A clerk in a retail drng store pointed to the above strange word, written on a mall piece of paper that was pasted in a crap book. The thick book contained more than a hundred puzzling orders that bad been reoeived at tha store and saved as literary curiosities. There it is. Now tell what it means," said tbe clerk, defiantly, addressing a newspaper friend. When the reporter had confessed his inability to translate "Ogsattegossett" into English, the clerk explained: "The peruon who wrote that wanted oxalic acid. We were some time, how ever, in understanding the order. The Latin perscriptions of physicians are not ho hard to decipher aa tbe written ap plications for drugs we frequently get from unlearned people. Ily experience we learn to read the latter, but I must confess we have to study some of them a long time. For instance, take this one: 'Avis chutara pills.' You would not sup pose that this means 'Ayer's cathartic Cills.' Here's another: 'Seona moue.' I ad to ask several questions of the per son who presented this before I discov ered that senna and manna were wanted. There on that page yon see 'Rox yclu pereillacco ' which was Bomebody's way of asking for a box of yellow bbsilcon. This 'Tinker mur' stand, or coure, for tincture of myrrh; and this one, 'Grose of sepliment, for corrosive sublimate. Many of these other ones you will under- Bianu ai once.

Fifty years ago farmers depended al most entirely upon tho products of their farms for the supply of thttir tables, and largely for their clothing. A writer in the Bon ton Journal thus sketches the raising of the raw material for garments and the process of manufacturing them ut tho furm house: Every farmer kept a flock of shoep and wool constituted a large proportion of the clothing of the family. It was carded, spun uud woven at home, and made into garments for both sexes. Tho best clothes for the men and boys were mado of what wbw called "fulled cloth." This was made at home of the finest material, and taken to tho mills known as "fulling mills, "where it was put through a process of thickening, dyeing and fin ishing. The women used to wear gowns of cloth called "pressed woolen." This was simply home-made flannel, takon to the mills above named aud there pressed so as to preseut n (lossy surface. Every farmer hud a small patch of flax. This was pulled and spread out in rows on the ground, "rotted," and then "broken" and "swinged," and was thu prepared for tho combing, curding, aud tho "littlo wheel," aa tho muchino was called en which tho tlax ws spun, to dis tinguish it from tho larger machine for spinning wool. It was woven icto cloth for table-covers, toweling, shet-tiug and shirting. The "tow," which was the coarse portion combed out on tho "hetehel," was spun Into aeour.NO yam, of which a cloth was made for Summer suits for men aud boys. Tho tow skirt, so commonly worn, wa when new, un instrument of torture to the wearer, us it wa full of prickling spiues left fiom too woody part of tho stalk. I Tho tailor of tho old days, with his ! goose, traveling from house to house to j make up tho clothes for the meu and boys or to cut and fit them for tho gossiping "tuiloress" to complete is not kuowu to the present ceuorutiou. tO.rIK FOOU.sll ItllNiiS.

Tbe scarcest hair is pure white, and Us value ia con stantly increasing, and if it ia unsually long, that is, from four to five feet, the dealer can get almost bis own price, while if it's of ordinary length it is worth from $75 to 8100 an ounce. Tbe fact that pure white hair is the conrt coiffure in Europe keeps the demand for it very high. Moreover, it is much prized by American women whose own hair is white, and who desire to enrich its folds, for white hair is held to give certain dis tinction to the wearer. There is no fanoy market for gray hair. It ii too common. It is used to work into wigs of persons who are growing old. What i j -i i 1 1 i... : j,. is oescrioea as guiueu uuu, m cnuei a washed-out pale red, or a dull blonde. The Bold color so much valued has no relation to red hair, except in the vividness of its coloring. The de mand for tbe virgin gold color is great in tbe capitals of Europe. A woman who gets a coiffure of it is considered fortu nate. A young Brooklyn lady of much beauty possesses a splendid wig, which she chanced to find in a shop in Nice. She was a blonde, but had a scanty sup ply of dull hair. It did not take her an instant to decide to have her hair cut short and to wear the wig. There are four tvpo colors of hair white, blonde, bluek and brown and each of these lias been sub-divided into sixteen different shades. The common est types are black aod brown, and these are cheap. Golden brown is much in favor, as ia pure black, or what is called Lhio black, or whose natural hair, streaked with gray shows in contrast with tbe false covering. Next to pure white hair the demand is for hair of the color of virgin gold. There are many braids made of hair colored to meet tbe demand with certaia preparations, but they prove unsatisfactory. Many foolish women have sought to change