Vines for the Dwelling House.

vines Tor the DWeiliuE Jun
Z Nothing adds more to the appearance
of q place than vines growing about the
house. II poetry in growing things be-
longs to one class of plants more than to
another 1t must be that vines are the
poets OF the field and garden / have
seen houses that were as ~ungraceful In
their bare outlines as they could well be
so transformed by the use of vines about
them that you forget all about their for
mer uginess- That was hidden under
the clustering leaves; the slender
branches, thrown here and there in the
artist, breaking up all harsh outlines and
destroying all Of that primness and for
mality characteristic Of a house as it
comes from the hand of the carpenter.
Skillful planning by a designer with an
artistic eye a do much for a home, but
the vine can do more. The finishing
touch must be made by 1t. 1t is 10 only
q poet, but it Is an artist. 1t cannot only
conceal defects, but it is capable Of maxi
ing them picturesque and striking when
given a chance TO do 30. l was very
sorcibly impressed with the truth of this
by seeing a house not long ago, which
had been left In an unfinished state.
This condition would have made the
house an unpleasant thing to see. But
some one had planted vines about 1t and
they had clambered to the roof and run
along the projecting boards of the ends,
covering them with foliage and dropping
here and there a festoon of greenery
which actually made the building more
attractive han 1t would have beer IL the
cornice had been completed, with its
straight lines and uncompromising an
giles. Do you want something to Chamber
up to the oof and cover the building
with foliage, beautiful all through the
season, but doubly 80 In the fall7 Then
the very plant you are in search Of Is our
native ampelopsis or Virginia creeper.
This vine Is to US what the ivy Is to Eng
land. 1t Is hardy; 1t will fasten itself
to the smoothest surface; 1t will take
care of itself. What more can you ask
In fall 1t will take on colors 30 brilliant
that it rivals the flowers in the beds be-

Lunar Influence on Cattle Brands.
1t has been legally settled in Texas that
the moon has an immense influence in
enlarging the brand on cattle. A lawsuit
was pending relative to the ownership of
a herd of cattle, and the solution de-
pended upon the proof of the brand,
which was found on comparison to be
three times as large as the branding iron
which the claimant used. Thirteen wit
nesses were introduced, all of them ex-
perts in branding and cattle herding.
They all swore that when cattle were
branded in the dark Of the moon the
brand will never, no matter how large
the animal may grow, get larger than the
dimensions of the iron used On the
other hand, when either grown cattle or
calves are branded in the light Of the
moon the scar will spread, and the lighter
the moon the larger will be the spread.
And the suit, involving several thousand
dollars worth of cattle, was settled on
this testimony. So the question is legally
settled that 1t Is the moon that does IT.

A ne.nernte but slIIx BOY

A Plattsburg Mo- special says: An
awful tragedy occurred two miles north
west of this city to-day. Neva Everett,
A pretty girl OF sixteen, was one Of the
bellies of the neighbOrhOod. One of her
most persistent suitors was William
Ball a youth of twenty. He made no
attempt TO conceal his affections for Miss
Everett. and haunted her footsteps
continually. She received his addresses
in pleasant way at first, but when he
began 10 assume so much persistence
she began to discourage them. This
msddened the boy, and he told her that
he could not live without her, and II she
refused 50 marry him something terrible
would be the result. She told him tina,
she did not desire TO marry yet, and
that he, too, had better be thinking
of some other subject To-day he
called at her home and renewed
his suit. There WAS no one at
home but the girl and her mo-
Their. She still maintained that she
did not desire TO marry MN. The re-
iected lover then pleaded with the mother
and begged her to influence her daughter
in his favor. Mrs. Everett said that she
would not allow her daughter to marry
for several years yet. No sooner were
the words spoken than Ball stepped back
and. drawing a pistol, shot the poor girl
dead. he then placed the muzzle of the
weapon TO his own head and blew his
brains out. Both were dead in five
Minutes snd the unfortunate mother IS

CHICAGO, February 11.-Judge Rich

Chicago, to-day rendered decision in
the case of the incorporators of the
Chicago Industrial School. The cor
porators are all Roman Catholics, and
temporarily, until they secure build

the Sisters Of the Good Shepherd to
house and teach girls committed. There
are other industrial schools in the State,
the corporators of which are Protest
ants. BY law the county has to pay for
the supper. of such girls. The county
resisted the payment on the ground that
it would be payment Of public money
for sectarian purposes. Judge Tuthlll
in an able opinion decided that the
purpose was not sectarian and ordered
the county to pay the full amount, sl0,-

handsome blonde is Mrs. Gertrude
Whitacre. daughter of +. NJ. Allen, a
Portland banker, and she is just as sharp
as she is stylish. She came to this city
Monday, and on Tuesday tripped into
the National Bank accompanied by two
well-known society people here, who
had known her at Portland and did not
hesitate TO identity her. Thereupon
she presented a draft for 81, 900 drawn
upon a Detroit bank and received the
cash. She promptly left with the money
and there was no uneasy thought about
her until yesterday afternoon, when the
draft came back from Detroit dishonored
and pronounced spurious
To-day it was learned that Mrs. Whita-
ere had Joined Frank NJ. Allen. the
adopted son Of Z. NJ. Allen, her father,
in Windsor, Detrot's Canadian suburb.
Thursday they left for an unknown
point farther east in Canada. Young
Allen deserted wife and child in Beld-
ing, Mich, and Mrs Whitacre left a hus-
band in Portland. Allen is a handsome
blonde OF lively disposition. All the
parties to the elopement and their rela-
tives are widely known and socially pro-

A Book Agents Failure 10 Talk a
Man 20 9e"th.

A rather shabbily dressed man, with a
large book under his arm, inserted his
nose into the oritice through which rail
road tickets at the Union depot at Austin
are sold.
"What can I do for you Z" asked Pete
Lawless, the genial ticket agent.
How much does ticket to Dallas
cost ?"
"Seven dollars and fifty cents"
Well, I've got all but the 81.
"Thats hardly enough
"Look here, my friend, Pm book
agent, and got roped into little game
of poker, and want to get ont OF town.
Now if l stay here III have to drum, and
am a terror I've talked lots of people
into the lunatic asylum. You don't want
me to talk you silly, do you ?"
"Suppose you try"

tin you want to help me to leave this
town. My staying here week will re-
tard its growth ten years."

A galvanized smile spread over the
mans face like lot of butter on hot
battercake, and in sing-song voice he
remarked
Pm Offering tho public, in seventeen
volumes, Or. Bumblebee's Observations
in Palestine, book that should be in
every household, a book that not only
contains the views of the learned sayant
on what he saw in tho Holy Land, but

what he did not see, altogether forming
a complete library of deep research,
pnre theology, and chaste imagery. |

clop@dia, but | am giving it away at a
ridiculously low iolue---'
Tho agent paused Re expected that
the ticket agent would be bored, but he
was not. On the contrary, he seemed to
be amused and pleased.
Hadn't you better give me a ticket
instead Of having mo 10 talk you to
death?
Talk me to death Why, man alive,
| like to hear it. Say that over"
"Ssy it over ?" queried the bewilder-
ed BOOK agent
Yes; | was a book agent myself be-
fore | went into the railroad business,
and what you say is music to me. 1t
calls back hallowed memories Of the past
and makes me want to go on the road
again. Why. man alive, | could listen
to you all day. wouldn't have you
leave Austin for anything. Come around
every day, and we will swop expert
ences."
The book agent closed his book with
a bang and faded away like beautiful
dream in the direction Of saloon where
they set out free lunch.
