Hew to Keep House on a Small Salary.
A clerk's wife sends to Seribner's Month
ly the following bit of experience, which
may have for many of our readers an in
terest both timely and practical :
After many 3-cars of married life passed
in comparative affluence, reverses came, and
my husband was obliged to accept a situa
tion in a large city, with a small salary of
SSOO per year. I felt .that this could suf
fice for our maintenance only by the exer
cise of the strictest economy. A little over
315 a week ! How many times I divided that
800 by 52, and tried to make it ccme out
a little more. Still I determined to solve
the problem of the day namely, whether
one could keep house on a small salary, or
whether boarding house life was a necessity,
as so many clerks' wives assert. "We had
neither of us been accustomed to economiz
ing, and I felt it was but just, if my hus
band worked hard for his salary, that I
should perform the labor of making it go
as far as possible.
Thirty replies were received to our ad
vertisement for two unfurnished rooms,
without board. Looking them over care
fully, I selected half a dozen which came
within our means, and started on an ex
ploring expedition. In a pleasant house
and neighborhood I found a lady willing
to rent two adjoining rooms, with closets
and water conveniences, for the modest
sum of 12 per month. In one room there
were two deep south windows, where I
could keep a few plants in the winter, I con
sulted my husband, and with his approval
engaged the rooms.
AVe had 8175, ready money. AVith this
we bought bright, but inexpensive carpets,
a parlor cook stove, an oiled black walnut
sot of furniture, a table, a student lamp, a
few dishes, and some coal. "With the few
pictures, a rack of books, and some orna
ments in our possession, Ave decked the
rooms tastefully, aud commenced the ser
ious business of keeping house on $300 u
vear.
We determined from the first that we
should not have any accounts, but would
pay cash for cverthing, and when we could
not afford an article, do without. After
aying rent and washerwoman he had fifty
dollars per month for other expenses.
Twenty dollars of this furnished us a plen
tiful supply of food and paid car fare. I
learned to love my work. Strength came
with each day's labor, and renewed health
repaid each effort put forth to make my
little home pleasant and restful to my hus
band. And how we did enjoy that little
home !
"When the stormy nights came, wc drew
our curtains, shutting out the world, with
a bright fire, atsd the soft glow of our read
ing lamp upon the crimson cloth, reading a
magazine or evening paper (in which we
were able to indulge,) with a "Cod pity
the poor this dreadful night," forgetting in
our cosy and comfortable home how many
there were in the great city who would
call us poor. AVe always kept within my
husband's salary, wearing plain but good
and respectable clothing, and eating simple
but substantial food. And now as circum
stances have been improving with us, and
we are living in a house all our own, with
servants, and thousands instead of hund
reds a year, we look back to the year spent
in our simple, frugal little home, and know
that it will always be the happiest portion
of our lives.
A BAD BOY.
A. FATIIKIl IN SKAIICH OF AX KKUIXO SON
AND I)KLI I)E1 )At tillTEIl A REWARD
FOK Til El It CAl'TL'KE.
From the Krie Dispatch, 24th.
Yestcrdav morning the eastern train
brought to this city an elderly gentleman,
who gave his name as Dr. "William Burke,
a resident in Hanover, Chautauqua county,
New York, and by no means reticent in
making the fact known that lie was in
search of a son and daughter, who ran
away from his house during "Wednesday
night, April 7th.
Mr. I. owns a farm in Hanover and
practices medicine. The name of the son
(bv his first wife) is Milton M. Burke ; he
is thirty years of age, of prepossessing ap-:
pcarancc, five feet six inches in height,
aud has been a bad boy from his youth up.
Some six years ago he was arrested in Erie
county, Fa., for burglary and sent to the
Western penitentiary at Allegheny. Soon
after his release he committed a burglary
in Dunkirk, for which he was sent to the
State prison at Auburn for five years.
After he had served three years of the
time, he wrote to his father letters full of
penitence, claiming to have reformed and
asking him to try and get him pardoned.
Mr. Burke's neighbors urged him to do so,
and through his efforts a pardon was pro
cured, and about four months ago he was
discharged and returned to the paternal
roof, and since that time has been cmracrcd
in villainies of various kinds, as Mr. B. has
good reason to suspect.
The name of the daughter (by his sccoud
wife) is Margaret Burke. She has red hair
and is fourteen years old, and is five feet
two inches in height. Since Milton's re
lease from Auburn lie has not ceased his
endeavors to make his half-sister believe
that she is being worked too hard by her
mother, and a younger sister overheard
him tell her, not long since, that if she
would go with him he would get a place for
her where she could live without work and
be a lad-. During the night of the 7th
ult, the little girl alluded to, who was
sleeping below, heard a rustling notse in
Margaret's room up stairs, but supposed it
was the dog, but as the noise continued to
increase, the little girl got up and went up
stairs, when she found that the window in
the end of the house was open and that her
sister was gone, having let herself down
that way. In her haste, to avoid being
seen by her sister, she left her shoes and
stockings and much of her clothing behind.
Mr. Burke suspecting that the fugitives
had gone to Buffalo and that it was the in
tention of the son to place the girl in a
house of ill-fame, visited that city and spent
about a week's time, with the hope of
getting some trace of them, but all to no
purpose, and turned his steps to this region
of country, and if still unsuccessful will
then co to Cleveland.
Mr. B. says he wants to get back the girl,
but does not care for the boy except to
have him placed back in prison, as he is a
dangerous man and not fit to run at large ;
that he has often threatened to take his
life and that all his neighbors are afraid of
him. He offers a reward of one hundred
dollars for the arrest of his unwrothy son
and the return of the daughter, the mother
of the girl being nearly frantic by reason
of her mysterious disappearance.

