A RAINY DAY. AT GRULLA.
Editor HERALD:

L am SdbiSHCu- II has idAuSU tlllS
month. AT the present moment
| (three p. m.) ] am writing to the
musical down-pour of a shower,
whose crystal drops even sprinkle
my paper so hard does it fall
This is but one of the showers that
have fallen this day There is no
sun and n grey pail covers the sky,
making this like a November day
in the North. How delicious it Is
to hear the rushing noise of the
rain as it pours from the leaden
clouds and strikes the parched soil.
| Only those who live Ill thirsty
land can understand how we long
for, and hail the life-bringiug wa
tiers of the sky There is but little
wind and the rain is falling in tor
rents, with "a Kissing noise, perpen-
dicularly The cool, damp air
feels grateful to my frame, plagued
with prickly heat and grown intol
Grant of the tremendous heat Of the
canIcular.
Still it pours, and the bitches
around my house and the brick
paved portal are gorged with wa
ter that rushes into my neigh boris
yard. A rainy day, true rainy
day-a grey sky, casting dim,
white light, the kissing noise of
water falling thro' the air, the pat
ter of the drops as they strike the
bricks and earth, the SOughing Of
the wind thro' the wet leaves, the
cool, damp gush of air, the cheerful
noise of the myriad frogs, the
buoyaut feeling of ones body, after
the great heat of the dOg-days, all
proclaim true autumnal rainy |
day.
The huge mesquite tree lifting
Its pIumy branches fifty feet into
the air, that | can see from my
door, how waves it's feathery leaves
in the slight wind of new shower.
they droop In the streaming down
pour but with an air of gladneSS.
The upright, downy shoots of a |
large huizache move with jovouS,
gallant air thrO' the pouring rain;
anon it bows to a rush of damp air,
shaking the drops in Silvery |
showers from its humid branches,
and seems to glow with a |
more vivid green. The ebano |
seen from my wi d W
is the only thing that does not APP
pear to rejoice in this time of joy
ance. Its dark, thick-set leaves
have an air OF melanchoIy-the
branches wave stiffiy in the cooling |
rain. But then, it is dying-the
dead, naked branches prOtrude
from every side, giving it a forlorn,
death-in-life look that saddens one. |

SHAKESPEARE FoRGERIEs.
Remarkable work ot an Irish Author
Recently sold by Auction
I'm London.

Among the thousands of books that
formed the library of +. J. Stanley,
NJ. T., lately undergoing disposal in On
eight days sale at Sotheby's, was one
precious product Of the ingenuity Of
that arch forger Of shake peare, sam-
uel William Henry Ireland. II is the
qunrto volume which deceived the
world when IL was published in 1895,
under the title of Miscellaneous
Papers and Legal Instruments under
the Hand and Seal of William Shake
speare, including the tragedy OF King
Lear and a small fragment of Ham
let from the original MSS. in the
possession of Samuel Ireland, OF Nor
folk street" In the book world the
reign Of the rogue Is but span, but
the inventive Ireland's was rather
long drawn out, and Boswell on his
deathbed, kissing the forged manu-
scripts and believing his lips to be
sanctified by the process, was not the
only great man who was taken In by
the swindle, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
This book is not only interleaved
with manuscript copies of the orig
inal forgeries, but is also preceded by
an account In manuscript signed by
Ireland Of the suppression ION the
discovery OF the forgeries) Of the orig
inal issue i'm folio. Ireland's success
Is but a record OF human credulity.
Young Ireland was first tempted by his
fathers unintelligent enthusiasm for
Shakespeare TO forge an autograph of
the poet on a carefully copied old
/ lease.
His andacity grew with the growing
credulity Of his dupes, and ere long
locks of hair, private letters, annot-
ated books, and so on, were plentifully
produced, and all inquiries were put on
with lying explanation. Boswell
Wharton, DIR. Parr and hundreds more
were deceived, but those like Malone
really qualified TO judge, denounced
the imposture from the first. Ire
lands audacity now reached the folly
of producing a deed of Shakespeare
bequeathing his books and papers to
William Henrye Irelaunde, an as
sumed ancestor. A new historica
play was announced, entitled "Norti
germ" and carefully concealed unit
its production. by sheridan at Drur

