'sThe Fiddle Maker of Tamarack" is
the, title won by Harry Evans, IA
year-old boy living at Syracuse, N. Y.
Last March the boy started In to make
fiddle after the -Stradivarius model.
He got books from public libraries
treating on the subject, and then sup
pleid himself with fine seasoned woods
from far away places Then with the
best tools he could get, he went to
work, getting up at 4 o'clock in the
morning, that he might have time for
his violin making before school. When
his first violin was completed he found
that it weighed too much, according to
the Stradivarius standard, so with in
finite patience he took 1t all apart and
smoothed and sandpapered the sur
faces until it WAS reduced to the proper
weight. Then he invited all the musi-
clans Of note in the city to come and
hear 1t, for he Is something of violin
player as well. as maker. Every one
proclaimed the fiddle marvel in work
manship and tone, and its maker a
genius. He Is a nephew of the actor,
Charles Riegel, of New York.
The boy has sister who Is. deserv-
| ing of mention. She is 10 years old
and is in business for herself, having
opened grocery which promises to de-
velop into a department store, having
already meat market. drug depart

land, or you would have mentioned him
to me. like him very much, indeed, and
yet could not help feeling little jealous
when he manifested SO much interest In
you. Sometimes, Mary. think that for
a brother, am getting too selfish, and !
do not wish anyone to like you except
myself, but I surely need not feel SO to-
ward George, the best friend l have in
Boston. He is very kind, lending me
books, and has even offered TO use his in
fluence in getting me situation in one
of the best law offices in che city,"
After reading this letter Mary sat for
a long time thinking of George Moreland
of the time when she first knew him
of all that William Bender had been to
her siiice-and wondering, as girls some
times will, which she liked the best. Bill.
unquestionably had the strongest claim
to her love. but could he have known
how much satisfaction she felt in think
ing that George still remembered and felt
interested in her he would have had some
reason for fearing, as he occasionally did,
that she would never be to him aught
save sister.

The Cranberry Fireworm.

The larvae of Rhopobota vaccin:ana;
or cranberry fireworm, cause consider
able damage to the cranberry crop Of
Massachusetts,. The larvae of the first
brood seldom cause much injury, while
those of the second brood are often ex-
ceedingly destructive Where the cram
berry bogs can be flooded with water
at the proper season for destroying the
larvae, this method is very effective.
but in many cases it is impossible to
use water in this way. Experiments
were tried with arsenate of lead, which
was used as a spray at the rate of 8
pounds to $50 gallons of water. The
first application was made in the early
part of June. The second brood of
-caterpillars appeared during the first
part of July. and a second application
was made, the insecticide being used at
the rate of 1872 pounds to $50 gallons of
water. Nearly all the larvae were de-
stroyed, and great saving in the cram
berry crop was the result of this meth
cd. 1t was found that three men with
good outfit could spray eight acres
of cranberry bog In ten hours.

The farmer who does not plan to
have a field of corn fodder to use this
summer for his milch cows will de.
serve no pity If he finds his milk sup.
ply so short next summer that it will
not sell for enough to pay what ii
costs him for feed. The excess of rain
during the first four months of this yeaI
may be taken as a good indication OF
drought later on, and the crop is Sc
easily and cheaply grown, so valuable
if needed for feeding green, and SC
easily kept for winter use if not fed in
the summer that there seems no excuse
for failing to produce it. There are
other forage crops that have been high
ly recommended, but we think the corn
crop is as well adapted to New Eng
land as any, and almost any one knows
the soil and care it needs. We would
put in one field in May and follow with
others up to the middle of July to give
continuous feeding when needed.-NeW

A San Franciscan, who has recently
returned from Honolulu, relates that
while there he had occasion to inquire
about two ladies who. he understood,
were stopping at the Chaplin House, and
accordingly used the telephone.

said to central, and, when the connec-
ton was made, he inquired if the two
ladies were there.

"But they were there last night.

3Yes," was the hesitatiEg reply; "but
we had to let them go this morning.
"Had to let them co." echoed the
San Franciscan; why, what sort of a

at the other end.

CHAPTER XII.

CHAPIER XII.
The summer was drawing to close,
and with it Mary's school. She had sue
ceeded in giving satisfaction to the en-
tire district. Mr.. Knight, with whom
Mary was a great favorite, offered her
the school for the coming winter, but she
had decided upon attending school her
self, and after modestly declining his Of
fer, told him of her intention.
''But where's the money coming from p
said he.
Mary laughingly asked him how many
bags of shoes he supposed she had stitch
ed during the last two years.
More'n two hundred, I'll bet" said he.
Not quite as many as that" answered
Mary; "but still have managed to earn
my clothes and thirty dollars besides; and
this, together with my school wages, will
pay for one term and part Of another"
"Well, go ahead" returned Mr.. Knight.
"I'd help you if could. Go ahead; and
who knows but you'll one day be the
presidents wife,
When Widow Perkins heard that Mary
was going away to school she forgot to
put any yeast in the bread which she was
making, and, bidding Sally Ann watch II
until it riz," she posted off to Mrs. Ma,
sons to inquire the particulars, reckoning
up as she went along how much fourteen
