A BIRDS EXPERIENCE.
JIT St. F. BITTS.
I livfi first in a little house.
And lived there very well;
The world to me was small and round,
And made of pale blue shell.
I lived next in a little nest,
Nor needed any other;
I thonirht the world was made of straw.
And brooded by my mother.
One day I fluttered from my home
To see what I could find;
I said: The world N made of leave ;
I have been very blind."
At last I flew between the leaves,
tjuite fit for grown-np labors;
I don't know how the world is made.
And neither do my neighbors.

y OLD LAWYER'S STORY.
A (iKEAT many years ago, wiiiie I "was
comparatively a young man and still un
married, I resided in a certain city of
Pennsylvania and enjoyed the reputation
ol being the cleverest lawyer ever known
there. It is not for me to say the praise
was merited, out I certainly lounu my-
selt able to discover loop-holes ol escape
lur those whom 1 ueteniled which sur
pnseu even my leiiow-iawyers. l pos
sessed by nature those qualities which
would have made mc an excellent detect
ive, and I was a thorough student of the
law. There was no mystery about it, but
among the more ignorant classes I had
gained a reputation for more than human
knowledge. Perhaps it was not polite
for them to say that the devil helped, but
they did.
However, I began to tell you about
Madame Matteau.
ihc was an old lady who owned a little
house in the suburbs of the city. She
herself was of American birth, but her
husband had been a frenchman, and so
the title Madame had been bestowed
upon her. She was now a widow, and
her daughter Gabrielle and son llenri
were her only living relatives. Her in
come was but slender, and she eked it
out by taking a few boarders, generally
t-teady old people who had known her
for many years. These respected and
liked her, but the city generally had a
prejudice against her. There had been
two sudden deaths in her house. Each
time the victim was a stranger who came
at night and was found dead in his bed
in the morning. Each time the jury was
divided, some believing that strangula
tion had been the cause of death, some
that the man had died in a tit.
It was a terrible thing that two such
deaths should have occurred beneath her
roof. Madame's friends pitied her. The
rest of the little world hinted that these
were strangers, and that their trunks,
w ith no one knew what amount of money
and other valuable property, remained in
Madaine's possession. No one said she
was a murderess, but evry one said it
was "very strange," in an odd tone, and
no one since that second death had visit
ed Madame Matteau.
I myself perhaps because I had ad
mired her a great deal, and her daughter
much more had always insisted that it
was merely a coincidence, and that in a
world in which apoplexy and heart dis
ease were so common it was no such
marvel that two men should have met
sudden deaths in the same house. IJut
my faith in this theory was shaken when
one morning it was published over the
city that another transient boarder had
been found dead in Madame Matteau's
house, and that she was arrested on sus
picion of having murdered him, his
watch and chain having been found in
her possession.
IJefore I had recovered from the shock
of this terrible piece of news a message
came to mc from Madame Matteau. She
desired to see me. Of course I went to
her at once.
She had been taken to prison, and I
found her in a little room with a barred
w indow and an insuflicient lire upon the
hearth. The logs had burnt in two upon
the andirons, and the white ashes were
scattered over the hearth. Almost in
them sat Madame Matteau in her widow's
dress of somber black.
She was chilly m ith grief and excite
ment and had drawn her chair close to
the fire.
She shok violently from head to foot.
and her face was deadly pale as she
turned it toward me and held out her
hand.
a Oh, thank Heaven, you have come!"
she said; " I know you can save me. Is
it not horrible? How could I kill a man?
"Why shouldj? "Why do people come to
my house to die? To die horribly, with
black faces and startling eyes, as "if some
one had choked them? Ugh ! and he
was a pretty young man the night before.
Oh, good Heaven, how horrible !"
I sat down beside her. I took her
hand.
"Madame Matteau," I said, "be calm;
collect yourself. As your lawyer, I must
know all. Tell me, from first to last,
what happened what was said, what
was done. If you " -
I paused; her black eyes had flashed
Uon me. I could not ask her whether
she had any confession to make. I saw
that she had not. Unless that she was
the best actress who ever lived, Madame
Matteau was innocent of any crime.
" If you have any suspicions," I added,
tell them all to me."
"There is no one to suspect," sobbed
the "poor woman.
" In the house were Gabrielle, my
daughter, whom you have seen; old
Hannah, the cook; Mr. and Mrs. Beau
champ, friends of my poor dear husband
in his boyhood the best, the kindest
people Mr. Gray, a very old man, too
feeble to leave the house ; poor deformed
Miss Norman and the librarian, Mr.
Uassford. None of these could or would
murder a mouse. See how kind they
are ; they remain in my house, they send
me word that they have no doubt of me.
Oh. how can anybody?"
"And this man who " I began.
"Yes," said Madame Matteau, "I will
tell you: he was fair, young, handsomely
dressed; he asked Mr. Bassford at the
