You can't talk about an Irishman without speaking of a bull. You have as many bulls in England as we. In England you: are bull-headed, and bull -tempered, and 'ball -necked ; you are John Bull ; von are over. Now, you can't put up a sign on a public house without sticking up a bull. In the very- street where we are sitting now, there are six public houses with signs of bulls." Oh, no," said one Of the gentlemen`, "not so many as that." "But I tell you there are just so many." "No, we have (taunted them, and we know there are not six." "Well, I will waster the dinner for the company In de same place where we are 'sitting now that there are six public houses with signs of bulls on them. "Very let's hear them." There is the White Bull, that's one; the Black Bull is two; the Brown Buil is three iShe Spotted Bull four:is the Pied Bullis five—" Ah, that's all, that's all," "No, there's an- other one." Ah, but we know better." I tell you there's another one. Black, white,tbrown, spotted, pied, and there's the Red Cow. " Ha, ha, that's an Irish buil." "Very well, if the Red Cow is an Irish bull, that makes sista and I've won my wager." Colorado Agriculture. Prof. Blount, of the Colorado Agri- cultural College, Writes to the Country Gentleman respecting the methods in use in Colorado agriculture, showing how much better off farmers are where it never rains than nthere they depend upon the clouds for the necessary supply 1 of moisture: "Farming in Colorado is really a very different industry from what it is in rainy sections. The difference arises from the manner in which the supply of moisture is furnished and applied. The eastern farmer depends solely upon, and thinks he can -raise nothing without rain, while the farmer in Colorado, who ca n take water from the natural streams - and distribute it over his land, wants no rain—would not have it. With the former, the elements of nneertainty al- -Ways exist, and the prospect of failure constantly confronts him from a want of sufficient amount of moisture, while the latter has no such fears nor does he ever lose a crop if he understands his Isusiness. He fears no dronth, but re- joices in the bright sunshine pf a cloud- less sky, applying moisture when need- ed, and keeping it off when not needed. To those who think Colorado is a vast, iry, sandy and desolate desert, it may sound strange to say that a drouth is unknown. But it is even so. Our soil is never too wet to plow, and never too alry and hard to turn. Our pastures are always green, -crops always fresh and vigorous until the period of maturity - ripens them. Although irrigation is a necessity, it is by no means se expensive as one would suppose. It is really a blessing -no other people enjoy, because it places the making of all crops in the farmers' own hands, and saves them from all fail- ure. It also makes every crop an aver- age crop, and often doubles it. " While rain in all seetions comes free to the want of it is a hundred tittles more expensive than all our great canals, ditches and means of applying water artificially to the crops. While our neighbors on the east suffer untold les- bians from dry seasons, the farmer here, with his foot or two of water, makes Ms aure annual average. In Colorado there are many streams under whose ilow of water millions of acres are yet unfenced and unbought. Although there are now in the Senateover1,000 miles :of canals, capable of irrigating over a million and half acres,the half is not yet surveyed. In the southern part of the State canals are being projected that will furnish land for thousands of families. - "The amount of water required to \‘, irrigate 100 acres ten years ago- will now irrigate double that area, from the faat 'that we have better facilities for distri- buting -water and applying it. Owing to the character of the soil, lay of land and the methods of using it, the cost of water varies from $1:50 to $3 per acre mutually. The conclusions reached by the State engineer are that upon an avera.ge a cubic foot of water per second will irrigate a,bout 55 acres. This, how- ever, appears to be a very small area, for in some countries a cubic foot will irrigate 70 or 80 acres." Signboards. Vigorous opposition of theliquor deal- ers to the temperance movement is natu- ral, and to be expected, for we war against their pecuniary interests; and if you touch some men in the pocket you touch them where they live. Were these men to exhibit at their places of besineas a truthful signboard, it would read = " Delirium tremens,fever, disease, pauperism,crime, redness of eyenwounds without cause, rags, wretchedness, des- • pair an& death, for sale here." That would be a truthful sign, but it would injure their business more than all the temperance organizations in ex- istence. The liquor seller will not even set up in his barroom a specimen of his work; he puts up blinds at the windows and screens atthe doors, to hide his -work from the passers-by; but the shoe maker and the tailor exhibit their work in their windows, and show what they have made out of the raw material. The tailor, when he has finished anew coat, places it where it may be seen by the greatest number of enstomers ; when the shoemaker has finished a first-class pair of boots he places them in his win- dow, because the exhibition tends to in- crease his trade. With the liquor - seller it is quite different. He is ashamed of his finished work. With him the raw material is always worth more than the finished article. Were he to exhibit that he would lose his trade. No wonder he is athamed to exhibit his work. In the world's great exhibitions you have seen finished articles of nearly every manufacture, from a toothpick to aloco illative, and the exhibitors were anxious 'eo explain the method of manufacture,or the texture of the woven fabrics. Almost every conceivable specimen of man's in- genuity and skill was there represented, from the raw material to the finished article. • But there was one specimen of manufacture absent. I remember, at the Mechanics' Fair in Boston, many years, ago, being struck with -this fact, and on mentioning it to Deacon Moses Grant, he proposed, to apply to the managers for permission to exhibit a specimen of the liquor seller's work. He knew a man who was once worth $40,000, who was then debased and ruined through drink, who agreed for a d.ollar a day to stand in that fair with a label in front of him, which read as follows': " I was once worth $40,000. I was once re 'spected and respectable. I once moved 'in good society. Such things as I am now are made out of such men as I once was. Please give us a premium for one of the best specimens to be found in the city." But they would not admit him ! The liquor -seller is ashamed of the results of his infamous trade. A bey was pass- ing by a liquor shop,and, seeing a drunk- en roan lying in the gutter in front of the saloon, knocked at the door, and said: "Mister, your sign's fell downs" and the angry liquor -seller chased him half round the square. • See the results of this traffic in its true colors, placed so full and fair before you that the very youngest cannot err in their' decision. A liqUor-seller had a tavern undergoing eepairs. One day a boy came running to his mother, crying out, "Mother, mother !" " hat is it, my boy ?" "Mr. Poole's tavern is finish- ed, mother." " Istoi:v do you know, my dear ?" inquired the mother. " Whyal saw a man come .out drunk !" Now, that is the legitimate fruit of the dram- shop.—John B. Gough. Flattery Wisely -Administered.

