One day Sir Algernon West, well
known member of parliament from
London. was observed by one Of the
doorkeepers talking to gentleman
who had rasping, raucous voice and a
demonstrative. excited manner. While
the conversation was in progress Sir
Algernon received the card Of another
member of parliament and an intima-
ton that its owner wished to see him.
Sorry; I'm engaged" was the answer.
Next moment up came another card
from we'll known peer. Again an
apology was returned. In another min
ute the doOrkeeper came carrying q
huge card and saying that the lord
mayor and sheriffs Of London wished
very urgently to see Sir Algernon. The
latter excused himself from the gentle
man with whom he was conversing.
This was too important to resist.
"There amt nobody here" whispered
the doorkeeper when he got the mem

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

The northern slope of hillside is
the best location for an apple orchard.
The pear will come as near bearing
a crop CT fruit every year as any other
kind Of fruit.
If the currant worm makes its ap-
pearance. dust the foliage while the
dew is on with white hellebore
In transplanting plants from pots in
vert the pot and rap the bottom Of il
sharply. and the plant will come out.
An overloaded grapevine will not
mature i.s fruit. If it bears more
than it ought it will ripen its fruit
late.
Air slabed lime sprinkled on rose
bushes when the dew is on will de
stroy insects without injuring the
bushes.
Rose plants should have plenty OF
light and heat. Nothing will bligh,
their buds sooner than shade and
moisture.
Nearly all cultivated fruits are liable
to overbear. This is always injurious
and should be prevented. One Of the
best preventives is thinning.
One of the best places to use coal
ashes is around the base of the fruit
trees. Put mound Of them around
each tree. Borers will not be so apt to
trouble them.

THE BUOYANI MIDDLE AGE
Il Dallies Jauntily With Youth In
These PrOgressive Days.

Il Dallies Jauntily With Youth In
These Progressive Days.
Half a century ago man of forty.
FIVE was regarded almost elderly. and a
woman Of the same age was expected
to have long since cut herself adrift
from all ties binding her to her youth
and to assume the appearance and de-
pertinent Of a staid. exemplary matron.
All this has changed in a particularly
interesting way, Of which the promi-
nent feature is seeming contradic-
ton. If the three-year-old child Of to-
day is as knowing as was the siX-year-
old Of half a century ago and the ten
year-old boy Of today is in many re-
spects quite as much a man as was his
grandfather at eighteen. one might nat
urally expect that in due gradatio the
modern middle aged man should be old
beyond his years. But such is not the
case
Middle age, so far from hurrying on
into senility. so far even from standing
still, would seem actually to have
stepped backward and marched along
side of youth. There is a jauntiness. a
buoyancy. an elasticity, about the mid
die age Of today at which our fathers
would have shaken their heads as un-
seemly. The gulf which once separated
the middle aged parent from his chill
dren has been filled up. The curtain
which shrouded the middle aged man
generally from the eyes Of youth and
which caused him to be regarded with
respect II not with awe has been lifted,
and in obedience to the same influences
which have made the schoolmaster the
friend Of the schoolboy and the regi-
mental officer almost the comrade of
his men the middle aged man Of today
Is never so happy as when working OF
playing upon an equality and actually
In connection with youth.
AS with men so it is with women.
Social statisticians tell us that the age
at which women are considered most
eligible for marriage has been very
notably advanced of late years. and
we know that the lament Of many a
matchmaking mamma Is that the most
dreaded rivals of her darling are not
to be found so much among the girls
OF her own age as among women who
not many years ago would have been
relegated to the ranks Of hopeless old
maidenhood. The fact that the middle
| aged lady Of today is much younger in
| manner and tastes is of course not the
only reason for this. but it is among
the most potent.-London Spectator.

A Very strange 1nterces.ion.

In church where the prayers are
made at the discretion Of the minister
very strange intercessions are some
times presented. remember well
ages since hearing old DR.. Muir Of
Glasgow. who was real though &C.
centric genius in his day and Of whom
no English reader ever heard, relate an
incident which had been in his own
knowledge. "Mr. Smith was preach
ing at Drumsleekie, and he had come
to the concluding prayer. where we
pray for all and sundries (sic), when
he suddenly remembered that he had
forgotten to pray for the magistrates.
So he put in the prayer just where he
was, Have mercy upon all fools and
idiots and specially upon the magis-
trates Of Drumsleekie.' He meant no
evil. but the magistrates were not
pleased. ."-LoEgman's Magazine.

