The Ideal in Everyday Life.

Let us now go for a walk, during
which we will observe The people who
are pursuing their callingS. Let us
note their moods.
We will come upon persons whom
we a not see sweep, Eamme- or dig
the earth without experiencing a de-
sire to take from them their broom or
hammer or spade, in order to snow
them how they ought to use it. This
sort of worker is to be met with quite
as often in the schools, in the church,
in the studios Of painting and sculp-
ture as in the fields, the mines and the
shops. Without ideals people are the
same everywhere. When they teach
they make us weary II learning. when
they make music. they cause US to hate
music. They have no faith in their
work. All the time they have the air
of saying, what a stupid trade L
have chosen! Be sure my children
shall not follow it."
Those who put the ideal into their
work produce altogether different eff
feet upon us, whether they be manual
or intellectual laborers. You see them
at work, performing at times unpleas-
ant duties, which you perhaps would
rot choose, hut with so much of good
will, of punctuality and fidelity, and
such an appreciation of 1.-The useful
flight of days." that they appear great
to us, and an envy seizes us to initiate
them.-Charles Wagner, in Harper's

KILLED BY DEAD LOVER
Paterson Girl Took Folsom That a
Suicide Gave Her.
Puzziiag Features Surround tho Death OF
bliss Nae Agnes Morton-Fatal Tablets
Contained Corrosive gublimate.

Paterson, n. FLAMES Boucher, a
we'll known young man Of this city,
and a nephew of DR.. A. Norval, Of 381
Main street, left Paterson about two
weeks ago for Scranton, Pa. The last
person to see him as he boarded the
train at the station was Miss Mae Ag-
mes Morton, the nineteen-year-old
daughter Of Alexander Morton, Of Y
Madison street. Boucher and Miss
Morton were sweethearts for several
years. He had proposed marriage to
her, but her father had objected. AS
he stepped upon the train for Scranton
he handed her a small box.
"I'm going to Scranton to kill my
SELF he said. when you hear about
it open this box of tablets. If you
should think Of me take some Of them"
Miss Morton promised that she
would and they parted.
The next day a dispatch from Scran-
ton said that Boucher had been found
dead at the Lackawanna Hotel in that
city. Heart disease was given as the
cause.
Miss Morton, however, believed that
Boucher had committed suicide. She
opened the box he had given her and
examined its contents. 1t contained
half a dozen harmless looking tablets.
She dissolved the six tablets in q glass
of water and swallowed the liquid.
Immediately the girl was taken Ill
and DR.. James Smith was called. The
girl didn't tell what she had done, and
the physician diagnosed the case as one
Of gastritis. He prescribed for her, but
Miss Morton grew rapidly worse.
i. After four days of suffering, the
physician told her she was going to
die. Then she told about the tablets.
James left them for me before he
went to his ucath; you will find pow
der from some Of them in an envelope
The physician and the girls father
found the envelope and upon examina-
ton of the contents found that she
had taken corrosive sublimate. The
physician questioned her, and she said
she had swallowed the dose in entire
innocence of its character.
Father Gillen, of st. Joseph's Church,
was sent for, end when the circum-
stances were told him he accepted the
girls story and administered the last
rites Of the Church. In great pain
the girl died a few moments later.
County Physician A. Il. Mcbride
was notified: and signed a death certff-
cafe of suicide, but this theory was re,
| iected by the church authorities, who
gave the body a burial from st. JOS
eph's Church.
Mss Morton and Boucher had known
each other since they had been chill,
dren. They attended school together
and had Deen constant associates dur
ing the past three On four years. MT.
Morton objected to the young mans
attentions and on several occasions for:
babe his daughter to see him. When
Boucher i roposed marriage Miss Nor
toms father said he would never give
his. consent, and Miss Morton declined
to marry without his permission.
The theory in Paterson is that when
Miss Morton declined to elope with
Boucher he decided to kill himself and
then afford means for the girl to end
| her life also.

The pRUAE And ITS CULTIVATION
BY ENOS BROWN.

The consumption Of prunes in the
United States exceeds 1OO,OOo,OoO
pounds yearly. Prior to 1886 the sup
ply came almost wholly from France
and the Danubian provinces, int sold
under the designation Of "French" OF
Turkish" prunes.
In the year referred to, prunes or
American growth appeared on the
market, and with each succeeding year
the supply has increased, until the I'M
portation of foreign fruit has beer re-
duced to extremely small proportions.
Much the Larger portion Of the prune
supply is the production Of California
where climatic peculiarities are ex'
tremely favorable for its production.
In Santa Clara County alone there
are 100000 trees growing on 37,00o
acres, 100 to the acre, yielding 33o'-
OOO,O 900 pounds, or ~thereabout. of green
fruit, or thirty pounds from each full
grown tree. The quantity Of prunes
somewhat exceeds 100000 pounds
more than enough for the require
ments Of the whole country, but the
excess, with that raised in other locali-
ties, is needed to supply the export de-
mand from Great Britain, Germany
and France. The first plum trees
were planted forty years ago in Call
fornia.
Ten thousand trays Of fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be secn
in Santa Clara in the drying season.
When sufficiently cured the prunes are
stored in separate bins and there al
lowed to "sweat," this process taking
from ten to twenty days, when they are
ready for marketing. Ten dlIerent
grades are required, ranging f!9m
an average Of thirty.ive to tue pound
to the smallest size, averaging 14n.

microscope Saves Lives.

One of the first lessons l learned
in The use of the microscope was:
Keep both eyes open, but ignore ev-
erything not seen through the micro
scope. Unfortunately many of our
younger graduates in medicine seemed
to have learned this lesson so thor
oughly that they ignore as unscien-
tifc everything which they do not di:-
cover by the aid of chemistry or the
microscope. In q recent discussion Oh
typhoid fever, before the Kalamazoo
.academy of Medicine, DR.. Simeon
Belknap, )ne Of the leading practi-
toners of Southwest Michigan, called
attention to the greater fatality of
disease at the present time than for
merly, and expressed the opinion that
if the time which is .pent in looking
through the micros cope studying the
germs were used lie watching the pa
tents, more would recover. There is
mere truth than poetry in his remark.
