A THRIFTY OLD LADY,
She Makes a Fortune by Collecting STUFF
That Was Thrown Away.

One comes across some queer folks
in New York city, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. The queerest | have seen this
six months is an old lady who has laid
up very comfortable sum for the sup.
port of her old age by saving every
thing. She found herself twenty years
ago without a penny. Happily wealthy
relatives gave her permission to come
and occupy room on the top floor Of
their big house, but this did not occur
until she had passed through a very
terrible six months, in which she had
kept off cold and starvation with almost
intinitesimal defenses. Suddenly trans
ferred to the lavish luxury of a rich
mans home, she was shocked by what
seemed to her the most terrible waste
Before very long her resolution was
formed. She had very nearly persisted
for want of much less than these PEG.
pie wasted every month in the wear
and she determined that she would
catch up and store the crumbs that fell
unnoticed from the rich mans table.
The garnet was vacant, and the servants
rarely went there, the family never.
This she used as her storehouse. Every
one was fully occupied with their own
full lives and paid little heed to her, so
that she carried on her system of say
ing quite unnoticed. Nothing in that
house for twenty years was wasted.
Every old match box, empty bottle,
cork, bit of string, scrap of paper, hair
combings, rags, clippings, old spools.
basting threads, outworn garments, old
pens, WORKOUT sponges, faded ribbons
and tattered gloves, every broken piece
of china, empty envelopes, torn letters,
old newspapers, circulars, lost pins,
and hairpins, were faithfully gathered
up and stored in long bags hung from
the garnet rafters. She gathered up
the children's broken toys. the family's
old shoes and hats. undergarments,
handkerchiefs, frayed collars, empty
bonbon boxes. cast-otf Christmas cards,
the wire from their faded bouquets,
ever single thing that was of no more
use to them, and each article was care
fully stored during the winter.
When summer came the spinster
always begged to be allowed to remain
in the house and look after it, and as
soon as the family had departed she
sorted and arranged her winter store
and began to look for purchasers of it.
She found just where she could dispose
of her wares to the best advantage.
The stock of such things in big house,
hold mounts up every six months to
something truly astonishing, and her
summer was busy one in the arrang-
ing and selling of the wares. All this
money she put in the bank. and at the
end of ten years it had reached quite
figure. Ten years ago the land in the
upper part of New York sold for a
much lower figure than it does now,
and she invested hers there in proper
ty that was improved to certain ex-
tent, sufficient rent being paid for it to
keep even with her taxes and interest.
In the last three years property there
has risen and the old lady took advant-
age of the boom last autumn and sold
out. Then she took all the receipted

"Wish He WOuldn't!"

''Oh, [ wish he wouldn't!' said a dear
girl, as she opened the box and for one
long moment of pure delight drank in
the exquisite beauty and perfume of
the great cluster of velvety Jacks"
They're lovely and so is he, but
do wish he wouldn'tn' she repeated as
she lifted out the great bunch and
thrust them with the most elaborate
and artistic carelessness into a great
cut glass rose bowl.
why shouldn't he, if he wants TOP"
asked her listener.
She flushed a little, but answered
bravely: Because he can't afford it'
You see." she went on hurriedly, Il
know the dear fellow cares for me-
know it just as well as if he had told
me so, and well, | wouldn't feel dis
tressed over this if You see young
men are so foolish about these things
A flower seems to them the very apo
theosis of a gift to a girl and so it
would be if we lived in Already and
roses were to be had for the plucking.
But we don't; we live in New York,
where every bud costs a big round dol
lar and the poetry of flower-giving re-
solves itself into the decided prose of
earning the dollar to pay for them.
Il know Toms salary, of course, but
l know it isn't ten thousand a year, and
here's $25 worth of Jacks, | am sure.
If he only would be content with less!
But just because | am one of the girls
whose fathers can buy them a hundred
Jacks every day in the season if they
want them, he thinks he must do no less.
But he's so foolish! | am sure | should

of violets and I'm not sure but would
admire him the more for his independ-
ence in daring to send themn

