Saved From the GuillOtine.

During the French revolution
feuilletoniste named Schlaberndorf, who
possessed considerable ability as a
writer, by heartily espousing the cause
of the Girondists in all that emanated
from his pen, rendered himself obnoxious
to Robespierre, and at the dictation of
that fierce leader was incarcerated.
When the death-cart, one morning,
came to the prison for its load of those
who were that day to be mercilessly
butchered, Schlaberndorf's name was on
the list of the victims. The iailer in
formed him that such was the case, and
he dressed himself fer his last ride very
nonchalantly and-he was extremely
fastidious as to his personal appearance
with great care. His boots, however,
he could not find. Here, there, every
where. assisted by the jailer, he looked
for them to no avail.
GO am quite willing to be executed"
said he to the jailer, after their fruitless
search, "but really should be ashamed
to go to the guillotine without my boots.
Nor do I wish to detain this excursion
party" smiling grimly. "Will it make
any difference if my execution is
deferred till tomorrow By that time I
shall probably succeed in finding my
boots" 81 don't know that it will
matter particularly when you are
guiliotined, responded the functionary.
"Suppose we call it tomorrow, then ?"
"AH right" and the jailer allowed
Schlaberndorf to remain, not I'M
willingly, as, owing to his universal
good humor, he was especially liked by
iailer and prisoners.
The following mG,-LEs5r when the
cart drew up before the prison door for
its " batch F" of victims, Schlaberndorf-
dressed pie-stood waiting the
summons of the jailer to take his place
therein. But his name was not called
that morning, nor the next nor the
fourth, nor, indeed, ever again. For, of
course, it was believed he had persisted
on the original morning. Till the sway
of Robespierre had ended he remained
in prison then he regained his liberty,
as did the rest of those, once prisoners,
whose heads had not fallen beneath

THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS.

There was no piece of news last week
which touched each of our readers so
nearly as the recent sudden rise IN pro-
visions. Whether these high prices for
beef are due, as alleged, to the whole
sale destruction of cattle in the western
SHOWS of the winter of 1879, or to the
speculation of few dealers, really mat
tiers nothing to the individual buyer, as
he can affect neither the one cause nor
the other by anything which he can do.
He has his personal remedy in his own
hands, however, which is, not to buy
the meat. Recourse to that simple ex-
pedient by the great mass of household
ers of moderate means for a week or
two will soon bring down the rates.
1t seems the barest of platitudes to
advise man to do without a thing as
q resource for not being able to get it.
But meat has come to be most unrea-
sonably considered by many Americans
as the staff of life. The average house
holder actually does not know that
there are articles which supply precise
ly the same kind and amount of nutri-
ment to the human body as the flesh of
ANIMALS. The present is suitable time
for the study by him of these useful
facts in dietetics. The cheaper cuts of
beef and mutton, too, are quite as ap-
petizing and nutritious as the choice
parts, if little more attention and
skill be given to their preparation for
the table. Some of the most delicious
plates of the French cook are made of
those portions which the American
housewife would reject with scorn from
her Iarder. There are many house
holds, too, where oatmeal, fish, and the
leguminous Yegetsbies are scarcely
known. Yet there are whole races of
men, sturdy and long-lived men, too,
who have been reared on these articles
of food instead of meat. The present
prices, annoying as they may be, will
have their use if they force the lavish,
reckless American consumer into learn
ing these long-neglected lessons in do
mestic economy. York Tribune.

Making Hay Without Sunshine.

