New York, July 3.-In little more
shan two months Mrs. David DE Costa
Andrade played a part on the shifting
stage Of the world which occupies most
Iuckless women during half life time
She was married in April; she was
tempted in May; I'm June she ruined
her husbands life and disgraced her,
own name forever. Her husband, her
mother and her friends are now looking
for her in vain.
Laura Miller, the bright-eyed daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Miller OF
Greenwood avenue, Brooklyn, grew up
to be such a winsome young woman
that the gossips of the neighborho6d
were busy guessing which OF her many
suitors would win her. When young
David Andrade, sterling school teach
er. was found 10 be the first at the
goal of Miss Miller's heart, the news
was regarded as of the best, for he
was very worthy.
The wedding day came on April II.
Many preparations had been mag,
many guests came to the feast, nun
dred friends sent gifts, and the night
was made Joyous. Not a soul was
there who did not prophesy sincerely
long life and happiness for the couple.
There was not the shadow of the
blight which was to fall so quickly up
on their fortunes. The wedding jour
ney and the honeymoon over, Mr.. ara
Mrs. Andrade went TO live at No ~
Fourth avenue, Brooklyn.
What seed had been sown In thPt
mast before he knew her was beyond fhe
ken of young Andrade, who was snort
ly to face a series of acts on the part
of his wife such as he could never
have dreamed
His occupation kept him at his work
late into the night. There was oppor-
tunity for the young wires Vagarles,
but the husband for month ala not
know that she went away In the early
hours @ fthe evening to return In time
10 greet him when, weary from his IA
bors. he crossed the threshold of his
home. Besides, he never suspected:
II was only when some friend had
whispered something in his ear that mis-
own eyes told him the truth.
He was astonished TO find when ne
upbraided her that she showed no
shame.
The wilful wife's actions took on the
hue Of recklessness. She was oftt
seen in the Ladies' Tonsorial Parlor.
which, while an entirely respectapie
place. showed her unrestrained humors
between Mr.. and Mrs. Andrade. TIE
husband at last spoke his mind. The
next day Andrade went sternly abou'
his work. When he returned at nigh
his wife was not in the house. 1ei
trunks were gone. The end had come
Andrade, stunned, hopeless, went tC
the house of his wife's parents. TheS
were grieved beyond measure. TIL,
mother wept in hysteria. The father
raqed against his offspring.
Andrade packed up the householC
goods and ornaments he had bestowed
upon the woman, and sent them TO 81
auctioneer.
Rid of these reminders or desertloi
he visited his lawyer and said he WISH
ed 10 sever the bonds the law had tieS
with him.
No one-husband. mother, father o
friend-knows whittier the wretche'
woman has taken herself.

When an Animal L. Ripe.

How shall we know when an animal
is ripe? An experienced eye and hand
can tell this, says the Stockman. When
steer is fully ripe his flesh is firm.
When the finger tips are pressed
against the muscles of the ANNA there
is less of yielding and softness than in
the half-fnished animal. The shoulder
blade, the loin and the pin bone will
have an appearance of plumpness all
over them. The weigh scales will also
tell tale. When the steer is not ripe
he should go on making the usual gains.
When he is ripe the gains will drop.
When a beast, therefore, that has been
gaining two or three pounds day
drops down to one pound day, and his
appetite is still good, begin to examine
him for ripeness. 1t is one of the Gu
rious things about the animal economy
that a cattle beast will go on and eat
after he is rips, but he will not make
a corresponding increase lin weight.
1t is curious question as to what be-
comes of the food.

MANURE EXPERIENCE.
An Old and Universally Accepted
Theory Assailed by a Success
full Farmer.

