EconomiZtng Time on the Farm.

How to use time to the best adVan-
tage In the busy season of the year is
what every farmer should study we'll
1t Is not enough that he works hard
all day long scarcely taking time to
eat his meals, if his work is not done
right, in the right time and in the right
way. Doing the work in the right time
will save much unnecessary labor, by
keeping all kinds OF farm implements
ready for use when needed, keeping
fences upso as not to be troubled with
runaway cattle; but especially in the
raising OF crops is it necessary to be in
time, both in seeding and harvesting
and keeping the weeds down from the
spring of the year, so as not to let
them get start, or they will be hard
to conquer latter in the season.
To do things in the right way in
cludes a great deal, and only the out
lines can begiveni in a short article like
this. The first is to do one thing at q
time, and do it thoroughly, not be
shifting from one work to another, for
in this way much time is lost. One
thing which is overlooked is to have
everything handy; have all kinds of
feed close by where 1T Is to be fed;
have the corn-crib near to the hog pas
ture, the hay close to the barn or sta
bic, and water for both cattle and
house near at hand, for in this way it
will not take more than half the time
to do chores as it will if everything
that is fed must be carried, even If not
thought to be far. 1t is surprising
how much time will be walked away
for nothing in the course of a year.
Order should be strictly observed in
everything, in having a place for all
kinds of tools, and having them in
their place when not used. While no
method~can be mechanically followed
in dividing up the labor on the farm,
still it can be arranged by establishing
certain rules so as to save much time.
In this way more can be done in ten
hours work than in fourteen hours
where no order is followed therefore
it is necessary to plan well before COM
mencing on all kinds Of work.-Ger-

FARM. GARDEN AND HOME.
To 1.-THE Angel of the House,

BY EDWARD FRElbERGER.
hope, sweet friend, thou wilt be pleased TO
know
That in distant land there dwelleth one
Whose thoughts reach out, on this thy natal
day,
To thee, for whom another symphony
OF time Is to begin: its music
To be attuned to noble deeds, to thought,
To love, to kindness, to friendship, faith.
Old Father Time the sole composer is
Whose constant music, sad or joyful, man
Perforce doth hear! The noblest orchestra
Is Nature, while the life OF every man
Is aye voice TO full completeness give
The master harmony divine sublimel
Each life affects, so grandly swells the theme,
One other life, more, and they self hear
Their song who sing for thee. The tones OF thy
SOFT speaking are so pure, so sweet, so true
That they make consonance with all who sing,
Yet hear their truest echo in thy heart.
On this, the day that first thy voice was
heard
Thy parents, brothers, sisters, friends do JOY
And bless thy name. They ask of Him who
tunes
The vastly, clamoring sea, that thy sweet speech
May long be heard on earth to gladden. hearts
And bring delight and love, content and peace;
That in thy chosen path thyeyery step
May lead to victory; that all thy life
May be melody OF health, of grace,
A harmony OF perfect happiness.

What One Girl Did.
from the Pittsburg Dispatch. /

rom the PlttSbUrg Dispatch. /
For three or four days she has been
noticed about the Union Depot, a
modest, nice-looking young Irish
woman. She would come down about
the time the immigrant trains were ex-
pected IN, and wait eagerly for their
arrival. Then she would go away
looking disappointed and down
hearted. The gateman knew what it
meant. She was expecting some one
from across the water. Yesterday
she was at her post again, Just inside
the gate, waiting for the passengers.
maggie, darlint," almost screamed
buxom, white-haired old woman,
who came through the crowd with
three children, and twice as many
bundles. The latter were dropped,
and the old lady threw both her arms
about the young one, and three chill
children, screaming maggie Maggie"
completely blocked the passage way
for few minutes, embracing her.
That girl has a story" remarked
the gateman to a reporter; "seven
years ago that girl, Maggie Mccarthy,
came to this country alone, and com
menced working out. She was the
Oldest OF large family, and her faith
er was dying OF consumption in the
rude little hut across the sea. She
didn't earn much, but what she did
she saved, and about eighteen months
ago she sent over for her two broth
ers, half-grown boys, and since that
she has saved up until a couple OF
months ago she sent home money
enough for the rest of them. The
father died two years ago. Now she
has them all with her, and what S bet
ter she has a little home to take
them to down at Woods Run, upon
which there is no debt I've known
something o. her for some time, and

served success it's Maggie Mccarthy"

Gum-BOOt Jake.

