Polite <3irl,s. Ouandarv.

Tacoma Letter: The old saying, 1T pays
to be polite" has been illustrated again in
the Tacoma postofiice in favor of Miss
Margaret j. Reese the stamp clerk, very
pretty young woman oftwenty- l.. o.
Landers, q grizzled, Grabbed, one-legged
old fellow, has a fine farm on Vashon
island. near Tacoma. Although he lives
the lie of hermit, it is believed that he is
rich, Tor the Vashon ;ruit lands are among
the most productive in the state, and his
farm has been under cultivation for num-
Der of years. He visits the Tacoma office
every week or two and he always asks
Miss Reese TO get his mail for she went to
considerable trouble in looking up a letter
or him once, and he thinks no one else in
the office is to be trusted.
Some months ago, after she had handed
him his mail. he laid $500 in gold on her
counter saying "TlIat's for you" Before
the astonisheu girl had comprehended the
act he was gon1. She was SO indignant
that she wept. and when Landers returned
she gave back the money, telling him she
suppo. ed he had forgotten it. He was
much hurt, but later he left at a local
jewelry shop all order for diamond neck
lace and earrings for her. and in explana-
ton lie said to the shopkeeper that she
was the only person who had ever spoken
a kind word to him.
The jewelry was refused, also, by Miss
Ree>e, but Landers was not TO be thwarted
in his desire to make her understand his
gratitude, for day or two ago he stumped
into the postofiice, and thrusting paper
into her hand remarked that it was some
thing she could not return Miss Reese, on
opening the document :ound that 1t was
deed Tor five acres of lard, which she has
been told is worth 5000 an acre. She is at
present in quandary as to what course

IL 1t Possible for 1t to Come More
Than Once2
+, Can a woman love twice with the
same intensity? is a question often
asked but seldom answered. There
seems to be SO many sides to the
question that an answer all at once
would be impossible, but viewing it
as any other problem, weighing every
phase and looking at it calmly and
dispassionately, there comes more
than one reply to the interrogation
and it resolves itself into this, ayes
and no, )" says the Philadelphia Times.
Woman may !oYe with equal inten-
sity at different periods of her life, but
the love will be of an entirely differ
ent character. To begin with many
women imagine the fancy OF mo-
ment to be the lasting regard of
lifetime, and for the time being they
will be as much in earnest, suffer as
keenly and feel as deeply as though
they were really in possession of the
genuine sentiment. Therefore when
years go on and they meet man who
inspires q true, earnest and sincere
feeling of affection the world wonders
at the second out-pouring of feeling
and considers hereither tickle or capa-
BILE of more than one great love in
lifetime.
So few women know their real senti-
ments until they are in the neighbor-
hood OF 30 that it is no wonder that
the man who pleased the girl at II
has no attraction for the woman
whose tastes have changed, whose
mind has broadened, while he, a man
ut the time her early fancy was at
tracted, remains as he was, while she
progresses tar beyond him.
Love, lasting and enduring love of
the right type, comes but once to stay;
but tickle, feeting fancy can so dis
guise itself that NO one could discover
it was not the genuine article until the
passing years proved to the unhappy
woman her mistake. 1t is not the
intensity of affectionto be questioned,
but it is genuine character. Once the
true ring sounds and never again will
any'love take it's place; it will be en-
shrined in her heart forever, and come
woe, come adversely, the steady fire
will glow with undiminished fervor un-
til the lamp of life goes out forever.

HOLLANDS LITTLE QUEEN.
What She Does and What She
Studies Daily.

What She Does and What She
Studies Daily.
The little queen is said to be a
charming child, with pretty manners
and sweet disposition. She is very
popular in The Hague, where hardly
q house is without her portrait. The
writer in the Figaro does not even
mention little Wilhelmina's supposed
nervousness, about which so much
was said last summer. He describes
her as lLgrown, handsome,
healthy girl, fair and rosy, and fond
of romping and childish games. Sheis,
indeed, brought up sensibly and
hygienically enough to suit even
the most advanced members of
our "National Health" Society. She
loves riding, skating and rowing. She
is much in the open air, and is
devoted to animals, especially to her
ponies, dogs and pigeons. Even the
deer in the park at Loo know her
footstep and run to meet her.
Loo is the summer and country
residence of the mother and daughter,
as The Hague is the winter one. Here
little Wilhelmina has a garden and
greenhouse of her every own" to say
nothing of a pigeon house, tiny
model farm and last, but not least, q
chalet delightfully."- fitted up as q
kitchen, where the little girl on Satur
day half holidays bakes cakes and
sweetmeats and hands them proudly
around to the court ladies.

service largely on sen mental grounds.
On dress parade and on occasions OF cere-
mony tue saber does we'll enough, but no
sane man would think OF using a sabre in
modern battle. During the Franco-Prus-
sian war only seven men were killed by the
saber on both s.des. and yet you could count
the men killed in our war by that weapon
on your fingers. We discarded it alto
gcther in my command. In the ancient
days when King Arthur was OH earth the
saber was OF some USE but it is entirely out
of place in the nineteenth century. The
government could save money and at the
same trme improve the efficiency of the
service by abo ishing the saber from the
army. Fiction writers will, of course,
cling TO it, for its loss would deprive them
of one I f the chief articles of tn ir stock in
trade. The paper hero nj st cut his way

The eighth annual report OF the Wiscon-

of space to questions relative 10 ensila ,e.
by f. K King Of the construction and
filling Of silos. Mr.. King, having visited
ninety three silos in Missouri, Michigan,
Ohio and Illinois, and several farmers while
ii ling their silos, in order to obtain data
for this chapter, concludes that stone
slo, properly constructed, will keep the
silage as well as wooden one, but that
1t will be necessary to renew the cement
lining frequently, or else TO whitewash
1t with ,resh cement every year, as the
acids of the siage soon Sotens the

failure as silo lining, both because of the
softenin, Of the plaster and the liability to
inquiry with the fork in handling the
silage. Ofthe wooden Innings, that made
by two tnicknesse; OF boards with tarred
paper between them, all nailed firmly to-
gether, is showing greatest durability; but
all wooden Innings rot soon un ess well
ventilated Painting the lining tends TO
hasten decay instead of preserving it.
From an experiment in feeding corn

weeks produced total quantity of 1888
pounds of milk during the siage period,
and 19, 801 pounds OF milk during the Iod-
der corn period.
Second-Whcn we consider the areas O.:

have produced 243 pounds more milk per
acre than the dry fodder, or the equivalent
OF IL pounds of butter. This is gain OF a

should be said, occurred more than

to her. father, gave it to servant to
put into the hands of courier, then
waiting to start. The servant, mis-
understanding the order, deposited the
letter in the post office, and the mis-
take was not discovered until five or
sixsshours had elapsed. In the mean
while the regular mailfor Russia, and
indeed, all western Europe, was made
mp and despatched.
As soon as the empress was told
what had been done, she sent an ex-
press to command the whole mail,
bag and baggage, back to st. Peters.

Everything was reopened, the
imperial missive recovered and
placed in. the courier's care, and then,
but not till then, the mail was allowed
to resume it's journeyl
