HUMOKOU3. HEB HUSBAND'S XIECE. "George, when did yoo ret this let tar?" asked Mattie Henderson, as ahe (lanced into her husband's face. "On 'Wednesday," he said, with Mm hesitation. 'And this is Friday," rebnkingly re plied his wife. "You carried it about In yeur pocket for at least two days. It is from your niece, Fanny Atwood. She left New York yesterday and will be here on te 8 o'clock train this morning, anr) it is hMf-pact 7 now. This is a nice state t affairs, isn't it?" "It was careless in me, Mattie," the young farmer regretfully admitted. lie was a handsome, pood-natured fellow, sturdy in frame and pleasing In speech, lie bad a whip in his hand, and his wagon, loaded with milk cans, was standing at the gate. "She says she'll get oil' at Forest station, where you are to meet her," Mrs. Henderson said, her eyes once more on the letter. "Oh, pshaw," cried the husband with an impatience unusual with him. "I can't. I must have my milk at Beaver station on time. Why didn't ahe come over the road most conve nient to me." "1 suppose she'll have to walk here," replied the young wife. "And as she ays that she intends to stay thiec weeks, no doubt die lias brought her trunk with her a trunk of no mean dimensions, I'll venture to predict. I am a good deal more put out about it than you are. There's the butter to churn, the clothes to iron, the currant jelly to make, and goodness only knows what else. She'll be too dainty to lay a hand to anything, and will spend her time reading, sleeping and Ulllng in the hammock. She might have waited to be asked." 'I know it will prove an infliction," the hushar.d consolingly said. "Itut I guess there's nothing to do but to bear it. Things may not turn out 60 bad as you fancy they will." He got into the wagon and drove off. Vrs. Henderson walked into the spring house to churn the butter. She was seldom peevish and rarely complained, but tho visit really seemed inopportune. Bhe was not very strong, and as she worked early and late and took no re creation, it was beginning to tell on her nerves. The farm was not entirely paid for, and they were not able to keep a girl. She was a sensible little woman, and felt that it was her duty to second her thrifty husband's efforts. Leisure, if not competency, would come by aud by. In descending the steps of the spring house, she fell and sprained her ankle, the pain so great that she almost fainted. " That means a week of enforced Idleness," she despairingly thought. " Time so precious and that fashionably-reared Niece of (Jeorge's more of a hindrance than a help. Oh, dear! " After much painful effort sha suc ceeded in reaching the sitting-room, and threw herself upon the comfortable lounge. She fell into a doze, and when she opened her eyes, there stood Fanny Atwood, looking down into her face. She had on a plain, sensible- looking traveling dress. Her figure was com pact, her complexion healthy, her air sbeerful, and her demeanor self-possessed. Her cheeks were dimpled, her mouth indicated resolution, her soft brown eyes offered confidence and in vited it. She had walked two miles through the hof sun, over a dusty road, but one would liarlly have thought so, she looked so neat, clean and placid. "You are my Aunt Mattie, I sup pose?" she said, in a low, sweet voice, a smile lurking among her dimples. "Yes," Mrs. Henderson said with an effort. "Your uncle forgot to give me your letter until this morning. He could not meet you because he had to deliver the milk over at the other rail road at the hour you named. I am sorry you had to walk." "I wasn't vexed about it," replied the visitor. "Nor am I in a hurry bout my trunk." "I sprained my ankle," Mrs. Hen derson said, "I am afraid I will not be about for three or four days." . "That is too bad," comjiiseratingly rejoined Miss Atwood. "It seems I Was just to come. I can do ever so snanv things for you." "Yes," grimly assented Mrs. Hen derson. "I'll first look after that ankle," the visitor said, briskly, cheerfully. Sha removed her dainty-looking euffa, aad then took off her aunt's shoe and stocking. "It is considerably swollen," she said. "I am not surprissd," replied Mrs. Henderson. "You'll find a bottle of liniment in the cupboard, yonder." "I wouldn't put liniment on it iust yet," advised Fanny. "Have you any sugar of lead?" "Very likely. Look in that medi cine box in the cupboard. There's a little of everything there, almost." Fanny found the sugar of lead, and then some linen suitable for a ban dage. She put the sugar of lead in a basin, added cold water, soaked tho bandage in it and wrapped it around the swollen ankle. She went about it like a professional nurse. "That feels very cooling," Mrs. Henderson gratefully said. "There is nothing reduces a swelling Uke sugar of lead water," replied Fanny. "I wet the bandage every now and then with it. Just you re main quiot, dearie, and don't Hottier yourself about anything. You have BO rtrl?" , o, child," Mrs. Wcnderson sand. '"We cannot afford to keep one." "I'll get Uncle his dinner," an toonaced Fannv. 