USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

All proposed Improvements may be
Ieisurely considered at this season, but
do not let that be the end of them.
Dispose of the small potatoes by
boiling and mixing meal with them,
and feeding to the pigs. A better feed
for fattening purposes is hard to obtain.
Toledo Blade.
Make a study of feeding. The
animal which comes out in good con-
dition in the spring has long ways the
start of one that, from insufficient food,
must take month on grass to get
thrifty again. Exchange.
Hanging plants dry out rapidly.
Plunge the pots or baskets in a pail or
tub Of water, and after they have ceased
to drip, return them to their places.
The water, however, should be of the
same temperature as the room.
Bread Sauce: Pour half pint of
boiling milk on teacupful of fine
bread-crumbs and small onion, stuck
with three or four cloves. a small blade
of mace, few peppercorns and salt to
taste. Let the sauce simmer five min
utes, add small pat of fresh butter,
and at the time of serving remove the
onion and mace.-BOst07a Globe.
Fried Potatoes: Peel number of
raw potatoes as apples are peeled. Let
the parings be as near as possible the
same thickness and let them be as long
as possible. Dry them thoroughly in a
cloth and put them in the frying basket
and plunge it in boiling lard. When
they are a golden color drain them well
in front of the fire, sprinkle fine salt
over, and serve.-1He Household.
For citron pudding take half a pint
of cream, one tablespoonful of flour,
two ounces of sugar and little grated
nutmeg. Mix all these ingredients to-
gether with the well beaten yelks of
three eggs. Cut two ounces of citron
into thin slices, place pieces of it in
small buttered molds or cups, fill them
with the mixture and bake until the
pudding assumes light brown color.
This quantity will make five buildings,
which are sufficient for a side DISH
Detroit Post.
The most serious problem now de-
handing solution at the hands of the
farmers is how to reach consumers di-
rect with their farm products. Our
farmers to-day are not so much con-
cerned in widening the area under culti-
walton as in growing larger and better
crops on present areas and in securing
more remunerative prices for that
which they do raise. The middleman
exacts by far too large percentage OF
the farmers profits for his services.
Some practical system of cooperation
among the farmers in buying and sell
ing is essential to their success.-M T.

assayed until got to FL Paso. But !
inquired about the price of land, and
found could buy that piece OF ground
for about $4,000 I've come on here

What do you think the ore is WORTH"

Did you pick this off the groundP
g Certainly, he replied.

he was beginning to be frightened

have ever seen, I said. very decidedly.
6 The fellow WINGED, and | con-
tinued: you don't know anything
about ore, and you don't know any
thing about Mexican land. This ore
came from some mine more than
twenty feet under ground, and it ISM
necessary to buy Mexican land before
starting a mine. You tell your story
well, but you'll have hard work to find
ANYBODY who will give you $4,000 to
pay for Mexican land. Get out.
:. There's a great difference, you
know, in the appearance of ore that
has lain on the surface any length OF
time and that of ore just dug from I'M
der ground. The latter is more crys-
talized, for one particular. The sur
face pickings are what we call the re-
suits of blowout. Two drifts, COM
ing together peak-shaped, are gradu-
ally projected out by the washing away
of the earth. Water gets in the crew
ices, and, after awhile, the peak breaks
into pieces, which are scattered over
the surface. If that chap had had sur
face ore he might have been believed.

NOT WHAT SHE SEEMED.
The Other Side of the Young Lady the
Men Stared at Through the Window.

The Other Side of the Young Lady the
Men Stared at Through the Window.
She sat at window on public
street, and day after day the crow d
who passed saw her at the sewing-ma-
chine. The old men mentally re-
marked that she was a perfect lady,
and the young men voted her the rival
of a June rose. IF she had raised her
eyes to, the window she might have met
the plying gaze of various bald-heads,
and the admiring glances of legions Of
Washers, but she never did SO. Noses
were wiped and handkerchiefs waved
within foot of the glass, but she
hemmed and tucked and gathered and
plated as if utterly unconscious of the
existence of the outside world.
It is probable that five hundred men
glanced into that window in the course
Of the day, but the sewing machine
never stopped humming on their ac-
count.
Things had been going on this way
for months when, only the other day,
widoWer with heart full of pity for
the unfortunate got himself up regard
less of expense and boldly entered the
place. The charmer was there alone.
With melting soul he approached the
sewing machine and laid his heart up
on it. That is, he coughed, gurgled,
stammered and inquired if she
wouldn't prefer to boss a ffteen-thou-
sand-dollar brick house rather than
1nake shirts for seventy-five cents per
day.
The charmer rose up. She had a
short leg. That side of her face which
the public had never seen displayed
three moles and bad scar. That eye
which the public had never gazed into
contained a squint, and she had bad
front teeth. She made a grab at a
yard-stick and said something about
settling an old buffers hash pretty
internally quick" and the widower
broke for out doors. His sympathizing
and palpitating heart was left behind
him as he went, but the charmer picked
it up and followed after him and
heaved it into the gutter with the re-
mark:
I've just been waiting for chance
to break some of your necks, and
don't you put your hoofs in here again

MILLIONAIRE YlP,s WIFE NO. 8.
An Oriental Tale of Love and Loss and
Literature from Canton.

