Canfield Copyright. 1906. by Harriot C». Canfield =o "Jack, dear, wasn't it awful?" she whispered.* "Why, no. Hetli! I rather liked it." " 'Liked it!" My bat is full of rice tn>l your shoulders are simply covered with it. The publicity of it. Jack! If they'd only let us slip off quietly! Xow every oue will know that we're just married. You mustn't pay any atten tion to me! You must read your paper, and then"— " 'And then?" " smiling wlfimsically. "Why, then .you must go into the smoking car, dear." When Jack abandoned his paper for a cigar the old lady behind Beth leaned forward. "Excuse me," she said, "but are you going far?" "Yes, a long distance." Then the kind old face won her confidence, and she added volubly : "My husband has a farm out west. We are going there now. bnt we Intend to stop nt several places on the way." "I was thinking," the old lady said, "of the many bridal couples that have passed over this road. How many of them, I wonder, are as happy now as they dreamt they'd be?" "Oh, many, I hope," said the little bride wistfully. "Don't you think so?" "It all depends. Of course the honey moon can't last forever. A man may love his wife l>etter every day—he prob ably does —but he forgets to tell her so, and a woman's heart i.-i a curious thing. She can't live on faith and apple dump lings." Then she added, "My dear, if your husband ever forgets to show you any of the little signs of affection I want you to remember that he loves you just the same and believes in your love for him, but, being a man, he Isn't continually looking for a sign." "Thank you," Beth whispered grate fully, "and 111 remember." The old lady left the car at the nest station, and Jack returned. In less than two months Beth was the established mistress of the farm house, though Jack's Aunt Mehitabel, who had ruled there so long, was loath to relinquish her scepter. In Aunt Hitty's presence Bet It's spir its were strangely sulMlucd. Even the Swedish girl in the kitchen felt the de p«esslng influence and hummed a dirge whenever Aunt IJitty entered her domain. The weeks went by, and the little wife's happiness was seriously in dan ger. Her nature was an active one, but Jack's aunt opposed her every effort to be useful. When nlone with her husband Beth was happy; their honey moon had not waned. She longed to tell the kind old lady so. But Jack could not often be with her. The farm work demanded his attention. Once, when she supposed Aunt Hitty was taking her afternoon nap, Beth gave way to her feelings, and, burying her face in Jack's old coat, she cried as If her heart would break. That evening, as sh<- sat on the wide porch, waiting for Jack to Join her, she overheard Aunt Hitty talking to him. "She is so utterly Incompetent," Aunt Hitty was saying, "and so child ish! This afternoon I heard her cry ing—actually crying! I often wonder why you married her, John." "Because I loved her—that Is suf ficient, I think," Jack answered. "Poor little Kill— crying, was she?" Then lie came out and found Beth, standing white and still in the moon light. "This is a lonesome place, isn't it, dear?" he said, very gently. "I think it would do you good to return Mrs. Lennox's call tomorrow. It will cheer her up, and Tom too." Mrs. Lennox and son seemed glad to see them and insisted upon keeping Beth until after tea "You needn't come for her, Mr. Bradley," Tom's mother sai<l. "My son will take her home." Tills was the beginning of the great Intimacy between the two families. Jack was very busy on the farm, but young Lennox had more time at his disposal. lie frequently drove over for Beth and brought her home In the mooulight. Jack rejoiced in their friendship and had 110 thought of Jeal ousy until Aunt Ilitty said: "Beth is never happy unless she Is with Mr. Lennox. I'm sure it doesn't look well for licr to ride with him as often as she does." Jack laughed at the idea, but it'tame again and again until he imagined that Beth shrank from his caresses, and he resolved not to annoy her in the future. Ills wife felt that the honeymoon was waning at last and bravely tried to follow the old lady's advice and believe that Jack still loved her. By and by the grain rose and fell in [olden waves and the sun beat pitiless ly down on the tired men tolling In the harvest fields. In the midst of it all Jack succumbed to the heat and had to be helped to the house. Aunt nitty took immediate possession of him and prescribed rest in a darkened room, lie slept heavily for some time, and when he opened his eyes Beth was bending over him. "Jack, dear," she said ; "is there noth ing I can do for you?" ".Nothing," he answered stiffly. "I Jiall be all right In a day or two. All (lint worries me is the wheqf. It's sure to rain before long, and there's no one to take my place in the field. Tom Lennox can't spare one