An Unwilling Tourist.

A German paper tells an anecdotep
associated with the capture OF Varna,
In Turkey, which illustrates the des-
potic power of the Russian Govern
ment, and the rough and ready style
in which Russian officials punish criti-
cism,, One of the heroes OF the anec-
dote was a Warsaw merchant. a Ger
man. who ventured in a coffee-house
to doubt the correctness of the report
announcing that the Russians had
taken Varna:
The following morning an official
handed him a summons to appear be-
fore the Grand Duke Constantine I'M
mediately.
What offence have l committed7i
asked the frightened merchant.
THAT you will soon learn, was the
laconic answer.
The merchant put onhis best clothes,
and promptly appeared at the palace,
where he was received by the grand
duke himself with the harsh words:
$50 you do not believe that the en-
peror's troops have taken Varnal
What do you know of the affair that
you venture to express your doubt i
such a manner"
your imperial highness, | know
nothing at all stammered the mer-
chant II only thought So"
you must learn to think correctly"
81 did not mean it wrongly"
II quite believe that. Nevertheless,
that you may carefully consider your
words before you speak, I will give
O a little lesson. At this moment q
courier leaves for Varna; you will ac-
company him, and convince yourself
of the truth of the news"
Prayers awaited nothing. The poor
merchant, without taking farewell OF
his family, was compelled, just as he
stood, to ascend the courier's "kibIt-
ka," and proceed with him.
Night and day they travelled, until
at last Varna was reached. Now the
courier, who, duringthe whole journey,
had not spoken q single word, said,-
THAT is Varna. Be.good enoughto
inquire as to the authenticity OF our
proclamation
"There is no need for me to do
that" stammered the merchant; "the
uniform of the Russian troops is we'll
known to me-"
"Well, then, your presence here is no
longer necessary. In a quarter OF an
hour another courier returns to War
saw. You VIII join him, and on your.
arrival there you will make your re-
port to the Grand Duke"
The return journey was Begin pune
tually at tbs time stated. Constan-
tine received the unwilling tourist"
with a hearty laugh, and said,-
"Now go again to the coffee-house
where you SO openly expressed your
doubt about the capture OF Tarna,
and tell the guests there assembled
thatyou actually found the Russians
in possession"

Neatness in IN

A woman may be handsome or re-
markedly attractive in various ways,
but if she is not personally neat, she
cannot hope do win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern.
A young woman with her hair always
in disorder, and her clothes hanging
about her as If suspended from a prop,
is always repulsive. Slatterni is written
on her person from the crown of her
head to the soles other feet, and if she
wins a husband, he will turn out, In all
probability, either an idle fool or a
drunken ruffian. The bringing up Of
daughters to be able to work, talk and
act like honest, sensible young women,
is the special task of all mothers, and
in the industrial ranks there is i'm
posed, also, the prime obligation of
learning to respect household workfor
it's own sake, and the comfort and
happiness it will bring in the future.
Homework is a drudgery, but it must
be done by somebody, and had better
be well than i'll done.-Home Compan-
ion.

The Girls Still Battle.

Long Branch Letter to the Philadelphia
Bathing is moregenerally the go this
season than it has been for three OF
four Summers, and the girls who in
aslse " It ere rot fast either, though
they are bright and hearty. At oneof
the hotels half q dozen young ladies
from a Philadelphia seminary have
formed a swimming club. They wear
a costume, or rather uniform, of sea-
green flannel, edged with lace. Their
stockings are ofsilk, sea-green too, and
striped with black, A big black star
is embroidered on each bosom. They
do not wear slippers. Altogether the
costume is very neat, quiet and becom-
ing. The young ladies are completely
at home in the sea.
One of them. q charming brunette,
with big black melting eyes, creates a
sensation now and then by swimming
way out beyond the breakers. The
bathing master accompanies her OF q
new sort OF rowing machine that looks
like two big cigars joined together by
a plank. She amuses herself occasion
ally by climbing up on one of the CT
CARS and taking a ssheader" into the
deep sea. The feat was accompanied
by so much violence tae other day
that the cigars careened and the
bathing master was tumbled into the
water. The crowd that the girls ma
tatorial exhibitions always gather
had a double sensation for a moment.
But the cigars righted themselves and
the young man climbed back into the
sent. The girl climbed up too and sat
show he made in his dripping clothes
until he a moved to Gilt her, head
over heels, into the waves again. She
bobbed up all right, beautiful as
a mermaid, and dashed him with
spray while she nonchalantly
dreaded water. OF course she is the
star o fthe club. But all the girls are
expert swimmers. They wouldn't run
from a wave as big as a ship, and they
don't shrek like a Choctaw Indian
when a little bit offoam runs overtheir
dainty toes. They belong to the anti
esthetic set. They are sworn foes OF
nerves, Mysteries and cosmetics. Their
eyes are clear and bright with high
health, and their round cheeks, inno-
cent Of rouge andpowder, are as brown
as the sea-wet sands. Recently, a
Princeton College man., d brother OF
N Of the girls, camedown. Hedidn't
have much faith in the clubs grit, I
fancy. He is a great athlete andswim-
mer himself, and rather vain of his ac-
complisnments. Presenting on his re-
lationship, he ndertookto guy the
club. Led by his own sister, the club
sailed for him Ell masse, and the maui
ing and ducking that Princeton yonth
got viii be likely to serve him as D
memory for many a Summer.

