But Martha found the invalid sitting
up in bed, crimson with excitement, and
trembling violently.
"Martha, who are these men?" she
cried. What is this story the children
are telling about Santa Claus, and papa
coming home? Martha, tell me quick.
Ralph Ralph"
He was there, holding her fast in his
arms, his kisses falling on her lips, and
her hair. Joy does not kill, and the rap
ture only made her peacefully happy in
the strong embrace she had never hoped
to feel again. The children soon learned
to love the bearded stranger, but Ellie
from the first showed a strong partially

The Farmers Life.

In few but expressive words the Louis
vile Courier-Journal pays a high trib-
ute to the occupation of farming. We
commend it to the young men who are
trying to make a map of their future
Ii a young man wants to engage in
business that will insure him in middle
life the greatest amount of leisure time.
there Is nothing more sure than farming.
Ii he has an independent turn of mind
let him be a farmer. If he wants to en-
gage 1 a healthy occupation let him till
the soil. In short, if he would be indie
pendent, let him get a spot of earth,
keep within his means, shun the lawyer,
be temperate to avoid the doctor, be
honest that he may have a clear con-
science, improve the soil so as to leave
the world better than he found it and
then, If he cannot live happily and die
content, there is no hope for him."

The Method of Roofing With Slate.

Ordinarily, roofing states are nailed to
board supports. When they get loose,
as they frequently do, they are ratified
by the wind, and if from any cause pres
sure is brought to bear upon them, they
are very liable to be broken. A Boston
architect states that for many years he
has obviated these drawbacks by inter
posing between the slate and roof
boards a layer of hydraulic cement. This
beds the slate firmly, and, at the same
time, renders the roof more nearly fire.
proof.
As concerns fre-proof roofing the mat
ter has not received the attention it de-
serves, for the roof is the most exposed
part of a building. Even ordinary
shingles may be rendered measurably
fre-proof by chemical treatment, and
metallic shingles have been tried with a
good degree of success. It would per-
haps be as well to combine with these
last the cement layer recommended for
the slate.

Good and Poor Cows.

In a paper read before the Vermont
Board of Agriculture by G.. F. Small,
the following comparison is made
Many persons think that a COW is a
COW any way. We will suppose that
there are two COWS for sale the n is
an ordinary cow and is offered for $40,
and the other, an extra COW, is offered
for S75, both of the same age, and the
first n will make on an average 125
pounds of butter in one year, and at the
price of thirty cents per pound would
amount to the sum of $35. so, and the
other COW will make $50 pounds in the
same time, which at thirty cents per
pound would be $75, double the amount
of the first. Now suppose it cost $50 a
year to keep a COW (Which [ think is a
fair estimate), it will leave only 81. so for
making and taking care of the butter,
etc, of the first named COW, whereas you
will have S45 left of the income of the
last named COW after deducting keeping.
leaving a balance in favor of the good
cow of S37. so.

1T is the worst possible policy to kill
all the best and handsomest fowls, and
save only the mean and scraggy ones to
breed from. This is precisely the way
to run out your stock /; for like tends to
breed like, and the result is that by con
tinually taking way the best birds, and
using the eggs of the poorest, your flock
Will grow poorer and poorer every sue
ceeding year. 1t would seem as though
this was too plain to be insisted upon,
but, in fact, cline upon line is needed.
1t IS the crying want of the poultry upon
the farms the country through-this
careful and intelligent selection of the
best for breeding. Nothing is lost by a
little ~self-denial to start with. The ex-
ira pound OF two of poultry flesh that
you leave on its legs, instead of sending
itnomarket, is as goodseed, and will bring
forth ten-fold and twenty-fold in your
future broods. Save your best stock for
breeding.
HE sources of fertility to the farm
are the refuse of the crops which they
bear, modified by the farm stock, and
judiciously applied by the husbandman.
There is not a vegetable matter grown
upon the farm, be it considered never
SO useless or obnoxious, but will, after
1t has served ordinary useful purposes,
lmpart fertility to the soil, and contrib
ut0 to the growth of q now roDoro4ioD
of plants, if it is iudiciously Rusbanded
and applied. There is not an animal sub
stance, be it solid, liquid, or gaseous,
be it bone, horn, hair, wool, or flesh, or
the gases which are generated by the
decomposition of these matters, but,
With like care and skill, may be convert
ed into new animal matters. To econo-
mize and apply all these fertilizing mat
tiers is the province and duty of the
husbandman.

