w. w. snndford's Explanation

~ ~ w .ns9adal2Ea via Nas- arrested .nn !.
the Fourth of July, for obtaining fire
crackers by false representations, has beon
released from Jail. Alderman Barr gave
him two weeks tmcIto raise the money 10
pay the bills and costs, and held him in
his own recognizance to appear and settle
the claim.
Mr.. Sandford called at the INTELLIGEN-
GER Office to-day and took exception to
Tint part of the publication calling him "a
"pious fraud" He admits having pro-
cured the firccrackcrs, but denies having
made false representations. He says he
was given the goods on credit, but was un-
able to pay for them, having failed to re-
ceive money he expected.
He says he never played the pious
racket 10 defraud anybody, and he is given
the benefit of that statement. He Is of
opinion that he would have been out OF
this trouble several days ago if the letter
he sent his father would have reached him,
but unfortunately was opened by his
mother, who he says has no liking for him,
and she took the responsibility of writing
10 Alderman Barr that nothing would be
done for him.
When his father returned home and was
shown the letter he promptly sent the
young man money 10 pay his board and
promised TO send him sufficient To pay the
claims against him.

The PeriIs of Smoking.

The story which Marshall p Wilder

meeting between patient and his doc
tor. The patient wore an unhappy
look.
There is nothing particularly the
matter with me-" he said, except that
am all out of sorts. | feel shady all
day long, and somehow can't get in
trim"
''Of course not" said the doctor,
oracularly. "You eat too much, sleep
too much, drink too much and smoke
too much. You should eat but two
meals day, drink nothing but red
wine and smoke one big cigar only
after dinner"
A month passed and the doctor met
the patient again. The marks of misery
and gloom were upon the face of the
patient. i am about ten thousand
per cent. worse" he said, "The eat
ing was all right, and the drinking was
all right, but smoking that one cigar
day nearly killed me-"
''How SOP" asked the doctor.
II never smoked before in my life. "

Burn None But Dry Wood.

A certain amount of undried wood
will raise from the freezing to the boil
ing point twenty-seven pounds of fwater;
when dried it will raise TO the same
temperature thirty-six pounds of water.
Hence drying the wood increases its
heating power one-third. When there
is moisture either in the wood or on it,
it is converted into vapor at an expense
of heat The moisture also prevents
the ready combination of the oxygen
with the carbon, and as q result more
carbon is driven off. Every one knows
that when green or wet wood is burned
it makes more and denser smoke than
wood that is seasoned or dry. This is
in part owing to the watery vapor, and
also to the carbon carried off; the car
bon lost is so much fuel wasted. 1t is
easier to cut a certain amount Of green
wood than the same amount of dry
wood, but SO much more of the former
is required, that its cutting involves
more labor. The economy of wood
shed is apparent, when dried wood
gives off one-third more heat than
wood undried. not to speak of the
bother of burning green wooe.-Amer.

venient, and can be provided at small
cost. Seedlings of evergreen trees
grow slowly, and require to be shaded
and kept moist during hot weather all
through the first year of their growth,
and sometimes longer. Seeds take
some time to swell their coats
after being placed in the ground;
hence, if planted dry, they should be
sown as soon as soil can be had to cover
them. termination may be fastened,
especially with seeds of hard text
ure, by pouring hot water on them,
and allowing them to soak for twenty
four hours before sowing.
Seeds sometimes fail to grow from
being planted too deep. The larger
nuts and acorns should be covered with
soil about as deep as the seed is thick;
cred with more han half an inch of
mellow soil, pressed gently with the
back OF a spade so as to make the
earth firm around them, and when the
young seedlings appear they should be
carefully weeded. Occasionally seeds
will remain in the ground until the fol-
lowing season without terminating.
Should any fail to grow by the time
spring is over, and on examination the
kernels are found sound, the seed-beds
should be kept weeded and shaded un-
til the next season."
