More than any one who comes here?"
asked the daughter, holding the magnolia
again to her nose, while she glanced furtive-
" at her unsuspicious father.
swell, yes" he returned; Il can say I do.
But why isn't he here?" he added, looking
sharply around.
He is waiting for me-"
Didn't I see him dressed up in some
outrageous suit-something to match this
high-bred style of your stmake up?" asked
the father, with an amused but puzzled ex-
preston.
''1f you saw him at all during the last
hour you did"
'What is the meaning of it?'
He is to play part Of a gentlemen of
the old school in little comedy which he
has gotten up, and which is to be given at
the private theatricals Of Nine Choteau,
next week, for the benefit of the parish.
"And you and he have been rehearsing?"
"Something like that. He wanted me to
crihcise his suit and makeup, and to give
him some points, while he volunteered to
do all that he could for me in the same
direction. Our two characters are the most
important ones in the piece, and Sydney is
anxious that we shall fully sustain them.
We rehearsed alone. But, father, such an
extraordinary thing took place while we
were doing so that made up my mind to
come and tell you"
"You don't seem to have been in hurry, "
said he, looking wonderinglv at her, FOR
you have been here half an hour"
The lovely daughter hesitated moment
before replying. A very singular thing for
her to do.
HE wished me to leave him for q short
time.'

Deceptive Appearances.

She was a narrow -chested, small featured
old lady, dressed in rusty black bombazine,
with prodigious poke bonnet Of the same
sombre hue, black shawl and black cotton
gloves, all more or less the worse for wear;
and she had a thin quavering voice, and

old carpet-bag, long, steel-beaded reti
Guile, that looked quite as ancient as the
dame herself.
She had booked at the company's Office as
Mrs. McFadden, and was the third passen-
ger to enter the stage that left Brazos at
seven o'clock in the morning for Hammit
vile, a small town on the Rio Grande, some
forty miles distant, famous for the excel
lence of it's cotton lands, and a railroad that
was going to be built some day directly to the
seaboard. There was one other lady passen-
ger-atall, raw boned native Texan in faded
calico gown, a Stat sunbonnet and broken
parasol. She had light hair, bad teeth and
grimy nails, and was altogether an uninter:
esting and unprepossessing specimen OF
the gentle sex. An old gentleman, in q
high silk hat and gold bowed spectacles,
sat beside the dame in black bombazine,
while I had for my eis-a-vis the frowsy
owner of the fractured parasol. The three

The Possible Yield Of Corn.
s..... 49, 0o:ov,%;Eo 10 rroor.

From the Sclenuuc 1aImeT
If corn be planted in drills 3 1-2 feet
apart and four kernels in hill, every %
inches of drill(the method in practice at
Waushakum farm), there are $3.50 hills, or
Fl, 1892 stalks to the acre. A nine inch ear
of Waushakum corn thoroughly dried yield
ed 2,17O grains weight or OBJ of a pound of
shelled grain. If each stalk should average
but oye such ear, the harvest would be T.
613 pounds, or 1876 bushels per acre. It
would require but an average of about one
half a pound of grain per stalk to furnish a
300 bushel crop. Experimentally, in the gar
den, we have secured over 40 ounces, or
2l-2 pounds, from a single kernal planted,
so there is no end of the possibilities of the
crop. In practice however, we never real
lied over 1923 bushels per acre, while an av-
e1age crop on large areas has not exceeded
70 or 80 bushels The first effort to i'm
prove corn now, starting with satisfactory
kernels and ears, is to eliminate the barren
ness of stalks, so that each and every stalk
shall perform its duty. There is no trouble

Eastern Satire On Minnesota.

