Ife 1as.Ther. - We had on board, as a matter of course, the betting young man from Chicago. No - steamer ever sailed that did not have this young follow aboard, and 'there are enough of them to last the Atlantic for a great many years. He knows everything that everybody thinks he knows but does nyt, and his delight was to propound a query, and then when you half answer it to cooly and exasperatingly remark: "Bet yer a bottle of wine you're'wrong." The matter would be so simple and one of so common repu;e that immediately you accept the wager, only to find that in some minute particular you were wrong, and that the knowing youth had won. For instance: . . "irhompson, do you know how many States there are in the Union V) Now, any citizen of the Unied States wno votes and is eligible to the Presidency ought to know how many States there are in his beloved country without thinking, but how many are there who oan say off hand I And so poor 1', hmf son answord: "What a question I Of course I know." "Bet yer bottle ye don't." "Done." "There are-" At-d then 'I hompson. would find himself figuring a very important proolem as to whether Colorado had been admitted, and Nevada and Ongoa, and he wou d decide that one had and the other hadn't, and flually state the number, with great certainty that it was wrong. The Chicago muan's crowning bet occur red the last day out. The smoking-room was tolerably hll, as well as the occupants,and every bouy was bored, as everybody is on the last day. The Chicago man had been silent for an hour, when suddenly aie broke out . "Gentlemen-" "Oh, no more bets," was the exclama tion of the entire party. "GUve us a rest." "I don't want to bet, but I can show you something curious." "Weli i" "I say it and mean it. I can drink a glass of waer without its going down my throat. "And get it into your stomach 1" "Certainty," Tuore was a silence of considerable more than a minute. Every man in the room had been victimized by this gatherer of incon siderate trilles, and there was a general dis positi'n to get the better of hin in somte way, if possible. Here was the opportunity. How could a man get a glass ot water into his stomach without it going down his thioat? Impossible I And so the usual bottle of wine was wagered, and the Uhica go man proceeded to accomplish the sup posed impossible feat. It was very easily done. All he did was to stand upon his head on the seat that runs around the room and swallow a glass of water. It went to his stomach, but it did not go down his throat. And so his last triumph was greater than all his previous ones, ter every man in the rooi had been eager to accept iis wager. From that ilma out had he offiered t) wager that he would swallow his own head Ie would have got no takers. "The Long-legged Looo." The monster locomotive built at Altoona. Pa., for the Pennsylvai.ia Ra"lroad Com pany, made her first trip between Philadelphia and Jersey City recently. She is technicaily known as the "new clasa K engine." but haq been given the name or the "long-legged loco" by the railroad men. This latter title comes fron liler big driving wheels, which stand six feet six inches above the rails. Five feet and eight inches Is the height of an ordhiinary anthracite en gine. The new locomotive is intended as an Improvement upon the Iildest designs of fast and powerful passenlger engines, where - in the higheat a.mn sought is a lo,:omotive that can be relied on to p~ull the heaviest trains over all grades, agalinst stilf winds and with the least possible liability toward hot boxes or low steam, on th60 quickest schedule time. She has 18 inici cylauderi', and a miaximaum steam pressura of 140 pounds. She has a greater lire surface by nearly 50 square feet than the next best locomiotives, and the b'g lire -box is gamned in a peculiar mainer. Instead of hanging insie the side frame with the springs on top of the frame, the boiler rests on the frame and the springs are beneath it. The width of the framne is thus guaiued for the firebox, and the boiler's steauung capacihy is materially Increased, Tok iet this an~d get ihe added f orce of steamn freely in and out of the cylinders, large and massive vailves that give a great aiea of stean port, are one oh the espiecial features ofth1 e engine. Th'izs torce, ini turn, is too g a for the englineer to reverse the muachj''au by the ordinary lever.

