JuniuS Booths Narrow Escape.

Harry Langdon was playing with
Junius Brutus Booth at the time Mr..
Lincoln was killed by Booths brother.
Mr. Langdon remarked to me:
Il saved Mr.. Booth from walking
into the midst of crowd at Cincinnati
that might have torn him to pieces.
We were stopping at the same hotel
and playing together. He did not think
at first that it was his brother who had
killed Mr.. Lincoln. He was about to
go right out into the midst of the infuri-
ated people. I saw that he was trans
ferred from room to room in the hotel,
and, as successive dispatches came into
the city and the time progressed, [
asked him if he was now satisfied that
his brother John bad killed Mr.. Lin
coin. Yes said he, I think the evil
dence is now conclusive that John did
it. We took a walk in Cincinnati,
somewhat disguised-that is to say, we
had slouching hats. He was good
deal affected, and at my suggestion he
gave himself up when we got to Phila-
delphia. We went from Cincinnati
direct to Philadelphia. He was sent to
the Old Capitol prison at Washington.
I do not think that the brothers of John
Booth had any feelings in common with
him on the Southern question" -

glass, of any desired size, are fitted
endwse into grooves in the two
boards, and all is fastened together
by mailing to the boards three strips
of lath, as shown in Fig. 2. A small
hole is bored in each end board, for
ventilation. These may be plugged
in the colder weather. These port
able plant shelters not only retain
the heat radiated from the earth, but
also admit the light needed by the
plant. The heat of the sun is en-
trapped by the glass, and remains to
invigorate the leaf growth. Oiled
muslin, and even common white cot
ton cloth, may be substituted for the
glass, in some cases. The shelters
should be collected and carefully
stored away for future use as, with
proper care, they will last many years.
Their use in the protection of early
plants will often many times repay
their cost and make the crop certain.

The Jersey Cow.

The presence of the beautiful Jer-
sey and other high-bred cattle in the
fields. so commoly seen by those who
occasionally go abroad to see what
other people are doing, is the result
of the excellent service done by the
fancy farmers. They spent money
like water to stock their farms and
the whole country now enjoys the
benefit of their good judgment and
business enterprise. They have made
the high. priced cattle pay hand
somely for their high cost and by the
surplus progeny of them the farms of
the neighborhoods have been stocked,
until one of the best of these cows
may now be purchased at price for
merly given for one of the common
herd. The widespread results of this
scattering abroad of these improved

The True Cost OF Food,

In estimating the real expense in
volved in a food furnished to stock,
the value of the food as source of
fertility to the farm should be con-
sidered and deducted from the cost
or market value, says the German
town Telegraph. The result thus
obtained will of course vary with the
cost of food. Take for instance, oats
at $50 per ton, the value Of the man
ure from the same is worth So. 46
which deducted from the cost would
leave sl9 "a, the true cost OF oats as
a fodder. We take this manurial
value from the tables that have been
given, and are uncertain whether
that is an average Of results from
different kinds of animals or from
feeding to cattle alone. We are in
clined to the opinion that there
might be variation IN the value of
manure, as food to different kinds of
animals In the case of cotton seed
meal at a cost of S28 per ton, there
is given a manurial value of S18. IL
per ton, so the true cost of the food
would be only 50. 81; this is considera-
bly, cheaper than linseed meal which
at the same price having its man
urial value only Sl293 would make

the food cost S15.07, or a little more
than one-half as much again as the
cotton seed meal. Making another
comparison with cotton seed meal at
$50 per ton, the cost Of food would be
Sll.S7 and with Indian corn meal at
$50 per ton, and Il cost of food of
SIS. As, it will be seen that there is a
very marked difference in favor of
the cotton seed meal, it being in the
ratio Of 81. 1t is these points that
are worthy the attention of farmers
that they may determine the question
of actual profit.

Lawn Making,

Prof. n E. Hansen. Ames, iowa,
at the Iowa State horticultural
meeting gave an interesting talk on
'Lawn Making" He said: ''Avoid
harsh lines and wearisOme, angular
paintings which have no beauty and
lack convenience of arrangement.
The person in charge should have the
entire plan well thought out before

sees it the advantage and comfort to

CHAPTER XIV.

