The Nlaiden's Leap.

A daughter of the first Earl OF Cow
RE was courted by young gentlemen
much her inferior in rank and fortune.
Her family though they gave no en-
couragement to the match, permitted
him to visit them at their castle Of
Ruthven in Perthshirc. and on such
occasions the chamber assigned him
was in tower, near another tower In
which the young lady slept. On one
Of his visits, the young lady, before the
doors were shut, got into her lovers
apartment, but some Of the family hav-
ing discovered 1t, told her mother, who,
having cut off all possibility of retreat,
fastened to surprise them; the young
lady, however, hearing the well-known
steps of her mother hobbling up stairs,
ran to the leads. and took a desperate
leap Of nine feet four inches over a
chasm Of sixty feet from the ground,
alightcd Oh the battlements of the other
tower. whence descending into her own
chamber, she crept into bed. Hor
mother having in vain sought her in
her lovers chamber, came into her
room, where, finding her seemingly
asleep, she apologized for her unjust
suspicion. The young lady cloped t!e
following night, and was married.
The chasm between the towers is still
shown under the appellation Of tho

His Christmas.

A young man OF frank countenance
and confidential air halted g policeman
on Grlswold street, and asked the officer
If he knew Of worthy widow woman
In Detroit, adding: "
"You see, I'm lone man, and hay
Ing plenty Of money in my pocket feel
like making the coming Christmas a
joyful one to some poor widow and her
innocent orphans.'
The officer gave him the address of
three different worthy widows, and tho
man went his way. In about an hour
some loud talk In a saloon on the street
[ attracted the otlicer's attention, and the
lone man with big heart came out of
the place with his coat torn down the
back.
"Hello! thought you were anxious
to send barrel of flour to some poor
widow" said the officer.
"What | want Is to send half a bar
rel of flour TO some poor widow"
slowly replied the man, 'and now Pm
going right of TO do it,"
He went across tho Woodward avenue
and tried to buy Il dog Ola boy for five
cents, and then made several men drink
| with him. He then took a notion to 20
to the postoilice, but on the way met
the officer, who asked him If the flour
had been sent.
"Whaz hourp" demanded the ine-
briate.
"Why, that 1fty pounds you were
going to send some worthy widow"
"Wasn'tjoing to shend fifty pounds
only twenZy-ti five pounds" replied
the man, and he at once started for O.
grocery. On the way he fell down and
rolled off the walk, and being unable
to rise word was sent TO the officer, who
came to take him down. Lifting him
up, he asked:
"Did you send that flour to that wor-
thy widowp''
Bursting into tears the man leaned
over on the blue coat and sobbed out:

How TO CHOOSE a PLow.--Plows
frequently annoy those who use them
in II most mysterious manner. They
refuse to run evenly In the ground anu
refuse to keep TO the land rs they ought
to do. On examining them uothin9
seems to bc wrong. Every properly
shaped piow ought to have slight con
cavity along the bnso of the land side
Of onc-cighlh or threc-siXtecnth Of al
inch SO That the Implement will "suck''
into the soil and run steadily. This
concavity may bo shown by holding Il
steel square TO tho bottom Of the plow
If this part is convex, rs 1t not unfrc-
qucntly is, no matter how high rcpu-
tation the maker of tho plow has, 1t
will not stay in tho ground, and Will
annoy the plowman til the evil Is re-
mcdicd. The landslide Of the base
shonld also be slightly concavc, to the
same extent OF omc-cighth ofan inch Or
more. and never ought to be convex or
bulging, under any circumstances. Ii
these apparently triiling items are pro-
pcrly attended to at the time OF select
ing II pillow, much trouble may be avoid
cd which often seriously pcrplcXes Il
plowman, and causes him TO lose much
time which may thus bn saved.

A day or two ago, when scrvant-girl

sponse to tramp's knock, her face
looked so kind and benevolent that the
hungry man had no doubt that a good
dinner awaited him. I1o had, however,
laid out certain programme, and hc
therefore began:
"My dear woman, l haven't had
anything to eat for two days, and /
wanted to ask If you would spare me
ono Of these iciclcs which has fallen
from tho eaves2"
"Wcll, l dunno," she slowly replied,
as she looked out. "I suppose we
might spare you one, If you are really
suffering, but Of course you won't take
the largest and bestp"
He stepped down and selected an icl-
clio about two feet long, and in a hesl-
tating manner inquired:
eff you would only sprinkle a little
pepper on this would be forever gratc-
ful."
"lts rather bold In you to ask it, but
suppose can sprinkle on a little-a
very little," sho replied, and sho got
the pepper and busted his "luncheon"
very sparingly.

and then you must be gone," she re.
piled.
When tho iolcle had been duly saltcd
the man expressed his thanks, but
didn't move away. His game wasn',
working to suit him. Some folks
wouldn't have stood there and seen

set Of swindlcrs whose operations are
especially directed toward farmers. It
is no reflection upon the intelligence

calls know that all kinds Of fish are not
to be caught with one bait; hence they
operate upon clergymen, doctors, mer-
chants aud farmers, each In a different
manner. 1t Is safe to predict that there

ed thus early In tho season. These
swindlers arc all after one pattern. A

tablish an "agcncy" for some crinkum.
1t may be a stump-puller, a machine
for grinding the knives Of moving ma
chimes, it may be achurn power, or a
spring bed. Whatever 1t Is, chap No.
l, somehow, or In some way, contriyes
to get tho signature OF tho farmer.
Hero Is where tho trouble begins. We
have cautioned and reiterated the cau-
ton: "Farmers be careful what you
sign," and this does not seem to be
enough; no matter how much care is
exercised, the esmOoth-tOng:.c cd chap, No.
l, is usually too much for the farmer.
SO we say to farmers, don't act us agents
to any ything, but If you will not heed
this, and the temptation rs to profit Is
too great to resist, and you will disrc-
gard warnings, we beg of you, farmers,
don't sign anything. You may be
asked to agree to become an agent, yOu
may be asked to give your address. so
that the sample machine, to be sent
free, Will come all right; you may be
asked for merely your post-ofllee ad-
dress. Take our advicc-which Is the
same rs Punch's advice to young pco-
pie about to marry; Don't! dontl!
