hall; looking UP we saw Sarah standing in
the door, her strange eyes flaming.
"Ah ha, Margaret McAffeel This Is your
Job, Is itI" he cried.
She darted back, but he was too quick for
her. He caught her by the wrists and drag
ged her Into the room; she fierce as tigrcss.
"Givo me the revolver, Fanny" ho said,
and In an instant Sarah was quiet as lamb.
"Please 80 down and ask the driver to
como up with some straps"
| did as he directed me.
The driver came up presently with sever
nj straps, quito sufficient TO secure Sarah.
Then the sofa was drawn away, the closet
door unlocked and the man inside made to
step out. When he saw his wife secured
thero in the room he took IL coolly, and
smiled Mt hcr-she was crying bitterly
"They've got us dead TO rights, Mag; so
don't make n fuss over It,"
Then ho, too, was secured, and the driver
ran out for policeman.
While we were there guarding our rprison-
ers the bell rang and father came; so that
when tho officers came there was consid-
cradle gathering. Then they took tho pris-
oners away.
"And how about tho ball, FAM Good
ness, little girl, how white you areW said
her father.
That is all l remember OF II. Half nm ho,'f
later the first consciousness revealed tie
fact that some one was kissing my forhead,
and chatting my hands in strange, tender
way. 1t was not father, FOR he came in q
moment afterward, with Mary just behind
him, her hands full OF restorativos. They
were not needed.
" 1t is too bad to spoil your pleasure, Mr..
Goodwin, and It is not too late yet for you to
go to the ball"
Without your" he asked sharply.
"Wby, yes; should only have my head
full Of burglars and pistols. Istill feel like
shooting"
pointed them to the bullct-hole In the
closet door, and there was q little surprise.

"If you feel able to go, and will go, / shall
be so much gratified at having your COM
pany," said Mr.. Goodwin. "Will you not
goYo
Yes, go, II you care to-" said father,
laughing, "Mary and will stand guard"

seemed too short. Yet, shall never forget

slowing upon poor simple mo the priceless

HOuse.Cleaning.

Mr.. GALLAGHER had tough time OF
it the other night when he went home
late. Unknown to him the women folks
had begun siege at house-cleaning and
had got about two dozen chairs set in a
row in the front hall. When he came
in he found no gas burning, and not
seeing the chairs, tumbled over the first
one. He made some remark in disap-
proval of the conduct of the person who
left the chair in his way, and moving
the chair, started ahead again. Over
the next chair he went. We'll, con-
found the fool who left these chairs
here!" he said, as he rubbed his shin
and moved that chair. He was sure he
was all right then, and once more start
ed ahead. That time he scraped about
two inches of hide off his leg, and was
mighty mad. He, however, moved the
chair and then tried again tos ad-
vance. AS he struck the next chair and
fell over it, heels over head, he swore
bitterly, and rising put the chair aside
with kick which hurt him more than
il did the chair. By the time he had
struggled with three more chairs, he
was rhving like mailman. When ne
CdIlC W lOChtl, III Ills IdSt lc
grabbed it up to throw it, and one rock
er raked his left ear while the other hit
his jaw and .loosened two teeth. Then
he struggled with six more chairs, and
finally got hold of a reclining chair, and
hurt his fingers in the machinery. That
discouraged him, and he turned to work
his way back to the door. But the
chairs he had left in his wake, upset in
all ways, were worse than those ahead,
and he fell over them, raped his shins
against the ends of legs, and when he
went down, as he did about as quickly
as he got up, he was sure to skin him
self in five or six places, bump his head
and wrench his spine. He had got him
self so surrounded by upset chairs that
whichever way he turned, he raped
and scraped himself, and finally, when
the family was aroused and came with
lights, he had got himself SO entangled
in the rocker and reclining chair and
two or three other chairs that he had to
be helped out. And the rest of the
night he spent fixing himself up with
court-plaster and swearing great oaths,
and the next time his wife is going to
clean house he is to be notified in time to
let him go 800 miles into the country

Property Rights Of Husband and wife.

