Wo wore in a parlor car on the Ca­
nadian Pacific, 40 miles out of Moosejaw, and westward hound. I met three
civil engineers, in the employ of tho
company, at Winnipeg, "and we were
chumming it to Vancouver.
“ Not half bad looking,” said Parkin
under his breath.
“ Deuced fine looking girl,” said Gra­
ham, with an admiring glance iu the
direction of tho star passenger.
“ Clean built and well groomed,”
muttered Clarke critically. “ I wonder
how sho talks. ”
I had heen regarding the young wom­
an carefully Sho was very pretty, hut
that was not alone what caused me to
transgress tho rules of good breeding by
staring hard at our charming vis-a-vis.
Was it fancy? A t any rate I could have
sworn that, as her eyes met mine over
tho top o f tho b lok, there was an ex­
pression in them which said as plainly
as words could have conveyed tho idea,
“ I desire to communicate. ”
It was like a Hash, this gesture of the
girl across tho way, and possibly I
might have been mistaken. Could sho
have been simply tossing back a stray
lock of the golden sheen that enveloped
her handsome head? Perhaps—but
then, that glance.
“ Lot’s go and smoke, ” said Parkin
rising and makingfor the smoking com­
partment.
“ I ’ll join you in a moment,” I said,
and m y companions filed out. As they
disappeared down the aislo I cast a
guarded glanco in the direction o f the
young woman. She had dropped the
book to her knees and was leaning for­
ward slightly. One white hand lay on
the plush covered arm o f tho seat, the
other still separated the leaves of tho
magazine. Her lustrous eyes were gaz­
ing straight at me. Her lips, parted
slightly, seemed about to address me.
Surely there could bo no mistaking tho
situation, but still, I reflected, i t was
weU to be guarded in such matters.
Having filled my cigar case from a box
in m y grip, preserving meanwhile what
I have always flattered myself was an
air o f indifference, I made a move to re­
join my companions. Then, with a quick
motion of the body, a nervous gesture of
the hand, she spoke.
“ I beg your pardon, ” she said. “ I —
er— that Is—w ill you grant me a mo­
ment’s conversation?”
A h, thevoice was not disappointing
— quite the reverse I thought—w ell
modulated, subdued, ladylike, in a
word, hut unmistakably American.
“ I shall he profoundly honored,” I
answered, approaching the plush throne
of my fascinating neighbor.
“ Pray sit down— er— that is— if I am
not detaining you,” she went on, with
tho sweetest smile in the world, indicat­
ing at tho same time a seat opposite her
own.
“ Coolest cheek I ever encountered,”
was m y Silent reflection, but I sat down
and awaited developments.
“ It is so— er—such a difficult matter
to approach,” she began in a queer sort
of way. ‘ ‘I wish w e knew each other a
liftle better, you know.”
“ Heaven send the opportunity,” I
spoke with all the gallantry at my com­
mand. “ Lost her purse—wants to bor­
row money—father a minister in Mont­
real, and all that sort of. thing,” I
thought, and then kicked myself fo r
harboring such an idea. “ I f I can he or
any possible service,” I said, “ I shall
be charmed. ”
“ Sir,’ she replied, with an appealing
gesture, “ you are able to render me an
immense service— if you w ill But stay
— of course you consider my addressing
you in this manner on unpardonable im­
pertinence. I am an American, you
know,” sho continued, with a quaint
little pride In the saying o f it, “ and
(with a touch of heroics) a business
woman.”
“ Pardon m o,” I ventured. “ A lady
can address a gentleman under almost
any conceivable circumstances.”
“ Will you, then, accept my card,”
she proceeded, offering a tiny slip of
cardboard. I took it and read the in­
scription. “ Margaret Stanford, Special
Correspondent.” In the lower left hand
corner was printed in larger type the
name of a well known San Francisco
paper.
“ Ah, I have heard of you, ” I remark­
ed. I never had, hut then it is the
proper thing to say to a newspaper
woman. She likes you all the better for
it, although satisfied that you have lied.
Miss Stanford smiled graciously.
“ That was nice of you,” shesaid quiet­
ly, and then, without more ado, went
at the heart o f her dilemma.
“ Do you know the crown prince of
Austria?’ *.she began.
“ No— I left Vienna when only 4
and” —
“ Oh, please don’t frivol,” cried my
little friend from Frisco. “ It’s too seri­
ous a matter.”
“ What? Knowing the prince or not
knowing him?”
“ Both,” she replied, with an air of
exasperation. “ But listen. The Crown
Prince Ferdinand of Austria is on this
train. His car is a special in the rear of
ours, and he is tonring the Rockies. I
have been sent to obtain an interview
with him, but my card has been return­
ed twice by Count Somebody-or-other,
who is one o f the suite. To all intents
and purposes the prince has refused to
see m e.”
“ The idiot,” I ejaculated— “ er—I—
mean— the man must be insane. ”
“ N o,” said Miss Stanford, ignoring
my remark, “ he’s been talked to death,
that’ s a ll I overheard your conversa­
tion and'discovered your profession.
You are a‘newspaper man.”
“ True,” I said, “ but if the prince
w ill not receive you he certainly w ill
not listen to m y request. ”
“ Here is a plan, ” Went on my jour­
nalistic friend, “ I must see the prince.
It’s absolutely necessary to my future.
I am determined to talk to him. There
is no one else in this part of the oar but
ourselves. Suppose you forced an unwel­
come attention on me—what should I
be most, likely to do?”
“ You’d run. away, wouldn’t you?” I
hazarded;

