Too Long Whiflietrees on Plou-hs.

Most ploughmen have SO long whiffie-
trees that it is often impracticable to
make any plough work satisfactorily.
Excellent ploughs are denounced as
worthless, and rejected, simply because
the double whiffietree or the OK yoke
was too long. Yet the ploughman never
suspects wherein consists the true cause
of the difficulty. Our own practice
from boyhood has been to make double
whitfietrees for ploughing never more
than two feet between the points of at
tachment of the singletrees, which were
about twenty-three inches in length.
When it was desirable to plough narrow
furrow-slices, the singletrees were at
tached only twenty-five inches apart.
Let a ploughman attempt to plough
with double-tree six feet in length,
and he will readily understand why q
plough will not run correctly when
the double tree is too long. The plough
will be drawn too far from the furroW
to the unploughed ground, unless the
ploughmau makes constant effort to
prevent the implement from cutting q
furrow slice wider than can be properly
turned over.

Yictimizing New York PawnbrOkers.

One Of the most ingenious methods Of
fraud lately developed in New York city
occurred under the following circum-
stances. A large jeweler, dealing very
extensively in Juergensen watches, sold
to three brother three Jurgensen move
ments. They were to be put in three
cases exactly similar, but differed very
materially from the cases in which they
were imported to this country. Juergen-
sens watches bear leaf on the cases
and the boxes in which they are con-
tanned, and also have his name on the
works. The jeweler, after deciding
upon the cases which the gentlemen
wanted, removed the Juergensen works
from their original cases and put them
i'll cases to suit. Subsequently he en-
deavored to sell the old cases to the
agent of Juergensen, but that gentle
man declined to buy them. Afterward
he sold them at the price of old gold.
They were purchased by n man who put
inside of these cases common works
which cost him few dollars, and then
taking them, with the original Juergen-
sen cases and the boxes in which they
were imported, to pawnbrolser, he was
enabled to pawn them, pretending to be
thief who had stolen them from a
jewelry establishment, for about three
times their cost, the pawnbroker sup
posing them to be genuine Juergensen
watches. Frauds of this sort are verv
frequent in the sale of diamonds, sharp
ers purchasing old and discarded rings
without setting, and putting into them
diamonds with flaws and off color, which
they impose on pawnbrokers, at two OF
three times their value.

Business Reviying i'm New York.

A New York correspondent says: The
revival of business in New York is one
of the peculiar things of our locality. 1t
gives no warning and is heralded by no
symptoms. It comes ON like the rash in a
family. The children go to bed well at
night and arise scarlet in the morning.
Through all the panics of the last twen-
ty-five years the recuperation has been
sudden. The revival does not appear
in one department only, but seems to
affect every line of trade. Under an in
tuition the whole machinery of trade
seems to be put in motion. By general
consent it is admitted that business is
reviving ON all sides; no one can tell
why it is. A well known dry goods mer-
chant said this morning: l." 1 don't know
how it is, but last week I would not have
been unwilling to have taken a journey
to the White mountains or to the seaside.
To-day / have no time to see my friends.
The small force left in my store were
idle, sitting down on boxes, whistling and
eating fruit. To-day every man is in his
place with everything he can attend to.
1 don't allow any of my help to 60 away,
and have called back all my clerks who
were on the wing"
One of our heaviest paper houses
made substantially the same statement:
"Ten days ago, without sign of warn
ing, we found ourselves covered with
orders. We sold ourselves down short
in the spring, and more as an experiment
than anything else, we kept our full
force on through the summer. 1t is we'll
we did SO. We can only answer our or
ders, nothing more. There has never
been so much money wanting invest
ments as now. Unless all signs fail, we
are to have brisk fall season."

A Fastidious Tramp.

He was very gentle in manner he
had mild blue eye and q nasal twang,
relieved by lisp charmingly beautiful
not to hear. His pull on the bell was
gentleness itself; and when Mrs. Spriggs
decided to answer the ring she felt
certain it was some amiable friend. The
"good mornings were said with hearti
ness only to be acquired by long self
denial and training. "Have you an
overcoat, missus? I'm q poor mana
widower with seven small children-fve
that adopted out of pure charity-and
L thought I'd drop in and see about a
coat"
Mrs Spriggs heart moved with pity.
Sho folt that she cnI,ld never stand to be
a widow long, and she joyfully replied
"Oh, yes! have one of Mr. Sprigg's
that he had made to order last March. "
Oh then it is not of the latest style p
"Oh, no / am sorry to say one of
those dreadful tramps stole his best"
The mans face flushed up a little as
he asked:
Buckhorn buttons or gutta percha ?"
Gutta' percha," said Mrs. Spriggs,
"Oh, they have a disagreeable odor. "
ooh, well" said Mrs. Spriggs, motto
ing his look of disappointment, it's a
very nice coat. I'll run up and get it
out of the camphor."
"No, no you need not. Camphor ]
detest, and gutta percha buttons
Au reUoir, madame" and he passed
down the steps, the very picture Of
grand manhood

Apples.

