How did you know HIM, Lang
worthy7 asked Hayden, with pathetic
eagerness.
AS patient. It's sad story. You
won't like it. You had better keep
your fancies without the addition OF
any of the facts.
Go on, said Hayden, briefly.
"They live here, you know. He
was the only son. He unconsciously
acquired the morphine habit from TAX
ing quantities of the stuff for neuralgia
symptoms during severe protracted
illness. After he got better, and found
what had happened to him, he came
to me. l had to tell him he would die
if he didn't break it off, and would
probably die if he did. On, no mat
ter, he said. What disgusts me is the
idea that it has taken such hold Of me.
He did break it off, directly and abb
solutely. l never knew but one other
man who did that thing. But between
the pain and the shock from the sud-
den cessation of the drug, his mind
was unbalanced for while. Of course
the gilIs parents broke off the engage
ment. | k-ew they were travelling
with him last summer. 1t was trying
case, and the way he accepted his own
weakness touched me. At his own
request he carried no money with him.
1t was temptation when he wanted
the drug, you see. 1t must have been
at some su ch moment, when he con-
templated giving up the struggle, that
you met him in the pawn shop.
1 am glad l knew enough to respect
him even there, murmured Hayden, in
his beard
Oh, you may respect him, and love
him if you like. He died moral hero,
if mental and physical wreck. That
is as good way as any, or ought to
be, to enter another life-if there is
another life.
And the woman? asked the con.
nolsseur.
Keep the opals, Hayden; they and
he are more to you than to her. She
in fact it is very soon-I believe that
she is to marry another man.
Who is
A gilded cad. That's all.
Langworthy took out his watch and
looked at 1t. | turned to the table.
What had happened to the dreaming
stones? Did light flash across from
one TO the other. or did my eyes deceive

Langworthy looked, then turned hi:
head away sharply. The distaste of the
scientific man for the lnexplicable and

QUESTION ASKING.

The English have an old proverb TO
the effect that those who ask no ques-
tions will be told no lies. 1t would be
well 10 bear this surly old proverb ever
in mind when tempted 10 make idle
inquiries, advises Ha1pey'S BaGar,
which has the following to say on the
subject:
We may have no bad motives when
asking Mrs. A. how she became ac-
quainted with Mrs. B. 4; we may not, in
fact, care much about the matter, but
it has occurred to US to wonder how,
why and where lady of such elegance
and fashion as Mrs. A. should have be-
come so intimate with the humble and
unattractive Mrs. B. that the one can
rarely be met without the other. So
far no harm has been done. As we
have asked no questions, no mischiev-
Gus surmises have been set ahoat, and
no rudeness has been committed. 1t
may be that neither woman would OBJ
ject to making known the origin of
their friendship; but it may also be that
to tell it would be to unfold a long
story of sorrow or misfortune.
Every one detests the scandalmon.
ger, but his occupation would be gone
without the aid of the questioner. The
latter's motives may be innocent, but
the results of his vulgar impertinence
are often disastrous. Every one who
feels in himself rising inquiry in regard
to the private affairs of others should
crush it. Parents should use every
effort to divert the natural curiosity of
their children into useful and elevating
channels.
A little girl of eight years stood
squarely before visitor other mothers
her large blue eyes staring unfalterlngly
while she asked, as if the answers were
her due:
"You were away from home last
week, Mrs. M. Where did you go1
Whom did you go to see1 What did
you go for2 Did Mr.. M. 60 with your
Why didn't he go! Why did you stay
so long2"
And so on and on, the visitor mean
while making frantic efforts to main
tain a conversation with the child's
mother, who herself had a most pain
full time of it, divided as she was be-
tween her own curiosity, which was
keen as that of her child, and a half
perception OF the lmpollteness OF the
interogatory.
Having returned to her own home
Mrs. M. began examining herself in re-
gard to her own methods with her
children.
"Have l ever suffered them," she
demanded of herself, "to ask questions
in regard to matters which do not con-
Germ them?" A low voice sounded in
her heart with painful clearness: eyes,
1 have, and worse. There is hardly a
day in which l have not asked useless
and sometimes even impertinent ques-
tions of my own family and intimate
friends, even if l have not been thus
impolite to chance acquaintances." If
more of US listened frankly to the ac-
cusations of conscience, the number OF
i'll bred questloners would speedily di-
minish. A friendly interest receives
condolences with pleasure and guards
them with care. 1t neither demands
nor reveals.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE BOY.