The Indian famines have afforded
coin collectors many opportunities
60 acquire rare and old coins, which
have lain buried for great number
Of years. The native has always
shown very grave suspicion OF
banks, and has usually preferred to
bury coins in what was considered a
safe spot. Those hiding places are
revealed by father to son, and the ae-
cumulations sometimes go on for
generations. In dire extremity the
hoard has to be trespassed on coins
which have long since become eN'
ceedingly rare are thus brought to
light, and are eagerly snapped up by
collectors. Many Of them are being
sold in London at the present time

KILLS THE BLooMER IDEA.
strOyed Chances of Oid-Time
Dress Reform PInns.

Fifty years have elapsed since
Amelia Bloomer publicly advocated
the wearing hy women of the cos
tune which mas since been known
by her name. Strangely enough, she
did not originate the idea. She was
editing a temperance and women's
rights journal and the editor of an
opposition paper suggested that she
aud her kind ought 10 wear Turkish
trousers in public. Mrs. Bloomer
took up the suggestion at first IN
spirit OF humor, but the controversy
grew serious and Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith Miller tried the experiment
OF wearing the newly invented cos
tune for women. II was very diff
ferent dress from that donned by the
advanced advocates of semimnsculine
attire for women in these days. The
trousers were loose and baggy and
they came down to the ankles, where
they were fastened by a drawstring.
In short, they were exactly like the
bathing trousers which women used
TO wear 25 years ago. No one could
have found fault with them on the
score Of modesty, especially as the
skirt which went with them came
down far below the knee. SO much
for ancient history.
The most obvious comment TO be
made on the subject is that in half a
century the advocates Of the bloomer
costume have not succeeded in having
Il generally adopted by women. To-
day It's use is wholly in the hands
OF bicycle riders, and it may be added
that they have turned use into such
an extensive and ridiculous abuse
that they have practically killed Mrs
Bloomer's idea.

know the secret lay in The cooking.
This night he served a dish Of won
derfui trout from that days fishing
basket, as course TO follow cold
cantaloupe. Then came broiled chick
ems small rs pigeons, with great to-
matoes, sliced and then in a large
dish alone, with butter, pepper and
salt as sauce, the famous corn. II
came on wrapped in its still smoking
huslxs.
Then one very beautiful woman OF
the party announced that she would
demand the secret Of the Indian. She
was told that he would probably snub
her for her pains, but she persevered,
and finally Krum stolidly led the way
to his great charcoal range in the
kitchen, with its refrigerator built
in most modern perfection outside
the open doorway.
He explained in most picturesque
cooking lecture that corn could not
be cooked haphazard. It had to be
timed as closely as an egg in boil
ing; IL must never vary, and min
ute too much or too little spoiled II
for the table. Krum's method he
illustrated TO his impromptu class.
He selected four good ears Of small,
closely set and irregularly striped
grains. Then turning back the other
husks he removed the silk adhering
20 the ear and assured himself that
each was perfect. He removed the
outer husks and carefully folded a
| good layer of the inner ones about
the ear, fastening them in a sort OF
twist at the top.
These he placed side by side in Q
large pot and covered them over with
additional husks, then with cold wa.
ter in plenty. He placed the pot and
its contents over a quicl. FIRE, watched
II faithfully until the water bubbleo
and then timed IL exactly four min
utes Then the corn was taken up
drained and was ready for service.
This method is simple enough Z
try in any kitchen, but IL Is difficult
to reconcile most housekeepers to thu
cold water and the lack of salt, whici
Is not added until the vegetable II
eaten. But once tried, the directions
faithfully followed, and II will neve
be prepared in the old way.
Most of the mountain guides cool
corn in this way, and some old south
ern cooks know the virtues of cold
water cooking.

