It Lad been Knowing all tbo morning, and a no ono had been to the farm Luiiite, I'atty Lad Imh-ii having a very dull time. Right after breakfast she had helped mamma do the dishes, had made her bod (for alio was an industrious little girl) and then alio had dressed and undressed Arabilla until ho vas tired even of her. Now, however, ulio was very much excited, for when lr. tlray came in front of her house ou Lil way to sco poor. Hick Mm. James, ho saw I'atty in the window and called to her: "Ask your mamma if you can go down and 83iid the day with Amy, for she Las a sore throat, and if you can. 1 11 atop for you when I come hack," lie said. Mamma was williujr, and now Patty was getting ready logo. -Vi'hile Mrs. Ilcndrick was trying to eo if Patty'8 faro was clean, that damsel was dresbiug Arabella and talking as fast as her tongue would run: "Mamma, do you suppose Mrs. Oray will let Amy have the lovely little puppy in the house? I H you believe we'll have iam tarts for supper? Have I got to come lome licforo dark?" Finally mamma said: "Why, Patty Hendrick, you must stop, or you will drive me crazy, and I can't get you ready to go at all." All this happened a good many years ago, and little girls nowadays would think that I'atty looked funny if they had seen her when she was ready to start. Sho had on bright red stockings and a red and brown plaid dress. Her hair had been done up on corn cobs tho night before to inuke it curl, and her faco was almost as rosy as her stockings. Then she put on a thick brown coat, a white fur capo and hood, and red mittens, and she was all fixed when the doctor came. On tho way down to the village Patty and tho doctor met a gray haired, cross looking gentleman riding on a black horse. Patty nodded happily, and tho gentleman nodded back, while Dr. Gray aaid: "How did you happen to know Mr. Simms? I didn't suppose that he liked little girls very much." "I don't believe ho does, for ho always looks bo cross. One day last summer 1 went to the jiostoinee with papa, and Mr. Simms came out with a lot of papers in his hands. After he got ujou his horse's back ho dropped homo and looked very cross about it. I went axid picked them tip and gave them to him, and now he always says, 'Ilowd" do. Putty? to mo." After she had finished, Putty blushed, for that was a long speech for a little girl who had been taught that "children should bj seen and not heard." but tho doctor was so kind that no ono was afraid of him. Soon they reached tho hnuso, and Amy was in the window watching for them, and oli! how glad she was to see Patty, for a soro throat is not very good company on a stormy day. Tho littlo girls went upstairs into Mrs. Gray's room, and there was the puppy dozing away in front of the fire, and on o:jo of the chairs was Amy's doll. Violet. Now Violet had a wax head and Arabella hud n china one, but they were as good friends ns their mammas for all that. First t ho girls had a romp with tho puppy, cud then they put Violet and Arabella to bod. r.nd then Amy said: "Why the very "ideal I forgot to show yovi what Uncle Charlie sent me on my birthday." and oft she trotted. In a min uio sho camo back with a little round blue box with a handle on top. She turned the handle and the box played a lively tune. Patty was 60 astonished that sho could hardly speak, for she had never seen a music box before. Amy played tune after tune and then she let Patty play. They had their supper up in Mrs. Gray's room on a doll's table and from doll's dishes, but although they had tho cutest little jam tarts you ever saw, still Patty was so taken up with the music box that the tarts didn't taste as good as sho had expected. While Sara tvas hitching up the horse to take Patty home she played a fast tune, and such was her excitement that she almost forgot to put Arabella's cloak oil When she got home I'atty told her papa and mamma all about it. and said that sue did wish sho could have one, and that night she dreamed that she saw littlo an gels, all playing on music boxes instead sf on harps. Weeks went by, but Patty did not for get, and I am afraid that she teased her her mamma a great deal. Finally Mrs. Ilendrick told her that for every stocking she domed nicely she should have a penny, and also a penny for every six eggs sho found. W'licu the first of summer came Patty had nearly enough to buy the longed for music box. One bright, warm Sunday Patty went to Sunday school and the les son was about giving. After it was over tho teacher. Miss Lucy Sessions, told the little giris how the minister had told