Oil, lie dresses, the jewels, the tine fripiarries she could indulge me hundred thousand dollars. And Ju litli Pease came near with a glitter in lier brown ayes. "I suppose Aunt Priscilla never tneuiis to die," observed site, witli a shrug of her pretty white shoulders. "She must he seventy, at the least " "Sixty-three," replied Hetty, with the dismay wherewith sixteen re gards three-score and three. "Hut, dear me I she'll live to be one hun dred at the very least. The Muuse wortlis are all a long-lived family." Hetty, Pauline and Judith were cousins and orphans. Hetty copied for lawyers, Pauline did "a little dressmaking," and Judith Pease bore tlie whims and caprices of a rieti relation, who needed somebody to keep her company." And witli all this they laid aunt worth one hundred thousand dollars. Hut even Achilles had a vulnera ble spot, and who wus Aunt Priscilla Mousewortli that she should be tiet in Ur Ilian the fabled hero? Judith Pease had discovered tlie weak place. to lie her heiress yet," "I ean said she. "But how?" chorused the other girls. "Oh, you'll see !" For J udith had perceived that Aunt I'riscilla was "benevolent."— But first in her affections toward the "Home for the Ancient Apple Ven ders and Resort for Penniless Pea nut Girls." "Judith, my dear," said Aunt Pris cilla, "you seem really to have this enterprise at heart" "It's the noblest charity I ever heard of," sighed Judith, in lier most melting tones. "You speak wisely, child," said Aunt Priscilla, patting her niece's head. "What I have to propose is this : That you leave Mrs. Wyllys Wyllougliby and conic and live with me ; and think how useful you could make yourself to the society !" "Oh, Aunt !" said Judith, "I could wisli no greater boon—no higher ob ject in life." Hetty over lier legal cap and Pau lina with needle and silk felt that their wiley relative was outgeneral ing them. "Judith," said Aunt Mouseworth, one day, "if it wasn't for tlie Ancient Apples and Penniless Peanuts I'd almost, feel like adopting you." "I ask no higher sphere, dear aunt, than that which I am now privileg ed to move in," said she, softly.— "Only let me he useful to you. The poor apple women and the dear little bare-footed peanut 'girls are more, far more to me than myself." "Do you really feel that way, Judith ?" "Dearest Aunt Priscilla, can you doubt me ?" "Well," said she, "we'll see, my dear, we'll see." The next day Miss Muusewurtii went out aliino and returned early. Hetty Pensdale was sitting with her niece, when she bounced into the parlor. "I've done it, Judith," said she, ruoblng her shabbily gloved hands. "Done what, Aunt Priscilla ?" "Made over all my fortune to the apples and pernut! 1'vc been Blink ing of it for some tiino. And now, gir'.s, I'm as poor as yourselves. My time can he given uninterruptedly to the mission." "Then, aunt," said Judith, "you are the biggest fool in New York City. Ami I wash my hands of the whole idiotic affair. Wluit pos sessed you to fling away your money on such — a — a— psek of impos ters? How dared you so to delude and deceive me ?" But Aunt Prescilla put forth her hand in a blind, wandering way to catch her niece's dress. "Are you going to leavo me, J u dilh ?" Judith shook oft' the feeble grasp "When I came to live witli you I supposed you had at least common sense,'"retorted she. "I've been de ceived. I'm going back to Mrs. Wyl loughby now," "Judith," cried out impulsive Hetty, "you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Don't mind lier, Aunt Priscilla. I'll Btay with you. I can easily earn enough money, now I've got the Prink & Seebury business, for both of us, and you can visit around the societies where you please." "My dear, you're a good girl," said Miss Mousewortli, patting Het tyV curly hi ed. "Hut let me under stand—was it money, and my money alone that Judith thought of when she came to live with me?" "What else did you suppose it was ?" insolently questioned the girl —"Did you think yourself so attrac tive that — "Ah !" said Aunt Priscilla. "I'm glad 1 comprehended the whole thing. Iletty will stay with me. Hetty won't leave the old woman." "Not unless you send me away, aunt," said the little law copyist. So J udith swept away in the dusk of the winter evening. Aunt Pris cilla looked after her with a sly chuckle. a a " a "Won't she he angry "when site finds out it's all a hoax. 'n''A lion*, Aunt Pi-esoilh» ?" she said, "About tlie apple women and pea nut girls. I dare any they will get some of my money in time, but they haven't got it yet. Judith shouldn't havo thrown up her cards so quickly. Give me a kiss, Hetty." And when she died, just six numtl afterward, not in her bed, like other people, hut sitting bolt upright in her chair, with her beet cap on, she left her one hundred thousand dollars to Hetty Pensdale. Mixed Diet for Fowls. Besides tlie necessity of pure water, a variety of food is essential to tlie health of fowls, and when they are kept in situations where they can not get insect food, some animal matter hashed, rough meat, greens, etc., must he supplied. Buckwheat is fattening, sparingly, and no better egg-produc ing food can lie found. Wheat is acknowledge to he one of the best egg-producing foods. Oats comes next to wheat. Indian corn is fattening, lent lor night food, should be tlie food for setting hens. It keeps up a continual heat in the body of the hen. Rye makes a good occasional food and gives life to the stock. Ground bone and oyster shells form egg shells. Always keep them handy for the fowls. Sand and gravel help the gizzard to chew up the food. Beef scraps mixed with corn meal mush and fed several times a week Feed is I Exccl Iudian corn make e big increase in the egg sup ply. Charcoal fed liberally in small humps brightens their combs and gives them a tonic. It is best to use charcoal made from corn cobs, as wood charcoal is tasteless, and not at all relished. Milk, put in their drink vessels, or given with corn meal scalded in a stiff mass, not only greatly relish ed. hut is very egg-producing. One pound of puris greon to 300 lbs. of dry land plaster is the proper proportion for application to potato vines. Do not let young rose bushes bloom. Give them the whole sea son for growth. Every rose pro duced will he at the expense of growth. Keep the earth always loose around them. An enthusiast says that the silo will make dimples on the faces of a good many dairymen, and that if they fill the silo according to tlie latest light on the subject they will never regret li. Teams should be worked early in the morning and give plenty of time for rest at noon, with nutritious food. By working mostly in the early morning and in the afternoon they will escape tho heat of the noonday sun.

