, Humorous fjepartmcnt. A NEW KIND OF ELEPHANT. A Russian princess whom I used to know in St. Petersburg once confided to me that she had learned English (which she spoke extremely well) solely for the purpose of being able to read Lady Audley's Secret in the original, evidently supposing it. to be one of our great national classics. I could not help asking her reproachfully whether she had ever heard of an obscure person called William Shakespeare, and was somewhat dismayed to hear her answer that she admired him very much, and had always wondered how so great a poet could have been born in such a country as Scotland. And I had hardly recovered from this shock when I was again overwhelmed by hearing of a Russian country gentleman who had ordered a copy of Ivanhoe under the title of "Ivan's Hoe," believing it to be a work on Russian agriculture! But even tnese queer misiaaes were mr surpassed not long ago by a Russian general of inore energy than education, who, when in charge of the local military trans-1 port of a remote district in the south of Central A9ia, not far from the border of Afghanistan, began to consider the feasibility of employing elephants instead of horses or camels. He consulted an expert, and was rather startled to hear the latter rate the animal's food and its probable cost at a figure which seemed to him extravagantly high. uHe must be joking," whispered the general to his secretary. "Surely one elephant couldn't eat all that!" "May it please your Excellency," answered the secretary (who was as full of learning as the general was devoid of it, and never lost a chance of dragging in a fine word), "it is a hyperbole." The word "hyperbole" was far beyond the comprehension of the worthy general; but he would rather have died than to admit as much, and he rose to the emergency. "Ah! it's a hyperbole is it?" said he, looking as knowing as he could. "Well, that, of course alters the matter; i dare say a hyperbole might be able to eat that amount, but I am sure an ordinary elephant couldn't." "Total Indifference."?"Tom Sheridan," the brilliant son of a more brilliant father, had an uncle whose society he much fHkft mmaIa ?vKa nrofi alronHpol LCU?

Among the things of doubtful advantage to a boy, which Tom acquired from the uncle, was the habit of indulging in metaphysical discussions; and he thus picked up certain theories and difficulties with which he used to puzzle his father. The lift of Sheridan, senior, was not a mral one. He drank to 'excess, and he ran In debt to support his extravagant style of living. But he disliked skeptical notions, and held to orthodox ideas in philosophy and religion. Tom one day tried to engage his father in a discussion of the doctrine of necessity. "Father," said he, did you ever do anything, in a state of perfect indifference; without motive, I mean, of some kind or other ?" Sheridan, who knew what was coming, and didn't relish such discussions, answered, "Yes, certainly." , "What? Total indifference?entire', thorough indifference ?" "Yes, total, entire, thorough indifference." "Then, tell me," persisted Tom, "what it is you can do with total indifference?"

His father, thinking it an imprudent act, threatened "to cut him off with a shilling." "You haven^t got it about you, have you, sir ?" answered Tom, knowing his father's impecuniosity. + He Was Wrong.?"Can I speak to you a moment ?" he said softly, as ho called the chief clerk in the postofficeto the window the other day. "Certainly." "Thanks. I didn't know but you were busy. Two months ago I came here and asked for a letter. Remember it ?" "I do not." "Probably not, as you are always busy. I didn't get any. I gave it as my opinion " that some of you had stolen it. Remember?" "No." "Probably not, but.1 spoke very emphatically. That was my opinion, and I went away feeling very much hurt. Remember?" "No." "Probably not, as I am of no great consequence. I now desire to ask your pardon. Will you forgive me ?" <4Of course."? "Thanks. I believed you would. You see. I exDected a letter from my aunt. Nonec&me. She couldn't write one. She was dead. See? Therefore, how could I get one? I take it back. I apologize. I was wrong. Shake." "That's all right." "Thanks. I'll never do it again. This is an honest postoflice. I was wrong. Good-bye." Unconvinced.?Many and strange are the innocent sophistries of childhood in gaining its point. How quickly they learn even to distrust the evidences of their senses ! A little girl who was addicted to a prodigal use of sugar upon her oatmeal, had been put upon an allowance of a reasonable number of spoonfuls One morning she had been given the specified quantity, but presently asked, "Mamma, may I have just one spoonful more ?" "No, dear." By-and-by some one noticed that the little girl was sitting sulkily before her untested plate, and inquired, "Why don't you eat your oatmeal, Kitty ?" "I can't; it isn't sweet enough." "Nonesense!" said mamma. "Don't be a little fuss-budget. Try a spoonful, and you'll like it." "But if you only knew how sour it is!" said Kitty, tragically. Mamma good-naturedly took a spoonful. "Eat it immediately, dear," she said, with decision. "It tastes quite sweet enough." Kitty obediently took up her spoon, but she had one more remark to make: "It may tasle sweet," she said, resignedly, "but, mamma, it isn't sweet." Frightened.?Very thin as well as very portly men are sometimes placed in embarrassing positions by