Woman's Homo Companion. | A BY EAYMOXD WESTHILL. Q He was a newsboy, and one of two creditors who formed an ac quaintanceship at a debtor's door — the other creditor was the landlord. Tim had been pounding on the door some minutes when the landlord came. "Is there no one in?" inquired that person as he discovered Tim there. "Now. She's never in when I want me money,"' said Tim. "She tooked der papers alright." "And she never paid you anything?" "Sure, she did wonst, but I nevei kin got no money outer her now. Shc mus' spen' it all fer beer now; she's alwiz got der price of a pint." "How much does she owe you?" "On'y a dollar forty-sevin. She used ter owe me two dollars an' forty sevln cents. Dat was when she lived in Gardiner street, two flights up. I reckoned it up, an' I went up four hun'red an' fifty-four flights er stairs ter sell dem papers, an' laid out one doller an' thirteen an' 6r half cents, ter git dem —an' den didn't git paid all." "I would come here every week until she gave me the rest, if I were you.' "Yer wouldn't git it den, fer I went ter her house in Gardner street twen'y three times in two months an' all I got was 50 cents." "Some people haven't any hearts," remarked the landlord as Tim paused. "Dat wus sixty six flights er stairs more. Den she moved ter Cook av enyer, but I wusn't goner give it up an' I found out where she moved. She lived dare sevin months an' I never pot nothin' from her. It wus two flights dare, and went up sixty-nine times an' dat makes a hun'red an' thirdy-eight more flights er stairs. Den she moved ter Wilton street an' der firs' t'fee months I didn't get nothin'. I tried nineteen times an' it wus t'ree flights dare —dat makes fifty sevin flights more. Nex' time I went she said she'd gim ma ten cents er week till it wus all paid. She on'y gim me thirdy cents in two months. I'm tired countin' der stairs—l don't know how much dat made. Now she's here an' I've bin comin' her fer four months. "An'," he continued, getting quite In a rage; "some of her excusis wus fierce. She tol' me firs' dat der firm didn't pay her husban' yet for two months, an' dat she wus ter law about it. Den dat gag wore out, an' when Mr. Braid'd come ter der door an' see me he'd say 'Mrs. Braid jist wont out, boy; she's got all der money wid her; come 'round termorrer,' and when Mrs. Braid'd come ter der door she'd say 'Why Mr. Braid jist went out. Didn't yer meet him? I haven't a penny In der house. Sorrv; yer'll have ter come in termorrer.' " "Such mean proceedings," inter osed the landlord with disgust. "Oh, dat ain't all. One day I got <iem mixed up. Mr. Braid said dat Mrs. Brnid was sleenin' an' bercause she had neuralger he didn't want ter wake her up. I went der nex' day an' she says 'Why didn't yer call er little earlier yesterd'y. I jist went out when yer came.' Nothin' but 'er big lie." "Did you tell her you caught her?" "Naw —wouldn't be no use." During the last of the conversation the landlord had taken a tub that had stood against the front door of Mrs. Braid's apartment and placed it against the rear door. "She'll know who put that there," he said assuredly. "She'll be down to my office tonight without fall to pay the rent. She doesn't fool with me." The next time Tim found Mrs. Braid in, and she promised to pay 'every cent on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, four weeks from now." That afternoon Mrs. Braid was pre paring to make a "call," and thereby evade the newsboy, when the landlord came. She had appeared at his office thrice with excuses, but no money. He must have his money. She found sub terfuge in:"I have only a ten dollar bill." He insisted upon getting change, while she argued that' she had an im portant engagement and could not tarry a moment. He threatened to put her and her possessions on the sidewalk if she did not settle. She finally handed him the ten dollar bill, though not before she had gotten rid of the detaining dilemma. That was disposed of by her careless nature when she said: "Put the change under the mat. It'll be a dollar and a half—eight fifty for the rent." "It will not be safe there." "Oh yes it will. I've placed things there loads of times." About twenty minutes after Mrs. Braid had sauntered out of the house Tim, fifteen minutes late, was rap ping at her door; but, of course, it remained closed. He made up his mind to fool her "jist onst" in his life, so he placed the tub where the land lord had put it. "Now," he said to himself with a giggle, 'she'll go down ter his office fer nothin'! Dat'll be a wild goose chase fer her." But somehow the tub would roll away from the door, and he felt for the supposed disturbing piece of coal. It was not on top of the mat, so ht felt under. His hand struck sorue pa per and he picked it up and took i to tho light. To his astonishment thi paper contained a dollar and a half and writen across it was the wort "change." "Alright," said Tim out loud, "I'l give her der change, an' I'm might; glad yer honist at las'." He placed three cents change in the paper anc put it under the mat. He joyously rushed out of the houss and off to a fruit store, where he puv chased a large bag of fruit —"Now, 1 he said, as he came out, "Mom'll hav< fruit like everybody else." In front of the landlord's office ; crowd had gathered, for within an un conscious little form was stretchcc on a desk. It was none other thai Tim's. While caring for his fruit hi had slipped, and l'ell, striking his heac cn thi? sidewalk. When he did opcr his eyes the first thing he said was "lt's me own fault. I got it ber cause I wus goin' ter give her £ wild goose chase. Dat's why I got it.' "What woman, Tim?" quickly in tcrrogated the landlord. "Mrs. Braid. She left der