Three Boys Hanged.

Bad boys need not 60 west IN order to
find adventure, commit crime and swing
into the next world from gallows tree
Two Chicago boys, aged respectively
seventeen and nineteen years, started a
year ago for the East in search of adj
venture, and they found it before half
way here by killing an old man for his
money. Then, instead of becoming
tremendous fellows among other hard
characters, as boys in books always do
when they have killed their man, they
spent year in Jail, and were strangled
on the gallows. Another boy, younger
than either, left the world in company
with the couple He began his business
career by stealing, and when compan-
ion threatened to tell he shot him. No
member of the trio was old enough to be
trusted away from apron strings, and
other boys who are painting to distinguish
themselves in blood and thunder style
would do well to take the hint. An
apron string in boys buttonhole is not
half so annoying as a stout rope around
his neck and when finally united it leaves
him fit for something better than to hor-
rify newspaper readers and feed the

A Base Deception.

Nothing but our unShakabie determl.
nation to expose fraud in important
places induces US to forego our native
gallantry sufficiently to relate the par
ticulars of the following gloomy catas
trophe: 1t seems that, not content with
fraudulent appeals to the sympathies of
mankind by means of 'palpitators" and
false calves, the ladies have recently in
troduced still more insidious delusion
viz, what are known to molistes as
patent indiarubber infatable hips. A
Young lady-who was doubtless driven
to this artificial reliance 10y stern neces-
sity, however-recently attended large
dinner party on Van Ness Avenue
After the meal the company retired to
the library, and the young lady was
handed to seat by the host. Now, in
this very chair small boy of the family
had placed bent pin in readiness for
his French tutor. When the young
lady sat down sound ensued, which
caused every person in the room to blush
with embarrassment. The victim her.
self remained paralyzed with horror as
the Hogarthian curves of her symmetri-
cal figure vanished like the baseless
fabric of vision Then she tainted,
and was sent home in a hack. Life is
full-ah, too full-of these unforeseen
celamities and bitter retrospection-is it
not, dear reader, is it not ?
And while we are about it, we might
as well publish another terrible warning
to those who venture too far in their
endeavors to repair the little omissions
of nature. There is q certain majesti-
cally voluptuous matron living at one of
our fashionable hotels, who strives to
restrain the superfuous fifty pounds of
matured loneliness with which too gen.
erous nature has inconvenience her by
means of a chamois skin bodice, which
she buckles on with terrible pressure
when preparing to sally forth in the full
war paint of society.
Very well.
At the famous Grant reception given
at Belmont, this lady was dancing the
opening quadrille with Boston scientist
Just arrived. AS the gentleman left her
for moment in one of the figures she
heard an ominous rip, and the bodice
alluded to split from bottom to top, and
the waist of her dress shriveled up under
her arms as, what in an Alderman we
would call her Corporation" took its
proper amplitude. Just after this oc-
Cured the gentleman returned to "swing
partners" AS he did so he became
vaguely conscious that something was
wrong, and so put up his eye-glass.
"Ah, see, Mrs. Blank, he said; "your
aaVgaEei il her ' place f0ir; fE the rest Of the
figures. Very good of you, I'm sure. .
And with great presence of mind she
kept her own counsel and finished the
set as the representative of another
generation.

Badgering Witnesses.

The court ard jury as we'll as the
spectators, enjoy the scene when law
yer, in an attempt to browbeat witness,
comes off second best in the encounter.
A correspondent recalls an amusing in
cident of this sort which happened few
years ago in an Albany court room.
The plaintiff, who was a lady, was
called upon to testify. She got on very
well, and made favorable impression
on the jury under the guidance of her
counsel, until the opposing counsel sub
ected her to sharp cross-examination.
This so confused her that she became
faint and fell to the floor in a swoon.
OF course this excited general sympa-
thy in the audience, and Mr.. Smith saw
that his case looked badly.
An expedient suggested itself by
which to make the swooning appear
like piece of stage trickery, and thus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady's
face in swooning turned purple red, and
this fact suggested new line of attack.
The next witness was middle aged lady.
The counsel asked:
"Did you see the plaintiff faint short
time ago"
Eyes sir.
"People turn pale when they faint,
don't theyf'
A great sensation in the court. ard an

moment she answered, "No, not always.

BY this time the excitement was in
tense that everybody listened anxiously
for the reply. 1t came promptly, with
twinkle in the witness eye, and a
culver on her lip as if from suppressed
humor-
"Twss negro, sir"
Peal after peal of laughter shook the
court room, in which the venerable judge

A Vikings War Ship.

An interesting discovery has just been
made at Sandeherred, in Norway, of a
Scandinavian war vessel. Buried under
hillock, a sailing vessel has been
found which is thought to have belonged
to those terrible highwaymen of tho
ocean, the Vikings or Norwegian pirates.
1t measures about IS feet in length and
is in an almost perfect state of preserva-
ton. 1t is armed and equipped as
though it had been abandoned where
found on the point of sailing on some
adventurous expedition. All the appar-
atus used by nautical Norsemen is met
with in this ancient craft, the mast of
which is still pretty well intact. There
are fragments of sails and cordage re-
naming, as well as many specimens
either perfect or incomplete of utensils
or instruments, which have eagerly been
examined by antiquaries. Among other
things are number of pieces Of oak
wood, peculiarly shaped, wrought with
certain elegance, and followed out in
the center to admit Of ropes being
passed through them. Spades and
shields, or bucklers, have also been
found, or rather iron portions of tho
bucklers, for the wooden part is entirely
gone. Near the rudder the skeletons Of
three horses were discovered. The form
Of the shields and also the manner in
which they are suspended in the interior
part Of the ship Is absolutely the same
as one sees represented on the beautiful
tapestry of Bayeux, in Normandy,
which dates back to the eleventh CEN
fury. The ship is not completely dug
out OF its present prison near the sea-
shore. When this has been accom-
plished the ship-which is thought to
be still seaw ,rthy-will be launched and
brought to Chrissiana, to be deposited IN
the University Museum.

