K.Munkittrick, in Once A Week. A HEDGE FENCE. 11Y SAUAII 11. 81 AUIIOKOUUII. A hedge fence was what Nancy Mott called it; but to the uninitiated it seemed only a possible wind-break of tall, thick set, glossy-leaved Osage oranges. Hut, at any rate, it had been set out for a hedge fence, and it had in reality more than fulfilled the intent aud purpose of its owner, Nancy Aloft. When old Obed Mottdied twenty years before, the farm was divided into two equal parts from the back fence to the highway in front; and young Obed and Nancy, the only children, took possession of their respective portions. Obed chose the half facing the cross road; ami he had also the wood-lot, as an offset to the old house and outbuildings on the main pike, which portion fell t Nancy. lie built a bouse, and then brought home a wife. Hut Nancy kept the even tenor of her spinster life in the old home. Obed continued to "work the place" as ho had done for years, carrying on Nan cy's portion 011 shares. lli< kept up her fences, looked after her stock, and took care of things generally. Nothing happened to make this other wise than satisfactory until, some years later, Nancy's cow broke through the front part of the line fence, and totally destroyed Obed's garden. The cow was an unruly croaturo, and bail caused damage before ; but this was the last feather. Obed's wife felt righteously vexed. The garden had been a fine one. "Somcthin's always gettiu' in," Obed complained to Nancy that day. "You've got to git rid of that snoopiu' critter, Nancy, or else soinetliin's got to go up atween us that's lioss high, bull strong an' proof." " Fences ain't immortul, no more'n folks,' - she retorted, stung by what seemed a sign of wanting interest in her and her possessions. "Yes, it's time soinothin' went up that won't tumble down if you pint your linger at it." I'nfortuiiately, the next thing Obed did was to mention the matter of a new fence at an evil moment, when an advice giving relative of his wife was present. " Obed, if you have your eye open for futur' troubles, you'll tako each 0110 o' you half o' that air lino fence, an' bo liolden' fer it," was this relative's pro phetic advice. Prophetic it surely was, for if Obed had had "an eye out fur futur' troubles" I lio could not have donu a surer tiling to bring tlioni than to take this advice, which lie did. 110 went to Nancy. "You can take front or back, ary one," ho said, as ho I concluded his suggestion with regard to ; n division of the fence, having weakly ' proppod it up by quoting his authority and reasons for the stop. "I'll take the front half," said Nancy, sharply, with a spasmodic tightening of her lips. The next week the old fence was cleared away, during Obed's absence from home. When ho came back an un known workman was plowing a deep furrow right on the line. "Women don't know nothin'," was Obed's disgusted exclamation, as he first noted the proceeding from a back win dow. "I'll have to go an' see 'bout it." He drew on bis boots and went, and was met by Nancy. "What air youthinkin' 'bout, Nancy?" bo began. "'Bout the fence," she replied, coolly. "Well, that ain't the way to build a fence." " *Tain't? I'd like to know bow else you'd start a hedge fence!" "A hedge fence? You don't mean to say that you're goin' to set out a hedge fence?" "That's just what I'm goin' to do. I'm goin' to build HOiiicthiu' that'll be boss high, pig proof and bull strong," she Obcd went away speechless but soon returned with his wife. "It'll he just a hroodin'-pluco for snakes," said Obed's wife. "I aint afraid of 'em!" "It'll take oceans o' money to keep it lookin' anyhow, after it's growed," Obed argued. "I unit got not bin' else to lay it out on," Nancy returned. "Jiut a picket fence wouM've ben so much nicer," Obed's wife la montcd. "You can put a picket fonco 'long your half, or a stump fencoor a caterpil lar rail fence," Nancy snapped. "This is my half now." " But you might 'a' consulted somebody 'bout it, seems to mo," said Obed. "1 don't consult others 'bout family matters," she answered, with dry signifi cance. Sn tliey lut luT alone, nud tb.s fcmoe huildiuir w.m 'l'h Osa K oraugea wore "I'll set. und for two years wero well tended bv tin' man who took tho job. It