A SUCCESSFUL BoY.-Dr. John Hall, of
New York, recently told the boys at one
of the lodging houses the following story :.
John Brady twelve years ago was at Black
wells Island, a street vagrant, sleeping
under carts, on door steps, or anywhere he
could find place to keep from freezing.
From here he was sent West on farm.
He was fond of books, and when he had
served his time out he wrote to the Presi-
dent Of Yale College, asking if he could
work to pay his tuition. He was appoin-
ted bell ringer there. He was so brilliant
that when he graduated friends offered to
pay his expenses through the theological
seminary. He has just graduated with
the highest honors, and gone as missiona-
ry to the Esquimaux in Alaska. s'There's
a success in life for you, boysl'' said DIR.
Hall, and SO there is for every boy who
has energy and noble purpose.

Love Making at the White Sulphur.


Here is an average instance: A young
lady just turned out from school comes
here to enter for the first time the whirl of
society life. At first she is rather dazed,
and doesn't exactly know what to do, but
soon gets introduced about, and takes
part in all the gayeties of the place. It is
assumed that she is bright and pretty. and
she soon has any number of butterfly admir-
ers, and of course finds some one who likes
her better than he does any one else, as
she does him. Things 60 on until he de-
cideS that he'll "lOve her while" So
some afternoon, out at Lovers Leap, he
takes one hand-sometimes both-and,
looking in her pretty brown eyes says: II
have tried to repress.the feeling, but can
not; for I feel toward you as I never felt
toward woman ibefore-I love YOU" s95l
|, She looks as if she'd like to say about
twice as much, when he breaks the silence
by saying, ''Let's be engaged?" not "Will
you marry me ?'' Oh, mol He isn't seven
or Gig ht years older than this little Maud
Muller for nothing. So they're .'engaged,' 2
and the summer wears on, she saying,
GLOW good and how noble he is, and how
happy we'll be- while he laughs through
the smoke of fragrant cigar and says to
himself, s.What little fool she is to be-
lieye me.'' And SO it goes. Well, the
time comes for her to 60. He bids her
goodbye at the train, aud she goes home
to sigh for somebody awhile, and then get
over it, while he goes back TO the hotel,
and ere long tells some other girl that 'sshe
is the tree upon which the fruit of his
heart is growing" This is about the style
of White Sulphur love affairs, though the
fair ones are not always SO easily fooled.
81 love you with a love that the English
language does not furnish words where
with for me to express myself, - so Lou
isiana gentleman said to pretty Balti-
more girl the other day. "Do your" she
said. "Alas yes" said he. ''Well, Them
was the sensible answer, suppose you
wait till I get home and tell me so there"
The gentleman subsidized, and though it
speaks well for her good sense, she might
better have kept it to herself. However,
1t is put on record here for the benefit of
the unwary. Yes, most of the love affairs
born of Sulphur water, hot weather, and
the German are but feeting fancies. 'sYou
loved Miss Flora A. last season; how is it
you see nothing of her this?'' asked
young lady of a masculine friend the other
day. "Where is that pretty yellow and
black dress you wore last season." he
asked. ''Oh! it's worn out.'' s'That's
what's the matter with Miss Flora, for
sweethearts as well as dresses wear out"

Locomotives Speed.

