Fort Street was moving It's office the
OF her day, and had called ia all the ap-
prentice boys to assist in the operation.
The desks aud chairs and books and
maps and patterns were all safely loaded
and transported, and by and-by nothing
was left but the fire extinguisher. One
of the boys was ordered to place this on
wheelbarrow and carefully wheel it
over, but he knew plan twice as good
as that. There were straps on it, aud
he was big enough TO carry it slung on
his back. With the help of another 10y
he loaded il up, aud when he found it
snugly fitted to his back he prauced out
and wished from the bottom of his soul
that he bad been fireman instead of
an apprentice boy IN foundry. He was
slumplng along in a melancholy way
when his foot struck the end of plank
and he went sprawling. The nearest
person was an old woman with a basket
on her arm, and right behind her was
chap with white vest and yellow kids
on. Both started forward as the boy
yelled out, and the next minute q circus
was in progress The fall set eff the ma
chine, and it was impossible to doubt
that it was in fine working order. There
was distant rumbling and groaning, as
if the old Vesuvius was on a bender.

old woman and the man with the white
vest. The man would have got across
the street had he not run into a hitch
ing post and got set back, and the
cid woman would have escaped with a
mou hful or two had she not stumbled
over him. There was screaming and
lawing and whooping among the three
as the terrified boy kept rolling around
and calling for some one to put him out,
but nothing could be done until the
charge was exhausted. Then a wild
looking object which had once been a
man got up and kicked at an apple
peddler and made off with his hat in his
hand at run, and an object which had
once been good natured old woman
with four cucumbers in a basket, rose
up and grabbed handy club and

other, until her elbow grease give out.

The Return of Health.

After a protracted and exhausting illness, the re-
turn OF health though it may be slow, fills the mind
with joyous anticipatons. Declared from every
enjoyment by disease the patient grows respondent
and forebodes evil. What glorious change comes
with the first thrill of health what pleasant thoughts
of resuming lifes active duties and participating In
its nleasuresl In order to hasten the return of
yicor the grand need of the convalescent digestion
should be stimulated and assimilation insured by
the use of Hosteters Stomach Bitters, tonic con-
tanning only Ingredients of standard purity and
long-tested efficacy. Besides giving an impetus to
returning health, it affords an adequate defense
against the recurrence of periodic feyers, and such
Constipation dyspepsia, liver complaint and the at
tacks of rhuematism yield to its benign inhnence'
and ii is also admirable means OF dlspeinng lhs
the physical symptoms that attend 1t.

HE CAME TO Paw.

The editor sat with his head in his hands
And his head at rest on his knees;
He was tired of the eyer-increasiug demands
On his time, and he painted for ease.
The clamor for copy scorned with aneer,
And he sighed ia the lowest of tones:
g Won't somebody come with dollar to cheer
The heart of Emanuel Jones ~
ust then on the stairway footstep was heard,
And rap-a-tap loud at ths door;
And the Pickering hope that had long been de-
ferred
Blazed up like a beacon once more
Ana there entered man with cynical smile
That was friaqed with stubble of red
Who remarked, as he tilted a sorry old tile
TO the back of an average head:
I've come here to pay"-Here the editor cried:
q You're as welcome the flowers in springl
Sit down in this easy chair by my side
And excuse me awhile while bring
lemonade dashed with little old wine,
And dozen cigars of che best.
All! here we arei This l assure you, is fine
Help yourself, most desirable guest"
The visitor drank with a relish and smoked
Till his face satisfied glow:
And the editor, beaming with merr iment, joked
In Joyous spontaneous flow.
And then, when the stock of refreshment was
gone,
His guest took occasion to say,
In accents distorted somewhat by yawn:
. My errand up here is to pay"-
the generous scribe, with wave of the hand
Put stop to the speech of his gnest,
ID brought in q melua--the fiuest the land
Ever bore on its generous breast;
And the visitor, wearing a singular grin,
Sized the hea lest half of the fruit
And the juice, as it in STRAIN from his chin,
Washed the mud of the pike from his boot.
Then. hopping his feet on favorite sheet
Which the scribe had laid carefully by,
The visitor lazi rose to his feet
With the dreariest kind of sigh,
And said, as the editor sought his address
In his books to discover his due:

And to borrow dollar of youn

A Wedding Foo

Rev. DR.. Samuel E. Appleton, of
Philadelphia, tells the following story at
his own expense:
A young couple called on him one day
and asked him to marry them. He saw
no objections, and in few moments
they were man and wife. The delighted
and bapoy groom then walked reluctant
ly toward tue minister and asked.

receive SO" was the answer.
The bright smile of the Jersey groom
seemed TO leave him then; but, brscing
himself, he said:
"YOu see. doctor, | am little short

importing lot of educated parrots from
London. Now. instead Of paying you
in cash, suppose present you with one
of these birds on their arrival?"

