Jimnrouos Department. (iLYING THE Gl'YER. There was ouce a Harvard student that had a sister at Bryn Mawr, the girls' college, near Philadelphia. The young ruan was unwise ; he wrote her letters, poking fun at the college, aud she read them to her classmates. They determined to inflict punishment by "guying" him, a method of torturing in which girls are experts. A Chicago paper describes the subsequent proceedings: The sister, who was one of the conspirators, invited her brother to visit the college. He came, sent in his ? ?5 ?J ?-?? intn a 1 arcrp rp curu, uuu ?as uoucuu ~ ception room, where he waited for half an hour, during which time 14 girls came in and looked at him. They came in pairs.. A pair would turn the corner of the room, and on seeing him, start and say "Oh!" in a surprised way, after which they would look him over very carefully and say "Oh !" again ; but in so queer a tone that the Harvard man found himself wishing that he hadn't come. This ordeal being over, his sister came in and took him to her sitting room. "I've invited some of the girls to meet you," said she. "If any of them should come in while I am gone, you entertain them. I'm going over to Denbigh for a minute." Scarcely had she left the room when a dozen girls came trooping in. The Harvard man arose; but they took no notice of him at first. After distributing themselves picturesquely in groups, they fastened their eyes on him, and one of them began : " Rather a nice-looking fellow, isn't he?" " * "Yessaid another, "rather, but his nose is too big. He doesn't look a bit like Edna." "Poor fellow ! Isn't it too bad that he's so deaf ?" "Oh, well, it serves to make him quiet. Most Harvard men talk too much." "Freshman, isn't he?" "I believe so. He looks young." During this conversation the subject of it turned more colors than a prism exhibits. Presently one of the girls marched up to him and yelled in stentorian tones, "How do you like Bryn Mawr?" "B-b-b-beg your pardon," stuttered the visitor, finding his voice. "It's a m-mistake you know. I'm not deaf. You've got the wrong man. I can hear perfectly well, really." "We are delighted to hear it!" proclaimed the girls, in measured chorus. Then they all came forward and shook hands with the youth, solemnly congratulating him on his excellent hearing; but his face was too much f^them, and the continuation of the farce was spoiled by a gale of laughter, ? u.-.v .I- - ID WUIUU IUC VlUliLU uuaiij JU1UCU, Thereafter iu his letters to his sister, he never again referred to Bryn Mawr as a "hot-house for the forcing of in cipient blue-stockings." SHE GOT HER POSITION. The session of the legislature in every State brings to the capitol a retinue of applicants for every position from clerk of the senate to assistant fireman. This year there has been an unusually large number of people out of work. In one of the States, where the number of employees for the 60 day's session has been limited by law to'200, there was no less than 2,500 needy applicants. The day before the opening of the session a shy girl knocked at the door of the attorney general's office. "Is the attorney general in?" she asked timidly. "Yes," said the clerk. "He will see you when he gets through this long line of job hunters. Just have a seat." In the numerous chairs, on the office lounge and standiug were 20 or more waiting for a turn to press some claim for a position. The attorney general was rather a gruff looking man, and he dismissed each with the remark : "I can't do anything for you. Sorry, you know, but there are hundreds of applicants, and each officer, every legislator, has a dozen begging for each position." When the timid girl's turn came, she handed the impatient looking officer a letter. She said nothing she hardly looked into his face. "I'm sorry, Nliss C., that I can do nothing for you. It was foolish for Vi ava orrtontinrr t r\ nrnt \ UU IU tVillC IV gvu work. I'd be glad to help you if I could; but, you see, it's this way?I have no influence to get you a position. I am very?" "We were speaking of that at home, but I thought it would do harm to see you," she interrupted. "And we were saying what a pity it was that you had lost your influence." The State official winced. He looked as if something hurt him. Brown," he said, turning to his deputy with unnecessary abruptness, "this young lady is to have a position in the enrolling department.

