DRUNkARDS' WIVES.

How the Suffering Victims Nearly Always
Take the Part of Their Brutal OPP
pressors.
There never was time when SYM
pathy, benevolence and philanthropy
We're so active as now, but life is still
full of situations which seem incapable
of alienation. Take the case of drunk
ards wives, and especially the wives OF
those drunkards who develop rutlian-
ly brutality under the influence OF
liquor. 1t would seem surprising, when
one considers the suffering of these poor
women, that there are not more eases
of husband-murder. But in fact the
victims Of wife beaters rarely seek re
venge, and as a rule they encourage
their tyrants by submissiyeneSs which
is the despair Of magistrates and philaq.
thropists Not day passes but q score
of tramplcd wives refuse 10 testify
against their brutal husbands and some
of them Will even perjure themselves
rather than assist the law in Furnishing
the crimes commit d against them. A
very startling instance of this tendency
IS the case Of the poor woman whose
eyes were deliberately put out by her
tiendish husband, yet who evidently
would not have informed against him
but for the action Of neighbors. And
what = flood Of light is thrown on the
lives of q whole class OF women by the
remark of one of these neiohborS that

STRAWBERRIES.
How Every One Who Has a Garden May
BE Supplied with the Delicious Fruit.

HOW Every One Who Has a Garden May
BE Supplied With the Delicious Fruit.
Every one having a garden may
secure delicious fresh strawberries with
very little trouble, if he so wills One
of the most successful growers for the
market in this country is Mr.. Parker
Earle. who writes as follows: Now to
begin with the beginner at the begin
ming of strawberry plantation: First,
take good land if you can get it; if not
take poor and enrich it if you can. If
you are planting for home use, be sure
you plant on some kind of land; if YOU
can't get good. take poor, You can and
should grow Strawberries for your own
table. If for commercial purposes, it is
desirable that the conditions should be
favorable. Select then the best soil you
can command such as would grow
potatoes or corn. Plow well in fall and
spring; good common blowing will do
Don't fool away money in trenchng or
deep sub-soiling unless you like to.
Plant i'll fall; not in spring or summer.
In setting plants don't follow any
then make a mound in the hole, then
spread the roots equally all around
that mound and then sift in the earth
through sieve, as some good people
say; say don't do it that way unless
you greatly enjoy the fun of the thing.
That will do for dozen plants. but it
is too slow for large quantities, and n
fast, easy way is Just as good Your
ground being well prepared, plowed,
narrowed and rolled, mark of carefully
for rows. Your plants, being well
trimmed, should be dipped in water
and placed in a pail An active boy
should take the pail of plants and place
| them deity in openings which YOU
make with a good spade. Thrust the
spade in before you at an angle of forty
five degrees, the boy puts in the plants
while you withdraw the spade and press
the earth firmly over the roots OF the
plants with your foot. This is easy to
do, and a man and boy can set four
thousand or five thousand plants in a
day in good shape. Cultivate carefully
and thoroughly, livery shallow next to
the plants. DO this all summer, let no
weeds grow Let as many runners
grow as will make narrow matted
row, cut the balances keep the mddles
clear Mulch in the fall heavily be-
tween the rows, lightly over tho plants.
| Don disturb them in the sprrng.
II You pick for market, pick every
day; put no POOR ones in the boxes If
you cat these berries you will bye glad
YOU planted them. If you sell them
hope you will get well paid, Prairie

A FAMILY JAR.
The Jarphlys Have An Argument on the
Divorce Question.