From the Scholarie N. Y. Republican.
Characteristic conversation in Minnesota:
Minnesota, don't they? "Raise wheat? who
raises wheat? No, sir, decidedly no sir. 1t
raises itself. IF we undertook to raise wheat
in this state it would run us out. There
wouldn't be any place to put our houses. "
But I've been told the grasshoppers take a
good deal oft. OF course they do. The
cussed stuff would run all over the state and
drive us out-choke US up. Those grasshop-
ers are God-send, only there amt half
enough them. " Is the wheat nice ndplump?'
Plump! Well, don't know what you call
plump wheat, but there are seventeen in
our family including the servants, and
when we want bread We just go out and
bring in kernel of wheat and bake it. "
"Do you ever soak it in water frst?" ooh,
no, that wouldn't do, it would swell little
and then we couldn't get it into our range
oven" -Schoharie Republican.

Rules For Poultry Raising.

Colman's Rural
In raising poultry or stock it should be
the aim Of everyone to keep it healthy and
improve it. You can do it very easily by
adopting some systematic rules. These
may be summed up in brief as follows:
l. Construct your houses good and warm,
SO as to avoid damp floors and afford flood
Of sunlight. Sunshine is better than med
icine.
2. Provide a dustingand scratching place
where you can bury wheat and corn, and thus
induce the fowls to take needful exercise
3. Provide yourself with some good,
healthy chickens, none to be over three or
four years old, giving one cock to every
twelve hens.
4. Give plenty Of fresh air at all times
of the year, especially in summer:
S. Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to 60 thirsty.

AdulteratiOn Of Food,


A committee of the national board of
health has investigated the statements in
regard to authorizations of food, which have
caused much anxiety, in the public mind.
They give the conclusions of great num-
Der of experts, and say that none of the
assayests produce any difnite or satisfactory
evidence as to the widespread existence Of
dangerous authorizations in this country, and
that the absence Of such evidence, in ad
dition to the results recently obtained by
several expert chemists in extensive series
of analyses of the usual articles of food in
this country, which results have been made
known to the committee, fully warrants us
in declaring that none Of our staple articles
of food or drink are SO commonly adulter-
ated as to be dangerous to health or life.
Such dangerous authorizations appear to be
mainly in the form of poisonous colors in
coloring matter, as, for instance, in confec-
tionery, and even these are rare"

"In some there is considerable culture,

Mrs. Watson, during the lifetime of her
husband, the astronomer, was his devoted
and enthusiastic assistant in all his scientific
studies and researches. She accompanied
him to China, and was there of great help to
him in his work. That his will should have
apparently sighted her has been the cause
of unpleasant comments in many journals
1t is now explained that Mrs. Watson has a
considerable property of her own, and that,
being childless, she and her husband had
long ago determined to bequeath their

HOUSE AND FARM.
The Farm.


Horace Everett, wealthy residentof Coun-
Gil Bluffs, has planted $50 bushels of wal
nuts on his 1900 acre farm, in Pottawat-
tonne county.
The beekeepers of California are advocat-
ing the cultivation of the basswoods or
linden trees for the purpose of increasing
the sources from which the honey bee may
obtain first-rate honey. The farmers of the
Eastern States consider the honey gathered
from the flower of the Eastwood
equal to that obtained from white clover
Taking the country through, wheat this
year is about 10 cents per bushel lower than
at the same date last year; corn about cents
per bushel higher; hogs IS cents per 100
pounds higher; lard 81. 10 per 100 higher;
pork $3.50 per barrel higher for January de-
livery; for early delivery the price is not so
high, as there is considerable amount Of
old stock on hand which will not be "regu-
lar after New Years, and will therefore
most likely be thrown on the market before.
Mr.. J. Twomley of Grand Forks Dakota,
can take front place in raising oats. He
has been experimenting the past year with
q new variety called the Schoene. which in
English means "beautiful"-of German
parentage, We believe. From seventeen
acres he harvested 1900 bushels, which
weighed forty eight pounds to the bushel.
The oats stood five feet high in the field,
and were remarkable for the stiffness and
brightness Of the straw and general luxuri-
nee, and would have yielded more, he says,
were it not for the fact that hail storm
