A Touching Story. .

"No, l won't drink with you to-day,
boys" said drummer to several compan-
ions, as they settled down In q smoking
car and passed the bottle "The fact &,
boys, l have quiz drinking. I've sworn
on"
whats the matter with you, old boy?"
sang out one. "If you've quit drinking,
something's up. What is it?"
well, boys, will tell you. Yesterday
was in Chicago. Down in South Clark
street customer Of mine keeps q pawn
shop In connection with his other business.
l called on him, and while / was there
young man Of not more than twenty-five,
wearing threadbare clothes and looking as
hard a9 though he hadn't seen O sober day
for month, came in with package in his
hand, He unwrappedi it and handed the
article to the pawnbroker, saying, Give
me ten cents. And, boys, what do you
suppose it was2 A pair OF baby shoes; lit
tie things, with the bottoms only trifle
soiled, as If they had been worn only once
or twice. Where did you get these?i asked
the pawnbroker. Got 'em at home re-
piled the man, who had an intelligent face
and the manner OF a gentleman, despite his
condition. My wife bought them for our
baby. Give me ten cents for 'em-I want a
drink You had better take the shoes
back to your wife; the baby will need them,
said the pawnbroker. NO, s-she won't, be-
cause she's dead. She's lying at home now
died last night As he said this, the
poor fellow broke down, bowed his head on
the show case and cried like q child. Boys" I"
said the drummer, 'you may laugh il you
please, but II have baby at home, and !
swear I'll never touch another drop"

Your trouble in having mildew come
on your gooseberry vines soon after
they begin to bear is, we think, in
separable from our American climate,
which is much too warm for this fruit.
English gooseberries invariably mil
dew here, though free from mildew in
the moist, cool summers in England.
1t is an old saying that the gooseberry
and the grape vine never succeed in
the same localities. If it is cool enough
in summer for the gooseberry the
grape will not ripen There have been
several kinds of American gooseberries
that were proclaimed as mildew proof.
But after two or three years of bear
ing mildew usually appears. 1t may
be that lack of mineral plant food, and
especially of potash, is the melting
cause of mildew. The gooseberry is
n very prolific bearer and uses up pot
ash rapidly. If it is in moist, cool
ground all the potash the soil contains
is available If the soil be dry and
warm what potash the soil may have is
locked up and the leaves cannot get
the nutrition they require to keep up
healthful growth. Gooseberry bushes
should be heavily mulched during the
summer. That will keep the soil moist
and cool 1t will be well also to put
some wood ashes under the mulch so
as to hold the moisture, and also to be
dissolved by it for the plant roots. 1t
is worth while also to spray with Bor-
deaux mixture or some other fungi

One morning this spring when
Farmer NJ went out 10 feed his
poultry, he found one of his best hens
lying dead in front Of her henroost
door and he knew she had come TO
her death tragically because she was
headless.
In great indignation he set steel
trap that night, and the next morning
he found a great owl trying his best to
free his foot from the yise-like clinch
of the trap.
"Ah, Ia! my rascal, I've got You, A"
he cried, and would have dispatched
him then and there, but the bird was
such a monster that the farmer deter
mined to keep him on exhibition for a
few days that his neighbors might be-
hold the curiosity and know what a
famous trapper lac himself was, 50 he
released the poor foot aud placed the
''yarmint, as he called it, in Il Slated
box.
Now this owl was almost as large As
an eagle, and seemed very old, since
he had row of feathers uador his
chin reaching from ear 10 ear. which
he could ruiile up or lower at his pleas
ure, giving him the appearance come
what of an old man with whiskers.

FruIt and Grnss stains.

As the season of fruit aud grass
stains is upon us with various and
often troublesome remedies recon-
Tnended for the same, it is agreeable
No be assured that, as n general rule,
1t is safe plan to try the effect of
pure water upon a stain before using
chemicals. Most fruit stains, for ex-
ample, can be easily removed by hold
ing the stained portion over n vessel
and pouring boiling water directly
through it. This is a much better
method than soaking the article, as it
prevents the stain from spreading.
Another way is to rub the stain with
alcohol, before putting it into the
water, and still another to apply a
little salts of lemon, letting it stand
for few hours, when it should be
washed off in clear water. This, by
the way, is an excellent receipt for the
removal of ink spots, though in oil
cases the stain will yield more readily
to treatment if it be taken in hand as
soon as it is made.
Grass stains may be removed by
rubbing with alcohol, and iron rust
by immersion in hot solution of
oxalic acid, followed by rinsing in
ammonia water.

