MY STOCK SPECULATION. How a Philadelphian Let Down His Purse Upon the Margin of a ‘‘ Buck= et=-Shop,’” and Lost. THE newspapers all over the country outside of New York contained advertisements inviting anybody who possessed a three-cent postage stamp to write for a book and circular, to be forwarded free of expense, and which, among much other delectable information, was to contain ‘‘unerring rules for success’ for operating the stock market. Many of the prominent publications belonging to the religious ress, I find, en%lorsed the system and Ead many a good word to say for the proprievors thereof. With such highly respectable advocates to advise in favor of this mode I boldly inclose $25 in a registered letter, requesting that firm to include it in any combination fhat in their judgment seemed most promising, and then went to sleep to dream of the riches I was soon to acquire. Promptly came an acknowledgment of the receipt of the money, with a certificate of ownership to the extent of twenty-five shares in a ‘‘ combination formed to operate in stocks or other securities. Statements of transactions will be mailed all shareholders weekly, and at the expiration of one month from date this combination will be closed and profits divided pro rata-among the: shareholders. No part of profits or capital to be withdrawn until close of combination. All operations to. be carried on at the discretion of the undersigned,’” etc. Accompanying the certificate was an eight page pamphlet giving copies of letters received from gratefufco’rres—spondents, some of whom had been saved from financial ruin by the investment of $lOO through the house to whom I had intrusted my money. There was also, the affidavit of a joyous creature. who had put $25 in the combination mill and had the unspeakable felicitfr of seeing it, converted into $9OO, and I don’t know how many odd dollars and cents in the incredibly short space of two weeks. A merchant on the eve of failure averted the catastrophe by using a thousand dollars of his creditors’ money, having: employed it so profitably through the infaflible combination system that he not only paid his debts but made a fortune besides. The ‘‘unerring rules,’”’ "also received, were gems 0% the first water. ““Never buy stocks when they are up,” ‘““never se%l stocks when they are down,” *‘always take your profits,” etc. I have quoted -these specimens simply to show that the proprietors of these places do know what to do dnd t communicate the valuable information to the world at large, as no man has the right to monopo?ize the talismanic rules the possession of which will enable any ong to avoid the shoals and quicksands with ‘which Wall. street so abounds. At the expiration of ten days a printed account current came to hand with a record of ‘the transactions in which I was interested and showing a profit over all expenses of $6.25. This was encouraging. It was 25 per cent. gain on the capital invested, and I began to calculate what it would amount to at the end of the year. As the profits: would increase the sum to be used in the venture, the thing would grow, you see, like the well-known snow-ball that we used to roll in the garden after the storm.. I won’t entangle you in my. web of figures, but simply state the result, so that you can see at a glance what a good thing I had. Well, then, making twenty-five per cent. a week and adding profits to principal, at the expiration of twelve months I expected to become the owner of $51,200. Surely, ‘‘great oaks from little acorns grow!’ ~ Another week passed, and another statement came with precisely the same result, and this fortified me in my belief that I had struck the right road at last. A letter was also received the next day soliciting me to forward one hundred dollars in order to participate in the bénefits of a combination then forming, an operation they contemplated, and which promised a success so brilliant that ever afterward I would be not only a customer, but a firm friend of their house. 1 didn’t have one hundred doltars, and couldn’t in -any way raise so large a sum, and the disappointment I suffered at the prospect of losing such an opportunity made me gloomy and miserable, and I at once wrote my correspondents what a heart-break it was that I could not accept their liberal offer. I ought to mention that I was constantly receiving quotations of stocks and an occasional sheet. of half a dozen pages, printed with large, clear type on the best of paper, posting me regarding the wonderful luck of some of their unnamed customers and filled with appeals to take advantage of the present exceptionally propitious time to embark in operations in the stock market. Now came another notice witl? an account current for the third week of the operation. This time, to my horror, I found all. my profit and half the original capital swept away, and this was accompanied by the consolatory information that the ¢ unprecedented haste that had marked the efforts of a large numbir of small speculators toget rid of their holdings had completely” bewilderéd the large operators (!), precipitating a decline that obliged wus to. make great personal sacrifices’ in order to protect our patrons, and although we have lived through the storm, we were obliged, most reluctantly, to witness the destruction of many a well-conceived and judiciously-executed combination.” This gave a rude shock to my rose-colored anticipations, and, not wishing to ﬁgass the rest of the winter with nothin more substantial than a straw hat anﬁ linen coat, I wrote a lettér instructing them to close my account and remit the balance. Two or three days after a few lines were received calling my attention to the contract they forwarded when the money- was sent, wherein it - was stated: ““No part of profits of oﬁg; inal capital to be withdrawn until the ~close of the combination.”” So I had no control over the investment after the money had passed into their hands, and I must, therefore, wait and be a silent sKecta.tor of the financial gymnastics that spirited away my capital and my hopes. ~ it o ~ Idid not have much longer to wait. A few hours brought me news of the ~ doom of the remaining dollars. A melancholy preface began this dismal story,

