He entered, and locked the door after him,

he found that Warren, whom he had left
sleeping soundly, was gone!
He opened the door again, and called
loudly No answer. He hurried up stairs

indeed no trace of him anywhere, and Col

James Warren again. He had no reason
to suppose that there was any motive for
his mysterious disappearance, for he had
not robbed or defrauded his master in any
way whatever. The next day the police
examined the house thoroughly, but Moth

that Colonel Somerville's new house was
up for sale again immediately?
Three facts remain to be recorded : first,
the strange looking needle which the Col

were pronounced to be human blood. Sec
ondly, when the house had been for sale
about six weeks, Col. Somerville received
a letter from the agents, announcing that
the house was sold for the same amount
that he gave for it, The Colonel, being a
man of strict honor, thought himself in
duty bound to make the purchaser aware
of all that had occurred, and hurried up
town to the agents for the purpose of pro-
curing the name and address OF this per-
son. All that the agents could inform him
was that the purchaser was a gentleman
named Williams, and appeared to be an
American. He gave check upon a well
known bank for the amount, and it was
duly honored. The only popularity about
Mr.. Williams, was. that he had a remarka-

never since been put up for sale, but it re-

ACTION OF NITRATE OF SODA. Mr..
Mechi, the representative farmer of Eng
land, states that he has applied nitrate of
soda with very variable results, and that
he attributes his failures to the fact that
in such cases there was no phosphate of
lime lying inert in the soil for the soda to
act on, and make soluble, and that the ac-
ton of this salt was, in great measure,
due to its power to make other compounds
soluble. We think its action may be at
tributed to the nitrogen which is liberated
by the chemical action alluded to.

A Wife's Strategy. Hand-Squ eez.
ing Comedy in II Railroad
Car.

We have but little sympathy for a man
who will barter away the affection he
should feel for wife for he tickle smiles
and favors of other women whose moral
stamina is not strong enough to keep them
afloat on the dark waters Of sim There
fore, we could only smile when we, the
other day, learned the details of the follow
ing little episode:
'sW. L., Of this city, is a young married
man of more than ordinary attractions,
and, of course, he knows it. He is regu-
lar lady-killer in his own estimation. A few
years ago he won the heart and the hand
of an intelligent girl from a neighboring
town but he cannot resist the fascina-
tions Of his old ways among the opposite
sex, an he never let's an opportunity slip
of making himself agreeable to them, and
ingratiating himself into their confidence
as far as possible. Last week his wife was
visited by an acquaintance of her girlhood
from the country-a smart, ffeSh-looking
damsel, but not over-scrupulous about her
conduct-rather loose in her ways, show
ing poor bringing up. During her visit
here, Mr.. L., his wife, and their visitor
took occasion to run up to Nicholson, for
day of pleasure, which passed off to the
apparent enjoyment of all concerned. But
it was on the return trip that the fun COM
menced-for the wife. The three passen-
gers occupied two seats in the car, opened
opposite to each other, the husband and a
few articles of baggage on one seat, and
the ladies facing him. Laughter, merri-
ment and jokes, interspersed with COM
ments on the events of the day, were freely
INDUCED in, and everything was going on
swimmingly, until at length Mrs. L.
thought she caught glimpse, in the dark
corner of the car, of her husbands hand
reaching that of her companion, which lay
partly concealed under her shawl. 1t was
the careful movement of moment to place
her own hand where his was likely to fall.
The next instant she felt the real old-time
pressure of her youthful lovers PALM
which she returned with the aruor that
she had done in the days long gone.
Then followed half hour of more than
usually lively cOllF6ESdulOu OIL Tile ptIt VI
her husband, and it was interspersed at
every significant point, as thick as commas,
with hearty grasps of his wife's little hand.
which were oftentimes heightened into q
downright squeeze; and every one was re-
turned with equal fervor by his wife, who
was delighted beyond measure at the sue
cess of her little game. Nothing inter-
fered with the programme until at length
the conductor suddenly burst open the door
within few feet of them, when the full
glare of his lantern fell on the discomfitted
wight and the laughing wife. She held
stoutly to her husbands hand, and lifted
it as high as her head, until there could no
longer be doubt in the mind of one of the
three as to the situation of affairs.
That man didn't talk worth a cent the
rest of the trip, and as everything has ap-
peared serene around their hearth ever
since it is presumed that he has begged
forgiveness-and is looking for another
chance. '-Scranton (Pa.) Democrat.

Get is drawn on a wagon to the potato
field as a reservoir to draw from. Fill Il

FARM AND FIRESIDE.


DRAFT OF PLeWs.-A. F. Conrad asks.
s'what number of pounds may be consid-
cred to he tie resistance of common
plow when drawn through stiff sod, the
furrow being six inches deep 20 This
question is a hard one to answer, from the
fact that the draft of different kinds of
plows varies very much, and also because
the term ''stiff sod'' is very indefinite. AT
the trial at Utica, a reversible plow, in
green sward, with a furrow six inches
deep, and thirteen wide, showed a resist
ance to the team of e1S pounds; number
of square inches turned rs; resistance per
inch 1872. Another pillow, running four
teen, inches wide, with a furrow seven i'll
ches deep showed Il resistance of 677
pounds; square inches turned 81; resist
ance per square inch 6.s0pounds. A third
plow, running eight inches deep, with
fifteen inch furrow, showed 666 pounds
square inches turned 100; resistance per
square inch $50 pounds. From this A. F.
G. will notice that there is IA great varia-
ton with the kind of pillow. The pillow do
ing the most work seems to have had the
lightest draft. and all 'Eheavy running
plows."

To BAKE A TURKEY.-Le the turkey
be picked, singed and washed, and wipe
dry, inside and out joint only to the first
joints in the legs, and cut some of the neck
off if it is at all bloody: then cut one doz-
en- small gashes in the fleshy parts of the
turkey, on the outside and in different
parts of the turkey, and press one oyster
i'll each cash, then close the skin and flesh
over each oyster as tightly as possible
then stuff your turkey, leaving little
room for the stuffing to swell. When
stuffed, sew it up wit stout cord, rub
over lightly with flour, sprinkle little salt
and pepper on it, and put some in your
turkey, haste it often with it's own drip
pings; bake to a nice brown, thicken your
gravy with a little flour and water Be
sure and keep the bottom of the dripping
pan covered with water, OF it will burn the
gravy and make it bitter.
