuously the above quotation, paticularly with respect to such papers as express or imply anything in the nature of a contract or a legal obligation. What One Cow Did.?That a cow has a wonderful appetite when she gets into a neighbor's field was clearly shown in Indiana, where the injured owner proved in court that one ordinary bi indie cow destroyed in one afternoon the following property: Two 4-year-old cherry trees, 7 apple trees, 5 pear trees, 1 plum tree, IOC heads of cabbage, 12 rows of beans 5 rods long, 1 row of beets H rods long, 50 to 100 sweet potato plants, 1 bed of onions, 3 grapevines and 14 blackberry bushes.?Boston News. 0ST' A party of young 'women of Fulton, Mo., got up a coon hunting party a few days ago.

English and Northern writers lay great stress on turning under green crops as a means of improving lands. The work is usually done late in the fall. In these climates the soil soon after the plowing is done becomes locked up iu ice, and little chemical change takes place in the soil until the heat of spring melts the ice and warms up the soil itself. As a? result of this, the green vegetable matter buried in the soil in autumn, undergoes little or no decomposition until spring, when the summer crops are ready to appropriate the products of its decomposition. Not so at the South with our mild climate. The soil with us is rarely frozen for any length of time, and then for an inch or two only in depth. Chemical changes in the soil go on more or less all winter, and quite rapidly during October and November. Hence, green stuff plowed under rots in a comparatively short time, and the products of its decomposition are present in the soil long before the summer crops are ready to appropriate them. These products are subject, therefore, to leaching all through the winter and earlv SDrine, when most abun dant rainfalls occur. For this reason the plowing under of green crops in the fall has been almost entirely abandoned at the South, except in those cases where winter grain or grass crops are to occupy the land immediately after the green crops have been plowed under. The practice is becoming well nigh universal to let soiling crops of all kinds, whether pea vines or weeds and grass, remain on the land until towards spring, if the land is not to be occupied by a winter crop. But it is a very poor policy to allow Jand to remain unoccupied through the winter?it will always cause loss of plant food by the leaching of winter rains. Moreover, when we allow land to remain unoccupied through the winter, we miss one of the best opportunities for improving it. If rye is sown upon the land in autumn or early winter, the loss from leaching is prevented, and if turned under in the spring the soil gets a good quantity of vegetable matter, whilst the summer crop that follows gets a goodly supply of readily available food. By all means sow down unoccupied land in rye.?Southern Farm. Shiftless Tricks for the farmer.? To plant more acres than can be taken care of. To work with poor tools, and to sow poor 9eed. To buy at public sales what is not needed, because it sells cheap. It is shiftless to keep poor stock. A poor cow eats as much as a good one. To allow the hogs and sheep to wander at their own sweet will over their owner's and his neighbor's premises. To let the cattle fodder themselves at the haystack. It saves a little labor, but the waste will make their owner poor. To leave tools of any kind lying out in the weather, to put them away uncleaned, or to loan them to shiftless and careless neighbors. To leave tools of any kind lying out in the weather, to put them away uncleaned, or to loan them to shiftless or careless neighbors. To turn the cattle out into the bare fields in cold weather when there is nothing for them to eat there, and they lose flesh shivering in the cold. It is shiftless to allow weeds to occupy any portion of the farm, and very shiftless to allow bushes to occupy several rods of ground along the fence rows. To plant an orchard and then to allow cattle to browse the trees; to leave vacant places in a young orchard; to allow a young orchard to remain in grass. To wade through mud to the barn and out-buildings when good dry paths are so easily made. To pay heavy doctor's bills for wife and children because their feet became wet through lack of good paths. To have no garden and to buy stale vegetables of a huckster. It is nearly as bad as to have a miserable little garden, which the good wife and her girl painfully weed, and secure a few stunted vegetables, when large crops could be had with little trouble, if the garden was cultivated by horse power.?G. G. GrofF, in American Agriculturist. How to Ride a Swimming Horse.?To begin with, it must not be supposed that a horse always swims naturally, and with ease, the moment he is off his feet in the water. The animal, under such circumstances, has but one notion, to keep his head out of the the water, and to lift his shoulders as high possible. In doing this his hind quarters, sink, and he finds himself almost standing upon his tail, or at least in a position three-quarters erect. In such position, if the rider draws upon his reins, or throws his body back in the least the animal's hind quarters will sink more and more, his body will take a vertical position, and, beating the water uselessly with his fore feet, he will finally sink. As soon as the horse gets off his feet in the water, let the rider grasp a handful of the animal's mane, leaning at the same time well forward upon his shoulders, but without touching the horse's head. The rider's knees should be pressed tightly to the horse's sides, otherwise he is likely to be swept oflT by the water. This is the only position which will enable a man to remain in the saddle and the horse to swim at the same time. The reins must be held loosely and each well to one side. If the horse is to be guided in the water give the loose rein a little jerk in the direction desired. But it is in the highest degree important never to pull on the reins.?Revue du Cercle Militairc. Onions as Soporific.?Frank Buckland used to say that he found eating onions at supper the surest help to sound sleep. We used to think this a fancy of his, but we arc reminded of it by reading a statement by an American magistrate, Mr. Clymer, of Reading, Pennsylvania, who says: "Onions inhaled cause sleep, rest and repose. The soldier on his march and the exhausted ironworker get great strength from eating 011-1 ions. Tie a fresh onion around the neck and bruise it to make its odor thorough, and you secure sound sleep from its nightly inhala lion."