The Eoston Girl Again.
She cau warp a ' grand pianner,"
In a most artistic manner,
She can paint in water colors and chocbet;
Can converge in French or Russiau,
In Irish, Dutch and Prussian,
And knows the cariy history of Bombay.
She understands psychology,
Metaphysics and biology,
Her mathematics make her look "iuten-e.'
She talks of protoplasms
I'nti! you have the spasms—
She converses ou the "wliichuess of the
lience."
She's :» mandolin musician,
They say she is a Titian,
She can also hammer brass and antique gold.
She wears a pair of glares,
And looks down upon the masses
With fierce contempt and manner \ erv cold.
In other words, her culture
Soars aloft like the 1 old vulture
And views the world from elevated scenes.
They say I;er mind is lost on
T e fact that slit's from Boston,
Tlie home of modern "culehaw" and baked
beans.
A JAPANESE LOVE STORY.
At one end ->f tho long street form
ing the village of Morioka, in Japan,
stood the low thatched cottege in
which the sisters O-Suba and Niya
lived with a widowed aunt. Their
father had fall* n in battle, and his
wife soon followed him to ih" grave,
committing her chiidren to the care
of their only remaining relative,
O-Suba, the elder, was a brunette,
with fparkliog black eyes and white
teeth that shown between full, ruddy
lips. She was talier than Niya, who
was fair aud slight, with mild blue
eyes and a scft voice.
For over a year O-Suba had been
betrothed to Kampei, the son of a
neighboring farmer. Their parents
had arranged the matter. Though it
was not made formal by an exchange
of presents, the young people regard
ed it as setlled; and the marriage was
deferred only until Kampei returned
from a campaign against a rebel
prince, in which he wr,p to follow
his lord, his father being too old to
take the field.
When the young man called on the
sisters in order to say adieu, he was
mortified by O Suba's manner, which
seemed to show that she regarded
his absence a3 a reprieve; and his face
betrayed his feelings.
"Do not look thus, good Kampei,
before your commander!" she said
laughingly. "He will think you a
coward. Go aud win booty aud
come back covered with glory. Who
would not be a soldier rather than a
mean farmer?" she said with anima
tion. "A warrior is a gentleman,
has his pocket full of bright silver
and is esteemed by his lord. Go,
Kampei; I shall despise you if you
hesitate."
Kampei was stung by her tones
and rose hastily. A deep sigh reach
ed him, aud on turning around he
saw «iya Pittipg in a corner of the
room, her face buried in the icose
sleeves of Ler robe.
"Farewell, Niya," he said, •
A sob ro9e in the girl's throat as
she replied, "Farewell, Kampei.
And remember," she filtered, "that
if anything occurs to you, I—we
shall be broken hearted."
"Vcu will not forgei me, O Suba ?
It will cheer me to know that."
"I shall not forget you," she said
impatiently; aud the young man left,
catching a glance as he closed the
garden gate of O-Suba waving a gay
adieu, and of Niya with her face bid
den in her bands.
One day, a fey i*ontbg after Kam
pei's departure, bis mother caliea at
the cottage, and after relating a piti
ful tale of bad harvests, poverty and
debt, said that her husband, who was
in feeble health,would be sent to. pris
on if she could not get eighty riyos,
and sbe begged H-Suba, as her son's
beirothod, to at least lend that sum
io ber, O-Suba treated the poor wo
man harshly, refused the money and
rcmineled her visitor that as presents
iiro not yet exchanged their marriage
must not be regarded as oert&in.
Niya in vain urged her aunt to ap
ply a portion of her little fortune to
the. farmer'* reljof. fjer relatives
were obdurate, and the old woman
was going away sadly, when the
younger girl sprang up, thrust her
feet into her sandals aud hurried af
ter the visitor, overtaking her before
she reached the gate.
"When must you have the money?"
she askc4-
"Witbin three days, Niya."
"You shall have it," said the girl;
and escaping from the thanks and
blessings of the old woman, she re
turned to the hou.-e. She threw her
self on the mat m a corner, clasped
her hands and pucjiered her brow
thoughtfully.
