of a turquoise blue, and which melted to-
ward evening into a glowing yellow, be-
sprnkled with gold dust, as the sun, which
here seems larger than in more northerly
climes, slowly sank TO rest In the pei
lucid light of late November, against
these undulating stretches of beauti-
ful country, against that black soil
which freely gives its riches to those
who ask the most of it, against the dusty
white stretches of the winding road, every
where, in fact, the costumes of the peasants
gathered to greet me stood out in lively con-
trast-shirts of dazzling whiteness richly
embroidered in red, black and gold; floating
wells of white linen and ivory or saffron
hued silk; peony or rich wine colored petit
coats had seen the men put their thin,
speedy little horses to the gailop, their
goatskin mantle falling like another name
on the backs OF their steeds. The embrold-
cred blouse which covered their breasts
looked like a navy colored tattooing under
the broad girdle which held quite an arse
nal of pistols and daggers The shirt, also
richly broidered, fell over breeches of white
felt, while their heads were covered with
large caps of white fur, from beneath which
their long raven black locks escaped and
hung over their shoulders.
5he Queens First Impressions.
AsI approached these picturesque groups
I saw supurb figures with faces of a rare
beauty, whose gravity but rarely gave place
to a faint smile which laid bare rows of
pearly teeth. And all these strange faces,
all these aquiline noses, with their delicate,
quivering nostrils; these marvelously large
ewes, black or greenish gray, sparkling with
& sullen fire, sunken in their sockets, over
hung by heavy, straight brows; these burn
ished compilations, this sonorous language,
in which every now and then there was
harsh cultural note, and which was so
fiuently spoken and with such marvellous
eloquence by these serious men, these Rou-
Inanian matrons, these children with the
starry eyes-all these produced upon me
the impression of something whose passion
and intensity were unknown under our
Northern Skies Then, too, was struck
with admiration as saw how the beautiful
face OF my young husband was in perfect

You see Ford was prudent withal in spite
of her coquettishness, and she thought to

sake of doctor was carrying love Of ad-
miration, or love itself, too far. She wished
Miriam to become Lady MacKennon, and
she thought it rash therefore to run such a
risk.
"Sir James will not hear" said Miriam,

Then they talked over various plans, and
finally settled that they were to steal down
the staircase together after the rest of the
family had retired to bed, and that Ford
was to open the back door, let out her
young mistress, and wait inside the door
until Miriam's return.

Miriam did not speak.

continued Ford. '.My very teeth chatter

But Miriam was too excited, too impa-

quests. She moved about the room rest

Miriam scarcely knew how she spent the
rest of the day after she had received Dare's
brief letter. Her mind was in whlrl oi
excitement, of fear, and also of strange joy.
She was going to see him again-Hugh-
see him in secrecy and danger, but still to
clasp his hand. to be near him once more!
She had named late hour for this meet
ing, because she knew by II o'clock her
father and mother were almost sure to have
retired for the night. Colonel Clyde was q
very methodical man, and when the family
were alone he made 1t practice to see that
all the doors of the house were locked by
half-past 10 o'clock, and at II everyone was
at rest in the Commandant's house.
The keys were left in the locks for Banks
to open the doors in the morning, and with
the assistance of Ford, Miriam meant to
open the back door, 60 through the garden,
and thus reach the west rampant, where she
expected to find Dare.
It was a dangerous escapade, and to do
Ford justice, when she heard the lateness
of the hour that Miriam intended to meet,
she believed, Doctor Reed, she said warn
ing word to her young mistress.
''Oh, Miss Miriam, it's not for me to
speak, but couldn't you fix to meet the
doctor sometime in the day?"
''The doctor?" repeated Miriam, in sur
prise.
"Yes-Doctor Reed; I am sure it would
be safer, because, even if you were seen it
would not be very strange, but you see
going out at night
Then Miriam understood; she had never
said who it was that she was going out to
meet, and Ford had naturally thought it
was Doctor Reed because she had written
to him twice. 'It is better she should
think it is Doctor Reed" reflected Miriam;
''better anyone than the truth"

There is not q window without some pots OF

the other hand, the trees have q hard time

tho winter destroys them, while men de-
spoil and cut them in such q fashion that
one never sees q fine park, and scarcely ever
even a shade garden. The difference in
temperature between summer and winter Is
100 centigrade, and the Northern plants
perish under the torrid sun of August, while
the more tropical ones succumb to the snow
falls OF January. Blu. the depth of snow
preserves the soil from the attacks Of the
frost and makes Roumania a won derful
country for vineyards. There are only three
seasons in Roumania, OF which only one is
pleasant-autumn. There is no spring. The
two ''sleighing months" relieve ones ears,
for at the first snowfall one soes nothing but
sleighs in the city and the houses are not
shaken by the constant clatter of carriages.
Sometimes the snow burtes the low houses
of the suburbs, and as many as II people
have persisted in single night at the gates
of Bucharest. Not infreQuently wolves
come into the city.
The snow does not seem to fall, It executes
a sort OF wild dance up and down and across,
SO that men and beasts are blinded and
wander in a circle. thinking that they are
pushing forward.