“ Run where?” she gasped. “ Where
should I run to?”
“ Into the next car, by Jove, ” I an­
swered, catching the daring idea.
*‘ That’ s it. ’ ’ And the girl from Frisco
literally danced in her seat with delight.
“ Don’t you understand—tho prince is
young, he is chivalrous—even hot head­
ed, they say. I f you w ill pursue me in­
to the next car I w ill be your friend for
life. Will you do it?”
She sat therewith hothhands extend­
ed toward me in an attitude of suppli­
cation. I saw Parkin coming down the
aisle from the smoker in the rear end,
and witnessed the astonishment on his
face. He decked out again as silently as
a ghost.
It was risky business this chasing
women into prince’s caravans, but still
it wag business. Lord, if I could only
get that royal Austrian to punch my
head, that and the story leading up to it
would sell like a new Yankee toy in the
Strand. It was a good enough thing to
take a chance on.
“ A ll right, ” I said. “ G o o n .”
Like lightning she was off down the
aisle, past the smoking compartment,
where m y Winnipeg friends were await­
ing my arrival, and into the rear coach.
Three piercing shrieks nttered as she
disappeared brought a crowd of foreign
notables to her rescue, and I was uncer­
emoniously hustled off the platform by
one of the biggest of the lot. The next
instant I was struggling desperately in
the arms of those three engineers from
Winnipeg, who swore I had suddenly
gone insane and wanted to telegraph my
friends. It took me half an hour to ex­
plain matters to them and to the con­
ductor, whose indignation passed all
understanding. Then Miss Stanford
emerged, leaning on the arm of a stiff
hacked dignitary o f the Austrian court,
who bowed her into our car with pro­
found ceremony.
“ Shake hands,” she cried, her face
flashed with excitement and satisfac­
tion, “ shake hoth hands, kiss me if you
want to. I ’ve got it—the best story that
ever was printed. ”
Somehow I always thought that Miss
Stanford forgot to print the best part of
the story. And this is the whole truth
about that interview with Ferdinand.—

public.
E a r ly Uso o f Gunpowder.
War destroys, and at the same time is
the incentive for the creation o f new
things. War and iron are inseparably
linked together. The discovery o f gun­
powder caused a complete revolution In
the manufacture o f iron. The mixing of
snlphnr, saltpeter and coal as a toy had
been known for a long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of gunpowder in
the fourteenth century only refers to
the application o f powder during that
century for the purposes of war. To
credit the Monk Eertold Schwarz, or
Black, With the discovery of gunpowder
is incorrect. However, his investiga­
tions Into the nature of powder and its
constituents for use as an applicable
force in gnus produced a radical change
in tho then customary warfare, and
from that standpoint Bertold Schwarz
deserves to he recognized as the pro­
moter o f modem warfare.
Hundreds o f years before Schwarz’s
time the Chinese used gunpowder.
The invention o f field guns is credited
to the Chinese Emperor Yitey, or Wnt-i,
who lived 140 years before Christ. Dur­
ing the eleventh century the Tartars
learned the use of gunpowder from the
Chinese. The Arabs acquired the knowl­
edge of gunpowder from the Tartars
and ore said to have used cannon at the
siege of Lisbon In 1147. The Greek fire
was invented in COS A. D., and besides
setting fire to the enemies’ ships and
cities was used to shoot leaden balls
out c f metal cannon. Marcus Graccns,
who lived A. D. 1204-1261. describes
gunpowder as a mixture of two pounds
of coal, a pound of snlphnr and six
pounds of saltpeter.— Iron Age.

DO FISHES TALK?
H e r:
I b T estim on y F rom a 31ail W h o
Thinks T h ey Do.
Wvj have heard of the language of
monk-jys, and of the language of bens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it w ill be a new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
a language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating a notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr. Andrew, at
Guilford. England. Those ponds are full
of trout, which, at the time when Mr.
Field first visited them, were so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight— a great number
— rushed eagerly upon It. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it hack into the pond.
Then he put In a freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
a trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth­
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr, Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under­
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, hut came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes hack
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re­
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may he
called a “ language.”

