the lottery hogy.
While sleeping he had curious dream.
lie dreamed that beautiful woman,
whose garments were Of costly gold emf
broidery, which shimmcred all over with
precious stones, was smiling md beckon-
ing to him. In one hand She held
printed slip of paper, which he. easily rec
0gnized as the prospectus of the Hamburg
state-lcgaliZed lottery. In the left hand
she displayed an illuminated card. on
which the number I4,563 was printed.
Gradually all the surroundings Of this
beauteous vision became indicative of
wealth and splendor, and Henry Dean
held his breath in awe Mt the magnificcnce
of all he saw. Presently the figure faded
slowly away, but before she disappeared
she held the illuminated number to his
face and whispered unsteady: stake
your all on No. 44,563."
How Henry Dean got through his du-
ties the next day he hardly knew, for his
thoughts were full Of the dream number
and all his calculations were mixed up
with tho figures 4. 4. >, g., 3. lie was also
possessed by q frantic determination to
secure money wherewith to buy ticket

Before the day was over he solved the
problem. He embcz2led enough money
to buy three or four whole tickets and
trusted TO repay by means of his winnings
before his theft was discovered.

Bishop Coleman Sees Them in Some Results

Bishop Coleman delivered lecture
last week in tho parish room of tho
Church uf ST. Michael and All Angels,
Baltimore. His subject wns the last
Lambeth conference, and he gave much
interesting information regarding that
great church gathering.
bishop Coleman said he had heard a
great deal of criticism upon the fact
That the bishops letter, iesueh by the
conference. paid more attention TO the
Greek than the Latin communion.
There ia a reuson for this, said ne.
1.-THE bishop of Rome practically shut
the door in our faces, 50 to speak.
while the authorities Of the Greek
Church seemad anxious To get into
closer touch with and TO know more of
the Anglican Church. Ii WAS even
suggeate(l that Chriatian fellowship
might ensue by which, under certain
circumstances. the rites Of the Angli-
can communion might be administered
to those in the Creek faith. Tho signs
OF tho times seemed 10 indicate TO our
bishops that 10 the course OF events,
the Greek and Anglican churches might
be brought together, and thus would

Philadelphia Times,
This proper darning of rent in cloth
ia an art that cannot lie easily picked
up, and should be taught to girls as an
essential part of their practical home
training. The expert daruer of wooden
cloth will make rent practically in
visible by weaving together torn edges,
matching them as carefully as possible,
and afterwards pressing the rent. A
fine sewing silk ia used to darn wooden
cloth in preference TO any wool, which
would not be strong enough unless the
thread or raveline was too coarse.
Where tho cloth is thick enough, en-.
deavor to conceal the silS thread he
tween the face and the hack Df the
cloth. Begin about half an inch from
the edge of one side of the tear. and
run tho needle the pamo distance from
the other edge, cnncealing the thread
carefully and drawing the edges close
together, hun not so that they overlap.
il there is any nap on the cloth, brush
il back while you are dsrning and then
brush it down again. Lay damn cot
tun clotn ON the wrong side of the
cloth, over the darn, and press ii down

arises nfter thu iron il removed. IL the
cloth liz pressed perfertly dry the work
of the iron will he alowu Gu the right
side. A piece of cloth is uEually darned
with vertical and diagonal stitches,
running with the threads of the cloth.
The "up-and down" thread ia usually
the strongest way OF insnding bias
darn. Use no pioco of cloth under tine
darning unless the material dHrned ia
thin, In that case a piece OF silk Of
the same color IS less clumsy ae a back

is sheer.

Millet makes an excellent hay crop,
and should be sown this month. The
best variety to SOW is German millet.
Sow a bushel to the acre, on well-pre
pared, fertile land, and harrow in
lightly, and, if the ground be dry, roll
after narrowing. The crop should be
cut when in bloom and before the seed
forms. If the crop is allowed to sand
until the seed forms and ripens, the
feeding of the hay to horses is attended
with some risk, as the seed sometimes
become impacted in the stomach, and
and may cause trouble. We have never
experienced this trouble ourselves, but
have heard Of cases.

