room where the daily meals of the family
were eaten. The leaves of the old-fash-
ioned dinner table had been let down, and
the table itself, covered with a bright oiled
cloth, set back against the wall. The
combs had been carefully brushed with
turkey wing from the neat homemade
carpet, and Annie's workstand was drawn
up in front of the ample and blazing fire
of hickory logs which cracked cheerily in
the old-fashioned fireplace.
A bountifully piled tray of red checked
apples and plate full OF cracked walnuts
were on it, in close proximity to Annie's
coquettish work basket made of pine cones
by her own delft little hands, and daintily
lined with blue silk.
On one side of the fireplace sat Mrs.
Moore fat, fair, more than forty, and at
peace with all the world. She sat swaying
backwards and forwards at intervals in her
low rocking chair, knitting as she rocked,
and refreshing herself now and then with
a mouthful from half-eaten apple which
lay within easy reach just upon the corner
of the table; or touching in a caressing
manner with the tip of her foot sleek,
lazy looking grey cat that lay purring and
blinking ON the hearth rug before her.

long piece OF white cambria, and with her
head as busy-as her hands with trying to
contriye some clever way of incidentally
mentioning the visit, which she was now
momentarily expecting, to her mother,
without exciting the suspicion of its being
a prearranged affair. She would have
given good deal to have been able TO
say in an off-hand manner that she
wouldn't wonder if Mr. Winthrop were to
drop in, as he was in the habit of calling
occasionally on Saturday evening at about
this time. But she recollected with a
twinge of conscience how hard she had
tried to persuade the old lady to accom-
pany her husband on the promised visit to
Aunt Ruth's in spite OF her forewarnings
of coming spell of "neuralgy," which
had inundated her from venturing out
into the damp night air; and also how she
had plead headache as an excuse for not
going herself She knew that her mother
was quite sharp enough to draw her own
differences from these two facts, and the
additional one OF. her being dressed with
more than usual care to spend an evening
at home.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 29.-In the Nation
al Agricultural Congress to day, the Committee
on Agricultural Colleges reported for adoption
a resolution approving and endorsing the efforts
now being made to secure additional aid from
Congress for colleges established under the land
grant of 1862. An adverse minority report
being offered the report was tabled.
The Committee on Miscellaneous Business re-
ported resolutions declaring that the efforts of
any class to increase or decrease the value of
labor as pernicious in their influence and
against the interests of farmers; that the eight
hour law is unwise, unjust and a disturbing
element in the business of the whole country
and ought to be repealed. The resolutions were
rejected by large majority.
A lengthy report from the Committee on
Transportation was referred back for modifica-
ton, and the Congress adjourned.
