THE New York Tribune of the 10Th, treat
ing of the suspension OF Jay Cooke s. Co.,
says: ''By some It was thought the trouble
was the designed result of New York CON-
bination; by others that it was the result of
carrying too much in Northern Pacific Rail-
road securities. The latter is, upon the au-
thority of Jay Cooke, the correct surmise,
that gentleman having so explained tonight
The crisis of to-day was unexpected by the
firm in this city. They have been lately tam
pered now and then by the stringency of the
money market, but at recent consultation
of the firm the members arrived at the conf
dent belief that the storm which threatened
had passed. They had advanced large sums
to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
for the completion of its road, taking bonds
AS securities, and expecting to realize from
the sales of these bonds. For some
weeks there has been constant flow of mo-
ney from the East. The country banks and
individual depositors kept up a continual
drain on their deposits in the hands of the
firm, who found that sales of Northern Pa
ci6c bonds were neither. large nor rapid
enough to reimburse them, and hence the

Mrs. MOrlaty rs a SymPathiZer.

The Danbury Neacs man remarks that "the
day Mr.. Ruby, across the way, was to be
buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her daughter Clar-
linda that she guessed she would attend, as
she wasn't feeling very we'll, and ride would
do her good. She knew there would be sew
eral covered carriages furnished at the ex-
pense OF the family, and she was equally
confident it could be so managed that she
would occupy portion of one of them.
She was among the first at the house, and oc-
cupied prominent position. AS the other
friends arrived, she took occasion to recall
"reminiscences of the late Ruby that brought
were over, as the first coach drove up for its
load, the distress of Mrs. Moriaty at the
death of Mr.. Ruby was so marked as to ex-
cite the liveliest sympathy. Then the second
coach came up. Mrs. MOriaty had got down
to the gate by this time, and as the door of
the second coach was opened and call made
for the occupants, it seemed extremely doubt
full if she could hold up another instant She
leaned against the post, and stared into the
coach and over its rich upholstering, and said
the late Ruby seemed more like son to her
than a neighbor Whereupon the usher
looked appropriately sad, and called up the
third and last coach. This had yellow cush-
ions and pink straps. and Mrs. Moriaty didn't
hesitate to protest that in the death of Mr..
Ruby the community had met a loss it was
not possible to recover from, and that she
would follow him to his last resting place, if
she had to do it on her knees, and would feel
grateful for the opportunity. Then the third |
and last coach filled and drove off to take it's
place in the line, and Mrs. Moriaty dried her
tears, choked back the sorrow Of her heart
in one mighty gulp, and strobe into her own
house, shutting the front door without the
aid of the knob. She told Clarinda that it
was the scaliest affair she ever went to, and
had it not been for the body there would have
been no funeral at ALL"

AWestern Editors Dive.

From the Chicago Times.
There was a regatta at Geneva Lake, Wis,
| on Monday last, and among the Chicago
spectators was Charles Wilson, the esteemed
editor of the Evening Journal. Mr.. Wilson
has long taken q practical interest in the
charming resort in question, and, as may be
inferred, was prepared to specially enjoy the
festivities of the regatta. He was standing
upon the bridge waiting for the boats to start,
when he was somewhat rudely, though it ap-
pears unintentionally, jostled by a strapping
gentleman just at his elbow.
The latter individual, though totally un-
known to Mr.. Wilson, was really almost as
much of a character as the editor himself,
being no less distinguished parsonage than
s. Red-handed Nike" q noted hruiser in
training near Geneva Lake for forthcoming
prize-6ght.
Annoyed at having been so carelessly
pushed, Mr. Wilson turned gaze of scorn
upon the unknown 50 marked and severe as
to stir at once the latters disgust.
"Maybe you own this BRIDGE" quoth Mi
chael of the nominally CORY palms.
"Well," sneered Mr.. Wilson, 81 probably
paid about as much for the building of this
bridge as you or any other man upon it.
Perhaps you own the whole lake, too?"
continued he of the sanguinary paws.
Il certainly have done more for its i'm
provement than dozen like you," retorted
the somewhat justly lncensed editor
There was shade of sadness in the voice
of "Red-handed Nike as he replied:
'Then you better light oyer into it and see
how it is getting along" at the same time
laying his brawny fists upon the astonished
Journalist and heaving him plump into the
water.
Friends promptly jerked the foundering
involuntary bather back to shore, where, hav- |
ing obtained dry suit and learning that he |
had been ''chinning" to professional bruiscr,
he sensibly saw the magnitude of the joke,
and now enjoys mention OF it as hugely as

The Palatka (Florida) Herald says: St.
Johns River is very remarkable. It is sep

length by strip of land not over forty miles
IN width. Its banks are low, the soil when
examined is found to contain very little
silica, being composed mainly of minute
smells. AT elevated places along the banks

DiO Lewis Advice to a COId.FOOted
LADY.

