Pianos and organs are becoming
common at farm houses. This is all
right, as farmers daughters have as
much right to the refined accomplish
ments as city ladies. But in addition to
music, farmers daughters ought to
know how to wash, iron. cook a good
meal, make bread, make shirts and
| dresses, and then the man who marries
her gets fortune, whether she has
money or not.-IotUa State Register.

A Hazardous Undertaking.

At the mill of Palmer Brothers,
PalmcrStown, Conn.,, the other day, an
attempt was made to put belting on a
large wheel, fourteen feet in diameter
and in order to get the belt in position
several of the employees got on the
spokes of the wheel to turn it. Itwas
found impossible to get power enough
an this way, and accord ngly the engine
was started before it was noticed That
one OF the hands was still on the wheel.
His pcrilous position was quickly per-
ceived and scene of the greatest ex,
citement ensucd. The unfortunate man
owes his life TO the presence of mind
which he displayed. Had he,attempted
TO jump from the wheel his deathrwould
have been inevitable, hut he cliti ! to-
one of the spokeS with both hands and
feet as the revolut oas of the great
wheel, with its sweep of fifty feet, car
ried him first TO the ceiling and then to
the basement of tho mill. The great
difficulty was in stopping the engine so
that the wheel wolld be in q position
which would allow him to extricate him
self, but this was accomplished after
quite number OF trials. s.-Hautord

How Berries arc Sent to Market.

For three hours or more every after

has his desk ut a stand by post on the
long, covered platform. Zone woman

ried it on successfully since 1859 Here
he makes out his bills. AS fast as the
farmers drive up each agent knows at o
glance which is his man, and he and the
clerks in his employ step to the front and
receive the crates as they are set out.
Small boys stand ready with tacks and
tack-hammers to nail on each crate the
printed card in conspicuous lettering of
the firm to which it is to be consigned in
the city, after which o strong force is at
hand to pick up the marked crates and
stow them away in the cars. They are
set up and down in the car in orderly
rows, leaving Il paSsageway between,
each commission firms fruit being
placed by itself, in order to facilitate
easy distribution when it reaches its
destination. Most Of the crates are
packed with quart boxes, and hold from
thirty to forty quarts each; n few prefer
pint boxes, thinking they ship in better
condition. Some growers manufacture
their own crates during the season when
there is slack work on the farm; q few
agents manufacture and supply crates
to those shipping through them; others
arc brought here from elsewhere. The
most motley array imaginable is collect
ed around the station as the afternoon
advances and the hour for sending off
the train approaches. Queer vehicles of
every description are seen coming in
from all directions; one might think o
travelling menagerie was coming into
town. Small loads are brought up in
top-carriages, with the family occupying
the front seat; big farm wagons, Of
every conceivable shape, size and color,
come numbering up, driven by men in
straw hats as big as a cart wheel, boys

The writer Of an editorial article pub
llshcd in q recent issue Of an Italian
newspaper called the SCniiHeNc 6M .RiUi,
asserts that Garibald was slain ut AS
promontc, and has, ever since that fatal
Gay, been lmperSonatcd by u IivOrncSc,
WSOSc resemblance to him was u matter
OF public notoricty for some years be-
fore the Generals death. 1t is further
alleged that the late King Victor Eman-
ucl must he held responsible for the sub
stltution in question, an eXrcaicnt of
his own suggestion for avcrting down
right breach between the Garbaldian
faction and the dynasty. Several of tho
real Garbald1s fellow campaigners in
Uruguay have ut different times testified
publicly to the hoax thus practiced upon
the Italian nation, but to no purpose,
although their allegations have been
uniformly supported by indisputable
physical evidence.
They point, for instance, to the facts
that Gariba!diS hands and feet were
small and finely formed, while those OF
his impersonator were large and i'll
shaped--that the former could scarcely
write his own name while the latter
was skilled and fluent pcnman. This
impoSture," observes the writer, "ac-
counts for the unconceacd antipathv
entertained by Menoti and Ricciotti
Garibaldi toward their dead fathers inn
personator whom Menoti could never
meet without breaking out into abusive
language, while Ricciotti, although resi-
dent upon the island of Caprera, stead
fastly declined to cross the impostor's
Threshold" 1t is worthy of mention
that the Famfwlla, an organ of the Ital-
ian Government, denounces the above
mentioned article in good round terms,
but, nevertheless, r0produces it in it's
