A MOney-Making Memory

George Harding. ESQ.,. the distin-
guished Philadelphia patent lawyer, is
remarkable for retentive memory.
On Saturday Mr.. Harding rode down
to Wall street, New York in Broad way
omnibus. A beautiful young lady got in
and handed fifty cents to the attorney,
requesting him to please hand it to the
driver.
"With pleasure" said Mr.. Harding, at
the same time passing the fifty cents up
through the hole to the stage man.
The driver made the change and
handed forty cents back to Mr.. Harding,
who quietly put it away into his vest
pocket and went on reading a moving
machine brief.
Then all was silence.
The young lady began TO look nervously
at Mr.. Harding for her change, Can
it be possible that this is one of those
polite confidence men we read of in
books?" she thought to herself.
Then she looked up timidly and asked
Mr.. Harding something about the
Brooklyn Ferry.
ooh, the boats run very regular-ev-
cry three minutes" replied the inter-
rupted la, yer, trying to smile. Then
he went OH reading his brief.
''Do the boats run from Wall street to
Astorja?' continued the young lady.
II don't know, madame" replied Mr..
H., petulantly; "l'm not a resident &
New York; Pm a PhiladeI phian."
"Ah! yes "-(then a silence).
Mr.. Harding again buried himself in
his brief, while the young lady ahemed,
and asked him what the fare was in the
New York stages.
"Why, ten cents, mad ame-ten cents
"But gave you fifty cents to give to
the driver" interrupted the young lady,
Sand"
Didn't lie return your change? Is it
possible? Here driverw the lawyer
continued dropping the brief and pull
ing the strap violently, "whv the dick.
ems don't you give the lady her forty
cents?"
II did give her the change. I gave
forty cents to you, and you put it in
your pocket" shouted back the driver.
"Tome ?" said Mr.. Harding, feeling in
his vest pocket, from which his fingers
brought out fourteen. cent pieces. "Gra-
cious goodness, madame! beg 900 par
dons; but-but-"
"Oh never mind" said The lady eye
ing him suspiciously; 'you know q lady
in wicked city like New York has to
look out for herself. 1t is no matter-it
wasn't the forty cents; bnt before left
home mother cautioned me against po-
lite confidence men, who look 80 good
outside, but"
Goodness gracious! my dear woman!'
exclaimed Mr.. Harding, while all the
passengers eyed him with suspicion. II
assure VOll-'
But the stage stopped and the young
lady, holding fast to her portemonnaie,
got out and fed into the Custom House,
while Mr.. Harding went on filling up in
this form:
Goodness gracious! Did you ever?
. Lord! what shall do?" etc.
The lawyer got so excited that he went
back to Philadelphia in a hurry. He
even forgot to take big fee in now
ing machine case. He says he'd rather
pay SIC, 600 than to let the Philadelphia
fellows get hold of the ry,-Philadel-

Sorghum for Stock.

The evidence in favor of sorghum as a
valuable crop to lie grown for feeding to
stock is accommodating. It has some de.
cided advantages as soiIing crop. 1t
can be drilled safely even earlier in the
season than can corn; in fact, some
practice drilling the seed late in the au-
tumn so as to secure the earliest p,acti-
cable growth in spring. It is relished
by most if not all kinds Of stock when
fed green. Contrary to what might be
supposed, it seems to be valuable for
winter feeding when cured as is ordl.
nary corn fodder. In some trials horses
are reported to have shown themselves
especially fond of it. The plant we'll de-
serves more extended trial in these d.
rections. The amber is one of the ear
lest kinds, but the orange is consider
ably more productive. One or two
kinds have been introduced which have
the property of suckering profusely,
probably adding to their value as forage
plants. Any of the varieties, ifcut early,
will make fair second growth.-Breed-

means something different from what it
did few years ago, when, with as
much money rs a bachelor now
spends for necessities, family could
live comfortably, dress we'll and be in
society. 1t should he needless to re-
mind women that marriage is no cheap
luxury nowadays. TO hire a house in u

to be called comfortable living salary :;

every bachelor with conjugal tendencies
would like to, but not one in fifty is in
condition to try. Some few are so reck.
less as to wed girls rash enough to marry
for love, but they must live eit!er on
the brides parents or in retirement. So
the bachelor lives in solitude, works
hard and by the time he is rattle old to
marry finds himself rich enough to take

Milk Better Than Meat,

The habit Of drinking milk with food
in lieu of water, as have many country
people In warm weather, is not consid-
cred wholesome, from the fact that milk
in and of itself, is food and should be

introduce milk more largely into their
diet to take the place Of meat (and flesh

The Potato.

The potato, says Peter Henderson,
like all robust growing vegetables, can
be grown with varying success on soils
of all kinds and in all conditions Of fer
tilitv, but the soil rest suited to it is a
sandy loan. in all heavy coils it is more
subject to disease, and the flavor is much
in erior. In breaking up good pasture
land the decaying sod answers sufficient
ly well for the first year in lieu of ma
nure. Manure is applied either in rows
or hills or BROADCAST over the hills and
plowed in, the latter in most cases being
preferable. In highly enriched soil the
plants are more liable to disease than
when grown in soil that is naturally
good. The best fertilizers are those Of
q dry or absorbent nature, as plaster,
lime, superphosphate of lime; and bone
dust. For wet soil these are particular
ly beneficial. as they not only promote
growth but preventdisease. Plant early
in spring as the ground can be had in
working order, in hills or ridges, about
three feet apart, covering in light, warm
soils about four inches deep, but in cold,
wet situations two and half or three
inches will be sufficient.

A Mysterious Shot.

A5outs11 o'clock last night the people in
the vicinity of Eighth and Jackson streets
heard a shot fired, apparently in the direc-
ton of the old Oaks place, on the north
east corner of jackson and Eighth streets,
and Immediately woman was heard to
say: There, you've shot nae at last" Of
fcer De Corsey was on lower Seventh
street when he was informed of the shot
having been fired, and he hurried up to
the spot, and Officer Hanft,
who was on Jackson street,
also hurried up there, and both went to
work to find out about the shooting. Ser
geant Morgan also joined in the effort.
They went over to the Oaks house, which is
occupied by Pat Stanley, who keeps a
boarding house there. Stanley told long
story about tall woman dressed in black
standing on jackson street, with her face
partially concealed, watching house on
the opposite side with great earnestness.
This woman, he says, remained there
some time, and after the shot was
fired, suddenly disappeared and seemed to
infer that she was the person who did the
shooting. Other parties were interviewed
all around the neighbornood, and all that
could be learned was that shot was fired
and some one was evidently hurt. The
officers followed the matter up till
o'clock this morning, but found nothing
more, and finally abandoned the affair.
