What is thia dirt you sweep up, anyway ? ajka a writer in the St. Loaia Globe. The <; nearest siu£f imaginable. Shoald yon bam it in the passat^e. its candescence woold show, with the spectroscope, lines indicatint; almost all known sabstances. The iron lines would indicate the wear from the nails in your shoes. The carbon lines would come from the coal dust, and tha yellow salt lines would only show that chloride of sodium ia always present every- where. But where you have old wall papers, or old carpets, you can bo sare that aome of thia dnsc is several generations old . and if there be not some bacteria of a bad sort, and germs of old fevers with all the rest, I shall be surprised. You have only to mildly exercise your imngination to see minute personal relics of all the visitors you have had ; and, iodeed, year broom will iwiah all the tiarcer when yoa think of it. I do not like such accumulations, nor do I like the necessity of sweeping my neighbors out of doors. Bo I say, as our tirst reform, let <u have hardwood tloors and, as far as pos- â- iblc, wainscoted wall.-,. There ia no artistic re<iuirement that demands ao much piaster, or paste, or paper on our room walls Better still, wo will soon have oar walls of malleable glass â€" and our tloors also. One ia always getting born a little too soon. Yes, there ia no knowing bow many good things we are ourselves too iooa for. Think how it wuuld have been had we been born before window glass was known, and before â€" but bless me ' we came very near being born before coal, and matches, and kerosene, and ranges, and talepbones, and railroads, and nearly everything else, including sewing machines. .\nd wc are certainly ahead of a great many ether line things. How could we have been so foolish ! One can never be too deliberate about such things. And as for malleable glass, I could wait ten genera- tiona to let it get the start of me. It is aura to come. l)ur lloora will then be swvet and clean at the least possible outlay of labor, and our walls will need no decora- tions e.\cept that which is part of the glass itaelf. Marrying fur Splrltuallittic Krventie. Men marry sometimes for various reasons and sometimes for no reason at all, but a Brooklyn dentist assumed the bonds of matrimony not long ago in order that he might transform hia bride into a medium. He was convinced that she posseasod spiritualistic powera that, when properly developed, would astonish the world, and, in an incidental way, bring wealth to his pocketbook. Ilitherto money had literally come to him like pulling teeth, and he believed that plugging the public with spirits could be made more profitable than plugging their molars with gold. He thought, too, that it might be the means of lifting him into an " upper set," as it were, although ho couldn't determine at once what set of spirits hia bride would be the medium for presenting him to. Aa soon as the knot was tied the dentist introduced hia wife in apiritualiatic circlea and commenced the work of develop- ment. But the young bride didn't fancy sitting in a darkened room every day with vinegar-faced women and bald-headed old men to loam the mystery of rape and spirit voices. It wasn't her idea of a honeymoon at all. She expressed a decided aversion to cabinets and jingling bells and tamborinea friaking about in the air. She v/ent so far aa to aay that she wouldn't lecture on spiritualiam or anything else, and soon there was a rupture between her and her husband. Finding that threats and inti- midations had no effect upon what he atyled her obstinacy, he suddenly ([uit her and his dentistry practice together and left for parts unknown. And now the lady is suing for a divorce, and the general impres- sion is she will get it. _ m A VeraclouH Mau. Wifeâ€" What time did you get in latt night, John? Husbandâ€" Two o'clock, my dear.

Siie Kata ;8uine Hay Juat lutTlme to Win , i,' 4,'iOO,000 for a. Poor" Farmer . In September, 1371, Griffith Jones, a farmer of Forestport, (Jneida county, pur- chased at tax aale a tract of 3I>0 acres of land in the town of .Vlleghany,;Cattaraagn8 county, saya an Olean (N. Y.), letter to the New York Sun. The tract was wild and barren, in an isolated region, and its owner, James Hill, had ceased paying taxes on it and had removed from it, Jones, who was a man of limited means, paid J 150 for the property, but after visiting it he concluded that it waa not worth putting any more money in, and he paid no more attention to the purchase beyond securing hia ta.x dead on the 23rd of September, 187.'i, two years after the date of the purchase, which gave him legal title to the land. In 1879 petroleum was discovered in Alleghany. Hill assumed control again of the tract ha had abandoned, and transferreii it to the Bradford Oil Company. This company drilled wells on the tract, and it proved to be a valuable and large pro- ducer of oil. Jones was ignorant of the sud- den great value the tract be held the deed for had been given by the oil discovery until 1880, when it had yielded more than 8300,000 worth of oil, and waa atiil a great producer. Jones bronght ar.it against the oil company in the Cattaraagua County Court to regain poaaesaion of the tract and for an accounting for tha oil that had been taken from it and sold for the profit of the company. The cimpany disputed Jones' title to the property in theclauae in the tax a«le law of New York State, which makes a tax deed invalid if the purchaser does not serve on the occnpant of premises bought at tax sale notice to redeem the same within two years. The oil company as- serted that Hill was occupying the premises when the deed was passed to Jonea, and received no redemption notice within the required time, and the occupancy was claimed aa the novel point of law, that although Hill waa not living on the tract, he had left a qaantity of bay in a