Odd you ever know how Booth

eastern branch of the Potomac. that IA
tai night?" said.my friend. Twill tell
you as it was told to me by tho. Old SEN
tlnel who was that night on duty there.
A half hour before the time agreed up
ON by Booth to meet Harold, the latter,
who had lived in the neighboghood of
the bridge al his life,. and who was
across the river in the little. village of
Uniontown hen, crossedIthe bridge to
come over on the Washington side.
Who goes there?' saidi tho sentinel on
the bridge. A friend going for doc
tor replied Harold. Pass said the
sentinel. He quickly rode up Eleventh
street to- Pennsylvania avenue and
Eighth street, and there In the darkness
waited until the laundering hoofs cf
Booths horse were heard coming dowa
Pennsylvania avsnue. The two horse
men then started, down Eighth street
toward the bridge on that ride Tor their
lives, which eaded in CARROTS burning
barn in Virginia, a hundred miles away.
,, Who goes thene?' rang out on the al,
from the startled sentry as the two
horses came rushing toward to the
bridge. Harold was ahead and crieG

est gift ever awarded to woman-per
sonal magnetism. Beauty is called the
fatal gift, but personal magnetism,
which is independent Of beauty, is the
gift Of power, and, though scarcely
recognized at first, only relinquishes its
hold with death itself The popular
girl always has this fascination in more
or less degree, and if with it go the

Of her small sphere. Her friends do
not analyze the effect she has on them
they simply like her, love her, and

the stomach. It is the Office Of the
stomach to digest the heterogeneous parts
of the foods, and as the oats or corr
contain four or five times as much OF
these as the same amount of hay, it Is
obviously more important to have the
grain subjected to the full action OF the
gastric juices than to have the hay re-
tanned there. Hence in feeding grain
it should be fed after the hay ration has
been eaten. This is a matter well
worth remembering in feeding horses.

Harry has not yet seen her, and is
most unwilling to see her, despite the

At this thought he starts, and looks
decidedly uncomfortable, but he hur-

first dressing bell has ceased to ring.
He finds the lights low, and turns

A STRANGE SToRY.-The Toledo, Ohio,
Commercial Telegram publishes singular
story which, in substance, is that thirteen
years ago Thomas Hubbell, a farmer, resid.
ing in Moneclova township, Ohio, was sun
posed to have died and was buried. A few
years ago his friends received letter signed
in the dead mans name, saying that he is
alive and would visit them. Recently a
second letter of the same character was re-
ceived. This caused an examination of the
grave, and the casket was found to be emp
ty. An explanation of the mystery is said
to be that the grave was robbed and the
body sent to medical college in Michigan.
It was then discovered that the man was
not dead, but his mind being affected by
disease he could give no information con-
cerning his friends, and was placed in an
asylum, where he subsequently recovered.
A brother of the resurrected man has gone
to Michigan to investigate the matter. The
widow of Mr.. Hubbell married again seven
years ago.
The Toledo Blade gives the details of an
interview with some Of the relatives of
Thomas Hubbell. They place no credence
in the story that letters have been received
from him or that he is alive. They state
that Mr.. Hubbell died of pneumonia, and
that four days elapsed before the burial took
place. The grave has been opened and the
remains have not been fonnd, but with this
exception the story is pronounced without
foundation in fact.

The TROUBLES IN IRELAND.-Dr. Tai
mage in his sermon last Sunday morning
said:
1.-The prospects for Ireland are brighter
than I have ever seen them. All parties,
whether they like English government or
whether they don't like, are expecting to
see better times and great relief from suf-
feripg-there are large crops that are COM
ing into the garner. said to an intellec-
tual man whom met in Ireland, 1 have
read great deal about Ireland aud its poll
tical troubles; tell me in a few words what is
the relief that Ireland waits and of which we
hear so much He said, Suppose am the
landlord and you are the tenant and you
rent from me place for el0 year and you
improve it; you change it from bog into
garden, and the landlord comes and sees
these improvements and he says TO his
agent, How much does this man payH He
is told s10, and the landlord replies, Make
him pay 920,' and you pay it; and then you
60 on still making further improvements,
and the landlord comes round again and
seeing what you have done you are ordered
to pay f25. Well, you say you cannot pay
it and support your family, and the land
lord says, Pay it, or get out = and the man
is compelled to surrender his property, with
all the improvements that he has made upon
it. That was the condition of things until
recently. Now a commission has been es-
tablished whose duty it is to ascertain the
value of these improvements, and the land
lord must pay the outgoing tenant what is
right and reasonable. Then the govern.
ment comes forward, if man wants to buy
farm, and will lend him the money tobuy
it with if he gives the farm as security for
repayment. So that the bread question in
Ireland is likely to be settled"

Disagreement in Congregation.

