THE Princes Little Sweetheart"

An acquaintance of Mrs. Helen Jack
son, writing in the Overland Monthly,
says: 1.-The Princes Little Sweet
heart, one OF the last sketches from
her pen, published in the May number
OF the Century, was a fanciful little
tale, which provoked widespread COM
ment and discussion. oddly enough,
It's readers were everywhere divided
INTO two distinct classes-one regard
ing it as an absurd and unmeanlng
fable, the other reading deep mean
ing In the quaint story, whose simple
pathos went to their hearts. As
started to leave her after an afternoon
call one day early in July, the story
somehow came into my mind, and l
said, a little awkwardly: oh, by the
way, Mrs. Jackson That story OF
yours IN the May Century. | wanted
to tell you that l understood and
liked it. 1t seems to me to voice the
concentrated tragedy of young wife
hood 1t is the oldest thing in the
world about that story she earnestly
reioined. Il believe | have never IN
my life written anything OF which /
have heard so much. Letters have
been pouring in upon me ever since.
Some beg me to explain its meaning
and Others thank me for it. | have
Just received a letter from Miss --
mentioning a famous writer in the
East, and she declares that it is the
best thing | have ever written. Now
the truth of the whole matter is, that
story was a dream. 1t occurred after
my accident last year, and in my own
house at Colorado Springs. Idreamed
it all out, every detail, Just as | after
ward wrote 1t. And the strange part
of it was, that when l woke up saw
the little sweetheart standing before
me in her homely brown gown and
with her pitiful little face, as plainly
as | see you at this moment. But
while looked at her she faded away
and was gone. 1t was the most singu-
lar experience | overhead in nv life,'n

Our Inner Wall CnYerinps

The Record says that the great de
feet of plaster as coating to outside
walls is that, however calculated it
may appear to be to resist wet, it is
really porous Brick and stone walls
are also porous. No one who has wit
messed the process of wetting the bricks,
a process which often precedes laying
them, can doubt that bricks absorb
much water. Hence the walls OF a
house are permeable to outside mois-
ture, and it has become usual, in or
der to prevent the moisture from be-
coming evident in the interior, to line
their inner surface with strips of wood
placed at regular intervals, and COW
cred with lathing and plaster. A
freshly -plastered house is damp and
unfit for human habitation. The wa
ter mixed with the materials in max
ing plaster, plus some of the dampness
Of the walls themselves, has to be
dried out before the rooms can be in
habited with immunity from catarrh
and rheumatism. Through neglect or
ignorance of this important fact,
many lose their lives and more their
health. The house that was planned
and estimated for in two weeks is hur-
ried to completion in ten or twelve,
and tenanted at once, without allow
ing time for heat, whether artificial or
natural, to dispel moisture. 1t
is safe to say that a substan-
TALLY built old house, if the sanitary
arrangements are in good order, is a
more healthy residence than one that
is brand new. Though plaster forms
usually the greater part of the cover
ing of ceilings and walls, some OF the
surface is always covered with wood
and the quantity OF woodwork dis
played In interior Innings OF one kind
or another has largely increased with
in the last few years, to tne manifest
increase of hiding places for vermin of
six-legged kinds. 1t Is very seldom
that the woodwork of a house does
not crack and warp more or less.
The wood that forms washboards,
wainscots and closet fronts has proba-
bly, come direct from the pine forests,
is more or less green when used, and
close though it fits when 1t leaves the

if the building Is heated by furnace, ex-

Hints on Destroying Weeds.

Much of the effort in weed destruc-
ton is so widely misdirected that it is
not nearly so effective as it should be.
We often see advice to cut out plan
tain or wild carrot by hand IN mead
ows and pastures. This is well enough
where the plants are scattering, and
should always be done if it is not pos
sible or convenient to pillow the weeds
under. But cutting out by hand does
very little to clean land foul with such
pests. For every plant that appears
in meadow or pasture there are, prob
ably, a thousand seeds lying dormant
in the ground ready to grow as soon
as the soil is stirred. With hoed
crop on weed-seeded land millions Of
weeds may be destroyed by frequent
cultivation in a single season.
There are other classes of weeds
which appear in winter grain that can
also be best fought by a well-directed
use of the pillow. Red root, where the
land is thoroughly seeded with it, will
appear in such quantities that hand
pulling is impossible. We probably
cannot destroy much OF this weed
by hoed crops IN summer. We have
seen it appear by the thousands en-
land that had been we'll cultivated in
corn and potatoes during the sum
mer, and sOwn with winter wheat in
the fall, 1t is probably the nature Of
red-roOt seed not to grow until the
cool, moist weather which usually
comes Just at understanding time.
Hence the seeds brought to the sur
face during the heats of summer do
not terminate and are not destroyed.
But fall pillow this land at the proper
time for winter wheat sowing, and the
red-root will all grow where it is near
enough to the surface to terminate.
Then pillow in spring for oats or bar
ley and large share OF the red-root
seeding will be destroyed.
So far as possible orselabor should
be utilized in weed destruction. Where
much has to be done by hand labor
or hoe, it is evidence of mismanage-
ment. 1t makes farming mole ex-
pensive than it need be and in doing
this makes good farming more diff
cult. In the parable about the hus-
bandman's field in which the enemy
sowed tares, it was possibly the best
that could then be done to "let both
grow together until the harvest"
But he would scarcely now be consid-
cred a good farmer. who would know
ingly put crop on land where it was
sure to be crowded by weeds that
could not be removed except by its
own destructiOn-Ane Cultiva-

Cooking for piu.


