A Candidate for Reform

William RobertB missed his bicycle
Tuesday morn1Ha At once notified
Marshall Shannon who started for an
old offender Robert Pedrick, the I3-year
old son of e. Roger Pedrick. His shoes
ft the tracks in the snow and he owned
up that he took it and hid it III a hedge.
He had slept at the engine house all
night SO he could get up early to steal
it.
He has been before Mayor Tort0n
several times on varies charges and be-
cause Of his youth aud promises To re-
form he has been delt with laniently.
He has stolen five horses, buggy and
harness, q stove. boat oars, eggs from
setting hens, opened letters to get mon
ey, forged a note to get goods from the
store, and taken most every thing hut
a COW.
Mayor Torton committed him to Jail
and sent u recommendation to Judge
S~innicks0n to send him to the State Re
form School. His parents think he
should 60, lie thinks he wonld like to go
and learn something, and every body
thinks that is the place for him.
One Of his offehses is the stealing of
iron to sell. Job BaIber's wagon and
A. G.. Turner's moving machine were
taken 10 pieces TO sell for old iron.
Others have been caught at it, but le-
cause of respect for their parents they
have not been dealt with. This should
be a warning for them to stop stealing.

Life Is Growing Longer.

From statistics and the result of GER
tain changes in the methods Of living
we can safely affirm that the span of
life is steadily lengthening. Three
thousand years before the Christian era
the average duration of life was said to
be three score years and ten. This would
make middle age come at 35. Dante
considered that year the middle Of life's
arch and Montaigne, speaking for him.
self at the same period of life, consid-
cred his real work practically ended
and proved that he thought he was
growing old by falling into the remin-
iscent age.
At the present time fifty years is con-
sidered as middle age. In the days of
the revolutionary war prominent men
at that time were looked upon as old
at 80 years. We are justified in sup
posing that the span of human life will
be prolonged in the future because the
possibility of living to an older age has
been demonstrated by the great ad-
vances made in medicine and hygiene
during the past ten years.
We have attained a vast amount OF
knowledge as to the causes Of disease,
and new remedies for their successful
treatment have been discovered. We
have no new diseases, at least, Of any
serious character, and we are better
able to treat the old ones, which, like
old foes, appear to US with new faces

HER CHRoMATlc FATHER.

She lives in the house with the pillars
And portico quaint,
Where dwelt, years ago, the Van Twill
lers-
Dutch blood without taint.
And to me it's a mansion elysian,
The fairest in town,
For she-she's dream and a vision
Her father is Brown.
The rooms have the faint, subtle, musty
Perfume Of old books
Queer volumes, thumbed, tattered and
dusty,
Are piled in their hooks.
The lore Of the long buried sages
Before one is spread;
In the wit and the wisdom Of ages
Her father is read.
But ali! in the practical knowledge
OF beauty and youth
The learning not taught at college
He's lacking, in truth
Mayhap he was once not as stupid
In Loves fair demesne,
But now, mid the wiles of Dan Cupid,
Her father is green.
He knows not the secrets that hover
Der some old romance
The fingers entwined meath the cover,
The swift, tender glance.
He knows not-but why undeceive him P
I'll wager it's true -
That, when he is told she would leave
him,
Her father is blue.

Bagging a Peers Calf

The moors of Yorkshire and Scotland
have been alive with shooters. The
crack of the gun has been heard on ev-
cry hand, for grouse shooting has open
ed for the year. During the shooting
season in Great Britain accidents are
comparatively rare, considering the
first-class opportunities to blow Off a
companions head or drill hole through
his back.
But accidents do happen and the first
man to be shot this season was Lord
Binning. The noble lord is bit Of a
wag, and even when half his leg was
perforated with shot from his own gun
and he was sitting against a hedge,
waiting for stretcher to be brought,
his wit did not desert him, for, as the
doctor was binding up his wounds, he
remarked.

A Modest Poet.

A well-known editor, who never talks
shop unless he has something worth
telling, recently told story at his own
expense to party Of friends.
''Not long ago." he said, Il received
"a poem from an unknown contributor.
The letter accompanying the manu-
script was written In that confidential
strain which always proves the writer
to be an unframed contributor to the
press.
"After praising my paper and inform
ing me that he had been reader of 1t
for more years than it had been in ex-
istence, he had taken the liberty of
sending me a little poem for publica-
ton. -
'The honor Of appearing in print was
all the remuneration he desired; indeed,
he was frank enough to state that he
did not consider the verses inclosed had
any market value. When I examined
the poem found it was one had writ
ten myself many years before, and for
which had received handsome sum" !"

He Wanted some.

An unsophisticated old deacon of the
Methodist Church is the chief character
in this little tale. He came to town
from the South, where he lives, and
meeting an ole friend Of his who has
developed into prosperous banker,
was invited home to dine with the New
Yorker. Spaghetti was one Of the dish
es served, and the good old deacon, who
had never seen any before, took to it
with great celerity. After despatching
two generous platefuls OF the Italian
paste he ventured to ask his hostess
the name Of the new dish.
''It is spaghetti, Deacon" she replied,

''Well," said the old man, "it's mighty
good, and wish before go you'd give

READY TO HUNT.

HOW Indians prepared TOT the (naSe
in Olden Days.
Meat is the main article of diet among
the Indians, and their having to hunt it
made them excel other nations in the
chase, for on their success depended
their sustenance. Their arrows, which
were sometimes about three feet in
length, and generally winged, were sent
with a feetness and dexterity that fire.
Quently brought down a fleeing buffalo
while it was more than 6C0 feet distant
from the archer. And these arrows
would not only kill the animal, but
would often pierce its body, coming out
at the other side, such was the force
with which 1t was sent.
The Indian method Of preserving food
for winter use was curious one. When
the animal was slain the meat was
thoroughly dried, and then chopped up
very fine. Fruits and berries would be
added to this, and the whole reduced
to a powder, which was emptied into
huge vessels of boiling fat.
This mixture was allowed to boil
well, and was then poured into large
dried skin, where it would harden into
the shape of a loaf. The skin was of
raw hide, shaped like large, bulging
envelope, with all the flaps unfastened.
Some of them were a yard In length,
half a yard In width and about nine
inches in depth, and when they were
dried they readily kept the shape into
which they had been put when green.
When the minced meat had been put
into the case the four flaps were fas-
tened together, but not SO that it was
airtight, and the effect was like trav-
cling satchel. Really this was the in
so much that everything they had was
made to be utilized on their journeys.
Elaborate decorations of bead work,
or, earlier, Of straw, were put upon
the outside of these cases, and the eff
fects to-day are very beautiful, though
perhaps brilliant. But certainly the
Indian has an art all his own, and his
colorings and designs in his handiwork
are full of character and interest.
When the Indian became hungry he
opened one of these cases and cut off a
slice of the great loaf of meat, and
fruits and berries, just as his civilized
brother might cut slice of ham, only
his knife may also have been used for
chopping wood, or it may have killed
his enemy.
The days of the buffalo hunt, how
ever, are past, SO perhaps this mode of
preserving meat will pass away, too.
For the Indians now frequently receive
their supplies at the Government agen-
cies, having paid for them by the sale
of their lands.

humane and most convenient results.
A recent visit to the progressive owner
Of a dairy farm was productive in Sc
curing several points that were new to
the writer, and to many others doubt
less. They are shown in various cuts
given herewith. Fig. 1 shows the dairy
mans plan for keeping the COW from
soiling her fanks when she lies down.
A strip Of joist by inches is nailed
across the floor of the stall just behind
the hind feet of the cow, when she is
standing as far up in the stall as she
possible can. This crosspiece is shown