MADAME, allow me to prescribe for you
have had a long experience in the man
agement of delicate women, and believe
l can give you some important advice.
For the present prescribe only for your
feet.
LIST. Procure quantity of wooden
stockings-not such as you buy at the
stores nnder the name Of lambs wool,
that you can read a paper through, but
the kind that your Aunt Jerusha in the
country knits for you, thick as board,
that will keep your feet dry and warm in
spite of wind and weather.
I'd. If you want to be really thorough,
change them every morning, hanging the
fresh ones by the fire during the night.
Sd. Procure thick calfskin boots,
double-uppers and triple soles, and wear
them from the first of October till the
first of May. Make frequent applications
of some good oil backing.
4th. Avoid rnbbers altogether, except a
pair of large rubber boots, which may be
worn for a little time through snow-drifts
or a flood of water.
9Th. Hold the bottoms of your feet in
cold water half an inch deep, just before
going to bed, two or three minutes, and
then rub them hard with rough towels
and your naked hands.
9th. Now, madame, go out frequently
in all weathers, and, believe me, not only
will your feet enjoy good circulation,
but as a consequence of the good circula-
ton in the lower extremities, your head
will be relieved of all its fullness and your
heart of its palpitations. Your complex
ion will be greatly improved and your
health made better in every respect.

Raisfrg Poultry.

MIR. hEcHI, in an article on the cost and
trouble of keeping poultry, in the Gard
ener's Monthly, says:
Poultry is evidently dear food to the
consumer; but does it cost more food to
produce a pound of poultry than a pound
of meat, live weight? Ianswer, decid-
edly not, but the reverse; for my cattle
and sheep don't eat worms and insects,
whereas fowls consume them abundant
iy and economize and apply every scat
tered seed or kernel that would other
wise be wasted. In another point of
view, is the cost of attendance ard shell
ter greater with poultry than cattle? l
reply not. As to the production of eggs,
that depends upon the quality and guam
tity Of food administered, and tie accom-
paniments of proper warmth and shelter.
There is no fear of ovcrstocking the mar
ket with either eggs or poultry. / gen
orally keep 800 to 400 fowls. They have
free access to every field during the
whole year, and although they help them
selves at harvest time, when the corn is
in sheaf, always get my best crops of
corn on fields adjoining the Zen house. l
have this year two fields of wheat drilled,
and only one bushel of seed per acre
They come within ten or twenty yards of
the fowl house, and are a perfect plant,
although the poultry have been scratch
ing and cultivating the fields ever since
they were drilled. We are apt to forget
that fowls, like sheep, manure where
they go. l must say used at one time
10 feel nervous and angry when saw
them hard at work on the newly sown
corn, put l soon learned to feel confident
that Insects were theirdprincipal gain,
and that my well and deeply deposited
corn escaped.

Puzzling Questions.

TosHow how easily the mind is puz-
lied by any complication of a statement,
we once propounded the following to
gentleman: A owes B $500 and admits
the debt AS father dies intestate and
B father takes the benefit Of the bank
rupt act. Does this discharge AS obi
gation TO z? After no little considera-
ton of the problem several of the COM
pany decided that it did! II seemed to
the friend, with whom we were arguing,
perfectly easy for aay intelligent person
to throw out all the later items of the
statement as having no possible connec-
ton with the first, but the test establish
ed the point for which we were Contend
ing, that this could only be mental
effort to which some men were not equal
at the moment the question was asked. If
we had not Witnessed such exhibitions
we should suppose that question pro-
posed by our friend at Morris, New York,
was designed as . quiz. He supposes the
case of hunter pursuing a squirrel W no
lodges around tree, and as the man
with the gun follows around to get shot,
the nimble game he is seeking keeps al
ways exactly on the opposite side of the
trunk. Now comes the all important
query: Has the gunner, having thus
gone around the tree, also gone around
the squirrel! The town from which the
question comes seems to have divided as
to the answer. With as much gravity as
we can command we reply that. as the
greater includes the lesser, and the SPUR
rel is on the tree, and the gunner has
been around the tree, he has also been
around the squirrel.-N Y-.f0urndJ Of

LOrg Life.

