ShirU-y looked after him. ,
"Then he baa given up, has he?" hi
asked quickly.
"Fur the present, yes. There, don't Is,
Bt talk any more about my misfortune
I aru going to take your advice, throw thl
load off uiy mind, and try what a change
of scene will do for me. I have promised
dear I.ndy Dorrington to go down and
itay with her for a week or two. She sayf
he will get a few pleasant people togeth
er to meet me. It will be much bettei
than going away by myself."
"No doubt," returned Shirley, drawing
a chair near the table, beside which Mra
Kuthven sat "You look cheered up al
ready."
He glanced at the cash box.
Weil, if I do. It is no ordinary prool
of resignation. I have just had the .at
Isfaction of paying heavily for my agent
failure."
"Oh, that's what brought Walte herel
What a villainous countenance the follow
has!"
"I do not think so. In fact, the advan
tage of his face is that it is absolutely ex
pressionless; only I fear if he has no'
tueoeeded. no one else will."
"I suppose you will have Lady Dorrlng
ton's cad of a brother at what do yor
call her place?"
"Chedworth? Yes. It Is highly proba
ble." "I am not Important enough to be ask
ed," said Captain Shirley in an injurec"
tone.
"Nonsense, my dear friend. But if you
are, I am going to beg you not to accept."
"Why? I am sure you would not le'
me or any one interfere with you."
"Certainly not," said Mrs. Uuthven,
with sweet composure. "My renson for
asking this favor is that I want you tc
tell me what goes on in town."
"Oh, 1 have to play the honorable pan
of spy, have I?"
"You can do exactly as you like. If you
choose to disoblige me and break with
me, you can. Only "
An expressive pause.
"You know very well I don't want to do
anything of the sort. I confess to get out
of temper when I see you determined to
throw yourself away on snch a fellow as
Marsden, when you might do so mucr
better."
"I am not jo sure I could. Mr. Mars
den is evidently not the spendthrift you
made out. The money you insinuated he
had made away with for his own purposes
was forthcoming whau I needed it. I
prefer, too, being high up among the land
ed gentry, to being the wife of some new
made, insignificant peer."
"Why not an old important one?"
"Because at this moment there is scarce
one available. The Peerage gives valua
ble information."
"And because the fascinating master of
FJvesleigh happens to please your fancy?"
"What is it to you if he does?" she cried,
with sudden fierceness.
"It Is a great deal to me. I hate th
Idea," returned Shirley, bitterly.
"You don't really mean to say yon still
care who or what I like?" she exclaimed
with a slight, not unfriendly, smile, "that
Is too foolish. A strict alliance for our
mutual benefit is wise and reasonable,
but I think we have exhausted sentiment.
The fact Is, yon hate Marsden. I can see
your enmity curling the corners of your
mouth, and gleaming through the glances
you cannot veil. How can I trust you to
tell me what goes on, without exaggera
tion or prejudice. You may have nothing
to report. Marsden may ask me to marry
him during this visit. I fnncy Lady Dor
rington expects it. If so, I fear nothing,
for I do believe that if I were richer than
I am rich as Croesus he would not tie
himself to ma or to any woman unless she
could give him pleasure! It will proba
bly be but a short-lived passion. I sus
pect he Is constant only to inconstancy
till, temporarily, he likes me. Now if,
as I have sometimes thought, he la taken
with Nora IEstrange, he will be gad
ding to and fro, and spending a lot of
time at their miserable lodgings. I want
you to keep me Informed of this. I am not
going to let that girl Interfere with my
plans, cost what it may to cut her outT
She spoke with strong emphasis.
"I understand," said Shirley, who had
listened sulkily to this long speech. "It
you have set your mind on Marsden or
Eveslelgh, everything must give way. It
is a poor marriage for you, and there can
be only one explanation for It. Still,
Marsden cannot be as heavily embarrass
ed as I was led to believe. I was rathei
surprised to find be was ready with the
money for your new purchase."
"Whatr cried Mrs. Kuthven. "You Im.
agine Clifford Marsden would be faith
less to his trust? What a base suspi
cion." "I see nothing to elevate him above It,"
said Shirley with a sneer. "However, I
will endeavor to carry out your wishes, as
1 have always done, but not for nothing."
Mrs. Kuthven looked at him a curiour
searching look.
"Yon shall have your pay," she said,
In any way you like except one."
"You need not have mentioned the ex
ceptlon; I am well aware of It."
There was a pause. Then Mrs. Kuth
ven said In an altered tone:
"Lady Dorrington goes down to Ched
worth to-day and I follow to-morrow."
"How long do yon remain?"
"Ten days, possibly a fortnight Now,
my dear Shirley, I am going to be rather
busy, and must bid good morning."
"I understand," he said, "and obey."
.......
Lady Dorrington had written a few
lines to her goddaughter, excusing her
self for not having called on or sent for
her. Time was too short, she said. It
