without completing his course, reduced his
allowance so that it would be barely sufficient
to meet his college expenses.
Nevertheless the young count packed his
t'traps' in handkerchief and started of
one bright winter morning not long ago, and,
it is supposed, in company with rosy
checked dairymaid who lived in the univer-
sity town where he had studied. His de-
parture set his family in q f1utter, for there
is 81, ,00o 600 in the vaults, and Theodore is the
only heir. It is known that he is unused to
earning livelihood, and his mother fears
that if he suffers he will be too proud to call
on his parents for funds.
Gevers was traced to London, where the
discoveries were such that the search was
dropped as if the searchers had picked up
live coal. The naughty boy was found to
have gone to fashionable boarding house
in Regent street with young woman whom
he passed for his wife. When this news
reached his doting parents they concluded to
give up the hunt, for fear the next shock
might prove too much for them,
However, it was discovered not long after
that the count had gone to New York; at
at any rate the Dutch consul general there
received photograph of him, ana note of
instructions to notify the police, and insert
the following advertisement in tho papers:
Theodore Cornels Gevers, native Of Hol
land, aged q years, ex-student at the University
of Leyden, can receive very valuable information
in addressing or calling at the legation Of the
Netherlands at Washington, D. c., or at the con-
sulates Of the Netherlands at New York, Balti-
more, Chicago, St Paul, Grand Rapids, St. Louis,
Savannah or San Francisco
Theodore did not respond for some time,
but day or two ago word was received that
he had been found in San Francisco. There
is probably rejoicing now in Holland.

PARKER. School Of Philosophy
have been but an elaboration Of his ideas
New England is saturated with his gentle
precepts, and his fame will grow for many
years. Dr. Holmes has given the central
idea of the Concord School Of Philosophy-it
was sort of yankee reproduction of the
Greek academic grove" where teacher and
pupil walked and talked, or the pupil asked
question and the teacher replied with lect-
ure. Its organization need not be detailed
indeed, it had none that business man
would consider such. Nor had it an organ
Radical thinkers gathered to exchange views,
inquirers came to listen and learn, the fame
Of it grew, and many came then from nero
curiosity. Concord has had many resident
authors; many others have sojourned there
for time; tits place of literary pilgrimage.
The nature of the Concord school may be
deduced from a list Of the subjects Tor the
session Of July-August, 1855. Lectures were
delivered on "Goethe and Modern Science
"Goethe's Relation to Kant and Spinoza on
Philosophy" Goethe and Modern Educ;:-
tion," Immortality and Evolution" and
kindred sabjets. After each lecture there
was full and free discussion. Of course in
such q miscellaneous assemblage the 'sgreat
army Of the queer and crazy" was repre-
eented: many odd things were said, and food
for much good laughter was furnished the
newspaper wits, but in general tie themes
were discussed with serious earnestness.
Last years season." as the Concordans
call it, consisted of sixteen lectures, with
very broad discussion after each, and there
were present scholars from every part of the
United States, with eminent visitors from
Europe. The session was also more social
and rural than usual, as there were boat
rides, picn:cs, visits to the historic places
about Concord and musical entertainments.
Mr.. Alcott was too feeble to attend, and his
gifted daughte: had never taken an active
part il, the school. The leading subject was

Alcott and His Talented Daughter, the
Author Of little Women"
The deaths of Amos Bronson Alcott and
his gifted daughter, within so short period,
awaken popular interest in that curious
movement in New England which followed
the anti Puritan reaction, of which they
were at once the products and exponents
The rigid rule Of the first settlers in Massa-
chusetts lasted, inside Of church lines, for a
full century, but the reac tion had begun be-
fore the revolution, was powerfully acceler-
ated by it and reached its maximum early in
the present century, only to be followed, in
the natural order Of such movements, bv
mild counteraction. When Massachusetts,
rebelled against King George, she also re-
belled against King Calvin; and as the po-
litical insurrection led to many cruel acts, SO
did the religions produce a set of fierce polem-
les, of whom Tom Paine stands as a popu-
lar representative. But the scofings Of the
Tom Paine school could not long satisfy

supplied with money, and is said to have
corrupted an innumerable lot Of officials
When he couldn't buy his way no contrived
methods Of escape and in this he was as sue
cessful as in bribing.
When Mccartney was finally established
at Michigan City he accidentally dropped q
hint to the secret service officers, who pro-
ceeded to his home, tore up the dirt floor of
his chicken house and found between S4OO. 600
and $500, 600 in bonds and notes. The govern
ment had permitted the publishers of Heath's
Detector to print plates therein, from the
genuine plates, bearing lnutilation marks
consisting of heavy dark lines across the face,
McCarti1e;- bought up these detectors, cut
out the plates, split tL.i.1 ,,a. ;casted them on
bank note paper, and then subjected them to
pressure. Then be appended the signatures.
These were dangerous counterfeits, and
doubtless would have been Aoated successfully
had it not been for McCartney's conviction
fifteen years ago.
In addition to tein. On exper. counter
feiter, Mccartney was prime cracksynan,
and it i; quite probable that he has been en-
gagged in many a robbery that has never
been traced to him. He had partner once
Miles Ogle. At one time they had a lot of
plates, and had printed some fine specimens
Of tho ''queer." One night Mccartney ran
away with plates and all. Ogle hunted him
high and low, but never found him.
Mccartney is old and infirm, but so sly and
SO expert that had he not been rearrested
early he would doubtless soon have flooded
the market with some fine specimens of his
handiwork.

