A well known Washington'-incr- j

interest the corn making its way
from the hopper iuto the heart of the
stone and then spurt out into warm
white jets into the trough. Ho wont
outside and saw the wator pour over
and turn the huge overshot wheel
and peered with a sensation Ot ier
into the dark, mossy cavern into
which the wheel was forever retreat
ing. On rising at a little distance he
spied a log cabin, and shortly wan
dered over through the brush in that
direction. A rail fence stopped his
progress a couple ot rods from the
doorway; and he leaned over and
looked. 'There, sitting outside the
door on a bench, were two girls. One
was spinning wool and the other
knitting. They were the most beau
tiful things he had ever seen, and he
nearly died right there. They saw
him aud burst out laughing at his
remarkable appearance. He didn't
know what to do, but thought it was
probably the proper thing to stare at
them and laugh back, which he did
with interest This mutual enter
tainment kept up for some ten min
utes, when one of the girls laughed
so hard she roiled off the bench. He
thouuht that was queer, but just thou
he felt something cold on his leg.
He turned around. As he did so
both girls shrieked with laughter and
ran into the house. He found that
the cold thing on his legs was the
muzzle of a bull calf that was cheir
inc away vigorously on what was
lsft of the rear of his dress, ahich.;
had been shockingly mutilated ty tbe
animal during the few minutc3 he was
staring at the girls.
He has seeu more girls since and
hears their smiles with greater equan
imity. He is also one of the best
dressed men in Washington, but that
experience with the bull calf and the
gins wiil never be effected from his
memory.
Ten Hints For the Hoiiftowife.
A scientific journal gives ten good
things worth kuowiug:
Salt curdles milk and should not be
added until the dish is prepared.
Clear boi'in water will remove
fruit and tea stains.
Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and
other stains from white cloth and
also from the hands.
A tablespoon! ul of turpentine added
while boiling clothes wiil tid the
whitening process.
Boiled starch is much improved by
the addition of a little sperm, sale or
dissolved gum arabic.
That beeswax and salt will make
rusty flat irons as elean and smooth
as glass.
Blue ointment and kerosene, m
equai proportions, applied to bed
steads is an untailing bag remedy.
Kerosene will soften boots and
shoes when nardened with water and
t en Jer them pliable.
Kerosene will make tea kettles as
bright as new; satuiate a woolen rag
and rub with it.
Cool tain water and soda will re
move machine grease from washable
fabrics.

Washinc.tj.v, July 15. Senitor
Sherman's friend ex-Congressman
Alono Hart of Ohio, has at last re
ceived the appointment which was
was tcndeicd hi in early in the admin
istration, and was afterwards, for
some reason hung up until now. It
will be rcmernbtiv-d that Senator
Clay had a candidate tor the same
position. Solicitor t intci i.al revenue,
and tint he was juite anry when he
fc uiui that the place had been offered
to Hart. The nan that Senator
Clay indorsed for the position has
Ions a'o been appointed to a better
oue, while air. Hart patiently waited
and wisely kept his mouth closed.
He evidently believes in the aphorism
"all tkings come to him that waits."
Secretary Knsk has issued a very
large edition of "Farmer's Bulletin
No. 1," a sixteen page pamphlet ex
planatory of the work of the experi
ment stations of tiie department of
Agriculture. It shows that the
United States is ahead of the world
in the interest it shows in helping tke
farmers improve their condition by
bringing them the aid of science. The
pamphlet should be read by every in
telligent farmer, it may be obtained
upon application to the department.
The steam plate printing presses
have all been removed from tke
bureau of Engraving and Printing,
Secretary Windom having decided
against allowing them to remaia.
The plate printers are consequently
happy.
Secretary Rusk has removed W.
W. W. Browie, State Agent of the
Agricultural department ftg. Mary
land, and abolished tbe office, for the
reason that he information desired
can be obtained by regular employees
of the department here for less money.
