dishes n eatables, and John with the tea
service. When they had spread the cloth on
the library table and arranged everything.
my rather stately h~ousekeeper, Mrs. Lang,
sailed in.
"Mrs. Lang" I said, 'let me present you to
MI. John ~Trelawney, who remains with us,
and to whom every one in the house will nav
as much Difference and attention as to me.
Uncle John, this is the h~ousekeeper, Mrs.
Lang"
Mrs. Lang was evidently mystifed, but
she was equal to the occasion. She per-
formed an elaborate courtesy. Uncle John,
as a polite old young gentleman, rose and
bent his body in acknowledgment.
"Now,"1 said, mo one need wait, as we
are to have some conversation on family mat
tiers. I can even dispense with your attend
ance, Mrs. Lang"
The h~ousekeeper shifted family, but depart
ed with the others.
"Now for the feast of the Barmecides.n
said Uncle John, gayly. "Nol the tea tastes
as natural as though it wero tea. These
chops, too, what is the matter with nv teeth2
Why, hang it! they're half gone. l see, all
in k~eeping-sans teeth, sans everything"
"Uncle john" I ~interposed, ''you must cx-
cuse me If I caution you to be careful about
your eating. As your stomach has been &C.
customed solely to liquid food for over
eighty-four years, solid matter might"-
Liquid food! eighty-four years!" he burst
out. Nov what could have led to such a
mental vagary even in a dream? And know
ing this to be a dream, why can't I wake
myself!"
The supper passed OIL, though Uncle John
would pause occasionally and tap his head
and smile. He evinced signs OF fatigue
shortly after, and I led him to a chamber,
where 1 assisted him to disrobe, and left him.
The next morning, finding he was very
weak, l had chocolate served to him in his
room. The servants were evidently puzzled,
and ! could fancy the below stairs parlia-
ment in active session. But they were well
drilled, and evinced no surprise in our pres
ence, and made no inquiries as to how and
when this newly found relative had come to
be a visitor. About II o'clock my guest rose.
and l assisted him to the library, where We
had breakfast. While we were eating he

ceive company, his guest was a French gen.
tleman, a M. Delille. After dinner tho guest
happened to mention that he was a pupil of
M. Mesmer and was well versed in his system.
Some good natured skepticism being evinced
as to the power Of producing hypnotic sleep,
he offered to experiment on his host, and did
SO successfully. Then he proposed to try it
on John, who assented. He was equally
successful there. He put a number of ques-
lions to John while in the mesmeric state,
which were answered, to his brothers great
delight. The windows were open, as the day
was warm. They were what were called at
the time French windows, opening to the
floor, on q narrow balcony with a low railing.
One OF the answers seemed so comical that
the Frenchman fell into a fit of laughter, SO
violent that he lost his balance and fell back
ward out Of the window and over the balcony
to the ground, the chamber being in the Sec
ond story. My father ran down to assist him,
but he was past assistance. The man had
broken his neck.
There was a coroner's inquest, whose YER

That was over my father went in to John,

been forgotten. He found him still in the
mesmeric stupor, and tried to awaken him.

clan, to whom he detailed the circumstances
Every effort was in vain. The doctor insist
ed that it was a cataleptic fit; he pooh poohed
at Mesmer and his devices. But whatever it
was, John could not be aroused, and was put
to bed. Thus he had remained through these
long years. To avoid scandal, the secret had
been kept in the family. His food, which
was given him by stomach tube, was of a
liquid character, and had served to maintain
life. His brother had attended him, per-
forming the most servile offices faithfully
and well. When his son was near manhood
he had let him into the secret. When tho
latter married, the wife, in time, was made
acquainted with it. Thus it had gone from
father to son, and on down, the Trelawneys
being chained % a living corpse.

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
Why Fruit-GrOwcrs Should Wage Com
mon War Ag iinst the Pest.

Why Fruit-GrOwers Should Wage Com
mon War Against the Pest.
A number of years ago John Dixon.
IN Iowa farmer, discovered the
metho of destroying the Goblin moth
by spraying the apple trees, at the
close of the blossoming period, with
arsenical poisons dissolved in water.
To him and to Prof. A. j. Cook, who
has done more than any one else in
making the method generally known,
the fruit-growers of this country are
deeply indebted.
The annual total loss to fruit
the Goblin moth and other insects
amounts to millions. In some sec
tons, success in fruit culture is no
longer possible without an unremit-
ing warfare against the insect pests.
to such an extent have they increased.
The method advised by Prof. Cook
is very simple. cheap and effective.
London purple, dissolved in water at
the rate of one pound to hundred
gallons, is applied with a force pump
throwing a strong, fine spray. To
destroy the Goblin moth, the first APP
plication is made just when the bloom
drops, and another two weeks later.
The success attending extensive ex-
periments made the past two or three
years has caused quite demand for
spraying machines. and there are
number of inventions on the market
this season that do the work thor.
oughly.
The suggestion is offered that the
farmers and fruit growers of each
neigh borhood form a combine and
wage common war against the COM
mon enemy. The larger machines
could be purchased and men employed
to do the work thoroughly, spraying
every orchard and fruit tree in the
community.
A destructive warfare waged ali
along the line would prove much more
effectual in the end than the skirmish-
ing attacks by individual fruit grow
ers here and there. Farm and Fire

birds cease their singing. During
all this year of first love, Kate had heard
the roll of drums, the good-byes of friends,
and RachePs comfortless cry of grief for
her children, as if it came from an outside
world. When Carl spoke of taking his
place in the ranks, she had put her arms
about him and said: NAY, dear; we are
betrothed You shall give me this year;
for OF old they granted to the soldier newly

the war went on. The village streets grew

terrible. Carl's face grew troubled at last

Water in Cooking.

All cooks do not understand the
different effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and yege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water. containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many vegetables, as onions,
boil nearly tasteless in sof water. BE-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions. causing the vegeta-
