1 saw liiiuinR up In the kilchen of a thrifty,
healthful, atuuly farmer iu Oxford county,
-Viinii a bitllomU.it jug ! Tho host saw thai
llieiurious tiling had caujht my eye, and lie
smiled.
"You arc wonderin j wliat that j'lg Is ims
inj up there for, with It bottom knocked
out?" ha said : "My wife, perhaps, could tell
you the story better than I can ; but she is
bashful, Htid I aint, bo I'll tell it."
"My fitllicr, as you arc probably aware,
owned Una farm before me. llo lived to a
good old aye, worked hard all his life, never
sqiiaiuleieil tnotiey, was a shrewd, careful tra
der, and a (rood calculator; and, as men were
sceiinnted in his days and generation, he was
a temperate men. I was tho juunKest boy;
and when i be old man was ready to go and he
knew it the oilier boys agreed that since 1
had stayed at home and taken euro of the old
folks, the (arm should be mine. And to inc It
was willed. I had been married then three
years.
"Well, father died mother had (jone three
years before and left tho farm to me with a
mjrit;:me on 11 of two thousand dollars 1 I'd
never thought so much ot it before; but I
thought of It now. I said V Molly my wife
'Molly,' says I, look here! Here's father
had llils farm In Its first strength of soil, with
all IU magnificent limber; and bis six boys, us
they grew up equal to so many men, to help
him ; and he has worked hard worked eatly
and lata aud yet look at it ! a mortgage of
fc'MK) ? What can I do? And '. went to that
old Jug it had Us bottom In then and took a
good still drink of Old Mcdford Ktim from
it.
"I noticed a curious look on tho face of my
wife just then, and I asked her what sh
thought of It : for 1 supposud, of course, she
was thinking of what I'd beeu talking about.
Ai.d so she was. Suva flio :
"Charles, I've tiiollglit of this a good deal:
and I have thought of a way in which I believe
we can clear that mortgagu oil before live more
years are ended.'
"days I ; 'Molly tell me how you'll do It!'
"She thought for u little while, and then lc
said, with funny twinkling In her blua eyes-
says eho 'Charles, you must promise me
solemnly, and sacredly. Promise ma that you
will never again bring home for the purpose of
drinking for a bt'veiage at uny ono time more
rpirlt of any kind than you can bring iu that
old jug the Jug that your father lias used cm
since 1 kuew him, and which you have used
since be was done with It!"
'Well, 1 knew that father used once In
while, especially In baying lime, and in the
winter when we were ut work In the woods
to get au o'd gallon jug filled, so I thought
alio meant that 1 should never buy more th in
two quirts at a time. I thought It over, un
after a Utile told her I would agree lo I
Now, mind,' said she; 'you are never-newc
to bring home for a common bev.erugu more
spirit than you can bring In that Idculhal
Jug.' And I gave her the promise
And before I went to bed that night I t. ok
the last pull at tho jug. Aa I was turning it
out for a sort of a night cap Molly looked i
and says: 'Charley liavoyuu a drop left?'1

she said, if I had n J objection shu would drink
lhat hint drvi) with Aie. I never shall forget
how alio brought It oul 'Thnt last uiioi' !'
However, I tipped the old Jug bottom up, and
g,U a great spoon full, and Molly said Hint w
vuougli. She took the tumbler ami poured
few drops of hot water Into It, and a bit

Bec inse that was the way I felt at the moment.
The was there, but the bottom was gone !
Molly had been and taken a sharp chisel aud a
hiininer, anil with a skill that might hav done
credit lo a master-workman, she hal clipped
the bottom c can out ot tlirt Ju without even
cracking the edges, or the alJn ! I looked at
the Jug, and then I looked at Molly.
And then she burst Slio spoke
O! I have never hoard anything
like it ! N'o, nor I have ever heard atiythlug
like H since. Said she :
"Charles! There's where tho mortgage on

In that Jug-two quarts at a time ! And there's
where all the debt has been ! And there's

band, your appetite ia going also ! 0 ! let the

dear heart! aud remember your promise lo
me."
And sit" threw her arms around my neck,
and bnrt into tears. She couldn't speak
more.
And there was uo need. My eyes were
opened, as th. mgU by magic. In a single min
ute the whole scene passed hofore me. I saw
all the mortgages, on all the farms in our
neighborhood; and I thought where the money
had gone. The very last mortgage father had
ever made bad been to pay a bill held against
hint by the man who had tilled his jug for
years ! Yea 1 sa.v it all, as It passed before mo

'And 1 have kept it. In le'3 tli.tu live years,
Molly said, the mortgage was cleared oft,

A STRANGE STORY.
The Strathmore family fa one of th oldest
in Scotland, and Its head lias been an earl ever
line U'23. A correspondent of the Mail and
Express writes that for four generations there
has been a mystery at Glamls castle which no
one bus ever been able to fathom. Soma said
It was a ghost, others a mysterious hidden
treasure; but rumors ot a more or less uncanny
nature filiated round the country anil have
done so for about ninety-three years. Four
earls of Stratlunorii haye seated themselves iu
ancestral sWte at Westminster, and yet all tie
while the rral earl, the eldest of th family,
was alive, bidden lu Ibe vast old feudal palate
atClaiuii, lie died only lsst year, aged nine
two years, iDJ he was a monster. Ho stood
eight feet In height. Ills head and the
upper part or his body resembled that o( a
toad. His skin was marked with black and
white splotches, .ind his h ill 'l wore webbed.
Uo could not speak or hear, but his eyas were
bright but wild. Ho never showed signs of
reason, and In order to avoid legal dluicultler
this horror was hidden In a building erected
on purpose. Hid jailers were paid bandsoni'
annuities to keep silent. As each earl suc
ceeded to the estate he was taken to lee this
terrlllc creature, and it is said that one of these
gentlemen almost lostjhia reason In belioldluu
the loathsome and gigantic horror. Last year
the poor wretch died and the secret has coin,
out, owing lo dillletiltios concerning the d is
posal of the remains.

