were going to marry Mr. Sharp"
Il never wrote it How lucky did not

ment more the two lovers were in each
others arms.
"But about the letter." said Alice.
"Where did that come from?'
ut Is enough for me that 1t effected our

swered George.
Miss laxative had stood by, happy
spectator, but now her practical sense
showed itself, and she said:
! you have both been deceived. undoubt-
edly, by that man Sharp Why should not
Mr.. Jamison take his place In the ceremony

This led to more explanations, and
George almost tainted when he realized
that Sharp had been so nearly successful.
But he did take Sharp's place in the cere
mony, and that gentleman has never been
seen by either George or Alice from that
day to this.

anonymous letter, but never ceases to con-
graduate herself on her lucky curiosity.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

Some old gardeners claim that
cucumber vines will bear better if they
are topped.
Arrange to raise not only good
variety, but also full supply of fruit
and vegetables to use during the sea-
son and to store for the winter.
The snails may give you consider
able trouble when the roses start into
growth. but by placing cabbage leaves
among the plants they may be readily
captured, as they will collect thereon,
and can then be destroyed.
There is no more durable wood
than the Usage orange, and all poles
from old neglected hedges should be
saved for grape, bean and other
stakes, according to correspondent
of Orchard and Garden, who thinks it
would pay to grow the Usage for such
purposes.
Perhaps there are just as many
farmers who think that COW having
the run of a fair pasture in summer is
we'll fed as there are who believe that
dry hay in winter is liberal ration.
Whatever the proportionate numbers
may be the mistake is about as great
in one case as in the other.
Smoky chimneys" are often
caused by being located on low por-
tions of the building. II adjoining
roofs are as high or higher than the
chimney, currents passing over are
apt to descend. One or two feet added
to the height of such chimney by
pipe or brick will in most cases remove
the difficulty.
Pineapple Cream. Soak one ounce
of gelatine in water until dissolved;
whip one pint of sweet cream to a stiff
froth. Cut the pineapple fine, boil
with one-half pound of pulverized
sugar, strain through a colander, add
the dissolved gelatine, set on ice, and
when it thickens, stir until smooth,
then add the whipped cream and mold.
Boston Budget.
Press the garden seeds firmly in
the earth with the foot so that they
will be brought into close contact with
the dirt, and they will be sure to
grow, whether the season be wet or
dry. They will commence their
| growth at once and will be much ear
lier, and have stronger. more vigor-
Gus growth than seeds that have been
left loose in the ground. Western

The great danger of American
agriculture is the loss of fertility-too
much cropping, too little manure.
Thus our soils become barren and oul
crops meager. What we most need
and must have is more fertilizers, an6
the cheapest and by far the best fol
most of our farms is barnyard manure

win in the race. With ensilage properly
put up we can increase our stock one
half; many say the stock can b.
doubled. II this is so we score on,
and tremendou us one for ensilage

double the fertility, and double TIL
