Courted the Grandmother.

Lowell Mass Times.
A good deal of fun is being made
in the newspapers of rich cid farm
er up in the Connecticut valley who
in his S5th year has espoused a 10
year-old bride, and who gives the fol-
lowing account of the hereditary
courtship which has at length result
ed in this ill-assorted match:
81 knowed her grandma, and
wanted her, but she wouldn't see to
it. She married my bitterest enemy
and had a daughter. l courted that
daughter when her folks wasn't
around, but somehow they got wind
of it and l was dished again. She
went and got married and had a
daughter. Says 1, Jonathan, you'll
marry this'n, and settled down
glum-like, to wait for the youngster
to grow up. Martha's folks watched
me close, and l began to suspect I'd
have to wait for the next family,
when they died-all of them died
and Martha was left without no rela.
tives; so popped the question, and
we were married"

HOW TO OVERCOME THE DAN
GERS OF EXPOSURE.

Francis O'Reilly, the well-known
livery man OF No. IS Prince street,
New York, says of ALLcocK's
Porous PLAsTERs:
"For thelast forty-two years have
been engaged in the livery and hack
ing business. lam greatly aided by
my four boys. We are much exposed
to the weather, and we have found
ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs of very great
service. We use them as chest pro-
tectors, placing one on the chest and
one on the pit of the stomach. They
not only ward off the cold, but act as
a tonic.
We are frequently affected with
rheumatism, kinks in the back, and
pains in the side; but one or two of
ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs quickly cure
us. My wife and daughter have
been using ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs for
weak back and think the world of
them. 1 have now been using them
for twenty years, and always have a
box in the house."

One Way of Making Cucumber Pickles,

Make a brine strong enough to
float an egg, using common barrel
salt. A pair Of scissors is the best
thing to cut from vines with. AL
ways leave a portion Of stem on Gu
cumbers, as they keep better. Wash
Slightly, taking care not to rub off
the roughness. Drop them into the
brine and weight down to keep them
from swimming on top. Can mix
and add more brine as needed, al
ways testing the strength. When all
have been put in that is desired,
have the brine to come over the top
to cover the pickles nicely; then
place cloth over them, something
that is colorless or will not fade; then
place round cover, enough smaller
than the vessel containing the
pickles, so as to fit closely, and
weight them down. After they
stand for awhile you will observe a
scum arise. By some this is left to
remain, but try removing the cloth
once each week, and wash it
thoroughly, and then replace. Con
tinue as long as this scum arises, and
you will find when you go to freshen
the pickles they will be as clean and
solid as when first picked.

Biting the Finger Nails.

DIR. Jerome Tuthill, Of Chicago, ILL.,,
in, the Medical Record, says A
novel accident, resulting from habit
of very common prevalence among
nervous people, was brought to my
notice recently. A young lady pre-
scented herself at my Office complain
ing of a constant irritation in her
throat. Two weeks previously she
had been taken with severe "sore
throat" which was treated by a
neighboring physician. Under his
care, she says, the Inflammation
quickly subsidized, but there still re-
manned a sensation of irritation.
Examination revealed a small fleshy-
looking object, about the size of a
kernel of wheat, adherent to the
tissues posterior to the left tonsil, by
one end. The other parts of the
throat were normal. The little mass
could not be detached by a cotton
covered probe, but by the use of
forceps it was easily removed, and on
examination proved to be piece of
finger nail, which had become
covered by cheesy deposit. A
broken piece of the nail was also re-
moved from under the mucous
membrane at the same spot by a
sharp-pointed probe. The patient
then confessed to the habit of biting
her finger nails, and, moreover, could
remember that a day or two previous
to the onset of her throat trouble a
piece of nail which she had bitten of
had become lost in her mouth, but
after it had caused fit of coughing
she had forgotten about it until
reminded by my discovery.