their excess or lack of flesh. A physician living in the northern part of the city, says the Philadelphia Call, is noted for his extreme thinness, which is made more apparent' by his height of six feet four inches. Several days ago, during his absence, a match boy called at his house, was ad mittecl, taken into the back office, ana tne doctor's wife bought some of his stoc?. The money was in a closet in company with an articulated skeleton, which was disclosed as soon as the door was opened. The boy took one look at the grinning horror, and fled from the- house, leaving both money and matches. This was related to the doctor, and several days afterwards the same boy was seen passing the house. On the doctor's attention being called to the fact, he went to the door and beckoned the lad to come to him. Holding his fingers to his nose in a very expressive but vulgar manner, the match boy shouted out: Not mach, you big old skelington! I knows yer, even if you has got on yer clothes!" Frank.?"Physician, heal thyself," is a maxim the neglect of which inevitably exposes physic to ridicule. When one goes to purchase a* hair-restorer, and finds the vender thereof bald, his faith receives a severe shock, and, if he is sensible, he does not buy that nostrum. A true story is told of an old New Hampshire doctor, who was one day consulted by a man suffering from rheumatism. The physician gave him copious advice, and ended with directions so concisely put as to be easily memorized. "Avoid dampness," he said. "Yes, sir." "Keep warm; keep your feet dry, and remember what I have said about flannels." "Yes, sir." "Take the medicine with absolute regularity. Here is the prescription." The man expressed his thanks, paid his fee and took his leave. As he reached the door the doctor called, "Oh, by the way, if any of these things help you, just give me a call and tell me. I've had rheumatism for over twenty years and nothing has ever helped me yet. Good-morning." "Yes," said the small boy of the Latin class, "yes, luspus may be the Latin tor slip in a book, but when mother laps us, it means a slipper." r Ihc |,irm and fireside. ] VALUE OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF MEAT FOOD. Fowl..-?There is no bird that may not be eaten in ease of necessity. In other words, the flesh of no bird is in itself poisonous. The same is true of the eggs of all birds. It is true cases of poisoning from eating quails during spring have occurred; but the poisoning was due to the buds of the mountain laurel, upon which the birds fed. The flesh of carnivorous birds is strong in odor and in taste, and would not form a tempting dish, save to one threatened with starvation. The light meats of birds are more easily digested, less rich in nitrogen | and in flavor than dark meats. Chicken broth is tnore nutritious than that made { from either muttorfVjr beef, and is often of great value to the sick. Fish.?Undoubtedly the flesh of some fish is poisonous. A fish is said to justify suspicion when it has attained a size unusual for one of its species. This popular idea may have a grain of truth in it. Fish ; should be discarded if the water in which [ it is being boiled blackens silver. The coloration is due to hydrogen sulphide (the gas of bad eggs), and indicates putrefactive changes. Decomposing fish has a pale look, and its befly is bluish. It is withered, sticky to the touch, and foul in odor. The seller sometimes tries to hide the evidence of decomposition by taking the eye-balis out and coloring the gills with biood. t Fish caught from putrid water should not be eaten. Sometimes, near large manufacturing establishments where a great deal of refuse is thrown into the water, the fish are killed, and may be brought to market. The flesh of such fish is yellowish, soft, spongy, and of foul odor. Fish, may be divided into those furnishing white and those furnishing red meats. Those of the former class, as the whitefish, are delicate and easy of digestion, while those of the second class are richer in nitrogen and more stimulating. Fish should not be left in the water after they are dead, but should be packed in ice. Fish should not be the chief flesh diet of a people, because it is not sufficiently stimulating. Indeed, it is doubtful if any class of people would voluntarily confine themselves to such food. But the occasional use of fish forms a change which is both agreeable and beneficial. There is no truth in the popular idea that fish diet is especially suited to the development of the brain and nervous system. Along with fish are often classed certain crustaceans, as the crab and lobster, aud certain mollusks, as the oyster and mussel. The oyster and mussel are gelatinous, but are easily masticated and digested. The lobster, crayfish, and crab are more muscular, and somewhat more difficult of mastication and digestion. The nutritive value of the oyster is not very great, but its delicacy of flavor and ease of digestion make it of great value to all, and especially to the sick. The raw oyster Is probably more easily digested than the cooked. The crab and lobster are of considerable nutritive value, though, on accountof price, they are used principally as delicacies. BUTTERMILK A CURE FUR DYSPEPSIA. The writer of this article took the pains to look up the man who claimed so much - l TT_ 1 lor UUlltJrmilK. I1C [II'UYCU %AJ uc Ck uvwu D. D., and a hard working editor in New York city. He told roe that