The year 1393 will not witness a di
amond jubilee, bat it will be golden
one. Emperor Francis Joseph of Au
stria, who is sixty-seven years old this
month, will celebrate next year the
fiftieth anniversary of his asoent to the
throne.
Travelers in the wilds of Africa will
do well to take a plentiful supply of
umbrellas with them, according to
Professor Pechuel-Loesche, the Ger
man explorer. He says they are the
best protection against the wild beasts,
tigers and lions especially being afraid
f them when suddenly opened.
A Territorial newspaper claims for
Arizona the possession of a single sea
port. This is Tama, at the paint
where. the Oila River joins the red and
rolling Colorado. The town is oue
of the oldest in the Territory. Its
climate is such that the inhabitants
ran raise about everything that tan be
grown in the tropics.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat ex
olaims: What a system of fireproof
bnilding is worth to a city is shown by
the fact that the Fire Department of
Paris costs 8514,600 a year, while that
of New York City requires ou outlay
of $2,345,355. To this must be added
the losses caused by the far more
numerous and extensive conflagrations
in the American city and the heavier
premiums on, insurance.
The State of Georgia is $1,000,000
short in tax returns. All except
eleven of the 187 comities have made
their returns of taxable property, and
of this numbor eighty show increases
and forty-sit decreases, as compared
with the returns of Inst year. The
total decrease for eighty counties is
$1,000,916, and the total doorease for
forty-six is $5,000,091. The few
connties not reported will not change
these figures materially. The tax
rate this year will be higher than ever
before.

The establishment of a sort of "Si

penal colony where dangerous An

can be confined for life. It is said
that Austria, Germany, Italy and Rus

ably, but Great Britain, France, Swit
zerland and the United States have
not yet bcon heard from, and will
probably not consent to the proposal.
Uncle Sam showed clearly at Chicago

ianship of some
one who is doing
his duty by you
is not an un
mixed pleasure.
Miss Bradford's
sister, Mrs. Gal
latin, was doing hef duty by Miss
itraaioru. xne iormer was not at an
pretty. The lutter was very, very
pretty which is so much "more charm
ing than being very, very beautiful,
lint Mrs. Oullutin was married and
Miss Bradford was not. This came of
the fact thut Mrs. Gallatin had visited
at Fort Treble and had captured an
unfludgod lieutenant by manicuvring
and a miracle, and that Miss Bradford
had spent her tweuty-one years in a
small Maino town.
Boys in the village had been in love
with Bessie Bradford, but she had not
been iu lore with them, and she had,
moreover, a decent appreciation of
her owu value and knew she was fur
too good for such as they. There had
been a college youth, also, once; but
he and she had quarreled before the
end of his summer visit. And now
Bessio was one-and-twenty and the
family worried. It worried itself into
a state where even the raising of a
niortgngo on the home did not seem
too great a thing, if it would but in
sure her marriage. With the money
thus obtained she was sent across the
continont, with instructions to get
herself wedded before she came back.
She was told to marry a general if she
could. If not anything, down to a
second liontennnt. But rank was to
1)3 the primary consideration, Miss
Bradford agreed. She picked out a
very nice general, mentally. He would
be about five-and thirty, and hand
some and dashing. That years went
with rank was one of the things the
civilian novels of army life she had
read had not taught her. Besides,
she was romaritio as a very pretty
girl should be, Sri she promised that
grade should .govern her choice. Then
she departed to visit her sister at the
Presidio.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Gallatin lived
In the building known as the "Cor
ral." If the Corral wero in the city,
it would be called a tenement. But
Uncle Sam doesn't quarter his officers
in tenements. The Gallatins were
cramped for room very cramped.
They had three children and second
lieutenant's pay. So they were poor.
Therofore, taking Miss Bradford in
was not a pleasure. It was a duty.
But Bessie felt the unpleasantness
of tho situation tho very day of her ar
rival. "Captain Soutter is going to take
you to the hop this eveniug, Bess,"
Mrs. Gallatin said; Bessie was cutting
paper bird-cages for her niece. Mrs.
Gallatin was mending a pinafore.
"I've promised to go with Mr. Mil
ford," answered Miss Bradford, stop
ping and lookiug up from the scissors.
"Mr. who?"
"Mr. Milford. Colonel Milford's
son, who lives in St. Louis."
"Where have you met him?" The
"him" warned Bessie that she was
running on rocks.
"On the train. We got acquainted.
He's in business in St. Louis, and he's
coming to visit his people because he8
in bad health. He is a very nice
man."
"Man! He must bo about twenty
three. A perfect boy. And his busi
ness is being a briefless barrister.
Now, lot me tell you one thing, Bes
sie. You must learn from the first
that the civilian son of an officer is no
body at all in a garrison. You will
hurt your chances badly witt the of
ficers by going with him. How did
he know there was to be a hop?"
Bessie finished opening the cage,
gave it to her uiece with a kiss, gath
ered the scraps of paper in her bond
and threw them into the waste-baket,
clasped her fingers behind her curly
brown head, aud auswered leisurely:
"He didn't know there was to be one
to-night. He asked me to go to the
first one there should be after our ar
rival." Mrs. Gallatin thought how very,
very pretty Bessie was and wondered
if her husband contrasted them.
"He probably will never think of it
again. Captaiu Soutter is going to
call to ask you, this afternoon, and
you'd bettor accept."
"Can one go with two men out here
onte-nuptiolly?"
"Don't be vulgar. You needn't
consider tho Milford boy."
"Oh! but I must, Genevieve, you
know. I promised." Miss Bradford's
big gray eyes were guilelessly ear
nest. "I've no donbt that pose is taking
with the men. But you can't make
your devotion to promises succeed
with me, dear. I know yon too well.
I can't remember that they worried
you, with the boys at home."
"This promise doesn't worry me.
Not a little bit."
"Well, I should suggest that you

