i ^umotous Department. Resigned.?Many characteristics of the Scotch nation are amusingly displayed in a series of stories published in Edinburg some years ago under the title of "Scotch Folk." "Have you brought any witnesses," asked the Rev. Mr. Wood, of Bathgate, of a middleaged couple who had come to be married. "No, we ne'er thocht o' that. Is it necessary ?" "Oh certainly," said the minister; "you should have a groomsman and bridesmaid as witnesses." "Wha can we get, Jen, do you think ?" TUe bride, tnus aaaresseu, suggest-eu a female cousin whom the bridegroom had neyer seen, and after consultation, a man also was thought of. "Step ye awa' alang, Jen, an ask them, an' I'll walk aboot till ye come back." Jen set out as desired, and after some time returned with the two friends, the cousin being a blooming lass considerably younger than the bride. When the parties had been properly arranged, and the minister was about to proceed with the ceremony, the bridegroom suddenly said: "Wad ye bide a wee, sir?" "What is it now ?" asked the minister. "Weel, I was just gaun to say that if it wad be the same to yo, I wad raither hae that ane," pointing to the bridesmaid. "That's a most extraordinary statement to make at this stage!" exclaimed the minister. "'I'm afraid it is too late to talk of such a thing now." "Is it?" said the bridegroom, in a tone of resignation to the inevitable. "Weel, then, ye maun just gang on." It is not recorded that there was any feeling of elation on the part of the bridesmaid, or of jealousy on the part of the bride, and the ceremony proceeded. if? i Jumping at Conclusions.?Wife (to husband, who 4iad just returned home)? What' the news from town ? Husband?Nothing. "Of course not. Oh, well, there is never any news for a woman unless she finds it out for herelf." 1? 1-.? ? Ua lincKonrl KronVfl pledge." After the crowd had dispersed one of the candidate's friends asked doubtfully: "Aren't you taking a pretty large contract?" "Oh, no," was the prompt reply. "Don't think you are a second Daniel Webster, do you ?" "Certainly not." "Think you can teach some of the old timers their business, I suppose?" "Not at all." "Well, what is your scheme then ?" "Oh, I'll go without socks, or say, 'Where was I at ?' or wear blue overalls on the street and tell people they're good enough for me, or do something of that sort. Don't you worry yourself about me." A certain learned judge, who was immensely stout, having tried many anti-fat remedies to reduce his weight, without any satisfactory result, finally went to some hot springs, and much to his joy, lost considerable adipose tissue, returning home in a most happy frame of mind. He went to market one morning recently, and said to the butcher, "Cut me off twenty pounds of pork." The request was complied with. The judge looked at the meat for some time, and then walked off. "Shall I send the meat to your house, my lord ?" asked the butcher. "Oh, no," was tne reply, "i aont want u. i have fallen off just twenty pounds, and I only wanted to see how much it was." f?*"Mad? Yes, clear through. If I found the fellow that wrote that I'd shoot him." "What is it?a personal attack?" "Worse. Here I've been and put in time in reading one column of the most exciting story I ever got hold of, and just as I reached the end I find this: "He looked calmly into the muzzles of the rifles and drew something from his pocket that he slipped into his mouth. Then he cried, in tones of triumph, " 'Do your worst, for I am safe. I have just taken Gummidge's patent duplex pills. Best thing in the world for sore liver and pneumonia. For sale by all druggists." ^ war One of the homeliest men in Detroit, says The Free Press, has a beautiful little girl about five years old. The other day she was sitting on his lap with a handglass before her. She looked at her father a moment, then looked at herself, and turned to her mother. "Mamma," she inquired, "did God make me?" "Yes, daughter." "Did he make papa, too?" "Yes." Then she took another look in the glass at herself. "Well," she said, thoughtfully, "He's doing a good deal better work lately, isn't he?" I?-At an uptown hotel a few evenings I ago there was a very lively game of poker among a few friends, and a funny incident occurred. There was a big jackpot, and every one was frozen out before the draw except the dealer and one other. They fought hard, and when the call came the other fellow won. "Yes," said the dealer, as he looked at his cards, "that is the winning hand, but I'll be gol durned if I ever gave it to you." W&~ It should be a lesson to all who go stump-speaking not to ask a question and then "pause for a replyand above all, not to express themselves two modestly? even after victory?about their merits. One of the best and most deserving of them did this. He said, doubtless with his hand upon an honest heart: "What have I done that I should have received this honor at your hands ?" And one of the crowd answered : "Nothingwhich would have disconcerted most persons