Mr.. r. Nelson, who occupies farm
on the estate of the Earl of Derby, near
Liverpool, it appears, has solved the
problem of making hay when the sun
does not shine. Ina pamphlet recently
issued by the Field, Mr.. Nelson tells
British farmers in particular and other
farmers in general how for years he has
succeeded, in spite of abnormal seasons,
in harvesting and storing his crops
without material damage.
The method employed by Mr.. Nelson,
according to this farmers own account,
consists in utilizing the heat which is
generated in damp stacks in curing
the produce. This is accomplished by
forming in the middle of the stack
hollow space, which communicates by
means of a damper arrangement with
an air passage formed of earthenware
pipes laid in the ground beneath the
stack and carried to point some little
distance away. The outlet here is closed
by means of a revolving fan. A series
of stacks may be made to communicate
with the same air-passage, and the fan
may be worked by horse or steam power,
according to the amount of mechanical
energy required.
The spontaneous heat of the stack is
tested by means of a thermometer in
serted in tube which penetrates con-
- Il TnHN cto
when the combustion point is ap-
preached the fan is set to work. The
air and steam collected in the interior
cavity and passage are thus exhausted
and cool air forces its way through the
stack on all sides to fill the vacuum re-
cesses, carrying with it from the stack
the superintendent moisture. The fan
is kept at work until the stack is suffi-
GENTLY cooled, and the operation is re-
peated until the hay is thoroughly cured.
The most difficult part of the under
taking is to preserve an approximately
equal degree of pressure throughout
the stack, otherwise the cool air will
force its way through the points of least
resistance and the denser portions OF the
stack will be likely to become mouldy
or charred.
As regards the quality of the fodder
cured, according to the pamphlet in
question, the hay made in the shade is
better than the sun dried hay. The ap-
pliances, it is said, involve little outlay
and the process is not protected by any
patent rights.

GOOD BYE. PROUD WORLD.
BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON IN 1881

WRITTEN BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON IN 1889
Good bye, proud world I'm going home;
Thou art not my friend; and l am not thine
Too long through weary crowds roam
A river ark on the ocean brine;
Too long am tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world, I'm going home
Good bye to Flattery's fawning face,
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye,
To supple office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go and those who come,
Good bye, proud world, I'm going home.
go to seek my own hearth stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone;
A secret lodge in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned,
Where arches green the lIvelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay,
And evil men have never trod
A spot that is sacred to thought and God.
oh, when 1 am safe in my sylvan home,
mock at the pride of Greece and Romei
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star SO holy shines,
laugh at the lore and pride of man.
At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
For what are they all in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet

Justice for DOmest.lcs.

The Chicago Times does Justice in
the following paragraph to many 6
worthy girl in most important calling
which is too frequently made the sub
lect of thoughtless ridicule and mlsrep-
resentation considering the large
amount of valuable property left in
charge of servant girls by women who
devote much time to shopping, visiting
and pleasure seeking, it seems remark
able that cases of theft are not more
frequent than they are. We hear about
as many banks being robbed by high
salaried officials as we do of houses be-
ing robbed by poorly paid servant girls
who are left in charge of them. The
temptations set before domestics are
many and are very generally resisted.
Servant girls do not unite IN general
strikes for shorter hours or higher
wages, or for both, as persons do who
are engaged in most kinds of work. As
class they are conscientious, honest
and upright. They form the most USE
full body of persons III the community.
If their services were better appre-
ciated they would, in most cases, be
better performed. What Is more,
better class of girls would prefer work
ing Ill private houses to working In
shops, stores and large manufactures.

How Cinnamon Can Go.

The other day three boys were seen
turning the corner of Third and South
b streets and going at the rate of 2, 900
miles per moment. They looked wild,
and their eyes hung out on their cheeks
like a loose button on barn door.
Eretty soon a man who saap,ad to boyo
dressed himself in q hurry, CANE -
the same corner at still higher .ate 81
| speed. He was bareheaded and his hair
was down. 1t strung out behind in a
long tail, for he was a Chinaman. 1t
was Hong Lee, the head of the Chinese
legation at Laramie City.
These boys had just thrown a stone
through the window of the pagoda on B
street, where Hong Lee ruins white
shirts at two bittee each.
These boys fled into the rear of the
Windsor livery stable and tried to con-
ceal themselves in the manger of stall,
under some hay, but Mr.. Lee arrived
at that moment, with his mouth open
clear back to his obIongata.
1t Is generally conceded that the
Ohlnese must go, but very few can
realize until they have seen it demon
strated just how fast they can go when
they get excited.
Hong Lee entered the stall where
these young Caucasians were partially
concealed, and gave them a specimen of
pagan chastisement that made their
ears ring.
1t is generally believed that the
Chinaman will not frateruize with us.
and that he does not readily learn our
customs, but one of those boys told his
mother, as he stood mp to his supper
the other evening, that the diabolical
and deadly effect of the Monaghan
spank was destined at no distant day to
usurp the place now occupied by the
American mother, or he was no judge. =
