The radicntly colored leaves of the October morning were drilting down on the walk; the distant woous were glowing like a Riant kaleido scope, and the eweet, pine-scented air was blue with the intense blue ness of an American autumn, as Dr. Dulany sauntered down the village street , "My lots have fallen in pleasant places." said he to himself. 4 When old Doctor Holden asked me to come here and take charge of his practice for three months while he went to Europe, I had no idea that I was stepping into an earthly para dise like this, and" But at this moment a tall, square shoulhered young man stopped, di rectly in front of him, holding out a welcoming hand. "No ln cried he. "Surely my sens ' cs can't be playing me false 1 It is Frank Dulany I And what m the name of all the heathen gods has brought you here ?" Dulany laughed. "I knew you lived somewhere in this vicinety," said he ; "I am here in charge of old Holden's patients for three months, before I go South for the rest of my life. Tell me something about Mossbridgc and the Mossbridgians." Mr. Kirke linked his arm in that of his friend, and together they walk ed down toward the little stone hos pital on the shore of the river, where incurable diseases, gratis-patients end outdoor relief were dumped to gether, as they often are in country towns ; and as they walked they talked, with the careless abandon ment of college friends. "Hut you havn't told me anything about the ladies," said Dulany care lessly. 'I'm coming to that," Eaid Kirke. "We have a dozen pretty girls, at the verv least, but only one beauty. And I tell vou what "Dulany, you had better taware of Geralda G ran ger." "And why ?" Dulany asked. "Because' Kirke laughingly made answer, "she is a merciless lieauty a slaughterer of human hearts' in fine, a firt-clas co quette." "And you think I shall become one of her victims ?" said Doctor Dulany. "Think ?" echoed Kirke, "I don't think at all I'm quite sure of it !" "But I'm only a poor old country doctor. Why should she trouble herself about'me, if she is, as you sav, such a peerless beauty ?" "Because' eaid Kirke, "she'd flirt with a chimney-sweep, if there was no one else on hand upon whom she might whet her powers." It's in her. She's bound to rule human hearts, and trample on them after ward." "And how have you escaped this common doom of all mankind ?" asked Dulany. "I haven't," Kirke answered with a comical grimace. "My scalp hangs at her belt with half a hundred oth ers. She refused me a year ago. She don't mean to marry in Moss bridge. She has announced her de termination to become the bride of some city millionaire ; and I think she'll do" it, too for, by George she's handsome enough to be a crown princess 1" Doctor Dulany thought over all these things afterward, when he was by himself in his little office. "I don't mean to become the prey of this rural Cleopatra," he eaid to himself ; "and I rather think that my obscurity is my security." "The young doctor who has tiken old Holden's practice, eh ?" said Miss Granger, a little disdainfully, "lie is to be at Miss Mix b to-night, is he ? Very well I 6hall soon dis pose of him !"

And then "Geralda cried more bit terly than ever, and Aunt Susie was hopelessly puzzled. Doctor Dulany was at the hospit al, next day, just at twilight, and as lie came into the feverish wards a soft-gray shadow glided out at the other doorway. "Who is that ?" he asked quickly. "Not old Kate, nor yet Miss Alice Evans." "It's Miss Granger, sir," said the head nurse. "Alice has the neural gia in her face, and Miss Granger would take her place." "She must not do it again," said Doctor Dulany, with quiet authori ty. "I am not quite sure of the non con tigious character of some of these cases." "She Eays, sir," said the old nurse, "that she wants to do some good in the world. But we was to be sure and not tell you, sir." Doctor Dulany smiled. "There arc more wnvs of doin good in the world tL..i one," said he. "And Mis9 Granger must come here no more." He hurried through the various wards and made such good speed back along the lonely road that he overtook the gray, gliding shadow at the entrance to the village street. "Miss Granger," said he, "I detect ed your Identitv at once." "What of it?" retorted Geralda, almost fiercely. "I suppose I had a right to entcr'a public hospital so long as my uncle pays taxes for its support" "Possibly," said Doctor Dulany ; "but it is my desire that you will not come there again." 'Is it, then, an offense even to cross your path ?" indignantly cried Geralda. "Not in the least ; but" "I know I have known all along," went on the girl choking down the angry sobs in her throat, "that you hated the sight of me ; but you have no right actually to tell me so ! h, I am so wretched ! I wish that I were dead." Doctor Dulany planted himself directly across the path, so that she could neither walk over, under, nor around him. "Miss Granger," said he, "will you be kind enough to tell me what you mean ?" "No!" flashed out the girl, "I wont !" "But you shall !" quietly declared the doctor. "The reason that I did not want vou to enter the hospital, is that I have an idea that some of those fever cases partake of the ty phoid nature, and " "What then?" said Geralda. "What have I to live for that I should shrink from exposing my self?" "Everything !" said the doctor. "Nothing 1" said Geralda. "Nevertheless," said Doctor Dula y, quietly, "I forbid you running nhe risk." "What is it to you ?" she cried, passionately. "It I dreamed that vou oared whether I lived or died V She stopped suddenly, with crim tsoninz cheeks. Had she said too much ? "I do care," said Doctor Dulany "Very much, indeed.

