PHOUD MISS M'ERIDE.
BY J. G SAXE.
0 terribly ptou 1 was Mi-s MacßriJe,
Proud of her beauty, ami pioud of her priJe,
A-vi prouJot fifty matters beside
Tuat wouldn't have borne direction;
Proud of her wit and proud of her walk,
Proud of her te th. and proud of her talk,
Proud of "knowing e'.ieese from ehalk,
On a very slight inspection.
Proud abroad, and proud at home,
P.eud wiieiever she ehmeel to coine,
When the Was «!a i ; and *hea she was glum;
Prcud as the head of a Saracen
Over the door of a tippiing shop !'
Proud as a Duches?, proud as a fop,
Prcud as a boy with a bran-new top,'
Proud heyoud comparison!
f «
Har binb, indeed, was uncommonly high,
For Miss Macßride first opened her eye
Through a sky-light dim, on the light of the
sky;
B'jt pride is a enrions passion,
An i t ilkiug about her wealth and w >rth,
She always forgot to mention h?r birth,
To people of rank and fashion '.
9 » » » «
An honest mechanic was Jc hn Macßride,
A- ever an honest calling p' e 1,
Or graced an honest ditty;
For John had worked in his early day,
In "P. t« and Pearls," tb~- legends say,
And ki pt a shop with a rich arrav
Of things in the soap f-.nd candle way,
In the lower part of the city.
Little by little he grew to be rich,
And by saving of candle-en Is and 's.ch.'
' Till he reached at last an opulent niclic, —
No very uncommon aifair;

* * * e *
Oid John Mcßride, one fatal day,
Became the unresisting prey
Of Fortune's undertakers!;
And staking his all on a single die,
His foundered bark went high and dry
Among the brokers and breakers !
At his trade again in the very shop
Where, years before, he let it drop,
He follows his ancient calling,—
Cheerily, too, in poverty's spite,
And sleeping quite as sound at night,
As when, at Fortune's giddy height,
He used to wake with a dizzy fright
From a dizzy dream of falling.
But alas for the haughty Miss Macßiidc !
'Tjwas such a shock to her precious pride!
She could n't recover, although she tried
Her jaded spirits to rally;
'T was a dreadful change in human affairs
From a "place M p Town,' to a nook 'Up
Staird,'
From aa Avenue down to an Alley ?
THE WIDOWS Mill.
How it Fooled Captain Peter
Muggins.
Adj unfortunate beiDg wbo ever
attempted to anything from
the Continent, and fell iuto the hands
of Captain Peter Muggins of her
British Majesty's Customs, on land
iug at Dover, never forgot the cir
cumstance.
The Captain was the one to vindi
cate the honor of the said British
Majesty. He was a short, stout, red
faced, well-fed and exceedingly ill
temp? red sou of Mars. Ilis martial
tread and loud-voiced oaths did not
convey Ihe idea of a carpet kuight,
yet he bad never faced tho foe nor
"sought the bubble reputation at the
cannon's mouth " No, he had con
tented himself with filling the
'■Queen's Tobacco pipe," as the kiln
where contraband goods were form
erly burned was somewhat profauely
styled.
The Captain was prepared to "fix"
any one who carried ashore one cigar
or one inch of lace, a pair of gloves
or any other item.
As he stood thus, watching the
coming ashore of the passengers with
a "stouy British stare," he espied a
ladv who walked with the gentle, ap
pealing, uncertain step of a young
widow.
,She was followed by a nurse, wear
ing the cap and apron of a French
bonne ; and in the arms of this nurse
was a baby, in loDg flowing white
robes.
The Captain was on the alert.
The lady came up to him and
throwing back her long crape veil, ad
dressed him in deep, musical ac
cents:
"You are the custom officer, sir?"
"I am," responded the Captain,
rather gruffly.
Now, the widow was sufficiently
beautiful to disarm even the ill-nature
of Captaiu Muggins, and just the
style of beauty he would be sure to
udmire.
