A Miners Romance.

At Amherst College, in the class of
'53, there were two chums, who had
stuck together ever since they had first
entered college. They were fast friends,
and no trouble had ever disturbed their
friendship. One was the son of rich
parents, and the other of a country min
ister. When they graduated the rich
mans son went into business with his
father in New York, and took his friend
with him as an employee. Things went
on smoothly for some time, when that
common accident of life happened
they both fell in love with the same
girl. The fight in the heart of the en-
ployee was long and bitter, but, con-
trasting his position with that of his
friend, the difference in the advantages
he could offer the woman, he yielded,
and, with scarce word of parting, with
one of explanation, he left New York
and went West. A year afterward
found him in Sam Francisco, and he
soon joined the gold-diggers. His for
tune was varied, at times rich, at times
poor; afterward, in Nevada, he followed
silver-mining, and when the silver-craze
struck Leadville he went there. There
he was successful, and this spring, a
rich man, he determined to return East
for the first time in twenty-four years.
Friday, as he got off the Southwestern
train, at Wilton, Iowa, and went to get
on the main line train which was to car
ry him to Chicago, lady who was try
ing to turn seat attracted his attention.
Stepping forward to help her, he at first
looked with wonder, then joy, to see
that it was the woman he had run away
from so long ago, a woman now past
forty, but handsome yet. He talked to
her timidly at first, and uncertain.
When he learned that she was yet un-
married his questions came faster yet,
and her present condition was soon
known to him. Her parents had died,
and, depending on her own exertions
for support, she had taught school, and
at present was principal Of school in
Western Iowa. The old love still lived
in the miners heart, and he soon found
that he had not been entirely forgotten
by her. To make long story short, it
was a very happy looking couple
that got off the train at Chicago that
night looking for minister, and a still
happier one which registered at the
Sherman as Mr.. and Mrs. -, Lead

Fresh Air.

Too many houses are closed up at the
back in America, there are no through
draughts; front and back open and a
current set a-going, that's fresh air. Air
stagnates, and curtains drawn, blinds
down, carpets on floors, doors closed,
and one bit of window just opened
goodness, where's the life to come from
to breathe in so many cubic inches even
of oxygen!
Now, then, in the morning let your
maid open your street door for an hour,
and set something airing, some current
into those stagnant air layers. that stuff
each other up and can neither move up
nor down, nor in, nor out.
. Ladies are faint, children droop, ba-
bies die, men swear, and all for want OF
little current of fresh air just passing
through the house.
Look to it and open your house-door
the first thing in the morning, and if you
can, set current going through it,

Hens Plucking Feathers.

I notice frequent inquiries for the
cause of hens plucking their own and
their associates feathers for the pur-
pose of eating them. Have had long
and successful experience in keeping
fowls, and for many years after com
mencement never had an instance of the
kind in my flock. Later there were q
few instances in which the disposition
was manifested to do SO on the part of q
very few of the lot Not knowing the
cause, and supposing that the foolish
freak would soon be done with, as had
once or twice before happened, l al
lowed some of the obnoxious birds to
live over in my next years flock, as they
were good layers. During the winter
following, the vicious habit of the old
fowls remained about the same in de-
gree as had been manifested by the in
fected ones the summer and autumn
previous; but in the spring and sum-
mer following nearly the whole flock Of
from seventy-five to eighty fowls be-
came infected with the mania, until the
disposition to be picked was apparently
as great and pleasurable as to pluck,
until nearly the whole lot became hide
GUS in appearance, the remaining few
untouched only serving to widen the
contrast between themselves and the de-
nuded ones.
The entire lot were good layers, and
in excellent health and condition gener-
ally, having the free range of "all out
doors" on unlimited territory, in fa-
vorable locality, both in summer and
winter, with capacious and excellent
shelter, and every variety of food and
accompaniments, milk included, which
are usually supposed to be beneficial to
fowls. Thus it will be seen that at the
time they were the most inveterate in
this habit they were enjoying the free
range of woods and pasture, meadow
and field, with an abundance of food
beside; but they would never abandon
the trick, but would usually impart it to
new corners, until they were killed.
Hence | have never found any remedy
but to kill off the entire lot and COM
mence with new fock.-Cor. Neso Eng
land Farmer.

The Freaks of Fortune.

