A Sad Case.

"A Western paper is in receipt of a
short story from Chicago, which is so
full of misery that there is no fun in it
anywhere, but it is told as a warning to
ladies to be careful how they accuse SER
want girls of crime. A man from the
Chicago carpet company was sent to "a
house recently to put down a carpet,
and in the work it was necessary to re-
move large mirror, and in doing so a
beautiful breast-pin fell upon the carpet,
which the man gave to the lady of the
house. Instead of a smile of thankful
ness from the lady, which the man ex-
pected, the lady fell down on knees
sobbing and praying, and asking God
to forgive her for her injustice. The
man was paralyzed, and thought thewo-
man was crazy, but she explained to
him, as she put on her cloak to go down
town, that a servant girl had been ac-
cused of stealing the breast-pin, and
was serving a term in the penitentiary
for it.
The woman hustled down to her hus-
bands Office and showed the pin, and in
an hour, work was begun to release the
poor girl from prison, where she had
been for many months. Who can pic
ture the sufferings of that poor, honest
girl, in prison, serving a sentence for a
crime which she did not commit, and
who can realize the agony of the woman
who sent her there ? The paper trusts
hat the poor girl will have been released
before this is read, and that the wealthy
woman will amply reward her for the
she has endured. Such cases
ne too frequent in this world, where in
locence is made to suffer on circumstan-
-ial evidence.

Judge? I'd like to know what you
mean?
why, Mr.. Norton, your husband,
gave you a life estate in all his property,
and on your death the property goes to
his son John, and your children get the
village houses.
" "'And when die John Norton is to
have this house and farm whether 1 will
or no.
" just so. 1t will be his.
"'Then I amt going to die, said the
old woman in a clear and decidedly
ringing, healthy voice. And so saying
she threw her feet over the front of the
bed, sat up, gathered a blanket and
coverlid about her, Strengthened up her
gaunt form, walked across the room and
sat down in a great chair before the fire.
The doctor and l came home. That
was fifteen years ago. The old lady is
alive to-day. And she accomplished her
intent.
''She beat John after all. He died
four years ago in Boston, and I don't
know what will be left. But whoever
comes into the farmhouse when she
goes out, it will not be John. And since
Johns death the farm has been better
Kept, and everything about it is in vastly
better condition for strangers than it
would have been for john"

The WNDows.-A law forbidding
rumsellers to maintain such distractions
in their windows as will prevent free
view of the premises is on the Massa-
chusetts statute book, but in Boston it
is commonly disregarded. Some Pro-
hibitionists argue that to open these
places to public view increases the
temptation to drink. It is also said that
young persons who have not yet con-
tracted a strong appetite for alcoholic
liquors, and with it a loss of self-respect,
will go by hundred saloons that are
complying with the screen law to enter
one where they will be concealed while
taking their drink. As a rule, the
worst bar-rooms are those that obey the
law as to screens.

A Masher.

A young Englishman of fortune, a
masher, and also, iournalis is say, poet
and athlete, has gone off his head about
Mary Anderson, and pushes his passion
to eccentricity. He has had the pretty
fancy to pay court in the disguise of a
bard, and nightly, much to the diversion
of a crowd, he haunts the stage door in
a troubadour dress, with his flute for a
lutte. He never tells his love, but lets
detain him round the cor
ner till the lady trips forth to her car
riage, and then our pinchbeck Petrarch
strikes up the saddest serenade ever
heard outside a Handel festival. The
first night he started this demonstration
he advanced after the lamentation and
offered valuable bouquet, but the fair
Mary graciously declined, and now the
'ourtier simply kpeels as the lady drives |
fl, and breathes his soul in song.

Reformation First.

1 was invited to wedding the Other
evening, but could not go. The invita-
ton was extended by the groom in per-
son. He came in, and, having acted
shyly for moment, asked me to step
out in the hallway. There were no
other persons in the room. but I con-
sented. The gas was burning and he
turned it down. If I hadn't known him
as well as I did, I should have felt some
misgivings. Thus shaddowed he stated
his case at once. He said he was going
to be married. He had known her
long time, and they had both outlived
their foolishness. He had no doubt
about her. But he had been practicing
to be good himself.
Gone year ago, he said, 81 just con-
cluded not to drink nor run around
town at night. I never took any oath
or anything Of that sort. 1t got to be
kind of natural to me after that, and 1
didn't want to knock around. Then I
concluded ] would go to church. 1 had
not been in one for fifteen years. I
happened around one Sunday, and sat
lown just as quietly and naturally as a
leacon. When they got to singing I |
ound out that I had joined the chorus.
I've kept it up, and without restraint.
We're to be married tomorrow, and the |
little home is already fixed up and fur
lished."
He went away, and I stood watching
nm. There was no need Of the side
walk for him. His heart was so light
hat it might have buoyed his body
bove the earth. There was a genuine
eformation 1 would not be afraid to
e to.

A Homeless Crowd.

Chicago has cable cars that run a long
ways out. A conductor on that line
tells the story of a Fenian who took pas
sage on his train: sat Twelfth street. I
think, he got on and hung to strap,
patiently waiting for a vacant seat.
More people got on at Fourteenth,
Eighteenth, Twenty-third, and Forty
second streets, and not soul got of.
At Fifty-ninth street the man began to
be impatient, and when the Sixty--sev-
enth street station was reached and no
one showed disposition to move, he
could control himself no longer. TAX
ing up position from which he could
rake the car fore and aft, and with look
Of mingled pity and contempt, he ex-
claimed: 'Ye poor unfortunate vaga-
ponds Have nary one av yeez got q !
home to go to ?'"-1he Eye.

