A teacher having forgotten to take with her an article she wanted, sent one of her scholars and told him to ask her mother for the catalogue. She repeated the word, and, tearing that he might for get it, she explained that it was a list of books. Johnny went promptly en the errand, and told the mother that "Miss Jones wanted the cat an'-dog." "The what?" "The cat-an'-dog," emphatically. "lou are a real good bov," said the mother, approvingly, "to come with th errand, but we haven't a cat i r dog in the world." Johnny looked blank an lustant and then blurted out: "Twas the nest o' books." "Oh!" And he got the catalogue. A Male Flirt. now often do the masculine wiseacres admonish girls not to flirt, alleging as a reason for this that there is great danger of breaking some poor fellow's heart by such cruel conduct. From a request so frequently reiterated some weak-brained novice might suppose that hidden object within the bosom of the sterner sex was made of blown glass and encased in jeweller's cotton or tissue paper. Whereas late anatomical examinations made by some of the female graduates of a surgical institute proves that safely guarded treasure in the breast of a certain class of men to be a solid ball, formed of a sub stance resembling vulcanized India-rubber. It may be pierced, crushed, and hammered with Herculean forci', but when released from pressure, it will im mediately rebound and assume its origi nal proportion. In view of this established fact, I would advise those n disant guardians of young ladies to turn their attention to that c!as of the genus homo ycleped male flirt. There is missionary woik for tho philan thropist. But, alas! in these latter days no valiant champion will wage war against his sex, or engage iu single com bat with that herd of tame beasts who infest society under the garb of honorable men. Therefore, it becomes woman's duty to expose tho false brotherhood tos the scorn and contempt ox the honest, noble aud true. Don't imagine, youDg gentlemen, that Margaret Wild wood, spinster, is a brokeu spirited victim of some smooth-tongued villain with an India-rubber heart, nor think that all thesweetnes3 in her nature has acidulated from the ardent glances of his serpent ejes. For you will miss the mirk as far as the boy did who went out to shoot a hawk, but killed his favorite chicken; and, furthermore, you will be laughed at beside when you kneel again to "the merriest girl that's out," and swear to love none else but her. A sensible girl knows the ring of true metal from its counterfeit, and can dis- crimioate between the compliments of a gentleman aud a blockhead's flattery. She says: No flattery, boy ! an honest man can't live by't. It id a sneaking art which knaves Ubo to cajole aud soften fools withal. Still, if the fellow will persist in lying, and tells her 6he is the heroine of his dreams, the idol of his heart, a wingless auijel, etc., ordinary politeness forbids her to contradict him, and knowing it is better to humor a fool than to be plagued with one, she gives him a llolaud for an Oliver, and invariably comes off con queror. The discomfited coxcomb, with his pride and vanity considerably dimin isked, and feeling no larger thau a mos quito, retires from her presence a wiser, it not a better man. Although convinced against his will, he linds that all maidens are not like moths, to be caught by glare. However, he does not possess m ignanimity enough to confess the truth, but will slyly in sinuate to his equally meau confederates that he had amused himself in making love to Miss , but if he had dreamed that she was so much interested in mm, he would have refrained, and spared her poor, tender heart. vain, deluded wretch! lo thin& a srirl who possessed one atom of self- respect could or would give a sigh lor a soulless pigmy who would steal The livery of tho court of Heaven To serve the devil in.

