HOW THE PLAN WORKED. fx ntixji rvuEyr craves. " Yocr white roses at e just coming into bnd, Laly," said AMrkh Coue, as he came ia from the garden. "Blossom UeJge i tt iU ptruiest now." The cfe exhiilel a pleasant odor, tbe fresh-lsakeJ biscuits were of the moet delicate brown, aad the chicken broiled to a torn, but Mrs. Cone'o Cice wore a most tragic expression, as the sat with an o(en letter in her hand.. -AUrich," said she, bysterically, " what am I to do? Here's your aant Ef Eatrbam coming here next week with her six children and the narae ! They've had the measles, it seenu, and the doctor has jrescriled country air, so they have decided to inflict a focr wet-ts" viaitation upon me" " Oil ?" said Aldrittb, guiltily, "I forgot to tell you. llaidee Clare wants to come here this Faraujer. She requires perfect cjaiet to liuish her new novel, and says she retains uch a delightful urpression of Blossom Hedge from fcer last summers visit T "Oh, does she, indeed?" said Mrs. Cone, dxaing the cream and snjar reck lessly into the eea green china caps. " And we must reajetnber that your cous in Falkland has kindly volunteered to send Andromeda here fur the summer, so that she may f j.-get that love a2air of hers with Jack Jovelyn. " " I'm afraid we haven't rooru for 'em all," said Mr. Ccise, reflectively, "Oh, yes, you have, "said Lilly, with tears aud laughter stmrling.in her voice. "Theyll sifp on the hail hat rack, do the garret ilooror the ce! tar ne5v,soou er than farego the opportunity of getting good country board Ijt nothing ! And I shall do as 1 did last year get along without a tew winter suit and do my own winter house-work, because the housekeeping bills were so hcaTy duncg the summer. All our relations are very particular, you know, about their eating and drinking, and we had to get new hair taatresses fjr the Johnson-Smythes, and re-carpet Haidee's room because she perfectly abhored the oid pattern. " " It's outrageous said Cone, carving tbe chicken. Bat I don't know how we are to h'.p ourselves without being dreadfully rude. " -Tell them plainly that they cannot come."' " Our rejttions, Lally T remonstrated Cone. It's an imposition," said Ij.ily. " It's only far a little while, toy love. Let 'era come. n "It will be for all summer, Aldrkh." "No it won't, IU see to that V " V."hat do you mean? " " I've got a plan in my head, my love." " A plan T " Yes. Youll see. Only don't ask any questions. " " Dat, Aidrich," pleade.1 the yoong hoceekeeper, with every hospitable im pu'.se nsicg up in her heart, "yoa uion't treat 'em rudely !" 111 be as pleaant as Punch to 'em, my love see if I'm net." "Aidrich. what are you going to do?" - Don't I tell yon, La'Iy, that it's a pro found secret?" " But you'll tell tr.e T " HI t'ell nobody r And to this platform Mr. Cone rteadi- j ly adhered, in spite of Lilly's protesta tions and eritreitie. The authoress arrived, with several hups trunks, a typewriter and a ham mock. JFm Andromeda Falkland came by the next train" like Xiobe, all tears and Mrs. F.iEngbam, her nurse, and her six noisy, troublesome young convales cents brought up the rear. " Ten rt!e T siehed Mrs. Cone to C that trustworthy and reliable confidant, herself- "Oh, dear ! oh, dear ! I might as well have taken a situation for gener al housework in a summer boarding boose." " I don't ce," said Mrs Pepper, the minister's wife, " what that young Cone is thinking of to allow his wife to be so overridden with relations. The weather is very hot, and she is far from strong. And I am told they sleep themselves on a sofa bedstead in the parlor to make room for that swarm of parasite." My dear, " said the good parn, "are yoa not expresiiig yoarse'f very strong ly?" " I'm onlr srieakine tbe truth," said ( Mrs. Pepper. But it soon transpired that Mrs. Cone's visitors, like Barnum's happy family, could not agree. Miss Haidee Clare could not write without the accompaniment of perfect silence. Tbe little FSnghams could not divert themselves without the hoot and shrieks peculiar to their tender years, ana both Miss Care and Mrs. ErEn gham took exception to the monmfol banjo notes on which Andromeda Falk land was wont of an evening to bewail her blighted love. "They are CjoaiTeling like cata and dogs," sighed Lilly to her husband. " Let 'em quarrel," said Aidrich. . What Liiks, ma said Ersk'tna Ef- Bingham one afternoon, as he returned set er ESTABLISHKD 1827. frora a successful raid upon the hens' nests in the bars. "We've got to take our hammock and croquet out of tbe Maple lot," . 