A Minister'S Predicament.

Daniel Webster had an anecdote OF
old Father Searle, the minister Of his
boyhood, which is too good to be lost .
It was customary then to.wear buckskin
breeches in cool weather. One Sunday
morning in autumn, Father Searle
brought his breeches down from the
garnet, but the wasps had taken posses.
sion during the summer. and were hav.
ing nice time Of it in them. By dint
of effort he got out the intruders and
dressed for meeting. But, while read
ing the scriptures to the congregation,
he felt dagger from one Of the en-
ragged smallwaisted fellows, and jumped
around the pulpit, slapping his thighs.
But the more he slapped and danced,
the more they stung. The people
thought him crazy, but he explained
the matter by saying " Brethren, don't
be alarmed; the word Of the Lord is
in my mouth, but the devil is in my
breaches !" Webster always told it
with great glee to the ministers.

A Good Scheme in Schools.

In public school at Waukesha, Wis,
an ungraded department has for moro
than two years been maintained with
satisfactory results. Dull, truant, feeble
and vicious children are relegated to it
from the other departments all those,
in fact, who are not able to 60 on with
the work of the regular grades. Special
methods are adopted in teaching these
children, and after few months in this
room they not only regain their lost
standing, but are often able to enter
grade in advance of their former class
mates. The teacher in charge of this
school attributes this result chiefly to
these pupils getting rid of the drudgery
of the graded departments. There could
hardly be stronger argument in favor
of more lively and intelligent methods
in our public schools. --E1change.

New York Hotels.

Frank NJ. Pixley writes to his San
Francisco Argonaut that the hotel
keepers of New York are the colossal
bandits of the age. A hotel in that city
is by him deemed can organized con-
spiracy, perfect in all its details, audac-
ious beyond any conception of medieval
baron or Highland cattle-thief. Robin
Hood and his merry foresters were gen.
tlemen compared with the New York
inn-keeper and his associates of clerks
with diamond breastpins, his extortion-
ate hackmen, his boots, and porters and
obsequious walters" He was brought
to that frame Of mind by paying $12 a
day for two persons in seven by twelve
parlor and bedroom like dry-goods
box, with extras and fees raising tine cost
to about SIS, and then getting very or.
binary fare.

Comet Seeking.

The number of comet seekers is so
few, compared with the amplitude of
the tracts of sky to be explored nightly,
that it is probable that many celestial
visitors escape detection. Several OBJ
servers may be simultaneously at work
upon one region, while larger areas may
be left entirely unexplored. To prevent
such unintentional waste of time and
labor the Science Observer suggests o
mapping out of the heavens and an al
lotment of special tracts to particular
observers, who shall agree to explore
them nightly.

Sacramento's father laughed at this
as though it was too absurd to be con-
sidered.
The other, however, was not to be
laughed out of his suspicious.

may hev him hid here somewhere on the
premmysis."
"It's easy enough to see," returned

As he said this Sacramento, who was
now near enough to see into the kitchen,
saw her father rise from his chair and
step to the door Of the room where she
had concealed the fugitive. Her heart
almost stopped beating as she saw him
push open the door and enter the room,
followed by his companions.
"We'U make a clus search of ii

say within.
And then she stood there in terrible
suspense upon the porch, expecting
every instant to hear the shout that
would follow the discovery Of the fugi-
tive.
But no such shout was heard and
instead of it, moment after, the two
men came out again, her father still
laughing at his friend.
What could it mean? Had the young
man been able to conceal himself in the
room and SO evade their search? That
was not possible. Then she though of
the window. Could he have escaped
from the room by that? The window
was so small she could scarcely believe
that he could have crept through it.
And yet he must have done so.
She went hurriedly to the back of the
house, and then down beyond the horse
sheds. No one could be seen. She
halted a moment under live. oak trea
just at the edge of the garden. The
evening was very calm and still, and the
twilight shadows were deepening fast.
Was it the rustling of the wind in the
boughs overhead that caught her ear ?

"COme In" said Sacramento, gravely.
In her voice was neither kindness or un-
kindness. She was trying to realize the
situation she was in. "Come in and sit
down."
Then she went into the closet near by
and began taking down from the shelves
milk and bread and meat, as she slowly
did so turning over the matter in her
mind. Here was this man, who had
been stealing horses, and for whose cap
ture $500 was offered. in her kitchen.
Five hundred dollars Exactly the
sum she had been wishing for-the sum
that would take her down to San Fran
cisco to school and help her make a
lady Of herself. And this sum might be
hers If she could in some way secure
this stranger or somehow keep him in
the house until help arrived. Help |!
Why, she hardly needed help. He was
weak and exhausted, and in the drawer
of the kitchen table there was loaded
revolver which she knew well how to
use.
She came out presently and set the
things before him, bringing also tea
pot from the stove and pouring for him