The Slim Teacher. "Mister, no doubt you have all tho learnin' that's required in a school teacher, but it want more than learnin' to make a man able to teach school in Cranberry Gulch. You'll soon find that out if you try. We've had three who tried it once. One lays there in the graveyard ; another lost hi3 eye ; the last one opened school and left before noon time for the benefit of his health. He hasn't been back since. Now you're a slender build, and all your learnin' will only make it worse, for our young folks arc roughs and don't stand no nonsense." This is what one of tho trustees of the district said to my friend Harry Flotoe. when he. made an applica tion for the vacant position ot teacher. Ix;t me try. I know I am slender but I am tough and have a strong will, said Harry. "Just as you" like. There's . the school house, and I'll have the no tice given if you want it done," said the trustee. "I do," s:iid Harry, "and I'll open next Monday at S a. m." The notice was given and there was a ereat deal of excitement in the gulch and along the Yuba Hats. More than fifty young people ot bom sexes made an excuse to drop into the tavern to get a sight at the fel low who thought he could keep school in that district, and many a contemptuous glance fell on the slen der form and youthful face of the would-be teacher. Eight o'clock on Monday morn inir came, and Harrv Flotoe went down to the school house with a key in one hand and a valise in the oth er. Heady to slope, if he finds we re too much for him," said the cross eyed, broad-shoulder n boy of eigh teen. The school house was unlocked and the new teacher went to Ins desk. Some of the folks went to see what he was coing to do, though the school was not called. Harry opened his valise and took out a large belt Then, after buckling it around his waist he nut three Colt s revolvers there, each six barrels, and a bowie knife eighteen inches m the uiaue. "Thunder ! he means business !'' muttered the cross-eyed chap. The new teacher now took out a square card about four inches each way. walked to the otner ena oi mo room and ticked it up against the wall Returning to his desk he drew a revolver from his belt and quick as thought sent ball after ball into the card, till there were 6ix balls in a spot not much larger than a silver dollar. By this time the school house was full of larec bovs and girls. The little ones were afraid to come in. Then the teaclu r walked half way down the room with a bowie knife in his hand, and threw it with so true a hand that it struck, quivering, in the center of the card. He left it there and quietly put two move of the same kind in his belt and reloaded his yet smoking pistol. "King the bell ; I am about to open school." He spoke to the cross-eyed boy, the bully of the crowd, and the boy rang the bell without a word. "The scholars will take their seats; I open school with a prayer," he said, sternly, five minutes later. The scholars sat down silently, il- most breathless. After the prayer the teacher cocked a revolver and walked down the floor. "We will arrange the classes," he said, "all who can read, write and spell will rise. Of them we will form the first class." Onlv six cot up. lie escorted them to upper seats, and then be gan to examine the rest A whisper was heard behind him. In asecond he wheeledrevolver n hand, "No whispering allowed here !" he thundered, and for an instant his re volver lav on a level with the cross eyed boy's head. "1 will not do so any more, gasp ed the bully. "See that you do not. I never give a second warning," said tho teacher, and the revolver fell. It took two hours to organize the classes, but when done they were all organized. Then came recess. The teacher went out, too, for the room was crowded and hot A h:iwk was cir cling over head, high in the air. The teacher drew his revolver, and themxt second the hawk came tum bling down among the wonderful scholars.

