TWO NOBLE BROTHERS.
Both Perish In Heroic Attempts to SaS
Each Other.

Both Perish In Heroic Attempts to Save
Each Other.
Several years ago in the western
part of Snyder County large gang Of
men were raising a barn. A number
of them were pushing up heavy piece
OF timber vertically to be placed
horizontally along where the caves
would be. When the one end was
about halfway above the height of the
caves the object was to swing it care
fully into position. Albion Deutler,
weighing two hundred pounds, was
standing at the end of the barn on the
upper log. When the timber was al
most ready TO be swung into position
the scaffolding upon which the men at
the lower end stood gave way, and
every thing being wet and slippery
from recent rain the upper end slid
around and struck Albion. He being
very quick caught at the moving piece
of timber, which soon fastened itself as
temporary cross beam.
Albion was suspended from the log
by his arms, eight feet from the barn
and twenty-five feet fTo r. the grUunCf..-
He was so disabled from the jar that
he could neither get into the barn nor
hold himself long. On the ground near
by his brother Harry and another man
were working. Seeing Albion in this
predicament, they ran to his assistance
and wanted to catch him. go away
and let me die, il l must; you shall not
risk your life for mine," said he to his
brother. "All right" responded Harry
and at the same time he motioned to
his companion to assist him in catch
ing Albion.
Not over two feet behind Harry was
newly dug well, thirty i've feet deep.
He looked into this, fully realizing his
dangerous situation, and then turned
his eyes toward Albion. The latter,
not being able to hold himself any
longer, began his descent. IL must, |
must save him." said Harry, earnestly.
His heroism was at the expense of his
own life, for the momentum of the fall
| ing body was too much for them to
check. The sweeping descent of AL
bion knocked both men on their backs
and hurled Harry head first into the
well.
Albion in his descent broke one Of
his arms and two of his ribs. After
looking about him and realizing the
situation he quickly fastened the one
end of long rope to a tree near by
and the other end he dropped into the
well, down which he began his descent
with one arm, while the pains of his
bruises and mutilated body were almost
uncomfortable. Notwithstanding the
pain he descended the rope to the sur.
face of the water, which was eight feet
deep. He plunged in to rescue his
brother, but alas! was unable to swim
and having lost his hold on the rope
Harry, while struggling for life, pulled
him under.
Before the men above could be Of
any real assistance Harry died. Al.
bion did not live over fifteen minutes
after he reached the surface of the
earth. -Philadelphia Press.

WORK THAT PAYS,
Cooking Feed for Cows and Young Hogs
During The Cold Season.

During Inc Colu SehsOns
It pays to cook food. l do 80 for

potatoes, and, in fact, all kinds of grain
and roots. | find can put on as much
flesh with one bushel-32 quarts-of
cooked corn as | can with so quarts of
raw corn. also tested cooking for O
single cow, and having cooked four
pounds of corn and oats ground to-
gether per day, got an increase of 16
per cent. in the milk, and of 10 per
cent. in the cream or butter. The COW
was fed and watered the same as usual
in every way except that the grain was
cooked. | also tested it on my driving
horse, and found that he could do the
same work on eight pounds Of cooked
corn and oats that he did on II pounds
of raw. and he looked and felt better.
l fed him the same number of pounds
of hay in each case. For cooking use
small feed steamer when l have to
feed five hogs and upwards; and for a
smaller number | cook sometimes ON
the stove, and sometimes with the
steamer. l cook every day in summer
and well us in winter, if | am feeding
not less than one bushel per day, and
if am feeding less than that | cook
every other day.

one single COW or hog. In such a case
l would cook on the kitchen stove; but

cooking feed for five COWS, or five
hogs or four horses.
claim that it pays me from 20 to 40
per cent. to cook roots, the profit de-
pending on the kinds of stock l am
feeding. One bushel of steamed pota-
toes l value more highly than do one
bushel of raw corn for young pigs or
calves. l used not to have time to
cook; but according to my experience
during the last four years, if have not
the time. it would pay me to hire some
one to do it for me for lot of 20 or %
hogs. l want my stock fed just at the
same times each Gay. l usually feed
night and morning as regularly as it
can be done. One OF my neighbors put
81 pounds of flesh and fat on $50
pounds hog in 80 days on cooked corn,
and so pounds on one fed on raw corn.
In all my experience l have not known
single farmer who makes a success
of his business who does not own that
it pays him to cook grain for his hogs
IL he has once tried it. In cooking with
uS steamer all that is needed is to put
in four or five pals of water and build
the fire, and put the feed into the bar
rel or tank. l usually do it after feed
ing in the evening, and it is all ready
70 feed in the morning, and it pays me
from 20 to SO per cent. to do it. j. B,

dry add a little water. Fill glass jars
with it, screw covers lightly on and set

rolling it. Begin as low down as pos

cough up the crushed parasites. Rural

PEDDLER'S PARADISE.
Saturday Night Scenes Where New York's
Poor Do Their Marketing.


Poor Do Their Marketing.
One of the results of the thickly pop
uAted condition OF certain districts of
| the city has been the establishment of
aSaturday night street market by the
various peddlers of food, merchandise
and motions" who roam the streets at
large during the week. Before night
fall on the last day of the week these
idnerant merchants take uptheir stand
on one of the crowded avenues and
prepare to reap a harvest of small
change by the sale of the stale, accu-
mulated "leavings" of the week.
As l went up Ninth avenue last
Saturday evening | noticed with sur
Prise the dimensions attained by the
open air market in that locality. From
about Thirty fifth to Forty-second street
both sides of the avenue were lined
with the carts and wagons of these
| yenders. A haze hung over them,
composed of the smoke from their
paraf1ine lamps and torches mingled
with the damp night air.
The noise was truly that of babel
Of tongues. Irish accents mingled with
the broken English of the Italian.
German, Polish, Spanish, Scandinavian
and Mongolian tongues wagged busily.

81 didn't wait to hear any more.
You never saw boy so pleased as l
was. l went out to the barn first

rejoicing.

A New Game.

There is new way to play with the
letters, which are so much used in the
various more or less intricate word
making games. Try it, and see how
much more interesting and exciting
it is than it sounds. Get half a dozen
wideawake people around the table,
and then put the letter-box in tho
hands of some steady head who can be
trusted as umpire. He will throw a
letter in the center of the table, and
the first one in the circle who can tell
a geographical name beginning with
the letter in sight takes the letter; and
the one at the end who can count the
greatest number is the winner OF the
game. Any name of any place under
our sun which is of sufficient dignity
to possess a post-office is legiti-
mate to use; any lake, river, mount
tain. or sea. The players must be
willing to abide by the decision of the
umpire as to who speaks first, and also
accept his ruling out of any word
which has once been called. recent
ly saw circle of gray-heads kindled
into excitement and enthusiasm, amid
peals of laughter, over this simple
amusement. 1t is curious to see that
at the uttermost parts Of the earth
places are called, and our most promi-
nent cities and States ignored. 1t is
good exercise for children, as it
teaches their brains to work quickly,
and improves their geography; but an
adult hand should hold the letter-box.
