And the auctioneer, v ho was also the civilian clerk in the poet onartertnaster s cmce, tenderly ca resaed the face, gray with age, ot the little brown mule, and, brushing his fcuud across bis own eye, walked 6lowly lack to his dek in the office. Wench was ld off to the blacksmith shop to be branded on the left of the iieck, "L C S." "inspected, condemn ed, sold." Twelve other mules had passed under the hammer ahead cf her that morning and then to the branding iron. The lart one before her was Jim, whose neck was still snicking with the turning mark of condemnation. Be bad irone for f 15.50. Two years ago the quartermaster bad pic ked out Wench and Jlin to submit to the inspector for condemnation, but one at a time the teamsters bad all come to plead for their retention, and he bad yielded to their entreaties. Last year again he had marked them for the lint, but again gave way to the teaniFteis. But tfci: time the chief qnartermarter stepped in with bis authority, and, re marking that there was no place in tho quartermaster's department for senti ment, ordered Wench and Jim to be condemned and sold. For more than a score of years these two little beasts have faithfully served the government, and all thi time they have been mates. la the pack train they jogged along together; in the wagon train they pulled over tbe same spreader ; in the camp they ate out of tbe same feed box ; in the stable they stood in the tame stall; in tbe corral they were al ways fonnd side by ide. Tonight, ft the first time in this quarter century, they 'will be apart, for Jim was bought by Mr. Hammond, and Wench was knocked down to Mr. Carl, and Uncle Sam's exchequer is richer by f 30.50. Ho place for sentiment In the quar termaster's department! Of course not, yet "breathes there the man with soul to dead" that be does not believe these two little dumb creatures will miss each other this night and many a night?

Against tbe name ol eacH mule on the list stood the legend, "Old and worn out in service." There were old Rooney and Bevis and Boss and SchacCfer aud the rest of the teamsters who have driven and packed these mules over thousands of miles of mountain and prairie. Are they to be laughed at for wearing sad faces now? Yet they bore the ordeal like men good and true until Jim was led out. Then yon conld see their sleeves, one after another, drawn across their eyet "This here's awful, boys," old Roonoy remarked. "I can't stand it I'd rather nee the gover'mect bust than see them two mules aold." "You're right, Rooney," old Bevis spoke. "A gover'mect mean enough to 11 them two mules ain't lit to stand.

After the sale was over a farmer, wearing a canvas overcoat that he bad bought at a previous sale of condemned stuff and that Ixire in tbe middle of the back the big black letters, "L CI," t-tepped up to the teamsters and asked why they hated so i .uch to see the last two mules olL "Why?" a:-ked old Sehaeffer, half an gry, tn.siug the moisture off bis wrin kled cheek.

YET THEY HAVE CUT QUITE A FIG URE IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY, The Worm Ha ' Eye aad Ma Senas of Hearing, bnt Is Sensitive to Strong Light aad Vibrations of Sound Object of An tiquity Preserved by Earthworms. The common earthworm, despised by man and heedlessly trodden underfoot. fulfills a part in nature that would seem incredible but for the facts revealed by lie patient and long continued researches of Darwin. "Worms, - says uarwiu. "have plaved a more important part in the history cf tho world than most per sona would at first suppose. " Let tut follow Darwin and see how this appar eutly insignificant creature has changed the face of nature. We will first consider the habits and mode of life of the earth worm. As every one knows, the worms live In burrow iu the superficial layer of the ground. They can live anywhere in a layer of earth, provided it retains moisture, dry air being latai to mem. Tbey can, on the other hand, exist sub mersed in water for several niontns. They live chiefly in tbe superficial mold less than a foot below the surface, but in long continued dry weather and in very cold seasons tbey may barrow to a depth of eight feet Tbe burrows are lined by a thin layer of earth, voided by the worms, and end in small cnazn bers in which tbey can turn round. The burrows are formed partly by pushing away the earth, but chiefly by the earth being swallowea. irge quan tios of earth are swallowed by the worms for the sake of the decomposing vegetable matter contained in it on which they feed. The earth thus swal lowed is voided in spiral heaps, forming the worm castings. In this case the worm obtains food and at tbe aame time excavates its burrows. In addition to the food thus obtained half decayed leaves are dragged into the burrows, mainly for food, but also to plug the mouths of the burrows for the sake cf protection. v orms are aiso ioua of meat, especially fat They will also eat the dead bodies of their relatives. They are nocturnal in habit, remaining. as a rule, in the burrows during the day aud coming out to feed at night The earthworm has no eyes, bnt is affected by strong light if exposed to it for 6ome time. It has no sense of hear iug. but is sensitive to the vibrations of sound. The whole body is sensitive to touch. There appears to be some sense of smell, but this is limited to a certain articles of food, which are discovered by tbe worm when buried in earth, in preference to other bodies not relished. The worm appears to have some degree of intelligence from tbe way in which it draws tbe leave into its burrows, al ways judging which is the best end to draw them in by. This is remarkable in so lowly organized an animal, being degree of intelligence not possessed by many animals ct more complex organi ration. For instance, tbe ant can often be 6een dragging objects along traversely instead of taking them the easiest way. As we have seen, vast quantities of earth are continually being passed through the bodies of worms aud voided on the surface as castiiiKS. When it is stated that the number of worms in an acre of ordinary land suitable for them to live in is 53,000, we can imagine tbe great effect which they mnst have on the soil. They are, in fact, continually plow iug the land. At one part of the ali mentary canal of the worm is a gizzard. or bard muscular organ, capable of grinding food into fine particles. It is this gizzard which is the main factor in triturating tho soil, and it is aided by Email stones swallowed with the earth. which act as millstones. In consequence of the immense amount of earth continually being brought to the surface by worms it is not difficult to understand how objects. such as stones, rocks, eta, lying on the surface will in course of time become gradually buried in the ground. Owing to tbe burial of stones and other objects by the action of worms, a'icieut monu ments, portions of Roman villas and other objects of antiquity have bera pre served. These have been gradually buried by tbe worms and so preserved from tbe destructive effect of rain and wind. Many Roman remains were stud ied bj Darwin, and traces of the ac tion of worms found, to which action their preservation was mainly doe. The sinking of the foundations of old build ings is due to the action of worms, and no building is safe from this unless the foundations are laid lower than the level at which tbe worms can work namely, about eight feet below the sur face. Another useful effect produced by worms is tbe preparation of the soil for the growth of seedlings. By their agency the soil Li periodically sifted and expos ed to the air, and in this way is able to retain moisture and absorb soluble sub stances of nse for the nutrition of plants. Knowledge.