Or lose the sense of keen regret..
Oh, If we eould but learn to know

take my advice and be less flipptfnt.
Recollect that you were not sent 'way
out here to flirt with penniless civil

"If I forget, remind We, will you?
I'll make you a little red silk flag, if
you like. I can make flags. I made
one for a fair at home, once. Yon

wave it when you see me about to rnn

and laboriously laid for me to run on.
I'll teach you the signals. Mr. Mil
ford and I studied them from the back
of our sleeper. I think there's some
one at the door, sister deario."
It was Captain Soutter, come to for
malize the hop arrangement. He was,
obviously, very glad that he had come.
For Miss Bradford was pretty ex
traordinarily pretty.
"I am happy in being a near neigh
bor of yours, Miss Bradford," he told
her. He forgot as men will how
often he had cursed tho ill-luck which
threw him within hearing distance of
the Oallatm trio of infants.
"Yes?" said Bessie; "you are in our
vicinity, then?"
"A little above you in tho world. I
livo upstairs. When yon want me you
have only to pound on the ceiling."
"The what is it? quartermaster?
The quartermaster mightn't like me to
wear out Ins ceiling.
"You Hatter mo by the implication,
Miss Bradford. But I'll settle with
the Q. M. if you will only pound. For
instanco, will yon pound to-night when
you are ready for the bop, to which it
is my dearest wish to be permitted to
escort you?"
He forgot what be had wished when
Mrs. Gallatin bad asked him to per
form this act of courtesy toward the
comingsister. But then he had looked
at Mrs. Gallatin and had j'udgod from
her of the sister.
"I would be only too delighted, if it
were not that I have already promised
to go with some one else."
f The betrayed captain manifested hi
astonishment and resentment at having
tafWkVuibjcsted to refusal. . IT.t kai 6
high opinion of bis dignity, had
captain.
"Why, who on earth can have asked
yon already?" he cried. t
Miss Bradford had 'a cool little
Northern air, when she liked. She
considered the captain's question in
bad taste. So she raised her eyebrows
and smiled most sweetly. "I shall
hope to have a dance with you, Captain
Soutter," she said.
And she had, not one, but three.
The captain forgot his wrath at the
sight of her. Wheu she came from
the dressing-room into tho hallway to
join young Milford, the captaiu was by
the door. Ho looked at her.
"Might I hope to bo accorded the
second and fifth and ninth, Miss Brad
ford?" be asked.
"Oh! thank you," said Bessie. She
was gruteful, aud ho was quite ap
peased. Now Miss Bradford was a sucoess.
She had what is known as a beautiful
time for three whole mouths, No girl
was remembered ever to have re
ceived altogether so much attention.
She always hud lovers and tho two
don't always go together. Captain
Soutter loved her, so did Lieutenant
I'axton, and so did young Milford.
Bessie loved young Milford. A girl
who prefers "cit." clothes toa uniform
is peculiar, to say the least. Bessie
didn't say or show whom she loved,
except to Milford. She had told him.
She had refused I'axton, and she was
warding the captain off. But the last
she could not do much longer. The
captaiu had a good opinion of him
self. He also had a dignity which was not
to be trilled with. Mrs. Gallatin was
by no means sure of Miss Bradford.
So ono day she spoke to her. The
process of being spoken to can rouse