of his men, and I wouldn't ask him to." Betli waited until his tired eyes clos ed again and then stole from the room. An hour later Mrs. Lecnox welcomed her In astonishment. "What brought you out In this fear ful heat?' she asked. Beth told of Jack's fiurtden illness end the Kreat. need of help. "And now," she said, "I want to hire out to Jack, and I want you to help me." "You want to 'hire out!'" Mi*. Len nox gasped. "What do you • mean, child?" "I know there's not much I can do," she said huoibly, "but 1 found some boy's clothes hanging in the wash house, and If you will help me take them up a little I'm sure we can make them fit. Don't say you won't help me, for there's nothing I can do for Jack if I stay a home." And in spite at Mrs. Lennox's objections Belli won her consent. After dinner, while Aunt Hltty rest ed, grudgingly resigning her patient to his wife's tender mercies, a mes senger came with a note for Beth, urging her immediate presence at the Lennox farm. "Come prepared to stay two days," Mrs. I.euin'x hid written. She read it aloud to Jack. "I suppose you want to go?" he asked. "Oh. -*> much, dear!" "Very well. But if 1 were in jour place, lSeth," he said dryly, "I'd drox» tlio 'dear.' It doesn't sound well under the circumstances.' I'.eth's lips quivered, but she tried to sruiie. "Perhaps it does sound silly, now that our honeymoon's over," she said bravely, and then hurried from the rdorn. " 'Over.' she said. Yes, it is over," he murmured feebly and turned his face to the wall. In the middle of the afternoon one of the hired men came to the house and asked to see Mr. Bradley. "There's a kid here," he said, "that wants to hire out." " Where does he come from?" Jack asked in surprise. "From some place beyond Lennox's, I guess. He says he wants to sleep an" eat home, so it can't be fur off. Shall I tell him he can stay, sir?" "I am only too glad to get him," Jack replied. When the men left the field at sup- I»er time the ne*r hand was very tired. "He seemed likely to drop before he got home," they told Jack. "Poor little chap," said one of them. "He ain't used to workin' so hard. If the rain holds off a day longer, sir, we'll get the wheat all cut." The rain did hold off until evening of the next day, and the wheat was cut and shocked, when one of the men came running to the house for help. "The little chap is down there in the field, with Jim—sick," he said. "Shall I hitch up and take him home?" "No," Jack said. "Bring tflm up here. It will rain before you could get start ed." There was something strangely fa miliar in»the pathetic little figure they laid so carefully on the bed. "If we can do anything for him, jest call us." Jim said. Jack stooped and untied the big straw hat from the boyish bead; then his face grew white, for Beth's soft, brown hair, released from bondage, streamed over the pillow, and Beth's blue eyes gazed into his. without the faintest sign of recognition. "Belli," he cried, "my little Beth!" The restless head turned on the pil low, and the pale lips murmured: "Say you'll help me, Mrs. Lennox. I want to help Jaek!" Kneeling beside her. Jack kissed the little hands and sobbed aloud. Then the voice went on. with many pauses: "Yes, the honeymoon is over, but Jack loves me just the same. Sometimes— I wish—he'd tell me so—Just once more." Aunt Ilitty had entered the room unnoticed. She started now, at the sound of her own name. Beth was living It over—all the weariness and heartache. "Aunt Ilitty," she wailed, "I've tried so hard to please her—so hard; she doesn't love me—she never will!" The tears rained down Aunt Hltty's face. "I didn't know," she said, "I never realized!" All that night she watched with Jack beside Beth's bed, while the rain beat against the win dows, and the wind moaned through the trees. But when djiy dawned, all was still; the sunlight touched Beth's face and wakened her. Her eyes sought Jack's inquiringly, then rested there, In sweet content. "I dreamed," she said, while he held her tenderly In his strong arms, "I dreamed that our honeymoon was just beginning." And Jack said reverently, "Please God, it is." (•tiljcllnl. Guigliui, the great tenor, was once playing Pollio to Mme. Titlen's Norma. In one scene the Druid priestess sum mons an assembly together by the sound of a gong to decide on the pun ishment to be inflicted on a guilty per son unnamed. Tltien struck the gong with such force that In throwing back the drumstick she caught Guigliui on the nose and made It bleed. The singer was furious. He swore that he would never play in "Norma" again and In sisted that the offending drumstick should be solemnly locked up. Tho opera was so popular that It was neces sary to give it sometimes, but the tenor would not hear of appearing in it. Consequently Signor Corsi was an nounced to sing in his