The Rev. Joseph Haven, who preached
in Rochester, N. H., during the last
quarter Of the last century, has been al.
ways remembered for his genial spirit
and his inexhaustible humor. One story
told of him has many parallels, but it is
quite as likely to be true in his case as
in any.
The boy had been guilty of some grave
offense, and yet would not confess it.
81 can tell who did it" said the parson,
and accordingly he called together all
the boys suspected and explained to then
that he had confined rooster under 0
kettle in II darkened room. One aftei
another they must pass in and touch the
kettle. When the guilty boy touched it, he
might expect to hear the rooster crow.
The lads filed in and out again and
were made to display their fingers. AL
but those of one lad were sooty. He, the
guilty one, had not ventured to touch
the telltale kettle.-Youths Companion

Light shoes, short shoes and clumsy
shoes produce corns by COMPRISING,
cramping and rubbing against the joints.
A great many of these pedal blemishes
are hereditary. In any case it is good
plan to suppress them. Every medicine
merchant has a variety of cures" and
nearly all give temporary relief. A
poultice made of vinegar soaked bread
crumbs will cure little corn in one
night. 1t is not advisable to let corn
grow. Either rub down the formation
with pumice stone or remove it with q
knife. A little opposition will discour
age it, provided sensible shoes are worn

There has been vigorous contest in
the legislature of Connecticut over the
provisions of the proposed general
statute for the regulation of electric rail
way enterprises. As finally passed, the
bill permits the paralleling of existing
steam railroads, provided the courts can
be convinced that the public interests
require it in any particular case, which
is perhaps the wisest disposition of the
matter that could have been made.
Freight may be transported under sim
liar conditions.
Our own view of the matter is that the
steam railroad companies will ultimately
find it for their interest to control all the
profitable and well located electric lines
and will operate them on a coupon ticket
system as feeders and distributors Of
their local passenger traffic. That thi:
might be done in many cases, with the
greatest possible advantage to all con
cerned, is obvious upon the most casua
consideration of the matter.-Engineer

Fowls are often troubled with watery
craw, though this is not so usual as the
ailment known as crop bound, where
tho crop hardens and swells from the in
digestion of the dry food the bird eats.
1t is the same trouble, only in the one
case the contents of the crop are watery
and in the other hard and dry. Stod-
Idard's remedy is to place the affected
fowl on very low diet, keep drink away
from him for day and physic him with
a teaspoonful of castor oil and powdered
lrhubarb. He does not consider this a
fatal disease at all if properly and sea.

3 II have recently had q strange expert
enoe.s said q gentleman yesterday.
s'What was ite Well, the other day
met a lady acquaintance on the street,
and after the exchange Of the usual
greetings she proceeded to condole with
me over the death Of my wife. I was
dumfounded over her pathetic and pro-
fuse sympathy. When / recovered my
senses, ventured to enlighten the lady
by assuring her that my wife was in the
land of the living, well and hearty. The
lady was astonished to learn that Mrs.
-, an intimate friend Of my wife, who
had told her, could have been SO mis-.
taken. In less than an hour after cor.
recting this error met another mutual
friend, and she had also been told by
Mrs. - that my wife had gone to that
undiscovered country.
During that afternoon and the day
following dozen people expressed Their
sympathy over my loss. and strange Il
say all of them had learned the story
from Mrs. -. l Of course told m,

Mrs. - for an explanation. It wa

KILLING CELERY.

each, as recommended by Professor
Green. Here is what he says about it in
a manual on celery culture published by
the Rural Publishing company, New
York:
In handling we tried string by wind
ing once around each plant and then GO
ing on to the next, keeping the string
taut enough to hold the stalks in place.
This was decided Improvement over
the way Of holding the stalks in place by
earth until the rest of the soil was put
in, but when it came to taking the
string off the soil would be tramped
around the plants, and the leaves and
upper part of the stalks would be torn
of. Some one thought that paper
string might do, and it would rot off and
not hurt the plant. We put it ON sew
eral thousand plants and found that
very little injury was done, and this
happened by the careless putting on OF
the string. The plants were held in po-
lsition by the string until rain came
and settled the dirt around the plant
!. and wet the string enough so it would
give way to the growing plant. TIC
some of the plants we gave q second
banking before the string gave way and
let the plant spread. We invented q
little device for putting the string on. ]
took tomato can and punched hole
through the bottom of it, nailed it to q
stick, and then taking piece of sus
pender with the buckles fastened it tc
the right arm above the elbow and al
the wrist, letting the string run out al
) the bottom of the can between tht
! thumb and front finger. With this one
i can wind celery all day.
The final blanching may be done with
boards, and these need not be excessively
wide either.