depot if he knew of anyone who could
accommodate him. Mr. Bassford brought
him home. My only empty room was
the one in which those other two stran
gers died. I could not bear to put him in
there; but Mr. Bassford laughed at me.
"We had supper afterward. He talked a
long while to Gabrielle. It was late
when he retired late for a quiet house
hold. Hannah had made his fire. She
came and told us that she had done so.
He 6aid good night.
" After he had gone we found that he
had left his watch on the table. He wore
it only with a bunch of seals, and he had
been setting it by the clock, and showing
it to us as something very handsome. 1
knocked at his door to restore it to him.
He had not left us but fifteen minutes be
fore; but he must have been asleep al
ready, for he made no answer. So I kept
it for the night, and wore it down to
breakfast next morning. As I came
down I met a gentleman in the hall, lie
inquired for 3Ir. Glen. That was the
new-comer's name. I sent Hannah to
wake him. She could not do so, and
grew alarmed. She had a key that would
open the door, and used it. The next
thing I knew we were all in the room
and the windows were wide open, and
the doctor had been sent for; and the
young man who had called was scream
ing that his brother had been choked to
death; and then there was the inquest,
and they arrested mc. The brother said
the first thing he noticed was that I w ore
Mr. Glen's watch and seals. I had for
gotten it in my terror."
" So Hannah had a key to the room?"
I said.
" Yes; at least it was a key that would
open it. It was the key to Mr. Bassford's
door. She knocked the other out with a
stick and put that in."
"The people who were there on that
night were your boarders when the other
men Merc found dead?" I asked.
" Oh, yes!"
"And Hannah was there also?"
"All my married life Hannah has
lived with mc."
" Your daughter oversees the house
hold in your absence?"
" Yes, poor child, with Hannah's help."
I thought a little while.
"Madame," I said, "there is some
strange mystery in this affair. I do not
despair of proving to all the world your
entire innocence. Meanwhile, be as calm
as possible, and endeavor to remember
everything connected with the sudden
deaths that have occurred in your house.
The incident that seems the least impor
tant may really be of the most immense
value."
So I left and went home. Strange
enough, on the way I met the doctor who
had been called in. He was a dull, heavy
sort of a person, considerably given to
beer-drinking, and my opinion of his
ability was not very great. However, I
questioned him on the subject, and he re
plied: "Well, you see, I don't say the old
woman murdered him. If she did, I should
say it was by sitting on him, or smother
ing him with the bolsters. I suppose the
cause of his death was asphyxia. Well,
then, what is asphyxia? Why, too little
breath to keep one living. lie died be
cause he was short of breath. I wash my
hands on that matter. Only there's the
watch; that looks dark."
I had learned nothing from the doctor.
The Coroner lived near me. His jury had
been twelve of the most ignorant men in
town.
This is all he told me:
"He was smothered that man was; so
were the other two. Men don't smother
themselves. We made it inscrutable
Providence t'other time. We make it
murder this time. That there watch, you
Know.
1 bus, without any new light, I want
home and formed my plans. There was
but one way in which to penetrate the
mystery. I must enter the house ; I must
see the people there; 1 must penetrate to
the room in which these men had died so
suddenly, and I must not be known in my
real character, that .Madame .Matteau
was innocent I fully believed; but that
sonic one beneath her root was guilty
made no doubt. It might be the librarian,
Mr. Bassford, whose key fitted the dead
man's door. It was possible but no, I
would not harbor a mad superstition
There could be no supernatural ower be
neatu winch human beings drooped and
died. Death as it came to us all was
mystery enough. What had been said to
me by a woman, who would have been a
Spiritualist had she lived to-day, was a
mere absurdity.
"I believe that there is some horrible
unseen thing in the room," she had said;
' some awtul, shapeless spirit, that when
t is locked in with its victim murders him.
Let others believe what they will, I believe
that."
The words haunted mc, but I lauirhed
at them, of course. Whatever it was, I
would try to know. I had a plan.
At dusk that day I went into my bed
room myself. I came out a strange man.
I wore a white w ig, a pair of green gog
gles, and an overcoat, the tails of which
reached to my heels. I had a mulHer
about my throat, and a little hunch on
one of my shoulders. I carried a thick
cane and stooped a good deal as I
walked. In my hand I carried a carpet
bag, and in my bosom a pair of pistols
well loaded.
As I passed out into the street the
early moon was just rising; she lit me on
my way to the door ot Madame Matteau s
house.
It was opened for me, when I knoc ked.
by old Hannah. Her eyes were red and
swollen. Then I told her that I was a
stranger and had received Madame Mat
teau's address from a gentleman in New
York, and desired to stay under her roof
all niirht. She shook her head.
" I don't think you can," she said.
The lady is away from home. Besides,
