"Cyan't miss dem, ma'am." "You won't let any one see you?" "No, ma'am." "The major is sitting in that car." "He won't see me, ma'am." , "Wei, here is the key." The porter took the key and passed through to the next car. "Guess dis am it," he said, slipping the thin key in the lock of a yellow satchel. He put his hand in tne satchel and pulled out a bunch of hair. Then he relocked the satchel. "Heah's yo* frizzez, ma'am." "Don't speak so loud." "Anything else, ma'am?" "That's all, I believe. I just have a minute w put luem uu uciuie uumci. The porter reached the platform In time to meet an irate tragedian. "Not a step!" he thundered, in tones that almost lifted the porter's cap. "What have you done with my whiskers, boy?" "Your whiskers, sah?" "Yes, my false beard. The passengers say you opened my satchel with a false key. Where are those whiskers'?' "Laws!" muttered the porter. "Ah went in the wrong satchel." Just then a lady passed toward the dining car. "Dah's yo' whiskers, sah!" grinned the porter. "On top ob dat lady's haid." There Was a Man In the House.? The other evening as a muscular person was passing a house, a lady, who stood at the gate, called out to him: "Sir, I appeal to you for protection." "What is the matter?" he asked, as he stopped short. "There's a man in the house, and he wont go go out of doors, though I have ordered him to." "He won't, eh? We'll see about that." Thereupon the man gave the woman his coat to hold and sailed into the house. He found a man at the suDDer table and took him by the neck and remarked: "Nice style of brute you are, eh? Come out of this, or I'll break ev#y bone In your body!" The man fought, and it was not until a chair had been broken and the table upset that he was hauled out of doors by the legs and given a fling through the gates. "Now, then, you brass-faced old tramp, you move on, or I'll finish you!" "Tramp! Tramp!' shouted the victim as he got up. "I'm no tramp. I own this property, and live in the house!" "You do?" "Yes, that's my wife holding' your coat." "Thunder!" whispered the muscular man as he gazed from one to the other and realized that it was the wife's method of finishing a row she had been having with her husband. And then he made a grab for his coat and disappeared into the darkness.?London TitBits. Credit.?Embarrassed dealer in a Boston wholesale grocery: "I would like to make a settlement." "How much can you pay?" "Seventy-five cents." "Very well," sa4d Wholesale, "we will close the account." "I suppose you will continue to le't me have goods?" said Retail. "Not a dollar's worth," responded Wholesale, and the former, discouraged, dropped into a chair. Embarrassed retailer No. 2 stepped to the desk and wanted to settle. "How much do you offer?" "Five cents." "All right," said the unembarrassed Wholesale. "Can I have any more goods?" "All you want." Retail No. 1, rising: how is inisr 1 propose paying you 75 cents on the dollar, and you refuse me credit. This man offers you only 5 cents, and you will trust him with all he wants." "My dear sir!" exclaimed Wholesale, "you are paying too much. You won't have any capital left with which to commence business again." Whereupon the creditless retailer went his way, wondering who originated the proverb, "Honesty is the best policy."?New York Observer. Not What She Expected.?What was the happiest moment of your life?" asked the sentimental maiden. "Why do you ask?" Inquired the practical matron. "Oh, I have a theory," replied the sentimental maiden, 'that practically the same causes contribute to the happiest moment in every woman's life. I know how it is in my own case. Last evening Arthur told me . But first tell me about the happiest moment in yours.' 'Well," replied the matron thoughtfully, 'I think the happiest moment in my life was about two years ago. I had been without a girl for three weeks and was just about discouraged when one applied for the place. That made me reasonably happy; but when she said she didn't object to children, wanted only one evening out of a week, and was willing to do the washing, whywell, that was the happiest moment of my life."?Chicago Post. Swagger Enough for One.?A wellknown Scottish laird, who is pompous in manner and never forgets that he Is a laird, was the other day walking up and down the Dundee platform of the Perth general station just before taking his seat in the train. At that moment a hot and perspiring countryman rushed onto the platform and said to the laird; "Is this the Dundee train?" The laird coldly remarked: "I am not the station master." "The other man at once retorted: "Then, confound ye, sir, what for dae ye swagger aboot there as if ye were?" Begins all Right.?Coming in on the train the other day was a family with a nervous little mother and a flock of children. As we neared Boston the mother began to question if everything was all right. "Have you got all the umbrellas, Johnny?" "I should say I had. I had four when I started, and now I've got six."?Boston Beacon. r-ft" One of the favorite tstories out in the short grass country of Kansas right now, is that of the teacher who asked her pupils what an anecdote was, and the answer being a "short, funny tale," told a small boy to write a sentence containing the word.

It is fixed on the head of an arrow, and shot with a bow at the animal to be branded with such force that it cuts the mark in the hide.

