for the success of the righteous.
At the very foot of the altar fought
the band of buccaneers and the follow
ers OF Francisco. the former slowly
giving way foot by foot as they were
sorely pressed by the soldiers.
At length their leader, Luigi, fell
and the victory was complete. One
only of the pirates band escaped to
carry the news to his companions on
board the vessel which had brought
them and the captive maiden from
Acapulco.
Though fierce had been the combat,
yet it was not particularly sanguinary,
for though many deep wounds had
been received no lives were sacrificed.

who was of the party, were both Sore
ly injured, but, nevertheless, the sol
diers bound them firnly with their
belts, and when the morning broke the
troopers started for Acapulco, each
with n captive pirate walking beside
his horse, secured to the saddle-bow.
When the little band passed in
through the grim sally port of Fort
Diego there was great re joicing, that is
with the soldiers and our friends, but
not among the buccaneers, for these viii
lains were destined to never again
emerge from the interior of the frown-
ing battlements; they, alike chief and
subaltern, expiated their crimes upon
the gall ows.
Padre Garcia had a double duty t.
perform during his visit 70 the citadel,
for beside the christening of the com
mandant's youthful heir, he was called
upon to join Francisco Alvarez and the
lovely Teresa in marriage.

gained its former prestige, and III

FARM NOTES.

II trees are To be set out In the
spt.ng, much of the work OF properly
preparing the soil can be done during
the winter.
A sled will be found convenient in
hauling out manure, wood and rails
during the winter, and In the fields es-
pecially can often be used where 1t
would be difficult II not impossible, TO
use the wagon.
II every general farmer, in any dis
triet within reasonable distance OF u
n town or railroad, would spend as
much time, labor and cash on 200 fowls
as he does on ten acres of corn, the ne
profit off the poultry would be ut leas
twice as great as from the corn.
The requisites for success with smais
fruits are, n line of fruits for their own
sake, soil well adapted to their
growth, a convenient market, an avail
able supply OF extra help when needed
plnuting no more than can be thor
oughly cultivated and readily mar
keted.
Common salt should never be used in
salting butter, as the impurities which
nre contained in such salt have ten
dencv TO make the butter spoil Salt
prepared especially for the dairy costs
n little more, but it more than pays for
itself in the difference 1t makes in the
quality of the butter.
The ideal farmer remembers that
old saving: "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy. while all play
and no work makes him mere toys
therefore, while he trains his children
To diligence, industry and thorough
ness, he gives them liberal opportuni-
ties to indulge wisely in harmless
aports. recreation and amusements.

times is In always having something to
sell. and this something, whatever II

HOW PARIS is KEPT CLEAN.

People who Gather Up the Refuse and
Turn It tn Account.
One of the most curious trades in
Paris, and one Of the most characteris-
tie, is that OF the chiifonniers, or rag
pickers Their trade has already suf-
fcred considerably from the introduc-
ton of dust bins, regularly emptied
every morning by carts which go round
for the purpose; but, notwithstanding
police regulations, good deal of rub
bsh is still thrown into the street, and
the ''chiffonnier" may be seen at late
hours of the night with his basket ON his
back, his lantern and the long hook
with which he turns over the refuse.
The ''ehffoniers" state that at present
they cannot earn more than fifteen or
twenty sous day beyond their food,
which they pick mp thus, or which is
given them. They will turn any refuse
to account and make something out of

which they might earn five or six sous

price OF rags would then rise. All the
cotton and linen rags of good quality
are, IL is said, kept for the En-
plish market, the French retaining
only what is inferior. The woolen
rags are uuraveed and carded
aud made into cheap goods; the red
trousers OF the French army, for in
stance, are thus turned into caps, which
are sold by hundreds of thousands In
Asia Minor. Silk rags, treated in the
same manner, are used for the padding
of various articles. Bottles of all
kinds are highly appreciated, but ever
bits OF glass are useful, being ground
up into dust for glass paper. Many
bottles and china pots are bought from
the "chiffonniers" TO be used foi
fraudulent limitations. Old playbills ol
advertisements are pounded up fol
pasteboard. Bits of cigars are Il grea
