Tliere are so many ffiols in the world that I do ut mind confessing that I was one of them for a few dismal years, not one of the complacent, happy ones either. Tt begin with, I took up medicine comparatively late in life. They had made an architect of me, lut I soon found myself kicking vigorously agamt that honorable profewiion. Af ter a dual of persuasion I was allowed to enter as a student at Bart's and for two years worked hard. I read a good deal at the British miMeum, like other fellow, from the Sth of August, lv , always at the li 11 seaL Why, you ask, always at that place' ell, because it was on that date the mot charming little woman I ever saw first came and occupied the seat marked 11 li I hoped she would keep to that seat, and eo she did. Tbe pile ot bonks she used daily staggered me, and of course it would have been troublesome to alter the indications on all her reference slips if she bad cbang ed or been ousted from 11 12. t rom the !h of August, IsS , it was generally a toss ip which of us was the first reader to aptear in the read ing room. The aistanU often smiled. Her name was Uella Whitoombe. learned that very soon. An official left one of her slips on my table by mistake, fhe had asked for Strauss' famous "Lecture on Cardiac Troubles, and the slip came to me marked "In use." I had the greatest pleasure in the world iu returning the slip to her with a smile. Theu she smiled back at me with those sweet brown eyes of hers aud remarked: "What a nui sance: I tlid so want IL ' After this we often exchanged words. trivial words. Any pretext was good enough for me that procured me a glance or a smile from her. I did not get on at all with studies. If I had not been a fool from the pro fessional point of view, I s'.ouM have bolted to the V or Y part of the room, lint I had come to the conviction that it was more enjoyable to fail in my exams and see liella ever day than pass with distinction at the cost of sever ance from her. Blissful, lazy, heartbreaking, anxious hours, day after day from half past 9 until 3, with an interval of three quar ters of an hour for lunch. liella was brought to the museum every morning by a maid. Tbe maid took her otT for luuch, and the maid was always waiting amoug the pigeons under the portico from tlve minutes to 3 in tbe afternoon. There was uo getting rid of that pre cious abominable domestic. When we bad known each other a month, I proposed (it was a wild fool ish thing to do) to accompany her toward Bays water on an omnibus. The maid was to go iuside, she and I out side, but it was no go. My father wouldn't like it, Mr. Marrable' she said, with a sympa thetic smile. I tried whispering conversations about the weather, textbooks, exams and so on. But, to say nothing of the frowns I raised on other studious faces and a formal protest from the gentle man on bis throne in the middle of the room, Bella did not greatly encourage me. I am here to work," she wrote on a slip at oue time and jmshed this tow ard me. It will hardly be credited, but I os tentatiously put that slip to my lips and theu folded it and placed it iu my watch pocket, tbe heart pocket. How she looked at me when I did this! An ordinary girl would have giggled, the did not giggle, and thenceforward her smiles were not quite what they had been. The pen sive seriousness ia them, however, niade her more aud more dear to me. Even when, for a joke, I recommeud- ed her to a-k for Spencer on "Should er Blades," a well known absurdity, she only gave me a little reproving nod of her pretty head, with the bronxe colored hair and tbe tiny shell ears. ro it went on until November, when I could bear it no longer. I knew less about surgery aud medicine than tn July. "I mu-4 speak to you at luncheon," I whL-pered to her that morning. My face impressed her. Besides there was another reason why sue should assent. We came out among the Egyptian tombs, mummies and things. I told her she was everything to me life blood, ambition, liappiuess and, as was right, she believed me. Better still, she admitted that I was much to her. But, Philip," she added (I was holding her hand; we had wandered iutoa Greek statuary room, where there was no soul else ), "it must all depend upon my father. If you satisfy him, I shall be a happy girt." The Greek statues had, I dare say, . - L aeeu a great many people kiss eacu other 3J"U or 3J0 years ago, but they never saw a more earnest exchange of such tokeus of affection than ours. "To-morrow dear," said Bella, "at 1 o'clock would be the best time for him." An excitiug but felicitous evening followed, unmarred by my sisters scotT at tbe idea of my marrying a mediciue woman; so she termed my Bella. But when I was at Bella's father's dor I did not feel happy. What were my prospects? I had flOO s year of my own; oothing else. Of all things, too, Professor Whit- comlie was a teacher of philosophy. It is just those men who are so con cerned with ideals that look so tre- meudously sharp after the downright material good things of this life. Tbe gentleman disconcerted me from the outset by his formal manners and bis blue glasses. Up went his eyebrows when I told him w hat I wanted. Still be heard me to the end. Only when I had exhausted all my powers of assev eration about the great things I could sod would do with I Vila engaged to me did he cough and pass sentence. "I never in my life, Mr. " (glancing at my card; "Marribone, heard anything more absurd or iu onier SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11. 