Mr. Jack Connyngham, aged forty-five, and his nephew, Jack Connyngham, twenty years yoasger, lived in Washing ton City. They belonged to the same club, and, in spite of the dilTerence in their agw, went in the ea:ne set How it came to pases that the elder man waa not called Oid Connynghaea" and the other "Young Cocnyngharrt"' U not known. But it was a a-c'ar fart that the na cle retained the preCx "mister" tLathad been attached to hi i name for so many years, even after the nephew had grown to man's estate and miht also lay claim to it. He was simply called Jack Con nyngham. This rule was generai!y adhered to. Had there been no exceptions to it we would have no story to tell. Argtht Morningstar was a beautiful girL Bright and accorcpliahed, Uie only child of indulgent p.arent-5, she was ranch sought after. Jack Connyngham was foremost in her train of adorers; but although Angela was kinder to him than to any of the other, he yet lacked courage to risk a possible rejection. He felt ashamed of his indecision, and jtlast resolved to know his fte at the earliest opportunity. To days afterthia determination the Brilirh Minister and his family gave their annual l a'.L Jaik attended hoping to find his di vinity there and be able to tell hia lore in the dreamy maz-s of the waltx or in some propitious nouk iu conservatory or tete-a-tete roosn. It was late when he entered the long ball room and looked anxiously around for Miss Morninjsur. He discovered her quite at the end of the r'm, conversing animatedly with his Uncle Jack. lie started leiaoreiy toward them, but the crowd was large and it was several minute before he conld reach the corner they were en sconced in. In the meantime Mr. Jack Connyng ham and Miss Mamici-star were talking. The decorations are extremely lovely to-night," the lady said, glancing, as she spoke, at a mass of gorgeous blcaeoms Bear her. Tho3e roerea are simply su perb." 'But see those orchids. Miss Angeli; did jou ever see beauty more faiiy em bodied in a floa-er?" Mi Mornicgstar was silent for a mo ment, thee, evidently yielding to an im pulse, turned to her companion and said : I'm ashamed to confess it, Mr. Con nyngham, but I actually do not care for them." ! Mr. Connynchara was shocked. He had an unbounded admiration for or chids, and thought every one else should see their beauties. IVsiricg to make tnis charming girl a convert to his views, he leaned toward her in his zeaL "Why, my dear Mias Angela, do yoa know I positively adore " Beg pardon, Mis Mornicgstar, bat this is onr waltz," interrupted a distin guished attache of the legation and An gela, with a graceful adieu, glided away from him, and Mr. Connyngham lost hi opportunity of telling her why he ador ed orchiJa. Jack leached his uncle's side just as the young couple disappeared. He stood around, furious at himself for missing his chance, until the evolutions of the dance brought Angela almobt to hia aide as the U&t strains of the mosic were dying away. Going cp to her he offered his arm and led her to the conservatory. There, amid the sweet odors of the flowers and the silvery tinkle of the fountain, Jack fond ly imagined his tale ol love could be easi ly told. Not so! The glowing words of the speech he had so carefully composed for sook Lis tongue, lie sat by Angela's side for a-.me moments, talking of indifferent things, trying in vain to recall them. At last he, in despair, be spoke : "Miss Angela, yoa know I adore you. Can't yoa love me a little, and marry me, Angela V "I have found yoa at last, after a fear ful bant, Miss Morningstar," broke in a joyous voice, and the tall form of one of Jack's friends loomed cp before them. Until"now Jack had counted Frederick Trewayne a prince of good fellows. "Confound the man ! he mattered be neath hia breath, then turned to Ange la, who, though inwardly annoyed, had managed to pot on a smiling face. As she rose Jack rose too, determined to say something more. Ah, Miss Angela, that little matter we were discussing, yoa know.

MAY 18, 1892. do: Acgi-ia was almost convuised with mirth at Jack's confu.ed manner, but she loved him, and intended tj make him happy. Repressing her mirth. she prom ised to send the note, and pasaed out of the conservatory with Frederick T.-e-wayne, leaving Jack to cast maledictions on that "confounded idiot V Miss Morning tar's chape rone was taken ill ami they left the ball early. Jack heard the unwelcome news while searching for her in hopes of continuing their interesting conversation. He had to content himself with the thougkt of her note in the morning. It waa late thatni.-ht when befell asleep; as a consequence, he did not waken until quite late the next day. His first waking thought was of Angela's letter awaiting him at the club. PressiEg hastily he rushed off to pro- care it. It was now noou. The winter sun was shining brl-htly, the eiies were blue, and Jack's heart felt happy and light as he hurried into the club hotv-e. "yM mail, please, Billings," he aaid, jroini np to the old servitor. "Nothing fr yoa this morning, fir," said the old fellow, with a shake of his heal. "What! Nothing? Are yoa positive, Billings V Yes, Billings was quite positive. Jack sack into a chair in a dark cv.rnt.-r of the room and tried to think. Sudden ly the thought Cashed over him that Angela's silence meant a refusal, he in tended to lefuse him, after a;L and could not bring herself to write the unkind I words. He Lad been deceived, she did not love him. Then came a wild desire to get away away from Lis thoughts, from ail that might remind him cfher. Acting on a hasty impuls?, he sat down and scrib bled a ne'e to his ancle: "Gone to New York. Wire rae at the Fifth Avenue if wanted. Ja k." Then, calling a cab, he drove to the statioa rs.-t m time to catch theew rk train. Thirty minutes later, when his uncle arrived at the club and found his cjtsfw.-e he almost tore his Lair in desreration. Jack's train was not wre ke l, as Le in his wretched stte of rain 1 almost hoped it might be. He reached New York safe- ly, and, worn out by his emotion', went to bed and slept a dreamless sleep. When he awoke there was a tel vraai awaiting him. It waa chara. terislic of Mr. Jack Connyngham that the messa, c-ji.tained on'v three words: "Come home instantly." Here was something new to think of. The telegram gave vat scope for iuiagi- nation. Jick sU able to catch the early xaorn- ft ' ! hoarekter.