Chivalry has apparently died out with the heroes of the late war. Self-love and self conceit have usurped its place, aud become the bane of society. There fore, to obviate this great national evil, I would say : Girls, come to the rescue, for you alone possess the remedy; and ray advice U, use it with discretion, and make those degenerate sous of noble sires acknowledge your true worth and power. However, young ladies, to insure per fect success in this rebellious undertaking, would suggest hrst the cultivation of your heads and hearts, lhcn flirt when ever you discover "Barkis is willing;" but maintain your dignity: allow no un due familiarity; keep him at a respectful distance, and, if necessary, pelt him with sugar-coated bullets until you demolish his brazen helmet, and show him to the community in his true colors. You will thus become a benefactress to your sex, aud merit the admiration of honorable men. A male flirt! The antipodes of nature's n ibleman. My contempt for the frater nity is too great to rind expression in words. Although lie might be an Apollo in person, a Socrates in wisdom, and a Ctcesus iu wealth, if he were devoid of honor and truth, a crested dragon, or a basilisk, would not4be more hideous in the eyes of a true woman. Maggie Wild wood, in Home Journal.. Natick, R. I., is much excited over the death, from hydrophobia, of John Brown, twenty-one years old, a mill work man. The first symptoms of the disease were noticed Friday noon, 1st inst., when he became faint at the sight of some wa ter, but nothing was thought of it until Saturday morning, when he rose as usual to go to his work, but could eat no break fast, complaining to his mother of a se vere swelling in his throat. However, he went lo tbe mill, but on Saturday after noon, when he went to get some water, and was about to put a glass to his mouth, he uttered a loud scream and fell uncon scious to the fhor. He soon recovered and remained in the mill until noon. In the evening, when the family were seated at tbe supper table, he went into an ad joining room to obtain some water, and was about to taste it, when he Ecramed and ran into a back yard to an old barn, where he was caught and returned to the house. During the night he suffered in tense agony, it requiring the united strength of four men to hold him. Pny siciana were summoned, and on seein that there was no hope for him, adminis tered the usual medicines given to quiet the victim. He lingered until Sunday morning, the 3 i, when death came to his relief. Mr. Brown was bitten in the lc by a small dog about eight months age" on the road near Natick, but nothiri" was thought of it at the time. Babt snows are not profitable as a rule. The Poiladelphia affair lost $500 and paid" none of the offered premiums. The Bal timore imitation came out after the same fashion. The Boston enterprise in the tame line has been abandoned. Only the one in New York, the first of the series, paid a profit. How Matches arc ilade. A match is a Bmall thing. We seldom pause to think, after it has performed its mission, and we have carelessly thrown it away, that it has a history of its own, and that, like some more pretentious things, its journey from the forest to the match safe is full of changes. . The match of to-day has a story far more interesting than that of the old fashioned match. As we have said, much of the timber used in the manufacture comes from the immense tracts of forests in the Hudson Bay Territory. It is float ed down the water-courses to the lakes, through which it is towed in great log raHs. These rafts are divided ; some parts are pulled through the canals, and some by other means are taken to market. When well through the seasoning pro cess, which occupies from one to two years, the pine is cut up into blocks twice as long as a match, and about eight inches wide by two inches thick. These blocks are passed through a machine w hich cuts them up into "splints," round or square, of just the thickness of a match, but twice us lungiu. xnis macrnue is capable, as we are told, of making about 2.000.000 splints in a dav. This number t-cems im mense when compared with the most that could be made in the old way bv hand. Tlie splints are tLea taken to the "p eltin" machine, and this foils them into buudtes about eighteen inches in diameter, every spliut separated from its neighbors by nine spaces, so tnat there may be no sticking together after the "dipping." In the operation of "setting," a ribbon of coarse stuff about an inch and a half wide, and hu eighth of au inch thick, is rolled up, the splints being laid across the ribbon between each two courses, leaving about a quarter of an inch between ad joining spliuts. From the "setting" machine the bundles go to the "dipping" room. After the ends of the splints have been pounded down to make them even, the bundles are dipped both ends iuto the molten sulphur and then into the phos phoru3 solution, which is spread over a large iron plate. Next they are hung in a frame to dry. When diied they are placed iu a machine which, as it unrolls the ribbon, cuts the sticks in two across the middle, thus making two complete matches of each splint. The match is made. The toweriDg pine which listened to the whisper of the south wind and ssvayed in the cold northern blast, has beeu so divided that we can take it bit by bit and lightly twirl it be tween two fiuyers. Bat what it has lost in size it has gained iu use. The little flame it carries, aud which looks so harm less, flashing into brief existence, has a latent power more terrible thau the whirl wind which perhaps sent