GONE AWAY.
Has the Mrs. Pluakett RejOined
Her Husband or ElOped
With WOrthington?

New York, Sept. 28.-An evening psps
Yesterday published q rumor that DR.. A.
Bentley Worthington and Mrs. Plunkett,
of Christian Science fame, have fed to
Australia, but their late neighbors in
Forty-second street think the woman has
rejoined her husband, as they both dissp-
pesred about the same time. When in
July il was shown that Worthing-
ton had travelled under many
aliases and had seven wives besides Mrs
MIMI, hospital, whom he married as Geo
Ward, be disappeared from this city, and,
so far as known, did not retsrn. Mrs.
Plunkett, whose husband har applied for
an absolute divorce because Of her rela
tons with Worthington, expressed faith in
the latter's repentance and sincerity, anr
announced that, despite his ugly record,
she would cling to the bigamist, and even
went so far as to promise to pay the debts
be had contracted under his many aliases
snd provide for his st. Paul wife and her
prospective baby.
Shortly after anne uncing this heroic re-
solve, Mrs. Plunkett also disappeared
from No. l3 West Forty-s. cond street. the
Christian science headquarters, where she
resided and published the Internstions
Magazine. the organ Of the sect. Subse-
quently the outfit of the Office WIS taken
away BY parties who said they would con-
linue the publication OF the msgszine.
About the time Mrs. Plunkett dissI-
peared her husband gave up his room in
the boarding house, No. lad West Forty
seco ID street, and stated that he was going
To CHICAGO never To return His divorce
suit is supposed to be still pending, bu,
people who know the couple say that
would not porbably interfere with re
newal of his matrimonial relations, pro-
vided Wortbington we're removed from the
scene or Mrs. Plunkett should renounc,
her infatuatiou for him. The neighbors
know very little of the Christian Science
trio, but, while some think Mrs. Plunkett
has eloped With Worthipgion, the majority
lean to the theory that she has run away
with her own husband and abandoned
Worthipgton to his vigorous career Of &C.

Wedding i'm Ancient Rome.

The woman of Rome in old days
was married at nightfall. She was
dressed in white robe, a symbol of
her virgin purity, bound round her
waist with a WOODEN sash /; her hair
was plated into six tresses, after those
of the Vestal virgins On her head
she wore a hame-colored veil and q
fresh wreath of the sacred verbena,
for the wife and priestess in her
family. Under the protection OF
Juna Domiduca (the home leader
she passed through the streets accom-
panied by her friends, and lighted on
her way with torches. By her side
there walked a young boy carrying an
open basket, in which lay a hank
of wool, a distaff and a spindle. for
spinning was the great duty Of the
Roman matron of the republic. To
be good spinner was gem 10 her
crown of virtues. by the side of chas.

Corn Fodder For Sheep.

There is no way OF disposing of corn

are consumed. My custom was to put
one bundle in Slated rack twelve or
fourteen feet long. dividing it into two
halves and laying the tip end Of each
nalf toward the outer end OF the rack.
This enables every sheep to get q fair
portion OF the foliage, not being re-
stricted TO either butts or tips. III
more than this amount is put into q
rack at once the sheep can not pene-
trate it and pick clean the center Of
the mass. The stocks are thrown out
every day, and the straw and oats be-
ing thrown over them fill up the in
terstices and make under the constant
trampling of the sheep. solid bed
which retains the liquid manure. In
the spring this is covered over thick
with straw and left until fall to rot

How to Wash Silk Stockings.

Do your silk stockings ever get
spoiled in the wash? Have them done
at home, and make the maid follow
carefully these directions: In wash
ing colored silks, especially silk
stockings, no soap must be rubbed on
the articles. Before commencing have
ready two hot irons and two pans of
water. In one pan your hot water and
in the other cold, adding a wine glass
OF common vinegar to each. Make the
hot water in creamy lather of suit
able consistency from the receipt given
for ''soap jelly" Wash each stocking
separately in the hot water and rub
carefully, commencing at the toe.
Squeeze it out, place it in the rinse
water. and leave it until the next one
is finished. Now squeeze them out of
the rinse water, but on no account
ring them. Roll separately in dry
cloth. Now take the stockings, iron
them each on the wrong side, and
finish them on the right, taking care
to leave no creases. If these instruc-
tions are properly carried out you may
wash with safety the most brilliant
colors. For the ''soap ielly'' take a
half pound of yellow soap and shave
it finely in saucepan with one quart
of water. Stand it by the fire. until it

