Aunt Julia, who, extravagsnt woman,
owned two summer cottages elsewhere,
but who so greatly preferred this big,
jolly, lovely hotel on Cliff Isle that
she had come hither for two entire
seasons, bringing her fnvorite niece
with her. And this summer her fa-
vorite niece had met Stanley Mayhem,
been loved by him, loved him and
promised to be his wife.
Nettie sat in the corner Of q great
soft sofa in the long parlor, thinking
her happy thoughts. Only thres
months but how well they knew each
| other nowl
Stanley came down from the city
every night, and every Sunday for all
day, and how her contented mind
teemed with sweet tmemories-of moon
light strolls on the sandy shore; OF
quiet hours on q rustic bench on the
hill; of grabbing and fishing in his
little skiff; Of long talks, only bright
and friendly at first, then something
more; of the moment when he had
spoke, and she had yielded her full
trust to him; of the blessed two week.
| vince then.
She had written to her mother and
she had told her Aunt Julia; and she
wondered if she ought not to tell
Eleanor Wells. Why hadn't she?
Eleanor and she were chums, and
Eleanor was an old friend Of Stanley's
family in the city, and was tho one
girl beside herself to whom Stanley paid
any attention. Was she, perhaps, Just
the least mite jealous Of that old friend
ship, and of Stanley's frank sdmira-
ton of Eleanor? Was it because OF
that lurking little doubtfulness that
she had not confided her happiness to
Eleanor?
Nettie was ashamed of the feeling.
OF course he admired . handsome,
clever, charming girl. He himself
had introduced them, and wanted
them to be friends, as they were. It
was herself whom he loved. Was not
that enough for her? Did it not seem
20 fill her world with radience?
! She would go and find Eleanor thi,
minute and tell her. She would tell
how she almost wondered that hs had
| not chosen her instead; and thew
would laugh together-probablyc cry a
ittle-and have good talk.
She must hurry. It was after sever
o'clock now, and he would be down on
the eight o'clock boat tonight, hs had
told her, because he had little extra
work at the office. She would Just
have time, when she had seen Eleanor,
to get into her prettiest gown for him.
She rose, smiling and flushing, and
went tripping down the long room,
humming a gay air.
A huge, gilt-framed mirror was a,
the end of it. She stopped suddenly,
in the act of passing it.
He had comel There he was, JUS,
entering the farther door of the parlor.
Eleanor Wells was with him.
Nettie stood waiting, her eyes fast
ened on the mirror which refected
them.
The moment she stood there seemed
to her an eternity. Her smile faded,
q quiver passed over her, and her face
took on a marble GOODNESS; for she had
seen Stanley Mayhem stoop over Flea
nor Wells-seen her raise her pretty,
graceful head, and seen their lips
meet.
Herself they had not seen. Poo,
Nettie! She turned away. Her
trembling hasds were clasped 90 tight.

They never made bigger mistake.
70 sell well all kinds of food must be
tempting to the eye. Cleanliness is
the first thing to be considered, and
for this reason many of the eggs must
be washed. The next point is the uni
formity of color, which is attained by
keeping certain breeds that lay eggs
Of the same color. In this connection
it is we'll to find out the color in
demand, as some markets require
brown eggs, while in others the white
re preferred.
Finally, the eggs should be sorted
according to size. All housekeepers
ieel themselves cheated if they find one
OF more small eggs among their pur-
rhases. For this reason small eggs
should not be mixed with those OF the
usual size. On the other hand, un-
commonly large ones should also be
laid aside. They are equally objec-
t'onable, as they tend to make the 9TH
ers appear small by comparison. At

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the Or
gans and tissues of tho body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure
or insufficient, they are in state of re-
volt. Their complaints arc made to the
brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result of
the general dissatisfaction is what We
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact IS
proven by the voluntary statements OF
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

WINTER STORAGE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS.

>1NlEh SIOHAtE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Upon storing farm implements in
proper condition depends, in no small
degree, the success of farming, writes
J. NJ Stahl, of Illinois. Tho man who
provides dry, airy shelter for farm
tools and machines. and puts them in
it when they are not in use, has done
a wise and profitable thing; but he
may have done only half of what he
might and should do for the preserva-
ton and good work of his tools and
machines. He should also put the
tools and machines away in good con-
dition. This includes freedom from
dirt. The plow, for example, put
away coated with mud will rust and
rot, though in good shelter; and such
q coating is yet more harmful to the
delicate parts of machines. Though
bright and steel surfaces are clean
they will probably rust unless coated
with oil in some form; and to be sure
that even clean wood does not rot one
must coat it with paint or oil. For
coating metal surfaces coal oil or beef
tallow is good. OF course the tallow
should be applied in liquid condition.
1t will pay to coat rough but unpainted
metal surfaces as well as polished ones,
For farm tools and machines mineral
paint is better than artificial pigments,
and brown mineral paint is very cheap
indeed. Anyone ought to be able 10
mix it-use only boiled linseed oil,
and the best is certainly the cheapest !;
or one can buy ready-mixed paints OF
good quality at reasonable prices.
One should have two brushes-a large
one for ordinary surfaces and small
one for narrow surfaces or small
corners. 1t is advisable to put away
all tools and machines in condition for
work-plows, hoes, harrows or sickles,
sharp and with all breaks repaired and
weak parts strengthened. There will
be more time for this at the close than
at the beginning of the seasons work
and then one has the comforting as
surance that rs soon as the season per-
mits he may begin work. When one
puts away the implements just as they
leave the field, it is often found that it
mas been forgotten that some must be
nended and others sharpened, and
his is not recollected until they are
brought out for work; then valu-
able time must be lost in going to the
blacksmith.

MPoRTANcE OF THOROUGHLY CLEANED Sea
It takes but little while longer to
run the seed grain through the fam
ning-mill a second time, and those
who have not tried it will be surprised
ut the amount of foul stuff and light
grain that will be cleaned out. The
light grain and small kernels are far
better for feeding purposes than for
sowing with the expectation that they
will give as great an increase as the
kernel that is plump and we'll matured.
safe rule to go by in cleaning seed
grain is to use little coarser screen,
that all the small kernels may be taken
out, and run the mill at little higher
speed than usual that all light and
false kernels may be blown out. OF
course none of this refuse grain is lost,
but may be used for feeding chickens
Or other animals. Guard particularly
against sowing weed seed of any kind.
Better go twenty miles after pure,
clean seed than SOW seed contaminated
with foul stuff. f.-American Agricultur

THE POPPIES IN THE CORN
When the mist in pearly columns
Rises DER the hilltops gray,
And the dews OF early dawninS
In the grasses melt away,
Then the sun in sortenej splendor
Sheds his first rays thro' the morn,
20, they kiss the sleepy faces
OF the poppies in the corr
Der the scene there falls silence,
All the twittering song-birds still;
as the lark, his far flight taking,
Circles toward the distant hill,
Up and upward, flies triumphant,
Earth-bred warbler, heaven-born,
Till a song steals down from cloudland
Der the poppies in the corn.
Slowly comes the hush OF noontide,
Not leaf sways on the trees.
Not dew-irop on the grasses,
Not the whisper OF n breeze,
CLOVIS the sun in scorching fury,
One wee butterfly foriorn,
Painting, falls In dying struggles
On the poppies in the corn.
Soft breeze comes rustling over,
Signing thro' the cedars tall,
Stirs the grapes in hanging clusters
On the mold'ring wine-clad wall,
Sinks the sun In amber glory,
Dies the day as night is born,
One wee star peeps through the twilight,
At the poppies in the corn.