exceedingly. f^" "Yes, Bobby," said young Featherly, "I am going abroad for a litle trip." "Are you goiDg for your health ?" inquired Bobby with solicitude. "Well, not altogether for health, although I shall derive some benefit, no doubt." "Sister Clare hopes you will." "I say, Bobby," whispered Featherly, "did your sister say that she hoped my trip would do me good ?" "Yes; she told me last night that if Mr. Featherly went abroad she hoped he would go for good." Pretty Hard.?In the matter of picturesque expression there is no one to excel a bright Hibernian. A judge was questioning an Irishman, says an exchange. "He took you by the throat and choked you, did he?" asked the judge. "He did, sor," said Pat. "Sure, sor, he squazed me throat till I thought he would make cider out of me Adam's apple." |?~"I think," said a vegetarian once in conversation, "that when a man lives on beef i he becomes something like an ox ; if he eats | mutton he begins to look sheepish, and if he eats pork may he not grow to be swinish ?" "That may be," said his friend, "but when a man lives on nothing but vegetables I think he is apt to be pretty small potatoes." fHisrcUatMUS fleatli?0. COCOA AND CHOCOLATE. The Spaniards, when they first visited Mexico, four centuries ago, found all the natives using chocolate. It was introduced into Europe as early as the year 1520, and has since been more or less extensively used in every civilized country. Linoteus was so fond of it that he gave to the tree from which it was obtained the name of Theobroma?food for the gods. Chocolate and cocoa are only two forms of the same substance. The tree twice a year yields n crop of reddish spongy fruit, shaped somewhat like a cucumber. The ripe fruit being collected at the decline of the moon, the tree continues its yield for twenty or thirty years. Each fruit or pod contains from six to fifty beans, usually about twenty, and there are from ten to twenty pounds of beans from each tree at each crop. The beans are usually about the size of large almonds. They are frequently (from a confusion of language) called indifferently "beans," "seeds," "nuts," "berries," and "fruits," but their character will be better understood by regarding them as beans contained with a dry pod. They are generally picked out and dried for exportation. Besides the beans the pulp contains a creamy and cordial juice, and by steaming and pressing the beans will yield one-third of their weight of a kind of butter to which the richness of cocoa is due. For preparing the beverage material the beans are evaported in their natural state, to be converted into cocoa or chocolate by a manufacturing process. They are first roasted in slowly rotating ovens, then broken by machinery into such a state that the husks may be separated from the kernels by a blast of air, and they are afterward treated and beaten and converted into a pulp by means of their oil. The pulp, when it has been ground between millstones till it assumes a consistency something like that of treacle, is in a state to receive any of the modifications that will fit it for the market. It may be "plain cocoa," or "homcepathic * 1 ' " T*. L-..? cocoa," or "vanuia cnocoiaie." it may novo arrowroot, or sago, or sugar mixed with it; or, if the manufactures be tinctured with roguery, there may perchance, be beanmeal or other adulterants mixed with the pulp. The pulp, when fully prepared in any of these diverse ways, is cast into large moulds; the cakes thus produced are cut into minute shreds by machine, and the shreds are rubbed, sifted, and packed for sale. The preparations of cocoa and chocolate made in France are more numerous than those usually made in England or the United States. They comprise vanilla and milk chocolate, chocolate bonbons and papillotes, chocolate crackers and pastilles, chocolate with taraxacum or with sarsaparilla, chocolate with tar?in short there is no end to the list, for once admit the principal of mixing cocoa with vegetable infusions or decoctions or essences and the variety becomes interminable. The French limit themselves to the use of the word "chocolate," derived l'rom the Mexican name of the plant, chocolati. You will seldom or % ever hear them speak of cocoa. What are called "cocoa nibs" are the beans roughly crushed. "Flake cocoa" also another name for the beans when crushed between rollers, but before anything else has been added to them. The husk of the seed after roasting containing a good deal of nutriment ; so do the pods likewise, and all three are more or less used in making cheap cocoa. The plant is certainly used in more ways than coffee?drank as a thick decoction (made to somewhat resemble gruel), made into various confections and pastries, eaten as bonbons, and so forth?while a poor decoction is drank in some place by boiling the husks separated from the beans. While cocoa and chocolate contain an essential principle, theobromine, comparable to caffeine and theine?the alkaloids of tea and coffee?much less potent as a disturber of the nervous