When MacauIay Spoke.

What can be the matter? Doors
open, members rush out members are
tearing past you from all points in one
direction-toward the house. Then
wigs and gowns appear. They tell you
with happy faces their committees
have adjourned, and then come a third
class, the gentlemen of the press, hill
arious. Why, what's the matter? Mat
ter! Macaulay Is up. You join the
runners In a moment. 1t was an an
nouncement one hadn't heard for
years, and the passing of the word
"Macaulay's up" emptied committee
rooms now as before it emptied clubs;
the old voice, the old manners and the
old style-glorious speaking; we'll pre-
pared carefully elaborated, confessedly
essayish, but spoken with perfect art
and consummate management, the
grand conversation of a man of the
world confding his learning and his
recollections and his logic to party of
gentlemen and just raising his voice
enough to be heard through the room.
AS the house filled he got prouder
and more oratorical. and then he pour
ed out his speech with rapidity, in
creasing after every sentence, till it be-
came a torrent Of the richest words,
carrying his hearers with him into en-
thusiasm and yet not leaving them
time to cheer. The great orator was
trembling when he sat down. The ex-
element Of a triumph overcame him,
and he had scarcely the self-possesson
to acknowledge the eager praises which
were offered by the ministers and
others in his neighborhood-

How to Make EyeIets.

There's new way of making those
troublesome eyelets, discovered by
girl who Is locally famous for invent
ing labor saving ideas, says the Wash
ington Star. 1t consists of running the
eyelet around and then cutting it from
end to end and buttonholing it, making
the stitches as deep as those upon the
usual buttonhole, but reversing the
stitch so that the edge stitches back
upon the material instead of around
the open edge of the eyelet. 1t is
about one-fifth as hard to do as the
usual way, and the difference In length
of time Is even more marked.

SEED Corn Selection.

That pretty ears are not always the
BEST seed corn has been shown by the
experiments at the Ohio Station. They
selected twenty-four extra fine ears, all
OF the same variety. The seed Of these
were planted, each ear in a row by It.
self, and thinned to three stalks In a
hill, 20 that each ear had the same
chance As Its neighbor. One ear out Of
the twenty-four yielded at the rate Of
ia bushels per acre, another 112 and
a third 104 bushels, while other ears
made f1fty-f1ve, sixty-five and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had fifty eight
barren stalks. The row next to the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made sixty-hve bushels
had ffty-two barren stalks. The ears
were all Of equal appearance and Of
equal terminating quality. The re-
suits show very plainly that what we
have been for years insisting upon, that
tho breeding Of corn in the field, the
removal Of disturbing influences about
1t, and the working toward an Ideal
plant as whole, plant Of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
Of far more Importance than the selec-
tion OF fine ears by the score card
without any knowledge Of the breeding
1 the corn. Selection Of the largest
ears tends toward single production,
for 1t is law Of nature that when we
Increase the size Of the individual fruit
OF any plant we will decrease the num-
Der Of fruits, and when we increase
the number we decrease the size Of
the individual fruits. But 1t has also
been shown that a stalk with two or
more medium-sized ears Of corn will
make more corn than stalk with one
big ear. In test made for the yield
Of grain, one sample was from a sim
gle-eared plant, one from a two-eared
one, one from three-eared one and
one from a four-eared one, and the
quantity Of corn shelled increased ex-
actly with the number Of ears on the
plant The breeding in the field to
breed out barren stalks is the essential
matter in developing the productive
character Of the corn. and the best
ears are merely relative and not by
any means the largest

In one of the old families of Charles
ton, South Carolina, writes Mrs Raw.
enel, there was an important parsonage,
Jack, the butler. Jack disputed with
another old man, Harry, the butler of
Mrs. Henry lizard, the reputation of
being the best ana most thoroughly
trained servant in the town. From the
judging Of the wines to the arrange.
ment of a salt-spoon there was moth
ing which these withered brown poten-
tates did not decide and maintain.
Nothing would have astonished either
more than that master or mistress
should dissent from his verdict
Jack was intolerant of anything
which he considered a breach Of the
etiquette Of the table. Nothing could
have induced him to serve a gentleman
before a lady, or younger before an
elder brother. To place fruit and wine
on a table-cloth instead of upon the
mahogany was to him a falling from
grace. On one occasion he was much
dnloyeu "HeH SeHdIOr from tne up
country twice asked for rice with his
fish. To the first request he simply re-
mained deaf; at the second he bent
down and whispered into the senatorial
ear. The genial gentleman nodded. and
suppressed laugh; but when the SER
wants had left the room, he burst into
a roar, and cried, Judge, you have
treasure! Jack has saved me from dis
grace, from exposing my ignorance. He
whispered, That wouldn't do, sir; we

With his hat tilted over his brows,
O'Rourke walked on staring at the pave

his name, and looking up with a great
start, he beheld the widow, who stood
near him with pale face, eyes swollen
with many recent tears, and clasped, Pc
titionins hands.

ened and appealing voice.
Julia" he answered. He was glad
that his own face was pale, and that his
eyes were haggard with trouble. He was
rejoced that he was detected in mien
and careless in dress.

said flutteringly. But | couldn't help

you? May tell you everything?'
Yes she said, laying both hands
upon her heart, and huttering painfully.

