loved me you would aid me in accom-
plishing it,"
"Darlingl how can you doubt my
lover" exclaimed Clay. "But / can
not do without you"
"You must. viii marry you in
three years, and no less," and
Edith's face was very cold and proud.
The decided answer took away
Clay's breath. He had been Sin
love" before, though Edith did
not know it, and he had always been
the commander. His fiery temper
famed up, aided by his conceit.
Edith" he said, rising to his feet,
"you must either marry me in three
months, or-or we must part.
Edith also rose to her feet. The
pride came to her aid.
"And | have told you l will not
marry you for three years, aud ityou
really love me you will abide by my
answer"
For a moment he hesitated. Then
he turned on his heels and left her.
She hoped he would come back, but
ne did not, and she was too proud
to yield.
Soon it was all over Melville that
the marriage was broken off. Edith's
face was as calm as ever, and delicate
priers and gossips could wrench moth
ing from her Clay was in London.
Those were hard days for Edith,
but little by little the knowledge
forced itself upon her that Clay was
not worthy of her. And little by lit
tie the love she had had for him died
out of her heart.
Mr.. Seymour, who had taken up his
residence iu Melville, often visited
her, and she liked him to come. In
spite of being "all one color" he was
true of heart.
So a year went by, and one day,
in the very park where Clay Owen
had told her he loved her, Edith and
and Mr.. seymour, fast friends were
sitting In the distant fields they
could see the tassels of the corn, and
Edith thought, but without regret
of last year.
Mr.. Seymour was reading Tenny-
sons MAUD" to her, and she was
looking fixedly into the distance.
AS they sat thusa a footstep was
heard and without seeing Mr.. Sey-
mour, Clay Owen came towards them.
Edith, my love! | have come
back" he said,
Edith rose, cold and proud.
Il will wait three, wait thirty
years, love-
You will not be required to wait
at all; SIR" said Edith, Jelly. II will
never marry you. No! do not plead.
/ will not listen. Coz
Like a beaten hound he turned
away, and thenext month Edith read
of his approaching marriage with an
heiress.
Edith turned to Mr.. Seymour. Her
face was smiling.
"Edith!' he began.
"My friend!' she smiled
And then in a moment or two
Edith was listening with a happy
heart to a torrent of words he was
pouring forth. He was willing to
wait for her.
They are married now, and Mr..
Seymour is getting famous as law
yer, and Edith has painted some
pictures which bid fair to make her
known to the world. Edith makes
her husband dress becomingly, and
he is only to glad to obey her. Her
face is never cold now, but trans
figured with the light ofpure happi-
ness, which will never fade-Maud

Veteran Government Clerks.
from the PHILADELPHIA News.

From the Philadelphia News,
The career of a government clerk is
fairly typifed in the case of James
Eveleth, the veteran of the War De-
partment. He began working for
the United States in 1929 at $500
q year. In 1886 he.was given 81, 900
a year; in 1850, 81, 25O; a year; from
1851 to 1853 he was paid 81 500
and the next year was promoted to
81, 600. In1S64 he was given 81 800
and in 1885, on account of advanc-
ing age, was reduced to $1,000.
There he is now at about 80 years of
age, and there he will die, unless, per-
haps, he lives long enough to suffer
further reductions. Appointment
Clerk Smith, of the treasury, tells me
he has on his roll nine men over 70,
the Oldest being Hiram Pitts, born in
1902. Richard White, aged Is, has
spent fifty-two years of his life in the
department. John Lovejoy, worked
forty years in the treasury, with but
forty-one days lost time. A few Of
the old employees in the various de-
partments are virtually on the re-
tired list, by consent drawing full
pay. Two or three of them have
their salaries sent to them and do
not visit their desks once q year
There is no warrant in law for this,
but who cares?

Feathers sad Geese.

IT is printed that the annual con-
Fumption Of feathers in this country
for. bedding purposes is estimated to
amount to 100000 pounds. To

must gsye up their feathers in Il year.
The gee 7e furnishing these downy pill.

mainly in Southern Illinois, Missouri,
arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
The climate is cold enough to cause
the feathers to be fine and soft, and
not to cold to make their earea mat
ter of unprotitable labor to farmers.
Below this territory the feathers are
gully and free from down; above, the
cold Winters make geese farming I'M

To Keen Fresh Meat.

