SWEET SIXTEEN GETS MARRIED.
IN LIFE ON SMALL CAPITAL.
Louise Kempf a comely young Ger
man girl, sixteen years old, and tall for
her age, with light brown hair and blue
eyes, quilted her fathers house one Sun
day morning, saying she was going to
church. About the same time Frank j.
Horiger boy of sixteen, whose parents
Give over the way" went out, saying he
was going to church. Neither of the
young people returned TO their home aft
er church, and it was learned they had
not been there. After looking anXiously
all day for them, the parents became
greatly alarmed The families were not
acquainted but it was known to the
members of both that Frank and Louise
had been friends at school in Second
street. After the families had compared
notes, the conclusion was reached that
the boy and girl had eloped. 1t was
found that the girl, while she had taker

sisted of navy blue suit, dark hat, anC
ring set with amethyst, had appropriated
two twenty-dollar gold pieces which be
longed to her sister. The boy had thirty
five cents and the clothes he wore
dark suit, Derby hat and eyeglasses.
Nothing that either had said previou
to their departure gave any clew to thel
destination, except that the girl ha
limited to friend that she might live i
Hoboken after time. She had been OF
served by her mother and sister to b
somewhat down-hearted for several day
before she disappeared.
The acquaintance of the young peop
had existed four months. Horiger ha
never been at Louise's home, and hi
family only knew him by seeing him G
the street.-N. Y. Sun.

Public Baths.

A mission school in Philadelphia has
in its basement large baUhing and SWIM
ming department. There are four great
tubs, in which the dirty little children
are free to cleanse themselves and to
take aquatic exercise, under prescribed
regulations. Each tub accommodates
nearly two dozen children at time
The surrounding floors and walls are OF
brick and concrete, so that no restriction
is put on splashing. A man with small
whip in his hands stands by during bath
ing hours ready to castigate any OF the
young persons who are unruly or violent.
To their credit it must be said that he is
seldom compelled to use it. The rule is
that no child shall be allowed to enter
the bath more than once day. Many
of the boys dodge this rule by exchang-
ing clothes and presenting themselves
in such combinations of costume that th'
man with the whip does not recognize
them,

FRIDAY, JULY 80, 1880.

"Out you come" roared the blushing
station-master IN a paroxysm of indig-
nation, and he clutched Mr.. Chucker by
the wrist.
"Well, but but - let me d-dress
first" pleaded the victim, as he felt not
only his arms but his legs in the grasp of
different hands. He made a short strug-
gle, but this did not improve his posi-
tion, for his resistance was ascribed to
maniacal outbreak, and emboldened his
aggressors to drag him out of the car
heap, and was carried across the plat
form, kicking and roaring, in sight of a
hundred pairs of astonished or amused
eyes. "Oh!" exclaimed some redden-
ing young ladies, as he passed.
"Poor mani" cried some older ones.
"Hi! Fetch the police" chorused
some of the pOrters.
Ten minutes later, when Mr.. Chuck
er had been conveyed under strong es-
cort to the station-master's room, and
had been suffered to don his pantaloons,
he contrived to get hearing, and to ex-
plain how all his trouble had arisen.
"Well, but why didn't you tell this
beforeP" cried the station-master.
Because you wouldn't listen to me,
screamed Mr.. Chucker.
"Well, you've missed your train ant
your dinner, anyhow" said. the station
master, land that'll be lesson to you.

The Indian Idea of Lightning.

A fort Bulord, D. T., correspondent OF
the Bismarck Tribune says:
The Indians h I'VE some peculiar beileis.
During the thunder storm last Sunday a
sduaw and papoose were killed by llgnt-
ming. 1t seemed impossible to get the
warriors near the corpses, one OF them
actually running away from the vicinity
they had some theory for this, saying
that the bodies now contained ghost or
bad spirit, and they were afraid OF them
They also remarked that it was all the
fault of the whites-a philosophy to them
doubtless of much weight, as were the
whites not here, the two women would
not have been on their way to the garrl-
son looking tor food. The usual mutlla-
ton of limbs on the part OF living
relatives followed the catastrophe, and
each morning ut an early hour themother
of the dead squaw may be seen at tlie
cemetery moaning over the daughter

The benevolent Terrier.

