A Model Mail Carrier,

One of the post office agents who was making 8 trip through the northern part of the lower peninsula this summer came across a mail route through the woods from one hamlet to another, with 8 weekly average of two letters and one paper ln the bags. The carrier wore 8 coon-skin cap and rode pony about as fat as case knife, and he took things so easy that the agent saw fit to question him little: "My man, do you realize that you represent the United States ?" "Waal, kinder reckon" "And you feel the responsibility, I presume ?" "Bet yer goggles I dew" "You know you must brave all perils to get your mail safely through" "That thar hoss an me ar good fur anything twice our size, I reckon" eff attacked by robbers what would you dor' "Bury 'em l" Suppose you were offered money to give up the mail bagr' "No danger O that, mister; I don't believe the hull country could scrape up fifty cents" "There are awful fires ID these woods sometimes" "K'rect, I've seen bars roasted alive when they wasn't within mile of the flames" "Well, now, if you were surrounded by fierce forest fire, what would you do?'' " Fire all around ?' "Yes." "No chance to burrow under or fly over 9 "No. "Waal, mister, it would be kinder turf, but I'd remember that I represent the Government. I'd kill my hoss, eat the mail and die shouting, We have met the inemy and he is our'n !"-Detroi | Free Press.

Movements of a Log Jam.

There are few grander sights to be seen anywhere, says letter from Will iamsburgh, Pa., than the moving of a log jam. The grand strength with which they move, tearing out the larg- est trees and forcing everything before them, and the fierce motion of the logs, like the crazy shuttles of some giant machine, and the perfection of force, compel enthusiasm from the most phleg- matic spectator. The wild hurrahs of the men on the logs add to the excite ment, and an observer is quite sure to find himself running along by the side of the moving mass cheering as if he had won battle. The men who are at work scarcely realize the danger, they are so carried away with the excitement, and they may be seen jumping from one log to another and cheering as if perfectly safe on solid ground instead of on dangerous sea of moving logs that are continually rising and falling and lodging this way and that, driven by the flood of waters furnished by the floating dam. The skill shown by ex- perienced foaters in riding logs is won- derful, and it seems impossible for human dexterity to reach such perfec- tion. A jam will sometimes form where precipitous rocks make it impossible for the men to escape on either side, and they must ride the logs for several rods. In such places the water is always swift, sometimes forming rapids, and watching the logs jumping, tumbling, rolling along with a deafening roar, one wonders how men can live among them for an instant. Behind the jam break CTS come the seekers with their teams, drawing the logs that jams have forced far out on the banks and rolling in those on the shores. Bringing up the rear" is the technical term given this work by the lumbermen, and it is no more de- sirable than occupying the same position in the army. It is terribly cold work, too, wading in the snow water, ice freezing on the levers and on the cloth ing wherever exposed to the air, and makes the spectators shiver to see them. But the hardy lumbermen don't mind it. They expect it and their strength is equal to the demand. ,.-

Mrs. Craner,

One of the most pathetic scenes that has yet occurred in connection with the Cramer case at New Haven, Conn.,, is the testimony given by Mrs. Cramer, the mother of the unfortunate and mis- guided child. Her gentle expostulation with her daughter; her warning that she was disgracing herself by staying out over night; her reminder that James Malley had no right to keep her out, and her intimation that, if the thing were repeated, she must find place else where, for the sake of the little sister, who was soon to come home-al these admonitions were truly motherly and will strike home in every parents heart. Then comes the maternal outburst, "I said that about her little sister and Jen- nie'sleaving because I was excited. Iknew Jennie couldn't get along without me, and she knew I couldn't get along without her." And now the mother will have to get along without her child, and the stricken father-an invalid for years will have to go down to his grave know ing that
 light from his household gone,
 A voice he loved is still;
 A chair is vacant by his hearth
 That never will be filled.
 And while the parents sat bowed with grief within their outraged home, the two men who are implicated in the wrong could find it in their hearts to laugh and jest, after the manner of the most accomplished roues of the court of Louis Quatorze.

A Husband Who Laughed.

Several men were making purchases in Michigan avenue store yesterday, when man who had been looking out of 8 window for some time turned and said
 "Well, that's bad case"
 "What is it ?' inquired two or three at once.
 "Well, I don't know who is the hus- band of this woman out here in the wagon, but if I was he I'd go across the street and smash that fellows head"
 "Why?"
 "Why, because he has been working like 8 beaver for the last half hour tc get up 8 Irritation with her."
 At this one of the men began to chuckle. Then the chuckle ran into g laugh, and finally he had to sit down.
 "What's the matter with you ?'' was asked.
 "Why, I'm-I'm that woman's bus band"
 "Are you? And are you laughing over the Irritation ?"
 "I-I can't help it," he said, as he went off into another fit. "Just think of him flirting and strutting up anc down and doing the purity when the old woman out there has been stone blind for seven years ha ha ha !'- Detroit Free Press.

Picking Cucumbers.

Wash the cucumbers clean make & good brine and pour it scalding hot over them. Let it stand three hours. To one gallon of vinegar add a piece of alum as large as hickory-nut. Let it get scalding hot, put your pickles in and let them remain fifteen minutes then take them out and throw the vinegar away. Now take a gallon of fresh vinegar and add green peppers cut in two; add half a teacup of sugar, cinnamon and cloves if you like, and a little alum let this also come to scald; put the pickles in, let them scald, then seal up in glass jars. Be particular to get good apple vinegar. Be sure of that and your pickles will keep as long as you want them to. I always use ghe1kins instead of large cucumbers for pickles.

Crab-Apple Preserves.

