Patronize Home Industries.
To The Mail I have noticed a num
ber of items in your paper in regard to
trading with our business men instead
of sending our-money from home. I
claim that that this is right and as it
should be. But on the other hand,
should not our business men use the
same rule toward our farmers?
I will mention what is dame in our
butter trade. Our business men are
importing butter from California at a
price of five cents a pound higher than
our dairymen are willing to sell for
and our own goes begging lor a buyer.
In spite of the fact that our home made
article is just as good, in fact is pro
nounced better by good judges.
What would some of the same men
say if we would send off for our meat
and other necessaries? We learn from
our grocerymen, that, during the two
weeks a certain creamery was shut
down, there was a good demand for
our home dairy butter and everybody
was happy. A Subscriber.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS GANDER.
lie Was st Dcoy Fowl Noted for the Bac
rM of 111! Method.
The sad news of the death of old
"Mingo" has come to the gunners along
the line of the Old Colony rood, and if
he was only a gander he had a host of
friends, says the ltoston Globe. lie has
been at Widgeon point at the lake now
for more than thirty years and was one
of the wisest and most deceptive birds
that ever decoyed the northern wan
derer from his journey to the gtios of
the sportsmen.
Old Mingo gained his name many
years 'ago from the remark of one of
the gunners who was shooting over
him. It was about the time of the
bloody revolution in San Domingo. The
old chap was struck by a stray shot,
and the gunner picked him up and took
him into the pen with all the solicitude
of a true sportsman. There was blood
on the gunner's hands and tears in his
eyes, and from that day the old chap
was called Mingo, named after the
inland on which so much biood was be
ing spilt.
When the other decoys were unable
to entice the northern strangers from
their course, old Mingo was tried, and
he seldom if ever failed of attracting
their attention nnd gaining their good
will, for the time being at least.
Whether he had a peculiar tone to his
voice or whether he was a professional
"masher" will never be known, but his
record was second to none along the
shores of that sportsmen's paradise, and
the gunners had all the game they
wanted if Mingo could catch the atten
tion of the geese.
After his long and faithful service
old Mingo seemed to know just how to
work and when to put in his very best
efforts. His ideas of entieing the geese
seemed bused on principles which were
on a good foundation. U? seldom
failed, and the old follow has made
money for his owners and lots of sfort
for the best gunners in the county. If
there was a tenderfoot in the shooting
camp he was cautioned to look out and
not hit Mingo, but he at last feli a vic
tim to the gun of au amateur who was
somewhat excited.
Mingo was owned by Thomas Arnold,
of Xorth Abington. and Mr. Arnold
says that if a man should have offered
him two hundred dollars for the bird it
would have been no temptation to him.
Mingo was just what he wanted, and
the most knowing bird in the county.
The gunners gave Mingo a -Christian
burial, and ho now rests in a grave dug
for him near his happy hunting ground.

BRIOCWE.
How t Krilt the Soft root Cnabloaa That
' ".' -.Ware Onee Popolar. - v.
here seems to be a renewed interest
in brioches, the soft foot-cushions that
t ere once popular. I urge fbat they
arc to enjoy a revival, like many other
luxuries, and think that readers may
be glad of a rule for knitting them
which has the merit of jbeing nn oft"
tried one. The foundatldn for the foot
stool is a leather-covered disk of mill
board about nine inches in diameter;
to this the knitted stripe is Be wed, and
stuffed' with' hair.and pulled 'down to
make a deep depression by taking some
stitches through the board bottom
with carpet thread and a sailor's
needle. A large furniture button or a
short cord and tassel tied in a bow is
ewed over the gathering. The brioche,
which originally won its name from its
resemblance in the shape 'to the French
rake of that name, is knitted of double
zephyr wool in stripes, 16 of them being
narrow and 16 wide, the latter narrow
ing to a point at the center of the
cushion. Cast on 40 stitches in black
wool and knit seven rows of the narrow
stripe; then with an old gold color knit
two stitches and turn, knitting back to
the end of the row; continue to knit
l ack and forth with the old gold, tak
ing euch time two more stitches of the
black until within two stitches of the
top. Then knit down and commence
again with black, making another nar
row stripe, knitting in the two black
stitches at the top in their turn. When
the last stripe is finished it should be
ewed or knitted to the first stripe.
These directions are contributed by a
knitter who has had an experience of
over sixty-five years, and they ought to
be reliable. But I should advise anyone
who thinks them complicated to cut a
pattern of the wide or gored stripe, mak
ing the top like a melon piece, and, in
knitting narrow,' by taking up two
stitches together till the shape corre
sponds with the pattern. If the brioche
is to be stuffed with down ijt must be
made with nn interlining of ticking or
stout unbleached muslin, else the fill
ing will continually be escaping in fluffy
Xarticles. Harcr's Bazar.

A PREMIUM ON HONESTY.
A Broker ForjretfaUiaaa Usdi to the
Foundation of aa "Honesty Fund.
Late one afternoon the past winter
the manager of a brokerage house in
New York was preparing to go home,
and had removed a coin from his
trousers pocket to use for car fare
when he discovered that he had left his
cuffs in the wardrobe in an adjoining
room. He placed the coin on the top of
his desk but was delayed on his return
by a clerk on a matter of business. As a
result the money remained on his desk
after bis departure. "
He remembered the circumstance,
however.when he reached his home.but
concluded that the -piece was lost.
Much to his great surprise.'though, he

reached his- office next morning. At
least a dozen persons must have seen it
lying ' there after. his clfeparturef the
night before.
The circumstance impressed him
deeply and he thought of it many
times that day while in the battle for
preference on the floor of the stock ex
change. When he started for home
that night he purposely forgot the
money, and the -next morning he was
not surprised to find it still on the desk. .
With a few strokes of his pen he made
a small sign bearing these words:
"Honesty Fund" and placed if beside
the quarter. . Business kept him on the
exchange most of that day, but when
he started for home that night lo! the
fund had grown to seventy-five cents.
It was not touched that night and the
next evening it had swelled to nearly
two dollars. He had no idea as to what
he would do with the money at the
time, but be concluded that to longer
let it remain exposed over night would
be a severe temptation to some weak
person and so he locked it up. . .
Thereafter it was under lock and
key at night, but was always exposed
during business hours, but bow it
grew! Business friends, messengers
from other houses, clerks and cus
tomers contributed to it, until at pres
ent it amounts to almost seventy-five
dollars. The disposition of the money
puzzled him for some time, but be con
cluded to give a dinner to the employes
as soon as it reached one hundred dol
lars. A Flra-Born Bag.
There are some bad bugs and worms
in the southern forests, but there are

endurance and toughness to the worm

had the fires cooled sufficiently for the
owners to make inspection of losses,

had got there first, and was already

most rigorous measures have been re

A
Fruit Growing.
.The name, "Fairview, is given this
property because, that being located as
it is, on a slight eminence, a view of all
parts of Medford and a good portion of
the valley can be had from any part of
the land. Nearly all of this land has
been cleared and has been under culti
vation for a number of years. The soil
is of an exceptionally fine quality and its
adaptability to fruit-growing has been
proven. This land will be sold upon the
Installment Flan.
Payments may be made at 1.25 per
week, $5 per month or $1 every quar
ter, or a liberal discount will be made
for all cash purchases.
' 'v The success attending fruit culture is
no longer an experiment. By direct anal
ysis the soil is found to contain all the
elements required to produce fruits from
the semi-tropical to the hardiest varie
ties. Over these favorable conditions
