Straw Fuel.

In these hard lines il is we'll to prac-
tice economy in every possible direction.
Americans, us a.rulc. particularly west
ers. waste an immense amount OF every
thing. There is an old saying that a
French family could live on what an
American farmer throws away. The
The Mennonites, who emigrated fIom
southern Russia into our far western
states, are teaching the peOp e of that
section All Important lesson i'll this mat
ter of thrift. Prof. Butler writes of them
from Nebraska that he had recently eat
Ell dinner anoug the Menuouites which
was cooked with grass; ant he says that
he has examined straw furnaces in the
house OF the bishop and the men of his
flock The house in which the bishop
lives has been built two years 1t is 4S
by % icet, and there has been no freezing
in it, though he has used nothing for
winter fuel but straw, and his furnace,

writer expresses it, what Nebraska has

Carl Schurz's Family.

The Misses Schurz, the daughters of
Carl Schurz, are not specimens of bux-
ON Teutonic beauty. They are very
fragile and refined, with compilations of
transparent purity, fine, regular features
and fair hair. Miss Agatha, the eldest,
takes care of the baby boy her mother
LETT, and is devoted to the beautiful child,
now running about the house, and talk
ing in baby phrase. For this baby, whom
she took when only few days OLD from
her dying mothers arms, she has given
up everything, with an abandon beauti-
fi,l in so young girl. The other young
daughter, Puss, has charge of little Carl,
an active boy OF eight or ten. So beauti.
fully and purely do these fair girls live,
the two grown sisters caring tor the two
little brothers, and receiving from their
father thu attentions almost of lover,
in public or at home, that it brings up
the ideal home affection which has az
most died out except in novels oman's

Rats and Mice.

These vermin do not agree, and rats
will soon drive mice away, so that when
the latter get really plenty, and shire w1
enough not to enter traps, the incoming
of rats may be hailed with gladness, for
they are much more easily destroyed.
Last winter neighboring farmhouse
was nearly Ovcrrun with rats. They
were undermining the foundations, de-
strOying basket of turnips and of ap-
pies every night. They would not look
ut traps; they were too numerous tor
cats; they could be poisoned only at the
risk of destroying the chickens, for all
ordinary poisOns make the creatures
sick, and they run out of doors and throw
off the load upon their stomachs, and
this it is that pOisons the chickens. Some
one mentioned the use of plaster of Paris
(calcined gypsum). so brought some up
from town for them. 1t was mixed dry
with wheat fourl and indian meal.
The rats ate this; it set and settled them,
and we laughed over this mortar mortal
ity; but it does seem cruel-nO worse,
however, than poisoning with Arsenic

his physicians having pronounced his
case hopeless and Abandoned him TO his

forty years. Thousands OF people have

Cost of Tariff Tinkering.

A special to the New York Graphic
from Washington s,ys the agitation of
changes in the tariff and intel nal revenue
laws is costing great deal more than
the profits of revision will bring. The
revenue receipts in December fell off
$5OO,OOO from the corresponding month
OF the previous year. In January the re-
ceipts fell off over 81. 100000, and the in
,Iications are that'the decrease for Febru-
AIRY will be over $l.200,000. Customs re-
ceipts for the past few months have also
fallen Off over $l,000,000 thus the tariff
agitation since the lst Of December, has
lost the government s2,5O0,000. The bill
will be pending for at least four months'
longer, and the actual loss of the govern
ment will approximate $S,0O0,0o0, To-
bacco manufacturing has about soppel,
the liquor men will not pay their taxes
and importers will not take their goods
out Of bond until the tariff is settled