Suddenly she uttered a joyous cry.
The screens were drawn back, leav
ing the whole front of the house
open, and x< iya cay a pair of swal
lows lly into the room and perch ou
the space between the wails and the
ceiling, chirping and chattering to
gether busily.
"See, sister, the pretty birds are
going to buiid; good fortune will be
ours. Sh—h—b ! Dear O-Suba, do
no'j disturb them and she laid her
hand imploringly on her sister's arm
as O-Suba laughed at her enthu
siasm
Niya sat there eagerly watching
the poveruents of the birds and their
many (lights to uuu uG while build
ing their nest
Her relative went out soon ajiter
and Niya, after a long looji at the
still busy swallows, dressed herself
And went out, too. When O-Suba
aud her aunt returned Niya was not
at home and it was long before they
saw her face.
When the army to which Kampei
belonged was disbanded his eotarades
gave themselves up to revelry, while
he, eager to see O-Suba aud anxious
to see about his parents, of whote
ward.
He was within a short day's Jour
ney of his native village, when tow
ard sunset he reached a tea house
bearing on one of the post 3 the sign
"Chayaof the Verdant Cherry Blos
som..-' Tfao ac;esns forjpinj *bo front
were thrown back, showing the
whole inside of the house, divided in
to apartments by movable partition l -;
and in one of the rooms a uumber ol
"~ent'emen retainers" sat drinking,
their songs teauuing tu«< puJStrtJ l.y
mingled with the noise of their quar
rels.
As Kampei cast away, outside the
veranda, his dusty sandals some of
the f emale attendants ran out to meet
him witn cries of weicotae.
BIITLF.R. PA., FRIDAY, OOTOBRK 14.1887.
"Good afternoon, tir ! Be good
enough to walk inside and rest, sir.
The sun is hot, the roads are parched
and you must le weary. We have
liquor of Ten.-uii aad Satsuma tobac
co and fragrant tea."
With many bows they led him in
to an unoccupied room, and when
food aLd drink were placed before him
he was left alone. He was soon
waited on by another girl, who came
to inquire if he wanted anything
more, and Kampei was astounded to
recognize in the newcomer Niya—
but not the Xiya in quiet attire, with
downcast looks, whom te left behind
at Morioka. She bad gay clothes;
her hair was adorned with large gold
headed pins and her face powdered.
Xiya drew back in confusion on"
seeing Kampei; then, collecting her
self she advanced, and, pretending
not to recognize him, saii: "A gen
tlemen of the army of chastisement
is welcome to the ehaya. We are
thankiu! that he deigns to honor our
humble fcouse by stopping here,"
Kampei's face was grave as he
uirked: "How ia this, Niya? Has
misfortune overtaken your family
that O Suba and your aunt have per
mitted you to become a menial in a
tea house ?"
The girl hung head, but did not
answer. Had he been merely
scornful at her loss of caste, she
could be defiant; but he was evi
dently sorrv for her.
"Why have you doue this, Niya?"
the young mau continued reproach
fully. "Vou were not bora «u pover
ty; you were happv; why, then did
you leave home for such au occupa
tion as this?"
Niya looked at the mats silently.
Ilea lips quivered, the blushes that
mounted from bor throat to her fore
head faded away, pursued by a dead
ly paleness, aud her limb? trembled
so much that she dropped on the
grcuud and bid her face in her broad
sleeves.
Au old man entered from the ver
anda. aud, after bowing to Kampei,
described the girl motionless, with
her head leaning agaiust a partition.
"How!" he cried, angrily, "moping
in this way with the house full of
guests —troublesome fellows, too,
like those samuari, who curse aud
threaten if they are delayed but one
moment. Up this instant, I say, or
I shall use my whip on your shoul
ders! '
Niya seemed giad to escape from
Kampei's questions, aud she with
drew, followed by the master of the
house.
