comes yellow, the beans inside are
ripe, turn white and are then consid-
cred dry" beans. White ones mixed
with the green damage the selling
price from few cents to half their
value per quart.
On the market lima beans are sold
by the quart, hence the best pack is
the ordinary 16 or "a quart berry crate.
Real early beans often sell better In
pint boxes, as the price Is so high that
customers of the retail stores do not
want as many as full quart The
peck market basket is another package
used, six to ten quarts being put in
each basket with a covering of green
netting TO enhance the greenness OF
the beans.
Many beans cannot be shipped In
bulk, because they heat the easiest OF
all vegetables, and heating results in
souring, sprouting, mildew, spotting
and decay. Although itself green and
full of water, the lima bean must be
absolutely free from outside moisture
when packed for shipment, says Farm
Field and Fireside. Nor must the
package In any way get wet, or total
loss will result inside of ~ hours. A
novice in the business often blames
the express company or commission
merchant for the spelling of his goods
and consequent bad returns, when 1t
is his own fault in allowing the beans
to be packed in damp condition.
Smelling, as well as picking, must
be done by hand. Smelling is the more
tedious process. A good shelter can
shell eight to IL quarts per hour. One
and half to two cents per quart is
usually the price for Smelling, children
most often doing the work, although
the supervision of competent grown
person is necessary at all times.
If for any reason the beans after
being shellei are damp, they should
be placed for an hour or more before
packing on a clean cloth, or some
other Clean absorbing substance, in
the open air-but not in the sun. This
Is to dry the outer surfaces. They
should be spread not more than an
inch deep and rolled from side to side
every few minutes to secure even dry
Ing The cloth will absorb a part of
the moisture and the air the rest.
Usually, however, no such drying
process is necessary.

CHAPTER XIII.

The twelve months elapsing since
the September afternoon that witness
ed Rose de Cazeneau's disillusion In
regard to her trusted Captain Jean
had been uneventful ones for her
until very recently, when she had
met Lazalie under Gen. La Roches
hospitable roof, and, for the first
time in her life, found a girl friend.
The dark beauty and Indifferent
manner of the Spanish girl possessed
strange and powerful attraction for
the gentle-natured Rose; and Lazalie
feeling the others admiration and
liking, had reciprocated in a way that
brought to the surface her better
and more womanly self
The general had for a guest at this
time the son of an old friend, Col.
Thomas Stewart of Kentucky. who,
sending young Harold to New Or
leans upon matter of business, had
asked for him La Roche's hospitality.
La Roche and the two girls were

Brigida, who was experimenting GER
tain domestic matters in front room
Of the house, was the first to see his
approach.
Gen. Ia Roche, with the impetuos-
ity OF much younger man, sprang
from his chair and crossed the room
to grasp Lafitte's hand, welcoming
him in words which were but careless
ly heard; for the newcomer glanced
from Lazalie, who had followed her
hosts movements. to the childish fig
ure still seated at the table-to the
lovely face, flushing and paling by
turns, while the violet eyes, with
startled and yet not altogether dis
pleased light showing in them, were
raised to meet his own.
Not offering to touch her hand he
said, with bow, 81 hope, mademoi-
selle, that | find you quite we'll"
She answered In a low voice, her
manner, with the color still going and
coming in her cheeks, suggesting
more than usual shyness.

Producer and Consumer.

The producer knows what fruit
leaves his hands, but he does not
know in what shape that fruit reaches
the consumer. 1t is a fact that the
brands of fruits are constantly
changed and played upon by middle.
men and retailers, that handle the
fruit. Thus in Chicago last year. one
man with stand on a public corner
sold only Rocky Ford melons for sew
eral days and claimed to sell only
Rocky Ford. He got double the price
for them obtained for other melons.
But few days after the same man
was selling all kinds of stuff in the
same kind of baskets and under the
claim that they were Rocky Ford
melons Those that paid rs cents
basket for the first ones purchased
were well satisfied and went back
for more. About week or two after
they believed themselves swindled in
the melons that were passed off upon
them as Rocky Fords.

