DOWNING THE PIE. fcYou coins up any further*" asked Billy. fcXo. I ain't goin' no further," raid the Jerseyinan. We continued on onr wav. It was just as much fun up there as it had been lower down, aud no more. We didn't get a bito. Then we came back again, and 1 tell into all the holes 1 had discovered on uiy way up, and several new ones. About p. in. we reached a farm house. By this time we were both hungry enough to eat anything we coaid bite, for I had lost our lunch* early in the day.

"Just bri'm out our pic ana 1M show you a few poiats about hulling." We ate the pie. aud theu Jimmy took us down to tho pond.

Billy sent mc to catch one, and I roamed nil over four quarter Hections without finding any. When 1 came back old Shakes consoled mu by Kiyini: that they were rather scarce at that time of the year. Then Billv suggested worms, and I went out behind the barn and dug up a rare aud beautiful collection. Billy wouldn't try one till the trout had got over his scare at the fly. Meanwhile we were getting hungry again, and old Shakes went to the house aud found one more pie which we bought for a dollar and a half. Afterthat was gone be found another with which hccouseuted to port for the sum of two dollars. He said it waa ikosiMvely the last pie in that part of New ersey.

I killed hor. Yea, killed her. Oh, my, but wasn't it a fine night for such a devil's deed? The darkness was frightful. Lightning blazed forth with demoniacal fury from the heavens. The thunder mnde the earth quiver like a reed in the blast. All the imps of Pat ila were out." The maniac paused iu his excessive frenzy and dashed from his distorted face the great beads of perspiration that trickled from his forehead, and coutinued in the same wild manner: "I stole her when she was asleep, and fled like some arch-demon from the blackest abyss of Hades with her, out—out into the night. She, ha, ha, ho. ho, struggled like some frightened bird. But what good did it doi1 I—I Imd her. On we went, through tho fierce nocturnal storm, until we came to a plateau.

The thermometor and tlie barom otor should be used by all farmers. After having used them awhile they will be considered indispensable ad juncts to the fur in. Wood ashes are excellent on the flower beds. Hoses need an applica tion of them now. All kinds of flow ers will be benefited by super phosphate and ashes at this season. After encli rain the ground should be cultivated lightly to preventevup oration of moisture. The loose dirt serves as a covering and shields the earth from the direct effects of dry ing winds and the heat of the sun. Weeds make excellent green ma nure if turned under. A rank growth of weeds indicate fertile land, but Hucli land can be exhausted by re moving a regular crop. It will pay, therefore, to turn the weeds under and let them rot in the ground. ilie trout.

If a careful lookout is given when they first ap pear, and the butterflies destroyed, which is not as dillicult as supposed, there would lie a saving of labor and loss of plants. Land that lias grown much clover sped is not good for a strawberry patch. It is good lor almost any other farm crop for which clover is valuable manure, llut among strawberries clover is one of the worst of weeds, and for this reason it is not best to sow gypsum or land plusher on the strawlierrry patch lest it cause too great an intrusion of clover. Mr. J. K. Brown, New York Dairy Commissioner, remarks that dairy ing lias been carried on in a very wnsteful way, and that no manu facturer could Btand the competition of his rivals if he should allow his business to run as slack as dairymen run theirs. "Manufacturers are'liter ally compelled to know all about the capacity of thc machines they use, but New York State farmers are k(Hping herds, onehalf of which never give milk enough to pay a profit on their keeping. No other business will permit such a drain." When cream is thick and ropy and will not churn it is because of the presence ol an excess albumen, which is like the white of au egg. This al so prevents the escape ol the air, gathered by churning, as is denoted by the swelling of the cream, which becomes frothy. Two low tempera ture sometimes operates in this way, while a too high temperature makes a butter too soft and porous. It is well to raise tlie temperature of the cream somewhat higher tliau the churning point, and let it lower to it, as fat is a bud conductor and does not heat as soon an the fluids iu the creain. Hurie Dentlittrf. More trouble und luck of condition are caused by ulcerated and irregu lar teeth than is generally supposed. Such teeth should be promptly re moved with forceps. There is no reuson to doubt that a horse with ulcerated teeth suffers as intensely from toothache as a human subject. Irregular growth or fractures ol the enamel on theouter edges make the teeth so rough as to injure the inside of tlie cheek, sometimes causing