PRODUCE AND PROYISIONs.


There is something like a lu,l in the pro.
duce trade. Oats only are active As regards
other agricultural productions the market is
dull and not altogether trustw orthy.
FLOUR-The regular eastern order demand
has fallen of, to some extent and wholesale
prices OF good brands of flour are little un-
certain. Dealers decline to reduce quotations
below SAFE tor good "straight'' xxx
bakers flour in lots, and 81 25a4 50 for ordi
nary xxx. Patent process flour is held at
IS 25a6 81 " Dbl. Rye flour is saleahle at
1915 Dbl; bolted corn meal at $l.lO u lUO

WHEAT-Local farmers appear to have be-
come Disguised with the low prices prevail
ing, and to have gone to some other market,
or else to have kept their grain at home That
is their affair The receipts by rail have been
considerable, but have gradually dwindled.
1t is certain that the mills and millers wish
for W heat to grind it also seems quite certain
that there is to be a big crop this year, unless
some disaster happens. Street prices for No

Philanthropy of Common Life.

There are those who, with kind of no.
BILE but mistaken aspiration, are asking for
a life which shall, in its form and outward
course, be more spiritual and divine than
that which they are obliged to live. They
think that if they could devote themselves
entirely to what are called the labors of
philanthropy, to visiting the poor and
sick, that would be well and worthy-and
so it would be. They think that if it
could be inscribed on their tombstone that
they had visited million couches of dis.
ease, and carried balm and soothing to
them, that would be glorious record
and SO it would be. But let me tell you
that the million occasions will come-ay,
in the ordinary paths of life, in your houses
and by your wherein you may
act as nobly as if all your life long you
visited beds of sickness and pain. Yes, l
say the million occasions will come, vary
ing every hour, III which you may restrain
your passions, subdue your heart to gentle
ness and patience, resign your interest to
another's advantage, speak words of kind
ness and wisdom, raise the fallen, and cheer
the fainting and sick in spirit, and soften
and assuage the WEAKNESS and bitterness
of the mortal lot. These cannot, indeed, be
written on your tombs, for they are not
one series of specifications, like those OF
what is technically denominated philan-
throphy. But in them, I say, you may dis
charge offices not less glorious for your
selves than the selt-denials of the far fam
ed Sisters of Charity, or than the labors Of
Howard or Oberlin. They shall not be
written on your tombs; but they are writ
ten deep in the hearts of men--of friends
of children, of kindred all around you

Breaking the News Gently.

A miner whom we will call Hughes, fell
down winZe in one of the Comstock
mines several years ago and was killed
His companions gathered up his remains
and putting them in an express wagon
started for his home. Another miner, a
fine, good-hearted fellow, was sent on ahead
to bear the sad news to the bereaved fami-
ly. All the way along he was discussing
with himself us to how he should tell the
terrible story so as not to crush the unfor-
tunate household; but he reached the
house before having settled definitely upon
his plan. Meeting Mrs. Hughes at the
door he accosted her in the usual manner
of an acquaintance, and then said:
"Where's George, to-day, Mrs. Hughes ~
"He's at work in the mine as usual, thank
you sir" replied the woman.
GLOW is he feeling to-day z" was the
next question. The news-bearer was be.
coming desperate. He was brave man
who would have no fear of caving drift
or delayed blast, whose heart was so ten.
der that he did not know how to tell q
woman of her husbands death.
With some show ofsurprise Mrs. Hughes
answered the last question About as wei
as he generally does, | believe"
The man was desperate and not know.
ing what to say, he blurted out: "I'll bel
you ten dollars he's dead, and here comes
his body in wagon"
He swallowed a big lump in his throat
and wiped piece of porphyry out of his
left eye with his shirt sleeve Afterward
in talking over the matter with his com
rades, he said it was the greatest trial hi
had ever experienced, and that hereafter
when "a man was killed they might call OF
somebody else to tell the news Gold Hill

Farm Notes.

