Two young girls sat on the porcA
Of a seaside hotel, In which they hal
been guests all summer; near then
was a gentleman who had Just a.
rived.
There" said Miss Blank. There
go those lovers of for a stroll. 1t IL
said they are actually engaged iSo
absurd Both middle-aged; he Is a
pompous fool, and she is pockmarkld.
What a they see in each other?"
~They have been lovers since they
we're children" gently answered Miss
Case. "But she has devoted her lie
to nursing her mother, who has been
Ill for years with an ineurable disease
Now her mother is dead and they viii
soon be married"
Presently:
@Do look at those Wright s~lstersl'
cried Miss Blank. I'm sick OF The
sight of them. The elder sails alone
with that slow, majestic grace, asa
they were Of royal birth, and the
ugly little one trots after her-neYei
leaves her a minute. It's a wonder
it never occurs to her she may be- ia
the way when a pretty girl is talking
to a gentleman"
"Her sister does not think her In
the way" quietly said Miss Case.
"The reason she walks and moves
slowly Is because she is subject to ter
rlble attacks which are brought on by
rapid motion. Her sister never leaves
her, because If she were not there to
apply the remedies, the poor girl
would die. There never was q more
unseltish sacrifice of one life to an
other" she added warmly.
Her companion was silenced, but
only for a few minutes.
@There IS the s upid Miss Brown
going away! That is a relief When
women get to be al old aAd ugly ana
aninteresting as that they ought to
be kept out of sight OF their friends.s
Miss Case hesitated a momcnt
"Do you know that Miss Brown en-
gagged two rooms for the whole sea-
ION, and has kept them filed With
plor teachers and widows, and moth
srs with sick babies, not one OF whom
would have been able to leave home
but for her? She has given them
happiness and health, and perhaps
new life. / heard this from one 81
them-not from herself" she added
quickly.
And so on, and on, one seeing the
shadow In each character, the other
the bright side.
The newcomer keenly Inspected thu
faces of the two girls, as they rose
and passed him. Both were young
and pretty. But one was already
filled with discomfort, and with
mean, vulgar thoughts, while the
other turned on life eyes full Of &c.
rene ard joyful calm. Whatever theis
lot, one will ind only ydisap-
pointment Ia the world; but 10 the
other 1t will always be, as Charles
Kingsley says, full Of sweet aad'
noble souls"

Watched from the wharf a sailboat
seems an easy sort Of craft to man
Iice. The wind appears to do every
Thing. The casual guest Of a skilled
skipper likewise Is apt to think that
5 his host takes things so easy it
cannot be so very difficult to handle
b sailboat a3ter all. He regards the
warning Of experience as based on
the jealousy Of competition. Let
him who thinks sailing a science
which its followers try to represent as
hard to learn because they want to
keep it to themselves take a trick at
the helm once.
1t looks easy to keep the boat on
her curse. Your friend who takes
you out sailing barely touches the
tiiler once in a while. Some day he
hsks you to take the tiller while he
goes forward. He tells you to keep
that spire and that tall chimney in
line. You take the helm; you do
what you think you have seen him
do. The chimney and the steeple act
as II they were bewitched. They
positively will not come iuto line.
You observe In a knowing tone, ''She
doesn't seem to mind her helm"
But she is minding her helm, and
pretty soen you find out what 'Jib-
bling" means
Most Of the fatalities of summer
sailing are due to the man who thinks
sailing is easy; who is confident that
he knows all about 1t. In reality
many a sea captain who can handle
u big ship without diticulty does not
feel at Ease in command OF a sail

How Miss Up-to-Dats Shops.

