RILEY'S LUCK.
Biley was a lazy fellow,
Nover worked a bit.
All day long In some store corner
On a chair he'd sit.
Never talked much—too much trouble-
Tired his jaws, you see.
All of us were making money;
"Jest my luck!" says ho.
Some one offered him ten dollars
If he'd work two days;
Biley crossed his legs and looked up
At the sun's hot rays.
Then he leaned back in the shadow,
Sadley shook his head ;
. "Never asked me till hot weather;
Jest my luck!" he said.
Biley courted Sally Hopkins
In his lazy way;
When lie saw Jim Dodson kiss her
"Jest my luck!" he'd say.
Leap year came, and Mandy Perkins
Sought his company;
Biley sighed, and married Maudy;
"Jest my luck!" says he.
Kilcy took his wife out Ashing
In a little boat,
Storm blew up and turned thom over;
Maudy wouldn't float.
Bilev sprang into the river,
Seized her by the hair.
Swam a mile unto the shore, where
Friends pulled out the pair.
Mandy was so full of water
Seemed she'd surely die:
Doctors worked with her two hours
'Ere she moved an eye.
They told Hi ley she was better;
Doctors were in glee;
Biley chewed an old pine splinter;
"Jest my luck!" says he.

"Every marriage is hazardous, but
I can conceive of no greater risk than
was taken by that same handsome,
mild-mannered woman."
Judge Watson was speaking of a
smiling, elegantly-dressed lady, whom
he had just bowed out of his office,
and to her carriage.
"She doesn't look to me like one
who had gone through many severe
trials in life."
"I am thinking of the chance she
took, and what might have been. The
etory is worth listening to, although,
2>erhaps, I will tell it badly."
"Let's have it, by all means," I
said.
"Very well," answered the Judge;
"take a cigar, and while we are smok
ing, I will try to tell you the story."
; "The lady who just left has a twin
sister who is now abroad. When they
were girls together it was impossible
to tell them apart, and when they
grew to young womanhood they wero
'literally as much alike as two peas,
and their mother was the only one
aside from themselves that could tell
which was which, when they were
abroad in the same attire. They used
to play jokes on the young men, for,
being so much alike, this was easy to
do. They were pretty girls, and had
scores of young beaux, ready and
willing to have all sorts of pranks
played upon them, for just the sake
of their companion.
"Howard Gleason was especially
etteutive to Maud, and he admits that
he sometimes made the mistake of
embracing the wrong sister when he
to meet her suddenly in a
poor light.
; "The father, old Mr. Wardlow, was
Tioli and proud, aud only knew that
(Howftrd Gleason was courting one of
Ms daughters. Now, Howard was not
•blessed with this world's goods, and
Eld man Wardlow was ambitious for
is daughters; so he very promptly
iissned an ultimatum. The young
man could have neither of the daugh
ters, until he hail made a fortune, or
at any rate, not until he had laid the
foundation for one.
"Maud wept and urged upon lier
lather that he hud money enough for
jboth, and tliougU the old mail agreed
that this was true, he was obdurate,
and refused to budge from the position
lie had taken.
"Howard was proud and plucky,
even if he was poor; he wasted neither
time nor words. He soothed his sweet
heart, and then went straight to the
'mining regions of the west, where so
many have sought, aud found the
.smiles of fortune. Maud was to wait
for him, and she promised to be faith
ful, no matter how long the time of
■waiting might be.
"The father had also commanded
that there should be no correspond
ence between the young people, dur
ing the time of Howard's absence,and
this condition was respected by both.
"The months crept by wearily, and
to the young man working so hard for
■the woman lie loved, this time seemed
interminable. Day after day, and
week after week he toiled uncheered
by any message from the woman for
•whom he toiled. Sometimes he felt
tempted to break his pledged word,
end write to the girl, imploring her to
send him a few words, if only enough
to tell him that she was still faithful.