Ellery Charming and Andrews Norton,
Of whom the former attacked Cal
vinism on the ground that it was
unworthy the dignity Of human nature and
the fatherhood Of God; the latter on the
ground that it was not taught in the Bible
Norton was ever ready with proof texts to
show that the Scriptures had been perverted;
Claiming, with glowing sentences to the e.
feet that Gods work could not be failure,
and he could not, consistent with his eternal
attrihStee, have created man for any but a
good destiny. Norton was the aristocrat of
exegesis; Claiming the democrat of human
ity, maintaining that all men ought to be
free on earth and would be free to do well to
all eternity. The general ideas Of Claiming
have been modernized and popularized by
men like Henry Ward Beecher.
OF course the disciples Of these two men
went much further then either Of them: and
equally Of course there was reaction inside
the church, toward more rigid formularies.
Ministers who had quietly ignored doctrinal
points, while still in orthodox pulpits, were
now put to the test; ana the church forced
those who were unitarian lin sentiment to be-
come such in open profession. Theodore Par.
ker naturally followed, and went beyond
Claiming, and was followed and exceeded by
O. B. rockingham. There was literary
revolt against strictness of creed, in equal
progress with the ministers revolt, and of the
latter the greatest product and exponent was
Ralph Waldo Emerson. tits not possible to

Cottonseed Meal,

The demand for cottonseed meal for
feeding purposes has grown wonderfully
within the past few years, indeed in many
places it has almost become staple
article, like cornmeal. After the oil is
extracted and the cake has been ground
into meal, it becomes very nutritious
food and is highly esteemed by dairymen
and others for causing an increased flow
OF milk. 1t has great strength and should
not be fed alone; one quart mixed with
bran is about the right proportion to
begin with, which may be gradually in
creased to about two quarts as the animal
becomes accustomed to its use. 1t is
claimed to excel haxseed meal in milk
producing properties, and is now sold at
about the same price per ton. OF all the
vegetable substances used for food the
cottonseed cake is richest in nitrogen,
pi;osplloric aci! and potash, and conse-
luently makes the most valuable manure.
II is said that 1hree-fourths of the seed
raised here. is exported in the form of
cake or meal to Europe, where it is even
more highly appreciated than in this
country.

Trying Out Lard.

Lard should be tried out over slow
fire and remain there until the scraps be-
come crisp and brown and all watery
particles are evaporated. "A handful of
slippery elm bark is still sometimes added
at time of rendering the lard by old
fashioned folk, but this is not necessary,
and is no longer a common practice.
Stoneware jars are the best receptacles
for lard that is to be kept a long time A
dry cellar or cool room is suitable
place for storage, but damp and moldy
cellar is to be avoided.
Leaf lard and fat pieces may be rem
dered together, but the fat from the in
testines must be tried by itself, as it is
liable to impart a rancid flavor to the
lard after it has been kept a short time.
Leaf lard that has been slowly tried over
q dull fire will, if packed down in stone
jars and kept in cool, dry place with
the jars covered, retain its original sweet
flavor and white color. Care must be
exercised that every fragment of mem
brane and particle of animal fiber be
carefully strained out before the lard goes
into the lars,

recalled him to its service, and in 1869 he as
sumed the duties Of chief engineer of the
road, which position he held until the failure
Of his health compelled his retirement in 1885.
His first great work was the laying Of the
two additional tracks from Albany to
Buffalo, which was accomplished in the years
1873 and 1874. During his administration,
also, nearly all the old wooden bridges on the
line were replaced by substantial iron struct-

work with which he was identified was the

This measure is made of three-quarter
inch pine Or bass wood boards 1-2 feet in
length and 2 inches in width nailed to the
uprights, which are 2 12 feet long and 8
inches wide. The pointed ends of the up
rights are s feet and inches apart, so
that two lengths will make one rod. It
is light and easily used with one hand, re-
versing the ends and turning On the for
ward point as fast as the operator can
walk. This measure has been found
convenient to use in laying out irregular

should be part OF the time to avoid an un-
even surface at the corners. Carefully
handled, it is as accurate as claiming and