Strange Career.

Capt. William Byrnes, once a noted
pioneer character, whose final refuge in
the lunatic asylum of California, at San
Jose, is announced by the Mercury of
the latter city. Born some fifty years
ago in Maine, but removing with his
parents In 1880 to a wild part of Mis-
souri,, he had a boyhood to which Indian
lighting was the highest i~dealization of
heroic life and unerring workmanship
tue proudest ambition. Thus schooled.
at twenty years of age he had led a
rough company into Mexico to profit by
the bounty of $50 which the Mexican
Government offered at that time for
every Apache scalp. Among his men
were a brother of the noted Kit Carson
and a former Lafitte pirate named Lans-
ing, and with such comrades at his COM
mand he establishedan Indian slaughter
ing bureau In chihuahua, and made at
least n very profitable raid upon the
hapless red cattle. A dream, however.
warned him that this business was peril
Gus to the soul, and, after a fair division
OF the hirau'e spoils thus far gained, the
bravo returned to Missouri and enlisted
with the national volunteers about to
urn their arms against his late patrons
across the Rio Grande.
As q soldier in Prices regiment he
served honorably throughout the Mexi-
can war, and upon the return of peace
went gold hunting in California in com
pany with another disbanded volunteer
named Peleg Smith, who, having been
desperately wounded in the leg during
an engagement when no surgeon vas at
hand, had coolly amputated the frac-
tured limb with his own hands. They
began mining together at Placerville,
then significantly known as Hangtown !;
but Byrnes still preferred the rifle to
implements of industry, and presently
went out against the California Indians
as a captain of a band of regulators.
In 1858 he joined Capt. Harry Loves
company, organized by the Legislature
to hunt down the notorious joaquin
Murieta's band of outlaws, and. as the
"corralllng" of the Mexican brigands
on Iulare Plains, had the distinction of
staying Joaquin himself, after an ex-
change of shots from saddle to saddle.
D~lsdalning the special reward the Leg
1slature would have conferred upon him
Tor the deed, he carried the discovered
head OF his slain foeman to San Fran
CISCO as a trophy, and exulted in the ap-
plause of the crowds beholding it. Sub
s,equently, while fighting the Piute In
dams under the last of their great
chiefs, Winnemucca, he received wounds
uniting him for further warfare. Since
then, according to all accounts, he has
led but a shattered existence, ending
now in the madhouse.

Farm GIeanings.

HE Farmers Club of Fairfield, Mich.
is of the opinion "that plaster is of lit
tie or no benefit on beech or maple lands,
rich In vegetable mold, but ON oak open
ings, either clay or sand, it is decidedly
beneficial.
HE weights of the heaviest cattle
which competed at the Birmingham
show for the butchers premiums" for

Deyon. 1875 pounds, and a Scotch OK,

AMERICAN cheese and American hams
are acknowledged by high British au-
thor1ty to be fully equal to the best En-
gl1sh. The London Grocer says that a
few years ago provision dealers would
scarcely have liked to admit the fact of
their selling American cheese to their
customers, but this state of affairs is all
changed, and the American article is
often superior to most of the English
made.
The Superintendent of the Iowa Ag-
rlcultural College farm reports the cost
OF the past seasons products upon their
farm as follows: "Wheat, eighteen
acres, average seventeen bushels /; total,
Sl53.99; cost, fifty-one and one-half
tents per bushel. Oats, fifteen acres,

Velocity of the Wind.