And then his pride would come to his
rescue, and he would say to himself:
"No, I will not write;Jif she can't be
faithful to me better I should know it
now than when it is too late." So he
worked, and toiled, cheered always by
the belief that a fair, sweet girl was
Waiting to welcome him home, and
counting the hours just as he was do
ing.
"Luck was with the young man,and
in a little more than a year he ami his
partner had 'struck it rich,' aud he
was half-owner of a mine that prom
ised to become one of the richest in
that country. Then he determined to
go back home and tell the girl of his
heart of his good fortune. He would
be his own messenger in carrying the
glad news, so without a word, he put
Jlis things together and started east.
"Of course, having 110 correspond
ence with any one in town, no one was
aware of Howard'* good fortune, and
When he arrived at his old home he
came unheralded. He took only suffi
cient time to brush up a bit, and then
he started for Mr. Wardlow's. Ar
rived at the bouse he knew so well, and
the afternoon being warm, he found
nobody about, save the old gardener,
who was looking after the flowers.
" 'Whore is your mistress?' Howard
asked.
"The old man hesitated.
" 'Can't you understand English?'
Howard said impatiently. 'Where is
your mistress?'
" 'She's—she's in the grove, sir,
a-reading,' said the old man, bowing
obsequiously, and without more ado
Howard went to seek her. You can
perhaps imagine the meeting. He
came suddenly a fair young crea
ture swinging in her hammock undei
the trees and reading. Coming up
quietly behind her he caught her tc
his heart, as he covered her face with
kisses.
"Then he held her off at arm's
length and said:
" 'Maud, my darling!'
"While she answered, 'Howard!'
and hid her face on his breast.
"Howard had waited sufficiently
long for his wife, and so they were
quietly married the next day, and
left at once ou their wedding tour."
Here the Judge ceased his story,
and sat silent, puffing at his cigar, so
long that the other said:
"Well, I don't see anything so verv
'risky' in that."
The Judge smiled and then went
on:
"Wait. It was the 'other one' thai
Howard had married. Maud had sue
cumbered to the charms of a foreigner,
had married and gone away with him.
The 'other one' loved Howard had al
ways loved him, and when she saw
that he mistook her for Maud of course
she pitied him. When she found, too,
that he had not the slightest notion of
the true condition of aft'airs, she con
ceived the idea of marrying him her
self, and explaining to him afterward.
After much coaxing, and because she
believed that Iter daughter's happi
ness deponded upon it, Mrs. Wardlow
consented to the plot. When they re
turned from their wedding tour.
Howard's wife told him everything.
He's a sensible fellow and was quick
to see that what had happened was
all for his happiness.
"Five years have gone by, and to
this day he has never quit thanking
his stars' that he didn't marry Maud,
but married 'the other one!' " —St.
Louis Star.
BUILT BY THE WINDS.
Holland'ft Vigorous Battle Against the
Advancing Sea.
Appreciating the fact that the high
chalk cliffs of England are no protec
tion against the sea, the Dutch engi
neers did not attempt to place an arti
ficial vertical wall against the waves
and the storm tides, but coaxed the
sea to deposit its sands on the shore
and so build it up, rather than throw
them inland and then, hungry for
more, eat into the shore. They be
lieved it best to satisfy its appetite,
but induced it to toy with the sands,
which its own flood currents and waves
bring from other shores, and from the
offing depths. The sand thus depos
ited blows, in the gales, over the in
land country. The engineers induced
it to stop and build a barrier for them
against the sea. One of the heaviest
dikes along the coast was built by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the jet
ties becomes dry in sunny weather,
and the surface is blown ashore when
the wind is in that direction. It was
desired to build a strong dike to con
nect with the sand duues. This was
accomplished by setting in the sand,
in rows about a foot apart, tufts of the
dune sea grass near by. The tnfts
were placed about a foot apart—sim
ply little handfulls of grass; the place
for each tuft was dug out with the
hands, the tuft set into it, and the
sand pressed around it. The whole
surface of the dry, sandy beach above
high tide was covered with this plan
tation, and, just back of it, at the
highest point of the existing sandy
area, one or two rows of reeds were
set into the sand, their tops cut off,
and the stalks left standing about four
feet above the sand. The sand, drift
along over the surface, catches and in
one windy day will almost bury the
tufts of grass and stand up a foot
along the rows of reeds. Then another
plantation was made, and another, un
til a massive dike was built up to the
height of the adjoining dike. In high
storm tides the waves will eat into the
toe of the slope and pull down the
sand, but, by the same process of
building, the dike is again restored to
its former size.—Engineering Magp
zine.
