A ROMANCE.
THE PATHETIC STORY OF ETHELBERT's
LOVE.

mo, darling, it can never be-"
Up from the meadows that stretched
to the westward of Brierton Villa came
the sweet, soft scents of the magnolia
blossoms that were waving languidly in
the sensuous movings of an August
breeze, the smooth, broad expanse OF
lawn that lay in front of the house
being relieved and beautifed by the
vivid colors of the blush roses, glowing
red verbenas, beds of which dotted the
otherwise unbroken view.
''I shall miss him sorely," said Gladys
McMurtry, looking wistfully at the fast
disappearing form of Ethelbert O'Brien.
SIN the long, dreary days of winter,
when the sky is overcast with leaden
clouds, and the snow comes sitting down
from heaven that seems to hold for
ne only cold and cheerlessness, I shall
miss my Ethelbert-miss him sorely,
and amid bitter tears and long, desolate
hours of sadness. And yet it is better
so. Better that I should bear alone the
secret burden of my woe, burden that
can never be lifted, never be cast aside
until the icy arms of death shall be
stretched forth to welcome q storm
tossed soul that is only too anxious to
come to his embrace" and with a con-
vulsive sob the girl sank upon a prettily
made bench of strong oak limbs and was
soon sitting upon one foot, while the
other peeped coquettishly out from be-
meath the feecy folds of her soft white
dress.
But though the pretty head was laid
upon the dimpled arms, and the starry
eyes were sending forth floods of bitter
tears-tears OF repentance and SORROW
Gladys was not alone. Ethelbert had
paused where the path turned into the
roadside to pluck rose, that he might
have some memento, no matter how
fragile, of the happy hours he had spent
at Brierton Villa. Looking back as he
stood there, he had seen Gladys seat
herself upon the rustic bench, and
noticed her detection and grief. Quickly
retracing his steps he stood by her side,
and saw the lissome form convulsed
with sobs, saw that she was sitting upon
her foot in a very agony of despair.
"Do not weep, darling" he said.
making bluff to pre-empt the other
end of the bench.
Gladys looked up. Her eyes were
dim with tears, and as she placed her
other foot with languid grace upon the
unoccupied portion of the bench sweet,
loving smile illumined her face, and into
the dewy eyes there came a look of
sweet content
"Do you promise me, then ?" she
asked.
Yes" replied Ethelbert, bending
tenderly over her and trying to nip
kiss on the fly, "you shall have all the
matinee tickets you want"
Then" said the girl, taking away
her foot, nothing but death shall part

A Long Lease.

A curious case has just been decided
bv the First Chamber of Justice In
Paris. In August, 1871, the Duke OF
Choiseul caused the Opera Comique to
be built Git was then called the Comedie
Italienne), and Louis the Sixteenth
bestowed on him and his descendants
forever a box of eight seats in the thea
ter. The ChoiseuI family, now repre-
sented by the Duchess of Fitzjames
and the Due de Mariner, have always
enjoyed this right. But on January 1,
1880, M. Carvalho, now lessee OF the
Opera Comique, took possession OF the
box, and refused to allow the Duke and
Duchess to enter it, stating that the
right granted by Louis the Sixteenth
was not absolute, but was only lease,
expiring at the end of ninety nine years.
The Dutchess of Fitzjames and the
Duke de Mariner resolved to carry the
matter into court, and the verdict mas
just been given in their favor, the TIL
bunaI having decided that the box
belongs to them and their descendants
forever.

Awful Snakes in Pennsylvania.
CAPTURE OF TWENTY-FIVE FOOT SER
PENT AT BRYN MAwR.