IL
A queer character known as Gum
Boot Jake, died at sailors boarding
house in Ohio Street on Saturday.
His real name was Jacob Jansen. He
had heavy scar on the left side of his
face, the result of a slash from a knife
received during a brawl in New York,
and his left leg had been crippled
in the same way. When he walked,
he both limped and twitched his face
He got his name a number of years
ago when a sailor on the schooner Co.
rean. The Corean began to leak in a
gale off Dunkirk, and it soon became
evident that she was going to pieces.
She was headed for the shore, and
grounded near Bay View. There was
an ugly sea on, and the life-boat at
Buffalo was long distance away. No
one could hope to swim ashore with a
line, and no common boat could live
in the breakers.
In this emergency Jansen took off
his big rubber boots, and, with a bit
of rope yarn, dashed the top of his
boots to his belt, and then secured
the soles of the boots to his breast
and back by spun yarn. As long as
the boots remained sole up the air IN
them would serve to float them and a
good deal more besides. With a line
tied around his waist Jansen lowered
himself over the lee rail; and in ten
minutes was dragged out Of the surf
by the farmers who had gathered on
the beach. By the aid of the curious
life preserver he had successfully buf-
feted the surf, communication between
the beach and the vessel was estab-
iished, and the rest of the crew were
easily taken off. The men named him
Gum Boot Jake on the spot, from the
use he made of his boots, and the

How Kit Carson's Life was Saved.

From the OlnCllndJl tOInultTtihi-l
During the late war thegreat Navajo
tribe of Indians were on the war path.
Nothing new in those days, but 1t
seemed as though remOrse was getting
the best of those who had control OF
the good and much-wronged Indians.
SO they ordered the LIST regiment n. NJ.
volunteers, commanded by the great
scout and Indian fighter, Col. Kit Car
son, to subdue and bring them into
eubiugation. Mai. Joe Cummings,
who had organized one of the first
companies of the regiment, and as
brave q man as ever lived, was one
dav riding at the head OF the COM
mand with old Kit, when the following
| incident took place: Kit was dressed
in his old suit Of pepper and salt, while
the major was in full reglmentals even
to epaulets. While Kit hated dress
and tinsel, the other lived to dress.
! They were now nearing canon and
Kits well-trained eyes were the first to
discover the smoke OF the redskins as
cending from the nelghborlng noun
tains, telegraphing the approach OF
the soldiers 1t was then that the Bug
hearted old trapper and patriot
turned to his friend and said: Joe,
YOU had better change your CO and
hat and put on a blouse and slouch
hat. for we will soon have hot work,
and the varments will surely aim for
the commander, and as you have on
your regimentals they may take you
for me; at any rate you make a splen-
did target" The major answered;
Colonel. it is no time to go now to
the rear" They We're the last words
ever uttered by the brave Cummings.
Bang! went a rifle, and as the smoke
cleared up beside a rock the brave
major fell, motally wounded, pierced
between the eyes by the unerring aim
OF a hidden foe, amid the wild yells q
the savages, hidden from view,
imagined they had killed the Create
scout that ever lived.

NTANTED-Four men to go tine Annual
w Cruise of the s. NJ. A. Bay Club July IS: no
liquors allowed Apply at once to P. S. HOrtz 49,
Bank Avenue, corner of Harmony Street
The above advertisement appeared
in q morning paper yesterday, with
results which came within an ace Of
driving Mr.. HOrtz, who is stock
broker, to the verge of insanity. The
rs. NJ A Bay Club is a social organ
izatiOn composed of a number OF gen
tlemen who each summer charter q
yacht and take pleasure cruise of q
week or ten days down the Delaware
River and Bay, stocking the yacht
with provisions, and now and then
going ashore for fresh fruits and veg
etables When Mr.. HOrtz inserted the
card it was with the intention of
augmenting the party selected for this
summer by four additional gentlemen,
so that the expense would be less for
each member of the yachts company.
The unemployed members of the mar
time profession in this vicinity did not
look at it in that light, however, and
the consequence was that all day long
a file OF strange, uncouth-looking men
streamed into the brokers' office and
expressed a desire to be engaged as
sailors, deck-hands, ships cooks,
boatswains, quartermasters, sail
makers, first mates, second mates
and cabin boys for the coming cruise
OF the rs. NJ A. Bay Club" The ma
jority of the applicants were weather
beaten old salts, with weather-like
compilations, rings IN their ears, and
strong saline language upon their lips,
which in many cases gave way to nau-
teal oaths and seafaring profanity OF
the most vigorous and terrific descrip-
ton when the true state of the case
was explained to them. Nine out of
every ten of the sailors elected great
streams of tobacco juice on the office
floor as they went away disgusted,
and the office-boy was worn out clean
ing up after them.