The widow was beautiful, with
clear, brown eye—or, rather two of
them—yelvet-lidded, heavy fringed,
full aud lauguid.proue to lie cast down
modestly and upraised suddenly, to
the no small confusion of the luckless
male bystander.
She wore the full attire of woe. A
small crape bonnet, with a slight
frostwork of white uuder its brim,
rested on her glossy black hair.
Such hair! waiving, and shining,
and blue-black.
Her brow, so smooth and broad,
undisfigured by lunatic fringe or
bang. Her eyebrows were black arid
delicate, but not straight, nor arched.
Her nose might be a trifle large, but
it was beautifully formed and clearly
chiseled; and her mouth was beauti
ful, the lips so full, so beartlike, in
their proud arch, the coloring so fresh
and rich.
Then her complexion was of a soft,
ruddy, indescribable brunette tint, im
possible to picture in words, but
wholly charming; her chin was so
finely moulded, and her throat full
and round.
Altogether, the irascible Captain
thought, "The finest woman I've
seen for years!" For the widow's
form fully equalled her face, aud she
was handsomely dressed.
"I am, madame," he repeated.
"Where is your luggage?"
"Here it is. lam alone—that is,
with the exception of my nurse and
baby. I have to travel so much now,
aud always alone."
Tears seemed very close to the
widow'* lovely eyes, and a mourn
fully appealing tone touched even the
ironclad heart of Captain Muggins.
"All right, ma'am. Have nothing
to declare, I suppose ?"
"Nothing. Please examine my
trunks, for I long to rest, aud my
baby has been quite sea sick, poor
darling."
The trunks were examined care
fully, for, however fine a womau the
widow might be, "duty beforo senti
ment" was the Coptaiu's motto.
Nothing was found, aud the trunks
were passed.
Tho widow took the baby from tho
nurse's arms, and hushed it to sleep,
as it had evinced signs of disquietude
by beginning to whimper.
"A fine child, ma'am," said tie
Captain, who hated babies like poi
son
"Is it not beautiful; my Henry ?
the image of bis dear—oh I" a sob
completed the sentence.
He vrai beautiful—at least as much
as could be seen of him, for he was
one mass of lace and embroidery, his
rosv face half concealed by a filmy
veil.
"He is a fine fellow—how old
might he be?" The Captain's par
boiled eye 3 shone with interest; he
admired the widow more every mo
ment.
' Seven i onths to-morrow—poor
little dariing! To think how much
he has traveled!"
"He has ma'am!"
"Yes; by his dear father's straDge
will,l live six weeks in Paris tn l six in
England alternately "
"Rather troublesome for you,
ma'am "
"Oh, I don't mind for myself," said
the bewitching widow, with a swift
upward flash of her adorable eyes;
but my poor little boy—fancy, 1
might risk his health, might even
lose him," Here she seemed about
to give way to her feelings, but just
tbeu, as the Captain murmered "Oh,
I hope not," sympathetically, the
bonne came up to say that the car
riage waited, and with a hurried,
"Thank you so much—good by, ' the
beautiful widow disappeared.
"Ah! that's something like a
woman!" ejaculated the CaptaiD, as
he resumed his official duties, He
felt that Providence had been guilty
of gross injustice in not providing
him with just such a wife, instead of
faded, weak-eyed, heart-broken Mrs.
Muggins.
In three weeks the beautiful widow
returned to France, and in six weeks
she again had her luggage examined
by the Captain, who became more
deeply interested than before This
sort of thing cpntinued for nearly a
year. Captaiu Muggins was now
violently enamoured of the lovely
widow, who long ago had informed
him that her name was Mrs. Cecil,
and that her husband's death had left
her very wealthy, though sadly in
convenienced by the terms of his
strange will
Master Henry throve apace; he
grew wonderfully large and heavy,
and was a remarkable good boy—so
quiet
"lie is quite a sailor," said the
Captain, a3 he stood examining the
trunks after rather a stormy voyage.
