A Boy Killed.-A colored boy named
Pid'' Banks, about years of age, was
almost instantly killed on Monday after
noon last. He with comrade were
playing near the Cumberland Valley
freight depot when wagon heavily
laden with lumber passed by. The de-
ceased bantered his companion to run
under the wagon, which offer was re-
fused, started to do so himself, when he
was in someway struck by the wagon
The owner, Mr.. Jere Kyle, as well as
several others who were with the team,
did not witness the accident nor were
they aware of it until some one called to
them when they stopped and went back.
The boy gasped three or four times and
died. The body was carried to the oil
house of the railroad company, where
it lay for some time, e,and was then taken
to his mothers residence. There was a
slight bruise on the back of the neck
and on the abdomen, and scratch on
his hand.
Coroner Ramsey was notified, came to
town and liz the evening held an in
quest. A jury was impanelled and rem
dered verdict of accidental death. -

Fire In Duncannon.-- On last Wednes-
day morning about o'clock fire was
discovered in p. +. Michner's wagon
maker shop on High street and before
o'clock the shop, blacksmith shop,
engine and Joseph ID. Hawley's dwell
ling house were in ashes. The fire was
under full headway before any assist
ance arrived, and the shop with all Its
contents was burned. Mr.. Hawley's
house standing near could not be saved
gine not being long enough to reach
from the river and there being no other
means of getting water. Nearly every
thing in the house was saved. The
residence of Mr.. Michner made a narrow
escape, as 1t was on fire several times,
but was saved by the use of buckets, as
were several other buildings. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but 1t Is
supposed to be the work of an incen-
diary, if it could be possible that such a
dastardly, low lived being could be in
our midst. No punishment could be
severe enough for such person. Mr.
Michner's loss is about 81 400; insured
81, 900. On opening the shop when the
fire was first discovered, it was found
that the shavings were scattered all over
the floor and set on fire in such way
as to make it impossible to save any
thing. Several wagons, buggies and
sleighs were burned. 1t was without
doubt an incendiary.-Rec

The Importance Of Cleansing Beds and
Pillows.

Two LITTLE children were almost
simultaneously attacked with canker
rash in its worst form. There had
been no cases in the vicinity for years,
and they had been kept entirely at
home for the whole winter, so there
was no possibility of their having
taken the disease from any outside
exposure to contagion. 1t was
mysterious Providence the clergyman
said when he was called to perform
the burial service. Afterward it was
ascertained that the mother had
bought feather-bed of q peddler a
few weeks before and used it on the
trundle-bed for her little ones to make
them q comfortable nest for the cold
weather. Upon further investigation
it was discovered that the peddler had
bought it at house some twenty-five
miles away, and that two children had
been sick and died of scarlatina upon
the same bed the year before. The
bed had been laid away in an open
chamber till the family sold out their
place to move away, and they sold the
bed to travelling peddler for q trifling
sum, thus distributing sickness and
death through a distant town, for the
disease spread in every direction and
became regular epidemic. Had that
bed. Immediately after the death of
the first children, been washed thor
oughly and soaked in wafer with
either little carbolic acid or spirits
of ammonia added to it, and then
dried in the sunshine, it would have
been safe to be used by any one; but,

as it was, it carried grief and desola-
ton into many households. Of course
it was not q premeditated wrong; it
was q case of ignorance or careless
ness.
Diphtheria has been conveyed by
using beds in the same manner, and.
if individuals would only consider for
q minute how much suffering might
be prevented, they would be more
careful. There is never an effect
without cause, but perhaps the cause
may not be discovered till too late to
prevent the evil. It is very little labor
to cleanse pillows and beds, if done in
a proper manner, and common sense
will show that it is advisable to have
it done often, even if no sick person
has lain upon them. A days exposure
to the hot sun-turning over and shak-
ing them up often-is q great benefit.
and makes them sweeter as well as
lighter. An occasional washing is a
sure purifier. Carbolic acid is pow
erful disinfectant, and it sweetens
beds, which will accumulate dis
agreeable odor if not thoroughly
cfeansed and aired. Pillows can be
washed without ripping SO that they
will be delightfully."- renovated. Use
suds in wash-tub to soak
them well, and then pass through
rinsing waters till the water is not
colored at all. This is all that is re-
quired unless they really smell badly.
In that case, either carbolic acid or
spirits of ammonia should be added to
the rinsing water. Let them drain
well, and then hang them where they
will get air and sunshine.-A Farmer s
Wife, in Country Gentleman.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