'You'll get George his dinuerl" repeated Mrs. Henderson. Fanny noticed the incredulity in her one, laughed prettilv and said: "Why shouldn't I? If you will al low me to skirmish around 111 manage to find things. However, it isn't near dinner time yet. When I went to the kitchen for the basin 1 saw you had sprinkled the clothes. Shall I iron them?" . She saw the odd smile that came-to her tired Aunt's lips and correctly in terpreted it. "Maybe you think I can't iron," she pleasantly said. "Just you wait and see." "But the dress vou have on, Miss Atwood? It " "Was selected for service," comple ted Fanny. "Of course I'll put on one of your aprons." When George Henderson returned from his errand, he heard some one singing cheerily in the kitchen. He slapped in and saw his niece ironing way as deftly as if she had spent the best part of her life at it. She made such a pretty picture that he stood still and looked at her. How do you do, uncle?" a twinkle f merriment in her brown eyes; than she went and kissed him, stand ing on tip-toe Co do to. "I'm glad you've come, Fannie," he laid with heartiness. "I suppose tattle a explained why I did not meet you at the station? But why ait you ironing? AVhere is Mattie?" "She is lying down, nncle. She fell aud sprained her ankle." Mr. Henderson stepped into the sitting-room, a look of concern on hi face. "Why, dear, how did this happen?' he kindly asked. "Oh, how does anything happen?" she replied a little querulously. "Through my own awkwardness, ne doubt. I almost fainted, the pain wat so great." "LVjes it pain you now, dear?" 'I am glad to say that it dusent." 'I'll bathe it with sugar of lead water," he said. "There isn't any thing better." 'Fanny has already done that," re plied the wife. "It was her own sug gestion." 'Oh," ejaculated Mr. Henderson, with increasing appreciation of hit niece. "And she insists upon ironing. A pretty mess she'll make of it." "Well, maybe not," Mr. Henderson said in a quiet tone. "I watched hci a little while. Mattie, you are a good ironer, but she is your equal." "Oh, nonsense, George!" exclaimed Iiia wife. "Kearcd in the city, aud she has been " "Didn't necessarily make her a lazy, silly, novel-reading imbecile," inter rupted her husband. "Perhaps wl haven't been just to Fanny. I thii she is a solid, energetic, capable sort ol a girl, and it is lucky that she came." "Well, I hope it may prove so," doubtingly rejoined the wife. "George, there's the butter!" "I'll churn that," he said. "We'll get along. Just you keep your mind at ease. You will get about much sooner if you do." Fanny Atwood prepared dinner, now and then slipping into the sitting room to wet the bandage, and to dial in her cheery way with her patient. On the third day Mrs. Henderson was able to hobble to the kitchen, where she found everything in most excellent order. "Look at my currant jelly," Fanny proudly said, as she held up one of the glass jars to the light. It was trans lucent and bright as ruby tinted wine. 'It is very nice," Mrs. Henderson said. "How much sugar did yoc take?" "Pound for pound," replied Fanny. "I wasn't extravagant, was I?"' "You wero wise," her aunt said with a smile. She opened the door leading ink the cellar. "Fanny, did you whitewash tin stairway?" she asked in surprise. "Yes, auntie. It needed it. Ikncw you meant to do it, for I saw you line slaked the lime. Isn't it nicely done?' "Very nicely," Mrs. Henderson said "But it wasn't right for you to do it Surely your hands " "Look at them," Fanny said, laugh ing. 'They are as white and soft ai any lady's. I put gloves on and thci I have a sort of dainty way of work ing. I can do it well without pitchhif into it all over. I have a knack, oi mother calls it. If it was right foi you to whitewash the cellar-way, ii was right for me to whitewash it. ; came here to help you and to span you; to ride the horses, to go to tin mill with Uncle George, and to maki myself useful and welcome. If yot are not going to let me work, or hav any fun, why, I'll go right bock t New York." She spoke with voluble earnestness her gestures rapid, her dimples dauc ing. Mrs. Mattie Henderson sat down ii a chair and cried. "Why, aunt, what is the matter?' asked Fanny, her brown eyes widen ing. "I hope I didn't say anything to " "No, dear, you didn't," replied Mrs Henderson in a broken voice. "I an crying because I am ashamed of my self because 1 have been so uukint to you in my thoughts. I suppose that you would annoy me, and hinde me ; that you would be helpless, 6elf ish, fault-finding; that you " "But you think more kindly of mi now, do you not?" interrupted Fanny her hands moving caressingly over he: aunt's hair. "Most certainly I do," replied Mrs Henderson, explosively. "That is wh; I confess my injustice why I want t make amends why I " "Don't mind it, aunty," said thi sweet, forgiving, sympathetic voice "I don't censure you, and it's all righ now. There may be and, in fact there are listless, frivolous, lielples girls in New York City aud in othei cities but I am not one of them. I: I was, I am afraid I would despise myself." "I am glad that you have come Fanny, and I will be sorry wheu yoi go," Mrs. Henderson said, and shi meant it. "My prejudices misled me and I have been taught a lesson Hereafter I'll not be so hasty in esti mating people, especially before I havi met them." USEFUL NOTES.

