A STREET-CAR ROMANCE
Tickets!" shouted the smart
young conductor, as he elbowed his
way through the passengers stand
ing in a car which was being drawn
Bwifty up California street.
It was about half-past Ave o'clock
on a Thursday afternoon that I found
myself inside a car- filled with men
returning from business, scattered
among whom was a sprinkling of
members of the fairer sex, who, in
cumbered with their innumerable
purchases and wrapped up in cloaks,
allowed only the tips of their noses to
appear over their long boas of fur or
feathers. It was one of those cold
foggy evenings that make pedestrians
hurry along at top speed, while the
policemen at the corners of the streets
tramp up and down to keep them
selves warm. The ladies seemed to
have great difficulty in bringing their
purses out from their small muffs or
from their deep pockets, and a con
tinuous tring of apologies was offered
for involuntary el bowings, caused by
endeavors of their benumbed hands to
obtain hold of the nickels for their
fares.
"Why, where is my purse? You
haven't got it, have you, Ethel?" ex
claimed a sweet-voiced lady of middle
age, after a hasty search in her muff
and a lengthy exploration of the mys
terious depths of her handsome gown.
"No, mamma."
"Then some one must have stolen
it, or, perhaps, I have left it in some
of the shops down at The White
House, probably.
All eyes were turned in the direc
tion of the lady who had spoken, and
the conductor began to look very
knowing.
"Haven't you got any money?" he
demanded, in a gruff tone.
"No; I have lost my purse, which
contained all the money I have about
me. But my husband will pa' for
us in the morning, or 1 will send the
money to the office at once on return
ing home."
"Can't do it, ma'am," replied the
conductor; "you've got to pay now
or get out and walk."
"Here, conductor," I said, tender
ing him a dime; and then, turning to
the elder lady, I added: "It is the
rule of the company, madam. The
conductor cannot give credit to pas
sengers. I hope you will permit me
to spare you the annoyance of having
to get out at this hour."
"I am very much obliged to you,
sir," replied the lady, 'and I accept
your kind offer willingly. Will you
be good enough to give me your ad
dress, that I may discharge without
delay this small debt?"
"Oh, it is a mere nothing, madam,"
I said; "I shall be very well satisfied
if you will give the sum to the first
poor person j'ou meet."
"Oh, no, not at all, sir, I must in
sist "
Under such pressure, I could hardly
refuse, and as the car was now ap
proaching Hyde street, where I trans
ferred to the cross-town line, I took
the three transfers the conductor gave
me, and, confused by the deep interest
of the other passengers, now all eyes
and ears, I hastily drew out a card,
and, raising my hat, extended it, with
two transfers to the lady. But it
was the young girl who, blushing
deeply, took them.
The following day I had almost for
gotten the incident, when among my
letters, I found one in an unknown
hand-writing bearing the city post
mark. I opened it and saw, attached
to the top corner of the visiting-card
inclosed, five 2-cent postage stamp.
On the card was printed:
MR. AND MRS. JOHN G. CARMAN.
While underneath was written:
Mr. and Mrs. Carman present their com
pliments and thanks to Mr. Paul Barnard
lor his kindness and courtesy.
Tuesdays. No. Tino Street.
1 put the card aside on my desk,
under a vase of violets, and it was
not till one morning, nearly a week
later, that I came across it again.
Now, every day 3011 meet people in
a street car who you look at for an
instant with more or less attention;
but 'in my case, I had hardly a
glimpse of the mother or the daugh
ter, and had not even the least idea
if they were pretty or otherwise.
From their accent and manner, how
ever, there could dc no doubt they
wenc of the upper world but, after
all, of what interest could they be to'
me?
Nevertheless, I did feel interested,
so why should I attempt to deny it?
Their address had been given to me,
and also their day at home. The ad
dress was printed, but "the day" was
written in a modern, angular English
hand. Not so the lines of thanks
the handwriting here was the deli
cate, precise kind that young misses
were taught thirty jears ago. The
mother had certainly written them.
But who had written "ihe day?"
I became curious. Iow could I find
out? Yes, there was a way. . . . But
to call on people with whom I had
only exchanged a few words, almost
on the street, and who, in a week,
might have forgotten my name and
my face, was rather a delicate mat
ter. Then I should have to undergo
the torture of feeling myself an in
truder, as the servant would an
nounce me in the reception-room
where, perhaps, half a dozen ladies,
unknown to me, would look me over
from head to foot as I advanced, as if
to ask: "Who is this person, and
where does he come from?"
When I thought it well over, how
ever, I reflected that there had been
occasion to talk of me, and, at the
name of Paul Barnard, Mrs. Carman
would know very well who I was. At
all events, 'I determined to renew the
acquaintance, and so the following
Tuesday found me at the door of No.
Pine street.
