A BURGLARS KISS.

A few nights ago several burglars ef-
fected an entrance to house in Montre-
al. They wandered through the house
collecting all the valuable clothing they
could find, rolled it up and threw it out
of the window. They found their way
into the bedroom where Mr.. Mernard,
the man of the house, and his wife were
asleep. Here they found watch and
chain, gold ring, and several other val
uables, of which they took possession
The last of the burglars to leave the
room had to pass by the bed where Mrs.
Mernard lay asleep. He paused for a
moment, and then resolved to add to his
stealings, the theft of kiss. He stoop-
ed down and kissed the sleeping beau
ty,' who was awakened. She recognized
the burglar who has since been arrested.
The moral of which is, young man, never
steal q kiss

Il SAND BLAST.

Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the common sand
blast. Suppose you desire to letter q
piece of marble, you cover the stone
with sheet of wax no thicker Than q
wafer, then cut in the wax the inscrip-
tion desired. Now pass it under the
blast and the wax viii not be injured al
all, but the sand viii cut the letters deep
into the stone, Or If you desire raised
letters, flower, or other emblem, cut
the letter, flower, etc., i'll wax and stick
them upon the stone; then pass the stone
under the blast, and the sand viii cut it
away. Remove the wax and you have
the raised letters. Or take piece of
French plate glass, say two feet by six
and cover it with fine lace; pass it under
tho blast and not thread viii be injured
but the sand viii cut deep into the glass
wherever it is not covered by the lace.
Now remove the lace and you have every
delicate and beautiful figure raised upon
the glass. In this way beautiful figures
of all kinds are cut in glass, and at q
small expense The workmon can hold
their hands under the blast without harm
even when it is rapidly cutting away the
hardest glass, iron or stone, but they
must look out for finger nails, for they
will be Whitfield of hastily. Wrap
piece of soft cotton around the nails, and
they are safe. The sand whittles away
and destroys any hard substance, even
glass, but does not affect substances that
are soft and yielding, Ike wax, cotton or
fine lace, or even the human hand.

HOG AND BLACK SNAKE.

A terrible fight between q hog and
black snake, about seven feet long, has
just been seen near Stone Ridge, N. Y.
A drove of hogs were pasturing in lot
owned by Cornelius Hardenburgh. Most
of the lot is swampy land. The hog had
been wallowing in the mire, where the
snake found him, instantaneously the
snake wound itself three or four times
around the hogs neck, and tried to throw
the hog; but failed. Gaining firm ground
after some trouble, the hog started on a
run toward the drove. The snake then
heightened himself out, and, rearing his
head directly in front of the hogs eye,
drew back as though to strike. AS he
did SO the hog opened wide his mouth,
and instead of striking where it intended,
the snake popped its head between the
hogs jaws, which Immediately closed.
The result was that the head and a part
of the snake were bitten off. The re-
mainder of the snake, which had encircl-
ed the hogs throat, loosened its hold and
dropped to the ground.
A boy, apparently very much agita ted,
rushed into house yesterday and said
to the lady:

MAUDIE MULLER AND THE
JEDGE.
NEW YORK WORLD.

Maudie Miller on an August day
Took the Fever of the Hay.
Sneezing she went, and her shriil All chee!
The mock-bird echo from the tree.
The Jedge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his chestnut horses name.
And drew his bride in the shade
With sternutation to greet the maid.
He spoke Of the grass, and flowers, and trees,
The pollen from which makes sufferers sneeze
And Maudie forgot her swollen nose
And even her graceful bare brown toes.
And listened, while pleased surprise
Looked from her watering, hazel eyes.
AT last, with a wild Ah-chee. Ah-cha!
Ah-choo! Ah-choo. he rode away.
Maudie Muller looked and sneezcd, Ah-chee!
That | the Jedge's bride might be!
He would dress me with silks and diamond rings
And take me up to the White Mountings.
And I'd use the finest cambric mOueh0ir,
And never have the Hay Feyer more.
And heard her sternutations shrill.
Would she were mine, and 1 to-day
Rid of this dab Fever of the Hayi"
But he thought Of her sisters, and clearly saw
Her mother would be his mothcr-inlaw:
The baby would smear his broadcloth coat,
And her brother borrow $ note;
So, closing his heart, the Jedge rode on,
And Maudie was left in the field alone.
But the lawyers smiled that afternoon
When they heard him Justify ah-chooin'.
And the young girl sneezed beside the well
Till the rain on the unrakcd clover FELL
he welded a wife of richest dover,
With an aguiline beak Of ten Roman-pOwer.
And Oft when the wine in his nose was red,
And he knew the old woman was safe in bed,
The proud man sighed with a furnace force,
"Ah, could only get divorce
And marry the girl l saw that day
When had the Fever of the Uay!''
She welded man unlearned and poor,
And they had TWINS every twelyemOnth-surc;
And oft when the summer sun shone hot
She wished she could drown the pes.ly lot.
Again. in the shade of the apple-trees,
She saw 4 rider d,aw rein and sneeZe,
As she looked down, because she knew
Her nose was big enough for two.
Sometimes her narrow kitchen walls
Stretched away into stately halls,
And for him, with pipe in his ugly mug
Oh, if she had him by tie lug!-
A manly form at her side she saw,
And there was no estival catarrh.
Then she took up her burden of life anew,
Signing only "Ah-chee! Ah-choo!"
AIos, for maiden, for Jcdge, alasI
For household drudger and graY-haired ass.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen.
The saddest are, "Hay-fever time again.
All! well for us that region lies
Where the inrusoria never rise:
And in the hereafter angels may
Find a cure for the Fever of the Hay!

