somehow the sky, the sea, spoke to her,
glorious voiced, and for the.first time it
came home to her how priceless, no
matter under what condition, is the boon
of existence. For years she had prayed
passionately for death, for its peace and
loveliness-the shining reverse OF that
shield which had showed to her black as
night-for to her life was death and
death life. She came back with start
to herself as Will disappeared, and the
silvery radiance was plunged in dark
ness as her fathers voice said:
"At Q, Hagar; be ready by .. The
woman does not return till tomorrow
morning. There will be no interruption
this time"
She turned her head away, and her
face was gray. No, there was no one 70
interrupt. No one in earth or heaven.

The PROPER EVENING TIE.-The
proper thing in evening ties, English
authorities say, is plain piece of linen
tape an inch wide and of rather course
texture. The material comes on reel
or spool containing many yards. 1t
needs no making up, the wearer simply
cutting of piece loug enough to circle
his collar and make bow knot. When
properly tied the result is an extremely
neat and substantial looking bow, and
one that is pronounced more satisfac-
tory in every way than the fimsy mus
lin things commonly worn.
a New Yorker, who is particular
about such details and had discovered
the tape tie while abroad. recently
made search for it in that city. He
was able to find only single tie that
at all resembled the kind for which he
was looking, and that was the last of q
dozen lot sent over from England by
mistake. But while it was of the
sought-for material, it was of the
.'made-up" kind that is tabooed.

WooDLAWN FARMERS CLUB.

The January meeting of the Wood
lawn Farmers Club was held at the
residence of Courtland Lukens on the
18th instant, President Harrison in the
chair Minutes of last meeting read
and approved.
The committee appointed to confer
with our representatives in the legisla-
ture in relation to the proposed new
road law, reported as the result of their
conference that no general law had been
introduced in either branch at that
time. The secretary had been request
ed by President Harrison to write Sec
retary Anderson, of the State Good
Roads Association, for information on
the subject, and the result thereof was
the receipt from him of a letter and
copy 9f the proposed new law, which
had been presented to the committee
on counties, cities and towns of the
General Assembly on the 1lth inst,
both of which were read. Secretary
Anderson in his letter expressed the
hope that the bill would meet with the
approval Of the club. Considerable
discussion of the bill followed wherein
some thoughtit unwise to add any more
to the duties of the supervisors, and
Mr.. Ballard's suggestion in late issue
ofthe Fairfax Herald of q separate road
board, was approved of. Some thought
there vas great danger of our falling
into the hands ofincompetent engineers,
others that the times were very un-
propitious for any Increase of taxation
for any purpose, so finally the follow
ing was adopted as nearly representing
the views of the club members.
1t is the sense of this club that we
need a better road law and the one un-
der consideration is step in the right
direction with proper amendments to
make it practical and effective, and if
left optional with counties when they
shall adopt it then we favor it.
Mr.. Hine, who is member of the
committee on legislation of the State
Good Roads Association, gave much in
terestiug information about the opera
tions of that body and stated that the
New Jersey Legislature had invited the
association, the Governor and the COM
mittees of the Virginia Legislature that
were considering this bill to visit New
Jersey and inspect some of the roads
there before action was taken in the
matter, which invitation had been ac-
cepted, the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
having rendered them free transporta-
lion.
A sample of corn fodder called "corn
hay" was shown by James W. Roberts,
made by the keystone fodder shredder,
and which was being shipped from the
West in bales and sold at IS per ton.
This drew out considerable talk about
husking and cutting corn fodder by
machinery and there seems to be
growing tendency to adopt this plan in
view of its manifest advantages in the
handling of the fodder, the prevention
of waste, etc.
The next meeting will be held at the
residence of Lewis Gillingham on the
22d of February. w. GILLINGHAM,

A False DIAGNOSIS.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
yiduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages and
in fact, are incapacitated for work OF any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases The
remedy viii give instant relief.
