a UTAH GHOST STORY.
a 0Dfrit Who Revealed tho
WAerebOuts OF Money and
Letters

Letters.
The Salt Lake Tribune gives =
long description of a sensation
which recently came to light At
Alta, Utah. Some years ago a man
named Edward Crockett was killed
BY a snows'ide and left behind him
money and papt n which his friends
have ever since been trying to find.
The rest of the story 10 told BY the
Tribune ~ follows:
About q month ago Jeremiah
Reagan went to Alta and leased the
Kennedy saloon. At the time Of
the snowslide last Winter, Reagan
was in . hospital in San Francisco.
He was we'll acquainted with Ed
ward Crockett, aad read Of the sad
catastrophe in the newspapers.
Last Monday night, Reagan, after
closing up the saloon, went to bed
a usual in the building. During
the night he was suddenly
awakened by an oppressive feeling,
something similar to what one &C.
casionly feels when We know . per-
SON is near yet cannot actually see
him. Opening his eyes and sitting
up in bed, he saw plainly before
him what he supposed to be the
person of Edward Crocket, dressed
in the exact clothes that he wore
on the day Of his sudden death.
Addressing Reagan, the apparition
told him that if he would dig by
the Kennedy post in the cellar he
would find . purse containing
money which he was to retain and
several letters address to him (the
ghost) which he described. The
ghost was very clear and explicit
in his directions, and Reagan, who
sat up in bed while Crockett was
speaking, jumped from his couch
the moment the spirit had finished.
He struck . match and Was about
to light the candle when the spirit
vanished and he was left alone.
The cold sweat stood upon his fore
head, and sleep departed from his
eyes for the rest of the night
Tuesday morning he began to dig
by the Kennedy post a. he had
been directed, but finding nothing
he gave up the search. The thina
bothered him and he determine d
to make second attempt, which
he did later in the day, and this
time his efforts were rewarded
The pocket book, containing SIS
and the letters were taken from
the ground, and then Reagan wa,
moro nonplussed than ever. He al
once told his friends Of his curious
experience, and the matter quickly
became tho talk of the town. Geo
Cullen heard The story, and said
that Reagan's description of Crock
cts app. al corresponded exactly
to the e5othes that deceased had
on at the time Of his death. Othe1
facts stated by Reagan found cor
roboration from the lips ct othel
parties. Reagan was so frightened
that he did not go to bed at al
Tuesday night, but sat up with
number of citizens of Alta, telling
and retelling his experiences o.
the night before.

Nothing adds so much 70 the CHAINS
of the rich, glowing colors of foliage
plants as iudicious mixture Of ferns,
and some of our native ones are quite
equal to the greenhouse varieties
Taken up in early spring before the
fronds have begun to unroll them
selves in the sunlight, and put here
and there among brilliant coleus or
crimson dracanas, they Will grow and
thrive either IN shade or sunshine, and
lend grace and beauty to their surround
ings. Rustic boxes filled entirely with
ferns, and wild grasses, and draped
with mitchella vines, may deck a shell
tered veranda all summer, and then do
duty at north window as ferneries all
winter
Cyperus alternifolius, also, though
usually recommended for Wardian
cases, viii give charming effects among
bouvardias or ADDITIONS in large win
dow box, and sweet peas and mignon
cite are always acceptable. Sweet peas
must be covered three or sour inches
when sown, or the vines viii soon turn
yellow and droop away without a single
blossom.
In regard to the size, shape and or
namentatiOn of the boxes much will de
pend on elephants chosen. For strong,
quick-growing ones, depth of soil and
plenty of root room are required, while
for the lower growing and delicate ones
shallow boxes are more desirable. One
thing bear in mind; no art can deco
rate equal to the forms, colors, shad-
ings, intricate loopings and draperies
of healthy vines and flowers, so there is
no necessity for elaborate ornament il
the box itself; it should always be sub
ordinate to the plants therein. The
soil should be light and rich, and the
supply of water must be ample. Vick's

Management of Swine.

How can we best manage our present
crop of hogs during spring and early
summer, and how can we get the earliest
green feed for them, as corn is scarce
and dear?
Ans Hogs which have been winter
ed. will not only live, but thrive on
grass or clover pasture. They cen be
kept along on such pasture withou6
other food until spring grain is ripe.
Peas are the best feed for hogs, AMI
these will he ready in about q months
after sowing Barley is next best of the
spring grains, and Will mature sooner
than the peas. Early sweet corn can be
utilized to good advantage to be followed
by later varieties, and fed stalks and
all and the hogs will eat it with great
relish There are more fattemng prop
critics in sweet corn stalks than most
people suppose. With the above aux
iliaries hogs may be kept growing
through the summer, and be fattened
without any corn. Young pigs, how
ever. will require something more
than pasture. Wheat middlings, or
ground oats with the hulls sifted ont,
and slightly fermented VIII make the
best kind Of food for pigs. The bulls
of the oats are excellent for the calves
or COWS. If sows are su ckling pigs,
they Will require additional food until
the peas or barley are ready for them.
The hogs may be turned into the peas,
and thus harvesting and grinding will
be unnecessary. Wheat might take the
place of corn, and if ground entire in
small quantitiesit WILDE excellent food
for swine.-Rural New Yorker

why Apprentices are Scarce.