THE DAIRY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The old proverb, that he who makes
two blades of grass grow where only
one sprang up before is a public bene
factor, ought to be widened in it's SCOPE
so as to take in the dairymen who, by
careful management increases the
value of his herd. It is no slight
achievement to have been able ia take
a lot Of poor cow which scarceIy paid
for their keeping and bring them up to
the point where the quality of milk
produced is from fourth to one
half greater than at first, and the value
OF the product increased in still greater
proportion. This is what many herds.
men have done and are now doing.

no COW can be made to produce four
hundred pounds of butter in q year.

supply of water unventileted stables ;
out Of date appliances in the b ,use ;
sIipshod ways of caring for milk and
butter; no dairy paper on the table
can't afford to take it-these indicate
tEuthfully the state of this mans buei,
ness. And still, we do know that manv
men have brought their diaries up to
the point of perfection spoken of above;
and they r not yet satisfied. tt ia

in succession aud rotation, each grower
selecting such of these crops and such
varieties as are best adapted to his par
ticular soil and climate.
As to whether the purchased feed
shall be wheat bran, linseed meal, cot
ton seed meal, or gluten meal, will de-
pend on market prices. Most dairy
farmers may economically produce
their own meal and their own hay.
Cotton seed meal, wheat bran, linseed
meal and gluten meal are all rich in
protein. A good mixture is 200 pounds
each of corn meal and wheat bran to
100 poundsof cotton seed meal. Where
linseed meal or gluten meal is cheaper,
either may be substituted for cotton
seed meal. Feed each COW 10 OF II
pounds of this mixture per day, with
90 pounds silage and 5 to 10 pounds OF
good hay or todder-all fodder to be
shredded or cut. This is for winter
feeding, with good shelter from storms.
While the man, the COW and the feed
are the most important factors, location
and market are also important. The
right sort of man will produce goods
that will command good prices in al
most any market. Dairy products are
staple necessaries OF life, and if first
class in quality they may always be
sold at fair prices.
If located near q good town or city,
selling milk may be most profitable. If
a long ways from market, it may pay
best to make cheese, as it may be kept
longer and carried awry in larger loads
than butter. If within moderate dis
tance of your market, make butter,
and if the market becomes glutted
in summer, sell ice cream instead.
Whether frozen or ready for freezing,
let the cream be Of high quality, and
you will find ready sale among the best
families and the high class hotels, res
t~aurants and soda fountains.

DIPPING CATTLE.
A number Of Texas stockmen have
found chloro neptholeum, at the rate
of one gallon t 500 gallons of water, TO
be the best and cheapest dip yet tried
for killing ticks on cattle.
The y. 8. Government now has an
inspector at the Fort Worth stock
yards to test dipping az a means Of
freeing Texas cattle from ticks and
thus preventing the spread of Texas
cattle fever. A hundred thousand head
will be dipped, examined and shipped.
Il results are satisfactory, all cattle
accompanied by a certificate that they
have been dipped, will be permitted to
CROSS the quarantine lines. A Kansas
City authority estimates that if this is
done it will add S. per head to the value
OF Texas feeders ard that $3.50, 600 of
OF them will find their way to Northern
feed yards this fall.

A ROMANCE OF THE PENSION
OFFICE.

Divorce court records contain no
case more peculiar than that OF Mrs.
Sarah Alley-White, now a resident OF
the Indian Territory. It seems that in
1S42 this lady, who was then some
years younger than she is at present,
allowed her affections to be won by a
certain William White. Where the
winning was done ia not made clear in
the account now at hand, but it was
undoubtedly acharming romance, and
unconventional in that it ended, so far
at least as the preliminary stages were
concerned, in a wedding, to whose o
emniz4tion nobody made any objec-
ton. After a while Mr. White mystic
riously disappeared, a fact which his
wife, who knew her OWL value, took
as clear proof of his death, and in due
course of time she set her affections
again and on Mr. G.. D. Alley. That
was in 1858. Mr.. Alley remained visi
bic until 1881, when he too disappeared,
not mysteriously, however, but under
a ccmu lid, and was buried in the re-
gular and respectable way. Years went
on and Mrs. Alley remained faithful to
Mr.. Alleys memory as good provlder
and a man who observed the conven-
tionaiities Of life. Last summer Mrs.
Alley learned that Mr.. White did not
wither away in loneliness quite so
quickly as she had supposed. Instead
ne had fingered along rather rCbustly,
in some out-of the way place, until the
war broke out, He enlisted, fought
more or less nobly, and was finally
killed in battle. Instantly Mrs. Alley
remembered that if she had remained
Mrs. White she would not be entitled
to a pension. Almost as instantly it
occurred to her that she had ever
really been Mrs. White, and she few
to the United States Judge at Muscogee
to have her second marriage declared
null and void, in other words, o tx
istent. The Judge took his time, but
re8ched~a decision this month. It was
in her favor, and now the rehabiliated
Mrs. White had applied for her pen
sion, with every chance of getting it,
60 her lawyers say.-N Y. Times.

It requires good management to keep
fertile soil in its original condition and
at the same time grow good crops every
year, but it requires much better man
agement to grow good crops on land
which has been cropped down, and
