An AristOcratic Market Gardener.

Pretty nearly half England's nobility
has gone into trade of some sort. The
Duke of Fife is turning his land into
bank stock. Lord Randolph Churchill is
a special correspondent-and the name
is legion of those noble danes who sell
everything from butter to bonnets and
not always by proxy. The SO famous
Lady Brooks runs show In connection
with her Eastern charity work, where
you can buy nearly everything a woman
can put on from the crown of her head
to the sole of her foot. Her betters in
birth and breeding help themselves in
lowlier ways. One, the sister of the wife
of the Duke of Wellington and daugh-
ter of Marquis whose blood is of the
best, lives just out of London in ram
bling old house that has half On acre of
garden behind it. Small as is the bit of
earth, she gets from it good share of
her maintenance. She points out her as
paragus bed, crowded with tender shoots,
and says: ais it not tempting?-but |
cannot afford to eat it. Every stalk is
engaged to Covent Garden Market,where
it fetches enough money to clothe me
and my girls. New York Sun.

and make pot of red-pepper tea, boilin'

away, hauled out my knife. give it

back. She told Maggy to fling that
pepper tea away, and then she got out a
level tumblerfal of whiskey and come
out and made me drink every drop of it.
And then, while Maggy was fixin' to tie
up what was left of my thumb, she, a
KNOWN couldn't carry all that load of
whiskey, she made me go to bed, and tell
you the truth, squire, i never remembered
another thing till next mornin' daybreak,

But where was Jim all this time?
"They told me after it was oil over
that Jim came back with his forked stick,
a-sayin' it took longer than he thought
to get one to suit. Missis Tiller said she
thanked him, and told him that he better
put it away keorful, as it might come in
handy next time"
That's jim; that's exactly Jim, !" said
my father. ''But, Joe Hobby, don't tell
me you came away from that house with
out getting Maggy's word, after what l
told you of the Importance Of being
brisker in some of your ways, especially
since Jim has become a widower."
"Oh, no. sir. thought itwere a good
chance to follow up your advice, and l
put in for her as well as l could; and she
said that, in all the circumstances, she
wasn't sure but what it was her duty"
That's good! that's first-rate! "
"But, law, squire! she declare she
must put off the weddin' for ut least one
whole year"
Nonsense! You tell Maggy, from me,
that, after all you've done for her and
that baby, say that | think it very hard
to be putting it off so long, and that if
any accident was TO happen to you in oil
that lonesome while she'd never forgive
herself"
He carried the words, and in few
days afterwards reported that they had

ished the enthusiasm OF the strikers The
men are supported by all the labor or

adopted declaring that they will assist the

the exigencies of the situation may require.
This support is apparent in the shape of
money for the Strikers families and In the
augmentation of the crowds that gather
around when the company attempts to
move cars. Encouragement is also
given the strikers by people who live along
the lines, and among many of these are
people of prominence, who. detest the
