Christmas Greens-The Glad-Time Dec
OratiOns of Home.

We may suppose that the pressed
leaves and the evergreens have been
collected for the Christmas decorations,
and that nothing remains now but to ar
range them. For those unfortunate
people who have not themselves brought
the odor of the woods with the vines,
and pressed the sunniness of the Octo-
Der days into the leaves, who go out to
the corners of the city streets and buy
the wreaths and crosses, and leave Mag
gle and Dennis to hang them in the win
dows Just as the rest of the brown-stone
block has them hung, we have nothing
but commiseration. They can no more
buy the charms of the Christmas green's
than they can buy the love which is the
heart of the Christmas gift. Let the
heaps of glossy holly and delicate cedar
wait for the eager hands of the mother,
who has got no nearer view of the woods
than those bring her for many long
years, and who counts over her bits of
change after the needed marketing is
done to see what can be spared for those
bright tokens of loving Fathers peren-
saial goodness to cheer her tenement
rooms. Let them lie at the corner
grocer's door to remind the father,
whose Christmas will, this year, alas, be
burdened with fears of January cold
and hard winters hunger, that this is
better place to spend a lite money
than at the groggery on the other side,
AID tiny green wreath and cross will
help to brighten a sad house for days
and weeks.
But in many homes there are stores
of gossamer clematis and clusters of
bitter-sweet berries that were brought
from the summer haunt, and are now
to be contrasted with cedar and fir,
>E 10
with the rich yellows and browns of
the oak and the graceful ferns. Over
the windows and doors gorgeous groups
of coloring can be easily placed by sew
ing the various sorts on to common
pRlm-1eaf fans, which can be fastened
to the casing of the door and the cor
nice over the window. Strong cord,
wound with evergreen, can be passed In
graceful festoons from one to another,
and, if there be gas fixture in the GEN.
ter of the room, and the young people
are not easily tired, the rope of green
can be tastefally brought from the cor
ners of the room to the center and coiled
about the fixture, with care, however,
to arrange it so that it shall not come
over the flame and take fire. Then
something of the best must be put in
the windows to testify of good will to
man. IF there be such a blessing in
the house as te-haired grandfather
and grandmother, give some of the
choicest of the trimming to their room,
and make it musical with loving words
as the vines and branches are fastened
there. Then gather mp the fragments

own hands some peace tokens to the
basement, and, while you make the
kitchen join the rest of the house in an
external honoring of Christmas, strive
to gladden. the hearts of the busy work

blessed love which this joyous festival
but feebly commemrates.

The Weak Place.

Home can never be thoroughly
happy place while there are SO few
subjects Of common interest between
man and woman. It is owing to this
that matrimonial engagements are en-
tered into SO rarely on the basis of any
broad intellectual sympathy, such as
might furnish some security for lasting
affection. and 50 often at the bidding of
impulses and fancies that do not out
live the honeymoon and it is owing to
she same cause that SO very large .
proportion Of the lives of most hus-
bands and wives is spent practically
apart, with little or no knowledge on
the part of either of the objects or aims
that engross the greater portion Of the
others thoughts and energies.

Shooting the AbductOrs OF Charley
Ross.

Ross.
On the morning of the 18th Of Decem-
ber, two burglars named Mosier and
Douglass, while in the act of robbing
the house of Judge Van Brunt, in the
suburbs of New York, were shot and
killed by Mr.. Rulef Van Brunt and his
son. One of them made q dying con-
fession, to the effect that he was con-
cerned in the abduction of little Charley
Ross. MIR. Van Brunt thus relates to q
New York reporter the circumstances of
the killing:
At2 2 o'clock the alarm bell rung and
startled me from my sleep. I told my
wife to call my son, as thought there
was something the matter in Judge Van
Brunt's house. I told my SON to look
around, when heard the alarm strike,
and see if everything was all right. He
took lantern and went for Scott, q
workman around the place. They went
over to the Judges house, and they saw
light in one of the windows. NY son
came back and asked for gun. Ny
son wanted me to take gun and come
over with them. I said, g / do not feel
able to CO., and he said, spYou had bet
ter come there is some one in the
Judges house." I then took gun and
went out with them. crept up to the
window, and, by peeping in, saw the
heads of two desperate looking fellows.
They were moving about by the light of
q dim lantern. saw them go into the
buffers pantry and tumble things
around there little, and then they went
upstairs. I said, William, now let's
go for them. You have got the keys;
open the door" He turned the key in
the door, and Immediately we heard the
burglars coming down stairs. They
went into the dining room, and there I
saw the Pickering of match. / saw