Drawing the tobacco stand toward
him Kampei filled and lit his pipe,
aud while smoking puzzled himself
in endeavoring to explain Xiya's
presence there. The singing in the
adjoining chamber grew more bois
terious, and sometimes Kampei heard
the clash of swords, the voices of the
frightened attendants and the entreat
ies of the proprietor. Ic all jarred on
the young man's feelings, aud were
it possible he would left the place.
But there were only miserable villa
ges between the chaya aud Morioka,
and apart from hiß fatigue, the way
was lonely and dangerous on account
of robbers.
He strolled to tho back of tho inn,
aud pursued a little flagged path to
ward a rustic sumrn er house erected
on an artiuciijil mound. A gli&bt
railing on either siete divided the
path from the garden, where the sum
mer chrysanthemums, the peonies
and pinks were bursting iuto bloom,
while the camelia, azalea aud prim
rose gave forth expiring strength in a
few delicate flowers Some late vio
lets peeped timidly from the shadow
of a huge rock: around the lattice
work of the summer house vine ten
drils struggled with dainty clematis,
aud cherry blossoms, from which the
house was named, bloomed in gay
profusion everywhere.
Sitting there in the silence of the
evening, the soft landscape spread
out beneath him, the odor of tlie gar
den mounting to the arbor, Kampei
almost forgot his receut annoyance
and indulged in pleasant dreams of
the future. Dusk was advancing,
when he was startled by seeing Niya,
wl.o iiac} approached notselosely,
standing in the doorway, bha uttered
a little scream ou finding the summer
house occupied, aud was about to go
awey, when Kampei recalled her and
desired ber in a harsh voice to sit
down. She obeyed, the blood mean
while mounting indignantly to her
forehead; and when Kampei looked
severely at her she hastily brushed
ftwav the traces of recent tears and
said" deijantlV:
"Frown not thus, good Kampei,;
I am not O Suba, vour betrothed; 1
am only Niya. Are not my parents
dead? And who, then, will dare to
reprove me it I do what I please? Go
j.O AJorioka, anq let ant]
O-Suba foi-get the wretched K'iya,
who will never return to her home."
She rose to her feet while speaking
cud was about to leaye, when Kam
nei again stopped her a.id said sor
towiuliy.
"You have choaeu a mean calling
that your parents would have reject
ed as vulgar and disgraceful; their
spirits are displeased, aud you can no
more visit their tombs or pray before
the god shelf with a peaceful mind.
There was a time that I thought I
loved IJiya mure than ()-Sqb», cn<l
now—yah, yahj" he continued scorn
fully, after a pause, "get away, you
low creature ! You are no longer
anything to me but the miserable tea
attendant!"
He turned away from her with a
gesture of anger. Sub classed her
hands tt> her side and staggered
against the frail structure trembling;
then, looking at him wildly, she ut
tered a heartbroken cry and rushed
down the path, past the house and
across the broad road.
Kampei followed the girl with his
eyes, aad, when uu saw her uiimb
the bank on the roadside aud spring
into the river flowing slowly beyond
he muttered to himself:
"The death of a dog is good
enough for one with so mean a soul'"
j+ut btiiUii - tLoughts ijuiciiiy f,ar»je,
and he determined to try and save
her.
Niya rose to the surface of the wa
ter, and her clothing buoyod her for
some moments. She did not strug
gle, keut her hands thrust into the
sleeves'oi uur roue, eshe sanw
in the smooth current, and as her
face became buried her fortitude des
erted her, aud she threw up her
arms with a skilled shriek.
7i;c b;;l.b'ea tfcat r,)arJ-c<J tl,e srot
where sho sank were almost gone
when Kampei reached the bank di
vested of his sandals and outer garb
mentis. He sprang into the stream
and succeeded in seizing the drown,
»i»k fjiri, who, though n w arly iMSbU-
sible, grasped him tightly about the
nock, hindering his movements
Kampei, finding the place shallow,
put his feet upon the ground, but to
his terror they sank iuto deep mud,
and he felt the water gradually ris
ing upon hiiu. lie strained every
muscle, but the water still mounted
until they were both covered. A
roar as of thunder filled his ears, and
his head seemed about to burst, but
he managed to preserve some cool
ness By a violent effort he loosen
ed Niya's frantic embrace, aad still
grasping her clothing, struggled out
of the mud aud gained a firm foot
hold, exhausted and gasping for
breath.
