Trona the Louisville Ledger.
Wishing to keep posted as to the con-
) dition of the crops and to ascertain the
enact amount of damage.' dents by the
recent flood a reporter of the Ledger
started out the other morning on an in-
terviewing expedition. He was fortun-
ate enough to encounter s farmer at the
edge of the town bringing a haul of hay
tato the city. Burning with enthusiasm
the reporter hailed him. lie hinted and
t ie following colloquy took place
"How arts you friend Y"
'Tired ''
"What's hay now f"
"Same u it always was...
What's that i"
Dried gnus."
What did you think of the rain 1"
"Thought it was damp."
"Didn't raise anything then. hey
Nothing but an umbrella." •
"Wiest did your neighbours get 1"
"Chills and fever. "
"What are you doing now r
"sitting out here in the sun and may-
be missing a chance to tell this hay,
Come up here if you want to talk."
The reporter scrambled up to the side
of his new -made acquaintance, and as
they jolted on he again produced his
note -book and continued:
"What did the farmers do last spring?"
"Ran everything in the ground, as
usual."
"Did your wheat do anything i"
"Yes."
"What
"Sprouted...
".Can you race any tobacco now 1"
"Yes. Do you want a chew !"
"How are potatoes ?"
"Under the weather eorewhat, tut
s'ele to be out.,"
Becoming just the least bit diecuur
aged, the reporter asked timidly:
"Will you bring many beets to the
city this year r.
"Gut a good load now, was the re-
joinder, u he checked his horses and
'laid: "Guess you'd better plant what
I've told you, and see what it will yield.
Here's where you get off."

plate, and when baked split opeu; lay
one-half on a plate, crest down; butter
and put over it a thick layer of straw-
berries and sugar, and so on. The last
half may be a oover, the cruet side up,
or it may be turned and coyered with
fruit like the others. If served hot leave
it in the oven from five to ten minutes.
Remembering that it was just about time
to report at the ottice, the baffled search-
er after news climbed down the side of
the wagon, and, thinking that a soft
answer turneth away wrath, he calmly

cans placed on a board in boiling water.
Boil the syrup until thick and then till
the cans and fasten the covers.
STRAWBERRY ACID. —Dissolved five

water and pour it upon the twelve pounds
of 'strawberries in a porcelain kettle.
Let it simmer forty-eight hour. Strain
it, taking cads not to bruise the fruit.

Wast O'clock.
When I was a boy, my father one day
day called me to him, that he might
teach nie how to know what o'clock it
was. He told me the use of the minute
finger and the hour hand, and described
to one the figures on the dial -plate, until
I was pretty perfect in my part.
No sooner h%d I gained this additional
knowledge, than I set off scampering to
join my companions, but my father
called me back again. Stop, Humphrey
said he, "I have something else to say to
ybu."
Bak again I went, wondering what
else -I had to learn, for it seethed to me
that I knew all about the clock quite as
well as my father did.
"Humphrey," said he "I have taught
you to know the time of the day; I must
now teach you to find out the time of
your life."
All this was Dutch to me; so I waited
rather impatiently to hear how my father
would explain it, for I wanted sadly to
go to my marbles.
"The bible." said he, elescribes the
years of a man to he threescore and ten.
or fourscore years. If we divide the
fourscore years i f an -old man's life into
twelve parts like the dial „f the clock, it

then, it is one o'clock of his life, and
this is the case with you; when you
arrive at fourteen years. it will be two
o'clock with you: and then at twenty-
one years, it will be three o'ciock, Should
it please God thus to spare your life.
In this manner, you may always know
the time of your life; and your looking
at the clock may perhaps remind you ,if
it. My great-grandfather. according to
this calculation. died at twelve o'clock;
my grandfather at eleven, and my father

STRAWBERRIES.—Do not- wash them
unless absolutely neeesaary but if it
must be done hold the shallow basket of
unhulled strawberries close under the
pump while you give then one good,
generous douche, which will pass the
basket, taking with it the dint and grit
which would otherwise have set your
teeth on edge. Let theta drain and dry
for a few moments undisturbed, then
hull them, handling as lightly as possi-
ble. Put the sugar over them. It draws
out the juice and changes the character
of the fruit. If they are not to be eaten
for an hour or more, hang the barket
in the refrigerator and do not hull them
till the last moment.

MIRACULOUS.—A man named Jas.
Thomvon, residing in the township of t
Morris, fell from a window in the third
story of McKinney's Hotel, last Friday
night, striking the sidewalk with great
force, dislocating his shoulder, and re-
ceiving other injuries. He was much
under the influence of liquor, and had
been put to bed a few minutes before.
It is expected he may recover