"Yes; and, poor darling, he cried
so very dreadfully during the pass
age, he is quite worn out."
When the widow and the Captain
had been acquainted a year or so the
head officer of the department sent
for Captain Muggins one da}'.
He received him in his private of
fice, and'remarked as soon as he saw
him:
"I sent for you Muggins, for I
know your very sharp "
"Thank you sir," replied the Cap
tain, well pleased by the compliment.
"Well, Muggins, I have something
rather unpleasant to say."
"Yes, sir."
The Captain felt rather alarmed
"I've received information that a
noted smuggler has been getting
ahead of us for a year, bringing over
diamonds, laces, etc—thousands of
pounds worth of valuables. I have
known it for some time; but though
I've tried every way, I'm blowed if I
can spot him.
The Captain's face grew reddej
"I hope, sir, you don't imagine
that I neglect my duty?" he said
humbly.
Like 'all other bullies, he was a
great coward.
"No, I don't. But it is possible
that eome has been a little too smart
for you."
"1 scarcely think it possible," said
the Captaiu indignantly.
"Well, well, the thiog is that the
game is going OD, and 1 want to tell
you what I'm going to do. I've seut
to Scotland Yard for one of their
sharpest men, and he'll be on the
wharf the next trip."
No crimson dye of Eastern fame
could equal the tint of Captain Mug
gin's face.
A detective put on his wharf—to
overlook him!
He dared not offer a remonstrance;
but anyone who knew him could
judge for themselves what a nice time
his wife and daughter would enjoy
when he returned to his home, as they
were always the helpless victims of
his fury when any indignity was put
upon him by outsiders.
He left the office and returned to
his duties. Ilis blood boiled with in
dignation, and he scarcely replied to
the many questions asked him during
the day by those with whom he came
in contact through his official posi
tion.
When the steamer arrived and her
passengers flowed ashore in a stream
the Captain espied the widow advanc
ing with her u&ual smile, her nurse
and her baby.
"Ah! how are you, my friend?"
said the charmer, in her usual soft,
melodious ucceuts.
"Well, thank you. How is Master
Henry?"
"Oh, so well, so beautiful !"
The trunks were passed, and after
a few pleasant words the widow pre
pared to depart, but just as Julia, the
bonne, had announced the carriage a
quiet-looking man in a salt and-pep
pcr suit stepped up aud laid a profane
hand on the beautiful shoulder of the
charming widow.
"Caught again, Iky!" he said in a
pleasant manner.
The widow started. She glanced
around in terror and alarm.
"No use, Iky," said the salt ami
pepper man, 'l've wondering
why you keep so quiet. Game up,
old boy."
The Captain stood by in speechless
amazement while the detective arrest
ed the beautiful widow."
And the baby, Master Henry,what
of him?
He was disrobed of his lace and
his embroidery, and he proved to be
one mass of smuggled goods adroitly
built together on the foundation of a
bottle of the best French brandy, and
furnished with a waxen fa;:e and an
apparatus to make a noise resembling
the cry of an infant.
Tho Captain is still employed as an
officer of Iler Majesty's customs, but
he is more humble, for his beautiful
widow was a smart young smuggler
from Paris. He was singularly
handsome and made up as well asa
woman, and he had brought thous

Captain lives he will never hear the
last of the widow's baby.
Spring Team Work.
The time in which spring seeding
can be done to best advantage is often
verv limited. First frost and then
protracted rains often keep the ground
too cold and wet for profitable work
ing until along in May Then, to
sow the barley and oats and plant the
potatoes and corn before it is too late
to seed with any reasonable prospect
of reaping remunerating crops, work
must be rushed through with railroad
speed. Then the propelling force of
the farm must be fully utilized. No
sickness nor feebleness in the horse
teams, no shrinking on account of
galled breasts or necks can be tolerat
ed. All such casualties should be
guarded against, if possible.