The Corn And Cow Peas- Corn is the leading money crop of farmers in thl9 country, and how U in crea.se the yield from year to year Is a problem that confronU the progressive agriculturist more than most anything else. In some special localities other crops may lead, but for the general fanner all over the country, corn itself, or turned into pork or bj3f, i . the source of the greater portion of farm revenue. As the years go by it be comes more difficult to grow good corn on average lands, for the reaoii tliut the soil has lost much of iU porosity and ability to hold moisture. Corn luxuriates in the warmth it find in the open texture of new lands filled with decaying leaves and roots, and the vegetable mold that has been accu mulating in forests and prairies for ages past. Cultivation changes this condition rapidly, humus disappears, and roots can not run so freely aa they do in a loose vegetable loam. Much of what .used to be the very best kind of corn land in this country will no longer bring a paying crop of corn because of this deficiency of vege table matter in the soiL It isn't be cause the lands are worn out or ex hausted of their fertility so much as it is a lack of humus. Drouth also geU in iU dangerous work upon lauds loug carelessly cultivated, and the only wonder is that the crop Is as good as it is on the average. The lesson to be learned and practiced first of all is that of keeping humus in the soil where we to grow our corn. If, by any hook or crook, we can add vegetable matter to our lands abund antly, there is no reason w hy we can't grow a crop year after year without rest or rotation. But on most farms a judicious rotation is best, always managing to have a good clover crop to turn under when the time comes round for corn. Too few farmers even do this, and when they have a big crop of clover that might and ought to be turned down for corn, they either pas ture or mow jt off for stock feed, and only get back enough manure from same to touch up tbe poor part a. What the regular corn grower needs is some sort of a catch crop to rotate with his corn. Corn isn't as hard on laud as wheat or oats, aud if some lux uriant leguminious crop could lie sown on the land ii) lute summer aud fall, to be turned under entirely for the rn land ought to be cropped, every year and get better all the while. We be lieve that in this latitude the right sort of cow pea may yet prove to be the best of catch crops for the corn grower, and w e trut that all our readers who feel a deep interest in tlii matter may try some sort of catch crop the coming season, and all together we may learn something that will be worth a great deal to us iu tlie future. Crimson clov er, rye or winter oats do pot make enough growth in the late fall to fill the bill in this particular, and we think exprinienU would best be made with some other crop, of which we think the cow pea the most promising.

