E&aginc, then, the glorious rumor that spread that old Fia herself had been nadfrfeobject for the lance of the evil rao ubd that the object of her tender, maidenly love was the old letter carrier, Johannes.

The two benighted old souls had many a good lattgh at tho clover way in which they would fool their tormentors. Tho day finally arrived, and early in tho morning Johannes started out, car rying with him his Sunday dress, tied up in a bundle. Unfortunately he was compelled to pass through the village street, and here he was accosted with the inquiry by one of tho young fellows of the village “where the postmaster was going to so early in the morning?” “Oh,” replied Johannes—and he tried to look dignified—“just peregrinating terra flrma. ” Johannes expected the big words would astouish his tormentor, but the boy stuck to him and succeeded in discovering that Johannes’ Sunday coat was iu the bundle. Tho villagers were at pno informed of tho fact, and Johannes was followed at a distance by one of the boys. Soon Fia was seen wad dling through the village street, also carrying a bundle, and tbe villagers wore new sure that something was about to happen. Fia was followed, and was Been to enter tho forest. Here sho met Johannes, and both were busy taking off their everyday dress when, with a hor rible yell, the entire population of the villago was seen approaching. “Look out for the wolves!” they cried. “They are biting everybody.” Fia and Jo hannes did not stand on ceremony. In his flannel underwear, leaving his Sun day dress behind, Johannes sprinted for tho village church, followed by Fia in her red petticoat, with the villagers running behind them, yelling “ W^Jf.'-V The minister was^^in’JT Abcdid 11 KriipujfY^hild, when the door to the “—^sacristy was burst open and Fia, breath ing like a whale from her exertion, roll ed in, followed by Johannes, bareheaded and in his flannels.

But the villagers say tho wolves were after them, and I have lost my Sunday dress, and Jo hannes”—and here Fia had to stop for lack of breath, and Johannes tried to crawl under a table to hide himself. The minister was not slow to see tho joke and understand tbo situation. Re pressing as far as possible his inclination to laugh, he requested Fia and Johannes to approach bis table, find addressed them on tbe sanctity of matrimony. When the pastor went homo to his din ner, he and his sexton had a good laugh at probably tho oddest pair of lovers evei to appear before a minister. . And as for tbe villago people, they yelled and cried aud hurrahed until Jo hannes, as ho later confided to Fia over a tumbler of something refreshing, “had never iu bis life lieeu so extempo raneously frustrated,” and that be ex pected every minute "to be stricken with obfuscation.”—From tbo Swedish. FELSENT1IAL8’ GUN. Pet*r Backed Oat. A New Orleans letter to the Philadel phia Press contains an account of a singular adventure that befell a Louis iana boy, Peter Sykes by name, who drives a milk cart for his father. He was on the road about sunrise, pretty dozy and perhaps sleeping a little, when a sudden jolt shook him wide awake. Instantly ho became aware of a hor rible thing. By some unaccountable means a big rattlesnake had found its way into the cart, aud was wrapped about the neck of one of tbe large milk cans. The fellow looked as if ho were all ready to strike. That was an awful moment for Peter. Thu cart was a tight little box of a place. The two cons filled up the front, and the driver’s seat was well iu the rear. A covering of black oilcloth shut tho boy iu. There was a narrow door space on cither side, to be sure, but as it happened Peter had fastened down both tho flaps to keep out tho morning chill. It would not do to stop the cart, lest the sudden jar should hasten tbe snake’s movements. A flash of thought, like an inspiration, came to tbe boy. With his eye still fixed on tbo reptile, he drew his knife from his pocket and whipped tin blade across tbe tight oilcloth be hind him, making a wide gash. Then shouting “Whoa I” to tho horse, he Jet go tho reins and dropped headforemost out of tho cart. Luckily tbe horse stopped, aud a po liceman who happened along at the mo ment helped Peter to kill tho snake. According to the story, tbe fellow meas ured 4 feet and carried ten rattles. little TALE OF A CHICAGCr FAMILY OF AN CIENT LINEAOE. How T)iej Celebrated the Glorloaa Fourth.

The Fclscnthals lived in Dosplaincs street, a patriarchal family cf a lineage so ancient that they might have claimed relationship with the crepuscular forms of life, own kinsmen to the amoebae and their fellow aristocrats. They kept a rag shop, aud it was their purpose to conciliate at times, to placate more often, occasionally to bewilder tho preducts of another race—a very old and honorable race, to be sure—which crossed the orbit of civilization to the lasting terror cf the stars some 2,000 years after Moses. There was Solomon Fclscnthal, pa triarchal as to beard and mien, slow but sure of speech, to whom sdl the tene ment looked up as if his queer old hand had guided the way to tho tablets tf stone. There was his young brother Da vid. There were Solomon’s David and David’s Solomon and Solomon’s David’s Solomon aud David’s Solomon’s David and Rose’s Rachel and Rachel's Rosy aud Levis and Jacobs and Isaacs until the Irish neighbors, skilled enough ia discriminating Mike’s Paddy from Pad dy’s Mike aud Big Mike from Little Mike, were in distress to properly differ entiate, but classed the ragman’s family as “thim Filsiuthals, ” aud made de scriptive particiil that IffitHfis ear” or “the Pifismthal f W U^lor.gs to the Siooud riginieut. ” Uow Ofator# Makes Silver. The process by which nature forms her silver mines is very interesting. It must be remembered that the earth’s grust is full of water, which percolates everywhere through tho rocks, making solutions of elements obtained from them. These solutions take up small particles of precious metal which they find here and there. * Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, tho water having got so far down as to bo set boiling by tho iutcr- ial heat of tho globe. Then they rush upward, picking up tho bits of metal as they go. Naturally heat assists tho per formance of this operation. Now and then tho streams thus form ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith er below the ground, pass through cracks or cavities in tho rocks, where they deposit their lodes of silver. This is kept up for a great length of time— perhaps thousands of years—until iho pocket is filled up. Crannies permeating tho stony mass in every direction may become filled with the precious metal, or occasionally a chamber may bo stored full of it as if 1,000,000 hands were fetching the treas ures from all sides and hiding away a mine for some lucky prospector to dis cover in another age. —Loudon Stand ard. IN THE ORANGE GROVES. Mhe Wa* aa IIIuatrator. The teacher of a primary school in the mission read “The Old Oaken Bucket” to tho little tots, and explained it to them very carefully. Then sho asked them to copy the first stanza from tbe blackboard and illustrate it as tbo artists illustrate a story in tbe daily papers.