Humbug in Alpine Climbing.

nate f1eid- IN the Manhattan.
There is an immense deal of humbug
in Alpine climbing. People tear over
glaciers and up mountains, merely for
the sake of saying they done the Alps.
Your constitutional tramp grasps his
staff, and, with eyes fixed on the ground,
walks, and walks, and walks, never stop
ping to look upward--never asking what
is to be gained by the expenditure of
time and leather. On his return he will
show you his staff, on which are recorded
his feats of pedestrianism. Only this
and nothing more. At least this poor
ambition conduces to manly muscle, and
there are trampers whose souls rise above
their boots But / no longer marvel
that this Cook g. tourist way of ASSEMBLING
scenery has disguised artists with Switz-
erland. Once upon time a king of
France marched up hill, and then
marched down again. That king has

The best bacon is made from pigs
which will not weigh more than 1875
pounds when dressed. The rashers or
strips for the bacon are cut lengthwise
off the pig and about half of the sides
are used. The portion next to the back
bone is fatter and lacks in muscle, and
is not so good on this account. When
bacon is made from small pigs-those
weighing less than 100 pounds-the
whole of the sides are used. Red and
black Berkshire hogs make the best
bacon, because they have the largest
proportion of lean meat. Six pounds of
salt and four ounces of saltpetre should
be used for 100 pounds of meat. Five
pounds of brown sugar may also be
used, or two quarts of molasses. If the
bacon is cured in barrel, the salt, salt
petre, and sweetening should be mixed
and portion sprinkled on the bottom
of the barrel, and some also between
the layers of meat and on the top, and
water enough, after the meat is packed
closely, put on to cover it. In a month
the meat will be ready to smoke. Too
much smoke viii color the meat and
give it a rank taste. Another way to
cure bacon is to rub the above mixture
on the flesh side of the strips of bacon
and then pile up one piece above an
other, and let the mixture strike in.
After three days rub again and pile up
as before. A week after rub again and
pile it up putting the flesh side up
every time The mixture should be
divided into three equal parts, to pro-
vide Cor the several rubbings. At the

Ranch Cattle.

The improvement in the quality of
ranch cattle, has lately assumed the
greatest importance in the eyes of the
ranchmen of the plains. They are no
longer content with the wild Texas steer,
long and sharp of horn, sinewy, fleet
and uncertain in temper. They are
stripping the breeding farms in Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Indiana of blooded
stock for the Improvement of their own.
The Durhams rank first in favor, with
the Herefords next, and the Galloway
third, while there is growing up a de-
mand for Hosteins. The result Of this
free use of blooded cattle on the ranges
is seen in the prevalence of graded cat
tie, better for beef and more profitable
to their owners than their predecessors,
the wild Spanish cattle originating in
Texas and Mexico. Here is an esti-
mate which places the wisdom of
this course In striking light: "The
old-fashioned long horn of Texas ma
tured at four years and made from 800
to 1000 pounds gross, worth two and
half and three cents pound in Chicago.
The son of Texas COW by short horn
or other good bull would make a weight
Of ], ZOO to l. 300 pounds in three years
and sell four or five cents per pound on
foot. All of which should possess a
certain interest TO eastern people who
yearn for better duality of beef.

ana the cost to each farmer interested is
OF small account; while it would be i'm
possible for one farmer TO incur the eY-
pense alone. The animal can be kept
.or three or TOUR years-long enough, in
fact, to furnish all the farmers interest
ed In his ownership with his best daugh-
'ers for their diaries. No $500 bull
should ever be sent to the shambles pro-
vided he can be controlled and proves a
good breeder. Such bull always has
value like ones farm or team. and
when 1t becomes advisable TO DISPOSE of
him. he can be sold for fair price or
exchanged for another desirable bull
with other farmers similarly situated.
BY following up this course until the
farmers who have thus united their in
terests, have diaries with three or four
crosses of the breed adopted for the i'm
provement OF the stock. the farmers will
have satisfied themselves in regard to
the actual profit of improved stock.
That such stock is profitable in dollars
and cents no one who has had expert
ence can or will deny. In the matter of
sheep breeding, or in the breeding of
other farm stock, the same course may
be pursued. Each farme, may realize
the full benefit and divide the burden
with his neiphhors.

A California Idiot.

The Saratoga correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle says: A very han some
young lady, whose name is A. w. Rich,
from California, and on her wedding
tour, has created quite a sensation in
Saratoga. She is stopping at the Grand
Union, and is to be seen walking up and
down the piazza of the hotel for hours
at time in company with beautiful
black and tan dog. She seems to be
wonderfully fond of this pet. Tue little
creature was made wedding present,
and cost $500. The lady ordered for the
dog earrings and gold collar of special
pattern. The earrings are worth 81, 900
and the collar, which is studded with
emeralds and pearls, is worth $4,000.
This lady and her pet are not only the
talk of the town, but have created the
greatest sensation known here for years.
A servant is provided to feed the dog
and attend him when his mistress does
not have him in his charge. The dog
answers the name of darling" He