Though his strength was almost
gone and his knees he held Niya to
his breast, looking anxiously iuto her
face. Her eye 3 were closed, and her
head fell heavily on h's arm, the hair,
from which the fastenings were gone,
failing over his shoulder in a thick
mass and floating on the stream
The incident had been observed
from the chaya, and a number of men
now stood oa the bank, by whose aid
the two were soon placed in safety.
When Kampei had seen the girl re
stored to animation and given in
charge of the female servants, he was
forced to join the other guests by
whom he was clapped on the shoul
ders and praised as a hero.
He slept soundly until awoke by
the harsh sound of the shutters be
ing moved in grooves aud by the
sunlight pouring in through
t-jruyus. Being de
sirous of avoiding Niya be did not
wait for breakfast, but set out at
Kampei was overjoyed on reaching
home to find his parents well and
happy, their only trouble since his
departure having been that caused
by the avarice of their landlord lie
wa3 pained to hear of O Suba's un
feeling words ou the occasion of his
mother's visit to the cottage, aud
tho old lady's story made it evident
that the subsquent sending of the
money was chielly due to Niya's in
tercession. Then it occured to him
that the girl's present position might
bo owiog to a quarrel with her rela
tive on this very subject, and the
idea made him remorseful. Finally
he was informed that, despite her en
gagement to him, O-Suba bad during
his absence fouLd another lover, a
European trader at one the ports,
with hair and beard golden as the
tress of the sun goddess, aud that
there wera rumors of their approach
ing marriage.
His thoughts turned to poor Niya,
neglected by her relatives, insulted
by him, and lafc to battle alone with
a world that is so cruel to the weak
Kampei long lay awake that night,
and the result of his meditations wa3
made known to his parents when he
sp"ang from his mat soou after day
break. The old couple approved of
his proposals, and went to the veran
da to say farewell, and to watch him
fondly as he walked with a light
step towards the highway, tying un
qer his hg went his oohical
broad brimmed straw hat. Before he
had gone far his father called him
back. "Take my purse, sou," he
said; "chaya keepers are very bird to
deal with unless they see the money
bag in your hand. You will Rod iu
this the gold j.ie„es you brought
home yesterday."
The »uu was still high in the heav
eus when Kampei stopped at tho
' Chaya of the Verdant Cherry Blos
som," and, after exchanging saluta
tions with the proprietors, begged to
see the girl Niya. She was brought
iuto his presence, looking pale and
alarmed, and casting timiel glances at
the young man from uneloi* ber long
lashes. Her bands played nervous
ly with her robe and she looked
about anxiously for a place a3 far as
possible from Kampei.
"Xiya," he said, "lam not angry
with you, but I want to know F h y
you ieft home.-'
A faint cry was her only reply.
"Had I any connection with it—
I, Kampei ?"
The girl wrung ber hands and
turned her face away, looking dis
trcsseel, vyithout, however, uttering
a word.
"Would you like to come homo
again, little Niya t" ho went on In an
encouraging voice.
"Yah, yah ! you are too fast, young
sir! broke in the master, who was
sitting on the veranda smoking, and
listening to Kimpei. "You are too
fast. She is mine for two years. I
have the Qik'Ued yy hc» ! -
seu, with her receipt for the money."
"Money !" cried Ivampei. "She
has sold herself, then. But,"he con
tinued more calmly, "1 am willing to
pay you back again. See," and say
ing this ho drew out his purse, stav
ing to thw paster or'the house a nurh
ber of gold coins. "How much was
it, I pray you, good sir?"
"Eighty riyos," the host replied.
"Eighty riyos," echoed Kampei, a
light ''awning rpon hiqj.