referring to a dastardly conspiracy, headed Eﬁ that awful Jay Gould, which had knocked the market into smithereens, caught an army of keen, shrewd speculators, and wrecked them all so completely that they didn’t own money enough to pay car fare home that night. “Trusting to appearances well calculated to deceive tﬁe most experienced veterans on 'Change, we, unfortunately, were caught in the same dreadful storm that has proved so fatal to many of the best-known men on the street.” My money disappeared in a series of dissolving views, intensely interesting while they lasted, but now gone, never to return.— Philadelphia Times. :

An Oyster Dealer’s Experience. . ‘““ ARE you in a hurgy?” a Brooklyn oyster dealer inquired of a man for whom he was opening his third oyster. The man had ordered a dozen, and was plainly in haste, but, seeing that a lady had entered the saloon, he said that he had plenty of time, and began to munch broken , crackers until the oysterman was again ready to wait upon him. Sl “*What can I do for you, ma’'m?” the dealer inquired, turning to the lady. , : ‘“ Are your codfish fresh?'’ the new customer demanded, looking suspiciously at some large ones on the board. - . ¢Only two hours out of the water,” the dealer answered. ¢‘Hardly dead yet. Only six cents a pound.” ' ““Weigh that one for me,” the lady said. The fish weighed five pounds; that was too large; another weighed two; but that was too small. A third weighed three and a half; that was just richt; but the lady had changed her mind, and preferred haddock. This also was six cents, and a fish of suitable weight was soon found; but four cents a pound was all that the customer was willing to give. Moreover, she had now set her heart upon smelts, and, as there were none in the saloon, she turned her attention to oysters. ‘I want them for frying,”’ she said. ‘“ Howe much are they a hundred?”’ “A dollar and a quarter,”” was the reply; ‘“and cheaper at-that than you can .get: them anywhere else in the city.”” | . “Then open fifty for me, if you please,’’ the lady said. * Will you allow me to attend to this gentleman first?”’ the dealer asked, pointing to the man who had been obliged to take a recess after eating three oysters. " ¢ Certainly not,”” the lady said, snappishly. “T'm ina hurry,” and as the man had by this time finished nearly all the crackers and, in a great measure, lost his appetite for oysters, he said, politely, that he was willing to wait. The fifty oysters were opened, and, after closely examining them, the lady said: ) ‘“Now, I don’t mind giving you fifty cents for those if you will paste them over with flour and egg, and fix them up for frying just us they do in' Fulton Market.” ' | The dealer breathed very haxjd as he looked at his unpromising customer. ‘“ Perhaps,”” he said, ‘‘you would like me to go to your house and cook them for you.” W}i,thout another word the lady gathered up her gloves, handkerchief and reticule, restored her purse. to its place in the latter receptacle, and, bestowin upon the dealer a look of c‘ombine% scorn and indignation, swept out of the saloon. : ¢ Well, women is queer creatures,”’ the dealer muttered, as he looked at the receding form. _‘‘Skinflints, all of ’em. I wouldn’t trust my own wife where a bargain was to be had.”” And he turned around to find the man who had eaten the three oysters. But that person had forgotten to pay for the oysters, emptied the bowl of broken crackers, and gone out.—N. Y. Sun.

