Bound to Be Good.

Not long ago there lived in Pennsyl-
vania an old lady who was celebrated
for having famous breed of turkeys.
On one occasion she sold one of these
to gentleman named Brown. When
cooked and served up al table it was
found to be 80 tough as to be quite un-
eatable. Meeting the old woman a
short time afterward Mr.. Brown said to
her:
"What did you mean by selling your
turkey to mea"
"What was wrong about it2'
alt wasn't good at all" said the gem
tleman.

prised to find that it took the train over

impression as to the Strip is that it is
narrow neck of land only few miles
across, reserved as highway or outlet
for the Cherokees. As matter OF fact,
the Strip is eighty miles across, and IL
larger in area than some of the States OF
the Union. The eighty miles is covered
with the best quality of fine blue grass

parts of Texas it is to be duplicated

Curious Material Used by Florists.

An uncommonly interesting and valu'
able material, familiar to the florist,
though little known to others, is
"raphia," fibre made from the inner
bark of a japanese tree, and used in
long plalts like horsehair, is light
brownish yellow in color, and when
twisted makes light, strong twine.
Large quantities of raphia are imported
for the use of florists and gardeners. 1t
is found cheaper than manufactured
twine, and, by reason of its pliancy aud
softness, is more suitable to the use to
which it is put.-Picayune,

Two.YnAR-oLD HENS FOR BREEDERS.

There is no doubt but two-year-old
hens are preferable to yearling pullets for
breeding purposes, as the eggs OF the
hens are larger. The chicks coming
from hens eggs are likely to be stronger
and more apt to live. But hens two or
three years old will not lay SO great a
number of eggs as will pullets in the first
twelve months after they commence to
lay. If, however, one has choice lot
of we'll developed pullets and mated with
a vigorous two year-old cock, do not fear
to set the eggs from them, but do not
use the earliest litters, as they are not
likely to give you as strong chicks at the
later ones.
The best laying hens, all things con-
sidered, are those one year old-fowls
that were hatched the previous season in
March or April-consequently the best
plan for all fowl breeders is to raise
chickens every season to be the layers oil
the next year, and to kill the old stock
regularly every fall before moulting or
as soon as they cease to lay.
Among our foremost breeders the mat
ing of vigorous twelve months old pull
lets to good cock in his full second
year has given as good chicks on the
average as the mating of two-year-old
hens to young cock. One thing that
may be depended on as rule, the most
reliable breeding birds that can be mated
together as to age are those of one sex
or the other that are year the oldest.
1t is only through repeated experiments
that the breeder can be able to select the
best pointed and finest specimens for
mating, and when this is accomplished
the most satisfactory results will gen.
orally follow.-Connecticut Farmer.

Expert Egg Handlers.

In fall weather the commission dealers
in large cities handle thousands of dozens
of eggs. These large quantities are in
spected by expert men, who pass the
eggs under the tester; the condition OF
each egg is noted; and they are sorted
into several classes, depending upon
their condition. 1t is astonishing how
quickly the eyes of such experts be-
come trained in detecting the quality o!
sshen fruit" without sampling it.-New
York Independent.

BANKING UP TREES.

In raising the level of ground by filing,
the question often arises whether trees
which are thus covered to considerable
height around the trunk will be killed
or not. The Country Gentleman says
that trees which have green and tender
bark may be killed by banking up the
earth around them, if the soil is of
such a character as to hold water for
some time wherever it is drenched by
rains; but older trees, with stiff and dry
and thick bark, and with the soil about
them sufficiently dry and porous to
allow the water to drain away soon, will
not be injured. Trees which have a
-furrowed bark will favor this
drainage better thar those with smooth
bark.

WISDOM FROM THE PULPIT.

Vocates Arbitration.

vocates Arbitration.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July PA new
movement for the solution of the Home
stead deadlock was inaugurated to day under
impressive circumstances. The tragical 90
currence in PittsburR with Fl. G. Friok as
the victim was taken as the occasion for
this latest departure. In the presence
of gathering made up largely
of strikers and militiamen, it was
proposed TO make o fresh attempt at arbi-
tration. The proposal came from q source
beyond either party to the difficulty and
was put forward in a way 30 unusual as to
command marked attention. Divine serv-
ice at the principal Catholic church in
Homestead was interrupted at q most solemn
part while the pastor, Rev. Father Bullion,
who had turned from the brilliantly lighted
altar and faced the congregation, began q
denunciation Of anarchy aad the attack on
Mr.. Frick. Not q sound could be heard ex-
cspt the earnest words from the sanctuary,
so wrapped were the listeners in what
was being said. The clergyman d welt upon
the pleasure afforded all good citizens
by the fact that the imprisoned man was
not from Homestead and that his principles
were not theirs. He declared that peace
able means were best for both sides and the
only ones that should be employed,
violence only tending TO create
an increased bitterness Of feeling.
He hoped TO be abls soon to say that the
company had realized that it would DO
more benedting financially by an honor
able arrangement with the old hands rather
than in securing the country to ill their
places. The strikers were urged in co.,
olusion to hold themselves in readiness for
opening toward what was the only rightful
| settlement and reasonable settlement-arbi-
| tration.
Four Of the non-union men shut up inside
the mill inclosure could stand the Writ
| ual Imprisonment no longer and made
their escape. In the town the advisory
committee of the strikers took them
in hand and reported that the
| four claimed they had no idea
| they were to be kept continuously away

