GERMAN AMBER SEED WHEAT.
Fifty Bushels to the Acre.

To the Editor : The farmer who
wrote to you last week about the
German Amber wheat did not state
all the facts in the case. / procured
. pint Of this wheat from the Depart
mens Of Agriculture at Washington
four years ago, and after planting it
two years ISOLATED from all other
grain, in 1882 | raised from 10 acres
in . fraction of 500 bushels of as
fine wheat as / ever saw grow. The
millers to whom / submitted samples
in two and five bushel lots pronoun-
ced it the best milling wheat they ev-
er saw and would have bought all !
had at q high price. but this I refused
az / wanted it for seed. The German
Amber is a smooth-headed fall wheat,
tillers finely, is a vigorous grower,
large strong stalks, stands up we'll,
has the largest heads 1 ever saw on
wheat and the berries are large and
fat, and in some instances have been
procured that had as high as Is grains
in them. 1t stands the winter finely
and is absolutely clear of all other
kind Of seeds. / think, and my
neighbors coincide with me, that the
German Amber wheat is the best fall
wheat that yer vas planted in this
section Of the country.

Why Bridal Couples Visit Iudepcnd-
ence Hall.

Mrs. Wilson, the superintendent
of the museum in Independence
Hall, says that her most numerous
and interesting visitors are the bridal
parties, and that every day she has
an opportunity of witnessing the
curious phases of character and sen-
timent developed by newly welded
bliss.
Yesterday pair of lovers came in
and began to look at the pictures
and examined the hundred and one
curious things in the cases. They
were evidently from the country,
the wife being a pretty little bride,
with blonde hair and sky-blue eyes.
After spending an hour in the muse
um and completing the circuit of the
room, hand in hand they stood look
ing pensively out of the back win
dow.
George" she said softly, do you
know why bridal couples come here
so much?,'
George didn't know atall, and with
a pretty little blush she leaned over
on his shoulder and whispered.

What Tripe Is.
them.

Occasionally you see a man order
ing tripe at hotel, but he always
looks hard, as though he hated him.
self and everybody else. He tries
to look as though he enjoyed it, but
he does not. Tripe is indigestible,
and looks like an India-rubber
apron for child to sit on. When it
is picked it looks like dirty clothes
put to soak, and when it is cooking
it looks as though the cook was boil
ing a dish cloth. On the table it
looks like glue, and tastes like a
piece of oil silk umbrella cover. A
stomach that is not lined with cor
rugated iron would be turned wrong
side out by the smell of tripe. A
man eating tripe at a hotel table
looks like an Arctic explorer dining
on his boots or chewing pieces of
frozen raw dog. You cannot look at
a man eating tripe but he will blush
and look as though he wanted to
apologize and convince you he is
taking it to tone up his system. A
woman never eats tripe. There is not
money enough in the world to hire
a woman to take a corner of sheet
of tripe In her teeth and try to pull
off a piece. Those who eat tripe are
men who have had their stomachs
play mean tricks on them, and they
eat tripe to get even with their stom-
achs, and then they go and take a
Turkish bath to sweat it out OF their
system. Tripe is a superstition
handed down from former genera
ton of butchers, who sold all the
meat and kept the tripe for them
selves and the dogs, but dogs of the
present day will not eat tripe. You
throw a piece OF tripe down in front
of dog, and see if he does not put
his tail between his legs and go of
and hate you. Tripe may have a
value, but it is not as food. 1t may
be good to fill into a burglar proof
safe with the cement and chilled
steel, or it might answer to use as a
breast plate in time of war, or it
would be COED to use for bumpers
between cars, or it would make a
good face for the weight of pile
driver, but when you come to SNUG
gle it into your stomach you do
wrong. Tripel Bah. A piece OF
Turkish towel cooked in axle grease
would be a pie compared with tripe.

tn f TWO FLEETS.

The sea was bright and the sea was band,
And the ii de danced in as merrily,
When sailor pushed his boat from the
sand,
And the waves kept time with his home
ly glee,
For the sailor shummed: Two fleets there
be, -
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the sombre sea-
The sea was bland and the sun was bright,
And a favoring wind blew fresh and free.
And the less'ning sail disappeared from
sight;
But the old refrain still re manned with
Which the sailor sang-"Two fleets there
be,
Aud one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the som ore sea-
The tide danced out with tae freight it
bore;
All, the tide came back soon smilingly
But the sailors boat never touched the
shore,
And | sing to myself, for cannot flee
From the haunting strain--"Two fleets
there be,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the sombre sea-
So one by one from the chilling world
The fleet sail down to the dismal lee
To the fleet where every sail is furled.
And my heart keeps time to the mystic
key,
While | drift and sing, 1.-TWO fleets there
be,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the sombre sea-"
So little while and he who sings
Shall hum no more his song. to thee;
So they who watch his sun-lit winds
Shall hear, perchance, when they cannot
The lips which sing, Two fleets there be,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves,
And ones lies under the sombre sea-"

As she concluded she was some

Listen to me. A year ago, Mrs
Maitland, reversing the general or

pie fortune"
Impossible !" calculated Val.
'Not impossible-unusual, if you
like" answered Hubert, dryly. "We
have known her for years, and she
was always awfully sweet on Vernon,
When she became her own mistress
again, she began running after him
in the old fashion, and last year
we were all staying together at some
house-she spoke out pretty plain
ly."
"How ever did you know?" asked
Val.
Because | by chance, interrupted
the interesting tete-a-tete. and guess
ed from the lady's agitation what
had taken place. When | taxed
Vernon with it afterward he could
not deny IT, butnaturally, on her ac-
count, he would think himself in
honor bound never to mention it,
for she must have been very genu-
inely ia love with him to go to such
lengths. Wasn't it awkward for
him ?" wound up Hubert. IF it
had happened to me, | should have
accepted her, for l never can refuse
a woman anything"
Val caught his hand impetuously
in hers.
''How can | thank you," she said,
the happy smiles playing again
around her lips. II was so angry,
go miserable, / did not know what
to think, and now everything is de-
lightful again. Vernon said 1 should
like you, and | do, tremendously"
Thanks, returned Hubert, laugh
ing. II am glad to be able to return
the compliment. And now don't
you think you had better make your
peace with Vernon, or you will have
a certain fair lady carrying tales to
him about the violent Irritation We
are indulging in"
A few minutes later Vernon, sit
ting alone in the library, apparently
engaged in writing letters, but with
4 preoccupied air that BODIED i'll for
his correspondence, felt two soft arms
steal about his neck, and VaPs sweet
voice said in his ear:
'Can you ever forgive me, dear,
for being such a horrid, suspicious
l was 80 wrong, so very
but l punished myself more
than any one"
Vernon's face frightened as he
drew her tenderly to him.
''You have made up your mind to
trust me in spite of appearances,
Val ?" he said.
She hid his glowing face on her
shoulder.
Il must tell you all, she whisper
ed, land don't despise me very
much, dear"
And she proceeded to recount her
with Hubert.
''Tout comprendre, vest fout par

slight smile; "but, there, / won't
tease you, dear. 1t was hardly sur
prising you were vexed and wanted
to know all, and l think / need not
ask you to keep silent on the score
Of what you have heard"
Il promise" said Val, feeling in
her newly recovered happiness that
she could pardon Mrs. Maitland all
her misdoings, since it was love for
Vernon which had promoted her to
them.
