A stjry is going the rounds about tic trials and tribulations of a couplo of young ladies well known in society. On is the daughter of a prominent whole sule merchant and tlio oilier a lucinlier of an old I'rcuoli family. The latter was one of the prettiest of the brides maids at a fashionable wedding tins week. It was on a bright slushy il y within the past fortnight, that the fair maidens set out to visit a frt. ad who resides beyond ( nuatiiie plae-i. 'I hey had o horse and the surrey tfl go with him. On this biiglit, particular day, howewr, the'surrey appeals to have been obstreperous ar.d not disponed to go with the horse. It monad along nicely enough until they were w.uio di.i. tanco out when Iho vehicle form u u sudden attachment for the mud in the road ami decided to remain with it. The tiercti fore obedient surrey refused to be- separated fron its new found 1 ive. 11l vain did the horse endeavor to win back the vehicle's affections. It obdu rately clung to the mud. That the ani mal might press his suit under more fa vorable auspices, as a desperate meas use, both got out iulo the mud and uiire. Hut the fickle surrey still remained in the mud's fond ombraoo. V tug at the wheels resulted in uuught but, tjic soiling of kid gloves. This left the young ladies in u sad predicament. What should t'ley do? They cogitated oil the knotty problem, but could think of only one way out of the dilemma. That was to unhitch the horse and ride to their friend's housj for assistanco. It was a desperate resort, but there was nothing else to be done. On attempting to do this they had sunk to their ankles in mud. After a desperate tusscl they it leased their feet, but their rubbers re mained deep down in the onre. Final ly the horse was unhitched. They de termined tn both ride liini to the home of their Iricnd. To bold on t!ie\ had to straddle the animal, otic sitting behind tne other. An out of the way i >vl was chosen tc avi .d observation. As the fates would have if, A bend HI the read brought them rather sudder.ly upon a pirty ol hunters returning home. They proved to be a party of gentle. an friends. One might liuve thought a par ty of gentleuieu friends would be a god send to u couple of uiaidoas in such a plight, but the young ladies not regard them so. They were the last people on eaith they wished to meet at such a moment. As glances of mutual surprise and re cognition passed a titter arn>e from the hunters, while deep crimson blushes suf. fu»ed the faeei of the maidens. Their clothing was i.i a very dilapidated con dition. The bottom of their drosos nod the whole of their shoes were cover ed with mud, and all told thoy present ed a most forlorn sight. Then their po sition astraddle a li messed hotse was not graceful, to say the least. It made their dresses strike them decidedly higher than wcli mannered drosses are generally supposed tc be. Tliio was de cidedly awkward. It was some tmie before either party recovered from the'r surprise. When they did the young men brought the young ladies their vehicle mid sent them un their way, but not rejoicing. Before departing they extracted a solemn prom ise from CJCII man in the party that he would never lisp a woid of whet had oc curred— i promise which every mother 's son of them has been assiduously viola ting.—St. Louis Pat- Dispute lIOW TO KAI.SKONIONS.

MADSTOXHS. The Dcs Moines (Ia.) leader tills of a ui'i'latolie belonging to one Turner I'lvans, of l'uris in tliut." tato, which h:i.s earned a fortune for its owner, curing, as lliut paper alleges Ihu must viulent tjpa of hydrophobia. It sais: I " his vuluuble litilu static was for merly owned by a gentleman i.i \ irgiu i ", whore it is sai l to have effected wou derlul cores during the past. 130 years. ; 11 LAS been in the bands of the present owner fur over thirty yaars. During | this time it has been tcsied several limes , and bus always givi-n entire satisfaction, ntver failing to effect a cure." ; On one occasion which the Leader re | port* Evaus informed one 1). (J. Mctiii I leu a patient, t hat it' Ihe "hydrophobic j poison i» in his system the ttono.would ] hold fast to the spot which he (Kvans) ; had scratched ou his arm (lie had been | bitten in the huudbut i( he wasn't Inoe i ulatod with Ihu fatal poison, it would not j stick. In this case Mctjillen said "it stuck like a leech," and that when ro i moved it was full of n greenish fluid tint luoked "like the scum on a pond in August,''which the operator said 'was poison that had been laken from the system. Wu copy again : "When the stone had been soaked for a few minutes in a Luth coinpo- d of übi'it one part milk aul threo of water it applied. This operation was repeated for about seven hours, after which the styne would not adhere, and the operator pronoonc -d the patient out of danger. McGillan described the stone as a whiteish, spongy looking lit tle thing, not larger lhan a filbert, cone shaped and full of fine pores. A Mr. Hunec of Mechanicsville, this state, had ilie stone applied something like seven huudrcd times bcfoie nil the poisou was drawn from the system, the tunc con sumed for these operations bciug some thing like twenty.ilnee hours." We have no faith in the use of the liridstonc, fer the greater number of per son# so treated may be composed of those who would have escaped being attacked With hydrophobia tlioiSgh tliev hud nol been trente lat all. Hunter says that iu oue lustancc of twenty-one persons bitten by a rabid dug only one was at tacked with hydiophoota: aud Dr. Ham ilton is of the opinion that the propor tion is oue to twenly-fivo. Wc doubt if any sei -utitiu authority can be referred to in support of its use. The period tliut elapi's between the reception of the bite of a rabid dag and the outbrcuk of the disease varies much, the greater number of cases occur between between t lie SJOth and .'SUili day; some occur ear lier, aud a few as laic as six, seven, nine, ind even nineteen months after the re ception of the wound. If we except the new inoculation treatment of I'astour >n in l'aris, tl.e only sure way is the excis ion (cutting out) of the part bitten, either by tukirg a bit of wood sharpened to a likeness of a dog's tooth and llirust ing it into the part afid then cut ling" out without letting the knife come iu con tact with the wound. Where this can not be done, caustics such as uilric acid, strong liquid ammonia, or lunar caustic, may be freely employed to burn out the part bitten. Farm Talk S.MKTIIIMI OF INT Kit EST FOR THOSE WHO TIKI. TJIJP Soil.. MottE I'EAS FO I FF.ED.—TIio increas ing knowledge tnuong farmers of the value of albuminous food, naturally di. reels attention lo peas. They are bet ter for growing pigs and for tarly fat tening than torn. The pea shades the ground and undoubtedly exhausts the soil less than most other grains. In wheat-growing section a crop of peas fed down by hogs was regarded formerly as an excellent preparation for whea*. If the laud w is fine from tl isles il was considered ncai ly as good for the wheat crop to grow peas on it, as it was to have a naked fallow. Hut as weeds couio in peas have gone out of fashion, it is hard to keep pea land clean, even when the peas arc in ruws wide enough to admit cultivation. The pea vines grow unevenly, no that one is apt in honing to cut them off before seeing them. For icason, when grown in field culture, I ens nie generally sown or drilled in thickly enough to cover tlie entire surface. This will keep the weeds down early in the season, aud until the pea vines begin to shrivel and dry up, but the grounii can be cleared of its crop and plowed before the latter weeds ripen then sc.'ds.—Ann rican Cutlimtor.
