A story was recently started by the
newspapers, relates the Trenton IN.
J.) American, to the effect that Mrs.
Cleveland had melted the spoons in the
White House which had been used by
Dolly Madison and had had the silver
made into prettier spoons. The story
was circumstantial one, going on ut
much length TO state that the silver
smith had offered their weight in gold
for the spoons, but that Mrs, C!eye'
land rejected the offer, sent the spoons
to the mint, had them melted into in
gots, and then required an affidavit of
the silversmith that the same silver was
put into the new spoons. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say that the story was
made out of the whole cloth. 1t was
promptly denied at the White House,
and the declaration was made that the
Dolly Madison spoons are still there.
The denial has not kept pace, however,
with the original story, which is still
going the rounds of the press.

Making Vinegar From Honey.

The experiment of making vinegar
from honey has been tried in Europe,
and, as might be expected, was sue
cessful. Water was added to the
honey, which, when in the first stage,
made palatable alcoholic drink,
which has long been known under the
name of metheglin. OF course, when
this fermentation progressed to its
final stage it became vinegar. But
some American experimenters with
honey vinegar have found that it pos.
sessed peculiar properties. A writer
in American Bee Gleanings says that
this honey vinegar is absolutely worth.

ton. Why? 1t is evidently because
of this hardening process, which pre-
vents the digestive fluids from pene'
trating it. Honey is nectar Of flowers
mixed with gastric juices Of the bee
which digests its food. 1t is likely,
therefore, that vinegar from honey viii
not be injurious to digestion. If the
honey remains in condition to softer
vegetables immersed in it, that is just
what is needed to be done for food in
the stomach to aid digestion.

Ignatius Donnelly says the great
foods are caused by sun spots. Why
the sun spots, which must exercise an
equal influence on the entire circuit of
the globe every twenty-four hours,
should cause the Mississippi to burst
its banks and leave the Rhine, Danube
or Volga practically undisturbed, may
not be very clear. But since Mr..
Donnelly has said it, it is evident the
planting forests or building levees on
a broader plan is of no use. The only
way to cure the floods, suggests the
New Orleans Picayune, is to knock the
spots off the sun.

The few oafers on the piers eye
curiously the tall, elegant woman who
has come ashore.
She, casting half scornful glance
about, approaches old Jed Rawson,
and puts this query:
Can l hire any one to take me
across the fiver?"
II reckon not" declares old Jed,
taking ont his pipe to stare at her
with astonishment. "The steamer
goes into port jest below here ter wait
fer the fog ter lift. Thar's no gittin
across the river ter might, marm!
Can You manage boat, my good
man."
All the loafers smiled at this. Old
Jed breaks into mellow laugh which
sends perfect network of wrinkles
over his brown face.
"Why, Teddy" he says, "there amt
nary boy of ten or up'ard alongshore
as don't know how to handle boat"
The lady laughs, too. She is very
charming; even old Jed realizes that.
She takes a gold piece from her dainty
purse and says:
IF you will take me and my trunk
across the river, this shall he yours"
The trunk is huge affair and jed
looks at it with one eye closed and
shakes his head.
IF it warn't fer the fog, marin.
eny one on us 'ud take yer acrost fer
nothing. But we couldn't see the
boats length tonight"
The lady utters sharp exclamation,
anger and disappointment clouding
ler features. A brown-faced lad steps
rom the corner of the little red bag
gage house where he has been stand
ng.
If you dare to 60, madam, l will
:ake you" he says.
She gives him radiant smile at
which he tlushes to the roots of his
'a;r, waving hair
Jed and one or two of the other men
demonstrated with him to no purpose.
A small brown wherry is brought up
20 the fight of weather beaten steps
eading down from one side of the
wharf
The big trunk is lowered into it, and
he lady handed down by Andrew
Russell, who is thrilled by the touch of
Ter cool, satiny fingers. He pulls off
nto the fog bank while the loungers
IN the wharf make their comments.
Mighty fine looking craft that"
Carries too much sail"
"What can she want over the river?"
"P'haps she's bound for Barring
tons.
"P'haps. She looks like his kind"
1t is late in the evening when
Andrew Russell returns. Old Jed
meets him hurrying up the village
street
"Well, Andrew, you got across all
.ight?"
"Yes, I had a compass"
"Where'd she go?"
81 can't tell you" is the curt reply,
Is the boy passes on.
All subsequent inquiries elicit no
'urther information than that Andrew
landed her at the road which leads up
by Barrington's, and that she expected
some sort of conveyance to come for
her there.
Darlington is reported to be i'm
nensely wealthy. He never mingles
with the people there, and he lives in
The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1897-06-03