A NANTUCKET STORY.

A good story is told here this season
about a estimable Quaker lady who keeps
boarding house on Pearl street. As
everybody knows, the Friends are wont
to speak of people without prefixing IL
ties. Elizabeth Hussey has had so many
boarders that she has been obliged to
lodge them out at other houses, belong
ing to Messrs. Bates, Coffin and Folger.
The other day party consisting of a
dozen or so Baltimoreans, who had been
recommended to go to this lady's, arrived
and at once repaired to her residence.
81 can give thee all board" said she to
the Marylanders, ''but thee must sleep
in Coffins'' ''Whatr' cried the amazed
spokesman. ''That is the best can do
for thee, and if thee don't like it, thee
can go elsewhere" And the indignant
visitors went.

Forsythe, and in an instant he had flung
himself between her and terrible dam
ger.
"O," said Veronica, with a little cry
of terror as she recognized the face.
'sHave we killed him %
8ryon Forsythe WIGS unconscious that
the little gloved hand, which he would
have counted happiness to touch, was
resting gently upon the rich masses of
brown hair that clustered above his fair
open brow.
The best medical aid was summoned,
and he was soon restored to conscious
ness. No prince could have been tended
more carefully than he, lying in dark
ened chamber, whose rich, soft carpet
muffied every sound. He had skilled
nurse, but Veronica herself often soothed
his restlessness. In spite of careful nurs-
ing abrain fever ensued. His wild rawlings
of unjust suspicion and hopeless love,
chilled the hearts of his listeners. We
ronica prayed that he might live to know
his innocence had been proved, and her
father, who had just come up from the
borders of death, longed for reason to
return, that he might atone to the sensi-
tive soul for the injustice. The boon
was granted. One afternoon he opened
his eyes to see Veronica's lovely form
bending over him, not radiant ard ami
mated as he had seen it, but suffusei
with tender sympathy.
"You here? Where am L? 1t was
your father who suspected me Of" he
said weakly.
"Can you forgive me, my boy? l was
hasty. I proved your innocence long
ago. VIII you give me your hand?'
said Mr.. Morton, who stood there.
"You almost gave your life for ours, !"
said Veronica, in a faltering tone, reach
ing out her hand also, which he carried
reverently to his lips.
byron Forsytbe, the junior partner in
the firm of Morton g. Co., and the happy
husband of Veronica, is a firm believer
in the doctrine, that "Misfortunes are
blessings in disguise"

CHINAMEN's S WHITE WIvEs.-The alb
sence of Chinese women in the East has
compelled the males TO intermarry with
the whites. There are in New York at
the present time nearly 300 Cinnamon
who have white wives. They are mainly
Spanish and Irish women, the Mongol-
ians preferring the latter on account of
their skill IN domestic labor. Few OF
them allow their wives to work. This is
due to spirit of gallantrY which is WIS.,
ible even in the West. This intermar-
riage of races commenced about six years
ago. Consequently young China Celtic
generation is springing up, the oldest of
whom is about FIVE years of age. As
these children are becoming very numer-
Gus. they may become an important fac
tor in Strengthening tie kindly relations
between our citizens and Chinese irnmi-
grants. In q year or two some of them
viii be old enough to enter school. Not
only have the Chinese married Spanish
and Irish women, but at No. 45 hIott
street there lives Chinaman who mar
ried colored woman. The pair have
three fine-looking children.-Ncoo York

AGRICULTURAL.

