CHAPTER XIX.

A FINANCIAL lNNkbTldAIlON AND DhfU-
TATION OF LADIES.
As Alec thought about the advertise
ment and an assistant for 'Lisbeth, IL
flashed across his mind one day that
here was a chance for Maud. 1t had
troubled him to think that such good
girl should lead such confined life, and
that, too, at the hands Of her mother.
But would her mother let her go' Or
would she come without her mothers
consent? What penalty had been visited
ON her for that visit Of his which he
still recalled with peculiar pleasure. He
had kept the dollar bill as sort Of re-
msmbranoe Of her. and now he was in.
clined to think be had hurt her feelings
BY returning 1t in the first place. he
should have found some more delicate
way.
In his delight At the idea he had con-
ceived he wanted to write to her at once
and ask her il she would come But he
decided to wait until things were more
settled in relation to the financial stand.
ing Of the store 'Lisbeth refused to take
any step whatever until the books were
examined and they knew Just where they
stood. Alec was impatient with her and

CalifOrnla's State Printing Office Closed for
Lack Of Present Funds.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. s6.-The
pressmen employed in the state print
ing Office have quit work and re-
fuse to go back. They say they
have received no wages for six weeks
and they see no prospect of getting
any. The state printer, accordingly,
has closed down the entire plant and
the legislature will be unable to trans
act any business until the pressmen
and printers 60 back to work. The
real cause of the trouble is the veto by
Gov. Budd of bill appropriating S75,.
900 for the use Of the state printing
office.

HOW TO TREAT FLOWERS.


Preserve Them According to the Mature
Of the Plant.
Those who wish to enjoy the whole
Of the short life of their cut flowers in.
stead Of only small portion of II will
not settle down upon any one undeviat.
ing method Of preserving them, but
will rather vary 1t, according to the diff.
ferent causes which lead to their decay.
Take, for instance, the flowers Of q
succulent nature, like the iris. The
stems, when put into water, slough
away and soon give forth an unpleasant
odor. There are two remedies which
may be applied in this case. Either one
should put q mild disinfeotant in the
water and frequently change it or.cut
off the ends of the stalks at short inter-
walls.
Another flower whose stem most rap
IDLY decays and corrupts the water is
mignonette, and it is often best, there
fore, to sacrifice it while its head is still
freshly green. Heliotrope, like mignon-
cite, should always be put in water by
itself, for it not only fades and turns
brown rapidly, but it will kill almost
any flower put with it,
The cause Of decay in hard wooded
plants like the azalea and camelia is
that they do not take up enough water,
not that they have any tendency to pol
lutte it, so that to cut their stalks fire.
quently would be Of little avail. But if
when putting such flowers in vase or
bowl You make sure that the lowest
leaves attached to the blossoms are I'M.
der water the effect is magical.
Ferns, and especially maidenhair, are
very short lived when they have to look
to the stem alone for nourishment, and
the most effectual way to preserve them
is to see that the lower part Of every
frond is we'll under water. Out flowers
require az q rule far greater quantity
Of water than is given them.
Flowers should always be placed in
water as soon ~ possible after being
picked. When received by post in q
somewhat wilted condition, an imme-
diate plunge into hot water with lit
tie sal volatile will accomplish wonders
in the way Of reviving them.
And if you wish to wear flowers in
your hair or on your corsage, they may
be made to retain their freshness for an
entire evening by putting bit Of seal.
ing wax over the ends.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
60 long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children i'll
affiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned

AnImnroved Cow Stall.

I herewith inclose sketch of my
form Of cow stall. In many respects 1t
Is similar to those Of my neighDors,
while in some features think 1t an I'M
provement. The breast-board directly
under the cows neck is made shallow
(six inches), while at the ends 1t is
made wide so that the cut feed cannot
be so easily rooted out by the cows.
The front, which also serves the pur-
pose of rack, is made Of No. wire, ex-
cept single two by eight oak scant-
ling, which runs horizontally with the
wires about three feet from the floor
with five wires equally spaced below
and three above scantling. The wire
should be made tense by using on each
wire a ratchet. The scantling should
be blocked out two-thirds of it's width
and let in on each post, which will
serve as stay or brace when drawing
the wires.