we are in trouble here. I don t think Miss
Gabrielle would "
But here Miss Gabrielle herself ap
peared.
' 1 am an old man, miss," I said, " and.
is you see, quite infirm. I dread another
step. I should take it as a kindness if
you would accommodate me, and I will
pav any price you ask."
Miss Oabnelle looked at Hannah.
" We have only one room," she said,
and that "
I ended the question of my stay by beg
ging to be taken to it.
" You will have supper, sir?" asked the
girl.
But I declared that I had eaten and
only wanted rest.
Her reply M as:
" Hannah, show the gentleman to the
blue room, and make a fire."
I was in the blue room, the scene of
the three sudden deaths or murders. It
was a small apartment, painted blue. It
had also blue window curtains and a blue-
silk coverlet on the bed; a neat striped
carpet, a set of old mahogany furniture,
and a very handsome ewer and a basin of
costly china. It was at the time almost
a universal custom to burn wood. In this
room, however, M as a small coal fire. I
alluded to this as Hannah came in with
the scuttle.
"Yes, sir," she said. "Missus does
burn coals. Her son is a clerk, or the
like, at them new mines at Mauch Chunk,
and he sends it cheap to her; but it's a
nasty, dirty-smelling thing, and I hate it.
Now it's built and lit; 'twill warm up in
fifteen minutes. It takes longer than
wood."
She went out of the door and came
back in a minute with a little tray, on
which stood a pot and a cup and saucer,
also a bowl and a tiny pitcher and some
thing in a napkin.
"Miss sent a bit and a sip," said she.
"Tea rests us old folks mightily. Good
night." "Good-night," I said. ,44I expect I
shall sleep soon; I must be up very
early, though, for I have bills to pay. I
have some hundreds of dollars with me
to pay out to-morrow, and it's in this
bag."
She looked at me in a queer sort of a
way, and lingered beside me. At last she
spoke :
"Look ye, sir; I think that old folks of
your age do wrong to lock doors on them
selves. You might be ill at night, and
who'd get in to jou? Leave your door
unlocked."
Was it this woman's practice to beg
travelers who stopped with her mistress
not to lock the doors? Was there some
baneful potion in the cup she had given
me?
It was an innocent-looking cup enough
an old-fashioned affair covered with
little gilt sprigs. The tea was fragrant
Hyson; but the suspicion that had crept
into my mind had tainted it. I fancied a
strange color, a curious smell. I put it
from me and would not have tasted it
for a kingdom.
I had not intended to sleep, and I did
not undress myself. I merely removed
my disguise, and sat dow n beside the ta
ble, with my pistols beside me. That
some attempt might be shortly made to
murder me I felt to be possible. I
thought of all the old tales that I had
heard of trapdoors, and sliding panels,
and secret entrances to travelers' rooms.
I was not a coward, but I felt strangely
nervous; and singularly enough for a
man of my perfect health my hands were
growing cold, and my feet were lumps of
ice, while my head was burning hot.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and the
fire was kindled, but the room was not
warm. The blue flames struggled among
the black coals, and flung forked tongues
tipped with yellow tints" into the room.
There was nothing cheerful about the
stove, though it was of that open style
now called Franklin. Yet I drew a chair
toward it from habit, and sat with my
feet upon the hearth. I do not know
how long I sat there.
ouudeniy i became aware that 1 was
not myself. I was losing my senses. If
unseen hands had been clasped about my
necK, anu an unseen Knee had been
pressed against my chest, my sensations
could not have been different.
A thought of the evil spirit which my
friend had suggested faintly struggled
into my mind. As I staggered to" my
iect a noise like the roaring of the sea
was in my ears. The flames of the candle
turned to a great yellow blue. I barely
retained strength enough to stagger to
the window and fling it open. The fresh
cold winter air rushed in at it. It gave
mc intense pain, but it revived me. In a
moment more I was able to clamber out
of it uion the shed below.
There I remained until the day-dawn
With my returning senses the truth came
tome, lhat which had murdered the
three men who had slept before me in
me Diue cnamoerwas nothing more or
less than the coal stove.
It was provided with what is called
damper, and this being caught in a man
per which closed it sent the poisonous gas
into the room, it had been kindled as !
wood fire would have been at the hour o
retiring, by one quite ignorant of the
danger possible from coal gas, and they
had slept never to awaken. Had I
thrown myself upon the bed I also
should have been found dead at daylight
in all human probability.
As for the fact that neither doctor nor
Coroner discovered the truth, I have but
to say that they were not deeply scien
tific men that coal stoves were scarcely
used in the place, and that it had not
been mentioned that the blue chamber
was thus heated.
Of course I rejoiced the household by
e . . ,
my uiscovery nexi morning, and equally,
of course, Madame Matteau, who was not
only freed from all suspicion, but became
the object of universal sympathy. She
was always grateful to me, and she
proved her gratitude by giving me what