With us the use of the apple, as an
article of food, is far underrated. Be-
sides containing large amount of sugar,
mucilage and other nutritive matter,
apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic
qualities, etc., which act powerfully in
the capacity of refrigerants, tonics and
antiseptics, and when freely used at
the season of mellow ripeness they pre-
vent debility, indigestion, and avert,
without doubt, many of the ellis that
flesh is heir to-" The operatives of
Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples
nearly as nourishing as bread, and far
more SO than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year of much scarcity
apples, instead of being converted into
cider, were sold to the poor, and the
laborers asserted that they could stand
their work on baked apples without
meat; whereas a potato diet required
either meat or some other substantial
nutriment. The French and Germans
use apples extensively; so do the inhabi-
tants of all European nations. The
laborers depend upon them as an article
of food, and frequently make dinner of
sliced apples and bread.- There is no
fruit cooked in as many different ways
in our country as apples, nor is there
any fruit whose value, as an article OF
nutriment, is as great and SO little ap-
preciated. - Water Cure Journal.

Wait.

Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibly why your wife don't get on with
the household affairs las your mother
did," she is doing her best, and no wo-
man can endure that best to be slighted.
Remember the long weary nights she sat
up with the little babe that died-remem-
ber the love and care she bestowed upon
you when you had that long spell of sick
ness. Do you think she is made of cast
iron? Wait-wait in silence and for
bearance, and the light will come back
to her .eyes-the old light for the old
days. Wait, wife, before you speak re-
proachfully to your husband when he
comes home late, weary and "out Of
Sorts He worked hard for you all day
perhaps, far into the night; he has
wrestled, hand in hand with care, and
selfshness, and greed, and all the de
mands that follow in the train of money
making. Let home be another atmos
phere entirely. Let him feel that there
is one place in the world where he cal
find peace, and quiet, and perfect love.

sufferings, to Salt Lake City. Meanwhile
the Mountain Meadows massacre had oc-
CURED, for which Bishop Lee was exc
cuted last spring, and the responsibility
for which Brigham Young is believed to
have shared. Brigham has often come
into conflict with the federal officers in
Utah, and to-day the question whether
Mormon or federal officers shall summon
jurors is still unsettled. The history of
Utah during the last twelve years has
been little more than the history of Brig
ham Young.
When Horace Greeley visited Brigham
in 1859, Brigham, according to his own
account, had fifteen wives, and "knew
no one who had more;" and when Mr..
Greeley asked whether the Apostle Paul
had not commanded that bishop should
be the husband of one wife, Brigham
replied in effect: eyes, of at least one
wife, and of as many more as he pleases." I"
In 1866 he had twenty-nine wives, and it
is believed by some that when he died
the number had not increased, and by
others that it amounted to forty or more.
The exact number it was almost always
difficult to learn. His favorite wife in
luuCI years Wub hIltllt Il OlSOul, anu Ills
best known one, Ann Eliza.
Brigham's personal appearance in
1870 is described ss follows by Mr..
Bayard Taylor, who saw him at Salt
Lake City in that year:
He is both short and broad, but his
thickness gives the impression of strength
rather than corpulence. Although sixty
nine years old, there is no gray in his
sandy hair, and his small blue eyes are
keen and full of power. His head is
large and approaching to squareness in
its form, and his complexion is a strong,
healthy red. His thin, frm-set mouth
and large jaws express an indomitable
energy. The general expression of his
face is at once reticent and watchful. In
his greeting there was the blandness of
an acquired, rather than natural cour-
tesy. His voice is mild, even-toned and
agreeable, and I can imagine that he
might make himself fascinating to
women, most Of whom find a peculiar
charm in playful and purring lion"

IargR.SiZed Hail.