-Custard, with Frosting.-Yelks of
two eggs, well beaten, two tablespoon
fuls sugar, two-thirds pint rich milk or
cream, mix, and while baking whip the
whites, add a teaspoonful sugar; when
well done add the frosting and brown
lightly.
breakfast Cakes.-Prepare, the
day before it is wanted, some soft corn
meal mush; if too hard, thin with warm
water to the thickness of pancakes,
add graham flour, enough to make it
drop from q spoon; bake on buttered
pans. A good substitute for fried po-
tatoes.
Graham Pudding.-To three pints
of boiling water add one teaspoonful
salt. and stir in graham flour until you
have thin mush; have ready one well
beaten egg, stirred into one-third cup
cream, add this, boil few minutes,
mold in small saucers. Serve with
sugar and cream.
Two weeks ago thirty good.sized
shoats were quartered upon three acres
OF ground which is about equally seeded
to alfalfa and clover. At this writing
the grass has gained upon the pigs, and
the pigs have gained amazingly. This
is our way of solving the problem of
how to raise cheap pork.-Kansas Agri-
cultural College Paper.
TO make q cheap barometer, take
q long half-ounce vial, fill it with spir-
its Of wine, put in little finely pulver-
lied alum, and the instrument is made.
In dry weather the spirits will be clear,
and the coming of q storm will be indi-
Gated by spiral cloud rising in the
liquid, more or less rapidly, according
to the intensity of the storm.
Ice Cream-One quart of milk, the
yelks of four eggs, one large spoonful
OF flour stirred to smooth paste in a
little of the milk, and one pound of
sugar; scald until thick, taking care
not to let it burn. When cold, add one
quart of whipped cream and the beat
en- whites of four eggs; flavor to suit
the taste, and it is ready to be frozen.
-Grandma's Quick Cake.-Two
eggs, one cup sugar, one tablespoonful
butter, one-third cup milk or cream,
one cup -four, one heaping spoonful
baking powder, mix the baking pow
der in the flour, stir all together brisk
~ a few minutes, bake in two sheets in
a hot oven. This cake can be prepared
and ready for the table in twenty min
utes.
-Currant Jam-Pick free from stems
and leaves, wash. weigh and crush;
put into porcelain kettle and place
on the back of the stove where they
will gradually heat; then let boil twerl-
ty minutes and add sugar in the pro-
portion of three-fourths pound to a
pound of the fruit. Boil one half hour
longer, stirring. most of the time.
When done put into small jars or
glasses and either seal or secure like
jelly, with paper.
Chocolate Custard.-To one quart
of milk use one-fourth of a pound of
prepared chocolate; scrape the choco-
late and mix with cold milk to a thick
paste; boil fifteen minutes, adding
three tablespoonful of sugar, and
flavor to taste; then set away to
cool; beat five eggs smoothly. add to
the former mixture, and let it come to
a boil, stirring all the time; or, it may
be baked in cups; have your cups
stand in water while baking.

cheese is want of care. Any one who
will follow few simple rules need not
have fear of loss, no matter what may
be the experience of others. Cheese
in hot weather should be inspected
daily, and may at the same time be
turned to facilitate the curing process.
While handling, the bandages should
be carefully examined and the cheese
rubbed all over in order to remove
eggs which may have been deposited.
See that the bandages fit tightly, since,
as already stated, it is in the cracks
that eggs are first laid. All cracks
and checks may be filed up with par
ticles of crushed cheese made plastic
and applied and smoothed with q
knife. When this is accomplished q
strip of oiled paper should be placed
over the spot. While the work Of the
skipper may be avoided by curing
cheese in q darkened room, the prac-
tice is not advisable, as better flavor
is obtained by exposure to the light.
During some seasons the fly is much
more abundant than others. At such
times and in autumn extra precautions
should be taken. Especial care should
then be given to the tables and ranges
on which the cheese rests; wash these
with hot whey in order to remove all
grease and leave nothing to attract the
fly. The cheese may also be washed
with hot whey or with lye. If the lat
ter is used it will aid in repelling the
fly, which avoids alkai in depositing
her eggs. Either of these methods is
superior to the smearing of the cheese
with oil and pepper. If shippers have
gained an entrance, remove with knife,
or if the colony is young, place a
piece of oiled paper over the infected
spot SO as to exclude the air. This
will cause the shippers to come to the
surface, where they can from time to
time be removed until the cheese is
free.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE LITTLE GRAVE.

