THK STRATKUT OV A TKAMP 18 IlEWAnu-
Eo nr a men harvest.
The spring son was feebly striving
to cast n shallow on a brick church
wait against which rested a blind man
sunk in slumber. Boslilo him lay an
earthen bowl with a few pennies in it.
His faithless dog had wandered away
in search of a bone, and ho snored In
contented ignoranco of the fact that a
feeble and dilapidated tramp was re-par-ling
him with a careful scrutiny.
Tho tramp was blear-eyed and shaky,
but ho had tho appearance of one who
had witnessed much better days. In
fact, ho had. Ouco ho was a plumber;
but ho had gone to Central America
and set up in business there, where
pipes never freeze nor boilers burst,
and he had to walk all the way home.
Ho was now a 'button-holer" by trade
ono of thoso men who slop you on tho
street- with "Excuso me, sir, but"
then you say "Certainly t don't mention
it," and fleo for your life. Ho was also
at present a member of the great
American bar Association.
He approached the blind man with
a step like tho deacon's as he goes up
the aisle for tho contribution-box, a
stride full of reverence and silence.
Ho stood before h'm and read tho pla
card adorniog the person of the blind
one, which told tbo passer-by in seven
different languages that he had been
blown up (several times in steamboat
explosions, run over by locomotives and
lost the use of his nerves riding in bob
tail oars. The wanderer glanced quick
ly np and down the deserted street.
No ono io sieht : it was a little to early
for fashionable promenaders, and the
solitary policeman was dozing on a
bench in the park. Then, softly, and
with a touch as deft and delicate as
that of a professional nurse, he removed
the placard from around the sleeper's
alabaster neck and hung it around his
own.
He adjusted it carefully and took a
stride further from its owner and re
moved tho earthcrn bowl as well. He
then took his position with his back
to the wall and closed his languorous,
dreamy blue eyes until he almost en
tirely shut out the spring sunshine cast
ing flickering little shadows under the
warm, rich greens of the park trees
and the deep bluo ot tho morning sky,
He stood and waited, and the sleep
er slept with a smile on bis face as he
dreamed of his day's work being over
and his evening s pleasure at his club.
Tho tramp, with eyes closed, reflect
ed and pondered. 11 a thought of the
misery and deprivation of being blind
and being obliged to employ as an
amanuensis some pretty girl whose
beauty he could not appreciate. This
horrible thought caused him to open
one eye to see what was passing on in
the busy world about him. The horse-
chestnut trees were bursting open in
the genial sunshine like chestnuts be
fore the fire. One could almost imagine
he heard them pop as the leavea snap
ped apart. Two amazed bluebirds,
astonished at city life, flitted like
streaks of cobalt among the branches,
and the sparrows congregated in
noisy convention on the sparse grass,
debating motions in favor of ejecting
them. A fat man ran across the street
in front of a passing butcher's cart and
met a tatter woman, head on and steer
ing east just under the horses' noses,
and the pair narrowly escaped being
run over. The cart passed on and the
tramp enjoyed the remarks of the fat
people upon persons who cannot see
where where they are going. He
meditated upon what a loss the sight
of such an occurrence must be to the
blind. He wondered bow a blind man
could tell a saloon from an art gallery.
This reminded him that be bad not had
a drink for two hours, but with Spartan
fortitude he stuck to his post of duty.
Ho murmured gently to himself, "I'm
not drinking now, bat if business is
good 111 be fuller'n a goat to-night.''
Ihen be smiled a sweet baby-like smile,
closed bis eye again and let the re
flection console his and, thirsty spirit.
Alter awnue people began to pass
him more frequently. Now and then
some charitable soul dropped a coin or
two in the eartbern bowl with a cheery
and satistactory chink. The sleeper
still wore his cast-iron smile, and the
tramp began to think ho was awake
and watching him, but this impress
ion wore ofi gradually as the hours
passed and he made no sign.
The bowl began to fill rapidly and

fraternity was celebrated. He believed
that his charities of tho daytime gavo

disbursed accordingly. He dropped a
whole bandtul of silver into tho bowl
giving the tramp almost a paralytic
shock and causing him to open his eyes
in a stare of astonishment. After this
business was very good for two hours
and the bowl was filled and refilled, the
dilapidated appearance of the supposed
blind man melted the hearts of those
who were sporting their new and
gaudy Easter garments into a tender
feeling of pity. Ho could scarcely
constrain himself to remain longer.
First he stood on orie leg aud then on
the other, like a Japanese 6tork on a
screen, till at last his feelings overcame
him. He emptied the bowl for the
last time, set it down, placed the pla

blind one awoke from his prolonged
and refreshing slumber. The tramp
was gone, tho sun was low in the
heavens, the tender lovemaking of the
blue-birds was ended and there was
no money in the blind man's purse. He
opened his eyes, still heavy with sleep.
and gazed with a suspicious look at
the departing cab and then at hH dis

that he bad been imposed upon. He
pulled from under his old vest an
elegant gold watch, saw tho timo of day

his bowl and placard and whistled
shrilly for his dog. Tho dog failed to
respond, and after a moment's waiting
his blind master skipped around tho
corner, uttering remarks not sufficient

