Indian HONESTY.

One of the Indian boys at Hampton,
Virginia, did not like to take his medi-

SO much every time he took it. At first
he was pleased with this arrangement,
but one evening the nurse found that
he had made no marks on the card
where he kept a record of the number
OF times he had taken medicine. She
asked what it meant, and received an

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CHANGING SEED.

II any grain or plant is grown in local
tiles to which it is not naturally adopted,
1t will have a tendency to run out.
Changing seed in such cases is advised.
Where the summers are hot, dry seed
oats from more northerly climate will
for two or three years produce a crop
that viii be full weight. After this it
will need changing again. ,sfarrasrs
avoid the necessity for changing seed
oats and seed barley by selecting the
heaviest gram of their own growing. In
almost any crop, however poor, are some
seeds that have escaped injury, and these
produce plump, heavy grain. South

Tho San Francisco Chronicle con-

Pacific Railway Company's scheme for

Montreal to Vancouver will prove a
success. In the old days, when con-
ncctions were difficult 10 mako and
railway travel was extremely slow, the
Elan would have attracted large num-
bcrs, but now any one may lay out a

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

As peach trees produce their fruit on
the young shoots of the preceding years
growth, they require a different system Of
pruning from that employed in pruning
the apple and pear We defer pruning
the peach until after they have bloomed
or failed to bloom and set fruit in spring,
and then prunc according to circum-
stances or condition Of the trees. If the
fruit buds have been killed by cold or
otherwise SO much injured that there will
be no fruit, then we proceed to prune the
trees severely, that is, cut back or shorten
all the principal branches and small twigs
IN order TO secure a vigorous growth OF
new shoots upon which fruit buds for the
ensuing year will be produced. If the
trees bloom freely and there is promise
If "a good crop of fruit, then we prune
only sufficient to admit light and air into
the head of the tree and insure the per-
lection or ripening of the fruit. Peach
trees rarely produces full crop oftener
than every alternate season, and by TAX
ing advantage of this we do most of the
pruning late in spring of the year the
trees are barren or nearly So Pear and
apple trees produce their fruit on small
spurs or short twigs on the old wood, and
these should always be carefully preserved
in pruning the trees. When pruning is
required it may be done any time in
winter, or before the buds begin to swell
in spring. If not pruned before the sap
begins to flow, better defer it until the
trees are in full leaf in June or July

CHAPTER XIV.
WITHOUT DISGUISE,


Adele ST. Cyr recovered from her
unconscious state, and from that hour
began slowly but surely to improve
Perhaps the news of Mark Alleyne's
strange marriage, duly repeated to her
Ny her mother, might have had some
thing to do with her recovery. But
she grew gradually better.
One day she received an anonymous
letter. letter in q strange, cramped
hand, which contained these words:
MISS LAWRENCE: Arthur wynne is not
dead. He still lives, but is keeping out OF
sight for the present for purposes OF his own.
Be OF good cheer; he is living. and while
there is life there is hope.
That was all; but it was enough for
the girls heart to feed upon and nour-
ish wild, mad hope.
"He lives" she painted fiercely, a
bright crimson suffusing her pale
cheeks, and her eyes shining like stars.
He is living, and while there is life
and-hope--I will never give him up.
] Twill never relinquish the hope in my
heart of winning his love some day. I
can wait; his love is worth waiting for"
Her recovery henceforth was rapid.
She had contided everything to her
mother, and Gabrielle, too, was full of
wild hope that Adele would vet sue
coed in capturing this man, whom she
desired above all others to become her
daughters husband And then, if any,
thing came between them and the
Lawrence fortune, if any unforeseen
chance should wrest it from their grasp,
they would have the Wynne fortune to
fall back upon.
Adele entered the drawing-room one
morning to find it occupied by Sir
Arthur Stanley. She fell back with o
half uttered exclamation at sight Of
the man whom, for some inexplicable
reason, she both feared and hated,
The baronet stood smiling and bowling
before her; she was forced to advance

face with wide-open, surprised, dark
eyes.
Annoying me, Sir Arthur she re-
peated, blankly.
"I-pardon me, my lord--I do not
understand you'll"
He checked smile.
"You will remember my persistent
references to a certain danseuse, Miss
Lawrence!" he returned quickly. "My
words seemed to vex you! I feel that
my remarks, and the comparisons
which l drew between yourself and the
dancer, quite uncalled for and in bad
taste. 1t has troubled me greatly, and
| have come here to sue for pardon.
Have [ your forgiveness?"
Still she gazed into his face with
wide-open, puzzled eyes.
81 do not recollect any such subject
of conversation, my lord!" she reiteF-
ated.
He bowed.
"Let us forget it, then!" he re-
turned. Il am sure it is my wisbkto

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

The importance of good vegetable
garden to the farmers family can hardl,
be overestimated. And yet the ordinary
farmer seems inclined to ignore its bene
hts and suffers it to become burden tc
hlm instead of q pleasure, as it would be
considered, if properly appreciated. He
ices the profit in wheat and corn, because
ae sells tie product of these cereals, and
he money he gets for them is something
anglble. But the products of the gar
len are not sold, therefore he sees no
money coming in from it, and he gets into
The habit of thinking that time and labor
gwen to it are about the same as thrown
,way or wasted. And, too. garden to
man who spends most of his time in
great fields of corn and wheat and hay
turing the spring and summer, seems a
7ery little, circumscribed affair--some,
hing hardly worth "bothering" with
;oc Insignificant TO be given much atten-
ION, in fact. Consequently, the vege
able garden is pretty sure to be neglected
BY the head Of the family, unless the
head happens 70 be woman. If most
armers' wives had the requisite amount
d time and strength to attend to the
garden as it ought to be attended to,
know very well that we would see fewer
patches OF weeds dignifed by the name

vegetables are taken during the season.
A nousckeeper appreciates the advantages

occasion requires. The linen folks an.
preclate the vegetables which the woman
Of the family sets before them at meal
lime, but the despised garden fails to oct
me credit it deserves for all that. MANY
men seem to think that vegetables are. or
ought to be, spontaneous products.
There ought to be plenty of them with.
out mans being obliged TO do anythine
TO secure them. A garden ought to
plant and take care of itself. But il 50
happens that gardens ''are not made Il

A Decision in Maine Under the United

prohibition states in original packages was
heard yesterday in the Lewiston Municipal
court. NJ. II. Cobe Wholesale liquor dealer of

kegs Of whisky seized in the Maine Central
depot April 70 by state constables OF the
ground that he is an importer and that the
liquor was his and in the original package. 1t
was sent consigned to him and was to be de-
livered to his agent, john Mailer, a truckmau,
to be delivered to the purchaser.
Judge Cornishes' decision was in part as fol-
lows: This claimant endeavors to bring his
under the decision just delivered bv the
United States Supreme Court. which declares
that the importer has the right to bring in and
sell in the original package. Two questions
enter into consideration of the case. First is
he the owner of the liquors and entitled to
possession, and was he at the time they were
seized and after that? Second. were they kept
or deposited for unlawful sale? The claimant
has testified as to how these liquors were sent
from the distillery into this state on an order
received from the city of Lewiston. He claims
that they belong TO HIM until delivered. He is
not able to state the name of the party order
ing the liquor or that he himself ordered them
sent, but presumes it was done by his clerk.
He never saw the liquor and has no
knowledge of the person for whom they
were intended when they reached here

vested in the party who ordered them, and
that he, and he only, has the right to claim
