Where’He ‘Ves. ‘
A visitor from Manchester had been
inyited to address the Sunday school.
“I am reminded, children,” he said,
“of the career of a boy who "was once
no larger than some of the little fellows
I see before. me. He played truant
:when he was sent to school, went fish-
ing every Sunday, ran away from home
when he was ten years old, learned to
'drink, smoke'tobacco, and play cards.
He went into bad company, frequented
stables and low taprooms, finally be-
came a pic‘kpocket, then a forger, and.
one day in a fit of drunkenness, he com-
m‘itted a cowardly murder. Children,”
he continued impressively, “where do
you think that boy is now '2?’ ‘
“He stands before us!” cried the
children, as with one voice—Sketch.-

[An intelligent foreigner is said to
have expressed (himself after the fol-
lowing 'fashion on the absurdities of
the English language: “When I dis-
covered t‘hat if I was quick I was fast,
if I stood firm I was fast, if I spent
too freely I was fast, and that, not to
cat was to fast. 'I was discouraged;
but When I came across the sentence:
‘The first one won one one-dollar prize,’
I was tempted to give up English and
learn some other language.”-—New

Once upon a time a goat, who was
about to partake of a poster, bethough't
him to observe «the trend of the jest
which it was designed to depict.
“Ha, ha!” he laughed. “Ha, ha!

tion I’m having.”—,-Detroit Tribune.

BRAVE As ANY MAN.
WHAT AN AMERICAN WOMAN]: DID
UNDER THE FLAG IN PERU.
With the Starsand Stripes and Her Conn
age She Kept Back the Peruvian Troops
Who were Seeking Persons Protected
by the Consul. ,
Mrs. Lucinda B. Trevitt, widow of
Dr. .William Trevitt, died recently, at
the Home for the Aged, where she had
lived for the pest fouryears. ’ '
She was a remarkable woman, being
distinguished by a high intellectual and.
Christian character. In 1858 when Dr.
Trevitt was American Consul at Callao,
Peru, an incident happened which show‘
ed her bravery in- most trying circum-
stances. ' - . - 7
At that time, as there had frequently
been before and since. a revolution was
in progress, and some Americans who
had‘ participated in the uprising sought
an'; aSylumi at the _ American .Consu-
late. 1
For three days they were concealed
in the attic of the- Consul’s residence,
when the Government authorities le'arn- -
ed of their whereabouts, and troops
were sent to take them. ‘
’The Captain of the troops went to the
rear deer and met Dr. Trevitt, who was
unarmed, at the head of the stair. The
doctor grappled with the captain, and
in attempting to secure .his sword four
of his fingers were almost completely
severed from his hand,
He secured the'sword, or rather, cav-
alry sabre, and is yet in the possession
of the family. The captain retired from
the house after making due apOlogy to
him. -‘ ’
While this incident was being enacted
in the rear of the house a. still more ex-
traordinary. one was in progress in the
front, Where the tr00ps were :trying to
force their‘way into the house.
Dr. Trevitt’s secretary, Mr. Band, of
New York, now dead, attempted to stop
them, and one of them struck him in
the mouth with the butt end, of his gun,
knocking in his teeth. He fell back into
the arms of Mrs. Trevitt, who had se-
cured an American flag and was trying
to spread it over the steps.
While supporting the wounded secre-
tary she managed to spread the flag
over the steps, and then she dared the
soldiers to cross it. Appalled by the
woman’s determination and bravery,
the troops retired and made no further
effort to molest the prisoners, who were
subsequently hurried on board an Amer-
ican ship and brought to America.
The United ‘States sustained‘the ac-
tion of Dr. Trevitt when the Peruvian
Government complained of his action.

A Shark for a. Pet.
Perhaps the oddest pet any man ever
had is a. shark, seven. feet long and
weighing probably .250 pounds, which
is owned, in a. sense, by G. W. Fife, of
Tacoma, Wash. The shark was her-
pooned in the bay,,oif Tacoma, by Mr.
Fife, and towed to his boat'house.
was not badly injured, so Mr. Fife
passed a chain cable round its tail ,and
tied it'up to the pier. It Was still tied
up at last accounts, was feeding heartily,
and was apparently becoming accuse