Of a Mongol father, a traveler writes, '.'he smelied from time to time the head of his youngest son, a mark of parental tenderness usual among the Mongols instead of embracing." In the Phil ippine islands we are told "the senss of smell is developed to so great a degree that they are able, by smell ing at the pocket handkerchiefs, to tell to which person they belong; and lovers, at parting, exchange pieces of linen they may be wearing and during their separation inhale the odor of the beloved being." Among the Citagong-hill people, again, it is said, "the manner of kiss ing is peculiar. Instead of pressing lip to lip, they place the nose and mouth upon the cheek, and inhale the breath strongly." Their form of speech is not "Give me a kiss," but "Smell me." In the same way, ac cording to another traveler, "the Burmese do not kiss each other in the Western fashion, but apply the lips and nose to the cheek and make a strong inhalation." Moreover, "the Samoans salute by juxtaposi tion of noses accompanied not by a rub but a hearty smell. There is scriptural precedent for 6uch cus toms. When blind Isaac was in doubt whether the son who came to him was Jacob or not, "he smelied the smell of his raiment, and blessed him."

The Diphtheria Plant. Some light was thrown on the or igin of diphtheria in a lecture be fore the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, of l'rot. Horatio C. Wood, who gave the result of his researches in connection with Dr. Henry F. Formad, involving the important discovery that this fatal an insidu'His disease is propagated by a micricopic plant or fungi, ex isting in iiil human beings, especial ly in the mouth and throat, but lack ing the power of reproduction until given increased vitality by those disordered conditions of mucous membrane which attend sore throat when caused by cold. The investi gations were made at an instance of the National Boara ot Health, ana extended, not only to the phenome na attending the ordinary endemic diphtheria existing in Philadelphia, but to the more violent iorm occur ring from time to time in different places. Dr. Formad visited an in fective town on Lake Michigan, where one-third of all the children in a marshy district died of epidem ic, and brought back with him spec imens of the diphtheric virus, sever al of the false membranes which tre invariably formed in the throats of afflicted persons, and portions of vicera. In all blood, said the Pro fessor, there are two kinds of corpus les,the red or color-giving, and white. By careful study and experiments, both in human beings and the low er animals, it was found that this infinitesimal plant fastens upon the white corpuscles and multiplies its cells, altering their character until, wilh the interior destroved, they burst, and the plants, set loose in an unregular mass, separate and go off individually, to continue the de structive work on other corpuscles. Thus increased they poison the blood, choke the vessels, and are found in myriad numbers in the spleen and bone marrow, where the blood is manufactured. Prof. Wood's investigations show that the false membrane, supposed to inva riably indicate the presence of diph theria, may be caused by ammonia, Spanish fly, or any other influence in the throat, so that its presence is not infallible as indicating the exist ence of this disease. But in any case the false membrane is built up by thio parasitical plant, which grows and multiplies upon its in flamed surroundings, whatever may be its cause. It is when the plants grow strong enough to extend to the blood, either poisoning it them selves or carrying the poison with them, that diphtheria sets in. This little plant i3 the same as found up on a coated tongue. Whe'i Prof. Wood put plants such as are found upon a healthy tongue in sterilized matter they failed to grow. On the contrary, plants from the throat or blood of a person affected with diphtheria multiplied rapidly. The practical result of the investigation pointed out was the possibility that diphtheria, if existing theories hold j good, may be prevented by artifi ciai vaccination, ln the case of splenic fever caught from animals, which has been proved to originate in a somewhat similar plant. Pas ture has been found that tho plant, when exposed a sufhcient time to the air, by the action or oxygen, loses poisonous character, and when introduced into the system makes the animal sick, but is no longer fa tal. The deduction is that this diphtheric plant, scientifically know as "mictococi," may in time be cul tivated so that when inoculated with the system will be no longer subject to the disease in its fatal form. Dry Karth Bedding. If any one will observe when the cows choose to lie down in the yard or pasture, it will be seen that they choose the bare ground, rather than the sod or bedding of straw. The same is true of sheep. We have taken this hint and furnished the cow-stables with dry earth bedding. Leaves and straw are poor absorb ents in comparison. In the pigpens dry earth has no equaL In very cold weather we add straw or leaves but until the weather is very cold, the animals will be more comforta ble with a bed of fresh soil, or of soil changed once a fortnight or week. In the chicken-house we have learn ed its great value as a deodorizer. Our roosts are over a sloping floor, on which we occasionally scatter dry earth. The droppines roll down into a pile of dry earth. This is turned over with a shovel each week or oftcner, and we can say the chicken-house is free from any offen sive odor, and the bright combs and glossy feathers tell of