The New York Sun says that during
the last two years there has been a
steady decrease in the wages of women,
and it seems likely to go further. There
are several causes for the decrease. For
one thing, men are now entering em­
ployments which formerly belonged ex­
clusively to women. These men are
mostly Polos, Hungarians and Italians,
who w ill work for the smallest of
wages. Foreign women are also com­
ing in and accepting wages which
American women cannot think of tak­
ing. Employers resort to various meth­
ods for forcing down wages. During
the holidays they take on cheap help,
and when tho rush is over keep the new
girls and drop the old employees. Many
women are said to he working for from
80 to 60 cents per day, and the army of
unemployed is steadily increasing.—

BLOOD SPOT IN ITS PULP.
T he “Rilke” A p p le T h ou g h t t o Com m em ­

A peculiar species of fruit is the
“ Mike” apple. It has a fair skin, an
excellent flavor and is extensively prop­
agated in the vicinity of Norwich, Conn.
Each individual apple exhibits some­
where in. its pulp a red speck, like a
tinge of fresh blood, and thereby hangs
a strange legend.
The apple obtains its name from Micah Rood, a farmer who lived upon the
outlands of the Connecticut town in the
eighteenth century. The son of Thomas
Rood, one of Norwich’s early settlers,
Hicah tilled his fertile acres with all
the zest of youthful ambition.
But of a sudden his habits changed.
Ho grew idle, restless and intemperate.
He lost all interest in both work and
worship.- His cattle were neglected and
his neighbors shunned. Some attributed
tho change to witchcraft. Others hinted
at insanity.
Winter wore away, spring returned,
and the orchard of Micah Rood burst
into blossom. On one tree, it was then
observed, the flowers had turned from
white to red. The superstitious neigh­
bors wondered, especially as Rood seemed
drawn to this tree by some resistless
fascination. August camo and the red
blossoms developed into fruit. When
the large yellow apples fell from the
branches, each one was found to con­
tain a well defined globule, known
thereafter as “ the drop of blood. ”
The freak of the apple tree deepened
the mystery of Micah’s behavior. Con­
jecture followed surmise, and soon it
was remembered that during the pre­
vious fall a foreign peddler had passed
through Norwich and had spent the
night at Micah Rood’s. He had never
heen seen again. Some one suggested
that the young farmer had murdered
him for his money and buried the body
under tho apple tree.
Search was made for the body of the
stranger, hut in vain. Nor was any
trace of his stock found among the
possessions of the unhappy Micah: If a
lead of crime rested upon the conscience
of the suspected farmer, it never forced
a confession from his lips. His farm
drifted gradually to decay, and, too
broken down to reclaim it, he wander­
ed about town, disordered in mind and
body.
He died in 1728, but while the blood
spotted apple continues to grow his
name and history w ill he perpetuated.

T n o W o rld F ly e r to Syracu se Made
68 3 M iles an H our fo r 148 Miles.
From Xetr Itgivk World,. Sept, so.
The World hired a special train of
theN ew Y ork Central Railroad yester­
day, to carry its regular morning edi­
tion to the breakfast tables o f the Dem­
ocratic delegates at Syracuse. Tues­
day’s special was a succes’ , bnt yester­
day’s special was a triumph.
Especial efforts where made by the
railroad company, ami the world’s rec­
ord fo r speed was broken. The train
made the 291 miles in 292 minutes,
including the slowdown and stop o f
tw o minutes for a change o f engine
at Alban” , and the slow down for the
streets o f Syracuse.
The World special left at 3.15 a. m.
The bundle o f papers were hurried
from the big presses in the basement
o f the Rnlitzer Building to the station,
at Forty-second street.
But they were not hurried before
that time.
The pr. sses were open, as
usual, to receive the 1-u est news from
all parts o f the. world. A t this partic­
ular time the latest news was vvliat
the committees at Syracuse were doing.
Those eoimuiUtes did not adjourn un­
til 2 a. m., hut what they had done
was in The World office straightway
upon the adjournment, and was in the
copies o f The World that started for
Syracuse at 3:15.
Engine 897 took the tram to Albany.
It was a fast run looking at it one way,
hut a si >w run for record breaking.
The train reached Albany at 5:55 a m.
It bad made the 143 miles in l(!0 min­
utes.
A t Albany e. gine 999, the World’s
Fait giant, took the place o f 897. Ed

than the weight o f the English recordbreaking train.
The best stretch o f track the Central
has is that between Albany and Buffa­
lo, It was not an ideal on ruing for
breaking a record, because the fog bad
wet the rails. The delay at Albany
was only two minutes.
A t 0:57 a m ,

the speed the train moved easily and
did not toss the passengers about.
A t Syracuse tunnel there was a
slowdown.
Up to that time the aver­
age speed front Albany had been 68 9
miles an hour. But even with the slow­
down the world’s record was broken.
The 148 miles between Albany station
and Syracuse station were made in 130

