The Selired Burglar.
"In a houe I was looking over In a
town up the State one nijrht," Kiid the
retired bu-glar, "leameaeros- hoiiu
thing that I never struck but that onee
in all my experience, etranReieJ it may
seem, and that was a lot of weldiii)?
presettts, all just as they were arranpeJ
for display. When I turned my lamp
into the room I wished I had brought
a horse and wagon; there was a good
deal of it that wouldn't have been of
any earthly use to me, but it Beetmnl a
pity to leave any of it behind. But if
I couldn't carry it all off I could have
the fun of picking, aud I started to
look the things over. They were ar
ranged on tables and chairs aud on the
floor around three sides of the room, j
on the side opposite to the side I had
oome in at, and on the sides to the
right and left, running around those
throe sides iu a sort of irregular order.
On the side where I was there were a
few chairs, I thought I'd start i:i on j
the left and work around to the right, j
and I started from the door and had
gone about three steps when I went
through the floor, as it seemed to ine,
but what I had really done was to step
down through an open register. I
supiose soruelwdy must have dropped
something down through it and have
taken it out to get it and forgot to put
it back.
"There was a wire screen under the
register over the pipe opening to keep
things from dropping down the pipe,
but it was very tine light wire, and it
didn't stop me at all; I just slid down
into the piK', pushing that along un
der my feet. When I dropped into
the pijie I had been facing to the left;
in some way as I went I got skewed
around so that when I got down as far
as I did go I was facing to the front;
that is, toward the center of the room.
The pijie didn't go straight down, but
with a curve. I had thrown up my
hands as I went down, and I supp ose
I might have gone plumb to the fur
nace if I hadn't clutched at the edge of
the register opening and hung on. A
Minute U-fore I was going to take my
pick of a roomful; now where was I?
'I had started across the room carry
ing my t:l bag in one hand and my
lamp i;t the other. Tiie shock when I
went down had shaken the bug out of
my hand, but I had held on to my
lamp, though it was lying on lis side
now with my fingers clutching through
the handle. The falling of the tool
bag and the striking of tiie lamp on
the floor and the scraping of the wire
gatise through the piie must have
made altogether a good deal of noise,
and I espected every minute to hear
somelHidy moving alxiut upstairs and
coming down to haul me out, but nv
Uxly did come, and I set my lump up
straight, and after I'd wailed a minute
or two more I started to see if I could
haul myself out.
"As I lay in the pipe my head was
U-low the level of the floor; by a great
effort I could raise myself so that the
upper half of my head was almve the
ojx'nir.g, but no higher; there was no
pxnii for play; when I got that high
I found myself with my elliows close to
my body and fairly wedged into the
pipe; I couldn't get any higher.
"I let myself down again, and after a
while I pulled myself up again and
held on by one hand and held up the
lamp and swung it around on the
things. Then I let myself down again
and wondered what I was going to do.
It wasn't only uncomforable there in
the position I was in; it was mighty
unpleasant every way. If I let go I
didn't know but that I'd slide down
against the furnace, and of course, I
couldn't stand it for an indefinite
length of time, and when I'd Ikx.:i in
the pipe I should imagine aUut two
hours I made up my mind that I
wouldn't try to stand it any loiigi r;
I'd got to come out some time, audi
mitrht just as well come out then; in
fact, Udter, for while my chances of
getting away at ali were mighty small
they would lie Letter at night than
they would l in the daytime.
"So I made up my mind to kick on
the iije and wake up the house and
have the thing settled. So I kicked
on.-e, twice, and then I kiek-d
again, and by snakes! I kicked the
pije ojk-ii at my feet; there was a joint
there, and I'd kicked it apart; and the
sections I was in sagged down with
my weight, and l slid out on the cellar
fl Hr. The sagging down of that part
of the jiijv detached it from the part
a-Ktvcnnd it fell on the cellar floor
along sid.; of me. That made noise
enough to wake evcryliody up; there
couldn't lie any doubt aliout that.
"I went out by the sam? ivliar win
dow t'.iat I went in by. It was the
first and only such lot of stun" that I
ever stru'-k, and I never got a thing of
it; in f.ict, I added something : it my.
self a set of tools at.d a dark l-intcrn."

