pleasant hours we have spenttogether."
Squire Rodney had walked around
by the back of the house, and he had
come through the sitting-room so
quietly that the group on the porch
did no hear him until he stood in
their midst. The squire overheard
| Arthurs last remark, and he felt a
jealous pang at his heart as he saw the
ardent gaze with which the Young
man regarded Hazel.
The squire advanced to the side of
the young girl who had promised to
become his wife, and he said abruptly:
Hazel, now ye've served the others.
can't We think o. me little ?"
She started and her face crimsoned,
but in moment she regained her
composure. Holding out the small
basket in which she had the flowers,
she said:
Il beg your pardon; / did not see
you. You are welcome to what re-
mains"
Squire Rodney took the basket and |
looked through the leaves, trying to
find a few flowers.
There's naught here, Hazel but |
dead and withered leaves, which are
perhaps the emblems of my hopes"
Arthur and Pittacus exchanged a
sharp glance, and then Mr. CARING
ford, who pitied the young girls NOR
titication, turned to Hazel, and said:
Miss Hazel, if you'll permit me I'll
take my friend off to my room for a
talk of old times"
Certainly, though I'm sorry to lose
you" answered Hazel, who did not no
tice the scowl on the squire's face.
Arthur Carringford did not take the
slightest notice OF him, but with bow (

Squire Rodney, with weary sigh,

AN ExHoRTER IN GREAT TROUBLE
A we'll known planter in south Arkansaw,
a man who has eXhorted at more revivals
than any worker in the State, had trouble
last week. While hauling cotton along a
muddy road, one of the steers broke the
yoke and ran away. The old fellow sat
down on log and said:
'Lord, you know pretty we'll what have
done for the church, and how many priva-
tions have stood without whimper of
complaint. If you have observed me very
closely, you know never said word when
my fences were washed away, and that even
when Josh Chandler beat me in a lawsuit l
did not murmur, but now, after mature
consideration, am compelled to say some
thing. Damn that steer! think that un-
der the circumstances am excusable. Very
few men would have stood as much as [
have, especially man whose wife is in
fout half the time, so submit the question:
Don't you think that am justifiable in the
course 1 have this day taken? Here am
stuck in the mud. BY the time can get
another team the boat will be gone, and I'll
have to leave my cotton or haul it back
home. If / leave it on the bank somebody
will steal it, and if take it back home An
derson will catch it with mortgage. So,
you see, I am peculiarly situated, and am,
before any court in the world or out of it
either, justifiable in remarking, Damn that

The Rev. BILLY HIBBARD.-The Rev.
Billy Hibbard, as he was uniformly called,
was somewhat eccentric but Jealous
preacher, who labored in Columbia and
Livingston counties some forty years ago.
At meeting of conference the Bishop called
the roll of ministers names, but on calling
the name William Hibbard there was no
response, whereupon the following dialogue
occurred: ~
Bishop-Brother Hibbard, why do you
not answer to your name as called?
Mr.. Hibbard-You have not called my
name.
Bishop-What is your name, brother?
Mr.. Hibbard-Billy Hibbard.
Bishop-Why, that is the name of a little
boy.
Mr.. Hibbard-I was very little boy
when my father gave me that name.
The reply upset the gravity of the con-
ference, and an explosion oflaughter follow
ed in which the Bishop joined. Mr.. Hib-
bard at one time, in conversation with a
minister of another denomination, was
asked the following question:
"Brother Hibbard, why is it that you
have SO few doctors of divinity in your
church,"
He answered: because our divinity is
never sick"

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF PNEUMoN-
lathe following statement Of q we'll
known resident of this city may have val
ue now, when some mortality is prevalent
from pneumonia: ..-..--.--..--.
Nine years ago I had pneumonia. My
physician covered my lungs front and
back, with cotton batting, sprinkled with
spirits of turpentine enough to irritate the
surface without blistering. This was kept
in place by soft flannel over all. think
I took no medicine, but milk, chicken tea
and beef tea were constantly supplied. Still
I grew weaker. Another physician was
called for consultation, who was consider
ed the most skillful in the treatment of
lung diseases of any physician in the city
where I then was. l was told afterWard
that he said 1T was beautiful case, clear
acute pneumonia" He ordered two grains
of calomel. If it did not operate in four
hours was to take two more grains. But
it did operate as he desired, and from that
moment began to mend. Later I asked
him why he gave me calomel when it was
the lung that allied. He said: "The Gallo
mel attacked your liver and diverted the
enemies at your lung and gave it a chance
to heal. In that case, warmth, an irritat-
ed surface, abundant nourishment and two
grains of calomel were effective means for
q patient who, in three days, was reduced
to utter bodily weakness, accompanied by
mental flightiness which so often accompan-
les this disease and ends in insanity. ."-Bos-

HARD CIDER APPLE.-A fashionable So
ciety girl married man who lived in q
country town, and as she really loved her
husband she wanted to do all she Sould to
please him. One day she told him she was
going to make some nice homemade cider
for him, and when he came home she had
about two bushels of little hard applies piled
up in the kitchen.
'sWhy, Maud!" he exclaimed, when he
saw them, "what have you got there?"
"Apples, darling" she replied with asmil-
ing face.
"Where did you get them?"
"Bought them, of course, love-"
''But what did you get such hard ones
for:"
"Didn't you say you wanted me to make
some homemade cider?" she asked with
the trace of culver in her voice.
&"Yes, my dear; but these are not good
cider apples"
"Why-why," she hesitated, 'you said
you liked hard cider, and of course 1 had to
have hard apples, to make it with, didn't

Western Organ Company. ~
The Pianos I represent are in different styles,
both square and upright, full II octaves, and be-
sides having all the modern improvements OF the the
superior finish throughout, have also three
strings in the treble and are thus nearly equal
tone and power to the Concert Grand.
represent ten styles of Organs, and can suit
any purchaser as to quality and price. If you
contemplate the purchase of an instrument
either Piano or Organ-do not buy until you con-
fer with me- can suit you with either instru-
ment and will make prices satisfactory. Every
instrument fully warranted by the manutac
turers. There is no longer any excuse for paying
a fancy price for piano bearing the name OF
some old, aristocratic maker-which name is
usually the only thing to recommend it-when
you can buy one equally as good in every. respect
for half the money. Correspondence invited,
and all information cheerfully furnished.