Jersey Cattle for Bcb In some recent experiments by the Michigan Agricultural College, the tuprising result was found that the Jersey beef, though costing more per pound to fatten, was enough better so that for those who appreciate the dif ference between good beef and poor it would pay to fatten it. This is con trary to the common impression among farmers. The small size of Jersey cat tle has turned attention from this breed for the butcher, but it had in the so experiments a smaller percent age of waste meat than any other, and was especially fine flavored in parU. These experiments have not been tried far enough yet to be conclusive. In dividual peculiarities of farm have much to do with the amount of waste in animals, and the flavor of meat is, as every one knows, greatly dependent upon what the animal has been fed. Growing- Sweet potatoes In the Kortk The first and most important step ia the selection of the soil, for while sweet potatoes can be grown on almost any kind of land where drainage is good, yet soil in which sand predominates Is very much the best Land should be used which drains to the south or south-east, and on which the water will not remain on the sur face after rains. Kidges at least a foot hish are nec essary, and they can be made ia the small garden or field by pulling the earth together with a hoe, care being taken that all trash or weeds and grass are burned beneath the surface; for these have a tendency to dry out the ridge if they protrude from the sides. Where the plot of ground planted is long enough to use a team and plow, the ridges are easily made by throwing out one furrow to the depth of four to six inches, and returning with the plow, the same soil is thrown back into the trench thus made. Now turn and go back on the other side of the partly formed ridge, making the furrow just wide enough to make a pointed ridge. If, however, the last two furrows do not meet, or if the sides of the ridge are rough or full of clods, use a hoo to smooth and even it up, and to make it as high us desired. When the seasons are short, ana es pecially if the soil is heavy, well rotted stable manure can be mixed with the soil in the ridges with good results, as it lightens the soil arid warms it and pushes the plant to maturity. The ridses are usually three to four feet apart, and the plants one to two feet apart on the ridge; the Jerseya the former, and the Benuda nnd Golden Queen the latter distance. Plants should not be put out until the weather is warm, so there will be no check in their growth. The best time to set plants is immediately after a rain, but they may be set in very dry weather by mtiking a hole in the ground with a slick, and after dropping in the plant, pour in a pint of water, and, as it set tles away, press the soil firmly about the plant; but in every case the wet soil should be covered with loose and dry dirt, as it would bake if left expos ed to the sun. Very little cultivation Is required just enough to keep down the weeds until the plants cover the ground, when they will take care of themselves. II the vines of the Jersey meet and send runners into the soil they should be lifted enough to break the small roota thus formed and confine the growth to the tubers In the ridge. This is all that is needed until digging time when they may be taken out with a hoe, spade or plow. It is not generally known that the earlier and not wholly ripened potatoes may be much sweeter by lay ing them in the sun for a few days after iigging. Vitality of Clover Reed. Many farmers do not like to use two-year-old clover seed. It is usually lighter in color than that which ii fresh, but if kept in a dry, even tem perature it will grow as welt as any. la fact, it often stays in the ground without Injury when buried too deep for germination. There need be no hesitation in buying clover seed known not to be over two years old. After that age it is probably all right, but bad better be subjected to a test bo fore being sown in the field.