the tall pine tree crashing to the ground. But the story is not yet closed. From the machine which completed the matches they are taken to the "boxers" mostly girls and women who place them iu lit tle boxc3. The speed with which this is done is surpris'ng. Wilh one baud they pick up an empty case and remove the cover, while with the other they sieze just a sufficient number of matches, and by a peculiar shuffling motion arrange them evenly, then 'tis done! The little packages of sleeping lire are taken to another room, w here on each one 13 placed a stamp certifying the payment to the government of one cent, revenue tax. Equipped with these parses tle boxes are placed in larger ones, and these again in wooden case.", w hich are to be shipped to all paits of the country, and over seas. All this trouble over such little things as matches. Yet on thee lire-tipped bits of wood millions of people depend for warmth, cooked food, and light. They have become a necessity, and the day of flint, steel and tinder seem almost as far away in the past as ave the bow and lire stick of the Indian. How apt to our bubject is that almost worn-out Latin phrase, "multum inparvo much in little! Much labor, much skill, and much usefulness, all in a little piece of wood scarcely one eighth of au incli through, and about two inches long! St. Nicholas. Tub daily consumption of lucifer matches iu France is estimated at the rate of half a di'zen per head of the popula tion; the pioportioa for England is as high as eight, and it reaches nine for Bel gium. Basing the estimate upon that of six per head per diem, the daily con sumption cf these useful little articles throughout the whole of Europe is set down at over two thousand million. The weight ef thee matches varies consider ably, those most in use in France giving about 1.S40 to the pound, while the same weight will yield three times as ninny of the round aud square description common in other countries. Assuming, howeer, 1,700 as the average, the daily quantity of wood consumed ia their manufacture would amount to some 300 tons. Poplar and aspen arc generally preferred for this purpose. The weight ot the former, per cubic foot, when squared and reduced to availablo dimensions, is about twenty pounds. Making all allowances lor loss by sawing and other causes, that arise be fore the wood becomes converted into a marketable article, it is found that out of a cubic foot of rough, unhewn timber, not more than a quantity equal to eigh teen pounds can be practically utilized. It is calculated that more than 50,000 per sons are employed in this industry in Eu rope, one establishment alone in Austria numbering some 5,000 and tho total val ue of the production reaches a very high figure. A Georgia Oikl's II ealtiit Appetite. A party of merry boys and girls got on the train at some station between Atlanta and Macon, bound, for home to spend the holidays. They were laden with pack ages cbutaining oranges, apples and other things, and in evident disposition to have a pleasant time. Shortly after the train was in motion the packages were opeued. The girls were bright, rosy-cheeked, sparkling-eyed maidens, and ranging in ages between sixteen and eighteen years. Their escorts were courteous, manly youths, and having secured seals con venient for the group, proceeded to enjoy themselves, utterly oblivious to the other passengers. One of the young ladies ate two large apples, and commencing on a paper of oranges, in a few minutes di minished the naraller by five, after which she disposed of full a pound of sponge cake, when, her appetite becoming sati ated, she settled back in her seat and very gracefully gave her attention to munch ing goobers, ceasiDg operations when about a piut of fragrant peas had disap peared. Her friends were successful in demolishing what remained, but, in the opinion of the passengers, the blue-eyed, laughing maiden was entitled to the champion ribbon as a healthy Georgia girl- OCR Navy is a bort of fleeting show.

If there is any one branch or department of geueral commerce that is of uiore im portmce to the benefit or welfare of the masses thaa the grocery trad j, then we plead ignorance concerning it. Because it deals exclusively with necessities and not the luxuries of every-d iy life it is the most important. Few cuu doubt that it is nu slight undertaking to supply this extensive court with groceries, and yet it has to be done. That it is done so thoroughly and expeditiously speaks well for the resources and system of the houses here the bulk of the demand of course being satisfied in S.ui Francisco. Many of our merchants devote all their energies and capital to the prosecu tion of the grocery trade. Slatrdinjr w ay up in the list we lind Messrs. Linsley Si Co., of Nos.505 and 57 Sansome street, S.In Francisco. They are wholesale and retail grocers, and carry a stock of wares as full as any house in the country. -None eun make prices lower, and nine out of ten so low. The members of the house are E. W. Linsley and T. J. Sevcrns, who give their personal attention to the business, and iu ull ucpartmeuts being perfectly at home.

In yeast powder the house makes it a specialty in manufactur ing Uieir own brand, and which is a tip-top article, equal to any m?tde. The factory is at the l'otrero, corner of Carolina, Napa and Wisconsin streets, in which only white labor is employed. The yeast powder is put up in tins of 1,4 and 5 pouuds each. Having given the yeast powder a good trial, we can commend it very highly, and do so cheer fully. In wines and liquors the house carry ouly the, finest brands.
