Theft in High Society Circles.

From a Washington Letter.
A few weeks ago g. reception was
given at the house of a distin-
guisned Southern representative,
for which 5000 invitations were
issued. Many OF the best-known
people in official and social circles
were present, and, as it afterwards
proved, quite number were also IN
attendance who had neither been III
vited nor enjoyed the acquaintance OF
the host. In a city like Washington,
filled with strangers, who come for a
season and whose places the next sea-
son are taken by persons equally unta-
miliar with their surroundings, 1t is I'M
possible for everyone to know every,
one else, and for this reason at social
gatherings, where large number are
present, it is always possible for any
well dressed person to walk boldly IN
and help himself literally to
the champaign and terrapln and
have a good time generally. At
the particular reception to which
refer quite a number OF ar
ticles were stolen from the rooms.
The character of the thefts showed
that it was not the work OF PROBES
SIGNALS, but rather of the class OF am
ateur thieves who, seeing handsome
w bound book that pleased their IAN
CIV or some dainty ornament that
they thought would add to the at
tractiveness of their own homes, qui-
city pocketed it and satisfied their
consciences with the reflection that
the host was wealthy and could
we'll afford to lose it. OF course,
this kind of petty stealing is
confined exclusively to the large
social gatherings, inasmuch as at the
more select affairs of this kind the
person OF a stranger would be IN
stantly detected.

Butter from Ripened Cream.

All the fine, high-priced butter in this
market is made from ripened cream.
The highest flavor and aroma can be
brought out in no other way. Butter

tlons being favorable, may be palata-
BILE for day or two, but it soon com

shows signs of rancidity. Butter made
from sweet cream, just SKINNED, lacks
character and is almost neutral in
taste. Too much washing in fresh
water also taxes away the fine flavor

GET oats IN early.
ALL fences should be thoroughly in

THE olive is becoming the leading
fruit of Northern California.

THE demand in Central Illinois for
draft-horses for breeding uses is in

THE creameries of Eastern Pennysl-

As the management of silos is be-
coming better understood, there are
fewer reports OF poor ensilage.
ELEVEN new experiment stations

spring to test new varieties of fruit.
PROF. BEAL, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, thinks Johnson grass
OF little use in the Northern States.
A MINNESOTA dairyman claims to
have wintered his COWS on six tons OF
ensilage each, and that it cost him but
40 cents per ton.
If seed corn is soaked in strong cop
peras water for two or three days be-
fore planting, it is said there will be
no trouble with wire worms.
PEACH trees, says a successful horti-
culturist, should be set eighteen feet
apart each way, pears sixteen feet,
plums twelve feet and apples thirty
feet. Small yields result from putting
trees too near together.

A WRITER to the Cincinnati CONNER

tons of the nineteenth century.
THE Rural World reminds farmers
that by using two-foot square space

Good Old Scotch Law.

from Une LOLuOu NOFiu-J
The law as to card-sharping in Edin-
burgh seems to be of a very stringent
nature indeed. Last week q man
named Brown, who had previously
been convicted of card sharping, was
charged at the Edinburgh police court
with being in possession of a pack OF
cards, and was sentenced by the lord
provost to three days Imprisonment.
it was not proved that the prisoner
carried the cards for the purpose OF
swindling, but this, said his lordship,
was unnecessary. According to this
decision, it appears to me that a man
who had once been convicted of drunk
enness might, with equal justice, be
fined for carrying in his pocket a flask
of whisky, or one who had been found
guilty OF stabbing be imprisoned for
having a penknife in his possession.

AT THE KEY.
By NORA F. HIGGINsOS


She sat at the key, while the tick, tick, TICK,
Came flashing along the wire,
And little the outside world then kneW
OF the Joy and pain and disaster dire
That thronged the whole day through.
One was a message OF "babe just born,
And the mother was "doing fine;''
And one from a bride that from home had gont
With the words, 'IH send you a line"
There was mothers search for a truant boy
Who had strayed away from home;
A lover who waited in anxious Joy
word from his love to come.
An officer sent with warrant of law,
To check in his fight a thief;
The terrible crash OF train, and more,
The people awaiting relief.
The horse that won in the latest race
Came IN for full report
And the tick, tick, tick, with rapid pace,
Told another prize-fght fought.
They asked if the market report had come
And what was the price OF grain;
And the weather bureau told to some
The chances were good for rain.
The last return from election, too,
An az yious crowd await
And the tick tick, tick, still ever true,
Told politician fate.
So, all day long with its tick, tick, tick,
The news came flying through
And the message boy with footsteps quick
Away to carry it few.
And hearts made happy, and hearts made sad
Were many, but few who knew
That the girl who sat at the key there,
Had her share OF burden, too.
For who all the ills of life could know.
Its sorrow, its troubles, its sin,
Without some feeling of pity to show
That "al the worlds akin"

Improperly Constructed Drain bitches

Everywhere wesee drain bitches cav
ing in. The work to repair such
bitches the first time they require it is
just about as much as the original
cost, and if we consider that they need
repeated repairing, it is evident that
expense foots up much greater than
the original cost. The trouble with
most such bitches is that to save ex-
pense in the beginning, the sides are
made too steep. As soon as the water
begins to soften the soil, the sides begin
falling down, making the ditch worth
less. We have seen q drain con-
structed three years ago, which has
been regularly patched up every year,
and with all the money spent is now
about as bad as ever. The sides, in
addition to being too steep, are
crooked from the constant mending
and changing. In making an open
drain ditch the proportion OF depth to
width should not be less than one to
two. That is, ditch one foot deep
should be two feet wide at the top,
the depth always being counted from
the surface of the ground to the point
where the sides would meet if extended
downwards. If any greater pitch is
given, the sides are sure to cave sooner
orlater. Another mistake often made
is to place the soil excavated too neal
the sides of the ditch. The ditch will
occasionally have to be enlarged and
this excavated soil will be in the way,
and thus have to be moved twice. 1t
is simple thing to make a drain
ditch, but still we hardly ever see one
that will stand the test.-Alta Cali
fOrnia.

In less than an hour word was
brought by the steward that all the
rescued men were conscious, and the
ladies might talk with them, if they
chose; SO accompanied by Mr.. Went

fellows!" explained the steward, as he
guided them into hitherto unknown
depths-"out four days in that leaky
little boat. Their vessel foundered dur
ing the gale Monday night, and they
took to the boats with what little pro-
visions and water they could snatch;
but the wind and sea drove them

side the bunk where lay a CHASTITY
young fellow, with great blue eyes, so
like Jimmy's that Milly could no long
er doubt the relationship, had she not
been already convinced.
"He's the one papa-he's Tom !"
she whispered excitedly. "Speak to
him."
He answered their questions in
weak, languid tones; but when 1t be,
came clear that Milly was the young
girl who had given his little brother
the scarf, he rose eagerly upon his ell
bow, while big tear rolled down his
face.

So the comforter had not belied its
name, but, started on its journey of
love, and brought only warmth and
life in its train. And now, faded,
worn and sea-stained, it bears an hon
