The hour was late and a reporter
was sent down to the neighbor

at it with a knife he scratched her
neck. Mrs. Williams, who had
told her, could tell the reporter the
names of the girls who had such
narrow escapes.
On the way to see Mrs. Williams
the reporter stopped at Jackson’s
grocery store. “I never heard of
the case at all,” declared Mr. Jack-
son, much interested. “Who were
the girls?”
“That’s what I’d like to know,”
answered the reporter, resuming
his search. Mrs. WiUiams had
heard the story from the hired
girl of Mrs. Thomas, who knew
the girls. Thece were some slight
errors in the reporter’s version of
the story, she said. The girls did
not live on Maple und Boe streets.
She had forgotten where Mrs.
Thomas had said they lived. Bo-
laud, the druggist declared to the
reporter, who stopped in on his
way to see Mrs. Thomas, that he
had Dover heard of the case, and
besides, he happened to know there
were no girls living on Boe street.
Well! well! bnt.this is the fun
niest thing I ever heard in my
life!” declared Mrs. Thomas, after
listening to the reporter’s story.
“I fail to see any superlative
amoupt of humor in’it,” remarked
the reporter, with an inward de
sire to commit murder.
“Why, it’s so funny to think
how snch a ridiculous story got
started. 15 I suppose my Bridget
must have heard me reading in the

this paper came, inland said - that
some viUian , a£ vidians, -guj^tjfe
southwestern part of the city, had
cut off‘the: $air of two or more es
timable’’ybung ladies. The story
was sensational., -. aqd .was related
with all the attending minutim. A
young woman, living on Maple
street, awoke with a start, last Fri
day night, to find her raven tress

head, tbenian said. ’ Her hair was

awoke she saw-a man"-hastily scram
bling out of the window, with her
locks streaming airily from his
hand. .
The other case occurred at about
T o’clock’ -f the same night. The
young w'oman in this instance lived
on Boe street, and jnst as she was
about to enter a grocery store, near
corner of Boe and West streets, a
man leaped from a dark shadow,-
seized-her hair, and, with a fiendish
flourish of.a. gleaming knife, cut it
off close to her head. Uttering a
loud scream, .the. girl fled, and
when people came to the rescue it
was found the knife had cut a deep
gash across her ,neck,making a-hor
rible and bloody wound. In neither
instance was there any trace of the
man who committed the outrage.

.Measuring Land by -Wagon Wheel. .
AjDakota correspondent of the
Country Gentleman gives this
method of measuring land," as fol
lows:"
-Having charge of over 4,000
acres of land, of which about two-
fiftbs are under plow, I am neces
sarily obliged each year to do con
siderable measuring for the differ
ent cultivators which are changing
more or less annually.
I have a large scrap memoran
dum book which I always take with
me when starting out to measure.
My’buggy wheel measures exactly
12J feet in circumference. I tie a
white rag to the outer end of a
spoke, so I can readily count the
wheel’s revolutions, driving slowly
where the ground is rongh,. and on
a trot where the ground is smooth.
When another party is interested
in my measuring, I .-take him 11
and let him do the counting out
loud while I drive as straight as
possible. I Usually go through the
middleof a piece of ground each
way: If the land has irregular
sides I make it, or measure it, in
two or three parcel’s. After get
ting the number of wheel revolu
tions I note them down as I finish
each distance immediately on a
rough sketch of a diagram, put
right on aieafiin the scrap book,
with date- Then I come home and
make the calculations by reducing

He was the legal adviser and ex
ecutive officer of the Vigilants,
Senator Stewart never hanged a
man, but'he saved several when he
thought tbe Vigilants were too has
ty in their action.
One day while riding his law
circuit, in 185? or 1854, Stewart
approached a mining camp where
preparations were being made for
an execution. As he dismounted
in front of the hotel, with his law
library in a pair of saddle-bags
thrown across' his arm, he saw a
crowd away off.
The signs were plain enough*to
his practiced eye: In front of the
hotel a‘little bit of a Texan des
perado named Jack Watson was
standing. He had come out to the
mines-with Jack Hayes’ party. He
wouldn’t weigh more than 120
pounds, but he was all grit. There
was a look of disgust upon his
face.
He was gazing down the road to
ward the mob. Stewart inquired
what the trouble was about- Wat
son said the man to be hanged was
a stranger, an Englishman, who
had come into camp and had stop
ped there all night.
Some money had been stoien,
and the stranger wasjto'be liapged
for it. The Texan expressed tbe
opinion that the stranger was not
guilty. Stewart remarked that
somebody ought to interfere if an
innocent man was’about io-be exe
cuted.
In a flash the Texan’s manner
changed. He drew his hands from,
bis pockets, threw his right hand
upon the hilt of his revolver, and,
giving Stewart a penetrating look,
exclaimed:
“Da’st you?”
Stewart mildly replied that he
dared, and without another word,
Stewart, who has the longest pair
of legs in the United States Sen
ate, was striding down the road.
Little Watson was beside him, and
going on a trot. They went into
the crowd and pushed their way to
the front, where the noose was be
ing put in place.
“Here, boys,” said Stewarf, “this
man may be innocent. Let’s see
about it.”
Without any delay Judge
Lynch’s conrt was: convened. The
witnesses were put on the stand.
In fifteen minutes the young law
yer bad shown a flaw in the case.
One of the first questions he
asked was whether all ofthose
who had slept in tbe hotel the
night of the theft still remained in
camp. . The witnesses said no.
One man had left camp on a mule
in the morning.
“That man is the thief,” said
Stewart.
A force immediately started in
pursuit. The missing man was
overtaken. Part of the stolen
money was found on him. He was
brought back and hanged. The j
Englishman was turned loose.