4 "What for?" petulantly inquired Lis mother. " Sold it ? Haw very incoo&ideraie of him!" said Mrs. Effingham. "Sold it to whom?" " To tbe eeaseterv people. " "Whatr "The cem-e-ter-T people," enunciated Master Erskine. "The railroad's a-goin' right through the old grave yard, and they're got to have a new place. I heard Cousin Aidrich "tell the carpenter to brirg that load of fence posts right off. and I heard him say too, that it didn't matter so much because there had al ready been one or two interments there, " Interments !" gasped Mrs. Eilingham "under our very windows! (ioodness gracious me ! I never heard of such a thing r "If ye plase, ma'am," said IViia, the nurse, "that accounts for it. " " Accounts for what ?" " The ghost, mum all in white!" ut tered IVlia, with chattering teeth. " I seen it lust niaht, mum, as the church clock struck 12 ; and I seen it the night beiore. An" I dont wonder Jtna'am the poor, dead bodies bein' dug up and scat tered around this way. And if you please ma'am, vou'll su'4 yourself at once, for not another week will Delia O'Kouke live next door to a church yard ! " Ma, ma," whispered Florence Effing ham who had eagerly devoured every word of the diseuion " I'm afraid of ghosts. Delia says ghosts come after lit tle girls if they don't" " Will yoa huA V said Mrs. ErRng ham, clasping her hands in despair. "Ai drich, what is this? Have you sold the Mapie lot?" " Sold it ! Why shouldn't I V said Mr. Cone, ho iuU taea caaae in with a siring of speckled brook trout. " They olfered nie a capital price, and I'm not a rich man." " Bat to a cemetery !" " I dont know a quieter neighbor than a cetiieterv," .said Aidrich. "And I'm told," laid Mrs. Effingham, with a shudder, "that soaie intennents have already taken place;" " I didn't suppose yon'd mind it, Aunt Effingham," said the young Lct. " Mind it ! Why, it's a semi-barbarous proceeding !" cried the lady. " 1 we live in a civilixed country, or do we notr " Ma !" screeched Rudolph EiEngham, the second son, jerking at tbe maternal skirts," here's a load of lumber at the bars a real big load. Do yoa suppose that is to make the coffins out of?" Just then Miss Clare stalked, a la Lady Macbeth, upon the scene. "I attach no importance to vulgar su perstition," said site, glaring at Mrs. Ef fingham, with whom she was no longer on speaking terms. " Of tbe dead I en tertain on 6"r-, But lirinij jte a different thing. And I certainly saw a man. Cousin Aidrich, prowling about these premises last night, with a dark lantern." "Tbe ghost!" squeaked Delia. "I seen hint, too ! I did with these eyes, the biissed saints betune roe and al! bami! Oh! oh! oh! " Peace, foolish woman I" said Haidee. " This was no shade ! It was a burly thief, intent no doubt on mischief. I saw him try to open tbe back parlor shutter, and then Neighbor Fexley's wagon drove by, and be aisappeared as if by magic And I want you to under stand, Lal!y," to Mrs. Cone, " that I can't stand the nervous chock of this sort of thing. My profession requires that I should be surrounded by peaceful calm. I shall leave here to-morrow." "An' Hi go wid yez," said IVlia, "I can't slape night in a place where burg lars is climbin' up the trellis work, and poor ghosts come stalkin around w hen the church clock strikes midnight, and a whole wagon load more cotnin' to-tnor-ry or next day, from the cimetery ! Och, hone ! tbe like of it tever was heard be fore!" " Ma ! ma ! can't we go, too ? "We're afraid to stay at Blossom Hedge any lonjrer ?" pleaded th little Effinghams, iu chorus, And so there was a general exodua. " Aidrich. is this tine?" said Mrs. Cone, when the las express load of trunks had disappeared around the curve of the road. " Is what true ? "'ou're not afraid of ghosts, are you, Lilly " " o; but " IKnt fret, rny deir," said Mr. Cone, composedly. "The mtery has pur chased a lot, but it hapens