[LYDIA'S QUORUM By BELLE MANI ATI'S Copyright, 1805, by Utile Mania tea "Well, Lyddy. I'll got you the Job if I can, but It's going to bo a mighty hard thing to get a 'cornin,' " Deacon Watrous was saying. "You see, that young Wight thinks we ought to have a man. Of course you'll have my vote, but BUI Stiles Is always straddlln' a fence, and tho last man ho talks to gets him. Tills young toiler's highfulutln talk kind of caught Bill's fancy, and ho was totterlu', but I took him In hand, and now he's leanln' our way again. I'll stick to him tighter than a brother and keep him away from Wight till the meetlu' Is over. It's tomorrow night." "You are so good. Deacon Watrous," replied Lydla, raising grateful eyes, "aud If I got the place I'll do my best to vindicate your choice." "I'll do all 1 can, Lyddy," said the deacon. Lydla Gardner had spent the past summer away from home, and when ■he returned to the farm she had found the family In a state of gloom. Crops had been poor, ft number of cat tle had died, and tho Inevitable tnort gage had to be met. Lydla proposed tn meet it by teaching In the district school. She had been reasonably cer tain of securing tho position, counting on the deacon and Bill for a quorum, but now this young man, who had fall en heir to the farm of his uncle, John Wight, and had come to the Corners in her absence, might carry his point of hiring a man to teach. She simply had to have tho position, and sho determined to help Deacon Watrous In his efforts to secure Bill's needed vote. It would be useless for her to appeal to Bill—"Weathercock Bill," as ho was called. Sho resolved to make a bold move and encounter the enemy whom she had never seen. Hugh Wight was In tho sitting room of the old homestead pondering over this same subject of a quorum. When he succeeded to his Inheritance ho had determined to become a practical farm er and win the esteemed position his uncle had ever maintained In the hearts of the simple country folk. They had laugh I'd at tho young man for thinking be could be a farmer, but he had shown them he could loarn from them and Improve on their methods. They were glad to have him succeed his uncle as a member of tho school committee. That seemed to bo more in his line. He had as firm convictions on the ed ucatlonal question as he had on most subjects, ami he thought a man more fitted to wrestle with the difficulties of a country school than a woman. Ho bad not seen this applicant, but he did not approve of a young girl who had no preparation or experience In teach ing In the midst of his cogitations there was a rap at the outer door. He opened It to admit a winsome, willowy girl with big, Innocent eyes and an artless manner. "Are you Mr. Wight? I am Lydla Gardner." He acknowledged the Introduction gravely and asked her to IK; seated. Hugh Wight was not a susceptible man. ond Lydla's beauty only strength ened him In his belief that she was not competent for the position of school teacher at the Corners. "I am, as you know," she said, "a candidate for the position of teacher. I hear that you are In favor of hiring a man for the place, and I don't suppose anything that I could say would chango your opinion. 1 came to ask you not to Induce BUI Stiles to vote against me." He was somewhat surprised at this frank appeal. He liked directness. "It means a good deal to us," she continued earnestly, "and If I don't get the place It will go very hard with my father. My salary would help him more than you can know." Hugh felt as If he had been stealing ■beep. She did not want the money for fripperies, then, but to help her father. "What do you mean by my Influenc ing Bill?" he asked. "It's like tills," she explained. "Dea con Watrous Is of course for me, auil Bill Is, too, or would be, If you leavo him alone and say nothing about tho advantages of having a man, but the last person that approaches Bill has him, and they say you have a convinc ing tongue. The deacon Is going to try and keep BUI away from you until the meeting is over, but 1 didn't care to trust to that, so I oamo to ask you. 1 wouldn't presume to ask you to voto for me, only to let Bill alone." Up to tills time the eyes, voice and manner of the young man had uot been at all encouraging, but In the hearty p«al of Infectious laughter that follow ed her request Lydla caught a note of appreciation, and some way she deriv ed hope from his amusement. "Miss Gardner, it strikes me as rath er odd that you should <*omo and show me the way to gain my point and then ask me not to take It." "Maybe it is," she said wistfully, "but I didn't know what else to do." He remained lu deep study for a mo meut. He did not like to be Influenced by personalities. "Well," he said abruptly, "I'll not speak to BUI or in his presence about this matter, and I'll waive my objec tions for this year and vote for you myself, though I still believe a man should have the place." Two bright spots burned In Lydla's cheeks. "Thank you. I will now have an other Incentive to do my best I shall try to show you that I can fill the po sition as acceptably as a man. You look Incredulous. They all said about here that you, a 'city chap,' could nev er make a farmer, but you showed them you could. I'll show you I can make a teacher." Having made this telling point, Lydla took her departure. Immediately the housekeeper came In and expressed her approval of Wight's concession. "Lyddy's a smart gal, and for all her purty looks and baby way she's got a heap of grit. Ilty her pa didn't have It. He used to be a professor, and he's eddlcated I.yddy to use good speech." At tbu meeting the next ulglit Lydla received a unanimous vote, and when school opened she was installed as teacher. She made companions of Uio big boys and girls and pets of the little ones. The country people were perfect ly satisfied Indue course of time I>ea con Watrous and Bill Stiles came to make the accustomed visit. Lydla was fully prepared for this occasion and In vited them to question the class They knew but a few questions to ask, and as they had paid many visits to the school the pupils knew the answers by heart. Then Lydia asked them to sing a stirring war song and a liymn. Bill's little girl spoke a piece, carefully re hearsed beforehand. The two members went away enthusiastic over the new teacher and told Wight ho had better go und Bet' for hliusell'. And he did, appearing suddenly and unexpectedly near the close of an In dian summer afternoon. Lydla's ex- j presslon of dismay caused a titter of . appreciation among the older boys. In Btead of a reprimand she gave them an i imploring look that could not bo with- ! stood, and order reigned at once. Ly dla felt that the visitor had noted the look and Interpreted it as a confession of Inability to govern. Just as she was about to call upon the school for a song little Hob Hanks let loose ft mouse ho had carefully con fined In his book bag. Excitement pre vailed among the girls and delight among the boys, llad Lydla known that she was to lose her position sho 1 would still have done as she did now, Jumped up on her chair. Hugh caught the mouse, throw It out j of the window, ejected Bob and his book bag and In stentorian tone re stored order. Lydla came down from ! her chair and In her confusion called upon the arithmetic class to come for ward. She wished that Llge Jenkins had remained at home that day. Arlth- j metic was not his forte. She planned . adroitly to omit him, but the visitor in stantly detected the omission and j pounced upon the unfortunate lad. "Llge," he asked, "how many times does 0 go In 27?" To Lydla's dismay Llge promptly stopped to the blackboard and com menced a solution via long division, finally putting down 2 for an an swer. "Try again, I.lgo," urged Wight cheerfully. I.lgo then substituted the figure 4 for 2. "You've got another guess coming, Llge." The boy looked bewildered, and Ly dla desperately came to his rescue. "Llge, won't It go three times?" she naked Insinuatingly. Llge looked at her axiously. "Why, yen," he replied slowly, "it will, but It's a dern'd tight squeeze!" Then came that delightful uncon strained burst of laughter that Lydla had heard once before from Hugh Wight. The school Joined with him. The teacher looked at the clock and thankfully observed it was time for dismissal. She stood at the door until the last scholar had vanished. Then ahe came back to the platform, where Wight still sat and Llge lingered. "Say," observed the lad earnestly, "t'aln't her fault. I never did know uuthlu' about 'rlthmetlc nohow. She's the best teacher we ever had." This touch of sympathy from tho little champion was too much for Ly dla. Her self control slipped, and her head went down on tho desk. "Lige," said Wight gently, "you did better than I expected. There are lots of tilings in life more desirable than a knowledge of the science of numbers. Take this dime and go down to tho Corners and see what It will buy." Tho boy sped happily away. Lydla j raised her head. A little gleam of an j ger and defiance flashed through the tears. "You can send and get a man teach- J er as soon as you want to. I am glad I am not a man." "So am I, Lydia," he said heartily, with such earnestness of voice and eyes that the slender hand of the schoolteacher went up in a pathetic little way to her eyes. "I am your 'quorum,' you know,"he said whimsically, but with the new softness still In his voice, "and I didn't come to Inspect the school nor tho ! scholars, but to take the teacher driv ing. Will she go?" Her hands came .qjiickly down from her eyes, whose dimness was melting | away In a glow of pleasure. "Yes," she replied, "I will go." The Hew Knirliiml Kitchen.