ulcers. Iu other cases some of the grinders grow more slowly than oth ers and fail to meet those in the op posite jaw, causing what is called "nuidding," or imperfect mastication of the food. The remedy is to file the teeth into the proper shape. Horse dentistry is now recognized as an important branch of veterin ary practice. Whole (hat for Praltrjt. The low prices of wheat, for several years past lias been partly compen sated to lurmers by inducing them to test its value lor feeding. It is, a{l things taken into account, the king of grains. It gives the elements of sustaining lite more fully than any other fooil. In the albuminoids wheat is especially rich, and it is this that adapts it so well to feeding hens foi egg-production. It is hardly possible for wheat to become so dear that farmers cuunot afford to ex change it for eggs, always much dearer in price. On the farm the shrunken and imperfect wheat should lie fed to the liens. It does not need grinding. Fowls have a grinding apparatus ol their own, and do bet ter when it is given due exercise than when grain is crushed into meal before feeding to them.—American Cultivator. Fodder Corn* The planting ol loddercorn for late feeding is increasing in popularity otf late years, iu addition to the crops grown for ensilaging. It is an import ant crop to farmers who keep stock to any extent and should not be neglected by stockmen. To have a succession it is a good plan to plant every week or two after commencing. Some farmers who make but one planting or sowing deter it to long. It will not usually nttain sufficient f'all lowtli to bent its best for either or Winter feeding when put in as late as July 10, yet it can be near ly full growli for Fall feeding, and ii the pastures are scanty, and hay not too plenty, a field of it will prove a great addition to the feed for milch cows, and save many dollars' worth of hay and much shrinkage of milk. The corn may be plunted in drills or sown broadcast, but drilling is pre ferred by the majority of good tarnv ers, Wkf Cattl* are Halted, Why do farmers salt their cattle? Not every farmer, remarks the Ameri can Dairyman, knows why he does it, unless it is becaues the stock Uke it, and then goes on to say: A moment's thought will show where the advan tage lies. As soon as the food enters the stomach, the natural tendency is at once for fermentation to begin, and their arises a contest between this tendency and the digestive pow ers, And ifthese powers are vigorous, and the process of fermentation is checked or intercepted, then no bad results will follow, tlie food will be digested, and salt will not be needed, though at any time this will assist in the process ol digestion. Salt keeps food I rom decaying until it can be digested and assimilated, ant) pro longs tho time to allow tlie digestive organs to complete their work q,t.ili lood is taken in excess, as often hap pens when stock is in pasture, salt given frequently will be ol niucl) ad vantage: And further, salt is a pre ventive of worms, When fermenta tion sets in, thecqnditions presented are favorable to the enistence of worms in the intestinal canals, and and may possibly be engendered by the process. Consenquently itshould lie a rule with stockmen to keep salt before their cattle, or within reach when they neeJ it, and the cattl» will obey the demands of nature, and sup ply the want as needed. THAH The OM XM'I Ileirk Nebraska 8 tat* Journal. Once upon a time an old man called his three sons to him in the dusk of the evening, and in a faltering •voice said to them: "My boys, in a little while you will have no father, am standing on the shore of the river of death and soon I must launch my boat upon it. Now, I have as you know, a splendid farm, upon which one man can thrive, but as there are three of you I have been sorely preplexed its to which should have it. I have therefore decided to give each of you two dollars that you must spend tomorrow, and to the one making the wisest purchase shall the farm be given. Come to me tomorrow evening at this time and tell me how you have each ex pended your money. Now, good night, and heaven bless you all." On the the following evening the three sons assembled before their father. "Iteginnld," said the lutter to the eldest, "what did you pur chase with your two dollars?" Father," returned the son, "I pond ered long that I might make wise use of the money, and at last I bought a pair of strong shoes." "Well done, well done the journey through life is rugeed and hard, anil the thorns tiro thick upon the way. You have shown prudence and fore thought, and 1 love you tlie better for it. And whut did you buy, Augustus?" "I too thought long and deeply," responded the second son, "that I might not purchase anything trivial or foolish. Since the cup that I wear is worn aud ragged. I bought a hat with a wide brim, which 1 show to youj my father." The old man regarded