Working la the Garden.
There is not only profit In making
a garden, but pleasure. Many persons
attach no value to mo labor oi garuen
work, csneclallv when it affords them
a modo of healthy outdoor exercises
but whether a garden bo only a very
small plot or a largo area tho advan
tages derived depend upon tho skill,
care, and labor of the person who has
charge of it It is true that, while
those who cultivate hundreds of acres
of "truck" can produce vegetables
much more cheaply than can thoso
whoso plots aro too small to permit ot
tho use of improved implements, tho
gardener who grows his vegetables for
home uso secures a freshness and qral
ity that cannot bo obtained with vege
tables that are purchased. J. he is
quite a difference between tho pulling
of a ripe toniatoe from tho vine and
placing it on tho table, and the seiec
ion of one from a basket that has been
shipped over a distance of rail, and
which may have been taken from tho
vino two or three davs bciore.
Tint tlinrn ia also another advantage
in family gardening other than tho
freshness and quality ot merman iruiu
and vegetables grown, which is tho
choice of varieties. Two or throe
kinds of squash, several of peas, as
well as different varieties of beets,
beans, berries and even melons, if
spaco will allow of their growth, will
permit of catering to the preferences
of every member of the family. With
the selection of varieties come proper
care and judicious working with the
hoc, and it is in this manner that the
younger members are taught their hrst
lessons in practical agriculture. It is
said that the boy who works on the
I arm wnere nis amies can ior miming
the cows, flowing the fields and culti
vating the crops, does not have that
fondness for farm life that is peculiar
to the one who is given a small garden
and early taught to take an interest in
it.
It is often the case that ladles are
benefitted by light work in the garden,
especially if they are interested in ob
serving tho different stages of the
giowtn of plants, and when tho farm
er's wife, and the children also, become
interested, the cost of the labor may be
really considered as nothing, while the
saving of doctor's bills and the enjoy
ment of tho garden luxuries more than
compensate for the care bestowed. If
every farmer would haye a garden and
take an interest in it, it would greatly
add to the comfort and enjoyment of
farming, as well as prove very profit
able. Philadelphia Record.
Profit in Oats.
Many farmers say there is no profit
in raising oats, yet others find them a
probtable crop. It the market price ot
the grain is not profitable, the price
paid tor yonng stock always is. ice
farmer who sells oats and feeds bis
calves, pigs, limbs and colts all corn,
or nearly so, makes a mistake. .Not a
few men find oats unprofitable- be
cause they do not feed tbera, or do
not feed them properly ; yet more bo-
cause they do not get tho full value of
the straw. If oats are cut five days
earlier than is the common practice,
the straw is worth for feeding two
thirds oi its weight of timothy hay,
and this earlier cutting increases, rather
than diminishes, the value of the grain.
Of course the straw must be kept
bright. If it is not cut until it is
"dead ripe" and then piled up after
threshing to bleach and rot, it is not
worth much for feed. But the cutting,
and feeding being equally favorable,
three pounds of oat straw are worth as
much for winter feeding as two pounds
of hay. True, the other articles fed
must have more albuminoids tbaD
when hay is fed, but this does not in
crease the cost of the ration. The
biggest price for oats is realized by
cutting the crop when most farmers
would pronounce it green, curing it
nicely, then store in mow or nnder
barracks, and feed grain and straw to
gelher after running through a cutter
and moistening. (Jutting oats a little
early, also reduces the chances of their
lodging and their liability to lodge is
the most serious objection to tbem by
farmers who havo a soil rich in nitro
gen and rather deficient in silica a

CHINESE TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
The streets-of a Chinese town aro
entirely unlighted, so every one mov

and a lantern is hung up outside of
every temple, houso and shop. Con
sequently there is an enormous trade
done in lanterns of all sizes, from tho
hugo balloons down to the tiny little
things no bigger than oranges. They
are made occasionally of glass, but
usally of paper silk stretched on silk
bamboo and coated with varnish, and
the family surnames, shop sign, title of
temple, etc., are always written with
red painl'on the body ot tho lantern.

