Baby and Jack.
the chic,oo Tr;bnpe

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t has been going on for a year past.
Jack is a carrier for one of the dailies.
and his circuit takes in a house on
Scott street. One day last spring a baby
crowned at him from IN open door on
that street, and Jack tossed an apple in
to the hall. The next day the baby was
watching for him and after three or
four days the boy made bold to slip up
the steps and pat the little chap Oil the
head and leave the stick of candy he
had purchased two miles away. As
time went on Jack came to know that
the baby was fatherless, and that it's
mother was pale-taced and hardly able
to drag about. 1t was weeks before she
spoke to him, but the baby took to Jack
right away and was always ready for his
coming. After the first week it was al
ways clean-faced, but it was a good
while before Jack reused up courage to
give him a kiss and to ask for one in re-
turn. After that it was plain sailing, and
the neighbors became interested. 1t
was queer enough that a boy like Jack,
having his own way to make and rough
ing it until he had become suspicious
and hard hearted, should catch on to a
little whitehead, and be more than a
big brother to him, but that Was what
appened.
And something more. One day lie
brought up a quarter of a pound Of tea
and LETT it where the mother would find
it, ard this was followed by other par
GELS and articles. One day he missed
the baby and crept into the hall to find
that he had cried himself to sleep and
that the mother was i'll and helpless.
Jack reused up the neighbors, and what
ever was eaten in that house for the
next two weeks was purchased with
Jacks money. The mother could only
thank him and weep. She could not
speak ten words of English.
A fortnight co., Jack missed baby
again, and again he found the mother
ill. Friends were with her this time and
she did not suffer for care. A week ago
there was Grape IN the door as the car
rier went his round, and baby had been
carried off by a neighbor. When Jack
came a und next day the mother had
been buried and people were watching
to tell him that the house was to be va
Gated and baby was to go to a distant
city. He had been brought back to bid
the carrier goodbye, and the poor and
lowly people drew off with tears in their
eyes, and Jack sat on the door-steps and
took baby in his la and smoothed his
white head and kissed his red cheeks.
Baby chung around his neck and seemed
to realize that he was to lose a friend,
and, as who stood by expressed it:
"Then baby cried and Jack cried, and
the women put their aprons up and
sobbed like children. When they final
ly took the child away Jacks heart was
big enough to break, and throwing his
arms around the little chap for the last
time he turned and ran away and never
looked back"

How to Get a Farm from Uncle Sam.

Mr.. II. A. Haigh describes in full
in the American Agriculturist for
April the four methods of obtaining
land from Uncle Sam, from which we
clip the one by tree planting.
There are four principal methods
Of acquiring land from the Govern
men., namely, homesteading, pre-
emption, tree-culture and purchase.
The timbeT-culture act is liberal in
its provisions. Under it any person
may get farm Of 100 acres or less.
He may do this, and also acquire
title to another 100 acres, under the
homestead or presumption law, but
he cannot make use Of both the home
stead and presumption methods, ex-
cept in the Territories, nor can he
use either Of those methods twice.
If the tree-claim contains the maxi
mum entry Of 100 acres, at least five
acres must be plowed within one year
from the date Of entry; the second
year five acres must be cultivated
and another five acres plowed; the
third year the first five acres must
be planted in timber, seeds or cut
tings land second five acres cultivated;
the fourth year the second FIVE acres
must be planted in timber, seeds or
cuttings, making at the end of the
fourth year ten acres thus planted.
These must be carefully cultivated
and protected for four years more,
at the end Of which time, on making
due proof that at least 200 trees
were planted on each acre, and at the
time Of making proof at least 675
thrifty trees are growing upon each
acre, patent for the land may be
obtained. Perfect good faith must
be observed. If the trees, or any
ofthem, are destroyed one year, they
must be replanted the next. If
grasshoppers or drouth destroy the
trees, seeds or cuttings, for one year
or term of years, the time for plant
ing is extended one year for every
year that they are so destroyed. The
Land Office fee for entry Of 1860 acres
is Sl4. Only Western prairie and
treeless lands may be taken by this
method. The trees planted must be
those properly called timber trees
and among these the cottonwood is
recognized.

STEAMED Brown BREAD.--One
quart Of Indian meal, one pint Of rye
flour; stir these together and add
one quart Of sweet milk, one cup OF
molasses, two teaspoonfuls of soda ;
add little salt, and steam for four
hours.
SALAD,--When you cannot obtain
celery for salad--and this is some
times the case-cabbage may be used
instead, with the extract of celery
for favoring or celery salt may be
used. Choose the firm, white part
of the cabbage, and chop it fine.
A CURE FOR CoRNs. Take one
fourth of cup Of strong vinegar ;
crumble in some bread let it stand
half an hour, or until it sottens into
a good poultice. Then apply, on re-
firing at night. In the morning the
soreness will be gone, and the corn
can be picked out. If the corn is a
very obstinate one it may require
two or more applications to effect a
cure.
Wooden barrels are now converted
into tasteful resting places for pet

of some six or seven inches from the

flowers and afterwards vanished.
A padded lining of pretty cretonue,
and a circular cushion made to fit,
completes the whole.

Walking Dresses.