The Art of Fruit Canning.

hand. Hintsupon this important house
hold operation are therefore seasonable.
Good canned fruit is a strange: to the
tables of thousands o. farmers when it
might as easily be used Fruit is often
left to waste and spoil, though slight
expenditure would preserve it for Win
ter. If they can be had,. berries are
among the incest Of canned fruits.
Peaches, apples, apricots, plums, and
indeed, all eatable fruits, are worth can
ming. Dried fruits can never wholly
take the place of canned fruit for family
use.
Glass jars are preferred by most per-
sons, and are cheapest in the end. With
care they can be used many years, though
new rubber bands must be procured
when needed. In canning, sugar should
certainly be used, and it should be of
the granulated white grades, as poor
sugar hurts the flavor of the fruit. The
rule is to put one quarter of pound of
sugar with one pound of fruit, but this
quantity may be doubled if the fruit be
unusually acid. Some persons think
that fruit is good when canned without
sugar, but in that case it loses color and
frmness.
The fruit used for canning is to be of
the best quality, and as freshly picked
as possible Well-ripened fruit, not,
however, dead-ripe and soft, is in every
way preferable. In fact cannery
should really be located near the orch
ards, for there is manifest deter;ora-
ton in the quality of the fruit between
the time it is picked and the time it is
ready for the cans. There is also much
difference manifest in the varieties to be
chosen. Coarse grained man ket varieties
seldom can so we'll as the more highly
favored kinds.
When the fruit has been peeled and
pitted, place it in the preserving kettle,
and properly cook !; but while it is still
boiling hot, the cans are to be filled full,
to the very brim, the elastic put on, the
jar wiped, and the top screwed down at
once, and frightened several times after
wards. AS writer on the subject said
recently "Good fruit put boiling hot
into perfect cans, filled up, and sealed
up at once, will be fresh and pure when
opened, though years later" Simply
pouring boiling water over fruit does
not sufficiently expel the air. Partially
filled fruit jars will spoil.
Canned berries are to be put in pre-
serving kettle, with layers of sugar, and
boiled for from five to fifteen minutes.
The syrup can be bottled up, some of it,
for other uses. Some persons prefer to
aqei 10 BE Sc canned. In this case, the jars
filed up with fruit are set in IA wash
boiler, on wooden Stats, SO as not to
touch the bottom Cold water is poured
in it until it comes close to the rims Of
the Jars, and heated until the fruit is
well cooked, when the fruit in one jar
is used to fill up the others, and they
are sealed and put oway We may add
tina. glass jars of fruit should be put in
a dry, dark and cool place, where the
temperature is equable throughout the
season.

An Improbable Customer.

care you in a hurryY' a Brooklyn
oyster dealer inquired Of man for
whom he was opening his third oyster.
The man had ordered dozen, and was
plainly in haste, but seeing that lady
had entered the saloon, he said that he
had plenty of time, and began to MUNICH
broken crackers until the FISHERMAN
was again ready to wait upon him.
"What can l do for you, ma am p
the dealer inquired, turning to the lady.
care your Goldfish fresh p the custo-
mer demanded, looking suspiciously at
some large ones on the board.
"Only two hours out of the water"
the dealer answered. "Hardly dead
yet. Only 6 cents pound"
"Weigh that one for me-" the lady
said The fish weighed five pounds;
that was too large. Another weighed
two; but that was too small, A third
weighed three and half; that was Just
right; but the lady had changed her
mind, and preferred paddock. This, al
so, was cents, and fish of suitable
weight was soon found; but 4 cents
pound was all that the customer was
willing to give. Moreover, she had now
set her heart upon suIelts, and, as there
were none in the saloon, she turned her
attention to oysters.

"How much are they hundred q
"a dollar and quarter" was the re-
ply; "and cheaper at that than you can
get them anywhere else in the city"
"Then open fifty for me, if you please"
the lady said
"Will you allow me to attend to this
gentleman frstl' the dealer asked,
pointing to the man who had been
obliged to take recess after eating
three oysters.
Certainly not" the lady said, snap
pishly. "I'm in hurry" and as the
man had by this time finished nearly all
the crackers and, in great measure,
lost his appetite for oysters. he said, 20
litely, that he was willing to wait.
The fifty oysters were opened, and,
after closely examining them, the lady
said:
'Now, | don't mind giving you fifty
cents for those, if you will paste them
over with flour and egg and fix them
up for frying just as they do in Fulton
Market"
The dealer breathed very hard as he
lcoLed Of. his rrnr~m;s;no 'nsto"'"--
perhaps" he said, "you would like me
to go to your house and cook them for
you.
Without another word the lady gath
cred up her gloves, handkerchief and
reticule, restored her purse to it's place
in the latter receptacle, and bestowing
upon the dealer look OF combined scorn
and indignation, swept out of the saloon.
"We'l, woman is queer creatures"
the dealer muttered, as he looked at the
receding form. "SklnHints. all of 'em.
| wouldn't trust nav own wife where q
bargain was to be had" And he turned
around to find the man who had eaten
the three oysters But that person had
forgotten to pay for the oysters, emptied
the bowl Of broken crackers, and gone
out.