Under any less pressure than this
he answered, at would be unmanly to
tell it. But the whole truth is that a
woman's unfounded and unreasonable
jealousy has parted us and made us both
unhappy
Hector, l told her so. But she said

lofty and yet tender remonstrance, do

myself properly in her presence? Don't
you see how still more cruelty impossi-
BILE it was for me to defend myself when

self to look upon Miss Butler as a charm

that l ever loved her, that l ever told
her so, or gave her reason to hope so or

Mr.. Frost, with CHASTITY attempt to seem
at ease. His lips were blue, and his

"Very WELL" said Zeno, just as calmly
Dobrosk and OROurke discussed the
business of the morning seriously, and
Zeno's aspect of seriousness was com
plete. The patriot had never before con-
cerned himelf personally in an enterprise
of this kind. and would scarcely have

When the morning business was fin

that the whole details of the purchase

hands, with Frost to act as his interme-
diary, the three guests took their leave
together.

"As you please" returned Zeno.
In a little while the three were seated
together in quiet Frost ordered cold
lunch, and intimated to the waiter that
they wished to be left alone until they

Storfnx Potatoes.

There Is more loss storing potatoes
than in storing any other crop. Barring
all waste from rot, there Is a heavy
shrinkage. both in quantity and weight.
A bin holding 100 bushels will show a
shrinkage of nearly one-tenth, besides a
full that will weigh fully sixty pounds
in October, when taken from the soil,
will not weigh 30 much after being
stored in the cellar during the winter.
The shrinkage in weight is much less
when kept in pits closely covered with
earth, for there Is then less chance for
evaporation.

Strawberries.


The strawberry propagates Itself In
two ways-by runners and by seed. II
the runners are kept from roofing. the
vine will make an effort to reproduce
itself from seed production Of berries)
In the spring, and some horticulturists
lave given as their opinion that If the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ners In the summer there will be no
loss Of vitality by the old plants, and
the matter intended to be converted In
to runners will be stored In tho plants
and converted into fruit when the
proper time arrives. The first thing to
do after harvesting the crop Is to thor
oughly clean between the rows and
pull out the weeds between the plants
in the rows, so as to give the beds the
benefit Of the hoe as much as possible.
Moisture Is always beneficial to straw
berry plants and the ground should be
worked deep at first and then kept
loose on the surface until late In the
fall, when the vines may be mulched.
Burning the beds should be done when
the ground Is frozen. This, 1t is claim
ed, will enable the plants to begin anew
In the spring. the old plants being
thereby invigorated, the ashes provld-
ing potash, and the seeds Of weeds de-
stroyed. Leaves, straw or other ma
terials may be placed over the plants
before winter Gets in, to remain as
mulch until early in the, spring. Fer
tilizer Is applied both just after har-
vest and early in the spring. Potted
plants are runners that are grown In

Coal AAhNa.

In one ton Of ashes from bItuminous
coal are 8 pounds Of potash, 0 pounds
Of phosphoric acid, 50 pounds of lime
and large proportion of waste mat
ter. Coal ashes are said to be about
equal to clay, and are nearly Of the
same composition. They possess little
or no value as fertilizer, but serve
to assist light, sandy soils to retain
moisture, answering the same purpose
as clay. The percentage Of potash and
phosphoric acid contained Is too small
in quantity to pay for hauling and
spreading coal ashes on the ground as
a fertilizer. II any benefit Is derived
it is due to the mechanical effect Of the
ashes on the soil and as an absorbent
material.

Every farmer should have few
sheep, in order to save much Of the ma
terial grown that may be wasted Sheep
will eat great many plants which cat
tie reject, and they Craze closer to the
ground. Young and tender weeds are
delicious to sheep, and they, therefore,
assist in Kidding the fields of such pests
A small flock of mutton sheep should be

supply the family with choice meat.

Grazing on Rye.

The practice Of turning cows on
young rye in the fall is a good one, but
when the ground is very wet damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes it
to stool, and the young rye provides
late green food; but, while the rye field
may be used for cows In the fall, they
should not be turned on too early in
the spring 1t does not do so much
harm for COWS to change from grass TO
rye. as 1t does from dry food in the
spring to young rye.

Horse Breeding.

To a careful observer it Is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that Is best
adapted to road purposes Is placed at
such work, and the horse that Is suited
best to the plow and heavy hauling has
its own proper work assigned. Hence
the advantage of breeding for a pur-
pose. The man WHO makes the best
success of rearing horses Is the one who
clearly understands the situation. and
customers.

O'Rourke, suddenly turning on his COM

''if Austin Farley's new novel is on tho
book stalls yet 2" His look was triumph
ant for the moment, and, indeed, he
thought he had trapped Frost with great
neatness. Farley had never written
hook with the theme of which O'Rourke
had not been made acquainted long before
its first page had reached the public, and
he knew this story perfectly. Frost did
not look in the least disconnected. On
the contrary, his eyes took new light of
certainty, and he slapped the table en-
phatically with the hand O'Rourke had
left at liberty.

OF triumph. 1T was him that guessed
that Zeno was spy. And l couldn't

sweet on him in spite of that. Said he

O'Rourke knew Frost for an unblush-
ing liar, but it was improbable to his
mind that Farley's book could be out as
yet.
He dismissed Frost, and wandered out
into the streets, striving to Danish his
own thoughts.
He walked on gloomily, not knowing
whittier he went, and not caring, and
conscience struck him hot and hard all
the way. Yet what could he do? Moth
ing but torment himself until the thing
was done. And afterward, forever.