- Turkeys. ' If you,are thinking of raising turkeys next year study up the subject this winter and hatch the earliest eggs you can ‘ procure. Do nothing half way, but make up your mind to give them the best eare for the first ten weeks of their ‘ existence; after that they will take care of themselves. The following advice from the Admerican Poultry Yard is excellent and should be closely followed: ““In some cases even the best of care fails to secure a good number of young tuakeys. Before they have fully feathered up they are the tenderest of birds, but when they have put on a full dress of feathers, nothing is more hardy or less liable to disease or disorder. As young turkeys, like young guineas, make such rapid growth of feathers when young, they require constant care and food in fair quantities and often, to enable them to withstand the great strains on their systems, and not supplying them fully at that stage of growth is what causes so many to drop off suddenly from no apparent cause. Boiled eggs, chopped fine, no doubt makes a good food for turkeys to commence with, but it is not at all necessary. One of the most successful breeders of turkeys we know of never fed a erumb of boiled egg, but commences with stale bread-crumbs, slightly mixed with new, fresh milk, giving them five or more feeds daily, but only in such quantities as they would eat up clean at every feed. Onion tops or lettuce, chopped up fine and mixed with their food, was given, ‘while an occasional sea,soning of red cayenne pesper was supplied. They ‘were treated to sweet milk for drinking purposes, and when-they got some little ia%e cottage cheese was liberally sup- | g\ied, and they are very fond of it. There is as much in the careas in the feeding, and they must have the best of both to induce them to stay with us. Dampness and dew are fatal to young turkeys; the remedy suggests itself in a preventive.”” . -

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. IT 18 impossible for house plants to do well 'if the earth about them remains wet for any considerable length of time—say two days. Plants need fresh water the same as individuals. Let the earth be so porous and the drainage so' complete that the ?lant-s will need watering daily.—Rural New Yorker. : THE remains of pickled tongue are very nice intermixed and placed in a pan and pressed, when they will turn out resembling collared meat. A little thick jelly may be poured into the pan with them. Slices of cold tongue may be warmed into any kind of savory sauce and laid in a pile in the center of a dish, the sauce being poured over them.

SpANISH CusTArD.—lf your family number six, take eight. yelks of eggs, eight teaspoonfuls of sugar, beaten very light, adding flavor if you like; put over a slow fire. stirring all the time until quite thick; then have small saucers either of glass or china and pour some on each saucer; to be served in this way cold; powdered almonds are very delicious on it. : SEED COrN.—lf any one’s last crop of corn was not of as good quality as desirable, and a neighbor or distant friend has some better sort, make it a bnsiness to get some of it for seed now, and have it ready when the day of planting comes. In selecting, note the time of ripening, size and number of ears on stalk, size of stalk, quality of the grain and all other important points. : PumpPklN Sour.—-For six persons, use three pounds of pumpkin; take oft the rind, cut in pieces and put it in a saucepan with a little salt, and cover with water; let it boil until it is soft—say twenty minutes—and pass through a colander: it must have no water in it; put about three pints of milk in a casserole, add the strained pumpkin and let it come to a boil; add a very little white sugar, some salt and pepper; no butttr is used. CrEAM PUurrs.—To one quart boiling water add three-quarters of a pound flour and three-quarters of a pound butter; when nearly cold add ten eggs, well beaten, and one-half teaspoonful of soda; drop on buttered tin pans, several inches apart, and bake in quick oven. Custard for the puffs—One quart of milk, four eggs, two cups sugar, one cup flour; cook until well done; flavor to taste; when cold split puffs and fill with cream. Smaller quantities may be used in either receipt than here given. ‘ - CARROTS having a greater tendency to decay than many roots, should never be stored in great bulk, but placed in small heaps only, and kept at as low a temperature as possible above the freez ing point. On the approach of warm weather they incline to sprout if left in bulk; hence, when it is desired to preserve them longer, the crown ought to be cut off and the roots spread in a cool, dry place. Horses thrive on carrots given judiciously with other feed; they are also excellent for working cat-tle.-—Chicago Times. :

