Modern Methods Worth While.
.A man can't hope to be a success
on a farm if be is careless aDout ousiness
methods and management. The
latest method for a joyful career on
the homestead is none too good for
the modern farmer. Time and poor
farming have wrought wonders with
the soil fertility, but the balance is
on the wrong side of the ledger. The
fertility has been depleted.
\ If a merchant left boxes of merchandise
standing behind his store,
exposed to the weather, a board
would inquire into the soundness of
his mind. A farmer can leave his
farm implements out in the rain or
Storm, and his conscience won't hurt
. him a bit. The insanity board won't
he looking him up, either.

IN THE KHYBER PASS.
Horse Thieves Do a Thriving Business
at the Famous Gateway.
The Kyhber Pass is the chief gateway
into Afghanistan. Sixteen miles
south of it is the city of Peshawur.
The adjoining valley and hills have
always been the haunts of professional
thieves. The objects which they
most covet are arms, money and
horses^ In securing these they evince
great skill and daring. x
Their most popular moae or norse
stealing requires at least three men
to carry it out comfortably and successfully.
One of them quietly steals
his way into the stable and takes hold
of a cord which has been pushed
through one of the holes in the wall
by an accomplice outside.
' The two use this string as. a saw-,
while the third man pours upon it a
plentiful supply of water. The cord
silently and speedily cuts its way
down the mud wall.
In a wonderfully short time the
three craftsmen manage to saw round
a portion of the wall, which when
pushed outward leaves a space sufficient
to allow a horse to pass out.
This done, the remaining work pre
sents no difficulty. The ropes which
bind the horse are cut, and in a short
time he is cantering to the hills, with
generally two or three of his new
masters on his back.
A somewhat bold and impudent exploit
in thd horse-stealing line was
once the amusement and the talk of
the British military station for some
days. The cantonment was surrounded
at sundown by a chain of sentries.
This demanded a great number of
men, and all regiments, cavalry and
infantry, European and native, nightly
gave their proportions.
A native trooper on this occasion
fastened his horse to the peg fixed
about the middle of his "beat," and
to keep his courage and himself
warm?the night was bitterly cold?
walked smartly backward and forward.
The extent of this walk was not
more than thirty yards, and thus at
1 1 +V.OT,
no time couia ne Iiave uecu muic iuau i
fifteen yards from his charger. He !
was armed with a short rifle and a
tulwar or sword.
While he was thus doing duty a ,
hiUman managed to crawl quite close
to him without exciting notice, and
waiting quietly until the sentry was
near the end of his walk, and of
course, with his back to the horse,
the robber cut the charger's rope,
mounted him and in a moment wae

CAT CAUGHT A BURGLAR.
Feline Made Intruder's Presence <
Known to a Household.
A Russian sheep cat, belonging to ]
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hunker, of 636 ?
Carlton avenue, played a prominent .
part recently in capturing a burglar,
who had been indiscreet enough to ,
enter the apartment in which this in- j
telligent pussy had been left. All j
the credit for the capture, however, .
does not belong to the cat, for Dr. ;
F. I. Leonard, a brother-in-law of ,
Mrs. Hunker, was on the scene and j
completed the work the cat had start- ]
ed Every Sunday evening Mr. and ,
Mrs. Hunker go out for dinner. They ]
generally arrive home in the neighborhood
at 8:30 o'clock. : Dr. Leon- <
ard, who is a frequent caller at the j
house, has a key to the apartment, 1
and folio-wing his custom for several
years, he closed up his office shortly
after 8*. o'clock, and went to the
home of his sister-in-law. I
The door leading to the apartment 1
was unlocked, but he did not pay 1
any attention to this, thinking that 1
Mr. and Mrs. Hunker had carelessly ]
left it unfastened, the Brooklyn 1
Eagle says. After lighting the gas <
his attention was attracted to tjie cat, 1
which was acting in a peculiar man- i
ner. Ordinarily the animal is very l
affectionate, but it would not per- 1
mit Dr. Leonard to stroke it, and as <
soon as the gas was lighted it ran '
toward the parlor, sniffing like a J
dog. Dr. Leonard followed it and on 1
entering the parlor he saw a dark
form crouched behind a chair. With- (
out any formalities, the doctor rush- '
ed to the figure and grabbing a man ?
by the neck demanded his business. The
intruder begged for mercy and 1
said that he had entered the place to
get something to eat, thinking he
said, that he was in someone else's
house.
The capitol in Washington is 118 j
years old. The cornerstone was laid
in September, 1793. But, old as the
building is, it is not yet finished and
probably never will be.

Ask any user. Four new <
models just received. Ask for a demonstration.

LEAVES PROPERTY TO DOG.
Strange Bequest Made by Woman in
WilL
The pet dog of a woman who died
last week is to be the "defendant" in
in interesting claim about a will, says
i Vienna dispatch.
The woman, Frau Bela Czabo, wid
3w of a Hungarian official, was
found dead from heart disease in
tier flat. She left a will bequeathing
ill her possessions, including $5,000
ready cash, to her pet dog, which
which has a luxurious private room
in the flat, with mirrors and silk
brocaded furniture and was fed on
seasonable delicacies, from partridges
to spring chickens.
Relatives of Frau Czabo intend to
contest the will and nave taken possession
of the dog until its claims to
the estate have been settled.
All Would be Different.
If there were no women men would
have no object in life; their mustachse
would cease to interest them;
they would not care a Chinaman
whether their collars were ironed or
Qot; they would have nobody to nurse
them when they had the toothache,
>r to keep them from believing they
were going to die when an old-fashioned
stomach-ache . had the grip
ipon them. There would be nobody
to take for ice cream and no small
edition of flesh and blood to hug.
rhere would be nobody to fight
igainst being kissed and then come
to it is natural as a cat does to cream.

RUG SUPERSTITIONS.
In the Orient Maidens Weave Their
?
Thoughts?Fear of the Evil Eye.
The little cottage Oriental rugs often
made by girls who are shortly to
be married, in Turkey, Persia, on the
Aremnian plateau and in Afghanistan,
carry with them all the poetry
and mysticism of the Oriental girl's
mind, as she is just budding into
womanhood.
She weaves into the rugs almost
her very thoughts?so much is rugweaving
a part of the Oriental life,
and so little is it a purely commercial
pursuit. Time is not counted of
value in the East when rugs are
made. Consequently, Americans have
found it impossible to compete with
the Orientals in the manufacture of
these practically everlasting products.
In some parts of the Oriental-rug
countries, it is considered wrong to
have the rugs seen in the making by
Christians. If such an accident occurs,
and one from the Western
world views one of the rugs, the
workman offsets the suspected injury
by weaving a small white spot in the
rug, to keep away the "evil eye."
Sometimes, when the rug is not
made for sale, but as the dowry of
some girl at the time of her marriage,
and when something inauspicious had
happened, a little break is left in the
border of the rug, by which it is
hoped that the devil may escape from
the household. Were the border
continuous, the Orientals believe that
the devil would run around and
around the rug, and never leave the
house.?"Suburban Life."