was of the utmost importance to get
poor dear Mrs. Kuthven away to a totally
new scene, and among fresh faces.
Mrs. L'Estrange smiled as she read the
note.
"I fancy Clifford Marsden will be her
best comforter," she said.
"Do you know," returned Nora In a
wise, reflective tone, "I begin to doubt if
Clifford cares as much for her as I thought
he did."
"Do your said Mrs. L'Estrange. "1
never quite shared your opinion on that
subject though I think it likely enough
they will marry. Mark Winton was say
ing yesterday that there was an Idea at
one time among her late husband' broth
er officers that Mrs. Kuthven would marry
Captain Shirley. It is curious that he
should still be so much with her. When
man is rejected, communications are
B'iersJly jaroken oJJVl
"It li mere gossip, probably the re
port, I mean. Why should cot men and
women be dear friends and nothing
more?"
"I am sure I do not know; but you don't
often see it"
"As education and common sense in
crease, friendship between men and wom
en will, I suppose, be more frequent"
"Perhaps so," said Mrs. L'Estrange,
doubtfully. "Mr. Winton was talking of
'returning to India yesterday. His leave
of absence has not expired yet, but he
seems anxious to get back to his work.
He says he feels he is wasting his time
here, and that for a man of his disposi
tion, the only charm life possesses la
work."
"That la rather a dreary doctrine, is i,
not?"
"I told him to. He was very nice and
pleasant yesterday, but I fancied there
was an undertone of depression in all he
said."
"Why, Mr. Winton is the last man I
should suspect of sentimental melan
choly," cried Nora. "Perhaps he has lost
some money."
"I don't think you do Mark Winton jus
tice, Nora. I have known him since he
was a lad of seventeen, and, believe me,
he has a good, true heart"
"If you say so, I am quite willing to be
lieve it" then, breaking off suddenly, she
exclaimed t "Listen to this, Helen. The
enterprising manager of Drury Lane has
in preparation one of the moat brilliant
pantomimes ever presented to a London
audience. The scenic effects will be of
an original and extraordinary character,
and the ballet one of the most gorgeous
ever seen.' That is something for Beal
It will be such fun going with her! What
raptures she will be in! By the bye,
Helen, don't you think we can take in
Fraulein Shrader at Christmas time? She
is not happy at the school, and as she has
given notice she is going to leave, they
will be cross and disagreeable."
"Y'es, I have no doubt we can manage
It. Bea. too. might come to ns early in
December."
And the conversation turned on domes
tic matters.
Mrs. L'Estrange. who was far from
strong, had taken cold, and was easily
persuaded to keep indoors. The day bo
ng dry and crisp, Nora took their maid,
who had been In Mrs. L'Estrange's ser
vice ever since she was married, to bear
her company, and walked across the park
to inquire for Mrs. Kuthven and bid her
good-bye.
CHAPTER X.
When they reached the hotel Mrs. Ruth
en was out and Nora prolonged her
walk to Harvey A Nichols', where she
and her attendant spent a delightful hour,
and several pounds.
By the time she reached her temporarj
home, Nora felt refreshed and Invigorat
ed by air and exercise. The shades of
evening had begun to gather, and she
planned to herself that she wonld read
aloud to Helen after dinner, to atone for
her long absence.
The gas bad not been lit and going up
stairs in semi-darkness, she ran against
someone on the first landing.
"I beg your pardon," said Winton.
whose voice she instantly recognized, "li
is so dark."
"Yes, the evenings draw In to soor
now," she replied, with some confusion.
"I am glad to have an opportunity of
wishing you good-bye. I am going out of
town to-morrow for a few weeks; by the
time I come back, I shall have made up
my mind whether I shall return to India
at once or stay to the full extent of my
leave."
"Has the country so little attraction fot
you, Mr. Winton, that you are ready to
leave it?"
"Plenty of attraction; but I need not
trouble you with my reasons. Good-byi
for the present I hope to see you agait
before long, either here or at Brookdale."
He held her hand for a moment and
was gone.
Nora ascended slowly, thoughtfully, to
the drawing room, where she found Mrs.
L'Estrange leaning back in an easy chair,
her handkerchief to her eyes, beside a
bright fire.
"Why, Helen!" cried Nora, as she ad
vanced toward her. Mrs. L'Estrang
started and uncovered her face; the strong
light of the flames showed that she had
been and was weeping. "Dear Helen,
what is the matter?"
"Do not ask me now. I will tell yoi
all one day, but not now," said Mrs. L'Es
trange. HisLng, she came quickly toward
her stepdaughter, pressed her lips for aa
instant to Nora's cheek, and left the room.
"Good heavens!" ejaculated Nora tc
self, "she has refused him. But why?"
Overcome with surprise, she sat down, all
dressed as she was, to ponder this unex
pected outcome of their pleasant Intimacy
with Winton. lie, too, seemed depressed
and nnlike himself. Why why had Helen
