All, then the title of conductor meaIe
something. 1t was not a hollow name.
The bearer was a man of honor and
distinction. He swelled through the
Keeling aisles of the roaring train in
princely pomp. When like a soldier
leading a charge he dashed through the
smoky, fiery blast of the platforms,
sprang into the Car and slammed the
door after him with a flourish, brake
men, newsboys and peanut peddlsrs
gave way in awe He was attired in
the finest silks, woods and cottons of the
latest fashionable cut. Upon his snowy
shirt front CLEANED a large gem of
purest ray serene. In the fingers Of his
left hand so arranged as not to hide the
of bills. If he bore a lantern it was as
clear as a s5ar, and his name could be
seen cut in the glass. His eagle eye
darted from side to side as no seized
upon the fares. Now he smiled upon a
person of atiuence and influence and
passed a pleasant word now he
frowned upon a common man now he
pierced to the heart with a glance some
timid passenger who had already paid.
When he sat down to rest it was in the
''ladies' car" that rolling palace of
barbara excluslveness, within which
no male mar dared to set his foot un-
less i'll servile attendance upon some
member of the fair sex. The conduc-
tors presence was felt from the engine
tender to the rear platform. The train
started, stopped, backed, crawled, flew
at the ave of his hand. Some admi-
rers wondered how soon he would be-

persons circulated stories that he owned
large interests in all the city hotels,
while others darkly limited that it must
take vast sums OF the cOmpany's money
to keep up such m-agnidcence. But he

The rayages o the fire blight in
Massachusetts alone, during the past
year, amounted to from $40. 900 to
$4,000. The so.called fire blightn is
the result Of the ravages of the vine
worm, while the berries as they grow
are attacked in an early stage of their
development and destroyed by the berry
worm. The latter enters into the
heart of the berry, which, in conse-
quence, turns prematurely red, dries
up, and finally falls to the ground.
The worm appears to be easily effect
ed by any slight jar of the earth or foil
age and will then drop Immediately to
the ground. 1t takes a great deal of
practice to find them. A cranberry
bog is often considered as something
that will take care Of itself, but, on the
contrary, some of our best boys are laid
out carefully in beds, well and evenly
prepared, and trenched with a near
inlet from some brooklet or ditch. In
spraying the vines the spray was
thrown with a waterlng-pOt and work.
ed well. The solution used was a
watery mixture of Paris green, and as
a result scarcely a worm was to be
found upon the whole bog. AS regards
the theory that there might be five or
six species of moths attacking the cram
berries, all of which bore certain re-
semblance to each other, Mr.. VIM.
Sanders mentions four species of Tort
rid moths as effecting the cranberry
vines, and one as effecting the berry,
although one of the former may posi-
bly, not be injurious. With regard to
the other three species affecting the
foliage, l believe still more uncertainty
exists. Of one thing, however, 1 am
certain, | have examined between
twenty and thirty caterpillars from n
bog. and cannot but believe them to be
all stages OF the same species. l have
not succeeded in rearing a single vine
worm or fruit worm. A box of several
hundred berries whose interior con-
taiDed larvs of the berry worm, as
eyinced from the partially or complete
ly closed puncture on the side, succeed
ed no better. Not a sign of larvs, pupa
or miller was visible September IA,
while most of the berries had shrunk to
dried pods, showing the work of the
caterpillar even after the berries had
been put in the box. Ofthe tenacity
of the life of the worm | am assured.
One specimen wa alive, though rather
benumbed, nearly two months after it
had been put in a box.

Among the Indians.

1t is evident that the red men have
never met with the necessity of per
manently identifying members Of the
same family; and in permitting the
young men, just warrior-grown, tC
choose a name for himself, or COMPEL
ing him by persistency either to keeI
the one he received before he knew it,ol
to accept the cognomen chosen for h II
by his associates, they are certainly
carrying thar ideas of native freedom
to their utmost limit. To II unac
quaipted with customs which dictate
these names, ridiculous and often ap-
parently meaningless titles seem alb
surd freaks of fancy. This they often
are, to be sure, but as frequently they
have a significance which honOrs the
man, if it does not designate bis family,
Ordinarily, however, the appellation be
receives is obtained at random, and is
likely to be changed any time either by
the wearer or his friends. In fact, II
is quite the thing for a warrior to
change his name after each exploit,
always adopting some descriptive and
complimentary title; or perhaps-nn-
fortunately for HMM Ease of failure
in an expedition, cowardice, or some
evidence of weakness, he has it changed
for him by his frlenbs-so that his
name gives a bit of his personal his
tory. All Indians, eve great chiefs,
seem to possess a very remarkable
fondness for nicknaming and while
the leading man in the tribe may in
sist on being called by his own choice
title, nothing prevents his being known
and designated by a very different, and
perhaps uncomplimentary, name. As
deformIties, peculiarities of character,
or accident to limb or feature often
suggest fit names, 1t is sometimes I'm
possible to tell by the appellati0n
whether the warrior is in contempt or
honor among his associates. Strangely
enough, too, however far from tlatter-
ing the title of a warrior, he is sure to
to accept it sooner or later. There is
a single approach to general custom in
the naming of sons by their fathers and
daughters by their mothers. Daugh-
ters' names are never altered, and as
married women do not take their hus-
bands names there is nothing in the ap-
pellation o indicate whether All Indian
woman is married or single.

