The Minister'S Wife
CHAPTER vII.-(Continued.)
BY MRS. HENRY WOOD

CHAPTER yII.-(Continued.)
Later in the day she seemed a little
better; it was the rallying of the spirit
before departure. She knew 1t was de-
ceitful strength, but it put hope into the
heart of Mr.. Baumgarten.
"Ryle, if he should live, you will al
ways be kind to him?"
Edith Kind to him Oh, my wife,
my wife," he uttered, with a burst of
irrepressible emotion, you must not go,
and leave him and me-"
She waited until he was calmer; she
was far more collected than he.
"You will love him" she reiterated,
family; you will always protect him
against the worlds unkindness"
"Ay; that 1 swear to you," he ardently
replied. And Edith Baumgarten breathed
a sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought it must be the faintness
attendant on death but for a short time
she seemed to sleep.
He sat on; his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one of her hands. All
was still so still that the ticking OF
Ediths watch, lying on the dressing ta-
BILE, was audible. About ten minutes had
thus passed when a slight cry from the
infant in the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr.
Baumgartens ear.
"Ryle! Ryle!"
"My dear" he breathed, vexed that her
sleep should have been disturbed.
81 have been in that dream again
going on my long, long journey" she said
In disjointed syllables. "Oh, Ryle, I know
1t now; it is the journey of death"
"My dear wife ~ he cried, much dis
tressed.
''The air is-oh so sweet-and the light
at the far end so bright and lovely-ant
the flowers-look at the flowers they are
the flowers of Heaven and -and-oh
look ! look"
The tone, growing inaudible, had taker
a glad sound of ecstasy; and with th'
last word, the spirit passed away.
After the funeral of Mrs. Baumgarter
the parish focked to Whitton Cottage t
condole with their rector, and to see thu
baby. He received them with quiet cour
tesy, but the most sanguine sympathizer
could not detect any encouragement TO
a renewal of the visit. All that coult
make life pleasant to Mr.. Baumgartel
was as yet buried in the grave of Edith
Gradually he began to take notice o
the child; at first he had avoided him
The old servant, Dinah, who had live
with the Danes for years, took charge o
him. Mr.. Baumgarten would sometime
have him on his knee now, and soon love
him with an impassioned fondness. FL
had nothing else to love.
Thus the months glided on to winter
the rector fulfilling all his duties as o
yore, but leading a very lonely life.

Farmers and Poultry Fancicrs.

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all Of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
tcal utility says Farming. Whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing were producing sixty eggs year
or 200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out foul flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes of better tint, at a
sacrifice of everything else. The result
is that when a farmer goes into the
market to buy thoroughbreds with his
money in his pocket, ready and willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does not
need, but actually pays premium for
something that has been obtained at a
sacrifice of the very qualities which he
does need There are few men, how
ever, raising thoroughbred stock that is
bred to lay" or to meet certain mar
ket demands, and those are the men
that should be patronized.

An-Around Values in Ashes.

Ashes are commonly valued by farm
ers for the potash which they are sup
posed to contain. According to recent
experiments in Europe, 1t appears that
the phosphorlc acid in the ashes is
also more valuable than Its quantity
would indicate, since even that part
which does not dissolve in water is
nevertheless easily taken up by plants.
The lime in ashes Is also Of value,
more so than generally supposed, when
used on land inclined to be sour.

Value of sheep as GIeanerS.

Turn sheep almost anywhere on the
farm, in the stubble field, the corn
field, around the buildings, in the gar
den after everything has been harvest
ed, anywhere else that there are weeds
or feed Of any kind that will be vast
ed If they do not eat it. The sheep
will not only make satisfactory gains
and return a good profit on the money
invested, but they will add greatly to
the appearance Of the place and de-
crease materially the weed crop an
other year. Sheep will eat weeds and
clean up rough feed that no other
stock will, and feeder sheep make very
satisfactory gains.

Getting Down to business DnIryinS.


Getting Down to Business Dnlrying.
The first Dairy Test Association in
New England was organized a few days
ago at Durham, N. H., under direction
Of the Experiment Station workers.
The membership Is made up Of pro-
gressive dairy farmers. The object Is
to cooperate in getting records which
show the quality of milk in the various
herds and the cost Of feeding. The as
sociation will engage an agent to do
the testing and each member will pay
his part Of the expense. The plan has
been found to work successfully in
other parts Of the country and enabled
dairymen to find out just what their
herds are doing and what changes are
needed. The experiment stations Of
New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
1t is understood, will encourage the
formation of these associations In all
dairy sections.

Keeping the Cider Sweet.