The Chief ltnsoal.
Thomas was a gentleman of Celtic
origin, and it did not take long for the
boys to notice his brogue, and they
made all manner of fun about it, often
mimicking it to a nicety. Thomas
stood the torture as long as any able
bodied man could be expected to, but
finally he resorted to punishment for
his tormentors. One day, full of
wrath fit an exceptional breach on the
part of a tow-headed youngster, he
strode vengefnlly to the school. With
much noise he climbed the stairway
in search of the 'principal. He was
courteously shown to that person, and
began to bitterly denounce the actions
of the pupils.
"I am sorry to hear this," exclaimed
his listener, "and I will try to put an
end to it."
"Oi wish you would, sirruh. Oime
sorry to trouble ye, but oi've beeu so
abused by thim rascals oi thought oi'd
tell ye, as oi understand ye ari the
principal of thim."—Harper's Bound

Double Walls for Warmth.
In building for warmth it should
never be forgotten that light double
walls, enclosing a dead air space, are
much better than a solid wall of any
material. These are equally useful to
keep out cold in winter aud the exces
sive heats of summer. Air is one of
the poorest conductors known, and
wheu it is confined so that no current
affects it, there is greater uniformity
of temperature than can be secured by
any other method.
Full Colonies Are Vest.
It is always beat to start with a full
colony of bees,and one that is in every
way in first class condition. It is true
that you can buy a part of a colony
for less money, but it is the dearest in
the long run, and more liable to be a
failure with you. A full colony of
bees in one season are capable of stor
ing 100 or 200 pounds of honey, be
sides they may swarm and make from
one to three colonies; aud more, a full
colouv of bees are in a condition to
take care of themselves, anil do not
require such difficult manipulation as
that of a nucleus, or pounds of bees,
and a queeu, etc. Full colonies are
always sent in the ordinary hive used
in the apiary, and are equipped with
the necessary fixtures to have every
thing in working order the moment
the bees are located, and the entrance
opened.—The Epitomist.
(iarden and Trurk Farmlnjj.
There are several things to contend
with in gardeuing and truck farming
to make it a success:
Ist. You must find a place where
there is a demand for your product;
where there are factories, mines or
some similar concerns, employing
many people who have little time or
room to raise a garden.
2d. You must have good land and
keep it good by frequent applications
of the best fertilizers for the crop you
expect to raise.
3il. Ascertain what vegetables yonr
customers want and supply them with
the best of each variety. Keep posted
on store prices and don't undersell
them, thereby commanding tlie re
spect of your merchants. Thus you
will get much better prices than if you
sold at the store.
4th. Have regular days for making
your rounds and make them, ruin or
shine. Then your customers will
wait for your coming instead of buy
ing elsewhere. Sell for cash.
sth. Be polite, dress neatly, have
your wares arranged to look attractive
and keep your rig in good repair.
titli. He holiest and iudstrious,
give good measure, ami success awaits
you.—Charles L. Berry in the Epito
niist.
Growing Cabbage.
