Kosciusko Murphy, who is remarkable for his large, generoas ears, has bad a falling out With Misa Emeralda Long - coffin, an Austin Bele, toward whom he had been suspected of entertaining matrimonial intentions. Somebddy asked him the other day why he and Miss Longooffin were not out buggy riding as Much as usual, to which Kos- cineko replied that he did not propose to pay buggy hire for any woman who called him a donkey. a aI can't believe that Miss Longcoffin would call any gentleman a donkey," was the reply. “ Well she didn't come right out and say I was a donkey, but she might just as well have said so. She hinted that "What did she saa 2" "We were out riding, and it looked very much like rain, and I said it was going to rain on us, as -I felt a rain drop on my eaaa aud what do you suppose she said?' "Well, she said, 'that rain you felt on your ear may be two or three miles I have written so many articles about the importance of attending to matters on the feria "in the nick of time," when aone stitca will save nine," if taken at the proper moment, that I am half afraid to write again on a subject which so many of our agricultural writers have rang the changes on, for fear some one will say it is a hobby of mine, and that so mach talk about keeping every- thing in "apple pie order," is quite like- ly to prove "too much of a good thing." But I have just seen so pertinent an illustration of the folly of neglecting what ought to be dene now, until some time when there was nothing else to do, that I want to make use of it ter the benefit of tapas who can profit more by they can Waabstract ideas. One of my neighbors has a drag -saw. Duriug the winter he goes about, from house to house, sawing wood. Last week I had him engaged to saw wood for me. The logs were well skidd- ed. Everything was conveniently ar- ranged. Wheu he came he looked over the wood pile,' and his face was expressive of "I can put in a pod week's work here," I heard him tell his boy. ',They've got everything handy. There won't be anything to bother us. We oan saw at least twioe as much here as we did at the last place. We'll make a good thing oat of it, if we don't have any The machine was set, and by noon,on Monday,everything was in readiness for operation. I went out to the wood lot directly after dinner to see the machine started up. Just before they began to saw, the boy came to his father and said : "There's a screw loose on the lower part of the saw frame. It ought to be reply. "But we won't bother with it now, I guess. Pll fall at it and tighten em ell up after we get through to -day." - Now, it would not have taken ten minutes to have examined the entire machine and tightened every bolt that was loose. Bat no—by and by he worild attend to it ; there was more important business on hand now. Behold the result! About an hour after they began to saw there was a grand crash, and matters came to a slid - den standstill. On investigation it was found that the "loose screw" had caused the mis- chief. The frame was broken, and the saw also. "What does thedamage amount to ?" I asked. "Well," was the reply, as the owner looked the machine over, "it'll take just about twenty-five dollars to get a new saw and frame. There's that:much in cash that's got to go before we can do anything more, and it'll take about four days for the saw to come ; so there's the loss of four day's work of myself and team. Figuring them in at three dol- lars a day, and that's putting it low, there's twelve dollars more, Making thirty-seven. You can safely reekon on the accident costing about forty or -forty five dollars. That% the way the profits go. But if I'd seen to that loose screw it wouldn't have happened. That's what always comes of letting things go when you know they ought to be attend - I draw no morals. I leave that for the reader to do. Brother Gardener's Complaint 1 to His Pastor.

Mehemed Ruschdi Pasha,/ the ex - Grand Vizier, who died the other day in poverty and banishment, was of humble parentage, like so many emin- ent Turkish dignitaries, and owed his original start in life, according to the London Telegraph, to the following curious incident : When he was a young infantry cor- poral, and in the days of Sultan Mah- mond, some ladies of the imperial harem, while shopping in Pere one morning, were greatly attracted by the quaint antics of a monkey capering at the window of the . Grande Rue. On their return to the palace they besought their lord so importunately to give them the animal for a pet that his Majesty ordered one of the household to procure it for them without delay. This official, however, fiuding upon in- qairy that the ape belonged to a French subject hesitated to take possession of it. Mahmoud at once commanded that negotiatiationeshould be opened with the monkey's proprietor for its Not a soul in the imperial household understood French • but a happy thought struck the 'Chief Imam, who had by accident noticed a young cor- poral of the palace guard some days previously studying a French vocabul- ary While on duty. Mehemed Rusohdi was sent for, and, having been intrusted with plenary powera todeal with 'the monkey owning Giaour, acquitted bini- self sosuccessfully of his mission that person, and caused him to be snirirnoa- ed to his presence. "Thou has done 3 well, Ely aonai said the Bhalifeh, as Mehented lauschdi prostrated himself on the oupet it his feet i "I will morn - pease thee With five thousand piasters or the rank of major in my army, whichever thou wilt.

I was once young and bashful myself. ' Now about this wedding. The receiv- ing part is easy. Aftei the nuptial ceremony is concluded, you and Mike "But his iiame isn't Mike," said the young lady.

Which is the way down stairs, please ?" "There are two ways," replied the horse reporter. "You can jump down the hatchway or take the stairs. Our elevator never, rune." • Six Days or Seven P • It is pretty generally conceded in these days by men of all beliefs that the Christian Sabbath is a necessary and wise institutioa. Apart from religioas ground, taere is every reason why it should be observed. Economy, health —mental and physical—the welfare of men and the vtelfare cif animals all de- mand it. The man who works seven days out of the week is as sure of break- ing down as die man who should at- tempt to work twenty-three hours out of every twenty fOur. The farmer is more frequently tempted to be a. seven- day worker than many of bis fellows ; but he makes a bad mistake if he puts seven days instead of six into his work- ing week. Tit "New England Home- stead" evident y believes in a six-day policy. Thie i what it says : With this lo ely weather wide-awake farmers are di ping into the spring's work with a vengeance, and six days in the week seem ail too short to accom- plish ‘9110 is al) be done, and there is danger °flaying more work to do Sun- days than is really proper. The odd jobs and chorea one can't find time to do during the week are too often left for Sunday, so that one has almost as much work to do that day as any other. This daesn't pay in the long run. We need rest every seventh day, more so at alas busy season than at others. And the horses end oxen also appreciate a good Sunday rest aied quiet. It is ndt only very proper to strictly observe the Sabbath, but it actually pays to do so. That has been demonstrated ver and over again. How Vaccination Affects Some There isSiomething about vaccination that is peculiar At Norristown, Pa., a young lady was vaccinated with virus taken from the' arra of e, young raanand after it worked he could never be near him a moment without wanting that arm of his arou d her waist or neck.
