AilOat in a Mother Hubbard.

Mother Hub9 ard bathing robes are no
longer fashionable. Miss Templeton of
Altoona is authority for the statement.
She prepared gorgeous Mother of scar
let flannel with white trimmings, and
then started for Atlantic City on the
scashore express. She arrived Mt the
beach on Tuesday, and yesterday Was
chosen for its display. The mountain
maid and the Mother Hubbard appeared
simultaneously on the beach. The regu-
lar crowd of mashers were on hand, and
they voted that they liked the short
skirt style of dress better, but rs this
was Miss Templeton's first appearance
Of course she should have her own way.
A Young railroad manager escorted the
lady to the water.
There was female shrek, Just little
shrek, because the water was too cool.
The maid of the mountain waded ont till
the water reached her waist. The water
got under the big dress, and soon the
belle of Altoona looked like n moderate
sized balloon. She began to float and
the air getting under the dress lifted
her off her feet Three or four brave
Young men went to the bellies rescue
and escorted her ashore. She says
Mother Hubbard's were not made for

Strange Crime in Spain.

Some time ago described n mysterious
crime which had been creating an extra
ordinary sensation in Malrid, and all
the efforts Of the police to trace the au-
thcrs we're futile. But full revelations
have unexpectedly just been made by
subordinate officials Of the Madrid Prison
ard by several persoIs arrested on sus-
picion Of being accomplices in the crime.
These prove beyond doubt that ''prissn
ers suffering from imprisonmentfo for theft
We're frequently allowed out during the
day and nights, with the perfect cogni-
zance of the Governor Of the prison and
the officials under him." and thus it
came to rass that a prisoner named
Varcla, who left the prison in July,
joined his accomplices outside took part
in the murder of his own mother. divid-
ei her money with her servant and the
other accused persons, and then returned
quietly to his cell, where he acted the
part of an innocent man, even to tho
extent Of ordering his mothers funeral.
The Judge now believes that he has all
the elements for bringing on the trial OF
Varela, the servant girl, and the other
accomplices, while the Governor and IA
officials Of the Madrid Prison, who have
been lodgel in Jail, will lie tried for
violating the regulations. - London Stda-

A SEED WHEAT SHARPER.
How Farmer Narrowly Escaped
Being SwindIcd.

A Grain and Seed Company of Gin
cinnati has an agent operating what IS
believed t. he swindling game in the
southern tier counties of y. \. State.
\ Delaware County farmer, who came
near being caught i'll the net, gives
the following account of his experience:
y man Of business like appearance and
address called upon him. representing
himself as an agent for the Grain and
Seed Company, and Offering for sale an
alleged new variety of wheat for seeding
purposes. styled gold medal wheat"
The agent represented that the variety
was something new, and of which his
company controlled the whole supply in
the country, and he exhibited to the
farmer Il lot of certificates alleged to be
signed hv prominent Western wheat
growers, stating that they had tried the
new kind and hal found it extraor-
dinarily prolific and valuable for flour
ing uses. The agent offered to sell the
farmer 10 bushels of seed wheat, to be
sowed this fill, at Slj bushcl. and to
take II Lote for the mount (SlJ0l, pay
able on the lst of next July, and, to
secure the farmer against any possible
loss i'll the transaction, the seed Com
rnuy would give him bond agreeing to
pay him Sl5 bushel for 10 bushels of
his crop, and s. bushel for all he rails
ell i'll excess IF that quantity. The
agent figured that eight acres If land,
seeded with 10 bushels of this wonder
fully valuable variety of wheat, would
return crop of 500 bushels of the value
of not less than $500.
The farmer was captiyated with the
prospect of big profits i'll wheat grow
ing, and gave the agent an order OF 10
bushels of seed and his note for $50,
taking II receipt and bond as specified.
But the agent had hardly got out of
sight and given the farmer little chance
for reflection when gleam of suspicion
entered the erangcrs mind that he had
been made the victim of Il swindle simi
lar to the "Bohemian oats" fraud that
was quite extensively practiced few
years ago. He consulted neighbor
about the matter, and his suspicious
were confirmed by finding out that the
seed agent had offered his note for sale
to this ncigllbor ut a liberal discount
from its face value. On learning this
the farmer hitchel up his horse and
started in pursuit Of the seel man, whom
he overlook nj Hancock Just as he was
about boarding al Erie Railroad train.
At first the fellow put on bold face,
claiming that the transaction was legiti-
mate aud that he had forwarded tho
note to his company at Cincinnati, but
when threatened with summary arrest
h. gave up the note To- the maker. The
seed wheat sharper will undoubtedly 10

THE CROP BULLETIN.

The weather crop bulletin, issued by
the signal Office, says that reports from
the corn belt, including Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska, indicate
that the weather during the past week
has been especially favorable, and that
the corn crop, which is very large, is
generally secure and past injury from
frost. The frosts which occurred during
the week along the northern border OF
Iowa and in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan did some damage to the grow
ing crops. Over the west portion OF the
cotton region, including Alabama and
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louis
lana and Texas, favorable weather dur
ing the week greatly improved all grow
ing crops, and cotton picking IS In
progress in all these States. In North
and South Carolina all growing crops
are seriously injured by heavy rains and
dangerous floods. The weather during
the week was especially favorable for
tobacco in Kentucky and Tennessee. The
weather in New England ami the middle
Atlantic States was generally unfavor-
able for ripening crops. Farm work Is
retarded.

Cooking EyuS.

WHAT A PROFESSOR OF THE CULINARY ART SAYS ON
THE SUBJ ECT.
Mrs Ewing gave a practical kitchen lecture in
Boston the other day, in which special attention
was given-to the proper cooking OF eggs There
are but four methods Of cooking eggs she said,
namely, baking, boiling, frying and broiing. Some
OF the best chemists say the only proper way to
cook an egg Is to boil 1t, and then the egg Is
gradually Solidif1ed. TO cook eggs properly one
should have the vessel they are to be cooked in
hot, and the eggs must be covered with boiling
water. II takes longer to cook fresh egg than a
stale one, as the fresh egg contains much more al
Ewing used one egg, one teaspoon OF cornstarch
and five tablespoons OF milk. The yelk OF one egg
was beaten lightly, then the cornstarch, which
mad been previously thoroughly mixed with the
milk, was added, and then the whites 1t Is neces-