Here In the great, clean, sweet, comfortable place, the busy housewife lives, sometimes rocking tho cradle, sometimes opening and shut ting the oven door, sometimes stirring the pot, darning stockings, paring vegetables or mixing goodies In a yel low bowl. The children sit on the steps, stringing beans, shelling peas or hulling berries, the cat sleeps on tho floor near the wood box and the visitor feels exiled If he stays in sitting room or parlor, for here, where the mother is always busy, Is the heart of the farmhouse.—Century. APACHE SHREWDNESS. The Indlnn'M Halt WIIN iiood, tint th* White Man IJl.ln't "lUte." With the Apaches a really brave man does not stand as high In public estimation as does a clever thief. Ills chief excellence, from an Apache stand point, lies in his ability to outwit the white man, says Mr. Cremony, the au thor of "Life Among the Apaches." I was sitting, says Mr. Cremony, In front of my tent, writing a letter, when a young Apache came up and asked what I was doing I replied I was talk ing to my friend in Washington. "How can you talk to your friend so far away?" "When an Apache wishes to talk of speed to a distant friend," I answered, "he sends him a picture of a bird; If he talks of something sweet he sends a picture of a flower. Instead of pictures the white man has these little signs which all understand." The Indian took up the letter and scrutinized It carefully. "I do not believe you," he said. "You try to make a fool of me. These llttlo signs are all alike." "I will give you proof. I will write on this little piece of paper that the sutler Is to give you some tobacco. Go take It to the store and see If 1 do not speak the truth." The Indian snatched the paper and was off. A few minutes later I saw him slowly coming toward me, a piece of tobacco In his hand and u look of be wilderment on face. Suddenly his expression chang»tl to satisfaction, and he hurried forward. "I »ld you get the tobacco?" I asked. "Yes, but I do not believe you. You I and he had an understanding before so j that you might Ive me. Now If you ; will write some more of those little 1 signs on paper telling the sutler to glvo I me much more tobacco and if he does then I will believe you." But the Indian's ruse failed. I did : not "rise" to the occasion. Wnr History. '■ An old darky was watching the ! G. A. II parade one Memorial day j and was vociferously cheering tho i band.