th e D e v o lo p e m o n t o f the A g ricu ltu ra l
D epartm en t,
There js a vague idea in some quar­
ters that the occupation of fanning is
one o f the lost arts, and that at the
present lime comparatively few people
are engaged in it. What has, perhaps,
contributed to this impression more
than anything else are the statements
which frequently find their way in the
p u b ic prints in regard to people leav­
ing their homes in the country and go­
ing to the cities. It is not surprising
then’ that there should be an idea that
farming is in its decadence, and that
the class pf people who gain tlnir live
lihood from the soil isgradually dimin­
ishing in numbers. Ih e facts, howev­
er, do not justify this opinion.
A ccording to Mr. Morton, the Seere
tary o f Agriculture, there, are in the
United States more than 0,000,000
farms, where are located the homes of
more than 30,000,000 of the population
in this country. It is evident from
these figures that nearly fifty per cent
o f the population live in the country,
as distinguished from towns and vil­
lages. Jt is further estimated by the
Secretary of Agriculture that these
farm-dwellers furnish more than 74
per cent o f the yaiue pf the exports of
this country.
In point of numbers, as well as in
their contributions to the wealth of
the country, and farmers constitute
perhaps the most important element of
our population. It is evident that the
interests o f this class are considered
by Congress, especially i f any weight
can be attached to the am unit of mon­
ey, whieh is annually' expended under
the auspices o f the'Agricultural De­
partment. During the year
the'
appropriations for the Aur-cohuiial
Departnent amounted to nearly tlnee
and one-half millions o f do l«rs, and
this large sum pf money w js ixp.-i tied
in - investigations, and iu directions
that were deemed o f impottanse v..luito the agricultural interne's.

bnt the force found necessary to be
kept here is increasing in such propor­
tions that the department has already
out grown the present building, addi­
tional room is found in structures
which h.av.e been erected on the grounds.
The design o f .the department ia to
afford assistance to Urn far/per and to
supply him with information which
will be irefu l in his calling, F or this
reason the department employs'a class
o f experts, men o f scientific training,
who investigate soils, t e effect o f
climate on plants, the character o f fer­
tilizers and other subjects which pre­
sent daily problems to the agricultur­
ist. There is another duty which bus
been, assigned the department, and its
performance serve? t,Q advance the in­
terests o f the farming class, it also pro­
tects the public, and that is the efforts
which are made to prevent ttie impor­
tation o f .digeased cattle, and also-to
inspect 'meat.
One of the importanjfc functions o f
the department is the Study o f the hab­
its o f destrtetive injects and the sug­
gestion o f the bestniPans of putting an
end to the damage which they cause,
and to lead ultimately t.. their extinc­
tion. A great deal lias been done by the
department in diffusing information
relative to the cultivation of fruits and
small nuts, calling the attention >.f

ties that can profit bly be raised in the
various sections o f the country, and in

The influence o f the department is

effective, a sy stem o f ex) erinvent sta­
tions has been inaugurated in various
localities there the localities where the
local needs are studied and where
practical methods are worked out and
result 'made known to the fanners.
The fa ct that farming has held its
own in the, contest with other occupa­
tions is an evidence that the cultiva­
tors o f t.he soil have kept abreast of
the limes and that modern methods
now rule the farms.