A Steamer Crashed Into Her In Fog.
All on Board Saved.
BosroN, July 24-The steamer Il. F.
Company arrived here from New York
about O'Clock this evening, having on
board the occupants of w. K. Vanderbilts
yacht Alva, which the steamer ran down
this morning. The Alva, under command
of Capt. Henry Morrison, left Bar Harbor
at o'clock Saturday, bound for Newport,
r. l., having on board the owner and his
guests, Fred < Vanderbilt, George Deforest,
Lewis Webb, Winfield Scott White and
Frank Riggs, all Of whom are summering
at Newport. Early this morning thick
fog set in and Capt Morrison deemed it i'm
prudent TO run further as the yacht was
then in the track of coasting vessels.
After making Pollock Rigs lightship
the anchor was dropped, whistles and horns
blown at frequent interval, and every pos
sible precsution taken to warn other vessels
Of the whereabouts of the Alva.
THE CRASH.
The owner and his guests we're all sleep
ing In their berths when few minutes
past O'Clock they were aroused by a
heavy crash, accompanied by the tearing
OF the plates of their vessel. William Van
derbilt was the first on deck, closely fol-
lowed by Mr.. Riggs. Looming up through
the fog they could see the dark
hull OF a large steamer breaking away from
the Yacht The steamer was the II. +.
Dimock, whose stem had penetrated the
side Of the Alva, steviug in the forward
bulkheads. The Grew OF the yaoht
hailed the steamer, aud informed the
captain that the yacht must sink.
Capt Coleman of the Dimock, after re-
ceiying an affirmative answer to the ques.
ton whether the boat remained intact, told
the people on the yacht that he would lay
by until they could be transferred to his
vessel. A steam launch, -FOUR
rowboats and naphtha launch
were then lowered from the Alva, which
was rapidly sinking, and the owner and
passengers with the crew of fifty-two men
were soon pulling away from the yacht.
PLUNGED TO THE BOTTOM.
Their exit was none too soon, for when
they were about a cables length from tLeir
vessel she made violent keel to port, and,
righting again, plunged down bow first and
nothing but her three masts sticking out OF
the water indicated the presence OF
the magnificent ocean rover they bad so
lately deserted. The party we're all
safely landed on board the Dimock, which
anchored and remained until ABOUT :40
O'Clock in the afternoon, when the log llfted
aud the course was set for Boston, arriving
at the dock Of India wharf about O'Clock
this evening. The Dimock was going at
greatly reduced speed at the time OF The
collision. otherwise, she would probably
have run right over the Alva and frightful
loss of life would have been the result, ow-
ing to the fact that all OF the passengers
and one-half the crew we're soundly asleep
at toe time OF the accident.

REDDING, CAL, July 24-Johu d. and
Charles RuRglss. two brothers, who robbed
the Redding stage near hero several weeks
ago and killed Express Messenger Mont
gomery and wounded the driver and a
passenger, were taken from Jail by about
forty armed and masked men at $50 O'clock
this morning and hanged. The recent
sentimental attitude OF a number of
women toward the prisoners, as we'll
as the line OF defense adopted by thsir
counsel, who has been evidently endeavor-
ing to implicate Messenger Montgomery as
a party to the crime, had been denounced
by a number of persons in the county, and
it is believed the lynching was due to these
causes. About l O'Clock this morn
ing a body of armed men, who
had evidently rendezvoused some
distance from town, marched through the
streets to tbs court house. The sheriff and
deputy sheriff were asleep at the time, but
the men aroused the jailer and compelled
him to accompany them TO the sheriff's
Office and forced him to divulge the fact
that the keys were in the sheriffs safe.
The men then spent nearly an hour in opea-
ing the SAFE Finally they secured the keys
and went to that part Of the building oo-
cupied as the Jail.
PLEADED FOR HIS BROTHER.
The cells of the two men were opened and
the elder one, John Rugges, asked the
crowd to be lenient with his brother, saying
he was innocent. The brothers were hand
cuffed, and their hands tied behind their
backs and they were then led from the jail
The party walked several blocks and stopped
near the railroad oompanys large wood
shed, where q cross beam was suspended
from two pine trees. The ends of ropes,
which had been placed around the necks
of the two men, were thrown across
beam aud the men were told they could
make statement. The brothers had little
to say, though John still persisted that the
younger one was innocent. In another
moment. on a signal from the leader of
the lynchers. they were suspended about
four feet from the ground and, after secur-
ing the ropes, the crowd dispersed and the
bodies were left there until cut down by
| the coroner about 3 O'Clock this morning
Passengers on the railroad saw the bodies
from the car windows dangling in the
morning sun.