him with a glance of pride and affection, and said: "You too have done well, Augustus often in the world the brow is fevered and the sun rays beat fiercely upon the aching head, and your hat will comfort you. I rejoice that my sons are so filled with wisdom. And you Theophilus, what did you buy?" "My lather," an werea Theophilus, "I didn't ponder worth a cent. As soon as I left you lust evening I blew in my stuff for five tickets to the base-ball games.' With tears ol joy streaming down his furrowed fuce, the venerable nuiii embraced Theophilus, nnd murmured in a voice hoarse with emotion: "Had I a furm as large as Texas, with a wind-mill on it, it would be yours!" And then Iteginnld and Augustus moved sadly away into the gathering gloom and while the one tried to keep the flies off him self with his hat, the other kicked himself severely with his boots. Health and Besnly. I.mlieB' Home Companion. To be beautiful, a woman must be healthy the delicacy which comes from physical weakness is not an element of beauty. The grace of |ier fect form is the result of sound bone and flesh health strengthens the muscles, and the proper conditions of the stomach nnd lungs is of great importance—on tho perlect circula tion of the blood and its freedom from ull impurities depends the beau ty of the complexion. The skin must lie kept healthy by frequent buthing and proper diet, as well as plenty ol exercise in the open air. The English are wont to say the paleness and sallow tinge of the American girl's complexion is due to insufficient nourishment, the want of strength ening food. A French nuthorof note says: "A train of exact- nnd rigid observation has demonstrated that a succulent, delicate, and careful regimen repels to a distance, and for a considerable length of time, the external appearance of old age. It gives more brilliancy to thee.yes, more freshness to the skin, more support to the muscles, and as it is certain in physiology that it is depression of the muscles nt causes wrinkles, those enemies of beauty, it is equally true to say that, other things lieing equal, those who understand eating are comparatively ten years younger than those who do not un derstand that science." Our dry at mosphere, it is true, is somewhat un favorable to clearness and brilliancy of our complexion, and our cliinato is more or less exhausting to the constitution of women, yet with care and attention to certain rules any woman not actually diseased may have good liealth, nnd with it some degree of beauty. Bathing is one oi tho first renuirineuts, as it produces a healthful conditiou of the skin. Therefore, the daily bath, with a walk of an hour or more in the open nir(notthe exercise of housework), und a plentiful supply of good, well cooked, nourishing food—plain food, not pies, puddings irnl sweet-ineuts —will add not only to a woman's at tractive appearance, but improve mind, body and soul, for henlth, happiness and virtue go hand in hand. House Furnishing There are many gloomy rooms which throw a chill over a person up on entering tlieui that might lie made plensant nnd homelike with taste and ingenuity, says the Farm ers Voice, liooms that are lintm-all dark can be lightened by having tlie woodwork and paper in light tints, and the decorations in warm, rich colors. Light brussels carpets show soil less und require less sweeping, consequently they last longer than dark ones. Good ingrain carpets are more satisfactory und look better when old than three-ply or other wool carpcts. Pretty book shelves of antique oak, curled maple, or cherry, with curtains of pongee or China silk of some bright color, add much to a living-room, and as use Ad as ornamental. For a librurv or sitting-room it is well to have a good-sized table, double if possible, and use the lower she! for I for newspapers and books. Kattnn furniture is light, pretty, and comfortable, liesides lie ing inexpensive. Draw in bright ribbons and fasten on a "head rest" or roll, which can be made of China silk or plush. Here and there over a picture or easel should be a fancy scarf or "throw," as they are now called. They are easily made of bolting cloth or silk, and can be hemstitched, em broidered, or left plain, with only fancy ornaments on the ends. Pic ture frames for the library should lie of antiquo oak or some ottierequnlly irett.v wood, while those for the pur should be varied, gilt, bronze, etc, A pretty water-color flower piece hasalovely fratneofpure white, which sets off the rich coloring of the flowers perfectly. A brass plaque, which has a pretty moonlight, scene on it, is framed in rich, rod plush with a narrow bronze molding, around tho outside. In window drapzries for the parlors soft silken curtains are the prettiest, or those of lace or fine lawns. An eminent divine says: "A pretty well-ordered home preaches its own sermon, and wields a more powerful influencethan either sword or pen."