The next morning was brilliantly fine,
the dew sparkling in the sun. When
Mrs. Lowell rose, she threw open her
windows, and stood enchanted by the
beauty of the sweet, fresh country. The
park was very undnlating, the road
crossed it for abou. half mile, and then
lost itself in woods. Near the house
stood some large trees, at the entrance
of some shrubbery, and under them the
turf was of that thick velvety texture
which no turf that is not very old will
ever attain.
Mamie went in to call Dita; the child
was tired with her journey, and still
slept very soundly, with her round arms
clasped over her head. Mamie woke
her with many kisses, and she sat up
rubbing her eyes.
ooh, mammie. how prEty you look"
she cried; and Mamie found some pleas
IRE in her pink dressing gown, as the
child admired it so much.
When she was dressed and had flown
to the window with cry Oh delight,
Mamie felt feeling of happiness that
she had not known for a long time. 1t
was delightful to be once more in the
beautiful country.
When breakfast was over, Andrew
said that the agent Mr.. Smith, was com
ing to see him, and he advised Mrs.
Lowell to enter into thorough examina-
ton of the house from head to foot. So
Nannie's first day in her new home was
"a busy and pleasant one.
She summoned the housekeeper, who
accompanied her on her rounds; and
they opened every door and every cup
board, examined wardrobes and chests
Of drawers, looked into the condition oil
the stores, and were thoroughly busy
After luncheon, which was terrible
| ordeal to Mrs. Lowell, Andrew took them
out, ano they visited the beautiful old
| fashioned garden, with its yew-hedges

CLEAN your mirrors with soft paper
instead Of cloth.
A LUMP OF sugar saturated with
vinegar will cure hiccoughs.
WOODEN aprons are recommended
either to cooks or other women who
are constantly about a hot stove.
IF ink is despatched on woodwork,
it may be taken out by securing with
sand and water and a little ammonia;
then rinse with soda water
MAKE strong solution of alum in
boiling water and apply with a brush
to all cracks and places where insect
pests are apt to congregate.
DRAW the finger end or the thumb
end Of an old kid glove over your
cologne bottle cork. and SO save much
of the strength Of the cologne.
PUT some curry in pepper cruet
and place it among the condiments
on your dinner table. A little of it
adds an appetizing piquancy to meats
and soups.
DURING the summer months light
dresses, especially children's gar
ments, are very apt to be stained b
grass: these grass stains are easily re
moved by alcohol. Put little OF tn,

AN application of hardwood ashes
will supply the soil with potash, so
necessary in the berry garden
POTATOES may be planted between
most berry rows the first season, but
never corn nor any crop to- shade the
grounu.
The preponderance OF evidence
from experiment. stations, as we'll as
from private experiments. is against
cutting potatoes, especially to- one
eye for an early crop
EVEN village or city lot COULD be
made to- accommodate a small straw
berry bed, row Of raSpberries, d tree
or two of plumb, peach. cherry, pear,
or apple, and half a dozen grape
vines.
A LITTLE pruning every year is, the
only right way, and saving off large
limbs is apt to do mortal injury. The
skilled orchadist removes the sprouts
with the finger point when they first
issue from the bud.
The Indiana Farmer declares that
a quarter OF an acre CT good land is
enough garden for one family and it
will take but an hour to cultivate
that space with horse tools, and you
can we'll afford to give an hour a
week to- the garden for the sake of
having an abundant supply OF fresh
vegetables.
MUCH that is planted in the front
yard should be in the back yard. The
nnest things on a home ground are
not for show or dress parade. Flowers
should fringe the pathway to the
barn, and vines should cling to and
oyersbadow the back porch, con-
stanty adding to the enjoyment of
busy farm or home workers in their
6ajlv routine

the man who was captured at Win

and the latter obliglngly took It and
locked it up in his tool box.
When the excitement over Salyards
spread Joe went to get the bundle.
The box was still locked and although
neither Dontler or his assistant had
been near it and no ono else had keys,
the bundle was gone. Charles had
been there evidently and helped him