monci whot she owed me under der mat, an I bought der fruits wid it." The landlord said nothing; but t few minutes later, when the lad ap peared to have recovered enough t( go home, the landlord started for Mrs Braid's apartment. Half an hour afterward Mrs. Brait took from under her mat a dollar anc a half, and remarked: "I knew it woud be safe." —The Cri terion. AN EASTERN NATIONAL PARK. A I'rojoct for Omo in New England, Kinbraco raits of 'lliree State*. There is talk of a national park ir New England, including part of Maine as a forest reservation. The entire area of forest reservations and parks approximates fifty million acres. Tut parks diifer from the forest reserves in that no lumbering can be carried on within them, and their game ani mals are protected. The mining laws do not apply within their territory, except in Mount Kanier Park, anc' they are in care of government troops The forest reservations, on the othei hand, are administered by the secre tary of the interior, through the gen eral land office. Maine and New- Hampshire already have state and forestry commissions, and it might be practicable to secure their coopera tion in the control and direction ol such a reservation as is suggested While several states have acquired fores:t reservations or have taken meas ures to protect such areas, the Fed eral government possesses the facili ties for controlling such reservations in a broad way, unaffected by 10-jai 01 private interests, upon plans that wil! permit the use of private forests thai remain, directing with intelligenct such cutting as is proper, and promot ing new growth on the denuded areas The subject is exceedingly important in its relation to the prosperity of the farmer, who is largely dependent on climate and rainfall; to the greal manufacturing interests, more or less dependent on the water power furn nished by our rivers; to the rapidly growing cities and towns whose watei supply is drawn from our northern lakes, and to the health and pleasure of thousands who annually visit the mountains and uplands of northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The White Mountain region of New Hampshire covers an area of mort :han 1200 square miles, between the lake country of New Hampshire on the south and the valleys of the Ammo noosuc and Androscoggin on the north Connected witn it easterly are the great forest areas of Maine, extending to the Canadian frontier, and on the west are the contiguous mountain dis tricts of Vermont. This whole section, including parts of the three states named, is of the highest scenic interest, comprising mountain, lake and river. Dominated by Mount Washington and the Presi dential range, flanked by the Fran conia and Sandwich ranges, it includes also groups of lesser peaks covered by forests, inclosing mountain-walled lakes of surpassing beauty, feeding the Connecticut and Merrimao rivers, the Saco, the Androscoggin, the Kennebec, the Penobscot, and many tributary streams, the source of the water power of hundreds of manufacturing villages and cities, to which the growth and prosperity of New England are so largely due. It is a region of great historic inter est, closely associated with the past and present life of New England, in terwoven with its romance, poetry, art and tradition. The territory is easily accessible from every point, and avail able to a large percentage of our urban population. The eastern sec tion is well stocked with fish anj game, and other parts might under proper conditions be restocked. Each year, however, marks the cutting tor commercial purposes of many acres ol its forest growth, and the encroach ment upon its borders of the expand ing life of the towns is constantly more obvious. —Lewiston Evening Journal. Incr«»R*« from Onn Potato. An interesting agricultural item it. reprinted in the London Times: "A Mr. Vacher of Hcckford Farm, near Poole, last year planted one potato, which produced him 325 in number, and there would have been still more, had not a boy lost one of the eyes after the potato was cut in pieces. The farmer having saved the whole of them, had them planted, which ha has now dug up, and finds that they have multiplied to the number of 92:,T ■jnd weigh 13 cwt., 3 qrs., which cer tainly is a very great increase from one single root in two years." l''gffs by tlie round. There has been much talk about sell ing eggs by the pound. In and around some of our larger cities there arc n-.any sold in that way, but they are not sold in the shell. Cracked eggs and the larger ones among the dirty eggs, if fresh, are broken out, and the white and yolk well beaten together. Some packers use a churn to thor oughly mix them, which is important, as if they are put up just as they come from the shell, the yolk becomes dry and mealy. They are then frozen solid and Kept in cold storage until wanted. They are packed in tins of from ten to forty pounds each, and of course the demand for them comes principally from the bakers for cakes and similar purposes. It is said that a pound of the frozen egg is equal to ton eggs of the average size. They will not keep sweet long after they have been thawed out, so that it is important that the user knows how many pounds he needs at one time, and opens no more than that. Packers who arc careful to avoid nutting in any tainted or spotted eggs get about twelve to thirteen cents a pound, while other grades not as carefully selected have to be sold at ten cents. Value of Drainngc. More than one farmer who has put tile or other underground drains in his fields, or a part of them, learned this year the value of drainage in a drought as well as in a wet season. It gives the circulation of air through the sou that keeps it