ter Gabrielle in marriage.

"No student of our political history

shows within its ranks both an indepen

good sign of its real vitality, and an
augury of its continued and deserved

that Republican officers are removed and

How to Manage Sitting Hens.
A good deal of the success of the poultry
crop depends upon the management of the
birds while sitting. Hens that steal their
nests and follow their own instincts do
very well if they are not disturbed, but
frequently they get fnehtened or robbed.
and the eggs are lost. As a rule, it is
better to hare all the sitting birds com
pletely under your control, and make
them follow your will rather than their
own instincts. With a well-arranged
poultry-house it takes but a little time
daily to have all the birds come off for
food and exercise. But without this we
manage to make the sitters regular in
their habits. We usually set the hens
near together in a sheltered, sunny spot in
boxes, or barrels, that we can cover, and
thus perfectly protect them against
enemies, and at the same time compel
them to sit until the box is uncovered.
Wherever they may lay, when they want
to Bit we remove them to the hatching
yard by night, and put them securely
upon a nest full of eggs. We usually
take Asiatic fowls for mothers, as
they are very contented upon the
nest, and cover a large number
of eggs. We have never failed to makecutting grass at the period designated is
Making Good Hay and Poor Hay.
Hay is dried grass. Hay of prime qual
ity is made of grass cut and properly
cured at that stage ot growth when the
leaves and stems contain the largest
amount of available nourishment. Both
theory and the opinions derived from the
experience ot the great majority of intel
ngent and observ ing larmers concur in
fixing the true period to cut grass, "when
n lull blossom, or while the bloom is
falling." At this period most grasses have,
so lar as can be judged, obtained from
the soil and from the atmosphere the
greatest amount which they will have at
any stage of growth which is of value as
lood lor animals, lhese elements exist
at this period in the most valuable form.
the changes which take place subse
quently are chiefly within the plant. A
part ot the starch, sugar, gum, albumen
soon goes to assist in the formation ot
seed, and a part to constitute woody
nber, which is indigestible and ot lit
tie value as fodder. Ot hay cut at
later stage cattle will doubtless
eat less. Some infer from this that
it will "spend better;" but the true rea
son why they eat less is, because the sys
tem can digest and assimilate less. The
actual benefit derived from hay is in pro
portion to the available nutriment con
tained in it. All domestic animals that
subsist on fresh grass will make more
growth, muscle and flesh when fed with
grass than with any other food, which
shows conclusively that it abounds in
fibrin and other albuminous compounds
which are ot lar more importance than
starch, gum, etc., because flesh must be
formed as the frame-work or substratum
of the animal structure before mere fat
is superadded. That
etable albumen and its near relatives or-
ognates, which are transformed into
muscle and flesh by the process of nutri
tion, there can be no doubt. It thus be-
omes of much importance how to retain
the most of the flesh elements of the
grass in the dried hay. The nearer prime
hay approximates fresh grass the more
milk, fat, flesh and bones a given quantity
will make.
Taking a different view of this subject,
grass should be allowed to become fully
ripe betore it is cut. fhe great desidera
tum with many w ho buy and sell hay
and w ho feed hay is to have it in such a
condition that a com', ox or horse will not
consume one pound of it until impelled
by the gnawings of hunger to eat or
tarve. Many proprietors of hotels and
those who keep stables where horses are
boarded do not want hay of prime quality,
for the reason that the animals fed would
consume several pounds; whereas if the
racks were supplied with inferior hay
they would pick out only a few spears
and go hungry until they could reach
some other stable where they would be
supplied with respectable feed. A great
many farmers aim to keep their live stock
on the smallest possible allowance of hay.
They do not want prime hay, as their
tock would consume the entire supply
for the winter before the foddering season
was half passed. For such feeders of live
stock the true time to cut crass is not
until it is dead ripe.
But the man who desires to keep his
ive stock growing during the foddering
season should have his grass cut before
the blossom has fallen. This practice of