place. The house was very full, and the opera went splendidly until the time came for Pol io's entrance. No Pollio appeared. The disturbed manager flew to Gul glini's dressing room and found him hastily putting on Corel's dress In a great hurry to come In for the ap plause he heard coming from the front. The audience was so delighted when he came on at last that It willingly for gave the delay. Tltien struck the gong with her hand Instead of the drum stick, and the opera ended maguifl cently. The Origin of Grocer. Grocer appears in llolinshed'H fhron iele, 1580, as "grosser," and in other mediaeval records It Is sometimes written "engrosser," uiul was applied to tho splccrs and pepperers who were wholesale dealers In various spices— that Is, who dealt en gros In large quantities, as distinguished from "re grators," who were retail dealers. The Grocers' company first adopted the word grocer In 1873, when the spleers and pepperers allied themselves Into a single corporation. I.ondon Kxpress. Hart Writer Willi « Good Memory. Harvey Waters, an expert on patent cases, had occasion to write Rufus f'hoate on some Important question, ami when he received Ihe reply was unable to read a word of It, so took the missive to Mr. Choate and asked him what he hail written.

THE SACRED BO TREE, ' fine of the Mont Wonderful Jfnlnral Gronlb» liver Knonn. Iu October, IKB7, the sacred bo tree, that time supposed'to be the oldest living vegetable monument on the earth's ( surfaee, was uprooted and de stroyed by a cyclone which swept over the Island of Ceylon. Tlio oldest writ ten description of the sucred bo tree now In existence Is that by the cele brated Chinese historian, Fa lllan, who visited tho IHIHIKI and the sacred tree In the year 411 A. L>. Aeotrillng to this learned Chinaman, the tree was at that time 702 years old, having been planted In the year 28H before our era by King lM»vinlplatlssa. As soon us It was known through out the island tliat the tree had been destroyed by thu fury of the elements great crowds of mourners gathered around Its ''sacred remains" and held regular funeral services for two or three weeks. After the season of mourning was over the tree was cut Into proper lengths, each piece wrapped separately in white cloth and cremated with the san e fuuera! rites which would have becu given n mem ber of the roynl family. Ho perished the sacred bo tree, one of the most wonderful natural growths known to the world—a tree which had been worshiped dally, one might al most say hourly, for 2,173 years. ARCHERY AS A SPORT THE IMPLEMENTS THAT ARE USED IN THIS ANCIENT PASTIME. Besides Rovr nnd Arrow* Are m Quiver, roacli. Ilelt, Tuaul nnd Grenne I'ot, Arm (auanl. Glove, Tar get nnd Score Card—The Rule*. Tlie implements used in archery as a pastime are a bow. arrows, a quiver, a pouch, a belt, a tassel and pre iso pot, an arm guard, a shooting glove, a tar get and a scoring cartl. Tlie bow is usually from five to si\ feet in length, the strength being reck oned by pounds, varying from twenty five to eighty, those used by gentlemen lieing in strength fri>in tifty to eighty pounds, those for ladies from twenty five to forty. Tlie former are made of a single piece of yew or ash, the latter of laneewood or hickory, glued back la back. In forming the bow the wood is grad ually tapered, and at each end is a tip of horn, the one at the upper end be ing longer than the lower end, and one side of the bow is flat, called the "back," the other being rounded and called the "belly." Near the center, whero the bow is held, it M bound with velvet, which part Is called the "han dle," and in each tip of horn is a notch for the string to rest in, eailed the "nook." The string of the bow is manufac tured" of hemp or flax. The hemp strings wear the longest, though they stretch more at first, but, being more clastic, bear a harder pull. When it is necessary to fix a fresh string to the bow care must be taken not to break the composition The tie should be cut, the eye worked at one end, held, the other part allowed to hasg down and the eye passed over the upper end of the bow. If for a lady It may be held from two to two and a half inches l>elow the nock; If for a gentleman, half an inch lower, varying it according to the length und strength of the bow. Tlie hand Is then passed along the side of the bow nnd string to the bottom nock, round which the string is turned and fixed by the noose. When strung a lady's bow will have the string about five and a half inches from the belly of the bow. a gentle man's about half an inch more. The part of the string opposite the handle Is bound round with waxed silk in order to prevent its being frayed by the arrow, which is sent from that point. As soon as a str(jig becomes too soft and the fibers too straight it must be rubbed with beeswax