silver Coin.

The Director of the Mint has issued a
memorandum circular, showing that
when the gold value OF silver bullion Is
H. cents per ounce, standard, and the
premium on gold Il per cent, one dollar
in subsidiary silver coin and one dollar IN
currency are of the same value in gold.
For instance. silver bar which yields
81 900 when coined weighs SO3,75 ounces;
lis value in gold at ll2 cents per ounce Is
$4,000 The coinage adds S99.S0 to Its
value. and makes it represent $1,000 IN
silver coin. If silver bullion were pur-
chased at the present price, liz IL
cents per standard ounce (goId), the Is
suing rate being 1924 4l6 per standard
ounce, the profit to the government
would be IL 9-I0 cents per ounce, or
about $500 900 on SAC. 49,, 900 issued in
redemption of fractional currency. 1t is
presumed, however, that silver will
reach still lower price, owing to the in
creased production Of our mines, and TO
the fac. that Germany hav-
inc demonetized her silver CONS,
will probably throw an immense
stock Of bullion on the market, in which
event as silver decrea'es in price, the
profit to the government will increase in
PROMOTION. If the government could
buy a hundred million dollars worth of
silver bullion and com, It adding S9,9SO,-
ono TO the value by this operation, We
might get rid of hundred millions OF
our paper currency. The Secretary OF
the Treasury could pay out silver com
in such quantities as to take away the
temptation to hoard it, ms well as to de-
stroy the margin on which it is bought
and sold.

A Perseverfng Aathor.

SOME forty yerrs ago, 1t is said, lady
called upon Mr.. Longman, head OF the
publishing firm in Paternoster row, and
pleaded: Give me the subject OF a
book for which the world has need,
and will write II for you"
Mr.. Longman asked--"Are you an
authory" 81 am poet" was the reply,
" but the world does not want poems"
The publisher remarked, little du-
biously: Well, we want a good cookery
book"
"Then,' said the lady, "you advise
me TO write cookery books"
Cautiously the publisher rejoined: u
should advise you 10 do 30 II were con.
fident of your ability 10 write a good
one"
Well, years went by, and during
those years cooks and epicuTes and
housewives in all parts of England were
besieged for recipes to be forwarded 10
the address of certain lady. The lady's
own fiattering letters or persuasive
speech elected from the cooks them
selves the information required or en-
listed the cooks masters and mistresses
on her side; and :" the result Of her ex.
ertions, carried on for many years with
equal resoluteness and good temper, was
the Modern Cookery in Ali Its Branches,
published in 1845. Its author was Miss
Acton, who derived from her one 8 cal
work an adequate provision for the re
mainder Of her life. "--Chansbers' Journal

H0W I LOST MY HEART.

To tell you just how lost 1t,
Oh! that were difficult task;
How the thing got away on that autumn day
never stopped to ask.
Perhaps twas glance that did it,
A soft caress to my hair,
A close, warm grasp, or gentle clasp,
That captared II then and there.
You see, there are things you can govern,
But hearts have way of their own;
Like birds they fly, and you can't tell why
You only miss them when gone.
And why ! don't tell the story,
III the reason you really must learn,
Is, though life grew bright with rosy light,
Yet won no heart in return.
Somebody's eyes were gentle and kind,
And his voice was soft and low;
But the heart wanted was given away
Ever SO long ago.
And SO, while solace lonely life
With cat and a cup of tea,
Somebody's arm is round his wife,
And her baby is on his knee.
And the loss met with results in this.
That mine is a lonely part:
You can't for your life make loving wife
OF woman without heart.
Another head rests on the manly breast
That ] wanted to shelter me;
Some other fair face has won my place,
SO no mans wife I'll be.
But compensation's law of life,
And though trials the gods will send,
Pve no one to scold when his beefsteak's cold,
And no small stocki ngs to mend
So the love that is lost never regret
When / think what troubles might be:
When dinner Is late / smile at Fate,
And nobody storms at me.
--Harper's Bazar.

Spring Work:

As SOON as the frost has left the
ground and the soil has become settled
unless this work has been done in the
fall-the ground should be raked clear
of trash, preparatory TO spreading ma
nure and blowing or digging the beds.
Wherever the soil is sandy the earth be-
comes firm before the frost Is out; but
on all loans and other fat land the soil
always remains soft until the frost Is en-
tireIy gone. Wait, therefore, until the
earth is firm under the feet before you
commence, and then make all ready for
work.
One serious mistake with those who
have not intimately studied the nature
of soils Is, that, In their eagerness TO
have their crops early, they pillow or dig
while yet the ground Is too wet. This
should never be done until the soil Is
thoroughly friable, or will crumble
easily between the fingers. When it
will compact into FIRM mass upon
being squeezed in the hands let II
alone; for you may do mischief that can
not be repaired in years. Remember, a
lumpy garden.plat will cost you double
the labor that one will friable and disin.
tegrable and IL will be lumpy, or fria-
BILE, according as il Ii worked wet or dry.
Therefore, when ii Is right, seize the OPP
portupiiy TO get II ready for planting.
From the lawn rake all trash, OF what
soever kind-dead grass, leaves, sticks,
etc. las soon as the sod becomes firm
enough TO bear the feet; and II the sur

| a narrow roller, such as may be drawn by
one or two men. Clean off the graveled
roads and walks, Taking the surface
toward the center from each gutter,
| leaving the larger gravel along the
crown. Then finish with the roller
Thus you may have all tidy about the
place, and the sun, when II does come