YE BOWERIE GHOST.
Mata than two centuries agone, when
old Patras Stayvesant and his silver
banded wooden leg ruled the destinies
of New Amsterdam, there was a w ell
known place of refreshment in that co­
lonial townknown by the worthy burgh­
ers as the Wnrsthans. It stood upon the
east side of the Old Post or Bowerio
road, not far from the present point of
junction with Division street.
The* then suburban location of the
Wnrsthaus made Stand its jovial host—
Hans von Schneist—w ell known and
patronized by the townsmen and their
families.
But a change came o ’er the smiling
features and jocund laugh of the host of
the Wnrsthaus when his only son was
proclaimed an outlaw. Some boyish in­
discretion of speech had been magnified
by the hearers, and coming to the ears
o f the suspicions old director general
had resulted in the decree. Young Hans
had received timely warning, however,
and was supposed to have reached the
Swedish colony in safety.
Several months passed away, and one
evening young Jacob Twiller related the
follow ing weird adventure to the won­
dering crowd gathered around the cen­
tral table in the Wnrsthaus garden:
“ I was eel spearing in the Freshwater
pond last evening, and by the time the
moon was overhead had fillod m y creel
I started to walk home. I had hut pass­
ed the Wnrsthaus when just ahead Of
me 1 spied a tall figure wrapped in a
long gray cloak. Thinking that no one
except the watch.could be abroad at that
hour, o f the night, except w ith some
evil purpose in view, I suited m y pace
to his, meaning to let him precede me
toward the city w a ll But scarce had
we progressed in this manner for a few
hundred yards or so when the figure
turned, and holding its arms aloft made
menacing gestures as i f forbidding me
to approach.
■» “ Overburdened with m y fishing traps
X felt powerless, and so knelt on the
ground so as to more easily remove the
strap of the creel from off m y shoulders.
But as I kneeled the ghost—for such it
surely was—had vanished from sight,
and though I hunted w ell about I could
find no trace except mayhap asmoke,
smelling strongly of sulphur, which I
breathed in m y nostrils as I came near
to that part o f the ground from which
he had vanished.”
Nothing could shake the valiant Ja­
cob’ s circumstantial details o f the en­
counter, and though the town cynic
sneered, the group gathered closer to­
gether around the central table and
made haste home in good season.
Within a week Boelof Jans, the pop­
ular butt and scapegrace, added still
more to the mysterious tale of his pred­
ecessor. While agreeing with Jacob in
the general appearance o f the gray
cloaked figure, he furnished additional
details by which it would seem that a
long barbed tail was a feature in the
phantom and that it walked amid
belching clouds o f smoke
And then came the climax. Adam
Boelandsen stated to the captain o f the
watch that he had encountered the gray
cloaked phantom ; that it came out from
the Wnrsthaus, but hastily turned and
re-entered the door ere he could summon
up courage to advance or retreat.
Here was a pretty condition of affairs!
The habitues of old Hans Von Sghneist’s
place quaked in their very shoes at the
bare supposition that they had been
drinking the brewings of one who was
seemingly in league with the evil one.
And so it came to pass that the stout
old captain of the watch, at the head of
his little squad, came to investigate the
Wnfsthans. For some reason old Hans
did not come to the door, and when the
captain o f the watch entered the big
taproom he found mine host tightening
the hoops o f an enormous butt that stood
in the darkest comer. The crowd of
sightseers, at first fearful of forked
tongues o f flame and other chronicled
attributes o f the evil one, were timorous
of entering the house. But gathering
courage from the assembled military,
and particnlarly impressed b y the gal­
lant bearing o f the commandant, they
gradually inched forward, until very
soon almost every available space was
occupied.
“ Good morning, Herr Von Schneist1”
spoke the captain.
“ Good morning to yon, herr cap­
tain, and to you, soldiers and fellow
citizensP’ answered the sturdy old tav­
ern keeper. “ What means this array?
A m 1 accused of treason, or are yon
merely come to test the malt in my
brewings”
“ It is neither o f false brewing nor of
treason you are accused, Herr Von
Schneist, nor yet of anything coming
within the civil or military law. Some
there he who say that yon are in league
with the evil one. Step forward, Adam
Boelandsen, and tell your tale again, so
that this worthy man w ill know our
business.”
Then came shambling forward the
pedagogue, who, with many pauses and
apologetic utterances, spoke as follow s:
“ You have all heard, and some few
have seen, the gray cloaked figure that
walks the Bowerie road at night time.
Some there are who say it hath a tail
like unto the evil one, and divers others
aver that it is surrounded by clouds of
rolling brimstone smoke. I spent last
evening with John Verlocht up at his
gristmill the other side of Gorlears
Hook, teaching and explaining to him
the new method o f multiplication. We
had scarce half a score mugs of ale and
m y head was clear as a bell when I saw
a gray cloaked figure hastily enter the
door o f the Wnrsthaus.”
“ You w ill agree, Herr von Schneist,
that it is mybounden duty to search
your premises?” quoth the captain.
“ Assuredly, herr captain,” he re­
plied, “ but before you begin I w ill
serve you and your men with some o f
m y new ale.” Without giving them
time to answer he hustled toward the
Mg butt in the dark corner and straight­
way dispensed a generous measure of the
beverage to them. N ot having such high
Opinions of the power of his satanic
majesty as the citizens, they quaffed it
down, but pronounced i t stale and flat.
Then began a scene o f turmoil and
confusion, enough to make the vronw’is
heart break with anguish. Bnt though
the iron bound linen chest was; turned
upside down and emptied of its contents
in an unseemly manner, and though
closets were upturned, beds overthrown
and the whole house pulled out at cor­
ners, shenever murmured or complained.
But nothing was found and though
the taproom was nguuy passed over
there was no place in it that a man
could hide— except possibly the big butt
in the dark corner. That, however, was
fu ll o f ale—-forhad they not drank some
o f it?
And so the watch marched away emp­
ty handed, and left to the host and his
vrouw the task of putting things to
rights.
The gray cloaked demon was seen
several times thereafter, but no con­
certed attempt was made to follow it
up. About two months from the time
of the fruitless search the few faithful
adherents of the Wnrsthaus noted that
both Hans and his wife wore very grave
faces. In a few days they announced
that a young traveler from Boston was
dangerously i ll in the darkened bedroom
up stairs, and -the Dutch physician—
who had bnt just arrived from Holland
—was sent far. He came again and
again, and the faces o f the worthy
couple showed a deep sympathy for the
youthful guest. Finally the doctor came
in the middle of thenight and staid till
morning, but the soul of his patient fled
before the da.wn.
Heavy grief o ’erhnng the Schneist
household, and. the Wnrsthaus was
closed till after the funeral Even then
old Hans showed a settled grief in his
altered demeanor.
Observant neighbors noted that the
big butt in tho corner was never used
after the soldiers drank from it, and
when a few months had sped, and com­
parisons came to be made, it was found
that the gray cloaked phantom had
never been seen since the young stranger
was taken sick. It was also commented
upon that no one came from Boston to
inquire about him. But thero was a
many who believed till their dying day
that it was a genuine ghost that had
been seen by Jacob Twiller et al., glid­
ing along the old Bowerie road.— Fierce