'"Why," the host went on angrily,
"that is the very purse in which I
gave the girl lbs mouey, and yet you
pretend not to know th it she is bound
to me ! What is the meaning of ibis
deceit?"
Kampei recoiled. All was now
plain to Lira. To save his parents
fro in ruin, bis Uther probably irrom
death, this poor girl, tenderly reared,
sold berslf into virtual slavery,
exhausting labor, ill-treatment, even
stripes, would be her lot! And he had
almost allowed her to drown herself
when driven mad by his tav.nts! Poor
ijiyai Aud she did this rot —v?aa it
for his parents or for him? The ques
made thoughtful
Meanwhile Niya, her forehead
pressed against the partition, sobbed.
The moment she longed for had ar
rived. Kampei now knew why she
was there, knew that it was for I,is
sate she tort her dear village; ' Vet
she was frightenened. What bus
iness had she to interfere in the af
fairs of grown people? What did she
know of the great world that 3he
should face it so lightly'' Above ey
urytiiiiag tbeiie v*aa Eauipei oniy a
low feet from her, looking at most
intensely—she know it without turn
ing around; she felt his gaze pierce
her—there was Kampei and what
should she do?
u "ampei ro?e riored to a s|ua
and 1 whispered;' "Was it for my sake
you did this, Niya?"
"Why should I do for you?" she
replied, evasively.
"Niya," he said, looking sharply
r,t htr, "4 aw 1,0 longer nllianced ' to
O-Suba; she loves a fair haired for
eigner, and about to marry him "
She turned quickly, her cheeks
glowing eyes sparkling through
mist, and iu th<s happv sir>ile that
tit up her lace kampei reaa her au-
cret.
'.Then you love me!" he cried, aud
Niva's smile and blush said "Yes."
"Vou did notoosult the girl's :ela
tives,"said the young man turning to
the host.
"She told me she had none," stam
mered the other alarmed for the le
gality of his agreement.
"Destroy the indenture, and re
ceive back vour money, good sir, I
beg," said Kampei.
The tea house keeper agreed, and,
while the two men drank together he
confided to K impM that he WPS not
sorry to cancel the bargain, as the
girl did not suit. "She moped too
much," he said; "she had t-ome hid
den grief—the cause of which," he
added,with a smile, "I can now di
vine."
O Saba and her husband left
Morioki, and went to live ii
one of tho Ofea ports; and
Kampei and Niya after their marriage
occupied the cottage formerly ten
anted by the sisters. They now
have three children, whom their rela
tives combine to ruin by indulgence;
and the eldest a sturdy boy, already
speaks of the time when he will wear
his father's sword, and take his place
in fighting against the enemies of the

Bee Notes For October.
In all the Northern States all ar
rangements for winter should be com
pleted this month; and in the South
when the hoiey flow has ceased.
Each should have proper absorbing
material above and holes in the caps.
Give proper veutilatiou, but contract
the entrance so that mice caunct gain
admittance, for bees have no greater
enemy during the winter than mice,
and it is surprising through how
small a space they will gain admit
tance. Unite all small and queenless
colonies together, make winter pas
sages, by laying small sticks of about
one inch in diameter, across the top
of frames, under the cushion. Su
persede old queens by introducing
young ones, {t is essential that ev
ery feto'-k have a good, young queen;
this not only avoids the necessity of
disturbing the bees in the early
spring—when they should never be
disturbed—but a young queen will
lay earlier than an old queen, and
there is no danger of losing her by
old age.
Some stocks may have niore toney
tliau necessary, while others have not
enough. If so, equalize them by di
viding with the poorer colony; at
the same time see that some empty
cells are left upon the centre combs
for the bees to cluster on. It frames
are all full it would be well to cleau
the honey frqm a oomb and place in
centre for this purpose. When the
weather is very cold it ia advisable
to make holes through the centre of
combs, in addition to the cross-sticks,
to serve as winter passages. It must
also be borne in miud that good win
tering depends on plenty of young
gees, with a tortile queen, an abund
ance of good scaled honey easily acces
sible, and warmth with proper venti
lation. A cotton quilt with three or
four thicknesses of batting makes as
good an absorbiug material as can be
used. If this caqcot ba obtained,
take <tooic burlaps and make cush
ions about tour inches thick, and stuff
these with chaff or sawdust.