He must make it himself, is the opinion of an acute agriculturist. t5T The sheriffs of London annually pay into the British exchequer six horseshoes with the proper number of nails, as rent for a piece of ground in the parish of St. Clement. In 1234 this land was rented from the crown by a blacksmith to build a shop on and afterward the property came into the hands of the city corporation at the same rental. The horseshoes and nails have been annually paid ever since the year mentioned. Jarrn and fireside. TRAINING BOYS. Boys must be trained for the farm as well as for other professions. The reason we have so many poor farmers Is simply because boys were not trained for tne farm. The old rule was, if a farmer had three sons, two bright and one dull, he would educate the two- bright boys for professions and would say, "This dull boy Is not fit for anything but a farmer." Now, there Is where a great mistake has been made, as it requires more actual intelligence and better education to be a successful farmer than for any other profession. Boys must be taught to love the farm and farm work. This can be easily done, provided we can show our boys that farming pays. As soon as boys will see that they can earn more money and have finer clothes in other professions they will leave the farm. It is the duty of every farmer to make V*.mw in/lnnfrtr Kv nnnrtrv tanning pay?uy muuouj, uj by study of special conditions and especially by practical economy. Farmers should not waste time, labor or money. This should be taught to the boys by example. Waste of time makes want. The farmer who takes his boys and goes out hunting or fishing when the crops need his care, will want the time to care for them and will want the profits that come from care. There is no waste as fateful as that of time. Time means money, because it means labor. It frequently happens when boys become of age that the father will say: "I can't afford to pay you much; you may go elsewhere." Now, this is all wrong. The farmer should so manage his farm that he can afford to give his boys more salary than they can get in any other profession. Every farmer must be wide awake and must show his boys by example that he is wide awake. "Make hay while the sun shines," is a farmer's proverb and it is far-reaching in its application. It means that "delay is dangerous;" that the loss of a day's work when the time is right may spoil a season's work. If the grain overripens, if the stock suffers for food, water or care, if he's loafing around stores, hotels and saloons when he should be planting, or pleasuring when he should be hoeing, he may be sure that such neglect will bring results common to all neglect of business. Keep the farm up. Keep the fences up. Keep the stock up. Stick to the farm. First make a living for those who depend on the farm. Make it a good living. Then look at the marketing of surplus produce. Show your boys that you are in earnest. Be systematic. Stop the leaks. The little savings may make the difference between profit and loss. THE ART OF ENTERTAINING. The house itself may be helped in making visitors feel at home. We should have nothing too fine for comfort, and welcome our friends in rooms made homelike by our daily use. No hostess apologizes for any guest. All are on the same social plane while under her roof, and should receive equal consideration. It is a disputed point whether host or guest should suggest retiring for the night. It relieves visitors of embarrassment to know the ways of the household, and a readiness to comply with them is a mark of politeness. It shows no lack of cordiality to refrain from urging friends to extend their visit. They probably have other pleasant plans, and the hostess may be asking a great favor When she fancies she is conferring one. Experienced entertainers recommend that the men should generally spend their mornings together, and women enjoy ea>ch other's society. All meet at luncheon. Hosts and guests meet in the drawing or living rooms before the meals. Not less than five nor more than fifteen minutes should be allowed for all to assemble. Every guest should be made to feel that his or her presence has added to the pleasure of the entertainment, and conferred a personal gratification upon the hosts. A prompt expression of gratification In remembering the visit at once, upon returning home, is an evidence of good breeding. A guest should hold sacred anything that may be learned of the family life or the peculiarities of any member of the household where hospitality has been accepted. Visitors should fall in readily with any plan proposed for their pleasure, showing a disposition to be easily amused and interested; but must not seem dependent for amusement.?Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in the September Ladies' Home Journal. MANY USES FOR EGGS. The uses to which eggs may be put are many, aside from their employment in cooking. A mustard plaster made with the white of an egg will not leave a blister. White of an egg beaten with loaf sugar and lemon relieves hoarseness? a teaspoonful taken every hour. An egg added to the morning cup of coffee makes a good tonic. A raw egg with the yolk unbroken, taken in a glass of wine, is beneficial for convalescents. It is said that a raw egg If swallowed at once when a fish bone is caught in the throat beyond the reach of the fingers, will dislodge the bone and carry it down. < The white of an egg turned over a burn or scald is most soothing and cooling. It can be applied quickly, and will prevent inflamation, besides re lieving the stinging pain. One of the best remedies in case of bowel trouble is a partly beaten raw egg taken at one swallow. It is healing to the inflamed stomach and intestines, and will relieve the feeling of distress. Four eggs taken in this manner in 24 hours will form the best kind of nourishment as well as medicine for the patient. A raw egg is one of the most nutritious of foods, and may be taken very easily if the yolk is not broken. A little nutmeg grated upon the egg, a few drops of lemon juice sprinkled over it, or some salt and a dash of cayenne pepper, vary the flavor, and tend to make it more palatable when taken as a medicine. The white of a raw egg is the most satisfactory of pastes, and is better than any prepared mucilage or paste one can buy. Papers intended to be put over tumblers of jelly and jam will hold very securely and be air-tight if dipped in the white of an egg.
