WILD MANS DEN.

Found in an Abandoned Jersey Copper Nine.
Arlington. N j., Dee. lo.-The
den of a wild man has been found il
an unused shaft or level of the old
copper mine in North Arlington
Hiss abode vas in Que Of the cave
liks tunnels used in former Years
for ventilation, and over 200 feet
from the caves mouth. The floor
was carpeted with fine brussels car
pet, laid on the hard, dry floor, and
at one side was cooking stove, full
ly equipped with pots and kettles.
Fuel and provisions sufficient for
many weeks were stored in conven
lent rscesses
The discovery was made by Geo
Baylie, mayor of North Arlington.
after long and arduous search
through labyrinth Of passages tha
mark the site of the old mine. May
or Baylis was Informed last night
that some one was living in one of
the old caves, and, as he has lately
been missing live stock f,on
his farm on the brow OF the bill, he
determined to seek the hidin: place
OF the thief and capture him if pos
sible. When he arrived at the cozy
den, the stove still had FIRE in it,
and fragments of breakfast were
scattered about, but the suppose d
thief had fsd.'
For several months past momer .
tary gIimpses have been caught of
half wild man in tho woods about
North Arlington. Children playing
in the roadways would run hons
saying they had seen wild man,
but their parents pooh poohed the
stories. believing that their chill.
dren's alarm was the result of mere
childish fears. Within two weeks,
however, the wild man has been seen
by well-Snowu citizens.
From the hasty search of the
den it was found that the man had
helped himself to poultry and hogs,
and had visited many grararies and
other places for his store of provi.
sions.

The popocrats say, ''pass a free COIN
age law, we only wan6 to put silver
back to where it was In '73." Every
popocratic paper every popocratic
orator howls to go back to '73.
It's so simple, so easy, to go back to
the conditions of twenty-three years
ago. 1t would be easy to cause all
the nations which have demonetlzed
silver to go back to their coinage laws
of '73. Tt would be easy to restrict
tie production of the silver of the
world to one-seventh of the present
output. 1t would be "a simple matter
to destroy the millions of silver that
is in existence from the great increase
in production each year since 1878.
1t would be comparatively simple to
retire all silver and gold and have
only paper money in circulation at
about so cents valuation OH the dol.

increase our national debt about one
half to be back like we were in 1873,
which Of course would be easy. We
should also reduce our per capita
eight dollars or so, to he like we were
in 1873, and we should somehow ahol.
ish the fact that silver dollars had
been anything but a chance curiosity
for twenty or thirty years, as it was
before 1873.
We should not forget, as we'll, that
We must destroy the $3.50, 100000 of
silver coined since 1873.
We must also tell our creditors that
when in 1893, we said we would pay
our debts in gold or money good as
gold, that we were lying. That when
we said we intended to do all that we
could to maintain silver dollars at, a
parity Of 16 To / to gold, that we did
not know what we were talking about.

The Study Of Flowers.

II there could be course of instruction
in horticulture in our common schools in
connection with the study of botany, and
practical demonstration made in grow
ing hardy plants SO that the pupils could
get an idea Of the composition Of soils,
the chemical constituents of plant food,
botany and chemistry would not seem SO
dry to the average boy and girl. If this
practical knowledge could be acquired
in youth much valuable time would be
saved, and our young girls would be
cultivating as we'll as wearing roses.
The woman with a yard that needs adorn-
ing and who Comprehends the possibilities
Of flowers has great happiness within her
grasp. An old plain house may be made
beautiful with climbing roses and the
innumerable ornamental vines offered
by the growers. A shaded nook may be
converted into fernery and the stiff
fence lines be concealed by shrubbery