"How fast do you think we are travel
ing2" Charley Fraser, one of the oldest
engineers of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railway, asked a "Sun" reporter
as they were standing together on the
footboard of a locomotive, rushing over
the meadows towards Rutherford Park.
81 should think we were going nearly a
mile minute.''
ga mile minute!'' said Fraser. 81
doubt if you ever rode mile minute.
Few locomotives have driving wheels over
five feet, and 1 have my doubts if a five
foot wheeler can be pushed mile a
minute. People have very erroneous
idea of the speed of railroad trains. We
are not now going more than thirty-ive
miles an hour, and this is very fast. Few
trains make this speed. The passengers
in the cars would think we were going a
mile minute, sure, if was to pull out
the throttle so as to send her forty miles
an hour. The express trains make no such
time as the local trains. Where we lose is
with so many stops. No man could stand
on platform car and face the wind going
a mile a minute, and live. The breath
would actually be blown out of his body.
You couldn't count the telegraph poles
going a mile minute. Talk to an old en-
gineer of hat rate being made by pas
senger train, and he would laugh. made
a mile a minute once, however. 1t was
when was but eighteen years of age. 1
was an engineer, then, in charge of fine
six foot wheel locomotive. There was
lot of railroad moguls ON board, and the
object was to make the best time we could,
They were to ring the gong when the
speed was mile a minute. l thought we
were making it for some time before the
bell rung. at length. on a down grade,
with full head of steam, when we were
spinning along as if we were going to de-
struction. and the motion of the piston GO
ing over the centre could no longer be dis
tinguished, the bell rang. We had reach
ed the rate of a mile a minute. 1t was the
fastest 1 ever rode, before or since. tried
hard to make mile minute on subse-
quent miles, but lacked it three or four
seconds every time. I couldn't squeeze
another mile inside of the sixty seconds.
When you hear of man telling about
riding in passenger train that ran mile
minute, don't say anything. but men
tally scratch off a good allowance.-N. Y.

CIDER APPLE SAUcE.-Boil down a
kettleful Of sweet cider TO ,one-half its
original quantity, then fill it with Juicy
apples, pared, cored and CHARTERED. Cook
very gently until the apples are tender,
and take them out with a skinner; boil
down the juice until there is just enough
to cover them, and spice. If liked, but be
careful not to use to much, and, II NOT
sweet enough, put in sugar or syrup syrup TO
supply the deficiency, Turn the juice over
the apples and let it stand closely covered
until next day; turn off the juice, boil for
a short time and pour t'again over the
apples. It will be found equal to the
shaker apple sauce, which is SO Justly cele-
brated. The apples should retain their
shape, the syrup be rich and .thick and
both be dark brown. % The sauce, well
made, will keep all winter without seal.

How TO GET RID OF GARLIC was one
of thequestions discussed at a recent meet
ing of the Mutual Farmers Club Of Fred
erick county. The essayist stated that Il
The only practical mode was to let the
land run into close sod of our common
blue grass, or better, because closer, into
what is known as yard green or Kentucky
blue grass; that the application of manure
or bone meal on a blue grass sod will
change its condition, and by permitting
the land to remain in grass for & few years
the garlic will be destroyed. Although
garlic seeds from the root as well as the
top, yet if the top by moving or close feed
ing does not seed for few years the root
will die. Perhaps an abundance of. ,clo-
yer. timothy or orchard grass might keep
it down. but it is SO seldom that perfect
catch of these seeds occur that the remedy
is not very certain, while the other, mode
is from the, essayist's experience. The
Club also considered that the best use to
make Of redundant straw was to apply it
to the land, and that it would do the most
good on grass J lands. a,ss9ls liar ss3 ,., >.

SWEET CORN FOR FoDDER.-Atrial of
several varieties Of sweet corn for, fodder
for mich cows thelpast season hasresulted
very successfully. Many good farmers
have for years past considered sweet corn
fodder to be worth more than that from
field corn. The large quantity of sugar
contained In sweet corn make highly nu-
,trious food. sugar being as much nutri-
nent as starch-indeed 1t is strongly be-
lieved by some physiologist that the starch
food is changed in great part to sugar dur
ing digestion. But it will be found in
practice that the most valuable fodder is
that which is grown SO widely apart that
the juices of the stalks are matured and
the ears are considerably developed before
the crop is. cut. Small, early varieties
planted in May and afterward, may be,
gathered in July and August, and the me-
dunn late varieties, such as the Trump,
will come in August and September, while
the late evergreens will last until frost
stops the growth. p philadelphia Press. 49,