Prof. Stoddard, in a letter recently
delivered upon the hurricane, in Knox
county, Ohio, stated that in one town a
grove of oak trees was almost entirely
blown down. The trunk of one of these
trees was about three feet in diameter.
Assuming, however, its diameter to be
but two and a half feet, a force of 174,-
900 pounds would be required to break
it. The surface of the tree exposed to
the action of the wind was about 1000
feet, which would give.a pressure by the
wind of LAT pounds per square foot, or a
velocity of not less than III miles per
hour-which is nearly one-fourth the
initial velocity of a cannon ball. Al
lowing the height of the hurricane or
whirlwind to have been sixty feet, the
whole force exerted at one time, along
the track, vas five thousand million
pounds-or a working power equal to
more than half the steam power On the
globe.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Does it Pav to Drill wb...,

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
answers the above question as follows
In making ready for the wheat crop,
does not the farmer select the best wheat
land? Then does he not aim to have it
IN the best possible condition by scatter
ing over it an abundance of compost.
aud with the diligent use of the pillow
and harrow render it one grand mellow
garden for wheat ? With equal care and
Judgment he procures seed large and
plump and as clean as it can be made,
even though it is at the expense of time.
After so much toll, is it not wise to adopt
the best method for putting in the
grain?
IF the farmer has followed broadcast
sowing from year to year with only par
tlal success, and frequently total failure,
why not try to drill ? Certainly the past
year ought to convince a rational farmer
OF the superiority of the drill over broad
cast sowing. 1t has been a year of trial.
and the drill triumphed. In a field, the
soil of which was black loan, easily
frozen, and of course would not stand a
drought, the drill was used, and a fine
crop OF wheat cleaned, while if sown
broadcast no crop could have been ex-
pected, Judging fom similar fields sown
broadcast. Then it is a saving of seed.
One bushel of seed drilled is equal to
one and a half sown broadcast and if
the land is to be seeded down, grass seed
can be sown at the same time. Let far
mers think of this and act with wisdom.
Buy a drill if the dimes are plep5y,
otherwise hire one. But use the drill bv
all means if you would receive pay for
your toll.

Sleep ON Your Cares,

Men of business, believe me, there is
now and then a profitable venture in
doing nothing at all. In the power to
put business aside, and abiding now and
then in a perfect quiet, things sometimes
solve themselves, when we give them
that advantage, which refuse to come
clear for all u trying. We all know
how, by simply taking some perplexity
into the deepest silence this side Of
death-a good nights sleep-we can do
better sometimes hal if we sat up and
wrought at our task all night. When
Matthew Murray, of Leeds, wanted to
see his waythrough some sore perplexity
IN his inventions, and all other effort
was OF no use, he rested day and night
from all noise, and all effort a v the
effort an active man has to keep him
self quiet and then the thing he want
ed would steal in and look at him, and
light on him, and stay, as birds used to
light on h old hermits, no more afraid
of them than of the trees under which
they sat. And mothers, you may care
end toll necessarily for your little ones,
never resting a moment in your devo-
ton, and then, because you W do
quit, but enter into your very closet
with a little frock to mend, you shall
never be quite able to take the whole
sunlight and sum of your motherhood
into your heart. You will be so full of
care about the bread that perishes as to
miss the bread that cometh down from
heaven. No person in the world needs
SO much, now and then, to be still, and
open her soul only to the silence as an
earnest, energetic, wholesome-hearted
mother. This eternal activity is almost
sure to run at last in shallows.-Robert
Co1yer, IN Independent.