Unit *r B*l*« HeM u4 MW la Wall Mtreel. The other day a smooth faced man, wearing handsome clothes and dis playing a soiled collar and a necktie nil awry, and shoes that never expe rienced the skillful manipulations of a bootblack, and finger nails that never experienced a manicure, leaned his elbow on a Washington counter and talked in the jollieat way to a circle of newspaper friends. Ho look ed like a tramp, but he really is one of the most famous men in tho world, and his name is known in every part of tho globe. Of course lie is an Ohio t?il.n" nal,,° '8 Thomas Alva Kdison, and he was once a peanut boy and news butcher on a jerk water railroad in tne Buckeye state. During a little luncheon Edison, be tween hearty drinks of beer his favorite beverage, told in his quaint way the story of his first acquain tance with any largo sum of money. It was in the days when he was struggling along with his early in ventions, and didn't have big capi talists to back him. In fact, he didn't hnve any bank account him self, and hardly knew what one was. Hank checks were things ho never had occasion to use, and had about as much idea of their value as the man in the moon. Kdison had finally sold his patent on the gold and stock indicator to the Western Union Telegraph com pany for 940,000, and was coming over to New York to get his money. He had heard of Wall street and its bulls and bears, and had been told that it was full of "sharks," who would fleece a man very quick. So he made up his mind that Wall street was a very daugerous place, and that if ever he had occasion to go there he would lie lucky if lie got ftwuy without losing his overcoat und umbrella. At that time (ien. l^efferts was president of the Western Union. One morning Kdison came into the com pany's general offices to dost! up the sale of his patent. After a few preliminaries he was given a check for f40,000. He looked at it curiously for a mo mentor two, nnd appeared to be puzzled what to do with it. He knew he had soltl a patent to the Western Tnion company for $40, 000, but he did not, see any money. Observing his perplexity, (ien. lit'tl lerts told him that il he would go to the Hank of America, in Wall street, he would get the check cashed. "So I started," said Kdison, "after care fully folding up the check nnd went townrd Wall street. So uucertnin was 1 in regard to that, way of do ing business that I thought'while on the way tlint if au.v man should come up to ineand offer me I wo crisp thousand dollar bills for that piece of paper, I should give him up the check very quick." On arriving at the Bank of Amer ica he hesitated about entering, fear ius still tiiat something might lie wrong. At last, however, he muster ed up courage and determined to try it. lie knew that (ien. l-ell'erts had told him he would get his money here, so braced ahead nnd half trembling ly shoved his check out to the cash ier. The latter scutinized it closely, gave Kdison a piercing glance, anil said something which Kdison could not understand, as he was hard of hear ing. That was enough. He was now more h:in ever convinced that his "check" wasn't worth #40,000, and again thought as he rushed out of the bunk with it that any man who would give him #2,000 'could walk away with the check. He hurried back to the Western Union and said ite couldn't get any money, (ien. l.eflerts then sent a man with him to indentify hint. lie said. "This man is Mr. Thomas A. Kdison, to whose order the check is drawn." "Why, certainly, Mr. Kdison," said the cashier, very obsequiously "how would you like your #40,000 —in what shape?" "Oh, any way to suit the bank, it doesn't make any difference to me so long its I get my money." Kdison wns given #40,000 in large bills. After dividing the roll into two _wnds of #20,000 each, liestutl'ed one into each trousers pocket, but toiled up his coat, as tightly as pos sible, and made a break to get out of Wall street ns quick as he could. The next day Kdison began work on his first laboratory in Now York.