I must confess I did feel rather un
easy when my inquiry "Mrs. Carman?"
brought the answer: "Yes, sir; shall
J take your coat, sir?" and I was
presently ushered Into a handsomely
furnished room, where I proceeded to
pull myself together while awaiting
Mrs. Carman.
Since then some months have
passed:
"Paul, what are you writing there?"
"A little story, darling."
"Let me see."
"No, no not yet"
But she had looked over my shoul
der, and a small hand soon covered
my eyes, while an arm slipped round
my neck and her soft lips pressed
mine.
Oh, you naughty boy! But just
wait a minute."
She disappeared, laughing, and
came back quickly with a blue sachet,
from which she drew out two pink
street-car transfers.
"You see, I've kept them safely
you did not think I had thrown them
away, dear? The first Tuesday I
cried all night If you had not come
the second "
"Well, what would von have done,
Ethel?"
"Shall I tell you?"
"Yes, do."
"You won't be cross?
Well, x
them by
would have sent you one of
post"
"How jolly! And Mrs. Carman
knew "
"No, no no! She was ever so sur
prised when 3Tou called. It was I who,
before closing the envelope, secretly
wrote at the foot of the card 'Tues
days.' Arc jou sorry?"
(And then there is the sound of
kissing). Argonaut
Bat lilac Backs.
The gentlemen comprising the sur
veying party now working for the
Bear Valley Company up Millard's
Canon recently beheld a sight which
is seldom witnessed. The story is re
lated by Messrs. Pollock and Boss,
transit men of the party
Tiie men were working up the
canon when they heard a peculiar
crashing noise. Looking up, they
saw on the cliffs, high above the
stream, and about a quarter of a
mile from them, two noble bucks,
standing with heads lowered about
ten feet from each other. Thus they
stood eying each other and pawing
the dirt for fully a minute. Then
they made a simultaneous spring and
came together with a noise like a fall
ing tree. So violent was the concus
sion that the animals were thrown
back until a distance of ten or fifteen
feet again intervened octween them.
The men, facinated with the sight
watched the deer go through the
same performance again and again.
Finally, after a more than usually
violent rush, the bucks did not sep
arate, but struggled as if apparently
trying to push each other back. It
soon became plain to the men, how
ever, that instead of pushing they
were pulling away from each other.
In other words their horns had be
come locked, and, from raging com
batints, the bucks became frightened
animals and were only bent on secur
ing a divorce. Messrs. Boss, Pollock
and party then conceived the idea of
taking advantage of the helpless con
dition of the bucks and capturing
them. They made a grand rush for
the sctsne, but before they reached it
the deer in their struggles approached
too near the edge of the cliff and both
of them fell to their death in the pool
below. "When the party reached the
water, the deer were found locked in
each other's horns, quite dead.
Qneen Victoria's Private Secretary.
Sir Henry Ponsonby, Queen Vic
toria's private secretary, is a smart
military-looking man of 66, always
dressed with exquisite taste, and pos
sessed of such suave manners and
such dignity that no one could help
being attracted to him. Like all the
persons attached to the Queen, he is
poorly paid for the work he does. He
receives about $10,000 a year, with a
house rent free at St. James' Palace,
and, of course, free quarters wherever
the Queen is. But he has a consid
erable income of his own, and his
wife has means; and their position at
court has advantages altogether apart
from pecuniary ones. They are in the
very inner circles of the best society
without any of the burdens of gran
duer, and their children have excel
lent prospects in life. Their eldest
daughter, Alberta Victoria, the
Queen's god child, made a brilliant
marriage recently, and the presents
that poured in from all quarters, even
from several European sovereigns,
were almost equal in splendor to those
of some royal weddings. The Queen
made a special journey to London to
attend the ceremony a thing she has
seldom done and the first name wit
nessing the marriage of the private
secretary's daughter in the register of
the Guards is the bold, stiff signature
of "Victoria R."
Odd Names.
Queer names certainly are found in
the London general registry of births
at Somerset House. For example,
young scions of the families of Bath,
Lamb, Jordan, Dew, Dear and Smith
arc christened respectively Foot Pas
cal, River, Morning, Offspring, and
Smith Follows. Mr. Cox called his
son Arthur Wcllcsly Wellington Wat
erloo. Mr. Jewett a noted hunts
man, named his son Edward Bying
Tally-Ho Forward. A mortal that was
evidently unwelcome is recorded as
"One Too Many." Children with six
or ten names arc frequent, but prob
ably the longest name in the world,
longer than that of any potentate, is
attached to that of Arthur Pepper,
laundryman. The name or the
daughter, born in 1883, is Ann
Bertha Crcilia Diana Emily Fanny
Gertrude Hypatia Inez Sane Hate
Louise Maud Nora Ophelia Quice Re
becca Starkcy Teresa Ulysis (sic)
Venus Winifred Xenophon Yelty
Zeus Pepper one title precisely for