There Is terrier in a cafe, Rue st.
1onore, that no sooner sees an habitual Gus
toner enter than he runs up to the new
conner, opens his mouth, and looks implor-
ingly at the customer. The latter so well
understands the pantomine that he puts n
sou In the open mouth. The terrier bounds
to the door, and in an instant is at the
nearest pastry cooks. The latter gives the
dog cake, which the latter brings to his
Denefactor, who breaks the cake into three
pieces. One is forthwith given to the terrier;
the dog, having eaten it, stands on his hind
legs, lets the customer put the second piece
on his Cthe Dogs nose, let's it stay there
untouched until the gentleman raps ten
times on the table; at the tenth rap the tel =
rier losses the cake in the air and catches
1t before it falls to the floor The gentle
man then takes the third piece of cake i'm
his hand and says: "Billy, you have eaten
two of the three pieces of cake There are
thousands of dogs in Paris VIII have never
tasted piece of cake. Now, Billy, if you
be gentleman-and believe you are a
gentleman, Billy-you will take this third
piece of cake and lay it in the street for
dogs that are not as well off liz this world

piece of cake in his mouth, carries 1t to the

Destroyers of Carpets.

Careful house keepers are often dismay-
ed at the Wholesale destruction which their
best carpets have suffered, through the de-
precautions of some insect pests, and as
usual the injury will be attributed TO the
well-known domestic scourge, the clothes
moth. But it may be of interest to some
To know that an insect of quite a different
order, and far more destructive, is fostered

amined during the winter and spring, a
number OF small beetles may often be found

discovery IN this country is of recent date,

dreaded for its destructiveness Owners

months, at which time the insect is in the

It's presence is often unsHspected. The

are clothed with shortly bristly hairs, some
what longer mt the sides where they form
small tufts, and are terminated at the
hinder end by tuft OF longer hair, making
them appear nearly three-eights OF an inch
long. When they are disturbed they are
active and glide very quickly away into

know that this pest is rapidly increasing.

AGRICULTURE.

GOOD RoADs.--There Is a decided in
crease in the selling value of farms
which always have good and level
road TO market. / do not believe the
Importance of having good roals Is APP
preciated as it should and will be. but
there Is already an understanding on
this subject which makes intelligent
road Improvement profitable. AS a
rule, most of the work annually nut
upon country highways is wasted.
Consciousness of this fact Is one reason
why such work is generally shirkcd as
far as possible. Most men will not
work at their road tax as they do on
their farms for themselves. If they
could know that their work on the road
was as directly tor their own benefit
as that which they do in every day
farm work, this would not be so. To
have men engage earnestly In road
making, 1t must be shown that their
labors are producing good results. AS
IL 10 now, very often the harder men
work the worse will be the roads. The
severe winters and superabundant
rains and SHOWS of our northern cli-
mate, make the keeping of roads I'm re-
pair extremely difficnlt. We have
hardly begun TO appreciate the import
ance of underdT aiming to keen roads I'm
good order. 1t is, on all heavy soils.
the first thing to be done. In neigh
borhoods where farmers underdrain
their land, the roads are much better
than where they do not. Very often
the drain crosses the road, and always
at point where 1t will be most advan-
tageous. With an underdrain three feet
deep crossing road, and usually i'm a
depression, 1t should be easy to keep n
long stretch of road always dry. This
Is the place to put In n piece of maca-
dam turnpike-two or three LAYERS of
stone lightly covered with eaarth and
gravel. The macadam turnpike is real
lily thoroughly drained roadbed when
Is perfect. The reason why it so
often fails because in many places there
Is no outlet to the drain. The water
runs under the road to some depression.
and there lies until winter frosts have
lifted the stones from their foundation
and left the road quagmire as soon as
the spring came. III the macadam road
bed is connected with an underdrain IL
will obviate this trouble and make A
hrm permanent road-bed Piling loose
earth and sods in the centre of the road
may be somewhat better than leaving
the surface level. But if the soil is
vegetable matter, sods and the like, the
more it Is piled up, the worse the road
bed will surely be. Nothing will do
any good except to first remove surplus
water by stone or tile underdrains.
When this is done, it is surprising how
little stone or gravel is needed. l am
glad that road makers are learning to
use more gravel; but in thousands of
places drawing gravel TO throw on an
undrained turnpike is nearly a waste
of labor.
