He hail excuses at hk tongue’s end for upt pay ing, and the longer the debt stood the more reasonable hk excuses seemed to his creditors. One day the editor met him on the street, and, after a general greeting, began on him wfQi: “Mr. Lemon, you hare been owing me for two years." “ Ye\ bnt I had bad Iqfk in my augar- bn-h." . , . “But you migfaT’have brought wood." “So I should, but I broke two new axes and couldn’t buy another.” **1 offered to take it act in turnips and corn.” . “I know, but tha orowa ate my corn op and tha Injuns stole all my turnips.’’ “Well, how are you fatting along now ?

Hers are two—both were told to the writer by the son of an American statesman at the highest rank : A score of years ago in England they dined with a lady of very high birth, wearing nobly a very high title, and, in the course of conversation, the English woman aaked the wife of the Aimarinsn statesman if she had traveled much in the United State, following thk up with the farther question : “ Then 1 suppose yon have seen, haven’t you, the famous waterfall at Nicaragua?" On another occasion, an English lady at almost equal rank said to her Ameri can skier: “I do wish you would tell what are the great lakes of America. Of course," she added, after a pause, “of course I know Wenham lake; but what are the others ?" How many persons to America know Wenham lake—a little pond to Mams chosette, which owed its Ei.ghsh fame to the feat that a certain “Wenham Lake lo* Company” was engaged in peddling comfort to the thirsty Britons. -Philadelphia American. days should l Thk ssixtara, I tUMfif ostarpfllsrs, will not kill old mast be lora I Msu» Ootowaa.—Aa Ohio ■ays: “Dari I gather together sh the osn, snob ss bog mswqpw with the eobe raked out, bon manor**, barnyard kgs, etc, After ths i 1 load thk mixtare on ths wagon, shd if not wet enough I throw a lew paik at water on it, drive into ths field and itnddls one row, and with another hand take two rows, one on one rids of the wagon, and put a small shovelful at thk mixture on each hSL By soaking tha mod before pleating Otar night it will be necessary then to oramiim a few bilk in oourra of five days, to see if they ere mskfag their way through the inch of dirt that wae first covered on sesd; if n, then the manure should be shoved to one side with the back of a rake.