The keeping of cider as sweet as pos
sible represents another important task
in connection with this product. Sassa-
fras bark, or ground cinnamon, are
among the preservatives most used In
rural homes. In cities the taste Is Oft
en- spoiled by too much preservatives.
Left to itself, sweet cider soon becomes
hard. Hard cider is intoxicating, and,
on account Of the difficulty in determin-
ing Just when alcohol begins to enter
into sweet cider many temperance peo-
pie are inclined to put the ban on all
cider.
Vinegar Is obtained by placing bar
rels of cider In the sun or In warm
cellar. The bungholes Of the barrels
are always left open. Mother of vine
gar is put into each barrel in small
quantities, and helps in the transforma-
tion Of cider to vinegar. very large
the present-day cider mill is eventually
turned into vinegar.
1t is fact not appreciated by every
one that the quality of cider, and the
other products of the cider as well, Is
dependent upon the kind Of apples that
are used. Those people who Insist on
using the scrubs OF the orchard for
cider cannot expect the best results.
In some states apples are grown espe-
cially for cider. A ripe apple and one
that Is particularly full of juice will
make better cider, better jelly and bet
ter apple butter than ones that do not
possess these qualities. Among the
common varieties of apples the Bald
win Is much desired for the cider mill.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.

EUGENE Sept. 2G.--The University
of Oregon opened its doors Tuesday,
September cath. The first and second
days registration has shown an increase
OF more than 20 per cent over the re-
gistration Of the same time last year.
Almost every high school and academy
in the state is represented. and a large
number are presenting credentials from
eastern preparatory schools. The year
will mark the highest point in enroll
ment that the University has yet reach
ed. The very serious question that is
presenting itself is how to take care OF
all students. The lack of funds has
made it impossible to furnish and heat
all of the rooms in the library build
ing and for the same reason, the new
girls dormitory will have to lie idle
for the year. Students, however, are
adjusting themselves readily to the con-
ditions, and the outlook for the years
work is exceptionally good.

There is a prevailing impression in
Astoria that something big 10 going 70
happen in the way OF. developing the
city before the end OF another year.
Optimism is the keynote Of a great deal
Of talk which is in circulation. and the
spirit ot boosting is taking q strong hold
OF many of the citizens.
The continual visits OF railroad mag
mates, engineers, surveyors, and inves.
tors to this section are being noted with
the keenest interest, and with the ar
rival OF every man of prominence in
railroad matters, rumors begin to go the
rounds with remarkable rapidity,
Even the most staid people OF the city
are becoming innoculated with enthus.
iasm. which has arrived after close
study OF the situation from, all sides.
Pcssimists are few and far between, and
the man who doubts the future great
ness OF Astoria in the past few months
does not get much OF hearing from the
majority Of the citizsns.
The establishment OF new institutions
in the city have been very stimulating,
and the fact that those prophets Of pro-
gress, the real estate men, are beginning
to get very active in Astoria, has also
added to the feeling that there will be
big things going on in the city before
many months.
The interest shown in this district by
the Northern Pacific officials has contri.
buted to no small part in the making
OF optimists, That railroad OF such
huge interests should select this section
OF the west, when il is so actively en-
gagged in other parts OF the country, al
field for extensive endeayor. Is being
noted and salted down by the landed
owners of the city and county.
One OF the most stimulating features
OF Astoria's grasp for a share OF the
general progress throughout the coun'
try, is the work OF the Chamber OF Com
merce. That body has not been blocke,
in anything which 1t has gone after
with spirit, and this has produced I
feeling among its members that ther'
are great possibilities for it to overcome
in the making OF a great seaport an'
metropolis OF this section.
Words OF praise for the location o
the city are heard from every new ar
rival. In almost every case the new
comers have added to the general feel
ing that Astoria at last is to come int
her own as the shipping port of th'
Northwest coast, and that nohing car
stop her progress.

GRANTS PASS. Or. Sept, 26.-Judge
Hanna yesterday afternoon dismissed
Jasper Jennings from custody. Jasper
was convicted OF numbering his father
two years ago in cabin near here.
The trial was long and expensive TO the
county. After Jasper's conviction his
sister, Dora, who has since died, was
placed on trial Tor the same offense, but
was acquitted. The supreme court or
dered new trial OF Jasper on techni-
calities, and his dismissal is due to the
fact that many of the witnesses at the
former trial have moved away and the
expense of new trial would be enor-
nous. Judge Hanna's action meets
with public approval.

gated their holdings briefly while max

MAKE WAR MUNITIoN.
Pacific Coast Armories and Magazines
Are Being Lilled With Supplies.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 26.-The
United States Navy and War Depart
ments have issued orders for the prep
aration of munitions in the Pacific
Coast armories and magazines are being
filled with supplies and hundreds of ad.
ditional men have been employed for the
work within the last few months. Ac-
tivities have increased remarkably at
the Mare Island Navy Yard, where the
force OF men employed in the magazine
has increased from half dozen to al
most two hundred. Stores and supplies
are being placed in all of the army de-
pots. Each cruiser and warship arriving
in port are being equipped with full
supply OF powder and shells. The trans
port Warren. though scarcely fit for a
voyage, has been ordered to the Philip
pines with a cargo Of miles and other
war materials. Government agents offer
no explanation.
The coming of the big feet of cruis-
ers, battleships and desrtoyers to this
coast Is said to be the cause of the ac.
tivity at the Mare Island Navy Yard,
where a few months ago there were a
half dozen men at work in the maya
zines, situated at the southern end of
the Island, and where now 200 skilled
employees are working overtime making
powder and shells for the warships.
Carloads of powder for the big guns Of
the navy are received at the navy yard
ami put in readiness for instant use
and huge shells are loaded and piled up
in convenient places.