Tn'ie Louder is nothing but a black box, en wvhich the painter has put oiiiy a single panallelogramn of thin gill lines. T1he naacino weighs mnch mort than ordiinary passenger miotors, anti( hii extra weight is made up by making the parts that bear the stiain as heavy ats p)oss ble. 'The mionster as 67 fee long, an'h the top of the smokestacit is 11 j feet fromn the rail. With her boiler full oi water and itlre in her box, the engine weighs 9J2,6U() poundis, the tender, starting out with coal and water, weighs 73,000 pounds. The engineer, on hier maiden trip, ran hien fromi Pmliadeaphia to Jersey City, a distance of ninety inlles, in 102 mnutes. T1hie best time ever made by the new I lonig-legged en glue was (done on her experimentai trip be tween Huntimgton andh Altoona, a 34 -mile stretch, every toot of which is up-grade. She made one mile in 67 seconds, and another mile in 58 seconds, but the fact of most value to the railroad inen who watch ed her was that everything ab'out her rain cool, A Now Way to Froposo Marriage. The tide is turning at last. A young man in Nelson county, Iowva, armaed him. self with a revolver to shoot a young wo. umnan who had dleclinedt the oifer of hiS hand. But she was up to snuff. she read the paper and had frequently seen accounts o1 similar affairs, qtietly resoiving that nc dhiscai dedi lover could make a victim of her, not if the court, or lather the courted, un derstood h~ raelf. Wheo' the young mani arrived at the house on his deadly minion he found the fair but cruel one in the kitchen doing the week's ironing.

The neat time he proposes and is refused he will probably conclude that that anttes it AGRIOULTURAL. Usz GOOD TooLs-A great many farmers are "penny wise and pound foolish" in regard to farm tools and implements. It is very poor economy to use poor and worn out tools, when by their use the work is I made more tedious and less effectual. Ail farmers are familiar with the difference 4 of using a saw that is in good order and one that is old, rusty and dull. 'The same i rulo holds good with all farm tools, in a greater or less degree. It has been said "it I is a poor carpenter who does not keep his .tools sharp." We believe the same saying might be equally well applied to farmers. I A sharp hoe, toytl-e, plow-pointor culti. I vator share, will do its wora much better and- with much less power than wh n dull. Better use up the grindstone than the I extra muscle m working with a dull or rusty tool. The few minutes tha tit takes to grind a tool will be returned with interest by the time and strength saved. But it is one thing to have good tools and another thing to keep them good. The im plement can remain in gnod order ir kept out of the rain and hot sun allthe time. A little care must be exercised to keep tools in their place, which should be always un der shelter. ECONOMIZING LAND -We see It some. where recoawended, but it is by no means a new Idea, that, in setting out apple. orchards, the trees of which should not be less thin thirty feet apart, to plant peach trees between the applea. They will not inierfere with young apple trees for many years,and then not until about two gener- I ations of peach I rees shall have passed away. I We have referred to this economizing of 1 space on several occasious, having seen it adopted by some first-class fruit growers. We are glad to see that raising of peaches in the eastern counties of this State is V yearly increasing, and it is no doubt found to be quite as profitable as any other fruit crop when its cultivation is properly un- r derstood. As dried fruit for winter use there is none so popular, there I being a demand at all times for any quant'ty that can be raised. The o C fashioned method of drying the peach, after quartering with the skin on, we don't think has been inprove(d on by removing E the skin, because the skin and that part or t the flesh adhering to the skin, whteh con- 9 tain the largest proportion of the flavor of I the fruit, aro lost. KRI'INo F.oUR 8wET.-The keeping properties of flour depend largely on the care bestowed up n the wheat before it reaches the miller's hand. The wheat should not be allowed to stand in the field exposed to drenching r..ins, or housed In a danip state. It is quite generally agreed that the bran of wheat sours first, and the high grade flours, frim which every ves tige of the hull is removed, retain their freshness longest. If wheat is perfectly dry when put into the bin or garner it will keep a long time without "heating" but it will keep a much longer time if si ored where a current of fresh air is admtited. Flour will keep best in a cool, dry, airy room. In the summner flour should not be stored either in a ccllar or garret, but in rooms where there is a free circulation of fresh air. Flour should not bo- stored wit I grain or other substauces which are liable to heat, as it has been known to spoil from being stored in contact with such articles. GRAFTING WAX. - A reader writes us for a recipe for muaking grafting wax that will not melt. in sunimer nor crack in t winter. Replying, we would say that three 3 parts resin, three parts beeswax, and two I parts tallow will make an excellent graft ir.g wax. A cheaper wax thet has given us good satisfacIon is made by melting to. gethier tour pati good, clean resin, two parts beeswax and one part t allow. When the ingredients are all mnelied anad mixed, pourinto a pail ot c >ld wvater, when the wax wvill harden sulliciently to be worked andl pulledi as In workingt laulasses catndy. t If used in cool weather it will be necessary to keel) it in warm water, and in hot weather cold watei wilt be needed. F:>r nursery graftine, this wax is someitimies melted anu spread on narrow strips of cloth which are wvound are wound aroun d the graft. ______ A CHEAP CORN 8HELLER.--An exchange says tinut a handy c->rii sheller may be, made from a pice of plaink two feet punk, two inches thick and t mn inches wide.

