Til try to drop in before the session is over." 1mg before the chairman called the city fathers to order, the hall was cloudy with tobacco smoke. There was little that was Impressive in the personnel of the municipal Solous, nor was their gathering marked by oignity. It Is a sad reflection that the everage city council is fairly representative of its constituents. It Is tho mirror of urban ignorance, deceit and cupidity; of the varying grades of venality, relieved by a sprinkling of upright, but too often Impractical men. Righteousness enactments are wrung from such bodies only by fear of public indignation, and corrupt measures go down to defeat only when detection and punishment faces the jurchasable majority. John Burt and John Hawkins looked down on this motley crowd of civic statesmanship. Various minor matters had been delated and decided when the chairman announced that the hour set for the consideration of the franchises of the Cosmopolitan Improvement company had arrived. A clerk read the ordinances, and each alderman was provided with a copy of them. Alderman Hendricks arose and was recognized. He was tho accredited champion of the Cosmopolitan franchises. He made an able presentation of the arguments in favor of the pending ordinances. He was empowered by his constituents to vote in their favor, he said. They promised a relief from the exactions of a grinding monopoly. Theirs sponsors were wealthy, reputable citizens whose words were as good as tholr bonds. There could be no intelligent, unselfish opposition to these measures, and o on to an eloquent peroration. It was a good speech, snd worth all that was paid for IL Others followed In a similar atraln, though not so logically or grammaticlaque In he cally. A gallery applauded at proper Intervals. Other speeches were made, for and against the ordinances, and then Alderman Hendricks moved the previous question. It was carried, and the roll-caordered The clerk, pencil In hand, began his monotonous task. "First ward Aldorman PatrickT" sort" yelled a shrill voice. The claque applauded vigorously. much-neede- Mr. Hillyer's Burglar Alarm. Mr. Hillyer was a heavy alecper, fin was a man, also, with a chronic fear of burglars. It was these two things that led him to have the win of his sleeping room equipped with a burglar alarm of the latest and most approved description. A few mornings after the device had been Installed lie came down to breakfast with a grin on his face. "I had a funny dream last night'' he said. "I dreamed that a burglar raised my w indow and the alarm went off, but he didn't seem to mind It. He rumaged the bureau drawers, found my watch and pocketbook and slipped out the way he came In. By the way," he added, "I forgot to bring down my watch and pocketbook. I'll go and get them. He went upstairs and returned In a moment with an entirely different look on his face. The watch and pocket book were gone. It had not been a dream. Youth's Companion. dow d well-drille- ll "A-ay- e, "Alderman SabosklT" "Aye," sounded a clear tenor, The gallery was again liberal In Its approbation. Aldorman Rounds?" callod the clerk. A tall, awkward man rose and faced the chairman. Ilia red hair was plastered over his forehead, and his hand stented in the way. In one of them he held a package, and In the other some loose papers. He raised his eyes to the gallery snd they twinkled as they rested for a moment on John Burt. "Mr. President, I desire to explain my vote on these ordinances. There was no objection. The Cosmopolitan partisan: believed that Alderman Rounds had been won over to their side, and were willing he should attempt to explain the reasons tor bis change of heart "Mr. Chairman," began Alderman Rounds, placing his papers on the desk, and with his hands plunged In his pockets, "two years ego, when the original Cosmopolitan ordinances came up for passage, I voted en' spoke against them.

Sara Rounds reached out and picked a small package from the table and looked at it longingly. Alderman Hendricks turned In bis chair and gazed uneasily at the speaker. There was something In his manner which caused a hush to fall on the assembly. said Alderman "Mr. Chairman, Rounds, slowly unwrapping the package as he continued, "money Is the preatest argument in the world. Logic is a fine thing, but money beats logic. I admire the man who has the gift of eloquence, like my honorable colleague from my ward, but money can give eloquence a handicap an beat it every time.

I'll not take up much As of your time, said Sam Rounds.

Sam tore away the wrapping and disclosed a layer of crisp banknotes. Every eye in the room was fixed on the speaker as he stepped forward and laid them on the chairmans table. Dazed and demoralized, no member of the opposition dared interrupt (To be continued.) When Hla Head Swelled.