A contemporary writer saysi it is prin-
cipally because of the conceit of weak
and foolish parents who could not think
of allowing their boys to soil their hands
with manual labor or tarnish their pedi-
gree by assoeiating with common work
men. Many and many young man
have I known whose aptitudes called to
him with all the imperious demands of
instinct to learn a trade, but he was
prevented from doing so by his parents,
who preferred to see him filling the
more important and dignified position
of clerk, often working fifteen hours a
day for S15 per month, and sometimes
Welding to the small temptation TO leave
unpaid his tailors and washerwomans
bills. Or, if he escaped the clerkship,
he was almost sure to be found among
the Iuckless ninety -and-nine profession
al men who stand off and
eve with green envy the
one in the round hundred who has
made a success. 1t is not the lack OF
attention to the new workman that is
lowering the standard in mechanical
trades, but the folly of parents in clos
ing the doors of the trades in the face
of their sons, and in the absence of
good material we get bad. 1t is very
often the case that we get hold of boy
who has few or no qualifications, natural
or acquired, for a trade, but he can
probably make more money at that than
at common labor, and, as we can get no
better, we have to do the best we can.
There is no doubt we are getting poor
er subjects every year for apprentices
for this very reason. But we can reach
a point so low that it is impossible to
get anv lower, and ] believe we have
about cached that point in some lines
of business. Some parents, and boys
too, are at last getting their eyes opened
They are learning that they cannot
plant dudes and raise men. Many
bubbles have been pricked, and
much gliding has worn through. La
Dor is becoming more dignihed, because
more than ever before it is welded to
thought The manual training schools
which are springing up in nearly all of
our large cities are giving instruction
to many boys whose parents, perhaps,
would not at first consent to them en-
tering the shops. These schools are
doing a good work in teaching the prin-
ciples Of trades, in fostering genuine
love fer mechanics, and in pointing out
the way to the special field where the
young man can labor with the assurance
of receiving his highest reward. With
such Frightening. prospects as the work
of the manual training school warrants
we see no reason for fearing that the
race of good workmen in any trade will
soon die out. On the contrary, we be-
lieve we will see mechanics increasing
in numbers and skill from year toyear.

Why the Marriage Did Not Take
Place.

What is said to be the true story Of
the postponement of the wedding Of
Hugh J. Jewett's daughter Julia and
the subsequent breaking of the engage
ment with young Mccormack of the
great mower and reaper concern at Chi
cago, is just beginning to be talked
about at the clubs in New York. The
wedding was to have taken place some
three or four months ago. Mccormack
came on three weeks before the day set.
In that time he managed to so offend
his affianced's sense of propriety by
boasts of his wealth and other similar
gaucheries that he became actually Of
fensive to her. She told her sister she
would never forgive herself if she mar
ried him Her father was absent from
home, but her brothers insisted that if
would disgrace the family for her at that
late day to throw Mccormack over and
won her reluctant consent to let the
ceremony take place Mr.. Jewett got
home on Saturday night before the
Wednesday set for the wedding. When
he learned of the change of his daugh-
ter's affection he said there was only one
rule by which he should be guided. 1t
she did not love the man she should
not marry him. As for any disgrace
involved in acting under such rule, he,
as the head of the family, was prepared
to meet it. 1t is said the boys felt
rather cut up at their fathers decision,
as they had hoped much from the union
of two such prominent families. But
everybody whose opinion is worth hav-
ing commends Mr.. Jevett's action.

Early Pig Pasture.

What is it best to SOW for an early
pasture for pigs, the coming summer
on prairie soil newly broken?
Ans. It IS not advisable to pasture
some grasses at all, or to pasture very
early, the same season the seed is sown
but the best you can do is to SOW fom
pounds of Orchard Grass, six pounds
White Glover, four pounds Kentucky
Blue Grass and II pounds Red clover
seed to the acre. TO this you might
add three pounds of Northern Red Top.
The White Glover is very early and is
closely followed by Kentucky Blue
Grass and Orchard Grass. Harrow
the ground well and brush in the seeds
If you can do this Just before q rain all
the better. Ar the seeds mentioned
may besown togetherin the early spring.
You might SOW patch of rye for pas
ture to ease the grass, but the success
of this you can best determine for your
self -RuraI New Yorker

Growing Celery.

From the Western Rural.
We are asked to give directions for
the cultivation of celery. Sow the seed
in the open ground as soon as the
ground is fit to work The ground
should be level and the soil mellow and
rich, and it is better when it is being
thoroughly pulverised, which it ought
to be, to mix it with short stable manure.
Sow in rows eight inches apart, using
one ounce of seed to every twenty feet
of row. After sowing roll or pat down
with spade. As soon as the plants
appear hoe lightly between the rows,
and pull out the weeds as soon as they
are seen. As the plants advance in
growth cut off the tops-perhaps twice
before planting as that process in
duces a stocky growth and plants
treated thus suffer less in trans
planting, 1t may be planted
any time from the middle of June to
the middle of August, but little is gained
in planting before July. Prepare
ground, and plant on level surface
with rows three feet apart and the
plants sixteen inches apart in the rows,
if it is a dwarf variety, five feet apart
if of the large varieties. Firm the
soil about the plant, especially if it is
dry. After planting, nothing need be
done for SIX weeks, except to run be-
tween the rows with acultiyator and keep
the plants free from weeds. About the
middle of August begin to earth up to
blanch up what is wanted FOR use in
September, October and November
Draw the soil up about the plant with a
hoe and firm it about it, so that the
leaves shall he in an upright position
Then draw more dirt up about the row.
A pillow may be used for this purpose.
But the blanching processis completed
only when the soil IS taken from be
tween the rows and banked up to the
top of the plants on each side.