How Some Great Men Die. is Henry I. of gluttony. Henry III. naturally. Edward VI. of decline. Charles I. on the scaffold. Richard III. was killed in battle. George III. as he lived— a mad man. Henry VIII. of carbuncles, fat and fury. George IV. of gluttony and drunkenness. Henry VII. wasted away, as a miser ought. James I. of drinking and the effect of vice.

William the Conqueror from enor mous fat, from drink, and from the violence of his passions. George II. died of a rupture of the heart, which the periodicals of that day termed a visitation of God. Richard Cœur de Lion, like the animal from which his heart was named, died by an arrow from an archer. the poor stags which he hunted. Henry II. ol a broken heart, occa a Edward II. was barbarously and indecently murdered by ruffians employed by his own wife and her paramour. John died, nobody knows how, but it is said from chagrin, which we suppose is another term for a dose of hellebore. Henry V. is said to have died of a "painful affliction, prematurely." This is a courtly term for getting rid of a king. Edward I. is also said to have died of a "natural sickness"—a sick ness whioh would puzzle all the col lege physicians to denominate. Henry IV. is said to have died of "fits caused by uneasiness," and un easiness in palaces in those times was a very common complaint. Living Witnesses. Ask any one who has used Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets as to their merits.

A writer in one of the English papers claims that the practice of ringing swine is one of the principal causes of the production of dispro portionately fat pork, and that as an indulgence of the animal in its nat ural desire for digging and rooting is highly beneficial to the proper development of the production of lean or streaky meat, now so much desired.

General Garfield's estate netted the widow about 840,000, and in addition sho received 825,000 insurance on his life. Congress gave her 840,000, and the popular sub scription raisedjust after Garfield's death amounted to 8312,000 The anticipated fusilade over the free wool provision of the Mills hill has turned out a flash in the pan. In the committee of the whole last week Wilkins, of Ohio, made motion to strike wool off the free list. It was defeated by years 102 nays 120, thus retaining the provision by 18 major ity. Sowden, Pennsylvania; Foran, of Ohio, and Wilkins, were all the Democratic votes which could be mustered against free wool. There is no doubt that had Mr. Randall not been ill his name would have made four against the proposition. Mr. Ermcntrout was absent and therefore did not vote. He has been in Berks, looking after his political interests since tlie threatened Sowden-Quay combine on tlie Congressional con test. Vance and McAdoo turned in for free wool, and Merriman was ab sent from the city. In fact, tlie en tire Randall following, which set out so formidable in numbers and noise in the beginning of the contest, has dwindled away to three. The Republicans desertions did not materialize to the extent pre sumed. Knute Nelson, of Minn., and Anderson, of Kansas, voted with their party against free wool.
