s.Jimmx: Helps Make Ice.Cream.

After that trouble with Aunt Eliza
the time she staid up on the roof and
was rained OIL baNno misfortunes for
nearly a week; but it dent last. BOYS
are born to fly upward likethe sparks
that trouble. and yesterday twas ..up
to mischief again" as Sue sad. tbougb
1 never had the least idea of doing any
mischief. How should an innocent
boy. who might easily have been ar or
Phan had things happened in that way,
hpow all oooking and chemistry
ahhSnch. l should nAa TO know.
1t was really Sues faur. No,b;nr
would do but she must give n psi .nj
and of she must have ice-cr..m.
Now the ice-cream that our cake-shoi.
nan makes isn't good enough for her,
so she got father to buy an ice-cream
freezer, and said she would make the
ice-cream herself. | was to help her,
and she sent ME to the store to order
some salt. l asked her what she wanted
of salt, and she said that you couldn't
freeze ice-cream without plenty of salt,
and that it was almost rs necessary aSice.
went to the store and ordered the
salt. and then had a game or two of ball
with the boys. and didn't get home till
late in the afternoon. There was Sue
freezing the ice-cream. and suffering
dreadfully, so she said. She had 10 so
and dress right away. and told me- to
keep turning the ice-crcam freezer till
it froze and don't run off and leave me
TO do everything again yoa good
for-nothing boy, | wonder how you a
do it.
/ turned that freezer for ever so long.
but nothing would freezs; so l made up
my mind that it wanted more salt. 1
didn't want to dis,nrb anybody, so |
quietly went into the kitchen and got
the s~alt-cellar. ard emptied it iato the
ice-cream. II began to freeze right
away: but l t,.sed it, and it was awfully
salt, so I cos the jug of golden sirup
snd poured about a pint into the ice
cream. sd when it was done it was a
teautifnI straw-color.
Ruf there was an awful scene when
the party tried to eat that ice-cream.
Sse handed it around, and said to
everybody: This is my ice-cream.
and you must be sure to like it." The
first one she gave it to was DR..
Porter. He is dreadfuily fond Of ice
cream. and he smiled such q big smile,
and said he was sure it was delightful,
and took q whole spoonful. Thsn he
jumped up as if something had BIT him. |
and went out of the door in two Jumps.
and We didn't see him again. Then !
three more men tasted their ice-cream. |
and jumped up. and ran afler the
doctor. and two girls said: s.Ok myr'
md held their handkcrchiefs osGe their
aces, and turned just as pale And
everybody else put theiri cream
down on the table. and said Z blk Won
they guessed they wouldn't any.

At Grand Island the other day a pas.

THE FLY.


Buzzing and gay in the early dawn,
Fresh from "A nap on the parior wall,
Out for a flight over garden and lawn,
Fearing no tumble and drcading no fall,
Game n fiy:
A lively. froiicsOme, bIue-bottlc fly:
And his feet
We're as neat.
And his style
As complete
As his brain
Was replete
With the mischief that laughed in his eyel
What glorious fun I'll have to-day,
When the baby's asleep and the nurse away
When Rover lies 10y the kitchen door:
III waken Them both and make them roar.
Oh, what larks."
Cried the rolhcking, reckless blue-bottle ny
"what a cry"
Said :he fly,
After me,
When I've lone
With ~"ee eye:
.nicn on grandpa's head,
= "Then I'D ~rcruggles 10 brush me away:
wrrkie his car till he'll wish I WAS dead.
- And over the table ut dinner I'll play
Pack and forth,
Ard feast ON crumbs from a newly-baked pie.
And III sip
From the Lip
OF each glass
That may pass
- All sweet things
Dinner brings"
Quoth this riotous bluc-bottlc fly.
But, alas for the plans he had laid!
And alas for tie day just begun.
For this fly soon lit in the grateful shade
To escape the hot rays of the sun;
And to dream
or The sights that should soon greet his eye;
When unseen,
From the green
Of "a limb
Above him,
On his head.

Trunks OF Delinquent Guests.

Nearly one hundred old trunks of sill
sorts and sizes and covered with labels.
moldy valises in all degrees of corpu-
lence or collapse. odd tin boxes tied
with stout cords. hampers and brown
paper parcels were carried from the
store of the Continental Hotel the
other day and piled on the floor Of the
auction rooms of Van Tassel 4 Kearney
in East Thirteenth Street. Tiey rep
resented part of a years accumulation
Of unpaid hotel bills. A large tin
trunk-shaped box was plainly OF foreign
make, and Indicated that its owner had
come to America on a venture, and be-
fore the end of his first New York hotel
experience had found his purse empty.
He had gone 10 humber quarters and
left his trunk ''until called for" Some
of the trunks were strongly made and
heavily packed. One or two were of
sole leather, and apparently Of high re-
s~pectability. Some of the satchels
looked as il they held no more than \
"dickey' or collar. Others bulged.
When the a%uctiOneer mounted a large
trunk a little crowd of spectators
gathered close about him. As the
number of a trunk was called some
would-be purchaser would lift one end
10 take its weight and Judge of its prob
able value. The bids were extremely
good. ranging from one dollar to fifteen
dollars for q trunk, according to its
size, style and weight The valises and
paper parcels were knocked down three
or four at a time, and the BUYERS.

KEEPING ANGoRA GoATs.-Joseph P.
Devine, stock-rsiser in Texas, writes as
follows to the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, Boston There are
millions of acres of rocky, hilly under.
growth of live oak in western Texas and
other States also. that will not support one
sheep to twenty acres, one COW to forty
acres, or one horse to fifty acres in other
words, that are utterly worthless for any
use on Gods green earth except for goats.
Now if there IS good and sure sale for mo-
hair, there is no doubt but the common
goat can be made to produce, in five or six
removes, fleece equal to any pure blood
hair in luster and length, and in weight far
more, by breeding from pure-bred billy
every time and always. To sum up the
advantages of goats over other stock, they
can be herded with perfect safety and
to advantage in hocks of 2 600 /;
for l now have one herd of
. 600 graded Angoras, herded by one
Mexican. They can be located in summer
eight miles from their watering place, and
drink once in three days, returning to camp
the same oay-a great item in this dry
country they can be raised and thrive hest
on land worth from Is to 25 cents per acre;
they are subject to no disease whatever
that 1 know of /; they will protect them
selves, that is the grown, against wolves or
dogs; and last, but not least, they come
home five times in six if lost on the range.
Then there is not more agreeable or pret.
tier pursuit in the world than raising An
CORA goats. That you may not think l am
too partial to Angoras, allow me to say I
am breeding cattle, horses, and have 8. 400
head of merino ewes and if | had little
more encouragement as to the future of the
Angora-namely, regular sale and fair
price for hair of first quali'y-I would, il
forced to give up all my interest in stock
except one, keep my pretty, intellgen:
and valuable Angoras, and let sheep, hogs,
etc, go to grass.