Chtldlsb. Simplicity.
The simplicity of a child is some
times like a light overcoat only put
on for effect At least that is what
a certain parent imagines.
He has two children, a boy of 8 and
a girl of 10, and it is hard to tell
which he thinks the more of. The
other evening both of them had been
exceptionally good, but he he decided
to test them still further.
"Children,"' he announced, impres
sively, "I am going to give one of
you a penny. Which shall it be?"
"Give it to Johnny," remarked the
daughter.
"Let Nellie have it," said the son.
The, proud father's eyes filled at
this remarkable evidence of unselfish
ness. He handed the coin to Nellie,
and was reaching in his pocket for
another, when Johnny interrupted
him.
"Papa, dear, he said reproachfully,
"Nellie told you to give it to me."
We speaic of those who are cruel as
inhuman. Ought we not to regard
them as very human? It is charac
teristic of humanity to lc selfish and

would naturally
set the country
people to think

the average coun

the motto hence

use of the avail
able material and
the modern pro
cesses of road
construction and
for the manufacture of the durable
product for road ballast and construc
tion, permanent roads may be com
menced and extended until the road
bound thraldom of the producers
might be thrown off. The loss to the
country at large, during the periods
of trade suspension, is very great and
were the lost time invested in perma
nent road-making the country would
soon be redeemed from its slough of
despond. The labor already expended
in work which at best can only be
temporary is a great waste of time
and energy which if put into perma
nent work would result in lasting
future benefits. The average State
debt at the present time, is doubtless
comparatively small, so that any of
them might, to the advantage of the
general public, appropriate large
funds for road-making, appropriating
to any township a sum equal to the
expenditures of the local investment.
By this means a steady advance might
be made and the tax would be so
evenly distributed that the burden
would not be felt Cities and towns
should help to build the country roads,
and the sooner legislation is directed
to that end, the better for all con
cerned. Rural.
A Rapid Rat Trap.
A rat trap I recently saw consisted
of a barrel, the head of which was
bung in the middle and tipped both
ways. To hang the head, holes were
bored in the staves diametrically op
posite and a couple of wire spikes
driven through the holes and into the
head. The head was balanced in a
horizontal position by driving an old
file ino the center on the under side.
Fig. 1 shows the head, bottom side
up. To set the trap, the bait was
fastened to the head, as in fig. 2, with
about a foot of water in the barrel.
Then, when the rat got on the head
for the bait the head tipped up and
let him in, springing back ready for
the next one. This trap has a record
of twenty-four rats in a single night
with pumpkin seeds, fastened on with
brads, for bait Fresh meat will also
do. Charles Lewis, in "Farm and
Home.
Making- and Keeping Maaare.
If the farmer cannot draw his ma
nure to the fields as fast as it is made,
it should be piled, free from sink
holes, and to guard as far as possible
against the evil and malarial con
sequences of being too near the barn.
I am absolutely opposed to manure
basements under the stable, writes
an experienced farmer. Experience
taught me of the dangers of the ma
nure heap. My barn had a large
manure pit directly below the cows.
The cellar was below the ground sur
face and the surface water accumu
lated. In driving the cows to the
field one dropped dead. A veterinary
surgeon could not discover the cause.
The next day another cow dropped
dead. A post-mortem examination
was of no avail. The next day while
milking another cow dropped dead.
I went right to work, took up all the
stable floor, drew every parcle of the j
manure out whitewashed everything,
put the floor back and never a sick
animal after that The poisonous
gases from the manure stable were
the sole cause of sickness and
death. Keep your manure away from
your buildings. It breeds malaria,
sickness and death. I do not believe
