Mr. Richard Barker, who will stage "Bluebeard Junior," at the Chicago Op­ era House, has been stage manager for Gilbert & Sullivan's since the appearance of "Pinafore."

Young Roland Stone comes from Kala- maaoo to marry the daughter of Mr. John Smith, of New York. He loses Mr. Smith's address and has to call on every Smith in town before he learns, that the Smith he has been, seeking is the Smith with whom, under an assumed name, he has been traveling since the commence­ ment of his journey. The fun turns on the visit paid by Smith and Stone to one of the beer (gardens of the to wo. Fir* in McHeftry.

Unfortunately there was no in- (surance on either building or contents. Mr. Calkins' loss on contents, consisting of hay, grain, tools and household furni­ ture packed away, was about $^00. The loss Of the barn is estimated at ^500. About the heaviest loss was by Mr. A. Tyler, of Chicago. He had just complet­ ed^ steam "Catamaran," to put upon the river, which had l>een temporare­ stored in sections, in the barn. They succeeded in getting out the tfoats and engine, which were near the door, but tlie deck and upper part was burned. This probably was one of the most elaborate pieces of workmanship of the kind ever seen in this section, nearly four months' time having been consumed; in its manu­ facture, and Mr. Tyler's loss is probably rom $400 to $000. ur citizens responded promptly to the dread cry of fire, and worked with a will to save the adjoining property .ft ire Mure of making it a success.

A CITY girl writes: "It is a fond dream of mine to become a farmer's wife and meander with him down life's pathway." Oh, yes, that is a nice thing, but when your husband meanders off and leaves you without wood, and you have to me­ ander up and down the lane pulling splinters off the fence to cook dinner, and when you meander around in the wet clover in search of cows until your shoes are the color of the setting sun and each stocking absorbs a pint of water; an when you have to meander out'aeros something like twenty acres of plowed ground with a club to drive the hogs out of the buckwheat, and tear your dress on a wire fence; when you meander back to the house and find that the billy goat has butted your child until his head re­ sembles a yellow pumpkin, and find the old hen and sixteen chickens in the par­ lor, the cats in the cupboard and the dogs in the milk, you '11 then realize, dear girl, that this meandering is not what it tis cracked up to be.--Ex.

The skylight at the photograph gallery was broken aud we hear of considerable glass being broken in different parts of the'village.

It is given by a lady whose housekeeping experiences are of many years standing. Get five cents worth of camphor gum and tie up in 3 or 4 packages aud put one in the sugar box (it won't affect the sugar) and the others on the shelves, or any place where the ants are troublesome, and you will never have any trouble as long as the camphor lasts, which will be two or three months. When it has disappeared, get more. It is certainly simple and well worth trying. WE have read a good many stories about Jersey cows, but the following from the Sycamore Republican "takes the cake:" "What Sheriff Holcomb dosen't know about Jersey cows isn't worth knowing, and it is this thorough knowledge and his reputation for truth­ fulness that have enabled him to become wealthy from dealing in that breed of cattle. He has now, however, a cow that is truly a most wonderful animal. She gives daily 31 quarts of milk, he says. The milk is placed in one of the large old-fashioned dish-pans over night: in the morning the Sheriff lays over the accumulated cream a pattern, and with dexterous use of shears, produces in a few minutes a durable, beautiful cream- colored gentleman's vest.
