think of YOU. | must write to you and
tell YOU all that has happened since my

that we kept so merrily out there in our

you thought DIR. Jack Garcia had the
most beautiful eyes you ever saw, eN-

said he was very much in love with
me, you were right, too. But Charlie
Constant had been counting me for
some time. and he proposed that even

remember just what he said-the very
words:
Rose, you are the prettiest girl l

laughed, and said: '.Yes. if mother
and father say So" And he kissed me.
Later on. when Madame Vine was
PLAYING wonderful piece, all trills and
quavers and crashes. DIR. Jack Garcia
got me to himself in quiet corner. and
did the same thing. What he said
was:
Rose. l love you better than my life.

to be my wife some day"

heart. You know how he could look

The saying that farming is q slow

comparison with the stock watering pos
sibilities of the cities. and that it is sure
is undoubtedly true. when contrasted
with the successful ventures of specula-
ton or the investments in commerce or
manufactures. We are repeatedly told
that it is the destiny of at least nineteen
in every twenty in mercantile life to fail
at least once. However. it is believed
in MANY cases TO be withal a sweet and
profitable destiny. There are few alb
solute failures among farmers; not that
..crop failures are unknown, for they
seem to occur almost annually, and are
naturally expected. and survived with
wonderful ease. Thousands Of farmers
can figure out an absolute loss in the

sOnable to compare the mass with the
select few who control our commerce or
operate large factories? There are
leading spirits, great organizers, in ag-
riculture as well As in trade and manu-
features. vet the multitude in these lat
ter callings are laborers. toilers in
crowded quarters by day. and subject to

condition even farm laborers would not

argue this vexed question over again.

cidedly. By the sweat of his brow the
farmer does make his bread The frosts

the waters drown. the insects devour,

sower scatters the seed. not knowing
whether he will gather twenty or hum

larger crop from some unmanured sur

Nervous TWitching.
Foot's Health Monthly.

Oot 41Cd4CIl ANOHllIA
Americans arc nervous people, and
with this fact recognized, they should
watch their children with peculiar care,
especially during their school-days.
DIR. S. Weir Mitchell, in work or
nervous diseases, refers to an affection
common to children and not uncommon
inadults, to which he has given the name,
''Habit chorea.'
It consists of frequent spasnodic &C
ton of some muscle of the face or body
which causes twitching Of the evelid,
drawing of the mouth one way or anoth
er, twisting of the head, elevation of one
shoulder, etc, ETC. There is large vari-
ETY. of such movements which tend to
make the subject an object of curiosity
and laughter It is we'll called achorea
habit, because it is something of the ma
ture of st. Vitus' dance (chorea,. and oc-
ours generally in nervous organizations,
and when because Of general ill-health
the nervous system becomes debilitated
and porporitonately irritable.
In the Medical and Surgical Reporter
a physician relates his experience with
few such cases, and concludes that in
many Of them the fault may be overcome
merely by calling upon the individual to
exercise bis will-power to prevent the
movement. In this the friends and rel
atives can be of service in frequently re-
minding him to be on his guard and con-
troll himself.
The longer the habit is permitted to &"
on the more difficulty there will be in
overcoming it, especially in children
When it is evident that the movements
can be controlled by the exercises of the
will, it is important to urge them to
check themselves early, and if there is
any reason to believe that the general
health is impaired, this should also re-
ceiye due attention.

Mount Desert, Me-, a Great Sum-
Iner City of the East.

A few years ago and Mount Desert was
known only as secluded spot on the far
coast of Maine, shut out from the main
land by Frenchman's Bay and shaded by
high mountain peaks. To-day it is a
great summer city Of the east, and only
excelled by Newport. It has a most
pleasant and healthful situation on high,
dry land, with good drainage, excellent
water and all desirable appointments.
More than So 100000 have been expend-
ed in building improvements since last
summer. BY far the costliest cottage is
that now being built on the Eden street
shore by Mr.. w. S. Quincy of New York.
1t is said that the place when completed
will cost about S25O,0OO. 1t is more of
the palace than the cottage. The elegant
residence of Mrs. r. Scott of Baltimore

Provincial Ignorance i'm Grea
Cities.

To what source would the reader nat
urally attribute the following statement?
"Ofthis nation of fifty millions of people
occupying continent, from the Atlantic
tothe Pacific, its feelings, it's tendencies,
it's public opinion, there is often a less
accurate knowledge in New York than
in Oshkosh. Under the guidance of
newspapers, sometimes apparently con-
trolled by narrow ideas of local interests,
or by personal grudges, or by q growing
pride because a man they have tried to
drag down will not comfortably give UP
and disappear, the prevalent opinion Of
this community is often curiously provin-
cial and ignorant; and the New Yorker
who is complacently waiting to see the
country act upon the ideas he has &C.
cepted is startled to find the country,
with bland indifference to him, heading
steadily in an opposite direction"
It sounds very much like the reproofs
which the press of The west has often
been compelled to administer to the self
constituted organs Of New York opinion;
but it is not taken from western news

to break when Stuart made his appear
ance in the midst of tho hottest of the
fight, calling to the men to rally. He
was everywhere, with drawn sabre and
flushed face, encouraging his troops, and
under the effect of his presence the men
reformed and met the enemy sabre to
sabre. Stuart personally led the charge,
for by this time the hot blood Of the sol
der was completely aroused in him, and
for time the result seemed doubtful.
It was soon, however, decided. The
Federal force was too heavy and the
right, under the personal command of
General General Fitz Lee,
began to be shaken also. The battle had
evidently reached the turning point and
Stuart saw the desperate character of his
situation. 1t was difficult to use his ar
tillery in such a melee Of friend and foe,
and his left wing was soon in utter disOr-
der. The Federal attack had at last sue
ceeded in breaking it to pieces; the men
were scattering in every direction and
seeing Major Breathed near him Stuart
shouted: "Breathed, take command of
all the mounted men in the road and
hold it against whatever comes. If this
road is lost We are gone" The
field was scene of the widest confusion.
Federals and Confederates were darting
in every direction, and one of the former
as he darted by Stuart, fred at him and
shot him through the body.
