TWO PLI'CKV WOMEN,
i the captain’s widow
In the month of July. 185), J ran away
f .uin a British -hip which entered the
port of Madras. I was a boy of fourteen,
nniHWtt) to -ca, and < aptain and mates
in 1 done then vriy best to take the ro
ineiif' out of me. 1 hey had succeeded
well that 1 shipped ashore, determined
i\i> of • ! o vation before J would re
Ir " ,n 1 br<> 0,1 Die deep. No effort
pul forth to capture me, and two
weeks later, when I sat in the shade of a
w all one day, hungry and penniless and
H aily to give up, an English woman
halted betorc me and began to question me.
She was n small, slim woman, about forty
years of age, quick of speech and move
iiient, and I got the idea at once that she
was a sea ( aptain s wife. 1 was not far
out, as she proved to be a sea Captain's
widow, and was in command of a brig
trading with the cast coast coast of Cey
hm. Shi- happened to be in want of an
other hand, and, after being told what I
could do, she made a proposition that I
olmily accepted.
1 found the brig to be called the
• >nem. She was small, but almost new,
end a rapid sailer. The crew consisted
ol an English mate, tjvo Norwegians, a
French boy who had run from his ship,
aud myself. I Mrs. Sweet, the Captain,
■ tood her watch, and this gave the mate
himself, a man, and a boy in his watch,
while she had a man and a boy only,
though the cook had to turn out in her
watch i£ required. The latter was
negro, big and powerful, and sailor
enough to steer or go aloft. Mrs. Sweet,
as Jill agreed, was a thorough sailor and
: perfect lady, being able to navigate the
brig anywhere, and being thoroughly
posted in every detail of ship work.
I saw on the brig's deck, almost as
soon as 1 set foot aboard, a nine-pounder
mounted on a carriage, and later on 1
ascertained that she carried a supply of
-mall arms; but 1 gave the matter little
thought, aud asked no questions, We
got, had away next day after 1 joined, and Wc
a fine run down the cost, to Cape
Kariknl, from which point we laid our
course to the southeast. We had crossed
>he Gull of Mannar, which separates the
island of Ceylon from the southern end
ol llimloostan. when the wind fell to a
• aim <>nc evening at eight o’clock, and
• !' night long wc rolled about without
making the least progress. Next morn¬
ing there was a he ivy mist on the water
until after sunrise, and it gradually
burned away without bringing the breeze
wc hoped for. When the horizon was
i 'ear we saw a bark-rigged craft of three
tinies our size lying about three miles to
the north of us. She had come down on
ttie last of the wind, probably bound
through the straits, and the currents had
set her to the eastward during the night,
1 hose were suspicious days, but the bark
looked to be au honest Englishman, and
wc gave her no attention until about mid
lorenoou Then the French bov, who
WHS aloft, reported that she had lowered
two boats. The glass was sent, up to
him, and ho soon made out that the boats

II. THE CARTA IN S WIFE.
•
\.bout three yean- later than the date j
given at the opening ol this sketch 1 ;
shipped aboard of a British ship called
the Swallow. D> make a voyage from
Bombay up the Persian cult and back,
She was an old craft aud a poor sailer,
and her crew of twelve men was made
up of four or five nationalities. I remem¬
ber there were two Kanakas or Saud- !
wicli Islanders, one Lascar, a negro or
two, and the others were American, Eng
lish, and Dutch. We had scarcely left
Bombay when the Captain was taken
sick with fever. 11 is name wvs Aldrich,
and his wife, who was a woman of thirty,
always sailed with him. She now took
command in a general way, and this to
the satisfaction of the mates, though both
were thorough sailors. t heard one of
lbt ' m sa >' that she could take an observa¬
tion or work a dead reckoning, and 1 saw
from the orders she gave that she knew
all about a ship.
Wc had good weather and made good!
progress until after we were above
Muscat, in the Bav of Ormuz. Them j !
one forenoon, wc, got a squall, which did
not, last ten minutes, but which brought
do-.vn our fore and main to’gallant masts j
and carried away a sail or two. There |
was only a light breeze after the squall i
had pas-cd, and we were lying to and
hard at work, when an Arabian dhow of i
abous 209 tons Burden came stealing |
down the coast. Wc were within four
miles of the rocky and mountainous
shore, but she was two miles inside of
'* s - t'he was no sooner made out than
the first mate became very anxious, and !
Mr>. Aldrich was scut for to conic on j
deck. She took a good look at the
stranger through the glass, and as she
turned away she queried of the mate:
“Can we depend upon the crew to
fight?”
“I hope so, ma'am,” he replied.
“Have them come aft.”
All moved aft, and I can remember
through all flic long years just how she
looked and every word she said. She
had a worried, anxious look, and no
wonder, and there was a trembling in
her voice as she said: !
“Men, you know that our Captain is i
very sick. Yonder comes a pirate if I
there ever was one. If he captures us
those who live through the fight will go
iuf° the interior as slaves aud worse. If <
"‘o are all agreed we can beat him off. j
What do you -ay:
• -We'll tight to the last!” shouted one,
and the cry was taken up by all.
“Thank God!” she fervently ex- ;
claimed. ‘’Give him a brave tight, and
no one can be blamed if wo are defeated,
Sooner than fall into his hands I will j
blow the old ship sky high and all of us j
with her." ! \
M'e had no cannon, but we had fifteen
muskets, a lot of cavalry sabres, and the ]
Captain had not dodged about those i
waters with his eyes shut. He had, I
f 'vo or throe years before, purchased a I
dozen hand grenades such as are used by
the Chinese. l hoc were brought up
with the test and found to be fused and ,
in good condition, levy weighed about
two pounds apiece, and each was enclosed !
m ;1 net, so that it ciukl be tossed quite
a distance. We loaded our muskets.
took our stations, and were as’ ready as
we could be. The Captain's wife alter¬
nated between the deck aud the cabin, i
He was out of his head, which was the
better for him. and she had his revolver ;
fur use.
The dhow sneaked along until nearly
opposite us. All work had been sus
pended aloft, and she must have known [
h\ this that wc were ready for her: but
she came on just the same. And no j
wonder. One of the men went aloft
with the gias and he made out two ’
guns on her deck and a perfect swarm of >
men. She was going to do a bold
thing—ruu us aboard In broad daylight, i
She would cot use her guns, fearing they
be heard and bring us assistance:
but if that mob ever gained our decks
wc were gone. We lay with our head
to the northwest, so she would pass our ■
port quarter first. Here two of the
strongest men were placed with thc
grenades, and two of us with muskets =
were between them. The others were j
placed to fire over the stern.