Few farmers keep their full force of
horse teams in the condition of great
est efficiency through the entire win
ter. Sotne are kept on hay with lit
tle or no grain, others have their
shoes pulled off and are allo-vcd to
run out in the yard and uuder the
sheds during the winter. This may
possibly be a good plan, but fitting
them for spring work should not be
delaved too long Good solid flesh
should be worked on to the horses
and their shoulders hardened by such
moderate labors as will not gall them
Those farmers who delay prepar
ing their teams for spring work until
it is ready will not be able to drive it
through but will ba obliged to con
tinually favor their Worses. The
flesh, if suddenly put on, will be wat
ery, and the water wilt evaporate in
sweat, leaving the muscles soft and
flabby- To build up good muscular
cells horses require a liberal amount
of nitrogenious food, such as oats,
wheat or rye bran, oil meal, pea meal,
etc. Corn, or corn meal, while excel
lent to form fat, is one of the poorest
grains in albuminoids or muscle
formers. Corn may furnish heat,
force to operate the muscles, but to
form good, strung, durable muscles,
oats and bran are much better.
One of the greatest troubles in
plowing with horses in the spriDg is
the tendency of their breasts to gall
and become sore. It is almost im
possible to prevent some horses from
galling. Sweat and dirt gather un
der the collar, the skin becomes heat
ed and inflamed; soon becomes gore
and wears off. It is exceedingly un
pleasant to wo:k galled horses, com
pel them to press their sore breasts
against their collars when it i 3 very
painful.
One of the best preventatives of
sore breasts is cleanliness, keeping
both the collar and skin clean. Fre
quent bathing of the breast in cold
water not only cleans it but removes
feverishuess. Tincture of myrrh with
the water is a great help. The fol
lowing cintment is very good for
healing galls: Pulverized alum, 4 oz;
pulverized blood root, 4 oz; white
lead, 4 oz; calomel, 2oz Mix with
glycerine, sweet oil or lard. Another:
pulverized ca.stile soap, 4 oz; camphor
gum, 4 oz; calomel, 2 oz, mixed with
glycerine, sweet oil or lard —Ameri

She Kissed Her Pug Pup.
The affectionate manner, says the
Pittsburg Penny Press of 11th inst,.
In which a handsome and elegaDtly
atti/ed lady caressed an ugly pug dog
at Union depot this morning
caused several young braketnen of the
Pennsylvania railroad to turn almost
green with envy. Such a charming
ladv! And that she should throw
away her kisses upon u disgusting
little purp! Oh! It was too mean.
The young woman fully demon
strated that those who loved not
her dog should not admire her. She
came from Chicago and was en
route east Wbeu she attempted to
enter a car holding the pug in her
arms as tenderly as would a nurse
an infant child, the brakemau polite
ly informed her that it was agaln#tr
the rules to allow dogs on the pas
senger coaches. The word "dog"
sounded very harsh to the young
woman, and her eyes snap
ped and sparkled like the
the diamonds in her ears She was
indignant, and declared she would
not part with her pet. She rushed
into the depot to secure an order from
some of the officials allowing her the
the privilege ol taking the dog on the
car with her. She was unsuccessful.
Her train was called, and she made
another attempt to board the car.
She tried to conceal the "purp" un
der her arm and cover it up with her
clank, but the brakeman spied it and
stopped her again. This was too
much Her eyes filled with tears,
aud she cried aloud, but finally was
induced to enter the baggage car and
give the dog to Baggagemaster Char
ley Butler. Charley saw the woman
kiss the pug and give it a parting em
brace as she placed it iu his hands.
"I will try and keep it from getting
killed," said Mr, Butler, catching it
by tho scrull'of the neck. The own
er hastily eutored her own car, and
when the train pulled out was still
weeping.
They All Went.
