Advised For His Good.

They are neighbors on Second avenue,
and as they walked down town the other
morning one of them observed:
My wife is crazy to have me buy n
new milk COW. What do you think of
the idea?'
"Magnifcentl You couldn't invest $40
in way to bring you better returns"
"Much bother and EXPENSE"
Hardly any. Your milk won't cost
you over a cent n quart, and it will be
pure milk too. If | had barn, I'd keep
two cows"
Two or three of my friends have
rather discouraged me-"
Don't listen to 'em. Rich cream for
Strawberries and cotfee-pure, sweet
milk for the children and kitchen! I've
often wondered that you didn't keep a
COW. No care, no trouble, no expense.
I'll guarantee you'll never regret it. In
fact, it is really your duty toward your
children"
Yes, | suppose so. | guess I'll go
over to the hay market and buy one and
send her up.
Ten minutes later the man who adj
vised was telephoning to "A carpenter

nothing Of interest there to me except
the types of people. The so called
shows are frauds and fakes. Those
that are advertised as being obscene and
vulgar are weak and vapid. There is
nothing terrible about them at all, and
the mysterious whispered comments
upon their broadness are unnecessary.
There is no vulgarity about them.

How to Use Charcoal In plac. of Ice.


For keeping large pieces of meat and
poultry here is a simple device: Have a
large barrel or hogshead half filed with
charcoal. Put meat hooks in strip of
joist and place across the top of the bar
rel. Have netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in cool place
and pieces of meat be hung on the hooks.
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be a
protection against insects, Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper and buried in bed of
charcoal. Of course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once a month. 1t can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, it it difficult to get a
good supply of charcoal, the old can be
purified by putting it into the stove with
a few lighted chips and allowing it to
burn until redhot. AT this stage open
all the windows to let the gas pass off;
then close the drafts of the stove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, it will be
ready for use again. - Ladies Home
Journal.

A Burglar Who Tried to Take Everything
c. A Collins, who says that he is a
clerk, but who is said by the police to be
one of the shrewdest burglars in the
city, is confined in one of the tanks in
the city prison. He was arrested Wednes-
day night by Detectives Silvey, Cody and
Crockett
On the 25th of last month. according
to the police, he broke into The fiat of
Mrs. Knox at 2542 Howard street while
she was absent in the country and for
two days devoted his time to carting
away every movable object in the house
Nothing seemed to be beneath his notice,
and in the various trips he made in and
out he took away all the silverware,
clothing, bedclothes. etc, that belonged
to Mrs. Knox, and then took down the
curtains and portieres and the pictures
on the walls. The carpets and rugs also
came under his observation, and he took
the choicest.
All these things were disposed OF to a
Fourth street furniture dealer, and Sill
yer says that he not only received the
cash for them, but made arrangements
with the furniture man to go and get
the piano and the rest of the carpets, and
had negotiations under way with Mar
ket street real estate agent to put mort
gage on the building.-San Francisco

In Kentucky Jurors Must he Able to Read.
Circuit Judge Green in a murder trial
at Williamstown decided that not being
able to read disqualified a person from
sitting on jury. 1t is the first time the
question has been raised we believe.
Section 225 of the criminal code pro-
vides: THE court shall, on motion of
either party, and before argument to the
jury, instruct the jury on the law ap-
plicable to the case, which shall always
be given in writing" Congressman
Dickerson made the point that each jury
man should be able to read the instrrc-
tons himself, and if he could not do this
be was disqualified. The judge sustained
the objection. (Ky.) Gazette.

ABANDostD FARMS.
People LIVING Outside Massachusetts
WI to Buv Them.


BosroN. Ais. so-Thefe is growing
dennud for tie abandoned farius in the
state of Massachusetts, ard the state
board of agriculture is evidently of tn.
opinion that the diy is soon coming when
there will be no such thing as an aban
doned farm 20 Re had. The catalogues
now being distributed as they are asked
for are incomplete in some particulars,
and So the assessors in the different towns
have been asked by the board to furnish
information concerning farms that are uu
occupied. Tae replies to this request are
now coming in rapidly, aud the board will
soon be able To l;sus another catalogue
which will he quite rs complete as one can
well be made
A majority Of the requests for informa-
tion concerning the farms come from
farmers in other states, who think that
farming is far more profitable in Massa
chusetts. Numerous communications have
come in from gentlemen in easy circum
stances who would leave the hustle OF the
city for the quiet of country life. Under
the head of Causes for A andonment OF
Farms it Is stated rs follows:
There is n strange fascination in city life
which has always existed and which leads
many VINO are unutr It's - Ell u pititi poNtit ,
and privation In the city TO Independence and
comfort in the country: vet it must be adj
mitted that the promise that leads to the
abandonment of country life is frequently I'M
fulfilled.
The movement from the country to the city
has affected the labor market in two ways; I
may lead TO dearth of agricultural labor n
the depleted districts, and IT may intensity
the competition TO which the city laborer il
subjected both as to employment and labor
The farms OF New England have in the past
nuriured strong and brave men, but 1t was
not because Of any favorable economic condi'
tions. 1t is eh-,il' shown that the hardships
and poverty cf our farmers were in the past
much greater than they are today.

Are Anin.1i. Ever "Bored?"

surely mankind has sufficient faults
and failings of its own to answer for
without being called upon to assume the
responsibility of animal failings as well.
An American author has discovered that
domestic animals, such as cats or dogs.
are not only subject to ennui, but also
display their feelings under that infic-
ton after very much the same fashion
as their human friends, fact which no
one who has kept tame animals will be
tempted to deny.
But from this fact our contemporary,
The News, leaps to a perfectly unwar-
rantable conclusion and boldly asserts
that ours is the fault that mankind has
inoculated tine beast creation with its
own particular disease and that it is
civilization (which produces ennui, not
only in men, women and children, but
even III cats and dogs" I'VE may well
blush" it continues, "when we think
how man has demoraliied the dog. We
have taught the dog to be bored We
have corrupted him by our society,"
And again, "Ennui is one of man many
inventions, but he has taught the I'M
profitable vice to the domestic or at Least
to the household animals-pupils only
too apt in evil"
Was ever SO monstrous a charge lev
eled against our innocence. The next
+. thing we shall be told is that we are the
cause that dogs do bark and bite and
that whatever may have been the NOR
ality of DR.. Watts his natural history
is no better than his poetry. The News,
if it is so assured of the demoralizing in
fluence it has exercised upon dogs, is
welcome to blush for itself. We prefer
to maintain that dogs sorrow under
boredom for the same simple reason that
they delight to bark and bite, "for It's
their nature to."-London Spectator.
