Congressman and Gentlemen.

A good and perhaps true story is
told of Bob Ingcrsoll aud Secretary
Lamar. Bob called ut tho Interior
and asked to see the Sec
rotary.
"De Sec 'tary is occupied, sab, with
members and Senatahs only. Won't
see nobody else now, sab" said tho
colored messenger at the door
Bob waited q moment, with his hands
in his pockets. Then he pulled out
half a dollar and dropped it into the
ianitor's hand, after giving a few whis-
pered instructions. A moment later
the messenger walked into tho Secre-
tary's room, whore n largo number of
Senators were assembled, and address
cd tho Secretary:
"Mr. Sec'tary, Mr.. Bob Ingersoll am
at do doah. He says he understands
that dis am do timo when you won't

Penftent.

Twenty-six years ago a young clerk
in the city of New York stole pocket
dictionary from tho law office in which
he was employed, and, soon after,
thirty-fivo dollars in money from other
employers in the same city. He re.
moved to China, where as 1t appears,
he lived virtuously, and became q pros.
porous man. Ho is still resident OF
Shanghai.
A few months ago he lost prayer.
book, which was returned to him by O
Catholic priest, to whom tho theft had
been confessed. At first, indignant al
the injury done him, he demanded the
exposure and punishment of the thief.
But tho recollection of his own similar
transgressions long ago came to him
with such forco that his anger was
swallowed up in contrtion, and he de-
termincd to make q similar restitution.
P He wrote letter in tho New York
Herdtd, confessing his thefts, enclosing
tho stolen dictionary and money, and
requested the editor to forward the
same to their owners, or in case they
could not be found, to give the money
to charitable institution.
Tho proprietor of the book had been
dead for many years, but the rightful
owner OF the money, once q prosperous
New York merchant is now tobacco
planter in North Carolina, and so poor
that tho stolen money is roally an i'm
Portant addition to his years revenue.
1t has been sent to him.
a remarkable circumstance is, that
the contrite man gave to the Herald his
full name and address, and in mention
ing his crime, he did not call it by any
flne name, or attempt any excuse. He
says in plain English that he "stolo"
the book and ''pilfered" the money.
He is 4 wise man. He has won back a
portion of g lost treasure, most pre-
cious, his self-respect! Moro than this,

should have given his namo to tho pub

How to Make Incandosccnt Lamps.

are made is very simple" an olectri-
clan said yesterday. "There are differ
cnt ways of preparing tho filaments,
which arc shaped. carbonizod, and
treated at a white heat. They arc then
placed in platinum holders, which are
imbedded in glass, and next 60 into
the hand-of tho glass-blower. The
glass bulbs have round openings at tho
bottoms and little tubes at the tops.
The glass-blower places tilamcnts in
each bulb OF the bottom, and Yields the
glass about tho platinum holders to
edges of the opening. Then tho air is
drawn from tho bulbs.
1.-The open end of the big tube is at
tached to an air-pump, which has forty
pounds OF mercury at its top AS tho
mercury drops it carries all the air
with it, and vacuums arc created in the
bulbs. The operator then takes u
Bunsen burner and directs its flame
against the little tubes close to tho
bulbs. This closes the bulbs. which
are thon removed from tho big tube
The glass-blower finishes them off Tho

A Dootor's Hint to working-MeD.

When you have heavy work to do,
do not take other beer cider, or
spirits. BY far the best drink is thin
oat meal and water, with little sugar.
The proportionA are quarter of q
pound of oat meal to two or three
quarts of water, according to the heat
of the day and your work and thirst; it
should bo well boiled, and then an
ounce or an ounce and a half of brown
sugar added. IL you find it thicker
than you like, add three quarts of wa
ter. Before you drink it, shake up the
oatmeal we'll through the liquid. In
summer drink this cold; in winter hot.
You will find it not only quenches
thirst, but will give you more strength
and endurance than any other drink.
If you cannot boil it, you can take q
little oatmeal mixed with cold water
and sugar, but this is not so good al
ways boil it II you can. II at any time
you have to make a very long day, as
in harvest. and cannot stop for meals,
increase tho oatmeal to half pound.
or even threo-quarters, and tho water
to threo quarts If you are likely to b8
very thirsty. For quonching thirst, few
| things are better than weak coffee and
| q little sugar. Ono ounce of coffee and
half an ounce OF sugar boiled in two
quarts of wator and cooled is a very
! thirst-quenching drink. Cold tea has
tho same effect, but neither Is so sup
! porting as oat meal

by tho city's march of progress, far
back In tho early days OF the settle

FEEDING MOVING LAND.

Better to Suffer from Short Pasturage-
why the Practice Is InJudicious.
There is no general practice among
farmers that is so injurious in IFS effects
as that of the close feeding of moving
lands.
After the crop of hay is removed and
the aftermath has made good start,
when the feed in pastures becomes
short, and with cows the flow of milk
begins to diminish, the temptation to
get benefit from the moving lands over
comes any thought of what the final
consequences may be.
After the removal of crop of hay.
especially if the field is not unusually
growth by close feeding will very soon
tell in the continual diminishing of sue
ceeding crops. II is not to be under
stood that all aftermath is to remain
upon the soil. because it might be so
heavy as to injure the grass by lying too
closely upon the ground, especially
upon rich soil. 1t is upon fields of
average fertility. such as many farms
possess. where a second growth suitable
for cutting would hardly be expected.
that there should be an avoidance Of
feeding. Such a growth of aftermath,
if left from year to year, will have a
tendency to enrich the soil, and increase
the crops that follow from year to year.
This conclusion has been reached
from practice and careful observation.
When, in one case, moving fields are
fed but very little, if fed at all, and
there is very gradual increase of the
annual crop from year to year; while in
the other case, where fields are fed
close, down to the very roots of the
plants. and the annual crop diminishes
very rapidly and requires reploughing
every four years in order to get fair
crop. with a natural character of soil
about the same in both cases, it is very
reasonable to attribute results to the
mode of procedure, and it becomes an
exceedingly difficult matter to prevent
the conclusion that feeding moving
lands may be carried to decidedly in
furious extent. 1t would be better even
to suffer from short pasturage than to
inflict an irreparabIe injury upon now
ing lands. Rather let supplemental
feed be provided to meet emergencies in
the shape of fodder corn, sorghum OF
something similar. Yeonaans, in
Boston Globe.