In uniting beea smoke them thor
oughly, and then sprinkle them with
some sweetened water. The water
may be scented with anise or pepper
mint. Now shake the bees altogeth
er into empty boxe3, using tbe h93t
combs of brood and honey to place
in the hive, in which you intend to
winter them, then pour the bees on a
entrance, when they will take pos
session and no fighting will result.
Should any boxes have been left on
until this month, they should no\? l_o
removed, nips',y efeaneci of all pollen,
and then packed, as neatly and se
curely as possible, in crates with glass
sides. Do not glass your boxes, as
it spoils the otherwise neat appear
ances of your honey as well as !cg,sj
ens its market y£;lt;e.H you hcive ex
tracted honey, drain off any thin ho
ney on top of jar. Seal It np as neat
ly as possible and label with your
name and address. If you winter
in-doors never set bees in until cold
weather commences in earnest*—

Relation of the Saloon to Poli
tics.
Hon. Win. Windom at Ecfeland Park.]
The statement would perhaps be
more accurate to say the relation of
politics to the saloon; for in most of
our ci*ies the dnnkiug saloon is the
central pjwer arouud which politics
revolve, aud which dictates candi
dates and party politics Even in
our National election* if sometimes
exercises a controlling influence and
decides Presidential contests, By
the peculiar relation of political par
ties New York has become a pivotal
state. The saloous rule the city, the
city rules the state, and the state de
cides what shall be the ruling power
of the Republic. We are, therefore,
to all intents and purposes, a ruui
ruled nation. We shall not be sur
prised at the übility of this organiza
tion to accomplish these results if
we glance at its magnitude and re
sources
It claims to have, ia the United
States, $1,000,000,000 invested in tbe
business of making andseliing liquor.
There are at least 500,000 direct em
ployes. Millions of poor miserable
viciims and camp-followers stand
ready to do its bidding. It is sup
ported and defended by the viciou-*
Uabits, appetite', passions and preju
dices, of millions of our people. Its
revenues are larger, and the percen
tage of profits far greater, as the sta
tistics prove, thau arc derived from
all of our 140,000 miles of railroad.
Add to all this, the disgraceful fact
that, with these mighty at
command, it has formed a close al
liance, offensive and defensive, with
one of the great political parties of the
country. Is it any wonder, then,
that such au organization, with such
resources, aud such political alliances,
has become the ruling power in many
parts of the republic, and that it
boldly proclaims its power of supreme
political dominion? I do not pause
to describe the hideous character of
its rule in our cities and towns,where
it has full sway, for your own experi
ence and observation will speak more
eloquently on that point than any
words of mine. My purpose just
now is to show that while we read
with honest pride our grand and im
mortal Declaration of Independence,
we are to,-day the subjects of a tyrant
more exacting, cruel, intolerant and
hateful, than ever wielded a roval
scepter, or disgraced a kingly crown.
Slill at Large.
From Parker Pluanix.}
The dead beat and villain, A. C.
Hile, who gained such an unenviable
reputation during his short sojourns
in this section, and "who was com
pelled to leave Youngstown, Ohio,
for outraging a ten year old girl, has
again turued up, this time at Tidi
oute, under the name of Rowland.
The woman referred to in the follow
ipg clipping from the Tidioute New -e,
is Adaliue Kelly, a daughter of A. I).