ahanty on the place when he moved off of it, which gave him legal domicile. Thia waa the entire defence to the suit, and the Cattaraugus Court decided that if the simple fact of there being hay on th<' place, as claimed, could be eHtablishcd, it would bo ample proof of occupancy in law, and would destroy Jones' title to tha property. The trial resulted in favor of the oil company in 188°2. A new trial was granted, ana Jones proved by six witnesses that on the '2'Jnd of September, 1873, one day before be became entitled to the property under the tax deed. Hill's cow had entered the shanty and eaten all the hay that Hill left there, thus depriving Hill of legal domicile, and leaving no one in occupancy on the premises of whom redemption notice could be served. By this act of Hill's cow Jones' title to the pioperty was established, and Jones obtained a verdict for an accounting for the oil, which amounted to nearly *.'jOO,000. The oil company obtained an order for a new trial, but Jonea waa again auccessful, and his judgment was a.'Hrmed by the Gen- eral Term, and a decision had just been given by the Court of Appeals sustaining all the points in the case m favor of Jones. Chauncey Uepeiv :tnd the Cemetery. A few days ago Mr. Depew, one of the prospective candidates for the United States I\epublicau L'reaidantial nomination, made a speech in Detroit, iu which the following funny paaaage occurred : There is one thing abouta Westeri town â€" I mean away up in the Northwestâ€" that pleases me beyond anything in the 1 nited States. 1 do love in the annual tour that I make to strike, away up a thouaaiid miles from here, a booming town where everybody has got rich in reality, and profoundly rich in imagination, where lota are selling at J'2,000 the front foot one day and 5 1,000 tlie next day. 1 stood last fall in one of those towns up near the Arctic circle, upon a lot which had sold the day before for 51,000 a front foot, or more than they charge on Fifth avemio in New York. The proprietor of it took me out on the lake to show mu the city, for, he said. " the mud is so deep in the streets I can- not show it to you in any other way." (Laughter.) And a.s he wa^ pointing out this lot and telling me the marvellous prices they had brought, I aaid to him : " You aeem to have everything but a ceme- tery. I a it because land ia -o acarce here that you throw your dead into the lake 7" •' Oh, no," said he. " Where you aee that solitary white ^tone up yonder was the cemetery, but it became so valuable we had to dig them up and plant them over the hill. But it was nut an unmixed evil, for the principal avenue ran right by my lot and made it a corner one. I had to take up my wife, but, dear old girl, ahe would have enjoyed it if ahe could have known about it, because she waa alwaya wild about the growth of the town." (Pro- longed laughter.) TIte Itluoily Shirt. The origin of the phrase, " The bloody shirt," ia in a Corsican custom, now nearly, it not ciuite, obsolete. In the days of the fierce vendette â€" tlie feuds which divided Corsican fomily from family â€" bloodshed was a common occurrence. Before the burial of a murdered man the gridata was celebrated. Thia word, which literally means a crying aloud, may be translated 'a wake." The body of the victim was laid upon a plank ; hia uaeleaa firearms were placed near hia hand, and his blood- stained ahirt waa hung above his head. Around the rude bier sat a circle of women, wrapped in their black mantles, who rocked to and fro with strange wailings. The men, relatives and friends of the murdered man, fully armed, stood around the room, mad with thirst for revenge. Then one of tha women â€" the wife or mother or sister of the dead man â€" with a sharp acream, would snatch the bloody ahirt, and, waving it aloft, begin the vocero â€" the lamentation. This rythmic discourse waa made up of alternate expressions of love for the dead and hatred of his enemies ; and its start- ling images and tremendous curses were echoed in the faces iind mutterings of the armed mourners. Wanted a Powerful Doae. This is the order which a little girl brought into a Lewiston druggist's store tbe other day. It waa written on a dirty Diece of note-paper, aa follows : " Mister Druggist ; Please send ipecao enough to throw up a 4-year-old girl." â€" Leieitton Journal. ARE YOU SICK?

Instead ot pancbing plaques women are catting wood panels. The passion for carved hall and dining- room furniture and {or wood over-mantels has something to do with startino tlie cra/e. The tools are easily handled also, and reqaire little muscular strength , only a quick eye, an artistic feeling and a steady hand. It is the proper thing to design and carve the two halves of the bellows for the open tire ; pat a naked child on tbcm, gay, blowing the red coals in a cave of the winds ; or to cut ornaments for the great oak chest that medi.i;val moderns are reviving cbold their wardrobes. Tliere are several classes in wood carving, and many Indies are taking private lessons. There is a niece ot Charles Sumner who became quite an e.\pert, but she has rooms in a hotel and has given up her work because the noise of it distarbed her neighbors. A sister-in-law of Uorace Greeley, a woman of 7i>, is one ot the enthusiasts, talking it ap as Cato did Greek in her old age. ller favorite piece of work ia a carved settle for her hall, and she takes great pride in it. Smaller pieces of work are the rale, panels and tiles tor the side of the mantel and the like, bat carved desks, sideboards and large decorative pieces are not beyond the ambition ot the more aspiring. Une ot the suocessful wood carvers and deaigncra of the sity has it in mind, if possible, to found a achool tor instruction in wood carving, tor the teaching of young women especially, tor whom he believes there is an outlook for paying work in thia line.