The comnienU of Paderewski and Marsick, the violinist, tijxin the Chin ese music they heard in Chicago dur- iug their excursions Into Chinatown are interesting. To the majority of visitors, musical or otherwise, the sounds extracted by an orchestra of Mongolians froru their primitive ban joes aud guitars is harder to endure than the screeching of the bagpipes or the blaring of the tomton. (treat then was the surprise when Paderwski ex pressed not only appreciation but ap probation of the music executed by the champion artists of Chinatown. After awarding it the closest attention he announced that it was not only har monious, but was dominated by a just and restraining seuse of art, showing an advanced instead of a crude state of musical development This is what the Chinese themselves say. It is our music they think primitive. Marsick, however, is of quite a different opin ion. He says he can find neither form nor lieauty nor art in the liewildering whiuniug and braying of a Chinese musical composition. He says that it undoubtedly contains harmonics, and that what is known among the com mon herd as tunes occasionally apjiear in it, aud wander on with constant repetitions and variation of the origi nal theme. But to find in it any ex pression of advanced art is to him im possible. Like the rest of the world, he thinks it music in the savage state, the tentative attempts of a people who have not yet got as far as "Little An nie Roonev." Cariosities of Patents.

As the season draws near for mak ing hay, the prospect for a good crop la assured, and there is also a growing de sire on my part to whisper in the ear of every man In the State of Kansas who expecU to have any hay to sell, and suggest that he take care of it at th e right time. My desire is to whisper it loud enough to make an impression on the wax that has accumulated in the aforesaid ear, so that it may play the phonograph aud keep grinding out the injunction until the grass Is all rut, cured and baled, and on IU way to market It needs care and attention all the way. The hay crop of Kansas is said to be valued at (13,000,000. That's a good deal of money more than most of us will make iu thirteen years. Now, thirteeu is an unlucky number, so I've heard, but if the hay crop of Kansas is worth $13,000,000, as it is usually taken care of, it can just as well be worth 5J),0U0,000 and $JO,000,OX) is a luckier number than $13,000,009. The hay crop Is more valuable than the wheat crop, but lu most cases it does not receive nearly so much attention. We talk about our wheat with our neigh bors. The newspapers publish the crop bulletin aud comment on the wheat. The "bulls" aud "bears" wrestle with each other on the market. We plow and harrow and buy seed wheat, and drill in the fall ; we watch it come up and watch it all winter and spring; we harvest it, thresh it and then hul it off to market and sell for 40c what cost us 50c or 00c. t But the grass, like Tonsy, "just grows," and after we have disposed of our 40c wheat and laid our oorn by, aud plowed up the ground for more wheat, we go and cut down the grass In our meadows. We have nothing else to do. If we have had plenty of rain we havl more hay than we need If very much more, we buy a hay press ; if not very much, we get neigh bor Fisher to bale it, and we ship it to market When we get returns on it the commission man says: "Your hay graded No. 3 and No. 4." Why ? Because it was pot cut soon enough. Home of jt was allowed to lay iq the sun too long; some of it got wet. Jt sold on tbe market for $3 per ton Choice or No. 1 hay was selling for $ to $7, aud scarce. Freight just the same on lioth grades, cost just as much to cut it, bale it and load it The mor al is plain. Some one who reads this will say: "That feljow is talking through his hat," but I could quote a little Scripture right here which would be applicable : "We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen.' Some of our friends who have given siiecial attention to the hay business have realized the importance of send ing the best grades of hay to market, and give their hay crop the same care ful attention as their wheat Short, but Ah! How Sweet! The liveliest event of the week in romanu is tue unique proposal of a bashful young man, the story of which was too good to keep. The young nian nau iieen in love w ith a certain young lady for a long time, but had never dared put his affections to the test. At a social party a i-bort time ago it happened that a liold rival took the young lady in to dinner. Something in the rival's demeanor, or the damsel's smile, told the bashful one that it was now or never. Tearing a leaf from his notebook, Jie hastily scribbled; "Will you lie my wife?" and signed his name. Hailing a waiter, he told him to hand it to the young lady. She read it, glanced up uneoticernedly and said: "Tell the gentleman 'Yes. " Then she turned and smiled at the last re mark of the rivaL Lewistou Journal Very Good English.

What is lovelier than the cherry first the delicate silvery white masses of lacelike blossoms, and then the ripe fruit, showing its red among tbe green leaves, and delighting the eyes of rob ins and children? The following col lection of recipes will show in how many ways the fruit may be used: CHERKY MERINGUE. Make a rich pie crust, a third of an inch thick, and bake a light brown. Have your cherries stoned and sweet ened liberally and stewed in their ( wa juice until quite thick. Pour into lie pastry, aud have ready the white :f three eggs beaten as stiff as jossi ie, with three tablespoonfuls of powdt ,-d sugar. Spread this smoothly over the clterries and k t the pie bake again un til it is a light brown. Serve cold. I'll Lit UY TART AND TAKTI.ETSJ. Prepare a light, flaky puff paste, and put into a large pie plate, and several small ones. Flute the edges with a fork. Stone the cherries and stew in their own juice, well sweetened. When done take off the fire, let them cool, then fill the pastry and sprinkle thickly with white sugar. Or they may be covered with pastry and served hot, if preferred.