IT'S only little grave.' they said,
Only just a child that's dead;'
ana SO they cArelessly turned away .
From the mound the spade had made that
day;
All! they did not know how deep shade
That little grave in our home has made.
know the coffin was narrow and small; :,
One yard would have served for an ample pail;
away
The rosewood and its freight of clay;
But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin-lid.
know that a mother stood that day
With folded hands by that form of clay!
| know that burning tears were hid
Meath the dropping lash and aching lid;
And know her lip. and cheek. and brow,
Were almost as white as her baby now.
l know that some things were hid away,
The crimson frOck and wrnppings gay;
The little sock and half-wOrn shoe;
The cap with its plume and tassels blue:
And an empty CRIB. with its covers spread,
As white as the face of the guileless dead.
lis little grave: but oh! have care,
For many worldwide hopes are buried there;
And ye. perhaps, in coming years
May see. like her. through binding tears,
How much of light. how much of JOY,
Is buried up with my only boy.

Country Exercises for Boys.

81 DON'T want my boy" said a gen.
tleman recently, to go to fashion
able seaside resort, to dawdle about all
day and waste his evenings at hops and
dress parties, and thus come to think
these things the eatobject of a young
mans life. l want him to learn sill
sorts of manly outdoor sports, and so
am taking him with me to teach him
how to camp out, and fish, and rough
it like man.
"There is sound sense in this view
of boyish sports," says the Examiner.
sit is good for boys to be out in the
open air, where the sweet influences of
Nature, however unconscious they may
be of them at the time, will be sure to
impress themselves indelibly upon their
minds and hearts. And the kind of
physical exercise they get in fishing,
tramping through the woods, horse
back riding, swimming, archery, and
the hundred of other simple methods
of healthful outdoor sport, not only
hardens the muscles and broadens the
chest, but quickens the mind as no
amount of exercise under the direction
of professor of gymnastics can pos
sibly do" The Examiner thus pro-
ceeds:
parents who afford their growing
boys opportunities to enjoy these in
MIGRATING pastimes, and who, as far
as possible, take part with them in the
sport, do wisely. They are twice
blessed in doing it-they not only con-
fer happiness, but receive it; and re-
ceive it not only at the moment, but
in after years, as they see their boys
growing into strong, active young
men, with wholesome tastes and elias
tic spirits. Not many fathers are
able, to be sure, to spend six or eight
weeks in the woods with their boys;
but there are many sports that require
only moderate expenditure of time
and money, for the enjoyment of which
parents may at least furnish the proper
facilities. Every boy ought to learn
to swim. Every boy should know how
to manage horse. Either of these
may be of the utmost importance to
him at some time in his life. IF we
could reach the ear of every father in
the land, we would say, Don't fail to
give your boy chance to become q
manly young man, by providing him
with such advantages as you can at
ford for developing his muscles and
toning up his spirit, until he takes
pleasure in pastimes that will make
him strong in body and manly in tenn

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

IT'S told an Eastern monarch great
From triuu.phs won, returned in state,
And made a grand parade.
And at her latticed window high
To watch the gorgeous train pass by,
There sat a lovely maid.
Eager to see, she pressed the sash,
The slight frame broke with sudden crash,
Ana fell into the street.
A splinter struck a gallant knight.
He upward glanced; there met his sight
tie little maiden sweet.
She blushed he smiled; you know the rest
My tale YOU have already guessed;
The end of course is plain.
The maid, confused. drew back from view;
The knight passed on. amidst his crew.
They never met again.

Fall Manuring.