will inhale the air Of its own lungs, no
matter how cold it's sleeping room.
Don't allow the youngster who is
"enterprisingly strong upon its feet" to
bear it's weight long at time, no matter
how anxious the proud parents may be
to show it off. Remember the danger Of
weakened and twisted legs
Don't allow smoking in the room where
there is very young or q sick baby.
The thoughtful father will never smoke
in the same room with the children, but
even the thoughtless ones should be made
to realize it's hsrmfulness in the former
cases.
Don't fail to keep the children's feet
dry and warmly clad in winter and wet
weather; for the circulation is feebler at
the extremities than elsewhere.
Don't forget that protecting the chest
is also important at this season, If we
would ward off troublesome colds from
the little tots. And their habits of life
should be regular-the meals, the hour
Of rest and the hour Of rising should all
be timed.
Don't neglect the bsby's scalp. It
should never be allowed to become
scurfy. If 1t should become very dirty
or.scaly, apply yolk of egg thoroughly
with the fingers, and after leaving it on
for tune, wash with warm soapy water,
use finetooth comb very gently, and
then brush until thoroughly clean.
Don't forget to offer pure cold water
to the baby occasionally. The milk is
for food, and is not sufficient to quench
the thirst Of the little one.
Don't include rich pastry, rich pre-
serves and confectionery, spices or storing
condiments or Stimulants in q ohild's

Kindness to Cows.

The long domestication Of the cow and
the large demand made upon her has
in some cases directed almost her entire
vitality into the production Of milk as il
for her progeny. Cows selected especially
for the dairy are Of this kind, and they
must have cultivated along with this
unselfsh giving Of themselves for others,
habit Of kindness amounting almost to
love for those for whom they live. This
would be directly expressed to their own
offspring and would DO reciprocsted were
not the kindness Of the COW by artificial
means directed into the channel Of
supporting the human mixer, instead Of
her own progeny; hence, the best dairy
COWS are Of a kindly disposition and
express their kindness in their constant
effort to supply the demand made upon
them. This naturally expects and
deserves reciprocation on the part Of
those who are benefited by her unselfsh
life.
The dairyman who has this proper
love for his COWS will think nothing too
much trouble that he can do for the
comfort Of his COWS. And happily in
this case as in all others, 1t pays to be
kind, for COWS have brains, and kindly
emotions, if properly cultivated.
Herein may be found the apparent
hidden cause why one mixer can get
more milk and more butter from the
save COW than others can, and that the
one who gets the most milk and butter
is not always the best mixer when
judged by his skill; buthe is neverthe-
less the best mixer for that cow, because
she likes him the best; his touch and
manner have in them kindness which
puts her in humor to give him all her
milk and to give it in the best possible
condltion.-FGrm Ne0OS.

Uses Of Sweet Oil.

A bottle of sweet oil is the housewives
friend. Few know Of the many uses to
which it may be put. 1t will clean
bronzes; after rubbing them with oil,
they should be polished with chamois
skin. In laying knives away, apply
little sweet oil very lightly and wrap
them in tissue paper; this will prevent
their rusting. For inhsmmatory rheu-
matism dissolve in pint of sweep oil
one ounce Of pulverized saltpetre, and
thoroughly rub the parts affected. Sweet
oil will clean metals; rub the metal we'll
with flannel cloth and wash off in
warm sOapsuds. A bottle containing
two parts Of oil to one of lime water will
be found excellent for sunburn.

baby, and many are harmful; strong tea
and coffee should be included in this
list.
Don't forget to air the children's night

great thoroughness every day. And to
turn their day clothes inside out and
hang them up to air at night, so that
they will be fresh and sweet in the

Origin of Mrs. Grundy.

How many who daily use the name of
Mrs. Grundy have any idea of her origin?
1t is generally believed that Dickens was
somehow responsible for her, but writer
in the Dundee Ad0ertiSer points out that
this is an utter mistake. The real
creator of Mrs. Grundy was Thomas
Morton, the dramatist (born 1764, died
1885, the father of the author of Box
and Cox, and she is referred to in his
comedy, speed the Plough" which
was first performedin 1898. Mrs. Grundy
is not a character in that play; she is
merely mysterious parsonage whom
Dame Ashfeld, the farmers wife, con-
stantly quotes, much in the same way
as Sairey Camp alludes to Mrs. Harris.