About Eating at Night.
A lengend of ancient times, handed down
from generation to generation, through
century upon century, still obtains in al
most every household to the effect that if
one eats just before going to bed one will
surely see one's grand mother. Now there
seems to be something terrible about the
appearance of this nocturnal grandmother,
but as the writer never conversed with any
one who had been subjected to one of her
phantomic visits we are- disposed to be in
credulous, aud flout the legend in the face
of the bearer. However hungry one may
be at bedtime, the temptation to satisfy the
cravings of the appetite is always met by
this "old wives' fable," aud it always serves
to bar the pantry door against an evening
intrusion. There's no telling how much
suffering has been brought about by this
idea, and now we believe the time has come
when hungry men, be it at bedtime or meal
time, ought to burst the legendary bonds
which have thus far bound them and cat
when they arc hungry. To take a hearty
meal on retiring is, of course, very injur
ious, because it is very likely to disturb
one's rest and produce nightmare. How
ever, a little food at this time, if one is
hungry, is decidedly beneficial ; it prevents
the gnawing of an empty stomach, with its
attendent restlessness and unpleasant
dreams, to say nothing of the probable
headache, or of nervous and other derange
ments, the next morning. One should no
more lie down at night hungry than lie
should lie down after a full dinner, the
conse'puence of cither being disturbing and
harmful. A cracker or two, a bit of bread
and butter, cake, a little fruit something
to relieve the sense of vacuity, and so re
store the tone of the system is all that is
necesary. We have known persons, habi
tual sufferers from restlessness at night, to
experience material benefit, even though
they were not hungry, b' a very light
luncheon before bedtime. In place of tos
sing about for two or three hours as for
merly, they would soon grow drowsy, fall
asleep, and not wake more than once or
twice until sunrise. This mode of treating
insomnia or sleeplessness has recently been
recommended by several distinguished
physicians, and the prescription has generally
been attended with happy results.
Use sulphur freely in the stables to
keep off lice from the cattle. It is a dis
grace to any farmer to allow his cattle to
be tormented by such vermin, when they
are so easily destroyed.

