The board of trustees requested 4le railroad
authorities to run no Sunday trains this year.
which was kindly granted by the corporations
to the satisfaction of the trustees and most of
the people, though many of the Lafayette folks,
who could not afford or could not obtain a livery
rig, thought it would be no harm to run a train
from there on Sunday morning.
The order was excellent throughout, and the
police had little told0. The finances of the as

Bum Latin.

A dialect which the school boys have mastered
is called Bum Latin. It takes anEftistielnguist
to handle IT, and no one outside the ranks Of the
boys, save Josh Roseberry and Harry srhrock-
morton can use it rapidly and correctly In
Bum Latin words are regularly formed by
taking the first letter of an English word and
placing it at the endand adding a. Forinstance,
the word father would be atherfa in Bum Latin.
Bum Latin would be umba atinla. Some mon
Dsyllabic words such as and, end, etc, when
Che first letter is not interchangeable are formed
by adding wa to the word, viz: andwa endwa.

The treasuers of the Sultan were
shown to Mrs. Stanford. Attended by
Pangaray Bey, an abide. camp of the
Sultan, three strictly guarded doors
were passed, until the Hall of Jewels
was reached, and dazzling scene burst
upon the sight Of the visitor, such as is
seldom seen by Western eyes; whole
basins of emeralds, rubies, sapphires,
etc, were heaped up IN countless num-
bers; diamonds of great size, as yet un-
cut, and pearls of rare loneliness, were as
plentiful as blackberrles In July. In
another chamber are effigies of all the
Sultans since the establishment of the
Ottoman empire. They are decked in
their gorgeous robes of state, with turbans
gemmed with flashing diamonds and
their scimetars flashing with rich jewels
When the Shah of Persia visited Con-
stantinople. he appeared at court in q
robe loaded with diamonds and precious
stones, but the Sultan was dressed with
great simplicity. When the Persian
monarch entered his chamber, he found
the walls of the apartment covered with
satin embroidery, studded with real
iems; the bedspread sprinkled with dia-
monds, and the very rugs under his feet
thick with costly jewels. This was done
to show the Shah that such things were
so plentiful In Turkey that they were
used for such common purposes. After
that the King of Persia never wor
diamonds again while in Turkey.

A GOOD way to prepare baked apple

A NICE sauce for tea can be made of
figs. Let them soak in cold water or,
better still, in little sour cider, all
night. Then let them boil gently until
they are tender. Just before taking
them from the fire add sugar to your
taste. If you do not use cider, the jnice
of one or two lemons should be used to
prevent the sauce from tasting insipid.
The delicate table carrots now used by

used IN many ways which add to the ex-
cellence of dinner. Ii boiled tender,

other way is to parboil them, cut in
small pieces, and brown i'll butter. Still
anothe, way is to boil them and serve
with cream, as you do peas.

Ridicule Cure for HydrOphobia.

tfrom the chicago News.l
A. Zeter, milk dealer, owns large
and valuable Newfoundland dog.
Wednesday the animal sprang upon him
and slightly scratched the little finger
of his left hand with its teeth. There
has been considerable talk ID the neigh
borhood regarding the recent deaths
caused by hydrophobia. The matter
was talked about in Zeter's family. Sun
day the man became alarmed. He I'M
agined that he was becoming rabid. DIR.
Goodall was sent for. He cauterized
the wound and took look at the dog
The animal showed no aversion to water
as beverage. He objected, however,
when a large quantity of water was
poured on his back. DIR. Goodall came
to the conclusion that the bite itself was
not dangerous. He was afraid that Ze-
ter would work himself into frenzy in
case he WAS not convinced that the dog
was not mad. The doctor consequently
prescribed large doses of ridicule for the
patient whenever he suggested that the
dog was mad. The neighbors and fam
lily Of the milk dealer supplied the doc
tors prescription. Zeter is now recov-
erlng.

Horses for Farm Work,

Breeding first-class horses for farm
work is an easy matter on farms that
have large pastures, for colts can be
raised at a small cost where the farmer
is fortunate in possessing good grazing
fields and plenty of grass. But in
raising colt everything depends upon
the purpose for which it is intended.
Some farms are so situated that the
horsesused thereon must possessstrength
as well as the ability to move quickly.
The size of our horse has been greatly
increased of late years by the crossing
OF our native stock with the Clydesdale
and Norman, but the object was heavy
draught rather than speed. Such horses
are not well adapted for carriage service
or for the saddle. The average farmer,
on the score of expense, desires to keep
his horses for general work, and in or
der to improve his stock he must select,
for the purpose of Improvement. animals
that combine as many desirablequalities
as possible.
The chief requirement at present is a
breed OF walking horses-horses that
move quickly at walk. Such a strain
has not been established, but a foup-
dation has been laid by selecting the

The Rod.COaf Witness

Ben: Perley PooreI
Danlei webster was fond of a good
story, and told number ILLUSTRATING
MS early LIE IN New Hampshire. One
evening at cornwall party, where he
ana several distinguished LAWYERS were
present, the conversation happened to
turn On the legal profession. "When I
was young practitioner said Mr..
webster, there was but one man at
the New Hampshire bar of whom | was
afraid, and that was old Barnaby. There
were but few men who dared to enter
the list with him. On one occasion Bar
naby was employed to defend a suit for
piece of land, brought by a little
Grabbed, cunning lawyer called Bruce.
Bruce.s case was looked upon as good as
lost when it was ascertained that Bar
naby was retained against him. The
snlt came on for trial, and it was found
that Bruce had worked hard, and left
no stone unturned to gain the victory.
The testimony for the plaintiff was verv
strong, and unless it could be i'm.
peached, the case of the defendant was
lost. The principal witness introduced
oY the plaintiff wore red coat. In
summing up for the defense. old Bar
naby commenced furious attack on
this witness, pulling his testimony all
to pieces, and appealing to the Jury if
man who wore red coat was, under
any circumstances, to be believed. And
who Is this relocated witness q ex-
claimed Barnaby, but descendant of
our common enemy, who has striven to
take from us our liberty, and would not
hesitate now to deprive my poor client
OF his land by making any sort of red
coated statement During this speech
Bruce was walking up and down the bar.
greatly excited, and convinced that his
case was gone, knowing, as he did, the
prejudice of the jury against ANYTHING
British. Whilst, however, Barnaby was
gesticulating and leaning forward to the
Jury In his eloquent appeal, his shirt
bosom opened slightly, and Bruce acct
dentally discovered that Barnaby wore
red undershirt. Bruce's countenance
frightened up. Putting both hands in
his coat pockets, he walked the bar with
great confidence, to the establishment of
his client and all lookers-on. Just as
Barnaby concluded Bruce whispered in
the ear of his client, I've got him now
your case Is SAFE; and approaching
the jury he commenced his reply to the
argument OF his a 'versary.
Bruce gave regular history of the an
cestry of his relocated witness, proving
his patriotism and devotion to the coun-
try, and his character for truth and We
racitv. But, what, gentlemen of the
fury" broke forth Bruce, in LOUD strain
of eloquence, while his eye flashed fire,
what are you to expect of a man who
stands here to defend Cause based on
no foundation of right or justice Whist
ever; of man who undertakes to
destroy our testimony on the ground
that my witness wears ared coat, when,
gentlemen of the jury--when, when,
when, gentlemen Of the iuryr (here
Bruce made spring, and catching Bar
naby by the bosom of the shirt. tore it
open, displaying his red hannel), when
Mr.. Barnaby himself wears a red flannel
coat concealed under a blue one?' The
effect was electrical; Barnaby was beaten
at his own game, ard Bruce gained the
cause"