Disagreement in Congregation.
The disagreement in st. Hedwig's Polish
Catholic) Church, Milwaukee, Wis, which
has been brewing for some time eliminated
in desperate fight and the narrow escape
of the priest and several others from death
Sunday The question at issue has been
the management of the parochial school
connected with the church. The priestand
part of the church members have been in
favor of placing the care of the school entire
ly in the hands of the nuns. Others favor
ed continuing the management in the hands
of the principal, who has been very popular.
The priest took advantage of the techni-
cal authority possessed by him as the eccle-
siastcal dictator of school affairs, and at
mass announced that the change which he
desired would take place at once. 1t SO
happened that the principle of the school
was the organist of the church. He refused
to play the organ, and the excitement grew
so intense that the services were brought to
an abrupt close.
Representatives of both sides of the con-
troversy Immediately waited on the priest
at his home to argue the matter, and
crowd collected outside the house. The
discussion between the friends of the oppo-
nents of the priest grew heated, and finally
took on pugilistic form. The noise inside
the house was taken up outside, and the cry
spread that the priest was being killed.
Thousands of Poles live in that part of
the city, and all-men, women and chill
dren-rushed to the place. The fight in
side the house was taken up outside, and
the greatest excitement ensued. Fists, clubs
and knives were used, and blood flowed
freely. The three police officers stationed
in that part of the city were powerless to
stop the fight, and assistance was asked
from the Central station.
Two patrol wagon loads of policemen
went to the scene of the fight. The officers
were driven on gallop into the crowd.
The priest was rescued unharmed and taken
to neighboring house, where he has since
been protected by guard of police. Six of
the ringleaders of the riot were arrested
and will be examined in court. Nobody
was killed, but a large number were
wounded.

Tobacco for PIGS.

Last spring there appeared in i
Washington periodical a letter from
Gen. Clingman, of North Carolina,
ON the curative powers of tobacco,
which attracted considerable atten-
ton and has since brought out nu-
merous corroborative statements
and Incidents. Among these is a
statement from Dr. w. 5. D. John
son, of Lewis county, MISSOURI,
described by Congressman Hatch
as ian experienced and eminent
physician AMI as a large and sue
cessful stock raiserzand farmer, J
who says: 'In 1871 l came to this
place, bringing with me lis head of
hogs. Hog cholera made its APP
pearance among them, and they
commenced dying, and in the
course Of six or seven weeks l lost
90 head. at this time l killed four
on one day, and made post norton
examinations very carefully, and l
found that these animals were,dying

An Annie Orchard,

Some farmers tell me, 81 buy trees,
but the rabbits eat them up" There
is very simple and cheap plan to pre-
vent this. Wrap an OLD newspaper
around the stem OF the young tree, Sc
curing it with a bit Of Irvine, and the
rabbits will not hurt the trees. a man
who is too shiftless to do this, does not
deserve to have apples to eat. 1t is an
easy matter, requiring some care and q
few years time, to have one apple tree
that yields So worth OF fruit; and it is
not much harder, only costing a little
more cash, to have 1000 trees, produc-
ing $1,000 worth of apples. We have
all .wheated our land until we have
about ruined it; so, let US raise fruit.
Some Of you have old yellow hills that
you have plowed off until they will
not sprout peas, and still they would
produce good apples, sufficient to make
you rich in few years. Do not say
my land slopes to the north, and will
not do. That is just right. If 1 had
the clipping" of it, would "tip" it to
the north, and plant my wind break on
the south.

once heard q wealthy farmer
telling of his experience in hiring a
boy. He said while working in his
barn one morning q boy of about
fifteen years came to him enquiring
for work. He was much in need of
a boy, and he liked this ones ap-
pearance, but being an entire
stranger he was much in doubt
about hiring him. He said what
he wanted to know most was, if the
boy would be faithful in the little
duties. The farmer showed the
boy through his large, commodious
barn, leaving him to pass last
through the doors. He stopped and
carefully closed every door after
him. Two or three tools that some
one had carelessly left on the barn
floor, the boy picked up and laid to
one side. The farmer said that as
unconscious as the boy was that he
was doing anything in his favor,
these little acts decided the qucs-
ton of doubt in his mind. The boy
was hired. He proved to be care
full, faithful workman, which fact
was so appreciated by his employer
that he assisted the boy in obtain
ing an education, and remembered
him substantially when he started
in life.

will tell how to mix whitewash
that will not rub off. Take lime
stone, Stake. with boiling water
(hard water is best) dissolve white
glue in it in a pan on the stove.
and pour the liquid in the lime
while hot. Use of salt one quart
and box blue, dissolving the blue
in cup of hot water. Mix well
together and use hot water for mix
ing. Keep the wash hot while us
ing, and thin it until it is as thin as
sweet cream. Then take a wooden
bucket, fasten a stick across the
center on top, to wipe or stroke the
brush before using, and you can if
careful wash over the carpet.

day or two, then take it down, sew
around each piece tight,
then slake lime and whitewash each
piece and nothing will bother 1t.