It is best to confine the brood for a week at least after hatching. Should the mother hen then become restlesss, she may be let out during the middle of the day. As the turkey retires early and dislikes being disturbed after settling down for the night, be sure and coop them before the sun sets. The young turkeys will eat but little the first week. Feed separate from fr\r> cVio tt?5ll flornnt* all tVia food within reach. For downright greediness an old turkey hen has few equals. Dry bread soaked in sweet milk is one of the best foods for the young, as is curd from fresh buttermilk. A whole flock has been raised on warm curd. A custard made of one egg to a pint of milk, thickened with bread (no sugar), is a good food. When about two months old, feed whole wheat part of the time and mix corn meal with their feed ; this should not be fed exclusively. Allow plenty of liberty, as confinement will kill young turkeys. When the mother heu begins tramping wildly from oue side of the coop to the other, better let her out unless the weather is unfavorable. When about the size of partridges and old enough to follow the mother in long rambles, the young will need i * 1 J DUt liuie ULieunuu, siujpiy a, utile iccu morning and evening. They much prefer bugs, grasshoppers, insects and seeds to a more civilized ration. Do not neglect to bring them home at night and put them under shelter until old enough to fly into trees and care for themselves. Turkeys do not always select wisely the best resting place for the night, hence vermin sometimes attack and annoy them. Teach them to come at the sound of your voice; it will save many a weary tramp in searching woods and fields. Six weeks' time is sufficient to fatten for market. Feed twice a day all the whole corn they will eat, but do not attempt confinement, as a turkey chafes under restraint and will lose flesh rather than fatten. They will not take more exercise than is necessary to keep in good health.?Southern Farm. PRESERVING MILK. If milk is heated to the boiling point it kills all ferments which it may contain An whinh mjiv have been absorbed fcwlu WI " J from the air, and if then it is excluded perfectly from the air it will keep sweet and sound for an indefinite length of time. It is only necessary to heat it and seal it up while hot to have it keep just as well as berries and fruit do that are soft and perishable, and for precisely the same reasons, viz: killing with heat the ferments, which consist of living organic germs that either exist in the fruit or milk, or are taken into them from the air, and by sealing to prevent the introduction of any new germ by absorption. The contact of air even does not injure or prevent milk from keeping, provided the air is pure and free from any infectious agency. Pure air is rather a benefit than an injury to milk. Experiments by German chemists have demonstrated that milk, after heating to 212 degrees, may be kept in contact with the air and remain sound any length of time, provided. onlv. that the air admitted to it shall have passed through some absorbent or filter that will keep back any and every infectious germ it may contain. These facts have long been known to scientists, aud it seems strange that while they have fouud very general application in the case of soft, pulpy fruits, they should find so little application in the preservation of milk. Only now and then a man, scattered here and there over the country just often enough to demonstrate its practicability, can be found who has rendered the easy way of preserving milk available. It should be more generally understood that milk can be preor? 1 nc r?nlnv frnif. if SCI V CU JUOC 440 A* treated iu the same way. There is 110 good reason why the delicious milk of June, or the rich milk of September and October could not be put up for the winter's use, to extend that luxury through all the year. gsIT A Chinese farm-hand can be hired by the year for from $7 to $17, with food, clothing, headshaving and tobacco.

I was as helpless as an infant in his grasp. As we went down he uttered several excited sentences in a ioreigu tongue. I knew like a flash that be and his companion wero Asiatics. The second man bounded forward and leaned over me while I struggled fiercely to bring my weapon into play. He added his voice to that of tlie other. One sentence, no word of which I could understand, was repeated again and again with increasing anger. The rising inflection at the end showed that he was asking a question or making a demand of me. They had mistaken me for Darius Howard and meant to make me answer them. I comprehended the error, and knowing my life hung on the passing seconds I replied: "I am an American. I am not Mr Howard." Without loosening his grasp the man on my shoulders wrenched me partly round and peered into my faca His countenance was so close that, despite the gloom, he must have noted my fea I felt the warmth against my nose. tares plainly enough to know that my words were true The second man stooped, and his countenance almost touched mine. Not fully satisfied, he drew a match from his pocket and struck it on the sole of his shoe. As the little flame flickered and came near being blown out in the slight air stirring I felt the warmth against my nose. My hat had fallen off, so that the view he obtained was perfect By the tiny twist of flame I saw their faces, black, swarthy visages that shone in the gloom tenfold more hideous than nnder the glare of the sunlight "A thousand pardons," said the man in my front "We make great mistake. We look for another man. A thousand pardons I" His accent was broken and had peculiar hissing aspiration. The one who had been holding my arms pinioned leaped backward with the dexterity of an aorobat, and I was free, without a hair of my head injured. I picked up my hat replaced it and rose to my feet. Tragedy and comedy are twin brothers, and pathos and humor go hand in hand. A moment before I was struggling helplessly for my life. Now the grim humor of the thing struck me, though I felt like emptying my'revolver into both of them. The East Indian who had addressed me in English repeated his apology over and over until it became monotonous. "I aocept your explanation," I said when he paused for breath, ' 'but after this I suggest that you ask a gentleman for his card before attacking him. I hope you and your friend are enjoying good health." With no appreciation of my humor, they both made a salaam as if saluting one of their own potentates at home and walked off toward the main road. "It would serve you right," I mut tered as the figures dissolved in the gloom, "to test my markmanship upon you." But why do that? They had apologized for their mistako and made all the reparation possible. Then, too, they must be armed, and their return shots might prove uncomfortable for ma The explanation of the incident was clear. The two were prowling around the house in quest of Darius Howard. Nothing could be more natural than the error they had mada Doubtless they had come all the way from India to settle some deadly dispute with the man who had brought with him tho ruby of Nana Sahib. It may have been to oompel him to restore it to them, from whom not unlikely he bad stolen it If this were the truth, the alertness of Howard and his wife was not that they feared shadowing and pursuit by any of our officers, but the enmity of their own countrymon.