rejected him? especially as she evidently
felt doing so very keenly.
Could it have been because she knew
that she and her little girl were unpro
vided for, and that she did not like belni
a burden on a husband? Winton wai
fairly well off. and not likely to let such
an obstacle stand In the way of his or hei
happiness. Could it be any hesitation
about leaving her (Nora) alone, with
some mere hired stranger for a compan
ion? No; Helen was too sensible for such
an overstrained sense of duty or friend
ship. Then, as she gazed Into the red
mass which glowed in the grate, memory
unrolled her long record of past benefit!
and generous acta. The quiet steady
kindliness, which had won her childisk
heart in spite of her natural prejudice
against a stepmother, the perpetual shield
he interposed between the irritable, ex
acting, tyrannical father and his daugh
ter. Now that Nora was a woman 4
thoughtful, observant woman how man
instances of her stepmother's patience,
her care for every one's comfort, her en
tire self-forgetfulness, came back to her
mind from dim, bygone days. Her own
vague wonder that Helen sover wanted
to go anywhere, never sought release from
the wearying attendance on her querulous,
auspicious. Invalid husband, her undefin
ed impression that somehow life was
over for her young stepmother that she
bad nothing left but endurance and kindly
thought for others. What would she her
self have been had she been reduced to
a single-handed struggle with such diffi
culties as existence would have present
ed itself without Helen? How much of
youth would she have enjoyed? How
much of education, of pleasure, or free
dom from the stunting effect of care too
heavy for her years? Tea! She aaw it
all clearly. Helen had been more than a
mother to her, for ehe bad no claim to
such tender, discriminating care. "And 11
I can repay her I will," thought Nora, her
heart glowing warm and strong. "Noth
ing shall stand between me and a woman
t0 Wfeflja X ftWt M. HNh, ThaaJ. QodJ
she is brighter and stronger now than I
ever remember her. I do hope Bea will
grow up a tender, loving daughter! She
has a dash of my father's temper! But
why why did Helen send Mark Winton
away? I can fancy their whole story
growing into love with each other, almost
from their school days then his going
away to seek his fortune, some misun
derstanding separating them probably.
Helen, left a penniless orphan, with no
hone in the future, tempted by a chance
of a settled home with my father. It is
a and enough story, and I suppose a com
mon one. Well, she shall have peace
now, if I can secure it But why did
she send Mark Winton away? I am sure
she did; I must not ask her; I must not
seem intrusive. Will she ever tell me?"
That evening Nora was more than usu
ally kind and cheerful; she Insisted on
Mrs. L'Estrange lying down where het
eyes were shaded from the light and she
read aloud from a picturesque book of
travels.
When bedtime came and they partes
for the night Mrs, L'Estrange put her arm
round Nora, and kissing her gently, said:
"Yon are a good girl, dear daughter, ot
I should say younger sister, to me; you
reade my life happier than I ever expected
It to be." She went quickly upstairs,
leaving Nora touched and surprised, fot
neither was a demonstrative woman and
rarely exchanged caresses.
The days went by, however, and Mrs.
L'Estrange did not show any inclination
to tell Nora the story she had promised;
still, her stepdaughter waited with loyally
suppressed curiosity, and tidings reached
them that Winton had gone as far at
Florence with some Indian friends out
ward bound to Bombay, and had passed
through London without calling to see
'.hem.
Meantime Lady Dorrington flattered
herself that her plana were maturing suc
cessfully. The day after Mrs. Kuthven
had been Installed hi the principal guest
chamber at Chedworth, Marsden arrived
from town, and made himself charmingly
agreeable to every one, especially to Mrs.
Kuthven. The pretty little widow visibly
revived after his arrival and lost some
thing of the pained, strained look in hei
eyes, which bad given Lady Dorrington
such uneasiness.
"You ought to get out more, my deat
Mrs. Ruthven," she said, as that lady was
bidding her hostess good night "There
are lots of pretty drives about and I have
a capital pair of ponies."
"To say nothing of an excellent char
ioteer, in the shape of an unworthy broth
er. Pray, allow me to show you the neigh
borhood. 1 am duly qualified for the task
of cicerone," said Marsden.
"Thank you," and Mrs. Kuthven raised
her eyes to his with a long, searching
look. "If you really don't mind losing a
day's hunting! It is a tremendous sacri
fice!" "Sacrifice!" cried Marsden, laughing.
"If sacrifice and penance always took
such a form, what a penitent I'd be
Then, if fine, we will take our first tout
of inspection immediately after luncheon."
The weather was all that could be de
sired, more like late September than early
November, and the excursion was so suc
cessful that another was arranged for th
following day.