The Tanner’s T rim fes A dopted by tho
Tanners* H ide and Leather Association.
The hido houses aro crowded with
country hides which the tanners refuse
to take because they are not properly
trimmed. Tanners, bntoliers and dealers
ought all strive to improve the condi­
tion of hides and skins for market. With
a view to assisting in this improvement
is here reproduced from the Chicago
Hide and Leather an illustration show­
ing the usual form and trim of a hide
taken off by country butchers, along
with directions for the tanner’s trim.

tion of the United States, is shown by

the dotted lines, indicating what should
be taken off, and the letters a and b
show bad form in skinning. In the tan­
ner’s trim these instructions are ob­
served :
Take off lower ja w and upper tip behind the
nostrils.
Tho pato between the eyes.
The horns and ears.
The cheek, when throat is ca t across.
Tho fore legs at the knee.
The hind legs midway between knee and
dew claws, or higher up when cut across.
A ll tags caused b y unskilled skinning. (See
dotted lines.)
The points marked *‘ a” should appear at
“ b ” i f properly skinned.
The parts marked to be cut off are
worthless to the tanner, bnt have a value
for glue stock, yet from distant points
this value would not equal the cost of
freight. Butchers w ill see how a large
part of the trim on this hide would be
avoided by care in skinning. The trim
is nearly the same as has boon made in
New York for years. A ll foreign hides
and some western are trimmed even
closer than this.
I t w ill increase the popularity of any
regular shipper to put them in this
shape, and a considerable saving of
freight w ill be made and risk of damage
avoided. The tanners are demanding it
shall be done.
Some other points of importance may
be mentioned here. Snnburued hides
cause much loss. It is believed that this
occurs in the first 24. hours after a hide
is taken off. If butchers w ill leavo hides
spread out in shade for that time before
hanging np, it may be avoided. Scored,
grubby, fallen and badly branded hides
are more and more avoided by tauners.
In New York all such hides go at onethird off. The western hides will soon
have to conform to some rule.
W h e e t F o r Seed.
W. G. Latta, writing from the Indiana
station to Prairie Farmer, gives some
advice of use wherever wheat is grown.
He says: The seed should be sound,
plump, heavy, and of strong vitality.
To this end, the wheat from which the
seed is to he obtained should be allowed
to become fully ripe and should not ho
subject . to prolonged dampness, which,
w ill cause mold in the shock and heat
ing in the stack or bin.
The common practice of passing wheat
for seed through the fanning mill is a
good one, hut it should he repeated i f
necessary with a strong blast to screen
and blow out all small, light and
shrunken kernels,-leaving only plump
seed for sowing. If necessary to treat
the seed wheat for “ bunt” the lighter
kernels may be skimmed Off, which will
further improve the quality of the seed.
If the crop from which the seed wheat
is obtained contains any “ bunt.” or
stinking smut, it should be treated after
screening with “ bluestone” or hot
water to destroy the germs. We prefer
the hot water treatment which tends to
re-enforce the germinating power of the
seeds, whereas the blue stone treatment
tends to retard the germination and rcdnee the yield of the crop.