The real problem still confronted me. Relieved of all fear from them, I resumed my approach to the building, from which still glowed the light that was my guide from the first. "Dogs are not the only animals to be dreaded," I reflected, "butsince I have enoountered both the way ought now to be clear." The resemblance to the dwelling of the night before struck me when I paused at the head of the lane. There was no man, however, pacing up and down with his lighted cigar and hum BtiURHSH.' ST. DEANE. Ion.] ruing the air of an opera, nor during the quarter of an hour that I waited did any one appear. At the end of that time I made a guarded circuit of the house, but could not gain a glimpse of the interior. It was as if the dwelling was hermetically sealed against all interlopers. But that which interested me was the light burning in an upper room. There the shade was partly raised, and it would seom interesting developments were awaiting ma But they would never appear bo long as I remained on the ground. Trees were thick all around me, and my course was obvious. The climbing of one of these trees was an 6asy task, and J was speedily among the limbs at a height of 15 or 20 feet from the earth. Then I turned and looked at the window. T*. Tfaa a nirflit: r\f rtisnnnnintmfinf. XV UUO U U?QUV w* ?.wv,rrv.w.^v^.v. While in the act of climbing the trunk some one within the room lowered the shade, shutting off my view as effectually as if the light had been extinguished. It was exasperating, for but for that interruption in the lane and my own lagging the coveted sight would have been gained. The faint hope that some whim would lead to the raising of the curtain again kept me among the limbs until my body was cramped. I must have staid there for fully an hour when, presto! all became blank darkness. The light had either been taken from .the room or put out No use of waiting longer. I drew my foot from'under me, meaning to descend the tree, when the faintest possible whistle sounded somewhere near ma Supporting myself with great care, I leaned downward and peered into the gloom. Although little vegetation was left on the branches, the shadow was so dense that the keenest vision was of little help, but while staring at what seemed to be the dim outlines of a trunk it moved slightly to one sida A rtWonf arlrnnooH tr\ moaf.

"My friend9 from the old world are holding a council of war," was my conclusion, for there was no doubt that they were the two whom I had encountered in the lane. "They are not likely to acquaint me with their decision." I had been in the tree so long that 1 was quite sure they were unaware of my presence Their action could not be explained on any theory of my own. They must have known what they wanted. Why, then, not enter the house and demand it, as they had demanded it of me when they had me down? But I had enough business of my own without meddling with theira Still it would be foolish to clash with them, and I waited among the branches until some minutes after they had stolen around the end of the house and vanished in the darknesa When it seemed safe to do so, I descended to the lower limbs and dropped softly to the earth. When my feet touched the ground, another fact became apparent?there were no liehts on the lower floor. Every one in the house bad retired for the night, following the custom which generally prevails in the country. A new apprehension arose. The treacherous Asiatics whom I had run against in the lane would remain near the building until all within were sunk in slumber. Then they would enter and make their demand upon Howard for the secret, whatever it was, they had sought to wrest from ma He would not give it They would insist, and a deadly struggle would follow. Murder was in the air. * I was still convinced that neither of these men, with all their subtlety, knew of my presence?a happy piece of good fortune for which I could claim no credit. The advantage, if I could keep it, was with me. I would wait and possibly prevent the consummation of a dark deed. Between the tree which I had climbed and the window was another tree, much closer. I did not use it because it could servo me no better, nnd in the event of any one of the inmates coming to the window he or she was likely to discern my figure among the branches. I stepped back from the spot where my feet first struck the earth and stood behind a larger trunk, which I took to be that of an oak. Its size afforded an effectual screen for my body, and I would naturally be on the outer circle of the men whom I was trying to watch If the two contemplated any evil deed, to carry it out they must enter the house. The natural way to do that was through C'Ue ot the dours or windows on the lower ri'ior. But they were sure to bo well secured, and an attempt to use i | them was liable to alarm the inmates Nothing could be more inviting than tho upper windows, which would not be so well fastened and were readily reached by means of tho trees growing on all sides of the housa TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEDNESDAY.
