A Careful Man.

Judge Bollingsworth is unfortunate.
The other night after a hard day work
he did not 60 home until after the
family had eaten supper.
Il won't put you to any trouble to
get me anything to eat" he said to his
wife. IN 90 out and get lunch"
You'll find everything in the safe.
Don't leave anything on the table for
the mice are awful bad"
When the Judge returned to the sit
ting room his wife asked:
did you put everything away?"
yes"
"Did you shut the safe door?"
Yes"
"Did you shut it tight?"
Yes"
"What did you do with the lampq"
"What lamp?"
1.-The lamp you took with you
Didn't bring it back?"
No"
BLEW it out then, l guess"
When the fire bells rang. a bright
blaze lit up a certain part of the town.
When the engines arrived, the Judge
was seen walking about in an excusa-
BILE scarcity of dress. He had shut the
lamp up in the safe.-ArkGnSdU TrGc-

LOVE IN THE MEADOW.

See where she comes, across the meadow
singing,
Her song to Junes sweet music sweetness
bringing,
Her carol through the whispering reeds a.
ringing,
And one thing and another.
List, how her song with birds and zephyr
blending,
With ripping runs of babbling brook con-
tending.
Growls down to G, and then again ascending,
WhOOps her up nightly.
Lo! with her feet the bending daisies spurn-
ing,
Her queenIy head to right nor left Affirming,
Her Juno eyes tender, yet eager, yearning,
Looking for somebody.
Erosl She loves him! Note her Weakening
chances,
With love-bOrn speed how swiftly she ad-
vanceS.
Land How she bellowsl And he-how he
prances
Her calf; strayed over in the sheep lot.

A QUEER TRADE.
How a Couple of Florida Turtles Managed
to Trade Shells.


to Trade Shells.
81 had a soft-shell turtle once" said the
Major, ''that could beat any turtle on a
trade [ ever saw. Where L lived the pond
on my place was very small one, and in
summer time got pretty low, especially if
the season was a very dry one. The sum-
mer was very dry one in 1871, and Jud as,
which was the name of my turtle and he
was a little fellow-wouldn't weigh over
eight poundS-had bad time of it. The

fever most all the time One day l was
walking down by the pond when L noticed
him and big turtle talking very earnestly
together. L stepped behind tree so that
they couldn't see me, and watched the fun.
Judas was trying to get the land turtle to
trade shells with him. They argued long
time, and l was afraid Judas wasn't going
to make it, Presently a bright idea
seemed to strike him. He whispered to old
hard-shell, the latter nodded yes, and then
Judas went into the pond. When he came
out he had a young goSling that had got

IRONING.
How This Difficult Homework Can BE
Done Nicely.

How This Difficult HOusework Can Be
Done Nicely.
AS in washing, everything should be
ready and in proper order before the
days work is begun. The irons should be
scrupulously clean and smooth; this can
be done by rubbing them with beeswax
and salt or powdered bath brick. The
heaviest irons accomplish the best work,
and should be used with rolling mo-
ton and strong pressure. Muslins and
prints do not require very hot irons. but
stiff white garments need hotter ones.
The ironing table and board should be
firm and strong and covered with q
coarse wooden blanket, over which a
clean coarse sheet should be pinned A
bosom board about eight inches wide,
and long board for skirts and dresses,
are a necessity to the laundry. Iron
holders should be padded to protect the
hand from burning. Collars, cuffs and
similar articles should be covered with
a clean, thin cloth, and the iron passed
over it several times, when it may be
removed and the iron passed directly
muslins that do not require polishing
should be carefully unrolled, one at a
time, and spread on soft blanket, COW
cred with thin, soft sheet. Laces, en-
broideries and trimmings must be care
fully pulled into shape, with all the
edges and purling picked out; those
needing ironing carefully Smoothed,
and those that do not, folded. Always
iron by the thread of the material. EN-
broidery should be ironed on the wrong
side of soft blanket.
In ironing shirts use heavy irons well
heated. First iron the thick bands,
then the bodies and sleeves, and last
the bosom, which should be rubbed
over with a clean cloth wrung out of
warm water. Then the iron should be
passed over rapidly, then rubbed again
with damp cloth and ironed until it
is polished To gloss the linen a
polishing iron with smooth, round edge
should be used with all possible force.
The thickest parts of dresses, such as the
Wristbands, the gathers and sleeves.
should be ironed first. Dresses should
always be ironed on the wrong side
first and finished on the right. Fine
muslins look much better if they are
ironed twice in opposite directions.
Caps, fichus and aprons, where the lace
is full, should have the frill ironed first.
In plating frills, each plat should be
laid by the thread, and held until
Toned in place.
While ironing is difficult work to ac-
complish nicely, any housekeeper who
will take the trouble to give personal
supervision to the work will soon teach
even an Indifferent servant to do it
properly. A willing hand, guided by
kind and intelligent instructor, will
soon overcome all obstacles and make
the work easy.-Mrs. Eliza r. Parker.

the community was that he had stolen the

FORGERY FOR INSURANCE.

WILKEs-BARRE, Pa, Aug. 5.-An in
teresting case of the forgery of will was
heard to-day in the registers court,
showing an Ingenious scheme to secure
large amount of insurance money. In
1869 Beckwilh A. Brockway, resident
of Beach Haven, insured his life for
$4,000, of which $4,000 was in the
Etna Company of New York, $4,000
in the Connecticut Mutual, and $1,000
in the Newark Mutual. He died within
one year afterward, aud distant rela-
tive named Daniel Z. Seybert produced
will of Brockway witnessed by his
brother, William Wallace Seybert, by
which he was left sole executor and
legatee. The companies refused to pay
the money on the ground that he had no
insurance interest in Brockway's life.
In 1872 he brought suit against the
.H,tna, but the case fell through. Moth
ing more was done by him until 1882,
when he began proceedings against the
Newark Mutual. While the trial of this
ease was in progress, however, he and
his confederate had o quarrel, and
William Seybert divulged the whole
plot, testifying that the will had been
forged by them for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the insurance money. Then the
natural heirs Of BrockwRy began pro.
ceedings in the registers court to have
the will set aside, and at the Gnal trial
to-day, the evidence of the forgery be-
ing overwhelming, the will was set aside.
The natural heirs will now bring suit
against the companies for the insurance
money, which with interest amounts to
nearly $1,000