?i^iirisiiiiu au uuift. Cruelty to Horses.?It is a pity some men could not be made to endure some of the cruelties they practice on horses. If such a brute could be hitched to a wagon, with his eyes blinded, a harsh bit in his mouth, and another man behind him with a rawhide whip, who, when he wishes him to start, gives him a cut, and if he does not increase his speed to suit gives him several, or yanks his jaws with the reins with a force sufficient nearly to break them. Such a dose of his own kind of treatment would, undoubtedly, teach him such a lesson as he would remember. 0ST" Corn will shrink from the time it is husked from the field or shock in the autumn, in well protected cribs, from 20 to 30 per cent., by spring.

MORE than two years ago I commenced to handle the Corbin Disk Harrow and in connection with my first announcement published testimonals as to its value as a farming implement from several of the best farmers in York county. Their statements struck a great many of the farmers who had never used the Corbin Harrow as being absurd, and for the first twelve months my sales were few and far between, not paying expenses of the business. The next season my sales were more than three times as great as the first season, and the sales for the present season, judging by the number of sales since October 1, bid fair to exceed the sales of last season, notwithstanding the fact that the cotton crop is not more than one-third as large as last year, and the price one-third less. This last statement is only made to prove that the farmers have come to realize that tno apparently extravagant statements about the Harrow are absolutely true. of?An/?n?if rnnnmrnnnHflf inn a nf thfi Harrow is its wonderful power as a MONEY SAVER, and this alone should commend it to j every farmer. When it comes to quality and quantity of work there is no comparison between tno Harrow and any other mode known in this section. Below will be found the testimony of several representative and well known farmers. I could furnish several columns of the same sort of evidence, but hardly think it necessary. Read what they say, and bear in mind that the statements they make are mado from a disterested standpoint: Hickory Grove, 8. C., March 23, 1891. Mr. 8am M. Grist, Yorkville, 8. C. : Dear 81 r?I bought a No. 7 Corbln Disk Harrow from you In October, 1889. I was delighted with it the first time I tried It. I now consider It an Indispensable implement on the farm. No farmer who looks after his own interest can afford to be without It. To give an Idea of its value at this time, when every farmer is so far behind with his work, I will say thnt I can take my Harrow, with one hand and four mules, and put 300 to 400 pounds weight on the Harrow, and break eight acrcsof corn-stalk, cotton-stalk or stubble land in one day, and prepare it deeper and better in every way than can oe done with eight mules and eight hands in the ordinary way. fl have a weight box on my Harrow. It Is the length of the beam, and Is 9 Inches wide at the bottom, 11 at the top, and about 10 inches > deep. It is fastened on to the beam with bolts.] Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks, and with the Disk Harrow and two mules, cut up the stalks and pulverized my land to the depth of five Inches at the same operation, and at the rnte of an acrean hour. Wheat and oats can be put in with it much better than in the ordinary way. One hand and two mules Is all that is necessary to put in eight to ten acres a i day. The best prepared land I have ever had was a piece of weed stubble turned in the fall and cut up witn the Corbln Harrow in the spring. In conclusion, let mesaythatthe Harrow thoroughly breaks and pulverizes the land and leaves it in a porous condition. Land that has been pulverized with a Corbln Harrow will not bake. Respectfully, W. 8. Wilkerson. g rover, n. C., July 10,1889. 8am M. Grist, Yorkvllle, 8. C.: Dear Sir:?i have owned a 10-lnch Corbln Disk Harrow for the past four years and have put it to every possible test and it has plven entire satisfaction. I had long felt the need of a harrow that would pulverize the soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, and realized that this could not be done by any urag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and these clods would be worked to the surface in cultivating the crop : and all intelligent formers know that cloddy land does not give the best results. Hence the great importance of a Harrow that will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My Harrow will thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. I want nothing better in stalk land in putting in wheat or oats than the Corbln Harrow, for It not only does better work than a plow, but it is so much Ulster, cutting six feet at a time, and all formers know the importance of saving time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no former who owns a Corbln Harrow would be without it for twice Its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possesses over most improved forming implements is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if he has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have prepared stubble laud for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with the last, as well or better than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might be said about the Corbln Harrow but I think I have said enough to induce formers to inquire into its merits. All who investigate will bo converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover. Yorkville, 8. C., May 15,1890. 