A Story From Paris.

Not long ago a sweet-faced girl of six
presented herself at the bureau of the
Mont de Piete in the Rue Bondy, and.
handing something to the official with
signs Of an inward struggling, said, "You
must lend me great deal Of money on
my doll; mother is very i'll. -" The pawn
broker for once was unequal to the situa-
ton. He gave the child five francs,
handed her back her doll, and called for
the next customer.

There is as much wisdom in hearing
with other peoples defects as in being
sensible of their good qualities; and we
should make the follics of others rather a
warning and an instruction to ourselves
than a subject Of mirth and mockery of
those who commit them.

1t is kindness that makes life's capa-

their cheering hucs and endows them
with their inyigorating fragrance. Wheth-
er it waits on its superiors, or ministers

equals, its work is marked with a prodi-
gality which the strictest discretion can
not blame.

Land Draining.

II our farmers generally could realize
the advantage of thorough drainage of
land it is probable that our crops would
be increased at least one-third in bulk
with the same area and cultivation. In
some States, notably in Illinois, drainage
is appreciated. There is said TO be 600
tile factories in that State, and all run
ming at their full capacity. 10 is esti-
mated, says the Rural World, that more
than $4,000 miles OF tile are turned out
by them every year, and that its effect is
TO so far increase the produotiveness Of
the soil as to almost double the value OF
the land.
This should be valuable hint TO the
farmers in other States, and especially to
those occupying the low lands OF our
coast regions.
We can scarcely be said to have any
drainage system outside OF our rice
fields, and that is OF character suitable
only to single plant. There is, indeed,
some attempt on almost every farm to con-
Vey the surplus water from the surface to
prevent flooding of growing crops; but
tile or undertaking in order to improve
the land and increase its productive quail
ties is hardly ever thought of. Even on
our Hat lands, commonly damp and often
flooded for weeks, very little effort Is ever
made at thorough drainage. Siekly short
lived orchards and vineyards often attest
the disease OF "wet feet" which must in
varlably result from permanently satu-
rated subsoil; and light, premature grain
and serials give evidence of the early ex-
haustion of the little surface soil availa-
bic to the plants.
Many farmers and gardeners doubtless
reason that foot or so OF drained sur
face is sufficient for most crops, and this
with little later planting to meet the
! dryer season will obyiate the necessity
and expense of deeper drainage-but in
telligent observation aud experience prove
to the contrary. Later planting to meet
the accommodation OF the dry season may
improve the crop somewhat, and enable
the planter to get on after fashion with
out drainage; but 1t does not speak well
for his progressive energy, or place it in
his power TO compete successfully for the
high prices of the early market.
1t should be remembered that nearly all
plants, even the apparently shallow
growing grasses, send down a portion Of
their roots TO great depth where not
prevented by standing water, and as
these go down for valuable elements OF
plant food there must be shortening in, If
not, actual poverty and failure, In their
disappointment.
Real intensive farming and gardening
cannot be done without proper draining OF
the soil, neither can the real capacity OF
the soil be determined until all obstruc-
tons are removed from the unity and con-
centration Of its elements. Compost and
commercial fertilizers may be piled upon
its surface, and scientific skill may direct
cultivation, but water-sogged subsoil
will effectually bar anything like enormi-
| tV of crOpg.

The Rural World says the prices Of
farm products are too low, much too low,
to give proper remuneration to the farm
err, after deducting present cost Of pro-
duction on the one side, and OF placing in
the hands Of the consumer upon the other;
but the toilers who must eat though they
cannot produce think them plenty high
enough. Two things we must do: Les-
sen the cost Of production and get into
cheaper and more direct communication
with tho consumer. How to do these
things are the problems which are de-
manding immediate solution. Courage.
grit and hard thinking VIII solve them.
Decreasing the cost of production belongs
to the practical side Of farming; is a part Of
our battle with nssure-and each farmer
must think out for himself the details OF
the shortest, safest and surest way to this
end. 1t must be reached and that right
speedily. The total of production is al
ready abundant il not overabundant. Let
us be satisfied to "let well enough alone"
in this direction, and instead Of increas-
ing the areas under cultivation, try by
improved methods and change OF plans 10
make what we now produce cost US less.

CHAPTER ".
EVENTS Al RAGUSA.