1897. practicable than your prriosition. I have nothing more to say. Good morning." When I was outside. I held my senses just sufficiently to rush back to Great Russell street. Home one else got my seat, of course, a hulking raw young Scotchman, also a Bart's man. I wait ed, however, till lunchtime and then told her alL "Poor Phil!" said she. I-I'm afraid it is all over!" "We are agalu among the Greek gods aud goddesses," she cried gently as she spoke. "But you love me?" I asked ins boiling rage against fate. "Yes, I love you," said she chokingly- "ery well, then; I shall win you yet. Bella, always love me, and things will right themselves." Tbe kiss we then exchanged seemed our last, for, though I saw her in the afternoon, she never again appeared in tbe reading room. I wrote to her and received one letter in reply as follows: My Very Dear Phil Papa forbids me to rorreppond wiin you iu any way, aud I mast, alas, obey him. I cau only repeat what you know. You are en- shriued in my heart. Let us pray that tne ruture may le brighter for us both. Your friend. Bulla. Sweet, sweet letter, in spite of the despair it indicated! For the ensuing fortnight I was like one bereft of half of his senses. I tried to work, could not, and ran down iu health at a gallop. I learned that Professor Whitcomhe was a cold hearted, scheming monster. He worshiped raukaud money, though he taught the pursuit cf the noble, the true and beautiful. Hypocrite. It was plain I had nothing to hoje for from him. Then my father compelled me t see our doctor lie and they all were so alarmed at my personal appearance. plus a cough. The upshot was that in mid-Decem ber I was in the bay of Biscay, bound for Australia. It was my only chance. said the doctor. He little knew. One word from that philosopher fellow, and would have been a Hercules in five minutes. However, the Rubicon was pa.-?d. I had written "gfiodby to Bella and received no answer. Landing at Melbourne, I at onoe made arrangements for going up coun try to pre?-nt certain letters to a cattle owner, Mr. Grant, among w hine acres and quadrupeds I was supposed to have the best possible chance of regaining health. And here I settled down- . It was less than IS months after ward that I received an awful note from Professor Whitcombe informing me that his daughter was married to a distinguished colleague in every way able to insure her happiness." That was how he put it. I was further requested to see both the absurdity and impropriety of continuing to address letters to Bella at her father's bouse. My own people confirmed the mis erable news. They didn't know the particulars, but they had seec Bella's name iu the Times. Ouce more I had a fit of raving, but it passed, and then I set to woik to make money the only aim that seemed left to me. Under advice from Mr. Grant I had already bought a good block of land. I now prepared to stock iL In three years I was worth fl0,a and scant joy the knowledge atlordeil me. This, however, was nothing to what happened in the fourth year. Gild was discovered all along our line of country, and an expert I had told me was a millionaire. So it proved. After a vast deal of excitement I cleared out of the country fabulously rich consid ering my antecedents. But, though rich, I wasn't happy. being one of those fellows, sometimesi enviable and sometimes to be pitied. who, having once desired a thing, are never happy until they have got it, Moreover, my heart had gone wrong. what with tbe excitement and my rather rackeiy, desperate way of living: latterly. The first thing I did in town after greeting the old folk was to consult oM Jensen of Bart's. To my dismay, h greed that my heart was really very wrong. "What has done it ? he asked. "Disappointment," I replied careless ly as my thoughts recurred to Bella. "4y the way," he ad.Ied, "there s a downright clever woman specialist I would strongly advise you to see." "You Bay that,'' I exclaimed, aston ished, for the dear old chap knew all about my other case and also had ia the old time expressed his contempt for the fair sex as medicine women. "I mean it, Marrable, I seriously as sure you," he replied, who a cunu little cough. "Shes written a re markable little monograph. Here 1 have it by me." He showed it to me, and a brief glance proved that the writer at lea.- 1 knew her subject. "Mrs. B. Parsons. M. I)-," was her name. Then with a shrug I promised Jen sen I would see the lady. Heaven bless tbe old chap! And what excellent luck it was, my thinking to go to him for advice! I was inwardly somewhat amused tbe next morning when I called in Har ley street aud joined a couple of de mure middle aged females in Dr. Par sons' waiting room. In less than half an hour I was something infinitely better than amus ed. "Be so good as to step this way sir. said the man, and I aud my card eat tered Bella's sanctum together. "Bella!" I cried, and "Philif cried she, and we were in each other' arms before the amazed servant cleajvia out of the room. It was a tremendous meeting, ais4 minutes passed before I recovered auy sanity. Then, with a fresh pork a that troubled heart of mine, I eirfaist ed: "But your husband! Good graesMss what have I done?" "He Is dead,'' she said. "It van a wretched business.