To HAVE good chance for longevity,
an originally good constiiution-that is,
sound internal mechanism-is of i'm
mense advantage; though, in this prim-
airy excellence, we must needs add care
fitness in the art of living. Even phi
losophy does not wear men out, unless
when their constitutions are naturally
weak. Voltaire, who, at his birth, was
put into quart pot, could never, by any
other mode of life than the one he chose,
have been f1oated on to eighty fonr;
whereas, no one was surprised to see
Tbeophrastus toddling about the Agora
al a hundred and seven, or Democritus
enjoying his last laugh at hbddra, when
time had wrcathed his brow with the
laurels of a hundFcd and nine years. The
lives of such men, always active, and
therefore always pleasant, may be re-
earded as worth more than q thousand
years OF such vapid and worthless exist
ence as those of the Yoghis, even though
it should be true that they sometimes
reckon up two hundred anniversaries of
their birthdays. They do nothing to
adorn or soften human life, but, instead,
grovel in selftorture, and the hideous
qualification of vanity, as long as they
deform the earth. If there be secret
of long life, it il Nature only that holds
possession of it. Man neither knows
nor can know how it may be fabricated;
but, when the germ of longevity has
bee conceived in the frame, it may either
be suffered to spring up, flourish, bear
fruit, aud then, in obedience to the hid
den law which originally gave it force,
decay and become extinct, when that
force has been expended, or, by perverse-
ly counteracting the designs of Nature,
be cut short in its career, so tina. the
vitality, originally meant to endure for
hundred and eighty-five years, snay, at
any intermediate stage, be forcibly
quenched. Like clocks, the machinery Of
our frames may be wound up for this or
that length Of time. and go on ticking
for that period, if left to itself, but il is,
no doubt, possible to put spoke in the
works, and stop them by vice or folly,
whenever our madness may prompt us to
such a deed. 1t is within every ones ex-
periencc that hundreds of their acguaint-
ances, with good chances of longevity,
nave literally thrown away their lives
through sheer perversity OF conduct.
They would die, and their wish has been

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

SEPARATING TWO SwARMs To the
question, "W hen two swarms cluster to-
gether, how would you separate them?"
the bee keepers reply: give ell together
in large box and they will settle in diff
ferent corners. -Four swarms together
have been hived in that way. and in the
morning each had taken possession of a
corner"
ANTS NESTS IN GARDENs-A CORE
spondent of Nature, says: Il have found
very effectual remedy for the annoy
ance of ants nesting in the garden paths
and borders. A strong solution of car
bolic acid and water poured into the
holes, kills all the ants it touches, and
the survivors Immediately take them
selves off. Care must be taken in its use,
as it destroys animal ard vegetable, as
well rs insect life.
FAST WoRK-The Northwestern Fd1Ds6r
says: "a California correspondent, who
has eaten wheat bread at supper the ma
terial fer which WAS standing in the field
at sunrise, says that when the grain is
ripe it is often cut, threshed, and put in
the sacks the same day. Instead Of the
used. 1t cuts the straw midway, and its
swath has width nearly double that of
the reaper. With two headers and five
wagons a-large threshing machine is kt pit
running, and in this way forty acres and
l SEQ bushels of wheat are harvested in .
single day.
Low VERSUS Hen FRUIT TREEs.-An
Illinois fruit grower, who has Il, COO ap-
pie and from 4 eco to G,C00 pear trees,
finds that those with low heads of the
same varieties show at least two-tbirds
more fruit, as large or larger, and as
high colored as those with high tops. "
To test the matter, he cut off in certain
rows all the limbs from four TO six feet
| from the ground, and in others encourag-
| ed the limbs to start close to the surface,
and in the latter case neither thinned ncr
rruned. except occasionally to lop away
| a too lusty shoot, in order to preserve a
symmetrical appearance or an evenly bal
anced head; and the above is the result.
BOILED EGGs-It lis commonly said
| that hard boiled eggs are much less
wholesome than those boiled soft, bat the
journal Of Chemistry has an important
| qualification for this statement. The
trouble in digesting hard boiled egg
| pertains to the soi.ite, not to the yelk. the
white being exceeding tough when fully
boiled. To do the cooking right, it ad
ing water sufficient to cover them, and
keep the water nearly up to the boiling
point, but do not let it reach that point
| Fresh eggs viii sooner cook than Ole
zones. By this process the yelks will BE-
! web cooked, while the white does moi
become tough and hard to digest"

Der on each side of the kcrf does not re-

trary, when saving across the grain, the
first thing is to cut the grain loose before

filed diagonally, for cutting eff the fibre.
Beginners must always exercise unusual
care when filing the back of each tooth,
