Only a Misunderstanding.

Several years ago. in well known
wholesale house in a big manufacture
ing town, an old bachelor bookkeeper,
who had been many years with the
firm, suddenly announced that he was
to be married.
The partners gave him a weeks holt
day, and his fellow clerks raised q
little purse and presented it to pay the
expenses of his wedding trip.
A couple Of days after the wedding
one Of the members Of the firm went
down to a seaside resort, and there,
lounging about the parade and ap-
parently enjoying himself Immensely,
he saw his recently married old book
keeper. but alone.
Where's your wife," asked the prin-
cipal.
"She's at home" was the reply.
But thought you had money given
you for wedding trip?
$50 had" was the reply, "but
didn't understand that it was intended
to include her."-Pearson's Weekly.

The Name sioux.


The Indian name Sioux, as it ap-
pears in such town names as Sioux
Falls, Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is
usually pronounced $780," but some
times, in the east chiefly, that simple
pronunciation is not known. A COM
mitteeman not long ago visited school
in New England, where he heard the
pupils say "S-ox" with complete as
surance. At favorable opportunity
he quietly spoke to the teacher Of the
error, saying, you know, it is $780,"
whereupon she asked the attention Of
the school and solemnly announced:
you have all been pronouncing this
word wrong. 1t is not 'Si-ox,' but 500
OK" The committeeman lacked the
courage to pursue the subject further.

LILIES.

Lilies, white lilies, We calm my. soul,
For the waters wild and the pillows roll,
And love and trust have drifted away
Like the distant sail on the breast of the bay.
In moment more twill have drifted from sight
And be hidden away in the waste of night!
And then We came with your pure, sweet gaze,
With your dainty, winsome, loving ways,
And crept like dear dream into my heart
/ could not bear to send thee apart,
For the fragrance that floats on your balmy
breath
To me whispers peace though the world calls
it death.

A Curious Way of Covering n Rock,
Crag With Plant Life.

Crag With Plant Life.
In the grounds Of the Duke of Athol
and near Blair castle, England. stands
a high, rocky crag named Craigiebarns.
1t looked grim and bare in the midst Of
beauty, and it's owner thought how
much prettier it would look if only
trees, shrubs, etc., could be planted in
its hooks and crannies. 1t was consid-
cred impossible for any one to scale it's
steep and dangerous activities. and no
other way was thought Of to get seed
sown.
One day Alexander Nasmyth, father
of the celebrated engineer. paid visit
to the dukes grounds. The crag was
pointed out to him. and he was told of
the desire of the duke regarding it.

PROSPERITY FOR FARMERS.
The Improvement In Agricultural Condi
tions in the Past Few Years.


NEW YORK CRY (SpeciaD .-'sThe i'm
provement in agricultural condition now
contrasting with the depth of depression
in 1894-6 is as little appreciated by the out
side public as was the farmers condition
during the hard times. 1t is conservative
however, to say that the produce Of United
States farms for the past year was worth to
the farmers over 81 SOC, ,000, 900 more thar
IN either OF the depressed years noted
This Is an average advance of thirty-one
per cent. in values compared with the low
point"
These statements are made by the Ameri-
can Agriculturist, which contains an e:ab-
crate review OF the agricultural situation
from financial, and Industrial standpoint.
The live stock OF the country is said to be
worth $700, ,000, 900 more than during the
hard times, or p gain OF thirty-eight per
cent.
Staple crops are worth $400, ,000, 900 more
than then, while other crops show an in.
crease of $500, ,000, 600 in value or a gain oil
twenty-five per cent. compared with the
depression Of 1856. The produce of live
stock, such as meats, dairy products
calves, mutton, sheep and lamb, hides an6
pelts, colts, mules, etc., are said to show
gain OF 1870 900 900, or forty per cent. above
the low point
The American Agriculturist estimates
that the number of farms in the United
States have Increased by some 400, ,00t
during the past ten years, against a gaiI
OF nearly 100000 In the previous decade
and OF SOC, 900 from 1870 to 1880, and af
firms that a larger proportion of these
farms (sixty-nine per cent? are occupied
by their owners now and then, while thu
number OF farms now under mortgage tha
are occupied by their owners is no greater

lrhe "Green Raw, at sunset.

The ''green ray" or "green fash
at the moment the sun disappears from
view beneath the horizon has been
noticed by many physicists. Some of
them consider this is an optical iIlu-
sion. M. Guebhald states, however.
that the green ray is the great shadow
of the earth feebly illuminated from
the zenith and viewed by an eye fa-
tigued for red; it therefore appears
green. Pellat, on the contrary, states
that the "yellow setting sun has red
lower and green upper border sep
arately examinable in the telescope and
due to prismatic reflection by the at
mosphere. The absorption which makes
the sun disk appear yellow makes the
violet upper rim appear green or
greenish blue instead of violet. When
the sun sets, the upper green rim can
be seen for fraction of second, but
it may be kept longer in view if the
observer goes up slope as the sun
SETS" The first writer to which we
gave referred thought this was differ
ent from the green ray following the
setting of the red sun. NJ. Raveau
said that he had seen the sea colored
green in a triangle with its apex at
the point where the sun set, and the
color seems to flow away toward the
horizon .-Scientific American.

Jesse Sheldon, the girls father, forbade

For three weeks he searched Philadelphia,
