HANNAH MORE.
The Unfortunate Love story Of . Fa-
nous English Writer,

Hannah More was born on Feb. 2,
her father being the master of
school in the neighborhood. In 1857
her eldest sister, Mary, who was then
twenty-one, with her sisters Elizabeth
and Sarah, opened a ladies' school in
Trinity street, Bristol, taking Hannah
and her younger sister Patty, who
were then respectively twelve and ten
years of age, as pupils. The school
was a great success, and Hannah be-
came highly cultivated girl. Some
where about the year 1867 she made
the acquaintance of a Mr. Turner Of
Belmont. He was q wealthy bachelor,
considerably older than herself and the
owner of fine estate near Flax Bour-
ton, in Somersetshire. She is describ-
ed as being at this time an exceedingly
pretty girl, with delicate features and
beautiful eyes. These characteristics
she retained to the end of her life, as
the portrait of her by Pickersgil in
the national portrait gallery clearly
shows. She became a constant visitor
at Belmont and in due course Of time
received from Mr.. Turner a proposal
Of marriage, which she accepted She
withdrew from her connection with the
school and made all Preparations for
her wedding.
This, however, never took place.
Three times was the day fixed and as
often for some unintelligible reason
postponed by Mr.. Turner. His affec-
ton for her seems to have been sin
cere, but he was a man of q curious
and rather gloomy disposition, and his
strange conduct may possibly be refer
red to some mental perversity. AT last
her friends interfered and insisted on
the engagement being broken off. Mr..
Turner was very anxious to make set
tlement upon her, and, though for some
time she declined to entertain the pro-
posal, she was finally persuaded by
Sir James StOnehouse to accept an an
nuty of f200 year. This unfortunate
affair did not interfere with the friend
ship and respect which Mr.. Turner
continued to feel for her, and at his
death he left her legacy Of $1,000.
But it probably left its mark on her,
and, though she subsequently received
two offers of marriage, she declined
them both.-New York Tribune.

A Powerful Writer.

The late Rufus E. Shapley, the bril-
liant Philadelphia lawyer, wrote "Solid
For Mulhooly," which had an immense
success. Once at a dinner an editor
congratulated Mr.. Shapley warmly ON
"Solid For Mulhooly." The editor said
it was powerfully written. Mr.. Shap-
ley replied: Eyes, l suppose l am Il
powerful writer. The other day I
wrote a letter Of coincidence to the
widow of an old friend, and I under
stand that the lady no sooner read my
letter than, changing her black gown
to pink one, she went to a matinee"

Animals Tails.

Though most animals possess n tail,
either in the full or the incipient stage
of growth, few of them use it to the
same extent as the kangaroo, the scor-
plon, the horse and the giraffe. What
was its destined use? That it was not
destined for ornament is shown by the
fact that in certain vertebrate it is
proved to be an extension of the verte-
bral column. A satisfactory solution
is to be found. I think, in the hypothe-
else than the taproot of vegetables,
which has become obsolete or useless
owing to the fact that the living being
has long since adopted another method
of struggling for eXistence.-Brooklyn

Weedy and Adulterated Seed.

Circular No. IS of the office of the
secretary of agriculture reports that
in carrying out the provisions of the
act of congress requiring the testing
of seeds of grass, clover or alfalfa OBJ
tanned in the open market 521 samples
of seed of red clover were obtained in
the open market and examined. OF
these 116 samples were found to con-
tain seed of the destructive parasitic
plant dodder, and five samples We're
found to be adulterated with seed of
yellow trefoil. Yellow trefoil is not
used as a forage plant in the United
States, but the seed is imported from
Europe at about 5 cents per pound for
use as an adulterant of red clover and
alfalfa seed.

Soy beans as a catch crop on wheat
or oats stubble have proved quite de-
slrable. These plants belong to the
same family as the cowpeas. Chinch
bugs do not work on them, they are
great drought resisters, and they yield
very valuable grain for mixing with
corn or Kaffir corn or for balancing
the ration with other feeds. They con-
tain nearly twice as much protein as
cowpeas and yield more grain. but not
so much foliage or forage. The plant
grows erect and has many branches

Home Circle

There is a great difference between
a home-maker and a home-keeper.
There arc women who are good home
makers and failures as home-keepers.

forming a new home, 1t is a pleasant
task to arrange furniture. Everything
is new and the .hOuSekeeper has little
to.doaside. frOm-suggestingathe proper
place for each article; and 1t is with
pride she looks upon each home, be it
ever so humble. This is especially true
when an ~appreciative husband gives
his earnest approval OF every sugges-
tion, but as the years go on the wear
and tear incident to s is plainly to
be seen, and then the battle begins
that discourages SO many housekeep-
ers. Faded carpets, furnished furni-
ture meet her eyes. Vigilence gives
place to indifference; disbursement
takes the place Of determined effort:
the home Is neglected and the home
maker is no longer a home keeper.
This is the crucial that tests a woman s
fidelity to duty. Many die with an
uncrOwned life work, but Gods bene-
diction, "She has done what she
Is more blessed than the