The Swedish jiirrieultural college
finds the best time to apply nitrate of
soda to spring wheat to lie half at time
it sprouts and half when it is heading.
Wtvvl nshts can lie used on any
kind of crop with advantage, and they
also U'nelit the land. For orchards
and pasture wood ashes cannot be ex
celled. Winter dairying requires a great
deal of attention, but pr.icTly con
ducted it pays Utter than summer
dairying, for the prices are generally
Utter.
An implement that is not in good
order is ci-stly, as too much lost time
results from its use. Kxamine all the
implements, as an hour spent in such
work may save days during the busy
season.
Do not lie tempted to turn your
stiK-k on the pasture Ux-ause the grass
begins to start. The ground is unusual
ly soft in the spring, and the feet of
the animals will cut the pasture up.
It is a mistake to pasture cattle on very
young grass, as it is too laxative, an I
the grass is also kept back when it
should le kept growing. First get a
good stand of grass U-fore attempting
to use the field on which it is grown as
at pasture lot.
White clover should le grown
wherever U-es are kept as they can
work on white clover, but not on the
red variety. Although white clover is
not regarded as wort hy of growth for
hay, yet it is the U-st of all forage
plants for the pasture. Sheep will
h ave all other kinds for white clover,
and a-s il will grow on lands where the
red will not thrive it is one of the most
valuable aids for stock that the farmer
can have.

A Gaestianable Compliment.
P.ishop Lnwrenee, of Massachusetts,
was up at the eapitol the other day,
and his presence recalled to the mind
of a good Episcopalian Senator a story
which the i'.ishop told o;i himself. At
the time of the story the llishop was
ly.'un of the seminary at Cambridge.
Phillips Ilroofcs had just Uh-ii elected
Uishop, tin 1 had accepted, when one
fine mornhig President Eliot, of Har
vard, nut I).-:in I.-.nvronoe on the
street.
"The church has made the greatest
mistake of a Wfelim?," said the pres
ident to the .lean. "UfKiks was the
piot around which we revolved in
I5i..ii. Now j, on have spread him
out a'.l over Massachusetts. I tell you
it is a mistake; any one would do for
P.ishop.'
Time rolled on and death claimed
Itishop li-ro'iks, and Iattr Dean Law
rence was chosen his successor. A few
days after he again m t President
Eliot, and the latter was ahiM-t warm
in his fougraulatioiis.
"My dear I.ishop," he said, "I must
c 'tigratulate you. The church could
n't have made a U tter selection. I
thought you should have U-en the
eh'tiiv when 1! rooks was chosen."

Colonel Sidney Cooke, of Herrington,
Ivan., one of the malingers of the Na
tional Soldiers' Home, tells of a pe
culiar experience iu the army during
the civil war. At the outbreak of the war
he was a strapping New England Uy,
with streugth and vitality which stood
him well during his army life.
After taking part in several engage
ments, Colonel Cooke was shot in the
head and left on the battlefield as dead.
The Federals retreated from the field
and the Confederates soon ocupied it.
Colonel Cooke, who was then a private
was aroused to consciousness by some
one tugging at his Units. The Uols were
very tine au l the pride of his Loyi.s!i
heart, having U-en given to him by
the dear ones at home.
"A hit you dead, Yank?" asked the
Confederate, as he ceased tugging to
remove the boots from the feet of the
wounded Uy.
On U-ing assured that Cooke was
not dead a compromise was effected.
The Confederate brought the Union
soldier some water and carried him to
a Confederate surgeon. Iu return he
secured the coveted Uxits.
Cooke had a long convalesence, and
finally recovered sufficiently to lw sent
to Anders-iiiville Prison, where he
sutl'ered, in addition to the privations
of prison life, great pain from his
wound. This sullering continued even
after his release and his discharge
from the army ut the close of the war.
due day, long after war was over,
Colonel Cooke, who had settled in
Kansas, was seized with a violent
snee.ing. Justin the midst of it the
bullet was expclh-d from the nose.

The garden will soon be in order
for spring operations, and the first and
most important work should Iks to
rake it over with a large rake and
burn the dry material thus collected.
If it can be done conveniently, a U-tter
plan is to set fire to the dry grass and
weeds and burn the material over the
surface of the ground. It will leave a
clean surface and the work of spading
or plowing will lie Letter j,ierforiiied.