A special from Mt. Vernon, Illinois,
says: Farmers and others who arrived
in this city yesterday from that portion
of our county called Elk Prairie, twelve
miles distant, report as having occurred
on the previous evening one of the most
terrific rain and hail storms ever expert
enced in the locality named. 1t was in
some respects most remarkable vista
tion. The storm embraced an area of
only four or five miles. Within that
limit the rain fell in torrents, flooding
the previously parched fields and roads
until the water rushed about like foam
ing river. But the startling and inter-
esting feature of the event was the enor-
nous size ane quantity of the hail stones
that fell. Old fathers who in their time
have seen many strange sights, agree
in the opinion that no such spectacle
has ever been witnessed in these parts.
The size of the hail-stones and the vio.
lence with which they descended may be
imagined from the number of birds,
chickens, etc., known to have been kill.
ed. OF the former one man picked up O
dozen in his yard after the storm has
subsided. In the matter of poultry, the
loss is reported as very great. Brief az
was the storm in its duration, yet gen
tleman of veracity informs your CORE
spondent that the hail lay so thick OF
the ground that it was scooped up b,
bucketfuls, many of the stones being a
large as goose eggs, and some mucl
larger. The corn growing within tn
limits of the damaged part was mucl
injured,

HIs This Seat Occupied ?"

An old but looking gentle
man, seemingly from the rural districts,
got into car and walked its full length
without receiving an invitation to sit
down. Approaching one gentleman who
had whole bench to himself he asked:
els this seat occupied?" eyes, sir, it
is" impertinently replied the other.
"Well," replied the broad-shouldered
agriculturist, 81 will keep this seat
until the gentleman comes" The origi-
nal proprietor withdrew himself haughtily
to one end and looked insulted. After n
while the train got in motion, and still
nobody came to claim the seat, where
upon the deep-chested agriculturist
turned and said: "Sir, when you told
me this seat was occupied, you told me
lie such was his plain language-"I
never sit near liar if l can avoid it;
would rather stand up" Then appeal
ing to another party he said "Sir, may
sit next to you. You don't look like a
liar" We need hardly say that he got
his seat, and that the original proprietor
thought that there was something wrong
about our social system. m.-Baltimore

Dreadful Fate of n BOy,

A few days since an accident took
place at Berea, o., the like of which,
perhaps, has never occurred. Some
workmen were raising block of stone
out of a quarry by means of derrick,
and had gotten the stone in position to
be dropped, and let go the power, when
boy named Datie Sabin, about twelve
years of age, got caught in the rope
spool and was dragged into the coil head
foremost. The stone, two tons in weight,
had just started, and nothing could pre-
vent the calamity. The spool whirled
thirteen times, wrapping the rope as
many times about the boys body, crush
ing every bone except in one leg from
the knee down. The weight of the stone
was upon each coil, and of course death
was caused instantly. 1t took some time
to get the rope off,

Passing Away.
BY ANNIE 4. HOWE

Passing away; passing away;
The sweet summer roses are passing away
Their beauty is wasted, their fragrance has fled,
And withring they lie in their damp, lowly bed,
The fair, dewy morns in their splendor willrise,
The pale stars grow soft in evenings clear
skies
But these roses will brighten, ah, never again
Passing away; passing away;
Bright hopes Of my youth-how they're passing
away,
With the beautiful visions that gladden. my
BY daytime and nighttime, as sunlight the
skies! .a1tE-
oh, hope may come back to my sorrowful heart;
Bright dreams from their long-silent chambers
may start,
But those of my youth may WOO all in vain,
For they neer will return in their beauty again!
Passing away; passing away;
Friends I have loved-how they're passing
away!
have watched them go down to that cold,
solemn tide,
While the pale, silent boatman kept close to
their side;
I've caught the dull dip of their deep, muffied
oar,
As he bore them away to that echoless shore
And my heart cryeth out in its desolate pain,
But they ne'er will return to bless me again
Passing away; passing away;
Yet know of land where there is no decay.
Where the balmy airs filled with the richest
perfume
From sweet, fragrant flowers, and fadeless
their bloom;
Where the soul mover grieves as it doth here
below,
Der fair, vanished dreams, DER hopes fitful
glow,
Where linked and forever is loves golden chain,
And PARTING words chill us, Oh, never again

1t is strange thing to see city chap
at country party, but he was there,
and in his conversation with one of the
prettiest lasses ventured to inquire:
"Were you ever at a watering place2'
"Oh, yes" replied she, 81 live right
at one."
"Indeed I" exclaimed he, growing in
terested, "where might it be ?"
"Uh, Just out here little way" wal
her reply, "my father keeps the rail

was in earnest or making fun of him
there dropped the subject.

A Reflection.

When. in the stiffness of summer night
We watch the brightness which the planets
shed,
They say that oftentimes this glancing light
Comes of star that is for ages dead.
So we-most like the stars-when living seem
But darkness and moment thence we die
Then for all the time our deeds of glory gleam
In the vast Heaven of our eternity.