Liquid Excrement.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry ex-
claims :
How strangely we overlook the value
of the liquid excrement of our animals f.!
A COW under ordinary feeding furnishes
In a year 10000 pounds of solid excre-
ment, and about 5000 pounds of liquid.
The comparative money value of the
two Is but slightly in favor of the solid.
This statement has been verified as
truth, over and over again. The urine
of herbiverous animals holds nearly all
the secretions Of the body which are
capable of producing the rich nitrogen
Gus compounds so essential as forcing or
l~eaf-forming agents in the growth of
plants. The solids hold the phosphoric
acid, the lime and magnesia, which 90
to the seeds principally but the liquid,
holding nitrogen, potash and soda, is
needed In forming the stock ana leaves.
The two forms of plant nutriment should
never be separated or allowed to be vast
ed by neglect. The farmer who saves all
the urine of his animals doubles his ma
nurlal resources every year. Good sea-
soned peat is of immense service to far
mers when used as an absorbent, and
the stalls for animals should be so con-
structed as to admit of a wide passage in
the rear, with generous room for peat.
TO be used daily for the excrement.

Fainter'S DefalcatiOn = The Coolest
ScOundreI on Record.

New York april 26) Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
The regular meeting of the Directors
of the Atlantic National Bank was called
for l o'clock this afternoon. About that
hour, Mr.. fainter, Cashier, visited the
Clearing House, and, approaching Mr..
Tappan, President of the committee,
handed him the keys of the safe and
vaults of the bank, saying he wished to
deliver them up. Mr.. Tappan, very
much astonished, asked him why he did
not deliver them to the bank officers.
Mr.. fainter replied, "No I want the
clearinghouse Committee to go at once
to the bank, and examine it's affairs"
He was so perfectly cool and collected
that Mr.. Tappan did not know what to
make OF him. He inquired what the
matter Was. "Defalcation,'' was the
laconic reply. "Whose ?" asked MI.
Tappan, still more astonished. "Mine,"
was the placid answer He added, Il
will go up with the committee and assist
them to the best of my ability. I have
no intention of running away" Mr..
Tappan Immediately summoned the COM
mittee and sent them to the bank, II
Nassau street.
Meantime the Directors were holding
their meeting, and the entrance of the
committee astonished them ever more
than tile Cashiers visit did MI. Tappan.
The committee stated the object of their
coming, and the Directors listened in
blank surprise. MIR. fainter, having
hung up his overcoat and hat, announced
that he was ready to make explanations.
He was asked the amount of the defal-
cation, and he replied, "S4OO. 600
S75, 900 in gold, 1852, 900 in securities
left in the bank for safe keeping, and
the remainder securities deposited as
collateral"
"How long has this been going on ?"
was then asked.
Give years." was the reply.
"Have you anything left 2" asked one
of the Directors.
"No," answered Mr.. fainter.
"What has become it ?"
Speculation"
Mr.. Southworth, the President, was
SO affected at this disclosure that he
burst into tears. The Directors and
committee retired to a private office to
await the arrival of Mr.. Tappan, and
the Cashier going behind the desk went
on transacting business just as if moth
ing had happened. When the commit
tee learned this they characterized it as
a gross outrage. After Mr.. Tappan's
arrival, the committee, assisted by Mr..
Meigs, the National Bank Examiner, be-
gan a thorough investigation, which
lasted until a late hour this evening.
They were materially aided in their in
vestigations by the defaulting Cashier,
whose GOODNESS under the circumstances
perfectly enchanting. He moved
about here and there, looking up evil
dences of his crime, and pointing them
out with the utmost n~onchalance. The
result of their joint labors showed a de-
felt of 1904, 600, as follows Realized
assets, $549, 900; liabilities, independ-
ent of capital, $615, 600 securities left
in the bank for safe keeping, of which
the Cashier acknowledges stealing S162,-
600, leaving the deficit, as regards out
siders, approximately estimated, at
S220, 600. The capital was $500, 900, and
surplus $76, 900, making the actual de-
felt 1904, 600, of which the Cashier ac-
.knowledges having embezzled 800. 600.

THE epizootic has crossed the CONT
nent, and is now working havoc with the
business of San Francisco. Street cars
have stopped, and all the yexations and
losses that have marked the path of this
curious disease through the country are
now felt in their full force on the Pacific
coast. It is expected that the progress
of the disease viii interfere with the
transmission of news by couriers from
the seat of the Modoc war to Yreka.