Preventing Swarms.

Swarming is great annoyance when
we don't want it, and with little
manipulation we can prevent it. Bees
will not swarm except queen cells are
present. At any rate it would be a
very rare exception; indeed, SO rare
that we need not provide for it,
Plenty of storage room is good
preventive, and it is the first thing to
use. Secondly, the removal of queen
cells. If bees have the swarming fever
they will construct queen cells every
eight days; that is, they will be-
gin queen cells, and at the end of
eight days they are due to swarm so
that it is necessary to go through the
hives once every eight days and re-
move the cells.
If we wish them to swarm once, but
no more; then, after the first swarm
issues, take out all queen cells but
one.
If you wish to prevent the loss of
swarms, or in other words prevent
swarming or increases, it may be done
by clipping the wings of the queen, al
though you stand chance of losing
the queen. Clipped queens will Issue
from the hive with the swarm, but as
she cannot take wing, the swarm re-
turns to the hives. In, perhaps, most
cases, the queen will find her way
back, but in many cases she does not,
and of course is lost.
Old queens are more liable to pro-
duce swarming than young ones, and
at the same time are not near so pro
life, hence it never pays so well to re-
tain old queens. Farm, Field and

To ask a man long accustomed TO wine
and beer to abstain totally from such bey-
erages Is to require quite sacrifice. But
1t seems prudent, in view of what the doe
tors say, to train up the new generation In
such manner that, not having formed the
habit OF beer-drlnking, they will experience
no craving for alcohol.
am far from saying, remarks temper
ance lecturer, that moderate drinking is
always unhealthy; but l simply echo the
unanimous statement OF physicians when /
ahirm that total abstinence Is more health
ful than even moderate drinking. The
total abstainer is favored more than any
other person by the life insurance com
panies; his head Is clear, his heart beats
steadily, not being excited by alcohol; his
vital functions work regularly aud normally,
and when he gets sick no Is easily cured.
Accidents apart, no lives TO good old age.
Alcoholism is distinctive disease possess
ing It's own etiology, ,symptomatology, path
ology etc. A cure can not be effected by
will power or any other agent except the
relieving ot the system Of the alcoholic inn
preston. In many cases by will power
alone man is enabled to hold tho disease
In abeyanee. That requires the constant
exercise OF will power, so that when the
will power, 50 to speak, is diverted In other
| directions, the alcoholic influences or ap-
| petite having full sway would cause re-
/ lapse.
The doctors say alcohol doesn't do a mar
any good; the moralists say that It lead
him into temptations. Wisdom woulC
therefore urge that our boys be brought al
total abstainers.

Many were the visitors that looked at
him and poked him with sticks through
the Slated box, so enraging him that
every feather stood on end, and he
cracked his enormous bill as though
he were gritting bis teeth.
But what to feed him with? "Why,
chicken, of course" said the farmers
wife, and dead chicken was thrown
into the box. The owl never touched
it, though it lay by his side night and
day. Then somebody suggested rats
and MICE" and a neighbor brought
over deaf rat, which the owl dis
patched with great relish.
In another night OF two another hen
was found dead like the first Was
there another owl in the vicinity?
and the farmer decided to sit up
through the night with a loaded gun.
1t was n long, tedious wait, but in
the small hours of the morning there
was stir among the poultry, and n
long, slim-bodied weasel ran out of the
roost, dragging hen by her head in
such way that she could make no
noise. In an instant the farmer pulled
the trigger of his gun, and both hen
and weasel lay on the ground dead.
The weasel and the hen were both
placed in the OWLS box, and while he
paid no heed to the hen, he pounced
upon the weasel with evident delight,
pecling him fercely ON the head be-
fore dispatching him.
Then light broke in upon the
farmer, and he said, addressing him
self to the owl, my poor fellow, 1
have wronged you, for you were my
friend all the time, and l never knew
it. 1t was you who saw that misera-
BILE weasel prowling around when all
the rest of us were asleep, and trying
to catch it you got caught yourself.
My feathered friend, beg your par
don. Tomorrow you shall have your
liberty" and the farmer kept his
word.
The owl seemed very patriarch
in size and strength, and was what is
known as the Great Horned Owl (Bubo
Virginianus), the most remarkable in
North America, and almost as large
as the golden eagle. He was supposed
to have been about fifty years old.
Farmer M is not the only one
who has found out that owls are
friends to man aud not foes, for the
rats and mice they destroy every year
around farmers barn and granaries
are of inestimable advantage to him.
Moral-Be sure you have the right
fellow before you execute him.-Mrs.
A. L. G. Maskell, in the New York
Tribune.