How Seedless Raisins are Grown

Mail and Express.
The seedless raisin is a smallish
cream-colored fruit, about the size Of
a gooseberry, and is used with an UNI
broken skin. 1t comes from Smyrna,
and is called the Sultana. 1t is
grown seedIess simply by arresting
one of the laws of nature. When
the grape is about half ripe the end Of
the vine is bent down and buried in
the ground. This prevents the for
nation of seed and the full develop
ment Of the fruit, but it ripens all the
same, and has a delicious flavor.
Seedless raisins have entirely sup
planted other kinds in. fine buildings
and pies. They retail at fifty cents per
pound. 2

THE COMMANDER OF THE POST,

By Wallace r. Reed. in At0antG Constitution.
1t was very dull at Cottonboro during
the summer of "a. u,
The village was situated IN a small
river In Florida leading to the gulf and
it was supposed to be p place OF some
strategic Importance. ~
For four years a sma1fforce of feder-
ais had been ~endeavorihg at odd times
TO capture Cottonboro and a small force
of c~onfederates had succeeded in keep
ing them back.
A hot July sun was blazing down on
Cottonboro and the streets were de-
serted. Here and there in some shady
nook might have been seen a few
soldiers playing cards, and telling
stories, but there was no other sign of
life.
Colonel Melton was pacing the side
walk in front of his headquarters. He
was the commander of the post, but he
had very little to do. There was no
fighting in prospe ct, and it was not ne
cessary to keep the men under very
strict discipline.
The commander Of the post surveyed
the situation.
He felt the deadening influence Of the

ever came. Through on acquaintance
he was informed thatdtis wife had refu-
geed TO parts %unknow1,3 In the soldiers
camp, in the state of Kansas, the news
of Lees surrender reached him. Being
destitute Of means Oh which TO travel,
and having learned Through an effort to
establish a communication that the-one
was dead for whom it Was his pleasure
to live, he returned colorado, there
to spend the balance of his days
in the solitude of,g1he west. For
twenty-five years, said MIR. Whiten, II
wandered over the plains and prairies,
my thoughts ever carrying me back to
the place where l kissed her goodbye"
1t seems that his grieiginstead of relax
ing, grew more poignant. In the fall of
1887 he met an old friend, Joe Steel, in
Montana. Mr.. Steel told him it was
very likely that his wife was still living;
that he had n faint recollection of a
marriage in an adjoining county of a
Mr.. Southern to a Mrs. Whiten, who
had long since given up her former hus-
band for dead, and that Southern was
dead, so he was informed, and that
the widows postoffice was East Mad
ison, S. G. Elated by these glad
tidings, Mr.. Whiten directed three let
ters to Fort Madison, one to Mrs. South
ern, one to Mrs. Whiten and one to
Mr.. - Whiten, O supposed son of his.
Eagerly did he wait for a reply, but
none came. The letters remained in
the post Office until n day the post
master at that place was fixing to make
a legal disposition of them, when n
countryman, Mr.. John Latham, CHANGED
to step in. The postmaster causally
asked Latham If he knew any one by the
name of Nancy Southern or Nancy
Whiten. Latham happened to be well
acquainted with the widow, and, by the
request of the postmaster, carried the
letter to Mrs, Southern. She answered
him at once, explaining her second
marriage; that she heard he was dead,
, and expressed great anxiety TO see him.
Mr.. w. at once took the train for West
minister, S. c.. having been, by her let
ter, informed that she lived at the same
old place. Arriving at Westminster,
he proceeded to the old country home
stead, where the parting took place.
There under the willow tree in the
yard, where they parted thirty years
before, they met again. Time and
trouble had, of course, left it's impress
on both. Said Mr.. Whiten: "Though
the black curls she once wore were
streaked with gray, and the sparkling
eye wa dimmed, and the tint Of the
rose had left the cheek, yet she was as
dear to me as ever. We are n3w living
together as happily as when ve parted

Very Romantic.

San Francisco Chronicle: She was,
very romantic. Her father was a mil
~lionaire whose life had been devoted to
sausage-raising. He was very practical
naturally, but all the poetry of her fam
lily was right in her. She was beloved
by another ~millionaire's son but she had
been reading romances and stuff. and
when he proposed to her she declared
he must do something poetical for her.

"Become a poor artist"

tist.h
II mean you must pretend to be apoor

must come and make love to me and L
will fall IN love with you. Pa will OBJ
ject and make a row. We will elope
and get married, and when it is all over
we'll tell him, and it will be delight
full"
And so he became a poor artist and
took u poor studio and daubed on can
vases and pretended to paint pictures.
And there was another miilionair's
daughter got to coming to his studio and
sitting for her picture. In those de-
lightful little tete-a-tetes he forgot all
about the romantic maiden, and when
the romantic maiden came one night in
peasant costume as a sweet surprise to
run away with him she found he was
married to the other girl and had gone
off on his honeymoon. She thinks that
romances are all lies now, and nothing
happens in real life as it happens in
books. She's about right.