tho people in church that morning about the prairie fires put in Michigan, and how a rer.t many people were left without home or clothes "or money. ''Just think of it, children," Miss Lucy said, "there pre little boys and girls who haven't any clothes or anything to eat and no place to go, and some of them 5 have lost their papas and mammas. Aren't you sorry for them?" The children all suid thev were. Then Miss Lucy said: "You still have your homes and parents, and don't you think that you could give them some of the pennies that you have to buy candy with? You think of it, and if you decide that you can, bring them next Sunday." ' 'All the way home Patty was very quiet, and ft seemed as if ' there was a lump' in her throat- She was very sorry for those f hildren out in Michigan, and sue tnought t must be dreadful not to have any shoes, cr Burner, or anything; but the only monev she had was that she had been saving for the music box. and oh! sho couldn't r-Ive that up. it had taken so Inner to cct it. Thouzhts of those poor children In Michigan tortured her all the week, and when she started : for tha Sunday school tho next time there was something heavy la her pocket, and something heavier in her little heart. - Sho waited untd the lesson was over, -Ka nnt ht-r hniid in her Docket jiLiMook out two or three handfuls of pennies and. small p hang.' These she laid In Miss Lucr'a lap. Ouiy a little over $3 - in oil. bat as much to her as f 300 to some That for the folks In Michigan," she said, and ran out before Miss Uiey could ratty walled boV tol J?rt CJMV way was through some woods. ' When she had gone about half way she sat down and cried aa if her little heart would break. When bo was crying the hardest she looked up and saw Mr. Simms. "Ilowd" do. I'atty?" he said. "Ir-et-ty w-welf, sir," she answered between her fcotn. Then he tibked her what was the mat ter. and he told him all about tho peoplo iu Michigan, for she thought because he didn't go to church that he didn't know about them. He looked so kind and in terestoi, not one bit cross, that sho told him about the $3 and the music lxx. lie told her to be a brave girl and not cry, and then ho asked her to kiss him good-by, for he said ho was going u lung way oft. Sho did and then trotted home, feeling better, because she had told some ono of her trouble. Tho next night after sho had gono to bed Putty heard her papa say: "Well, 1 have found out what that Mr. Simms has been doing hero. He has been writing a book, aad starts for New York to-morrow on his way to Europe. Whut an ugly fellow he was!" One duy later in the week the minister came to seo Patty's mother. He said ho had something to show her; he handed her a note and this is whut sho read: Mr. Cunningham Enclosed you will fiud a check for $100. which you will please send to Michigan with tho rest. I don't want to be outdono by little Patty Hendrick. Euwaho Simms. There is only a little more to the story. Ono morning, about two months after this, the expressman stopped at the Hen drick farm house and took out a good sized box, on which was printed in large letters: MISS PATIENCE UKNDIUCK, u . KtW HAMPSHIRE, U. S. A. When Patty's papa opened it there was what do you suppose? A big, big. music box, made out of shining dark wood, beautifully inlaid with mother-of pearl. It was made abroad and there was a kev with it, and after it was wound it would play for an hour. Mr. Simms' card was in tho box, but that was the last Putty ever heard of hii. Springfield Re publican. Amusements of a Conjurer. In December, 18o8, Bosco, the world re nowned conjurer, camo also; he was a wonderfully jovial man, reveling in tho practico of legerdemain, of which he was a consummate master, and not in the least reluctant to fool all he met, high and low, in public and in private, lie was the last of tho prestidigitators who trusted more to their marvelous manipu lation than to artificial tricks andjpre- Eared contrivances; short and very stout, o would perform in a sleeveless shirt, black velvet tunic, and, flourishing his massive white arms in the air, apostro phize tho "splritl iufemali mid" before executing some perfectly incredible feat. On market days, strolling before the countrywomen and their wares, he would carefully pick up a carrot or a turnip, cut it open abstractedly, and with feigned surprise extract a piece of money, repeating the experiment several times from different baskets, till tho dazzled venders ruthlessly performed the same operation on their whole stock In quest of the coveted