BY u recent decision of the Vermont
courts, the fruit growing on the limbs of
a tree overhanging the land of one man,
while the roots are on the premises of an
nther, belongs to the latter; but the person
,ver whose land the limbs project may, if
he sees fit, saw them off, even to the line.
-Barn-yaId manure must remain, for
many years at least, the back bone of pro-
6tabe farming hence it should be guard
I'd with especial care. Manures should
invariably be under cover, and in absence of
proper shelter they should be protected by
thick coat of dry earth, road scrapings,
suds and mould.
The easiest way to get rid of stumps
of trees is to bore hole in the top, say one
or two inches and eighteen inches deep
Put in the hole from one to two ounces of
of saltpetre, fill the hole with water, and
plug up tight. In the spring take out the
plug pour in a half gill of kerosene oil,
and set fire to it. The stump will burn
entirely up, even to the smallest roots.
No such disease as horn all is rec-
ognized by the authorities on diseases Of
cattle. If there is such and it was half as
common as some quacks claim it to be,
then breeders are very foolish not to get
rid OF it entirely by raising stock having
no horns When bovines have wet horns
the seat of the disease Is not in the horn
but in retarded circulation which may be
the result of fever, bilious affection, excess
or insufficiency of food, pulmonary trouble
or garget. No cow or OK has any disease
Of the horns unless the result of local in
jury.

The Wrong Pig.

1t is related that II bear and its leader
lately arrived toward night at village
near the city OF Lyons, and the latter sought
admission into the only inn in the place.
The host at first declined to admit tn,
strange pair, not knowing where to place
the animal, but finally he concluded to re
ceive them. The bear was placed in a
pigsty, and its occupant, II fat pig which
was to be killed on the morrow, was lei
loose in the court yard. In the middle
the night cries of help proceeding from the
pigsty aroused the house, and the host, In,
wife and the servants at once ran to thu
spot. 1t was ascertained that thief, ex.
cited by the splendid condition of the pig
had determined on clipping with it, ana
had entered the pigsty with that intention
The bear, displeased at being suddenl,
awakened by this enterprising individual
rewarded him with fraternal hug, which
caused the would-b be thief to cry out so lus
tily. The man was delivered from tn,
jaws of the bear, but only to be placed in
the hands of justice.

Christmas Thoughts.

CiTlstlhaS AHOtShlSs
If could utter some new magic word
To lull the pain in one poor troubled soul;
Or when Belhesda's shining pool is stirred,
Could lift some cripple in and make him
If could set some bruised and tired feet
Where they could hcnceforth trace smoother
way;
would not ask a gift more fair and sweet,
To bless me on this happy Christmas day.
If where life's lilies grow most white and tall,
could but hide each tender little child
Away from cold and dreary rains that fall,
From contact with the sinful and defiled
Away from rugged paths, where briars tear
The tender flesh Of their small rosy feet;
Or shield one little life from sin and care;
think my Christmas gift would be complete.
All, foolish heart, be still Nor any more
Disturb the tenderness that is Divine
He knows whenever feet are bruised and sore,
And gives them pity, gentler far than thine.
Our keencst sorrow may be sent to bring
The dearest guest our life has ever known
Sweet Patience, who in gathering the sting
From other lives, forgets about her own.
And there are old sweet words of truth and
love,
As full of meaning as n mothers kiss,
Which fall like benedictions from above,
And never weary in a world like this.
Bethesda's pool is nearer than we Think
1t springs wherever there are tired feet;
The gift you crave lies trembling on its brink
You still may make your Christmas day com
plete.
And if God wills that even baby feet
Should feel the sharpness of lifc's toilsome
way,
Be sure that recompense most full and sweet
Is waiting for these little ones some day;
And though it may be hard to understand
The way through which He leads your life and
mine,
May we not safely trust the gracious hand,
That brings TO us so good Christmas time !