with never a chc.r from the crowd ol
cutthroats on her decks. There was a
menace in their silence, but it had no
effect upon us. We were determined to I
fight, -and to fight till the last. I got
the first shot, and knocked over a man j
on her forecastle, and then all began to
blaze away. She did not fire in return,
but forged up on our quarter, and I
could see fifty Arabs, each one armed
with a crease, crowding against the rail
to be ready to board.
“Now, heave!” yelled one of tht
-ailors tflth the bombs, and both lighted
the fuses and heaved away,
Before we could tell what damage had
been done the dhow whs alongside. She
threw her grapnels, but they did not
catch, and she rubbed our whole length
and went Ahead. As we saw her failure
we blazed away again with the muskets,
and every ball found a man. She sailed
like a witch, and before she could be
checked was a cable's length ahead. She
had ,jusl put her helm over when there
was au explosion, followed by a great
sheet of flame, and wc saw that she was
hard hit. Confusion reigned from stem
to .stern in a moment, and we added to it
by peppering away at fair range. All
ablaze within five minutes, she fell off,
headed for shore, and was run on a reef
about a mile away, We saw some save
themselves by boards and rafts, being
swept in to the shore by the tide, but it
was afterward learned that upward of
forty-five men were killed or drowned,
and that the loss of the dhow broke up a
bad gang of pirates. Airs. Aldrich was
on deck through it all, emptying the re¬
volver into the crowd as the dhow passed
us, and when ail was over she went down
to her husband with face onlv a little
whiter and mouth more firmly set. She
did not betray her womanly weakness
until she came to thank us. Then she
broke down and cried like a—well, just
likea woman .—New York Sun.

rHETTY DISH OF EGOS.
Boil twelve eggs hard,take off the shells,
cut four in halves and four in quarters;
have ready half a pint of sweet cream and
a large spoonful of butter stirred to¬

MINCED BEEFSTEAK ON TOAST.
A favorite, and without doubt the best,
way to use cold beefsteak is to mince it
finely and to put. it to stowing for fifteen
minutes with quite a little water. If the
beef has not been all dried up by pound
iug and over-cooking the first day, add
to the gravy a good sized lump of butter,
small onion aud a teaspoonful of vinc
gar or catsup, and serve it smoking hot
on nicely-browned toast.
TO MAKE GOOD VORIUDGE.
Let. the water come to the boiling point
before the meal is put in. Pour the meal
in from the left hand iu a continuous
stream, stirring all tho time till it comes
to the boil. In this consists the chief art
of porridge making, and on its being well
done depends the smoothness. Allow
it to boil ten minutes and then add the
salt. Salt has a tendency to harden, and
would prevent the meal from swelling.
Boil for ten minutes after the salt has
been added. Dish and take with milk.

