Ingenious French Swindlers.

An amusing story was told recently
of a couple of ingenious swindlers whose
career was nipped in the bud by a mat
ter-ot-fact policeman, who must be
painfully devoid of the sense of humor.
One of this pair of rascals jumped into
the Seine and pretended to be drowning;
the other took a header after him and
brought him to shore in safety. a SYM
pathetic crowd gathered around the
would-be suicide, and moved by hi.
piteous story, his savior emptied his
dripping pockets of their silver. The
crowd sighed and wept to see such
goodness, and when the hat was sent
round quite a nice little sum was
gathered. Unfortunately for themselves
the two men were followed by an official
Of the law, who found that it was a
put-up-job," and ran them in. The
trick is ingenious, but it has not the
merit of novelty. Every one in the
sporting world remembers how similar
"plant" was arranged by two famous
swimmers-the johnson brothers-one
Of whom fell off London bridge to be
rescued by his lame brother, who
CHANGED to be on a passenger steamer
in the guise of parson of the church
of England. Their trick was done for
a lark-and an advertisement which
they got and thoroughly deserved for
their pains and pluck.

The Miseries Of Some Rich Men.

A woman writes to the Philadelphia
Press from Long Branch: "One of the
saddest sights in the world next to
real poverty or distress is the sight of
a man who has acquired boundless
wealth and lost his happiness and his
capacity to enjoy what money secures.
Such cases are by no means rare.
They are very common. saw man
to-day whose income is believed to be
about 81 900 a week, whose whole day
was spoiled because q cabman over
charged him 81 for short ride. OF
course the millionaire knew that he
could not possibly spend his income,
but, nevertheless, the idea of losing a
dollar, or being defrauded out of it,
of getting nothing in return for it, was
almost agony to him. Many a man in
making q great fortune completely
loses the power of enjoying it. This
is one of the worlds compensations.
The happiness of sound sleep and a
good digestion is often enjoyed by
man with an empty purse, while the
millionaire epicure has neither painless
digestion by day nor healthy rest by
uight."

The Story OF a Pebble.

Sir Francis Doyle tells an interesting
story about pebble, which L think you
will like to hear. Mrs. Brooke, re-
lation of his, lived in a house on the
banks of beautiful Loeb Earn, in
Perthshire. As pearls, more or less
valuable, were often found there, Mrs.
Brooke began collecting them, and the
villagers children used to take to her
those which they picked up, receiving
a shilling or two in exchange. One
day, little girl, who had come from
some considerable distance, called and
offered her a pebble, but as Mrs
Brooke thought it useless, she refused
to buy it. Presently her brother asked
her to change her mind, for, he said,
the lassie had had ga very long walk,
and was crying bitterly at having to go
home empty-handed."
So Mrs. Brooke kindly told him to
take the stone, and give the BARN what
she wanted for 1t. A few weeks later,
friend, who had travelled much, and
knew South America well, viewed the
pebble with great interest, and at
length remarked that if lie had been
in Brazil and had seen the stone there
he would have felt sure that it was a
diamond. The stone was at once sent
toa skilled jeweller, and he reported
that the travellers opinion was right,
and very soon the Loeb Earn pebble
was set in one of Mrs. Brooke's dia-
mond rings. Unfortunately, no trace
could be found of the little girl, and SO
she was not able 20 share the further
reward that would have been bestowed
upon her success.

Rov the Ameer Punished an
Alarmist.

Some strange stories have been told
of the way in which Abdurrah-
man lords it over bis people. Not long
ago. we are told, the Ameer was sitting
In durbar discussing public affairs.
The ssHome'' department had gone
through their work. Orders had been
issued to release certain persons from
the sorrows of existence, when the dur
bar suddenly dashed into greater things,
audb egan to talk about the English
and the Russians. A man who had
lately been introduced at Court, and
was not well acquainted with his sover-
eign's ways, remarked, Lord of the
earth, let people say what they like, but
this humble one has been scanning the
political horizon with far-reaching eyes,
and the Russians are coming" The
lord of the earth smiled a sweet smile
some of the old courtiers who knew
that smile also smiled and, turning
upon him with the "far-reaching eyes"
said, bright jewel of our durbar, and
sun of our understanding, art thou sure
of this?' 1.-The lord of the earth is
omniscient, and knows everything, re-
piled he. "Well, to be sure, we do see
things and know one or two things, but
we are old now. Moreover, your tree
obstructs our viewl However, thou art
young; go thou, therefore, climb the
rec, watch the cursed Muscovite's
movements, and when he is very close
upon us come and inform us. The tree
is high, so that thou shalt be enabled to
see long way off," Forthwith the
man was led to the tree, and made to
climb to the topmost branches. To
keep up his courage, If he grew weary
of his post, a guard with bayonets fixed
was told off to remain below. 1t is
said the young man felt considerably
elevated by his masters humor, and
felt very exhilarated at first; but three
days contemplation of the beauties Of
nature, even from such a commanding
position, is apt to tire one, and so he
fell, They say he got hurt and died.
No one dares to raise alarms in Cabul
now.

Mystery Solved and Patrim0ny Won.
Over thirty-three years ago Washing

was the missing Washington Tucker.
He had come to that section, married,
lost his second wife, by whom he had
i've children. He then married again.
About year after this marriage he
disappeared. A year later, in clear

man were found, which, by some
fragments of clothing, were identified
As those of Washington Tucker. There
were five heirs by the second marriage

MANY a man has broken his back
and lost his heart on poor farm which
he has suffered to run down by bad
management. He has spread his labor
and capital over 100 acres, when by
combining himself to twenty-five or
thirty he might have become happy
and rich. The way to repair such an
error is to begin with one field and get
that into good condition, and let the
rest lie, and so go on through the farm.
One rich field will then make it easy to
enrich another or two; and while the
beginning is slow, it Is down hill work,
and as the end is nearly reached pro-
gress is fast and easy;

IT Is important to distinguish In
plants the difference between what may
be termed the vegetative and reproduce
tive stages in plants, says Mr.. Thomas
Meeham. If branch on an unfruitful
tree be ''ringed, =" or in some other way
injured, that branch is at once brought
to the frult-bearng or reproductive
condition. So far there Is an antagon-
ism between the vegetative and repro
ductive stages. When the reproduc-
tive stage is reached there is another
subdivision. The part to which nutri-
tion most freely flows produces chiefly
female flowers, while the part to which
nutrition flows less freely yields chiefly
male flowers. Any one can see this
who examines a larch, spruce or
pine,

RAISE A CALF.-A great many
people who should raise a calf or two
every year are prevented from doing
so because they don't know how. Here
is one way and an easy one: Give new
milk warm from the cow for the first
week, then begin to add skim milk a
little at a time, heating 1t little
warmer than new milk and add table,
spoonful each of ground oats and corn
meal to the mess. If the calf scours
use wheat -four instead Of corn meal
for two or three feelings. At the end
of three weeks the new milk will be
entirely replaced by the skim milk, and
the grain ration gradually increased
until pint day is reached. 1t Is
best to feed the calf three times day,
and at first it may be fed Oftener, but
at no time give more than four quarts
Of milk until the calf Is a month old.
1t is good plan to have a broad
bottomed trough fixed so it cannot be
upset in which to pour the calf's food,
and give it lick of bran or meal in
the dry state. Spread such food well
over the bottom of the box, and mix
some nice fine clover hay with it. If
the calf scOurs give it scorched chopped
wheat in its milk, and only little at
time, and it will soon stop securing.
Keep the young things clean; handle
and foudle them, treat them kindly
and gently and you will be pleased
with the result.