the worst iu a girl. But Bessie was in
a broken aud contrite frame of mind.
She and young Milford had quarreled,
aud she didn't care what became of
her. She might as well marry any
old man and sacrifice herself for her
family. She made a most affecting
picture of herself as an offering on the
altar of matrimony and filial duty. She
would pine away picturesquely in a
year or so, and Will Milford well,
perhaps be would go to tho bad. She
hoped so. It was under this pressure
that she solemnly promised and swore
to Mrs. Gallatin to marry Captain
Soutter if he asked her. What Miss
Bradford promised and swore she
never broke.
So as soon 'as she and young Mil
ford made it up, she set about won
dering how Captain Soutter was to be
kept from asking her. Yet she could
not arrive at any plan. The captain
was an impetuous man, and he was
neither over well-bred nor nicely dis
criminating. Bessie was worried. If
it had been that she had promised
and sworn anything to young Milford
and had had to choose which vow to
break, she would not have hesitated.
But she had teased him, and had only
answered "maybe." For which she
now suffered.
if
. Bat Fate came to her aid as it al
ways should and always doesn't in the
ease of a very pretty girl.
She was going to another hop, and
she was going with Captain Soutter.
He had invited her at the time that
she was practicing for the martyr role.
As she couldn't, therefore, go with
Milford, she would wear the gown he
liked, which was white silk. For it
she had tOjhave white gloves; and her
white gloves were soiled. Therefore
they must be cleaned. Miss Bradford
was an adept at cleaning gloves. She
prepared a special mixture of a num
ber of chemicals and powders. This
mixture had to be whipped as if it
had been the white of eggs very light
and frothy. It had a most unpleasant
odor, but it was pretty to look upon.
Because the odor was so unpleasant
Miss Bradford opened the door into
the hallway and stood just within it
beating.
There was air in the hallway, bat
there was none in the Gallatins' quar
ters, as the baby bad a cold. Captain
Soutter had a cold, too a frightful
one. If he had not had he would
would hare noticod the smell of Miss
Bradford's mixture. He came through
the hall on bis way to his own quar
ters on the floor above. Colonel Mil
ford was with him. The captain, did
n't like the colonel particularly, on ac
count of his being his son's father.
"Ah! Miss Bessie! What a pretty,
housewifely picture we make," said
the captain.
Bessie smiled encouragingly.
"What are we doing? Whipping
cream? How good it looks. If Hebe
would but feed us with ambrosia."
The colonel smelled the ambrosia;
but he held his peace.
"I'll give you a taste, captain,
if you want it very, very much. Open
your mouth wi-i-de. Shut your
eyes." '
She put a heaping forkful in his
mouth. ' The horrible taste made him
gusp. The gasp made him swallow
the froth. Colonel Milford laughed.
But Captain Soutter wont to his quar
ters without a word.
Bessie went to the hop that night
with young Milford. Afterward, while
she and her sister and Lieutenant
Gallatin were having their supper of
crackers and cheese, Miss Bradford
told thorn that she was going to marry
the penniless civilian.
"But how about Cnptain Soutter?"
wailed Mrs. Gallatin.
"Hush! He might hear you. Oh!
I'm awfully afraid he'll never speak
to me again." And he never did.