Unless you intend to grow cabbage
for early summer use, which is ex
pensive and often unprofitable, it will
not be best to sow the seed until
March or April. Before that time
make a hotbed, but without manure,
for the young cabbage is quite as
likely to "damp off" from too much
heat as to be injured by cold. Make
a bed of as rich soil as you can pro
cure and cover this with straw or
leaves to prevent it freezing. Then
when the sun passes the March sol
stice rake oil" the straw or leaves used
as protection, and sow the cabbage
seed rather thinly in rows six inches
apart, and cover with a glass sash
large enough to cover the bed and
banking on three sides. The fourth
side should merely tit against aboard,
so that it cau be lifted to give air and
ventilation. In ten days the cabbage
will be up, and then the sash should
be raised every day so long as the sun
is shining and the air is above the
freezing point. If you have some ni
trate of soda to putin the drills with
the cabbage seed it will make stronger
plants. Ho soon as the plants are
three inches high they should be
transplanted into larger beds, which
must be previously prepared for this
purpose. Every time the cabbage is
transplanted shorten its leaves so as to
keep it from wilting. This will make
a stocky plant, with plenty of roots.
Such plants in fairly rich soil will be
sure to head. The plants that are
grown in masses and have no trans
planting until taken from the bed
■where they have grown and set in the
open ground are not worth taking as
a gift where those that have been at
least once transplanted can be had.—

Poultry for th© Table.
It is singular, but it is true, that in
our country yellow legs control
most purchasers of fowl for the
table in their selections. The
shape of the body which comes
on the table is ignored in favor
of the color of the legs, which
are cut off and become offal. It is a
truth that there exists no breed of
fowl bred for table poultry in all the
long list of American productions save
one; and in the wide world there is no
distinctive table fowl with yellow legs.
American lovers of roast fowl must
give up their fancy for yellow legs or
forego the choicest of table poultry.
This yellow-leg business is a nonsen
sical fancy. The uneducated gour
mand who calls for yellow-legged
chickens would never think of calling
for a yellow-legged quail or turkey 01
canvas-back duck. The choicest of
all our wild-game fowl do not have
yellow legs. The quail, whose body
shape is the perfection of shape for
the table—a little bird which carries
more meat in proportion to its size
than any other foodfbird —has not yel
low legs.
The true table fowl is long in the
body, wide in the back, full in the
breast, aud plump over the keel
meaty all over. Taking its legs as a
centre, there must be more body in
front of the legs than behind. The
shape is a parallelogram. It may be
carried more or less uprightly, de
pending on the breed.
America has produced one most ex
cellent breed of table fowl. This is
the black java, a fowl which deserves
full recognition. I shall never forget
what a beautiful sight at the first mid
continental show at Kansas City, the
pair of black javas of George McCor
mick's, dressed by Armour, made.
These black fowls have yellow skin
but dark legs, long, deep, meaty bod
ies of good size; they are a large bird.
Those fowls attracted a great deal ol
attention.
I do hope our poultry societies will
pay more attention to table poultry.
I know that prizes are often offered
for best pair dressed fowls, etc., but
that is not what I mean. It must be
made a feature, and the prizes must
be awurded by au expert in dressed
poultry—one who does not care for
breed or color of plumage, but does
know what the carcass should be for
table purposes. As a rule, our poul
try judges know nothing on this sub
ject. If at our poultry shows we
could have a classification "table
poultry, first shown alive, and then
the fowls to be dressed for final
award," I tell you there is a whole lot
of much advertised table fowls which
would not be in it, aud some of our
old breeds would come to the front in
a single leap.
There is one breed of fowls that
should come iu here which 1 have not
heretofore referred to. They are not
described in the Standard; they are
not recognized as a fancier's breed;
yet there is no breed so truly a
thoroughbred—no one which cau
trace its pedigree so far back into by
gone ages—not one which has
more of general utility for all pur
poses—for eggs, for the table. I re
fer to what is now called "the old
English game fowl." May the time
come when pit-fighters cease to dic
tate regarding this breed—when the
Standard aguin admits and describes
it as it was fifty years ago, and when
its stalwart form and fearless bearing
is again recognized in the poultry
fancy as the chief of all poultrydom.

Poultry Note*.
If half the hens lay during the win
ter (50 per cent, of the flock) it is good
enough.
If the liens lay fairly well during
January and February, it shows that
they get proper care.
In fact, meat should be fed every
day in the year, only more should be
given in winter than in summer.
