Death Of a Veritable ShylOck.

Mitchell Hart, the millionaire pawn
broker OF Chatham street, was buried
yesterday in the Jewish burial ground,
by the side of his father and mother.
The funeral was strictly private. There
were but few who accompanied the
hearse to the cemetery, and those few
were relatives.
Mitchell Hart, although ne was
worth S3,000,000, lived alone and
died alone. His brother Henry was the
only one whom he associated with in
life and the only one who stayed with
him in sickness and death. They we're
inseparable. Mitchell Hart had money
enough TO buy some grand mansion on
the Fifth avenue, and To spend his
summers in some beautiful country seat
on the Hudson, but he preferred to live
with his brother in the queer old house
in Chatham street. No. 81 Chatham

is a dingy old building that looks as
though 1T might tumble any moment
and crumble to dust. There the
brothers were born, and there they
spent their lives in amassing vast for
tune.
This was Mitchell Harris sole ambi.
ton in life. He loved money, wealth,
and the power that it confers. He
wanted to become the Rothschild of
America. He was happy as long as he
felt that he was making money, that he
was growing richer; and ne loved the
old dingy house where he had enjoyed
the first fruits of his industry and of
his untiring perseverance. His father,
a Polish jew, carried on the business of
pawnbroker before him. He left the
two sons a respectable inheritance.
Mitchell and Henry increased it a
hundredfold. They sacrificed every
thing-pleasure, comfort, sleep even
to that one absorbing business of making
money. Mitchell, in particular, lived
the life of hermit. In all his life he was
never inside a theater, did not attend a
party or ball, and never had holi.
day. He died without having seen
Brooklyn-although he was born in
this city-or Hoboken or Staten Island.
lie never saw an engine, and could not
think of going out of the city for a
single day. His house in Chatham
street was his world, and his brother
was company enough for him. They
ate and drank and slept together as
long as Mitchell lived. Where Mitchell
was there was Henry, and if Henry was
at place Mitchell was sure to be there
also. Some of the neighbors were
wont to call them the Slamese twins.
Ladies' society he never courted, and
he died bachelor. He used to say,
laughingly: Henry is my wife, Sis
ter, and daughter, all at the same
time"
In his will Mitchell left every cent of
his money to his brother Henry. 1t is
impossible to give an accurate estimate
of Mitchell's wealth, but the joint
estate of the brothers has been esti-
mated at S6,000,000.-Ne0 York Sun,

Why do Boys Leave the Farm!

Effects proceed from causes there.
fore, when we see our rural population
flowing into our cities like a vast wave
of expectant humanity, we are led to a
consideration of the causes which are
producing such undesirable results.
1t would seem that a general impress
sion must exist among farmers that
their business is an improbable one,
hence their sons are continually look
ing for positions known as professional
ones. Farming, when conducted in a
businesslike manner, pays fair profit
on the investment. But this does not
seem to satisfy aspiring Young Amer
lea nor quench the general desire for
notoriety.
There are several ways of accounting
for this general restlessness. The first
and principal cause is, the impression,
which seems TO be general in its charac-
ter, that muscle, and not brain, finds its
most appropriate sphere in developing
the resources of the farm. Nothing
could be farther from the truth, yet the
result is obvious. This tendency in our
young men to leave the farm might be
modified TO some extent by making
farm life more attractive. To do this
books and agricultural papers should be
found in every household; some system
other than that of amending drudgery
from daylight to dark should be adopt
ed-this would be appreciated by the
boys. Even an occasional day could be
set apart for recreation, or for the pur
pose of attending farmers club meet
ing. which would combine instruction
with it. How much brighter the eye
and more elastic the step of farmers
boys would be if the present system of
unrequited drudgery could be abolished.
The boys should be consulted in refer
ence to the work and the various opera
tons on the farm. In nine cases out of
ten, if the boys were consulted, they
would willingly and affectionately yield
to the wiser and maturer judgment Of
the father. The boys should have a
chance. Let them order good agri-
cultural paper in their own name. If
the proceeds Of single acre of land
were set apart for the purchase of books
and papers, it would be duly appreciated
by them, and would lead to general inn
provement in every department of farm
life. With every facility for rendering
our homes attractive and pleasant, and
with improved machinery TO tighten
and make farm labor profitable, there
can be in fact no plausible reason for
leaving the farm to engage in the more
enervating and precarious commercial
pursuits of our already over.crowded
cities.-Rmal World.

THE EMERALDS.

One wintry afternoon in January,
away up in the bleak attic of wretch

"l'll get 'em all, mother" he said,

The little girl nodded her curly head,
and her great, wistful eyes sparkled
with delight.
"And you shall have half it, Ross"

A Timely Hint.

More attention must be given by
farmers to this matter Of the quality OF
COWS. They do not hesitate to test the
quality of moving machine or pillow,
but rarely investigate the machine which
is to grind up their hay and grain to be
converted into milk, butter or beef.
The milk of some cows is totally unfit
for butter making. 1t not only refuses
to be made into butter itself, but pre-.
vents other milk from raising cream.
Such COWS should be devoted to the
cheese factory. All this inconvenience
and loss may be prevented by testing
the milk in glass tube, which will
cost somewhere from fifteen to twenty.
FIVE cents.

A Useful Article.

Ammonia, or as il is generally called,
spirits of hartsAorn is powerful alkali,
and dissolves grease and dirt with great
ease. 1t has lately been recommended
very highly for domestic purposes. For
washing paint, put tablespoonful in a
quart of moderately hot water, dip in a
flannel cloth, and then wipe off the
wood work; no scrubbing will be neces.
sary For taking grease spots from any
fabric, use ammonia, nearly pure, then
lay white blotting paper over the spot,
and iron it lightly. In washing lace
put about twelve drops in pint of
warm suds. To clean silver, mix two
teaspoonfuls of ammonia in a quart of
hot suds. Put in your silverware and
wash, using an old nail. brush or tooth
brush for the purpose. For cleaning
hair-brushes, ETC., simply shake the
brushes up and down in a mixture of
one tablespoonful of ammonia to one
pint of hot water, and stand them in
the wind or in a hot place 10 dry. For
washing fnger.marks from looking.