A Comparison Eetween Eight of the
Prominent Agricultural Counties.
Among the prominct agricultural pro
ducers of the State, are Berks, Bucks,
Chester, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery,
Northampton and Westmoreland couutics.
Their wealth, it is true, does not altogether
consist of broad acres, fine wheat and the
best of agricultural implement, but it is the
foundation of their progress, the mainstay
of the population, and their agricultural
prosperity is the substantial evidence of fu
ture thrift. The figures arc taken from
the Ninth U. S. census report of 1S70.
The total estimated value of all farm
productions including betterments and ad
ditions to stock in Berks county was $9,
150,789 ; Bucks had aS,232,5G9 ; Chester,
SS,554,92S ; Lebanon, $3,100,020 ; Lehigh,
S3,0S5,S 11 ; Montgomery, 7,959,263 ;
Northampton, 63,402,200 ; Westmoreland,
8-1,170,090.
The produce of the market gardens in
the several counties is as follows : Berks,
$3G,224 : Bucks, $104,813 ; Chester, $35,
103 ; Lebanon, $2,371 Lehigh, $11,402 ;
Montgomery, $S0,505 ; Northampton, $22,
S49 ; Westmoreland, $2,408.
Chester takes the lead in the value of
five stock, being credited with $5,192,717
worth ; Berks has $1,544,490 ; Bucks, $4,
357,10S ; Lebanon, $1,020,335 ; Lehigh,
$1,949,157; Montgomery, $3,S35,237 ;
Northampton, $1,900,041 and Westmore
land, $3,02S,081.
As a wheat grower Berks appears at the
head of this list with 929,437 bushels;
Bucks 525.710 bushels ; Chester, $753,
S03 bushels ; Lebanon, 538,30S bushels ;
Lehigh, 300,945 bushels ; Montgomery,
310,874 ; Northampton, 473,295.
Berks leads the State as a rye producer
with 2S1,SG7 bushels; Bucks has 91,095
bushels ; Chester, 12,4S1'; Lebanon, 70,
18S ; Lehigh, 102,147 ; Northampton, 122,-
5S1 and Westmoreland, 43,SS5. Mont

He was a Simple Old Man.
A dried up old man, apparently sixty
years of age, strolled into a billiard parlor
in Binghamtou, recently, and taking a seat
watched the players with some interest.
After he had remained in the place for
some time he was approached by a hanger
on, on the outlook for a greenhorn, with
whom to play and serve the cost of play
ing.
"Hello, there, old man, do you ever
swing the cue ?" said he.
"Wal, stranger, I used to prance around
a little on a three cornered table fifteen
years ago, but I don't suppose I could hit
the first ball on this new fangled thing,
said the old man.
"Well, I'm no player myself; you'll beat
me easy enough, I know ; just take a stick,
replied the accomplished beat.
"Wal," said the innocent, "I'll play just
one game to see if I can scratch," aud they
both banked for the first shot.
The old man had singularly good luck,
for he got the first shot and made a run of
fifteen points. The other looked on in
astonishment, while the player of "fifteen
years - ago" was at work, and when he
ceased and counted up, the challenger mut
tered an oath, took off his coat, and went
to work iu earnest. He made five points
only : and the next time the old man ran
out the game.
"I swow," he said, "I've had the all
fircdest luck ; will you. try another ?"
"No, not by a darned sight, you old
fraud !" said the sport ; and he walked off
to pay for the game, amid the roars of his
companions, and a smile from the old man,
who remarked :
"It is strange how I remembered to play
so well."
Western New York is literally alive with
wild pigeons. Millions on millions of them
arc congregated in the forests in the neigh
borhood of Avon and Corning, from which
they issue at daylight and scatter over the
country in search of food, returning to their
wooded roosts at night. The farmers are
bagging them in immense quantities, for
market, and on the "brainnourishing"
theory we shall presently look for a marked
improvement in the intellectual tone of our
Democratic exchanges from towns contigu
ous to the region in question. Pittsburgh

