Some Business Men AT Lunch.

There are certain classes of business
men who never forget their manners un-
Ill they put on their hats to 20 out TO
lunch They are the pinks of perfection
in their own homes and their politeness
to ladies on the way down town is sim
ply excruciating They never fail to bid
their clerks courteous good morning"
but when they sit down to partake of
their midday meal they indulge in prac-
tees that would speedily relegate any of
their children to the seclusion of their
own rooms and diet of bread and
water if they were ever to commit such
breaches of etiquette at the home table
They pour their coffee into their sau-
GERS with the air of street arab. and
blow it in order TO hurry the cooling
process. They plant their elbows on
the table. and after a terrible onslaught
upon the viands their knives being
prominently brought forward as a means
Of conveyance, they push back their
chair. throw their napkin on the table,
secure toothpick and rush forth to be-
come once again the punctilious and
courteous man Of business. -Philadel-

Girls VIII he Girls.

At boarding school girls will do any
thing to see and speak with repre-
sentative of the sterner sex. especially If
it is forbidden to do so. A novel way OF
becoming acquainted with the boys, as
practiced in the school mentioned, is to
have some girl who is acquainted with
the boys make an appointment with them
at certain place ''out of bounds, or, in
other words. on forbidden grounds.

POULTRY AND GARDENING.
The Two Fit Together Like Roast Lamb
and Mint Sauce.

The Two Fit Together Like Roast Lamb
and Mint Sauce.
Along with the poultry raising every
one should run garden, for two rea-
sons: First, nearly half Of the feed for
the chickens in summer comes from the
garden; and second. the poultry manure
ought TO be sufficient fertilizer for such
garden on ordinary soil. These are
two items generally overlooked in poul-
try raising. Ii is cheaper 10 raise the
food in your own garden than TO buy It,
and over and above all of this you will
have nearly enough TO supply your own
table with fresh vegetables all through
the whole summer. The poultry needs
green leaves. green food, roots. berries
and seeds. and a great amount of all Of
these can be gathered for them in the
garden Where poultry is not kept
there is "A great deal of waste in the gar
den, for the green tops of vegetables,
half grown roots and pods are always
useless for the table The time spent in
cultivating the garden might legiti-
mately be put down as conscientious
work for the poultry. At the end Of the
year there would DO so much saving in
the cost of food
Then the outlay for the garden would
simply be for seeds, tools. labor and in
terest on the land The poultry manure

tilzing material for the sell The poultry
droppings should be gathered at least
weekly from the hen roost or the yard
and sprinkled over with fine dust. The
best plan is To take every barrel of this
mixture and dump it into quantity Of
muck gathered from some pond near by.
Mix the two up thoroughly, and a good
fertilizer is prepared both for spreading
over the ground and for dropping in the
hills and rows The poultry manure fur
nishes plenty of mineral and heating
elements. while the muck Is rich in nj

I said II In the meadow path.

The best things any mortal hath
Are those which every mortal shares.
The air we breathe. the sky, the breeze,
The light without us and within
Life, with its unlocked treasures,

The grass is softer to my tread,
For rest 1t yields unnumbered feet;
Sweeter to me the wild rose red.
Because she makes the whole world

Into your heavenly loneliness
Ye welcomed me. O solemn peaks!
And me in every guest you bless
Who reverently your mystery seeks.
And up the radiant peopled way
That opens into worlds unknown.

NO ONE TO BLAME.

The Coroner Holds No One Responsible
for the Deaths by tho Burning of the
National Surgical Institute at Indian
apolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb 90 Coroner
Manker has furnished the press with a
copy of his verdict in the case of the re-
cent Surgical institute fire. The verdict
is complete whitewash. 1t is very
voluminous and fills two columns of
nonpareil. 1t finds that the nine
teen victims of the institute met their
death by suffocation and not by burn
ing; that all might have escaped but
for their fright and excitement; that
adequate means of protection and
escape were provided; that the police,
fire department and employees of the
institution did their whole duty in
assisting the inmates to escape;
that the management did not
comply with the law requiring printed
notices of the location of the fire.
escapes and how to use them to be
posted, but it was held that "the ac-
quaintance and familiarity of inmates
with the construction of the building
probably obviated the necessity of
this" The conclusion of the coroner
is that the management furnished all
reasonable appliances for protection
and It is therefore held blameless.

The Senate Passes tho Bill Continuing In
Force for Ten Years the Chinese Exclu-
sion Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The United
States senate has passed the bill ex-
tending for ten years the operation of
the Chinese exclusion act.
The bill passed by the senate ex-
tending for ten years the operations of
the Chinese exclusion laws is substi-
tute for n similar measure introduced
by Senator Dolph (Ore.). The bill has
wider scope than Is indicated by
it's title, for, in addition to
reenacting the present exclusion
laws which are about to lapse. it
contains section intended to meet the
difficulty the treasury officials have
encountered in returning Chinese to
China through judicial decisions ad-
verse to their right to return them
further than to the country from
which they entered the United
States Under this construction of
the law the treasury returned
number of Chinese to Canada in
stead of to China, and they were soon
again smuggled across the line, which
it was impossible to guard at all times
and places. Another new section pro-
vides severe penalties for the return to
the United States of Chinese once sent
out of the country.

Deputy sher.R Collins started in pur.

Deputy Sher.f Collins started in pur-
suit Meanwhile the farmers along
the robbers line of retreat had also
turned out, fully armed, in pursuit.
The runaway was sighted about
miles south of Newark. The roads are
very bad and he had made very poor
speed. He abandoned his horse and
ran across lots to Benton's swamp.
But the swamp proved too full Of
water to be penetrated and the
fugitive took up his position behind
stone wall and faced his pursuers
After some parley he surrendered to
Deputy Sheriff Collins. He was taken
back to Lyons and lodged in jail He
gave the name of William Cross
said he was from New Mexico and
had been boarding in Syracuse for
some time He admitted he was the
man who attempted the train robbery
to Chief of Detectives Haydens, of this
city, who had been wired for. He is
believed to be the much wanted Oliver
Curtis Perry, who robbed Express Mes
senger Moore, near Utica, last fall.
The express messenger will not talk,
but the story of attempt at robbery, as
| far as it can be gathered, is this: Cross
| boarded the train when it pulled out
of Syracuse and climbed on top of the
express car. He was provided with
hooked rope. Fastening the rope in
the slight cornice of the roof on one
side of the car he let himself down onto
the other, and, resting his toes on the
ledge that runs across the car, he looked
in the glass of the side door and saw
the express messenger in front of one of
the safes, which was open, making up
his bills. He smashed the glass with
his revolver, covered the messenger and
shouted to him to hold up his hands,
Instead of doing so McInerny
reached for the signal cord with one
hand and for his revolver with
the other. A bullet smashed the
hand but not before the sig
nal had been given that aroused
the conductor. Then McInerny
fred on the robber and put a bullet
through his coat Then the robber
shot the messenger twice, once in the
right leg and once in the left leg He
climbed into the car and 6esper.
ate struggle took place which did
not end until the train was stopped for
the first time, near Weedsport. 1t is
evident that the robber had climbed
out on the top of the cars and remained
there until the stop at Lyons. So far
Us can be learned the robber secured
absolutely nothing.