"Oh, yes, there are plenty OF big
snakes in this neighborhood," said a
resident of Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia's
most fashionable suburb.
"The biggest snake ever killed in
this part of the country was killed the
other day. 1t was water snake, and
had been frequently seen in Pyle's dam
on Mill Greek, near the old Lower Meri-
on Baptist meeting house. Some of
the residents shot at this snake, or some
other about the same size, last year,
and once when it came near to the
shore a crowd attacked it with long
poles, and such other weapons as they
could improvise, but the monster tapped
his tail, winked cunningly at the rus
tics with his larboard eye, and in mo-
ment was out of sight. At the spot
where he went down the water was
white with foam, caused by the flashing
of his tail, and little wavelets rolled
over the surface of the lake as if an in
land storm was raging. From that time
watch was kept on the lake, but the
big water snake failed to put in an ap-
pearance until very recently.
"The Harriton Flour Mills, located
near the lake inhabited by this big
snake, are owned by the Messrs. Pyle.
The dam which supplies them with
water is about an acre in extent, and is
quite deep. The race which conveys
the water from the dam to the mill
wheel is also deep. On Monday last,
while the Pyles were at work at the
work in the mill, the wheel suddenly
began to slow up, and soon, in spite of
the heavy water, stopped altogether,
and the large gate was raised several
inches. Mr.. Pyle, ST., raised the trap
door in the floor of the mill, and de-
scended to the wheel to ascertain the
cause of the stoppage. Tangled in the
wheel, wriggling, squirming and strug
Cling, was large snake, evidently the
denizen of the dam for whom such long
watches had been kept. The millwheel
is strong one, but the struggles of the
snake for liberty and an escape from
the agony it endured were plainly weak
ening it. Mr.. Pyle seized an textbook
which was fortunately close at hand,
and plunged it into the body of the
snake, hauled it out of the wheel and
pinned it to the floor. The reptile had
evidentlyreceived severe wounds prior to
its capture, and was greatly weakened,
or probably Mr.. Pyle would not have
secured so easy victory. Long after
the capture the animal squirmed and
struggled violently, and was not finally
dispatched until young Mr.. Pyle
brought heavy fire shovel, with which
he smashed its head. While the snake
was pinned to the floor the pet cat of
the mill, moved probably by curiosity,
approached it closely, and barely es-
capped being engulfed in its wide-opened
mouth. The head of the snake died
soon after the blows of the shovel were
administered, but the body, as is usual,
it is said, with all snakes, retained life
until shutdown. When measured the
ophidian proved to be twenty feet long
and twenty-four inches in circumfer-
ence at the biggest part It was the
biggest snake ever killed in the vicinity
of RrvD Mawr "

Raising and Keeping Roots.

In the climate of the Middle States
beets, turnips and even potatoes are
stored on open ground by laying them
in rows three to five feet wide or so,
piling them equally high. A ditch is
then dug all around this pile foot or
more deep, and wide enough to cover
this heap six to twelve inches thick with
the dirt taken from it, or even more, in
a very severe climate. This ditch draws
off all moisture from settling at the bot
tom of the beets, and keeps the ground
dry. Every six feet or SO on top of tho
row of beets open holes three to four
inches in diameter, and into these stuff
wisps of straw. These keep rain and
snow out and ventilate the roots well,
which is essential to prevent their rot
ting during winter. Perhaps when put
under shed it might be necessary to
cover the beets a few inches thick with
straw or coarse hay to prevent them
from freezing, even with sprinkling of
dirt.
Roots designed to be wintered should
not be planted earlier than to have them
full-grown by the time frost sets in. If
they mature before this they begin to
dry up and lose their sweetness. If left
in the ground after rather hard frost,
this also Injuries them. They should
consequently be harvested just before
this. When the roots fully mature and
are ready to be pulled, the leaves begin
to decay and turn yellow. Turnips may
be sown in autumn in a mild climate
and will grow there all winter. But
this root is not suitable for COWS, as it
Injuries the flavor of the milk, cream and
butter, Notwithstanding all prescrip-
tions given to prevent this, or feeding
just after milking, as some say, and
others before milking. In no case have
been able to keep the turnip taste out
of the milk. Other stock may be profit
ably fed a moderate amount of turnips
morning and night. In doing this be
careful to slice them thin before feed
ing, so as to prevent the cattle from
getting choked by swallowing whole
one or coarse pieces broken up in their
mouth by taking in large one to mas
ticate. Have you ever tried, sowed
thickly in drills three feet apart or so,
Northern sweet corn, amber cane or
sorghum, cut up when well tasselled;
then dried and stored for winter fodder
These are equal to the best of hay. Rye
sown early in autumn makes excellent
winter and early spring pasture TO
stock of all kinds in mild climate,
