Useless Expense.

What would be thought of a man
who dug up wagon load of earth from
his potato rows and hauled to market
ten bushels of earth with every bushel
of potatoes? What about the gardener
who would cut down stalk of sweet
corn and haul it all to market when he
might have snapped off the ear and car
ried that alone? Such men do not
show good sense, yet how much worse
are they than the man who sends whole
milk to the creamery? The market
man does not want the earth-he wants
potatoes. The grocer has no use for
the stalk, and the creamery man often
does not know what to do with the
skim milk. The man who gets the
most out of it is the milk hauler who is
paid for hauling useless water to the
creamery. In some parts of the cOun-
try these milk haulers seem TO control
the situation, and both farmer and
creamery men pay tribute to them. 1t
is no more scientific to separate the
cream at home and send it alone to the
creamery than it is to separate the pc
tatoes from the dirt. 1t seems strange
that dairy farmers do not understand
what they lose through failure to keep
the skim milk Fat home and send only
the cream away from the farm.-Rural
New Yorker.

A Library in Itself.

Few people are able to buy as many
books as they would like, yet it is pos
sible without them to keep in touch
with all the leaders of literature, as
we'll as TO follow the worlds progress
in every department of science and in
dustry. The Youths Companion al
ready provides the means for more
than half million househ olds-at an
expense to each of S1.75 year. Every
issue of the Companion gives as much
reading matter as a 12mo book of It's
pages, and the Companion comes every
week. The quality of its contents is
shown by the announcement for 1898,
which promises contributions next year
from the Rt. Hon. w. E. Gladstone,
Rudyard Kipling, Speaker Reed, Capt.
A. T. Mahan, Mary E. Wilkins, ". D.
Howells, Lieutenant Peary, the Mar
quis of Dufferin, Senator Hoar, Justin
Mccarthy and more than two hundred
other eminent men and women. All
new subscribers for 1898 will receive
the Companions gold-embossed calen-
dar, beautifully printed in twelve col
ors, and the paper will also be sent free
from the time the subscription is re-
ceived until January, 1898, and then
for full year to January, 1899. A
handsome illustrated prospectus of the
volume for 1898 will be sent to any one
addressing The Youths Companion,

Deaden Railroad Noise.

German brain has devised an anti
noise invention, which would be god
send to New York, one of the noisest
cities in this noisy world. 1t is iron
felt, and Berlin and Leipsic are de-
lighted with it. 1t is made of wooden
materials impregnated with patented
preparation, which gives 1t resistance
of 1900 pounds TO every square cent?
meter (0.3937 inch). Railroads of all
kinds can use it to great advantage, for
not only does it deaden sound and pre-
vent shock, but it diminisbes materially
the wear and tear on the rolling stock
and on the roadbed. 1t is placed be-
tween the rails and the sleepers.
The first experiments were made by
the Berlin City railroad, over which
$50 trains pass each day. The results
were gratifying in the highest degree.
1t is to be tried now on the new roads
in Leipsic. II is said to be specially
adapted for elevated roads.--New York

HOTEL SAN MARCO, one Of the finest and
most commodious hotels in St. Angus
tine, Fla, was burned to the ground last
Monday week, entaiing loss of about
$3.50 600, with less than $4,000 insurance.
The fire originated in the woodshed. and
was ofincendiary origin. The flames spread
from the woodshed to the boiler room, then
to the kitchen, the dining room and the
theater. These structures were three sto-
res high, and to the west of, but connected
with the main building, which was six
stories high, with towers in the center on
each wing. Hundreds of men assisted in
removing the furniture from the main floor
and large quantity was taken out, the
floor being almost entirely bare before the
fire drove the workers away.

AFTER being on trial three days Joseph
E. Kelley the murderer of Joseph A. Stick
ney, the aged bank cashier OF the Great
Falls National Bank OF SomersWorth, n.
H., retracted his plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to murder, throwing himself
upon the mercy of the court. The proceed
ing caused profound sensation. The court
room was packed with spectators who had
eagerly crowded into the limited space re-
served for them, anxious to hear the open
ing testimony for the defense, which was
expected to come that morning. 1t had
been called to the attention OF the court
that Kelley desired to retract his plea, but
the first intimation the spectators had OF the
unexpected movement was given when
Clerk Durgin asked the prisoner to arise.
Clerk Durgin then stated that 1t was under
stood that the defendant desired to be heard
again by the court, as to his guilt or inno-
cence. Kelley then arose. A stir OF ex-
element passed through the court room, as
Kelley began to address the court. He
said: "Your Honors: his question OF re-
tracing OF my plea all remains with your
honors; if you will fix the date of my exc
cution on the 10th of January, 1899 then,
your honors, retract my plea and plead
guilty to the charge of murder. l plead
guilty of murder" he repeated, in voice
distinct and unmovable by emotion. Upon
nearing Kelley's statement, the court de.
cided that the jury should be discharged
and that the court would hear further evil
dence in the case to determine the degree.
Later-Kelley was found guilty OF murder
in the second degree, and was sentenced to
the state prison at Concord for thirty years
