e Itmight be a good idea for the
United States Senate to send an in
yestigating committee up to Boston
to enquire into the scandals of the
Tewkesberry almshouse, If the
Puritans Of Massachusetts are in the
habit of tanning the hides of their
dead paupeis and selling the human
leather to get money to help sup
port their poor houses, the Nation
ought to be officially ihformeds of
the fact. Let smelling committee
from the Senate go to Boston by all
means. We want to know if tho
fine, ladies' of that refined city really
do wear slippers AID gloves made'
from the skins of dead babies.

A Home Snuggery.

There should always be one spot in
the family. A room full OF comfort,
where the sofa is made TO lounge en- and
the chairs to tilt back and the carpet to
dig the toes in. where bills and bicker-
ing are alike forbidden and the straight
laced prOpriety of the dining room or
parlor can be abandoned for rompS and
story telling; where the freight has a
glow of old-tashioned comfort and the
very shadows are tame and apprOacha-
bic; where the dust doesn't show and
nothing is too fine to use and at whose
door all the burdens drop off as they
Will sometime at the gate of heaven a
room whose speech is silver and whose
silence IS golden when the tranquility
OF a summer Sabbath is broken only by
sweet murmurs of love and confidence,
where happy cat curls herself to re-
pose in blissful affinity with peaceful
house dog, place where the wicked
cease from troubling and weary are at
rest. A sort of moral lean-to which ad-
joins the house beautiful. Here Jacob s
ladder is planted and angels ascending
and descending bring with them end
less measures of peace.
Every home should have this one
place of retreat. 1t is no impossible
place. Love is the architect; content
is Its atmosphere. We find it in our
friends homes, often where least ex-
pected, and are surprised because it is
never a show-place. 1t is simply ''a
golden room" in wooden house.

The Destruction by Late Frosts.

Frost is a constant menace to the
cultivator. He las transplanted his
tender plants from the hOt-beds; his
peach trees have their buds just ready
to open his grape-vines are pushing
their tender shoots, and in one hour the
prospects of a season may be ruined.
While late frosts do not bring destruc-
tion every year, they come so frequently
that it would seem to be worth while
to take all possible precautions to pre-
vent injury by them. 1t does not seem
to be generally understood that frost is
not something that comes to us from
distance, but is, so to speak, caused by
the plant itself. As soon as the plant
coOls to certain point frost is deposit
ted from the air surrounding it. OF
course this is usually first deposited as
moisture, which afterward freezes. All
attempts to avoid injury by frost must
be directed to prevent the plant from
cooling. 1t may encourage those who
are disposed to try to shelter their
plants, that the protection is required
for but a short time and toward morn
ing. The plants begin to cool as soon
do VI lAlC lCtll VI lAlC obAi, anu
continue to lose heat all night; usually
they are not cooled down TO the danger
point until the end OF the night. and in
most cases the mischief is done within
an hour or two of sunrise. When the
night is cloudy frost is not feared. The
curtain of clouds prevents the heat
passing off into space. In small gar
den it Is not difficult to protect the to-
matoeS and other tender plants. News
papers are always at hand and are quite
as effective as blankets. The truck
farmer will say that it is impossible to
protect his plants by the acre. We are
not so sure of that. In some OF the
French vineyards vines are protected
by the acre, but they are planted and
the trellises are built with view to
this. If the means are properly cOnsid-
cred and the appliances kept in readi-
ness, it would not be impossible to pro-
tect melons and tomatoes by the acre.
For the orchard and vineyard smoke is
the most available protection. 1t has
long been used with success IN the vine
yards of Germany and should be tested
in this country. When a frost is ap-
pretended, let materials be provided
and watch set, whose duty it should
be to call sufficient help to promptly
start the smoke. A ready method Of
raising smoke is to throw damp straw
upon a fire. Probably experiments
will show that tar, petroleum, or some
other such material will afford more
efficient method of making a smoke
than straw.