Strong efforts arc being made among
farmers to encourage the crows as scaven

claimed that they may be made useful in

Keep Your Own Counsel.
Nothing can be more injurious to your
peace of mind than to have too many confi
dants. You live in abject slavery every
day, as you arc constantly fearing that
some one of your numerous confidants will
reveal a secret you would not have anybody
know for all the world. Wc know, in many
cases, it does the heart good to open its
door to a seeming sympathetic visitor ; but,
alas ! there is much more seeming thau
reality in this world of ours.
You will sit down and tell some one of
your acquaintance all your troubles, real
and imaginary, and say to them, "Now,
you are the only one in whom I have
confided, and I trust you will not speak of
this to any one else." Well, they promise
to respect your confidence, and at the time,
perhaps, they are in earnest ; but by-aud-by
some one steps in, and an irresistible desire
takes possession of them to retail all they
know of your history and a little is added
on to the fact, to make it interesting, you
know, to their friends not meaning any
real harm to you, probably, by so doing ;
but it does them good to talk it over with
that somebody else whom you warned them
against.
They, in their turn, tell this friend not
to say a word about it which Is one of
tlie hardest things to do. Yet they promise ;
but arc sure to break that promise as soon
as they get a favorable opportunity. Thus
your cherished secrets are known to the
community at large, while you go on iu
blissful ignorance thinking that your good
friend, Miss Jones, alone knows any thin;
about your heart-sorrows. Friend, if 3'ou
want a secret kept, keep it yourself. You
arc the safest person with whom to trust it.
MakiDg Soft Soap.
Mary C. West has the following chat
with a neighbor, and as she gives a few
good hints as to making soft soap, wc quote
entire :
"How did you run your lye ?' I asked.
"I put ashes in a large barrel till it was
full, and then allowed water to soak through
from the top in the usual way."
"Was your lyc strong enough to bear
an egg so soon as it came from the bar
rcl?".
"Yes."
"And did it seem to cut. up the greesc?"
"Yes.'
"Well, that was all right what was the
trouble with it, then ?"
"Why, the lye and the grease would not
unite ; when it had cooled the grease was
all on the top and the lye at the bottom
it's always just my luck."
"What kind of wood did you. burn to
make your ashes ?"'
"Oak, bay and magnolia."
"And what did you put in the bottom
of your barrel, under your ashes ?"
"Nothing but a little fine brush and
broom sedge, to keep the ashes from run
ning out."
"All has been perfectly right except the
last in that lies the secret of your bad
luck. You should have put at the bottom
of your vessel a few pounds of quicklime
that you arc likely always to find ncccs
sary when you burn swamp wood. Ashes
from swamp wood have a great power to
absorb carbonic acid from the atmostphcre
and carbonic acid produces the effect which
you name ; but lime neutralizes the acid
and makes it all right."
Woodchuck Oil.
Perhaps some farmers who arc troubled
by that little pest, the woodchuck, are not
aware that the oil of this animal is excell
ent for oiliug harness, boots, shoes and all
kinds of leather requiring a simple oil.
Several observing and practical farmers
with whom I am well acquainted say it is
equal to or better than neat's foot oil for
this purpose, and I know of my own ex
perience that it makes leather verr soft and
pliable.
It is useful for many other purposes lie
sides lard oil, which it very much resem
bles. There is no doubt but that it would
sell for a very fair price if its good quali
ties were generally known. The wood
chuck is very fat in the fall, and a good
sized one will yield a full quart of oil.
Sometimes the oil is obtained by baking
tho whole animal, but a still better way is
to take off the fat as free from blood and
fleshy parts as possible, cut it into small
pieces and try it over a slow fire, then
strain, bottle up and keep in a cool place.
The paper mill, barns and office of John
McLean, at Factoryville, two miles from
Ballston, N. Y., were destroyed by fire on
Friday night. The loss is from $05,000
to $70,000 ; iusuraucc, $32,000.

Tlie following is a comparative state
ment of immigrants arriving in the United
States for the five fiscal years ending with
June 30 :
1570, 337,203
1571, 321,35(1
1872, 404,80(5
1873, 459,S03
174, 313.339
Total. 1,880,501
The decrease, last year, as coiuparcd
with 1S73, is regarded as only temporary,
and is attributed to the general prostration
of business which followed the financial
convulsion of October, 1S73, and the conse
quent diminution of the demand for labor.
The immigration for the past two years,
notwithstanding the great depression in
bussincss aud labor, was greater than dur
ing any previous two years since the estab
lishment of the Government, with the ex
ception of years 1S53 aud 1S54.
The precious metals with which wc aro
generally acquainted are gold and silver,
but there arc eight more precious than
they. It is sufficiently hard for most "'peo
ple to get gold and silver, but indium,
vanadium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium,
uranium, osmium and iridium arc only
obtainable in microscopic quantities, and
hence are extremely precious. Indium- is
worth $2,250 per pound, or at that rate,
while gold is worth only $302, or there
abouts. The eight metals mentioned abovo
arc all more valuable than gold. Then
follow plantinum, thalium, chromium,
magnesium and potassium, which are more
valuable than silver but not so valuable .
gold. Silver is worth about $19 per pound,
and iron the most usefid of all metis
two cents !
The April report of the Department of
Agriculture states that the area in winter
wheat appears to have been increased last
fall about seven per cent. A small portion
of this area, partially or wholly destroyed
by the severity of the winter, will be re
placed by other crops. The condition of
the crop, as far as can be judged by its ap
pearance in April in the more northern
latitudes, before the ground is bare and
free from frost, Is below an average, and
far below the status of last spring. In tho
South, generally, the prospects are quite
flattering, and the crops secure against all
probable contingences, except rust. In the
West the general condition of the wheat
crop is below the average.