I am sorry to say that the news did not grieve me. Then I started and told Bella every thing, and afterward she told me ev ery thing. By the time that we had done with our respective histories the morning was far spent. .na now, aearest, you must pre scribe for me," I said, and I related my ey nip to ma. But she showed such a sweetly grave face at my words that I shuffled out of the role of patient back into that of lover. "At any rate, my Bella, you w ill now be my life's physician?" I ask ed. And so she is. We study each oth er's hearts that is the main business of our two lives. Nor am I nearly as bad a subject as old Jensen made out when he sent me where he believed and fully hoped I should find my cure. Casnell's Saturday JournaL Tiefal Hints. Fruta lh?

The best way is to dip them iu warm water in which white soap and a small piece of pearlash has beeti dissolved.

If the paint is fnh it can be easily removed by applying the tur pentine with a sponge, but wheu dried it is better to mix with tlie turpentine an equal part of pure alcohol and clean off with U-nzine. One way to brew tea for the 5 o'clock cup is to pulverize tbe leaves, moisten them with cold water aud let them stand twenty minutes, then add a suf ficient amount of boiling water and steep one minute. This is called Leigh Hunt tea. When cream is extremely rich it can be whipped more easily if a little milk is added to it- It will also whip more easily if it is well chilled. For cleaning the spots ou the carpet ox gall, ammonia and water are excel lenL The proportion is one table spoonful of household ammonia to four parts of water, or use oue tablespoon ful of ox gall to one quart of water. Apply with a sponge or flannel not too wet and rub until nearly dry. Lime spots may be removed with vine gar. This must be used quickly and washed oil immediately. For soot, cov er with salt or cornmeal and sweep up. To remove ink spots pour on milk, anil as it becomes colored absorb with blot ting or other soft absorbent paper; coarse butcher's paper is good. As soon as the ink is removed wash with warm water and castile soap nothing stronger to remove the grease of the milk. For cold Russian tea, take four tea spoonfuls of tea, four cups boiling wat er, four slices of lemon. Some people prefer the tea stronger, and two tea spoonfuls of tea may be used to each cup of water. One or two blocks of sugar may be used. To serve, the glass must be filled three-quarters fall of cracked ice, a slice of lemon is plac ed on bp and the hot tea is poured over the whole. Where a fire has to be kept up all night in the room of an invalid an old loose glove should be kept handy, with a long stick. With tbe glove on, a piece of coal be picked up with the fingers and pat on the fire without making a sound; while, when the fire requires poking, this can be done with the stick with far less noise than with an ordinary poker. It is better for bouse plants if the soil be loosened about tbe roots once a week. This allows the air to reach the roots, and assists the evaporation of the excessive moisture w hen they have too much wetting. Always have tbe water at least as warm as the tempera ture of the room when using it upon plants. What Fruit Contains. 1. A large percentage of water. 2.

Tiie right tim-? to hoe a garden is as soon after every shower as the soil will work nicely. After a shower weeds spring up by myriads, and if tne sur face of the soil is stirred while they are iu the seed leaf every one of tliein is destroyed; while, if permitted to be come a few inches high, they w ill lie very difficult to destroy. It is bot always safe to separate the ewes and lambs sudilenly, especially in the warm weather, when any unusual conditiou in the ewe may lead to unex pected trouble. The rule niu-t be a close over-sight of the flock, one by one, and the drafting off of thoneewes whose laoibs may be safely separated from them permanently. The best working animals must come from working sires and dams. A coit from a pampered sire may be handsome. but when it comes to hard work he wilt be ''soft" aud cannot le counted on to do bis share of pulling all day. The best sire, if not the prettiest, is one that works in harness every day. Almost always it is good practice to harrow plowed laud as soou as possible after it bas been plowed. In turning the furrow there are inevitably large air spaces left under it, which, exoept in very early springtime, drv it out much too quickly to make a good, mel low and moi-t seed bed. It is all the worse if the soil is clayey ia texture and has been plowed when too weL Then the furrow between the dry air under it and the dry air abve it bakes into a clay brick that no plant roots can penetrate. But if the furrow is broken down soon after being turned the soil dries and becomes baked. French dairymen are complaining of the increasing importations of coco but ter, which is threatening to displace not ouly tbe genuine article, b it aLso oleo.

