Never Been k1ay From HOME.

A ride of an hour over roads not of the
best brought a Times representative to
the little village of Norton, \. j. Nor
ton contains remarkable family. In the
doorway of q small lOw-rOOfed dwelling
stood tall, well-preserved woman. Il
am looking for a woman eighty-four
years old. who has raised twcnty-foUr
children and is still in vigorous health,
was the first query. Il suppose YOU re-
fer to me- she said. Il am of that age
She was apparently ENJOYING the best
of health. In all her long life she bad
never been sick but one dav. Brought
up on n farm and Injured to the rough
work incident to farm life this woman
had reared the extraordinary large fam
lily of twenty-foT children, twenty of
whom are still alive. The oldest is sixty
five and resides on a cleanlv-kept farm a
mile or two distant from the homestead.
The Youngest is thirty. and is engaged
in grape culture at HammondSport, n.
Y. The entire twenty children are in
splendid health. OF the four who are
dead three met their death by accident,
while the fourth died of yellow fever in
Memphis two years ago. The mother
still does all the hOusework milkS four
cows daily and takes the produce tomar-
ket. She is the financier of the family,
and declares that she needs no lawyers
to keep her affairs in order. Every Sab
bath finds all quiet about the farm, and
every member of the circle is required
to attend the quaint old Methodist church
morning and evening.

mo, sir, he died five years ago"
"Who is the man then of whom it is

and yet cuts two cords of wood every
day?''
''O,n said she, as a smile lit up her
face, ''that must be brother Jake. He's
outyonder choPping away for dear life"
The visitor went "Out vOnder." and
sure enough a tall, strongly built man,
with white locks streaming over his
shoulders, was bending over a wood
pile and welding an AK in 4 manner
betokening no lack of vigor. His four
score years have all been spent within a
radius of twenty-five miles. He had
never been outside of Hunterdon County.

"SueceSs With Small Fruits"

Formerly the blackberry was regarded
as merely a bramble in this country. 1t
is still quite generally SO regarded. When
a man gets to thinking it Is not a BRAN
bic, all he has to do is to 90 waltzing
around in . healthy patch, with nothing
on him but a cotton shirt and a pair OF
tow trousers and he viii come out re-
| stored to the faith of his fathers. The
| greatest enemy the blackberry has is
BOYS. Five BOYS from town can eat more
green blackberries in q day than would
ripen in a week. For many years the
great desideratum has been ahardy berry
that could resist the premature onslaught
of boys from town. 1t is a great deSider-
alum still. The Schneider, n variety
that was invented by an Iowa hOrticUlt-
urist, is the nearest approach t0it tits
bred from q perfectly green perSimmOn,
crossed with 4 dogwoOd-tree, and still
! further propagated with a hybrid of
| wormwood-bush and crab-apple. 1t is
not a perfect defense, but there are very
few bows who care to eat more than a
quart of them. Nobody else. however,
can 90 past the field where the Schneider
is growing without being attacked by
Asiatic cholera, and this tends to weaken
the partial success this hardy berry has
achieved. Then there is a BUG I do not
know the name of it-that crawls over
the berries now and then. When YOU
eat a berry that has been glorilied by a
visit from this bug, you lie down in the
briers and pray Heaven to take you home
in Just about three seconds. And, if YOU
live, YOU can wake up in the night, along
in the middle of the next winter, and
shudder as you taste of that berry.
When your blackberries grow too thick
". YOU will want To thin them out. To
this end you must kill some of them.
This can be done by digging well where
the plant stands; then turn the farm up
side down and let it dry out thoroughly
for a couple of years; then turn it over,
upside down, and start a brick-yard on
the back of it. This will kill offsome of
the plants. There may be some shorter
and cheaper methOd Of killing blackberry
bushes than this, but | never heard oft,
and it isn't likely that there is any.
If YOU want to devote about forty acres
of ground to the cultivation of black
berries, plant about three healthy vines
in some corner of the field, about the
1st of April. Then, about the 1st of
May, the man who owns the farm on the
other side of the road will bring civil
action against you, and try to collect
damages for destruction of his two fields
of wheat by raid of blackberry vines.
1t is not known just at what season of
the year blackberries ripen. The black
the hucksters and boys should all die in
June, tits probable that the berries would
ripen some time in July or August. But
they have never had chance to see what
they could do at ripening.
The blackberry is so named because it
is blue, in order to distinguish it from
the blueberry, which is black.-BurliRg-
ton HalC5-Eyc.

Printing a Newspaper Under Difficulties.

The HiR Of he People is the title of the
organ of the NihilistS in Russia 1t APP
pears in the most extraordinary way in
unexpected corners and when least look
ed for. They say it is constantly to be
found on the toilet table of the Emperor
and under the pillows OF statesmen and
Generals. The manner in which this
curious organ is printed is described at
length by the st. Petersburg correspond
ent of the Manchester GUdrlian. The
office is gloomy, miserable room at the
top of house in poor locality. On
the door Is an announcement of some
fictitious trade. The room is occupied
by poor wretch, formerly a student: it
is wretchedIy furnished. The bed occu-
pies pretty nearly the entire room.
Everything is mean and squalid. The
owner of the apartment is editor, COM
positor, reporter, printer and publisher.
Under the mattress of the miserable bed
the type is hidden. Thence, when Oc-
casion offers, it is transferred to the
multitudinous pockets of his great coat.
HegOes out into the streets with diminu-
tive note book, hangs about public build
incs, glares at people in authority, whom
he would kill if glance could murder,
writes his "leaders" in secluded
corner of park, and rolls each page
into a pin to be swallowed on the ap-
proach Of a policeman. As soon as the
work is finished he steals home, locks
and bar-icades the door, gets out his
type and sets up the paper, which he
afterwards prints in primitive manner,
and distributes through the streets, and
in cafes, and by all other means known
to cOnSpiratOrs. This account Of the
difficult, dangerous and painful duty
which that poor patient scribe performs
under the direction of an incXorable
committee. from whom he receives little
help. may or may not be in accordance
with truth; but there remains the unde-
niable fact that under the very nose Of
the terrible Third Section, despite all
the vigilance of the police. a sheet :
priared, published and circulated, and
no man can put his hand upon those
who thus contribute to the literature of

the utterancCS and addresses of Mayor kal-
lOch, and to report what, if any, ncendiary
language he has publicly used, and to report

history OF the labor agitation and the part
borne in II by kalluCh, and finding that he has
encouraged the lawlcsS and diScUnt emtCd Gle
ment, advised them to parade the streets,
and cndeaVOred TO keep them in such dis
position and temperament rs to commit
an outbreak whenever it should suit
his purposes; that he has impcachcd the hon
cSty of the whole community, accused various
branches If the City Government of cOrrup-
ton and dcreliction of duty, and, under the
pTetenSe OF cOun>ciing the mob against ViO-
lcnCe insdiOusy advised them to lie in rcadi-
ness for blOUdshcd and the overthrow of the
authorities. They expressed the opinion that
hallOch Is inscriptions and unpriuCiplCd. and
devoid Of integrity and fidelity TO the public
interests, and that the time has arrived for
the Board to express its condemnation of his
acts, and recommend that prompt action be
taken TO Yindicatc the fair fame of the NUM-
cpality by judicial inquiry into kallOch's
case.
The motion to adopt the report was put by
Mayor kalloch, who announced that it was
carried.
\ resolution was then adopted authorizing
the committee TO cause Judicial proceedings
