A 3 Itimore man who bought him a

~ approached by friend who had some
money to invest, and who asked:
"Can [ buy pretty fair farm fo1

Yes, about that figure
"And I'll want to lay out about $10,-

"And $1,000 more in grading, fill

" That's $40, Oo0; and now let's figure
the income"

said the victim, as q shade of sorrow
darkened his face. "The income will
be about So for turnips, So for potatoes.

A Notice, of.Twenty Lines.

Edward CLARK died last week, worth
S25, 000, 000-some say more-and he re-
ceived just twenty lines average notice

the New York Tribune to remark: Such

thousands of dollars. He was attracted
there by his wife, the daughter Of Am
brose l.. Jordan, whose childhood was
spent near FeniUaore Cooper, and IN
whose sight young Clark studied law
under her fathers roof. They married,
and when Clark had built her, in suisse
quent years, beautiful home and
bridged the young Susq Hehanna for her,

murdered FOR insurance

Iile Wackerly insurance case IN St.
Louis has recalled other attempts, or
alleged attempts, to swindle insurance
companies. A jeweler having insured
himself for $4,000 professed to have
discovered a process of enameling gold
with the cyanide of potassium. One
day he was found dead, poisoned by the
fumes OF that substance The company
believed it was an ingenious scheme to
kill himself sud escape the forfeiture OF
suicide, but they concluded to pay. A
French count several years ago insured
the life of his mistress, anignorant young
girl, for $ll5, 000. He said to her:
''Angel, we shall beat the bIoated insur-
ance companies out of all this treasure
and go to Italy and enjoy it. Do you
follow my advice. Tell all your friends
and neighbors that you are MORALLY Ill,
Take to your bed and beads. Affect
death close at hand. Then, my love,
viii spirit you away, bury something in
place Of you, and demand the money"
The poor dupe consented and then he
poisoned her with dgitalis, Everybody
thought it natural death, for she had
said SO and told her symptoms. But
The insurance company was not satisfied;
the body was examined and variotlsly
tested, and his wife and mother-in law
also dug up. Digitalis in them ALL

by vigorous kick in the rear and heard

OUR FlREsIDs EVENING HYMN.
BY JAEEs T. FIELDS.

Hitler, bright angels, wing your flight,
And stay your gentle presence here:
Watch round, and shield US through the night,
That every shaGe may disappear.
How sweet, when Nature claims repose,
And darkness floats in silence nigh,
TO welcome in at daylight's close
Those radiant troops that gem the sky
To feel that unseen hands we clasp,
While feet unheard are gathering round
To know that we in faith may grasp
Celestial guards from heavenly groundi
oh. ever thus with silent prayer
For those who love, may night begin
Reposing safe, released from care,
Till morning leads the sunlight in.

The following is the report of the Commit
tee on ensilage made at the Third Annual
Meeting of the American Agricultural Asso-
citation, lately held in New York, and printed
in the Agricultural Review and journal of the
Association
Your Committee appointed to report upon
silos and ensilage beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing: From the experience of those who
have been experimenting with ensilage dur
ing the last two years in our country, il is
safe to assert that green forage can be cut
and packed in pits or silos and kept sound
that such forage is eaten by cattle with avidi-
ty, and that it has proved a wholesome and
valuable food 1t is not, however reasonable
to claim that the system has yet passed be-
You'd the experimental stage in the minds of
our American farmers. Exactly to what ex
tent the new system is destined to benefit the
farmers and the public is yet too early to de-
termiue. A large number of silos have been
built during the last two years by men who
nave spared neither pains nor expense in
their construction, and also by farmers of
very limited means, and in no case which has
come 10 the knowledge of your Committee
has any experimenter yet abandoned the sys
TEN, or lost faith in it as an aid or adjunct to
the cattle feeder. 1t is not improbable, how.
ever, that ensilage may in some cases have
been given credit above its due, as where n
light crop of grass is compared with a heavy
crop of corn grown upon equal areas, the
former being dried and the latter being put
in the silos. Any system that will enable the
farmer to produce two, three or four times
the food per acre that has usually been grown
must be worthy the attention of every cattle
owner. In bad weather for curing forage by
ordinary methods the silo will be found
great help to the farmer, but the chief bene-
fit, in the opinion of your Committee, is to be
derived from the more extended use of Indian
corn as forage crop, instead of ordinary
pasture and meadow grasses"