the murdered girl At the base Of the
monument, as If in solemn irony, there
is the following:
"While affection mourns Uus great
loss it has sustained, the remembrance
union hereafter are the only source Off
consolation to the bereft heart.
wood was queer old fellow, said
the aged grave-digger to newspaper
reporter recently. "He'd come to the
grave of his daughter every day and
place flowers on it. And I've often
seen tear roll down his cheek and fall
on the mound. When the body was
moved over this side Wood came here
quite as often and used to sit on one of
those iron chairs beside the grave. with
head bowed upon his breast for hours.
Sometimes in the evening as he Sat
there, shielded from the street by the
rose bushes, people passing would point
10 the monument and say something
about that old villain, Wood Some
times he'd hear them. Then he'd sneak
away slyly, looking as if he wished he
were dead himself. He went down hill
rapidly, and finally sold his house. He's
been dead now several years. He is
buried right in that plat, with his
daughter; but, as you see, there's no
inscription ON the stone for him-none.
Nobody ever lived in the house long
since he left it. 1t is said that Wood
married a second time, but L don't
know whether there is any truth in 1t
or not. Oh, Peake2 He died in the
almshOuse and filled a pauper's grave.
1t is probable that he really loved the
girl, for he drank very hard after her
death. Only a few months elapsed
until he, too, was placed under the sod.
The whole family story is sad one.
There are many people living who can
remember how this terrible crime start
led the city at the time. A graveyard
is full of such histories"

Impervious Skin.


Is there any animal whose skin
is impervious to rifle bullet? Up to
very recent date the belief in the impen-
etrabilty of the rhinoceroS' hide was
almost universal, and no wonder, since
the gravest and most reliable authori-
ties industriously promulgated the delu-
sion. 1.-The hardest bullet, nay, even
an ingot of iron, will not pierce it,''
says one ancient writer. A few years
ago, some parts also of the skin or the
cayman and of the crocodile were be-
lieved to be imperviOus to rifle bullet,
but it is not so now. Formerly rifles
were comparatively weak. The bullets
were round, and entirely of lead. Now
rifles for large paehy-dermatus animals
are made vastly stronger. The charge
of powder is increased. The bullets,
which are conical, are made of lead
mixed with zinc, and are pointed with.
iron. Such bullets driven by such a
charge Of powder, will, at moderate
distances, penetrate the skin of any
animal in existence. They will do
much more; they will crash through the
skull Of an Afrieaa elephant,

A Bath IN The Dead sea.

The heat was terrific, but could not
resist the temptation, says a tourist.
Moreover. wished to test the buOyancy
of the water; so l threw away the UNI
brella upon which most bather rely, and,
disrobing, boldly waded in. l substan-
tiated the statements of those who
maintain that it is impossible to sink in
the water by throwing myself reckleSsly
in with closed eyes Not only was it
impossible to sink, but could scarcely
regain my footing, so lightly did float
on the surface. l had been warned
about getting the water in my eyes or
mouth, but could not help it. Bah,
what malignant, nauseating mixture
it Isl could not eradicate the smart
from my eyes or the deadly taste from
my mouth for long time.
"Oh. hate the Dead Sea-" l blu5-
bered as l emerged, blinking and drip
ping from the water, and proceeded to
scrape the saline incrustation from my
body. But the worst sensation was an
an awful smarting and burning about
my ankles, for l had now been five days
in the saddle, and my ankles were some
what chafed from welding the spurs.
Mr.. Floyd told OF bringing forty-two
cadets down to the Dead Sea once who
had poor animals, and had consequently
become very sore from the long ride.
They would bathe, and paid for the
privilege by walking all the ten miles
back to Jericho. They were too sore to
sit in the saddle. My hair proved to
be sticky for an hour or so. | don't
think ever got so thoroughly salted
down before. Nevertheless, there was
no salt visible at the north end of the
sea. 1t Is at the south end, where there
is no Jordan TO partially purify the
water, that the famed mountains of
literal rock salt are to be seen. Ordi-
nary sea water has about four per cent.
of salt iu it, while the Dead Sea has
some twenty-six per cent. This per-
centage is fixed and steady despite all
that the Jordan and other streams can
do TO ''heal the waters.n

A RISING TIDE.


The west wind clears the morning,
The sea shines silver-gray;
The night was long, but fresh and strong
Awakes the breezy day;
Like smoke that flies across the lift,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and far, along the bar,
The tide comes creeping in.
The dreams of midnight showed me
a life of loneliness.
4 stony shore that knew no more
The bright waves soft caress;
Th' morning broke, the visions fled
With dawn new hopes begin;
The light Il sweet, and at my feet
The tide comes rolling in.
Over the bare, black bouiders
The ocean sweeps ami swells:
Oh, waters wide, ye come 10 hide
Dali stones and empty shells;
l hear the floods lift up their voice
With loud, triumphant din;
Sad dreams depart-rest, doubt ng heart,
The tide comes foaming in !
