Domestic Life in Pennsylvania.

There is a good deal of romance to
the acre in the farming lands near
Wilkesbarre. A middle aged rustic,
who had been smitten with the charms
of saloon keepers wife, recently bought
out the husbands rights for SIS in hand
paid, receiving bill of sale and quit
claim deed. Hot drinks were ordered
all around, dinner was served, and the
farmer drove the whole party home.
Not long afterward the woman who had
been sold went riding three times with
a physician, and the farmer demanded
back his money. She had no money in
her house, but there was a two year old
colt in the barn, and so she told the
farmer to take the colt and j." call it
square. The farmer tied the colt to
his sleigh and drove briskly to his lone.
some hearth. Meanwhile, the husband
who had sold his wife made love to his
neighbours daughter and run away with
her to New York. The doctor now
goes out riding with the former owner of
the colt; the farmer wears his old clothes
and never shaves; and the saloon keeper
and his fugitive bride have vanished
from the sight of all gossips.

WHY She Refused the Cake.

The Princess Louise is exceedingly in
terested in church work in Sunday
schools and in schemes for the relief and
comfort of the poor. She recently en-
tertained at Rideau hall all the teachers
and pupils of the Sunday school con-
nected with the church which she at.
tends. The servants were dismissed and
the hungry children were served by the
princess, the marquis and their suite.
Addressing pretty little girl the prin-
cess asked her if she would not take more
cake. The little guest declined with
awe, and her hostess, fearing that bash
fulness was standing in the way, pressed
her again. Again she declined. Her
highness, struck by the sweet modesty
and child.like simplicity of the pretty
creature, cut large slice from the cake
and said; "Well, my dear, you must, at
least, take this home as a present from
me; let me put it in your pocket" The
child hesitated, blushed, and exhibited
d decided unwillingness to '.acce pit the
profered gift. And the more unwilling
she seemed, the more charmed the prin-
cess became with her innocent look and
blushiDg difidence. Using a gentle
force she, found, the pocket of the young
visitor, when 10, to her infinite astonish-
ment, she discovered that it was already
filled to ,overhowing with cake which
this bland little heather Chinee had

A Frozen Trout Fishery.

The recent cold weather destroyed the
trout fishery of /. G. Frazier, between
Truckee and Lake Tahoe. The trout
require fresh running water, and when
the supply is cut off it is impossible for
them to survive more than two or three
days. Tuesday night the temperature
was "a degrees below zero. Solid ice
filled the bitches from the reservoir to
the fish ponds. Ice covered the various
ponds to a great depth, and all the
on tlets were choked with massive cakes
of ice. Not drop of fresh water could
reach the imprisoned fish. When holes
were cut iii the surface of the ponds the
large beautiful trout would leap clear
out of the water in their efforts to get
the oxygen which: the water lacked.
The fishery was the finest one on the
Sierra Nevadas ~ ruckee Republican.

Another Story Of Caleb Cushing

Another Story Of Caleb Cushing.
Concerning Caleb Cushing it is
chronicled that when first as an am
bilious young lawyer he entered the
Massachusetts legislature, he was eager
to exhibit his ability in speeches. One
day he deliberately ridiculed another
member, a rough, uncultivated, dog
matte old farmer, to whose quaintness
members generally were disposed to
defer. The old gentleman was amazed
and angry. at Cushing's attack, but kept
his seat until the young man got through.
Then he rose, walked over to Gushing,
shook his hand in lis face, and said :
"What do you mean, young man, by
abusing me in this way? If you cont
look out, we won't have you here,
speaking your piecesP' These last three
words were so palpable a hit upon Mr..
Cushing's oratorical style, they were
spoken so CONTEMPORARY, that the
whole house laughed and the old farmers
triumph was complete.

"A kLbcK made entirely ~ bread Ids
lately been received in Milan, Italy,
from Peru. It was constructed by an
Indian, who, having no means of pur-
chasing material, saved portion of the
soft part of his daily bread for the pur.
pose. He solidified it with a certain
salt which rendered it very hard and
insoluble in water. The clock keeps
good time, and the case, also of hardened
bread, displays artistic talent.