the health of the fowls. Dry earth is a good pre ventive, too, of vermin on cattle, pigs and ioultry. It must be procured at a dry time,' and stored under a shed or m the stables. It not only prouootw neatness and health, but saves the very elements of the man ures which make them most valua ble, and most of which would evap orate if not absorbed by the dry earth. Wre do not like it as a bed ding in the horse stables, but it should be found in every stabie, to sprinkle the floor with as soon as the bedding is removed in the morn ing. When removed from the sta bles, styes and coops, it should be kept under cover for spring use, or for drilling with the wheat in the fall. A Fine Park. A Frenchman has leased a large tract of waste country in the south of Algeria, and proposes turning it into a lion and panther preserve. Old horses, mules and asses that have seen the end of their useful ness, will le purchased and sent thither, and these will act as the bait to lure into the preserve any wild animals of the surrounding country. Those who wish to indulge in lion and panther shooting, not to speak of such small game as lynxes, jack als and tiger cats, will "be supplied with the necessary outfit Those who are bold can shoot at their game from the open, but for the nervous, ambuscades will be provided, from which shooting can bd done without the least danger of a counter attack.

A Boston florist commends plac ing a layer of oats underneath the usual layer of sand in which slips of rare and tender plants are to be started. The oats when soaked with moisture exude a mucilaginous substance that acts as a food and stimulant to the slips. Milk readily absorbs every odor, whether agreeable or disagreeable, and catches every variety of ferment which may chance to come in con tact with it from the air. It should be carefully protected against all such influences and kept in pure air out of the reach of all noxjous smells. Of all poultry breeding the rear ing of the goose in favorable situa tions is 6aid to be the least trouble some and most profitable. It is not surprising, therefore, that the trade lias of late years been enormously developed. Geese will live to a cer tain extent and thrive on the coars est grasses. A writer to the Elmira Club says : "1 had a hog that was completely covered with lice. I was told to put black machine oil on and I did. I took a spring-bottom can and with it gave the hog a good greasing. One dose thoroughly eradicated both lice and nits. That was last sum mer and the hog has not been trou bled with lice since. Anybody hav ing stock troubled with lice will find a sure cure in the oil." A few years since, says a writer, had an old pasture that had almost run out, covered with weeds and patched with moss. I mixed a few barrels of salt and wood ashes, and applied about two barrels of the mixture per acre, covering about half of the lot. The result surprised me. Before fall the moss had near ly ali disappeared, and the weeds were rapidly following suit, while the grass came in thick, assuming a dark-green color, and made fine pas turaze. The balance of the lot re mained unproductive as before, but the lollowmg year it was salted, with like results. Measured by the Kye. A correspondent of a Boston pa per suggests that the children should be exercised in measuring by the eye. He says that years ago, when he went to school in a little weather beaten schoolhousc, the scholars had most exciting contests over the teacher's favorite exercise of having them estimate with the eye the size and weisrht ot dillerent obiects in the room. He would hold up his cane and have each scholar tell how long he thought it was, and it was a lucky child that could come within a half a foot of the right length. He would measure an urchin and then have the scholars try to repro duce the measure on the wall. He would mark, off an inch, or a foot, or a yard, in some conspicuous place, and then see how near anybody could come to chalking the same length upon the blackboard. And it was astonishing how wide astray one would go. i ho fact is, our eyes deceive us ridiculously, even upon the commonest things. At first thought which would you say were the taller, a three-year-old child or a barrel of flour? And could anything but actual measure ment convince you that the same child is half as high as a six-footer ? There is an old saying that a child two years old is half as tall as he ever will be, and after a few experi ments in measuring one can easily believe it, but not before. Reports of the Potato Crop. Reports to the Department of Agricultural show that the general average of the condition of the poti to crop 6ince September first was 70, a decline of 22 per cent since Au gust first. The condition last Sep tember was UU. Severe and protract ed drought is the chief cause of the unfavorable outlook, though there ore serious complaints in some local ities of insect injuries. The New England States in the east and Wis consin, Minnesota, and most of the Teritories in the west, have been in a great degree exempt from the dis astrous effects of the drought, and their average of the earlier part of the season has been more nearly maintained, but in the interior States the general condition has been one of extreme dryness, which has in jured both potatoes and corn most seriously. The general average of seven States, New York, Pennsylva nia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wis consin and Iowa, which together produce three-fifths of the crop of the country, is GX, or within 2 per cent of the average of the whole country.