In this way she was ad mitted to all their private circles and was made acquainted with their so crots. These she at once communicat ed to the Russian government. The truth was that the whole business, in cluding the attempt on his life, was faked by Trepoff himself, and it was simply a clever ruso to got from tho nl hlllsts what could not be got In any other way.

A little known example of Inventive genius in woman is that afforded by Barbara Uttman of Saxony and her point lace so long in fashionable use all over the world. She invented the proc ess and apparatus for manufacturing this beautiful handiwork, which has since given employment to millions of operators aud which, in Its line, baa never been excelled. Tho apparatus looks like a long pincushion bristling with pins arruiiged to outline the pat tern or design. The operator manages from ten to fifty peculiar spools, allow ing the thread to feed over the pins al ternately until the design Is completed. The spools or bobbins are purposely of different colors, so as to be easily dis tinguishable. The process is slow and dllllcult to learn. Miss Uttman found ed schools where thousands learned it. Since her time, when inventive ability was rare even among men. her Ideas have been incorporated In the construc tion of machinery by which the laco Is produced at wonderful lower rates, and yet Barbara Uttman's lace still sur passes all.— London Queen. EARLY DIAMOND BUYING. South Africa'* I"lrnt Find* Were I'ulil For In Cow*. South Africa's first diamonds were j paid for In rows. The story Is tuld by j Joseph B. Robinson, one of the wealthy pioneers of that country. In 1870 ho gave eight oxen and a wagon loaded with sugar and tobacco to a native In exchange for a twenty-three carat gem. "The news spread like wildfire through the countryside that a white man was giving away wagons and oxon for bits of stone," he says."l set all the natives who came to work to seek for diamonds on one side of tho Yaal river, and I brought up my own Ufty men to hunt for diamonds among the bushes nnd scrub on tho other sldo of the stream. I had bought the land on both sides of the river, so that I was working on my own property. Next morning at sunrise, when I was having my coffee, I was startled by a loud hullabaloolng, and, looking out, I saw the whole gang of my men rushing toward me In a state of wild excitement. "One of them had found a diamond of good size They all had come to st>o what I would do with It. 'What will you give mo for It?' said the finder. 'I will givo you ten cows,' I replied and sent the man Into tho herd to take his pick. He marked ten of the best cows as his own. The men hud never dreamed of making such a bargain. Ten cows for a bit of stone! Off they went again and found dia monds every day. They becamo rich, and I accumulated a good store of precious stones. "After we had accumulated a large quantity we decided we would better send them to London. We made a belt full of small pockets, In each <>f which we placed a diamond. When the belt was tilled my partner girded it about his body ami started for Cape Town. He never t > >k off the belt until he reached London And it was In this way the first consignment of African diamonds reached London." When IHKCWIIOI. I* Perfect.