The Hankinson News complains

The Hankinson News complains
that of the ten recent appointments
made by the governor no Richland
county name appears and the Lidger-
wood Broadaxe declares that inasmuch
as the fight Of the factions" in Rich
land county effaced the legislative
delegation there is nothing coming
And then the Broadaxe moralizes fur
ther as follows: "The senseless fight
is kept up-mainly. as we see it
because of personal and political
rivaly exists between two leading men
in the county, and the loss falls, not
on them particularly, but upon the
party to which they claim allegiance.
There is plenty of time between now
and next summer to insti! this
thought into republican voters minds,
and plenty of time for those who are
interested in seeing the party rise su-
preme over these idiotic chickering's to

Playthings In Court.

Some very curious models have from
time to time been produced in court in
various lawsuits. There was a model
of a mill produced lately in a patent
case where the patentee claimed his
patent to have been infringed. The
patent was in connection with some
part Of the machinery Of the mill. The
model mill was set working in court
while judge and counsel watched its
movements with much interest. A
model steam engine was once produced
in an action against railway compa-
ny. The Judge insisted on having the
whole working Of the engine explained
to him. whereupon the counsel who
was speaking asked for an adjourn.

when he would be able to give the re-
Quired explanation.-London Taller.

The Proper Thing to do and the
Proper Way to DO 1t.
Events that are apparently trivial
in the daytime assume an immense i'm
pOrtance in the dead of night. A slight
noise, out OF the ordinary, will some
times have it's bearing ON the married
lives of two people, says Tom Mason
in Life.
when, therefore. your wife wakes
you up with that intensely nervous
movement that indicates brooding
horror do not lose your presence of
mind. Keep from shaking if possible,
and while secretly your 1,art may be
in your throat do not bay yourself
Above all, do not wake up too soon.
Begin by groaning slightly. and roll
over. At the second pull on her part
1t will be entirely proper for you to
start slightly, rub your eyes and NUT
ter any unintelligible sentence. Then,
as you gradually wake up and she be-
comes more persistent. you may allow
yourself to say, oh, nonsense
Remember that up to ,l1s moment
the formula for a husband walked up
by his wife who hears noise is al
ways the same and should only De va
ried later. Now, however, is the time
to act.
Dash quickly from the bed and
either reach for your revolver, or II
that isn't handy take the first thing
that presents itself-fire tongs, curling
irons or chair-and rush madly to the
door.
IF you have acted your part correct
~ and courageously you will find your
wife there before you. barring the en-
trance.
"By this time. il you have made noise
enough, the burglars. if there were
any, have without doubt departed. and
when you have persuaded your wife
that the thing must be done you can
search the house at your leisure and
ever afterward pose as genuine hero
who was thwarted in his purpose at
the critical moment"

How to Remove stones From Land.
Large rocks should be heated by
burning quantity Of brush on each
one, and then with good heavy sledge
and steel wedges most Of them can be
split into fragments that can be hauled
on upon the drag. Medium sized rocks
may be drawn out by digging round
them, fastening log chain upon the
lower side and attaching the team. Let
the horses start slowly. and with q lit
tie effort the stone may be pulled out
at the second or third pull. A good
way to get rid Of stones is to bury
them. but bury them deep-not less
than three feet from the surface-as
they will be certain to work up to the
top in a few years. when the work has
to be done over again at considerable
cost.

withdraw from the central competitive
district wage agreement convention now

of western Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. because the miners are
pressing the passage of a bill requiring
the Indiana operators to employ shot
firers to do the blasting in the mines

brought out the information that the
step that the miners are taking In In
diana will be taken before the 1egisla-
lures of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illi-
ncis. After laws have been obtained in
these four states the miners will move
on the legislatures in the twenty other
mining states
The miners say that this movement is
for the purpose of bringing about better
ventilation in the mines. This has led
the operators to demand that they fire
the shots as a rule just before they
leave the mines in the evening. The
miners say they viii not recede from
their stand in Indiana.

Illinois Coal Operators association, pre-
scented to the convention these resolu-

resolved, That the scale committee
of this convention be and hereby is in
structed to fix the machine rates to be
paid in the four competitive states and
that they shall be upon the same basis