Wild Horses Have Few Diseases,

The horse is a hardy animal. In state
of nature he is little subject to disease
and even bears unnatural food. unnatural
confinement. cruel overdriving, poisonous
air and poisonous drugs to an extent that
no other equally sensitive animal would
do. The patient OK would bear more in
action and confinement. and the omniver-
ons pig would bear more extremes in his
food but no other animal would bear
the same amount of overdriving. that is so
commonly and so cruely inflicted upon the
horse. Each of the many abuses to which
he Is subjected in domestication. has pro-
duced some corresponding disorder. until
the cata)og of his diseases is almost as
long and painful as that of the human
family, and the average life of the domes-
ticated horse is less than one-half of that
of the wild one.

The Power of Truth.

It is related of Persian mother, on
giving her son forty pieces Of silver as
his portion, that she made him VOW
never to tell lie, and said:
go, my son, | consign thee TO God;
and we shall not meet again till the
day of Judgment
THE youth went away, and the
party he travelled with were assaulted
by robbers. One fellow asked the boy
what he had, and he answered with
candor that surprised his questioner:
Forty dinars are sewed up in my
garments"
The robber laughed, thinking the
boy jesting. Another asked the same
question and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him and asked
him what he had. The boy replied:
Il have told two of your people al
ready that have 40 dinars sewed up in
my clothes"
The chief ordered his clothes to be
ripped open, and the money was found.
"And how came you to do this?''
Because, "'replied the boy, Il would
not be false to my mother, whom L
solemnly promised never to tell a lie."
Child, said the chief, ''art thou SO
mindful of thy mother while l am in
sensible, at my age, of the duty | owe
to God? Give me thy hand, that | may
swear repentance on it."
He did so and his followers were
struck with the scene.
You have been our leader in guilt, :"
they said to the chief; ''be the same in
the path of virtue"
And, taking the boys hand, they
swore repentance on 1t. Boys, speak
only that which is true. You may do
much good by it if you never lead
band of robbers to Cod and honesty.

The Secret of a Long Life.

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth, says the
L0djes' Home Journal. She seems con-
densed sweetness and grace. You Won
der how it is her life has been a long
and happy one. Here are some of the
reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She understood the art of enjoy
ment.
She kept her nerves well in hand,
and inflicted them on TO one.
She believed in the goodness of her
own daughters and in that of her neigh
bOrs.
She cultivated a good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant words.
She did not expect too much from
her friends
She made whatever work came to her
congenial
She retained her illusions and did
not believe that all the world was
wicked and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition, and
made the best of everything.
She did whatever came to her cheer
fully and well.
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by; and, now that old age has
come to her and there is a halo of
white hair about her head she is loved
and considered.
This is the secret of long Iite and a
happy one,

bills for the stuff she had sold-every
one of which she had kept-to the head
of the family and said: Il have vent
ured to take all that you have thrown
away for twenty years, and here is the
result. This sum has been more than
doubled by prudent investment, and
now / have an income of 81, 500 year.
l thank you deeply for all your good
ness and generosity. l have taken a
little cottage in a country town, near
New York, and, thanks to the chance l
had here. | shall be able to spend the
balance of my life in comfort and ease"
And she went, leaving the rich banker
contemplating in amazement the sum
of money he and his family had thrown
away in twenty years. Since her de-
parture the household complain that
they suddenly find the house running
over with outworn and useless trash
that they can not get rid of.