Cooking In the Gutter.
A member of the Seventh Regiment
according to on article In the New
York Sun, la enthusiastic over his ex
perences with a tin dish and a camp
fire during the late street car riots in
Brooklyn. He baa been noted In bis
otd circle for his delicate taste In the
matter of cookery, and his skill with
the chafing-dish. He not only knew
when a thing was cooked exactly right
bat he could cook it Just right himself,
only he was so excessively fastidious
that he must have Just such a dish in
which to do it
Now be was left to shift for himself
In the street with nothing but a tin
dish as a cooking utensil. "Fortunate

a few experiments and found the re

"The value of a wood fire had neve,

ed It while I was doing my other cook
ing. "The doings of some of the men were
laughable. They had less Idea of cook
ery than the average servant They
would Insist upon building a fire with
the flames reaching heavenward, and
then they wondered why their food
was burned on one side and raw on the
other. One fellow who wanted ham
and eggs put the eggs In, shells and
alL A beautiful mess!
"As for myself, I will stand up herb
after for the regimental tin dish, and
a wood fire with a cobble-stone founda
tion. I lived like a prince; and the
next time my appetite Is spoiled by the
atrocities of French cooks, I am going
to pitch my tent in the back yard, and
win back my digestion with the sort
of cookery I have been enjoying for a
week."

The Care of Farming Toola.
Foreigners who have traveled throngs
:he United States have always been
struck by the carelessness of our farm,
ers In regard to their machinery. No
other farmers In the world make such
general nse of the devices for saving
toll produced by modern invention, and
nowhere else are such Implements sr
neglected when not in actual use.
Too often a farmer who buys a val
uable machine leaves It standing out
of doors, exposed to all the vicissitudes
of the weather until he has occasion
to use It again the following year. Then
when he examines It he finds It serious
ly out of repair, and he suffers delay
whjle It Is being put Into good condi
tion. Sometimes the damage Is so
great that he Is persuaded to trade the
machine off for a new one, paying
Urge sum "to boot"
One good effect of the hard times bat
deen the development of greater care
In this respect among our agricultural
population. People who have traveled
extensively through the Southern and
Western States during the last winter

