Mr.. Ben Bracy, with Mr.. Pancoast, has
received letter from a gentleman
named Williams, in which he enclosed
another letter for young lady named
Miss Lulu Pray. In his own letter he
tells Mr.. Braoy that for some time he has
been writing to the above young lady,
but has never received a letter from her
in return, though he knows her to be in
San Antonio. Williams is a perfect
stranger to Mr.. Bracy, and, therefore,
excuses his boldness in writing to him
on the plea that he imagines the young
lady has stopped with his mother. Mr..
Bracy is now in possession Of letters for
Miss Lulu Pray, who, whenever she
wishes, can have them.

Never in the history Of Kansas aud
Nebraska has there been larger or
better crop of strawberries, cherries,
mulbcmies and dwarf Juneberries
Than The present season, while The
prospects for a large yield Of apples,
pears, pums, grapes, raspberries and
blackberries are equally as promising.
Surely the fruit grower has much to
encourage him, and we look for an
increased effort from all who are en-
gagged in or propose to enter upon
the pleasant occupation Of fruit cul
ture throughout the west We are
now led 10 believe that hog and hom-
ony have had their day, and must
give way to the luscious, i.ealth-giving
fruit which our western friends are at
last SO literally planting around their
homes We are also inclined 10 smile
as we think that those few who have
looked so wise, shook their heads and
said we could not raise fruit here, are
obliged to eat crow Again let me

The Culture of Water Lilies.

There are several hardy varieties OF
water lilies which may be cultivated
with little trouble and much pleasure.
The common pond lly is a favorite
flower perhaps an the more desired
because usually it is just beyond our
reach from the edge OF the water, and
what we cannot get we think the most
of. But we have as many as we wish,
even when there is no pond around
the house to grow them IN. A pond
is the best and where there is one, or
a quiet pool in the bend OF a stream,
water lilies may be grown in abund-
ance
Where there is no natural pond,
small artificial ponds may be made by
sinking barrels in the ground and
half filing them with rich soil The
roots are planted IN this and the bar
rels kept filed with water. These
plants love the SUP and a southern
exposure should be given TO Ike tubs
The bulbs, which can be procured
Of seedsmen and some nurserymen,
are packed IN ball Of clay or mud and
dropped into the water and will quick
ly take root in the soft bottom That
is the end of il, excepting to gather
the fragrant blossoms when they APP

will be able to amply compensate him
for any sacrifice he makes. On the 9th

Chinese Burial Rites.

Owing to an ancient and wellestab
lished regard for the aanctity Of Ger
tain burial rites that have been IN
vogue among the Chinese in THEN
native land ever since the days OF
Confucius, the remains Of a wealthy
Monaghan gambler of Portland, Ore
gon. who died the other day, will not
be embalmed for shipment across the
ocean. The statement that the body
would be so preserved was the result
OF a misunderstanding Before his
death the gambler expressly instructed
some American friends that it was
his last WISH that his bones should be
returned to his native land Now,
of course, the American idea Of pre-
serving corpses for long shipment is
BY embalming, but it is not the Chi.
nese idea by a great deal, and nothing
could be more sacreligious blow at
their hottest traditions. The correct
style, according to Confucius, is to
bury the body as usual, with all the at
tendant rites and as much magnif-
cence as the estate left By the deceased
will warrant, including a sumptuous
banquet, supposed TO be for the regale-
ment OF departed spirits, but in reality
to be deyoured by tramps. After a

Good Horses Always in Demand

\ contemporary well remarks that
good horses are always salable at re
muneratiye prices. The demand for
such during the past few years has
been constantly increasing, aud bids
fair To be active for some time % come.
All the really good horses are salabie
at high prices, aud it's safe to say chat
twice as many as are available would
find a ready market. There are plenty
Of scrub horses for sale with little or
no demand for such. The demand for
that stock seems to become less and
less every year, and doubtless, were
the supply Of good horses ample the
demand for scrubs would cease to ex-
ist. The country is fun of horses.
The danger is that the country will be
50 completely drained OF good horses
that there will be a scarcity Of
good stock to breed from Breeders
should guard against this danger.
good mare for breeding is worth just
as much for that purpose as for any
other use. If mare will sell for
$500 she is none too valuable to breed
from. Such an animal may raise colts
that wiz sell for $500 each, and it
costs no more to raise a $500 colt than
a 5000 one. while the profits are far
greater. The greater the demand for
GOOD horses, and the higher the prices
the more earnest should breeders be to
secure the best stock to breed from.
The present demand for horses instead
Of draining the country Of good
breeding stock should fll it I'D with
the best brood mares. II Tribune altd
