A Bit Of Married Experience e.

\ writer in the Christian Union SAYS
II married my wife about thirty five
years ago. The ceremony was performed
about seven o'clock in the morning. Be
fore retiring that evening We had talk
encd our entire lives. We agreed with
each other that each should be
watchful and careful never by word or
act, To hurt the feelings Of the other. We
were both young, both hot.tcmpcrcd,
both positive in our like, and dis!ikc,,
and both somewhat eXgc,ing and inneXi.

A PAINFUL ORDEAL.-A Vermont pa
per says: "Mr. o. n. Colby, Of Danville,
met with serious accident last week
while in The woods chopping. In cutting
down large spruce tree it fell in con-
trary direction from what he intended,
and when it came down caught his leg
between the butt and log that lay near,
dislocating his ankle joint and breaking
the bones so that they protruded through
the flesh. In this condition he was held
fast and no help near. Although his
cries were heard a great distance, none
recognized them as of person in dis
tress. Finding that he was not likely to
receive assistance, he took an axe and
chopped the end of the log off, which
was about twenty inches through, and
freed himself, and then crawled on his
hands and knees toward home, but had
gone but short distance before he gave
up in despair. In this condition he was
found by a man happening along, going
across from the main road to the Bu-
chanan place, who took him to his home"

A YOUNG lady POstmistrcss Of Vir-
glnia town recently found herself in
dilemma. She was invited to ball, but
like Flora McFimscy she had nothing
to wear. Just ut this time she found
package in the mail containing fashion
ably made silk dress. The temptation
was too strong for her powers Of resist
ance, and she stole the robe and wore it
to the party. She was arrested and tried,
Her shame and sorrow made such an i'm
preston on the Judge that, in pronounc-
ing the sentence, he was affected to tears.
The sentence was the lightcst in his power
to inllict--Sl00. This was paid at once
and the young lady left the room. Her
betrothcd lover, to please whose fancy
she stole the dress, urged the englgs.:
ment, and they we're married the day al
ter the trial.

DEATH IN AN ELEVATOR Yankee ele.
vatOrs are needed in Paris. The appall-
ing accident at the Grand Hotel, which
occurred a fortnight ago, shows that the
lifts are as dangerous as they arc clumsy.
Owing to the fracture Of chain or to
some defect in the machinery, the car in
stead Of gently descending from the sec
ond floor, went up like a rocket to the
roof of the fifth floor and there received
such q shock that the chains attached to
the weights were broken. Three persons
who were in the Car were killed oat-
right, and another was dangerously
wounded. The car plunged down from
the roof to the ground floor with crash
that alarmed every one in the hotel.
Baron Shack was the first to open the
door, and he found his wife lying dead
on the bottom of the car. They had left
their room together, and she had stepped
into the Car while he had preferred to 90
down by the staircase. There We're no
signs of external injury save slight flow
of blood from the nose, and it is proba-
bic that the Baroness and the other VIC
TINS died from cerebral congestion caused
by tue shock and the rapid passage of
the Car.

A PLEASANT story OF struggling

tleman "who wanted to look at some Of
his pictures, as other people had done be-
fore. lie showed them, hardly noticing
that the old gentleman had laid aside a
number. Then, when he had seen them
all, this gray old fairy in pantaloons said a:
well, Mr.. -, how much will these
come to?' The poor, modest young artist
was completely taken aback. lie gasped
out: i don't knowv But he was dealing
with a customer who was not going TO
take advantage of such innocence, and
it was agreed that the next day the old
gentleman should know. He did know,
and check for more than thousand
dollars was the result. ~. Y. Tribune

PEACH TAPGoCA PUDDING.-Soak over
night in one quart Of water a teacupful
of tapioca, which has been well washed
first in two or three waters. Early in the
morning take the soaked tapioCa, add
pint Of hot water, and throw it into a
farina kettle. Let it simmer till it is rs
lumplcss as starch, but not too thin.
Sweetcn to taste. Open fresh can of
peaches, stir in the syrup, and lay the
halves in with the round sides up. Crate
nutmeg over all, and put the compound
into the oven for half an hour till the
peaches are cooked. Try them with
fork, and then set them away to get per.
fectly cold. A sauce for this pudding
is made Of one pint of swcetened cream and
one teaspoonful Of ilayoring extract
vanilla, lemon or peach. Whip in froth
jHst before sending to the tablc.-HouSe.
k>eper.
APPLE TURNovERs.- Make II paste of
sour milk or buttcrmiIk with n little soda
and salt, as for biscuits, except that more
shortening is necessary. Rub the short,
enng into the flour and add the milk;
then cut off Il piece the size of biscuit
and roll out rather thin. Have ready
dried apples stewcd, siftcd, swectcned
and spiced to taste. Place large spoon
ful on one half Of the rolled paste and
bring the other half over it, pinchng the
edges securely together. Fry in hot
lard, turning them frequently to brown
evenly. Also if you will make up your
soda biscuits for tea in precisely the same
fashion, and before putting into the oven
wet the surface with milk, you will find
it an agreeable variation from the usual
way.
TRANSPARENT PUDDING--Be Beat up eight
eggs with some nutmeg, one-half pound
butter and onc-half pound sugar; put
into saucepan and stir till it thckens,
then cool; line the pudding-dish with
rich crust, pour in the pudding, and bake
in Il moderate oven.
RICE GRlDDLE CAKES AND WAFFLEs.-
Take the cold rice left from dinner, add
milk, salt, and butter sufficient to make
it the required consistency for either grid
die cakes or waiiles.
The VALUE OF DIFFERENT STAPLES
AS FooD.--One pound of corn is equal as
food to abont three and threc-quarters
pounds Of potatoes, or eight and One-haf
pounds of white turnips.
COOKING EGGs.--A teaspoouful of vine
gar put in the water will keep eggs from
breaking when being poached.

PRoF. L. l.. BERTHouD, of the Colora-
do School Mines, suggests method of
Illuminating Il town by the use Of cleo.
trio lights, the electricity to be supplied
by a Gramme electrical machine. BY
the placing the lights at a suitable cleya-
ton, and employing for each light mum,
Der of FreSnel lenses to concentrate the
rays in different directions, he thinks the
streets can be brilliantly illuminated, the
shadows on croSs-suects being relieved
by rcilectors so placed ut short intervals
as to light up the opposite side He also
suggests that rooms with an outer wall
towards the source of light might be it,
Illuminated by the agency of large glass
prism inserted in the wall, which would
reflect the light inside. The Professor
has recommended the adoption Of this
system by Il mountain village in Colora
do. When it has been thoroughly tested
there, it will be easier to Judge of its
feasibility elsewhere.
