r,vo cuineas and Four Men.

New York World.
Four gentlemen were seated AZ .
table in the smoking room OF the steam-
er Alaska. of 1.-THE Guion line, on her re-
cent remarkable trip across. The sea
was running heavy, and the smoking
"am stsward found it q delicate matter
to place a glass and q bottle before each

complimentary ginger ale otherwlse.than
m his head. The conversation turned
on the extraordinary good speed the
steamer was making, and led to a bet.
IN lowering" the wager of a sovereign
mon a trivial matter. one OF the TOUR
aantlemen took from his purse q guinea
r. Tie reign of William and Mary.
HThere are only two OF them in exist
ancen he said proudly, land this piece
10 worth a hundred times its face value.
Had I the other, the collection OF two
would be SIMPLY invaluable to numis-
He laid it on the table as he spoke,
and in a moment after the coin had dis
anneared. Nobody saw it fall or glide
of the table. Nobody saw anybody else
take it. Its owner searched nigh and
low: his three companions ana h
steward helped him. No other per.
sons we're in the compartment, and
vet the coin could not be found.
These four men had been strangers to
each other when the voyage began.
They had been five days out, and were
rapidly nearing port. The owner OF the
valuable coin was inconsolable, suspicious
and profane by turns:
..I'H tell you what is the best thing to
do" said one of the party. The coin
is not on the floor; it can not have
rolled through the ceiling. Somebody
here must have it. Let all OF US be
searched"
All agreed but one gentleman, who
had hitherto said nothing. He positively
/ refused to suffer such an indignity. When
it was suggested to him that where all
Others agreed no single person ought to
object, he simply declined, made his
bow, took his drink alone and lett for his
stateroom.
The good ship Alaskasploughed on to
her sixth day, and Just after her com.
plotting it Fire Island was sighted. The
gentleman who had srefused' to be
| searched had been put in coventry; the
three others who had sat at the table
with him had unanimously suspected
him.
But Just as the pilot came aboa d the
Alaska the gentleman who had lost the
| guinea found it sticking in the sole of his
| boot, where it had been wedged ever
| since he had first displayed it. He was
| overjoyed at his discovery and anxious
to make amends for his unjust suspic.
ions.
"But," said he, to the gentleman who
had refused to be searched, why on
earth did you not agree as we all did to
| such a simple test? That would have
settled the matter instantly"
"No, it wouldn't" answered the other,
"Why not?"
Because (oroducing his pursel there
is the only other coin o; the kind in the
world-same date, same color, worn the
same! That is the reason | refused to
be searched, for nothing on earth would
have made yon believe this was not your
" coin had you not been SO lucky as
TO recover it."
AS the Alaska steamed into port a so.
cial glass removed all traces of unpleas.

FARM AND HOUSE.
Storing Potatoes.

Potatoes should not be stored in large
heaps. or bins, and these should permit
free ventilation. To fill these condi-
tions potatoes may be kept in a vegeta-
BILE cellar, for vegetables should not be
kept in a cellar under a living room; but
if 30 kept it will be safer to store them
in barrels, or bins not mora than three
feet deep 80 that they can be inspected
frequently. But if the crop is very large
and is intended for the spring market,
it will. perhaps, be cheaper and safer to
store them in piles or holes, covered
with earth, in the primitive way, About
SO bushels Of potatoes may be piled in q
conical shape, as steep as they will lie.
This should be covered with a good coat
Of straw, and on this ten inches Of earth
should be placed; or better If dry saw
dust can be procured, that four inches
Of this be spread over the earth cover
ing, which may be reduced six inches.
The pile should now be covered with
corn fodder, or with boards, SO as to
keep it dry.

