HOFFENSTEIN'S PANTs" Hoffenstein was busily engaged in scolding Herman for not polishing a lot of brass jewelry there was in the show-case, when a stoop shouldered countryman entered the store and inquired: ; "Have you got any jeans pants here ?" "Certainly, my frent," replied Hoffenstein, "ve makes a specialty uf goods in dot line, und ve defy competition. If ve sell anything und you don't like it, you gets your money back or something else in exchange, you know. Vas you a farmer ?" "Yes, sir; I live on Red river. "Yell, den, you need a bair uv bants like dese," said Hoffenstein, pulling out a sky-blue pair from a pile of clothing on the counter. "Dey vas de genervine doe skin, und vill last de whole year oud, you know." * * a The countryman tooK ine pains iu mo light, examined the texture of the cloth, and then shaking his head knowingly, said : "There is too much cotton in them; they will shrink." "Of course, my frent, dey will shrink; but vait und I dells you someding. If a man vat owns a pank or keeps a store comes here, I don't sell him dem kind of pants. Yy?

On some of the Western roads they attach a passenger car to a freight train and call it "mixed." It isn't in the order of things that such trains should travel very rapidly, and sometimes there is considerable blowing among the "traffic." "Are we most there, conductor?" asked a man for the hundredth time. "Remember, my wife is sick, and I'm anxious." "We'll get there on time," replied the conductor, stolidly. Half an hour later the nervous man approached him again: "I guess she's dead now," said he, mournfully, "but I'd give you a little something extra, if you could manage to catch up with the funeral. Maybe she won't be so decomposed but what I would recognize her!" * - - *? i-J -4. 5 xne conaucwr gruwieu at mu, ?uu mc man subsided. "Conductor," said he, after an hour's silence.

Two hours later the conductor saw him chatting gaily, and laughing heartily with a brother victim, and approached him. "Don't feel so badly about your wife's death ?" "Time heals all wounds," sighed the nervous man. "And you are not so particular about the note," sneered the conductor. "Not now. That's all right. Don't worry.

He owes everybody, including Sam Johnsing, his colored carriage driver, to which trusty John he owes a year's back wages. Of late, Colonel Perger has been exhibiting no uneasiness, whatever, about the matter, much to the mental disquietude of the faithful African "Boss, I tenders a vacancy in my department," exclaimed Sam yesterday, having screwed his courage up to the sticking point. "Why, Sam, what is it that perturbs you so much?" "I'se disturbed boss, bekase I'se a short winded niggah. My lungses is defected."