system ; and chocolate and cocoa are proportionally more welcome as a beverage, besides possessing special nutritive qualities, which render them much more sustaing than tea. B6T" The island of Juan Fernandez, on which was founded the story of Robinson Crusoe, is not now the forlorn place it was when Crusoe and his man Friday watched daily for a sail in the long ago only to be disappointed. On the island nature has been lavish in supplying everything necessary to sustain life without labor. There are about one hundred residents on Juan Fernandez, mostly German and Chilian ranchmen and their families; for some years ago the island was leased to a rich cat tie company, who have now as many as thirty thousand head of horned cattle and twice as many sheep, grazing in the narrow valleys and on the green foothills. The cottages of the colonists are mostly within sight of the lauding, set in the midst of orchards on the side of a hill sloping down to the sea, and the oppressive silence of Selkirk's time has given place to the bleating and lowing of flocks and herds, the merry shouts of children and sounds of human activity. Wild grape vines and fig trees, bearing excellent fruit, flourish on the slopes, and there are many natural orchards grown from seeds planted a century ago by Selkirk and other mariners. Besides peaches, apricots, pears, quinces and other fruits common to temperate climates, and the chuta is everywhere?a species of palm which produces a delicious berry, and among an endless variety of indigenous trees are pimento (pepper), sandal, corkwood and myrtle. Lincoln's Prophecy.?The prophecy of President Lincoln, made by him in a private letter to a friend in Illinois, has been frequently quoted, but cannot be too frequently read and pondered over. He said : "Yes, we may all congratulate ourselves that the cruel war is nearing a close. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. The best blood of the flower of American youth has been freely offered on our country's altar that the nation might live. It has, indeed been a trying hour for the republic, but I see in the near futuse a crisis arising that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless." Origin of Yankee.?There are comparatively few people who know the origin or meaning of the term "Yankee," by which we are accustomed more or less affectionately to designate our American cousins born in the United States. When the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock, the friendly Indians asked of what people they were; to which query they replied "English." But the red men got it "Yeugees," which soon became transformed into "Yankees." The people of the Southern States call northerners, both east and west, "Yankees," as will be remembered by those familiar with the Civil war. The people of the Western States call all those living in the Eastern States, or east of the Hudson river, "Yankees," and these are the only people who acknowledge the name and also thus describe themselves. On the other hand, all the English colonists, and the people of Great Britain invariably call all citizens of the United States "Yankees," and when abroad they cheerfully accept and are generally proud of the title, which as we have seen, means and is only a corruption of English. Charging a 110-Ton Gi n.?There are nine 110-ton guns in the British Navy at the present time. The projectile fired from these guns when attacking ships or forts weighs exactly 1,800 pounds and leaves the muzzle with a velocity of 2,105 feet per second, and has a destructive energy equal to 55,305 foot tons. When these monster engines of death are to be turned upon an army of men or a flotilla of ships they are loaded with cylinders of steel, each of which is filled with 2,300 four-ounce bullets. The amount of powder used behind such projectiles is something enormous?nine hundred and sixty pounds to each charge. fiST One-half the wealth of England is in possession of 1,000 individuals. ?ltc Jam Mil |iwsidc. WELL AND ILL-TRAINED HORSES. 0 It is a good deal easier to prevent a horse ^o or a colt from forming a bad habit than to ? break him after it has been formed. And, as far as our observations goes, it is much ? better for the animal and a great deal more Gc satisfactory for the owner. This applies to ? a large class of habits which are liable to be ro" formed, and which cause a large amount of ? mischief. Among these habits is that of y? running away?one of the worst habits a e^8 horse can have, for it imperils not only the 0 persons using him, but is liable to endanger soi the lives of many others who may chance to an be in his path. With proper care and hand- ji ling from its earliest days, the horse may be tin so trained that he will stay where he is left 26 till his master is ready to take him elsewhere. ^ He can also be accustomed to noise and to un -1 ? - "V, in '1 Afirtnuanrmc fVlof. ll O Will I UUUSUIU SI^UUJ auu ui/kuituvvf) vuuv ..v ..... pj-( not be likely to frighten at anything that a may happen.

