Economy on the Farm.

Economy on the farm is only possible
when all work together in harmony.
This refers not only to the outside de-
partment, but also to the harmonious
working of the household with this
department. 1t is possible for the
housewife to practice little economies
which in turn more than leak away in
the extravagances on the farm. While

Value of Buckwheat.

Do not overlook buckwheat, especial

on poor land, and If not desired for its
grain makes an excellent crop for plow

not in flower.

CHAPTER XIV.

neighborhOOd was alive WIN tne
news that Mr.. Birley was TO be
sold up" An execution had been put
into his house under bill OF sale, and
an agent or auctioneer person (actlng
of course by Instruction. had stuck
notices announcing sale OF furnl-
ture and effects" on boards in the
front-garden. Steinhardt knew there
would be no redemption of the bill,
but in his haste to be as peremptory
with his old friend as possible he had
overlooked the fact that by an act
which had come in force in the be-
ginning of that year, he was bound
to give Birley five days opportunity
to pay off the bill. Birley, therefore,
plucked up the notice boards and
threw them into the lane, and then
went and talked to the man in pos
session.
But that afternoon 1 had business
of my own on hand: had deter
mined to settle to my own satisfac-
tion the exact spot indicated by
Fraulein Haas's vision as that where
Lacroix's remains were inferred. l

ginning of this story. which occupied
part of a dreadfully Uttered little pc

wondered at one wall which lay as
fiat as the walls of Jericho: it seemed
from the public side of the stream to
cohere as completely as when it had
been standing, except at its outer
edges where the bricks were Broken
and dislocated. This l suspected was
the wall; and I was resolved to visit
It to see whether I could make sure
nv suspicion was correct.
To get to the mill I had to pass
round to the head of the peninsula Ct
wondered whether Steinhardt had
taken that route on his journey with
his horrible burden, or whether he
had boldly forded the stream opposite
one of the side gates to the grounds
of his works.. This led me between
two old rattling mills of some sort.
past piles of lumber-broken wagons
and fragments of old machinery rust

sites, constructed of old boards and
old sacks. l had to pick my way very
carefully, for it was beset with gul
lies and holes worn out by rain tor
rents, and with entrenchments of Gin
ders and "clinkers." At length
came out upon the open space round
the mill. I approached the wall with
a shuddering but fascinated sense. In
the middle of 1t. toward the edge
which had been the top. was a bolted
iron plate, answering exactly to the
requirements of Fraulein Haas's Wis

yet health should never be sacrificed
for the dollars. neither should the edu-
cation Of children be neglected for the
mere purpose of laying up a bank ac-
count. 1t is never good plan to plant
more than can be properly cared for, as
there Is sure to be some waste from
this practice. Where it is possible 1t is
recommended that the money borrow
ing practice should be INDUCED in to q
very slight extent. as 1t generally re-
suits In extrayagance in the end.
Treatment of Meadows.
If the portion of the farm that is in
meadow Is inclined to be wet and cold
the chances are 1t Is also more or less
acid, hence will be much benefited by
top dressing of lime. and this dressing
should be in liberal quantities. a ton
per acre not being too much.
Where some reseeding is necessary.
and this point should be looked after
carefully, the application of the lime
should be made after the seed is sown.
This reseeding will be found beneficial
on ten meadows out of fifteen, and IL
it Is done now the meadow will be
good for several seasons without more
seeding. under normal conditions Of
weather
Timothy, clover and red top makes q
good mixtures for reseeding. and may
be applied in quantities according to
the needs Of the field, usually about
double the quantity of timothy seed be-
ing used to either Of the other grasses.
1t will be understood that the lining
of the soil referred to does not in any
sense take the place Of the annual top
dressing. with fertilizers that should
be applied to all meadows, but is SIM
ply designed to sweeten acid soils.
Grain ane Dairy Farming.
An important difference between
dairy farming and grain farming is
the amount of the farm that is sold
with the product that is of the fertility
Of the farm. The man who sells a
ton Of wheat sells in it about 81 worth
Of fertilizing elements, and If he does
not buy something to replace them his
farm is so much poorer. The dairy
man who sells ton Of butter has sold
but so cents worth Of fertilizing ma
terial, and If he is a good dairyman,
he has probably added much more than
that, or twenty times that to the value
Of the farm in tie bran. oil meal, cot
ton seed, or other food that he pur-
chased while feeding his cows for maxi
ing that ton of butter. 1t is in this
way that the dairyman's farm Is con-
tinua.ly growing more productive, and
if he does not make much from his
dairy, he should from the crops that
he can grow on his much enriched soil.