light and friable, so that the roots penetrate through the soil to find the moisture they need. The soil does not pack after a rain, partly owing to the coming up of air from the tiles through the very channels that the water followed when it passed down to them. Some noticed that the rows, particularly of corn, which were almost directly over ine line of the drain, kept green longer and produced a better crop than those which were between the drains, and the poorest rows or parts of the field were those farthest from the drain. Some say the yield was doubled in the close vicinity of the drains, in which case we should think the drains were too far apart for a very dry or a very wet season. But this is not all the value of drainage. Land that is properly drained can be worked much earlier in the spring, and is much less affected by the frosts in spring or fall because it is dryer. Wheat and clover are not so often lifted, ».id the roots broken during the freezing and thaw ing of the winter, and is thus less liable to winter kill. Corn and Fodder for Winter Fee^Unjj. This year we used a corn harvester. Much oi the corn was down badly. It did the work entirely satisfactorily. Its greatest advantage, however, was found in filling the silos. Fewer hands by five did the work in less time than we had ever before been able to accomplish it. The corn being bound in bundles was much easier loaded and unloaded. We should now no more think of filling tho silos without the help of the binder than of cutting wheat with a cradle. Another short cut with the corn crop we learned last year was to run the shock corn through an ordinary wheat separator. Thus the corn was shelled and the fodder rhredded all at one handling. Next to putting the crop into the silo, with us this is tho most economical and satisfactory method of caring for it. We had not the least trouble in saving either corn or fodder last year, but they were very dry when threshed. This year we pro pose doing the work earlier and mixing oats with the grain and straw with the fodder. With this precaution we shall put 300 bushels in a bin. We run the fodder into the barn. The machine expense was only four cents a bushel. Those who have tried it say the corn does not keep well into tho following summer. We shall husk enough for next summer feeding.— Dr. H. P. Miller, in New England Homestead. Overcoat* for the Meet. "Overcoats" for each hive of bees cost about a trifle. These are called winter cases by the manufacturers, and may be bought for a small sum. They are cut out ready to put to gether, and when thus shipped in the fiat the freight is very low. We can still get something cheaper if we care to work out the cheapest plan, and <;an buy boxes of about the right size at our neighboring stores that dry goods and groceries have been shipped in. It matters not only for looks, whether they are all one size or not. But they must be large enough to cover the hive and come down on the ground or sunk a little in the ground. There are always many good tight boxes, that are made of matched lumber, that are absolutely tight, and we want no cracks for the snow and wind to blow through. The hives should be set down elo'3o to the ground preparatory to receiving these boxes, and of course all the upper stories and supers must be removed, so that a box say fourteen or fifteen inches deep will answer. After making these boxes absolutely tight except one side, turn it down over the hive bottom up, fitting it closely to the ground, and cutting an entrance just opposite the entrance In the hive. Thin entrance must be fixed nicely and conveniently for the bees to ccme out and pass in at their pleasure, and need not be very large: an inch or inch and a half hole will answer. Fix an alighting beard in front a foot wide, as a board Is bettei than the earth banked up, for it will warm up and dry off better than the ground. With this arrangement we do not use any chart cushions, or chaff pack ing anywhere, but close the hive up tightly with the ordinary lid that be longs to it. Chaff cushions and chaff packing go with the regular chaff hive, and perhaps the chaff hive sys tem is the most complete method of wintering bees out doors, but it is not practiced to such extent as formerly, owing to the expense of such hives.— A. H. Duff, in Farm, Field and Fire side. Treatment for Smb. True scab is a familiar disease to sheep raisers in every part of the world. The most prominent symp tom is an itchiness of the skin com pelling the sheep to rub, scratch or bite itself whenever possible. It will scratch and kick itself with its hind feet, thus destroying the wool wher ever the feet can reach. It will also bite itself, and will become extremely restless, more particularly at night, preventing the animal from resting and make it nervous and irritable. The treatment of scab is a very simple matter, if taken in the start before there is much irritation of the skin. The parasite does not penetrate the skin, like those producing mange in the horse and dog. The parasites producing scab in sheep live on the surface, like lice, so most any of the i ordinary dips applied to them will ! come in contact with the parasites and kill them, but may not kill the eggs, which will hatch out in from 1 ten days to two weeks, when the ap- 1 plication must be repeated. If the dis ease has been allowed to become | chronic, then there will be scabs j formed so that enough parasites will i get under and not come In contact ! with the medicine, and they will still live to perpetuate their kind. In order to treat scab successfully j the wool should all be clipped off, so as to expose the skin as much as possible to the air. Like mange in the horse, | tho diseased animal should be separ- j atcd from the well and should be well i fed, to nuild up the physical strength j as quickly as possible, as it is a well- j known fact that parasitic life lives I at the expense of physical life. Build | up the physical strength, and the bods ' offers greater resistance to parasitic ! life. After the animals have been dipped J they should not be turned into pas- I tures where they were while suffering j from the disease. The parasite is not long lived, consequently animals kepc out of an infected pasture for a couple of months can then be safely turned in again.