and a few turns given to it to shorten it and twist its strands a little tighter. A spare string should always bo provided. Arrows are variously formed, some being of uniform thickness through out, others thicker' In the center or larger at the point than at the feather end, tlie last shape being considered the l>est form for shooting. Arrows are made of white pine, having at one end polnE*"of iron or brass firmly fixed and usually a piece of heavy wood spliced on to the pine between it aud the point, by which their (light Is Im proved. At the other end a piece of horn Is Inserted, In which is a notch for tht! string, and they are armed with three feathers, one of which is of a dif ferent color from the others and is in tended to mark tlie proper position of the arrow when placed on the string, this one always pointing from the bow. To string the bow take It. by the handle In the light hand and place the bottom end upon the ground, resting against the hollow of the inside of the right foot, keeping the Hat side of the bow (called the back) toward you. The left foot should be advanced u lit tle to tho right, so placed that the bow cannot slip sideways. Place the heel of the left hand upon the upper limb of the bow, below the eye of the string. Now, while the fingers and thumb of ttie left band slide this eye.toward the notch In the horn and the heel pushes the limb away from the body, the right hand pulls the handle toward you, thus resisting tho action of the left, by which the bow Is bent, and at the same time the string is slipped Into the nock, as the notch Is termed. Care must be taken to keep the three outer fingers free from the string, for If the bow should slip from the hand and the string catch them they will be severely pinched. If the bow has been lying by for some time It should be well rubbed with linseed oil before using It. To unstring the bow hold It as in string ing; then press down the upper limb exactly as before aud as if you wished to place the eye of tlie string la a higher notch. This will loosen tlie itring and liberate the eye, when It must be lifted out of the nock by the forefinger and suffered to slip down the limb. Before using the bow hold it in a perpendicular direction with the string toward you and see If the line of the string cuts tin; middle of the bow. If not, shift the eye aud noose uf the string to either side so as to make the two lines coincide. This precaution prevents a very common cause of defective shooting, which is the result of an uneven string throw ing the arrow aside. After using the how unstrfng If, and. If a large party Is shooting, after every "end" It should freed from Its statu «>f tension. >ut in this respect there Is a great dif ference In different bows, some gooil ones soon getting cast from their true shape and others, though inferior bows In other respects, bearing any ordinary amount of tension without damage. Two points must be attended to when taking aim—the lateral direction aud the distance since there Is no bow which will drive an urrow many yards pqrfectly point blank, and consequently a slight elevation must in all cases be made, und for long distance! with weak bows a very considerable eleva tion that Is, the bow must be raised, above the point aimed at. The arrow cannot be shot straight at an object because It will, of course, be subject to the earth! attraction, and If shot straight at a mark will fall below It, and It therefore require* practice to manage the elevatlou properly, and inu'li will depend on the exact strength of tlie bow and the distance of the shot. The lateral direction that is, the side to which tlie bow should be directed— depends greatly on the wind. If there is any, as the arrow is materially uf fected by tin- wind. Should It blow from the right hand the bow must In cline toward It; to the left, if from tho left. The distance to which an arrow can be shot from u long bow, with an ele vation of 15 degrees, depends on the strength and ability of the urcber. The di-tan- e us«*d to be reckoned from 220 to 210 yards. The Turks have al ways been celebrated for shooting to Ion;: distai,. • i, ai.d the sc« rctary to the Turkish ambassador In I-oudon shot. In 1 TIM, a distance of -II.". yards. He used a Turkish bow and arrow and shot against the wind. With the wind, tho distance measured 482 yards. The I eyes should not be fixed on the arrow, but at the mark. Keep both eyes open j and look steadily forward, and raise 1 or lower the bow in the proper direc tion. The targets are fixed opposite | each other at about sixty jards apart. | The arrows are shot first to one tar ! get. when the archers pick up or ex- I tract tlie arrows, and the marker scores for each before drawing from I the target, ufter which the archers ! shoot back again to the Other end. and ' so on