A short story-not Lake Superior
romance, but story showing the freaks
of fortune and how the old dame some
times strikes fellow when and where
be least expects it. Once upon time,
in the early history of Marquette, the
son-in-law of father-in-law doing busi-
ness in a lower Michigan village came
here, and, for the want of something
better to do, became editor of the Mn
ing Journal, then weekly sheet, printed
on a hand-press with old battered type.
The father-in-law was apparently a
prosperous merchant, and in the course
of trade had become possessed of some
land scrip and a 120-acre land warrant.
1t was in 1858, at the time Silas G.
Smith made pilgrimage to what is now
the Menominee iron range, i'll the inter-
est of Hon. Edward Breitung, that the
son-in-law wrote to his father-in-law,
saying that if he would send the scrip
and land-warraut here he thought he
could locate some land that in the
course of time might prove valuable.
The old gentleman acted on the sugges-
ton, and the son-in-law placed the scrip
and warrant where he thought they
would do the father-in-law the most
good. Subsequently, all the entrees COW
cred by the scrip were cancelled by the
Government, it being ascertained that
the State had received more scrip than
she was entitled to, and the old gentle
mans landed possessions in the upper
peninsula were reduced to 120 acres cov-
cred by the land-warrant. In the course
Of time an adverse financial wave
stranded the old gentleman-left him
high and dry on Poverty Beach-and
he turned over to his creditors all his
property not exempt from execution,
including the 120 acres of land in the
upper peninsula. His creditors, after
examining the assets, concluded that
the land was worthless, and proposed
that he should keep it and turn over
something which, though exempt, could
be more readily converted into cash.
He did so, giving them in lieu of the
land other property worth about $3.50.
He then embarked in business as an in
surance agent, and for years has occu-
pied dingy little office in the lower
peninsula town referred to, ekeing out q
bare subsistence on his commissions.
The financial wave by which he was
stranded, as suddenly and Unexpectedly
returning, floats him once more on the
sea of prosperity. His name is H. A.
Chaplin, and he is the owner of the
Chaplin mine, and the richest man in the
little city of Niles, Mich. The despised
1870 acres, in lieu of which his creditors
asked and received $3.50 worth of ex-
empted property, will this year yield
him an income of 100000, and when
the mine which bears his name is fully
developed his annual income will be in
the neighborhood of 100000. Mr..
Chaplin is an old man, but if there is any
happiness in the possession of wealth his
few remaining years ought to be serenely
happy ones. One editor having located
the land from which his wealth has
been derived, another that we know of
would like nothing better than a chance
of making himself financially solid on
an option for its purchase within ninety
days, at a valuation ranging anywhere
from S500,000 to $780, 0,000.-MarQuette

italian needlewomen Of the sixteenth

Italian needlewomen of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries were renown-
ed especially for their skill in what was
known as applique work. Very much
of this was done in converts. Two
fabrics were selected, as, for example,
velvet and silk, and the same pattern,
usually a conventional one, was traced
upon each, and then carefully cut out.
The two were then carefully laid one
upon the other, and the edges concealed
by use of fine cord or silk, or worked
over in buttonhole stitch. This style of
work was very much in demand in the
decoration of churches, and some of the
old Milanese work is very beautiful, the
selection and the arranging of colors
giving the effect of deep relief upon
lighter ground.

"A good mother, whose five-year-old
boy is exceptionally conscientious and
devout, has often been smitten with a
pang of apprehension lest her darling
might be too good for this world. The
thought came into her mind the other
day, when her head was bowed by the
side of her child's at church in prayer
time: but this pain was quickly Danish
ed by very different feeling when the
little boy said to her in low whisper !:

Well, we can, then, and we do. It is
true you can't make q hen set before
she is ready, but there is an artificial
hatchery on the Hudson River that dis
counts all the hens in America getting
pullets for the market, and matches out
LA chicks before the natural hen in the
nearest barn-yard can get nest
scratched into shape to suit her fastidi-
Gus taste. And we hustle Nature with
hot-beds, and fool her all winter with
Conservatives, we take the sting out of

HOyen or Bl0at.

When a COW oyer-feeds on green fod-
der, and especially if it is wet, the mass
ferments in the rumen and produces a
large quantity of gas, which bloats the
animal and distends the stomach. The
proper treatment in this case is to give q
quart of water in which one ounce of
carbonate of ammonia has been mixed;
to put a stick, such as a piece Of broom
handle across the mouth and tie it there
to the horns, to cause the COW to eject
the gas. If this is not effective, the
paunch should be opened on the left side
of the animal, in the center Of a triangle
formed by the hip bone, the last rib and
the short projections of the backbone
for the three angles or points. If no
other instrument is at hand, sharp
pointed penknife may be used. The
skin is pushed or drawn little out of
place and the knife pushed through to
penetrate the paunch, taking such di-
rection as not to wound the kidneys. The
direction is slanting downwards. A
piece of quill, securely tied to string,
is then put into the opening, and the gas
pours out and at once relieves the ami
NAL. The quill is left in the hole with
something tied to it to prevent its enter
ing, and as gas is formed it escapes. A
dose of sixteen ounces of EPSON salts
dissolved in hot water should be given
as soon as possible, and, if necessary,
copious injections of soapy water. When
gas is no longer formed, the quill may
be drawn out, and as the skin returns to
its place it covers the opening through
the muscle to the paunch, and the
wounds heal very soon. An instrument
known as trocar and canula is used
with perfect safety in such cases.-N. Y.