An experiment in pig-feeding was
made last winter at the Micbigan 40
ricultural College, the object OF which
was to compare the relative values of
cooked ana uncooked meal. The
weather was extremely cold during the
experiment. Two lots of pigs we're
taken for the experiment, each lot con
slstlng OF one Essex and two Poland
Chnas: The pigs were of the same
age and breeding. Lot l WASTE meal,
consisting OF corn and oats ground in
the proportion OF two parts ofcorn to
one OF oats. The meal was placed in
pan, boiling water poured over it,
and allowed to stand from eight to
twelve hours, the pail being covered to
prevent steam escaping.
Lot was fed under the same con-
dltlons, except that cold water instead
OF hot was used in mixing the meal.
The pigs were fed at $50 A. NJ. and at
4 P. NJ, and were given all they would
consume. The Essex fattened more
rapidly than the Poland Chinas, but
these made more growth than the
Essex.
The first lot consumed, in three
months, $50 pounds of meal, and
made 1927 pounds growth, or one
pound of growth for 46 pounds meal.
The second lot, in the same time, CON
sumed l ,0O9 pounds meal, and made
PA pounds growth, or one pound of
growth for Al pounds meal. Evident
ly, IN this case, the labor of scalding
the meal was thrown away.
An experiment very similar to the
above was made on the farm of the
Ohio State University, during the
twelve weeks January 10 to April ID,
1879. In this case two lots of four
pigs each We're employed, the pigs being
all Poland Chinas. One lot, weighing
$50 pounds, was fed on dry ear corn,
and the other lot, weighing S34 pounds,
was fed on corn meal, scalded in a
barrel and allowed to ferment slightly
before being fed. Themeal was weighed
into the barrel, and fed out carefully,
giving all that would beeaten up clean,
and the ear corn was weighed at each
iced, the same care being exercised re-
speeding the quantity fed.
In this case the pigs receiving the ear
corn consumed 1891 bushels of 6S
pounds each, equivalent to 2,235
pounds OF shelled corn, at So pounds
to the bushel, and gained 351 pounds
in weight; while the pigs receiving the
scalded meal consumed 2, 695 pounds
OF meal, and gained 400 pounds in
weight. In other words the gain from
whole corn was at the rate OF one
pound OF growth for 6.37 pounds of
oh . Il 10
meal was one pound OF growth to 5.5
pounds of corn meal.
1t will be seen that the margin for
grinding is extremely small, saying
nothing OF that for cooking, since a
bushel OF corn fed in the ear made
8.79 pounds Of pork, while bushel
ground and scalded made but 1918
pounds.-F,arnl and Fireside.

To Make n Good Disinfectaut.

All authorities, believe, are agreed
in giving the preference to chlorine,
which may be evolved by mixing in a
bottle two tablespoonful of common
salt, two tablespoonful of red lead
and half wineglassiul of strong oil of
vitriol IN a quart of water. The bot
tie should be kept cool, tightly stopped
and in dark place; a little of this
fluid exposed in a saucer, sprinkled on
the floor, or soaked in sheets of old
linen and hung about the rooms, rap
idly destroys efiluvia. Green copperas
(sulphate Of from one pound, dis
solved in gallon OF water, is another
very excellent agent, and the same
may be said Of the fumes of sulphur
(sulphurous acid) for unoccupied
rooms. Chloride of lead solution is
another potent fluid; it is cheap, in
wolves very little trouble, instantan-
eous in its effect, and perfectly safe.
Indeed, any of the above will be found
to destroy "the rankest compound or
villainous smell that ever offended
nostril. ~. DOmett Stone, ". d.

CALDER FIFTY-FOUR.

- To run so stern race,
Some older man might come instead,
Through such dangerous place.
a They couldn't be spared, the boy began;
- I'm youngest Of the corps;
And so-but, say be quick, old man!

Now you are hurt" the General said;
d" There's blood here, on your breast
Go back to the rear and take my bed,
And have some needful rest
NoG muchy' said the boy, with half-hit
sheer:
81 I can't be spared no more;
Ny regiments nowhere near the rear
It's caliber filty-four."
" But where's your horse?" the General said;
'AfoOt you cannot be?'
oh, cannon ball tore off his head,
And didn't come far from me;
And bullets warbled around you bet,
zone through my right arm tore;
But I'm a horse, and colt to let!
N caliber hfty-fOur."
Z" Your parents boy?" the General said;
a. Where are they 2-dead il seems"
g Oh, they are what the world calls dead,
But come to me in dreams;
They tell me to be brave Away,
As father was before;
Then mother kisses me-but say

They'll soon be there" the Genera said;
{. Those cartridges you claim;

Away the boy, his spurs sharp set,
Across that field OF gore,
Still shouting back, IS Now dou't forget
It's Caiber fifty-four."

''No Money in Sheep?n

Five thousand sheep sold for one
dollar per head, were shorn in the fall,
yielding three pounds of wool, again
this spring yielding three and half
pounds, bringing 16l2 cents per pound.
There are four thousand spring lambs
worth one dollar per head, and will
sell for it, and the owner has an offer
OF S1.25 head for the flock, lambs
counted. This is only one among a
number of similar cases that has come
to our notice within a year, and ac-
counts for the number of those who
would buy sheep, and decreases the
number who would give them away.
With present prospects for grass,
water and price for wool, man who
cannot double his pile by the first OF
next May on six-pound ewes at a dol
lar and half a head, ought to have a
CONSERVATION appointed to look after
him.-TexaS StockmaH.
