warming Young Rattlesnakes.

They showed me two things among many
down at the Joliet prison the other day that
linger with me like q dash of bitter In the
old lady's cup of sweetened tea. One was a
baby with face like young tough and an
inherited disposition like that the wolf cub
draws from its dam, which they were caring
for and rocking In clean and pretty cradle,
while It's depraved convict mother served
out her term for a revolving crime. / ques-
ton the policy of warming and succoring
young rattlesnalxes, but / go further back
and question the law that allows criminals to
propagate their species. II 1t Is against
humanitarian usage to give such babes to the
heathen huntsnen for crocodile bait, then,
for mercy's sake, get back of the humanita-
rian view of the matter, and make it against
the law for criminals to raise children.
1t seems an impractical thing TO do, but is
1t any more so than half the things accom-
plished in the march and progress of reforml
don't pretend to say how 1t can be done,
but know that if a lot of flesh devouring
wolves were loose on your prairies there
would be a a way found soon enough TO cut
Off the increase. A colony where the Off
spring of bad men men and evil women could
be taken at birth and reared In habits Of vir-
tue and industry at public expense, would
strike more telling blow for the abatement
Of evil in the world than any mission work
or prison reform. A glance about us at the
houses and the neighborhoods where the
worst children swarm Is enough to make a
pessimist out of anybody who looks into the
future. a." Amber" in Chicago Journal.

onr fine brigade of guards was severely
cut up when the Highlanders drew near, and
then, as Kinglal1e tells us, man in one of
the regiments reforming on the slope, cried,
in Che deep and honest bitterness Of his heart:
ssLet the Scotsmen go onl they'll do the
workln and with his three killed battalions,
Sir Colin, whose horse was shot under him,
advanced to meet twelve of the enemy.
"Now, men," said he, 'syou are going into
action, and remember this that whoever is
wounded, 1 don't care what his rank is, must
lie where he falls No soldier must carry off
wounded men. If any man does such
thing his name shall be stuck up in his parish

had to ascend was good deal more steep and
broken than the slope close beneath the re-

bred there are shadows of sailing clouds
Swimming up the mountain side, and their
paths are rugged and steep; yet their course
is smooth, easy and swift. Smoothly, easily
and swiftly the Black Watch seemed to glide
up the hill A few instants before and their
tartans ranged dark In the valley; now their
plumes were on the crest Another line
came on in echelon, and another still-the
Cameron and the Sutherland Highlanders.
And now, to the eyes of the superstitious
Russians, the strange uniforms of those bare
kneed troops seemed novel and even terrible;
their white, waving sporrans were taken for
the heads of low horses, and they cried to
each other that the angel of light had de-
parted and that the demon of death had
come.
A close and deadly fire was now poured in
to these 'sgray blocks as Russell calls the
Russian squares. No particular sound fol-
lowed, save the yells of the wounded, while
the Highladders ''cast about to reload; but
after their next volley 6 strange, rafting
noise was heard, rs the bullets fell like rain
among their tin canteens and kettles which
the enemy carried outside their knapsacks,

masses of Muscovite infantry as they broke
and fed, throwing away muskets, knapsacks

HOW, an ARMY was Routsd.

1t was way back in the fifties when "Alad
din" was having run at the old Bowery
theatre that John Williams, now the property
man at the Academy of Music, then boy,
conceived the idea of having some sport with
the supers who composed the army of the
Chinese emperor Suspended over the center
Of the stage in those days was property
elephant stuffed with straw and sawdust,
and which, from long disuse, had become
almost pulp from dry rot When the army
Of supers were being unanswered on the stage
Williams slipped aloft and cut the ropes.
Down came the elephant and, bursting into
thousand fragments, completely enveloped
the army in cloud of dust and straw. The
supers were put to flight and the action OF
the play suspended for the moment Search
was made for the culprit but when found he
pretended sleep and SO stoutly denied his
guilt as to carry conviction of his innocence.
1t was not until some months later the truth
was known.-New York World.

The Farmers Home Market.

to sell his surplus products lie agli-
cultural products OF our country, outside
OF tobacco and cotton, amount 10 about

about - per cent is consumed at home
and only about per cent Is exported.
That j. 70 say, the home market takes -
per cent and the 70 eign market take~
only per cent You can thus see the
importance Of the home market aud the
comparative iusignificance Of the for.
eign market to our farmers in the con
sumption Of their surplus products, II
NAV also be mentioned that the foreign
market is distant, uncertain and CAPRI
ciuu~: dependent upon the harvest abroad
whether good or bad, and /, always open
- the competition of other nations.
Now, the power to buy depends upon the
means the purchaser can command. The
wages the laborlng man earns limits his
capacity to purchase and tais applies a
well to the purchase of agricultural prod
ucts as to other commodities. The wages
! he receives always depend upon his EN-
plovment. If he is employed he earns
wages; if he has no employment he earns
no wages The question Of the homt
market, whether good or bad, then turn
upon our people being employed and thu
/ amount of wages they receive. In ordel
to give all employment there must be
diversity of industrial pursuits. and TIN
more numerous these industrial pursuit.

Best Quality.

Whatever farmer raises on his farm
it should be the best. Many who reat
this are small farmers and will answer
that they have not the money necessary
to do this. They cannot afford to do any
thing else 1t j. not necessary for the or
binary farmer to pay fancy prices for fan
cy articles. The statement means some
thing quite different; it means that the
ordinary corn, potatoes etc, should bt
first quality, that all scions and new trees
should be of the best, and that from the
dog that guards his masters property to
the farmer himself, the best should be
the only standard. 1t gives honest salts
faction and it pays in a money sense,
Whatever a farmer, who has established
this reputation has to sell there is Il
quick demand for it. The public soon
calls for his produce as the best and rs a
natural consequence he gets the best
prices.-HdSs. HOughmda.

While wool is selling more freely than
it was some weeks ago. and the prices
are upon steady basis, yet there has not
been the expected advance, and holders
seem willing to part with their stock at
current rates. Mr.. Lynch's annual esti-
mate of the domestic clip is 333, 800, 900
pounds, very largely in excess of pre>i-
Gus estimates and statements. Perhaps
this heavy crop may explain the depress-
ion in wool prices, though there is no
doubt the present tariff agitation and the
uncertainty of legislation have much to
do with the dizziness in wool.

soaked one half cupful of bread-crumbs :;
salt to season. Mix all, and pour in a
hot frying-pan, in which is generous
piece of butter. Cook slowly for ten

and, if it is done just right, it will come

be turned or rolled as 1t is put on to the
hot platter, This is very light, and more