shouted, and the word had scarcely left

jects, and he hollered. / felt that he
had been struck. They started to run.
The one who was shot caught on the
cellar door to steady himself. The other
fellow ran. shouted to him to stand.
He wouldn't, and I pulled the trigger
on him. He "hol1ered. They both
started for the gate, and we all blazed
away at them. The young burglar fell
first IN front of my house and the other
by the Judges gate. The young fellow
died at hall past o'clock. saw that
he was dying, and told him If he had
anything to say he had better say il at
once, as he was going to die. The SER
vant girl came up at this time and said,
"It's just good for you" He groaned
out, "Oh, madam, have been a very
wicked man."

Game Laws.


The following sensible statement Of what
is needed in the way of laws protecting fish
and game is from EARN Talks" in the New
Hampshire Mirror and Farmer.
We want fish protected, but we want a
different protection from what the present
law gives. As it is now, your sportsmen.
and that means loafers in general, get all the
benefit Of the law, and Of course the farmers
and land owners don't feel just right about
it. What we want is TO have it established
that fish are property and that the man
who raises or protects them owns them.
What mean Is this; We need a law
which makes landowners the owners of fish
raised on their land that is, If | own all
the land under aud around pond all the
fish in that pond should belong to me, and if
q dozen of us own it then the fish should be-
long to all of US, and anybody who takes them
without our leave should be punished just as
much as If he stole our sheep or our corn
Then there would be some object for us to
have fish protected but now we who own the
land and could, if we would have the law
executed, have no particular interest in it.
| am satisfied that with the right law all
our fish ponds and some of our game swamps
might be made profitable. As was said in
the Mirror a while ago, we get great deal
of money out of our summer boarders, and
about the first thing city man asks when
he comes or writes to enquire about boarding
is, whether there is good fishing near by;
and don't you see if could say to them,
that pond and that trout brook belongs to
me aud nobody can fish in either without ny
permit, that | could 6ll my house every
summer? But my neighbor would growl,
you say, because he would get no boarders.
Suppose he does. Ho might growl, too, be-
cause my house stands on hill aud his in a
vally, but that wouldn't be any reason why
should move down into the swamp and let
him into my house. II he needs q sh pond
let him buy it just as l bought mine, and
don't ask me to open my gates and bars and
have by grass and grain trodden down simply
that his boarders may fare as we'll us mine.
| What is mine is mine and l want it, for
don't love my neighbor as myself and don't
love his boarders as well as well as l do
him.
A few years ago there was just the same
foolish talk about berries being common
property that is now about fish, and If a
farmer objected to crowd of strangers
trampling down his grass and stealing his
berries they called him an old skinaint
but it's pretty well understood here now
that berries are property, private property
and the rights of the owner in them are re-
spected. Now we want fish put on the sam!
list and we are going to have them too, OIL
there will be worse slaughter among your
game laws within the next ten years.

johnson estimates soluble phosphoric acid at
sixteen and quarter cents per pound and
insoluble phosphoric acid at six cents. The
nitrogen aud phosphoric acid in the manure
from pigs, therefore, is usually worth much
more than that in the manure of cattle,
sheep and horses. Ii is worth, probably,
about as much as that found in hen manure.
In the hen manure, however, il is an easy
matter 10 prevent loss, but in pig manure
there is so much water that it is necessary
to take special pains to prevent its running
to waste. If we can save the urine Of pigs,
it will be found a very active and powerful
manure.
On my own farm 1 keep on an average
about one hundred and fifty pigs. have
not yet used dry peat or muck as an absorb
ent, but l propose to do SO. l use more or
less dry earth about the pens, and have
two cellars that are only partly dug out. L
keep twenty or thirty pigs in each Of these
cellars and we wheel out the saturated earth
from time to time and use it as manure.
This is an economical way of digging eel
lar. We gather everything on the farm
that can be used for bedding, such as potato
vines, leaves, etc, and it is astonishing what
a mass Of manure can be made in this way.
Then we save all the droppings of the horse
stable, and use the droppings for bedding
the pigs. l need hardly say that horse
droppings, saturated with pig urine, make a
powerful manure. We cut all our straw
and corn stalks into chaff, and we find that
this cut straw makes far better bedding than
long straw. 1t absorbs more liquid and the
manure is more easily ed.-[COr West