Dog Given Vp Life to Save IIU M inter.
When a man gives up his life for

to his memory; but when a dog dies

morning for a stroll. His dog followed
him. He tried to drive him back.
Then master and dog started to walk
along thq Jersey Central Railroad
tracks to Elizabeth.
Midway between the stations Walker
met a heavy freight train running
rapidly eastward, making enough
noise to deaden all other sounds.
Walker stepped to the west-bound1
track. His dog, which had been run

It was too late to stop, although the
engineer was trying to do so. Walker

When the tram was nearly on top of
Walker his dog sprang at him with a

When Walker recovered his senses
he looked for his dog. The faithful

Msy weed is not a kind of weed that
seriously troubles the careful farmer.
It mainly comes in on hard, trodden
places by road sides, where if anything
else starts to grow it is crushed oat.
The may weed, not being so easily
killed, survives. May weed cannot
thrive where there is an undisturbed
and thrifty growth of clover, but let
the clover be trampled in the mire by
stock, and the may weed will be ready
to grow aud take the vacant place. It
is most often seen, aside from road
sides, at the entrance to pasture lots,
where clover and the grasses are
trampled to death by stock.
Milk rever.
Milk fever is a disease to be dread
ed by the man who has first-class
dairy cows, and who feeds and cares
for them in such a manner as to make
them large producers. The man with
scrub cows, that have to rustle for
themselves during the winter . round
the straw stack, never suffers from loss
by milk fever when his cows come in
iu the spring. It is true he gets no
profit out of his cows, and he rarely
gets product enough from them to pay
for the little feed and care they do
have. But he can, and does, console
himself by saying he never has milk
fever with his cows like those men do
who "stuff and pamper and baby their
cows."
We have lost, within the past fifteen
years, several valuable cows with this
disease. We think we now know how
to prevent. A heifer with her first
calf never has it and very rarely with
the second calf. A cow that is milked
continuously right np to calving is not
liable to have milk fever, at least we
have never known one to. We hesi
tated to write that last sentence for
fear some one would accuse us of ad
vocating continuous milking. That
we do not, but still feel bound to state
that fact. A cow that is starved, or
fed just enough to live on, will never
have milk fever.
One way is to dry the cow up six or
eight weeks before she is due to calve
(unless she is suoh a persistent milker
as to make that impracticable) ; at the
same time reduce her feed by taking
nearly, if not quite all, the grain from
her. Her bowels should be kept loose.
If the cow is in flush pasture, and she
is one you have reason to believe like
ly to have milk fever, the only safe
way to do is to keep her upon dry feed.
We know it is hard for the man who
has been in the habit of "babying"
arfd petting his cows and feeding them
to their full capacity to refuse them all
they want to eat, but it is the only
safe way . to do with some of them.
After a cow has had milk fever once
she is more liable than other cows to
have it again, and if she does have it
a second time she will be always most
sure to die. Hoard's Dairyman.

Poultry In Orchards.
Mr. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting
on a report of the Rhode Island Ex
periment Station regarding the value
of fowls to orchards, says: "For many
years I have advocated the introduc
tion of poultry into apple orchards,
maintaining that they do good service.
in two vory distinct modes first, by
manuring the ground, and, secondly,
by the destruction of insects and
grubs that hibernate in the soil."
The apple maggot appears to be ex
tending in America, attacking the fa
vorite Baldwin, which is so well known
as being imported largely into this
country, and rendering it entirely un
fit for use, but the spraying the trees
with 'Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green has appeared to prevent all seri
ous attacks of this insect
In the mature state this insect is a
fly, which deposits its eggs in the pulp
of the apple beneath the skin. The
young maggots grow within the fruit,
which they render worthless, and
when mature emerge from the apple
and go into the ground, lying iu the
pupa state beneath the surface soil
among the grass roots. Samples of
the earth, six inches square, were
taken, and the number of maggots un
der the trees varied, according to the
size, from 1C00 to more than 12,000
under each tree; the pupa somewhat
resembles kernels of wheat. Now
comes the point which was particularly
interesting to me. The experiment
was tried as towhether poultry, if
confined to small range and enoour
aged to scratch, would destroy these
pupa. A large movable wire fenJ

had been destroyed by insects. On