"1 see divorces are getting cheaper"
placidly remarked Mr.. Jarphly, with sig
nifcsnt satisfaction to Mrs. Martha Jar
phly at the breakfast table yesterday
morning.
Are they?" said Mrs. Jarphly, with a
tilt of her nose. "Well, it is good thing,
and will be better yet if they can only get
cheap enough to be within the reach of
some people 1 know" and the lady absent
mindedly conferred her eyes on the milk
pitcher and smiled sweetly upon it,
That was d gage of battle, and jeremiah

smiled ON the milk pitcher at the breakfast
table that meant war. Mr.. Jarphly had
recently written to Mr.. Cleveland that he
was q civil service reformer and would &C
cept post-otiice, and Mr.. Cleveland had
not yet replied to his letter. That made

The govt which tormented the illustri-

too much to say that if Lord Chatham

Mr.. T. Fl. Gafford, of Church Hill, Md,
is so thankful for the restoration of his
wife to complete health that he is willing
to certify to the fact and manner of her
cure. To Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham: This is
to certify to the grand effects of your
Vegetable Compound My wife was suf-
fering from terrible disease which seemed
to battle the skill of the best medical men.
She was in a poor, languid, depressed, nerv-
GUS condition. We finally concluded to try
your Vegetable Compound and to our great
surprise the half of one bottle had not been
taken before there seemed to be a thorough
change in her aohole condition, and now to-
day she is in good health and entirely re-
lieved from all former depressed feelings.

Two creatures started together to
cross the Delaware River at Philadel-
phia two weeks ago. One was New
foundland dog, and he was sober and
vigilant, the other was a drunken man,
and he was as Shaky of gait ana uncer-
tain of Wis on as it is the won't of drunk
en- men to be. They came to an open
space; the dog would have kept on the
ice, like Il sensible creature; the man,
like Il senscless creature, dragged them
both into the river The senseless
creature could not save hims If; the
sensible creature helped to save them
both. In its general outline, the Incl
dent is familiar one. 1t is not the
first time the lower creature in the Gale
has proved noblcr than the higher; it
is, unfortunately, not likely to be the
last time. But how ashamed that man
nu-t be when that dog looks at him.

TEMPERANCE READING.
THE DRUNkARD-MAKER.

Your fathers drunkard,"
Said pretty May Bell;
fThe scorn of her accents
NO language can tell
She wound Il gold chain
Round her fingers Sosfair,
And shook back the long curis
ct her beautiful hair.
And Bess, the drunkard's child,
Bowed her white face,
Feeling deeply, 50 deeply,
The shame and disgrace.
As she wiped the bright tears
That were falling like rain,
The naughty girl laughed
Who had given her pain.
A boy, brave and bright
As boy could be,
Was untanglin9 his kite
In tall maple tree;
He could hear every word,
He could see every look;
Poor BeSs with her slate
And her old tattered book.
An indignant flush
Dyed his cheek like rose,
As he viewed proud May Bell
In her beautiful clothes.
Down from the wide branch
Quick as thought something fell:
" w no made MIN drunkardt
Wtll you answer, May Bell2
"Or shall tell the story?
| know it all through;
John Bell made drunkard
OF poor William Drew!
He sells him the rum
That's destroying his life
And fast making beggars
OF children and wife,"
AS he led Bessie on,
Having thus fixed the blame,
May looked after the two
Through her tears of shame.
EOh! can it be true, then,
The story he told?
Does my father make drunkards
OF men for their gold?"

Tho Train Boy on a Long Fun.

Several years ago it was discovered that
slight error had been made in the calcu-
lation of the suns distance from the earth,
and owing to misplaced logarithm, or
something of that kind, a mistake of $780,
900 miles was made in the result. People
can not be too careful in such matters.
Surprising that on the strength of the in
formation contained in the old-time table
a man should start out with only provis-
ions sufficient to take him 100000 miles,
and should then find that 100000 miles
still stretched out ahead of him. He would
then have to buy fresh figs of the train boy
in order to sustain life. Think of buying
nice fresh figs on train that had been en-
route $50 years Imagine train boy
starting out at ten years of age, and perish
ing at the age of sixty years with only
one-ffth of his journey accomplished
Think Of five train boys, one after the
other, dying of old age on the way, and

depot with not living thing on board ex-