Stories of the Supernatural.
Mrs. Annie Dean Cloppor, a well
known lady of Denver, who died sud
denly in that city recently, had pre
dieted tho exact timo of her death
nearly a month before. Early in Feb
ruary sho had a dream in which tho
scenes at her doalh-bed and at the bur
ial wero vividly pictured to her. Her
friends endeavored to laugh away tho
unpleasant memory, but their efforts
wore unavailing and the refused to be
llevo that the dream was not a present
iment of her approaching end. She
passed the remaining days of her life
in religious meditation, and in her last
hours charged her friends to arrange
tho funeral ceremonies just as they had
appeared to her in the dream. Her
request wag complied with and every
detail carried out as she had particu
larly wished it, oven to tho posture of
tho head in tho coffin.
Tho wife of a miner in Western
Pennsylvania dreamed one night re
cently that her father appeared before
her in the room ind implore! forgive

childhood. He then kissed her on tho
lips and departed. Sho had not seen
him for years, and the dream impressed
her ho strongly that sho set out the
next day for his home, in a distant part
or the State, un entering the houso
she learned that ho was very ill, and
as sho reached his bedside he called
out faintly: "I am dyings won't you

A thin, white ghost of gigantic
height has been seen by many farmers
who live just out of Brazil, Ind. It
is usually encountered at the main
road in tho evening, when it appears
to be striding rapidly along the town,
but one farmer met it face to lace right
before his own door. He threw a
stono at the spectre, but the missile
passed straight through its chest with
out apparent effect, and the man fled
into the house.
Jacob S. Schnarr. a farmer living
near Edina, Mo., hauled a load of wood
to town one morning last week rnd
went into a grocery store tomake some
purchases. Suddenly ho sat down and
said to the crowd around the store:
"Boys, I feel as if I was going to die
before night." He was laughed at, but
as he started to drivo homo later in the
day he slipped from the wagon beneath
the horses hoofs and his skull was
crushed by tho frightened animals.
Thero is a hill a few miles from
Cambridge, Ind., which is said by the
country folk about to be the nightly
meet'ng-place of ghostly, supernatural
visitors, who indulge in wild and un
canny antics. By day a man standing
on the peak of the elevation can hear
a strange rumbling noise, and at times
feel the earth shake perceptibly. In
the night-time a thick haze settles over
the surface of the hill, through which
men say they have seen spectres clad
in shining white danco around the peak
uttering unearthly cries and groans.
Tears ago a pioneer built a cabin on
the hill and began to till the land, but
the strange sights and sounds impelled
him to abandon it, and the house has
since been unoccupied.
Korean Funerals.
A Korean funeral is a strange
affair, writes a correspondent of the
New York Post. The female relatives
do not accompany the body to the
grave, and the mourning is done at the
house and at the grave, if at all, by
hired professional monroers. If the
dead man was very poor he is carried
to bis grave on a bier of the simplest
construction, borne by two men. The
body is shielded from sight only by a
semicylinder of paper, and it is placed
in the grave with no coffin to hinder
contact with the earth. The cost of
burial in such a case is only about S2.
It is probably on account of tho occupa
tion of the hills as burial grounds, and
of the horror felt at the thought of dis-
turning graves that the Koreans are
averse to opening up the mineral

to them the equivalent of a sacrilege.
ii is not unlikely, however, that before
long this feeling will give way to a de

start is already made in this direction.