— F. 1). Mussey in Cincinnati Commer cial. Contented. "Our content is our best having," says Shakespeare but it is only the few who really know what the word means. There is an old lady, how ever. living in a quiet New Kngland town, who is actually a contented woman. One day she wns sitting in the porch, placidly knitting, when a book agent appeared. After finish ing the business part of his inter view, nnd inducing her to subscribe for "Scenes from Joppn." in twelve numbers, he remarked "Nice farm you've got here." "Yes, we think so," snid the old lady, taking up her knitting again. "Must be lonesome in winter though." "Oh, no, not too lonesome 1 don't like to have it so lively you can't, hear yourself think." "I guess the wind whistles some through these trees, about tho time of the equinoctial." "Maybe it does, I won't say it don't: but it only makes me thank ful we've got enough fire wood." "How is it about books? I don't suppose you have a library in town?" "Well, no, not to call a library," said she cautiously, not wishing to hear her native place dispariured "but there's books in circulation. Mis' Miles hns got 'Pilgrim's Pro gress,' and I've got 'I'ncle Tom's Cabin.' So once a year we swap.' "Have nny lectures or concerts?" "Husband savs there's good speak in' in caucus, some of it real violent and it you want to lienr singin', sir, you, just come to ourSunduy school. -Sometimes it fairly makes the tears come into my eyes to hear them lit tle cretitur's tune up." ell, well," ill the book ngent, "I've seen a good many folks that call themselves contented, but I don't think any one of 'em could come up to you. Shut up in this lonesome place, and making the best of it too! hy, 1 don't suppose vou ever travel!" "Oh yes," said the old lady, primly, not too well pleased at hearing her self praised at tho expense of her be loved town, "we travel as much ns most folks.

The Perisiuns have a proverb to tho effect that "a small fly is multi plied by millions, heis undoubtedly a brave man who will attempt com bating such a host. Fort Tel-el Kebir, on the day after the battle there, in 1882, presented a remark able gathering of flies The fort seemed to be covered with a durk pall. At about 150 yards distant from this dark mass, I heard a loud, humming noise, and I approached nearer, the sound in creased in volume, until it became a roar. It came from a wall of flies, one mile long, ten yurds high and forty yards wide this pall repre sented a line ot dead una unburied Egyptians. To go round the- flank of the fly wall wns out of thequestion,so I put spurs to my pony and urged liim through. The brute several times refused to stir, frightened by the hum and noise. At last, 1 managed to get him "head on," and never shall I forget iny passages through those forty yards of flies. They presented such a firm front that 1 could feel a pressure, heavy enough to compel me instinctively to grip the saddle closer with uiy knees. I had tocloso mouth and eyes, and it was no easy matter to endure the stench emanating from the mass. M.v pony wns so terrified that I could not stop hint until we hnd got far lieyond the black mass, nnd into the clear desert air again. I looked behind me, now and again, as 1 continued my journey, nnd there, in the blazing sun, hung the sume dark pall.—St. James' Gazette. A llath of SUte, The queen of Madagascar hns taken her yearly bath. This annuul clean ing up was observed with great pomp. The French papers report that the queen was clothed all in scarlet and seated upon a red velvet throne a corner of the room was railed off with red curtains and be hind this was rolled a great bathtub set on wheels. A solemn procession filed through, beuring the water for the bath, materials for the fire to heat it, made directly underthe bath tub itself, the towels, soap, {lerfume and various toilet appurtenances. As soon as the water was sufficiently heated the fire was put out, prayers were said and a hymn sung implor ing that the queen suffer no harm lrom her daring act, and then, as she disappeared behind the curtain, a salvo ot artillery was fired and the drums beat to announce to the ex cited multitudes outside that the im portant part of the coremony was taking place. At the end of a brief fifteen minutes thequeen reappeared, somewhat paler in hue, but gorgeous ly arrayed and wearing nil the crown jewels. In her hand she carried an ox horn tipped and bound with sil ver, full ol water taken from the bath just previous to her entrance to it. Hearing this and accompanied by the prime minister, she inarched to the palace portal, where she dipped a brunch into the water and sprinkled the spectators as they puss along, which gave them the satisfaction of feeling that they have in a measure shared in the dangers which the queen as the head of the nation had boldly confronted.