It s a cold IkwraN twilight, but
the room was cozy where Marry Cutter
was sMt-d iu the e;tsy chair before the.
grate. Winnie was standing beside i
the chair, with oue fair hand resting
lightly upon her brother's shoulder, the
oilier hanging listlessly by her side.
Harry Cutter had been left an orphan :
at tlie age of t enty. II U arenU were
wealthy, and every comfort wealth
could give was Lavished upon him.
About this tune a malignant disease
broke out in the city where his parents '
resided, and his fattier immediately
sickentd with it and died. A month
later his i.i. it her gave birth to a daugh
ter; but Wf..r the little Winnie was an
hour old she was motherless. Harry
pr-tired a nurxt for the bahe, and soon
-.he grew to be a gay. lively fascinating
child. Mie ieg.ird d her brother more in
the light of a father or guardian, and
he, in return, watched over her with all
tli tenderness of a brother, mingled
with the Ifve and devotion of a father.
At the age of ten she hail leen placed
at a si hi 1, where .she remained until
she was siteeii years of age. .Sie was
rather s-lulit of traine, with blue eyes,
a ta:r - u n pie n, a profusion of light
brown ringlets and an artless and win
ning main, i-i.
Cuine, Harry, w hy don't you sieak?
Vdu have bisu silent at least ten
minutes. What me you thinking
alHiuty iim-stioiied Winnie trying to
rouse her brother from the reverie into
which he had fallen.
"I was thinking, Winnie," lie tf plied,
"what ou .Hid Waller aie going to do
if you get married. He has only his
del k-hip.''
" know it. Hairy," said Winnie,
"but tin intend to wait a ear at least.
You will i-oiiMMil to oar union then.

"Vis, Winnie, and, I .should not with

"I am happv to hear ou speak so,

A silence ensued for a few moments,
which was I'lukeii on'y by the monoto

mailt -1. At length Harry spoke:
"Would you and Walter like to be
married i.ow t
"Ves, indeed," replied Winnie, the

"Walter said last night," she
continued, "that he

be married then and live here with your

ment?" 'Oh how hap y we shall be!" mur
mured Wiunie, almost audibly.
After a pause of a few moments, she
asked:
"How old are you, Harry thirty
seven?" "Ves, Winnie," was the reply.
Were uii ever in love, Harry?" was
the next ouestioii.
"Yes.H mine, 1 loved once. l!ut we
will not talk of that now some time I
will tell you all about it."
"I'lease tell me now," said Winnie,
cuttingly.
"Well, I will, since you desire It."
"When I was a young man I loved a
woman named I.ucy Aleut t. auj her
parents had appointed a day for our
marriage. She was I'D years of age, a
beautiful, accomplished woman, with a
kind word and a smile for everylwly.
"She was the only woman I ever loved,
and I think she reciprocated my love;
but 1 am not sure. t Mice 1 was absent
from home for a week, attending to
business in a distant city. While 1 was
gone l.ucy attended a party with a
young man who did not btfir a good
reputation. hi my return I heard of
it, and immediately called to see her.
She greeted me affectionately, as was
her wont, but I upraided her harshly
for her thoughtless conduct.
"W hy did you attend Mrs. Loring's
party with Charles llaker?" I asked.
" 'liecause I wanted to. I did not
think there w.is any harm iu it' she
replied.
" 'Vou knew it was against my
wishes,' 1 said sternly,
" 'Vou might have delayed your busi

that party, she tepled, a little willfully.
" 'My business was of importance,
and could not be delayed.
" 'Well, Mr. Cutter, 1 am not your

she saul, in a Voice ot mingled pride
and anger.

I asked.
" 'I do,' w as the reply.

her voice when she bade me 'good eve

reconciliation. Now you know, Win
tile, why 1 never married."
"Have you ever seen I.ucy Alcott
since you parted with her that night?"
asked Winnie, after her brother had
Concluded.
"No, Winnie, I have not, but I have
heard she still continues to reside in
this city, but in seclusion, la-t us drop

relapsed into a thoughtful silence.
It was a clear, cold Christmas after
noon. Harry Cutter was seated m his own
room, deeply engaged in the contents of
a book.
.Everything hid neen ar-.rged for
the marriage of his sister, was to
take place in the evening.

"Well. I do not, to tell the truth,

rising and closing his book.
"1 think you will when you know
who she is," said Winnie, 'while she
vainly tried to repress the merry light
that darn ed in her blue eyes.
"Oh. Hairy! it is Lucy Alcott!"'
"I cau not see her, Winnie," was the
reply.
"Vou must. Harry! She loves you!