Roses reply, whatever it might have
been, was checked by the entrance
OF Gen. La Roche and LATTE, and
young Stewart stared supposedly at
the tall, straight form following his
host
"Mr. Stewart" said the general, Il
wish to present you to my friend,
Captain Jean, who has come to see
me upon a matter of business, Mr.
Stewart speaking to Lafitte, as

AS the breakfast proceeded, accom-
panied by general and inconsequent
chatter, Laftte's keen eyes took note
of the way in which the young man
looked at Mademoiselle de Cazeneau;
and it seemed to him that not only
was she conscious of Stewards atten-
ton, but that it embarrassed her.
A fury, sudden and savage, possess
ed him at the thought of this hand
some young stranger daring to covet
what was to him, who had known her
SO long, the most precious thing in
all his world.
"By Jove!" exclaimed Harold Stew

fascinating fellow this Captain Jean

Turning from her, and while Albert,
the butler, showing as much pleas
ure as he thought it dignified to mani
fest, was, by his masters order, pre-
pairing another place at the table,
LATTE told Gen. La Roche o. the sail
ors who were waiting outside with
their burdens; and the general, pre-
coded by LATTE, started to leave the
room as CHEEKY whistling, accom-
panied by the sound of footsteps upon
the oaken stairs, announced that Har-
old Stewart was coming down to
breakfast.
Laftte was already in the hall, and
Ii Roche, pausing a moment, turned
back to say, in a carefully lowered
tone. "Senorita Lazalie-Mademoi-
selle Rose, must warn both of you
to have a care how you mention the
name of LATTE in the hearing of
young Stewart. Remember" he add
ed with unmistakable emphasis, "he
must be Captain JEAN and no one
else, so long as he is here with us"
Lazalie nodded, with smile of APP
probation, but Mademoiselle de Gaze
neau looked with troubled eyes at the
general as he hurried out.
She was greatly puzzled, as indeed
she had been more than once during
the past year, to understand how 1t
was that people for whom she could
have nothing but respect should seem
to find no objection to fraternizing
with the dreadful Lafitte, and she was
beginning to wonder how much of UNI
truth there might be in the terrible
stories she had heard concerning him.
1t was all perplexing puzzle, and
the girl sighed as she stirred her
chocolate.
Lazalie, hearing the sigh, laughed
as her white teeth bit into her toast.

COTTON ASSOCIATION TO

Birmingham has secured not only the
annual convention of the Southern Cotton
association, but also the meeting of the
executive committee of that body, which
together will bring to this city from the
18th to the 10Th of January, inclusive
about 1000 of the most representative men
of the south. The executive committee
will meet on the 18th. and the convention
will open on the 18th.
That the prominent financial interests of
the southern states, and in fact every
other interest connected with cotton, will
be personally represented at this conven-
ton, is ample proof of its significance to
the planters of the cotton belt, and also
of it's value to Birmingham. AS a means
of effectively advertising the achieve
ments and possibilities of this district the

Whereas By the testimony of hfty-two

TURE AND TELLS OF THE PRAC.
TIcES OF THE EARLY CHRIST
TiANS ON THE SUBJECT.

At st. Paul's church yesterday all the
masses were well attended. The Rev. Fa-
Their Kittrick celebrated solemn high mass
at 1890 and preached the sermon, TAX
ing for his text the words, ut is there
fore holy and a wholesome thought to
pray for the dead that they may be
loosed from their sins" IL Mackabees
xii-46.
In the course Of his sermon Father
Kittrick quoted many authorities to sup
port the Catholic doctrine of belief in
a third state after death; a state of tenn
porary punishment for the unforgiven sins
which are not mortal sins. He said that
as none but the pure could enter heaven
and none but those dying in mortal sin
were lost, so. even common sense die
tated that there must be some place for
those who were not in state to enter
heaven and We're not bad enough to be
condemned.
This third place, he said, the Catholic
church called pufgatory, a place where
the punishment due to venal sin was suf-
fered and forgiven. "But he that shall
speak against the Holy Ghost it shall
not be forgiven him either in this world
or the world to come Matt. 12 chap. g
yer. And again, amen, I say to thee,
thou shalt not go out from thence till
thou repay the last farthing." Matt.

The council of Trent said. "rhe Catholic
church, Instituted by the Holy Ghost, has,
from the sacred writings and the ancient
traditions of the fathers. taught in sac
red councils that there is a purgatory,
and that souls therein detained are helped
by the prayers of the faithful but prin-
cipally by the sacrifice of the mass. tSec.

says that after justification and remis-
sion of the eternal sufferings due to NOR
tai sin there remains no temporal pain
to suffer. let him be anathema."
st. Augustine prayed for his deceased
mother every day for thirty years at
Gods altar Prayers for the dead" said
ST. Augustine. ''are not beneficial to all
the dead, but only to those that so lived
and died that prayers might be a help
to them after DEATH"
In the course of his sermon, Father
Kittrick alluded to the late Father O'Reil-
ly and asked the congregation to remem-
Der in their prayers the man who, in
the face of the midnight blast of win