A ladv promiueut in society cir
cles in Minneapolis, residing on Nic
ollet Island, entertained a small party
ot friends in a quiet,informal way one
evening last week. The party enjoyed
the lady's hospitality to such an ex
tent that miduight c:ime almost be
fore any of them were aware of it
The hostess, however, was weary,
and it seemed to her that her friends
would never get ready to go home.
She threw out numerous sly and in
genious hints, occasionally violated
etiquette by yawning, and anon look
ing up anxiously at the clock—in
short, employed all the arts in which
long familiarty with the ways of so
ciety had made her adopt Asa last
resort she resolved to overleap the
rules of propriety. Calling her
frieuds about her, she smilingly drew
on a piece of note p nine cyphers,
thus:

"Now," said the lady, "by attach
ing five straight marks to a certain
live of those cyphers you will arrive
at very surprising results " Toe la
dies and gentlemen figured over it for
a long time. Finally just as the clock
was striking 1, the solution of the
problem was found. The characters
on the sheet of paper looked like
this :

They all went.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Cut away oil the suckers from the
trees and get the orchard in shape.
There is nothing so unsightly as an
orchard containing suckers around
the base of each tree.
A distance of thirty feet apart each
way is suitable for apple trees, and
eighteen each way for peach trees.
The young trees should be kept well
trimmed and give good cultivation.
It is not the severe cold that kil!s
the small fruit vines, but the alternate
freezing and thawing. Hence the ad
vantage of a mulch, which protects
from sudden changes.of temperature.
In a majority of cases the orchard
is the last locatiou to be given culti
vation, while very often *he supposi
tion is that it should receive but lit
tle care. The best results are only
obtained from the orchard when it is
kept in as good condition as possible,
not only by being trimmed and the
suckers removed, but a liberal appli
cation of fertilizers made to the
ground.
HANDLE WITH CARE —As the
season approaches for the cows to
calve they should have careful hand
ling. A rough man should get the
grand bounce at cnce. Box stalls
should be rigged up ia which to put
the cows, to bear their young. After
calving two or three days the drink
should be warmed. If the cow is
weak scald some flour and mix it in
her drink or give her oat meal gruel.
This can be done by getting some
oats grouud aod sifting out the hulls
Such attention will pay. It the cow
is very fat cut down her food for a
few days, and so reduce the fever
Datural to her condition. A quiet
life is the natural thing for a cow
heavy with young.
Sow CLOVER SEED Now.—l)o not
neglect lo sow your clover pretty
soon if you intend to seed down your
wheat fields. Most farmers sow tim
othy with the wheat in the fall, but
when it failed to catch, it may still be
sown, especially if the wheat is not
too thick on the ground. Some of the
best grass sets we have ever seen
were made where wheat and timothy
were entirely killed by frost. The
surface was loosened by running cul
tivators over it. Oats to the amount
of one bushel per acre beiug then
sown and harrowed in, clorer and
timothy were sown on top, and the
ground rolled, The oats crop was
of course light, and was sown princi
pally to furnish shade for the tender
grass, which grew finely.
REPAIRING GIRDLE TREES-Y'ouog
fruit trees, especially apple trees, gir
dled by mice and rabbits are seldom
so badly injured as they appear to be.
Unless the inner bark is completely
gone, they, with proper treatment,
will recover Make a mixture of stiff
clay and cow manure, beating well to
form a stiff plaster, adding water, if
needed. A thick, ample coating of
this is placed over the wound, com
pletely covering it, and i 3 wrapped
around with old bagging or other
coarse fabric The chief object of this
is to keep the whole moist while na
ture heals the wound In a dry time
it is well to wet the bandages, etc.
AH the supply of sap is largely dimin
ished by the wound, the head of the
tree should be reduped by cutting
back the branches. If the wound is
very severe, it is sometimes bridged
over by the use of large cioas, one
end inserted uuder the bark below
and the other end above the wound.