—Dr. William McLean, State Veterinarian of Oregon, before the I Northwest Wool Growers' Association, j Potatoes for Profit. The difficulty of raising good pota- : toes is due as much to the soil, seed . and climate as to any method of cul- j ture, and it is often useless for farmers I in one section of the country to at tempt to compete wim those in more favorable places to raise fancy pota toes. Yet I believe it is only the fancy Ftnnl; tt-it pays. Ordinary potatoes do not pr.y any more than ordinary yields of a crop prove profitable. We must i be able 10 raise large, lancy potatoes and extra large crops, to make this business pay. Then, indeed, we have a specialty that one can depend on to prove very profitao.e. As I said at the beginning, potatoes are largely a matter of location, cli mate anu soil. If these are not natur ally supplied, I consider it profitless work to attempt to raise these prod ucts for commercial purposes. It is far better to devote the time and attention to other farm crops. But supposing these to be supplied. It is then only necessary to study the most approved methods of potato culture to find success. The first essential is to see what the market demands. So called fancy potatoes are always of a fair uniform size. The abnormally large potato is neither profitable to raise, nor in great demand. It takes too long to cook it, and housekeepers do not want it. A moderate size and uniform throughout is the most desira ble crop that we can desire. Plants that yield heavily of such potatoes are the best for commercial uses. Next to size the color and condition of the skin should be considered. The delicately pink-tinted potato is the one that attracts attention, and invaria bly receives the prize. To obain this the eeed must first be selected with that in view. If one can give the potatoes the right soil and fertilizer this tendency to a thin, pink-tinted skin will became emphasized. Un doubtedly both the appearance and quality of the potatoes are greatly influenced by the soil and fertilizers. Some soils produce fine commercial potatoes without much effort on the part of the farmer. The potatoes require particularly an evenly balanced fertilizer of nitro gen, sulphate of potash and phos phoric acid. This should be supplied in the proportion of about four per cent, of the first, eighteen per cent, of the second and six per cent, of the third. This fertilizer is strong enough however, at first to burn the young sprouts of tho seed, and consequently it must be putin the trench or hill long enough before planting to permit it to become dissolved and chemically mixed with the EOIL In any case the fertilizer should be mixed with the soil so that it will not come in direct contact, with the potatoes. A light soil with plenty of the right fertilizer will keep the potatoes from growing muddy and soggy in appearance, and tinge it with the bright pink color that is so much desired by housewives and marketmen. —W.

Among the established and familiar sight of the streets of London is tho red-jacketed shoe black with his box and brushes. Now, in its jubilee year, the Central Red Society numbers be tween forty and fifty members, with a permanent home in Great Saffron hill, under the supervision of Mr. Bird and regulated by a committee of great in- 1 fluence. Here most of the boys sleep,' receive their education in classes un der the dominance of the education department, and spend their evenings pleasantly and healthily. On admis sion they are provided with uniforms and imprements free, but any renewal of either has to be borne to tho ex tent of one-half the cost by the boys themselves. Roughly, they goon duty at 7:30 a. m.and return at U p. m. The metropolis Is divided into stations. One of the classes consists of regular stations, at which the shoeblacks are stationed. The other stations are oc cupied by the boys in turn, three days r.t each being the maximum stay. Nat urally there is great emulation in or der to reach the regular posts, which are generally the most profitable, espe cially in perquisites. It i3 an open secret that Charing Cross railway sta tion is the best post In the whole me tropolis, but Ludgate station is a close rival, and there, we are officially in formed, is posted the very best shoe black in London —a genius in his way, who, be the weather wet or dry, turns out a boot of gloosy brightness with great adroitness.

The Living Age remarks that some of the fundamental principles of the useful art of skipping are suggested by Mr. Anthony Deane, in the following passage in the London Pilot: When I meet a paragraph which begins, "It is now necessary to retrace our steps somewhat to explain;" or, "The crim son sun by this time neared the hori zon. Far over the hill 3 stretched a vault of heavy cloud, its strange, pur ple tints fading and dissolving into" —or, "But the contents of this room, his sanctum sanctorum, deserve mora detailed description;" or, "O strange, unfathomable mystery of existence, compelling our purblind race" —when, I say, 1 meet a passage in a novel which begins thus, I skip like anyi thing.