the color of their own tresses, bnt they have uniformly repented the attempt. A fine suit of hair of the purest blonde type will sell from $300 to $500. It is said thut the Empress Eugenie paid 1000 francs an ounce for a braid of golden hair that exactly matched her own. The largest supply of hair comes from Franco, Switzerland, and Germany. The country fairs are attended by agents of merchants in London, Paris and Vienna, who ingratiate themselves into the favor of young girls and persuade them to Kill their tresses for glass ornaments or other gewgaws. Only at intervals is a prize like a perfect suit of golden hair ob tained, and it i said thut there are or ders ahead in the shops of Paris and London for all the golden hair that can be obtained in the next seven years. When a stock of hair is collected by traveling agents, it is assorted, washed aud cleaned. Then each hair is drawn through the eyi of a nedle and polished. When tho stoek is ready for the market in Europe, the nobility is permitted to make first choice. tnshlouabln Fluor lorrrlRg. Carpets now show improvement in styles and patterns. Small figures are iu demand and, in fact, large ones can not he found in the stores where ancient stock is not kept. There was a time when a room of tlio ordinary flat size wouldn't show a single figure complete. In some of the patterns now shown small designs aro crowdod together in wonder ful hurmony of color and device. Many a treasured old tapestry has less art thau tho ordinary carpeting of the present day. Somo are veritable pictures that can be studied for hours without growing famil iar. Somo of tha favorite designs repre sent ferns, leaves, branches and foliage in symetrical entanglement. Rordeis are Btill used, and often are wholly dif ferent from the body, though harmoniz ing with it. A feature of our carpet stores just now i tho display of Oriental mattings. Not only are they bought to put down in snmmer residences, but they are coming iuto use in chambers of city houses. A bedroom provided with white china matting with a half breadth of colored check for a border, and a Turkish rug in tho center is quite correct. Another thing for tho center of tho sleeping room if the sloeper be nn unmarried woman, is a small bed. This i a bran new affecta tion. A brass bed-stead, a trifle larger than the woman, and not much wider than her greatest breadth, is placed in tho middle of tho apartment and fur nished with the dantiest possible bed clothes; but everything about the affair must be perfectly plain, desiro beiug to suggest tho utmost simplicity on the part of the maiden. Sometimes a cot is useJ, mid, if the occupant be a light weight, she selects a structure of frail design, so as to prove how airy and fairy slio is. Dissiputct't Hies. " I'hem ar' llies is old topers, ever) one of 'em" said a Dock street beer-drawer, hs ho handed over u gins of the forming beverage to a thirsty reporter every iitws;iiH-r ollloe has a thirsty reporter. "Yes, '.hey are topers," he spoke up, as ho drew tho reporter's uUeution to a s warm of flies that were regaling them selves in a trough from the dripping of a spigot. "Now, what I tell you is the truth; them ar' iiies driuk a pint of beer every day, uud then they go and siber up. See that netting over those pictures? Well, the flies comodowuand till up;then they shut one eye like a drunkeu fellow going for a lamp post, and start tor that netting. Sometimes they don't make it, and fall to tho floor, where they lie until they sober up. You're laughing," put in the bar chemist. "I mn not," re plied the reporter; "I ara taking it all in." "Well, they dick their feet in the holes in tho mosquito netting, and sort o' tangle their legs around it. You see they feel pretty limber, so 'taint no trouble, and they hang till the bugle passes out of their heads. That's so. Do you know I've got an idea some of those pesky nice go out and bring iu tneir friends? Them Hie drink a pint of beer a day: that's over a gallon a week. Now Uiere'a over a million flies on that netting how much does it take to make each one tight? Here's aslato," aod the l)eer-slinger bunded it to the reporter to figure it out. Just then the clock struck four, and ten thousand of the topers started to the beer trongh with a whirr, to take a nip Wfore supper. Some of them drank long and deep, and then lay upon their backs and kicked vigoronglv. Philadelphia Record. Mm ut BU Buttons. Did you ever see a man in tbe solitude and privacy of his study attempt to stw .t t- ia ri I ni. i on a button iy uimseu r it ia iu au it oe tails one of the most interesting perform ances in the world. First, he bunts for a button. Generally to secure it I e robs Poter to pay Paul, and cuts one from an other garment. This button may be much larger or much smaller than the size he is wearing. Next be bunts a nee dle. Probably he goes ont and buys a paper of needles. He always chooses the largest needles, having an impres sion that large needles will sew stronger than small needles. As to thread, be gets tbe coarsest he can find, and this