Two young girls sat on the porch
Of seaside hotel, in which they had
been guests all summer; near them
was gentleman who had just ar
rived.
There" said Miss Blank. There
20 those lovers of for stroll. 1t is
said they are actually engaged! So
absurd! Both middle-aged; he is a
pompous fool, and she is pockmarked.
What can they see in each other?"
"They have been lovers since they
were children" gently answered Miss
Case. "But she has devoted her life
to nursing her mother, who has been
i'll for years with an incurable disease
Now her mother is dead and they will
soon be married"
Presently:
"Do look at those Wright sisters.7
cried Miss Blank "I'm sick Of the
sight Of them. The elder sails along
" tn that slow, majestic grace, as If
they were of royal birth, and the
ugly little one trots after her-never
leaves her a minute. It's wonder
it never occurs to her she may be in
the way when pretty girl is talking
to 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
rible 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 a more
unselfish sacrifice of one life to an
other" she added warmly.
Her companion was silenced, but
only for few minutes.
"There is the s.upid Miss Brown
going away! That is a relief! When
women get to be as old and ugly and
laninteresting as that they ought to

Miss Case hesitated a moment.
"Do you know that Miss Brown en-

would have been able to leave home
but for her? She has given them
happiness and health, and perhaps
new life. l heard this from one OF
them-not from herself" she added
quickly.
And so on, and on, one seeing the
shadow in each character, the other
he bright side.
The newcomer keenly inspected the
faces Of the two girls, as they rose
and passed him. Both were young
and pretty. But one was already
filed with discontent, and with
mean, vulgar thoughts, while the
other turned on life eyes full of Sc
rene and joyful calm. Whatever theil
future lot, one will find only disap
pointment in the world; but to the
other it will always be, as Charlie:

PLANTING YoU15 TREES.

have been bought at nursery, and
especially if they have been trans.

The chaff of grain is Natures way
of protecting seed between the time
it falls to the ground and that for it
to grow again. Now that grain is
stored in barns or stacks the chaff is
scarcely less necessary. 1t is often
noted in threshing damp grain that
the.straw may be almost rotted where
the band went around the bundle yet
the grain will shell out with little
apparent injury.

Peculiar and Touching Scene on Gal
lows.
It was 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 Sheriff'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
taIlow for that occasion. The pro-
cession had moved up the steps to
the platform.
With business like dignity the
Sheriff. who ID been notified, stepped
from his Office, crossed the courtyard,
and mounted the scafold with the
death warrant in his hand. He read
the document in calm voice, as one
would a notice of a sheriff's sale.
"Throughout his trial, in the dark
hours after his sentence, through the
! last night of life, and while viewing
cur GU sly from his cell the rays of the
last sunrise he would ever see on
earth, the victim OF the law had been
stoically sullci. Imotion had never
shown itself in his face. He had
taken his fate rhilosophically 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 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 go:"
The Sheriff did not hear him, or il
he did no one could have told it. He
was still the bu iness-like executive
officer of the county in which he
lived; nothing more.

the condemned man continued, show
ing trace OF excitement, 'nor youl
mother either, but a word of com
fyrt 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 Sheriff's heart. Silently he mo-
toned the assistants to buckle the
straps, ADJUST the cap and fix the
!. moose.
Then with steady and unwaverins
countenance he pressed the buttor
and sent his father into eternity. -

IN OLDEN TIMES

People overlooked the importance of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient action, but now
that it is generally known that Syrup
of Figs will permanently cure habitual
constipation, well informed people will
not buy other laxatives, which act for a
time, but finally injure the system.

BEST cRoP FROM DRILLED CORN.

FOR three years, says n New York
farmer in the Tribune, our drilled
corn has yielded from 106 to $50 bush
els of ears per acre, whereas We got
but seyenty-tiye to 100 by the cheek
row method. The extra yield is due
to there heinz more stalks; you can
have four to SIX sstlals to every tIrse
feet of drill, and they ear as well as
three to four stalks put in a checiirow
clump. We plow the ground il the
fall, draw ten to twelve loads of good
stable manure per acre early in the
spring, so the strength CT the manure
will be partly washed into the soil le-
fore planting. Harrow same as for
any crop. Set the drill to SOW frcm
s! to 81 quGr,s 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, AMI

FEEDING VALUE OF CREA1G GLUTEN MEAL.
The results of a series of feeding
tests at the Vermont experiment So
ton with sugar meal, cream gil-el
neal and germ feed spes& very strong
IL in favor of the high feeding va,ua
Cf cream gluten meal. Two of TIA
COWS ate it quite well, the other let a
good deal of it, but in spite of this me
cream gluten produces more milk thGn

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
let gain is about oue-sixth of the total
fat.
On herd of twenty COWS yielding
5000 pounds apiece of four per cent.
milk with butter at twenty-five cents a
pound such an increase would repre-
sent $50 pounds of butter yearly with
value ot $l65.
The figures obtained show that not.
withstsnding the fact that the sugar
meal WAS not eaten in so large quaint
! ties as the bran and corn, and tas
! further fact that what effect the change
to pasture had was against the sugar
| meal, yet it gave better returns thEc
| the bran and corn. In the five trials
! ii produced more milk and more pounds
of fat every time, and ricAs:: milk
, four times out of five, producing cns-
ninth more milk, one-iftieth richer
and one-seventh more butter.
Not so good results were obta.ne |
with the germ feed. Its rse was til
| lowed by decrease OF mix, sn in
crease of richness and but slight change
in the tot;,I amount of fat. 1t has then
considerably less feeding value than
the cream of gluten meal and the sugar
| meal, rs one would naturally expect
from its composition and market price.
| It has apparently about the same feed
| ing value pound for pound as the mix
| lure of bran and corn, and as it can bo
purchased in the market for less than.
! either of these it follows that it should
j lee AN economical and profitable feed.
| sir. Cook IS led to the conclusion
that germ feed has about the same feed
, ing value as 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 abova, and that these latter also
have slight effect on the richness of
the milk.
Finally, it should be remembered
that this is but slight series of trials
and that the work needs to be repeated
! several times before sure conclusion
! can be drawn.
1t is necessary here to utter a word
of caution in regard to the use of these
concentrated feeds, sugar meal and
especially cream gluten meal. They
nre both exceedingly rich concentrated
feeds, and like cottonseed meal should
be fed sparingly. Three or four pounds
day OF sugar meal per COW is as much
as it is safe to give, while with cream
glusen meal the limit of two pounds
i,er day per COW should not be exceed.