Value d -p.-nds upon the cow's yield of milk, and not upon her beauty. We have always been well aware that Dorset Horn breeds will readily give birth to a lamb or lambs in NoveuiUr, and yield another birth the ensuing May or June, but we have heard own ers of large flocks of that breed condemn the practice as likely to injure the stamina of the ewes and tend in the eud, if much resorted to, rather disad vantageously to the general health and well-being of a flock. Mark Lane Ex press ( England ). Corn ensilage weighs from 40 to 50 pounds per cubic foot, depending main ly ou the height of the ensilage aIove it and the compression to which it is subjected. Probably 40 to 4 cubic feet will be the usual bulk of a tou of ensi lage. It is easily worth one-third the value of hay, ton for ton, though it is rather cheaper for most farmers to put up three tons of ensilage, including cut ting it, thai; oue ton of bay, as all the way froni 1 to li) or more tons o suc culent corn fodder cau be grown on land where it would be difficult to cut two tons of meadow bay. No man ought to be employed to drive or care for a team that is not nat urally fond of horses. If bedoes not like them he will not study their wants or habits, and will be likely to neglect and spoil a good team. Such a mau ought to drive mules or oxen, - or to work out his living with a spade or pick. It does not take a careless or heedless man long to spoil more horseflesh than his wages amount to iu a season. A bad-tempered man will spoil the temp er of the best horse. Professor W. H. Jordan, of the Gene va Experimental Statiou, says: "Tliere are two factors which determine what a cow can produce viz: The animal and tbe food. Cap we so manipulate the food, irrespective of the animal, that we can secure an approximate amount of tbe product that we want? In other words, cau we manipulate the dairy cow as we please? I would stop discussing this question if people were not still asking iL Now, I do not want to say, iu a bigoted way, that you can not improve the quality of the milk by tbe way in which you feed her, but I do want to say that the cow chiefly determines the quality of the product. In other words, if you have a machine that weaves cloth a yard wide it w ill not weavecloth two yards wide. What do I base my statements upon. Per haps you tbiuk milk is tbe product of food chiefly. If that were , tbea id. WHOLE NO. 2402. breed distinction would di-sppear, and the thiu milk cows might be made thick milk cows." Many a farmer goe plodding along, earning but a scant living, and with no rest in sight this side of the grave, who might by a little reasoning and tlie adaption of circumstances surrounding bim to the idea in view, make a spe cialty of some one line of fanning, and make a ying businem of it.

In setting a plum orchard give a northerly expwure if possible, and one of a considerable elevation. A wind break on the east is very desirable. Plant close bgelher in the rows, 10 to IU feet aud tw ice the distance between rows, running rows north and south. Mix varieties in the row and keep the trees headed low. ' Cultivate some hoed T"p or set small fruit between rows, aud keep well cultivated. When in bearing thin the fruit and market in pei k and half-bushel crates or iiasket, handling carefully ard packing before fruit is too ripe. Clesn out the feet of horses when they come in from the field after the day's work is done, and brush out the feltlock, the neck aud breast, and if thtre is any sign of tenderness, bathe with saltwater, or vinegar aud water. If the work horses do not go out into the pasture to get a bit of grans occa sionally, give each a pound of potatoes two or three times a week, or souk car rots or mangels. No work horse should la? fed dus!y hay. The cattle can eat it. Iut clos the Ilius of the horse and brings oa coughs that may Uoaii troublesome. It is a mUtake to plant field beets iu narrow rows, so that ail the work has to be doae by hand. There is a little hand la!or needed while the plants are small, but after that all the w ork of cultivation cau l best done w ith the cultivator. If the horse is car.-ful and steady a width of two feet between the rows is sufficient for all kinds of beets. But their tos will grow so lare as to completely sha-le the soil between. The mandrel w urtel grows sti'l larr aud had l?tter be planted iu rows two feet six inches or two feet ten inches apart, and thinned to ten inches apart iu the rows. Even at this distance the mangel tops will completely shade the ground, and the roots w ill grow so that they will nearly or quite touch each other. By thus using horse labor for cultivation the beet crop may be very easily and cheaply grown. Thinji wj Osjht to Xajw.

Mijor Baraett Explains- Some important changes in the Bak er ballot law were made by the late Ivgislature and many inquiries have been revived at the State Department regarding the-n. M j r James E.

