A Narrow Escape.


During heavy gale of wind one after
noon last fall Brooklyn gentleman in
feeble health was struggling to reach his
home, aided by his wife.
Just as they reached the corner of a
street window-blind was torn from a
house by the wind and dashed to the
ground just in front of them.
Good heavens!" he cried, chat was a
narrow escape for US, Hannah"
If it had struck us it would have killed
us both, y she said, trembling.
The two stopped for a moment to ex-
anime the blind, but just as they were
scrutlnlzing it the window above was
opened, touzled female head was thrust
out and a shrill voice shouted:
"Look-a-here! You needn't think you
are going to carry that thing off, cause it
belongs to this house. Boston Budget.
More than half the world supply of tin
is mined in the Straits settlement at the

Had to Know Him.

A now distinguished jurist, says an
exchange, migrated to a western town;
months of idleness, with no prospect of
improvement, induced him to seek new
home. Without money to pay his fare,
he boarded a train for Nashville, in
tending to seek employment as reporter
on one of the daily newspapers. When
the conductor called for his ticket, he
said: II am on the staff Of The - of
Nashville. l suppose you will pass me?"
The conductor looked at him sharply.
''The editor of that paper is in the smok
er. Come with me. If he identifies you,
all right. :" He followed the conductor
into the smoker; the situation was ex-
planned. Mr.. Editor said: "Oh, yes,
recognize him as one of the staff 1t is
all right" =" Before leaving the train the
lawyer again sought the editor: "Why
did you say you recognized me? I'm not
on your paper" 81 am not the editor,
either. I'm travelling on his pass and
was scared to death lest you should give
me away"

Allen G. Thurman's Memory.

"Among men of remarkable memo
ries will give a prominent place to the
Old Roman, Allen g. Thurman" said
Lawyer Mills. ITO mention slight in
cident of his powers! When was asso=
ciated with him in prosecuting what is
known as the tally sheet cases in Ohio,
was peculiarly impressed by the great
ness of Mr.. Thurman, by his strength of
intellect, profusion of thought and mag
nificent accomplishments as a lawyer. I
was also greatly impressed by his fine
scholarship, and have this illustration
of the accuracy of his learning; While
one of the attorneys engaged III the case
referred to was addressing the jury he
professed to make a quotation from
Shakespeare-'to make assurance doubly
sure Mr.. Thurman, with affected in
dignation, turned to me and said, 4
thought he used to be schoolmaster.
I said, Yes well, in that case, he
said, he ought to know better. Shake
speare never said that What do you
mean, judge?' asked i'll surprise. I
mean, said he, that Shakespeare never
wrote "make assurance doubly sure "
What he wrote was "make assurance
double sure. 4" I myself had doubts as
to the correctness of this criticism, but
afterward verified it by examining the
standard editions of Shakespeare. -

OMELET WITH CORN.-Prepare
as you do baked omelet, but at the
last, before putting into the pan,
add a cupful of green corn cut
from the cob. Pour the omelet into
the frying pan containing two table
spoonfuls of butter, and cook,
loosening it constantly from the
bottom with a knife to prevent it's
scorching. When done, double
over and serve.
GREEN CORN PIE.-One quart
of green corn, canned corn will do,
one teacupful of sweet cream, one
heaping tablespoonful of butter,
salt and pepper to taste. Have
ready two nicely stewed chickens,
put a layer of corn in baking
dish and then a layer of chicken,
and so on until all has been put in
the pan, letting the last layer be
corn. Pour over it chicken gravy
and the cream, and bake in a mode
rate oven.

Sweet Peas,

Having just received your July
Magazine must say there are some
very good points of instruction given
to people who raise flowers. Please
allow me space in your. August
number to say few words about
sweet peas, as people are writing
asking what is the trouble with
their peas,-some die out at the
top, and some at the roots. Some
people water their sweet peas when
the hot sun is ON them and the heat
willis them and they die off; some
give them too much water. I do
not believe in soap suds for peas,
as the roots are so tender that the
lye of the suds kills them. I had
a piece of land where wood ashes
had been buried; | sowed sweet
peas on the ground and they came
along nicely till about ready to
form flowers and then they all died,
so that is the result of wood
ashes.
purchased two pounds of sweet
pea seed from you this season. 7
sowed the seed in rows four feet
apart. | made trenches six to eight
inches wide and five inches deep,
and put in three inches of manure,
leaving it two inches below the
level, and then sowed my peas. 1
covered them with about half an
inch of earth. AS they grew 1 kept
drawing the soil up to them until
the peas were four inches high, then
[ put some wire netting, four feet
high, in the middle of each row of
peas for them to cling to. | spray
them four times a week and give
them thorough watering twice a
week when there is no rain. have
the finest lot of sweet peas the
readers of this paper ever wish to
see. The flowers are picked every
other morning, and when we go to
pick them the foliage cannot be
seen for the flowers. They are the
handsomest varities of colors ever
seen, and draw the attention of
people passing. If these methods
are followed the same results will
ensue. | have raised sweet peas
for the last eight years, but never
had the variety of colors that I got
from this lot of Vick's seed. The
varieties are all mixed together,
and think I like them better so
than in separate colors.-Vick's
Magazine.

A simple way to remove grease

Repeat the operation until all the