The new suits for walking are mar
rover than ever as to the foundation,
but draperies on them,. as on more dres-
sy toilets, are very bouhant. Paniers
are much worn, and the back of the
skirt is held out by a half hoop, run in
casing across the back breadths. Jcr-
seys are a Juror, of all coors, in wool
and in silk, for morning, afternoon and
evening Beaded Jerseys are very'stylish
indeed, beads continue on the top wave
of fashion, and fringcs, ornaments and
laces glitter with sparkling Jet of colored
beads. Sateen has become Il standard
material, and will be used to excess dur
ing the coming summer. Many new
styles are shown III these, and they are
among the prettiest things offered. OF
toman satins and twilled satins are new
this season, and the designs copy those
used for foulards and satins. In the
newest French satins, instead of the
white and dark backgrounds as affected
last year. terra Gotta, strawberry red and
partridge brown have taken their place,
and the designs are dots from the merest
speck to those an inch and half in
diameter, as well as lines, checks, discs,
etc. As pompons have been the rage
during the winter, so will dots most like
ly be popular in washing fabrics. Large
white balls nearly touching each other
are to be seen on the new pale blue, dark
green and red sateens,and the balls stand
out well in relief.

The cultivation of ric1 has spread
with wonderful rapidity in Louisiana,
and in the past ten years the produc,
ton of the State has doubled. There
are still millions of acres left unculti.
waited, just adapted to this crop. 1t
is the same story throughout the
South. There is no reason why the
South, and Louisiana in particular,
should not increase its production at
least tenfold. There is no damage
to be feared from an overflow, as with
cotton; no possibility Of loss from
a freeze, as with cane. The crop is
much earlier than sugar, and the
hands on the sugar plantations can
be employed to cut and harvest rice
(and this is the only important labor
needed on rice farm at time when
they have little or nothing to do with
the cane. There is no necessity for
machinery or any other expense usu.

THE CLARION.
House, FARM AND GARDEN
Agricultural Items.

America produces about one fourth
of the wheat grown in the world.
Good farming gives to each soil
and crop its proper filth. The stifFest
and poorest soils require the greatest
amount of tillage, yet even light
soils are rarely ovcr-cultiyated.
Much blowing and pulverizing of a
naturally light soil will not make it
more loose and open. but have the
contrary effect, making its natural
porousness less, and its density
greater. 1t is of course, possible to
have soil too bose, since it must
have a certain consistency to retain
moisture and support plants. BY
narrowing the light land while it is
still damp, and by heavy rolling as
it becomes drier, the necessary de-
gree of firmness may always be OBJ
tanned.
New York State farms have thus
far given quite conclusive evidence
in favor of the terminal portion OF
the potato tuber, so far as regards
certainty Of growth, early sprouting,
healthy vegetation and vigor.
A correspondent Of the Western
Rural recently sent sample ofsugar
bought at country store for good
cane sugar An analysis instituted
by that paper showed that 80 per
cent. of it was grape sugar (made
from corn, and worth about 4 cents
a pound), and it also contained large
quantities of sulphur. The chemist
pronounces it a vile compound.
Millet is an excellent fodder plant,
of which cows are exceedingly fond.
1t is warm weather crop, and needs
to be grown on light, sandy soil.
BY manuring well it may be made
to produce from two to five tons of
hay to the acre. A copious flow of
milk is produced by cutting the mil
let, sailing slightly, moistening, and
sprinkling with little meal.

Success in Life.
Cincinnati Trade List. I

CINCINNATI 1Iduc l1AhL.
Without unremftting labor, success in
life, whatever our occupation, is impossi-
bic. A fortune is not made without toll,
and money unearned comes to few. The
habitual loiterer never brings anything
to pass. The young men whom you see
lettering about waiting for the weather
TO change before they 90 to work, break
down before they begin-get struck be
fore they start. Ability and willingness
10 labor are two great conditions of sue
cess. 1t is useless to work an electrical
machine in vacuum, but the air may
be full of electricity, and still you can
draw no spark until you turn the
machine. The beautiful statute may
exist in the ARTISTS brain, and it may
also be said in certain sense to exist in
the marble block that stands before him,
but he must bring both his brains and
his hands to bear upon the marble,
and work hard and long, in order to pro-
duce any practical result. Success also
depends in "A good measure upon the
mans promptncss to take advantage of
the rise Of the tide. A great deal Of
what we call "luck" is nothing more nor
less than this. 1t is the man who keeps
his eyes open, and his hands out Of his
pockets that succeeds. 81 missed my
chance" exclaims the disappointed man,
when he sees another catch eagerly at
the opportunity. But something more
than alertncs5 is needed; we must know
how to avail Yourselves of the emergency.
An elastic temperament, which never
seems to recognize the fact of defeat, or
forget5 it at once and begins the work
over again, is very likely to insure sue
cess. Many great orator has made a
a terrible breakdown in his maiden
speech Many a merchant loses one for
tune only to build up another and a
larger one Many an inventor fails in
his efforts, and is at last rewarded with
"A splendid triumph. Some of the most
popular novclists wrote very poor stuff
in the beginning. They were learning
their trade, and could not expect to turn
out first-class work until their appren-
ticeship was over. One great secret of
success is not to become discouraged,
and always be ready to try again.

AN improved cotton buncher has
been patented by Mr.. James l..
Goodin, of Montgomery, Texas.
The invention consists of wheel to
roll along the rows of cotton and
crush down the plants, except in GER
tain places, where cavities in the
wheel leave the punches cf plants
that are to be preserved and cult
waited. The wheel is also provided
with knives or cutters at intervals
along its face, between the cavities,
for cutting and otherwise destroying
the plants and weeds between the
punches to be retained, and to pull
verize the soil. The wheel may be
used alone or in combination with
cultivators or plows at its side.