AscidenIs tn sletghers

Many accidents were caused during
the late sleignlng season by ignorance
as tO the proper way to harness horses
to q sleigh. Bong accustomed to hitch
ing 70 3 wagon many drivers do not
notice that tue shafts of most sleIghs
are lower as they near the sleigh than
those OF the wagon. The shafts being
low bring the cross-b bar nearer the hooks
OF the horse, and, when speeding, causes
him to hit it, in which cake he will pull
hard on the bit and almost certainly
become unpnanagsable, kick and run
away, causing accident. An accident OF
this kind occurred nNorthBroad street,
Phllad's, last Sunday. A horse attached
TO a sleigh containing a man, woman
and chIld ran away, and he IA appar-
antly not a vicious horse. He got to
hitting the sleigh nearly every other
lump he made, The driver would pull
him square back tIustead Of pulling
him short to the right and left and saw
ing his MOUTH, causing him to hit
again, which frightened him 30 that the
driver could not control hlm. The
sleigh was thrown over, and those in 1t
thrown out, but, fortunately, not hurt.
The animal ran into another sleigh,
upset ii and injured the horse. When
hltchiug a horse to a sleigh let the
traces out two or three holes, making
them longer than to a wagon, ana
shorten the breeching straps according
ly; and do not fear hat the horse will
be too far from his work and canuot pull
the sleigh as fast as he otherwise would.
The difference that the heightened
traces will make will not be noticeable
ia the speed. A little attention to the
above VIII prevent many accidents.

precious to her children. She took up
Bible characters, bringing to bear the
same vivid interest, the same power Of
making them realities.
These lessons were varied by little
sketches or reports of one Sunday to he
read aloud the next. OF this Nate took
hold with a special zest. None Of this
family could sing. She thought of a
substitute. They learned the Psalms,
much of Isaiah, and many hymns, re-
peating them in concert, learning to
count upon this hour around the fire as
others do upon their music. How many
of these times came to her in after life
"a vision of the bright faces of her
boys, as they clustered affectionately
around her.
Time rolled by, The railroad passed
through. A village sprang up, and the
and was ready to sell. She could keen
enough for her own use, and the boys
could prepare for college. Thede and
Nate went away to school The old
home was kept bright and pleasant,
friends, new settlers, came in, and now
there was visiting and social life.
Jerry stayed on the farm; Theod,
became an engineer; Nate, a minister;
Johnnie went into business. Theodore
used to say: Mother, as travel about,
, the stones and the flowers make me
think of you. l catch sight of some
rock, and stop to laugh over those bless
ed times" Nate said: "lfother, when
| am reading a psalm in the pulpit,
there always comes to me a picture of
those old evenings, with you in the
rockingham, by the freight, and l
hear all your voices again" Johnnie
wrote Mother, l think that everything
[ have has come to me through YOU"
When Jerry, who remained faithful al
ways, had listened to his brothers, he
put his arm about her, saying, tenderly:
"There will never be anybody like
mother to me.n
She died at ~sixty-fve, very suddenly.
Only a few hours before, she had ex-
claimed, as her children all came home
together; There never were such good
boys as mine. You have repaid me a
thousand fold. God grant you all happy
homes" They bore her coffin to the
grave themselves. They would not let
any other person touch it. In the even
ing they gathered around tile old
%hearthstone in the sitting-room and
drew their chairs together. No one
spoke until Nate said% "Boys. let US
pray and then, all kneeling around
her vacant chair, prayed that the
mantle of their mother might fall upon
them. They could ask nothing be-
yond that.

MUTTON o PIE Cut as large a part
as desired of a fore quarter of muffin
into pieces of from three to five inches
square. Place these IN a pot which has
a tightly fitting lid, and cover with cold
water. OF course, the length of time it
is necessary to boil the mutton depends
upon its degree of toughness, and Of
this the cook must Judge only bearing

The Empress Eagenie.

Those who have seen the ex-Empress
of the French lately cannot help con-
trasting the face of fifteen years ago
with the face that has looked on the ter
rible Genes that followed Sedan, the
dead husband at Chiselhurst. and the
dead son who was brought home TO her
from the plains of Zululand. Those
who saw the imperial lady in Paris six
teeen or eighteen years ago have not for
gotten how beautiful she was. doesn't
she deserve a throne for her beauty?''
said an American gentleman who saw
her for the first time in Paris. She
united the most handsome features of
the German and Latin races-the fore
head high and free the eyes splendldly
blue, but not very;large; the hair of a
slightly Carkened hue; the form of her
face small, oval; the nose fine, in beau
tltul symmetry, but not too high; the
mouth a trife too large, especially when
She smiled, and the least bit Jewish.
Her whole appearance suggested beau
tlful model for a Hebe-neck, shoul-
ders, arms and above all, her hands
beautifully shaped, and all this comOi-
ned with The wItchlng grace of an An
ldalusian danseuSe. But time an sor-
row have wrought their changes. The
beauty has been swept by the rough
fingers of adversely, and tue lady,
whose suite consists of a few faithful
French friends, is no longer that bright
particular star that shone so long in the
galaxy of sParisidn fashion and splen-
dor.