also bear handling better than most other
varieties, and are very patient, good-tempered
mothers. Every day about twelve

they have from a half hour to an hour to
scratch in the dirt and take their dust
bath. Most of them return to their nests
voluntarily before the time is up. Occa
sionally a bird will take to the wrong
nest. It takes but a few minutes to see
every bird in her place and make her
secure for the next twenty-four hours. As
the hatching time approaches, we dip the
eggs in tepid water every day to keep the
pores open and to facilitate the hatching.
The moistening of the eggs we have found
of special service in the hatching of the
eggs of water fowl set under hens. By
this method we have good success with
sitting hens. American Agriculturist.
A lady who recently died in a town
near Bangor, Me., expressed great fear be
fore her death that her body would be ex
humed and dissected by the doctors, and
she left f 50 to pay a man for watchipg
her grave every night f or a month afier
she was buried. The provisions of her
bequest were carried out, and every night
the faithful watchman may be seen at his
post.
The tallest man is he who rises latest,
because he lays longest.
unquestionably founded on a correct
principle, the object of the farmer being
to secure his hay so as to make it most
like grass in its perfect condition. The
nutritive substances of grass are those
which are, for the most part, soluble in
water, such as sugar, gluten and other
compounds. Now if this is so it is evi
dent that the grass should be cut at the
time when it contains the largest amount
of these principles. From its earliest
growth the sugar and other soluble sub
stances gradually increase till they reach
their maximum percentage in the blos
som, or when the seed is fully formed in
the cell. From this period the saccharine
matter constantly diminishes and the
woody fiber, perfectly insoluble in
water and innutritious, increases
till after .the seeds have matured,
w hen the plant begins to decay. Of
course, if the plant is not cut in the
flower, a great part of the nutriment of
its stems and leaves is wasted. That grass
is sometimes mown too early there is no
doubt ; but as a general rule the farmer
had. better err on the safe side and com
mence haying early, if he has a large
amount to harvest, even if he suffers
some loss by shrinkage of the first mown.
It gives him a better chance to "make
hay while the sun shines," for he has a
longer period to secure his crop before it
is "dead ripe," and sometimes saves
hiring help when labor is at its highest
price and scarce at that.

