suppose she's making off with what her
thieving old father didn't steal from the
bank"
Dacre passed the unjust insinuation
by unheeded. That phase of the case
would help his own side of affairs.
Prejudice for Flora would initiate
against any effort she made to accuse
her fathers cashier of crime.
'And the driver?" he queried sharply.
''Oh, him! He had on great coat,
and SLOUGH hat drawn down we'll over
his eyes, and drove so fast I could not
make him out"
Arnold Dacre turned from the spot
with darkening brows. Who was the
mysterious coachman-this strange un-
known who possessed the secrets of the
bank, who knew just how and when to
act in the interests of the dead bankers
daughter? Whittier had he removed the
one living witness to the crime of the
cashier?
In an agony of suspense, Dacre hur-
ried to the nearest livery stabl He or
dered it's swiftest horse, and once
mounted dashed down the road that led
to the city like one mad. At every road
tavern and farm house he halted-of
every passing pedestrian he made the in
cessant nquiry--had they seen a close
carriage and team of graYs? No, was
the invarable reply. Once free of the
town, the flying vehicle and its occu-
pants had disappeared as effectually as
though the earth had opened and swal-
lowed them up.
A man, making slow, limping progress
with the aid of cane. shambIed out of
the horseman'S way as he dashed past at
break meek speed.
1t was John Wharton's pensioner, the
paralytic, Tom Cupples, bent an his mis-
sion of secrecy. He stared strangely at
Dacre; he was about to call after him,
but he remembered orders, and
plodded on. The excited schemer
little dreamed that the toiling cripple
upon whom he had barely bestowed a
glance, was bearing away to hiding the
precious packet he had entrusted to the
keeping of the old bank clerk, only a
few hours agone.

Select Your Grass Seed.

We read every day how to improve
the quality of our corn and other seed
plants by carefully selecting the very
best seed to plant. Any tyro in
farming knows that is very impor-
tant. Why not do the same with
our timothy, clover. and other grasses
In passing through any field of tim
othy or clover one is sure to observe a
great difference in the strength of
growth as we'll as in the length OF
the heads in different stools of the
same grass. 1t would not be diff
cult thing to do to go through the
field and select few quarts Of the
most promising seed. Boys, here is
a chance for you to do little intelli-
gent brain work on the farm. Coax
your father to give you the use of
Quarter-acre of ground next season.
Select the finest heads of timothy
you can find until you have enough
to seed it. Then select the finest
and longest heads from that the next
year and see if you cannot secure a
much better quality Of timothy than
the old farm ever produced before.
1t is a fine piece OF work to do, and
there are lots of smart boys who can
do it, too.

Clover.

The farmers of the Middle States
are accustomed to speak of clover
seed as the cheapest fertilizer they
can use. 1t is Careful experiments
have been made, showing that an
acre of very good clover sod contains
within six inches of the surface near
ly 81 tons Of clover roots, which
would contain nearly 100 pounds of
nitrogen, fifty pounds Of potash, and
more than twenty-five pounds OF
phosphoric acid While not much
New England soil would grow such
clover, yet the half of that amount
would be a liberal manuring, and
farmers who will SOW cloyerwith their
spring grain and grass seed, or upon
the grass which was soWn last fall,
need have but little fear of their
fields running out if the clover gets a
good hold. 1t will also pay to sow
some of the thin places in the old
meadows, first scratching them with
light harrow, to allow the seed to
reach the earth. Sow upon a light
snow. or after the snow has gone and
the ground is soft with the coming
out of the frost. The spring rains
will carry the seed down to the
ground, and it will terminate and
take root if the soil is good enough.
Thus a welcome addition may be
made to this years hay crop, and at
the same time the soil may be made
richer for other crops.

= Cheap White SpOnges.

It is we'll to be economical, but there
is no economy in buying certain articles
because they are offered at low prices.
Attention has frequently been called, for
instance, to the white sponges which
are offered for sale by street peddlers
and at cheap fancy-goods shops. To
begin with, they are not what they are
represented to be, namely, fine sponges.
On the contrary, they are very coarse,
as rule, their high color being due to
liberal use of chloride of lime. There
would be no harm in this artificial
bleaching process were the salt entirely
washed out of the sponge by soaking it
in clear water or by solution of anti
chlorine. But this is not done, as your
nose will tell you, and the result has
been that people who have used the
sponges for toilet purposes have been
affected with infiamed and smarting
eyes. Concerning the use of chloride
of lime by these dealers in cheap
sponges, story is told by New York
a necessary process, because of the pre-
vious uses to which they have been de-
washing wounds on hospital pa
tients, and other nameless, but imagin-
able service. It is difficult to believe
that the hospital authorities would
permit sponges once used by them
to be disposed of at any price. But
the sale of them by thoughtless, if
not unprincipled, servants1 could easily
be effected without the knowledge of
the supervisors of hospital. Even if
they are not sold by servants, they may,
sooner or later, reach the rag-picker's
hook, and from that pass to the bleach
kettle. The place to put them where
they will do the least harm is the boiler
furnace.

go prepared to bring forward a single

the meeting an interesting one. Oc-

When the cape worm becomes es-

worm is soon removed. One plan is
to introduce some liquid substance in
the throat that will kill the worm, or
cause 1T to loosen it's hold upon the
membrane of the throat. For this
purpose, kerosene or turpentine are
the common remedies, being applied
with feather which is dipped in the
liquid. The chickens mouth is held

quantity is large enough to prevent
them from becoming thoroughly cool,
yet large enough to remain in that
condition, while small boxes or bar

every mild change of atmosphere.
In using large boxes it is difficult to
get the fruit cool throughout.

Sixty Niles of Locusts.

The steamer Wnncbah had IL most un-
usual experience when steaming between
the attitudes of Cape Verde and St. Louis,
Senegal. For GO miles the vessel steamed
through locusts, which were so thickly
packed together OH the top Of the water
that they completely covered the surface
for miles around; indeed they appeared to
be lying on the sea rs far as the eye could
reach. The locusts had no doubt been
blown from the Morocco coast into the sea.
They resembled gigantic grasshoppcrs, and
one which was secured was five inches in
length. OF course all of the locusts haf
been drowned.