"The general practice of the per sons filing these pa(4-rs was to delay until the last day, thus allowing them selves no time f.r eorrectiorj of such papers as were decided to be improper. Many of them came with thousands of names upon them, having an affi-lavit mode by five persons that all the per son whose names were on the paper were qualified voters. "This was mat.ifetly a!iurl, as such a fact was eutireiy beyond their knowledge. A great many paper came in also fastened lofieely by pins, so that any number of these loose sheets could Lave been inserted after ward without the knowledge of those making the affidavit. In order to ob viate this difficulty section three was amended to provide that blank forms tor making such nominations shall be furnished by the Secretary of the Com monweaIth,and no other forms than the ones so prescribed shall be Used for such purpose. "A great deal of difficulty was also occasioned by dirfereut politic-al bodies lecting the same name. This pro duced much confusion and contention, and in order to avoid this the follow ing amendment was also niade to sec tion three: " 'Provided, That if five of the elec tors compiling any pohti'-nl t.-ln-s making a nomination by uoruiualioii lajrs shall tile with the prothouotary of the county i:i w hich the nomination pajier or pa-rs are to I? tiled an affi davit setting forth that they have adopted a certain o.itica! appellation to designate their policy, sut ject to the limitations of this act regarding tiie selection of names, that LereafUr such political body sLali have the ex elusive right to us? the said name or appellation for the election for which sjch nomination or nominations are made. Provided that a cvrtiS-a:e from the prothouotary setting forth such eoniplianee with the act be filed with the nomination papers filed by such political bs!y.' "Section four w-as amended to cover the decision of the Dauphin couuty court iu Brackenride's ca-e, where it was decided that the proviso of section fsjr of the act of lso.i U confined to nomination pnjiers which follow cer tificate of nomination ma le by a con vention of delegates, (the single case which it expresses), and is not to be construed to cover nomination papers which follow certificates of nomina tion made, not by conventions of dele gate, but by primary meeting of elec tors or caucus held under the rules of a political party which at the election uext prvs-eding polled at leai-t two per cenL of the lart entire vote for any offi.je cast ia the State. I a order to make the section harmonize with sec tion two the words "or primary meet ing of electors or caucus held under the rales of a political party or any boarl authorized to certify nominations' were inserted so that none of the party ap pelations used by any of these nomi nating agencies cau be used hereafter iu nomination papers. "Iu section five of the act cf ll the word 'representatives' was omitted, al though the word 'senators was includ ed iu specifying the oftkvs for which nominations should Is? filed iu the of fice of the Secretary of the Common wealth. It was decided by the Iau phin county court some time ago that certificates of nomination for the office of representative should te filed with the Secretary of the Cuuimoa wealth, but the omission of the word still oc casioned some confusion, and during the last session of the Legislature one contested election case was decided upon the fact that the member whose seat was contested had filed his certifi cate of nomination with the County Commissioners of Northumberland county instead of with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. "Iu tbe ameuded section the word 'representatives' has been inserted. It is also provided iu the amend men t to this section that certificates of nomiua tkn w hich are to I? filed in the office of the S.-cretary of the Common wealth shall l tiled at least forty-two days before the day of election, iu steid of tweniy-eighL Oae of the amendments to section six provide that where objection are filed to any certificates of nomiuatiou with nomi nation papers, such objections must also be filed w ith the officer or officer with whom such certificates or papers have been filed whether the Secretary of the Commonwealth or county eoni-nil-siouers notice tliat objection has been made. "Oiog to the contests in the Dau phin county court lat fall, it was im possible for this office to give the coun ty commissioners timely notice as to the size and composition of the official ballot, thereby producing a great deal of auuoyance. as many of tbe county commissioners depended upon outside p rties to print their ballots. This will t avoided tosomeextetit hereafter by another amendment to section six, which provi.les tliat objections to cer tificates of nomination filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth niut lie made thirty-five days before the election instead of twenty-one, and in the case of nomination papers tweuty eigut days before the election instead of eighteen. This will afford the court an opportunity to dispose of contested cases in time to give county commis sioners due notice as to the size, etc., of the official ballot "The ballot under the act of 1KS has been growing larger sad more un wieldy each year. Some limitation had to le put upon its size, aud this amendment, which applies equally to certificates of nomination aud nomina tion papers, thus putting them upon equality iu this respect, was adopted. Siue statements have beeu made tliat the ameudmeut is unconstitutional, but there seems to be no reason for such suppsitiou."