Unless a tree is large and especially
valuable, it will rarely pay to be at
this trouble. Better replace the in
jured tree by another of the same size
and age.
EARLY VEGETABLES—If one has
any means for forwarding his veget
able plants, he can do much to hasten
crops. Not many farm gardeners
make use of hot beds or cold frames
yet these by starting their plauts in
window boxes, can gain some weeks
in earliness over those who sow their
seeds in the open air. Vegetable
"feeedsare hardy and tender. Those of
the hardy class may be sown this
month, while the tender kind cannot
be safely sown until the time to plant
Indian corn.
Determined to be Senator.
From the Chicago News.]
The other night Senator Hearst
was sitting in Chicago with a party
of friends, who were chaffing him
about the charge that his election to
the Senate had cost him SIOO,OOO.
The California millionaire confessed
that he paid out a good deal of mon
ey. "1 didn't care how much it
cost," he continued, "for I was bound
to git there. I took no stock in poli
tics till a year or two ugo. I was
busy making money, aud when 1 got
all the money I wanted I decided 1
would go in for honors. I looked
over the Chronicle almanac to see
what there was that would suit me,
and I concluded a Seuatorship would
fill the bill I might have been Gov
ernor, you know, but that is a local
cilice, aud 1 was pretty well known
locally, anyhow. Then there was
the House of Representatives. I
might have got there. But I had
seen men go to Congress and stay
there two years and attract no atten
tion and come home and bo nobody
at all, so I didn't see anything for me
in that line. But when I come to the
Senators I said to myself, that is just
what lam after. There was a list of
seventy-six Senators sent up for six
years, the representatives of 60,000,-
000 of people. They were honored
and feted and made a good deal of
everywhere. I looked down tho list
and I seen the names of a lot of fel
lows who wasn't any more account
than I, and some of them not so
much so, aud I said to myself, I'll
scratch my name on that list il it takes
every d cent I've got, aud I've
scratched it."

Scarlet Fever
The State Board of Health has is
sued a circular relative to that highly
contagious and infectious disease,
scarlet fever, which is to be more
dreaded than smallpox, for it cemot
be prevented by vaccination, and
claims its victims even in greater
numbers than that dread disease.
Along with diphtheria, it is the most
dreaded as it is among the most fatal
of the diseases of childhood, and it is
therefore highly desirable that all
parents should understand the nature
of the disease and the best ra< ans of
preventing its spread Sure throat
and tkiu eruptions are often the pre
cursors of scarlet fever, and when
these are detected, the patient should
at once be separated from the rest of
the family until a physician has been
called in or the symptoms Darned
have disappeared. One fact should
always be borne in mind, and that is,
the mildest cise of scarlet fever may
communicate the disease in its most
fatal form.
The poison of scarlet fever may be
communicated by personal contact,by
infected clo'hing, from the discharges
of the patient; in fact, from anv arti
cles which have been touched by him
uo matter how trivial they may be
The discharges of the nose, eyes,ears,
skin and body generally are consider
ed more dangerous than all else, and
this danger remains so long as the
skin is in an unhealthy condition and
peels off in flakes or scales. This
period is never le3S than forty days,
and sometimes is twice as great. The
time which intervenes between the
exposure to contagion and the ap
pearance of the disease is various—it
may be 6ix days or four times as long,
so that parents are often deceived as
to the source of the infection.
Scarlet fever is usually regarded as
one of the diseases of childhood, auJ,
in fact, the greatest number of deaths
from it are of children under ten
years of age, but nevertheless it is
sometimes contracted by adults, and
although in a mild form, they may
convey it to children itfits most ma
lignant shape. Usually one attack
prevents a recurrence; neither is it a
disease to which all children are sub
ject; many are not attacked by it, and
none would be if the poison germs
could be kept from them.
As it is the result of a special poi
son, the first step to secure immunity
is to prevent the exposure ot children
to its influence. When the disease
breaks out in a school, the pupils
should at once be withdrawn, and
kept from those houses where it ex
ists. When it appears in a family,
those children not affected should be
removed to other places, out of dan
ger. The oarents should refrain from
attending church or other public as
semblies as much as possible.