To Cook Snuash.

There is but one way to bring squash
to table in perfection, and that is the
way of a certain old lady who was ia
nous in her day for her natural art in
cookery. She cut up, peeled and boiled
the squash in salted water. When done
this must be tested with fork-she
first put the pieces in a colander, mash
ing and squeezing with a spoon to get
out all the water that might be extract
ed that way. Then she put the squash
into a clean cloth of texture coarse
enough to keep in the vegetable and
let out the water. She twisted up the
cloth, so manipulating it with hands
and spoon that she got the squash dry
enough to suit her. Then she restored
the squash to the fire in a porcelain
lined saucepan, and dressed it with pep
per, salt and liberal quantity of the
best butter. Thus prepared, squash
tastes and looks deliciously, and it is
only in this fashion that If can be made |
to do so. OF course it takes a good !
deal of the vegetable to make a reasona-
bic dishful, for the water, which usually |
under the hands of the average cook
makes more than half of the dish. is al
most completely extracted. It is anus
ing to see cooks taking half a dozen
slices of squash to make dish for a
lableful of people.

BAKED WEALTH.
A Farmer Puts His Fortune in an Oven and
Finds IL in n Pile of Ashes.

''Mr. Jacob Leib, farmer. of West
Millcreek, has been ruined by too much
precaution," says an Erie penn, } dis
patch. For the last month the villages
around Erie have been worked pretty
thoroughly by a gang of professional
burglars, the two leaders of whom have
been captured. Farmer Lieb is one of
those who believed a bird in the hand to
be worth two in the bush. He has never
deposited his savings in the bank, but
kept his money and valuables in a safe
at home, where the treasure would al
ways be under his eye.
The operations of the burglars in his
neighborhood convinced him that safes
do not always save, therefore he con-
cluded to be too cunning for the cracks
men. Removing his greenbacks, amount
ing to 5000, with notes, mortgages and
other valuable documents representing
as much more, he concealed them in the
oven of q parlor stove that is not gener-
ally used until the winter has fairly set
in. As an extra precaution he con-
cluded not to tell Mrs. Leib least in
moment of weakness she should give his
cuteness away in gossip. The project
worked like a charm.
At Union City safes were being
cracked and dwelling-houses being en-
tered all around, but his treasure re-
mained all safe in the oven. One morn
ing it was discovered that an unsuccess-
full attempt had been made to burglarize
his residence, but the discovery only
served to tickle him. Mrs. Leib was
seriously alarmed for the safety of their
but her husband bade her
be of good cheer, and trust to his sa-
gacity.
That night he came to Erie on busi-
ness, and during his absence the first
inow-storm of the season occurred.
Thinking of the husbands cold ride.
Mrs. Leib planned little surprise for
lim, and so prepared a dainty and
supper, spreading it in their
'osy parlor, lighting the fire to add to
Ar. Leib's comfort. When he arrived
md took in the situation he almost
ainted. Rushing to the stove he opened
he oven door and pulled out charred
mass that once represented their fortune.
'ut which was now not worth a cent.
IN Saturday he brought the ashes to
he courthouse, but obtained no com
Ort.

How to Raise big Crops.

1t has often been asserted by advanced ag-
riculturists that if wheat, either spring or
winter, is sown in drills far enough apart to
admit of using a horse hoe between the rows,
both TO keep down weeds and loosen and
aerate the soil, the yield might be increased
to marvellous extent more than it now is in
this country. In proof of this a recent OBJ
serving and intelligent traveller in Belgium
gives the mode of culture there, and the
yield, which sometimes with very favorable
weather for harvest, reaches as high as 100
bushels per acre. This is one of the most
fertile, prosperous and populous countries in
the world supporting 4Sl.7l persons to the
square mile, against 1892 in the United
States and 21G.G2 in Germany. Winter
wheat is q staple crop there on their high
priced small farms of only an acre or two.
The land is highly MANFRED in autumn, well
narrowed several times, and got into the best
possible condition. The grain is sown in the
fall in seed beds, very thickly, on the highest
and best location, where it is not likely to be
winter-killed or injured by any casualty, such
rs overlooking or drowning out, or smother
ing under the snow
In the spring the main fields are again
dressed up and marked out in drills the prop
or distance. When the wheat has grown
sufficiently to be moved it is thnned out by
being taken up, separated from the thick
stalks and planted in the drills with a tool
called the dibble, which makes hole the
proper depth, into which the wheat roots are
inserted, pressing the earth tight against
them with the foot. This work is usually in.
trusted to half grown boys and girls, man
sorting out the wheat plants in order that
those of the same size may be placed togeth-
er that the field may grow even and regular
When the plants have commenced growing,
the soil is thoroughly and constantly stirred,
either by means of hand or horse power.
Every weed and all foreign plants are de
stroyed, and nothing but what is wanted, the
article itself, is allowed to grow. There are
very seldom any extensive failures of crops
thus carefully and scientifically grown. The
yield is quantity never imagined or heard
in this country, and the crop always aud
surely pays the cultivator.
1t is asserted that such pains would not
pay to apply to crops in this country. But
do we not go to the opposite extreme? Has
it ever been tried here; 1t certainly would
pay satisfactorily if applied to choice vari,.
ties in small quantities about to be used for
seed. 1t Is certainly better to till one acre
and get crop now raised on four acres, than
to try the four and only raise half a crop,
which is now so often the case here. -Millial
