A Troublesome Parcel.
from he New York Times.

From he New York Times.
Messenger Hesse, ofthe Adams expresl
company. recently brought over his d.
vision Of the route from Washington an
express package, which it would have
been superduous to mark "handle with
care" The package weighed about 40
pounds avoirdupois, and it was consigned
to preacher of this city, living in
Green street, with &C. o. D." OF $35.
The package had come all the way from
Dalton, Ga. and was nothing more nor
less than . young lady of IS tender years
whose parents had sent her to New York
by express IN order to preclude all
possibility Of losing her on the way, or
to be able to collect damages If she
should be mielaid. Messenger Hesse was
in somewhat of quardry how to pack
his precious burden when no received
q receipt for her at Washington. He
thought the only safe plan would be to
put her In the corner of q car and pile
lot OF trunks on top of her, or to got a
crockery crate and cage her in that, but
ne finally decided to ship her through n
passeD ger car. and get the brakeman
10 watch her. One OF the necessities of
':Ao uh'uuo IIclXHC package wa san OCC0
siona! meal, and the brakeman was anx-
ious to bring the young lady's proven
der on. these occasions. Messenger
Hesse, however, sternly babe him 10
stick to his stove and brake-wheel and
not try usury Others peoples duties.
The expense of the fair express package
meals was put on tap
and added to the c. O. D. After . great
deal of mental suffering, lest his charge
horld fall out of a window or be spirit
ed away at intermediate stations, Mes.
senger Hesse finely got her safely to
Jersey City. There she was loaded into
an express wagon and brought over thu
Cortlandt street ferry to New York and
taken to the office of the Adam express
company, at No. sc Broadway, where
another agent signed a paper ackuow.
Lodging her safe receipt, and Meesense,
Hesse breathed a sigh OF relief and went
forth and drank whisky cock tail tc
drown lis sorrow at parting. The ex-
press package was again put into an Ad.
ANS express wagon and driven to its con.
signee in Greene street, who paid I'll
charges and received it with open arms
Messenger Hcsse is anxious to have this
branch of the exnross traffic developed.

Fresh Fashion GOSSIP.

From tbs New York Mail and Express.
Paris correspondents hint that there
will soon be some important changes in
styles in street costumes.
Little plush books with satin pages are
the most Fashionable Of menu for dinner
parties just now. the outside cover hay
ing initials of the person for whom it ie
intended,
Hand satchels carried by the ladies
become more and more elaborate and
correspondingly expensive. Those O,
alligator skin bound with real silver are
the most fashionable.
In dinner fayors something new is
little china dog sitting upright on
plush mat, the head coming off and the
body serving as an inkstand. Pens AMI
paper are not given with this Dime
favor.
Fashionable fingers now find en-
ployment in making table covers out
of coarse white Irvine, out of which,
fishermen's nets are made. The needles
the ladies have to use are about the size
OF q fishing pole.
Paris has put forth kid glove hav-
ing crest or monogram worked in del
icately shaded silks on the upper part
near the top of the glove. The design
is then outlined in fine pearl amber or
gold beads.
White swans down is now used to trim
evening dresses of white surah or tulle.
the pure aeecy garniture having q very
soft and beautiful effect. Several of
these toilets have been seen at the Del
monico balls.
Sleigh-bell bracelets are among the
novelties of the day. and are worn by
the "dancing class young girls" who,
somebody says, will wear anything.
With rings on her fingers and bells on
her toes, etc., etc.
West Indian birds of dazzling plum
age are seen on some of the latest of
Vjrots imported bonnets, but people
who have visited the place where the
birds are said to come from declare they
are unknown in that locality.
Gold cups and sau ;ers were intro.
duced for coffee at a dinner party in
town the other evening, and the guests
seemed nervous In handling them lest
they should be accused of an attempt to
purloin cup or saucer.

whose taste for scientific pursuits originated
In tho discovery Of fossil footmarks on hi,
farm, died at Turner'S Falls Mas. short
time ago aged seventy. years. He wrote
the following poem on his seventeen birth.

death:

They were not left behind.

The waylwas full of hopa
Ofjoy and bliss,
OF pain. Of woe, and DEATH
And happiness.
Lies journey has been short
That is to say,
Twas morning, noon and nigLS-
.iut one short day.
I'll look the record o'er:
Yes, am right;
The journey of day
Morn, noon and night.
NY morn was spent in dreams:
Ny noon was bright;
CLOUDS quickly gathered round,
And now it's night.
Ny glass Ia almost run:
Why need l care?
The hand that led me here
Will lead me there.
Now let the time be short
When l may rest
My weary, aching head
Upon his breast.

And be what have been
And not ling more.
Hydust returns to dust,

And my soul will go to God,
And be Ut rest.
I've outlived all my cares. -
My hopes, my fears;

And less for tears.

At recent temperaAcs meeting In
Philadelphia some good advice was given
to the friends Of those who are trying
to overcome the habit Of alcoholism.
Always have 1t hand something hot,
tonic or refreshing to meet the craving
for ardent spirits. Coffee. tea. cocos,
hot broth, beef tea, hot milk. ginger tea,
cayenne pepper tea, are oil good and
useful beverages in these circumstances.
Aerated drinks-lemon, soda, zoedone,
ginger ale-are harmless tho tang being
given by fixed air; but the home made
beers, the life Of which depends direct
ly on fermentation, are dangerous. Cold
milk, buttermilk, whey, lemonade, Hos
phords acid phosphate. and dilute phos-
phoric acid, are useful. Ofthe latter, .
few drops in sweetened water make q
pleasant drink, and 10 cents worth will
last . long time. A handful Of oatmeal
in . pitcher Of water makes refreshing
drink and suitable for warm weather.

Preparing Seed Potatoes.

.
I zee by my book that in 1921 l sold
l58 bushels Of potatoes from one acre
for Sc SO, also from the product Of that
acre aad sixty bushels OF small i'm
perfect potatoes, and enough for family
use and for seed next spring. The meth.
DDS of some other correspond .nts were
aids to . good crop, such - invert ed
sod ground, broadcast msnuring and
thirty bushels ashes on the burrows,
deep planting and frequent cultivation.
Yet one more point that in several
past seasons has given the crop q good
send.of is the exposure of the seed to
light two weeks or more previous to
planting, by which cause. the potato is
greened, and the sprouts are short, firm,
green and healthy, and no break off In
careful handling. With such q sprout .
piece Il eare 70 grow. It would be de-
slrable that the potatoes should not
sprout until the cellar windows are
opened to the full light OF spring days,
as sprout grown in darkness is tender.
1spread them upon tho CELLAR bottom,
which gives room enough for the seed
use. l consider q long white potato
eprout worthless, but a green one an
inch long or less is valuable. It would
be great damage and hinderan:e TO
early growth to brush such potatoes
smooth and bare of sprouts as is the
practice Of some farmers.-Z. Jameson.

The tame parsnip, Pastinaca eqoilis, is
quite different plant from the wild
parsnip, so called, which is named Arch
emora rigida, and the COW parsnip, 30
called, which is lIcracieum lanatum.
The different botanical names show the
entire diversity of these plants. Guilt
waited parsnips will never become poi
sonous, as these wild plants are, nor will
these wild plants ever become parsnips.
Heracleum lanatum is used in medicine;
the seeds are aromatic. and the root is
80 acrid as to blister the skin. Arche-
mora rigida is the commonly Gale | wild
parsnip, and is reported to be poisonous,
and probably may be, as it is a coarse.
strongly scented. and acrid plant. The
seeds of these wild plants will, of course,
reproduce plants Of the same Kinds az
