the wreck as the sound OF wheels ap-
preached had healthy sound, and
did much to calm Mrs. Thompson's
fears. A few moments late Pats
strong arm lifted one side of the tenn.
porary prison-house, and Annie
crawled painfully out. while Hattie
came tumbling after.
Both girls seemed quite willing to
ride back behind the ''old poke" and
even Dot received permission from his
young mistress to prolong his days in
definitely when she heard what part
he had taken in the timely rescue.
"What a dear. blessed mother you
are," said the repentant Annie, throw
ing her arms around her mothers
neck when they were at last alone to-
gether. "You haven't once said i
told you so.
al thought something else had said
that" was the quiet response. Annie
looked away, and acted as il she had &
cold, wiping her eyes in fashion that
BODIED well for future conduct.
Dot still leads charmed life at the
Thompson mansion, vibrating at his
own sweet will between the ditch and
the sitting-room carpet feeding on
Gunther's best and enjoying many a
dainty forbidden to brutes of nobler
breed and higher intelligence.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

Plant the bush kinds of squash
four feet apart each way; the running
kinds eight to ten feet
There is no plant that enjoys
plenty OF good manure more than the
rose, and lack of this will always re-
suit in scraggy plants and miserable
blooms.
1t is important that newly planted
trees be shaded from the sun. Straw
wrapped around the trunk up to the
lower branches is successfully used
for this purpose.
No farm hand should be retained
as driver who is continually using
the whip. The horse that is permit
ted to work at slow, steady gait will
be more service able and be ready for
work every day.
III the currant bushes have failed
to bear we'll, cut out the dead wood,
trim up well, and then stir the soil
we'll around them and apply good
dressing of manure. BY securing
strong, vigorous growth of few good
sprouts fair supply of fruit may be
secured.
Unless the strawberry beds are
kept clean the persistent crab grass
will take possession. Crab grass
grows rank, and its roots spread out
in every direction. 1t fourlshes best
on warm, sandy soil, but is partial
to the rich spots. Kill it out on
dry, warm day.
Tho lawn mower will assist in kill
ing weeds if used frequently. Many
weeds die and disappear If not allowed
to go to seed, but II seed be produced
the weeds spring up next season. By
moving the grass the weeds are also
cut down, and il the work be we'll done
the weeds will be replaced by thicker
growth of grass.
-Spiced Tomato Becfsteak. Take
thick round of steak. cut gashes in it
and fill with powdered crackers and
spices and small pieces of butter; roll
up tightly and tie with Irvine. Put n
quart OF sliced tomatoes in baking
pan, lay the beef in it and cook slowly
three hours; unite and serve with
brown gravy. = Yankee Blade.

spoonful of butter in a frying-pan,
let melt and add tablespoonful of
-four; mix until smooth, add half a
pint Of milk, stir until it bois, add
half teaspoonful of salt and four
tablespoonful of grated cheese; pour
over the caulilower and serve.
Make catsup and tomato sauce
while the fruit is in its prime. Keep
the vines to trellises or stakes, and cut
back all supernuous shoots. Those
who have greenhouses should root
cuttings from selected vines. These
plants can be kept through the winter
without making much growth, and
give fruit very early when set out next
spring
Cats often become o nuisance to
the cultivator CT flowers. and it is a
puzzle, sometimes, to know how to ex.
clude them from the garden or yard.
A gardener who has had experience
with this nuisance says he has found a
sure preventive. 1t consists simply
of double row of thin Irvine stretched
from nail to nail few inches above
the top of the palings.

But llildegonde's angelic guise
Affects me quite as badly.
Their rival charms distract me so

For, soon or late, full we'll know
I've got to choose between 'em.
Besides, to break woman's heart
Should horrify a heathen;
Yctif choose that is the part
That Fate assigns to me then.

A citizens meeting was held in Cumber
land, Md, last night to select delegates to
the Joint meeting of the canal board of di-
rectors and citizens interested in the rcstora.
tion of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,

meeting To order, aud alter explain.
ing its object in brief speech, he an
bounced the officers of the meeting. Much
interest was shown by the citizens In the
future of the canal. Able addresses were
made by Lloyd Lowndes, George l.. We'll
lington, William McKaiz and r. a. Gordon.
ali of the able speakers claimed that it was
absolutely necessary to have the canal put
in navigable condition as soon as possible,
and they promised To do all in their over
to have this done. The following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted !:
Whereas, 1t is stated certain citizens of
Western Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia are willing to repair the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, and make it Davlgable
from Cumberland to Georgetown, as it was
before the recent food, and propose the fol.
lowing plan:
l. That the president aud directors Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal shall issue the
bonds of the company for three tuudred
thousand dollars and secure the came by
mortgage on lis canal and other property,
subject only TO the mortgage made under
the set of 1878 and claims for labor and sup
plies.
I'd. That the Board of Public Works shall
approve OF this issue, and recommend the
legislature of Maryland to make valid such
mortgage.
8. That upon the acceptance of this propo-
sition they will enter into contract With
the canal company to restore the canal to
good navigable condition within ninety days
from the execution of the contract, and to
accept the said $500, 900 in bonds In full pay
ment thereof. Be it
Resolved. That the meeting approve the
above plan and recommend It's acceptance
by the Board of Public Works and the canal
Col mpany, and will favor the passage of an
act by the legislature making valid said
mortgage and bonds, considering that even
if the canal cannot be permanently main
tanned. this provision for present repairs
should be adopted, to prevent the enormous
losses to our citizens which the abrupt aban.
donment OF the canal must necessarily
cause.
A committee was appointed to 60 to
Georgetown end attend the meeting to be
held there to morrow.