the buttermilk had done wonders for him. He drank from two to four quarts every day. Occasionally he ate a small piece of dry bread. Nothing else passed his lips except the buttermilk. At the end of the first week the inflammation of hisstomach subsided and for the first time in many months he slept all night. At the end of the fourth week he considered himself well, though he continued to drink some buttermilk every day. He told me that while on the buttermilk diet he was at his desk every day and did not lose a pound. To avoid temptation he kept away from the table. He also stated that his physiciau informed him that he had cured a large number of dyspeptics with the same prescription after everything! else had failed. Other physicians of his acquaintance had resorted to the same "heroic" treatment with like results. He mentioned the fact that a number of prominent physicians in Brooklyn had put their patients who were troubled with a low fever every day (occasioned mostly by weak stomachs) on the buttermilk diet with splendid results. Since the above conversation I have heard of a number of dyspeptics who have been helped and cured on the same line. I have tried it myself and speak with confidence. Patients who have excess of acid in their systems may not be benefitted by their use, but the great majority who are troubled with ordinary 1? I'"am a r?/l /lAAuonnont uyspepsm, LUipiU Jivci, auu wuocijucui "biliousness" will be greatly helped if not cured. The philosophy is simple. While buttermilk is inferior to skimmed milk in nutritive properties, it is still a valuable article of food. It is already soured and in a partially digested condition so that the stomach has little to do in taking care of it. Besides this it furnishes its own "juices" in a larger measure so that the digestive apparatus is excused from much of the trouble. In a word, the lactic acid seems to meet a want. As a food and medicine it is within the reach of all. Posts and Raids.?The weakest board or rail determines the strength of the fence. Land in a square can be inclosed with less fence than an equal area in other form bounded by straight lines. The animals will certainly find the weak spots; but It is bad policy to have them snow you where those spots are. The width of the fence row is a large item in the cost of fencing; even more important is what the fence row grows. Crops would suffer less from many a noxious insect or animal and its progeny, were it not for the shelter of the hedge, or of the rubbish of the fence row. As the posts are the foundation of the fence, unless they are deeply and solidly set, good material and fine workmanship in the superstructure count for little. Where the law is founded on the good sense to require a man to restrain only his own animals, instead of all the world's from his fields, much less fencing is required. As fencing is one of the most considerable items of the farm expense, it is fruitful economy to make the fields of that size and 3hape which will require least fencing. As the length of the field is increased at the expense of its breadth, more fence is required ; but for this there may be compensation in the greater ease of cultivation. The Heresy of Sour Swill.?One of the most pestilent heresies we know of among farmers is the tradition that swill, whether of milk or ground feed, or soaked corn, should be soured before feeding. We do not know how this tradition originated or by what means it retains its hold. Acids, to a moderate extent, have their use in the animal economy. Occasionally people like pickles, yet no one cares to use them as a regular diet. A very mild acid, such as that furnished by fruits, meets the wants of the system in hot weather, yet no one cares to make a full meal even of these. Nature feeds the milk to all the young, sweet aud warm. Why then should the farmer fill the pig's stomach with sour milk? Viewing it in a sensible and practical way, what good comes from this souring process. Does it add any new elements to the food? Certainly not. Take milk, for instance: overeignty pares 01 it is wnter, four fat and the rest casein and sugar of milk. After the fat is removed all that has any value is the casein and sugar of milk. The souring process converts the sugar of ruilk into lactic acid, which, however valuable as a corrective of an excessive corn diet, has no food value.?Western Farm Journal. Ants in tiie Closet.?The best ant-1 trap is an ordinary dinner-plate, the interior of which, all below the rim, is smeared with lard. Lay cards or a few sticks from the shelf to the edge of the plate, to afford a bridge upon which the insects can pass up to the inside of the plate and reach j the lard, of which they are very fond. Of j course this trap will only succeed where j the temperature will keep the lard soft and adhesive. From time to time scald out the plates, apply fresh lard, and set them anew. To sprinkle the shelves well with slaked lime will drive away insects. And the free use of borax is good, especially against the encroachments of cock-roaches. 1^* Mr. Vick is quoted as saying that the "white worm," or any other worm, in pots, may be destroyed by sticking three or four common matches down into the soil, also one or two up in the drain opening. The phosphorous on the match is certair death to animal life, and a jwiwerful fertilizer for plants. Wagsidc Gatherings. BQT Too much help has ruined more men than too little.

PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS. J The Winnsboro News and Herald pubi lishes tlie following information concerning the Pea body scholarships in the Normal Training Schools at Nashville, Teun. Ten of these scholarships are allotted to South Carolina. The scholarships are awarded on competrtive examination, and persons who desire to compete for them should make application us early us June 1st to the State superintendentof education, who will forward information as to the time and place of examination : The intent of the Peabody board of trust in establishing these scholarships in the Normal college, is to affect public education in the South through a high grade/if professionally educated teachers. A Peabody scholarship is worth $200 a year, and is good for two years. The college year consists of eight months, beginning on the lirst Wednesday iu October and closingon the last Wednesday in May; and scholarship students receive from the nrHMident of the college $2"> at the end of each of these eight months. For the purpose of securing to all applicants n uniform basis of competition, the questions for examination will be prepared by the president of the college and sent to the .State superintendent for distribution to the examiners whom they may appoint. The qualifications for becoming a competitor for a scholarship are as follows: The applicant must not be less than seventeen years of age, nor more than thirty ; of irreproachable moral character; good health; no physical defects, habits, or eccentricities, which would interfere with success in teaching; a purpose to follow teaching us avocation. The task of the examiners will be simplified by making a preliminary examination as suggested above. If it should appear that a candidate intends to use his scholarship chiefly as a means of securing an education, or of ultimately preparing himself for some profession other than teaching, he should not be allowed to compete. Persons of sluggish or indolent temperaments, of slovenly habits, or of vicious disposition, should be at once rejected. When a choice must be made between a young man and a young woman whose examination papers are of equal merit, the young man should be preferred. The minimum literary {jualifications for securing a scholarship are the following: The ability to read fluently, to write a fair hand, to spell correctly, to express thoughts in grammatical English; to solve problems of moderate difficulty under all the ordinary rules of arithmetic, and to demonstrate any ordinary arithmetical principles; to locate the principal cities, rivers and mountains of the world; and to give the boundaries of any specified State of the Union; ,to parse the words of any ordinary English sentence, and to correct ungrammatical English ; to solve equations of two unknown quantities; to describe the leading events in the history of the United States, In the main the examinations should he written. hut certain intellectual nuali I ties can best be tested in the oral way. The ability to think and to reason is of more importance than mere attainment of facts and rules. General intelligence and brightness may offset some deficiencies in mere book learning. Good breeding, politeness and a pleasant manner, should lie counted in a candidate's favor. Applicants must give a pledge to remain at the college two years, if the scholarship is continued so long, proitiise to submit cheerfully to all its requirements in study, discipline, etc., and to teach in the public schools of his or her own -State at least two years, if there is opportunity. The applicant must obtain from the State superintendent of public instruction for his Sate a certificate that he has passed a satisfactory examination before said superintendent, or other competent person duly authorized, in the studies required for admission to the second or "middleclass" at the college, viz.: in spelling, reading, penmanship, grammar and analysis, geography (civil and physical), arithmetic, algebra, United States history. No particular text books are prescribed for this examination. The candidate should give evidenco of such knowledge of the above branches as would justify omitting their further study. Students will also be examined at the college with reference to their classification, etc. Gentlemen or ladies thus admitted who complete the prescribed course of study and training satisfactorily graduate regularly, and receive from the proper authorites a diploma, admitting them to the de-. gree of "Licentiate of Instruction." The Peabody scholarship money will not be paid until the student has been a member of the college one month, of which time, and at the close of each succeeding month, $25 will be paid to an amount not exceeding$200 for the year; no payment will be made for the fraction of a month. It is expected that this money will be appropriated by the student to the payment of board and other college expenses first of all; and no certificate or diploma will be granted to any student known to be in ar rears in these respects. These scholarships will in no case be continued to students whose rauk or standing is low, whose general demeanor is objectionable, who do not give promise of usefulness as teachers, or whose health or other circumstances prevent ccnstant attendance on or performance of college duties. Students failiug to complete their course of study according to the conditions prescribed, or to teach after graduating, are required to refund the amount of money they have received from the "Peabody Education Fund" to the president of the college. Gentlemen usually pay from $lo to $18 a month for board in approved boarding houses or private families. Ladies pay, in best private families, $18 to $20 per month. Six dollars a year is paid for the use of such books, etc., as are furnished by the college and for a portion of the incidental expenses. The annual session opens on the first Wednesday in October, and closes with the annual commencement on the last Wednesday in May. There is no vacation during the session, except the Christmas holidays. Plain Truth.?It is a very difficult matter to speak unvarnished truth in courtly phrases, for the benefit of royal ears. Crowned heads do not take kindly to even the smallest box on the ear, though occasionally one has to be administered. The question then becomes one of being disagreeable politely. John lvemble, in giving the Prince of Wales lessons in elocution, found himself in this embarrassing position. According to the vitiated pronunciation of the day, the prince, instead of saying "oblige," would call the word "obleege."
