The MANIPULATING Farmer.

The farmer who can sell an arti.
Gle from his farm without taking
from the land any of it's fertilizing
elements is sure to make a profit If
the cost of the labor is not too
heavy. When fat is stored on an
animal, or butter is a product, the
soil loses none of it's fertility, as all
the starch, sugar and fat on the
farm comes from the air. Plants
absorb carbonic acid gas and give
of oxygen through the agency Of
their leaves, and it is this carbon
in the plants which finally becomes
converted into butter, lard, suet, etc

two-inch plank spiked to the posts
and banked with earth.
The piping is according to the sup
hill' system. The flow pipe rises
from the top of the boiler on a grade
of n inch in ~ feet to the farther
end, then across the house, and back
to the first end. This is the highest
point, and has an air escape. From
here the pipe returns on the same
level as the flow, until within six
inches, where it drops to enter the
bottom of the boiler. This insures
proper circulation of the water.
just before entering the boiler, the
return pipe is connected by a small
pipe, with an extension tank over
head, by which the pipes are kept
continually full of water.
The beds in the house are laid out
according to the diagram. The bed
and bench on the sides are each 3h
feet wide; the center bed six feet
wide. This allows 3h feet for walks
and boards holding the sides of the
beds.
This style of greenhouse is Of par
ticular advantage to any n on rent

A Cure for Rheumatism,

Alhambra, ILL.,, Mar. neutrality-suspicious. are
much puzzled over the case of Mr. F. j. Os-
wald, of this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed I'M
able to do anything for him and he contin-
ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment of this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
very severe case of Rheumatism some years
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record of success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these pain

Peruna is such a perfect specific for

used it they can never be inducedtoquit
it until they are permanently cured. 1t
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees arr
strengthened, the appetite restored,
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.

CHAPTER XIII.

Mrs. Ellesmere and Dallas arrived to-
gether just at the propitious moment
that is to say, three-quarters of an hour
before dinner, in time to exchange greet
ings, to have five minutes chat, and then
to go off and dress for dinner.
The dinner was of the merriest. June
was in the highest spirits-Dallas the
same-Mrs. Ellesmere in her very best
mood. The dinner was perfection, and
conversation never tagged for a moment.
Toms perceptions were not particularly
quick, but they must have beer slow in
deed had he not observed the transforma-
ton in his wife. She had been so quiet
lately, and dinner had been rather a sol
m performance, not enlivened by any
very brilliant conversation. But tonight
| her ladyship's charming face was dimpled
| by smiles, her eyes were full of light. He
| supposed she wore q different sort Of
gown. for she looked, somehow, even pref
tier and more elegant than usual. Dallas
had the old manner which Tom had been
wont half to admire, half to be amused at.
His mother was a good talker, and the
three seemed to have topics of interest
and amusement which were Greek to
Tom. The talk was chiefly Of people, mu-
tual friends, and it was evident that they
found it immensely engrossing and absorb
ing, and all took equal pleasure in 1t.
The two following days there were more
guests al the Hall, for June took the OPP
portunity of Mrs. Ellesmere's visit to give
dinners to their country %neighbors, and
some who came from a distance stayed
in the mouse. Dallas was invaluable in
tt- L. orAou%c;n +bo,, aud MoIua
brought her services from the rectory.
But Dallas confided to his hostess that
he was perfectly delighted when they were
all gone, and expressed a hope, couched in
d~eferential though emphatic terms, that
she would never consider 1t necessary to
ask any one there for his benefit, as il
only prevented his enjoying the society of
the lady from whose presence he derived
the most pleasure.
1t was now the fourth day after his ar
rival. The omnibus had departed with
the last batch Of guests; the morning was
wet, and they were wondering how they
: should amuse themselves, when her lady
ship had a happy inspiration. Battledool
: and shuttle-cock. These were found after
| a search; the battledoors were dried by
) the hall fire, and the shuttle-cocks hat
4 their feathers rearranged, and Dallas ant
June began their game. Now, to thor
t oughly experienced players, there Is no
. very much excitement in the game Of bat

t fight regularly and unbrokenly between
them; but to beginners it involves a grea

At the moment when the game was at II

from the lips of Dallas and June, Agnes

Her ladyship was the more disposed to
make the concession in that her husband
had met her wishes about taking a house
In London in the kindest manner. That
he did not like the idea was evident, but
so far from combating the proposal, he
had given in to it at once, and agreed that
his mother should take q house and make
all necessary preparations. He would not
give any promise about going up much
himself, but IL June came down every
week he and the boy would manage to get
along for the rest of the time.
Lady Nevil wrote an affectionate note
to Mrs. Bryan asking them all to dine the
following evening. She thought it not
improbable that her cousins would refuse
to come. But both had reasons for not
wishing the cstrangement from the Hal
to be prolonged, and were, besides, anx-
ious that their parents should be kept In
ignorance of the u~npleasantness which
had occurred. This, however, cOntribut-
ed to make the evening a thoroughly I'M
pleasant one for their host and hostess.
Madge met Tom in the most supercilious
manner, scarcely deigning to give him her
finger tips, and behaved afterward as
though he did not exist; neither speaking
nor looking his way all the evening, but
devoting herself to June. Agnes, on the
contrary, redoubled her attentions to Tom,
and hung ON every word with a pertina-
cious affection which nearly maddened
June. Frequently, too, Agnes would smile
at her with an expression of mingled
sweetness and triumph which her ladyship
understood only too well.
The weeks passed. Easter was at hand,
and June looked ~joyfully forward to hav-
ing visitors in the house, Dallas among
them. She felt his CHEEKY face and voice
would bring light and life to the Hall
which certainly was not very lively JUS,
at present. Madge came up sometimes
but avoided Tom as much as possible, or
when she met him, treated him with i'll
concealed hostility. Agnes came, too
and invariably set every nerve in June''
body tingling with irritation.

credit for. They fix the responsibility
for their discomfort where it belongs,
and harbor grudges long after a train
er has forgotten the entire incident
which aroused them. The greatest
factor in the safety of a trainer and
the success of the show as a whole Is
the health of the animals, and this Is
dependent directly on food and exer-
else. In it's natural state a wild beast
kills when it Is hungry, eats what is
good for it, and fasts until hungry
again, but in captivity it seems to lose
its Judgment, and If given the oppor-
tunity will usually indulge in gluttony.
or, in some instances, deliberately
starve itself.
Very few proprietors Of great shows
capture beasts through their own
agents. The organization of their
business, with the mass Of detail-ad-
vertising, transportation and finance
occupies all their time. Most Of the
animals now in captivity, therefore,
are purchased of dealers who make
this business a speciality.
There is a great deal Of financial
risk involved in a large business of
buying and selling wild beasts. Risks
must be carefully figured, and profit
from sales and loss from deaths must
be constantly kept in mind and bal
anced. Purchases are often made on
the spot where an animal Is captured,
and the buyer stands the risk Of trans
portation. The way In which a beast
can bear a rough sea voyage plays a
great part in determining it's value.
Even after Its safe arrival, there Is a
continual liability to colds and dis
ease. The loss from deaths, ever
among the animals safely installed in
such a menagerie as that of Jamrach
in Hamburg, Is rarely less than seven
hundred to a thousand dollars a
month.-Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, in
the Cosmopolitan.
