very remarkable bird, indeed. He
pluoke?. the creature in its infancy
irom a plumb tree overhanging the
Perkiomeo, and for over a year he
has spent two or three pleasant hours

crow can swear in the following

the pole and balances itself there on
its beak as an acrobat would balance
himself on his head. Then it begins
to fan the air with its wings and to re
volve slowly. The beak bites deep
into the wood, the wings whir faster,
and soon the inverted crow is twirl
ing round and round with the rapidity
of a whirling Dervish. It keeps this
up until exhausted, when it falls off

"I really don't know wbat I shall
do about it," said Mrs. Peveril.
She was sitting on the arm of a sofa,
in her own room, confidentially dis
playing the treasures of her wardrobe
to Miss Sally Siphon, who had been
her bridesmaid, just two years before.
And the particular article which in
spired so much doabt in her mind lay
on a chair opposite—a soiled, whiie
silk dress, with the gores out of fash
ion, a wine-stain in the front breadth
and the long train bearing evidences
of considerable wear.
"No, I really don't," continued
Mrs. Peveril, surveying the garment,
with her head on oue side. "It's too
passe to wear, and yet it's too good to
give away."
"Why don't you sell it?" said Miss
Sally Siphon, briskly.
"Sell it?"
Mrs. Peveril opened her bluo eyes
in surprise.
"Yes,"nodded Miss Sally. "People
often do. I know a very respectable
woman who makes a regular business
of buying ladies' cast-oli'dresses; and
she gives you a good price for 'em,
and you know that's so much toward
a new oue. One must economize in
these hard times."
"Oh, that would be charming!" said
Mrs. Peveril. "But—but I'm afraid
Horace wouldn't like it."
"Don't say anything about it to
Horace," said Miss Siphon, in a 1
whisper
'l won't, *' said Mrs. Peveril.
"Shall I send Mrs. Isaacs to you
dear?"
"Do," said Mrs. Peveril.
Miss Sally Siphon took leave accord
ingly; and Mrs. Peveril took her silk '•
dress, and laid it carefully away in a ;
bureau drawer.
"It's very stylish-looking yet," said
Mrs. Peveril to herself, "and I j
shouldn't wonder if I got a decent j
price for it."
Mrs. Isaacs made her appearance
that afternoon.
"1 understand that you have some
thing in my way, lua'am," said she,
rourtseying and smiling. "Miss
Siphon mentioned—"
"l'es," said Mrs. Peveril, "a whito \
silk dress!"
"Dear me.ma'a'ii," said Mrs.lsaacs, '
"I could have wished it had been
black, or garnet, or plum color, or ]
Home o' them neutral tints. White is j
the unsalablest color as we have in j
stock. But I'll look at it, ma'am. I
never refuse anything in the way of
trade."
And Mrs. Isaacs seated herself,
smiling, until she seeme 1 all white
teeth and red lips, while Mrs. Peveril
brought out the depreciated silk dress.
"Oh, "said Mrs. Isaacs, with a glass
at her eye; "old-fashioued, soiled,and
a good deal worn!"
"Tho fashion is a little old," said
Mrs. Peveril, feeling the color mount
to her face. "It may be slightly
soileil, but I have only worn it about
a dozeu times."
"I know lots of ladies as only wears
their dresses once or twice, and then
gives 'em to their maids," said Mrs.
Isaacs. "Then we cau afl'ord to pay a
good price for 'em—"
"What will you give me for this?"
interrupted Mrs. Peveril, shortly.
"I couldn't say more than ten dol
lars, "replied Mrs. Isaacs, with another
display of the white teeth. "If it was
plum color, or myrtle green—"
"Ten dollars!" echoed Mrs. Peveiil.
"But it cost a hundred!"
"When it was new," said Mrs.
Isaacs. "But one can really get noth
ing for second-haud goods. I shall
lose on it at ten dollars, but I would
like to obtain your custom for the
future."
"Take it!" said Mrs. Peveril,
abruptly.
She was almost sorry that she had
sold the dress when Mrs. Isaacs had
courtesied herself out of the house,
<vith the bundle projecting itself be
neath the imitation shawl, and she
Xvas a little ashamed. But there was
a ten-dollar bill, and she could have
one of those exquisite bits of honiton
lace, like Mrs. Chesterfield St.
John's.
