ceived letter which caused her some
surprise and considerable amusement.
1t was dated from next door, and was
handed in by the red-headed page after
breakfast
Dear Miss Ida," began this curious
document, and then relapsed suddenly
into the third person. "Mr Charles
WOetmacott hopes that he may have
the pleasure of ride with Miss Ida
Walker upon his tandem tricycle.. Mr.
Charles Westmacott will bring 1t round
in half an hour. You In front. Yours
very truly, Charles Westmacott." The
whole wa written in a large, loose
jolnted and schoolboylsh hand, very
thin on the UP strokes and thick on the
down, as though care and pains had
gone to the fashioning Of it.
Strange as was the form, the mean
ing was clear enough; so Ida FASTENED
to her room, and had hardly slipped on
her light grey cycling dress when she
saw the tandem with its large occupant
at the door. He handed her up to her
saddle with a more solemn and thought
full face than was usual with him, and
few moments later they were flying
along the beautiful, smooth suburban
roads in the direction of Forest Hill.
The great limbs of the athlete made the
heavy machine spring and culver with
every stroke; while the mignon grey
figure with the laughing face, and the
golden curls blowing from under the
little pink-banded straw hat, simply
held firmly to her perch, and let the
treadles whirl round beneath
her feet. Mile after mile
they flew, the wind beat
ing In her face, the trees dancing past
in two long ranks on either side, until
they had passed round Croydon and
were approaching Norwood once more
from the further side.

SaWdust,

The common objection to using saw
dust for bedding, that it is not good
thing to have it mixed with the ma
nure pile, does not apply to its use for
bedding for pigs. The pig is the most
clearly of all animals in not soiling
his bedding with his own excrement.
Sows with pigs will bunch up their
straw bedding and then lie on it so as
to destroy them. This they cannot do
when sawdust bedding is used, The
pigs are always clearly, and the saw
dust helps to keep them free from YER
min, which often attacks them where
straw bedding is used.

The Irish Patriot Jailed for Words Ho
Didn't Say.
A member of the Land league was
sent from Dublin to certain district to
get up meeting and make speech,
says the New York Journal.
On reaching the town where the meet
ing was to be held the speech.maker
met a friend, and, both being genial
fellows, they retired to public house
and had something. Then they began
talking over old-time "reminiscences,
and the first thing the land-leaguer
in to light the lamp.
Great goodness!" he said, IT was
sent down from Dublin to get up
meeting here and now it is too late"
"Oh, well, it doesn't matter" said the
other.
Yes, but 1t does matter" said the
organizer. Il have to report to my SUI
perior that the meeting was held"
"0h, that's all right" said his friend
Here, you write out speech and
will send 1t to the local papers, which
will print it just as If the meeting was
held. Then the people in Dublin won't
know the difference"
This was quickly done and the speech
that was never delivered appeared next
day in the papers.
The fun Of the thing comes in over
the fact that the Lacquer was arrested
and was sentenced to four months In

A useful domestic novelty has lately
been introduced in the shape of patent
asbestos stand for fiat irons. 1t is
made Of wood, and therefore, very
light, and has thick pad of asbestos
on which to place the iron. This as
bestos acts as jacket to the iron, and,
whilst preserving the face of the iron
clean and smooth, keeps in the heat
The labor of ironing is thus, it is
claimed, greatly reduced, as the irons
will remain hot for much longer
period than on the ordinary stand In
appearance the new stand is not un-
calmly, and it will probably find favor
with those who give it trial.

Poor Quality OF Prairie hay.

The scarcity of hay this year will
probably induce large importations
from the West The facility with which
hay may now be bailed and sent long
distances very cheaply has reduced
the quality very much, Much of the
Western hay is of poor quality, and If
feed has to be bought, it would be
well to buy grain, which is sure to be
cheap and let the hay alone. With
plenty Of grain which can be ground
and mixed with cut hay or straw there
is cheaper nutrition than can be found
in hay, especially if it has to be pur-
chased

DENVER, Sept. l0.-My journey from
Chicago was over the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad, one of the
best managed systems in the country,

the employees, the comfort eXpe-
rience. the excellence of it's roadbcd,
and the punctuality of arrival. I

Pork Made of Nuts.

The nut crop this year is said to be
very large in most sections of the
country. 1t can be made use of for
nuts that will not pay for picking, by
turning hogs into the woods and let
ting them harvest the crop. This was
often done when the country was new.
Pork made from nuts is very sweet,
but it is apt to be soft as the nuts are
oily. Feeding the pigs grain few weeks
toward the last hardens the pork, and
If the grain is not exclusively corn it
does not make it the less sweet and
toothsome.

An experiment with fertilizers is
more instructive when practiced on
the farm than at an experiment sta
ton. Five dollars expended on a
small plot of ground in the use of
fertilizers on selected crops or plants
will enable the farmer to learn facts
that may save him hundreds of dol
lars, as well as largely increase his
yields. The only way to break off
from old practices and improve, with
out mourning risk, is to experiment.

Not Shiftless. but Polite.

A Boston young man who once took a riding journey of five weeks in South Car olna speaks with enthusiasm of the po- liteness of tho farmers and other plain people with whom he stopped from timo to time. On one occasion he took dinner at a farmhouse and aftcrward sat upon the front porch, talking to his host and think ing to postpone his departure till tho cool of the evening.
 The southerner kept examining the sky as if apprehensive of storm and looked with dismay at his crops scattered over the fields, evidently fearing that they would bo ruined.
 "What a piece of southern shiftlessnossl" tho Bostonian said to himself. "This lazy fellow prefers gossiping to working, all though tho probability is that his crops will be ruined before nightfall!'
 After awhile, however, the idea came into tho northorncr' S head that perhaps his host felt it impolite to leave guest, and so sat asking the news from the north aud telling humorous anecdotes, while longing to get at his crops.
 No sooner did the traveller arrive at this possible explanation of his hosts conduct than he badc him a cordial but brief fare- well, sprang upon his horse and rode away.
 Turning in his saddle Q moment later, he saw his host with pitchfork in his hand flashing at full speed round the cor ner of tho house to the barn, that he might get out his horse and set to work. - Youths Companion.

Some of Queen Mary's Jewels.

When Elizabeth had her hearts desire when Mary's head had fallen on the block "a catalogue of her goods was made at Fotheringay on Feb 20, 15S6-7. We find "a little tablet of gold enameled, contain ing the picture of the king of Scots" Sir George Clerk of Penicuik possesses simi- lar gold case, enameled with very small miniatures of Mary and of her son, James VI. Miniatures of the French king and queen Mary had in blue enameled book of gold. "A little bird of gold, enameled green" is probably the parrot which we meet in an early inventory. There is an enameled boy (sometimes called Ia Gu pid') from happier days, her first hus- bands gift, with rubies, diamonds and great pearl. Her first husbands minia- ture, in an enamel case, was still with her, and gold and pearl martin also in the old inventories. A jewel in the form of a tortoise may be the rubbed tortue, the gift of David Rizzio. Several trinkets the queen bequeathed to Bastian Pagez, who was married on the night of Darnley's staying. There are altogether about 80 pieces of jewelry and objects of jewellers art, but of diamonds only two or three, and these small. Such were the jetsam of so many wreoks-wrecks of happiness, pow CT, even of good name and fame, sorrows wherein all was lost save courage and faith.-Andrew Lang in Good Words.