Kelly, of this place. The' girl was
but seventeen years of age, aud met
tho vile and degraded villain while
living with friends in last
Summer and, \yui iuduced by him to
",ea»e a comfortable home. We un
derstand that immediate steps
will be taken toward a full and
complete investigation of the affair,
and if there is any of foul
play, the "•ay and festive machine
will find himself languished be
hind the bars, where, if he had had
his dues, he would have been long
since :
Some weeks since a man who gave
us his came as Rowland, accompan
ied by a woman he claimed as his
wife, came here to open a machine
shop and do machine repairing. He
boarded aronnd at various places, fin
jUy wringing up at Mrs. D. S. Free
man's. About two weeks ago his
wife was taken sick, and symptoms
showed and proved arsenical poison
ing, which she claimed to have taUen
by mistake for sodf*. Tie dose taken
was large onougti to act as an emetic
but she still remained ill. Last Sat
urday night she died suddenly. A
post mortem examination was held
Monday, showing the cause of death
to be paralysis of tjie lieart, the ef
fect of tba arsenic. After her death
ttowland said her relatives lived in
Parker, and since her burial, Monday
afternoou, we learn that a brother is
coming on to investigate the matter
—a thing that should be done by all
means. It is surmise that the arsen
ic was taken purposely 'm a lurgo
dose, but not with fetal iutention.

Caused by a Muskrat.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A aijskrat
dug a hole iu th? bank of the canal
a mile above Nashua, N. H.,
yesterday, and caused a disastrous
flood.
The torrent swept into the woods,
carrying trees and all the waste
around to the Nashua river behind.
Tl«e river rapidly rose, and was cov
ered by the yellow foam for a mile
below.
The mills immediately shut do\yc
aud thero is no telling vyuoQ ttiey

take weeks to repair. The flood has
thrown 3,000 employes out of work
! for an indefinite time.
Apple Treasand Apples.
[ A cor fspongeJt writes to the
Prairie Farmer: "I have had the
c re of an apple orchard for more than
forty ye ire, and never lost a single
apple tree in that lenrth of time from
blight. Several yea-s as ;o some of
my trees we'e badly afflicted with
said blight. The work of cutting out
the affected wood was too great for
me, itly I left the trees to
live cr die. In one or two years
from that time no injury . could be
seen. Since tLen 1 have paid no at
tention to it, and considered it of
minor import wee. The pear blight
■ is quite different, fjr when it kills the
new wood it does not stop there, like
the apple tree blight, but goes on to
the destruction of the tree. Some va
rieties of apples are worse affected
than others, even when they are all
raised through each other. I have
never known the blight to injure the
vitality of a tree, but it makes it look
badlv."
Tho feeding value of apples is not
lar.e; they rank with mangels, tur
nips, cabbage, and the like. Their
food properties are mostly carbo-hy-.
arates, or heat producing, their pro
tein being only about one:half of one
per cent., and the ; r nutritive ratio
about one to thirty, and hence are
mr>st effective when fed in connection
with more nitrogenous food, like
clover, but may be fed sparingly with
grass. They tave a higher value
than the weight of their food constit
uents indicates, on account of con
dimental qualities, aud from having a
large percent, of those constituents in
a condition to be at once absorbed
aud appropriated without waiting for
any special action of the stomach.
Nature's Funny Freaks.
Crabs, which are supposed to shad
their shells every year, do not ofien
shed them after they have attained
their full siz9, and the creatures be
come victims of barnacle 3 and all
sorts ol marine growths that fasten
themselves upon the shell. A re
markable example of this may be seen
in the British museum, where has
beeu placed an old crab of the edible
species, with some half a dozen oys
ters of a large size fixed to its back,
which load, ever increasing, the crab
was doomed to carry to the end of
its days. Another curious specimen
preserved is that of a hairy crab,
which not lararer itself than a walnut,
is saddled with a sponge a3 big as a
man's fist.
A Rapidly Growing Girl.
Conductor.—"Madam, did I under
stand you to say this giri is not
twelve years old?"
Mother.—"She will be next spring."
"And you want to go all the way
to New York in this car?"
"Yes-"
"Then you should not go on this
train."
"Why not?"
"Because this a slow train, and if
that girl keeps on growing as she has
beeu, by the time we getlo New
York she will be so large that she
will not be able to get through the
car door. The company can't afford
to take thecar to pieces on a half-fare