"And I'll coax another dress out of
Horace," said she to herself. "Good
ness me! wouldn't he be angry if he
knew I had Fold anything to one of
those second-hand dealers?"
"Dear!" said Mrs. Peveril to her
husband, that evening.
"Well, ducky?" responded the un
luspicious victim.
•*'l want a new white silk dress to
•wear to Mrs. Jennings's reception
next week."
Mr.Peveril put down the newspaper
and twisted himself around iu his
easy chair, to obtain a better view of
his wife's smiling face.
•'Another white silk dress!" said he.
"Why, you've got one already, haven't
you?"
"Oh, that's worn out loug ago!"
promptly responded Mrs. Peveril.
"Times are hard, Rosabel/'eaid Mr.
! Peveril. imuressivolv
Mrs. Peveril felt for her handker
chief.
"You wouldn't have your wife gc
into society looking like a dowdy,
would you?" said she.
"Can't you wear some of your othei
silk frocks? '
"I'v set my heart on a white gros
grain," said Mrs. Peveril, plaintively.
Mr. Peveril took up the newspapei
again, and his wife had the good sense
to pay no more.
"He'll get it for me," thought she
and she chuckled to herself in a secret
sort of way, as she thought of the ten
dollar bill she had made out of the
old dress.
Mr. Peveril stopped at a dry goodf
palace the next day, and priced white
gros-grain. It was four dollars t
yard.
"And how many yards does it take
to make a dress?" asked he.
The polite clerk really could not
say. It depended so much on the
height and proportion of the lady.
From tw'euty-five to thirty yards, was,
however—
"And the dressmakers' bill on top
of that," almost shouted Mr. Peveril.
"No, I won't take it today!"
And he strode away, muttering dire
anathemas on the extravagance of the
age.
How he came to select Blessington
street as the especial down-town route
for that particular day he never knew,
but select it he did. And in front oi
an establishment which was half con
cealed by a grove of dresses swinging
from above, as if half a dozen ladies
had committed suicide by wholesale,
he espied the following placard:
"Bargains in Ball-dresses. Inquire
Within."
"By Jove!" said Mr. Peveril, star
ing up at the fluttering flounces aud
the empty sleeves, which seemed to
beckon at every gust of wind, "I nevei
thought of that!"
The uext instant he felt himself
taken insinuatingly by the arm aud
hurried iuto the store, with a persua
sive voice in his ear, beggiug to show
in what way they could possibly serve
him.
"Got any white silk ball dresses?"
demanded Mr. Peveril. 112
How fortunate it was protested Miss
Naomi Isaacs (who was exactly like
her mother, only a size smaller), that
they had just received au invoice of
that very article from Paris!
"They must be gros-grain!" added
Mr. Peveril, remembering his instruc
tions.
"Gros-grain is the exact material!"
cried Miss Naomi, with clasped hands
aud uplifted eyes.
Aud she brought out a white silk
dress, trimmed with cheap Spanish
blonde, and smelling rather stroug ot
benzine.
"That's the article," said Mr.
Peveril, his face glowing with satisfac
tion. "Almost exactly like the last
one she had. What is the price of that
dress?"
Miss Naomi, after referring to the
books of the establishment, answered
that the dress was dirt cheap at
seventy-five dollars.
"Seventy-five dollars!" repeated
Mr. Peveril. "Isn't that rather steep,
now, for a second-hand dre-s?"
"But look at the material," smiled
Miss Naomi Isaacs. "Aud then, you
know, sir, the dress is all made and
trimmed so exquisitely. You have no
dressmaker's bill of thirty or forty
dollars to pay!"
"That's very true,"said Mr.Pevenl.
"Iu hard times oue must economize."
So he paid down the seventy-five
dollars, and walked out of the store
with the "bargain," neatly folded in
a monster paste-board box, under his
arm.
And all the day he smiled mysteri
ously to himself whenever he thought
of the agreeable surprise which he
had in store for Mrs. Peveril that
night.
"Well, darling," said he,as he came
iuto his wife's sitting-room—boudoir,
she called it.
"Well," she answered, with a re
spousive smile.
"I've got it!"
"Got what?"
"The white silk gown," flinging the
box toward her. "Just from Paris.
All made and trimmed, aud ready to
put on!"
"Oh, you darling!" cried Mrs.
Peveril, effusively, as she jumped up
and kissed her liege lord on each side
of his countenance, and then iu the
middle.