An Energetic Boy,


Capt. belongs childhood showed the
man, When a mere boy he exhibited
the same persistnent energy in securing
a cadetship in the Naval Academy as
he did while commander of the unfor-
tunate polar expedition in which he lost
his life.
When scarcely twelve years old he
read the naval exploits of the war of
lSl2. The heroism of the young Off
GERS kindled his ambition, and he Begged
his parents to let him enter the navy.
They refused, and he yielded, for a
time, to the authority of these he loved,
But three or four years after, during the
civil war, he surprised his father. one
day, by saying
II want to 90 to the Naval Academy.
You say you will not assist me; but if |
OBTAIN an appointment myself. will Won
give me- your consent and allow me to
enter?!" W

laughing at what he thought n bows

such a ieat, | will make no further Oh

The mother also gave her consent.
thlrklngthat the best way to cure him oi
MS passion was to let him fail in irving
to crafty it. lynn
Encouraged by his success With his

Cheap and EMcient Filter.

Very many families desire some mex
pensive device for tiltering rain and
other waters to be used for cooking and
table use. A cheap and very efficient
filter may be made by using a spirit or
wine cask, placing it on end with the
head removed, and having a faucet at
the bottom to draw off the clear water.
To fit it for a filter, take the removed
top head of the cask, and with a small
bit bore holes all OVERT, then place four
clean bricks or blocks OF wood on the
bottom, and on these rest the perfora-
ted top. Now fill upon it about four inch
es of charcoal chopped into small bits
the size of peas, and over this put a lay
er of sand six inches deep. Impure
water poured into the cask on top of the
sand will become clear and sparkling
alter a little while, or as Don as all fine
particles are worked out of the charcoal
and sand. This filter will not need re-
newing oftener than once in two or
three months.-Populas Scien ce

of ribbon, and under these, allowing it

An unglazed terra Gotta vase may be
made very beautiful in ths following

can be easily saturated by placing a vase

Farming Notes.

The virtue of carbolic acid in destroy
ing the insects alive or in the egg or
germ state is becoming better understood
by farmers and fruit growers, and is no
doubt destined to lse a valuable agent in
pests with which the orchard and gar
den are annually infested.
A pretty bag to hold cards is made by
taking two squares of pasteboard of the
same SIZE and covering them with satin
on the upper part of the outside one,
put on a lid of velvet or plush; finish
the edge with a cord and hang by mar
row ribbons. The back need not be
covered with satin; silesia If the same
color can be used. The bag should be
lined.
Ifturnips are fed to COWS Immediately
after milking they will give no unpleas-
ant flavor t o the milk. The food is
eaten, digested and passed offbefore the
bulk of the milk is secreted in the bag.
Even onions may be fed to COWS without
favoring the milk if given long enough
before milking.
Cows which are to give milk through
the winter says the American Agricul-
turist, needle be fed with special care at
this time. II possible the flow Of milk
must not be permitted to decrease.
Mangels and sugar beets are excellent,
n In slices and sprinkled with bran.
The rule that good feeding brings good
manure, should be kept in mind in a
l%udicious care of farm animals during
winter. Good feed in abundance is not
enough; it should be given with regular

have the same' appetites. 1t is import

food encourages h%ealtnful digestion, aud
upon this the profits of the owner large
ly depend.

How 70 Grease /. Wagon Wheel.

The Coach Makers Magazine endor-
ses the statement that few people are
aware that they do wagons and car
riuges more injury by greasing too plen-
tifully than in any other way. A we'll
made wheel will endure constant wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of grease; but if this matter is
not attended to, it will be used up in
five or six years. Lard should lever
be used on a wagon for it will penetrate
the hub, and work it's way out around
the lemons of the spokes, thus spelling
the wheel. Tallow is the best l%ubricator
for wooden axletrees, and castor oil for
iron hubs, but many of the patent axle
greases are also excellent, and have the
merit IF being cheaper and more con-
venient to handle. Just grease enough
should be applied to- the spindle Off
wagon to give it slight coating. THIS
is better than more, for the surplus put
on will work out at The ends, and be
forced by the shoulder bands and nut
washer into the hub around the outside
of the boxes. To oil al iron aXletree.
first wipe the spindle clean, wet with
spirits of turpenline, and then apply q
few drops of castor oil hear the shoulder
and end. One t%easpoonful is sufficient
for the whole.