Nearl \ all our vegetables and herbs appear originally to have passed through some preliminary stage in the laboratory of the medical herbalist be fore be ng admitted to the full honors of the kite en The fact is not so : trange as it might at iirst sight ap pear, and it- results have certainly been to the general advantage of man kind, for, though for the most part the old herbalist's prescriptions were of a Mud neither to kill nor cure, his lnves fixations of the specific qualities of ) la.its were often useful. The ancients teem to have regarded sage as an herb of first Importance to the physician, ihkl the many traditions it refer a'.m >st entirely to t!*s aspect of the plant. "Why should a man die who has sage In his garden?" was one if the maxims of the famous school of I e.alth at Salerno. The belief in its vir tu survived through the middle ages iind was handed down with unimpaired vitality to quite modern times. The writers of the sixteenth and seven teenth c -lituries were full of its praises, and there was hardly an ailment of mlnil or body for which sage was not pronoun-'eil a cure or nn alleviation. Thence sprung the idea that as it was thus generally wholesome and recom mended by the faculty the housewife might prudently admit a dried winter supply to her storeroom. And bo tills "sovereign herb" gradually found Its way Into the kitchen, of which it lias ever since remained an indispensable adjunct; not that it at once lost all Its medical attributes. "lie that would live for aye must eat sage in May" runs the proverb. But the cooks soon began to take broader views. They pronounced sage to be equally savory and salu tary all the year around anil of special and peculiar value at the season of Mi chaelmas. But this Is advancing matters. Even the best of things eatable have had to overcome prejudice and slowly make their way, and in the case of mere con comitants some help from the encour aging hand of fashion has generally been necessary. The rather nauseous brew known as sage tea was . i com mon a domestic medicine to our fore fathers that they could not at once ac cept the herb In the character of a savory adjunct. But we live and learn, and the merits of sage as a modifier of certain rich viands began to be ac knowledged. It seemed to have a kind of natural affinity with roast pork, goose and duck and presently became the constant attendant of these dishes. Early in the eighteenth century an ac knowledged authority laid it down that "as to geese nnd ducks, cooks should stuff them with some sage shred fine and a little pepper and salt and tho game with a suckling pig." - London Globe.

The wave acts as a tonic; but, tinlike any tonic made by man, it carries no reaction. No other land has cold waves like ours. To the cold dry air of this periodic cold wave, which brings extraordinary changes of temperature, we owe much of the keen alert mind, the Incessant, unremitting energy of our American race.—Century.

William Harrison, a clergyman from whom one tra i n . many peeps at the six teenth century, refers to some of the stj les of beards at that period. If a face happened to be "platter-like," a lon.tr, slender beard would make it seem the narrower.

BUTTER WEIGHT. \\ lint One Observer Learned From n VSsll CO n Grocery. Live and learn. I heard a respect able looking, motherly soul, making purchases for the family, say to the grocer, "He sure to give me butter weight, now, for I've been a long time customer of yours." "Certainly, Mrs. MacLaicn," he replied cheerily, "you arc entitled to it if any one is." Yet she bought no butter. "What is butter weightV" I inquired when she had gone. "Why, that's Just a little sop we hand out to some of our uld customers," said the salesman. "Instead of making an exact pound of anything they buy we make It u frac tion over, which tickles them nearly to death. Of course we are particular to let them see they are getting more than their money's worth; hence we keep their trade." I next asked how the store made up for this ex!ra allowance. "That's dead easy," was the reply, "but as It Is a trick of the trade I don't think we ought to tell everybody." "Perhaps other customers receive short weight?" "If the\ il we don't let 'em know it." "Maybe your prices are just a frac tion over the market?" "Never! We sell die per than anybody." "Maybe your goods are inferior?" At that hi quailed. Uefcrring to a dictionary, I learned that buth r weight is an allusion to a custom of exacting seventeen or eight een ounces or even more to the pound of butter, possibly on the ground that the water in it would soon evaporate and bring the pound down to sixteen ounces. In Scotland tron weight (.twen ty-one to twenty-eight ounces to the pound) was used in buying butter.— New York I'ress.