WATCH THE CELLAR.
The Family Health Depends Much
Upon Keeping II Dry and
sweet.

ouicklime, borax, charcoal, dry
copperas and plaster are the things
TO make and keep n cellar sweet and
fresh. Move out all things movable,
sweep, take up dust, open bins and
closets, and set doors and windows
wide. Then in every bin or inclosed
space set an earthen vessel, dish OF
bowl, with several Jumps Of quick
lime in it. Strew grains of dry cop
peras all over the lime, then slack It,
but do not wet e, yet be sure the
Stacking IS thorough. Steam from
the lime, rising up and out, will take
away all bad air and i'll odors, says
the Washington Star.
Leave the cellar open and empty
for two hours, then scatter dry pow
dered borax all around, in corners
and along the walls, and wherever
there is a place where it will not be
in the way hang a piece Of net, such
as fish net, with some Jumps Of
fresh charcoal tied inside. Leave the
borax until next cleaning time. Take
the charcoal bags down every week
empty them, heat the charcoal very
hot, return TO the bags and replace
them. Charcoal has marvellous
power 10 absorb all sorts % bad
smells. The power is strictly proper
toned TO its freshness, which the
heating restores.
Make cheesecloth pads of plaster
mixed with powdered Stacked lime
and hang them against the walls
that are likeliest TO be damp. Lime
and plaster are so thirsty they take
all the spare water 10 themselves,
thereby preventing must and mold.
A good way to make the pads is to
stitch or run inch tucks in a length
OF cheesecloth or coarse lawn, then
slip funnel spout into the open end
of the tuck and pour in the plaster
and lime. Make the tucks an inch
apart and fill them evenly Pow
dered charcoal may be mixed with
the lime and plaster for pads which
are to hang where foodstuffs are
! liant

COOKING CORN.
An Excellent Method That Was
Learned from an Oid Indian
Guide.

Green corn Is one Of the luxuriea
now In market. As general thing
Il Is cooked atroeiously. For years
American housekeepers have been
cooking corn after the recipes to be
found in the standard cook books,
which invariably direct that the ears
be dropped into boiling water and
cooked for a time, varying according
to the different authorities.
According TO people who have tried
the method of an old Indian guide
named Krum, corn should be cooked
In cold water. Krum some years ago
opened a mountain resort near Sara
toga, and his way Of cooking corn Il
especially famous, says the cinein-

NARROW ESCAPE.

Milkman Frank Ii. McGroarty's Wagon
Demolished by u Train.
Frank H. McGroarty, the well known
milk dealer, had narrow escape from
death this morning at the Centre street
crossing of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
His wagon was struck by the train ar
irving from Wilkesbarre at 8. 80 O'Clock,
and with the exception of the two front
wheels nothing remains of the vehicle
but pieces.
Mr. McGroarty was seated in the
closed wagon and was driving north
ward from Coke addition. He failed to
notice the approaching train, or to hear
the shouts of the people at the station,
until his wagon was on the tracks. 1t
was then too late to escape by the side
door of the wagon, but be shouted to
the horse. The animal bounded for
ward, but not far enough to clear the
rails, and the engine struck the vehicle
short distance back of the centre, lift
ing the wagon and contents in the air
and dashing them with terrific force to
the station platform.
Mr.. McGroarty was in the midst of
the wreck and escaped with few cuts
on the head and hands. The wagon,
milk-cans and bottles were broken be-
yond repair, but the horse came out
without scratch.
Several people were on the station
platform at the time, but were unable to
prevent the accident. All who witness
ed 1t were Mortified at the sight and be-
ieved in the certain death of the driver.
Mr.. McGroarty states that he was un-
able to see the train coming on account
of several box-cars standing on the
south track
