The Old Home Haunts.

There's a sound that rings in my ears today,
That echoes in vague refrain,
The ripple Of water DER smooth washed clay
Where the wall.eyed pike and the black bass
play,
That makes me yearn, in quiet way,
For my old fy-rod again
Back to the old home haupts again.
Back where the clear lake lies;
Back through the woods
Where the blackbird broods
Back to my rod and flies.
I'm longing to paddle the boat to-day,
Through water logged grass and reeds;
Where the musk-rat swims, and the cattails
sway;
Where the air is cool, and the mist is gray;
Where ripples dance in the same old way,
Under the tangled weeds.
Back on the old oak log again,
Back by the crystal brook;
Back to the bait,
And the silent wait,
Back to my line and hook.
I wish I could wade by the waters edge,
Where the fallen leaves drift by;
Just to see, In the shadow Of the ledge,
How dark forms glide, like woodman's wedge,
Through drlftwood piles and the coarse marsh
sedge,
And to hear the bittern CRY.
Back where the tadpoles Shift and sink,
Back where the bull frogs sob;
Back Just to float
In the leaky boat,
Back to my dripping bob.
Oh, it's just like this on each misty day,
It's always the same old pain
That struggles and pulls in the same old way
To carry me OF for a little stay
BY the waters edge, in sticky clay,
To fish in the falling rain.
Back to my long black rubber boots,
Back to my old patched coat;
Back to my rod
And the breath of God
Homeland my leaky boat.

The Mineral Spring Water.

At the present time when considera-
BILE attention is being drawn to the
Gute's Hill property, and especially to
the big spring there the following state.
ment and analysis made a number of
years ago by Prof. S. P. Duffield will
prove of renewed interest. 1t will be
seen from the analysis and letter that
the water not only has no bad or inn
pure qualities but besides being fine
drinking water is literally supplied
with minerals of we'll known curative
properties. The following is the note
and analysis sent by DR.. Duffield:
Below please find result of my analy-
sis of sample of water left me for that
purpose, labeled Owosso:

This is a fine spring water 1t be-
longs to the class chalybeate and will
be of service when parties require iron,
value in certain forms of dyspepsia,
where carbonate Of magnesia can have
an effect and contains quite large
proportion of iron.

was certain Of the fact and could prove
1t nothing could be done.
The next few days YoussouR spent
lounging about Yildix Palace and in
terviewing all ofIicials, high and low,
who would listen to him. Many Of
them accepted his brides, but none
could give him the desired informa-
ton. At last Youssoun got hold of a
cook who prepares the meals for the
Sultan's mistresses at their occasion
al meetings. This man had an idea.
Tell what is Zuleika's favorite dish,
and I will tell you whether she is in
the harem. where I serve" said he.
Nothing easier than that Twenty
four hours later Youssouf knew his
surmises respecting the Sultan's COM
plicity in spiriting away his Circas-
sian had been correct.
Then he sat down and wrote a let

his Noussouff's) slave girl on the
very eve of their projected marriage.
He added the circumstances of Zu-
leika's purchase. pointing out that she
had been bought on the installment
plan, and that 5000 francs were still
owing on her. If your majesty will
not restore my intended wife, send
me at least the money for which
became liable through her purchase"
wrote Youssouff in conclusion of his
petition. He did not have to wait long
for an answer. Next morning at 10
o'clock court carriage drove up at
his door, and out jumped Zuleika,
more beautiful and more richly dressed
than ever. The colored gentleman who
accompanied her, and who was, as 1t
afterward turned out. one of the minor
eunuchs of Yildiz Palace. smilingly
stepped up to Youssouff and counted
$4,000 francs upon the table.
His majesty has graciously pleased
to order the official of whom you COM
planned to pay over the full purchase
price of the slave herewith returned"
he said. After getting his receipt he
drove rapidly away. The negotiations
had not lasted more than five min
utes.
Zuleika wouldn't answer any ques-
tions as to where she had been and
with whom. She said she had sworn
not to reveal anything until after
three days had passed.
Well, she took the secret with her
into the grave, for, as stated, she lived
only three-Quarters of an hour after
her return home. While in her death
agonies she had only strength enough
to say she had partaken of no food
or drink since that mornings break
fast in the harem.
- Those who saw the slave girl say
she was the most beautiful Circassian
that had been brought to Constantine
pie for years. She was only Is years
of age, little over five feet in height,
and perfectly proportional. She had
beautiful small hands and feet, an
oval face, blond hair and a complexion
of lilies and roses. Her eyes were
dark and big and full of intelligence
Youssouff is nearly distracted over
her loss, but can do nothing. All the
talk is that no less person than the
Sultan himself played the leading
part in the tragedy. Furthermore,
there Is the evidence of the harem
cook, and there are the $1,000 francs.
The Sultan could not afford to have the
name of robbing a subject of a slave
and money. too. So he reimbursed
him and sent him back his slave. but
not for long. Thus, no lowly subject
embraced the woman whom the Sui
tan himself had coveted.