He ft.lt insiinctly that Angela was concerned in the matter. The elder gentleman seemed to have a hesitancy about beginning. Finally he poke abruptly : "Five thousand doila-s is a teat little sum, isn't it jack ? It shall be yours my boy, if" dropping his voice to a cor.:"; -dectial whisper "if you w ill Uke a charming girl off my hands." Jack stared in aauizi cent, enable to speak. "She's everything that' sweet an.! good, lovely, and every war desirable," he continue.1 in nervous hasie. "Bat yoa j know, Jack, I wou. 1 not marry for all the gold in the world." Spite of his wretched feelings, Jack t burst into a fit of uncontrollable laugh ter. His uacie locked the very picture of woeful anxiety as he told his stry. He waited until Jack had subsided his ill-timed mirth, then confined : "Yoa se, Jack, at the ball Tuesday night I was talking with Miss well, we won't mention names yet and we spoke of orchids ; she sai 1 she didn't cure for them at all. You know my weakness for the orchid. I wanted to make a convert of her. I leaned over, alas ! I Lar too devotedly and said : 'My dear MLas , I positively adore' and before I could finish and say what I a', .red aa idiotic attache came and took her. away. I)n't laugh, old fellow ; it's tarced out a pretty serious business. Yesterday morning I receive.! a note from her saving she ac cepted my interrupted offer, had loved me a long while, and called me 'dear Jack P Do yoa anaerst and ? She thought I meant I adored her instead of orchiils. Angela Morningslar has always been a great favorite of miae, but she is too pro gressive; possesses too much imagina tion." At Angela's name Jack started, aad a light began to dawn upon him. "Let me see the letter, nncle," he sa: I, and it was handed to him. Scanning it eagerly Jack saw with joy that it was Lis longed-for letter. A mischievous ix'.i had tossed it into his ancle's unwilling hands. With subdued emotion he read the sweet words Angela Lad penned for his eyes alone. His heart bounded with joy, but Le repressed his feelings and put the letter absent-mindedly into bis own pocket- Then turning to his distressed relative he said : "IU do my best, Uncle Jtck, to help yoa oat. To-day's sun shall not set be fore I offer myself to Miss Morningstar and endeavor to take her off your hands!" "Ktmember the fire thoasard," called the elder man, as a further incentive, as bis nephew stepped out of the door and walked with a firm, rapid step in the di rection of the Morningttar residence. Mis Mornicgotar entered the reception room in a dignified and stately manner. Jack rose eagerly to greet her. Giving a distant inclination of Ler lovely head, she ignored Lis extended band. "Angela 1" cried Jack in tones of deep est reproach, "what does this mean? Why do yoa meet me ia this manner 7" "It means," aaid Angela, coolly, bat giving signs of repressed emotion, "that I accepted your offer, and gave yoa per mission to come last evening and talk it over. I waite bat roo did not come Aiim evening yoa put in a laruy appear- j ance. Have yoa anything farther to say 1 to rae, Mr. Jack Connyngham?" At bcr last words Ja. k actoal'y laugh ed. Miss. Mornicgstar drew herself op to ber fall height and started to leave the room. Ia a raornent Jack was on Lis jtieraid knes before ber explaining: "You see, dar'Jnv', Ur !e Ja k is 'Mr. Ja k Connyngharu" to everybody ; I'm only Jack." Then as rapidly as possible he told the Li.tory of his disappointment and despair when the letter failed to cou-9;ofhis harty trip to New York and of his rel!, to dad hU precious letter had been given to his uncle. Before he waa tbroogh Angela's coolness had tuite thawed anl Jack was in pottession cfher hsn is. 'So yon are 'only Jaok,' are you ?" si.e asked." "Ah, well, it's 'only Jak' I want you know. But in sp'te of your enele I shall bs Mrs. Jac Connyngham afVr all," she said with a willful toss of her pretty heal. When Jack returned to the club his ancle was etiil there. Ha case np to him. and his eyes asked the quotion his lips dared not ask. "till, it s all rl-ht, uncle," announce 1 Jik, joyously. "I haveML-s Morning star's promise? that ':.e will be my we." "God Mess yfa. Jack .' You are a r.---l !e. self sacriii.'iiig gnt'eii-an," cried Mr. C -nnvn'iaai as he Iropj'ed into a iLalr ! w i:U a F-li of relief.