This vivacious writer on fashion and society topics says in the Minneapolis Tribune: Every one knows the Story -of the fashiona,ble woman who was estranged from her daughter because of the young woman's appearance while being carried - by a fireman from her sleeping -room in a burning "Why, mother," said the young woman, "how could I tell that my ankles Were uncovered at such a time of excitement?" • "Oh, I find no fa.ult with that;" said the leader of fashion; "your ankles are well enough, so fan as that goes; but you had on white stockings, which have not been either fashionable or even permis- sible in the last five years. I: Never ad- dress me again, for I shall not acknow- ledge you as nay child." Well, I haven't that girl's fault to be charged against me. I had hosiery of ultra marine blue when .1 stood on my head in the snow, but it was most ex- asperating for all that. I was. spending a few days in Albany with a dear friend, the sister of a member of the Ridgefield Club, and I had put on -snow- shoes for the first time. Snow shoes, you know, are an Indian device, and, like all things Indian,.. are, in my opinion, no good. They are like bat- tledores, pear-shaped frames, criss- crossed svith thongs. Abovei a little hole in the centre of each you put your foot and it is. then strapped' to'the netting, just by the ball of the foot, so that when you walk the great frames, with their long, tall sticks, go flip-flop, flip- flop, in, the most horridly awful fash- ion. Snow shoes' were made to buoy a person on the top of deep snow, but the THE fashionable thing in this age 'of muscle ' culture is to race in them on the slight- est muse on an inch of snow or the sur- face of a frozen pond. Girls who go in for the thing wear moccasins, tennis stockings, blanket knee breeches, a blanket skirt and a blanket ulster and worsted toque or liberty cap. That is all they put the snow shoes on at all for —just to wear that picturesque dress, in which, by the way, the slab-sid.est rail of a girl looks quite plump and pic- turesque. Unforturiately, I was dressed as I am always outside of doors, in presentable walking attire. I stood on a rock while my lady friend strapped the frames to my toes. All around me was a sea of snow—deep snow. There were two or three gentlemen ' at andistance,, waiting for a run. I had a temporary engage- ment with a refractory stocking suspen- der, so I whispered tei my friend, "Run on, Alice, dear, and Ot those men away while I fix something. I'll follow presently." Like a good girl, she flip-flopped along, the men taking the signal and leading the way. - Alas! it was not so cagy to follow with your first steps in snow shoes. I could not get off the rock to save me. I was unable in my tight skirts to step far enough to make the sticks clear the rock, and when I tried sitting on -My heels and sliding I pitched forward. went off the rock sure enough, but head first, and with my hands in the deep, soft. snow. Think of it! snow shoes were four feet in the air, on the rock, while I was in snow to my shoUlders,,with my face buried, and suffocation only a question of moments.. I knew that if I stirred matters up in the air would be worse. The gentlemen came speedily and put me on my feet, burning with mortifica- tion. ".We saw your signal's of distress," my girl friend whispered, tantaliz- ingly. "1 would rather have died thati been rescued," was all I said; and I meant it. If I do say it myself, I am always plucky. I stuck to those shoes; and tried to master them. But it was ridic- • ulous, You :know how a. practiced snow shoer rather slides than lifts his feet, and gets -along with -whatever grace can possibly attach to such a flip- flopping motion; but a beginner can not help lifting his or her feet very high; and the higher you lift them the higher you must, so as to keep the tail sticks from digging in. Well, I went about at the end of the procession flinging my feet wildly.in the air until I saw my companion fall in • the, snow and roll about shaking with some violent emo, 1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR tion.