SECURING GOOD SEED OATS.
The price of oats is now very low, but
iu most cases they bring proportionable
all they are worth as compared with
other feed. Never before were there so
mauy been injured poor light oats, or oats that had
in curing, as this season.
There is likely to be difficulty next sea
sou in getting good seed oats, aud it is
well to secure oats that are full weight
and not musty for seed. At the best
oats in our climate tend to run out, on
account of hot, dry summers, and if
poor seed be sown the deterioration is
more rapid. It may pay seedsmen this
year to procure oats from Nova Scotia or
some other portion of Canada, provided
they are there exempt from the failure
_ that attaches
to most oats grown in the
States. —American Cultivator.
COLT TRAINING WITH OLD TEAM.
From the first, in ail breakings, the
colt should be with a steady old' horse
until it lias become used to the bit and
tractable, or, which is better, if possible
driven between two team horses. Years
ago, says J. II. Andre in the New York
Tribune, I used to take a colt to pasture
in the evening with the team, and it was
returned to the stable iu the morning
when the team was brought in. It was
a nervous, self-willed animal, and had
the appearance of being a hard one to
break to ride under ordinary eireum
stances. When old enough to ride the
bridle was put on. It wasGed out of the
stable aud placed between the team
horses and close together. I mounted its
back without saying a word. All were
started for the pasture together, and the
colt was easily broken without any trou
ble or using extra time. A frisky colt
will pay scarcely any attention to any
thing if driven with a steady old horse
whereas if alone, under the same circura
stances, it might take a fright not easy
to fiprget.
for eggs in WINTER.
“To get many eggs in winter one must
give the hens some care and attention
aud furnish them with warm and com

hatched early and the yearling of last

UTILIZING PUMPKINS.
Pumpkins are a valuable and nutritious
food for cows, if they arc only rightly
spread before them. The orthodox way
<d feeding them is to draw a wagon-load
into the pasture, aud scatter them pro
miscuously about in a parti illy crushed
condition, for the cows to fight and choke
over.
It always pays to leed intelligently, and
we might aud, humanely, and wc append
a way of offering pumpkins to cows that
, e believe to be more efficacious than the
manner desenoed. Gather only npe,
sound pumpkins; the green and decayed
ones discard; knocic off the hard stems
and handle with a pitch or dung-fork.
Near the pasture fence build a plank
bottomed peu, or a large, shallow dry
goods box would do, and into this du ia B
a part ot a load of selec:ed pumpkins.
Now, go into them with a sharp smule,
and chap them quite finclv. Most of th‘> i
entrails and seeds will slough and rattle
off, and the meaty blocks "of the fruit .
shovel over the fence into a long station
ary trough, for the cattle to partake of at
leisure.
Roots, such as mangels and rutabagas,
can advantageously be served the same
way, aud if fed iu winter, your chop
ping box can be placed in the cellar or
stable.
The seeds of pumpkins act too vigo r
ously on the kidneys to be beneficial to
cows, hence care should be taken that
they be excluded from their menu.
At this time of the year it is the en
deavor of dairymeu not so much to in¬
crease their milk ffoy, as to maintain its
previous quality. Meadows are anuuuili .
leached, through their depletion of after
math. for this, when some -ubstitub
should be provided. Our experience
with pumpkins as a cheaply produced '
food has been satisfactorily in the ex
treme, and we recommend their more
extensive cultivation. Those varieties of
the fruit that yield most prolifiely. end
produce the firmest, sweetest mealed
pumpkins, are the ones to plant. If
planted in a field separate from com they
do far better than when shaded by the ,
maize.
Dairymen, do not despise the pump
kin because it is ubiquitous, Cultivate ;
it well and feed it intelligently, and you
will be satisfied with the result .—Prairie

CREEN m\nCRING.
The necessity for restoring some of :
the fertilty to our soils which are
cropped each year is apparent even to
the most casual thinker. If the soil is
not fo be absolutely impoverished, there
must be a returning to as well as a tak
iug from it of the element-Of fertility,
1 his is a self-evident truth, and requires ;
no proof or illustration to make its e-tab
lisument complete. Green crop feeding
is the most natural, most feasible and
most economical method by wrnch . . , to re
turn the plant food that is taken from
our fields by continual cropping. Barn-

j head of the list. It contains a large pro¬

manurial plant lies in the fact that its
: leaves and stems absorb the largest part

take only a comparatively small portion

draw the fertilziug saline and mineral

A farmer who is content to plow year

t0D Indent for this world, and might

Spring calves if Hot well fed in autumn

with certainty that favorable returns in

disappointing, unsati-fa :to;-y aud profit
less.

The man who overstocks the capacity
of his farm to well feed the animats he
puts upon it. and then does not buy best
manure-producing food to give all his
animals plenty io eat, will' not- make
money. The animal that is neither grow
iug, or making a product to sell while it
eats, is kept at a loss.
Potatoes must be kept in the dark. Thf
iiite-t, caoieest potatoes will be injured
in a short time in any cellar where one
can see to walk around. They will look
yellowish when cooked, and their fine
quality is gone. If you cannot make one
room of your cellar absolutely dark, see
that your home supply is kept in tieht
boxes or barrels and well covered.
Heaps of coarse manure may be re
duced quickly to good condition for use
by liberal applications of quicklime. It
will naturally be accompanied by ~reat
]os.ses of araionia, if the heaps ‘ *
are not
covered with dry earth, If this is done,
b *pn will result, provided the lime
and manure heaps are where their decom