The ptist winter has inflicted losses
on range cattle whose amount do one
is able to state; but which have already
had their effect on the price of beef cat
tle in Chicago. This has been supple
mented by losses due to the drouth in
the region immediately around the
great uieat market of the country, and
pri-es have steadily advanced through
A ugust until they stand on a level with
imitations a year ago. But neither
fall nor advance can greatly interest
the consumer, who sometimes has to
pay more because it has gone down.
Iteer cattle prices in 'hlcago, as a table
prepared by Wood Brothers, or that
citv, shows," were lower for List June
and Julv than for any year on record,
exce HT-. and the difference between
prices in lTS and 1-7 is less than 1
ler cent. As cornered with the period
..f high prices from to l-vi, the
fall is from to .'ft prr cent. In other
words dollar will buy from twice to
once and a half as much meat on the

would in the five yeais or high prices.
In July of lJ and 1S3, when the
prices of liecf cattle were highest, the
tariff rate on cattle by the railroad was
50 and "." cents a hundred-weight from
New Vork to Chicago, and in the first
of these years the published tariff of the
I'eniisvivauia allowed a rebate of 20
cents. " The rate is now li cents a hundred-weight.
The cost of transporta
tion is, therefore, lower, as well as the
lirst cost of the cattle. Hut the family
market kiskct cannot be filled a bit
heavier for h dollar now than it could

tills his car for two-thirds the money
and sends it more cheaply. On the
plains the steer is worth from a cent

The elts come from all parts of the

common cat skin is worth five cents;
a pure maltese, ten cents; and a black

Iv-spite the talk about diamond fields
in Kentucky, but few gems of any sort
have been found iu the limits of the
I'nited states. The most celebrated
diamond beds are in India. Brazil and
South Africa, although single stones
have occasionally lieen picked up in
Virginia and North Carolina. Mexico
furnishes many gems, particularly opals,
but North America, while rich in gold
and silver, appears to lie poor in pre
cious stones. North Carolina has fur
nished some interesting stones, particu
larly the biddenite, a grass green gem
allied In chemical character to the topaz,
but of a color pieviously unknown. It
occurs in Alexander county, in the
foothills east of the B.ue Kidge, and
was named for its discoverer. Hidden.
In the region, in McDowell county,
where there are gold mines, are also
found in great variety stones of more or
less vJue. The mining is carried on
chiefly tor gold by the hydraulic sluic
ing system, iu which the mountain
st i earns are employed to wash down the
hillsides, 1 lie earth is sluiced out for
gold, and all the stones which remain
m the sluices are carefully examined.
A correspondent from the mines states
that valuable rough specimens are often
tound, and as much as the value of

on one occasion a diamond worth $1,000

doubt equally rich.
A novelty iu chemical science Is the
turning to practical account the fact,
Jong so well known that carbonic acid
gas, under pressure of thirty-six atmos
pheres and at a temperature or 0 .,
passes Into the llqnld state. The Im
portant feature of this proceeding con
sists in providing a vessel capable of
holding the acid under the necessary
pressure, and yet so that it should be
available when required. Tins is ef
fected by constructing a wrought iron
cylinder of about ten liters capacity,
representing a quautity of liquid acid
which is sutlicieut when lilierated from
pressure to yield about 4-500 liters ot
carbonic acid gas of ordinary density.
At one end, and screwed into the metal
of the cjlmder, is an exactly finished
brass screw Talve-top, somewhat simi
lar in principle to a high-pressure
w ater top. by which the exit of the gas
can be controlled, so that it may puss
into the gasometer or other vessel at
any rate desired. Each cylinder will.
It is slated, withstand a pressure equal
to two hundred and tirty atmospheres;
iu fact, with a temperature of 2ou c,
it is claimed that the enormous pres
sure of twelve hundred atmjspheres
can in this way be made applicable.
A eorrt jKmrfent states that corks
that have been used, after lying for
weeks around in bar-rooms, covered
with bad smelling and fomenting vege

them to a kind of bleaching process,
run them through a smoothing machine
and sell them to bottlers, weiss-beer
brewers and others for use again. A
cork may be ever so well cleaned, but
the internal fissures in It always retain
some of the Tegetations referred to and
communicate their ravaging properties

Kltctric lanterns will, it is thought,
take the place, in course of time, of the
ordinary mining safety-lamps. An

about three pounds; illuminating power,

present lamps; duration of light, ten
hours, cost of repairs, charges of bat

or. Dale Ardavan's Confeloa.
Rival in and I were seated In thecosej
back iarlor looking over our wardrobes.
I had an array of faded old dresses thai

until there was nothing else could hi

sav 1 was a little jealous.
We expected a visit from our cousin.

