robber gang who was lurking ia the vicini- j
ty cannot je said. A horrible suspicion
exists that the accident was a deliberately
planned case of train-wrecking; that the
bridge was set or. lire by miscreants who
heped to seize the opportunity offered. The
robbers went into the cars when the fire
was burning fiercely underneath, and when
the poor creatures who were pinned there
begged them for help, stripped them of;
their watches and jewelry and searched :
their pockets for money. When the (.lead 1

A Pica F.;r The Birsls.
I have read a good deal about the
iamage done in kite years by chinch
bugs, army worms, curculio, borers and
3ther insects "too numerous to mcu:ion;"
but few of th-j writers seem to
:hink or bo conscious of the reai reason
for the increasing number and harmfu;ness
of these pes is. jjui we do not have
to go far to Und tire reason, and it is
found in tiie widespread and outrageous
destruction of our birds. Think of the
enormous number of sa*a!i birds required
to deck ivI:os" hats nowadays:
and of the ruined crops of hundreds of
farmers and fruit growers in the United
States, and ask if the latter is not the
result of tiie former. Of course it is; no
nno will or can dispute it. What is to
be done? Something; and no time
should be lost in doing it. The American
Humane Society is, I think, doing
a good work i:i this direction, and
would in time blot out the bird-killing
business, especially as an adjunct to the
millinery trade of the country; bur it
cannot work a reform soon enough to
satisfy the pressing necessities of the
agricultural intercs: <. We must appeal
to law to stop tins indirect hatching and
raising of myriads of insects to destroy
the crops of the farmer, fruit grower
and martst gardener.
I do not think :: iaw against catching I
birds would do much good, for it would
not be enforced; but 1 think a law prohibiting
milliners, both wholesale and
retail, from handling these ghostly orna
meats would h:tvc uw ih'streaeiiect, ana
with such a. law we mighJ, in time, have
our birds as plentiful and useful as they
were a few years ago, before tills bloody
war 0:1 tuc!r? begatj.
But small birds are not the only insect
eaters tb:it arc being exterminated
for frivolous purposes. Tiic prairie
chickens arc faliiu^ ;.<y the thousand by
the ruthl:>ss hand of liio market shooter
?that vile blot upon the human race;
cruel as a liend; gr::sp?ng as a miser:
lazy as a sloth; bra:uless as an idiot,and
for hurmfidness ranking next to the
devil himself. Why allow lids low-lived
specimen of humanity to ply ins dastardly
and destructive work under the
very nose of the farther he is injuring?
Why not send him to the poorhou.se.
asylum or penitentiary, where he could
be kept with much less expense to the
farmers, who arc now ?u;?i>oriing hinir
But here is a point that puzzles mc.
kit the shor. t!:o blood, the broken
bono*, or the feathers, that makes prairie
chicken meat such :i delicacy? If
tame fowl were brought oil the table in
the condition in which the prairie
chicken is usually served, it would be
considered entirely unlit to cat; so J
don't think the epicurean public would
lose much if prairie chicken shooting
should be prohibited by law the year
round, for at least live years, and longer
if the birds were not plentiful enough at
the end of that time. I think there
vrnnM ho little or no objection to such
a law. Every sportsman in the United
States would like it, am! of course every
farmer would commend it; even the
market shooter would endorse it if be
had brains enough to comprehend its
advantages, for now be can hardly earn
fifty cents a day, owing to the scarcity
of game, while live years of this law
would be likely to leave a flock of the
birds on every ten-acre lot. Don't say
they would injure the crops then; surely
n.-> piniiid r>pr>."jii ean think that. From
April lit to July loth there is no grain
for theui to get, so during that time
they arc waging a war of extermination
upon a great many kinds of harmful
insects, and when the grain does
come they still prefer insects for the
most of their food, and only pick a little
grain to season the insects that, but for
them, would do more damage on an
acre than the birds would do on ten.
Then the grain is harvested jnsuie or
two weeks after it becomes eatable for
them. when they have to fall back on
insects again.
Xow here is a chance for some law
maker 10 cover himself all over with
glory. Who will come to the front and
save the farmer's crops from the ravages
of insccts, and the birds from the merciless
hunter??J. K. McBroom, in Farm,