REV. DR. THL1GL
The Brooklyn Divine's Sunday
Sermon.
Subject: "Plain People.'
Tixt: "Salute Asynoritus. Phlegon, ller
nss, Patrobas, Hermes, Philologus and
Julia." Romans xvL, 14, 15.
Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes, Adam
Clark, Thomas Soott and all the commenta
tors pass by these verses without any especial
remark. The othertwenty people mentioned
In the chapter were distinguished for some
thing and were therefore discussed by tha
illustrious expositors, but nothing Is said
about Asyncrltus, Phlegon, Hwmas, Patro
bas, Hermes, Philologus and Jultn. Where
were they born? No one knows. Where did
theydie? There is no record of their decease.
Tor what were they distinguished? Abso
lutely for nothing, or the trait ot character
wou'd have been brought out by the aeostle.
If they had been very intrepid or opulent or
hirsute or musical of cadence or erass ol
style or in anywise anomalous, that feature
would have btwn caught by the apostolic
camera. But they were good people, because
Paul sent to them his high Christian regards.
They were ordinary people, moving In ordi
nary sphere, attending to ordinary duty and
meeting ordinary responsibilities.
What the world wants is a religion foi
ordlnarv people. If there be in the United
States 65,000.00 ) people, there are certainly
not more than 1,000,000 extraordinary, and
then there are 64,MK),0M ordinary, and we do
well to turn our backs for a little while upon
the distinguished and conspicuous people of
the Bible and consider la our text the seven
ordinary. We spend too much of our time
In twisting garlands for remarkables and
building thrones for magnates and sculptur
ing warriors and apotheosizing philanth
ropists. The rank and file of the Lord'i
soldiery need especial help.
The vast majority of people to whom thU
sermon comes will never lea-i an army, will
never write a State constitution, will never
electrify a Senate, will never make an imi
portant invention, will never Introduce
a new philosophy, will never decide
the fate of a Nation. You do not ex
pect to; you do not want to. You will not
be a Hoses to lea-1 a Nation ont of bondage.
You will not be a Joshua to prolong the day
light until you can shut five kings In a oav4
era. You will not be a St John to unroll ad
apocalypse. You will not be a Paul to pre4
side over an apostolic college. You will not
be a Mary to mother a Christ You will more
probably be Asyncrltus or Phlegon or Her
man or Patrobas or Hermes or Philologus oi
Julia.
Many of you are women at the head o.
households. This morning you launched the
family for Sabbath observance. Your brain
decided the apparel, and your judgment was
final on all questions of personal attire.
Every morning you plan for the day. The
cultuary dopartment of your household is In
your dominion. You decide all questions of
diet All tho sanitary regulations ot your
house are under your supervision. To regu
late the food, and the apparel, and the habits
and decide the thousand questions of home
life is a tax upon your brain and nerve and
general health absolutely appalling if there
be no divine alleviation.
It does not help you much to be told that
Elizabeth Fry did wonderful things mid the
criminals of Newgate, it does not help you
much to be told that Mrs. Judson was very
brave among the Bornesian cannibals. It
does not help you much to be told that Flor
ence Nightingale was very kind to the
wounded in the Crimea. It would be better
for me to tell you that the Divine Friend of
Mary and Martha Is your friend, and that He
sees all the annoyanoes and disappointments
and abrasions and exasperations of an ordin
ary housekeeper from morn till night,
and from the first day of the year to the last
day of the year and at your call He is ready
with aelp and re-enforcements.
They who provide the food of the world
decide the health of the world. One of the
greatest battles of this century was lost be
cause the commander that morning had a fit
of indigestion. You have only to go on some
errand amid the taverns and the hotels of
United States and Great Britain to appre
ciate the fact that a vast multitude of the
human race are slaughtered by Incompetent
cookery. Though a young woma a may have
taken lessons in music and may have taken
lessons in painting and lessons in astronomy,
she is not well educated unless she has taken
lessons in dough. They who deoide the ap
parel of the world and the food of the world
decide the endurance ot the world.
An unthinking man may consider it a mat
ter of little Importance the cares of the
household and t he economies of domestic life
but I tell you the earth is strewn with the
martyrs of kitchen aud nursery. The health
shattered womanhood of America cries out
for a God who can help ordinary women in
the ordinary duties of housekeeping. The
wearing, grinding,, unappreciated work goes
on, but the same Christ who stood on the
bank of Galilee In the early morning and
kindled the tire and had the fish already
cleaned and broiling when the sportsmen
stepped ashore, chilled and hungry, will help
every woman to prepare breakfast, whether
by her own hand or the hand of her hired
help.
The God who ma le Indestructible eulogt
ot Hannah, who made a coat for Samuel,
herson, and carried it to the temple every
year, will help every woman In preparing the
family wardrobe. The God who opens the
Bible with the story of Abraham's entertain
ment of thethree angels on the plains ot
Hamre will help every woman to provide
hospitality, however rare and embarrassing.
It is high time that some of the attention wa
have been giving to the remarkable women
of the Bible remarkable for their virtue or
want of it or remarkable for their deeds
Deborah and Jezebel and Herodia and Atha
liah and Dorcas and the Marys, excellent and
abandoned it la high time some of the at
tention we have been giving to these con
spicuous women of the Bible be given to
Julia of the text, an ordinary woman amid
ordinary circumstances, attending to ordi
nary duties and meeting ordinary responsi
bilities. Then there are the ordinary business men.
They need divine and Chrlstrian, help.
When we begin to talk about business life,
we shoot right off and talk about men who
did business on a large scale, and who sold
millions of dollars of goods a year, but the
vast majority of business men do not sell a
million dollars of goods, nor half a million,
nor a quarter of a million, nor the eighth
part of a million. Put all the business men
of our cities, towns, villages and neighbor
hoods side by side, and you will find that
they sell less than 190,000 worth of goods.
All these men In ordinary business life want
divine help. You see how the wrinkles are
printing on the countenance the story ol
woniment and care. You cannot tell how
old a business man is by looking at him.
Gray hairs at thirty. A man at forty-five
with the stoop of a nonogenarlan. No time
to attend to Improved dentistry, the grinders
oease because they are few. Actually dying
of old age at forty or fifty when they ought
to be at the meridian. ' '
Many of these business men have bodies
like a neglected clock to which yon come,
and you wind it up, and it begins to buzi
and roar, and then the hands start around
very rapidly, and then the dock strikes Ave
or ten, or forty, and strikes without any
sense, and then suddenly stops. So Is the
body ot that wornout business man. It is a
neglected clock, and though by some sum
mer recreation it may be wound up, still tha
machinery Is all out of gear. The hands turn
around with a velocity that excites the as
tonishment ot the world. Men cannot un
derstand the wonderful activity, and then
is a roar, and a buss, and a rattle about these
disordered lives, and they strike ten when
they ought tc strike five, and they strike
twelve when they ought to strike six, and
they strike forty when they ought to strike
nothtnir. and anddenlv thev ston. Post
I mortem examination reveal the fact that all
the springs and pivots and weights and ll
anoa wheels of health are completely da.
ranged. The human clock has simply m
down. And at tho time when tha stead
band ought to be pointing to the Indtutrtoui
hours on a clear and sunlit dial the whok
machinery of body, mind and earthly capac
ity stops forever. The cemeteries have thou
sands ot business men who died of old agf
at thirty, thirty-five, forty, lorty-nve.

