A TRAVELING CHEESE, 
A Boston trader called at a house in Maine 
some time a*0, to buy cheese; but when he 
came to look at the lot, lie concluded he would 
not take it, it was so full of skippers. As he 
was going off the fanner said to him : 
“ Look here, Mister; how can I get my cheese 
down to Boston the cheapest?" 
The t railer took another look at the cheese, 
and seeing more and more evidence of its being 
alive, replied t 
“ Well, let it be a day or two ionger, and I 
guess you can drive it down!” 
Is mounted on wheels 4 ft. high. Spreads about 2% ft. wider than any other Tedder, and Is of easy draft 
for one horse. Spreads from behind the wheels, and does not run over and pres9 down the grass after 
It is spread. It takes hold of the prostrate grass by a forward diagonal movement of the forks, and 
tosseH it lightly and rapidly into the air, thus avoiding breakage of the coating, giving it the advantage of 
an artificial current of air. and reversing Its position on ttie ground. This machine never clogs, and its 
mechanical construction is very accurate and durable, Others do not insinuate their forks underneath 
the grass and toss it up as this does, hut strike It violently, lacerating the coating and frequently by their 
violence causing the grass to wrap itself around them, und thus become clogged.

RATHER DOGGED 
These two stories are more like than likely: 
They tell of one lady in Baris who was so over¬ 
come by her appetite as to cat up her beloved 
lap-dog. After n hearty meal stie looked down 
at the little heap uf bones; tears fell front her 
eyes. “ Poor Bijou I" she exclaimed, “how lie 
would have enjoyed them I" 
There was once a man traveling in a desert 
country, accompanied only by his dog. Becom¬ 
ing pressed at last, by the demands of an empty 
stomach, he cut off the dog’s tall, roasted it, 
gnawed away the meat, und then gave the ani¬ 
mal the bone to appease its own hunger.