mis excellent soil ami they grow rapidly. They were splashed—that is. bent lengthwise along the row anil pinned to tho ground, thut they might become impenetrable when from the prostrate brunches others would shoot up. And the feeding whieh begun with the sug gestion of the fence grew with its growth. Obed talked it over at home with his wife, and Nancy*thought it over in hours of loneliness. Obed's wife's relations thought it an outrage, and advised Obed to get out an injunction or something of the sort, hut Obed had wisdom enough left to refrain from legal proceedings. tt 44 'Twould be going from bad to wuss, be remarked, "ami I don't see h°w a body'd injine a lot o growin stutl like that." c Then another idea took possession ot Xancy. She seldom saw Obed now — ' oven the children did not come to seo her. It was so much farther around tho road, and the old path was closed. Obed had ceased to farm her portion, saying ho "s'posed she'd want to run her place, as she'd run her fence, alone;" and she had promptly and spiritedly replied that she could do it well enough. So at last she felt herself left to the mercies of her hired man, Ike. "Ye're goin' to have that fence trimmed up?" Ike queried, one morning. She looked out. How it had grown! Those plants had been in perfect sympa thy with her. They had sent out branches in every direction, until the line was a mass of thorn-covered branches. The hedge was impenetrable. "Serves 'em right," she exclaimed, under her breath. "They'd no business to make sech a fuss over that cow's doin's, nor over that fence neither. No, I ain't goin' to trim it. Let it grow," she went 011, in a lower tone, "till we can't see anthill' of nary one of us." That was how the long line of thickly interwoven branches cume to be loft to shoot skyward untrimined, until it lost all likeness to the hedge she hud ut first I planned. I .She wus nervous and trembling from an attack of neuralgia one September morning when Ike informed her, us be swallowed his third cup of coffee, that the "burn leaked like all git-out, an' the huy'd got wot, the cow'd got the colic eat in' apples, and Nep'd gone lumo with one of them 'sago thorns in his foot," ending with the announcement, "Obed's 've gone to the Fair, an' I'm goiu', too." "They didn't use to forget to ask ine to go with 'em." Nancy murmured to her self, as she hurried off to the oust room which faced the hedge. To be sure, she knew she had before now refused to go to the Fair with them, saying she had Nop; but he was lame— and they hud certuinly forgotten her. Then there was the burn, and the cow. If the orchard fence had been built, she would not have had the colic. Then came the thought that there used to be no worry for her when Obed had charge; but he had left her alone. She turned to the window involuntarily, and looked over the fields us she had ! done daily for years; but she could seo nothing now but tall, waving brunches, which seemed to nod at her and say, "You see we've done it; aren't you glad?" The aspiring tree-tops had at last fulfilled her wish; at lust she could not see even Obed's chimneys. She was alone indeed—and she was in tensely miserable. i Ike drove off as she looked, calling out to her that the cow was dead. She saw Nep limping out by the liedgo, and sho went back to the kitchen with an aching heart and throbbing head. The day was a long one. llow many times she wont to the oast room to look towards Obed's she could not have told. It was late in the afternoon when she aimlcsslv wandered thoro again. Had Obed's folks come homo? llluo smoke was curling up. Hut they would stay late ut the Fair on Thursday—the best day. Bcnnio must ho at home. Sho did re member that Ike said ho had cut his foot; but she had not been there. A cloud of smoke rolled up. She picked up another pair of glasses and put them on That was flame that shot up above the trees then, surely! Something was wrong. She shook violently as she hurried hack to the kitchen. How could she get there? She must go! It was too far around. There was the old path; but the hedge was too thick to penetrete. One second she hesitated; then her eye fell on the axe by the wood-pile, and catching it up, she hurried down the old path. But who