For crab-apple preserves select the perfect red Siberian crabs and leave the stems on. Place in kettle with suffi- cient amount of warm water to cover them. Heat this gradually to boiling and let simmer until the skins of the fruit break. Remove from the water and skin the apples; with a sharp pointed knife take out the cores. When thus prepared weigh the fruit and allow to every pound II pounds of sugar and teacupful of water. Boil water and sugar together and remove the scum 1; then add the fruit, cover the kettle and simmer until the fruit is tender. Take it out and spread on platters to harden. For every three pounds of fruit add the juice of one lemon to the simmering syrup, which must now be boiled until clear and rich. Fill the fruit jars about two-thirds full of apples and pour in the syrup, and when cool seal.

ShOOtings in Scotland,

The letting of shootings in Scotland this year is very profitable to the landed proprietors, who care more for the "siller" than for the sport. A shoot ing of 1000 acres in Aberdeenshire is rented for $17, 800 for the season by a Manchester cotton lord who forty years ago had not as many pence. In the same district shooting of 10000 acres let's at $5, 900 season, with probable bag of 1,6OO grouse, low ground game, and good fishing. The family place of 8 peer in Inverness-shire lets at $20, ,00O for the season. This includes famous forest of 5000 acres, also 1900 acres of we'll stocked wood, and 11,000 acres of mixed shooting. The highest rented shooting in Scotland, and the best, is Black Mount in Argyllshire, which ex' tends over 80,00O acres, and is leased by Lord Dudley from Lord Breadal bane at $24,OOO.

Well.BOrn Thieves.

It is said that number of robberies lately committedin in a Missouri town have been traced to young men of good birth. There is nothing wonderful about this, although there should be. There was 8 time when it was matter of pride among young men to earn their own
 living and achieve fortune for themselves, but that day is past. The young man of to-day insists upon beginning where his father ended, and he seems to think that his social and financial standing should be equal to that which his father has reached only by an honorable and laborious life. If the parent lives in a brown-stone front, keeps a carriage, has @ box at the opera, and enjoys a certain amount of elegant leisure, the son pro- poses to do likewise but, as he seldom is able and industrious enough to hon. estly gain them for himself, he settles down in the position of dependent of his father or sponge upon his good natured intimates. A young man who will fall so low will swindle or steal if he finds an attractive opportunity that seems safe. He may be fortunate enough to meet rich girl who is foolish enough to marry him, but otherwise his pros- poets of being what he wants to, simply on the strength of his family name, be- comes extremely doubtful, while the chance for his becoming 8 mere para site, fit for any sin that promises money, is remarkably good. A scion of family stock that is really good need descend to no such depths; blood will tell if put in action, and there is no other country in the world that offers more rapid and honorable preferment than ours. If the young man can practice industry and self-denial, as all the old fellows did who now are highest in society, business and politics, he can become rich and leisurely as soon as he is fit to be; otherwise he is better off in the penitentiary than he can be while infesting society.

pM BL YT,HE THAT MY HEARTY $

BY LILLE E. BARR

BY LILLE E. BARR. The mother went down to the byre, where
 Jenny was milking the kye; "Jenny," said she, ''your lad is false, and you
 ken it as we'll as I There's folks hae seen him wi Lizzie, not once
 but again and again." "Ah weel!" said Jenny, "I'm sorry for that
 but I'm blythe that my hearts my ain! "If lad has na sense to ken when he's got a
 good chance for wife, I'm not the lass to worry for him, and fret folks
 out of their life; There's milking, and baking, and washing to
 do, whether lads go Or hide And there's kith and kin, and the house ito
 mind, if never should be bride. "They say that Lizzie has money-and moneys
 a lift through life hope she'll be thrifty and loving, for Johnny
 deserves 8 good wife; And wastrie's thing that bring's--as it ought
 to do-shame and want, So woman should aye be careful, without be-
 ing scrimpit and scant. "And hear that Lizzie is bonnie, and gay as
 & bird in June Ah weel count myself bonnie enough when
 I'm dressed for the afternoon In my little calico josey, and my collar as white
 as snow, And at my throat bit of pink ribbon tied in a
 pretty bow. " But if Johnny thinks he'll do better he need
 na come here again. I'm sorry when folks pass by their luck, but
 I'm blythe. that my hearts my ain!" Then some one laughed--and there stood
 Johnny-his bright face all in glow. "Jenny," he said, "it is not your ain you
 gave it to me, you know! "You gave it to me last Halloween, and you
 promised to marry me, too" Then Jenny turned with rosy blush, and what could the lassie do, When her lover with smiles and kisses made the foolish gossip plain? What could she do but kiss him back, and say
 to him over again: "Oh, Love, my Heart is always yours, and I'm
 blythe that it's not my ain !''

The following directions were published by such physicians as favored the plan :: Clay the patient on his back loosen the clothing, so as to encourage free flow of blood; expose tine chest, es- pecially over the region of the heart, and with a large cloth, towel, or sponge freely bathe the head, face, neck, and chest with hot salt water, as hot as can be handled, continually adding more hot water and applying it until the patient is soft. Use one teaspoonful of salt to every quart of hot water. Have the feet made bare and rubbed or slapped, and in extreme cases apply mustard poultices. Give internally, if temper ate man, tablespoonful of whisky in hot water ; if drinking man, use a little ammonia or hartshorn in hot water: if soon after a meal, put tea spoonful of yellow mustard into glass of warm water and have the patient drink it, following up with more until he vomits freely. As he convalesces give at first lime water amp milk (one. fourth lime water and three.fourths milk, afterward liquid diet until tht stomach is strong enough for solids.