until the whole number of ends j have been shot. Butts are also used to shoot at. being built of long mounds of turf about eight feet long and five wide, height of seven feet, the depth diminishing gradually from the bot tom to the top. When more than two are used, they are ranged in sets, each set consist ing of four, about thirty yards apart, and forming a chain of lengths of 30. tiO, DO and 120 yards, but so dis posed as not to stand in the way of the archers when shooting at any of the lengths. Where archers rove from place to place and have no fixed target, it is called "rovings." The archers shoot at trees or any other object that they choose. The winner of the first shot chooses the next, and so on, the distance being from 100 to 200 yards, and all arrows falling with in five bows' length scoring, if near er to the mark than the adver sary's arrow. The dress worn at arch ery* meetings is very pretty and be coming. For ladies, green jackets and hats, with three plumed feathers, and for gentlemen, dark green, with green hat and feather, but this entirely de pends upon the taste and inclination of the clubs.—New York Herald. Wortli'a Pnnaoea. In the year 1884 great commercial distress was experienced throughout France, and M. Worth, the famous fashion originator and dressmaker, was called before a parliamentary com mittee instituted to inquire into the causes and asked for his theory and his remedy. The salaries of the presi dent of the republic and the ministers, said "the great man milliner, ought to be considerably raised because balls cost much more than dinners, and of ficial people ought to be paid salaries handsome enough to enable them to give a great many balls. M. Grevy, said Worth in disgust, only gave two balls a year, and the crush was so great that ladles elected to wear their old drosses rather than buy new ones, which would most assuredly be spoiled in the crowd, l'ay higher salaries, give more balls and ask fewer guests to each function—this was Worth's rem edy. The ladles, relieved of the fear of a crush, would invest in new dsesses, money would circulate, trade would revive and all would go as merrily as marriage bells. The Ancient Spontoon. A spontoon, a weapon similar to the halbert, was borne instead of a half pike by officers of British Infantry till the year 178tJ. Pointed backward or forward, it gave the signal for advance or retreat, and planted upright in the ground It commanded a halt. Speci mens can be seen In the Tower armory. In the Morning Chronicle of April 15, 1780, there is a reference to Its dis continuance: "Yesterday the officers who mounted guard for St. James', the Queen's House and Tilt yard were paraded with their swords drawn In stead of the spontoou for the first time since the alteration took place, and we hear that tlie amendment (if it may be so called) is to take place among all the regiments Itelongiiig to his majes ty."

H CULTIVATING CORN. I Prompt Lac of the Weeder m Biff Point In Con Urowlnf. I Tho chief purpose of cultivating com, jfl with most farmers, is to kill weeds. JH Yet a very Important object may be I|M to warm and dry the soil, or, on the contrary, to stop evaporation and sayo j H the moisture for the corn. The best *|H time to kill weeds Is as soon as they 1H htive sprouted and before they comb j I up. At this time the ground will often n I seem filled with the fine threadlike 1 1 rootlets, and If thoy are stirred and jl brought to the surface they will soon j ■ die. This can be most easily done by , I use of harrow or weeder. I The cornfield should bo gone over ■ with weeder three or four days after I planting and at about the same Inter- 1 I val thereafter. There Is a temptation | I to let It go until the weeds b«An to I show and tho field looks green. This I* I a mistake, for after the weeds begin ■ to show the weeder will not do nearly ■ so good work. If the use of the jreea- | I er Is well followed up the weeds may I be kept down with it alone at a great I saving, for It will cover twice the Space i I and In half tho time, saving three- I fourtlis of the tlmo required I cultivator. I A great mistake Is often made at this I point In neglecting the corn to plo*. I and plant more ground, when eftfe I the actual yield would be greater 1* I the time and work were given tQ the ai crop already planted. Neglect Of the 1 1 corn leads to loss in the crop that Is I not counterbalanced by the gain on I the addltlonul area planted. I Sometimes it is necessary to CUltl- j I vate corn while It Is wet for the pur pose of drying tho soil and, by expos- j Ing It to the air, warming it This can bo done in cloudy weather. The ground should not be worked deep and should be ridged as much as possible. Then, if stirred at tho right time again, the work will be fouud a great benefit.— Ohio Farmer.