There is quite good deal in the
agricultural papers about handling
manure, and when and how to apply it.
I have been a farmer a good many
years and have practiced drawing ma
nure from the stable as fast as it is
made through the winter until the
ground broke up in the spring. What
was made after that lay in heaps in
the yard until fall, and then was
hauled on to, the next years corn
ground and spread as it was drawn.
Some writer's claim that manure ex-
posed to the sun and rain will lose q
large portion of its value if left in that
condition any length of time. Now I
am going to dispute the truth of their
theory, but if any of those writer's will
take the trouble to visit me next sum-
mer will take them to my corn field
and they can see for themselves the diff
ference between the winter and fall
drawn in the growing corn. And
have another palmer proof, if possible,
that manure will not lose its strength
to the extent that some writer's claim.
When l came on the farm l now own
A years ago it had been worked on
shares for number of years. The man
had kept no stock. except a team and
cow or two on the place. He did his
tkreshing and threw the straw out of
the barn without stacking it, and this
he did year after year. When came to
the place there was big pile of straw
that had lain some of it for years eX-
posed to all sorts of weather, and it
looked as if there were no strength in
it, and 1 did not think there was, but
we wanted it away from the barn. and
we drew it on a piece of ground that we
had moved, which did not yield 300
pounds of hay to the acre. When we
went to work at the stuff it was all
dried in chunks as big as ones hat.
and we couldn't get it to pieces. but did
the best we could. It didn't make any
difference, as we thought it was of no
account, but we drew it all out and put
on the the above named piece of
ground. This was in the fall, and now
for the result. The next spring when
the ground settled and the grass began
to grow we began to see the effect Of
the old dried-up' straw, and when we
moved it we found gross as big as could
stand and as thick as hairs on a dog,
while the rest of the field remained as
it was. I am not going to theorize or
explain anything about it. merely give
facts and leave it for others to talk
about.-T. Drew, in National Stock,

MISSING VACANCIES.
Were Held by the Agent
for CharGea.

A short time since quite discussion arose
among the officials of one of our prominent
southern railroads as to the reason of the
many vexatious delays and troubles in the
transmission of local freight. 1t was claimed
by some Of the parties interested that it was
caused almost entirely by the stupidity or
inefdciency Of the local agents, and as there
was some difference of opinion on this point,
1t was decided that the matter should be
tested.
To this end tracer was prepared in due
and formal shape, calling for the where
abouts of Zone Box of Post holes" which it
alleged was missing from prior shipment.
This was sent out in the regular order OF
business, with nothing except its "internal
nothingness" to draw attention to it's un.
usual character, and passed agent after

ton save the stereotyped Endorsement:
Some Is or 10 local agents were actually
passed in this way, until the tracer fell
into the hands of bright young fellow
who was accustomed to looking into the
business passing through his hands, and
who speedily came to the conclusion that
the tracer had gone far enough. At any
rate the document went speedily back to
the general Office with the following in.

Young Grass Is Injurious.

When young grass, rye Or oats is
cut before making much growth it is
watery and contains but little nutri-
ton, too much of such food, causing
the hens to have "scours." Many per-
sons have been disappointed in confin-
ing their hens on young rye as an ex-
elusive food. 1t is excellent as diet
airy food, but all very young grass is
mostly water. 1t is not best to cut such
for winter use, and if early. oats are
grown. and the crop cut when the
grain is in the milky stage. the rutri-
tive matter, on its way to fill out the
grain, will be arrested in the stalk. SO
that when cured. the whole stalk with
grain) stored in the barn, and cut fine
with cutter. will make excellent food
for the hens in winter. The oats should
be cut green, just as the seed-heads be-
gin to form.-Farm and Fireside

WISE EHINEsE GOOSE.
1t Made . Big Reputation In the Sec.
ton of the Country Where
It's Trainer Lived.

Geese and pigs are the easiest of the
small animals to teach. So good ami
NAL trainers say. 1t sounds queer, for
geese have the reputation of being
silly, and pigs of being stupid, but they
must be treated more respectfully if the
mental ability to learn is conceded to
them.
A Mr.. Wilson, of Troutman, Pa, re-
Gently taught a goose his letters, and
describes how he conducted the ami
mails education:
II was engineer in a big natural gas
plant at the time, and was busy all day
about the engines. So only had the
nights to educate my goose. The goose
was given to me by friend. He was
of the kind known as Chinese. They
are larger than common geese, nearly
as large as swans. The one he gave me
was a young one, about eight or nine
months old.
81 carried my goose home and tied
him in the cellar of the building where
I worked. Didn't give him anything to
eat. This was part of his education.
"The next day bought a set of chill
dren's toy blocks, with the alphabet
and numbers upon them. I cut strips
