handle of poignard concealed in his
disguise.
That night accompanied him to
the palace OF the Governor General,
known then and afterward rs Tacon
the Just. His excelleney was Just
going out but he laid aside his plumed
hat and Spanish cloak, to hear Pedro's
story. A superb cross of malachite
and gold lay on table at his right
He babe Pedro press it to his lips,
and swear that the story was true.
The young Cuban kissed it solemnly
and in the most imprisoned manner
as he repeated the statement.

said, but present yourself here at !
tonight"
We were both there at Z. | to see
the matter through, Pedro Wild with
emotion and jealousy.
There was also the count and the
beautiful cigarette girl, pale and
proud, in her indignation and inno-
cence.
The count was requested TO take
the solemn oath on the gold cross to
the effect that he had offered nogreat-
er indignity to the beautiful Guiana
than that OF abducting her under false
pretenses.
The chaplain OF the palace was
present and was asked to step for
ward.
You will now proceed to marry the
Sonora Miralda and the Count Almon-
tie, said Tacon the Just.
But, excelenzia, my family, my
position"
You should have thought OF that
sooner. You viii now make the sonora
your countess.
Poor Pedro! He looked like mad
man, and he dared not speak a word.
In few moments the ceremony was
over, and Mira!da, the cigarette girl
OF the Gale de Mercadores, was the
Countess OF Almonte.
Now, said Tacon, when the names
were registered-the new countess
dropping tears on her unwelcome title
as she wrote it after her name, make
out the deeds to all your property in
the name OF your countess.
There was no chance to disobey the
order. The count did as he was com
manded and the witnesses signed their
names.
For the present, said the Gov
ernor, "The countess will remain in
seclusion in the palace with my house

The count went away with hot an

THERE is in England an association

worthier and more substantial way OF

most melancholy token of death. The

fact is OF moment because it repre-.

even unpromising soil and uncongenial

The Sheep a Creditor.

1t has been said by some writer that
the sheep never dies in debt to its own
or. This is true the world over. The
wool upon it's back will pay the expense
Of keeping the sheep. The sources Of
profit are greater than in any other kind
of stock, in that it yields its offspring,
wool and flesh. As a cleaner and eradi-
Gator of noxious weeds that grow upon
almost every farm it has no equal.
There are many weeds no other animal
will touch that are eagerly sought by the
sheep. This pauper does not get the
praise and attention it is entitled to by
our farmers, as the many farms will at
test where the sheep are not found. >
When we look at the value of the wool
imports into America we should readily
discern that the sheep is sadly needed to
,upply a home demand for their product.
We predict that the new census will dis
dose the fact that the number Of sheep
las decreased in the United States, and
instead of the 81, 900, 900 in 1890 that
will probably be less. We hope there
may be 100, O00, 1000; there should be,
and when there is that number there
will be greater prosperity among the
{farmers.-Field and Farm.

Buy When Others Want to Sell.

Last fall at one Of the fairs we con-
graduated a sheep breeder on his show
yard successes, and expressed the hope
that he had a goodly flock just at that
time when sheep were high. Indeed I
have" said he. "When wool was fifteen
cents a pound, and no one would hear a
word about sheep, I told my wife then
was the time to buy sheep. I have them,
and a good many of them. I have just
sold forty rams to n man." This man
had faith enough to believe that the
world had not yet got beyond needing
wool and mutton. Observation had
taught him that men, like sheep, go in
crowds. He foundit more profitable to
use his own Judgment, invest his money
and bide his time.-Breeders' Gazette.

There is much solicitude about the
future prices of the trotter. Hitherto it
is obvious that the prices of trotting
stock have been out Of proportion to its
earning capacity upon the track. These
prices have been largely regulated by
the demand for breeding purposes.
Stations have brought large prices be-
cause they could command large service
fees, and thus enable their owners to
obtain good returns on their investment.
Brood mares have been sold for good
prices because their produce by good
horses would bring ~remunerative prices
for breeding purposes. It is a plain
proposition that this condition Of affairs
cannot last always.
1a, When the breeding farms of the
country are fully stocked, and this is
only a question of time, trotting horses
will depreciate unless there is something
besides the demand for breeding stock
to keep them up. The increasing popu-
larity of trotting races in foreign coun-
tries, and the demand necessarily EN-
suing for breeding stock in these coun-
tries, will serve to keep prices up for
some time after the home market is fully
supplied. But even the foreign demand
will necessarily have a limit.-New
York Herald.

Stopping a Runaway.

Professor Gleason thus explains the
manner Of stopping a runaway horse by
using nothing but a straight bar bit and
lines: For instance, your horse attempts
to run away. Let him go for a distance
of fifty yards; then haul in your lines
perfectly tight. When you get ready to
give the command to stop say whoa
at the same time you pull the right hand
rein giving powerful jerk and repeat
the word whoa. Don't move the left
hand, but do all the work with the
right. When you give the terrible jerk
twist the horses jaw to the right, and if
you have the presence of mind to repeat
the word whoa at the second jerk Of the
lines you will be surprised to find your
horse standing still.