The "Pillars of Hercules." to which teference ii so frequently made in' eiass!cal literature, were Calpe, now !

The importance of care in the pre. laration of the soil is sadly underrated.' 1 L. Allen of Long Island, N. Y., rites in Garden and Forest as fol lows: "This care is usually given in proportion to tbe cost of the sd, that Is, a novelty of high price receives lue attention, and for this reason, rather than for any real superiority, t may excel older sort. The m ar ret gardeners of Long Island as a rule uy their cabbage seed of a neighbor tho has a reputation for a choice var ety. sometimes far superior, he thinks, o anything to be obtained at a seed louse. Market gardeners pay from 112 to 15 per pound for the seed, then equally good seed could be ought at a reliable house for ftf. But ihe fifteen-dollar seed is the cheapest lor the gardener in tbe end, because le sows thinly in soil prepared witb ihe greatest care. "The result is that most of the seed terminates, the plants have sufficient oom for development, they do not get "leggy," but are strong and stocky, ind in the finely pulverized but well tompacted soil they are'well furnished with roots. When these plants are set n the field they do not sutler from the jhange; their vigor pushes them ihead, they are quickly established, ind yield a larg-e proportion of well levelopcd heads. Low-priced seed, purchased by the same cardener, would have been sown more thickly in loose and coarse soils, where the plants would have been long-drawn, poorly rooted and without vigor when transplanted. The product from such a beginning will be late, small and of inferior quality. This is not an imag inary case. I have seen seed from the lame stock give the best satisfaction, and in other cases none at all. The ole reason for these opposite results was that in one instance the seed was town properly and improperly in Dthers. I have more than once noted sxperiences of precisely this character among the growers of cauliflower in Suffolk county." fITSt An Ftta moppeurree oy or.

Tbe gen eral result of theae estimates is pre sented in the brief but pre3nont state ment that at present the overage coat of haulinj 100 bushels of mile is sixty cents. In Bixty cenis is mo wo , tonsone mile. If there i no mistake in tho estimate, it is something for tbe farmer to think about Tho averaze cost of haulm? 100 bushels of wheat one mile by rail is said to be one-third of a cent, irom these statements taken together, it ap pears tnat it costs 180 time, as much to haul a given qu'J , ,7' . r.. t railroad station as it does to haul it the same distance by rail. To state it in unothor way. it costs as much to haul a crop of wheat a distance of ten miles from the farm to the station as it does to uu. same crop 1.800 miles from the station i '-i, nveratre distance from the farm to the station may not be ten miles. Suppose it to be hull that distance, or five miles. It is then to be said that tne averago """'"J rail to market is not l.W0 miles, but less than half that distance. 1 he con- ,;.,, ihnt it costs fully as much to haul the crop to the station i r . t 1 a citnt inn as it does io nnui it irum to the market.

A bushel of wheat Is hauled by rail 1.500 miles for five cents. That is pretty cheap, and the farmer cannot expect much cheaper railway service very soon. It costs him five cents to haul the bushel about eight miles by wagon.

Will Hansard, a travelling salesman of Louisville, Ky., was recently pur Fiiing his calling in Iiell and Harlan counties. Those two counties are tlie most mountainous and thinly inhabited in the State. Just before starting back to Louisville he passed the night at a farm house in Harlan. When he went to bed he hung his trousers on a chair near the window. Next morning Hie trousers were gone and no one knew where. Some one passing in the night had reached in at the window and taken tlicm, for his host was above suspicion. Mr. Hansard called loudly for the farmer, expecting to borrow a pair of trousers from him. His wife came to the door and said that her husband had gone hunting an hour before, and as he had only one pair of trousers he had very naturally worn them. Here was a dilemma, but his hostess, who was a woman of expedients, solved it. She came to the door with one of her Mother Hubbard's and suggested that the drummer put it on. He consented. She tossed the garment to him and closed the door. He got into the Mother Hubbard, and went out to the stable, hitched upjliis team, and climbed into his buggy. Here he took the gar ment off and handed it back to the kindly old lady, who was full of sym pathy for him. The buggy concealed his lower extremities, and he wrapped his linen duster around them to keep them warm. Mr. Hansard drove quickly to the nearest store, about four miles away, expecting to buy a pair of trousers there, for all the country stores keep ready-malo clothing. When he cot ...i.tue lounu numerous ladies, who' K , M. lnc openin' of some new goods. He could not leave the biiggy but he yelled for the pro prietor to tome out, and to l,im he made known his predicament. The merchant bi ought to him five or six pairs of trousers. He drove down into a neighboring hollow, tried them on found a pair to fit him, and thus his tribulations were ended.

That depends, madam, upon ho you feel. If you're suffering ft functional disturbances, irregali. ties or weaknesses, you're sura "look it." And Dr. Pierce's FV vorite Prescription is the remedy It builds up and invigorates tn system, regulates and promotes th proper functions, and restores health and 6trength. It's a legitim.ta medicine, not a beverage ; purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, txk made especially for woman's needs. In the cure of all "female oom plaints," it's guaranteed to give gt isfaction, or the money is refunded No other medicine for women it sold so. Think of that, when tha dealer says something else (which pays him better) is "just as good. " Times have changed." So hgvg methods. The modern improve ments in pills arc Dr. Pierce's PI, ant Pellets. They help Nature, in stead of fighting with her. Sick and nervous headache, biliousness, costiveness, and all derangemenu of the liver, stomach and howeh are prevented, relieved, and curei MANY SUCH.