q lordly fashion. He brings his own
company from distant parts, and there
are stories of gay and wild doings at
the great house which fill the unso-
phisticated natives with amazement.
He comes and goes as he likes, and
is altogether very mysterious.
Andrew Russell has sweetheart on
that side of the river-pretty Jen
Hardy, the tisherman's daughter.
1t is only natural that frequently
he should row across in his wherry.
But Jen Hardy does not see him
every time he goes during the next
fortnight. He tramps through n strip
of woodland across lots until he
reaches sheltered vale this side of
Barrington's.
Here he meets the mysterious lady
again and again. Andrew is twenty
tall, strong and manly looking.
Cars Ferris, as she calls herself, uses
all her Establishments to complete his
enthralment. She tells him Il pretty
story How that her uncle is de-
termined to make a nun of her. That
Darlington, being her cousin and
friend, she has come to him for pro-
lection, until she can get out of the
country.
She wants to go to Europe, for as
soon as her uncle discovers her hid
ing place he will follow her. She is
apparently very contiding with An
drew, who is too innocent to see the
flaws in her story. Would he think
she was twenty-fve?" she asked CO.
quettishly.
~ Andrew returns decided negative,
never once dreaming that she is ten
years older Jen Hardy is too proud
to own that Andrew does not come to
see her any more. Andrew has no
mother, and his father, who is not n
very clear-siShted man, sees no change
in his boy, who is moody or exalted
by fits.
In two weeks time Andrew i'm
agines himself madly in love with
this woman. He does not stop to
reason over the absurdity of so bril-
liant creature finding any attraction
in an ignorant boy like himself.
One night he goes home intoxi-
Gated by the memory of round white
arm about his neck, and the pressure
of soft, warm lips to his own. A
week later, one hour before midnight,
he crosses the river in his little brown
wherry.
On the big rock which serves for
pier, man and woman await him.
Darlington carries a valise in each
hand. They enter the wherry, and
Andrew pulls swiftly and silently down
the river. In about an hour they come
to small cove, where commodious
sailboat is tied to n ring in the rocky,
shelving bank.
They 60 aboard this, the little
wherry is fastened astern, the sails are
unfurled, and on they so dancing light
ly out into the waters of the bay.
At nightfall of the next day they
come to great city. harrington and
the lady 60 ashore. Some purchases
are to be made here, and Darlington is
to see man who will buy the boat
this is what they have told Andrew.
In the meantime he is to wait here
with the boat until their return, when
they will all go aboard the great ocean
steamship whose black tunnels rise
from neighboring wharf.
Andrew is not particularly pleased
that Darlington is to accompany them,
but nothing can dampen the Joy of his
belief that she loves him, and he can
never forget that her lips have touched
his own. The poor boy is quite daft
for the time, and does not dream that
he is being duped.

A writer in Public Opinion observ

A writer in Public Opinion observes:
"The French and Germans have fre.
quently made much fuss about alleged
trichina in our pork, and pretended
that other of our exports, that they
wanted an excuse for excluding, were
adulterated; and all the time the peo.
pie of those nations have sent over
here liquid poison, in the shape of
wines, brandies, beer, ale, ETC., and
their confections have been notorious
for containing deleterious ingredients.
Both the German and French wines
and food articles-candies, etc.-are
shamelessly adulterated, and often
with materials that are dangerous to
health. Not six months ago the
chemists of the British Board of Trade
tested long list of German, French,
American and British food and drink
materials. The revelations were de.
cidedly favorable to the American ar.
ticles, and much to the discredit OF
German and French honesty. Several
of the German food articles were
found mixed with stuff dangerous to
health, and all the French and German
wines were discovered tc be about as
bad as bad could be.

State Normal Schools will be
named on Friday. For the first

board, and were they to follow

predecessors they would appoint
six Republicans as principals
We are happy to state, however,
that the board is composed of
men who have a deep interest in
the schools, and we should not
be surprisedit to see them divide
up and give our Democratic
