"naohe - .. -_.__,,,,’ , . was»... -5." V- .. .It’s a fad among society that’s gay; Removing Rocks. Appendicitis. Have you had the new disorder? If you haven’t ’tis the order To succumb to it at once without delay; It is called appendicitis, Very different from gastritis, Or the common trash diseases of the day. It creates a happy frolic, Something like a winter colic, That has often jarred our inner organs some; Only wrestles with the wealthy, And the otherwise most healthy. Having got it, then you're nigh to Kingdom come. OPERATION \VITE DYNAMITE. The description of any process for lightening the task of getting rid of rocks on a. farm is sure of an interesting audience, for which reason the story of a rock “ shooting,” told by a correspond- ent of the Rural New Yorker, is here repeated : This especial line of economics did not take place on this farm, for I have been fortunate enough to have the rocks removed by former generations, but a neighbor was not so fortunate, and. hearing the reports of his “ shootings," I went over to see him. I found him about to begin oprations on an ugly looking rock that showed about six inches above the surface and which was a botheralion every time the field was plowed, cultivated or cut. With an iron bar he sounded around it until he found the straightest side, then with the bar a hole was made about two feet deep, slanting enough so that the end ofit would be under the rock. A “stick ” of dynamite (one half pound), was crumbled with the hands, let run into the hole and pressed lightly down with a broom handle. Then a piece of fuse two feet long was put in, having a. cap on the end, and another “stick” was crumbled on top of the first. This was so that the cap would explode in the dynamite. Then earth was filled in the hole and tamped lightly with the broom handle, a match applied, and we all set out on a brisk walking match until we got out of reach. There was a report, and a hole in the ground and pieces of broken rock scattered about the field were all that was left of the troublesome rock. The cash outlay was about nine cents, and the time of making the ex- plosion was about fifteen minutes. There was the broken stone to be hauled off, Midway down in your intestine, It’s interstices infestin’, Is a little alley, blind and dark as night; Leading off to simply nowhere, Catching all stray things that go there, As a pocket it is simply out of sight. It is prone to stop and grapple With the seed of grape or apple, _ Or a little button swallowed with your pic. Having levied on these chattels, Then begin internal battles That are apt to end in mansions in the sky. Once located never doubt it, You will never be without it, Old heart-failure and paresis Have decamped and gone to pieces, A 1d dyspepsia has fallen by the way. Then stand back there, diabetes, Here comes appendicitis . With a breed ofminor troubles on the mug; So, vermiform, here’s hoping, You’ll withstand all horrid “ doping ” And earn the appellation, “ Uncrowned King." â€"Ashton Grade. - Buying Canaries. â€"â€" run cannon THAT CAME ovna A YOUNG DIPLOMAT'S FANCY. One of our Washington bird mer- chants tells a good story to illustrate the wavering course of young love’s fit- ful fever. Something over a year ago a swell young diplomat, wearing a trim little white top-coat over his dress suit, HIGH as INEXPENSIVE AND LABOR SAVING GLASS Frost & Wood, Smith’s Falls.