TH E RETIRED BURGLAR. ~
W o r k E a sily F rosecn ted I n tlie T u m u lt o t
a Th un derstorm .
“ Speaking o f cinches,” said the re­
tired burglar, “ the easiest, softest,
smoothest snap I ever struck was in a
house in a small town in Bhode Island.
There was a thunderstorm coming up
as I went along toward this house, and
just as I got there it began to sprinkle.
B y the time I ’d got inside it was com­
ing down pretty hard, and I was glad
to he under shelter, for I hadn’t brought
any umbrella with me. I hadn't had
any supper either, and when I got into
the dining room I thought I ’d get some­
thing to eat. The sideboard was locked
and the key carried np stairs, hut a lit­
tle jimmy opened the door as easy as a
knife would open a pie. I set out a lit­
tle snack on the table and sat down and
ate it comfortably, with the rain pour­
ing down outside. I f thege’s anything I
like, it ’s to hear a storm a-raging outside
when you’re settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
“ But here was something I hadn’t
counted on. The thunder was roaring
and plunging like a dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house in a trembieall the time.
I knew nobody could sleep in that thun­
der. They’d be sure to be all awake,
but here I was, and I hated to lose a
night, and after I ’d waited a little and
the storm didn’t show any signs of lot­
ting np I thought I 'd go ahead an see
anyhow. The very first room H ooked
into up stairs settled the whole busi­
ness.
“ Over in one comer o f this room, be­
yond a bed, I saw a woman standing in
front of an open closet door. Two ch il­
dren hopped ont of the bed, and the
mother poshed them into the closet, and
then crowded in herself and pulled the
door shot tight. It was a ll very simple.
Hnsband away, no help; two children
sleeping in another room, woke np by
thunder, come into their mother’s room,
all scared; mother puts children in
closet and gets in herself, as lots o f folks
do in thunderstorms. And then lw a lk
over and turn the key in the lock, and
there you are. No danger o f their com­
ing ont till the storm is over anyway,
but just as well to be sure about it, and
then I just quietly go through the house.
It isn’ t big, and it doesn’t take long, and
I come back before the storm is over and
unlock the closet door again end ship,
and that’ s a ll there is to it.-” -!fc*r
For a wheat seed bed one wants firm­
ness as well as fineness Uso the roller
two or three times, tho last time just
before drilling. If tho soil is fine and
well firmed, it w ill draw up moisture
from below, nearly always. Being firm
below tlio seed, it brings the moisture to
the seed to cause it to sprout. The inch
o f mellow soil acts as a mulch and the
sprout comes np through it readily. T.
B. Terry, a successful Ohio farmer who
sows wheat on potato stubble, writes in
relation to the amount of seed to theOhio Farmer as follows:
If I can get the wheat in by tho 10th
of September, 1 sow SO quarts of wheat
as small as Fultz. If two weeks later,
would sow eight quarts more. The
wheat would thou have less time to
stool out, and I would help make tins
up by having more plants. One needs
about so much growth for winter pro­
tection. This might not be seed enough
for some soils. If I sow too mnoh seed,
the wheat is more liable to lodge. It
makes the straw weaker to have too
many plants. Plenty of room and sun­
light makes healthier, stiffer straw. We
have tried all tlio way from a 'bushel to
3 1._,, and after long experience couchido
tlie amount named to be as uenvly right
for ns as we can toll beforehand, with­
out knowing what tlio season will be.
Of course v;e would sow more of a wheat
having a very large berry, such as tlie
early red Clawson. Tho Fultz is small,
and 3(> quarts givo a pretty good stand.
T h rashin g C om .
A Michigan farmer, reporting to The
Home, Farm and Fireside, says: “ Do
not thrash your corn. I f yon run a
thrasher and have never thrashed com,
yon would better not begin now. Three
years ago there was a mania in this vi­
cinity (Portland) among the fanners for
thrashing com, bnt they don't thrash
any com now. The reason is that after
it is thrashed it w ill not keep. It will
heat in spite of all that can be done. I
thrashed about 200 bushels for myself
four years ago, and a part of it heated
and spoiled. Another thing, it is very
hard on a thrasher, and nothing hut an
old machine should bo used, ”
A Wisconsin farmer, writing on the
same subject, said: “ Com can be
thrashed by cutting down the concave
teeth to an inch or a little less. The
com must be w ell dried. It is better to
stack the fodder and thrash after cold
weather. It w ill thrash out nearly as
fast as small grain, and stock eat the
stover better than that run through a
cutter. The stover should be put under
shelter, or it w ill spoil. ”

Chat of a remarkable leap for liberty
“ About In years ago 1 prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime of burglary
He was convicted and sentenced to pris­
on for a term of six years. After sen­
tence, as ha was being conveyed by a
deputy sheriff from tho courtroom to
the jail, across the passage connecting*the two buidirgs, which 1 have often
regarded as a ‘ Bridge of Sighs,'the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand failing, which was then tlie
only protection of the bridge, landed on
his feet 45 feet below, apd, recovering
himself, made a bold dash for liberty
He started on a run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in a bam not far from Lincoln park
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, liis eyes flashing, his shirt, col
lar thrown open, he looked like a young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to state's prison, where he
served his ten:}
“ Passing over the Clark Street bridge
there recurred to me tlie memory of an
other leap— one for life One evening
about five'years ago ou approaching, that
bridge 1 found it open and a crowd of
about 1,500 men and woman in a state
of excitement. A policeman informed
me that a woman had fallen into the
river. 'What’s being done to save her?'
I demanded Before the officer had a
chance to reply a young feljpw rushed
through tho crowd, threw off his coup
and vest, put his hands together and
shot into the water. He caught the
woman as She was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety
“ 1 heard a unm say to the rescuer,
‘ What’s your 11111110?' ‘ 1 have 110 name
in which the public is interested, ‘ he
repled. ‘ But you’re a hero,’ urged the
man, ‘ and your name deserves to be

