A Dream story.

In November, 1893, / awoke one
morning fully impressed with the Idea
that was receiving as gift an I'M
usually large gypsy ring set with a sin
gle sapphire with a brilliant on each
side The dream was a pleasant one
to the female mind, and soon fell
asleep again, but only to awake with a
still stronger impression that the jewel
was actually in my hands. So curious
We're my sensations that on my maid
entering my room at o'clock told
her of the two dreams, most infinitely
describing the ring, and also asked
my husband to bear witness to the
statement should anything follow to
confirm the dream.
Two hours later the postman arrived.
and so great were my excitement and
establishment at seeing small, neatly
done up packet evidently ring easel
that 1 dare scarcely open it and decid-
ed to ask my maid to do so. Before
breaking the seal | asked her to repeat
the description Of the ring that ! had
previously given her, and then the lit
tie packet was opened, and the joyful
exclamation followed, why, my lady.
here it isr' The ring was sent to me
by friend in memory of his wife, who
had died some months before, but
had absolutely no idea that l should be
the recipient of any souvenir of her
nor did | ever see her wearing the rlns

An ODD PIgpen.

A Canadian farmer had on his land q
very deep hole twelve inches wide, re
sulting from an unsuccessful attempt
to form an oil well. Four little pigs
belonging to the farmer tumbled into
this hole, probably in search of food
and fell forty-five feet to the bottom
where little cave had been formed
by the caving in of some sand from the
sides. The farmer dropped corn into
the hole every day for month. He
knew the pigs were alive from hear
ing contented grunts ascending from
below ground. At last he had the hole
widened, and, descending by the aid OF
strong rope, he rescued two piggies
from their strange prison. The other
two were dead

They Publish "a clever Little Paper
For Children.
The Bud is the name of little news
paper published by Benjamin G. Gar
yer, Helen II. Hosterman and Hazel d.
Hosterman, three children of Spring
field, o. The paper is modelled after
the large newspapers, is sent out every
week and is delivered by little news
carriers. The young managers of The
Bud have just secured a special permit
from Washington to send their paper
as second class mail matter But trou-
bles find these little publishers, as they
do the great editors. A recent editorial
reads thus:
eve were at our wits end last Sat-
urday. All our news carriers except
few faithful ones, had telephoned
either that their wheels were broken
or other such preventives to the carry
ing of their usual routes. Then it
rained, and we were giving up all hope
of getting our paper delivered on time
when one of us suggested telephoning
to the postof1ice. We found we had
got q temporary permit which would
allow sending The Bud as second class
mail"
The society column of The Bud tells
of many youthful experiences and
trials. Here are few items Of re-
cent copy:
''Jack Pierce had pattern cut for a
new pair of pants"
"Neya Kissei has new red cap"
Bertha Pierce has a new kitten"
"Kate Staley fell and skinned her
knee"
Dorothy Bruce is sick with scarlet
fever"
"Helen Connable has a bad sore

week and hurt her leg"
Little Johnny Buffenbarger started

"Robert Braine got caught in tree
in his front yard recently and could
not get down."

TIE FAMILY PIG.

If one wants some choice pork for
the family to eat, the pig should not
know very much about corn at any pc
riod of his career and most certainly
should not be allowed to follow bunch
of fatting steers. The family pig. while
a scavenger by nature, still responds
to decent rations of food and should
be the product of skimmilk, barley
meal and roots, with chance to run
in wood lot and pick up some acorns
and nuts, to be finished off with little
corn at the last end. Such pork will
be the typical streak of fat and streak
of lean. tender firm in texture and of
the finest flavor.

THE TOWN cows STALL.

A friend from Michigan writes us for
directions how to fix a cows stall in
the barn SO that she may be kept clean.
The following is the way in which we
have fixed our own COW stall: Stall is
4 feet wide, box manger width of
stall and 2 feet high, common
stanchion to hold cow, door elevated
s inches above the level of stable
floor, and of such a length as win
just permit the COW to stand upon it
when she is fastened in stanchion.
Vhe width of the stall and the length
of the floor win have to be varied to
suit the size of the COW kept. In such
a stall the COW can be kept perfectly
clean without any trouble.

Rice and Rice

To most people rice is rice, but, not
withstanding this, there is consider.
able difference between the Chinese OF
Japanese and the American article.
The former is darker in color and in no
way compares with the latter in flavor
or quality. OF the American, how
ever, there are a number Of grades, of
which that grown in the Carolinas is
considered the best. When purchas.
ing, see that the grains are large,
plump and unbroken. In washing be
careful not to break them between the
hands.

rALEsTINE GRAPEs.

AS boy we remember seeing a pic
ture depicting the spies returning from
the land of Canaan bearing on pole,
which two men carried OH their shout
ders, lunches of grapes from the prom
Used land. The artist had made these
punches of grapes almost touch the
ground, and we got the idea that they
must have come from a great grape
country. We see that large numbers
of German vine growers are locating
in Palestine to take up the culture of
the grape, the quality of which as there
grown is equal to the best product of
either France or Germany.

WIRE GRASS AND WEALTH.

The largest manufacturing industry
in the state of Minnesota is engaged
in the conversion of the common wire
grass Of the Minnesota sloughs into
the various manufactured products for
which it seems so well fitted binding
Irvine, cordage, mating, basket work,
bagging, etc. More than 10000 per-
sons are being supported and doing
well as result of the development of
this industry. And we well recall the
time when the wire grass slough was
considered the most worthless of any
of Minnesota's broad acres and the
owner of it an object of pity.

We are asked whether sheep may be
allowed to run in an orchard pasture
without injury to the trees. If they
were simply allowed to have run in
such a pasture for short time once a
day to pick UP windfalls and weeds, it
would be beneficial to the trees, but
if kept there continuously they would
soon seriously injure it by punching
under the trees.

Rect suGAR AND THE TRUST.

1t has been clearly foreseen for some
time that when the time arrived that
the product of the beet sugar factories
of this country reached sufficiently
large amount so that it would seek a
market outside that offered by the SUI
gar trust, there would be trouble in the
sugar camp. That time has now ar
rived, and the trust is after the home
producers of sugar. The general pub
lie has a very lively interest in the
probable controversy.