The real fin de steele girl Is curious
production of the period Belonging
as she does to the Up-to-date family,
she is thoroughly independents, and en-
tirely self possessed. She is well edu-
Gated, not only IN book learning, nut
as well in all the domestic duties 70
say nothing Of her many accomplish
ments.
The girl known to us, has learned 70
cook in Conwell's Temple College, 70
trim hats and bonnets IN the Drezet
Institute, and how to draft, cut make
and trim gowns in the most approved
fashion in McDowelTs dressmak1ng
school, so now with the suggestive AID
of Reve, The French Dressmaker, ana
other high class magazines, she makes
herself look like a charming fashion
plate.
She not only knows how to make
garments, but she is as thoroughly
posted in the art of buying, that Is she
understands the nature and merits OF
materials and their prices, and b can
also tell you what, where and when 70
buy.
Our girl went down town not long
ago and came home full of facts and
settled some perplexing questions con-
corning the wearing of black; Grape she
learned from reliable authorities, is b
mourning material par excellence, and
Eudora is not Henrietta.
One Of her errands was to get velvet
enough to make swell sleeves and 10
further trim a dress of Lansdowne:
She bought Velutina, because she said
Velutina looks just like Lyons silk
velvet, wears much longer, and costs a
third less a yard. 1t comes in all the
colors of the season, as well as in neu-
trail tones and delicate tints, and now
ia used instead of velvet as trimming
and combining msterial, as well as to
form evening gowns and street suits:
A costume Of Velutina cord trimmed
with bands of Beaver fur, she thought
particularly stylish.
She also bought as I eralining for
her sleeves, and also for the inter-lining
of a jacket, a new material, bearing
the suggestive name Of fibre cnamois.
The most notable result of her days
investigation was the following letter,
written after consultation with her
father and mother, in regard to the
sum of money they could afford to
spend in replenishlng the family outfit.
1t shows she knew what she wanted and
how to ask for it, and as it 10 really
addressed to the largest dress goods
house in the world, it may prove sug-
gestive to others who find it nkzsSary
to make purchases by mail.

II is a futile hope to expect to
breed hornless cattle by the practice
of d~ishorning. There have been in-
stances in which an artificial PECULIAR
ity in the animal has become inherited.
but this is exceedingly rare and is NOT
to be taken as a rule for breeders.
Lambs have been docked for centuries,
but they still come into the world with
long tails. The only satisfactory way
to have a herd of pooled cattle is to
use a polled bull, and this, being in
conformity to the natural laws OF
breeding, may be depended on in time
to fix this character on the progeny.
1t may not be fully effective in the
first generation or in several, but ex-
perience has shown that in time the
character of the sires will be fixed on
the progeny in the end. For dairy
cattle the polled red Norfork will
make q good hornless sire. The
Scotch Aberdeen cattle are sometimes
excellent dairy animals. New York

SAPOL|O
HANGED HIS OWN FATHER.


a Peculiar and Touching Scene on q Gal
lows.
1t was a strange meeting of father
and son on the occasion Of the hang
Ing of old Bill Stebbens for the muir
der of his second wife at Spokane.
The murder was attrocious, the peo-
pie said, and there were few glanceS
of sympathy for the doomed man
among the morbidly curious stares OF
the little crowd that filed the jail
yard.
The Sherid's deputies had attended
to the details. The trap was set.
ready to be sprung and in an instant
send a man into the great beyond.
The moose had been made carefully
of the best hemp rope, creased with
tallow for that occasion. The pro-
cession had moved up the steps tn
the platform.
With business-like dignity the
Sheriff, who hid been notified, stepped
from his office, crossed the courtyard,
and mounted the scaffold with the
death warrant in his hand. He read
the document in a calm voice, as one
would a notice OF a sherlff's sale.
Throughout his trial, in the dark
hours after his sentence, through the
last night of life, and while viewing
curiously from his cell the rays Of the
last sunrise he would ever see on
earth, the victim of the law had been
stoically sullel. Emotion had never
shown itself in his face. He had
taken his fate phllosophically from
the first, making no defense,
saying nothing when the stern Judge
had given him an opportunity to be-
fore passing sentence. Few noticed
it, but it seemed as If a tear glistened
in his eye then. Addressing himself
to the Sheriff. he said in a suppressed
tone:
won't you shake hands, my boy,
before l go?"
The Sheriff did not hear him, or il
he did no n could have told it. He
was still the bu iness-like executive
officer OF the county in which he
lived; nothing more.
Al know l didn't treat you right
the condemned man continued, show
ing a trace Of excitement, ''nor your
mother either, but a word of com
fort to a man that's going to die isn't
much. Won't you say something?"
Twenty years of battling with the
| world on his own hook had hardened
the Sherif's heart. Silently he mo-
| toned the assistants to buckle the
straps, ADJUST the cap and tx the
moose.
Then with steady and unwaverinl
countenance he pressed the button
and sent his father into eternity. -

FExDrsa VALUE OF cREAM GLUTEN MEAL.

