Home Made.

1t is strange that men, whose business
il is to make bread and sell 1t, produce
goods that are a distressing failure, says
ii writer in GOOD HouS, k,tpiRg. \ car
penter viii build Il house and do il well,
printer will give the eye a feast, aud
the mechanic will construct perfect
engine; but when a man becomes baker,
his mission is to atiiict every one who
cannot have domestic bread.
The slow minded baker at last put out
the sign of home made bread" and
some Boston bakers now have home
made cake" The cakes are made by
women at home, WHO prefer this work to
sewing and other possible occupations
that bring in little money.
What feelings and rememhrances arise
as one passes by these home made
artielesl He wonders if that cooky with
taste as his mother did-the ones that
he always found in a certain place on
the third shelf from the top. How good
they tasted, When he left his game of
ball, or an ardent play upon the ice, and
turned homeward, what expectations of
the moment that should find his hands
full of those cookies. and his hungry
palate delighted with their taste, No
once could make them as his mother
did. The neighbors boys discovered
this, and came in for the gift of one as
occasion allowed.
Then the boys from the boarding.
school near by, who used to play with
him. had some relief from their mcagre
fare, as they took refuge III his house
on a rainy day to make kites, and
munched those cookies. There was
only one neighbor who rivalcd his
mother, and her boy. his playmate,
always seemed to have the odor of fresh
baked cookies in his clothing.
There is nothing like the home
made" bread and cake, and bakers may
find the words taking label, but at the
best only a counterfeit.

were torn from their homes, immured in
| prison, and hanged. Some wretched
creature whispered they were guilty of
! witchcraft; the story was repeated until
the authorities were compelled TO take
cognizance of the circumstances. 4 trial
or hearings followed, which in these DAYS
would be termed farce; those charged
with witchcraft were returned to prison
confined there many months, and some
were hanged.
] he time was ripe for accusations of
this nature when the people of Salem
learned that John Winslow's horse and
sheep were He'd in the open field In
st ntly the tongue of rumor ascribed
this act of unparalleled barblrty to
witches. The rumor spread rap dly
hundred tongues were wagging at the
same time.
There were no detectives in those DAVIS
OF simplicity and severe living; no news
paper reporters assisting Justice and
competing for the latest news. The as
sumption that the horses throat, even if
cut by mortal hands, WAS evidence of The
presence of witches, was not openly
QUESTION: |, and upon this assumption
the community rested and based all fu-
tire action.
The public temper was in this condi-
ton when the Marsh il of Salem encoun-
tered Giles Ellis
This S a strange affair of Master
Winslow's, said Samuel Hobbs.
No stranger than many other things,
Giles answered. He looked meaningly at
the Marshal.
You speak vaguely. Is there aught l
should know in my opacity
NO, 10, Master Hobbs. / make no
charges. Far from it. You will have
plenty of work to your hands without
any of my adding. But l hear strange
rumors concerning the Lees.
The Marshal looked grave. The Lees.
Then I. for one, speaking as man, say
it is time gossips gave their tongues rest.

John Lee. l know no drawer, no better
citizen or friend than John Lee. Why,
was it not his hand save1 my life when
the Indian had me at his mercy? No, no.
You will 90 far yet find no man in Mas

opposes the piking method of road
making, and advocates a smooth, level
surface, with all the vegetable matter

is the great enemy OF good roads, and
the first thing to do in making IA good
road Is 10 secure thorough and rapid
drainage, not hy surface bitches. hut by

bed becomes practical thing. and the
destructive washing incident to excess

What is 4 fire? is the question which

to decide. The Countess titIjimcs had
had all her effects insured by the Union

francs. In the list of Jewels covered lay
the policy WAS Il pair of pearl earrings
valued at lS.oco francs and insured for

the countess Knocked the earrings acct
dcntally from tflc m#mtcI piece into the
open fire. Despite her strenuous ci-
forts with shovel and ton@s the Jewels
were destroyed. She recovered the
gold, valued 1T 60 francs and demanded
from the company o,I4U francs indcmnI-
ty for the loss of the pearls. The COM
pany refused To pay 4 cent ON the
ground that IN ordinary crate fire was
not the kind ota fire contemplate iHthc
insurance policy. The countess appealed
to the courts and got Il decision in ilcr fa-
vor. The judge held that IAN insur-

Leaving out of cons ide ration the ques-
ton of blowing sod in the fail, if it is
plowed IN the spring 1t is best done as
soon as the ground is III good condit on.
Sod ground can be plowed earlier than
fallow, stubble or corn-stalk ground,
and the sod will have none too long to
partially decompose before the corn is
planted.
y good pillow for stubble or fallow
land Is one that moves the furrow slice
with considerable force breaking 1t up;
but such a pillow Is not a fit one for sod
ground, Tor it will leave parts of the
furrow- slice lying with the grass up,
and other parts standing Oh edge. The
harrow wlllthen leave many pieces with
the grass up, to grow again. The best
pillow for sod Is one that turns the fur
row-slicc completely upside down, and
no more, without breaking it. Then the
plowed ground can be fined without
bringing grass to the surface to grow
again.
For the first work Oh the rlowed