The question is often asked, "What is the use of pain ? It is scarcely conceivable that the infliction has no object." There are obviously two aspects to this question : In one science has an immediate interest; with the other it has a secondary, but not unimportant, concern. The first is essentially physical. What useful purpose does paiu subserve in the animal economy? The answer is thrust upon us by daily observation and experience. There are two sentinels posted, so to say, about the organism to protect it alike from the assaults of enemies without and exacting friends within. The first of these guardians is the sense of fatigue. When this speaks, there is need of rest for repair. If the monitor be unheeded, exhaustion may supervene ; or, before that point of injury is reached, the second guardian will perhaps interpose for the vital protection?namely, pain. The sense of pain, however, is more directly significant of injury to structure, active or threatened, than an excessive strain on function, although in the case of the vital organs pain occurs whenever the pressure is great. Speaking generally," it may be set down as an axiom that, whatever collateral uses pain may subserve, its duel ana most obvious service to humanity is as a deterrent and warning sensation to ward off danger. It is worthy of note, though sufficiently familiar to medical observers, that the absence Df this subjective symptom, in cases of severe injury, is too often indicative of an injury beyond repair. The extinction of pain is not the highest, although it may be a generous impulse. If there were no guardian nature, it would be impossible to live long in the world without self-inflicting the most formidable injuries. That pain, in the second place, has an educational value, as regards the mind and temper, no one can doubt. Some forms of pain would seem to be chiefly intended for this purpose ; but even in this view, pain has a higher development of the mind which controls the body, and of which the brain is the formative organ, is a process of physico mental interest governed by natural laws of which science is perfectly competent to take cognizance. The 3ubject, as a whole, is one with which the physician and physiologist have much concern.?Lancet. Rules and Suggestions for Transplanting Trees.?A general rule that will hold good in transplanting trees, shrubs, and grape vines, says The Farmer's Call, is to shorten and severely prune the parts that are to remain above ground. In taking plants that have attained any considerable size, it is unavoidable that the roots will be broken more or less and large portions of them left in the ground. This makes it necessary to preserve a proper balance between 1 4~ W.. nnmini. fV?a tnno tne IWU pai id ujr pi uuiug ?uu ingly. In transplanting, whether in spring or fall, the roots should be spread out as well as possible without cramping them unnaturally, and spring planted trees in case of protracted drought may often be saved by watering them evenings, when without it they would die. The following practical hints on this subject are from an address by Mr. Samuel Edwards before the Illinois Horticultural Society : Deciduous trees, the roots of which have become dry in transit, can in many instances be saved by burying the entire tree in moist earth for a few days. The prolific cause of loss ?s the failure to properly pack and firm soil among the roots of the newly set trees. Fine dirt should be packed in by hand and all roots covered several inches with it. Pour on a pail or two of water to wash dirt into all possible crevices. Alter ground settles fill in again, tramp and pound dirt firmly about the roots. Leave the surface soil loose, mulch with hay, straw, or other coarse litter to a depth of six inches, extending a foot beyond ends of roots. Neglect to mulch or frequent 6tirring surface soil kills many trees, especially if they are daily deluged by water. In a season of protracted drought, watering may be necessary. Dig a hole near the tree, water bountifully, then return the earth after water settles. Wrap bodies of new set trees with burlaps of any cheap material to shade from hot sun. In a hot summer, if this is not done, bark is often killed in spots on south or southwest siue. Gentleness with Hors es.?A horse cannot be screamed at and cursed without becoming less valuable in every particular. To reach the highest degree of value the animal should be gentle and always reliable, but if it expects every moment that it is in harness to be "jawed" at and struck, it will be in a constant state of nervousness, and in its excitement is liable, through fear, to do something which is not expected, as to go along doing what you started it to do. It is possible to train a horse to be governed by word of mouth, almost as completely as it is to train a child, and in such training the horse reaches its highest value. When a horse is soothed by the gentle words of his driver?and we have seen him calmed down from great excitement by no other means?it may be fairly concluded that he is a valuable animal for all practical purposes, and it may be certainly concluded ihe man who has had such power over him is a humane man, and a sensible one. But all this simply means that the man must secure the animal's confidence. Only in exceptional instances is he stubborn or vicious. If he understands his surroundings and what is required of him, he gives no trouble. As almost every reader must know, if the animal when frightened can be brought up to the object he will become calm. The reason is he understands that there is nothing to fear. So he must be taught to have confidence in the man who handles him, and then this powerful animal, which usually no man could handle if it were disposed to be vicious, will give no trouble. The very best rule, therefore, which we would lay down for the management of the horse, is gentleness and good sense on the part of the driver. Bad drivers make bad horses, usually. Care of the Human Ear.?The human ear is a much more delicate organ than most people suppose. It is extremely dangerous to interfere with it by use of ear-picks, or any of the various instruments used for the purpose of cleaning it from wax. The wax is a natural secretion, and unless the ear be comes diseased it does not accumulate any faster than is necessary to protect the passage from the entrance of insects and variaus particles which might otherwise be forced in and tend to interfere permanently with the hearing. The greatest care is necessary iu washing the ears of little children. They 3hould be washed outside, but 011 the inside only so far as the finger wrapped in a soft towel will go. The practice of forcing a hair pin or any other hard instrument into the ear passage is fraught with danger of injuring the membrane and causing permanent deafness. Earache is a malady of childhood and causes most distressing pain. The simplest remedy for it is to take a little cotton dipped in warm sweet oil, and put it in the ear passage. A danger that may arise from doing so simple a thing as this is that minute particles of the cotton may be left in the ear. To prevent this, some physicians adrise making a little wad of the cotton and trapping it in the finest and thinnest linen cambric that can be fouud, and dipping this n warm, sweet oil. I11 case of intense pain, x few drops of hot laudanum or camphor may be used with he oil. When foreign jodies get into the ar, they should be removed bv syringing them out with warm tvater.

