MISS HATHAWAY's COOLNESs.-
"Help! Help! Helpw were cries
which aroused and startled the in
mates of Mrs. Hathaway's residence
on East Martin street at half past two
O'Clock on Sunday morning. The
cries were made by Miss Cora Hatha-
way as she courageously held the hand
of some miscreant who had entered
her room, where she and her younger
sister slept. 1t seems that the man
had effected an entrance into the
dwelling from the first floor and in
dications show that he had first rum
mayed through the lower rooms be-
fore going upstairs. In the darkness
he made his way to the apartment
occupied by the young ladies, and
startled Miss Cora by placing his
hand upon the bed. With great
presence of mind and unusual courage
the young lady seized him by the
hand and screamed for help. In the
struggle she was pulled from the bed;
but did not relinquish her hold upon
the man until the stairway was reach
ed. Here he managed to break loose,
and before Mr.. and Mrs. Hathaway
appeared, made his escape down stairs
and through the side yard. Owing to
the darkness the young lady was I'M
able to catch a good look at the mans
face, and she has no idea or suspicion
as to his identity. It's a great pity
he was not captured .-Statesmdn

poultry wisdom, and write for the agri-
cultural papers. Where one hen suf-
fers from excess of corn, we venture to
say, ten suffer from too little. Too
little feed is the besetting sin of the
rural districts. We live there and hap
pen to know; people grumble because
they get only six or seven dozen eggs a
year, change breeds often, make
crosses, and thus their yards swarm
with all sorts of barnyard mongre1s, as
poor substitute for full rations.
Nothing but feed in the hopper will
make hens grind out the eggs. If corn
was dangerous, or narrow quarters, for
thirty light Bramah hens, we should
have found it out this summer. Early
in May, after the garden stuff began to
come up, we shut up the hens in an old
building about fifteen feet square, with
ont floor, and with sides and roof of
INSCRIPTIONS ventilation, 1t is legacy
of past generations, and had worn it
ago. 1t is a standing witness that
ventilation is good for fowls. The
rations have been corn, given three
times day, kept in box, generally
about six quarts day, a little more
added when the box was found empty,
broken clam shells kept in another box
constantly on hand-a part of the skim
milk and buttermilk from one COW, a
pail of water from the pump every
morning, and run of an hour before
sunset upon the lawn, where there was
an abundant supply of grass. Two APP
plications of kerosene, from the lamp
fller, to the perches, have kept the
fowls from free flee, and the health of the
flock has been remarkably good. The
egg production has been abundant, and
liz there has been any danger in a con-
slant supply of corn, the hens have not
found it out. The eggs have been well
fcrtilized, and the chickens strong and
healthy. The theory of feeding has
been that we get the most profit from
fowls when we give them all they can
eat, and sufficient variety OF animal
and vegetable food. Milk has been the
supply of the former, and corn of the
latter. We have come to the conclu-
sion that there is a call for reform in
poultry keeping. Too much liberty
and low feed is bad for hens.-AmerS-

"Scrod."


"Scrod' is small, fresh Goldfish, as
served by the choice cooks of Boston.
The fish is thoroughly cleaned, trimmed
close, split through the back, and salt
cd sufficient to season. II for break
fast, it lies over night, when it is ready
for broiling. The outside of the fish,
the skin, that is-can be Drowned and
even burned, quickly, but the flesh side,
so to speak, unless rolled in meal or
flour, can not be Drowned without over
cooking and spelling the fish. Brown
ing.the ''scrod'' should never be at
tempted. Mackerel, blue fish, shad,
salmon and other fish-of a different
makeup as regards nitrogen, probably,
viii brown reasonably quick over the
Goals, but the meat of young cod is
very susceptible to heat and changes
from rawn IS nearly or quite as quick
as the white of anegg. 1t tastes like
that, also. when nicely and not too
much done. Defcacy in flavor and
color are the Boston ideas in serving
"scrod." No matter how soon from
the hook the codis dressed, sailed and
eaten, but people who have once tasted
s'scrod'' at the bsst places in Boston
are clad To have the clean and seasoned
fish packed in ice in cool weather and
forwarded long distances into the coun-
try to them-ratter than go without it.

death of Andrew Jackson. | met him at his
home in Mansfield, O.. and we had long

1t was a magnificent estate, comprising 1000
acres of rich land, the most of which was