Colorado to-day is the center of the
best as well as the largest emigration
irom tne united states. And with reason
for both in the way of geographical posi
tion, internal resources and capacity for
diversified industry it stands at the head
ot an tne lemtories.
Geographically, Colorado is in the very
van ot the column ot solid migration
being the western front of that great tier
of prosperous commonwealths which belt
the Lmon Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado. h.m
igration always moves in straight lines
the population of any one climate, soil, or
temperature following its parallel or lati
tude. This has been the uniform history
oi settlement in mis country.
Colorado, however, will have the ad van
tage of her older sisters in that, while
their settlement was slow, fortuitous and
disintegrated, hers is rapid, organized and
systematic while theirs was the work of
individuals, hers is the work of great or
ganizations, supported by experience.
capital and combination. She begins at
a point the others only reached after
generation.
Already her cond ition reveals her van
tage ground and demonstrates her position
as the leader of the great column of the
Middle States.
Colorado is even now an exceptionally
favored territory for any one thinking of
going west to settle, bocicty is alreadv
established there; railway communication
with the Atlantic and Pacific Slates is
direct and good ; the Territorial Govern
ment economically organized and hon
estly administered, exempting the settlers
Irom onerous taxation. Witness the fol
lowing iterrs:
Taxes. There were no Territorial taxes
laid in 1873.
Public Debt. There is no Territorial
debt, and a balance of $18,172.19 in the
Treasury.
ScnooLS. The educational facilities of
the Territory pre first-class. The common
school system is well organized. There
are good ladies' theological, conventual
and boys' schools. There is a college at
Colorado Springs.

SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Southern Colorado is the richest, most
fertile and mildest-tempered section of
the great Territory of Colorado. It is s
State within itself of magnificent propor
tions, incalculable natural resources, and
a diversity of soil and climate, and a ca
pacity for agricultural, pastural, mining,
manuiacturing and commercial develop
ment which renders it self-supporting.
ikying somn oi me ureal uivide it is
the most genial climate of all Colorado.
rr i a i . ...
me Arkansas, me greatest river run
ning from the Kocky Mountains, gives it
the richest valley and strongest water
power in Colorado.
Embracing in its limits the South Park
and San Juan country, it covers the rich
est mining districts of the Territory, its
minerals being not merely gold and sil
ver, but coal, iron, copper, marble, petro
leum.
PUEBLO.
The capital city of this exeat region is
I'ueblo, located on the old trading route
of the Santa Fe trail, just where that an
cient highway crossed and the trunk line
of railway now crosses the Arkansas
River.
Pueblo is an old, well-established point.
It has been a missionary station, a trading
post, a railitaiy fort, and is now a thriv
ing Western town. Its location has been
determined by the established routes of
travel for over a century. It has there
fore a solid foundation. It is now a rail
way center. Five roads, two built and
three building, converge here. At this
point will stand the
GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF TOE FAR WEST.
In every respect of centrality, climate.
local situation, position with reference to
North, South, East and West. Pueblo is
destined to become the great commercial
city of the Rocky Mountains. For 1,000
miles along the base of the mountain
range there is no point equal to it as a
commercial center.
SOUTH PUEBLO.
The systematic development of Pueblo
toward this, its own proper position, is
now going on under the auspices of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railway, who have
opened to colony settlement and improve
ment the land on the south bank ot tne
Arkansas, heretofore unoccupied by rea
son of the want of capital in Colorado to
construct the great irrigating canal neces
sary to supply water.
bouth Pueblo has been regularly laid
out and platted, streets opened and graded,
10,000 trees planted along the avenues and
public squares, a large park laid out and
planted, bridges built, and all the founda
tions for a prosperous town broadly and
intelligently laid. The streets are 100
feet wide, the central boulevard 150 feet.
Acequias, or miniature canals, run along
the front of each sidewalk.
The main work, however, is the great
irrigating canal, twenty miles in leugth.
which has already been built at a cost of
$90,000.
This canal covers and waters a tract
of 10,000 acres, and this tract consti-
ntes the colony settlement of South
Pueblo.
South Pueblo differs from the generality
of towns just starting in having already
established railways, telegraph and ex
press and postal connections with the en
tire country.
The old town of Pueblo is located on
the north bank of the river, and just op
posite South Pueblo, being connected by
four completed bridges and a horse railway.
Colonists, in addition to the facilities of
the new town, will have all the advan
tages in the way of markets, society, etc.,
afforded by the old town.
fcouth Pueblo is not an experiment. One
thousand people are now on the colony
grounds.
lne title is clear and simple, confirmed
by a recent act of Congress, and now in
