A Sheen Nourishinr n Wolf

Fulton County is the only county in
Pennsylvania that has not a mile of rail-
road within its borders. Much of IL is
mountainous and wild, although it is
near the rich and populous agricultural
region of the Cumberland valley. Wild
animals OF many kinds still roam in its
wilderness, and do annually much dam.
age to the outlying farming population.
Richard Cunningham owns a small farm
IN Il wild part of the Blue Mountains.
Like most of the land in the region, the
farm is best adapted to grazing. Cum
ningham keeps number of sheen be-
sides his other live stock, and up to n
short time ago some wild animals had
been regularly making inroads on the
Hock, especially among the lambs Cum
nlnSham had no idea what kind of beast
it was, but he at last succeeded in cap
turing it in trap, and was astounded to
find that he had caught wolf, an ami
nal supposed to be extinct in the Blue
Mountains. The wolf was she one, and
although she was held by both fore feet
in the strong jaws of the steel trap, she
was sucking baby wolf probably three
weeks old. Cunningham shot the old
wolf and captured the cub alive, and
took it home with the carcass of its
mother. The young wolf mourned piti.
fully for its mother, and Cunningham
proposed killing it, but his wife would
not hear to it, and took charge of it.
She could not induce it to take susie
nance, and it was in a good way to die
o! hunger when Mrs. Cunningham had
bright idea. The night before the wolf
was trapped one OF their ewes was robbed
of her lamb, undoubtedly by the wolf.
Failing in all her methods of Introducing
food into the baby VOLTS stomach, Mrs.
Cunningham carried the cub 10 the past
ure, and finding the eve, which was still
lamenting the loss of her lamb, she held
the wolf to the sleeps uddcr. In
stantly the wolf began to sucsle eagerly,
and the farmers wife had the satisfaction
of seeing the orphan wolf take hearty
meal. The eve was at first greatly averse
to this operation, but finally submitted
graciously, and seemed satisfied to let it
proceed. The success of Mrs. Cunning
hams plan to feed the young wolf being
assured. the eve was brought from the
pasture to the farm yard, and every day

The mystery to many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
look as good as new is explained in the
american analyst us follows:
Take, for instance, shiny old coat,
vest or pair of pants of broadcloth, cassi-
mere or diagonal. The scourer makes a
strong, warm soapsuds and pluuges the
garment into it, souses it up aud down.
rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts it
through second suds, then rinses it
through several waters and hangs it to
dry on line. When nearly dry he takes
it in, rolls it up for an hour or two, aud
then presses it. An old cotton cloth is
laid on the outside of the coat, and tho
iron passes over that until the wrinkles
are out; but the iron is removed before
the steam ceases to rise from the goods.
else they would be shiny Wrinkles that
are obstinate are remove by laying n
wet cloth over them and passing the iron
over that. If any shiny places are seen
they are treated rs the wrinkles are; the
iron is lifted while the full cloud of
steam rises, and brings the nap up with
1t. Cloth should always have a suds made
especially for it, for in that which has
been used for white cotton or wooden
clothes lint will be left in the water. In
this manner we have known the same
coat and pantaloons to be renewed time
and time again, and have all the look and
feel OF new garments. Good broadcloths
and its fellow cloths will bear MANY
washings, and look better every time be-
cause of them.

IRISH METHOD OF SAVING POTATOES.


When the potatoes are dug in Ireland,
they arc Immediately picked up and de-
posted in trench near by, about three
feet deep and two and half feet wide,
and hcaped very carefully in pyramidal
form, pains being taken to avoid bruis-
ing them. Straw is then placed over
them to the depth of about two inches,
aud earth placed over the straw TO the
depth of about four inches. Another
layer of straw is placed on top of this,
and then more earth on top again. This
is done to exclude both the air aud sun
shine.
BY carefully saving Irish potatoes after
they are ripe, in the Southern States,
where two crops of these potatoes can be
made in one year, there would be no
difficulty in securing good potatoes for
the farmers table from Jaunary to .Iauu-
airy. The second crop of Irish potatoes
is planted from late in June to August.
They should be sproutcd. under moist
straw before planting. Picayunc.

DIFFERENT WAYS OF PRESERVING r;,s.

DIFFERENT WAYS OF PRESERVING F:.s
The most common way of preserving
eggs is to slime them BY this process
they can be kept for twelve months, or
longer, but when boiled the shells are so
affected by the lime that they invariably
crack. For all other purposes of cookery
"llmed' eggs is about rs good as a
fresh egg. There is, however, preiu-
dice even against eggs that have been
perfectly preserved. For all culinary
uses an egg must be s'abovc suspicion.

ONE CAUSE OF STRINGENCY

Our financial friends of the East
 have learned nothing from their re- cent experiences. They are just as much opposed to sound and safe money as ever. They want just enough national currency to pay their interest and square their ac- counts in clearings. Anything more than that they regard as wild inna- ton. Their plan gives us two dis tinct and entirely separate systems of currency. One is the public mon- ey currency, which alone ever reach es the masses of the people; which alone the masses of the people can use in trade. The other is bank paper currency which is capable of the widest and widest fluctuations from expansion to contraction. This form of money can be put Tn circula- tion by the class which has stan ding credit. It is one of the greatest conveniences of modern business methods, but those who attempt to base business on it alone invite dis aster. The tendency to do that is always marked in our Eastern friends. They rely on this currency of private credit almost to the excia- sion of money 80 much so that, for reasons of their own, they come to regard sufficient money supply as a positive evil. Their reasons are obvious enough, but it is not the purpose to use them in argument here, when it is far more pertinent to illustrate from recent experience where this private currency always falls short. It shows it's worst weak nessess in emergency, because it always undergoes sudden and vio- lent contraction at the very time when It's elasticity should manifest itself in the direction of expansion. In ordinary times it serves the pur- poses and takes the place of very large amount of national currency of cash. In tunes of "stringency, when the standing credit of individ- uals is weakened there is necessari- ly a violent and immediate contrac- tion of this private currency, mak- ing the lack of sufficient public currency at once manifest in T way winch threatens a general collapse. And, coincidently with this, large sums of the public currency arc, from the same causes, withdrawn from circulation and locked up in strong boxes. Thus there is doub- le contraction with nothing to offset it. As long as our financial friends of the East go on doing everything possible to prevent sufficient sup ply of public currency for people who have no credit; as long as they attempt to make their private cur rency substantially the basis of busi- ness, they invite the violent rcac- tions which from time to time throw the shrewdest of them into state of alarm that occasionally shows all the symptoms of irresponsible lunacy.