And then she cut the string with
her scissors, and opened the paste
board box, expecting to behold some
marvel of Worth's or exquisite crea
tion of Madam Elise's.
"Oh. my goodness gracious!" said
Mrs. Peveril, recoiling.
"What is it, my dear?" questioned
Mr. Peveril.
"Take it away!" said Mrs. Peveril.
"What for?" said Mr. Peveril.
"It's the same oue!" sobbed the
lady—"with the grease-spots ta'.ien
out by nasty benzine, aud a few yards ,
of cotton blonde basted across the I
front. Horace Peveril, where did you I
get it?"
"At Madam Isaacs' on Blessington
street, said Mr. Peveril, beginning to
realize that there was some terrible
mistake somewhere. "And I gave
seventy-five dollars for it."
"Seventy-five dollars!" shrieked
Mrs. Peveril. "And I sold it to her,
yesterday, for ten."
And then Mr. Peveril weut into
hysterics in cood earne-t.
Mr. Peveril went down to tho dry
goods emporium, the next day, anil
ordered twenty-four yards of the fo ir
dollar silk ; and Mrs. Peveril eco
nomises no more in the cast-off-dress
direction. Aud both of thom are par
ticularly snxious to avoid the subject.
"Because," says Mrs. Peveril, "I
was such a goose!"
"And 1 was the 1 iggest fool in New
York!" rays her husband.— Saturday

(FOR FARM AND GARDEN!
\rvwwTwvww-wwS
Amount of Water for Irrigation.
The season, climate and stage of
growth of the plants will regulate the
amount of water to be applied.
Twenty or thirty gallons per acre is
generally sufficient. After an orchard
or Held has been irrigated for a num
ber of years the amount required each
year will decrease.
An Kxcellent Fertilizer.
In a bushel of good hardwood ashes
there is about four pounds of potash,
fifteen pounds of lime, two and one
half pounds of magnesia, one pound
of phosphoric acid and three-quarters
»112 a pound of sulphuric acid. All of
this is either plaut food, or assists in
making available plant food in tlie
soil. Twenty bushels of such ashes
is none too much to use upon good
land for almost any crop.
Tarring: the Sheep's Nones.
After the sheep are shorn, their
noses should be rubbed with some
tar, to repel the fly which lays the
egg that hatches into a grub and en
ters the head. It is very little trouble
to tar all the sheep's noses in a Hock
if you only know how. Put a little
salt over the tar, and in their anxiety
to get at the salt the sheep will tar
their own noses effectually, and will
very likely rub their tarred noses on
the sides and shoulders of other sheep.
This is why it is best to shear the
sheep before tarring them. Speaking
about tarring sheep reminds us of the
English farmer who rode out to his
farm one summer day with a bowl of
tar and some salt,and taking his little
boy with him for a pleasant ride. The
old farmer thought it a good occasion
to impress some wholesome advice on
the juvenile mind. So he began in
the stereotyped way to declaim against
the danger from keeping bad com
pany, and at every sentence would
add the injunction, "Mark me, my
lad," sometimes varied with "Mark
me well." This continued until the
boy astonished the farmer with the
protest. "If I mark you much more,
there'll be no tar for the sheep."
Every time he had been told to "mark
me," he had obeyed literally by put
ting some of the tar on the back of
the farmer's coat.
The Chicken Mite.
This exceedingly troublesome and
often fatal pest is the cause of many
complaints from those raising chick
ens. The attacks of the pest are not
confined to poultry, as it is often
found in pigeon houses and in the
nests of other birds about farm build
ings. Where they are numerous,
they often find their way to animals
confined in the infested buildings.
The mites are nocturnal in their habits.
During the day time, they are gen
erally in hiding about the building,
but at night they abandon their hid
ing places and seek for food. Chickens
are often prevented from sleeping
at night, and not rarely forced to
abandon their eggs when settiug. In
stances have been recorded where
birds have been killed by this mite.
There is no way to receive perman
ent relief from the pest. The reme
dies must be applied often and thor
oughly, since the insect is able to live
a loug time without eating. Cleauli
ness must be observed. The hen
manure should be frequently removed
as it often swarms with the pest. If
the hen house is tight, fumigation by
sulphur is very effective. To prevent
any accident by tire, float the metal
vessel containing the burning sulphur
in a tub of water. After several
hours of fumigation, air the building
well before occupancy. I'uro kero
sene is also to be recommended. The
intorior of the building, including
perches, should be well sprayed with
it. After using kerosene, remember
to air the buUding before introducing
a light.—P. J. Parrott of the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
Autumn Management of llcen.
