Lest She Should Fall Dead.

Philip Guyer of Paterson, N. j., lost
large sum of money by theft recently.
He suspected an old woman in the
neighborhood, but did not have suffi-
cient evidence to warrant his making a
complaint against her. What made it
the more suspicious was that the woman
called every morning to ask Mr.. Guyer
if he had got any trace of the thief. The
following story is told by Paterson
police official Mr.. Guyer ascertained
that she was very superstitous, and the
next morning when she called and asked
as usual, if there was any news of the
thief, he replied;
"No; but I expect to know who it
was tonight"
"How ?" asked the woman.
"Do you see those three nails ?" said
Mr.. Guyer, showing the woman three
very old and rusty nails. "Well, they
came from coffin that has been buried
for hundred years"
"The Virgin save u.s." said the
woman.
"And do you see that paper?"
81 do"
"Well, that is prayer, which 1 just
got from the priest"
"And what are you going to do With
those things?"
"Well, answered Mr.. Guyer, slowly
and impressively looking the woman in
the face, tonight at IL o'clock am to
go into certain yard where there is a
pear tree. / am to nail that prayer to
the tree with these three nails. Every
time drive nail ] am to repeat that
prayer aloud. When 1 drive the last
nail and repeat the prayer for the last
time, the person who stole the money
will drop dead"
The woman turned pale, and departed
without saying word. That evening,
about 8 o'clock, there was rap at his
front door. He went to the door and
there was no one in sight, but on the sill
he found small package containing
the money that had been stolen.

A Capture.

A Chicago constables went into the
suburbs to serve judgment for $86 on
poor widow. The woman had not the
means to satisfy the Judgment, and the
constable looked around to see if tn ere
wasn't something he could levy upon
But the widow had nothing in the house
save rickety bedstead, three or foul
common chairs, pine table and few
other things of no value. The consta
BILE was about to return disgusted, wher
he noticed flock of geese in a pool o.
water near the house. "Are these beau
tiful geese yoursP" asked the constable
of the old lady. "Yis, sir" was the in,
nocentreply, "them is mine, an they
are all the comfort have" "Well,
said the constable, 81 guess I'll take
en-" and stripping off his coat, he pro
ceeded to capture and tie the geese,
performance which took him severa
hours. He then made a proud entry
into the city.

An Old Superstition.

A curious story comes from Brent.
ford, England. servant of DIR. Terry
was sent out to carry message. She
was short-sighted, and, failing to return,
it was feared she had fallen into the
canal. 1t was dragged, but without
success. Several days later an old barge
woman suggested that loaf of bread in
which some quicksilver had been placed
should be Aoated on the water. This
was done and the loaf became stationary
at certain point. The dragging was
resumed at this point and the body
found. The superstition is said to be
centuries old, but 10 one had seen it
tried there for many year.

Feeding and Dressing Fowls.