ordinary business men need is to realize that
they have the friendship of that Christ who

Lydta of Thyartra to sell the dry goods, and
who opened a bakery and fish market in the

Then there are all the ordinary farmers.
SVe talk about agricultural life, and we im
nediately shoot off to talk about Cinoln
aatus, the patrician, who went from the plow
to a high position, and after he got through
the dictatorship In twenty-one days went
back again to the plow. What encourage
ment Is that to ordinary fanners? The vast
majority of them, noue of them, will be pa
tricians. Perhaps none of them will be Sen
ators. If any of them have dictatorships, it
will be over forty or fifty or 100 acres of tha
old homestead. What those men want is
grace to keep their patience while plow
ing with balky oxen and to keep cheerful
amid the drought that destroys the corn crop
aud that enables them to restore the garden
the day after the neighbor's cattle have
broken in and trampled out the strawberry
bed and gone through the lima bean patch
and eaten up the sweet corn in such large
quantities that thev must be kept from the
water lest they swell up and die; grace In
catching weather that enables them without
Imprecation to spread out the hay the third
time, although again and again and again It
has been almost ready for the mow; a grace
to doctor the cow with a hollow born, and
the sheep with the footrot, and the horse
with the distemper, and to compel the un
willing acres to yield a livelihood for the
family, and schooling for the children, and
little extras to help the older boy In business,
and something for the daughter's wedding
outfit, and a little surplus for the time when
the ankles will get stiff with age and the

What they want Is to know that they have
the friendship of that Christ who often drew
His similes from the farmer's life, as when
He said, "A sower went forth to sow," as
when He built His best parable out of the
scene of a farmer's boy coining back from
his wanderlngs.nnd the old farmhouseshook

Those stonemasons do not want to hear
about Christopher Wren, the architect, who

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
low the General Government and the
State Are Fostering It.
The status of agricultural education in the
United States is given an extended review to
:he year book of the Agricultural Depart
ment. It shows there are sixty-five lnstitu
lions in operation under the provisions of
the acts of July 2, 18G2, and August So, 18U0.
Sixty of those maintain courses In agricul
ture. In fourteen States separate Institu
tions are provided for white and colored
rtudents. Special courses in dairying nnl
other agricultural Industries have beeu re
Oently established at a few of the colleges.
The value of additions to tne equipment oi
these Institutions during 18it4 is estimated at
(1,415,495. Agricultural experiment stationt
are now in operation in all the States and
Territories. Sub-stations have been estab
lished In several States. Exclusive of these
the total number of stations is llfty-llve, ol
which flfty-one receive the appropriations
provided for by law. The total income of
the stations during 18'J4 was 9!6,157, of
which 4719,830 came from the Government
and the remaiueer from States and individ
uals. The station bulletins are now regu