For a long time ILwas Impossible to raise tho large English varieties ot gooseberry In this country, on account of (he tendency to mildew; now the cause ot the trouble Is better understood snd can he obviated In various ways, so that It Is comparatively easy to grow many of the very large sorts. Some new large varieties have been produced which are less liable to mildew than the older ones, though most of (hem will do so more or lesa Jn unfavorable seasons, unless great care Is exercised. In the first place, the bushes should have plenty of room as a crowded condition is one of the causes of the trouble. They should not be planted in a place where the wind cannot blow freely among them, but in an airy situation where there will bo less tendency to dampness. The dampness alone Is not so bad, aa the effect of the hot sun on the bushes after a prolonged wet spell. Judicious pruning has much to do with the prevention of mildew, as where the old wood Is removed and the extra branches taken out the air haa a better chance for circulation and lesa mildew will be the result To sum up the matter, the best way to obviate the difficulty is to plant the bushes where there Is a good circulation of air. In partial shade during the heat of the day, and keep the husoes well thinned of branches. If the fruit Is so heavy as to bear the branches down to the ground, a frame should bo provided to hold them up. When mildew appears In spite of all precaution, a spray can be applied that will effectually check IL as mildew yields more readily to the fungicide than almost any other fungus. To ounce of make It dissolve one-hal- f liver of sulphur In one gallon of water, and spray the hushes thoroughly, beginning when the disease first begins and repeating If necessary. In damp seasons the work will be needed more ' often. Bordeaux mixture has also proved a valuable help In this work, four applications being necessary during the season, two before blooming and two If currant worma are also after. working, add a little parts green or white hellebore to kill them. It will not be found a hard task to light mildew, as It does not appear every season, often being years between. In our experience of many years we have had It but once, and think our freedom from It due to tho care In planting and pruning. Renovated Butter In Michigan. The laws of Michigan are rigid regarding the sale of renovated butter. Two of the sections state that whoever has for sale "renovated butter," as defined in a previous section, shall have the words "Renovated Butter" marked, so that the conspicuously words cannot be easily effaced, upon two sides of the container of the butter. When renovated butter Is sold in print, roll or other form, before being delivered to the purchaser It shall be done up in wrappers upon which Is stamped in plain view of the purchaser, with no other printing thereButter." on, the words "Renovated Any violation of this act will be considered a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine of not lesa than $25 or more than $500 and the costs of prosecution, or by imprisonment for not less than Bix months or more than three years, or by both fine and Imprisonment according to the discretion of the court Bury Dead Hogs Deep. Hogs that have died of cholera should be buried dorp In a place that will not be used as feedThe ing ground by other hogs. pit if possible should be near the place where they expired, as it is not desirable to haul them about the farm in wagons. By this latter method, the disease Is spread, rutting quicklime shout the body before it is covered helps to lessen the danger of the disease germs getting from the body to the surface. But even then It is possible that after the lime haa taken la enough water to neutralize It there will be some germs left to pass Into the soil with the soil water. The more superficial the burial the greater the danger. The Strawberry Bed After Fruiting. The strawberry bed should receive attention as soon as the harvest is ended. Where large beds of strawberries are grown, the mower can be used In clipping off the old vines, snd as weeds will have grown up quite thickly In the rows snd between the rows where a mulch has not been used, the second work la to cultivate between the rows to destroy the weeds. If the rows are narrowed up considerably and the growth of vines Is luxuriant, the problem of keeplnj down the weeds will be more easily solved. Pear Culture Expensive. The culture of pears has proved Itself so far an expensive enterprise. Many a mau, who has tried to grow pears, has given it up with the declare tion that all the pears he ever suo cecded in growing cost him more than oranges. This has heen due to a single obstacle the susceptibility of the pear tree to blight. More often than not the pear orchard falls before the scourge. Any man that can develop a btight-proo- f pear tree that bears fruit of good quality will make hi fortune. I r ' i t M i i " s' v i i |
