the Majors counsel, objected, stating that
his objection was to medical mans opin-

Careless with Money.

MY friend was the paymaster OF a
large railroad company, and one day he
went out with $4,000 to pay the men.
The money was wrapped up in an old
newspaper, and he carried it under his
arm. He stopped at a way-side hostel
~ for dinner, and left the money on
chair when he went out. He had not
got many miles from the place when he
missed it. He flew back and asked the
woman if she had seen a parcel.
"There's bit of newspaper on the chair
beyont," said she; "perhaps that's it."
which it proved to be, and my friend re-
turned happier and wiser man. An
other Circumstance: A man know of
lost roll of bills amounting to S1O,OOo.
They, also, were tied up in a newspa-
per. He told a friend, and the two
talked over the loss and the probability
of finding the money. The friend made
him tell all the ground he had been over
since he b ad the money. The last place
he was at was the post-office. The
night was wet overhead and slushy un-
der foot They stopped at the post
office, and going to the place where the
man had been found two or three torn
bits of newspaper. 1t was the same.
They looked further, and found the lost
treasure. j. had been kicked in turn by
every one 40 came into the offio and
when found was all untied and com
pletely soaked in slush. They seized it
eagerly and returned to their hotel,
where they spent several hours in clean
ing it. 1t was all there, and at last they
got it dried. The grateful man took his
friend out and bought him the hand
soonest gold watch-chain he could find.

Wonderful Cures by a COlOred Woman.

Mrs. Edward Mix, Wolcotville col
ored woman, who is 45 years of age, it
is alleged, is creating quite sensation
in Litchfield County, Connecticut, by
the wonderful cures which she performs
by the laying on of hands. 1t is report
ed that the woman says she does nothing
without Gods help; that her patients
must have implicit faith to insure sue
cess; and that she herself was cured,
after years of i'll health, by the prayers
and the laying on of hands of Second
Advent preacher named Allen of Spring
field, Mass. The preacher suggested
that she had the power of healing in
her, and her first experience was in cur
ing a troublesome wart under her eye.
After laying her hand on the protuber-
ance and praying for its removal it
withered away and dropped off in a
night. Then she began with other per-
sons, and has treated 230, some of them
with wonderful success. A Mrs. Burr,
of Burrville, who had been sick for 80
and confined to her room for % years,
was treated on one Sunday, and has
been well and strong ever since, while
Wolcotville boy, who had never walked
on account of weak ankles, was similarly
cured. The doctors in the vicinity say
Mrs. Mix has wonderful power of some
kind, bnt claim that she is successful
only with functional or chronic diseases,
and that the most of her cures are effect
ed among the lower and more super
stitiOus classes. Mrs. Mix never asks
for any pay from her patients, and she
says it would be wrong to do so while
doing Gods work; but she takes what
is offered her. Sometimes, however,
she has to pay her own expenses when
going to see people, and gets nothing in
return. Hartford Times.

How TO UTILIZE OLD FRUIT CANS
Perhaps one of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit-can that can be de-
vised is to make it contribute to the
growth of new fruit to fill new cans.
This is done in the following manner
The can is pierced with one or more
pin-holes, and then sunk in the earth
near the roots of the strawberry, or to-
mato, or other plants. The pin-holes
are to be of such size that when the can
is filed with water the fluid can only
escape into the ground very slowly.
Thus quart can, properly arranged,
will extend its irrigation to the plant
through period of several days; the
can is then refilled. Practical trials of
this method of irrigation leave no doubt
of its success. Plants thus watered
flourish and yield the most bounteous
returns throughout the longest droughts.
In all warm localities, where water is
scarce, the planting of old fruit-csns, as
here indicated, will be found profitable
as regular gardening operation.