his head and peremptorily refused to rli

Caught On—Tho Preacher D idn’ t F u lly
Succeed In A p p ea rin g U nsophisticated.
T he L ittle Ham’s K in g Tactics.
A preacher told this story at a wed­
ding cupper on tho South Side the other
evening:
“ I Was riding along a country road
near Bloomington,” he said, “ when I
noticed a group of sheep in a pasture.
Thero was a largo open spac.o in tho
midst of tho flock, and at either end of
the space stood a ram. In tho center,
but standing a little at one sido, was a
third ram. Tho two rams had evidently
had a falling out about somothing, or
elso thoy had como to sottlo iu a friend­
ly contest which was tho better ram,
Bam No. 8 scorned to bo acting as—
jndgo, umpire— what do you call it?
Befcrcc? Yes, (hat’s it, tlio third ram
was tho reforoo. I don’ t know undor
what rules tho mooting took place. It
may have been Qnoensbci-ry or Rosebery.
Yon sco I am not np to these technical
matters.
“ When all tho preliminaries had been
arranged and both contestants had been
cautioned apparently that thero was to
bo no ‘ fouling’— I think I havo seen
that word in (ho newspapers occasional­
ly, and tiieicforo I supposo it is a cor­
rect word to uso in this connection—
each backed off to tho farthest limits of
tho circle,, which, by (ho way, was not
a squared circle. Tho referoo stopped
ont of (ho way, and tho rams dashed to­
ward each other. When their heads
eamo together, (hero was a terrific crash,
and tlio forco of tho concussion threw
thorn as far apart as the length of this
tablo. ”
All the guests looked the full length
of tho table from (ho passion flowers at
one cud (0 tho bride’s cako in tho far
perspective, uud then at tho preacher in
tho middle distance, but nobody said
aLythiug.
“ Then,” coat'nued tho preacher,
“ they took t heir places, apparently nano
tlie worse for tho encounter. Again, evi­
dently at a preconcerted signal from tho
referee, they dashed together. This time
the shock was even more terrific than
the first, and I noticed that as ouo of
them went back to his— ah, what do
they call it, corner?—ho was a littlo un­
steady on his legs. ”
“ Groggy!” ventured tho bride.
“ I balievo that is tho technical term, ”
replied tho preacher, “ although, as I
havo intimated, I am not at all familiar
with sporting phraseology. When time
was called for tho third round— ahem—
that is, I mean to say when tho rams
had recovered strength for. a third col­
lision — there was another rush, a
crash, and one of tho rams, tho ouo you
so apily described as ‘ groggy’ (with an
acknowledgment to the bride) fe ll to
his kuces. His adversary did not seem
inclined to follow np his advantage, bnt
possibly ho may havo been restrained by
(he rules o f tho meeting. A t any rate,
after contemplating his fallen foe grave­
ly for a moment ho walked back to his
place. Tho other ram, after resting
briefly, frirnggied to his foot. Tho third
ram— i o one I havo called tho referee
— looked at him rather inquiringly, as
it seemed to mo, bnt the waivsto- show­
ed no sign of recognition. He ambled
to his side of the ring and faced about.
A murmur of some sort scorned to go
through tko fleck. Tho odds were ap­
parently 8 (o 1 in favor of tho other
ram— that i.i to jvv, it reemed to be the
general <p :i:cu (hat tho rum with the
weak Luces had b o n outclassed, as tho
other cue was decidedly the heavier of
the. two.
“ However, (he. smaller ram seemed
to have won lerfal reoupsrativQ powers.
When tho prop.-,- interval had elapsed,
ho camo up !-u:i.'ng, as it were. I even
thought I eoul.li coatwiuklo in his oyo,
for 1 was quite close to (ho fence, and
this thing took place only a littlo dis
(ancoawav. As tho refe co stepped hack
from tlio cutter cf the ring, where he
kept his position between the meetings,
the other (wo rains drove at each o(her
pellmcil. At tho very instant when
their hard horns would have met, how­
ever, (he smaller ram suddenly changed
his course to tho right, and the other
wont through, the r.mk) like a catapult.
“ Just as ho turned about, evidently
boiling ever with indignation at the
trick which liad been played on him,
the other cue, with the added forco given
by a longer run from one sido of the Cir­
cle to a point, several feet outside of it,
where the larger ram’s momentum had
carried him, shot at him like a eannen
ball, striking him full in the face and
driving him several feet away, where
I10 lay limp and helpless. The third
ram, who was promptly on the spot, as
I supposo every competent referee should
bo, uodded his head several times—in­
deedit looked to me as if he was count­
ing— and 'hm4 tho fallen ram failing to
rise ilie whole flock marohod away to­
ward a knoll in another part of .the
meadow with the victorious ram at the
head. Presently the defeated ram got
pn his feet and made his way to a se­
cluded spot down by a little run, where
I saw him reclining in the shade o f a
large willow tree as I rode away. ’ ’

LONDON SQUARES.
Some o f the Ouaint Breathing Spots In
the English Metropolis.
Some of these are quaint and charm­
ing onough, being mostly laid out in the
Dutch fashion. Golden square, near
Regent street; Red Lion and Queen
squares, in Bloomsbury, are capital
specimens. The first, though so close to
Regent street, might bo n dozen miles
away. There is a welcome unkempt­
ness; the grass is rank and wild ; there
are old trees ranged rouud its border in
a symmetrica! way. The houses round
are picturesque, because each is distinct.
It is given over to commission agents,
merchants and trade generally, yet
within bnt a few years it was a place of
genteel residence, like a usual square,
aud we find the late Cardinal Wiseman
living in a substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it w ill be remembered, placed
Ralph Nickle.by’s house here, which is
described on the occasion of the party to
Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry as hav­
ing almost palatial apartments and the
richest furniture. As we wander round,
we are struck with the melancholy tone
of tho inclosnre, yet everything seems
brisk enough, but it belongs to the old
world.
Tlio square itself is very attractive
and original, with a sort of Dutch or
foreign air. We noth the. tine trees which