Keep Ahead Of Work.

THE rigid winter has SO far overstepped
| its natural bounds that the slush and
! mud of early spring time will scarcely
have to be endured this season, for the
Frost King will probably yield his scep-
ter at once to the Flower Queen. Sum-
mer almost begins when winter leaves
of. 1t therefore behooves farmers not
to sit idly waiting for the new opening;
but to be up and doing so that they may
keep ahead of the work that may rush
upon them.
One OF the important duties lies in secur-
ing and having ready good supply Of the
very best varieties of seeds for the cereal
and vegetable crops. II Is too apt to be
the case that this matter Is neglected,
even after good resolutions have been
made, and when seed.time comes the
hurry Of work compels the using Of such
varieties as are on the premises and
which have been grown there for sue
cessive years and deteriorated greatly,
as all vegetables and grains viii under
such management; therefore there are
thousands of acres titled thoroughly
every year that produce but half what
would be yielded were better class of
seeds planted. Err
Another important matter to attend to
is the fitting up of the farm implements
and machinery. To stop the team day
to have a pillow or harrow repaired after
these implements are brought out for
use Ia damage TO any farmer amounts
ing to ten If not hundred times the
amount required to put them in good
condition before the cropping season
opens. And so this rule may apply to
all the seasons through; wagons, hay
racks, moving machines, etc.
Farm fences should be looked to now
built up and repaired so as TO make
them secure protection to the summer
crops. Here good resolutions are often
broken again, to the greatest disadvan-
tage of the husbandman. The fences
that surround the titled field are known
to be insecure, and il is determined to
fix them up before the crops become
tempting To the domestic animals bu
being behindhand little all through
the season they are neglected until the
farmer is awakened out of his lethargy
by finding his crops destroyed and his
stock injured.
The farmer who keeps ahead of his
work can always take advantage OF
whatever circumstances he may be
placed in he can use less muscular and
more brain force than his neighbor
who Is always working at disadvan-
tage by following instead of leading.
Wherever is found snug, cosy, rural
home with everything indicating wealth
and prosperity will also be found man
ager who never allows his work to get
the advantage of him, and wherever the
opposite of this Is found there is never
mistake made in asserting that there
h.. 10 al. hnIa ind
in the performance of his agricultural
labors.
The lesson is written plainly all over
the face OF the country, and In the ex-
perience ofevery husbandman, but is not
fully appreciated, and we call attention
to il earnestly at this time because the
peculiarly of the season makes 1t OF
double importance just now.-IDdtana

A GENTLEMAN had occasion TO visit
certain city of New England. He ar
rived at night, went directly to his ac-
customed hotel, and 10 bed, slept sound
ly through the night, and In the morning
discovered his watch had stopped during
the night. When he opened the door OF
his room another gentleman was taking
in his boots on the opposite side OF the
corridor; and of him our friend asked IL
he could tell him what time 1t was. To
his surprise, the gentleman took no
notice whatever Of the question. lie
asked again: "Sir. will you be good

watch has stopped" No answer. The
gentleman. without looking up, shut his
door and disappeared. AT the moment
two other gentlemen came walking to-
gether down the corridor; and Mr.. X
asked of them the same question. The
two gentlemen, without looking TO the
light or left, continued their walk with
out an answer or sign. "Well,n thought
Mr.. X, "this Is very curious" However,
he went back into his room. Presently
the bell rang for breakfast; and immedi-
ately a waiter entered the room, seized
him by the arm and began q series OF
gesticulations. Mr.. x lost his temper,
and burst forth with: "What in thunder
is the matterf" When the waiter cried
'Ohp and vanished, laughing. Mr.. x
began to think something was very
wrong, but went down to breakfast.
When he entered the sale a nnanqer,
which commonly had dozen or twenty
people at the tables, he found the hall
filled with gentlemen In black coats, all
feeding gravely, and in perfect silence.
A waiter silently beckoned him TO q
place; and, when he was seated, he said
to his neighbor "Sir, will you be kind
enough to tell me what this 10 all abouty"
No answer. The person, like Charlotte
In " Werter," went on eating bread and