Mrs. Fanny Field, an authority on
poultry matters, reports through The
Prairie Farmer that she has had best
success in fattening by use of as much as
the hens or turkeys can eat clean of a
mixture morning and noon of boiled
potatoes, beets and carrots, thickened
with corn and barley meal, and whole
corn at night, and milk kept by them
constantly in abundant supply:
"Ten days or two weeks of such feed
ing will put fowls in prime condition fol
market, 4. e., if they are in decent order
to begin with; but if they have been
half starved all summer, no amount of
extra feeding will ever make them as
good for table use as the fowls that have
been well kept all their lives. The best
market turkeys I ever saw were we'll fed
from the time they were twenty hours
old. For the last month they were fed
three times daily-cooked vegetables and
meal at morning and noon, and corn at
night. They had all they would eat up
clean each time, but no food was left in
their feeding places. They had free
range, but don't think they went ten
rods from the buildings. When killed
they were between six and seven months
of age, and the dressed weight of the
eighty was 1885 pounds"
Reasonable objection is made to con-
fining in close, dark pens; give light and
comfortable room for exercise, even if
this humane treatment renders necessary
the use of handful more of food:
"Twice we tried fattening turkeys in
pens in barn cellar where it was only
light enough to enable the fowls to see
to eat; the cellar was dry and warm,
food and drink we're kept in the pens all
the time, but those turkeys would only
eat just enough to keep from starvation,
and they actually weighed less after
three weeks of confinement than they
did when we shut them up. I happen
to know half dozen other people who
tried the same thing with the same re-
suit"
Mr.. D. W. Lewis takes up the sub
iect from the commercial point OF view,
and in a recent circular reminds farmers
of the requisites for securing highest
prices in the New York market:
"Fowls should not be fed for twenty.
four hours before killing, as food in the
crop is liable to sour and injure its sale.
Bleeding in the mouth is the best mode
of killing. Heads and feet should be
left on. In dressing, the water should
be as near the boiling point as possible,
without actually boiling. Dip the bird
into the water three times, holding it by
the legs. The feathers must be then
quickly and thoroughly removed, with.
out breaking the skin. Then dip into
boiling water two seconds, and imme-
diately afterward into cold water the
same length of time. Wet dressed poul-
try is generally preferred up to Thanks
giving, after which time dry picked has
the preference. Small fat turkeys sell
best the season through, except at
Thanksgiving and Christmas, when
large. dry picked birds only are wanted.
Geeseel best at Christmas"

JIM FISK,S PALACE CAR.
Fitted Up Regardless of Expense and Now
serving as a Wrecking Car.

On siding near the repair shops of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad is an old car, bearing on its
side the legend ''Tool Car" 1t is used
to carry the wrecking gang of the Sus-
quehanna division and their tools. I
was looking at the car recently, says a
San correspondent, and one.of the en-
ployees said
IL suppose you would be surprised
you knew to whom this car used to be-
long"
"Whose was it?" asked.
'This car" he replied, ''has rather a
remarkable history. When Jim Fisk
was President of the old Erie he had a
car built for his own private use, and it
was named after Josie Mansfield. The
car was built down in Delaware some
where, 1 think, and it cost mint of
money. When Fisk ordered it he only
gave instructions to build him car in
which he could travel and enjoy himself.
When it was finished and delivered to
Fisk he was SO pleased with the work
manship that he Immediately sent a
check for 81 900 to the man who had de-
signed the car and had charge of the
work. The actual cost of the car was
not far from $4,000, which in those
days was an enormous sum for one car.
1t was fitted up throughout in the most
luxurious style. 1t was finished inside
with oiled walnut and cherry, and the
panels were adorned with oil paintings
which alone cost large sum. All the
appointments of the Car were correspond
ingly expensive. At one end were sleep.
ing apartments, and dressing and toilet
rooms. The remainder of the car was
travelling drawing In those DAYS
the idea of taking meals on board a train
was unheard of, but Fisk used to have
wine and delicacies for lunch, and hired
butler, whose special duty was to take
charge of the car, wherever it went.
"In those days he used to do some
pretty tall travelling. He had an engine
at his command, and when he wanted to
go over the Erie he went flying along at
at rapid rate, regardless of all other
rains, which had to get out of the wey.
1t was Fisk who ran the fast train over
the Erie carrying relief for the sufferers
by the Chicago fire. When he made up
his mind to send out the relief train. he
sent for Engineer Sam Walker, of Port
Jervis, to come to his private office.
"'Sam, he says, 4 want you to run
that train through to Port Jervis as
quick as God will let you. If you are
killed I'll look out for the wife and little
ones
''Walker took the train through in the
unparalleled time of two hours and ten
minutes. Nat Taft, I think, took it over
the Delaware division. At any rate, it
was tremendous run, and the Erie beat
them all into Chicago.
Fisk was a great favorite with the
railroad mon. He always had a good
word for us whenever he was around.
When Fisk died the car was used by his
successor for while, and afterward did
some duty on the eastern part of the
road. 1t afterward found its way here
for repairs. When they came to look it
over, they decided that it would be USE
less expense to repair it, and SO, after
lying on the switch for a year or two, it
was turned into wrecking car, as you
now see it."
