every day in the year has little or moth
ing to say. The man who rides once
makes all the fuss. He thinks that the
president of the railroad, accompanied
by brass band, ought to be on hand
to see him off, to select a seat for his
bandbox, another for his feet and anoth-
er for his dog. When he gets off his
train near three-dollar boarding house
in the country, he shakes his fist at the
departing engineer, says that he will
have that engineer bounced off the
road as soon as Jay Gould, Hugh jew
EFT or Tom Scott returns, and, turning
his ffty-cent hat on the side of his head
so that all the country girls may be
entirely "smashed' on him, he buttons
a buster around his ten-dollar suit OF
clothes for fear it may get dusty, and
then strides off to the post-Office, where
he asks for letters that he knows will
never come. After that he walks to the
boarding house and asks the cook if
there is "any slam-bang shooting in
the neighborhood for man who is aw-
full with a gum"

N. G.. Wadleigh, resident of Wells,

The committee appointed by the

A swell wedding which was to have
taken place soon at the South end, Bos-
ton, has been indefinitely postponed,
the expected bridegroom, John Worth
Jordan, proving to be married man.
He kept his wife and daughter out of
sight, it seems, sending them to Wash
lngton to live part of the time, dressed
IN faultless attire, and boarded at the
st. James hotel. Representing that he
was a lieutenant in the navy, he court
ed and won a young woman of good
family, worth 100000 in her own
right. The appearance of his wife and
child on the scene last week spoiled his
plans.

able and honorable men have appeared

A Great and Rapid Fall.

1t is not often that changes are more
marked than took place in the career
of a man who died a convicted burglar
in the penitentiary hospital at Black
wells Island early in the present month.
The burglar was none other than Baron
Hermann de Reiffenberg, native of
Brussels, Belgium, who came to this
country fifteen years ago, in the prime
of life, with plenty of money, leaving
large estates behind him. For three
years he lived like prince. Then he
married woman named Annie Sweeny,
to whom he confided the facts about his
early career. Soon after his marriage
word came that his property in Belgi-
UNI was exhausted. The Baron then
began to lose control of himself, and
finally became the victim of prOtract-
ed spree, during which his wife and
child were compelled to beg their
bread. The baron fell lower yet and
lived in the streets on the verge of star
walton. Thus he took up the role of a
criminal, growing holder and holder in
his depredations until he was arrested
last June for petty burglary. His wife
was the only one in the country who
knew that he belonged to one of the
wealthiest families in Brussels, and had
lived apart from him so long that she
only knew of his whereabouts when she
read the news of his death in the morn
ing paper.

Encouraging the Saving of Littles.

Mr.. Fawcett, the postmaster-g general
of Great Britain, has hit upon a very
clever device for the purpose of saving
money among the lower classes. The
government now issues at its various
post offices an official strip of paper,
having upon it places for twelve post
age stamps to be stuck. The possessor,
man, woman, or child, can whenever
he has a spare penny buy stamp and
stick it upon the slip. When the slip is
full, that is when twelve stamps have
been glued on, the holder can, by TAX
ing the slip to the post Office, get a saw
ings bank receipt for a shilling, which
is the minimum deposit that the post
Office savings bank will take. 1t will
be seen that this brings the advantages
of the government savings bank plan
within the reach of a large number
particularly children-who would re-
ceive no benefit from it. In England,
much more than in this country, a shil-
ling represents quite sum of money,
and there are many who could make
up the amount by fractional payments
much easier than by one effort.

Barrelling Apples.

Nothing is gained by the frauds that
are attempted to be practised in the
popular way of barrelling apples-nice,
fair ones at each end of the barrel, and
knotty and small and Indifferent ones
in the middle. 1t has been practised
so long that no one expects anything
else. But if some one would put up
honest barrels of apples, by sorting and
carefully selecting, in few years, by
branding, any fruit-grower could es-
tablish such reputation that his ap-
pies would command double price. The
present way has become too thin a
fraud to be longer practised by any
good man. The right way is to care
fully sort those uniform in size and
quality, and place in clean, new bar
rels carefully by hand; begin packing
by placing tier of apples with their
ends to the closed head of the barrel.
then fill up without bruising the fruit ;
shake down thoroughly, and fill the
barrel so full that the head must be
pressed in with lever, fattening the
last tier of apples. The fruit must be
pressed so firmly that it will not move
IN handling. After heading up, place
the barrel in some cool, shaded posi-
ton, there to remain until in danger OF
freezing; finally remove to dry cellar
or fruit room, where temperature just
above freezing is maintained. Packed
IN this manner apples will keep sound
ly until the season of ripening arrives
when they should be consumed.-Io,rd