" i cm mixture in it. 1 nis mixture win De suiuuieut -for several hogs for one year. c? Objectors will say, I have tried everything, ^0 and if the disease is going to come it will ? come; I think this remedy is not better than bo what I have used. kh It is quite certain that there is more dan- in ger of hog cholera now, than at any previ- 8 ous time, and it is to the interest of every wc man to carefully labor to prevent the disease jui from destroying his hogs. It is not sufficient thi to mix a peck of salt and some ashes and g give to the hogs and pay no more attention f0l to them for a month. In order to test the wj remedy, the directions must be followed, an which are to keep a supply of the mixture ^ always within the reach of the hogs, not one re( day in the month, but every day. qc It will not prevent the hogs from taking an the disease if they are allowed to come in contact with diseased hogs or are permitted * to eat hogs that have died from the disease, f and may not cure it. Farmers, try this hog y cholera preventative; it is cheap; it is practicable. ? , m . coi Kindness to Milch Cows.?One of the greatest errors in evercoming cows that are unquiet while being milked, is to whip, beat ? and kick and bawl at them. This is gener- Pe ally done; and the cow becomes afraid and bk angry, and, instead of becoming better, i?5 grows worse. They dislike to be milked; for they know that loud words and blows 0 always attend the operation. They dread col to see the milker as the little urchin dreads rai to see a birchen rod in the hands of an angry in' pedagogue, when he expects so have it ap- am plied to his back. A cow, kindly and pro- gj perly treated, is pleased to see the milker, inc glady waits his or her approach, and sub- Ad mits with pleasure to the operation of being fac milked. for Every one having experience with cows $ knows this to be true. But the cow is op- jst posed to a change of milkers; she soon be- \yj comes attached to one person who performs jn the operation, and does not freely and will- ec ingly give down her milk to another person, ~ Therefore, have one milker to certain cows. and bear in mind if you change milkers it is at the expense of a loss of milk and of injury ' to the cow. All animals appreciate kind treatment and resent abuse. See that those who ? milk them control themselves, govern their ne< passion, speak low and kindly under almost e" any provocation; and soon the cows will learn that they are not going to be abused, and will submit to the operation.?Ohio Si Farmer. vid ' ' cit Nitrate of Soda.?No manure that I th< have ever seen used, not even cow manure, coi in which I have great faith, has produced ? such immediate effect in the growth, vigor coi and full color of foliage. Mr. J. J.

But he recommends it fac to be used in conjunction with ordinary ma- up nures. He says: "It may be stated that ni- C0I trate of soda is not regarded as a substitute tj1( for other manures. Taking horticulture as we find it, we recommend nitrate of soda as the cheapest and best form in which to ap- . ply nitrogen to plants. To those who are using ordinary stable manure we say, continue to use it, but use nitrate of soda in v addition."?W. Watson in Garden and Forest. ? gri Sweet Oil for Poison.?a farmer mu writes : It is now over twenty years since I ion heard that sweet oil would cure the bite of a ide rattlesnake, not knowing that it would cure at other kinds of poison. Practice and experi- & ence have taught me that it will cure poison of of anykind, both on man and beast.

You may \ * tell your readers that a solution of nitrate of]. silver, 20 grains to an ounce of pure water, i ' applied to the head of a sick fowl several I n? times, will cure.