HERR STEINHARDT'S NEMESIS |
CHAPTER XIII-Continued.
BY J. MACLAREN COBBAN.

"What is it?'' he demanded; his
tone was not loud, but his eyes seemed
standing out as with suppressed rage
"what is il you two are together for?
What can you do? You have nothing!
money, influence, nothing"
''No, Manuel" said Birley; "you've
grabbed them ALL"
''Is it," said he, glaring at me,
"that you-you beggarly curate!-
want, expect to marry an heiress, the
heiress of an old family? 1 have said
before that she is not an heiress- that
she has no money, and that she is not
for you, sir!"
81 have reason,'' said, "to believe
that Herr Steinhardt does not always
speak the truth
"Pouf! You are insolent as well!
An insolent beggar is not to be borne!
And so you have got, too, this reckless
old man to abet you in your tricks and
schemes! What for is it," he de-
manded of Birley, THAT you have set
yourself to 90 against me in this?'
"Partly, Manuel" answered Birley,
"because 1 have gradually got con-
vinced you are the biggest villain un-
hung, and partly because 1 like this
lad Unwin. AS for tricks and
schemes"
~"Piff! You are foolish as well as
reckless"
'I saw. as for tricks and schemes l
may hav,. an account to settle with you
of that sort, before have done, but
not tonight"
"Not tonight! After tonight you
will be more completely nothing than
you have been yet! l will destroy you
both You shall be beggars both.
without hope, without reputation"
"These are brave words, Manuel,
and know you will carry them out, it
you can; know you can make me
beggar, but l think Unwin is pretty fit
tc give an account of himself yet, and
of you, too, Manuel, if it comes to
that. But, see, you'd better go home,
for it's Sunday morning, and you're
frightening the poor girl there
This careless dismissal must have
been especially exasperating to man
like Steinhardt. He was almost beside
himself, yet he still held his fury down.
"You are beggars, sneaks and cow
ards BOTH" he exclaimed.
"Nay, but," said Birley, now reused,
and approaching to urge the necessity
of a speedy departure, "if we begin
calling names we may have the better
of it, but not tonight. Come, Manuel,
you must go!''
He was reluctantly withdrawing,
when he and we also were startled by
Louise exclaiming with outstretched
hands
"Where is my father, you wicked
man? What have you done with him?
Where have you put him?'
He paused moment to set his face,
and then turned again to look at her.
"The girl is gone mad!' he said.
"Does she think l am her fathers
keeper? Where have put him! Have
1 got him in my pocket do you think?"
The knowledge of this, it may be
guessed, did not make me feel any
the less bitterly toward Steinhardt.

Washington, Dec S.-During a previous
visit to Washington a month ago, Mr..
Reed seemed to be in unusually good
health and spirits and spoke of his enioy-
ment OF life among his new associates in
New York. When he retired from con-
gress he became a. member of the firm Of
thatcher, Simpson & Barnum, one of the
most prominent and successful in New
York, and has done his share Of the work
His share of the fees, he confessed. during
the last three or four years amounted an
nually to small fortune. Mr.. Reed was
always a frugal man, leanirg more to
economy than to extravaganza, and not
only saved g. good part Of his salary but
made an extra. $4,000 or $1,000 annually by
legal and literary work. He would never
denver a lecture or contribute an article
TOT publication without pay, charging
SoOO for a lecture; 5000 was his lowest
price for a literary production, no matter
how short. He had a. quiet but comfort
able home in Portland, Me-, modest cot
tage at Grand Beach, a modest summer
resort on the coast of Maine, and while in
Washington occupied a suite of inexpen-
sive rooms at the Shorehain hotel for
which he paid half the regular rates. In
New York he occupied flat in a large
apartment house, where he lived very
quietly. Neither Mrs. Reed nor her daush-
ter have social ambitions. While in Wash
lngton they went out very seldom, and in
New York they have gone out still less.
Mr.. Reed. however, was fond of a good
dinner, and a poker party was his espe-
cial delight.

congresses the complimentary nomination
to the speakership was tenderd him by
the republicans. In the fifty-flrst congress
he was elected speaker. In the first days
of the session he met and overcame VIC
lert opposition on the part of the demo-
cratic minority to his rule Of counting
members present in the house as par
ticirating in a vote despite their refusal
to use their privilege: The new rules
adopted Feb. IA, 1890. settled this matter
in fevor o! Speaker Reeds contention. In
the same year Mr.. Reed was reelected
to the f1fty-second congress by large
majority. as also to the fifty-third fifty
