Horrible.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 30.-Last
Friday night at Benton Mills, Arkansas, a
man named Eson Bolen was killed in his
bed, and his wife confessed to killing him.
She justifes herself by saying that Boen
had killed two men, was horse-thef,
had lived by theft in every place where
they had been, had threatened her life at
various times AID had ,on two occasions
drawn knife on her, and that
her life was most terrible with him.
Her statements were made in a cool and
unmoyed manner, while the body of the
dead man was so near that she might have
touched it. The jurys verdict was
that Bolen died at the hands of his
wife. Three of their children were sent to
the poor house and she was permitted
to take young son, three months old, to
Jail with her. Monday she borrowed u
knife from the jailcr, ostensibly to rip up a
dress to make over for the child but in
stead cut her throat and died in a few
minutes.

COMPLAINTS FROM POsTMASTERs.
WASHINGTON, December 30.-A dvices re
ceived at the Postoflice Department from
postmasters show an alarming increase in
smallpox cases in all sections of the
country In some cases. notably one in
New York State, the Department has been
appealed to by postmasters to adopt some
method of protecting them from
infected mail matter, even to
the extent of stopping the mail
altogether, if other means fail. The postal
authorities are considering the matter and
are disposed to take any steps that may be
feasible in this direction.
Some days ago the Department directed
the surety of the postmaster at Walla-
walla, Washington Territory, to take
charge of and remove the office
and effects Tor the reason that smallpox
had appeared IN the family of the postmas-
ter. 1t is now learned that in attempting
to discharge this duty the surety contracted
the disease and has since died

Proper Care or the Orchard.

Speaking of poor orchard manage
ment. Mr.. Barry says that he has seen
trees standing in grass neither broken
up nor MANFRED for many years, max
ing feeble and stunted growth, and
producing heavy crops of fruit, one
half or one-fourth Of which may be
merchantable, the balance hardly worth
picking up. We find orchard after
orchard in this condition. This will
not pay. Trees NAV be kept in vigor-
GUS and healthy condition by proper
tillage of the soil, abundance of fer
tilizers. and judicious pruning. These
involve labor and expense, but you
cannot grow fine fruit without both,
and good deal of them. A fruit tree
shows neglect very quickly. In his
pear orchard, to lessen the chances of
blight, he Stacked Off in both cultiva-
tior and manure. The result was, in
two years, one-half his crop was culls.
His trees, instead of making stout
shoots twelve to eighteen inches long.
made scarcely ans growth at all. He
had observed similar results in the case
of other fruit trees. In some soils,
especially in those of light and sandy
nature. a moderate top-dressing every
year is necessary; in others, every sec
ond year will be sufficient There can
be no rule laid down. The trees and
fruit will tell what is wanted. Rural

Miniature Irrigation.

Frequently persons have but limited
space, but a plenty of time to attend to
a few vines. such as cueumbers, melons,
Strawberries. etc. which BY care can be
made very productive, and some little
device for suitable irrigation will pro-
duce magical results. An old barrel,
which will hold water and which is not
saturated with any agent injurious to
vegetation. set down in the ground. the
top level with the surface, is pa oiific
place to plant hill of cucumbers. Fill
the barrel half full with boulders, peb-
bles and gravel. then fill up the balance
with strong. well-rotted manure and
rich soil. well mixed. Plant your Gu
cumbers in this, and keep the barrel
half full of water. or to the top of the
rocks and gravel, and more cucumbers
can be raised from this than from a
quarter of an acre of ordinary soil
parched by the sun and winds of our
summers. The same is the case with
melons. Another good way is to make
rich mellow hill. by spading in rich
manure eighteen inches deep and three
feet wide. In the center of this hill set
a tight nail key. boring a row of gimlet
holes close to the bottom all round.
Fill it half full of rich manure. Plant n
row of melons all round this key three
or four inches from il. When the
melons are up and begin to grow thrift
lily turn pail of water daily into the
key and let it pass through the manure
out through the gimlet holes, being
careful to have the holes just below the
surface of the ground. In this way we
have raised more melons from one hill
than in forty of ordinary field culture.
There is another simple continuance
which will pay. If you have few rare
strawberry plants, and every one can
and should have. take your useless
empty oyster cans and punch a small
hole through the bottom. close to one
side. Set it at the side of your straw
berry plant. Fill every day, or twice
a day. and let the water escape slowly
through the hole to the roots of the
strawberry. and you will see such Won
ders in berries as you read OF in the
papers.
All of these things need an abun-
dance OF water at all hours during our
dry. hot winds, and by the simple but
cheap devices rich results can be at
tanned. In cities where they have the
advantage OF water works pipe with
small holes ell along it for the water to
escape can be buried along a row of
Strawberries, and it can be regulated so
as not to drown out the plants. nor al
low them to parch in the sun. In this
way almost any one can have this de-
licious berry in its prime, and many will
be astonished at the quantity which
can be produced from row of vines
twenty or thirty feet long. But there
are other devices by which miniature
irrigation can be accomplished, with
satisfactory results.-ioUa State Regis-

Touching and Romantic Tale.

[Chicago Tribune.l
"Do you love me, George, as much as you
did last Thursday"
Tt was beautiful girl who spoke these
words, as she leaned her head trustingly on
the shoulder of young man whose strong
right arm encircled her waist.
"Your heart must tell you that do, my
sweet" he murmured.
Juliet Mahaffy and George Williamson had
plighted their troth months ago in the festal
Christmas-tide, when the earth was wrapped
in mantle of snowy whiteness, and the moon
looked down, cold and beautiful, on the
thronged oyster saloons. 1t was now July,
The snow had given way to the violet and the
oyster to the fee cream.
But Juliets love never wavered. She had
for George calm but intense affection that
buried all else in its wondrons depths. "a
true woman never loves but once, and you are
my idol' she had said to him one night
From that moment each understood the other
perfectly.
George" said the girl again, 'sif you love me
with a really and truly love, kiss me again."
A shudder passed over the young mans
frame, and he changed the subject of CONVEX
sation. But the girl would not listen. "You
must kiss me-" she said.
Turning CHASTITY pale in the dim half-light
of the turned-down gas. he averted his head
and said in low, choked voice, 81 cannot"
"Cannot!'' shrieked the girl in an agony of
grief, clinging to him with the energy of de-
spair, while a deathly pallor overspread her
cheek. Tell me George, tell me truly, what
has come between us. !"
For an instant there was silence, and then
George Williamson said in low, bitter tones,
every word falling upon Juliets waiting ears
with terrible distinctness.:
"I'm chewing plug tobacco"
Two minutes after Juliet came into the room
kicking something along the floor in front of
her.
1t was a cuspidore.
She had proven her love.
