In the spring but little care is neces-
sary, except examining the mulch to
see that it is not thick enough to
smother the plants 30 that they do not
get up through it, and pull up any
stray weeds that may have the temeri-
~ to attempt to occupy the ground
along with the strawberries. After
the crop is gathered go over the bed
with sharp scythe and NOW closely
all the tops and rake or gather them
with the mulch and stack carefully in
pile for next winters use, aud with a
spading fork dig up the old row leav-
ing strip about 8 inches wide of the
young plants in what was last season

as before.

YatiOn the Wilson's Albany is about as
good as can be got, as it will not suffer
by little neglect.
The Green Prolific has been very
successfully raised, all over Kansas,
but is pistillate and should have about
one row in five of Wilson's, or some
other strongly stainmate Kind planted
with it to produce pollen, to fertilize
the blossoms. Charles Downing, Trio

others are more or less valuable and
have their friends and advocates.
Samuel Miller OF Missouri, well
known as the originator OF the Martha
grape, has produced some promising
varieties of strawberries. A Seeding
that he introduced some eight years
ago, have been cultivating since
have been in Kansas and think it is
valuable. It is not OF very high flavor
but is the hardest of IS kinds that /
have grown and is quite early, and
very firm fieshed, making it easy to
handle without soiling.

The Deadly MOrphia.

Mrs. Sarah E. Morgan, of So West
Twelfth Street, died yesterday. On
Saturday evening Mrs. Morgan and Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Allen, who live in the
same house, sat down to a game Of
cards. After playing some time Mrs.
Morgan left the room, but returned and
resumed the game, saying that she had
lust taken dose of laudanum. Soon
afterward Mrs. Morgan grew drowsy,
and at last retired. Mr.. Morgan re-
turned from his business late, and he
found his wife lying dressed upon the
bed, unconscious, and holding in her
hand box of morphia. He reused
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen and ran for ply
sician. Mr.. Allen ascertained that no
morphia had been used out of the box.
The fatal dose had evidently been taken
from two-ounce vial of laudanum that
was on the bureau empty. DIR. Wetzel
used the customary remedies, and twen-
ty-four hours of this treatment produced
some results that seemed favorable, but
sudden change supervened, and she
died early yesterday morning.
Mrs. Morgan had been hypochondri-
acal since the death of her young
daughter year and a half ago. Her
nervous system has been much pros
trated since, and recourse to narcotics
was the consequence. Mrs. Morgan
was "a years old, native of Stamford,
Conn, niece of p. L. Barnum, and wife
of Major Harry Morgan of the Tennes-

The Meanest Woman in New
York.

She lives in a fashionable quarter of
the town. And this is what she did
and does: In the name charity she gave
out some dressmaking to the inmates of
one of the Institutions for reforming
and saving women supposed to be lost.
When the work was done this fashion
able and charitable lady was not ready
to pay the bill, which amounted to the
enormous sum of $l2. The same work,
if it had been done at a fashionable
dressmaker's, would have cost her 1926
or perhaps $50. She had no complaint
to make of the manner in which the
work was done; but she haggled about
the price, and, as she gave out the work
in charity, she thought probably that
charity should be extended to her and
not to the poor sewing-women who had
earned the money. One month passed
away, and another, and six more, while
this wealthy and charitable
woman, with one excuse and
another, put off paying the
poor girl who was seeking to earn an
honest living and turn from her evil
ways. But she could not get her hard
earned money from this lady patroness.
Finally, in despair, she had recourse to
the law, by the aid of an agency of
which 1 will write to you, and the pros
pect of exposure, in the character of a
fraud, brought the lady to terms, and
she paid the full amount! And 1 have
styled her the meanest woman in New
York. If any one knows of meaner
men or women than they are who de-
fraud in the name of charity, who do
wickedness under the pretense of be-
nevolence, let them mention the facts,
and 1 will modify the opinion.-Nea0

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

MARKING INK.-Take dram of nj
trate LUNAR caustic), dissolve it in
glass mortar, in double its weight of
pure water. This forms the ink. Then
dissolve dram of salts of tartar in l
ounce of water, in another vessel; this
is the liquid with which the linen must
be previously wetted, then allowed to
dry and afterward to be written on.
ORANGE PUDDING.-4 sweet oranges
peeled and picked to pieces and put in
deep pudding-dish, with 2 cups of
sugar. Put quart of milk, the yelk of
8 eggs, and 2 dessertspoonfuls of corn
starch on to boil. Take off, cool it, and
pour it on the oranges. Then beat the
whites to stiff froth, put it over the
pudding and place it in the oven until it
is of light brown color.
CORN DODGERs.-1 quart of corn
meal, tablespoonful of lard, 2 eggs,
teaspoonful of salt; scald the meal with
the lard in it with boiling water, cool
with little milk, add the eggs (beaten
Light, beat very hard for 10 minutes,
make them thin enough with cold milk
to drop off the spoon and retain their
shape in boiling lard; serve hot; have
the lard boiling hot when you drop
them in.
GALLErTE.-Take l pound each of
butter and flour, a little salt and 2eggs :;
knead the whole together into paste,
roll it not more than an inch in thick
ness, and make it in the size Of a.dessert-
plate. Then put it in the oven for of
an hour; take it out, beat up2 eggs with
little cream and some salt, pour it
over the cake and return it to the oven !;
or, if you please, ornament the back
with candied citron.
MAKING COFFEE.-The roasted ber-
ries should not be ground until few
minutes before you wish to make tho
liquid coffee. The coffee-pot should be
heated previously to putting in the cot
fee, which may be done by means of
boiling water. The common custom of
boiling coffee is unnecessary, as all the
flavor is extracted by boiling-hot water.
Should it, however, be placed upon the
fire, it should be only just simmered for
a minute. To clarity coffee, add shred
of isinglass, small piece of sole or eel
skin, or a spoonful of the white of an
egg.
CHEMICAL SoAP.-Take 1 pound of
white oil soap, CRATE it down fine, add to
it pound of fine rice powder, ounces
of bismuth, both in powder. Previous
to mixing with the soap, put the pow
der into a basin, with ounces of
orange-fower water, and ounce of es-
sence of ambergris; when these are
well mixed, the rice powder and soap
are to be put in, and the whole mass
well beaten twice day for five days !;
after the whole mass is well incorporat-
ed and very stiff, it may be cut into
square cakes, and dried on sheets Of
paper; when perfectly dry and hard,
each cake is to be wrapped up separate
ly in white paper and sealed.

