HOsv q Man Prevented q Panic


What GOODNESS may do in such cases
was once well illustrated by the great
German actor, Emile Devrient, The
grand theatre at Vienna was crowded.
The emperor Francis with several MEM
bers Of his family, were In the imper-
ial box. The play, "Schiller's Rob.
bers," had reached its third act, when
cry arose that the stage was on fire.
Devrient signed at once to the promp'
ter, who lowered the curtain, the act or
stepping out In front of 1t ere it wholly
fell. In his very clear, clarion voice
he said: "There is no fire. The EN-
peror has been despoiled of an aigrette
of diamonds on entering the theatre
No honest man will object to being
searched. You will pass out one BY
one at each several entrance and bt
searched by the police stationed at thu
several doors. Any man attempting t.
go out of order will be arrested " Th
crowd, deceived by the GOODNESS OF th
charge, poured out. As each reaches
the door he was simply told to hurr,
on, and just as the last rows OF tn
upper gallery were fling out, tn
flames burst through the curtain, er
veloped the auditorium, but not lif
was lost, although in less than half u
hour after, the great building was /

Ashes in Orchards.

The point to which we now call at
tention is that our farmers and fruit
growers have ignored, or rather been
ignorant of, the Importance OF wood
ashes as q vegetable stimulant and as
the leading constituents Of plants
Even coal ashes. now thrown away as
useless, have been shown, both by ex'
pertinent and analysis, to possess
fair share of alkaline value. we VIII
relate only one experiment: Some
twenty five years ago we treated "a an n
old hollow pippin tree as follows: The
hollow, to the height Of eight feet,
was filed and rammed with q compost
of wood ashes, garden mold and llt
tie was line (cardonate). The hiling
was securely fastened In by boards.
The next year the crop Of SOUND iruit
was sixteen bushels from an old shell
Of tree that had borne nothing OF
any account for some time and Tor
seventeen years after filling, the old
pippin tree continued to flourish and
bear well.-ScisatI9e American.

SUCCESS OF TURKEYS As PoTATo DESTROY
ERs.-Dr. w. j. Hoffman, of this city,
who has just returned from Lehigh coun-
ty, says that along the Jordan creek, in
South Whitehall and Lowhin townships
the farmers to great exten:, got rid of
the potato bags, which were quite hume.
rous, by driving flocks of turkeys into the
potato fields. The turkeys soon find the
larve on the under side Of the leaves
and the beetles too if any are there
and they will go to the field every day
until the pests are completely out. The
beetle, or fully formed potato bug, layi
its eggc on the under side Of the leaf
and it is the larvae or grub that destroy:
the plants. After a time the unwinged
larve becomes o winged beetle and Aiei
away to deposit its eggs elsewhere. The
turkeys devour the larv@. large and smal
while chickens do not see them, as they
gently pick their food from the ground
A few broods of young turkeys at. thi
season will clear the bugs from Large
| patch in two days.

Is TAKING HE MONEY OF TNE
POOR NO ROBBERY:

As an instance of the way in which the
poor are wrsnged by sewing machine conl-
panies, We give in addition to the case OF
Mrs. German, mentioned bv our Philadel-
phia reporter, one Of many others We pre-
sumo, which have taken place in this CITY
A respectable mechanic bought the works
of sewing machine from ono of tho cem-
panles on Market street for $50 and paid
upon it S33. 1t was sent for repairs to a
machine shop, the agent who rented the
machine W it there, ard at once took pos
session of it, and hs. kept it since, refusing
to return it unless SIS are paid, and at the
same time refusing to give any part Of the
$S5 back, to the poor man who has been
thus wronged
The Poor who are daily imp.rtun.d
by these sliok-tongued agents, to take a
machine upon monthly inst,lm.nt., should
steadily refuse to sign any paper drawn
up, or presented by sewing machine
agent. Such papers are intended to de-
celve, and are the means of bitter less to
the poor. Remember, don't sign any paper
prt$eated by sc,siny machine man; go to
justice of the peace, or to any intelligent
citizen and have contract for sale drawn
up; If you fail you will DO robbed. The
robbery of the poor by sewing machine
companies agents, is so frequen, as de-
mand public interference.
Talk OF the infamy of the attachment

of the sewing machine men.