HARD ON WIDOWS.
Chinese Custom StrikingIy Peculiar In

A Chinese Custom StrikingIy Peculiar In
Its HIdeOus AtrOcity.
Chinese papers give the particulars
of an atrOciOus custom of the sacrifice
of widows in a district of the Foo
Chow prefecture. If woman's hus-
band dies his relatives insist upon her
committing suicide so as to follow him
into another world. Three days before
the appointed date for this enforced
suicide feast is given at which all
the mans relations use every argu-
ment to make her comply with the
custom. Should she consent, as she is
invariably compelled to do, she is
placed in a sedan chair and carried in
procession to the sound of musical in
struments through the principal
streets to a platform previously pre-
pared, about thirty feet in height, up
which she is carried and placed in a
chair. The relatives and friends be-
low salute the victim, and it is Gus
tomary for the officials to proceed
thither to make a salutsSion. When
Ssfs ceremony is over rope is sus-
pended from beam, the widow places
it around her own neck, and one of her
brothers pulls the end with all his
strength and strangles her. This
done she is buried and an application
is made to the Emperor for some mark
of honor to commemorate her sacri-
flee, which is falsely reported as
voluntary one. Hence there is scarcely
family in Lien Klang which can not
boast of a virtuous widow, and the
whole country is studded with monu-
ments erected in their honor About
ten years ago new project gave Or
ders to abolish this custom, but the
order was obeyed only in the imme-
date neighborhoo of the city, and re-
cent instances of the sacrifice have
called attention to it's barbarity Chi

THE FARMERS HORSE.
An Animal That Should Possess the Trai
of an "AlI-Purpose" BreeA

An Animal That Should Possess the Traits
of an "AII-PurpOse" Bree%
Let farmers breed a class of horses
adapted to the varied work required
to be performed, to carry on the farm
and, not the least, one good stopper in
light wagons. These may be found in
class of horses suitable for the work
of the farm, and yet may be able to
trot mile in four minutes or so to the
wagon. Speedier than this is not de-
Birable, but thirty seconds a mile off
won't hurt them. Since horses have
so generally superseded oxen in the
work of carrying on farm, a breed is
required suited to the various labors
performed. There is heavy work to
be done, such as hauling wood and
lumber in winter. carting dressing
and stones in the fall and spring. and
gathering the various crops to the barn
and cellar.
If there is any class of stock raised
which needs to possess the ABNORMAL
traits of an ''all-purpose" breed, it
surely seems to be the farmers horse.
For such work as l have enumer-
ated, good size, compact form
and solid build of frame and
muscle are required. But such
requisites do not cover all the
needs of the farmer, and here is where
the general purpose" character
istics come in. The farmer has to
go to market, and to church, and his
business in various ways often calls
him upon the road in summer and in
winter. Then he needs a horse that
can get over the ground rapidly with
q light carriage, for time is money.
The saving of time (when the farm is
situated some distance from the vii
lage) should not be overlooked. The
horse which can travel eight to ten
miles an hour with ease over one which
heavily plods his four miles in the
same time, is the valuable horse.
To those wealthy farmers who can
afford to keep distinct breeds for the
farm and the road, the above reason
ing will have no especial interest. But
for the average farmer who tills his
farm of so, Is or 100 acres and keeps
only one pair of horses to perform the
labor, ask whether an Improvement
is not called for. Let our farmers aim
to combine size, style and speed to this
degree. Size enough to draw the
pillow, and do the heavy work of the
farm; stylish enough to suit the fastid-
ious taste, with speed and bottom to
road eight to ten miles an hOur.-L.

Never use square envelope. Women

1t appears that land grabbing has
been going on at lively rate in the
South Pacific. Official reports at
Washington are said to show that up
to 1886 foreigners had laid claim to
$4,000 acres in the Samoan islands,
which have a total area of 670,720.
Thus aliens asserted ownership OF
$4,000 acres more than the entire
kingdom possesses! During the past
two years the Germans have filed ad-
ditional claims amounting to many
thousands of acres.
