For some months past farmers whose
fields touch the Darby creek near Ard
more, Pa, have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the waters edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled off the
trunks near the ground. Only bushes
and trees that oyerhang the creek are
affected. The farmers thought it must
be the work of rabbits, and as the depre-
dations extended for three miles whole
sale raid upon the Dummies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that timely
and startling discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun a farmer sat by the stream to watch
for the shrub d lstroyers when he beheld
a large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. 1t was after fly
that had lighted there, but in its en-
deavor to get it tore off considerable
chunk of bark Then another carp was
seen doing the same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching hies.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

The Tramp Nuisance.

The tramp fraternity has made itself
unusually obnoxious during the hard
times, and heroic measures have been
resorted to for the purpose of suppress
ing it. In San Francisco the tramps
that infested and robbed the docks We're
driven out by dueking them in the sea.
In Boston it seems that the sacred
common had literally fallen into the
hands of tramps before the police could
be aroused to a sense of their duty. Pc
destrians were accosted at all hours of
the day and night, and if they did not
give were cursed and even struck, &C
cording to the hour and the loneliness of
the locality. Women We're ballied and
insulted and children robbed of their
pennies. Finally the police deci,e,l to
raid the common and rid it or Is udit-
ii. Twenty-Five arrests wee RAJ, . the
prisoners were sent TO the $500 l. the

Ono Kind of Economy.

The young man wanted 10 marry the
girl, but he was a reckless chap, spending
his salary up close, and the girls father
didn't like to take such risk.
About how much do you save each
year?'' he asked the youth, who had APP
preached him on the subject.
II should say about 81 a year." he
laughed, for he was the kind of a young
man who thinks it's wife's duty to teach
young man how to save.
"Um-um-er," calculated the old man.
-Four dollars year-four dollars a year.
Well, you can have the girl he went on
briskly and i business tones, but you've
got to wait for her until you have saved
100000 That's the amount | determined
her husband shall have. OF course it will
take you %, 900 years, and "A good deal may
happen in that time, but your kind of

Latest Outrage of Chinese on Missions.


The latest collision between foreign
missionaries and the Chinese populace
may serve as typical example of these
regrettable incidents. Two inexperienced
men, beginning 20 learn the Chinese
language, find themselves planted in
hostile district, acquire land and erect
buildings in a style VIGOROUSLY offensive
to the native people, and it is fair to as
sumo do other things in keeping there
with. The popular hate, which needed
no fostering. SINNERS awhile and at
a given moment breaks out in murder
GUS explosion, the poor missionaries be-
coming martyrs, not to Christianity, but
rather to their own deplorable lack of
judgment.
OF course the rioters deserve to be Sc
verely dealt with. 1t is dangerous to
leave them UNPUBLISHED. Yet we know
they will not be punished, for the Chi
nese government will do neither good
nor evil that it can avoid, and moreover,
though 1t may not approve of mob yio-
lence, its sympathies are naturally and
necessarily with its own people, and not
with the intrusive and always hateful
foreigners. As for the western powers,
the diplomatic fasco of 1891 afforded
conclusive proof that none of them has
a clear enough conscience to coerce the
Chinese in such a matter.--A. Niche in
London Times.

The Err of SPECULATION.

In these days of speculation and of
tremendous fiuctuation III Wall street
prices it is not surprising that weak hui
man nature yields TO great temptation.
The wonder is not that cashier, pay
ing teller, president, a custodian of
trust funds, yields, but that so few
among the large number of compare
lively poor men, handling hundreds of
thousands of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, fall
by the wayside. 1t stands to reason that
where one is detected half a dozen es-
cape disgrace, a lucky turn in specula-
ton enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets.
1t may be doubted if any of the long list
of defaulters intended at the outset to
defraud their employers or their custo-
mers. It's the old story. The unexpect-
ed happened, the money was lost, the
hypothecated securities We're sold, and
the inevitable discovery brought ruin
upon the defaulter and shame upon his
family and friends. New York Re

succeeded Geo. w. Cook in the Office of
justice on Dog creek, but not until Satur-
day was he called upon to unite two hearts
in the bond of matrmony. The squire WAS
averse to performing an act on All FOOLS
day, as he does not consider marriage to-
tally a.failure, but owing to limited accom-
modations was prevailed upon by the
groom to look up his law and prepare him
self for the emergency. No form could be
found, though several hours were spent in
r, search through his law library, and at
last, as the groom would brook no further
delay, Dave is said to have composed a
rather short but impressive form and hastily
reading il asked the blessing of providence