FEEDING VALUE OF CREAM GLUTEN MEAL.
The results of a series Of feeding
tests at the Vermont experiment sta,
ton with sugar meal, cream gluten
neal and germ feed speak very strong
~ in favor of the high feeding value
CT cream gluten meal. Two of the
c,ws ate it quite well, the other LETT a
good deal of it, but in spite of thisthe
cream gluten produces more milk than
fhe bran and corr in four cases out OF
six, makes a richer milk five times out
Of six and yields more butter fat every
time. The milk increases about one
twelfth, the richness of the milk in
creases a third of one per cent. and the
net gain is about one-sixth of the total
fat.
On a herd Of twenty COWS yielding
5000 pounds apiece of four per cent
milk with butter at twenty-five cents q
pound such an increase would repre-
sent $50 pounds of butter yearly with
value of $165.
The figures obtained show that not-
withstanding the fact that the sugar
meal was not eaten in so large quanti-
ties as the bran and corn, and tie
further fact hat what effect the change
to pasture had was against the sugsr
meal, yet it gave better returns tksn

of fat every time, and q richie. milk
four times out of five, producing cns-
ninth more milk, one-fiftieth richer
and one-seyenth more butter.
Not so good results were obta2Ie
with the germ feed. Its zee was tel
lowed by a decrease of mlik, an in
crease of richness and but slight change
in the totG.l amount of fat. 1t has then

It has apparently about the same feed.

either of these it follows that it should
DO an economical and profitable feed.
Mr. Cook is led to the conclusion
that germ feed has about the same feed
ing value as a mixture of equal parts
by weight Of wheat bran and corn meal;
that sugar meal and cream gluten meal
both have . higher feeding value than
the above, and that these latter also
hare a slight effect on the richness OF
the milk.

BEST CROP FROM DRILLED CORR.

For three years, says a New York
farmer in the Tribune, our drilled
corn has yielded from 106 to 100 bush.
els of ears per acre, whereas we got
but seventy-iYe to 100 by the check.
row method. The extra yield is due
to there being more stalks; you can
have four to six stalks to every three
feet of drill, and they ear as well as
three to four stalks put in q checkrow
clump. We pillow the ground in the
fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good
stable manur per acre early in the
spring, 81 the strength of the manure
will be partly washed into the soil te-
fore planting. Harrow same as for
any crop. Set the drill to SOW frcm
81 to 81 quarts per acre, according to
size and variety of corn. But the
safest way to set the drill is to pull
the rubber hose out of the hoe and let
the corn run on top of the ground, and
set it SO it will run from four to six
kernels every three feet of drill to
run it any thicker is waste of time,
seed and fertilizer, as it will have to
be thinned.
OF fertilizer drill in 200 pounds
with the corn; the fertilizer box
should be partitioned off or the extra
runs covered with thin pieces OF board,
or less phosphate may run in with the
corn and clear wood ashes used (by
those not wishing to buy much fertil-
izer) in the runs each side of the one
used for the corn; then there will bd
no danger of injury to the seed. Per-
IONS DESTROYS of planting pumpkins
with the corn may do SO by mixing the
seed with the fertilizer that runs in
with the corn. If the drill does not
run the corn deep enough hang light
weights to the hoes used. l agree
with Waldo +. Brown that seed-corn
should be thoroughly dried by artifi,
cial heat and hung in a dry place;
such seed will germinats one to three
days quicker and grow stronger, and
is not SO liable to rot during any cold,
wet spell alter planting.