silver. Bosco, laughing like a boy at I is practical joke, generally bunded his dupes the valuo of their dam aged goods, preaching meanwhile a serious little homily on the dangers of covetons ness. During his stay in Berlin he was asked to perform before the regent and his family. In tho course of the seance ho iKinted to a terrestrial globe on a stand, saying to the prince: "Highness, drop your finger on tho kingdom of Prus siu, and you will see it grow under your touch." The prince complied with the request, and as he placed his hand on the specified spot tho frontiers expanded on either side, to tho incredulous surprise of a score of bystanders. Bosco denied that he bud the gift of prophecy. "Court ana Society." Method of Electric Acupuncture. The Chinese, we are told, employe acupuncture at least 4,000 years si no, and tho Japanese adopted it long ago. Their practitioners employed puncturing needles of gold and silver, and tneir manu facture was an art of great importance. They were of different shapes some bladeu like swords, and others or tne ordi nary needlo form. At the end of the Eighteenth century acupuncture was In troduced into Europe, and was developed in the present century. M. Gaiffe, a French electrician, has recently con structed a variety of needles for electric acupuncture especially applicable to tho perforation of painful tumors, so as to avoid unnecessary pain. By the electric acupuncture the current is conveyed into the tumor and applied at the point where it is most required to effect the dissolution of the morbid liquid contained in it. For this purpose the blade is varnished, except at tho point, and thus insulated, so that the current only escapes at he point. Glass or India rubber has been used to coat the needle, but insulating' varnish is preferred, since It does not thicken the probo so much. Tho upper end of the needlo is connected to one pole of the voltaic battery used, and there is a conducting plate applied to the skin and connected to the pther pole. Whon, therefore, the needle is ' forced into the tumor the current flows from its point to the conducting plate through the flesh and decomposes any unhealthy fluids there may be in its passage. This process aids the absorption; of these secretions and the destruction of the tumor. Phil adelphia Record. Care of av Coal Oil Lamp. Although the daily press prints copious statements of horrors, many people con tinue to confide in the common oil lamp with a fearless reliance nothing short of incredible, considering tho well known dancers associated with its careless man agement. Some of the state legislatures hove enacted-laws o regulate the manu facture of kerosene oil; limiting the "flash ing point' to not less than 100 dega. Fah renheit. This, however, appears to he an illusory safeguard. Experiments seem to have conclusively proved that most of the lamps made will, even witn tne best qual ity of oil, generate gas in sufficient quan tities to cause a violent explosion. A writer in a late, number of The Scientific American compares the ordinary kerosene lamp to a miniature gas machine, making gas and depositing it in the oil ' tank : as effectively as though it were an apparatus especially designed tor tnat purpose. - It may be worthy of mention her hat the gas thus referred to is an elenient capablo of exerting Immense energy when iinnitedl bu t - this continirencv can bo al ways provided against "by nsing a good oil. so as to leave little space in the tank for gus. Under these conditions a lamp that 13 carefully handled and never re plenished while burning will rarely or never explode. "U Ah la Boston. Bad got. THE PEOPLE'S KITCHEN. Food FaruUhod t Coat for the Working 1'ropU of fiwlturlud. Durinor mv recent vacation I hod an od- Port unity of visiting one of the "Cuisines opulaires" that fcro coming to be a pecu liar feature of some industrial centers in Switzerland. In 1877. while a socialistic congress was iu session at Cliaux-le-Fonds. near Neuchatcl, one of the speakers said: All tho ariruments in the world will not have as much effect on the working man ns a good plate of hot soup." These seed wero sown on good ground, ror a monin later the first iopular kitchen wan opened. and similar institutions are now to be found in other parts of Swltaerland. Tho aim of these kitchens is to supply work ing people wit h good wholesome food ct cost price. They are not charitable iusti tions in any sense of tho word, nor do they depend on contributions from tne rich, nor on subsidies from the state, in order to keep them going. They are joint stock concerns, but in order to interest the lurgest number of persons possible in their sQccess the value of the shares is fixed at a minimum sum. Tho one I visited hus a capital of 10,000 francs. 