Captain Waring, for defendant, introduced
Martha A. Wray, with evident assurance

A Husbands Cruel Crime

A Rhode Island lady who was
in the habit of taking large quantities of
the tincture of iron found great benefit
from the medicine, but also incurred
large bills at the apothecary's, which
her husband found it rather difficult to
meet. Instead of brutallv cutting of
her medicinal supplies, this ingenious
and humane man conceived the plan OF
manufacturing tincture of iron in the
SECRECY of his own woodshed. He there
fore procured pail, placed in it two
pounds of old iron nails, three drains of
iron rel-hoops and four scruples of
miscellaneous iron. To this he added
one gallon of aqua pasra, and stirred
the mixture with pitchfork three times
day for week. At the end of that
time he drew off the water with a
siphon, placed it in pint bot
ties ard labeled it ''TE14ct. Feri.
Use as directed" His wife took
this homemade tincture without any
suspicion that it was not purchased at
the apothecary's, and derived all the
benefit from it which she had derived
from the apothecary's own tincture.
Although she had been afflicted for sew
eral months with extreme weakness, her
strength revived under the influence OF
the tincture to such an extent that at the
end of three weeks, when she accident
ally caught her husband in the act of
filling her bottle from the pail in the
woodshed, she was able to lift heavy
pitohfork, and, after welding it with
great vigor for ten minutes, to assist the
hired man in dragging her husband into
the house, where she subsequently APP
piled arnica and brown paper to nearly
two-thirds of his entire surface.

kissing a Princess.

The gardens attached to the residence
of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburg, in
Malta, have been recently and rather
suddenly closed to the public. The
reason for taking this course is thus ex-
planned. The other day the Princess
Victoria Militia, aged just ID months,
was out in the gardens in care of the
nurse, who for the moment had placed
the child on the ground. At the same
time there CHANGED to be strolling by a
charity school of little girls, under
charge of a sister of some religious or
der. Suddenly, before either nurse or
nun could guess what was about to be
accomplished, one of the little charity
girls darted out of the ranks, and
snatching up the infant Princess in her
arms, imprinted on the august baby
brow a fond and sounding kiss, The
horror of all present at the preparation
of SO dastardly and impious an outrage
may bereadily pictured; though the tel
egrams do not give any minute details
of the punishment awarded The child for
the commission of the atrocity. The
result, however, has been, not the dis
charge of the nurse, but the exclusion
of the public from the orange groves of
ST. Antonio. -London Magfum.

A gust of wind came near max
ing an end of it; but
he wrapped the folds of his blanket
around so as TO save it. 1t burned blue
a moment, then clear white, and then
in another moment the leaves were blaz-
ing in the fireplace and the crisis was
passed When the man arose, he found
himself trembling from head to foot, the
perspiration was standing on his brow,
and ne was SO weak he could scarcely
stand.
His horse was in the cabin with him,
and enjoyed the warmth as well as him
self He had no corn for hiAl, and on
" few crackers for his own supper.
Saving some of these for morning, he
divided the rest between himself and the
horse, giving the horse by far the larger
share. For some time they stood side
by side, eating crackers and seeming to
be the best of friends. After supper the
gentleman gathered wood for the night
and prepared to make himself as com
Portable as possible. 1t grew less cold
as the night wore on, and after a time
he ventured to sleep. When he awoke
it was daylight. The fire had burned
down; but it was still warm and was
easily replenished The snow had drift
ed till it nearly covered the cabin, and
it was this that had made it so COM
Portable the latter part of the night.
The storm outside was as wild and flu
rious as ever, with no sign of abate-
ment. 1t would be pleasantest to re
main there till the wind, at least, sub
sided. But this might not be for "a
hours, and, with nothing for his horse
to eat, he did not dare to risk the delay
| At breakfast he divided his crackers
again with his horse, giving him the
most of them, as he had the most of the
| work to do. After their scanty break
fast they pushed out from their com
Portable quarters into the storm. 1t was
| colder and fiercer than ever. The snow
ing had ceased; but the air was full OF
flying snow and great drifts beset the
way. By daylight he recognized the
| place, and so found his direction. The
horse seemed to understand the neces,
stiles of the hour, and rushed forward
will all his might, plunging through
snowdrifts and pulling through the higt
grass and weeds and making fair head
way In about two hours they came in
sight of home, and a short time after the
gentleman, nearly frozen, was by his
own fireside, and the horse was eating
oats in his own stable. The former
never forgot that night in the storm
and he never struck a light without
thinking how much might depend on {
g" single match. ''-NeV York I'adepeaId