every thing since I was a baby, but I
liked the big, manly fellow just the
same.
if Pale noticed our shabbiness he
said nothing about it when he came.
I saw very little of him, as I taught the
village school, but he was generally on
hand to speak a kind word when I
started out Kosalle ami he spent
w hole days together, and it looked very
much like a match would result.
ne morning as they were starting
oil to go to a picnic he stopped me with
an earnest look on his face.
"Why will you work yourself to
death?' lie said. "Better come witb
us to the woods."
But I shook my head. I could not

lex ndent on my efforts. All day iu
the hot school-room his kindly eyes fol
lowed me and cheered me.
In the aftenioou, just as recess was

had all I could do to reassure the chil

the roof of the school-house fell in.
I can rememler being picked up it

tears upon my face, and lips pressed to
mine; then all was blank again.
But one morning obi sweet, blessed
relief! I owned my eyes on our own
homely little room, never before a par

very still, and 1 slowly took in each
familiar object. eated by the window.
his face hidden in his hands, was Dale
Ardavan.
"Dale," I said, in a thin, weak voice.
surely not my voice, "come here."
He started forward, but checked the
words that rose to his lips, and came
and knelt quietly by the liedsule, and 1
ant sure that there was something moist
on the pitiful, wasted hands he bent
over, but he said never a word.
"lale," I went on, questioningly,
scarcely positive yet as to my own
identity, "I have lieen very ill!"
'Ves, very ill, my Miriam; but
you must not talk, not ever so little.
Vou are lctter now, so much better,
but quiet is essential."
"Tell me, then, everything, all about

how the village had congregated, and

worked as never before in an agony of
fear, for it was their own flesh and
blood that lay buried beneath.
"lou escaped better than most of

sion, "and bad it not been for the fever

One evening, a bleak, gloomy even

lay on the luxurious easy-couch that

many other comforts into our bumble
borne, the door oiiened softly and 1 ale
entered, his bright, sunny face scariug
away the shadows gathering with the
dreamy twilight.
"A letter for me?" I asked, seeing
he brought the mail.
"No, but you may read mine tliat
Is, if there is light sufficient," and he
came and stood beside me."
"Ohl I can see," I said, reaching up
for the letter.
It was short enough very short, to
bold all that it did for me. The experi
enced physician who had accept. 1 Dale
as his iiartner for the coming Winter
had grown impatient of his prolonged

turn. It had come, then, this thing that I
had been resolutely shutting my eyes
to for the past few weeks this thing
that was too terrible to even think or.
He was going.
The twilight shadows were most wel

"When do you think, Miriam," he
asked, half lightly, half earnestlv,
"that you' will be well enough to dis
pense with my medical attentions?
when will you be your old self, the
light-hearted, light-footed little girl
that sprang Into my arms the first day
I came, do you remember?"
1 did not answer immediately; I was
thinking, thinking that I could never
again be the same Miriam, that my life
could never again go back to its old,
contented, unbroken level. But such
thoughts must not be put into words,
and silence could not last forever, and
so, after a little, my answer came, com
monplace and quiet:
"I am getting better and stronger so
rapidly, and your duties demand your
presence so imperatively, 1 think I can
do very well without you now.'
A prim, awkward speech, primly and
awkwardly spoken.
Dale laughed and knelt beside me.
"Complimentary, indeed ; but sup
pose, Miriam, that I can never do with
out you again at least," slipping an
arm about my head, aud taking captive
both hands, "I do not mean to try the
experiment if there is the slightest
chance of taking a wife home with me
any time between this and Christmas.
What do you say, Miriam?'
The twilight shadows were deepen

of a rapturous love was breaking, and

from our lives.