The following is from The Knights of Hon- ; or Reporter, published in Boston : j During the past month we have had mem- f bers of the order, both in New York and ' Massachusetts, say to us that the cause of ! three assessments was the heavy death rate , in the Southern States, and one member re- i marked that "the South did the dying and the North did the paying." A number of \ papers published in the interest of other or- i ders have also seen fit to take a fling at the Knights of Honor on account of its national ( policy of extending its benefits to acceptable men in all sections of the country, and pre- " dieting the most direful results to the order as a consequence. As far as the aforesaid * papers are concerned, we know they are very solicitous for the welfare of the Knights of , Honor, and the editors of some of them are, no doubt, becoming victims of insom- t nia, thinking of the dreadful catastrophe 1 about to overtake our order, so in order to ] quiet their nerves, and also to show our ] frightened members that they are some- < what mistaken in their ideas, and their j statements are not based on facts, we give < the death rate per thousaud in the Knights ; of Honor in seven of the Northern States , and seven of the Southern States during the \ year 1890: j IS i PWiiln 7.n ?

They refute the statement "that all the dying is done in the South," and prove that occasionally some of our members in the North cross over the dark river. We trust the above facts will prove satisfactory to our critics and our disgruntled members, and | that in the future we will hear less of the : enormous death rate in the South. Origin ok Common Words.?Many words i once written with dignified motive now 1 cause us to read passages of standard litera- , ture with a guffaw. The word "imp" was 1 once a term of high honor. But how now ' sounds the line from Spencer, "Ye sacred ; imps that on Parnasso dwell." Over many a grave of the old French nobles may be ; read the line, "Here lies that noble imp." A sacred poem, written by Gascoigne three centuries ago, begins a stately address to the posterity of Abraham with the words, "O, Abraham's brats," brat being then a word of stately meaning. The word "infant" means literally "not ' speaking." Have you a pug dog ? Did you ever think his face looks like that of a mou key ? The monkey he most resembles is a ' pug monkey, which gets its name from pug or puck, as Shakspeare writes, the sprite of mischief. i Canter is an abbreviation from Canterbury gallop, so called because pilgrims to Canterbury rode at the pace of a moderate gallop. A grocer, says hn old diction ary, was origin- i ally one who sold by the gross. A "grenade" derives its name from its shape, which resembles a pomegranate. A "biscuit" means "twice baked," because, according to military practice, the bread or biscuit of the Romans was twice prepared in the ovens. Did you ever notice the leaves of a dandelion? They are said to resemble, in shape and size, the tooth of the lion, and so the French call it dent de lion, and we the "dandelion." The pope was formerly called the "pape," which means the same as "papa," or father. Vinegar comes from two Latin words, vin and acer, meaning "wine and sour."

For three years past she has been a most phenomenal sleeper, her sleeps lasting from three to five days at a time, during which with eyes sealed, she does the most marvelous things in the way of needle and fancy work, in paper wreaths and feather flowers, assorting and arranging colors with a nicety of true art. She will retire to rest and fall asleep in a perfectly natural manner, and soon thereafter will arise, though sound asleep, and with closed eyes in a dark room will make articles requiring the most delicate and skillful work. Many of these articles are upon exhibition in the city. She will remain in this condition for several days, and when she awakens has no recollection of what has occurred during the trance. These troubles are exceedingly trying to her strength, and she is usually exhausted when she awakens. Of late the sleeps are of shorter duration but of more frequent occurrence. She converses loudly when in the trances, and although one of the most amiable ladies when awake, she is at these times most petulant. No means of awakening her have yet been devised, vigorous shakings, pinchings and shower baths having no effect whatever. She is exceedingly sensitive in regard to her affliction and reluctant to take medical advice.?Minnesota Cor.
