Seeking Relief By Death.

Thursday night, as the accomm0da-
ton train on the Lake Shore Railway
was running at its usual rate of speed,
just this side of Irving, the brakes were
applied and the train brought to sud-
den stop. Up flew the windows, and
the passengers were Mortified to seq ly-
ing beside the track the. apparently
hfeless body of a human being Tho
conductor, brakeman and many OF the
passengers sprang off and ran back to
pick up the remains. Upon neat ap--
proach and investigation the supposed
corpse proved to be live young squawI
under the influence of liquor. 4. red
handkerchief wrapped about her 1ead
and shoulders gave her very CHASTITY
appearance. Being assisted to herfeet
she exclaimed: "Me want to die! Me
git run oyer!p OF course the drd-.
hearted conductor couldn't think o.
such a thing, and ordered her put
aboard the train and carried to the next
station, some four or five miles distant
Upon arriving there she was very care
fully assisted off the train, and az Z
moved away placed her thumb and M
gers to her nasal organ and went
through a series of movements tnat
would have done credit to any ganlin'

A Canadian Curiosity.

A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
says that, about eight miles down the
river st. Lawrence from Kingston, Ont,
and four hundred yards from the stream,
rises a lofty ridge of granite. On the
farm of Daniel Mclean, in this ridge.
are three wells carved out of this solid
rock, which have defed the suggestions
of the Oldest inhabitants as to their in
tended use. These cylinders, only four
feet deep and foot or more in diane
ter, are heWn out of solid rock, which
the keenest-tempered tools of modern
times would scarcely chip, and from top
to bottom they are as smooth and regu-
lar as finest polished Aberdeen granite.
They always contain copious supply
of pure water, which must be supplied
by rains, as no surface water can pene-
trate them. The popular idea is that
therein former savages pounded their
corn; but the diameter of the holes ard
their disproportionate depth render that
On improbable idea.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Eastwood trees are urged for plant
ing by the roadside, as they serve the
double purpose of attractive shade and
abundant forage for bees; they also
make excellent timber when it becomes
desirable to fell them.
The winter radish should be sown
about the middle of summer, and, like
the turnip, make its best growth in the
autumn. Pitted out of doors or buried
in earth in a cool cellar, it will keep
crisp all winter. An hour before using
place the winter tadish in cold water.
Chicago Journal.
"A noted caterer tells this story: If
green peas are shel1ed and then are put
in dry, open mouthed bottles, and are
shaken together so as to occupy as little
space as possible, then are corked
tightly and sealed, they will keep
three or four months. They must, how
ever, be buried in dry earth in the cell
lar. This is certainly worth trying.
TO preserve cherries on the stems,
select large white-heart cherries and
boil them in a strip made of three
quarters of their weight of sugar and
barely water enough to dissolve it.
Let the cherries just scald in the strip
and skim them out into cans and let
the sirup boil fifteen minutes. Then
pour the sirup4nto the cans and screw
down tightly.-M Y Times.
The best cookie-tin is simply a
piece of sheet-iron the size of the bot
tom of the oven. Have the edges
turned over slightly, so that the iron
will not lie fiat on the bottom of the
oven. Cut a round hole at one end, so
that it may be easily taken from the
oven by putting a fork In and drawing
it out; and this is useful also to hang
the iron up by.-N 7. Post.
"A correspondent wants to know
how to rid his lawn of plantain. Plan
tain is very tenacious weed, its roots
grow very deep, and, as it grows from
the roots, keeping it cut down will not
prevent its spreading. Cutting off at a
level with the ground and covering
with a pinch of salt is said to kill it,
but certain way is to thoroughly dig
out the roots Chicago Herald.
"A good dish to be eaten cold for
supper is made by taking a piece of
round steak, spread some butter on it,
and then cover it with a force meat
made of bread crumbs, highly seasoned
with pepper, salt and sage; roll the
steak, and fasten it together; bake it,
basting it freely with butter and water.
When it is tender take from the oven
and let it get perfectly cold. Cut it in
slices right down through the force
meat and RH.-N. z. Post.