Cat oh the Farh. Cats ought to
have an honored place on the farm, but
too often they have no place at alL
This Is because they are kept at the
house, fondled by the pet-loving child
ren, and fed by the kind-hearted
women until they become lazy and
worthless. The Tanner esteems cats
less highly than dogs, but the former
are sometimes or the greater value to
him. Barn cats should rarely be
allowed to come In the house, and never
be fed there. AH they need Is plenty
or milk; compel them to get the rest or
their living, and they will find it about
the barn, granaries, cribs, sheds, and
in the fields. A good moaser is worth
ten cents per day about a granary .crib,
or barn. Mice not only destroy grain,
but make It filthy for stock ;they nibble
sacks and implements and do much
other mischief. A good cat will destroy
large rats as well as the young ones.
We have an old Maltese Tom, which
gets his living by catching ground
mice in the orchard and garden, and is
therefore a valuable cat. At the
season, when barns granaries, and cribs
are filled, a cat is doubly usefuh Give
Tom and Tabby a fair trial, and you
will always keep cats.
IUise A Calf. A great many
people who should raise a calf or two
every year are prevented from doing
so because they don't know how. Here
Is one way and an easy one: Give new
milk warm from the cow for the first
week, then begin to add skim milk a
little at a time, heating it a little
warmer than new milk and add a table
spoonful each ot ground oats and corn
meal to the mess. If the calf scours
use wheat flour instead of corn meal
for two or three feedings. At the end
or three weeks the new milk will be
entirely replaced by the skim milk, and
the grain ration gradually increased
until a pint a day is reached. It is
best to reed the calf three times a day,
and at first it may be fed oftener, but
at no time give more than four quarts
of milk until the calf Is a month old.
It IB a good plan to have a broad
bottomed trough fixed so it cannot be
upset in which to pour the calf's food,
and give it a iick of bran or meal in
the dry state. Spread such food well
over the bottom of the box, and mix
some nice flue clover hay with it. If
the calf scours give it scorched chopped
wheat in its milk, and only a little at a
time, and it will soon stop scouring.
Keep the young things clean; handle
and fondle them, treat them kindly
and gently and you will be pleased
with the result.
IT is Important, to distinguish in
plants the difference let ween what may
be termed the vegetative and reproduc
tive stages in plants, says Mr. Thomas
Meeham. If a branch on an unfruitful
tree be "ringed," or in some other way
injured, that branch is at once brought
to the fruit-bearing or reproductive
condition. So far there is an antagon
ism between Uie vegetative and repro
ductive stages. When the reproduc
tive stage is reached there is another
subdivision. The part to which nutri
tion most freely flows produces chiefly
female flowers, while the part to which
nutrition flows less freely yields chiefly
male flowers. Any one can see this
who examines a larch, a spruce or a
pine.
Many a man has broken his back
and lost bis heart on a poor farm which
be has suffered to run down by bad
management. He has spread bis labor
and capital over loo acres, when by
confining himself to twenty-five or
thirty he might have become happy
and rich. The way to repair such an
error is to begin with one field and get
that into good condition, and let the
rest lie, and so go on through the farm.
One rich field will then make it easy to
enrich another or two; and while the
beginning is slow, it is down-bill work,
and as the end is nearly reached pro
gress is fast and easy. :
The fence corners are the pest-boles
of the farm. From them spring
nearly all the weed seeds and underslr
able grasses which are scattered over
the fields. Kail fences are expensive
on account of the ground they occupy
and the weeds they protect. If neces
sary, the hoe should be brought into
requisition to clean out the spaces along
the fence.
Time for Budding. Fears on pear
stocks are usuellv budded in July; on
quince in the first half of September,
l'lums are in the best shape for this
operation from the latter part of July
until the middle of August, aud apples
from the first to the middle of August;
cherries on mazzard stocks about the
first of August, and on mabale about
a month later, l'eaches are usually
budded in the nurseries the same season
the seeds are planted and about the
first half of September.
A Wash for Trees. It is a mis
take to suppose that ordinary white-
wasn. M much used, is the best tree
wash. Soft soap reduced to a paint
like insistency with water, and to
which has been added a strong solution
of washing soda, is better for one. A
wash made by dissolving one pound of
stove polish in three gallons of water
is also considered superior to the liine
wash.
Wire grass is a pest that proves
very troublesome, as every joint pro
duces a new plant. If it overruns a
field the surest mode of killing it is to

Sweet Totatoes. Dig as soon as

careful not to bruise the tubers. These

the sun, and then be packed in perfect

Give the late cabbages a good culti
vating or hoeing as often as it can be
conveniently done. There Is no crop
that responds so quickly to cultivation
as the cabbage, and where the land has
been well manured it is a paying crop.
Cultivating the beets should still
be done, as they will continue to grow
until the rrost shall appear. Beets as

stored away. Carrots should also re

Salsify; in salads. Cold salsify
makes a pleasant salad when mixed
with a French dressing, or any other
simple dressing. It is also nice when
combined in a salad with other cooked
vegetables, like potatoes, carrots, beans
and cauliflower. Sometimes It is used
In croquettes, though it baa too deli
cate a flavor for such a dish.
Lima Beans. These beans should
stand in cold water for at least an hour
before they are cooked, and at the time
of cooking two quarts of boiling water
should be allowed for each quart of
beans. An hour's cooking will probab
ly be sufficient. The beans should be
seasoned with salt, pepper and butter,
or the white or poulette sauce, given in
one of the foregoing recipes, should be
served with them.

A discussion of what is called tele
pathy is opened. The word means
feeling at a distance the imDulse
of another mind through channels
yet unrecognized. There are two
forms which elephatic phenomena are
held to a-sume. One is that of simple
thought transference, or mind reading,
under the control of scientific experi
ment. In a mesmeric or pynotic condi
tion, and, indeed, without it, experi
ments are held to have shown that im
pressions or ideas can easily be trans
ferred from one mind to another by an
act of will. The second form is that of
a sudden, unexpected impression pass
ing from one mind to another, as a sort
of presentiment or apparition. The
writers treat not at all of apparitions
of the dead, but only ot to living.