in liquid vaults, but bed and litter
the cattle thoroughly with cut straw.
Keep everything clean and get it
away from the barn. Do not house
the manure under cover, but draw it
directly to the fields. Let the sun
and the rain return it again to the
earth, to bring forth the wealth of
the soil.
Emat la Wheat aad' Oats.
For the information of the sub
scriber who asks for a "remedy to
prevent smut or blasted heads in oats
and wheat" we give a portion of the
chapter in "Soils and Crops of the
Farm" on diseases of wheat. The
disease is spread by the uscof smutted
seed and is to be prevented by sowing
on clean ground and with seed free
from smut spores. The infected seed
may be practically if not entirely
freed from the disease. The methods
used consist in soaking the seed tin
certain solutions, or simply in hot
water. The most common solutions
are a saturatec solution of common
salt and a five per cent solution of
copper sulphate The wheat should
be placed in sacks or baskets and al
lowed to stand twenty-four to twenty
six hours, when the wheat should be
spread out to dry. More recently the
Danish investigator, Jensen, has in
troduced the method of soaking the
wheat in water at a temperature of
from 127 to 133 degrees Fahrenheit
for five minutes. American experi
menters recommend fifteen minutes.
Smut is much more common and de
structive on oats than on wheat The
same treatment is recommended.
LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
Cor-i and Hec.
Many farmers, especially those of
the older generations, have a fixed
rule of expectancy upon which they
figure when fattening hogs. This is,
that one bushel of corn will make ten
pounds of pork, and if the bushel of
corn is worth less than they expect to
get for ten pounds of pork they con
sider that there is a profit in feeding.
The only trouble with this rule is
that it does not always work. It
fluctuates under the influence of
many conditions, one of which is the
state of the weather where the feed
ing is done. A careful experiment
has shown that in severe weather,
and the animals being exposed, it has
required as much as llf pounds of
in i
njT . " m.z.
corn to make one pound of gain,
while in like weather, "and with the
same animals, the only difference be
ing that they were sheltered in a
warm barn, only 5 pounds were re
quired to produce the same result
Thus in one case the tuIc just about
held good, while in the other it was
so far wrong that there was no pos
sible profit in the feeding. This is
only one of the conditions that gov
erns the question of profit Others
are the age of the animal and the as
similation of food. The only way to
be on the safe side is to guard as far
as possible against wrong' conditions
and then to measure or weigh the
food, and then weigh the animals at
short intervals. If this were system
atically done fewer hogs would be fed
up to heavy weights, and farmers
would soon learn the importance of
feeding off carl y,during mild weather.
Although the fact has been repeat
edly and fully demonstrated that pigs
cannot be kept healthy on concen
trated food alone, many farmers con
tinue to give them little else
during the largest portion of their
lives. Corn, either ground or un
ground, is too solid and compact a
food when unmixed with other ma
terials, and cannot be thoroughly di
gested unless a certain proportion of
rough and bulky food is given with
it A failure to observe this need is
doubtless one of the most frequent
causes of ciseasc with swine; and even
if disease does not result, it is well
established that hogs fed without
this variety fail to give the best re
turns for the food consumed. Pigs
kept up in pens, so that they arc un
able to forage for themselves, should
be fed green clover; this is one of the
best alternative and relaxing foods,
giving bulk and lightness to the other
feed, and furnishing beside, a consid
erable proportion of muscle-forming
material. In winter, when this can
not be obtained, its place may be sup
plied by rutabagas and manglc-wur-zels,
turnips, carrots and other roots;
or cut hay and clover, steamed or
moistened and mixed with a little
bran or meal, may lie fed with equally
good results. Wisconsin Agricul

