Maud Leaven worth's hope of her hus

morning dew. He lost his place, and
her earnings were insufficient to meet
their demands.

with strange futtering at her heart,

a glance and then the two women
were clasped in each others arms, for
the lady was the wife of Philip Arg
yle, the great architect, and M aud's
sister.
Only six years since Ruth lad left
her fathers house to wed poor mech
anic. Disinherited because she chose
to become the wife of man who
toiled, and bringing disgrace, in the
estimation of her father and bringing
upon their aristocratic name and
standing.
There had been no communication
betweenIthem. sRath had been thought
of as one dead, and-behold the
meeting
Maud had married rich man, had
lived in princely style, but the tickle
wheel of fortune had reversed their
positions.
Ruth Argyle's husband had be-
come one of the most famous archi-
teets of the day, and his wife, Ruth
might be. if she chose, leader in
society, while Maud Leavenworth,
who could not think of associating
with the wife of q poor mechanic,
now toiled for her daily bread, and
to her Philip Argyle's wife had come,
to engage her as seamstress for her
family.
The meeting was a scene full of sad
and tender pathos, for Ruth had no
feeling of elatlon over her own good
fortune; she was thankful for her hap
piness, but her sympathy for her sister
was profound, and she insisted upon
taking her to her own home, but Maud
would not leave Arthur.

said at parting, though It's all worse,
but | shall stay with him."
And she did bat not long, for death

had weakly and vainly tried to shake

cesses, and Maud Leavenworth was
free; but it was a sad-hearted woman
who, after the lapse Of four years, re-
turned to her fathers house.
Rsth accompanied her at the urg-
ent entreaty of her father, who had
long mourned over his unkindness to
her, and with her went her two beau
tiful children, the joy and pride of
their parents hearts, the jewels of
their household. They awakened the
tender affection of the old mans
heart, and when he came to know
Ruth's husband he was forced to &C
knowledge that worth, rather than
riches, makes the true man.

FARM NOTES.

The best site for poultry house is
an elevated one, but where that is not
at hand the ground should be spaded
or plowed, and the earth thrown to-
ward the center. A frame, say 10x12
will accommodate dozen hens and a
cock nicely. We prefer ar earthern
floor, as it is cheaper and healthier
than any other. And it should be
raised to the top OF the uuderprlming
with dry road dust, loan and sand,
and rene wed occasionally.
1t is not so much what bushel of
corn may be worth on the farm as
what it map contribute that is i'm
portant. When converted into beef,
butter, lard or pork, it is not only
more easily transported, but also more
readily salablr. In the conversion of
corn into concentrated or higher plse-
ed products, manurial matter is left
on the farm, instead of being carried
away, as would be the case OF the
corn were sold in its grain on the
farm.
Onion seed may be sown very early
in the spring, as soon as the ground
can be placed in condition TO receive

GIandered Horses.
Washington Star.

Mr.. Mickey, the agent Of the HUI
name Society, in the discharge of his
duties, has had his attention called to
me growing prevalence of the disease
known as CHAMBERS among horses in
this District. He is of the opinion
from what he has observed and learn
cd during the past year and half,
that there are quite large number of
cases in the city and district, aud says
that owners Of horses, especially those
having colds, should take immediate
steps TO have them cured. When the
animals have any complaint, especial
~ OF the nature of a running cold In
the nostrils, they are more likely to
take the CHAMBERS. 1t Is almost i'm
possible, he says, to avoid coming in
contact with horses having this dis
ease, because in many instances the
owners are not aware that the ami
mails are fiiicted with CHAMBERS. In
the worst stages yellowish matter
flows from the nostrils, but the
swelling of the glands, from which
the disease is named, can be detected
by passing the hand along the throat
of the ANIMAL. The disease, he saws,
is incurable, and the only thing to be
done is to shoot the animal This
NAV be considered rather heroic
treatment, but all men of experience
with horses would rather suffer even
the loss of q valuable animal than TO
run the risk of having the disease
communicated to other horses. The
contagious nature of this disease is
not alone confined to horses in the
same stable and feeding from adjoin-
ling boxes, but there have been in
Stances where horse coming in con
tact with a glandered horse on the
street has caught the disease. This Is
especially true of q horse which has a
ruRning cold in the head. Mr.. Key
has had number of glandered horses
shot, and whenever he hears of case
/ of this kind he notifies the owners to
take measures to have the animal $50
lated, and when it is demonstrated
beyond a doubt that it has the disease
| he advises that il be killed at once.
| There were one or two cares OF this
kind among the horses used in the
work on the reservoir extension dur
ing the last spring, ard also several
in private stables. MIR. Key IS OF the
opinion that the disease is more pre-
yaIeut in the northwestern portion OF
the city. The actual extent of it he
does not know, but he thinks that
there may be 100 cases at present IN
the District. He finds tina. very often
horses with this disease have their
nostrils stopped up and are then sold ;
the diseased animal in this way pass
ing from one owner to another, and
ali the time spreading the contagion
Of the disease.

FARM, HOAE AND GARDEN.

Against the wooden hills it stands,
Ghost OF a dead home staring through
It's broken lights on wasted lands
Where old time haryestE grew.
Unplowed Bnsown, by scythe unshorD,
The poor torsaken farm fields lie,
Once rich and rife with golden corn
And pale green breadths Of rye,
OF healthful herb and flower bereft,
The garden plot r. housewife keeps;
Through weeds and tangle only left
The snake, its tenant, cresps.
A lilac spray, once blossom clad,
Sway bare before the empty rooms;
Beside the roofless porch a sad,
Pathetic red rose blooms
His track, in mold and dust and drouth,
On floor and hearth the squirrel leaves
And In the 1reless chimney mouth
His web the spider weayes.
The leaning barn about to fall
Resounds no more on husking ewes;
No cattle low in yard or stall
No thresher beats his sheaves.
So sad, so deari 1t seems almost
Some haunting Presence makes It's sign;
That down yon shadow lane ZONE ghost
Might drive his spectral kinel