a husband who cut up his wife's sew
ing-machine and two shawls with his
little hatchet was recently tried before
the Court OF Quarter Sessions of Mercer
County, New Jersey, upon an indict-
ment charging him with the malicious
destruction OF the goods and chattels
aforesaid. The sewing-machine was
paid for out OF his own earnings entire
ly, but the wife contributed something
toward the price of the shawls. The
property TO whichthe statute Is in terms
applicable must be that OF some other
person than the destroyer, so it was
clear that the defendant was not liable
rs far rs the sewing-machine was con-
ccrned; but there was q question as to
the shawls, inasmuch as they cartainly
belonged TO the wife in part The hus-
band was convicted, but Judgment was
subsequently arrested by the Court,
and he was discharged on the ground
that the shawls were not the property
of al any other persons" within the
meaning of the statute. This decision
logically follows the prevailing doctrine
in this country that the unity of hus-
band and wife is not destroyed by the
married woman's acts to such an ex-
tent as to render either chargeable with
larceny fortaking the separate property
of the other. All the unity that exists,
however. ina family where the husbsnd
breaks up the sewng-machine with a
hatchet, must be such as is implied by
the law; and though it seems rather a
severe repressive measure to try to send
him to the penitentiary, the wife in this
case appears to have preferred that
course instead of the moral suasion
which we should recommend to partic.
ipants in these little encounters. .-New

How tho Maine "Jumpers Perform.

MANY strange things are done by these
Jumpers. One of those whom 1 exper-
imented with came very near cutting his
throat the day before reached the lake.
de was shaving, and the door slammed
suddenly behind him; he jumped, and,
had the razor been held in different
way, he might have inflicted severe
wound. One of these Jumpers being
surprised by an order to "strike," while
standing before q window, struck his fist
right through the glass, cutting it Sc
verely. These Jumpers have been known
to strike their fists against q red-h
stove; they have been known to jump
into the fire, as well as into water; in
deed, no painfulness or peril of position
has any effect on them; they are as
powerless as apoplectics or Mysteries, il
not more so; the absolute victims of the
orders that are given them, or of the
surprises that are played upon them,
they must do as they are told, though
it kill them, or though it kill others. !
can find no evidence that the presence
the slightest degree, with the motions
which they are compelled to make. As
has been made apparent by the above
description, it is not necessary that
the surprises should come from any
human being; it is not necessary that
they should be ordered to strike
or jump; any sound, from any
source, that comes upon them with
sufficient severity and suddenness, for
which they are not forewarned and fore.
armed, may cause them to jump and to
cry. One of those on whom L expert
mented told me that the falling of tree
in the woods, when unexpected, would
have the same effect upon him. He
said that one time he was so alarmed by
the sudden crash of tree that he not
only jumped, but was perfectly en-
tranced, so that he could not move, al
though the tree did not fall upon him.
The explosion of a gun or pistol is al
most sure TO excite these Jumpers. The
screech of steam-whistle is especially
obnoxious TO them, few of them, so far
as / have been able to learn, having
been able to withstand it. On one OF
the lake steamers in which / returned
from the hotel, there was Jumper
who, when the screech was heard,
jumped right up, SO that he nearly hit
his head on the upper deck. As the
steamer neared the landing and came to
place where he knew the whistle
would sound again, he was warned to
prepare himself, and he did so with such
success that ON the first screech he
jumped scarcely any; on the second,
however, despite his care, he raised his
shoulders perceptibly, but did not
jump.-Dr. George M. Beard, in Popular
Science Monthly.

Small Herms.

ONE of the most encouraging signs of
halter times in Georgia is the change
gradually going on from planting to
tarming, and the conversion of large
plantations into small farms which ac-
companies it. The State Commissioner
sf Agriculture says that "there are
farms in Georgia now as there were five
years ago." and many counties are cited
where farms as small as 10, 20 and 80
acres are common. In Oglethorpe
County there are four times as many
farms of 100 acres as there were in 1870,
and there is steady demand for land
from persons who gradually accumulate
money TO buy with. The large land
owners are fayoring the change because
they find that it is to their interest A
few years ago, one gentleman bought
400 acres of land for 700 and rented
it out to a tenant. 1t proved too large
for one man and the owner divided 1t
In two farms. These were still too
large and the tract was divided in six
farms, each with family-on it, and it
is found that one farmer makes more on
70 acres than the first tenant made on
the whole 400 The tenants have earned
and saved enough money to buy farms
of their own, and the proprietor must
either sell them the places they live on
or they win 60 elsewhere and buy.
The general advantage to a commu-
nifty Of small farms over large ones is
exhibited in more ways than one. Not
only does 1t insure better cultivation and
o larger yield from the same amount OF
land, but it invites immigration, multi
plies the number of tax-paying farmers,
enhances the value of land, and materi-
ally reduces the class of shiftless renters
unattached TO the soil, who have little
interest In the general welfare of the
community. There is not a Southern
State that would not be largely benefited
by the change that is going ON in GeoIs
gia.-St. Louis Republican.