8am M. Grist, Yorkvllle, S. C.: Dear Sir?It gives mo pleasure to add my testimony as to the worth of the Corbln Disk Harrow as a forming implement. I have used the Harrow purchased of you last foil for a variety of purposes, and in no single Instance hns it failed to do all that is claimed for it by the manufacturers and by the farmers whose testimony youTiave already published. Last fall I plowed a piece of ground on my place that was covered with weeds, and had also a considerable amount of wlregrass on it, and when the plowing was finished, it was exceedingly rough?in places the furrow would turn for twentyflvc or thirty yards without breaking. I then went to work with the Harrow, and after going over the ground two or three times, I had it in as good condition as an ordinary garden is after being spaded and raked, and I am now cultivctlng this land and it is still soft and mellowand easily worked. I alsoJiroke my cotton stalk land and then pulverized it and cut up the cotion stalks with the Harrow. I find a won derful difference in working land that 1ms been narrowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the better I like it. It Is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next fall, and for two reasons: First, I can sow it better, and, therefore, get better results ; and second, I can do It at about one-flfth the expense and In one-flfth of the time, as compared with the ordinary mode of sowing groin. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbln Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take flvo times the cost of my Harrow for it and do without It. I shall be pleased to give my friends any further Information tney may desire. Respectfully, R. H. Glenn. Yohkville, 8. C., July 8,1880. Ham m. Grist. Yorkvllle, S. C.: DcarHlr:?In reply to your inquiry as to what I think of the value of the Corbln Disk Harrow as a farming implement, I would say that I consider myselt incompetent to do the Implement Justice, but will try to give some Idea of my estimate of its value. I consider the Corbln Disk Harrow to be the most valuable (arming Implement I have ever used, or ever expect to use. There Is no other Implementof which I havcany knowledge that will do as many different kinds of work, or do the work as well. There is no Implement which will do equal service that I have everseen, that Is so simple In construction or which is less liable to get out of order. It Is one of the few improved farming implements which can be used to advantage by tne ordinary negro. The Corbln Harrow will more than pay for itself In one season If given half a chance. I now have on my farm a 10-lnch, 12-dlsk Corbln Harrow, the original price of which was $40. and although the Implement has been In use nearly Ave years, if it was Impossible to get another. I would not take Ave times Its cost for It. In conclusion, let me say that somo of my assertions may sound extravagant to some of my brother farmers who are not familiar with the Corbln Harrow, but I will say to those who may doubt any of my statements, that I will take pleasure In demonstrating the truth of each and every assertion to the entire satisfaction of all who will call at my (arm near town. I hone to see, or hear, at an early day, of a Corbln Harow oeing on the farms of hundreds of farmers In this section. Very respectfully, W. M. Walker. Chester, H. C, March 27,1890. Sam M. Grist, Yorkvllle,S. C.: Dear Sir: I have owned a Corbln Disk Harrow for several years, and consider it the most useful and economical fanning Implement of which I have any knowledge. Mr. Corbln has done more for the farmer than all the politicians, reformers, etc., combined. He has done something practical. No farmer can fall to be benefitted by the use of the Harrow, and the more it is used the greater the benefit or profit. It is almost the only so-called improved farming implement that I linvn nrnr ?nr>ii that, would do all Its manufacturers I claimed for it, and the only one that would do more. Kvery farmer should have one and a man who is able to buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy a Corbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when the Corbin Disk Harrow will be considered as much of a necessity on the farm as the wugon, sewing machine, cooking stove, and I might say, the plow; and the sooner it comes the better for the farmer. It only lakes a farmer, who has been accustomed to the old way of doing things, about one hour to realize how much time and labor ho has literally wasted before he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclusion, let me say that I would not pretend to farm without it. Respectfully, \V. Hoi.mks Hahdin. , I don't know that the genuiness of the above testimonials will be doubted by any person who may read them, but in case anybody should question all or either of them, I will say to such person if you will take it upon yourself to visit cither or all of them and 11 nil that the statements are not those of the alleged writer, I will cheer- , fully pay all your necessary traveling expenses and a reasonable sum for your time. Is this a fair offer ? If you have no Corbin Hcrrow you should have 1 one. You will save money by buying now. SAM M. CI HIST, Sole Agent, Yorkville, S C.