Veal Pate.
Cut out the bone, and trim oil: ail me
fat and gristle which are put aside for ]
the jell v. The Jean part of the veal ,
must then be chopped very fine, and '
any small particles of fat wjiich may ;
still remain in it removed. Atl?l to the
ehopppd veal, six soda crackcrs rolled
very Cne, half a teaspoonful of '.salt, a j
little pepper, one heaping tablespoonful
of butter, and two well beaten eggs. ,
Mix ail well together, and pres3 tightly
into a square, or round tin to form it, i
then slip a knife round the edge to j
loosen it, and turn it from the form, ,
place it in a shallow baking pan, glaze
it with egg, sprinkle over it -one lmely
rolled cracker, and a table;rpoonful of
batter cut in small pieces. J?our^n the
pan one pint and a half of writer, which
serves as a gravy to baste it \yifch while
it is baking, and this should be ^done
about every twenty minutes. Two bours
will bake it in a moderate oven. It is
then carefully removed from?, the pan-by
slipping a knife beneath it to loosen
every part that it may not be "broken,
and placed on a plate to cool.
The jelly is mada as follow The
bones, fat, and trimmings of the veal
are put in a saucepan with one quaxt of
rvuri litilfi salt and th^sheUs of
the eggs which have been used for the
pate." Let all boii slowlv together,
while the pate is cooking, two Shours, or
until reduced to one pint. Strain, it and
let it stand to cool, then skim offJthe fat
which rises. Pour it again in the-saucepan,
place it on the fire, and add .half a
bos of Cox's gelatine, stirring until it
is thoroughly dissolved. Havre ready a
little burnt su^ar which is made by putting
in a small tin, one teaspoemfal of
line sugar, and one of waGer. Let it
boii very quickly until it becomes a dark
brown color, then strain, and let it
stand to cool. Piaco the pate in an
earthen dish, or mould, either round, or
square as the shape of the pate may be,
and the mould should be half an inch
larger all round than the pate. Pour
the jelly in, place it on the ice, and
when stiffened, it will have formed all
round the pate. When turning it from
the mould dip it as is done with a form
of jelly, in hot water for a moment only,
and turn it out on the dish on which it
is to be served. When cresses are in
season garnish with them, or parsley
will answer at other times. It is also
pretty with a few slices of lemons scattercci
through the parsley. The pate is
to be cut in thin sliccs when serving it.

haying the Foundations.
An old man, aged eighty, died in a
cave in a range of mountains in Pennsylvania
last summer. He had subsisted
for years by begging, living on
broken victuals, and carefully hiding
the money given him. After his death,
a large amount of silver was discovered
buried in the cave, with government
bonds and certificates of stock. His
son. who was a cripple, ho had allowed
to die in the countv almsiiouse.
An old man who knew him in his
youth, said.?
ilis father taught him to client at
marbles for pennies. Ho was trained
to believe that there was no value in
education, in religion, in the affections,
in the decencies, in the happiness of
life,?in nothing, in short, but money."

estates of England was disposed, when

and eventually became- a ju-'.ge iho-r:\
Sixe is now about Si' years vi age. handsome,
of good figure, and a style that j
has a rood deal of dash in it. It was
to her good looks and her style that she
owed her court-room marriage to Iran
P. Terry. Before that she had been the
wife of the notorious bank burglar.
Charley Ballard, who is now said to be
serving a long term of imprisonment in
Belgium. The marriage to Ballard took
place in England, where she was visit-'
ing, when she was about lo years old.
Bullard then wont by the name ot
Charles Well?. lie was a *ruarL fellow,
with a line address and plenty of snand
ing money, and the girl ho married
knew nothing about his real character,
lie took her to Paris, where he opened
a sort of American bar-room on a
showy scale, and installed his pretty
young wife as cashier. She naturally
attracted a good deal of notice, and the
venture prospered for a while. Buliard
gave it up, however, ami brought his
wife to New York. 11 was then siio
found out who and what be was.
Another wife soon turned up. and the
couple separated, never to meet again.
The second wife took her two children
and went off on her own account. How
she lived till she met Terry docs not
appear to be known. He was the son
of a millionaire sugar-planter :n Cuba,
and had made some money himself.
They were married without any ioss of
time, Out Uio suoseqr.em pruceuuiu^a
were not entirely harmonious. A number
of little unpleasantnesses occurred,
and leu up finally to a police-court sensation.
Airs. Terry was of a decidediv
jealous turn, and once on going through
her husband's pockets, after the manner
of wideawake wives, she found a gushing
letter from a young woman explaining
why a certain appointment was not
kept. It is needless to say that the letter
did not improve Mrs. Terry's state
of mind. Afier thinking a while she
set a trap for the young woman, and
caught her in it Then she called on
her at her home to give her a talking
to, and got turned out for her pains.