A Raspberry Trellis.
It is rare that we find a field of
red raspberries in which due provi
sion has been made for sustaining the
canes during the bearing season.
They are cut down, as a rule, in au
tumn to a height of three to four feet,
and left to winter througli as they
can. The damage from snow is al
ways serious. My own loss in winter
and from broken canes in summer
was so great that I have adopted the
following plan: 1 set strong cedar
stakes at the ends of rows and at in
tervals of twenty-five feet To these
I staple a wire, as for a grape trellis,
about four feet, from the ground.
Then, bringing the canes together
in bunches of three or four, they arc
tied with soft strong twine above the
wire, not on the wire, for then the
cord would soon be cut by the wi?c
The rows being all tied, intervening
and short canes arc dug out Then,
with hedge-shears, the tons are cut
off at a height of six feet This
height on this plan is not too great.
The raspberry likes a moist, shaded
soil, and in this way it shades its own
roots. In the bearing season the
sides of these trellises become a wall
of berries, a wonderful sight to be
hold. Pickers move up and down the
rows quite hidden. I have described
my plan with the Cuthbert and Gold
en Queen in view. These, in fact
are with me the only standard first
class raspberries for market as yet.
The Turner must be grown very
thinly here, and in hills, to secure a
reasonable crop. The Marlboro has
succeeded fairly well as above, but
with me it is not a standard in
any sense. Rancocas I must reject,
as also Hansell, Lost Rubies and
Crimson Cluster. Schaffer's Colossal
does admirably on the wire, and is an
enormous bearer on that plan. Black
Raspberries, in general, had probably
best be cut low and grown in stout
heads. E. P. Powell, in Garden and
Forest
AppTe Trees A lone Roadside.
Much of the droppings from horses
or other animals driven .along the
street finds its way to roadsides,
which are, therefore, good places to
grow apple trees. Possibly when they
come into bearing some of the fruit
will be taken .by passers-by, but its
owner can afford to give toll to the
public for its use of land that is de
voted to public service. When the
road is macadamized, the apple tree
roots will run under it, taking that
part of the excrement that is filtered
through the stones and is become the
best possible plant food. Some years
ago we saw a macadam road taken up
for repairs, and a complete network
of apple-tree roots was found under
the stones, coming from trees more
than two rods distant, as they were
inside the fence in the lot adjoining
the road. Rich tree seemed to have
found this rich deposit of fertility,
and sent its feeding rootlets to secure
its share. The owner said this row

borne better than any others, and

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.
Bow Beds Aro Dressed.
Beds are dressed in two particular
approved forms. One has a bolster
arrangement, both top and bottom,
in a way to permit a lace spread
to be tucked under and then
draped over. A bed, to have this
form of arrangement, should be of
equal height at the head and foot
boards, and be placed sideways
against the wall. Another clever ar
rangement is permitted when the
bed can be located in a corner. A
tent-like canopy runs out from the
angle of .ceiling and walls and is
draped down. Pillow-shams are
quite out of style; everything now is
French or English and goes back a
hundred years for its form, and, of
course, pillow-shams did not worry
people in those days.
Vtbat Good Cooks Say.
Stewed Veal. Cut a slice of the
cutlet in small pieces, season it with
pepper, salt, and, if j'ou prefer it, a
little grated lemon peel and nutmeg.
Pour in as much water as will nearly
cover it let it cook slowly till about
half done, then make a rich gravy
with some pieces of butter rolled in
flour, and add to the water it was
stewed in.
Sponge Cake. Beat whites and
yolks of four eggs separately, add two
cupfuls of powdered sugar. Mix well
two cupfuls of sifted flour, one-half
cupful of cornstarch and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder; add to
the eggs and sugar. Pour over the
whole, stirring briskly, one cupful or
boiling water. Flavor. Bake in two
pans about IJ inches deep. If de
sired, spread blackberry or other jam
betweem the cakes.
A TLmtSLy Escape.
Fortamete is the roan or woman residing la a
nalarla-rlddesi loeaUty who escapes the dreaded
scourge. Not one in a thousand does. Whea
the ecdemlc Is a periodical aad wide-spread Tis
ItattoB, It is Just as common to see whole com
munities suffering from it as single indiridnals.
The moit TigoroBS constitution is not proof
against it how much less a system feeble or
disordered. As a mesas ot protection against
malaria. Hosteller's Stomach Bitters is the su
preme medicinal agent. It will uproot any form
of malarial disease implanted la the system,
and even la regions where mlasmatift com
plaints are most malignant and deadly, such at
the Isthmus of Panama, Guatemala, and the
opics generaUr, It Is justly regarded as an of
4dent safeguard. No lest efficacious is it as a
euratlT and prerentiTe of chronic indigestion,
liver trouble, constipation, rheumatism, kidney
complaints, and la grippe,

An exchange gives the following use
ful hints concerning visiting the sick:
Look hopeful, never despairing.
"When requested to read the news,
omit the death list.
Tell only the pleasant tidings; there
Is no fear of forgetting tho evil.
Leave stiff linen cuffs outside In En-
E ind, where they are fashionable, if you
e.
Refrain from telling about a similar
ase in which the invalid died a shocking
death.
y Let every article of food be delicately
dished, taking only small, tempting
quantities.
If you must chew gum, munch pop
corn or nuts, wait until a half-mile away
from sensitive ears.
Make the most of the luxuries at hand,
without expatiating upon the charms of
the unattainable.
If your sick ones think the curtain is
iroen when it is really blue, what harm
u allowing them to think so?
Deafness Can't Be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach th)
diseased portion ot tho ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of tho mucous lining ot the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
youhavea rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless thi inflammation cin bo
taken out and this tube restored to its noinvU
condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that wo
cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, froo.