Successful wintering of bees largely
depends on autumu management. If
bees received the attention they should
have during the autumu months, win
tering would be almost an absolute
certainty, but from the fact that they
do not.aud are neglected,heavy losses
result. It may be said that it matters
not as to the condition in which bees
go into winter quarters, a very severe
winter will go hard with them,but my
experience is, if bees aro in proper
shape in late autumn, but a small per
cent, of loss will occur in winter.
No one can expect to winter old
bees successfully, aud in a great many
instances, it might be said, iu most
cases, old bees are the cause of the
worst trouble. If bees do not have a
late flow of honey during the autumn
months, say September and October,
they invariably go into the wiuter
with a large majority of old bees.
When bees have a good flow of honey
at this period, or enough to keep them
breeding well, they will raise a supply
of young bees that will withstand the
winter and also early spring. This
condition of things can be brought
about by feeding during this period,
and in every case of the lack of a full
flow of honey, feeding is the proper
course to pursue. It would seem that
if a colonv of bees had enough storss
to carry them through the wiuter,
that feeding would be foolish, but
that is the only method by which we
can insure brood rearing aud young
bees togo through as they should.
The proper time to begiu feeding is
early in autumu in localities where
wiuter begins as early as the first of
November, say from the first to the
middle of September. But in most
localities in this country, October
feeding will bring the desired result.
Feeding for brood rearing only re
quires a small amount of feed com-
pared to feedlug for wiuter At ores, but
the work must be regularly "one, and
kept up the proper length of time.
Feeding for brood rearing, or as it i£
termed "stimulating feeding," must
be done in such a manner as to resem
ble a natural honey flow. Feeding
bees will always bring as good results
if properly done, as any natural flow
of honey will. Feeding bees should
always be done as late iu the evening
as possible, so that any danger of
robbing may be prevented.
Hay From lodged Clover.
On very rich laud clover often grows
so large that its own weight brings it
to the ground, and if this breaking
down occurs while the air is still, the
clover is usually twisted so badly that
except with a mower and on smooth
surface it is almost impossible to cut
it. A good deal depends on the way
the clover is cut, not merely for the
present hay crop, but for the after
growth. If cut close to the ground
there will be a large amount of coarse
stalks that are difficult to cure,though
they may be when cured as sweet and
nutritious as any of the hay. If not
cut close, as must be the case when
the mower ruus the way that most of
the clover leans, a long, coarse stub
ble is left from which the clovet
growth is very small, much as it
would be if a mass of young buds were
left to grow on a newly transplanted
tree, instead of reducing the top to
merely one bud, and allowing that to
make all the growth it will.
Most farmers, for the good of the
clover, try to cut as low as possible.
Indeed, we have known some when
the mower had left long stubble, fol
low it with a scythe aud cut down
what the mower knives passed over.
Where the clover has been beaten
down by rains most of it will fall one
way. It is then possible by what is
called "carrying the swath" to cut the
whole against the falleu clover, aud
by letting the knives down close to
the grouud get the whole and make a
closer cut than could be doue by the
most skilful mower with the scythe.
In cutting clover no sod is left. The
clover plants do not send out many
small leaves at the base of their stems
as all the grasses do. Consequently
a clover stubble is harsh to bare feet,
and as it exudes a gum it makes the
shoes slippery in walking over it in
them, as this gum quickly dries when
it is exposed to the air, and it makes
a smooth coating over the leather.
It is the gum which the thick clover
stalks contain that makes clover hay
ferment so quickly when piled in
masses. Yet so long as it is not di
luted with rains or dews this heating
will usually dry out the clover with
out injury, so that it cau be putin the
barn without fear that it will there
rot down into manure. After one
heating in a small heap this clover has
its moistnre drawn out of it, and is
really much less likely to heat injuri
ously than it was before.—American
Cultivator.
Fattening Cattle.
Well bred cattle will pay for feeding
to a finish, but it is better to turn off
common rattle just as soon as they aro
in a passable condition for tha mar
ket. As the fattening process ad
vances cattle will usually eat less
ravenously, unless they have a change
of feed. If fed ou ear corn they will
tire of it, but if it is shelled their de
clining appetite will return; and it
will be found that if an occasional
change is made from ear corn to
shelled corn, theu to oats, from corn
fodder to clover hay, and so on back
and forth, the cattle will do better
and the beef will be made at less cost.