to be Maple Hill, four miles to tlw east of us. . I'm not to blame, am I, fo Erskice Etfing ham'a blunder V " But the load of lnnber ? "Pre sold the place to Doctor Eiasttt, and he's going to buile a gem of a ljueen Anne cottage. I can't imagine any pleasanter neighbors tian the Baisett's will be ; can you V " Y-yes," said bewil.ered Lilly ; " but the interments that lad already taken place there ? You fait yourself" " My dearest girl, tbn't jroa remem ber that we b;iried ilinnie, your pet spaniel, under the s eet briar bush there? and the two canries, last fall?" " Oh, Aidrich, aren't you ashamed of yourself?" " Who I ? Xot ia lie least." " But the ghosts, A 11 rich ? the burg lars? " Here comes Andraneda," said Mr. Cone, with sudden asumption of more than judicial gravity. 'Come bere, yoa ilse damsel, and own tp at once what I've already been chart enough to dis cover for myself." "Oh, Cousin Aidri h !" stammered poor Andromeda, bluehcg celestial rosy red, and trying vainly b hide her face behind the blue ribbon! bacjo in ber band. " I am neither Dilia CRourke, nor the Effingham children, ar yet Haidee Clare," mercilessly wat on Aidrich. " And I direwdly sope that the ghost was Jack Jocelyn, in a vhite tennis suit, haunting tbe green til beneath bis sweetheart's windws, ani the burglar no other man than Jack Jtcelyn, in black. climbing up the trellu after a letter, which be knew well where to find." Andromeda blushed rdder than ever. " Now IU have no mere of thts," .said Aidrich, with mock stesess. " Confess, young woman, at onc taat von ana I your love affair are at tie bottom of all JULY 30, 1890. this mystification. Jack Jocelyn has owned up." "Oh, Aidrich T sobbed Andromeda. "And will you, too, turn againsi me? " Not a bit of it," said Aldricb Cone, cheerfully. " Don't fret little one. Jack has just told me thai be has been ap pointed to a thousand dollar berth in the general postoffice. andI've written to your mother that things are all right He's a jolly good fellow, and it isnt neces sary for him to play ghost out in the cold any longer." Andromeda threw herself, weeping with joy, into Lal'y Cone's arms, and the two women rejoiced together. Aidrich smiled. " My plan hasn't worked so bad!-" said be. Phases of Human Nature. They were waiting for the train at a country station, mere was a aremry- looking waiting room, 14 by 14, and there was a platform 70 feet long by 8 broad. The scenery consisted of one water tack, five freight cars, two fields, one pile of lumber, three telegraph poles, and a small boy. The rain poured outside. The two women sat as far from each other as possible, and regarded sach other with suspicion and distrust One seemed to be saying to herself: "If she is going to the Innatic asylum she should be looked after. Who ever saw any one come out in such colors and mix things like that? Such persons are dangerous." And the other one remarked: "Most I wait here long in the company of that thing? What a looking head! What feet and hands! Looks as if she was going to work on a firm !" Tbe two men who are stranuers to each other, and to the womem were fair, mild eyed specimens of tbe human race. They stood and looked at each other, and might have said to themselves: "Looks if be Lad overdrawn bis account at the bank. Seetrs to have an innocent air, but that is all put on." And the other might have mused : "So here's tlie 'Eabber Kid" oct on another expedi tion, bet HI spoil bis little game. My, but hasn't he got a hardened look !" But they did nothing of the Eind. While those two women sat several feet apart, huddled up in an exclusive sort of way and their veils drawn, tbe men walked arm in arm, joked and smoked and told stories and said they were glad to meet They poked each other in the ribs, call ed each other 'old boy, borrowed some Cnecut, and every match they had was shared in lighting cigars. One of the women got up enough j courage to ak tbe other for the time. The latter might be addressing the cook of an Erie cabal scow, she thought, but replied that sbe had not the time. Then both shrunk away ender their veils and turned up their noses, When the train came along the men got into tke same car and the same seat.