When the pen was d:pJ in the ink Jack spoke: "I guess you'd better nrt write thit chetk, ancle. The fact is it's due Angela that I tell you thai letter was never in tended for you.

THE HOME AND FARM. Practical Suggestions to Farm ers In Regard to a New Feature In Farming. The follow ingesfciy by Mr. E. E-Critch-Ceid was read before the Farmers' Insti tute of -vmerset county, at the annual meeting held at Somerset last January. It is aa able aa 1 interesting treatment of the subjevt and all may pro5t by read ing it carefully, and especially the farm ers : :D AND ESS1LA-.C Ia entering cpon the discussion of a subjevt of so great importance to the farmer as this one, I take it that it will be best upon the whoie to cat loose as fir as possible from ail scientific and technical term., and confine ourjelves more strictly to a statement and discu iou of plain facts. In sueh times of shoit profits, aad the most strong competition ; in ti business of fanning it becomes an almost absolute necessity for the fanner to cast abor.t him for the Solution cf t Le problems that ia t effect his prof it, and henee the state cf Lis finances.

If he be a dairy farmer he must adopt meth yls tb-t wlii admit of his increaf i::' the auaibr cf cows to the acre, pr iue .ti. re tiiTlk to the cow, an-1 so in creise the fer.ilitr of his land as to make one acre ntaintain one ojw f-.r the jear, fnrjiljiig her with all the food she shall rr j-:lre. and that in suffh-ient quantity to I j) i:.-e a prof;: ia milk and at the sarte time iacrea.-e the fertilltv of that a--re a J in y w-iLiu, ii i a uui f ream iroai iu J iution to a vast rtisj.-.r'.ty of the diLcul- ties ari-ic ia these three named clawe of farming.

Th as, if you bui'.d a silo in j your larn, taking a part of your hay bay ,wLi.h room yoa will not need if you Lave a silo , a silo to hold K) toas will cost yoa about iTi.uO.

For tbe present then corn for ttiilage. If yoa wish to grow the greatest possible weight per acre you should drill yoar corn with a griin drill at the rate of two bushels of seed per acre. But if on the other hand j you wish to grow the greatest amount of nutrition yoa should drill ia your corn at i the rate of S quarts per acre, placing the rows 31 fet apart and cultivate as you would fjr aa crdinarr crop of con. By this means yoa can grow on good farm land from 13 to 20 tons of as d stock food as can be grown in America, ail things being equal. U? member now, I am not gueseing at thia, but I am tali- ing facts. Last year oa good sod land, j V.e.a, ? . 1 t. r . "ia j oi you now ; ps,i grew I, tons of corn pe, acre. 1 That would have busied I'M bushels of i ears per acre. Th;s last is tha great ad vantage to be gained by thin aeedicg yoa get a greater proportion ofgrain, aad the more grain yoa can bare in your ensilage the better it will be for your stock. Yoa should grow what ia knows as the B. and W.corn which ia a large rariety of Southern corn, that will pro- d ace more tons per acre thaa any forage crop we have at the present time. Any ccra wiil do, but this B. and W. wiil produce the greatest tonage and is just as good. Yoa siiotld cat it from the stalk just as the ears axe beginning to glaze. raa it throagh a fodder cutter with ele- raior a'.Uched: cut it into any desired length from J inch bo -1 inches, elevate it into the si'o, traa;p the exiles and corners, leaping the top IcvcL When the si.-o U tilled put on top any green muU rlil to the dc;ta of lire inch eu straw wiil do cover with boards and some sticks of wood then sit down aad rest and think how much ahead of yocr neisht-tirs you will be all winter beg, with year eo.-a crvp all p-t aay where it wi.l itike u.e b.-t p-.-e.;cl- r? turas, whi'e yeur rr'h' -or is cot iu the ci.l h'.stiiig Corn, "f hul.ii .'Aii.a-l fo-l ierail winter l"n .!'.? 1 -"' per cent, if el by ar,y c f ti.e or i.aaxy means ia practice.

You should feed to eavh animal of the age of two years or more 40 or poua is per day divided into two fee-is a.orn ing aad evening; at noon give a fee 1 of hay, as much as you thiag ueve-ary, but it need not be above 7 pou.u is. Now let us firire a little : The best farm land in tr. .s coac'.rr will not pro duce more than i tots of well cured timothy hay per acre; tke sane hind will proiu.-e j! tons of ens.lage. Now it has been found bvth, by chemical analysis and also by actual pract.ee that '2; u ns of well matured vra ensilage is tee-iual ia nutritive value of 1 ton of good tr ;:.t timothy hay.