A very common leakage is the
waste of time. We can safely call
this the greatest one for the two
following reasons: first," it has of

is invariably taken away before an
other is given; --secondly and not
least, time can never be recalled.

Nearly all disorders of plants the other in his downward course
are caused by parasites, of which
there are 50,000 known kinds, and
it is not easy to tell off hand, in
any given case, just which ono is
the destroyer. Often this must be
determined by a resort to the germ
incubator.
Suppose the professor has re
ceived a leaf affected by some mys
terious disease burning it brown.
His experienced eye at once de
tects the presence ot a fungus. He
breaks off a bit of the leaf, and
chops it up in distilled water.
When the water is. filled with the
germs he. takes a drop and lets it
fall into a tube which already con
tains a small quantity of gelatinous
substaucss called “agar,”, derived
from a Japanese fish. This sub
stance has previously been rid of
all germs by boiling, and the tube
io ujw lighily corked u. again to
prevent the ingress of other germs.
The fungus germs find this agar
most nutritions food, and at once
begin to feed and multiply. If
there is only one to begin with, -it
soon divides into two; and sq on
until itmay be within a few hoars
there are billions.
To be certain that these fnngi
caused the disease of the plant in
question, tho professor fishes a few
of them out oh the end of a plati
num needle, and rubs them on a
healthy leaf of the same sort in his
green house, [f the disease is re
produced in the plant thus inocu
lated, he has found the enemy.
That is the first important step; it
only remains to discover something
that will kill the parasite without
injury to the infected plant.
Within .the four years daring
which Professor Galloway has been
in charge of this department of
vegetable psthology, much has
been done. Twelve of the fifty
kinds of dangerous fungi that at
tack the grape have been treated
with success, and a cure has been
discovered for the fire-rot, which
turns the limbs of pear trees black
aud dead so quickly. The germ of
the potato rot, too, has been iden
tified, and means found of fighting
it cheaply and effectively. The
same may be said of more than a
dozen other vegetable diseases.
The wheat crop of the faT west
is the largest in its history. Wash

are unable to move the crop, and
the farmers are making lond com

to where plenty is a stranger and
sunshine never comes. These
times of injustice at the hands of
the favored few and against the
toiling millions, the farmer will
have to double his energy or live
upon hatf allowance. At any rate
the amount of comfort and plenty
that the farmer may have laid up
for a rainy day, or for sickness, or
for old age, is largely to be meas
ured by the right use of time. Not
only does'industry lay the founda-
tion of wealth, ease and comfort,
hut it makes victuals taste good,
and any ordinary chair feel good
when the day’s toil is over. The
bed, likewise, seems softer, when
in reality it is all the outgrowth of
time rightly .spent.
Another serious “leak” is extrav
agance, by baying that we are in
reality unable to buy, or buying
more of a kind or quality than
prudence and economy would alike
give sanction to. And by pursu
ing this manuer of business sooner
or later your outlay will become
equal, if not greater, than your in
come, and nothing will be laid by
for old age or to draw upon when
failures and calamities fall upon
us, as is quite often the case.
Next to and somewhat kindred
to extravagance is that kind of
leakage which grows out of the
use of luxuries of any and every
kind. Among the more blighting
and most to; be dreaded of these is
the habitual use ot beverages and
narcotics, which does not satisfy
hunger, nor enter into the bill of
shelter and raiment, bnt rather
tends to deplete tbe pocket-book
and to deaden one or more of the
five senses,^and permanently in
jure the great nervous centre.
Another class of leakage would
come under the head of negligence.
This has blighted the prospects
and destroyed the calculations of
many. If one’s neglects equal his
income, success will Dever crown
his efforts. If they equal half his
income twice the period will be
required to acquire a given fortune
than in their total absence; so
guard well against uegligence if
you wish to fill up the measure of
a successful farmer.
The western senators seem con
fident of their ability to pass a free
silver coinage bill at this session.
This, sort of talk seriously alarms
the President, it is snidJbecouse,in
his opinion, if a free coinage bill
were to be passed his chances for
renomination would be grpatly less
ened. If he should sign such a
bill tbe east would be against him,
and if he should veto such a bill
the west would be down on him. He
is so disturbed by the shadow of
free silver that he can hardly sleep.
The fear that he hasn’t any chance
for a renomination, whether a free
silver coinage bill is passed or not,
does not seem to have entered tnto
his calculations.
-Would-it be wise, he asks, under
the circumstances to put a south
ern man in the speaker’s Chair?
If the speaker and the chairmen
of committees were southern men,
would not that fact be made an is
sue by the republicans in the cam
paign of 1892, and would it not be
an issue that could be used in the
north with telling effect against
the democrats? Mr, Black seems
to admit the best material for
speaker is to be found among the
southern democrats, but he thinks
that it would-be good policy for the
southern democrats not “to urge
that fact in the selection of aspeak T
er, since the chairmanship of the
principal committees IsPill necessa
rily have to be given to southern
men.
Mr. Black thinks that Mr. Wil
son, of West Virginia, would make
a satisfactory speaker. His state
belongs to the west, rather than
than the south, and he took no
part in the civiL war. He is a very
able man, and is popular.
There is, of course, considerable
force in what Mr. BJpck says. But,
after all, is it not better to fill the
places of responsibility with those
best qualified for them? If Mr.
Crisp, for instance, is the best man
for speaker, would not the whole
country respect the democratic
majority more for electing him to
that position than for passing him
by for a less capable northern man,
simply for policy’s sake? The ma
jority of people have a greater re
gard for straightforward dealing
than for a course of procedure dic
tated by policy. They are never
deceived by themchemes of politi
cians intended to influence their
coarse of action.

