A snEUiFK clerk of Duudee was attend ing a funeral. "How old was our de parted friend " he inquired of a relative of the deceased. "Very old," was the re ply; "I believe he was in his eighty-seventh year." "Not so very old," exclaim ed the lawyer; "if my lather had been alive he would have been 112!" "Understand me, Mrs. Trevor, 1 don't say that your man was drunk, or that he had becu drinkiug even, but my husband says he can prove by three witnesses that they saw him try to pare an apple with a corkscrew in broad daylight, and I thought that looked so suspicious I felt it my duty as a neighbor t come and tell you about it." A gentleman aud a scrub are seated at the same table. The scrub is just fin ishing his dinner; the gentleman just beginning his. The sciub lights a cigar and blows a cloud of smoke over his coflee.

Where is heaven? Where is the help to get out o' this?" A VEur little toy had one day done wrong, and he was sent, after paternal correction, to ask in secret the forgive ness of his Heavenly Father. His oll-.-nce was passion. Anxious to hear what he would say, his mother followed to the door of the room.

Old Lord Elphinstone was asleep at church, while the minister, a very addle headed preacher, was holding forth. At length the parson stopped and cried: "Waukin, my Lord Aphiustoue."

Jute. LETTER OK rKOFESSOU WATEKHOVSE. Dear Sin: My interest in the indus trial welfare of the country induces me to address you upon a subject of great economic moment. Personal investigation in India have fully convinced me that jute can be nat uralized in the United States. The con ditions of soil and climate in Southern States and in California are suited to the j growth of this plant. The commercial importance of jute is now immense. The culture of this staple now adds scores of millions annually to the productive wealth of India. Amid all the vast and diver sified productions of that fruitful land, only cotton, opium and rice exceed jute in mercantile value. In 1872, besides all the domestic consumption of jute, 700, 000,000 pounds were exported to foreign countries. The United Kingdom now annually manufactures more than 800, 000,000 pounds of the fiber. The range of its uses is broad. It now enters into the manufacture of almost every kind of fabric, from the coarsest gunny-cloth to tho finest satin. It is claimed that the culture of jute is less exhaustive to the land and more profit able to the cultivator than that of sugar cane or cotton. Tho plaut grows with rank luxuriance. Sometimes the vield per acre is 3,500 pounds. The cheapnoss of native jute for bags and baling would fae.ilitar th mnv. ment of our crops and the revival of our domestic commerce. The fertility of our soil, the economy of our agricultural machinery, our skilled labor and scien-! tific supervision, and our superior chemi cal and mechanical processes of treat ment, will assuredly enable Americans successfully to compete with the rude manual industry of India in the cultiva tion and manufacture of this important staple. , Planters, chemists and inventors muv I profitably direct their attention to this i "Up to a day before starting 1 con new source of personal and public wealth, j sitter it necessary to walk from fifteen to Improvements in methods of cultivation, J twenty miles daily. I could not keep the in processes of steeping the plant, and I muscles of my limbs hard and solid with in mechanical facilities for removing the bark, would open to ingenious minds un trodden paths to opulence. Perhaps the Middle States, also, are adapted to the growth of jute. Even iu the case of failure, the experiments would involve no serious loss; while, in the event of success, the new industry would enrich the nation. But in order to avoid possible loss, the tests in the Central States should be made on a small scale. The experience of the nreseut season will determine to what extent jute i culture in the United States can profit- j ably be carried. j Jute seed, and practical in,f riu-tu.ns ' with regard to the time of planting and j tne preparation ot the fiber tor market, ! are familiar with my step.

She appears to be in excellent ! spirits. Miss Von Ilillern is not a ready talker, and in conversation requires occa sional assistance from her maid. Says she: "When I was at school in Germany three Tears there was a great deal of interest taken iu walking, and I took pleasure iu entering the contests which were gotten up by the young ladies of my age." "When did you first appear in public in this country?" "In December, 1876, at the Boston music hall, when I succeeded in walking three hundred and fifty miles in six days and nights." "Do you consider these protracted trials injurious?" "Not in tho least. My system of liviug enables me to go through them without strain. I am sure if all the ladies would exercise more la the open air they would enjoy better health. Some of my Boston lady friends now accompany me twenty miles in the country. Whuu I first knew them they would get tired iu five or six miles." "It has been stated that you use no stimulauts?" "No, indeed. That would bo in direct opposition to my theory. I believe one can do more without stimulants than with them." "Have vou auy objections to stat1ur your diet?" "None whatever. I eat rare beef. baked or boiled potatoes, oatmeal, and almost any good, substantial food that is not fried. Pastry I never use; neither tea nor coffee." "What amount f preparation is re walk as you propose quired for such a this week ?" less exercise. "What distance have you walked in public during the fourteen months sdnce your debut?" "About 2,:.")0 miles." "Have you usually been successful? ' "Once in Worcester, Mass., I lost a fifty mile walk by thirty-five minutes. Again in Springfield, the 20th of August the w armest day of last summer I was defeated by time, fifteen minutes and eight seconds iu ft walk of fifty miles." "It would stem that company would aid you. It certainly would relieve the monotouy." No, sir; I never h:ve any one walk with me but my regular attendants, who day she will exercise but litt!e,only atteud- ingchurch. To-morrow she remains abso lutely quiet, seeing no one, but leading and courting sleep as much as possible, in order to be better prepared for fight ing the drowsiness during the long tramp. She never pays any attention to chal lenges from any quarter. She gives hev own exhibitions of health, strength ami endurance, and t ther people can give theirs if they wish. Cincinnati Cotnnur cud.

COURTESY OF BMiCROFT LIBRARY, The Mo3t Precious of Gifts. Health is undeniably a more precious gift than riches, honor or power. Who would exchange it for these, the chief objects of human ambition? It is obviously the part of wisdom to employ means for tho preser vation of health aud tho prolongation f life which time and experience have proved to be reliable. Many of the dangers by which health is threatened may be nullified by the use of that most irresistible of cor rectives and tonics, Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which, by increasing vital power and rendering tho physical functions regular and active, keeps the system in good working order and protects it against disease. For constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint, ner vousness, kidney aud rheumatic ailments, it is invaluable, and it affords a sure defence against malarial fevers, besides removing ev ery trace of such disease from the system.