An Oriental Tale of Love and Loss and
Literature from Canton.
In the Canton Saten Ye 30 recently
appeared the following story:
Ten years ago our well-known but
eccentric townsman Zip Ia Show was
millionaire, his wealth being estimated
at 4, 25o, 900 taels ($5, o,ooo). He lived
in elegant style, and for each of his ten
wives he provided a mansion and re-
tinue of servants. His habits were the
same as those of our jeatnesse doree. He
frequently paid fifty dollars for a per-
fumed bath, and four hundred dollars
for a dinner or evening supper.
Beyond this extravaganza living he in
dulged in cards and speculation on the
Bourse. His wives, and especially wife
No. 6, became alarmed and repeatedly
besought him to change his ways and
give up his, spendthrift habits. He
promised to reform, but did not
His wives held council of war, and,
after a long discussion among them
selves and with their friends, left Zip
in body, taking what property they
could. Wife No. was the favorite,
and succeeded in carrying off about
100000 taels. Instead of fleeing the
realm she went to another part of the
city, and there, under the assumed
name of Mrs. Woo. bought hand
some residence and settled down to
live
Zip persevered in his downward
course. and. in another wear, had lost
his entire fortune. He became street
peddIer. He had some poetic and
literary ability, and made miserable
income by printing and selling his
poems and other literary productions
at about one cent a copy. Thus, for
nine years, he managed to keep body
and soul together, making sometimes
ten taels week, and sometimes, when
he met the friends of his past, two or
three thousand taels at once. He was
not altogether friendless, as wife No.
6 kept her eyes OF him, and time and
time again, when business was very
bad and he was penniless, she bought
up his stock of songs and essays at full
value, he being ignorant who the pur-
chaser was.
On the 18th of last month, when his
wife and son were celebrating the lat
ter's birthday, he entered the house to
sell his latest poems. By accident the
servant, an ignorant woman from Yu
Nam, showed him into the sitting-room
of the house. His son, whom he did not
know, bought several poems, and had
Just paid for them when the door
opened and wife No. entered.
The recognition was mutual, and
after ten minutes of explanation a
reconciliation was effected. Yesterday
written agreement was fled in the
Cheefoo's yamen, (Mayor's office
whereby Zip was assured an annual IN
come of 10, 700 taels, subject to reYoca-
ton by his wife and son on six months
notice in writing to Hon Qua, the bank
er, who has assumed the trust. Zip has
givenup poetry as retail business, and
when seen by our editor was attired in
silk worthy of a Viceroy of Nankin.

THE "HooDooED" CLAIM.

A Piece of Mining Property that Brings
Bad Luck for Those Who Work It.
There is superstition prevailing
among a number of the miners in that
locality that a certain claim in Iowa
gulch is an unlucky one. 1t got
started in some way that a man
who worked in that claim was
sure to meet with bad luck of some
kind. He would either get blown up
by giant powder, or fall down ladder,
or the mine would cave in on him, or
some other equally undesirable occur
renee would take place. BY degrees
the belief became SO prevalent that
property was considered hoodooed, "
to use slang expression. The results
that nobody will work it at all, and the
owners are at loss to know what to do
for men.
A Herald reporter having heard of
the superstition, for, of course, it is
nothing more or less than a supersti-
ton, accosted an old miner last night
and asked him whether he was one of
those who believed the stories that were
being circulated.
Well, to tell the truth, I mus com
fess / do believe some of them, strange
as it may seem to you. =
s'What foundation have you for your
belief ?' asked the reporter.
The old miner took fresh chew of
tobacco and said: 'sThe fact that so
many who have worked it have had bad
luck of some kind or other makes me
think there is something in it. know
one man who had not been at work in
that internal hole more than two days
before he was taken down with pneu-
monia, and he came very near dying.
Another went to work there and his
cabin was robbed before week. A
third one tried it, and he fell from lad
der and came near being killed; that
satisfied him and he quit. Besides these
there have been several other mishaps
to men working the claim, and they fol-
lowed each other in such close sue
.cession and with such unvarying GER
tainty that the men at last came to the
conclusion that there was bad luck in
some way connected with the property
'.Is the claim worth anything?n asked
the reporter.
eyes, if it was developed I think it
would turn out to be good property;
but |, for one, would not work in it if it
was given to me.
Might it not be q job put up by some
one who wants to buy itP'' asked the
news hunter.
II don't know about that, replied
the miner, s'but don't see how so
many of the men could get to believe it
if there wasn't something in it. No,
sir, it's no job, that claim has bad luck
for any man that works it: You may
call it superstition or anything you like,
but [ don't go to work in it. y
Seeing there was no chance to shake
the old miners belief that there was
some supernatural agency that had cast
a spell Of bad luck over the Inflated
property, the reporter left him firm in
his faith. Leadvtlle Herald.