In the Winter season it is often de-
sirabIe to keep pieces of fresh meat,
especially pork, sparerib, etc, as
long as possible. Without refrig-
orator or ice-house, it may be accom-
plished very satisfactorily by allow
ing the meat to freeze hard and then
packing tightly in barrel with snow
when it can be obtained, and placing
the barrel in cold place, In this
way meat can be kept for months,
ma 50 leDgthen out the period OF
homemade fresh meat. Care must
be exercised and close watch kept
when the snow begins to thaw that
the meat does not get uncovered, as
it will in a little time become tainted.

The Atom.

The atom and it's motions, as
physicists now understand them, are
eloquently pictured by DR.. Heinrich
Hensoldt. All substances are made
up of tiny particles which cannot be
further reduced in size with
out change of properties and
breaking up into their component
atoms. These particles or groups of
atoms are melodies, and all matter
is trembling with their billions of
vibrations per second. In solids the
molecules are arranged in a certain
fixed order, and their vibration is q
limited space; in liquids they move
about in all directions, yet none can
voluntarily separate themselvesfrOm
the others; while in gases they fly
about with marvellous rapiditvi i'll all
directions. Every cubic inch of air
contains no less than twenty-one
trillions of molecules, and every
point on our skin is bombarded by
thousands of millions of them every
second. Each is so small that 300
would not extend across the width
of the smallest line the most
powerful microscope shows us.
Magnify the 1,OO0,OO0,O00,O00 di-
ameter, and each atom is the size of
our globe, each molecule is a plane
tary system, and each air bubble
from the fringe around the water in a
goblet is a wonderful galaxy. Mag
nifed 10000 trillion diameters, the
air bubble would have the dimen-
sions of our entire stellar system,
but would contain $4,000 billions of
stars, instead of the 2O,OOO,OO0 our
best telescopes can show us. If the
atoms had inhabitants with our SEN
sations quickened and shortened
1000 billion times to correspond to
their diminutiveness, each atom
would be q world, each molecule a
solar system, and the resolution OF
the atoms would give days and
years. The atom dweller would see
no more of the air bubble than we
see of our stellar universe; for,
though the air bubbles molecules
average eighty million collisions
every second, thousands and tens oil
thousands of generations of the liv-
ing being might exist before q per
ceptible alteration of their starry
armament could be recorded. Is not
our world an atom, our solar sys-
tenn o molecule, in a stellar bubble
of an unknown mightier creation?

smut in Corn.

Every farmer knows what is meant
by corn smut. 1t has been made q
study by different persons, and
among them the celebrated agricul-
turist, Henry Stewart, and the main
points which he has determined are
that this parasite-as tits considered
such by investigators-enters the
plant at the roots and from the soil;
that it is much encouraged from the
continuous growth of corn upon the
same land; that the refuse, smutty
stalks should be carefully gathered
and burned, to destroy the spores
and prevent the stocking of the soil
with them; that if permitted to go in
to the manure the parasite is thus
sown upon the land, where it is likely
to remain until a new crop is planted;
that if the smutty corn or fodder is
fed the spores will pass through the
the animal unframed and go into
the manure, and that these spores
are not likely to spread from one
field to another through the circulate
ing air. The mature smut of corn
bears a close resemblance to the ma
ture puff-ball, and we cannot see why
the spores might not be distributed
quite largely by the wind. 1t is
claimed that there are no remedies
when once it develops in corn, and
that the only successful treatment is
to cut or pull all corn that shows
signs of smut and cause it's destruc-
ton. If such a course was pursued
by all farmers smut might in process
of time be wholly eradicated.-Ger-

THE FARM.
Agricultural Notes,


At least two varieties of grain
should be given to young stock.
If an animal is worth keeping over
winter he is surely worth protecting
from the cold. If he is worth any
Iced at all, he is worth keeping on
liberal rations.
Animals to be slaughtered in early
winter win lay on two pounds of fat
before cold pinches than one pound
after that condition comes; besides,
when fat, cold will not pinch.
Make pets of your colts. Make
friends of your horses. Treat them
kindly and you will not be troubled
with unsafe and unruly horses. 1t is
but the humane way to treat them
anyway.
1t is a good plan to feed some of
the bone and muscle forming foods,
during the tattening process, what
ever the system of swine husbandry
may be, says the Western Rural.
Some people think that feeding this
class of food is wasting it. That is
nm error. If the food makes muscle
it increases the weight and what is
more it makes the valuable part OF
the hog.
There is no doubt that hogs can
be fattened quicker and with less
food if provided with good warm
houses, and the food given in
troughs. Use literally of salt and
wood ashes, cinders, refuse coal,
Stacked lime, birthstone and charcoal
about once u week, ench in small
quantities. Above all things see that
Nour hogs have untailing appetites
and are in good condition physically.