A Defense of Cash Rent.

There is Il great cutlery among farm
renters against cash rents just now,
says the Fort Dodge Messenger, but
the system of cash rents is a better
one for both tenants and landlords
than system of grain rents. The cash
rents are sometimes too high, but it
would be better for the landlord to
reduce them than to go back to grain
rent. That means no stock and every
thing to be sold off the place. 1t is the
wrong system Of farming for Iowa.
There should be stock on the place to
save the rough feed, which on a grain
rented farm goes entirely to waste.
Farming in that fashion cannot pay
and ought not to pay, for 1t is a crime
against bountiful nature to waste her
offerings to man.

Laundry Hints.

Much of the shrinking and discolora-
ton Of flannels is caused by hot water,
hot irons, and the application to the
wet fannels. The garments should be
looked over, and soiled spots rubbed
with soap before wetting. Make warm
suds, and add tablespoonful Of am
monia to gallon of water. Squeeze
the garments with the hands, and rinse
in water of the same temperature as
the first, until clean. If colored, add
white vinegar to the water, to set the
color. After wringing, shake well, and
draw into shape. Dry as quickly as
possible. The garments should be
pressed while still damp, with warm
iron, until perfectly dry. Under this
treatment old fiannels will keep as soft
as new ones.
AS time passes there is less starch
used in the laundry Some of the old
time starched garments were about as
comfortable and comedy as n coat of
mail Skirts, Of course must have
some starch though they never should
be so stiff as to rattle, and table-linen
irons much better if it has just sug
gestion of starch; though just when
the suggestion has reached the limit,
most laundresseS seem unable to de-
termine.

Carefully prepare calf's liver, and
lard it thickly over the top, with the
lardoons sufficiently large to fill good
sized Harding needle. Into the bottom
of the baking-pan put small onion
sliced, carrot sliced, stick Of celery
cut into pieces, two bay leaves, sprig
Of parsley, four cloves and teaspoon
full of pepper corns. If without the lat
ter, use the ordinary ground pepper,
but only one-quarter the quantity.
Place liver on top of these; add one
quart of boiling water, in which you
have dissolved teaspoonful Of salt.
Cover the pan with another of the same
size; bake in quick oven one hour,
basting every fifteen minutes. Remove
the upper pan and bake thirty minutes
longer. Serve with brown sauce made
from the liquor in the pan.-Ladies,

The Fork Is 900 Years old.

BY the way, 1t is just about 900 years
ago since the fork made its appearance
in Europe. In 900 A. ID. son of the
doge, Pietro Orsolo, had welded in
Venice the BriZzantine Princess Argila,
who produced at the wedding break
fast silver fork and gold spoon. Then
the high Venetian family followed suit,
and these martyrs to fashion pricked
their lips with the new instrument.
The fork prospered, however, and
spread over Italy. III 1879 it had tray
eled as far as France, and in zoos a
traveller brought it direct to England

eighths-inch iron rod, which runs from
the horizontal scantling to the bottom
Of the trough, one-half inch from wires,

auger hole at bottom. This is much
better than fastening at side of stall.
The cow can lie on either side, can lick
herself, or lie with her head on her side
and still be unable to get far from
her proper place. The best fastening
is strap left permanently about the
cows neck with a ring sewed on strap.
Then with snap on the end Of chain,
one can fasten or unfasten the cows

Good Luck with Hogs.

A farmer Of Clay County, South Da-
kota, has had remarkably good luck
with hogs the past season, while all
around him his neighbors have been
losing their swine in great numbers
from cholera, while this man has ne
lost one. He attributes his success to
alfalfa, which he feeds the year round.
Early in the spring he sows fifteen
acre lot to this grain and let's it grow
to a height of foot or more, when the
hogs are turned in. Another field is
sown for winter use, which Is cut and
fed like so much hay. 1t acts like a
tonic and is great laxative.