Jj:irnnL Western Somnambulism. We had been stopping at a hotel at Des Moines for two or three days when two men arrived by the same train. One was a drummer for a New York jewelry house and the other apparently a coun try parson of meek and lowly ways. That was the way we sized him up; but the drummer, being naturally suspicious of all men, contended that the snppoeed par son was some thief after his valise of val uable saxpies. To convince him to the contrarr, I took opportunity to introduce myself to the other man and draw him oat, and Le presented me with a card on which was printed his name, "Rev. Jos eph Smith," and he claimed to hail from a town about twenty miles away. His congregation had planned some church entertainment, and he had come up to buy some needed fixings. That's all there was to it except he hoped and trusted that I was not walking in the broad way that leadeth to destruction, and oCered to ome to my room and kneel with me in prayer. I was perfect ly satisfied that he was all wool and a yard wide, and returned to so report. Tbe drummer had his own ideas, how ever. He tot k bis sample cases to his room, but afterward slyly changed it for another. Then he Tacated his room for one across tlie hall, and in the Tacated room just in front of the bed, set a fox trap. He wanted a bear trap, bat couiint get one in town. When all was ready we went to bed, four or five of us having rooms down the hall from the parson's. As w e Afsed his door we heard the good man reading aloud from hi Bible, and I felt like knocking on his door and apolo gizing for the pigheadedness of the drum mer. About midnight there was sudden yell, followed by the canking of chains which aroused every one of us, and as soon as we could turn out we discovered that tbe parson had been caught ia the fox trap. He had stepped his right foot into the jaws, and was sitting on the bed and staring into vacancy when we found Lim. He had the cbeek to declare that be was walking in his sleep, and seemed much grieved when we asked him bow it was that he bad unlocked the door with a skeleton key. In tbe morning, when arraigned in court, his plea was somnambulism, and what did tbe Court do bat order him to be turned loose. In doing e j bis Honor explained. "About ten years ago I was found in a man's barn saddling and bridling his t"X0 horse. It was a case somnambulism on my part but they wickedly forced me to pay $300 to settle the case. I then de termined never to do any one a like in justice, and the prisoner is honorably discharged. Haifa day later it transpired that the "good man" was a noted Chicago thief, but Le had cheesed tbe racket and was off. Four hundred and twenty-two,' yelled the elevator boy.

Srie isnt pretty, she isnt rich, and she is aa orphan ; she has no family." "What do I go to see her so much for T" queried Joe, in a dreaoay tone. "No. she isnt pretty, and she isnt ugly ; she cer tainly isnt rich, for sht teaches kx a living, and tbocgh her parents are dead, they were nice people. I go to see ber because she makes me keep company with my best self wbea I am with her.

Just befjre I ca;? away she said in a very modes?, down cast sort of a way: "Mr. Lyon, may I ask a favor of you T " Certainl.' I said, 'I would be most happy to oblige yon.'

"I tell you, such a woman as that has courage as well as conviction." Mias Beacon had brothers from whom she was separated, and for whom she felt a nsteriy solicits. "If I am careful to hold my young gentleman frien!s to high standards," she said to herself, "some lady perhaps will do the same for my brothers," and this motive actuated her in all her intercourse with yoaog men. Sbe had no thought of self in the matter, and when Mr. Lyon said to ber that Le could be a better man with her as his wife than with any other woman in the world, the declaration came as a surprise to ber. Friendship ripened into love, love that had 'its seat in reason and was judicious.' United in everything that was sincerely good, the home they founded was the home of peaoe, the cradle of all noble virtue, the reward of high endeavor, and its most potent stimulus. LlnHUm A f- Raising Garden Seeds. A recently issued bulletin of the Penn sylvania Slate College Station answers the question, "should farmers raise tbeir own vegetable seeds ?" After alluding to the time aben imany years ago - the garden seeds o?ered for sale were bad!y mixed, with wrong names, and with the seeds of weeds, the bulletin remarks, as the result of its own examinations, that the seed now fo"n t in country stores, bearing the names of reputable firms, ara quite as good as seeds obtained direct from the ware housei Ia aldifion to this great im provement in quality, the prices are such that a dollar will purchase enough for a Csmily, of good clean seed. Those offered for sale by reliable seedsmen have been raised under continued and special care, and farmers who raise their own seeis find in a few years that their vegetables are not so choice as they oace were, be cause they have not been selected with the care, nor grown with the Jinoe skill as the purchase I seeds. In the experiments made with seeds raised at the station, and compared with those made with purcba-d see-is. the following general results were obtained : 1. In a majority of cies earlier market able products were produced from pur chased seed, and with bat few exceptions a greater yield was obtained from thein. 2. Lettuce from purchased seel did not shoot up to flower as early as plants from station seed. 3. Radishes from purchased seed were larger, mere tender and more uniform. 4. Oa the whole, seed srowa on very rich soil proved the best These were the results of a single season, and the experiment will be repeated. An extensive test was made of the new garden vegetable, including twenty-six new varieties of potatoes. The fact that some of them which proved particularly valuable at tlie station proved nearly worthless on our own grounds, and vice versa, shows tbe importance of tbe rule laid down for selecting the best "if pos sible, choose one which has been success fully cultivated in your immediate vicin ity, or in a locality with similar soil and climatic conditions."

The mrsterv of the government's abili ty to carry a letter from Min to Cali fornia for the price of a twM;ent stamp is not a perfct!y easy one to explain; but most people are by this time so thoroughly accustomed to cheap postage that they accept tbe low rate quite as a matter of coarse.