He worried the cat,
He played rat-tat-tat
On the window panes, fully an hour by the clock
He tried roller skates
Where dishes and plates
In jeopardy lay, till some fell, with shock.
Will an Indian yell
On a dolls house fell,
And added that poor doly's scalp to his belt;
Then he knocked off its toes,
And its fair Grecian nose,
Which same was of wax-he proceeded to melt.
Two tubs he upset
without one regret;
He stood on his head till his face turned sky blue;
A curtain he tore,
And then sighed for more
Inventyely mischievously things he might do.
He hid granny's specs"
But that didn't veX;
Her face frightened up with hs fun and his noise.
''Oue sweet kiss repaid
For alI!'' 50 she said,
Resignedly adding that boys will Ge Toys! =
But strangcst of all,
At night 5 quiet tall,
How meekly. how placidly this rogue would say;
''tfood-night, Mamma dear.
Good might, Papa dear!
I've tried hard to be such a good boy to-day -

Honey Crop.

Among the minor industries which may be successfully prosecuted upon many farms, without hindrance to the work of the main crops we have before suggested that of bee keeping. The importance of this industry, as whole, we think is not sufficiently appreciated. In the col lection of agricultural statistics by the department of agriculture every state reports more or less honey, but usually less than more, yet the. whole production is placed at 25,0O0, 900 pounds of honey and more than 1, 900, 900 pounds of wax, with an aggregate, value of more than $6,OO0, 900. This is brought from vast number of farms which each have few hives or colonies, large apiaries being the exception.
 There are a few districts, as in DOT. tions of New York, Ohio, Tennessee and California, where apiculture is 6 promi- nent feature and considered very profit able. The owner of we'll titled farm of sixty acres in northern Ohio once said to the writer that his 100 colonies of bees, occupying not more than half an acre of space in the orchard, gave more net profit than all the rest of the farm. Knowledge of their habits, which can only be gained by experience and close attention to the needs of the bees, are more demanded in the business than capital or hard work. Where . large apiary is carried on there should be especial crops planted for pasturage, so that bees will not wander far from home in search of food. Dakota Farmer.

Home Bred Stock Horses.

The Percheron horse of years ago was draught horse in fact as well as name, and his splendid development of bone. muscle and endurance came of years of hard work; but when the demand for export increased, as also the call for greater size, the colts were grown in idle ness, as big and fast as they could make them, and after importation the fatten- ing process was continued, and too often they come into the buyers hands great, soft, worthless things; and when they are reduced enough to fit, them for stud service he sees that their fat was "cloak that covered a multitude of sins," and that he has quite different looking horse from what he supposed. Besides, until acclimated and fully recovered from the effects of importation, sterility or even death is not very uncommon.
 { These and other considerations would incline to the belief that Ame.ican bred horses are better and safer to buy, and that from some of the farmers or small breeding establishments of the country may be had home bred stallions that are often as we'll or better bred, and of as good quality, that have escaped the pampering process, and would do the buyer much more good. Then the home breeder does not have to charge up to his customers the expense and risk of i'm portation on top of g large purchase price in order to make 8 reasonable profit Breeders Gazette. :-rr rrel.vg Eu

OUR DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE cATTLE
 . AND HOG MARKET. S--F

what Observations from the Chicago
 HsadquArtsrs of the Hog and Cattle
 Market Indicate--somo Breeders May
 Bs Sorry They Sold Their Stock. ,.
 If prices for cattle and hogs do not ap- preciate materially within the next four or five months number of men-men who back their judgment with their money-will be badly fooled. At the meeting of the Indiana Swine Breeders association an extensive feeder and ship per of swine stated that he had contracted hogs for the August market at five cents, and last week it was related in our mar ket report that cattle had been contracted for June delivery at six cents, and as it is figured that this last shipper must sell at $6. 35 to realize on the venture it will be seen what some ''men in the business" think of the future of the market. These are what are termed in political parlance "straws," and are popularly supposed to show from what quarter and to which quarter the wind is blowing. ,.rr-r~r-
 The Gazette has been among the con- servatives so far as prognostications as to tHe course of the market in the i'm mediate future are concerned, although never for a moment doubting that cattle would yet be cattle and hogs yet be hogs. It has never been admitted by this jour nal that the sheet anchor of all success ful agriculture had been even 30 much as started" from its firm hold, although the fact has been noted that winds of such force have been blowing as to frighten the timid and even to cause a measure of apprehension among those who in their sober moments realize how firmly the anchor of stock husdandry holds in our commercial life. But while clearly of the opinion that the flood of live stock which has been steadily flow. ing toward this market for the past few years must some day exhaust itself The Gazette has realized the vast extent of the country devoted to hog and cattle raising, and has been loath to fix a limit in point of time to the deluge.
 It is not now prepared to set bounds to this flood, but it ventures to say that there are many circumstances which seem to indicate that the men quoted above as having an abiding faith in the near future of the markets are not lean- ing upon broken reed. It should be remembered, however, that there are not 8 few cattle now feeding for She June market, but nevertheless The Ga Eette feels warranted in advising strong ly against the unnecessary further sac rifice of breeding stock of good quality. This is an eminently conservative view to take of the situation. As such it is com mended to the consideration of thought full men. After the deluge, what9-Chi- cago Breeders Gazette. 5rr. s......sj