7,000 francs of which has been paid in. and the shares are held by very nearly 7,000 persons. It owns the build ing it occupies, which, though by no means palatial, is amply sumcient tor tne purpose. Un tne ground floor there are two dining rooms, large enough to ac commodate from 600 to 650 persons, a smaller oue for women, a waiting room and an office. The establishment is run on a strictly cash basis, but Instead of paying with money customers settle by means of checks, which can be purchased in any quantities, and it is not unusual tor workmen to purchase these enccks in sufficient quantities to last them a month- Tho kitchens are all located in tne base ment, where is also the "cantine," a branch of the institution about which I shall say more presently. The bill of faro and the prices are the same in all the dining rooms. Three meals are served up In close succession, ar.d as no one Is al lowed to remuin at table after he has fin ished his repeat the institution is able to feed about 1,800 people daily. Between meal hours food can be had by any who want it, but no wine is ever served except when accompanied with food. Ihe prices charged are as follows: cents; meat, boiled or roast, one-fifth pf a pound if the latter, a trine more if the former, o cents; a ration oi vegetables, a cents; wine, 2 conts a glass, t) cents per half pint or Is cents for a litre; a ration of bread, 1 cent. So you see a person can have a square meal, composed of bread, meat, vegetables and a glass of wine (and I may add that this latter article is of a good quality and sold pure), for 13 cents. The institution not only supplies its cus tomers with meals, but also Bells them cooked food to carry avay with t-hem. This Lranch or the bureau is conducted at the cantine, where prices for bread and meat are the same aa in the dining rooms, but the portions are one-tenth larger, and two portions of vegetables are sold for S cents. Cuisines populaires also furnish the public schools of the town with soup trratultously and with bread at cost price. The managing committee are supplied with a certain number or checks that they can give away as they please, and all the food left over at the end of each day la distributed to the poor. The cuisine is managed by a board of directors who rorm threo committees, charged respectively with looking after the wine, food and fur niture. The employes are few in num ber: a stewardess, who receives a salary of 1.800 francs a rear; a female cashier and cook, each of whom is paid 65 francs a month, and some girls to wait on table, who are paid 25 francs monthly. In addi tion to their wages all the employes are r 1 . ' V .1 1 1 I ea ot course, uiiu tuose n uu are uuiy em ployed a few hours each day can gain the rest of their time in factories.

The former consists of cotton or woolen cloth of a very rough surface, wbich is spread over the ground. The locusts are caught in the coatinsr. are shaken together and are turned in deep ditches or stamped to death. The "appareils Cypriotes" are 6heets of muslin about 200 feet long and 3 feet wide, stretched over frames and placed upright along the path of the in vaders. It Is the habltpf the locust not to turn in its progress, but to endeavor to surmount every obstacle in its way. It will try to climb the cloth, which is beaten by sticks. The insects fall to the ground, are swept together and destroyed.

The Virtue of the Me The mule Is very rarely 6tck not near so often sick as 'is the horse. Its hoofs are much sounder. It is not so apt to be Injured, not being so easily frightened It will do the same amount of work on two-thirds the amount of food required by the horse. It will eat coarser food. When properly bred and handled it Is fulj as trustworthy and industrious as ihe horse, and more docile than the horse. The do cility and patience of the ass is proverbial The mule endures exposure better than the horse. It will endure heat better, and I have never been able to perceive that it did not endure cold as well, though the notion that it cannot is general. But there is no good reason why it should not endure the weather of the northern states. Whil6 the mule Is most used in warm climates) it is also used Inregions'where the temper ature is' full as low as in pur northern states and there lasts longer than dq pur horses. Country tfentlemsn.