Almost famine prevails among the
tenantry in the west of ireland.
Thirty years ago only about 600 cases
of seed leaf tobacco were sold in the
country. The average quantity now
grown is $50, 900 cases.
The Springfield, Dakota, land Office. in
August disposed of 3S,92493 acres of
land, the Yankton Office of 1885, ,O9S,
acres and the Sioux Falls Office of q, 400
acres.
The soil sholid be fed SO that it in
turn may feed plants; for in proportion
to the richness of the soil, either natural
OF artificial, in just such proportion may
it be made to yield a heavy crop.
There is at present considerable dis
cussion among Minnesota farmers in re-
gard to sowing winter wheat on the
prairies. Conflicting opinions are en-
tertained, but there is disposition
among many to give it fair trial.
In the United Kingdom the average
acreage of holdings is So acres. OF the
tenant farmers, $50, 600 in number, 20
per cent. occupy farms under 80 acres
each; II per cent. between so and 100
acres; Is per cent farms of more than
100 acres each.
A Maryland farmer says he easily
eradicates Canada thigtles by sowing the
infested land with buolzwheat early in
the spring. allowing it to grow till it is
in blossom, turning it under and again
reseeding with the same grain. The
last crop is harvested when ripe.
The very low water in the Mississippi
is operating very seriously against the
shipment of grain from st. Louis and
river ports. There is less than 81 inches
of water in the channel at Cairo. Eight
cents freight on grain is asked from st.
Louis to New Orleans, and barges can
only take half loads.
Another enemy to wheat growing is
reported in the shape of o weed some
what resembling coke. In some parts
of the east it bas become 50 abundant as
to cause serious alarm; especially so in
North Carolina, where it springs up
simultaneously with the grain, and near
ly smothers it. The people have given
it the name of Clutch cockle."
1t is fat year for the west and south
to the tune of 2O,0O0,000 bushels of
wheat, and from 50 to 100 millions of
corn more than was ever produced in the
west, and 10000 bales Of cotton more
than was ever before produced in one
year in the south. The tobacco crop
will be II, 900, 900 pounds more, and the
sugar crop 100000 hogsheads more than
ever before produced in one year.
1t is estimated that at least $4,000 tons
of wheat Will be shipped from eastern
Oregon and Washington territory this
year through Walla Waila alone. This
estimate does not include vast stretch of
territory where the farmers must seek
another outlet. 1t is evident that east
ern Oregon and Washington territory
will, in the future, contribute largely TO
the grain exports of the Pacific coast.
Industry, enterprise and intelligent
| observation is what makes the good
farmer. Such a man uses every means
in his power to keep his land fertile, BIZ
clean cultivation, rotation of crops, and
the application of such manures as may
be adapted to the special wants of the
crops he cultivates. He does more, he
reads the best journals he can buy,
having reference to their practicality il
| agricultural art.

THE UNJUST SUSPICION.

''Wait a moment for this one"
The speaker was middle-aged gentle
man, Mr.. Morton, who was rapidly
writing the address OH some letters.
The one waiting was clerk in the es-
tablishment of Morton & Co., fremont
street, Boston.
'It is necessary for these to be mailed
tonight to go in the first train to 2. IN
the morning. There is n small amount
of money in one Of them. 1t ought to
be sent to the post Office, suppose, but
it is late, and L guess it will be safe
enough to mail it in box"
'Yes, sir" and the quick -motioned
handsome youth of nineteen went out to
the nearest letter box and deposited
them therein.
Mr.. Morton looked up from pile of
letters he was perusing as Byron For
sythe entered at his summons. 81 have
received no receipt for the money you
mailed last Tuesday evening. Did you
make no mistaken" cycling the youth
sharply.
''I mailed them, sir, at the corner" he
answered respectfully, the rich blood
mounting to his checks a. he compre-
hended that he was under suspicion.
STRANGE" muttered Mr.. Morton.
Warren is always punetual-never knew
carelessness like this before on his part.
"Well you can go now" He dashed off
note to the gentleman in Providence
and mailed it.
The next day he received answer that
the money had not reached there. He
again summoned his young clerk.
'Do you still maintain that you mail
ed the letter all right ?"
81 do, sir" Again the blood rushed
painfully to his face at the imputation.
Mr.. Morton eyeing him suspiciously
through his glasses, thought it proof
of guilt.
II have written to Warren, and he
informs me that he never received the
money. You see, sir, under the circum-
stances, can hardly trust you. You
may be innocent, but it looks suspicious.
1 cannot retain you longer unless have
complete confidence in you. I do not
say that you have acted dishonesty, but
it looks dark, sir, dark"
And Byron Forsythe, with his proud
sensitive nature stung to the quick by
the unjust suspicion, went out of the
employ of Morton 4 Co., with his scanty
earnings in his pocket, to seek employ
ment elsewhere.
Two policemen belonging to station 5,
Boston, met at the junction of their re-
spective beats corner of fremont and
Dover streets, about three a. N. Them
selves in shadow, they spotted a man
standing at the nearest letter box, seem
iply engaged in something questionable

| discovering no one in the dim starlight