Meanwhile what was taking place at
Ragusa?
Madame Bathory no longer lived there.
After her sons death, BOrik and a few of
her friends had persuaded her TO shut up
the house in the Rue Marinella. At first
il seemed as though the unhappy mother
had been driven mad; and strOng-minded
though she was she had really given signs
OF arrangement that alarmed her physi-
clans. Under their advice she was re-
moved TO the little village of VIntioellO,
where a friend of her family was living.
There she would receive every attention,
but what consolation could they offer TO
the mother and the wife who had suffered
twice over in her love tor her husband and
her son?
Her old servant would not leave her,
and the house in the Rue Marinella hav-
ing been shut up, he had followed to Vim
ticellO TO become her humble and assidu-
Gus cOntidant in sorrow.
They had ceased 10 trouble them
selves about Sara TOrOnthal, and
were even unaware that the marriage
had been put off for some time. And in
fact the Young lady's health neccessltated
her keeping TO her bed. She had received
blow as unexpected rs IL was terrible
20 her. He whom she loved was dead
dead OF despair probably. And it was
his corpse they were taking to the grave at
the very moment she was leaving the
house on her way 70 her hateful we'd
ding! For ten days, that Ia till the 10th OF
July. sara was in a most alarming state.
Hor mother would not leave her. More
over, that care and attention was the last
her mother could give, for she herself had
received fatal shock.
During these long hours what thoughts
were interchanged between mother and
daughter? We can imagine, and we need
not enlarge on them. Two names were or
constant recurrence amid their sobs and
tears-One, that Of ssrcany, To be cursed,
the other, that Of Pierre, to be wept
over.
From these conversations in which Silas
TorOnthal refrained from taking part-for
he even avoided seeing his daugbter-it
resulted that Madame TOronthal made
one more appeal 10 her husband. She asked
him TO consent TO break Oh n marriage
which sara regarded only with fear and
horror.
The banker remained unmoved in bis
resolution. Had be been left 70 himself
he might perhaps have yielded, but he
was in the power Of his accomplice, more
even than may be imagined, and he re-
fused 70 listen TO his wife. The marriage
OF Sara and Sarcany was decided on, and
Il would take place az soon as the state OF
her health would allow.
IL is easy TO imagine what was sar-
Gangs irritation when this unexpected In
cident interviewed, with what ill-dissem-
bled anger he saw his game lntsrlefeu
with. and with what perslstency he at
tackled Toronthal. IL was only delay
doubtless, but the delay II prolonged
would lead 10 the collapse Of the whole
scheme on which he had arranged MS iu-
ture. And, besides, be knew that sara
felt for him nothing but insurmountaDle
aversion.

Chicory is cultivated extensively in
parts OF Europe, not for salad, but for its
roots, which are sliced. roasted and used
as an addition TO coffee. In this country,
however, chicory Is chiefly cultivated for
its leaves, which are blanchea and used
for winter salad. The plant is well suited
with soil that VIII grow carrots or pars-
SHIPS; that is. deep, rich soil, and the cul-
tivatiOn Is about the same. In fall the
roots should be dug and stored in the cell
lar, and be given few weeks rest.
When wanted for salad the roots should
be planted in pot or box OF earth, and
then be watered and set away in a warm.
dark place for the leaves TO grow and
blanch. In about two weeks 1t will be
fit for use. If there is no corner in the
cellar that is warm and dark enough, the
pot or box containing the roots may be
placed behind the kitchen stove and COW
cred with large box or pot to exclude
the light. When properly forced IL should
be about a foot long, pure yellow and

House Plants.

House plants should be potted before
the cold weather sets in, and every
farmhouse should have at least one win
dow filled with them. Some pretend that
they render the rooms in which they are
kept unhealthy, but, on the contrary, they
are conducive to health. Flowers sweet
en- the air, make a room look graceful,
give the SUMS light new charm and are
a source OF rational enjoyment.
The greatest obstacle to success in the
cultivation OF house plants in rooms
heated by furnaces or stoves is the dry
ness of the air. This may in a measure be
overcome by n table suitably constructed
and the selection OF plants best adapted
to dry atmosphere. The table should be
the length OF the window and two or three
feet wide, the boards being tongued and
grooVed. Around the edge nail a strip
inches wide, making the corners tit tight.
The table is then TO be filed with 2inches
OF clean white sand. A layer OF nice
green moss on the sand not only retains
and gives of moisture but has an elegant
effect in contrast with the brick red OF
the flower pots and the usual colors OF the
furniture.
With a table Of this kind the foliage OF
the plants can be frequently sprinkled
with water, which keeps them clean and
promote their health; the drippings and
surplus water are caught and n bsOrbed
by the sand, and the floor Of the room is
thus kept clean; the sand, indeed, ought
TO be kept constantly wet, even watered
for this purpose If necessary. The evap-
Grafton from the sand will difuse itself
among the plants and through the
room, and thus overcome, in a small de-
gree, one OF the chief obstacles TO the sue
cessful culture Of plants in rooms.
The fiowerstands In common use are al
together unfit for room, the surplus
water, dead leaves, etc, fall to the floor,
injuring the carpet and giving the room
an untidy appearance. The table above
described is free from these objections,
besides having positive advantages for
the successful growth OF plants, whic no
ordinary hOwerstRnd can possess. IL
should BIO fitted with rollers 30 facilitate
the operation Of watering aud cleaning
tho plants, and also for the purpose of
moving IL back from the window during
cold nights. Such table, supplied with
bright and fresh plants, will enliven any
room and make the long winter days,now
at hand, pass pleasantly.
