A Wlfs's Wonderful Economy.
MAX Adeler. ]

We had been ont to the grave
var,, to bury Mrs. Bidgeon aud were
Tdinp home in the carriage with the
lereayed widower. While he sopped
his eyes with his handkerchief hc
told us about her:
"In one respect l never saw her
eoual. She was q manager. i've
knowed that woman that's lying out
there 10 that tomb to take al Old
nair Of nv trowsers and cnt them up
for the boys. She'd make a splendid
suit of clothes for both Of them out
of them old pauts, get out enough
stuff for a coat for the baby and q
cap for Johnnie, and have some left
over for q rag carpet, besides making
hsndkerchiefs out Of the pockets
and hustle for herself out Of the
other Innings. Give her an old gar.
ment and it was as good as gold
mine. Why, she'd take worn ont
sock and make brand new overcoat
ont of 1t, l believe. She had a turn
of that kind for economy. There's
one of my shirts that | bought in
ls47 still going about making itself
useful as winder curtains and panta
lettes, and plenty Of other things.
Only last July our gridiron gave out
aud she took it apart, and IN two
hours it was rugged on the side of
the house as splendid lightning
rod, all except what she had made
into a poker and ice pick. In
genious! Why, she'd kept our
family in buttons and whistles out
of the ham bones she saved, and she
made fifteen princely chicken coops
from her old hoop skirts, and made
q pig pen ont of her used'np corset
bones. She never wasted anything.
Let cat die about our house, and
the first thing you knew Mary Janed
have n mufi and o set of furs, and |
began to find Inince pies on the
dinner table. She'd stuff feather
bed with the feathers she'd got of
of one little bit Of q rooster. Pve
seen her cook potato parings SOS
you'd think they were canvass
backed ducks, and she had way OF
doctoring up shavings 30 that the
pigs eat elm and growed fat OH EN-.
believe that woman could built a
four.story hotel if you'd given her n
single pine board, or a steamboat
out of n wash boiler, and the very
last thing she said to me was to bury
her in the garden SOS she'd be useful
down below there, helping to shove
up the cabbages. III never see her
like again.

A German paper remarks that u
n probably not generally known that
Plevna has long borne, both among
the Turks and the Bulgarians, the
epitbet of "the impregpable,' in the
same way that GenoA IL distin.
puished by the Italians as "the
superb Florence a. "the beautiful
etc. In the case of Plevna the addi-
ton of the adjective dates back to
the time of Bajejid the Great. When
this monarch overfan and subdued
Bulgaria and drove the Bulgarian
emperor from the throne, the gar.
rison of Plevna, under the command
of Michael, made such an obstinate
and determined resistance that the
invaders were unable to possess
themselves of the town. For six.
and. sixty years-so runs the legend
az related by the country folk
every effort made by the Turks to
reduce Plevna was Intellectual; the
town and its gallant garrison, al.
though at times hard pressed. still
held out. Its commander, Michael,
received from his enemies, who
recognized his courage and ability,
the title OF "Ghazi,7 or "the con-
queror,- aud it was only after his
death thnt Plevna ultimately fell
into the hands of the Turks.
Nevertheless, it seems not i'm.
probable now that the Turkish gar.
rison Of Plevna will be starved out