AM we'll convinced that barn ma
nure should be kept from spring until
fall and then spread on land intended
under in the fall. My reasons are:
First, the manure is much better pre-
pared for plant food than when used in
its green state. Second, the action of
frost and rains will decompose or pull
verize all the lumpy parts of the ma
nure, mixing it with the soil, and it
will readily become just what is needed
for the tender plants. Third, the soil
will dry some four to six days sooner
in the spring with manure in the soil
than without the fall application, con-
sequently an earlier season is the re-
suit. Fourth, vegetation is much bet
ter prepared to withstand drought
than when the manure is applied in
the spring, as the manure has ten
dency to make the soil porous and dry,
sometimes almost drying up the tender
plants. Fifth, fall manuring gives
more time for work in the spring,
which is of vast Importance, especially
in our climate. Sixth, in the fall the
fields and sward land is dry and hard,
teams in good condition, and we have
more leisure for doing this work than
we can expect to have in the spring.
Seventh, by fall manuring and blowing
we can reasonably expect from ten to
twenty per cent. better results on an
average of seasons than when green
manure is applied in the spring.
Eighth, in very dry seasons, when the
manure is applied in the hill especially,
or bountifully applied otherwise in the
spring, the benefit OF the manure for
that season is of trifing value to the
present crop. These are some of the
reasons why would apply manure in
the fall and pillow it under; and if our
farmers would adopt the practice as
above l have no doubt but good results
would follow.-C0r. Maine Farmer.

Reversed.
Remainder.

AsSAAoAANCAs lS5
He states the unit figure of the re-
mainder to be eight. You at once an
nounce the remainder to be one hun
dred and ninety-eight.
The trick may be varied by letting
the person tell you the hundred figure
of the remainder (if there is no hun
dred figure the remainder will be nine
ty-nine), or by giving him the choice
OF either the hundred or unit figure.
But the trick will not bear repeating
more than once, as it will soon be dis
covered that the middle figure is al
ways q nine.
The explanation is SIMPLE. A min
ute's reflection will show that the re-
mainder must always be a multiple of
ninety-nine, and that the middle figure
must be nine. 1t is a well known
property of the number nine that the
digits of any number divisible by nine
without remainder, will, when added
together, themselves make nine, or a
multiple of nine. The result of the
subtraction being divisible by nine
without q remainder and the middle
figure being a nine, the other two fig
ures added together must equal nine;
consequently If one of them is known
the other will evidently be the compile
ment of nine with this figure Baptist

The Cheese Skipper.

The most troublesome of the insects
affecting cheese is the well-known 'sskip-
per-" or larve of the cheese-fy (Ro-
phiia casei), which belongs to the order
Diptera. or winged insects, and the
family Muscide, in which are also
found the meat flies and house-flies.
So far as known, the female deposits
eggs upon cheese only, and is thus de-
pendent on the dairyman for perpetu-
alton. AS with the house-1y, this pest
does not become troublesome by ex-
cessive numbers until late in the grow
ing season, since comparatively few
perfect individuals survive the win.
ter; but as the summer advances they
multiply rapidly, and by the autumn
months the females are everywhere
ready to deposit eggs upon all exposed
cheese.
The fly is of shiny black color,
with transparent wings, and the four
posterior legs of a yellowish tinge. In
size it is less than half that of the
common house-fy. The eggs are laid
by preference in the cracks of the
cheese, but may be placed anywhere
upon it. They soon hatch and pro-
duce q whitish cylindrical maggot,
which attains, when full grown, q
length of about one-fifth of an inch.
This is the "skipper," its popular
name being due to its remarkable
leaping power. To effect the leap
the larva brings the under side of the
abdomen toward the head, taking its
tail in its mouth, and then suddenly
releasing it, springs into the air. often
to distance of three or four inches.
When full grown, the larva becomes
quiet, ceases feeding, and enters the
pupa state. The skin contracts length
wise, hardens and assumes mahogany
color and oval form, technically called
coarctate pupa." From the pupa
there emerge, ere long. the perfect
flies, which are ready in q few
days to lay eggs on any exposed
cheese, and 80 continue from brood to
brood. One cannot help admiring the
good taste of the female, which, if
possible, avoids all the skim-milk
cheese, and selects only that of prime
character. It is a fact that "skippery
cheese is, as rule, of superior quail
ity, but its inhabitants drive it from
the markets, as the demand for such
infested articles is light. The loss in
the cheese districts is mainly due to this
insect, and careful measures should be
taken from the first to secure the cheese
from harm.
The primary cause of skippery

An Arithmetical Trick.

AS FAR as we know, the following
pretty little arithmetical trick has never
been published:
Tell person to write down num-
Der consisting of any three dissimilar
digits. Tell him next to write down
the same digits in the reverse order,
and to subtract the lesser number from
the greater. He is then to state the
unit figure of the remainder, and you
at once tell him the whole of the re-
mainder.
The result will be as under. The
middle figure will always be a nine,
and the other two figures added to-
gether will always equal nine. Thus,
suppose he