Free Wool and the American

The sheep industry under the operas
from iifty-one million head to forty two
million in five years. Strange as it may
appear from the statements of tarif res
formers and free trade advocates that
sheep-raising in the United States no
longer pays a reasonable profit, it is in
deed a matter of great Importance to the
careful agrculturist, for during these
five years while the product of the
American flock was annually decreasing
Canada and other countries imported
two million head of sheep in the United
States, paying a duty of thirty cents per
head, thus taking from the pocket of the
American producer $2,400,0 600 for the
carcass alone, while there must be added
the cost of the wool. The average
by the United States factories is about
$4,000 900. When these two items are
taken together it is one of the great agri-
cultural enterprises that might insure
largely to the American farmer if the
tariff was again increased on wool in
stead of it's being placed on the free list
as it is now proposed by the tariff reform
or Democratic lawmakers. The McKin-
ley bill, however, increased the tariff on
sheep per head from thirty cents to one
dollar and fifty cents, thereby affording
some relief. If the United States should
act wisely and do in the matter of sheep
raising as it is capable of doing, raising
it's own sheep and wool, then there must
be added to the American flocks sixty
million of sheep. This item alone would
60 far towards relieving many farmers
who are now struggling against OPPOSE
ton. trying to devise means for diver
styling their crops in order to make agri
culture profitable. Let the tariff on
wool be maintained or increased, and
forever decry the idea of free list for
all wool. -Ndtio1aal Bulletin

Rich Find of Numidian Marble.

The discovery made, pear Rural Re
treat, Wythe county, Va, by Mr.. Fava,
an Italian, whose father holds q diplo-
matte relations to this Government, of
Numidian marble is published us a very
important event. The property has
been purchased by wealthy Washing
ton syndicate for $4,000, and prepara>
tions are being made for working it on a
large scale The machinery for this pur-
pose is being built by Joseph Hall & Co.,
Richmond, Va. This discovery is re-
garded by marble dealers as the most
important of the times. There is only
one other similar quarry known in the
world, which is in the interior of the
provinces of Numidia and Muritania,
Africa, to the southwest of ancient
Carthage That is being worked by a
Belgium company, with a capital of
$5,00O,000.
Referring to this important discovery,
the Manchester, Va, Ledger says:
"Geologsts designate the Numidian
marble deposits as the finest in the
world, and marble experts in this coun-
try who have seen the stone from Vir-
ginia pronounce it equal and even supe-
rior to those from Africa. So much so
that some of the finest buildings in New
York are to be ornamented with it in
preference to the foreign stone. AS has
been stated, the present supply comes
from Africa, where it is hauled by cara
vans from the Atlas mountains to Algiers,
from which port it is shipped to all parts
of the civilized world The stone is sold
in New York at from Sc to $15 per cubic
foot according to size Of blocks and the
supply for the last few years has not
kept pace with the demand
The company's manager, Mr.. G. f. q.
Caracristi, a Chesterfeldian, who was in
Manchester to-day, said to a Leader res
porter: The discovery and acquisition
of these fine properties by the Washing
ton Marble Company has stimulated the
attention of biologists all over the coun-
try. 1t is truly one of those geological
features that occur ouly at rare inter-
walls; so much so, that only two such
deposits have been discovered in the
world We have already shipped some
of the stone to New York and other
points and it is everywhere taken for a
foreign product. The quarries are sit
uated in Wythe county, Va, about three
miles from Rural Retreat. Over forty
different colors have thus far been dis
covered, and as the work of opening up
other quarries progresses others are
found. The property is in the hands of
rich, conservative corporation, which
will spare no effort to give themselves
and the State the full advantage of the
discovery. In my opinion, the industry
is destined to be one of the largest in the
State, as we shall neither challenge nor
give competition -

ferring thereto, in the Topeka Daily
Capital, January IA: IAN investigation
of the Department of Agriculture under
Uncle Jerry Rusk S administration would
rebound to the glory of the Republican
| party, and the Democracy will not be so
wanting in political sense as to permit it
to take place"
! What are known as Farmers Insti4
tutes, have of late years attracted so
| much attention throughout the country,
that it is hardly necessary to explain
that these Institutes bring together the
most influential, progressive, and intelIi-
gent farmers in whatever locality they
may be held. Secretary Rusk is credited,
and justly, with the exercise, while Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, of a controlling in
leges, as they have been called, on a
secure and extensive basis in his own
State; and at these meetings, as we'll as
at the others referred to above, resolu-
tions of confidence in himself. and of full
approval of the work of the Department
under his administration, have been
frequently adopted. A sample of this,
from a largely attended institute in an
Eastern State, will be offered A State
Farmers Institute was held at Syracuse,
N. Y, January Is and 10, at which the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, Itappears that the Depart
ment of Agriculture is doing good work
in the inspection of pork and beef in the
West, and also numerous other lines of
work looking toward the advancement
of agricultural interests of the country;
and
WHEREAS, Itappears that the progress
of the advancement of the scope of the
Departments work is seriously hampered
by a lack of funds; therefore, be it
ReSolUed, That is the sense of this
meeting that Congress should increase
the appropriation for this Department.
From all these it is quite evident that
Secretary Rusk's work meets with the
fullest approval and appreciation on the
part of all intelligent and progressive
farmers throughout the country, the
universal expression being one of conf
dence in the chief of the Department, of
cordial sympathy with the work which |
it is doing, and of determination to
see to it that the hands of the Secretary
of Agriculture shall be strengthened by |
the support of their representatives in /
Congress, and that liberal appropriations
must be made by that body to enable
him to continue his good work.