It would hold as much powder as a man could carry in his hat It was toadied off with a slow fuse. In its convulsions it leaped upward and bounded as much as ten feet It had come to tho Fclsen- tbals in tho course cf business, aud tho use of it for patriotic purposes had been suggested by the cannon cf the Quinq boys across tho street Thereafter tho Quinn cannon spit and barked in vain. It is the Fourth of July-—-the monir ing. There have been various trivial outbursts of explosive patriotism in the barrooms along Madison street. Sundry bibulous persons have setoff crackers in the street cars and met with reproaches from their fellow passengers and the top cf the handle brake from the con ductor. But at last silence conns. The city lies asleep and the blanketing hush of the hour before dawn has settled up on its chimneys. Suddenly— Crash!

A cracker starts, another, a bunch in a barrel! The saloon keeper on the comer, with his suspenders hanging from his hips, blunders to the door, and, sighting with an eye like a slit in a poached egg, fires both barrels cf his shotgun into his neighbor’s windows. The Hushcr boys have exploded the anvil in their father’s smithy. The fire wagons arc scurrying to Strunk’s bam.

Are they concerned because they have awakened 100,000 of their fellow cit izens to on adequate appreciation of American inde pendence? Nut tiny. If nF( Iseuthal had put his name to the Declaration of juder peudcucc or bawled his defiance at Lord North iu the house of burgesses, you would have learned of it from other lips. Not from them!

About two days afterward the doctor happened to think of his case, and call ed on Pat in the stable. “Well, Pat,” said ho, “how are wo getting on with the treatment?” “Oh, shure, sir,” said Put, “Oi man age all right with tho grain and oats, but it’s har-rd with tho chopped hay.” —Boston Budget. He Scored Journalism. A successful physician, who began life as a reporter, spoke very scornfully of the newspaper man who had not sense enough to discover that tho talents needed to earn him n baro living in “journalism” would bring him substan tial rewards iu any other business or profession. I suppose it must have been some such idea that was at the root of Horace Greeley’s fixed objection to pay ing any man 4 salary of more than f2.i a week, it being his opinion that if an employee of a newspaper could earn more than that he ought to strike out for himself. Considering tbe number of second and third rate newspaper men who have mado first class reputations in politics, have adorned presidential cabinets, and mado their mark general ly iu the public life of the country, there does seem to be something wrong with the old hands at the bellows who can find nothing bolter to do.—Forum. What Started the Fight. A Philadelphia man was arrested on a warrant, charged with assault aud bat tery ou his wife, aud was taken to the central station for a hearing. His wife, on her oath, said he beat her so badly that she was detained in bed two days. When Magistrate Booth asked him why ho had beaten his wife, the prisoner said, “Well, jadge, you see, I opened tho door and threw my hat inside to see if it would be welcomed, and when she threw it out I was so mad that I wout inside and licked her.” Banking Laud Around the Tender Sprouts. Height of the Mound*. The question of banking sand around the tender sprouts is agitating the grow ers. Some are not iu favor of it. An ad vocate for bunking expresses himself as follows iu a letter to Florida Agricul turist : I believe that if wo had banked two fqct high around all the trees in the state it wrald havo made tho differ ence of mmy thousands of dollars of value iu our groves today. lean easily see that, if ail of our budding had been done close to the ground and one foot of sand had been thrown up around (hem every winter, many more thousands would have been saved in loss of buds and trees during the past year. One question is, How high should they be bunked? A mound one foot high and two feet across at tho bottom will con tain a little over ouo cubic foot of sand. Now raise it to two feet high and four foot across the base, and it will contain over eight cubic feet. As sand will not stay long at a slope of ouo to one in rain aud wind, tho base will havo to bo made wider to keep tho height to two feet. At any rate, it will, take eight times as much labor to raiso tho mound two feet as it will to make it one. I am banking one foot high at present, as thq nfost danger of splitting the bark ill close to the ground. If it comes cold enough to take tbe leaves off down to the mound, then I will consider tho question of raising the mound to two feet.

The best absorbents for use in stables are comparatively little known. It is a fact, however, says The Orange Judd Farmer, that the low grade potash salts, especially kainit, which is sold by all agricultural dealers and kieserit (Vhicb is not so common), if sprinkled in tbe stable daily or ou the manure pile, will pbsorb the ammonia or pitrogen, pie- venting its escape while also adding Considerable potash tq the pianaro pile. Kainit contains abaqt ]2 pounds of aer tual potash to the hundredweight. Acid phosphate is also a good absorbent if uoi too wet, and where the fine ground rock phosphate can be had cheaply it may lie freely used in the stable. The decompo sition iu tho manure pile may assist iu making the phosphoric acid of this raw product available. Fine ground land plaster cr gypsum (sulphate of lime) is also a splendid absorbent aud cau bo had almost everywhere. Where manures are to be applied t j laud that seems to re quire tbe use of lime, plaster should bo freely used as an absorbent iu the sta ble.