WATERING HORSES.-Horses should new
er be kept so long without water that they
drink largely when they get it. Give it to
them often and they will neverinjure them
selves with it. Nothing is more common
than to hitch team to a wagon or ploW and
make them work half day without drop.
What man would submit to such treatment?
If team is started by seven in the morning
water should be given before ten. Even il
half an hour is consumed, more work is
done in day. The objection that horses at
work should not be loaded with water is not
valid. A horse weighing 1900 pounds won't
be much encountered by 20 pounds Of water
while the distension will give him addi-
tional strength. Every farmer knows that
when he himself undertakes to lift large
log or stone, he can do more by first initiating
himself with air, and not unfrequently he
loses button or two from his pantaloons in
the operation. Some degree of imitation of
water will add to horses strength in asim-
liar manner. In driving horse on the road
at natural gait of nine or ten miles an
hour, we have frequently had occasion to
observe that he was laboring with perspira-
ton until we let him drink freely, when he
ceased to sweat, and evidently travelled more
freely. Don't be afraid to give your horses
water; the danger is in making them alb
stain too long, in which case care is needed.

HEALTHY Cows, PURE MILK.-The
quality of the milk depends very largely on
the condition of the cow and on the charac-
ter of her food. If she is starving she can
not give rich and wholesome milk. She
cannot keep in good condition on poor feed,
or on feed in which the flesh and fat produc-
ing elements are out of proportion. Such
must have good feed in proper quantity,
and must also have clean water in abund-
ance. The milk is elaborated from the
food eaten and the water drank, and must
of necessity partake of the character OF both.
No alchemy of the cows system can make
good milk out of poor food, any more
than cider mill can turn out sound cider
from rotten apples. Aside from the intlu-
ence of breed, the quality of milk depends
solely on the quality of food and drink.
Hearty, nitrOgenOus food is required TO
produce muscle and a Gaseous matter OF
which cheese is largely composed. While
such food to some extent may be converted
into fat, it is conceded that carbonaclous or
fat and heat producing foods are never con-
verted into nitrogenous matter. The latter
must be in the food eaten and in soluble
and digestible form before it can be elabo-
rated by the organs of the cow in the casino
of the milk. The food must be free from
rank flavors and odors or they will appear
in the milk-as the flavor and odor OF on,
ions and the ferments in sour distillery ana
glucose refuse and in stagnant water.
Taints are also developed in milk by its
not being aired and cooled, by the COM
mencement of incipient decompositions
they are also absorbed from the surrounding
atmosphere. Hence it will be seen that
healthy COWS in good condition, clean, sweet
food and water, careful handling, and clean
ly surroundings are necessary for the pro-
duction and delivery of good, sound milk.

nss Quite often the easiest way to dispose
of few large stones is to dig a deep hole,
throw them in and cover deeply enough SO
that the plow will never reach them. An
underdrain should, if possible, lead into and
form this depression, which will become
the richest and earliest spot on the farm.
The stone should be covered with at least
two feet of earth, for if frosts get under the
stone it will inevitably bring them to the
surface.

APPLYING MANURE.-The method of
applying manure is subject of much dis
cussion, and has been from time immemori-
al. 1t is curious fact in agricultural prac.
tice, and even in what is called agricultural
science, that fabric built up with great
skill at one time is remorsely kicked over
at another time, a new arrangement Of the
old materials is made, and new faith wor-
shipped with equal devotion as the old one
was. Thus in regard to the use of manure
what is taught to-day was considered all
wrong 20 years ago, and what was all right
then IS all wrong now. Surface manurinlg
is now considered to be the true faith. We
forget altogether how circumstances alter
cases in agricultural practice, and how one
mans methods may be easily improper tor
another man. The simple, evident rule in
applying manure is that it should be as init
timately mixed with the soil as possible, for
it is in the soil only the process of nitrifica-
tion goes on. To plow the manure in with
lap burrows laid on edge, and from five to
six inches deep, and then to harrow across
the furrow will sink manure and soil in the
most thorough manner, and the young
plants will find food wherever the roots
go.-Neac York Times.

NoRA's BALANCE.-Lasts summer, during
the excitement owing to bank failures in
indianapolis, was watching the anxious
crowd besieging the doors of bank that
was supposed to be in danger, when over
heard the following dialogue between an
Irish woman and her husband:
"Nora, dhraw yer money out"
"An' shure, Patrick, WON'T"
''But, Nora, you must dhraw it out"
"Faith an won't dhraw me money out
at ALL"
mora, an don't yees know they'll lose
yer money for yees eff yees don't dhraw it
sOutw
"An' shure, Patrick, amt they better able
to lose it than we are 2"
Patrick was apparently overpowered with
this last astonishing and unanswerable ar
gument, and they both left the scene appa-
rently satisfied. Fortunately the bank sur
vived the pressure, and its ability to lose
Nora's balance was not practically tested.