HOW THE SNAKE GETS A NEW SUIT.
'Some people think that snakes only shed
tin ir skins st certain seasons of thu year," said
the keeper, "'"bat's a mistake. If thoy arc
well fed and kept right warm they change their
ooat about every eight weeks through the
year." ''Docs it pain them ?" Not a bit of It
You see the skin of a snake does not increase
In size as Ihe reptile grows, us with us. While
the old skin Is getting smaller by degrees, a
new one is forming underneath, und the olhei
gradually gels drv. When ll is ready to shed,
It loosen around tho Hps, and the reptile rubs
itself against IhWearth or the rock lu the cage,
and I urns the tipper put over tho eye and tin
lower part over Iho throat. Then it commence
to glide around the glass case, all the lltue rub
bing Itself against something until
the entire skin Is worked oil, riometimcs this
takes three dajs; occasionally they get rid of
(he hicuiiiuraiicc iu a few hours. I don't be
lieve they havo a bit of Intelligence. For all 1
feed them and care for them, they would us
lief bite tlio as any stranger. I cau handle a
good many of them safely, but It's only the
knack of the thing not that they wou't bite,
tut that they can't get the chance."

THEY ARE NOT STRANGERS MAMMA.
Mrs. H'deti Williams in th Woman's World.
N" it long ago I stood by the death bed of a
lillegiil. From her birlh she had been afraid
of death, livery II lire of In r body and soul
lied from thu sight ot It. "Don't let me
die," the said: don't let me die. lloM tue
fast, ti'.i, I can't go." "Jenny," I said "yon
have two little brothers in the oilier World, and
there are thousands of tender hearted people
orer there who will love you and take cue ot
you." Hut she cried out again despairingly:
"Don't let mo go; they are atraugets over
there." She was a little country girl, strong
limbed fleet nf foot, tanned lit face; she Was
n:sed on Hie fnuitin; the I'nlds were Iter
home, lu tain we ti led to re. oiiciln her to tho
death tl.i t was inevitable. -'Mold me fast,"
6hc cried, "don't let me go." Hut even as sho
w is pleading her little h.inls relaxed their
clinging hold from my waist ami lifted thi in-
sclves cagi rly aloft; lifted lit -in elves with such
straining ('Hurt that th")" lifted the wasted
little body from its rcciiiiing'osiiion among
tho pillows, ller f.i.'e was turned up .van!; t ut
It was her eyes that told the s'ory. They were
llllctlwith the light of divine recognition
They saw something plainly that we could lint
8' e; nnd they grew brighter and brighter, and
her Utile hand qulvreii in eagerness to go
where strange portals h id opened upon her
astonished vision. Hut even In that supreme
moment she did not forget to h ave a word ol
comfort for those who would gladly have dud
iu her place : "Mamma," aha was savin
m inima, they are not si ranger-. I'm u d
afraid." And every Instant thu light burned
more gloriously lu her blue eyes lit at list It

ROOF MA0E0F GLASS.
A novelty In glass has been gotten out by
well known glass llrm lu Pennsylvania. It is
a glass shingle, made In diuuioiid shape, and so
constructed that it can be easily fastened to
thu roof. The .shingle is about a ipiarlcr of an
inch thick, and the four sides each about li v
inches In length. At each side Is n slot which,
with Hie slot of the shingle next to It, forms
(tie hole through which they are fastened to
the roof. Wheu placed on i lie roof the ends do
not overlap each other as slate do, but tit In
one below the two above I,. They hate solid
bearings on the root and run be walked on
without locating. They are corrugated 10
thai the rain ruus oft quickly.
They iiro undo lu Very simple way. The de
sired mould Is put into a press and Hie plate
stamped out from a mass of moltv.ii glass,
7'hero Is no patent on this part of tho work,
as there, Is nothing unusual about It. Tho tl nil
has manufactured them in several dlllerent
shades, and a very pretty effect Is produced
by the sun shining up n a nf made up of
ililTeient colors. A house roofed with these
plates has no tp ed ot a lightning rod, glass
being a non-conductor electricity would not
attract the lightning. The cost of a good roof
I about the s one as a good quality slate roof,
but the linn claim tliat.they will lust longer, and
cau b used again If the orlgiusl roof ll taken
off.
WHERE THEJJLO CANS GO.
People often wonder what becomes of the
old tomato and fruit cans. They are taken to
Newark and sold for fifteen cents a hundred.
The price is a, nail, but the cans are numerous.
and the gathering of them pays handsomely,
If our informant tells thu truth. Tho Newark
purchaser sorts them out mid put
them Into a large furnace, which
softens them so that they can be rolled by
machinery Into plates. These plants aro artis
tically blackened and present a smooth put
Ished surface. Tho trunk-makers buy them to
bind the edges and bottoms of trunks, and
often cover upon defects of wood-work. In
t tils manner old tomato cans becotna a most
ust ftil as well as ornamental material. Ttis
process of beating the cans also has its
prolltablo result, for the solder, running
through a grate inlo a receptacle, Is sold for
twelve cents a poun I, it alone paying, it is
claimed, all the price originally paid for the
cans.
