CHATTER XII.
LOVE AND SORROW.

The beautiful golden summer came round,
and Darrell Court looked picturesque and
lovely with its richness OF foliage and flush
of flowers. The great magnolia trees were
all in blOOm-the air was full of their deli
cate, subtle perfume; the chestnntS were in
bloom, the lines all in blossom. Sweet sum-
mer had scattered her treasures with no mig
gard hand; and Lady Darrell had lived to
see the earth rejoice once more.
Under the lines. where the shadows of the
graceful tremulous scented leaves fell on
the grass.-the lines that were never still,
but always responding TO some half-hidden
whisper Of the wnd-stood Pauline Darrell
and her lover, Sir Vane st. Lawrence. They
had met but once since their hurried parting
at Ombereigh. Vane had been to Darrell
Court-for their engagement was no secret
now. They wrote to each other constantly.
On this fair June day Sir Nane had come
to the Court with news that stirred the
depths of the girls heart as fierce wind
strs the ripples on lake.

BARRELS AND CASKS.
They are Now Successfully Turned Out
Direct from the Tree.

Barrels and casks are now successfully
turned out from the tree--that is, with
out the wood having to be cut I'D into
numerous slaves. By this method, which
is known as the Oncken system, the tree
stem Is first sawn into lengths to suit
that of the cask to be made, and these
lengths are boiled for about three hours
in a closed vessel, which renders the
wood soft, a current of electricity being
also passed through the water during the
boiling process. Tie log is taken from
the boiler to the cutting machine-in
which it is fixed as In lathe, and brought
up against long. broad cutting blade
the log is revoiyed, the knife automatical-
~ approaches 1T, and the sheet of wood
passes out out of the rear of the machine
through an opening IN the frame just at
tue edge of the ula1e, as IN d plane. The
sheet Of wood, says the New York sun, is
drawn from the machine on to a table.
where it is cut into lengths suitable fer
the diameter of the barrel; the lengths are
taken to a growing machine, and grooved
near the edges for receiving the head and
bottom O. the cask; the wood is now put
into anot9er machine, which cuts long,
narrow, Vp.eces, or gussets, out Of the
edges at intervals, which give the neces-
sary double taper to the cask The sheets
of wood are finally formed up into cylin-
De-, and the first two hoops driven on b.
the machine, there being thus only one
stave in the cask. and consequently, only
one joint. The sheets of wood can receive
any degree Of thinness.

FARM NOTES.

Keep seed corn from getting damp.
When the fowls get too fat an exclusive
feed of oats will reduce them.
There is no advantage in Matching out
gosIlngs until grass gets good start
Damp quarters and stagnant water often
prove fatal to turkeys and chickens.
Turkeys, ducks, geese and guineas can
be Matched in the incubator as well as
chickens, and can be raised in brooder.
Plant an asparagus bed this spring. Il
will give you larger return for the labor
and land employed than anything else on
the farm.
Fowls that are confined in small runs
should be fed green food, in some forln,
every day or two. Cabbage is excellent for
them; suspend head few inches from
the floor and let them pick at it.

Help for Young Lambs.

It very often occurs that the lamb is I'M
able to start tie milk for the first time
which has gummed up the oriGce in the end
of the teat and it is very essential that the
shepherd start the flow for the little new
conner and that it is seen to get a supply
before leaving it. If the eve does not
give sufficient milk, it can be supplement-
ed with cows milk. and what is better is
to feed the eve the same ration which
makes COW give plenty of milk. The
ration is found TO be equal parts of ground
oats and corn and wheat bran about from
one-half pounds to two pounds at feed.
In helping the young lamb get its first
nourishment it is not always best to wait
till the lamb gets almost given out and
discouraged in its attempts, for at this
time it takes more patience with it. 1t
should be helped Will trying to help il
self. Ali lambs do not need help.

What Shall we Share,

Sharing what we have with others is
very vel at times, and again it is very
tar from well. 1t is right for hs to share
cur bread with the hungry, but if we have
food that is poisoned, We have no right to
share it with an. one else. Our spiritual
encourage ments can be shared with our
special temptations and evil imaginings
bad better be kept 10 ourselves. We can
be forwaI d in giving o-hers a share of
our pleasures, but we should hesitate be-
fore asking another to share chr eriefs
md mental bewilderments. Character is
shown in what We refrain from sharing,
as truly IS IN what We are ready to share.

Salt for Dimals.

Mr.. s. n. Pierce, of Galloway, Neb.,
writes that be regards plenty of salt as the
best preventive of worms, whether in
horses or hogs, and that rubbing the backs
of hogs with mixture of one part of car
bolic acid and ten parts of water is the
best preventive of palsy, or dragging the

that sometimes appear on horses are

pear. No harm can come from the trial

Believe They Have the Sedalia Fiend.

SEDALIA, Mo-, March 7-Evidence
continues to accumulate against John
Davis, the negro coal-miner from Lewis,
as the party who assaulted Mrs. Charles
l.. Taylor in this city the 23d of Feb
ruary. Besides its being known posi-
lively that he was here the night the
crime was committed. it is now known
that he left here on a south bound
freight train on the Missouri, Kansas
81 Texas road about o'clock on the
morning of Feb. "a. When he left he
wore sideburns and mustache at the
time, but when he returned to Clinton
after the assault he was shaved clean
and his hair was cropped short. Davis
is bully and gambler and boasts of
many crimes almost as heinous as the
one he is wanted for. Sheriff Smith
received word from Detective Kinney
to-day in regard to the case, but de-
clines to give out anything for publica-
ton beyond the stat ment that Davis
is not yet in custody.

MEMORY.
Some Good Advice Which Every Young
Man Should Remember.

Man Should Remember
The following advice every young man
will do we'll to remember: A successful
business man SAYS there were two things
which he learned when be was eighteen.
which were afterward of great use to him,
namely, Never to lose anything, and
never 10 forget anything" An old law
yer sent him with an important paper,
with certain instructions what to do with
it. But inquired the young man,
suppose | lose lyon must not lose
It'll don't mean to-" said the young
man. "but suppose | should happen to?5
but | say you must not happen to. I
shall make no provision for such an occur
renee; you must not lose it,
This put new train of thought into
tie young mans mind, and he found that
if he was determined to do a thing, he
could do it. He made such a provision
against every contingency that he never
lost anything. He found this equally true
about forgetting. If certain matter of
Importance was to be remembered, he
pinned it down on his mind, fastened it
there, and made it stay. He used to say
When a man tells me that he forgot to
do something, | tell him he might as well
have said: 1 don't care enough about
your business to take the trouble to think
about IL again
l once had an intelligent young man in
my employm 9nt who deemed it sufficient
excuse for neglecting any important task
to say, II forgot it." l told him that
would not answer. if he was sufficiently
interested he would be careful to remem-
Der. 1t was because he did not care
enough that he forgot it. l drilled him
with this truth. He worked for ME three
years, and during the last of the three he
was utterly changed. He did not forget a
thing. His forgetting, he found, was a
lazy, careless habit of the mind, which he
cured.-American Grocer.

securities for sale to have them taken

Straw berry Beds.

The new strawberry bed should be
prepared as soon as the weather will per-
nit. The young plants should be set out
in the rows early, so as to get the benefit
of the spring rains. Dry winds and lack
OF moisture cause some of the plants to
perish, and the more growth made by the
the time the warm days shall come on,
the better both for runners and plants in
lows.

TurniDs,

Turnips need rich soil, but should not be
grown in contact with fresh manure. If
they do not grow rapidly they will be
stringy and of little value If planted too