Sultan is said to have remarked a lit
tie while ago. The same day Yaver
Aga, his majesty's chief eunuch, called
upon Youssouff and commanded him
to give up the girl. Youssouff refused.
for he had meanwhile fallen madly in
love with her. Next came an offer
from the Sultan's "Kadyns." the seven
women who pass as his regular wives.
They desired to buy Zuleika for their
master. Offering a very large sum as
purchase price. But Youssouff could
neither be bought nor bullied, and was
quite proud of the fact. He evidently
forgot that he was living in Turkey,
but II he did he wasn't allowed to lose
sight Of the fact long.

Probably the most remarkable his
torical relic ever discovered In this
country has Just been found in the
neighborhood Of st. Georges Court
House, in Virginia. 1t Is q sort OF
framework Of iron. containing the
skull and some Of the bones Of man.
The greatest interest in this matter
posed that such contrivances were ever
used in this country, though they
were frequently employed in England
a century ago. The utilization Of such
a cage was mere variation Of the then
familiar method Of hanging people In
chains.
This style was commonly adopted in
the case of murderers. in order that
their bodies might be exhibited to the
public gaze for long period, afford
ing warning.
The cage dug up in Virginia Is Of
exactly the same pattern as can be
found represented in certain books
published in the last century 1t con-
sists Of sort of skeleton helmet, a
body part, portions to contain legs and
even pieces for the feet The Apara-
tus is lightly made, SO as simply to
hold the body in an erect posture and
at the same time to expose it COM
pletely to view.
In those old days. when a criminal
was hanged in chains, the process con-
sisted in suspending him from an Or
binary gallows or gibbet by means Of
a chain which was attached to q hook
and passed beneath the arms and be-
tween the legs. In the case of the con-
trivance here described the chain was
simply attached to the top Of the he'll
met, and in this way the cage was
swung with the man in 1t.
The cage consisted Of q number Of
strips Of iron about an inch and
half wide. In this continuance the
body would remain until 1t literally fell
to pieces. 1t was customary to meas
ure the condemned for such ''irons.'
as they were called. and this process
was said to nave had more effect upon
the nerves of the most hardened Of
fender than even the sentence pro-
nounced against him.
1t was usual century ago to dispose
Of pirates In this way, and many such
gentry were hanged in cages ON the
banks of the Thames opposite Black
well. This custom. indeed, was con-
tinued through the earlier years Of

a Cheap Substitute for Paris Green.
Objections to Paris Green.-Paris
green is a good insecticide. but is
somewhat troublesome to use in liquid
form as it does not dissolve readily,
and needs constant agitation to keep
1t from settling. If allowed to settle
at all the distribution is not uniform,
and injury is likely to result to the
foliage of some plants, while the in
sects on other plants escape. More
over. it is unduly expensive. whether
used dry or in the form of a spray
White arsenic, in soluble form, costs
about one-third as much as Paris green
and gives no trouble in the way of set
Ting.
How to Prepare the Arsenic of
Soda.-Dissolve two pounds Of COM
mercial white arsenic and four pounds
OF carbonate OF soda (washing soda)
In two gallons Of water and use one
and one-half pints to barrel of Bor-
deaux mixture $50 gallons). The cas-
lest Wy to make the solution is to put
both the white arsenic and carbonate

or until clear liquid is formed. and
then dilute to two gallons.
How Much to Use.-One and one
half pints of this solution to each bar
rel of Bordeaux mixture is suf1cient
to use when spraying for potato blight
and potato bugs. for apple scab and
apple worms. or for any other purpose
where a combination mixture for fungi
and insects is required.
Merits of the Combination Mixture.
This combination has been fully
tested at the Ohio Experiment Stat n
and found to be quite as effective as
the Paris green and Bordeaux mixture
combination. and for the reasons given
above is much to be preferred. This
arsenic and soda solution. or arsenfte
of soda, is more safely used in combi-
nation with Bordeaux mixture than
alone. as when in combination It will
not injure the foliage. but alone 1t is
