TOMMY KEENANS SAD FATE
The Crippled NewsbOy Dies
Alone and Unattended i'm a
HOyel-He Had Only One
Friend i'm the World.

New York CITY, Jan. 3.-ThOmas
Keenan, died in Brooklyn yesterday
morning. His death was in keeping
with his life. The world had lit {
of happiness for him for he WIS a
cripple, and poverty was his const nj
companion. He lived in a bowel, No.
124 First street, Brooklyn. E. ID.
He died there surrounded by the
evidence of his misery. The bare
floor was his bed and rags his only
covering. Here, while hundreds OF
light hearted people passed the door,
happy in the prospect of glad New
Year, death claimed him.
Special Policeman Tucker opened
the dor to- see if ''Tommy" wante,
anything, and he found his dead BODY
Tommy Keenan, was a newsboy,
and sod papers at Bedford avert lie
and Grand street. He was a cripple,
but bright and cheerful. Because OF
his good nature and also because OF
his infirrnity. he was we'll patronized.
Among those particularly attracted
to the crippled newsboy was SPECIAL
Policeman Tucker. of the Bedford
avenue STATEN. He liked the lad,
noticed his poor health and inquired
into his condition. Keenan, told him
that he lived alone, and Of his hard
struggle to keep body and soul
together. In addition TO being a
cripple, he was afflicted with con-
sumption.
One day, a few weeks ago. Tom y
was missed from his usual stand. Amt
then when another day and stlfi
another came and went and he did
not appear, Tucker became anxious,
and hunted up the house where
Tommy "lived." He found him sick
and destitute. The policeman saw
that he received nourishmeat and got
about again.
Soon Tommy, weaker than ever,
but cheerful, nevertheless, was about
sgain selling his papers aud hobbling
to his wretcaed home when his stock
was sold. A day or two ago he
disappeared again, and Tucker,
knowing the trouble, reported the
case to the police station. He thought
the newsboy should be removed to a
hospital, and Sergeant Hsrny instruct
ed Tucker to ask Keenan, if he wished
to go to sneh an Institution. When
the policeman reached Tommy's room
the boy was dead.
Keenan, had died a'one. Not a
soul wss there to minister to his
wants. Physicians there were in plenty,
bus not one was called in to see the
sick boy. There were scores of people
in the Immediate neighborhood, who
would have relieved his sufferings il
they had but known. He was dead
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning wnen
Tucker found him. Word was sent
Coroner Lindsay.
The body was sent to the mOrgue,
and an autopsy will be made to legally
establish the fact that death was due
to consumption. The burial will be
in the Potter's Field, unless the char.
itabIy inclined come forward TO insure
interment in recognized christian
cemetery.
Keenan's father and mOtser are
dead. 1t il believed that he had not
a relative In the. world.

40, SO, 120, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
fEent OF interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an

GRATING GRAPEvINEs.

The opinions and practices Of vine
yardists vary greatly in regard to the
best way as we'll as the best time for
grating the grape. Some propagators
have excellent success in grating on
roots below the surface of the ground in
December, or before the ground freezes
in the fall, protecting the cions by heap
ing soil over them. Others have tried
fall grating and failed. The most COM
mon practice among vineyardists is to
graft vines late in spring or after the
leaves begin to expand, using dormant
wood for cions, or that which has been
retarded by storing in a cool cellar. The
cions OF canes to be used for that purpose
are cut in winter, tied in small bundles,
and packed in moist sand, moss, Or tan
bark, then stored in cool place. When
the time arrives for use they are taken
and washed clean with cold water and
cut up into the lengths desired.
The mode called crown grating is the
one usually employed; that is, inserting
the cion into the crown of the old stock,
which is cut off close to or just below the
surface of the ground. The cion should
be tied in place with strips of Eastwood
bark, and the soil banked about it, leav-
ing the uppermost bud only exposed.
No wax is used in grating the grape by
this mode, as the soil drawn around the
cion is better and more natural pro-
ection than grating wax.-Neao York

A Novel Owl Trap.

Uncle Tatum Fullilove, of De Soto
parish, La, has in his yard, near his
poultry house, a rather novel but effect
ual owl trap. 1t is made as follows:
An old scythe blade is procured, two
holes drilled about four inches from the
butt, and the blade then ground very
sharp The blade is then securely spiked
or screwed to the end of a good, stout
pole some twenty or more feet long, and
the base of the pole set securely in the
ground. The blade should be secured to
the pole so as to stand at an angle of
about forty-fve degrees.
When the owl lights upon it to take
observations Gas he is almost sure to do),
he slides gradually down toward the top
of the pole, the sharp blade cutting his
toes meanwhile. When the pain is felt
he naturally becomes alarmed, and spreads
his wings to fly. In the effort he makes
to rise, a still deeper cut is inflicted upon
the tendons Of his feet, and he departs
either hopeless cripple or an entirely
disabled owl, whose occupation as a
poultry thief is at an end.
The same trap may often serve to dis
able hawks, as they, like owls usually
select some high perch from which to
take observations before making an at
tack.-Furnn and FireSide

BERRY GROWING.

The grower of such perishable articles
as berries is subject to nervous strain
while the season last, and should, in the
nature of things, be better remunerared
than the stolid laborer or the producer
of nonperishable products. Some fruit
growers are so happily situated that they
can employ women as pickers, and then
there is no need Of foreman or tickets,
as each picker can keep her own &C
counts, and pick III separate crates, sub
ject to inspection at noon OF night.
The trouble with children is generally
a lack Of mature judgment, but some are
tricky and dishonest. Most every ex-
tensiye fruit grower is subject to strikes
when the picking gets poor, and l have
found It best TO have a contract with
their parents, subject to penalty if
broken. This is enforced by withhold
inc pay until the close of the season,
with forfeiture of 4 portion if contract
is broken.
once visited large berry growing
firm, near Philadelphia, who had erected
cheap two-story barrack Of twelve
rooms, where were housed their sixty
pickers. They cooked for themselves
on an old stove in the open air, and the
escape from the hot city to the open
fields and profitable employment was a
rare picnic to them ick's MagGzine.

THE ASH PLANTS.

In some parts of plants there is but
very little ash, while others may contain
large per cent. This ash is a complex
compound containing a dozen or more
substances. There are two classes of
ash ingredients, namely: the essential
and the non essential OF accidental
They all come from the soil, and some of
the essential ingredients Of the ash are
required in larger quantities by the plant
than others. The non-esscntial sub
stances obtain entrance because dissolved
in the soil water, and the plant has no
power Of excluding them. The follow
ing are the essential ash constituents
potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and
phosphorus. These clements may enter
united with acids of various kinds, or
the last acting as an acid may, for ex-
ample, be in union with the lime
(calcium) as phosphate of lime. The
potassium may be united with sulphuric
acid, and called sulphate Of potash.
Muriate of potash is a common form in
which potash is applied to the soil, it be-
ing soluble and quickly taken up by the
plant Water, which is the solvent for
them all, makes up a very large part of
every growing plant, and IS the sub
stance from which oxygen and hydrogen
are obtained for making the plant tissues