From the American Agriculturist.
The most successful seeding to grass
may be done in July and August after
the grain crops are taken off. The
present season has been a bad one for
the seed sown last fan. The hard win
ter destroyed the timothy, and the
late spring has interfered greatly with
the seeding oftne clover. As a rule, it
may be said that summer seeding is
more successful than fall and spring
seeding, but the ground must be thor
oughly well prepared. The whole Sc
cret lies ia this preparation. Thefo fol-
loving plan has been found excellent
The stubble is well plowed, not more
thanfour inches deep, and Immediately
narrowed in a thorough manner.
There are several new implements
which do this work in the best man
ner, puiverizing the soil, Ieveling the
surface and smoothing it, so as to
get the land in the most perfect on
dition for the seed. After all this has
been done, and the furrow marks OBJ
liberated, the seed is sownand the sur.
face immediately rolled. Ifthisis done
in July nothing more isrequired. III it
Is left later 1t will be desirable to SOW
turnip seed at the rate Of one pound

Strawberries.

There has been q bOuntuul crop this
year, and nearly all Of the larger cities
have been amply supplied. In the
flush OF the season they have been so
plenty that the price scarcely justified
picking and marketing. 1t is probable
not sufficient arrangements were made
for shipping the surplus to deficient
points. There are a plenty OF such
places. The smaller towns are yet
poorly supplied, and, in many
cases, none are to be had. The great
farming population is not yet one
third supplied with this most delicious
of all fruits. 1t is q gross neglect on
their part. They are easily raised,
and it takes but a small patch to sup
ply a large family with a healthy APP
petite. AS an idea of the dimensions
OF a strawberry bed, we notice that
Mr.. E. II. Calkins, OF the Burlington
Hawkeye, rejoices over a daily supply
OF three quarts ofiascious berriesfrom
a bed eighteen feet square.
The spring season is the best timeto
set out a new bed of plants. But at
that time, we know from long expert
ence, that farmers with the crowding
spring work have no time for attend
ing to the garden; or, for that matter,
any of the lesser duties of the farm and
household, which really in the aggre-
gate contribute more to the real COM
fort of life than a thousand acres of
wheat, or double that amount of
corn. .. All
But now is the time forthe busy man
to set out strawberry plants. They
do very well any time in July and
August. The sooner now, the better.
But in hot weather great car must be
exercised. In fact, this is the main
element Of success, and is all inn
portant at any time. If plants can be
had near at hand, which Is now gener-
ally the case, they should be taken UP
carefully with a large lump of dirt to
each plant, and set out without disturb
ing or exposing the roots. Too many
failures are madeby settingout plants
in hot weather with roots stripped
bare and then drenched with water.
The soil dries and bakes about the
plant and death is inevitable.
Then the farmer becomes discourag-
ed and disguised at what be considers
the great difficulty in raising straw
berries. But have your wits about
you, and 90 at the work sensibly,
studying the nature of plant life and
growth. Some men act as though they
thought that cabbage, tomato or
strawberry plants could be driven in
to any kind of unprepared soil, like a
stake and then go away and not look
after them until the time when he ex
poets a crop,
We want to see the time when all OF
our farm houses viii be amply supplied
with all of the small fruits which can
be successfully grown in Iowa. But
this will not be until q large amount
OF missionary work IS done. But that
farmer who has not q strawberry bed,
we ask that all of the influences of the
household be now brought to bear on
him to commence this month, and
commence right. Iustnow newplants
are forming on the runners, and by
the time you are aroused to action by
this notice they viii be just right for
transplanting.-Des. MONIES Register,

and then somewhat lower, quotations for
the more active stocks. Lackawanna, North
ern and Pacific Mail were the exceptions, by
selling lower than at the opening and they
did not fully recover the losses before the
close, but in the last hour the general list
rose to about the highest prices Of the day,
with the exceptions indicated, and of Lake
Shore, which was heavy most OF the AFTER
noon. The total business of the day was
larger, with one exception (Tuesday), than
on any day since May 25. The street is grow
ing day by day more fully to believe that
some of the leading operators who have been
on the bear side of the market
for long time past, including
the Cammack-W Woerishoffer combination,
are now actively buying stocks, and it is
claimed that after they secure their line or
stocks 1T is reasonable to believe there will be
much better chance to settle the difficulties
between West Shore and New York Central,
which would in turn lead to further buying
movement, as the railroad fight is the most
serious obstacle to a general bull campaign
Leading brokers say the program seems to be
to advance, the dividend-paying securities
first and the others later. The closing prices
this evening are generally from % to q
higher than they closed yesterday, the
GREATEST GAIN
among active stocks being made by New
York Central and New Jersey Central. There
were many orders in the market this morning
to buy the Vanderbilt stocks. Western
Union, Missouri Pacific and Manhattan
Consolidated sold this afternoon, ex-dividend.
Among the less active shares the feature OF
the day was the advance in Manitoba, which
made a net gain of 4 % per cent. There was no
well-detined reason for this sudden advance,
although it was stated to be due in great
measure to an attempt by prominent room
trader to cover his short account. Omaha
preferred is also up IL. There was increased
activity in Canadian Pacific, on reports that
the Canadian government would buy S9,OO0,-
00O worth of its land, which would be suffi-
cient to enable the company to complete the
road. The stock this evening shows gain of
Is per cent. Comparing prices this evening
with those of week ago, nearly everything
on the list is higher, the exceptions
being Lackawanna, Union Pacific and Mis-