Feeding Stock Horses. THE horse is the principal motive power on the farm, and therefore needs the best attention. This class of stock is kept wholly for its muscle, and the working and culture of the farm must depend greatly upon the character and condition of the horses. The winter season is one of comparative leisure for horses, as farms are usually managed, and farmers appear to think horses require little attention when they are not in hard labor. They are quite in the habit of keeping. them upon poor hay and straw at this season, reserving all grain for spring feeding. But this is very bad policy. Horses generally come to winter quarters in thin condition from their summer’s labor, and require judicious feeding and good care to recover their full working capacity; and farmers should remember that it is much cheaper to put horses in condition when work is very light, and that all the extra flesh put on in winter represents so much extra labor available in spring. Besides it should always be the aim of team-owners to keep their horses in good working condition, for it takes less food to keep up condition than to recover it when lost. Let us examine a few rations for work horses in winter. Horses are often subject to colic from improper feeding. When fed upon corn-meal alone, its large percentage of starch renders it too heating, anﬁ, besides, it is a very concentrateg food, and being just moistened with saliva so as to be swallowed, it goes into the stomach in the compact form of dough, and the gastric juice cannot circulate through it so aspropérly to perform its office, and internal heat, fever and colic often occur from want of proper digestion. All such concentrateg food should be mixed with cut hay, the hay being just moistened so that the meal will adhetre to it. This mixes the concentrated with the bulky food, and the hay separates the particles of meal so as to render the mixture porous and the gastric juice now circulates freely through the mass and operates upon the whole contents of the stomach at once. The best way to use corn-meal as a single -grain food, is to mix it. with moistened clover hay. If the clover is of good quality, it contains a larger per centage of albuminoids (muscle-forming foo%) than corn-meal, and thus helps to balanze the constituents. g _

Butone of the best rations for work horses is corn, oats and flaxseed, ground together--the corn and oats in equal weight, and to nineteen bushels of the mixture of corn and oats-add one. bushel of flaxseed, and gx‘ind fine, all ;to%ether. The corn and oats make a well-balanced ration, and the flaxseed is rich in oil, muscle-forming and bonebuilding elements; but its oil is its greatest sanitary element. This small Eroport;ion of oil is just sufficient to eep the bowels in excellent condition, the coat sleek, and every part of the system in well-balanced activity. And then by feeding this ground mixture with twice its bulk o%rmoistened eut hay you have as perfect a ration for work horses as can be compounded. All regular grist-mills now have an apparatus for mixing different grains together, so that the farmer has only to

carry, the oats, corn, or flaxseed in proper quantity to mill, and they will all be mixed without hand labor. If the farmer has no straw-cutter he may use oats or wheat chaff to mix with the meal to render it porous. In wintering horses that are doin but little wori, ‘straw may be fed WitE the last ration and the horses will do well. From eight to ten pounds of this meal to each horse daily will brin them through finely, even on g’oog straw. When oats are too expensive, cornmeal and wheat bran mixed in equal weights, with one pint of oatmeal to each horse, will give a good result. 1f hag* is scarce, two pounds of decorticated cotton-seed meal, four pounds of cornmeal, four - pounds of bran and straw will winter horses well. But there should always be a variety in the food. If the farmer has clover Kay and straw, these should be mixed together—better if both be cut before mixing, but they may be mixed in the manger without cutting.—E W. Stewart, in Rural New Yorker. ————————— —The two important events in the life of man are when he examines his upper lip and sees the hair coming, and when he examines the top of his head and sees the hair going.