Corn meal can be very profitably used
to make one of these changes, es
pecially if mixed with bran, provided
it is mixed with something like cut
clover or other roughage. It is waste
ful to feed corn meal by itself.
There are a number of things that
might be fed to break the monotouy
of a steady corn diet. Roots of all
kinds could be thus utilized. We have
sometimes fed good straw in place of
hay just for a chauge, and the cattle
liked it and were improved by it.
Either man or beast will tire of eating
one thing all the time, and tiring
means a loss of appetite and a lesser
consumption. Much has been written
about warming water for cows, but
never a word—that we ever saw—
upon the temperature of water for fat
tening cattle. Ice water never should
go into any system, the prevalent
American habit of driukiug copious
draughts of ice water to the contrary,
notwithstanding. The steer will not
drink it uuless driven to it by exces
sive thirst, aud when he does it is ex
pensive for the feeder. It reduces the
temperature, which must be raised
again by feed. Besides it interferes
with digestion, aud all the time
that the system aud digestion are
getting iuto normal condition again,
time is being wasted. The fattening
steer ought never to be compelled to
drink water at a lower temperature
than it comes out if the well. Plenty
of water should be provided. It is
best, when possible, and the weather
is not too cold, to let the herd have
free access to water. If that is not
practical, water twice a day. The
system requires abundance of water.
Provide good shelter at all seasons,
warm shelter iu wiuter, aud shelter
from storms iu warmer weather.
Rock salt should always be accessible.
Feed regularly. Keep watch of every
animal, that you may kuow its con
dition, whether or not it is eating as
it should, whether or not it is scour
ing, whether or not, in a word, it is
getting along as it should. Scouring
should be checked at once, aud in
order to do that the cause must be
removed. Among the causes are too
much salt—whon loose salt is fed—
not enough coarse feed, uusound grain
audi jouldy hay or fodder. Remove
the cause, and substitute oats for
corn aud timothy for clover for a day
or two.—The Epitomist.

are cetaceans and prey on whales. I

such wonderful creatures are they.

have some horrible sanguniary legends
•bout the things that orcas do, just as
the legends of India and Java deal
with the horrors of crocodiles. The
orcas are about twenty feet long in
the Antarctic seas and are seldom
over twelve feet long in the North
Paciflo and Atlantic. They have a
terrible armament of sharp teeth.
It is interesting to compare them with
animals of a similar character. There
are eight species of orca the world
over, and each species has a reputation
for ferocity. The best known are the
gladiator orca—orca gladiator of the
Atlantic —and orca rectipenna AND
crca ater of the Pacific. Orca recti
penna is a remarkable animal, readily
recognized by its dorsal fin, that is
often as tall as the tallest man, slender
and bending ovar at the tip gracefully.
When swimming below the surface
six feet of this fin is seen gliding
along, often resembling a shark on
the surface."—New York Sun.
Manufacturing Salt in Kansas.
"A new industry in Kansas," says
a correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord, "is the manufacture of salt. A
large depoeit has been discovered on
the line of the Santa Fe Railroad near
the town of Hutchinson, in the cen
tral part of the State, which the local
geologists claim to be the largest in
the world. More than 83,000,000 has
already been invested in plants to
purify it, and the output last year
reached nearly two million bairels,
The members of the Mulvane family,
of Topeka, who are heavy landowners,
bankers and proprietors of the To
peka Capital, are the largest salt op
erators in the State; but George
Gould and his brothers, of New York,
are also heavily interested. Frank
Gould, the youngest son of the late
Jay Gould, who has only recently
reached his majority, is having his
first business experience in the man
agement of the company."

Because of an inquisitive turn of
mind, Sub-Policeman John Atkinson,
of the Twenty-second District, had
his new summer uniform thoroughly
drenched. Atkinson was stationed
near the Undine boathouse, along the
Schuylkill River. Prior to the arrival
of the parade, he became very much
interested in the boats and fixtures in
the clubhouse. Finally he came to a
sign posted on tbe wall which read:
"Pull the Rope and See the Monkey
Jump." Atkinson gave the rope a
jerk and then proceeded to do the
jumpiug. He had pulled the rope at
tached to the shower-bath.—Phila
