The ways of a lovely woman
when she calls to her aid the tele-
graph service, together with n
glimpse into disordered household,
were both shown ut the 23rd street
telegraph station, near 9th avenue,
New York, on a recent afternoon.
1t was close upon o'clock when
a young woman, tall, well dressed,
and considerably agitated, appeared
there and, seizing a blank, wrote
rapidly for moment before she
stepped over to the man in charge.
won't you hurry that along as
fast as possible, pIease2" she said,
pushing the ,,ispatch through.
1t was addressed to an officer in
Nassau street, near Wall. The op-
orator used to this request, took the
message and began the usual anno-
tation
'Twenty'six cents he said..stin
jabbing at it with bis pencil.
"How soon will it goP' asked the
sender.
"At once"
alt ought to get there before half
past 4?'' she hazarded with a raising
infection.
at ought to-" said the operator.
"But will it, do you suppose2"
persisted the lady.
ayes, if there is no delay at the
other end" was the reply.
Then she paused in the act of
putting down the money.
81 wonder if messenger would
be quicker" she said, half to Ler-
self.
The operator waited.
"I'll be back in n minute" she
went on, and hurried TO the mes
senger desk.
"What is your shortest time to
Nassau street, near WALTZ" she burst
out breathlessly.
"We have done it in % minutes.
Fifty-sixl' called the manager, in
anticipation of quick service.
"Oh, / don't believe he could get
there so soon as that objected the
young woman, as boy presented
himself
ale could in 30 minutes" the
manager returned.
"How would he go?" persisted
the questioner doubtfuIly.
"By cross town car, elevated
train, and run up Wall street to
Nassau"
Still she hcsitated. y glance at
the clock decided her.
at is on the stroke of !, and the
message must be delivered befor"
half-past. / think the telegraph is
quicker" she said.
In frantic haste she returned to
the operator. He was busy with a
message, and two more precious
minutes were lost
"Send that message just as fast as
you can; and do put on it to be de-
livered at once can't your" she
said when her turn came.
"I'll rush it" said the operator.
"Oh, do, urged the lady. "You
see how important it is and for
the first time she unknit her pretty
brows.
The operator, too, INDUCED in
fleeting smile. The dispatch read:
"Don't bring Mr.. home to din
ner. Cook has just left in tan
trum."

A Famous ceyIon RUBY.

Ofthe gems found in Ceylont the ruby
is OF most value, and has at times se-
cured the highest prices. Rejecting as a
travellers tale the assertion OF Marco
Polo, that he saw a Ceylon ruby the
size OF mans arm says the Times of
India, it may be interesting to recall
what is related of another Ceylon
ruby, in connection with the part
played unwittingly, in the rise of a
family that was of note in a subse-
quent period in the history of the
Dutch republic.
A "Chetty' physician became the
owner of a, large ruby, said to have
been the size Of a. small curry stuff
grinding stone. Cutting it into pieces
and retaining the larger portions, he
presented the Dutch governor OF Col
ombo, mhoff, with eighteen buttons
set with the smaller pieces Imhoff,
not unmindful of gratitude, promptly
exalted the donor to the proud posi-
ton Offrst malabar mudalayar of the
gate, a title of honor still retained,
and about equivalent to a lord lieu
tenancy OF a county in England.
This rise in rank, however, stirring
into restless action the dormant en-
ergies of the Chiefly, the governor was
at last glad to get rid of his protege by
Transforming him into dignitary
learned in the law, and presenting him
with g. seat as Judge OF the supreme
court in Java, This gentleman was
grandfather to DR.. CUNT Ondaatjee,
alluded to in Allison's "History of
Europe" as the ''great democratic
leader" Whatever, however, the
value attached to the Ceylon rubies in
the past or the present, it should be
noted that really valuable ones have
ever been scarce, and they cannot vie
in comparison with some Burmese
specimens.