Is 1t Not a Wonder That We Live?

1t is estimated that nearly one-half Of the
human family are to-day sufferers with some
of the following symptoms: A faint al
gone sensation at the pit OF the stomach ihai
food will not remove, a feeling like load
on the stomach after eating, dizzy sensa-
ton in the head, bad taste in the mouth,
a clammy feeling, hot fiushes at times, at
tended with great nervous prostration with
evil forbodings, sometimes sour, burn
ing sensation after eating, with a costive
habit and all the unpleasant symptoms ac'
companying it. Some doctors name the dis
ease liver complaint, some impurity OF the
blood, some dyspepsia, and some kidney
disease; but none of them appear to afford
any permanent relief, and the poor sufferers
sink lower and lower, till death finally comes
to their relief. Latterly there has been q
remedy made by the Shakers, called SHAKER
EXTRACT OF Roofs mot patent medi-
cine), that effects a radical cure for all OF
these symptoms, and we advise a trial. Sold

BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

Once en- time she came to me,
As some small star from heaven might fee
To be a mortal's sole delight,
A love by day, dream by night,
The sweetest thing on land or sea
My little darling crept to me.
A trembiing. tender, fairy thing.
Too grave to smile, too sad to sing.
Aware of earth with grieved surprise,
An alien frora her native skies,
A baby angel strange to see,
My Lite darling came to me.
But love and loving taught her smiles.
And life and living baby wiles.
The way to cling. to coax, to kiss,
To I'LL my soul with deepest bliss;
My heart of hearts. my life. was she,
This little love who came to me.
What words she stammered. soft and low,
No other ear but mine could know;
More gentle than a cooling dove,
More fond than any voice of love,
So shy. 30 sweet, so tenderly,
My little darling spoke to me.
know not how to tell the grace
Tat dwelt upon her wistful face
The tinted skin, the lips pure bloom,
Inc ciearest eyes that knew not gloom,
The hair as soft as moth winge be,
My little darling showed 70 me.
Alas know that all is gone,
That here I sit and grieve alone,
That every fair and gracious thing
loved and lost Is but sting,
Another thorn thy memory,
My little darling, brings 10 me-
But kindly night doth pity pain;
In all my dreams she comes again,
Her precious head il on my breast,
Ny happy arms caress her rest;
hear her words OF tender glee;
Ny little darling kisses me.
Ali sweet Is night-too sweet, too brief
When day recalls our bitterest grief,
The hungry heart. the longing dire
That burns the soul with vain desire,
The ancientcry Of wild distress,
The Rachel mourning, comfortless,

1t seems that the memory of this woman,
like that of her renowned husband, is likely
TO be kept alive to the end Of time. She is
said to have possessed q very irritable tenn
per, and her name has become a synonym Of
"vixcn," or "scold." 1t is more than pos
sible, however, that the judgment passed
upon her by mankind has been too severe.
A more charitable disposition would I'M
doubtedly have discovered in her, many good
qualities, and nave attributed her faiings
more to physical infirmities than to moral
Obliquity. The party most intimately
quainted with her, and therefore best able
to form correct opinion, gives her credit
for many domestic virtues. 1t is now well
known that many Of the diseases to which
women are subject, have direct tendency
to render them irritable, peevish. cross, mo-
rose, unreasonable, SO that they chafe and
fret over all those little ills and annoyances
that person in health would bear with COM
tantrums of Xantippe were due to these
causes alone; and could Socrates, as he re-
turned from the Senate, the Gymnasium,
the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle &
bottle Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
now and then, no doubt he might have
evaded many "curtain lecture" allayed
many 90 domestic broil,'' made it much
pleasanter for the children, and more enjoy
able for himself, and rescued his wife's name
from the uncnviable, worldwide, and eter-
nal notoriety it has attained. Thousands of
women bless the day on which DIR. Piercc's
Eayorite Prescription was first made known
to them. single bottle often gives delicate
and suffering women more relief than months
of treatment from their family physician.
In all those arrangements causing backache,
dragging down sensations, nervous and gen
erai debility, it is sovereign remedy. Its
soothing and healing properties render 1t OF
the utmost value to ladies suffering from in

to correct displacements of internal parts,