next step was to m:ike a charge against
the young woman of appropriating certain
money that she said, sho missed.
Then came the police-court sensation,
in which the two women played prominent
parts, and which the reporters
hnd a fine time writing up. After a
great deal of wrangling ii;e charge was
dismissed, and the second woman, a
Miss Alwood, soon afier retaliated by
suing Mrs. Terry for slander. She
claimed -525,000 damages, xnd a jury
awarded her $300, but as Mrs. Terry
had no property in nor name to levy on
t-HeLindo-mnnt is still nnr-aid. Miss At
wood will try pretty bard to collect it
when Mrs. T_rrv returns to New York
as a millionaire widow, if she does return.
Ker husband's will has been received
there for probate, and she will
probably follow it. The uuboru child

One Kind of Reading.
!
And how few persons who c:In devote
but an hour or half an hour a dav tc
reading and study, take due thought as
to how they can make the most of their
little leisure. They read in a desultory
way whatever comcs to hand, and think
tbat if they h:ul more time for books
they would soon become much better
informed. But the half hour a day, if
used in the wisest manner, would make
a vast difference in one's mental growth
us the years glide by.
An incident occurs to me tbat well illustrates
this. A pretty maiden-hair
fern, growing in a flower-pot, was given
to a young girl, hopelessly ill with
spinal disease. It proved tiling of
beauty and of inexhaustible interest,
as the delicate, graceful fronds came up,
one by one. and slowly uncnricd. There
was a little pot beside the fern and
tinder its spreading fronds, in which
cjew an aloe. By-and-by the sick girl
noticed in the little pot some tinv f&rns,
__ :?_u i.? <],?

raaidcn-hair. Whence came they? Her
interest was aroused. She was no
botanist, but she wanted to learn something
about ferns. She could xise her
eyes for reading but live minutes at a
time, and not more than twice :i day.
A. book on ferns camc to her, and another,
and another. Friends knowing
her interest in ferns, brought them to
her fresh and green from the woods, or
sent her pressed specimens of rare
rarieties gathered in distant lands.
Sometimes a visitor would read to her
from one of her precious books, but
Dnlv for four or iive minutes. -I cannot"
remember more at a time," she
would say, "and you have read enough
for me to think about for a long time."
It is now some years since the maidjn-hair
fern was given to her. and she
bas become an authority as to the
species and culture of ferns, and is an j
jathusiast in regard tu them. "Jt is true ]
:hat she has become educated m one !
direction only, and is not particularly !
(veil-informed in other respects. But is j
it not a great gain that she should tatk
ibout lier ferns and their wonderful
method of reproduction, awakening her
istencrs' interest and teaching them
rany things worth remembering, rather

A NAMELESS CASE. j
?.Iv case bas been a very curious ono
for aboet thirteen year.-. At intends of
about one week I would be attacked with
spells oi severe ana moss excruciating
pain, always commencing in the region
of ray kidneys. The pain would then go
upwards and affect my body and head,.
and seemed to penetrate my very eye- i
balls, creating the most intense suffering,
lasting about eight hours each spell.
I resorted to all kinds of medicine1
without benefit. Several doctors treated j
my case, but none gave relief. I finally I
used B. B. B. as au experiment, and to
my utter sc.tonishment all pain and suf-1
fering vanished after using three dosc-s.
To the present time i have used threr
botties, and not a pain has ever returned.
I do not know what was the matter,
neither couid my physician name the
complaint. The B. B. B. acted finely
