Mrs. Annie w. Ryerss, who died in
Philadelphia in 1886, bequeatcd the sum
of $50, 900 to provide hospital for i'll,
aged and injured animals. She also di-
-cctcd that the sum of $40, 900 be placed
with safety deposit company and the
interest thercfrom used for the support
of the institution. She appointed a
President and officers to run the concern,
and buildings are now being erected
with q view to carrying out her wishes.
1t is to be called "The Ryerss Infirmary
for Dumb Animals" and it is to be
operated in connection with the Pennsyl-
vaian Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals. The officers have
been having number of conferences as
to how the will should be carried out.
Whether cats and other animals will
be admitted has not yet been decided.
1t has been agreed, however, that first
of all horses of carriers and tcamsters
and others too poor to feed and shelter
their stock should be received and cared
for. 1t is said that there is not another
like institution in the world.

A Dainty Dish OF Apples.

A dainty and unusual dish with apples
is the following: Stew half dozen large
apples as for sauce, and while still warm
stir in bit of butter and sugar to taste
say one cupful. Let this get cold,

little lemon juice. Put little butter
into frying pan, and when it is hot add
a cupful of bread crumbs and stir until
they color to nice brown. Then sprinkle
q part of these bread crumbs upon the
bottom and sides of buttered pudding

apple, sprinkle the remainder of the
bread crumbs on top and bake twenty
minutes. Turn out Of the mold and serve

Forgery By Tracing.

Young Mr.. Tinker, of Cincinnati,
made fatal mistake when he forged his
employers name by tracing his signature
over a piece of carbonatcd paper. An
expert says: "lf man writes his sigma
ture. however trembling or even para
lytic his hand may be, there is definite
continuity of the stroke. If one attempts
10 write with pen over traced sigma
ture there is hesitation in the progress
of the pen, which may not be observa-
bic 10 the naked eye, but is always to be
detected under powerful magnifying. In
the great Boston will case-the first oc-
casSion where forgery by tracing was
brought to public attention-thc traced
signature was photographed upon a glass
plate, and then, by means of camera,
thrown in greatly magniied proportions
upon a screen for the benefit of the jury.
Thus the erratic, rail fence progress Of
the pen work was clcirly exposed" "
Tinkler's forgery was detected in this
way after he had secured several thou
sand dollars. The forger went to.Lon-
don and played the fool. He lodged as
a first class hotel and patroniHed fash
ionable tailor. The detectives found him
and brought him back. His case Is hope

Household Hints.

If the cover is removed from soap
dishes the soap will not get soft.
A sty on the eye will sometimes yield

Tho sbinment of 10 600 Chi

The shipment of 10000 Chinese
coolies to Siberia will mark, asserts the
San Francisco Chronicle, a new depart
ure in the relations between China and
Russia. For long time the frontier
has been rigidly guarded and no Chinese
have been able to settle in Siberia,
while China, on her part, has prevented
any European miners from working the
rich gold deposits on the Amoor river.
Many parts of Southern Siberia offer a
q good field to the adventurous Chinese
who have been cut off from this coun-
try and Australia.

Saws the New York Herald: cit is
one of the oldest of geographical ca.
prices that in the course of nature the
strip of land in Central America, only
about one hundred and fifty miles wide,
should separate the two oceans. You
would naturally suppose that either the
Atlantic would have worked its way to
the Pacific or the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The early explorers believed that this
must be the case, for they sailed on and
on to find the expected outlet, but were
at last compelled to go round Cape
Horn. What nature refused TO do we
must do for ourselves. Since the Panama
route has been practically abandoned,
the more necessity for undertaking to
pierce the Isthmus by the Njcaraguan
line of survey"

A movement is on foot looking to the
passage of an act by Congress, if other
measures arc inadequate, that will re-
quire all the persons on the Treasury
pay rolls of the Government to be actual
residents and citizens of this country.
The movement has its origin from the
fact that considerable number of these
carried on the pension list have gone TO
Europe and taken up permanent abodcs
since the allowance of their claims. An
extra expense is entailed by the State
Department in making out and forward,
ing drafts to these pensioners.

Telegraph operators, it seems, are de-
veloping adiscase of their own. One or
two cases have recently occurred in
which the finger nails have dropped off,
one after another. This affection is sup
posed to be due to the constant hammer
ing and pushing with the finger ends re-
quircd by the working of the Morse sys-
tenn of tclegraphy.

BETTER THAN GOLD

Better than GRANDEUR better than gold, l.
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at ease.
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for another's woe,
And share its joys with genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to enfold
Ali men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Thouob toilinp for bread in an humbk
sphere,
Doubly blessed with contert end health,
Untried by the lust or the cares Of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot;
For mind and morals, in natures plan, f-2
Are the genuine tests Of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the SONS Of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his alumbe1
Deep
Bring sleepy draughts to tn. downy bed'
Where luxury pillows its aching head'
But he his simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land Of dreams. i,
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the gre,t and good OF yore;
Tho sage's lore and the poets lay,
Tho glories Of empire pass away;
The worlds greaadream will thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
When all the fireside characters comes
The shrine Of love, the heaven OF life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister. or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought nor
sold,
And center there are better than gold.

Plants and Pianos.

A piano tuner who says that pianos
frequently deteriorate because they are
allowed to become 100 dry, prescribes
this remedy: keep a growing plant in
the room, and so long as your plant
thrives your piano ought to, or else
there's something wrong with 1t. just
try it, and see how much more water
you'll have to put in the flower pot IN
the room where your plant is than in
any other room. Some people keep a
huge vase or urn with sopping wet
sponge in it, near or under the piano,
aud keep it moistened just as cigar
dealer keeps his stock. They keep this
up all the time the fires are on."

MARTHY'S KISS,

When I went a-courtin' Marthy,
I was poor as poor could be,
But that didn't set her ag'in me,
For she had faith in me;
She knew had grit an courage,
An wasn't the kind to shirk,
An she was ready an willin'
To do her share of work.
/ remember our weddin' mornin',
An how she said to me:
you're poor an Pm poor, Robert,
That's easy enough to see;
That is, as some folks reckon;
But our hearts are rich in love,
An we two'l pull together,
An trust in the Lord above"
Then she reached up an kissed me,
An said, as she did this,
"There's always more where that como from
An there's help sometimes in kiss"
l tell you what it is, sir,
felt as strong aS'in,
After that kiss she give me,
AM jest laid out to win.
An did it. We've money plenty,
An the comforts it can give;
We've home, an we've got each other,
An few more years to live.
Whenever my hands got weary
I'd think of the woman at home,
An somehow It would make work easy
An light, till night'd come.
tell you that kiss Of Marthy's
Was better than bags of gold.
There's riches some folks can't reckon
An things that don't grow old.
l shouldn't ha' been without it,
The man that I've co. to be,
An Marthy shall have the credit
For the help she's been to me.
