The village bells of Potzbach Ger

New Years day, and the people >have
awakened to the fact that the man
a teacher-who has done the work
heretofore has been paid only $2.64 a
year and has struck for higher wages.
The people of the town have discov-
cred that the bell rope hangs in the
teachers bedchamber and that he will
not allow anybody to disturb his early
snOoze by entering and pulling the
rope.

In some ways Philadelphia is not so
slow. The city is just finishing what
is claimed to be the longest asphalted
street in the world 1t is also one of
the widest. In fact, it's name is Broad
street, and runs straight from the City
Hall away out into the fields, as
straight as if drawn by ruler. This
will likely be the scene Of some spirit

PEN AND SCISSORS.

The unWieldiness of an empire
which should embrace the Philippines
is illustrated by the experience Of a
merchant skipper of Castine, Me- JIc
left Manila in a sailing vessel for a
voyage around the Cape, stopping at
st. Helena. When he started there
was no expectation of war; when he
reached Maine the war was over.

How to Make Plants Grow.

A wise mother is apt to be success
full with plants. 1t lis the everyday
providing for little wants that makes
the happy child, or brings plenty Of
flowers. Take setting out seedlings
for example; one woman will rarely
or never fail, while another may have
"a few Sickly flowers, but the plants
will not do their very best. For trans
planting a cloudy day is best; take up
the little things in a mass and pull out
the most thrifty, throwing the rest
away. 1t is a good thing to learn how
many plants to have in the space ait
command; six perfect plants, with
room to show off their good points all
around, are better than dozen
crowded together One year 1 set my
balsams twelve inches apart and they
showed their appreciation by blooming
all around, from top ito bottom, like
little trees, whereas when close togeth-
err just few blossoms would show on
top.
The mOtherly hand will gently take
the baby seedlings, make a hole in
soft soil with the fingers, spread out
the roots and bring up the soil around
the stem, and press it down to bring
it into contact With the roots. A rub
Der sprinkler will give them enough
water. Her sweet peas have a wire
netting to run upon, and all her vines
are carefully considered in the way
of strings and trellises. AS a true
mother likes to have everything Ship
shape and convenient in her nursery,
the plant lover will not consider
money misSpent to make the plants
more comfortable and working among
them easier. [ have seen women try
ing to loosen the soil with an old fork,
and carrying baskets of soil quite
distance to put around the plants.
Now a light, strong spade will not
cost much and it will make digging

things for working in a garden is a

HORSE MEAT PATTIES.
After SwindIing His Patrons for
Eight Years Paris Provision
Merchant In Caught.

Perdon, a provision merchant of
Paris. has been justly sent to prison
Tor eight months on charge of selling
horse rmtties, says the Paris CORE
"pOndGnI Of the London Telegraph.
There was no doubt in the least about
his guilt. and he can never be held up
10 lis contemporaries or to Eosterity
rs the victim Of a judicial error. The
bordereau in his case was n small jar
or pot. which was produced in court.
1t was marked outside with the mys-
terious letters M. H." and the magic
words pate de foie gras which general
~ appeal to epicures.
This alleged pot of goose liver was
simply horsefesh, and, as an official
analyst remarked in court, it was bad
1t that. Perdon also sold pots or jars
Of alleged patties of duck, pheasant,
quail, hare and lark, but they were all
of the same foundation. He bought old
horses in the knackers' yards, boiled
their flesh, mixed it with little pork
fat, spiccd it with nutmeg, ginger and
cayenne pepper, poured some rum
kirach or eau de vie over it, and then
put 1t into the duly labeled pots.
The letters IN. H." were originally
intended to mean honorable mention,
but being brought to bay in court, Per-
don tried to defend himself by assert
ing that they signiGed "melange hippo
phagique," :" and that shrels the custom
ers knew what they were buying. It
was no wonder that the learned magis-
trate presiding in the correctional
court remarked, with more emphasis
than elegnnce: "Vous avez un rude
toupet (You have hard cheek)." Per-
don had been befooling his customers
! with horse patties for the last eight
years. He has now gone to rejoin in
Jail the man who sold skinned cats

The market was quite panicky
yesterday in New York the cause
being attributed to break in the
stock market. January futures
opened at 7.21 and was hammered
down to $50 and closed at 7;0l.
The tone was a little better today.
March deliveries suffered along with
the other deliveries and closed yes
terday at7:12. Our people here who
are dealing in futures to a small ex-
tent, we learn were not much af-
fected as they all put up on their
margins knowing that a reaction
was bound to come, sooner or later
and they will fight it out on this
line. We heard a good one on one
of our cotton buyers who is quite
timid. He put in dn order to buy
300 bales if it ever got below Z
cents for January deliveries. This
was three months ago This morn
ing he received telegram. Bought
300 bales at $780," He straightway
wired, 'Sell it P. D. O." and the