down by the window and watched him
furtively as he ate.
In spite of his caution he had taken
off his hat while he was eating. She
could better see what he was Like. It
was an almost boyish face, worn, but not
wicked, with the curing hair lying in
damp clusters upon his pale brow. In
the hands, small and wel1-shaped, and
in all his motions and manners she felt
that she could read something of his
story. She had heard before this how
young lads IN the East, filled with TO-
mantle notions about Western life and
adventure, sometimes felt their way out
to the ranches of the Pacific slope. Per-
haps he was one Of these.
As she looked at him, fancying all
this, and realizing the terrible strait he
was in, and the probable dark fate that
was before him, her heart yearned with
true womanly sympathy and her feel
ing found expression before she was able
to restrain herself.
"Oh, how could you do it? How

The Alien State Of New Jersey.

1t has long been "thrown up'' at New
Jersey that she was foreign country,
and it might naturally be thought that
her people would take some measures
to remove the unfavorable impression
entertained by other States. Instead
thereof they seem to delight in doing
inst what will strengthen the impression
that their sister State is an alien and has
nothing in common with her pretended
sisters.
Only few days ago they had an en-
bezzlement case in Hudson County,
New Jersey. The defendant was a
Town Treasurer, and had done what he
could to bring New Jersey into harmony
with the Union by stealing the public
funds, Just as Town Treasurers some
times do in the States. The courts,
however, spoiled his nice little scheme.
They seemed at first to fall in with it,
just as State courts do, by deferring
sentence until the money-a beg
carly trife of S4,000-had been
returned by the prisoners friends.
But when that was done, instead
of following the State fashion Of
letting the prisoner off, the courts
sentenced him to three years and six
months imprisonment. And when pc
titioned to remit the sentence on account
of alleged carelessness and inexperience
on the part of the defendant, the Jersey
Judge, in fragrant disregard of the State
precedents, refused. He had the bar
baritv to say that he was satisfied the
defendant took the money, not by mis-
take, but purposely, and that to accept
his restitution as ground for releasing
him would be to say to public officers:
"You can go on stealing until you are
found out, and when you are discovered
you can pay back and goscot free" Those
are the exact words the hard-hearted
Jersey Judge used, and the prisoner
actually went to the penitentiary, not
withstanding the restitution.
OF course, if the Jerseymen do not
care about being regarded as foreigners
it is useless to criticise the conduct of
this Judge. But if they expect to be
ever admitted to the Union or to have
their membership of the Union-if they
claim any-recognized, they must see
to it that this sort of thing is stopped

HOME AND FARM.

Keep all animals which are housed
scrupulously clean, well fed and wa
tered.
Stock the farm to the fullest extent
with safety. Raise all the food possible,
hay, grain, straw, fodder, then feed lib
orally but carefully.
The most successful breeders of
sheep in England find that good-yes
even rather high-feed keeps their sheep
in much better health than when they
are not so well cared for.
DO not put soap in the water with
which you wash the glass on your bu-
reau; wash it with clear water with a
soft cloth; then polish it with piece
of chamois-skin. This removes lint and
makes the glass shine.-N. Y. Erami-
ner.
BY all odds the cheapest and best
wav to eradicate common hard wood
stumps, SAYS the Practical Farmer, is to
work the. ground with a shovel plow,
SOW buckwheat or plant corn until
seeded to timothy, orchard grass and
clover, and pasture until the stumps so
far decay that they can be pulled out by
hitching chain around the top when
the ground is wet in the winter or
spring.
To wash carpet, spread it where
YOU can use brush, and scrub as you
would floor. Scrape one peck of Irish
potatoes into two pals of water and let
them stand over night; when ready to
use add more water and two ounces Of
beef gall. When dry brush hard with
broom.
To clean marble, dissolve in water
to which has been added one teaspoon
full of washing soda, a large lump OF
Spanish whiting, making paste; ap-
ply to the marble with flannel cloth,
rubbing well, and leave it on for some
time, and, if necessary, repeat the
process. Wash off thoroughly with
soap and water, then dry and polish
with soft duster-Detr0it Post.
To prevent horse being scared, il
disposed to it, when first put into har
ness without binders, take him behind
the carriage and at the sides, and let
him touch these with his nose and smell
them well. If curtains enclose the car
riage, as is usual in rockaway, loosen
and shake them in the face of the horse :;
then stand him fronting the carriage,
between. the shafts, and if a buggy, raise
and lower the top, to accustom him to
this. If these frighten him little, re-
peat till he gets completely over it and
then attach him to the vehicle.