SPECIALTIES ABE PROFITABLE.
One Farmer Who Even Made Potatoes
Pay Last Year.
How many young men, after more or
less schooling, take up some agency or
other business, work at it a few years
without ambition or success, and then
drift from one thing to another, per..
'haps farming, but failing to' succeed as:
anything. Happy is he who settles
down early in life, selects his specmlrty
and makes a success of it. This is
the secret of the success achieved by
Mr. C. E. Chapman, the potato special-
ist of ”Clinton 00., N. Y., who after his
days at school, became a tree agent
until he married, bought a farm on
credit and settled dovVn to business.
Farm life improved his health, but he
made no money at it and was about to
give it up, until after a long and earn-
est talk with Prof. Roberts, he settled
down to think and study out the spe-
. cialty that would best succeed on his
place. He says: "There will always
be a warm corner in my ‘heart for the
man who gave me the inspiration that
led me to what success I have att‘ined.
Pctatoes were chosen for my specialty,
and records, experiments and study
enabled me to reduce the cost to De
per bushel for'la-st year, and my ’95
crop paid me as well as anything I
could have raised in spite of the break
in the potato market. Other branches
have been taken up until quite a va-
riety of articles are now grown."
' Profits of the Small Sil‘o.
A clever trader, who is himself an
observing farmer, speaking about the
silo for small farmers and dulrymcn,
says: “There-are those three farmers '
who used to pay me over $100 every
winter for boughten hay. Since they
have each put in a small silo and filled
it with corn and ears on the stalk,
they sell me from $50 to $100 worth
of hay every year. In other words,
they are getting $100 in cash for what
they used to have to pay out $100, 30
that their silo is really putting them
$200 ahead.” We have reported numer-
ohs such instances, and know one
York state farmer who has got over
$1,000 'in cold cash for hay during the
past year that he would have had to
feed to his own stock had it not been
for his silo! Speaking with him about
it, he remarked: “I’m a believer in
16 to 1—that for every silo we ought
to be able to sell 16 tons of hay that
d we used to feed.”
The Cost of PoorRoads.
It costs about $50 per mile per year
to take care of the 80,000 m‘ilesof dirt
road in the rural districts of Pennsyl-
vania. The expense per mile was prob-
ably abourt as much 25 or 50 years ago.
Quite likely this is a reasonable esti-
mate of cost of ordinary methods of
road management throughout the mid
dle and New England states. The most
striking fact. is, that after all this
enormous expenditure during the pa‘st
50; or 100 years, there are only com-
paratively poor roads to show for the
money. It is unnecessary to say that
a system that has produced such re-
sults is a mighty poor one, if indeed it
is not utterawrong This good roads
prObIem m be met. It vitally af-
fects the farmer’s interests, and it will
only be solved when the farmer takes
an intelligent interest in it.

A New Way to Protect Against Frost.
Get a lot of the cheap torches such as
will be freely used in political proces~
sions this fall, and fill with turpentine,
using a generous wick; a dozen of these
stuck 'in the ground on handles four
feet long made smoke enough to pro-
tect 100 grapevines from a light frost.
For peaches or other trees, I would ele-
va‘te the torches 8 or 10 feet. Turpen-
tine makes more of a smudge than
kerosene or coal oil. This is more sat-
isfactory than soaking bricks in coal
oil, or straw, rubbish, étc. On a still
'n'ight these torches make an amazing
aloud of smoke, which, utilized to pro-
tect against frost, will give the prac- .
tical farmer more useful results than
carrying the torches in political pa-
rades—A. G. Chase.
Hold Your Small Crops This Year.
The American Agriculturist says:
"‘There is no occasion for growers of
such special money crops as apples,
onions and ', petittoes becoming panic
stricken this early in the year and sell-
ing at the first offer, Whatever it may
be. In, our' exclusive report on the
onion crop,-to be found on another page
of this issue, it is shown that the sur-
plus available .for market: is much
smaller than last year and so with our
; review of potatoes. There are fair pog-
' sibilities that these crops may be sold
more advantageously.”
Milk and Cheese as Food.
Underconsumption ,iS. one trouble
with the home’market for cheese and
milk. The American people eat freely
of butter, but cheese is usually con-
sumed only in a small way for dessert,
while toWnspeopl'e generally drink
little milk. What is needed is a cam-
paign to educate the public. to consume
cheese and milk more freely. Cheese is
cheaper and richer than meat, pound
for pound, while milk is; one of the
- most nutritious of foods.