AN ACCIDENT THAT SOMETIMES

When you attend Il party
And gyrate with the girls,
The exercise is hearty,
Your brain with pleasure whir1s.
But oh! the painful feeling
When suddenly you find
The naked truth revealing
Your neckti I'D behind
AS down on change you linger
To watch the markets. close
Some fool will point his finger
At you beneath your nose
And shout out quite loosely:
Excuse me, Sir, l find,
On looking at you closely.
Your necktie's up behind"
On some night when you're calling
upon your sweetheart fair,
On, Is it not appalling.
As you your love declare,
"nen words come hard and harder,
Quite suddenly to find,
Amid your loves sweet ardor,
Your necktie's up behind?
In this queer situation,
NO matter how one tries,
there Is no explanation
The necktie's bound to rise,
lis useless to reject it,
By fate it is designed,
And when you least expect it
Your neektie's up behind.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FEARFUL OF THE COST OF HAV-
ING GOOD ROADS.
Many Matters OF Interest and Value to
the Agricu1turist Mentioned and
Discussed-Household Hints
and Other Notes.
Fearful Of The Cost.

There are many farmers who do not
have faith in the possibility of better
roads. They have never known any
better, nor did their fathers and grand
fathers. When such men are told of
the roads in France and England they
do not half believe what they hear.
But the most serious contributing
cause to the farmers Indifference to
the subject is the fear that if any
system of general roadway improve
ment were inaugurated the agricultural
people would have to pay entirely for
them. The support of the agricultural
people of any measures in this direc-
ton can never be obtained until it is
made perfectly clear that the general
public will pay the charges.
The most comprehensive system of
railways is that in France, and there
too, perhaps, are found the best roads
in the world. The French minister of
public works has charge of all roads,
and these are administered by a spe-
cial department. and council of which
the minister is president. There is a
staff of six hundred engineers and in
spectors and two thousand inferior Of
fcials. The department. has also a
school of roads and bridges for the
education of engineers. The roads are
national, departmental, military and
vicinal. The national roads are main
tanned entirely by the national treas
ury. There are twenty-five thousand
miles of these. The vicinal or cross
roads are maintained chiefly at the
cost of the communes, but under ma
tional administration. On these roads
there are constantly employed fifty
thousand workmen and three thousand
overseers. What a contrast this is to
our happy-go-lucky method of work.

Colman's Rural World.
Farm MattecR.

No soil is ever as fully supplied with
plant food as it might be. The richest
land naturally will show the effect of the
manure.
With poultry, as with every thing else on
the farm, there is always an opportunity
to sell at good prices fowls or eggs that are
of little better quality than others are
offering.
The best treatment for young orchards
is to keep the surface of the ground mel
low and clean. If while the orchard is
starting the owner feels that he must use
the land for some productive crop, it should
be some hoed crop that requires clean culti-
walton. III ,-
A New York farmer puts his clover hay
in the NOW, alternating layer of the
clover with layer of oat straw. The oat
straw thus has the flavor of the hay i'm
parted to it, and while it, of course, con-
tains no more nutriment than formerly, it
smells and tastes better, and the sheep
that are fed upon it eat it all up clean.
Dairy Notes.
Overproduction? There may be at times
an overproduction of grease and poor but
ter, but have no fear that there ever will
be too much of that nice, sweet, full-ha-
vored, rosy butter. Never!
Cheese making has been supposed to be
very simple thing, said D. M. Mcpherson
before New York state Farmers Institute.
My experience of twenty-one years has
taught me that it is very difficult thing
It is almost impossible to control results
and to make cheese such as is wanted. As
result we have a great deal of cheese Of
bad flavor and short lived.
Any discovery which would enable US to
determine the exact amount of moisture
would be a boon to cheese makers. As
shown with the hot iron, the curd should
contain 4S per cent of moisture when there
are fine threads on the iron. When taken
from the press the cheese should have 38
per cent. of moisture and when well cured
33 per cent. An excess of moisture, tends,
to carry on fermentation; a reduction to
lessen it.
there are two strong reasons why butter
should be brine-salted while it is in the
granular condition. First, that the infu-
ence of the salt may disengage the Gaseous
matter from the fat, so that it can be east
ly washed out; and second, that the gran
ules of butter may be enveloped in strong
brine, and the sailing nearly done, so that
far less working of the butter will be ne
cessiated than is the case where there is
considerable Gaseous matter left in it, and
the salt is all to be worked through it, to
make it as evenly distributed through the
mass as possible.