Railroad Travel in Texas.

| asked Maj. Martin if it were true
that he is down on the Northern rail-
roads,"
Yes" be said, 1.-THE railroads aren't
near so accommodating in this part of
the country as they are down in Texas.
[ have known the conductor of Texas
train to stop to allow lady to gather
a bunch of wild-flowers that had ex-
cited her fancy, and if your hat were
to blow out of the window they would
stop for you or 90 back SO you could
pick it up. But the soulless Northern
corporations would have let you lose
the article in which you had invested
your hard-earned savings. l remember
one evening that woman asked the
conductor of a train in my State to stay
at certain place all night, as she
wanted TO spend that much time with
some friends, and she told the con-
ductor that if he didn't oblige her she
would have to wait twenty-four hours
for train. The conductor said he
hated to be disobliging to lady, but
he didn't like to delay the other passen-
gers. Finally he agreed to talk it over
with them, and we decided that if her
friends would give rs lodging and
breakfast we wouldn't mind an extra
day spent on the way. The train
waited half an hour while she got off
and consulted with her friends, aud
just as we were about to leave the
place she came and told us that they
had agreed to the terms. The fires in
the engine were banked and the train
left on the track. The next morning,
after a comfortable night spent in the
farmhouse, we left the place twelve
hours late. Talk about accommo-
dating railroads! The Pennsylvania
railroad or that Missouri line that
treated me so badly wouldn't have done
that for yOu."- Washi1aQtOn Letter,

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
DESIDERIUM.
EDMUND w. GOSSE.

Ait there forever, dear and, lean
In marble as in fieeting flesh,
Above the tall gray reeds that screen
The river when the breeze Is Iresh;
Forever let the morning light
Stream down that forehead broad and white,
And round that cheek for my delight.
Hold, Time, little while thy glass,
And Youth fold up those peacock wings!
More rapture fills the years that pass
. Than any hope the future brings;
Some for tomorrow rashly pray,
And some desire TO hold to-day,
But | am sick for yesterday.
Since yesterday the hills were blue
That shall be gray forever more,
And the fair sunset was shot through
With color never seen before.
Tyrannic love smiled yesterday,
And lost the terrors of his sway,
But is god again to-day.
All who will give Us back the past?
All VICE. that youth should live to be
Like this swift Thames that speeds so fast,
And is so fain to find the sea-
That leaves this maze of shadow and sleep,
These creeks down which blown blossoms CREEP
For breakers of the homeless deep.
Then, sit forever, dear, in stone,
AS when you turned with half a smile,
And will haunt this iset lone,
And with a dream my tears beguile;
And in my reverie forget
That stars and suns we're made to set,
That love grows old or eyes are wet.

Barley Hay in California.

W. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station, writes to the Rural New
Yorker: spent last summer in Southern
California, reaching there the last of Nav.
At the time ofmy arrival the barley crop
had all been harvested for hay, while part
of thai intended for grain was still stand
ing. As the stacks of barley hay were in
the fields, had good opportunity of noting
the quality of the hay, and observing how
it was used by the farmers. For making
barley hay sack containing 100 to 10
pounds of barley is sown per acre, upon
freshly prepared ground, during the win
ter. When maturing, but before the
grains are ripe, the barley is cut with a

WELSH RABBIT.

Slice cooking cheese with bread crumbs,
into clean pan with very little water
or beer, and a little pepper; stir it over the
fire till melted, then pour it on to some
neatly trimmed slices of toast; give it one
browning with a salamander or shovel;
and serve quickly. Some people add
mustard to the cheese while melting: and
if the latter is very dry, little butter
This dish requires to be served at once, as
directly it cools it gets stringy and indi-
gestible. Where Welsh rabbit is liked, it
is usually served in cheese toaster, and
kept at boiling point either with hot water
round the dish or in a cnafng-fsh. Some
men like to make it in a cnafng-fsh on
the supper table-for men are better cooks
in this, frequently, than women are.

Trotting Over a Bridge.

The Brooklyn bridge is, perhaps, the
only suspension bridge in the world
over which horses are allowed to trot.
There is an old theory that the trot-
ting OF horse, or the sound of music,
or the measured tread of soldiers
marching will cause oscillation and
weaken, if not destroy, the strongest
bridge.

will increase the whiteness and help the