Durability Of the yellow Alaska Cedar.
The durability Of this timber Is
forcibly illustrated by fallen trunks
that are perfectly sound after lying in
the damp woods for centuries. Soon
after these trees fall they are over
grown with moss, in which seeds lodge
and germinate and grow up into vigor-
ous saplings, which stand in -ow on
She backs of their dead ancestors. OF
this company Of young trees perhaps
three or four will grow to full stature,
sending down straddling roots on each
side, and establishing themselves in
the soil; and after they have reached
an age of two or three hundred years,
the downtrodden trunk on which they
are standing, when cut into, is found
as fresh in the heart as when it fell

Bits of Hou.ehold Wisdom.

Some bits of wisdom CLEANED from a
cooking-school examination are: That
croquettes will break open if the fat is
not hot enough, if too many are in at
one time, if they are not thoroughly
coated with egg, and if they are too
large. That the proper proportions
of ice and salt TO freeze cream or ice
are: One part salt to three parts ice;
too much salt makes ice cream coarse
grained and soft. That the correct
way to boil eggs is to place them in
cold water and bring it slowly to the
boil. That to tell when custard is
cooked and baked one must insert a
spoon; the cooked custard will coat the
spoon; baked custard will not cling
to a spoon passed through it. A test
for frying is to put piece of bread in
the lard, and if it browns while forty
can be counted, twenty for each
side, the lard is hot enough for cooked
foods, like croquettes and the like; it
will take the counting of sixty, thirty
to each side, for uncooked foods. A
spoon to serve peas with has long
graceful vine-like handle, which ends
in an open pod, showing row of peas
in green enamel The bowl, which is
shallow and perforated, is in leaf
design.

There is a growing demand for
Georgia pine lands and their value is
on the increase. Recently a number
Of inquiries from Iowa and Minnesota
have been received from parties de-
string to purchase. Besides the first
class qualities of the Georgia pine
these pinery wood lands produce
eyerything-cotton, corn, small grain,
sugar cane, sweet potatoes and Irish
potatoes, while the fruit-pears,
plums, melons, grapes, figs, apples,
ounces, all grow luxuriantly. In
this connection "piue palace" is
projected at the coming Omaha ex.
position. As its name implies, this is
to be a Georgia building of Georgia
pine, in which Georgia's exhibits
shall be made Baltimore Sun.

THE QUEENS DOGS.
Great Brltain's Sovereign is Fond of Pet
of all Kinds.

of all Kinds.
There is no one fonder Of dogs and
horses than Queen Victoria. One of
the most interesting parts to her of
all Windsor Castle is that in which
the kennels stand. Here the Queens
splendid collection of dogs are housed.
Every one of the sixty animals has its
own residence, this being q little
apartment fourteen or fifteen feet
square, with a neat tiled yard in front
| the same size.
Every day a new bed of straw is
laid down for these fortunate pets,
and a large bath is placed near at
hand in which the dogs perform their
daily ablutions, and to reach it they
walk down a tiled path, which is called
the Queens Walk" When the "tub-
bing" is over the animals betake them
selves to a drying shed in the pad
dock to which the pond or bath is sit
uated; and in another corner there is
plot called the "Apron Piece, 4"
where in former days the Queen used
to sit and watch and pet the animals.
Her Majesty never forgets the name
and history of any of her dogs or
horses, some of which are very valua-
bic, as they have been presented to
the Queen by other sovereigns or by
distinguished travellers. There are
three or four dogs which always ac-
company their royal mistress wher-
ever she goes, these being funny lit
tie red Spitz dog called "AIarco," q
terrier named "Spot" and one or two
others, says Answers.
The dogs who live in the kennels
have several keepers aud attendants,
who take them for their daily walk.
They go out in patches of two, and it
is funny sight to see them when they
return home, each walking into his or
her particular kennel, so gravely and
sedately do they march back. The
animals are beautifully kept, and at
any moment the summons may come
from the castle that the royal lady
wants one or another to be brought
for her inspection. Her Majesty has
statuettes in silver or bronze made of
nearly all her pets, whether they be
horses, dog7, cows or her favorite
nol, victor, who resides at the Zoo
Detroit Free Press.