The corn is shelled by rubbing thie ears up on the headis of the nails, the hoard resting in a slanting p >sition ini the box. A CRAcK IN A 'zTRE.--When a tree cracks or ap its in bot Ii the bark and1( the wood, it indicates an uinhalhy gaowth. To repair the muischief before it becomes too late~, cut away the bark now on each side of the sph111for an inch in widlth, and with a gouge take off the edges of the ciack in tlie wood for a (uattIer of an inch in depth. Cover the wound andi the whole bark with a paste made of cow dlung and clay, and~ wrap a piece of bag gimg aroundl the trnk. Tnen spread a bushel of wood ashies around the tree as far as the branches spread. ITr is of no avail to atteun ph. to raise good chaicken~s, or exp~ect 10 have good eggs from your birds ini season, a goodly measure ot their natural r q'uiremnents in doimesticat ion are observed, and1( a judicious system of care uad feeding is ad(1op:edc for their ad. vanemnent, WVith such attention, there is nou good reason why poultry may not bo ad vantageously kept by any man or womatn who possesses tutt for this simple rutral emuploymeni'.

Gus Ds SMITH is rather slovenly in his iabits, and does not always wipe off his wnin after meals. A few days ago he re. r.arked incidentally to his landlady that he utended to shave ofl his musische.

The symptoma of an acute attack of inflamma tion of the kbueys are as follows: Fever, pain in the smnall of the back, and (thence shooting down ward; nuitimbess of the thigh, vomiting, usually at Airst a deep red color of the urine, which be cones pale and colorless as the disease increases, andt is (ischargod very often with pain and diM culty; costivoness, and soie degree of colic. In chronic tilseases of the kidneys the symptoms are pain m the back and limbs,- dryness of the skin frequent urinittions (espectilly at night) general rlop y, headache, dizziness of sight, intligention and palpitation of the heart, gradual loss 01 strength, paleness and pulliness of the face, cough and shortness of breath. In diseases of the kidneys the VRORTINE gives immediate relief. It has never failed to cure when it is taken regularly and directions followed. in I many cases it may take several bottles, especially cases of long standing. It acts directly upon the secretions, cleansing and strengthening, removing all obstructioui and impurities. A great many can testify to cases of long standing having been perfectly cured by the.

NEW AND STALn BDA.-The -nature o the difference between nw and etale bread is far .from being known. It is only Ia ly that the ce'ebi ated French chemist, Boutsin. gault, instituted an inquiry into it, from which it results that the difference is not the consequence of, desication, but s)lely of the cooling of the bread. It we. take fresh bread into the cellar, or ih any place where it cannot dry, the inner part of the loaf, it Is true, is found to be crumbly but the crust is no longer brittle. If stale bread is taken into the oven again, it again as sumes all the qualities of fresh baked bread, although in the hot oven it must undoubt edly have lost part of its moisture. M, Boussiugault has made a fresh Idaf of bread the subject of minute investigation, and the results are anything bit uninteresting. New bread, in its smallest parts, Is so sort, clammy, flexible and glutinous (in conse. q'ience of the starch during the process of, tormenting and baking being changed into mucilaginous dextrine,) that by mastication it Is with greater diilculty separated and* reduced to smaller parts, and In less under the influence of the aiva and digestive juices. It consequently forms itself into hard balls by careless and hasty mastication and deghitation, becomes coated over by saliva and slime, and in this state enters the stomach. 'Ike gawtric juice being unable to penetrate such hard amases, and being scarcely able even to act upon the surface of thein, they frequently remain in the stomach unchanged, and, like foreign bod ies, irtinate and inconimode it, inducing every species of suffering-oppression of true atomach, pain in the chest, disturbed circulation of the blood, congestion and pain in the head, irritation of the brain, and intlanimattion, aijopiectic attacks, cramp and ielirium.
