A Frog Swallows a Mouse.

Cuba Myers tends bar at the depot,
and has been considerably vexed by a
mouse which daily enjoyed a free
lunch in the pretzel basket Traps

sharp and defled all attempts to cap
ture it. This morning Mr.. Myers
heard the mouse In the basket and
determined to try new plan to get
rid Of it. He picked up the basket
very carefully and carried it over to a
box in which were several big frogs
Holding the basket over the box he
shook it vigorously, expecting to

The Sing Sing Prison.

Nearly.every train that goes to
Sing Sing week days bears at least
one utterly sad-looking woman. She
is, as a rule, neatly but poorly dressed.
She takes the long walk, and dreary
one it must be, to the prison. The
lovely view across the Hudson she
cannot see for the gathering tears in
her eyes. But the ugly graystone
prision is distinct enough. Down the
long steps she descends to the office.
where big man in blue treats her
kindly enough and gives her a seat on
one Of three hard benches. 1t is
hardly necessary to consult the books
to find if the rules allow her to see
the prisoner she asks for These
heart-brOken women keep sure count
of the days, and every two months
finds them waiting patiently for the
husband or the son to come in in his
hated stripes. The meeting IS al
most without exception very quiet.
The convict is shame-faced and ner-
vOus, but determined not to show his
feelings or break down, as he sits
there talking in low voice, twiddling
his ugly cap. The woman struggles
brayely to keep back her tears, but
she cannot restrain the sObs that
again and again cOnvulse her frame.
Then it is, ''Time's up" and the
tears break out at the parting. One
can nowhere else find so utterly pa
thetic and hopeless sight, yet it is a
daily occurrence at Sing Sing. New

Electricity and HORTICULTURE.

In. forcing fruits and vegetables
the electric light promises to be a
valuable aid. 1t has been found that
lettuce is particularly susceptible to
the influence of the electric light, by
means of which it can be grown for
market in two-thirds the usual
length of time. Other vegetables re-
spond, likewise, in varying degrees
But everything depends upon the
proper regulating Of the light, and
this can only be learned bv study and
experience. 1t is not to be employed
as a substitute for sunlight 1t is
merely used in supplementary FASH
ion. The greenhouse that has the
sun in the daytime is illuminated at
night with arc lights, toward which
the plants incline their leaves and
flowers, accepting quite innocently
these artificial counterfeits Of the orb
OF day. 1t was supposed hitherto
that vegetables required intervals Of
darkness for their health and devel-
opment, just as animals need sleep,
but it has been shown that, supplied
with electric rays, they will 60 on
growing thrifty between sunset and
daybreak: staying up all night seems
to do them no harm: so long as the
dissipation is properly regulated. The
electric gardener employs opal globes
to diminish the intensity of the
light. When it is left bare and ad-
mitted to shed its unfiltered rays
upon the plants, the latter grow
pale, run up quickly in sticky stalks
and soon die. Properly regulated, the
influence Of electricity upon the color
of flowers is extraordinary. Tulips
exposed to its light have deeper and
richer tints, Towering more freely,
and developing longer stems and big
ger leaves. Fuchsias blossom earlier
under like conditions Petunias also
flower earlier ana more profusely,
growing taller and more slender
Roses bloom more plentifully and
prOtltably under their new conditions;
and it is the same with many other

In rendering the opinion Of the court In

Brethren in Christ, Dayton, o., against
Mary Neisz's executor and In the case OF
the Otterbein University against the same,
Judge Jenner did not undertake 10 review

Mary Neits, during her lifetime, gave her
note by way Of voluntary subscription
10 the Missionary society for $500,
and 60 the Oiterbein University for

died her executor refused to pay over the
amount, alleging that there Was no con-

to recover. The lower, Judge McCarty-
decided, when the society and the Uni

they were not entitled to recover, on the
grounds that there was no consideration
on the notes. The plaintiffs then took the