he doubles. Ho would thread his needle. He takes his needle in one hand and his ooarse black thread in the pther. He bites off the thread to the desirable lengt j. Then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Generally in this he succeeds in making two and sometimes three fine points out or one end. CM course he can't get all these points through the needle's eye at once. He trios hard to make that needle and thread get on frieudly terms with each other, but they won't. They don't want to get ac quainted. They do not wish to hove any thing to do with each othor. Sometimes it is tbe needle that kicks; sometimes tbe thread. Sometimes he imagines he bus really threaded bm needle. It l an ocular delusion. The thread ha missed the needle's ey by half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood. At last tbo noodle is threadeJ. Now he tries to sow the button on with out taking his trousers off. This proves a failure. He twists himself into an un comfortable position, and so would sew. Rut he can't sew so. He runs the needle into himself. And tho contrary thread always insists in fouling or ou doubling round the next button. Then one part of the doubled thread won't work harmo niously with the other part. One part draws through the button's eye first, and leave tbe other part ln-hind. Then it gets bitched up, and tho embassador swears. Or the needle breaks; and then he swears. He may not swear audibly; but the recording angol knows what is going on inside of hiin, and debit him every item. He bow hard. He has for gotten all abont tho necessity for a thim ble. He jams hi thumb down on the needles head, aud it punctures the thumb or runs under the nail. By and by he sews the button's eye full of thread. His big needle won't pass through any more. Ho niui-t stop. He ends by winding the thread as many times as it will go under the button, and perhaps he leaves off with two or three inches of thread Buck ing outside. A woman can, through muny outward directions, tell when a man has been trying to sew on a bntton. He doesn't know the Bhibbolethof needle and thread, and it catches somewhere every time. At last the button is sewed on, and he is proud of his work. - A B.'nck (quutlei's D.gnlty. Fifteen miles out of Chnttanooga, on the Bridgeport road, I came upon a ne gro squatter. Tho cabin was a structure of poles which a man could have pushed over, and the roof was simply a lot of straw and weeds and bushes throwu upon the rafters and held down by large limbs. -The one room was not over twelve feet square, and in this, with no floor but the earth, lived a family of niue. There wore two straw beds, one chair, one old table, three plates, one kuife, one fork, two spoons, aud a bowl. It had been raining, and part of the earthy floor was a mud puddle. The family had about live pounds of meal aud throe or four of bacon, and of all the patches one ever saw the greatest bIiow was i ight there. The old man had thir- seeu patches on one leg of his trousers, eleven on the other, seven on his vest, and his cotton shirt was patched in a dozen places with red, vellow, and white and blue woolen. Tho old woman's dress looked like a crazy quilt, and two of the boys had only ono trousers leg apiece. "Great Scots! but bo.v do you live? I asked whilo one of the boys was water ing the horso. "Lib, sail, how uoes we lib? repeated the old man; "Well, sah, we is gainiu' on it right smart. I reckon its gwine to be a good y'ar fur poo folks." "What do you raise? "Chil'en an' dogs, sih!" he soberly replied. "Do von work anv? "Only when I feels like it." "And ithis all your furniture?" "Well, p'raps dar may be a cha'r out behind de cabin." 'Anil these are ull the clothes you hav-?" "Yes, sah, 'cept one o' my olo hats on ,lo roof." "Aud you call this living, do you?" "See heal), soli," he began, as he roso up from his seat on a leg near the door step, ' 'pears to me like you was iuqnirin' a luetic too much!

The animal iu this ease is owned by a party residing within a few rods of this office, and the facta come directly from the family. The dog is a white terrier of a mot affection ate disposition, nud when 6he meets a stranger to whom she takes a fancy, she will go to turn, Mt up on her bind legs and reach out her paw for recognition. A day or two since a boy eulkd at the side door to beg f jr something to eat. Th- dog trottod to the door, with the seiai.t, who told the beggar that she had nothing. "Give me only a piece of bread ," said the boy. The girl answered that i'uev wero out of bread, and that she was baking at that time. Meantime the dog was momentarily missing, but re turned quickly bearing in her mouth a largo piece of bread thut had previously been thrown to ber to eat. She went di rectly to the boy, extended her paws, with the bread in tier mouth, and offered it to him as intelligently as any mute being could do. The girl was actually frightened at this remarkable exhibition of intelligence on tbe part of a dumb an imal. Rochester, (N. Y.l Union. A man on tbe shady side of life likes to walk in the sun.
