Weeds In the Garden.

Every one has a garden called Conver.
sation. If the unpleasant words which
blossom into thoughts are kept out, ths
garden becomes beautiful and interest
ing. There are few kinds of weeds,
which unconsciously creep into this gar.
den, and unless they are put down, on
better, pulled out, they iniure and spoil
the good flowers.
/. Untruth. This is dark-leaved, and
so small at first that it is scarcely no
ticed. In its early stages it is called ex
aggeration. You are not sure whether
you saw three or four things and Won
say four. The next time the number
becomes larger, and so the weed grows
until it is strong and hardy. Be sure
and pull it up.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

OF all shares, pillow shares are the
most reliable. They always turn up
something.
When frying cakes, roll and cut out
all the cakes before you begin to fry
them, then you can get that attention to
the cooking upon which success de-
ponds.
Strawberries are much more prolific
when four or five different varieties are
planted together, although each variety
may be perfect one, than if but one
perfect variety were planted alone.
"A gentleman who recently rode
through ex-senator Dorseys cattle ranch
in New Mexico. says of it: ''It is forty
by sixty miles in size, and has on it 49,.
600 head of cattle and 1900 head OF
horses. The income from this place can
not be less than $1,000 for the present
season."
A good, cheap, quickly made corn
bread: Mix three large cups of corn
meal with one of wheat flour, a cup of
sour milk, two tablespoonful of molasses
and enough soda to remove aciditv, and
little salt Add enough sweet milk Cor
water may do) to make it as soft as you
would for soft gingerbread. Mix well and
bake fifty to sixty minutes.
1t is recommended, as an important
item in sheep husbandry, ''to separate
the ews whose lambs are intended for
market, and devote to them little spe-
cial care and attention. 1t will be evil
dent to every sheep farmer that this,
though it cost but trifle of either time
or food, will add many pounds and q
good fattening condition to the lambs.
"A fruit tree can not bear a very
heavy crop oftener than once in two wears
and in order to obtain an even bearing
tree the fruit should be thinned very freely
every year; this would secure not only
very even crops every year, but finer and
more superior fruit Birds. assist us in
this matter by picking off the blossoms.
Ihinningi is easily done if we obtain a
slender pole with a hook like knife at
tached, or even Goldfish hook, by which
the extra fruit could be easily cut out.
Handsome pillow-covers, or ssshams''
as they are sometimes called, are made
by taking, for the pair, eight hemstitched
Observation-Disclosures. Put them togeth-
er with bands of insertion of torchon,
Hamburg, or ric-rac, and trim the edge
to match. These covers will wash and
iron easily, which is great point gained,
unless one has an accomplished laund-
ress. Choose handkerchiefs of fine and
yet sufficiently heavy linen to make sure
that they will take starch well.

| Arabs then leaped into the pinnace with
drawn swords and dubbed guns. Al
their first volley they killed one of the
crew outright. MORALLY wounded a Sec
ond, and severely hurt two others. 1t
was, therefore, no difficult matter for
them to drive the remainder, unarmed as
they were, into the sea. Captain Brown
| rigg and his steward were in the after
part of the boat There was but single
| rifle on board. The Captain seized it and
shot one of the Arab boarders. Before he
could reload he was attacked from above
by the rest. He dubbed his weapon
and fought CALAMITY, but under the ter
rible disadvantage Of being below his as
sailants and half blinded with blood flow
ing from a severe wound in the forehead.
He was in the stern sheets, while the
Arabs were on the top of the canopy and
at the sides, so that he got at them with
difficulty, they at him with ease. For
twenty minutes the unequal contest went
on. As fast as the Captain knocked one
man over another took the vacant place.
At last the English officer fell, wounded
In twenty places, the coup being given
by bullet which pierced his heart. Dur
ing this sanguinary business Bishop, an
ordinary seaman badly wounded, was
supported to the dingy, astern of the
pinnace, by the stoker Venning (himself
shot in the leg), but the Arabs, hauling
their boat up alongside of the pinnace,
cut him over the head until he sank.
Massey, an able-bodied seaman, badly
wounded, was supported to the shore, a
distance of 700 yards, by two com.
rades. The account of the remainder
of the crew is thus made UP:
The second stoker swan ashore; so like.
wise did the interpreter and "writer."
There were then left ON board, as pre-
viously stated, the Captain and steward,
Genoese, who saved himself by falling
down and pretending to be dead. The
leading stoker remained in the water,
swimming about and keeping clear of the
assassins, and when the dhow sailed
away he scrambled on board the pinnace,
got up steam, picked up the men on the
beach, and took them and the dead Cap
tain toheadquarters at the Island of Penn
ba. A few days later the dhow was tax,
en-. In the scrimmage of capture one OF
the Arabs was shot. Eight others are in
custody, as is also the Captain. Full re-
ports have still to come in, though it is
understood that no papers were found in
the dhow, or anything to verify her ma
tionality. Captain Brownrigg was
brave and popular man in the service,
and his death is lamented in the region
where he had done so much useful work
and also at home. One cannot help feel
ing that there was a certain amount of
recklessness in not arming the crew. An
other notable thing is the fact that the
Winchester rifle is not used in the serv-
ice. Had Captain Brownrigg been armed
with this weapon he would most proba-
bly, have been alive now to describe its
deadly effect upon the treacherous Arabs.

An Encounter with Slave Dhow.

An English correspondent writes as
follows: The story Of the British fight
with slave dhow, flying French colors
is now officially and in detail before the
country. The affair was not an attempt
to capture the SLAYER; it was not a fiobt
at all, but massacre. The incident is
tragic episode of the work which Great
< britain performs as sort of naval police
In the forcible abolition of slavery. while
the murder of Captain Brownrigg and
the deaths OF the other brave fellows were
being lamented in England, retributiye
justice soon laid hands upon the dhow
ana the Arab assassins. It appears that
captain Brownrigg had long been en-
gagged off Zanzibar in the philanthro-
pic work of the government. He had
never boarded French dhows. but had
been in the habit of running alongside in
his pinnace to verify their papers. Other
dhows he had regularly boarded. Some
he had captured, releasing their living
cargoes. On this occasion, Dee. 8. he
only intended .squite cursory examina-
uon OF the dhow in question. He did
not even arm his boats crew. He went
alongside without hailing or stopping

his appearance at the theater to inquire
about the receipts. at is already nins

ing business are now beingI carried ON
by large corporations, which have caused
small villages to spring into existence
within the corporated limits of the city,
and therefore in my police district, to
properly guard such localities, an increase
of the police force is most urgently
demanded, especially at the following
places:
The machine shops of the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis s. Omaha Railway
company in the southwest portion of the
city, East st. Paul, AMI pillow works to
the harvester works. IN the northeastern
portion of the city, and from there south
ward to the Mississippi river, also the
Lake Como portion eastward to Oakland
cemetery and from Lake Como south
ward, east of Kittsondale, also to the
Mississippi river. All these places are
most persistent in their demand for an
increase of the police force, IN accord
ance to the business done in their re-
spective localities, and last, though not
least, is the increased demand of the
Sixth ward for better and more police
protection. To all these different bust
ness points it will not do to longer defer
a compliance with their very reasonable
requests for such police protection as we
can give under the charter. l earnestly
hope you will give to each and all of the

the giant Sequoias OF California. and
their great age, with wonder; but tn e
ages OF English trees compare with
them. There is yew tree at Brabourne,
in Kent, which was perhaps young

There are numbers of yew trees in Eng

900 years old. In days when the arrow
