cradle property; most of which was in
cash. lie would not trust his money to
the keeping Of bank, but had it about
his own premises, keeping the hiding
place secret even from his own family,
A short time ago hStold his wife thai
he had hidden about $4,000 in money.
and that pretty soon he would inform
her OF its whereabouts, SO that in case oil
his death, she would know where Ia
look Tor il. He neglected to do this,
and about a week ago he died of apo
plexy. After his death an examination
Of his papers showed that he had 1885,
600 in money hidden about his Dremi-
ses. The most thorough search
failed to reveal the hiding
place, and the widow began to
despair. Then she was impressed with
the notion that if she prayed with faith
the Lord would direct her to the place
where the money was hidden. Wednes.

citem sEt of expectation she knocked
over one of the hives. disclosing to heI
view the top OF q bench with q pile ol
greenbacks of large denominations upon
it. A search under the other hives re.
suited in finding a total of $15, 600. In
the afternoon one Of the family dropped
q bunch Of keys through the barn floor,
which necessitated taking up q plank tc
find them, and when the young man put
his hand down he struck a halfgallon
fruit jar, which he pulled out to find
partly filed with 500 gold pieces. Other
jars and a grain bag were also found con
tanning gold and silver, and when it had
sill been counted the total amount figured
up over $2l3,0o0. The widow was over
ioyed, and in her statement to the cor
respondent said she believed that The
discoveries were in direct answer to hel
prayers.

The Worlds Exposition.

TheWorld's Exposition that is to be
opened at New Orleans is SO far per-
fected in all its departments thatit is
now in order to state that it will be
the largest worlds fair ever held.
The buildings are larger than those
erected for the Philadelphia centenni-
al. The exhibits out-number those of
any previous exposition. Each of the
States, except possibly one or two.
will be represented by an exhibit.
Congress has made aloan of 81 900, 900
in favor of this centennial exposition.
The United States government will
make a special exhibit, the largest it
has ever attempted, costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and to that
end a mammoth building Is being cree
ted in the group of exposition build
ings. The Mexican government has
appropriated 5000, 900 and will erect a
special building for its unique display.
The Central American republics have
been aroused from their long slumbsr
and will be fully represented for the
first time among the great nation, of
the earth. At the exposition one may
learn more about the natural re-
sources of those regions than by an
ordinary visit to Mexico or Central
America. To lovers of music visit
to the Exposition will be highly grat>
flying, as there is music hall capable
ofseating II, 900 persons and stage
large enough to hold 900 musicians.
Grand concerts will be given during
the season. Besides this, the fact
ought to be known that New Orleans
is the only city in the Union that has
had an established opera during half
a century. Nor is this all. Strangers
think themselves well payed by max
ing a visit of pleasure to thequaint old
city at any time. During the carni
val season tens of thousands of visi.
tors flock to the Crescent City to see
the gorgeous pageants prepared
annually at an expense to the citizens
of from 100000 to 100000. This
lavish expenditure of money is for
the qualification of strangers and home
folks, and the displays are absolute
ly free. The citizens of the South
ern metropolis who do such lar5e
things, in such large way, have
pledged their word TO make their
Worlds Fair the browning event of
the century, and they will do it.

A New Use of Wire Fences.

A correspondent writes to the Bal
timore Sun to say that he attached a
telephone to IA barbed wire fence half
a mile long, after making a circuit of
about two miles long, over which he
talked very well, indeed. He says:
II believe every line of barbed wire
can be used with telephone, and if the
wire is of good quality, long distances
can be covered as well as not. l pre-
dict that ere long railroad companies
will use their barbed wire fences in
this way, and that farmers an others
will follow suit" An experienced
practical electrician, at the head of
one of the largest telephone compa
MES, says that under ordinary circum>
stances barbed wire fence could be
used for transmitting telephone mes
sages without any special preparation,
but that in wet weather some insula.
ton of the wire would be necessary.
The whole thing could only be deter
mined by experiment. He thought
farmers would SO utilize their fences.

Keeping Fruit Without Cans.

Ed. Prairie Farmer: In preserving
fruits for the family, it is often desi-
rable to use bowls and other vessels,
that cannot I've sealed up, for holding
the preserves. This can be done,
and the fruit kept securely for any
length of time, by closing all aper
lures with cotton batting. We use
the unglazed batting, such as sold in
the stores rolled up in blue paper.
Directions: Use crooks, stone butter
jars, or any other convenient dishes.
Prepare and cook the fruit precisely
as for canning in glass jars; fill your
dishes with the fruit while yet hot,
and Immediately cover with cotton
batting securely tied on. Remember
that all putrifaction is caused by the

The story of the wealth of meaning
in these two little words occurs in
the life of st. Philip Neri. He met
a young law student in Rome, who
gave him a rose-colored statement of
hi. outlook in life. As each plan and
purpose was unfolded Ut. Philip asked
he question, land then?" When
the student had gone through the
version of his future, picturing long
and prosperous career. the Saint still
urged the question. II suppose |

ry concluded with the statement that
the young man was SO impressed by
the question that he forsook the law,
gave himself TO the ministry of the
gospel, and became successful in vim
