Horace Greeley and His Bride.

when Horace Greeley was first
married and brought his wife home on
a visit a sugar party was given in their
honor on a neighboring farm. All
the guests had arrived, and we were
looking out, watching for the belated
bride and groom. At last we saw
something appearing in the distance.
As this same object came nearer, We
discovered it WAS the old white horse
of the Greeleys, slowly picking his
way through the mud. On his back
sat the bride in q brilliant yellow frock,
with green velvet belt, and behind
her, wrapped in his famous white over
coat, sat the already famous editor. 1t
was the funniest sight I ever saw, and
set us off in fits of laughing. 1 re-
member" concluded my informant,
laughing again al her recollection,
that simply lay down and rolled
upon the floor in a spasm of mirth. "
Mr.. Greeley came home every year,
and after a day or two on the farm,
would start to walk miles and call on
people. He was never known to knock
at a farmhouse door. No matter
whether he knew the inmates or not,
he would push open the door, walk
right in, sit down by the fireplace and
fall to discussing crops and other
topics dear to the farmers heart.
Everybody was glad to welcome this
gentle, brusque intruder. .-Prass and
Printer.

..,,.m s,-..,.car Incident.

An amusing incident occurred the

ing M the Bowery. On the front OF
the platform was a very mlschle-
vous looking youth and very dllapi-
lated trunk. The conductor, alter
collecting the boys fare, demanded d
fare for the trunk also, which the Doy
promptly refused to pay.
'lf you don't pay for that trunk,
and right away, too, I'll throw IL OH
the car" said the conductor.
Il can't help what you do, the hoy
replied, II shan't pay you a cent Iof
It."
After a wordy dispute, in which
The boy persisted in his refusal to pay
for the trunk, the conductor gave IL a
kick which lifted it into the street

gery rublcund face, suddenly sprung
from his seat and gazed wistfully back
At the trunk. which was fast becom-

An expert in hardwood floors says
that il is common mistake for people
to apply wax to an oiled floor before the
coat of oil has become thoroughly dry.
The wax surface is undoubtedly the best
finish hard wood floor can have. 1t
requires continual polishing with wax
polishing brush, when it is new, but
when the wood has finally been brought
to high state of polish nothing is more
satisfactory. A great many people who
have laid down hardwood floors in their
kit,h as have become dissatisfied with
them becasuc they crack aud fall off in
in splinters when they are scrubbed and
treated in the ordinary way. Such
result is likely to follow such method
Of treating q hard wood floor. Scrub
bing any such floor with alkali soaps or
strong alkalies is sure to produce such
results. 4 hardwood floor must be fin
ished in oils, wax or shellac, and for
obvious reasons the oil finish is the best
for kitchen use. A dirty floor may be
wiped with a moist cloth, or, if neces-
sary, a little soap and water may be used.
The spot then must be dried thoroughly
and rubbed with little parquet OIL

MOISTURE PAN IN OVEN.

in our own experience in baking, W
GGd that a small pan of water placed in
the oven, and filed as often as 1t be.
comes dry, is a great help. 1t prevents
tie bread or cake from burning, even
with full oven and very hot fire, saves
nearly one-half the labor in watching
and turning the loaves, and prevents a
tnick, hard crust. 1t is usually filed
with water from the teakettle, but if the
oven seems too hot, tnrow ont the hot
water, fill with cold and put back. The
pan we use is ten inches long, Que inch
wide aad one deep, It Is made by fold
ing the tin at the ends aud pounding
lightly until the folds are SO close that
the paE is water-tIght. \ pan made
with solder will not do, for with the

Interesting Ordnance Experiments.

The Armstrong Company, of Eng
land, has shown some very interest
ing experiments with the latest ord
nance. A six-inch gun was fred four
times in twenty seconds, an eight-inch
gun three times in thirty seconds. A
torpedo was driven satisfactorily with
cordite as a powder. There was a
search light which would keep its
beam upon an object no matter how
violently the vessel rolled. A ten
inch thirtyton gun, when it was
fired, opened the breech screw by the
recol and wound up a spring, which
when released, would close the breech
again. A47100 field howitzer anchored
itself after the first discharge by driv-
ing a spade-shaped plate into the
ground, after which its reeoil was met
by jacket which surrounds it. 4
quick-iring field gun, which anchors
itself in similar manner, fred five
rounds of scrapnel in fifty-three Sec
onds. A ifteen-pounder mountain
howitzer could be taken to pieces SO
that no part of it would wsigh more
than 200 pounds. 1t was screwed to-
gether in five minutes. :. six.inch
gun, with light portable disappearing
mountings for siege train, could bs
taken apart 30 that no portion weighed
more than three tons, ten hours being
required to mount it. A six-inch naval
gun fred Ave rounds m sixty-nine Sec
onds, each time at different range
and target. A plate Of special steel
designed for q shield received rife and
Gatling gun fire at 100 yards range
without a single penetration, while the
plate hitherto used was penetrated at
every shot, the Gathng gun almost
cutting it in two.-Chicago Herald.