Pure water should be used as far
arit is procurable. If there is auy
doubt about its character, it should
be boiled. Care should also be given
to pure foods and milk, and these
should never be received from homes
in which the disease is known to have
been within a recent period. Clean
liness is another precaution that is
strenuously insisted upon, as filth is
considered a promoter of scarlet fever,
Sewer gas must not be allowed and
all foul odors of whatever kind should
be destroyed. All these precautions
may not prevent the contagion in
certain cases but they nevertheless
may do so in many, but their observ
ance is therefore of the utmost impor
tance.
WIRE FENCES.
Damages Allowed in Pennsyl
vania for Using Such Fences
From Pittsburg Telegraph, April 15.]
A case has been decided in this
State which is of great importance to
Pittsburg wire fence manufacturers.
It is probable that the Supreme Court
will have to pass on the matter. A
special fi*om Madrid, Delaware coun
ty, says:—
A case has just been tried before
arbitrators in Delaware county, in
volving the right to maintain barbed
wire fences. John II Irwin, of Mor
ton, had barbed wire fences on his
property adjoining the public road.
It was composed of light iron posts
and four strands of wire. A horse
ridden by E. Claude Goddard ran into
it, injuring himself seriously, iu con
sequence of which, it was claimed, he
died.
Tho claim set up was that the horse
did not see the fence, and that such
fences are dangerous because animals
are disposed to run into them and in
jure themselves.
The case has been decided in favor
of the owner of the horse, to whom
damages was awarded. This is one
of tho first cases of the kind that has
come up in this State, and it is very
likely that it will be carried to court
on an appeal.
The question was decided in the
Supreme Court of New Jersey, in the
case of Karl Polak vs. Caroline and
Samuel Hudson, in which it wa9 held
that the owner of the barbed wire
fence was liable for damages.
Danger in the Bottle.
Mr. G. W. Fittou writes to the
Chemist and Driujgist that he has
narrowly escaped what might have
been a serious affair. "Not having
the blind down iu front of the win
dow as usual," be writes, "and the
sun being very strong, the rays, after
passing through a large carboy filled
with the usual solution of bichromate
of potash, were thrown on to the
woodwork of the window inclosuro,
soon burning a piece nearly inch
thick and 4 inches long; more would
have followed had I not discovered it
in time. Should like to know," he
adds, if you have hoard of a case like
this occurring before?"
There have been a number of simi
lar incidents recorded, and it stands
druggists in haud to be careful about
displaying globular shaped jars in
their windows where the sun's rays
can be refracted by them.
The Force of Habit.
Omaha Man—My dear, that new
girl has got to go.
Omaha Dame—You must be cra

so quiet and respectful, and such a
cook.
"No matter, she isn't honest."
"We can afford to lose a little su
gar or tea now and then. Perhaps
her folks are very poor."
"That isn't it. I saw her early
this morning creep iuto our room,
take mv purse out of my pocket and
nearly empty it."
"Oh! well, maybe its only habit,
my dear. She's been married, you
know,"

"N'ow, while they're absent, do not tease,

At once the knob that graced his cane
John from his mouth withdrew,
And said: 'l* won't; don't think Miss Jane
That I'd do that to yon."
A deeper silence ihen en.-ucd

John vigorously his cxne knob eh wed,

And thus they sat till half past ten:
And when John rose to co,
And asked if he eii! n^v.n,

While the old heathen rule, do
right if the heavens should fall, seems
played out; yet the heavens have
fallen; aud what a fall uiv eountry
men. Aud what are we going to do
about it, is the next thing? So
many of the lower classes having re
lied on religion, morality, law, per
sonal character aud common sen«e to
sustaia the ruling of cur court in 1886
on license, and now to fiud the weli
considered and well founded views of
a decided majority of our best citizens
and lawyers (one lawyer with right
on his side is a majority against the
w r orld in the wrong) swept away, not
by positive law, but bv the discretion
ary power vested in our judges by
the people, for the people's good.