Keep the bone mill going if you
have one. If not, then feed plenty of
ground meat aud bone, put up for
that purpose.
Feed the mash every morning also.
So many different grains, etc., can be
thus easily mixed aud fed, aud acts as
a change and invigorator.
Do not overfeed. Give plenty of
good, souud food, but in such a man
ner so the fowls will have to work to
get it. Never feed rye to laying
hens.
Meat iu some form is the. founda
tion of winter egg-laying. Use one
quart of prepared meat to every six
quarts of the soft mash, seveu morn
ings every week.
Do not neglect to season the mash
with salt. We use about a good tea
spoonful of salt to a pail of mash.
All these little things count iu the
course of the year.
Wheat is the best standby for o
regular diet, yet if possible change to
other grains. If very cold feed corn
at night. Cracked corn (sieve out
the meal) is the best, for it works
down in the litter better.
Never confine fowls to the same
kind of food every day in the year.
Make a change as often as possible.
Small potatoes or any vegetable can
be boiled, mashed and thickened with
bran and fed warm will do nicely for
a change.
Clean, warm water mornings, dur
ing cold weather, acts as a tonic on
the fowls. It warms them up and
gets them to work sooner than a drink
of ice-cold water. The water can be
boiling hot when taken from the
stove. It don't take it long to cool at
this season of the year.
Fresh eggs and fresh-killed poultry
will always bring a good price. 11
the quality (of egg) is regular—no
new nest ones—the price will be way
above market quotations. This ia
where the farmer has the advantage.
Make your own market in the nearest
town. People will pay high prioes
for strictly fresh eggs or fresh-kille<
poultry. —Agricultural Epitomist.

Too Much Salt.
The use of salt as a condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear a
word against its excessive use, but
there are a multitude of persons who
eat far too much salt; eat it on every
thing—on meat, fish,potatoes, melons,
in butter, on tomatoes, turnips, and
squashes, in bread, and on a host of
foods too numerous to mention. To
so great an extent is it used, that no
food is relished which has not a salty
taste, and this hides more or less the
realj taste, which is often very del
icate. Now, the amount of salt re
quired in the system is comparatively
small, and if the diet has been right
ly compounded, very little is necessa
ry. Some go so far as to discard its
use altogether, but whether this is
wise or not, we will not here consider.
What are some of the evils of the ex
cessive use of salt? They are to para
lyze the nerves of taste, or to pervert
them so that they cannot enjoy any
thing which has not a salty flavor, and
in addition, there is a direct tax on
both the skin and the kidneys in re
moving it from the blood. Whether
the skin is harmed by this tax we do
not know. Possibly it is not greatly
injured, yet we know that few people
possess a healthy skin; but it is now
pretty well settled that an excessive
use of salt does overtax the kidneys
in its removal, aud that the great
number of cases of derangement and
disease of these organs is due to this
use. It takes only a little time to
learn to enjoy many kinds of food
without salt, and we advise our read
ers and others to look into this matter
and to try and diminish the use of
this condiment, as far as possible. We
believe they will be better for it.— ■

Tea Culture.
Tea culture in the United States de
serves a word, though it never had
the extended trials which were granted
to silk and sorghum. The idea was
first broached in 1854 or 1855, aud in
1857 the government commissioned
ltobert Fortune, the English author
and botanist, who had spent many
years in China, to send to the United
States Patent Office from that country
specimens of tea seeds and young
plants. These arrived in good condi
tion, and in August, 1859, over fifty
thousand fine tea plants were growing
in the United States Propagating Gar
den at Washington. In the Agricul
tural Report for that year considerable
space was devoted to tea, with reasons
why it coull be raised successfully in
America.
South Carolina seems to have been
the only state which cared to try the
tea experiment, and the results were
Bhort-lived and unsatisfactory. In a
year or two no mention of teaappeared
in the Agricultural Reports, and the
project was added to the retired list.
It is not believed that it has ever since
been revived.—New York Tribune.
