Why Woman Travelled in Mans Clothing

[ She sat in the last cell of the row
at the Central Station, says the Read
ing Eagle, and looked very much
dlspleased. Over her. knee hung q.
heavy dark coat. Her shirt was of
gray linen, and about her peck was a
paper collar. She wore green neck
tie, dark vest and dark pantaloons.
Her hair was dark and red, and il
was carefully parted on the right side.
She would at any time pass for q
gentle youth of about eighteen
Summers.
"Of course I'm a woman" she sad
to an Eagle reporter. 81 told them
so when we were arrested. We came
to this town by pike, and my husband
took me out on the hill near the
cemetery, where they found us, where
he said | might wait until he brought
our clothes from the express office. l
had intended to change these mems
clothes for my own attire as soon as
he came out. think it ia a shame
for US to be treated in this manner.
She was asked why she wore mems
clothes. "Because it is easier to
travel this way, and my husband and
myself can get along much better. If
man and woman travel along the
road, they are subject to all kinds of
abuse, but if two men pass along,
nothing is said to them. Another
thing, if we want to stop at a hotel
we can do so muah easier if dress
this way. We've been travelling
good long distance together, and
we've met with . good deal Of
trouble"

THE PoTATo BUG LARVAE PoIs~
oNoUs.-Dr. S. J. Parker of Ithica,
n. Y, contributes a paper TO the
Department of Agriculture report on
this subject. His conclusion is that
no effect is produced by them on
people generally, but that some ara
poisoned by them as FROM certain
spiders. Many cases are known OF
people handling them who testify to
their blistering effect on the skin:
An Irishman allowed the laryg to get
into his boots, and worked most of
the day with the crushed Larvae next
bis sweaty flesh. The result was
peculiar pas formation beneath the
outer layer Of the skin, tha latter
being fiery red in appearance. This
man was six weeks in recovering.
A second Irsn laborer had the pus-
mark of me potato bug, in plant like,
wayyilnes on both feet and legs He
b,d worked three days with his feet
wet with the JUICE Of the potato
beetle and larvae, with WHICH his
filthy stockings were stained, and the
crushed insects were found ip his
shoes. This man fingered oyer two
months and died in consequence. One
case of poisoning was cited from
breathing the fumes of hot water used
in scalding the insects collected.
Probably many are poisoned, says the
writer, without knowing it, and as in
other diseases from poisoning, the
cause of The disease is not recognized,
either by themselves or the physician,
1t is concluded from these obserYas
lions that while thousands work IN
fields infected by these insects without
danger, and handle them with impu-
nifty, there is danger of a peculiar
poisoning Therefore those
liable to scrotulous and skin diseases
should use eau ton. After contact
with the crushed insects the hands OF
feet should be washed clean.

VINO Cor THE KETTLE 1.-Two
Irishmen, while walking across a
ploughed field, happened to catch
sight of an old kettle. Both i'm
mediately claimed it, and the dispute
waxed hot.
Finally one Of them exclaimed:
q say. Mike, the man who can tell
the biggest lie gets the kettle II
"All right" answered Mike, an
we'll leave the daycission to the first
man they met was good Deac' Z
Plumb. After they had told him
about the matter, he remarked
"My good men, don't you know
that it is wrong to lie in any case. |,
myself, never told lie in my life"
oh, murther ~ cried Pat, in comj,
surprise, "giye the deacon the kettle

WHEN TO SALT SrocK.-Going 10
church, winding the clock and sailing
the cattle and sheep used TO be triple
duties for every summer Sunday in
many we'll regulated farmers family,
We trust the last IA med exercise has
IN most places been stricken from the
programme, Experiments which have
recently been made show that when
COWS have been sailed but once Z
week their flow of milk has been the
largest on the day when they have
been sailed. and that even when sails
ted once in two days they give more
milk on the day when they had salt
than on the one they did not. The
lessons to be drawn is obvious
enough. Salt your COWS every day.
So Of other stock-keep salt by it so
that whenever it has an appetite for
salt it can crafty il. No animal will
eat more salt than it wants or needs,
if it has access to the trough every
day but if Obliged to go salt hungry
for eight OF ten days and then give
it a chance, it is pretty certain to eat
more than is good for it. None Ut

So when Herbert Warrington
sent his carriage Lima was quite ready
for the fourteen mile drive to her
brothers house. 1t was most unlike
a house wherein any evil spirit of re-
pining or fault finding should have
found an abode. Spacious, hand

FLOWERS THAT NEVER wITHER.
There are flowers that never wither,
There are skies that never fade,
There are trees that cast forever,
Cooling bowers of leafY shade,
There are silver wavelets flowing
With lulhing sound Of rest,
Where the west wind, softly blowing,
Fans the far lands of the blest.
Thitherward our steps are tending,
Oft through dim, oppressive tears,
More of grief than pleasure blending
In the darkening wool of years,
Often would our footsteps weary,
Sink upon the winding way,
But that when all looks most dreary,
O'er US beams a cheering ray.
Thus the Father who hath made us
Tenants of this world Of care,
Knoweth how to kindly aid US
With the burdens we must bear;
Knoweth how to cause the spirit
Hopefully to raise its eyes
Toward the home it doth inherit
Far beyond the azure skies.
There is voice that whispers slowly
Down within this heart Of mine,
Where emotions the most holy
Ever make their sacred shrine,
And it tells thrilling story
Of the great Redcemer's love,
And the Acknowledging glory
Of the better land above.
Oh, this life, with all its sorrows,
Hasteth onward to a close!
In q few more brief to-morrows
Will have ended all our woes,
Then DER death the part immortal
Shall sublimely rise and soar,
Ger the star-resplendent portal,
There to dwell for evermore.

that all who could defer business that would take
them abroad did II the state Of tho country roads
could be tuads worse, the recent wsather will have
that effect. The applications for loans were scanty
aud unimporant. There very little reuuneraye ac-

make necessary sonae borrowing by city business
man. Tha offerings Of popar from thcse sourcas are ~
sufficient to keep the funds ot the banku In use
These institutions consequently their surplus Of
idle funds increasing. This IL familiar spectacle
at this time Of the year, and exces special remark
That with growing surplus Of loanable resources
tho ban1s should have refused with virtual unann-
ity to advance the city any money its certificates,
is very significant expression Of their opinion to
the value Of these securities.