Now, under the circumstances, what
is left to ;the people ? Is there no
help for the widows, sons and daugh
ters, the weak and tempted, the
young and strong, the hope of the
country, the pride of their parents?
Must they have the powers of earth
and hell united against them, and no
one be permitted to speak for them
under penalty of contempt of court?
It's a miserable muddle; respect aud
honor, bud and ungrateful as the
world is, will mostly follow thoso
who can honestly re?pect themselves,
and only those. And now three
times three for the applicant who was
manly enough to admit that license
was not necessary in to eater

its way to the waste basket, we wish
it to embody our parting malediction
on the liquor trade us it is and has
been for the last fifty years and say,
that while the lamp of l'fe holds out
to burn, and a corporal's guard can

Beating a Minneapolis Hotel.
"There are plenty of ways of beating
a hotel," said a traveling man to a re
porter *he other night in the Millard
rotunda, "but the most ingenious
scheme I ever heard of was practiced
by a friend of mine, a variety actor,
in Minneopalia a few days ago. He
had been on a spree for two or three
weeks, and was finally discharged by
the manager of his company ic Mil
waukee. He wanted to go to Minne
apolis, and had just money enough to
get there. What to do after he
reached the Minnesota metropolis lie
did _not know, for he had barely
enough money to pay his traveling
expenses. He pondered long over
the matter. Finally a bright idea
struck him. He sat down and wrote
u long letter to the proprietor
of a well-known hotel on
Nicollet aveaue, penning the epistle
on the letter head of a Milwaukee de
tective agency. The letter ostensi
bly signed by the chief of the agency,
informed the hotel proprietor that a
well-known criminal whom the Mil
waukee detectives desired to shadow
closely was expected to ar
rive in Minneapolis, and would prob
ably stop at the hotel on Nicollet ave
nue. The letter stated that it was
necessary to observe the strictest se
crecy concerning the matter, and re
questing that the criminal be treated
with the utmost deference so
as not to cause him to suspect that he
was under surveillance. His board
bill, the letter stated, would be paid
by the detective as soon as evidence
enough was procured to secure his
arrest. The inscription which was
given in the letter of course was that
of my friend the variety actor.
"It is hardly necessary to state
that tho plan worked to perfection.
The "criminal" landed in Miuneapo
lis, lived on the fat of the land for
three weeks, and one night quietly
packed up hiß grip and stole away.
The Clergyman's Mistake.
"You have daughters, have you
not, sir?" said a minister to an old
gentleman with whom he had formed
a causal acquaintance as a fellow-pas
songer.
The old gentleman essayed to ans
wer, but the question strangely affect
ed him.
"1 beg your pardon," said the min
ister, gently, "if I have thoughtlessly
awaked in your mind recollections of
a painful nature. Tho world is full
of sorrow, sir, and perhaps my ques
tion recalls to your memory a fair,
beautiful girl, whose blossoming
young life withered in its bloom.
Am I not right, sir?"
"No, not exactly," replied tho old
gentleman, sadly, "I have five un
married daughters mister, and the
youngest of the lot is twenty-eight
years old."
The Right Answer in the First
Guess.
One of the members of a school
committee undertook to sharpen up
the wits of the boys by propounding
the following question: "If I had a
mince pie, and should give two
twelfths to John, two-twelfths to
Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry, and
should keep half of the pie for myself,
what would there be left?" There
was a profound study among the boys
but finally one held up his band as a
signal that he was ready to answer.
"Well, sir, what would there be left?
Speak up loud, so that all can hear !"
said the committee man. "The
plate !" shouted the hopeful fellow.
The committee-man turned red in the
face, while the other members roared
aloud.