The following is from a speech by Governor St John, and aimed at the men who are always prating about sumptuary laws : "Now, we are told that no law can be enforced to regulate what we eat, drink and wear, and I reply that we have been living under laws ever since our government was founded that have regulated what we eat, drink and wear. Ix;t one ot your citizens come in here dressed in the old fig-leaf fashion, to-night, and you will find a law upon our statute books regulating what you shall wear. It compels you to come in here dressed in accordance with the demands of common decency. It tells the groceryman that he shall not adulterate his tea or colfee, and he cannot get a license for doing so. It tells the millcT that he shall not ndulterate his flower ; the milkman that he n)iy live near the creek, but that he shall not visit its shores too often. A statute of the United States says that you shall not sell intoxi cating liquor to Indians. Kemem ber that a white man is as good as an Indian and is there a single rea son why we should give the protec tion of prohibition to the wild sav- azes of tho plains and withhold it! from the civilized white man f It it is good for the one it is good lor the other. You cannot, under our laws, cruelly kick you own dog ; be cause wo have a statute prohibiting cruelty to animals. You cannot get a license to kick dogs ; it makes no difference how great a petition you present ; it makes no difference how much money you may oiler, you cannot get a license for any such purpose. Just a little further over m this statute book it tells you that at all seasons of the year you are prohibited from killing turkey buz zards. Is it not high time wa were giving as great protection to the boys of Kansas as we give to the dogs and turkey buzzards of the state ? We protect the buzzards we protect the dogs but we have been licensing the destruction of the boys. In this triangular fight be tween the buzzard, the dog and the boy, I am for the boy all the time." Bells for Sheep. The cheapest and best insurance against dogs killing sheep are bells plenty of bells. The sheep doz is a ereat coward when in pursuit of mischief, and he wants to do it qui etly wants no noise, no alarm. Bells bought at wholesale do not cost much. Buy a side of bridle leather at the carrier's for collars, and put a bell on every sheep in yopr flock if small. The price of one sheep will buy a gross of bells and leather enough and buckles to strap them. Put this gross of bells on a flock of sheep and they will frighten every dog out of the field. Flock masters are slow to adopt a simple and chepp remedy like this, but will go to the legislature, hire lobb' influence, and spend large sums of money to a little purpose. Members af the legislature are fond of dogs themselves, and do not want them taxed. They own no sheep, nor care but little about their pro tection. S' Hither n Farmer. Butter K;v.i!jf Spoiled. Of all the product of the farm, butter is the most h..lile to be taint ed by noxious odors ilnating in the atmosphere. Our people laid some veal in the cellar, from w hich a lit tle blood flowed out, ami was ne glected until it commenced to smell. The result was that a jar of butter we were packing smelied and tasted like spoiled beef. We know of an instance where there was a pond of filthy stagnant water a few hundred feet from the house, from which an offensive effluvium would be borne on the breeze directly to the milk room when the wind wr.s in a cer tain direction, the result of which was that the cream and butter would tiste like the disagreeable odor coming from the pond. As soon as the pond was drained there was no more damaged butter. It is remarkable how easily butter is spoiled. Suit-ide of a Rejected Iiover. Richmond, Va., October 27.