Secretary Windom expressed to
a Senator his opinion of the prop
osition of Senator Stanford to lend
money to the farmers at 2 per
cent, upon their lands. Secretary
Windonf gravely infromed his call
er that he favored Mr. Stanford’s
proposition if he could add three
amendments to it. The first amend
ment was that the loans should be
extended to all classes of property.
There is no reason, he said", why a
special class of property should be
favored. Tbe second would be to
lend money to men who had” brains
but no property. His third amend
ment was to lend simply upon the
title of American citizenship to
men who-are so unfortunate as to
possess neither brains nor proper

Mr. Windom, with a cheerful smile
said, the proposition ; would un
doubtedly be hailed with great out
bursts offpopnlar approval.

.Surprising Testimony.
Many physicians wbo have ex
amined into the merits of B B B
(Bontanic Blood Balm), have
been confronted with testimony
which they deemed surprising,
and thus being convinced of its
wonderfnl efficacy, have not failed"
to prescribe it Id their practice as
occasion required.
H. L. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga.,
.writes: “For two years my wife
was a great sufferer. Skillful phy
sicians did her non good. Her
month was one solid ulcer, her
body was-broken out in sores, and
she lost a beautiful head of- hair.
Three bottles o£B B B cured her
completely, incredible as it may

tability of disposition, which serves
them in better stead, socially', than
all the virtues and accomplish
ments. Such a woman—for of
course women, men seldom paying
visits—finds out immediately just
what is expected of her in any
house which she enters, and—does
it. If she lias any preferences
about the hours of rising, or re
tiring, or walking, or doing any
thing else, she never allows them
to be seen, but appears to be doing
by choice the very things which
she finds that her entertainers wish
her to do. Her opinions are those
of her hosts/ her habits are theirs, '
her taste coincides with theirs.
This is not always a matter of cal
culation; there are some persons
so jelly-like m their constitutions
that they naturally fit into any
mold, and of this sort are the peo
ple who spend their lives in visit
ing. Without following their ex
ample to the length of sacrificing
rectitude and a proper spirit of in
dependence, we may easily put
ourselves and our opinions in the
background for a visit of reasona
ble length.
A lack of conforming, on the
part of a gnest, to the habits of a

necessarily of the aggressive sort,
but of. the inert kind, which may
be just as annoying.
“Sitting Bull,” said a western
man, “was one of the shrewdest
and most wily Indians that ever
lived. He had every Indian prej
udice to contend against in his
early life. He was not a chief,but
a medicine man. He was not a •
fighter, but by his natural ability
and indomitable will he gradually
overcame great chiefs and out
stripped them in the race' for tri
bal superiority, - In the end he
became the indisputable leader of
his people, but he was always re
garded as a usurper by less fortu
nate chiefs. He had many ene
mies among them, aud it is doubt
ful if any of the msre powerful
chiefs of the Sioux will grieve
much over the sudden and tragic
end of the famous old rascal, for
he was a rascal of the most treach
erous and cruel stamp.”
A portable telephone aparatus,
which can be carried on a train and
attached anywhere to a telegraph
wire iD two or three minutes, has.
been in use on the Austrian state
railroads for four 3 r ears. The
whole apparatus is contained in a
box about 9 inches wide, 10 inches
long, and 44 inches deep, and
forms a ready-means of hasty com*
munication between any point on
the lines and the adjacentstations.
At the rime of the fall of a bridge
last year this apparatus gave gold
en service. As an emergency de
vice it promises well.