—New York Telegram. Tlie Man With Two Stomachs, Now York Sun. The New York fire department hns in its ranks a member who could make a bigger salary in a dime mu seum than at life saving were he will ing to go on exhibition. He is one of the best-known members, too, and a Bennett medallist. He hns what is be&t described as a double stomach, some sort of an internal snck or pouch in addition to tho regular stomach, into which, he can, at will, direct anything that he swallows. Whatever goes into this sack lie can retain there as long as he pleases and then bring up agnin unharmed. In this way he can swallow coins, peb bles, or any small trifles, and regain possession ot them again at will. He declares that this power has been of great use to him at times when he was the bearer of important secret dispatches through a hostile coun try. He enclosed them in a round silver case that he had made, swal lowed them whenever necessary, nnd defied his senrchcrs. He litis been examined by well-known doctors, who say that this internal arrange ment of his is otto of the most re markable freaks of nnture ever known. He has hud offers of large sums if he would will his body to some medical institute when he died. Hesaysthathe discovered the peculi arity about his stomach when a boy, by swallowing pebbles nnd bringing them up ngain to the admiring awe of his companions. A Solid Danlu An old fellow in a Wisconsin town who has been running a private bank for some years was recently requested to publish some sort of a statement. So he posted the follow ing on the door of his bank: "No tice—Tliis 'ere bank has got #50, 000 liehind her. She don't owe no boddy a cussed cent.

Ix spiTK of all efforts to prevent ticket scalping, and in spite of the cast iron agreements among railroad officials, the scalpers seem to have an abundance of bona fida tickets, good on nearly all the roads. It is be lieved that many of the passenger ngents are still selling the tickets at a big commission to the scalpers. PrlMltlr* Telegraphs As is welt known the Indians ofoar continent use rising smoke to give signals to distant friends. A small fire is started, and, as soon as it burns fairly well, grass and leaves are heaped on top of it. Thus a large column of steam and smoke rises. By covering the fire with a blanket the rising of the smoke is interrupted at regular intervals, and the successive clouds are used for conveying messages. Explorations in the Congo basin have shown that the system of drum signals prevails throughout central Africa. The Ba kuba use large wooden drum, on which different tones are produced with two drum sticks. Sometimes the natives "converse" in this way for hours, and from the energy dis played by the drummers and the rapidity ot the successive blows, it seemed that the conversation was very animated. The same use of drums is found in New Guinea. From the rhythm and rapidity of the blows the natives know at once whether an attack, a death, or a festival is announced. The same tribe use col umns of smoke or (nt night) fires to convey messages to distant friends. The latter are also used inAustrulia. Columns of smoke of different forms are used for signals by the inhabi tants of Cape York and the neighbor ing islands. In Victoria hollow trees are filled with fresh leaves which are lighted. The signals thus made are understood by their friends. Iu east ern Australia the move of a traveler were made known by columns of smoke, and so was the discovery of a whale in Portland bay.—Science. the new Blood Purifier.

A young man, a stranger to the entire party in troduced himself, and it came out that he was from Cynthiana, Ky., near where Lindley was born nnd lived for many years, teaching school, among other things. In talking over country history they became quite well acquainted, and the younu KentuCkian mentioued his father's nnme. "1 knew him well he used to go to school under me," said the judge. "Yon hurdly look old enough to have been my father's school teacher. The old gentleman is now 72 years old," said the young •nun in reply. The laugh twitted him on his uge.
