An exchange speaks of a child having “ a 
gash bitten in its leg by a dog four inches 
long/. 1 A dog four inches long is worthy of 
a place in Barnum’s show. It is the smallest 
canine on record.— Norristown Herald. 
A writer says an ordinary beetle can 
draw twenty times its own weight. We have 
seen the insect move a woman weighing 165 
pounds, by simply alighting within half an 
inch of her nose.— Norristown Journal. 
A Certain doctor having heard a village 
poet repeat some verses on a scolding wife, 
was so delighted with them as to request a 
copy. “There is no necessity for that,” said 
the poet. “You have the original.”— Ota¬ 
go Witness. 
Madeleine: “Wasn’t it hot at the John¬ 
sons’ last night? Fred Johnson and I had to 
go out on the piazza, the air got so close.” 
Marguerite (pleasantly): “ Didn’t the heir 
get pretty close out there, too?”— Harvard 
Lampoon. 
Henpecked Husband (reading the paper 
and rocking the cradle): “ Ahem 1 the bustle 
is going out, I see.” Vixenish Wife (who has 
Just finished dressing): “ You bet it is, and 1 
am going out with it You take care of that 
baby till I get back ”— Boston Courier. 
First Kentuckian: “Say, Colonel, there’s 
a Mormon elder down the road preachin’ to 
a crowd o’young women an’ singin: ‘Would 
I Were a Bird!’” Second Kentuckian: “Well, 
I kin furnish the feathers. You git some tar 
to stick ’em on.”— Philadelphia Record. 
“ Longevity? I should say longevity did 
ruu in the family,” said Mrs. Spriggins. 
“Why, John was six foot two, Bill was six 
foot four, and George he had more longevity 
than any man I ever seen. He was six foot 
seven if he was a foot.”— Michigan Farmer. 
“ Vat,” said the collector for a little German 
band to a citizen who sat in his front window, 
“ you no gif noddiugs for dat moosic ?” “Not 
. a cent!” replied the citizen, with hopeless 
emphasis. “Derive blay some more, dat’s 
alj!” threatened the collector, so the citizen 
hdstily gave up a quarter.— The Epoch. 
“ Doctor,” said the patient, “ I believe 
there is something wrong with my stomach.” 
“ Not a bit of it,” replied the doctor, 
promptly. “ God made your stomach, and 
He knows how to make them. There’s some¬ 
thing wrong with the stuff you put into it, 
maybe, and something wrong with the way 
you stuff it in and tamp it down, but your 
stomach is all right.”— Farm Journal.

The Great Skill in the Mapes Manures. 
[PYom the Farm Journal, Wilmer Atkinson, Editor-Philadelphia, May, ISSy.J 
Mapes’ Manures give surprising results to those who use them, and we believe the reason 
is that the ingredients are mixed with brains. It is said, besides, that the raw materials which 
compose them costs Within tern per cent, of the cost of manure ready to apply to the soil. This 
latter statement is apt to be true ; the former we are certain is true. There is great skill 
shown in having the Nitrogen, Potash and Phosphoric Acid just in the right proportion, in 
the proper form, in the right fineness and solubility, so that action is prompt and certain. 
Often the elements in a fertilizer are present as shown by the analysis, but they are not in con¬ 
dition to act, and the benefit is not apparent; but Mapes seems to have everything just right 
and his manures are perfectly sure to do the work required of them. This is our experience.