the government can derive a large reve

Oanses of Orime.
A correspondent of tho Philadelphia
JVeiw has been having an interview
with Warden Cassidy, of the eastern
penitentiary, who hat many years ex
perienco in that institution and whoso
opinions ought to possess some value.
As to tho "romanco of crime," tho
warden's observation has led him to
the conviction that there is no such
thing as "honor among thlovcs," of
which so much has been said, is myth.
Criminals aro almost always suspicious
of each other ond with some reason,
or many of the most signal triumphs
of justice havo been made only through
tho betrayal of his pals by somo crimi
nal. Mr. Cassidy believes that ninety per
cent, of tho crimo which burdens the
world comes through heredity. "Chil
dren are born with tho taint of crime
in their blood and as prono to evil as
sparks to fly upward. All they need
is lack of proper care and training,
and oppcrtunity to associate with older
bad companions, and your criminal
comes as natural as tho butterfly from
tho crysalis. Liko produces like1, and
what can you expect from a vicious
father and a drnnkea rncthcr but a bad
child t' There is much truth in this
and tho supply of criminals will never
diminish until tho State immures hard
ened criminals for life and undertakes
tho caro and trainiug of neglected chil
dren. Of tho 1,040 criminals in tho eastern
penitentiary only fonrtecu were me
chanics when admitted. "Men xeho
learn trades in their youfi," said Mr.
Cassidy "seldom become gravo crimi
nals. They may become drunk irds,
and, losing their habits of industry,
sots, and be guilty of petty misdemean
ors but they seldom commit serious
offenses, and when they do the orimos
aro usually the result of quarrels or of
bad temper." This is only one moro
link in the chain of evidence going to
provo that parents who would surely
provido for the future of their boys
must strive to give them that sort of
education that will qualify them to
make intelligent use of their bands.
Book knowledge is not enough'. It is
also a loud argument against the mod
em spirit which has abolished tho ap
prentice system and tendered it very
difficult if not impossible for many boys
to become masters of trades. Does
not tbis fact also call forth the establish
ment by the State of industrial schools
where the children of the poor and
even of criminals may be taught to
handle tools 1 For there aro thousands
ot shiftless people who live from hand
to mouth or by crime all their days
and who will do nothing to assist their
children in the battle of life, and from
the rauks of these unfortunate ones
comes the majority of criminals.
The warden believes that liquor has
far less to do with the commission of
heinous crimes than is generally sup
posed. "A burglar," be says, "must
have keen eyes and cars and steady
nerves." "A bank sneak cannot bo a
hard drinker, neither can a forger or a
counterfeiter." Mr. Cassidy- may be
right and it is certainly true that many
of the most-successful criminals are of
comparatively sober habits. Yet we
venture the opinion that nine-tenths of
all the inmates of onr prisons are drink
ing men ard drink has no little to do
with their ruin. Curiously enough,
Mr. Cassidy th'nks base ball one of the
most prolific sources of crime in the
country and he declares with emphasis
that "b.ne ball is a bad thing."
We don't know that there is any
thing particularly new or novel in
Warden Cas-ddy'e views of crime and
its causes. In a largo measure they
ai-e supplementary and confirmatory of
the opinions of men and women who
have devoted much time and Btudv to
the subject. It they teach any it is the
old but thus far almost unheeded
trnth that if tbo State would build in
dustrial schools for its neglected chil
dren it would have less need for pris
ons. Exchange.
Don't Work That Brain Too Hard.
In giving this advico to Americans
who know little rest, an evidently ex
perienced physician writes to the Bos
ton Journal that the special safeguard
is to keep the mind from dwelling on
any subject with intense and prolonp
ed anxiety. It will not do to "hug
sharp-pointed memories of the past."
bome brains are specially prone to run
in "rabbit tracks" of thought. The
only safety is in timely diversion of
thought. The reason why a larger
percentage of people in tho country be
came jnsane than thoso who reside in
cities and large villages is because
they have so little to compel variety
of thought. As religious topics have
to do with the deepest interests of the
individual there is danger when the
body and mind are weakened by over
work or disease thai even this impor
tant subject may be dwelt upon too
exclusively. In conversing with a
very intelligent and refined lady who
had partially lost her mind while in
bodily illhealth by dwelling on reli
gious subjects, the writer urged her,
after having committed herself to tho
mercy of God, to lay tho whole subject
of religion "on the table" till she had
strength of mind nnd body to think
calmly and normally. As an inflaraa
tion in the throat will prevent the
natural vibration of the vocal chords,
so acute inflamation in any part of the
head prevents tho mind from getting
correct and normal impressions upon
its Bervant, the brain. Intense and
prolonged thought begets congestion,
and chronic congestion produces dis
organization and degeneration.

At tho commencement of the last
century, owing to overvaluation of sil
ver in France, the heavy silver coins
rapidly disappeared from circulation in
Great Britain, only the light and worn
ones (often 25 per cent, below the
standard) remaining. The government
undertook to recoin the entire remain
ing and worn silver, and to make it
full weight without raising its value.
This nnlv facilitated its export and
rendered its circulation moro difficult
at home; the real value of tho coins
being so uncertain that tho guinea lluo
tnated in price, as measured by silver
from 21s. 01. to 80j. It was therefore,
in 1774, declared that silver should no
longer bo a lender, except by weight,
beyond 2.r. Tbo amount due, as you
havo stated, was to bo paid without
reference to this, or in accordance with
the old teuder. fix.