She ces beautiful. aryâ€"ze vcrra fines’ you haf. How much ces zat canary ?” “ The price of that canary,” said the bird store man, “ is $5.” “ Oh, zat ees not enough I I vant ze vcrra fines’ canary you haf.” The dealer went again to the shelf where he kept his stock of yellow song- sters and brought out a bird the price of which on ordinary occasions was the same as that of the rest. He would have been glad any time to get a 85 bill for him. “ There,” he said, “is an exception- ally fine singer. That is a trained bird. The price is $15.” “ Oh, zat ecs zc bird! Now ze cage.” He bought a 810 cage, and, leaving directions where the bird and the cage were to be sent, rushed out as fast as he came, evidently thoroughly satisfied with his purchase. A few days ago the same young man came into the store and again asked for a canary. The dealer’s eyes snapped. He saw another chance to sell a 815 bird in a 810 cage. . Ilc briskly set not the finest canaries he had and gave stiff prices on them, but the diplomat didn’t warm up a bit. Ile shrugng his shoulders and kept .~aving: “ Too much! Too much I" Finally he threw up his hands and expostulated : 3," Zoe price cos too‘ high. Ilaf you a cheaper bird ? Zis canary one not for a beautiful young lady. I am married now, and a 83 bird vill do.” The dealer made the best of the situ- ation and sold him a 83 bird and a $2 cage. and he trotted off seemingly as happy as he was a year ago after pay- ing five times as much for the same thing.â€"Il'ashington Star. 0. His Opinion Unchanged. Two citizens of Nebrasca were conght in one of those violent funnel shaped clouds. and us they scootcd along in the midst of ruins of buildings and flying [rut-é one of them remarked : “ This-is the worst cyclone I ever saw." " Ignorant man I" cried the other in tones of scoru that were almOst drowned by the roar of the storm. “ Can’t you distinguish a cyclone from a tornado? Are the tcachirgs of science altogether lcs‘. upon you ? This is a tornado. and as described by Professor Lovelaud and Meteorologist Gore, it isâ€"” . Just then a church steeple transfixed the speaker. and he perished in great agony. while the other man drifted on fdr ten miles or so and was dumped softly into a sand bank. As he brushed the sand out of his teeth and ears he remarked : U Well. that was the worst cyclone I ever saw."â€"â€"â€"i\"cbms.ka State Journal. but in this case he sold the stone for 50 cents a perch, so that what he got for the stone more than repaid him for hauhng. Often a small rock, say three or four feet in diameter, will be turned out of the hole but nor broken ; then a stick or two is laid on the top of the rock and a bucket of mud (with all the small stones carefully taken from it) is placed on the dynamite, the charge fired as before, and a broken 'stone is the result. The thing wherein the most failures by bc~ ginners are made is not putting enough dynamite under the rock. One blast I saw was a case in point; after the blast the stone was in almost the same posit- ion as before, but we saw by the impres- sion on the soft earth that the stone had rolled to the hole and had almost rolled out, and then for want of a half stick more had rolled back again. Put enough under to do the work, or you lose all that you do put under. Anoth- er caution is to get as far away from the rock as the fuse will let you, or else get behind some tree and close-up to the trunk. I saw a shutter of a house broken by a blast that was fired fully 100 yards away. This was, of course, an exceptional case, but one does not want to get hit, even by an exceptional piece of rock. 0-. Overfeeding is Dangerous. Overfccding of fattening hogs is a fruitful source of disease and waste. Many think it makes no difference if hogs do leave a lot of feed at one meal, that they will return and eat it up when hungry, so that there is nothing wasted. If hogs are overfed it knocks them off their regular feed for a time, and this is always a loss; besides, it renders the inception of disease much easier, especi- ally the “thumps” and apoplcxy. It is best to feed regularly, at stated times, and when fattening, all that they will eat up clean. They will keep better and thrive better than is possible by keeping feed before them all the time. It is what the animals digest and assim‘ ilate and not whntamouut they eat that determines the gain in proportion to the amount of food eaten.â€"Colcman’s Rural ll’orltl. ‘- The Egg in Medicine. In medicine the shell of an egg is used as an antacid, being better adapt- ed to the stomach than chalk. The white of an egg is an antidote in cases of poisoning with strong acids or corro- sive sublimate. Tho poison will coagu- late the albumen, and if these poisons be in the system the white of an egg. if swallowed quickly, will combine with the poison and protect the stomach. An astringent poultice is made by cans. ing it to coagulate with alum. This is called alum curd. and is used in certain diseases of the eye. The yelk of the egg is sometimes used in jaundice, and is an excellent diet for dyspeptics. ’ A feed rack for sheep should be wider at the bottom than it is at the top. Those who stuck to sheep through the years of depression are reaping their re- ward. A man can get now as much as $5 a head for ewes that brought only half so much two years ago.