was that? Millie, six-yonr-old Millie, this side of the hedge, her dress torn, her face and bands scratched, and the tears rolling down her cheeks. She hud pierced the hedge. "Aunt Nancy! Aunt Nuneyl Tho I house—afire—Bonnie—" was all she could say. | Nancy Mott was never able to tell I just how she did it. But she forgot rheu ! mutism and neuralgic pains. The nxc was sharp, the place the child had in stinctively chosen was tho thinnest I Nancy dimly recollected that tho men said it would not grow so well on the old, beaten pathway and the tough steins fell before even her weak, awkward strokes. She soon had made an opening large enough to crawl through; and loading Millie by the bund, she dragged her trem bling limbs to the house. Sheets of Hame poured from the chim ney, umi the house was fairly enveloped in a pull of smoke. in tho kitchen the atmosphere was thick with smoke and the odor of burning wood and sweets As soon as she could see clearly she discovered Bonnie upon one foot, hob bling about, frantically pushing hack great pieces of burning soot which fell behind the old "fireboord," or dashing water from the bucket upon the bourd it self, which now utid then hurst out into a blaze. A roaring lire in the stovo was keeping up the coiitlagrution, while the contents of a burning kettle of inolusses added to the smoke and smell. Nancy hastily threw aside tho stove covers and tossed a handy howl of salt upon the lire—bowl and all. Then set ling Bonnie down, his foot bleeding afresh from his exertions, she took from him the old iron ruke drugged out the burning board from before the old lire place, deluged it with water and pushed hack the falling soot to die out upon the stone hearth. Then when the roaring and crackling began to cease, she sat down on tho old hoard in tho midst of soot and water, and cried. It was a forlorn group that Obed and his wife found an hour later when they entered the smoke begrimed kitchen. Then came the children's confession as to the origin of the trouble; they had built a"big molasses-candy lire." Nancy, too, explained why she was there, and ruM to go. 44 You'd better stay—now you're hero,- said < >bod's wife, not unkindly. "There ain't 110 body there," Nancy answered, in a tone of utter hopelessness; "an' Xep's gone lame an' the cow's dead. I've gut to go.'' Obed looked at his wife. "1 guess I'll go an' see," ho said, noddiug at her. Nancy turned toward the back door, though her brother had started toward the front door. • Why, which way did you come?" ho asked. 44 Aunt Nancy cutted the hedge, she did!" cried Millie. ••Cut the hedge!" ejaculated Obed. 44 Yes, I did!" Nancy dropped down on the horse block and hysterically wrung her wet apron. 44 An', Obed, go got somebody to cut it all down, an' put up a ploket fence—anything but a hedge 'tween us, Obed—l can't stand it any longer!" People were surprised wliou the tall young trees went down. A few days' work undid the growing trouble of years. But people were still more surprised when Obed oulmly dismissed Ike, and again took charge of Nancy's place. Then Nancy, the strain and worry re moved, took to her bed, and for ten loug mouths lay racked by iutiammatory rheumatism. It was midsummer again before she left the west room where she hud lain, and again looked over toward Obed's. "It seeins good to see over there," she said, putting up her glasses us they wheeled her to the window. "Why, 1 told you to put up a picket fence, an' you've let the old hedge grow up agin!" "There's picket fence enough," said Obed's wife; and Nancy's eye, following the direction iu which she pointed, roveu down the smoothly-clipped green tops of the new-grown fence to where a neat gate had been let in; and over it two young osage saplings had been twined in a living arch of foliage. 44 We might just as weli've had it so years ago," she went on to say, "only we didn't start out right to have 110 t h" 'Cept a hedge fence," added Obed, I jocosely. 44 A11' it takes just sech starts to get just sech a hedge fence as we got," Nan cy significantly replied. It was the last reference, either direct or indirect, to the old trouble. Obed carried on the farm once more, and peace reigned between the two bouses.— [Youth's Companion. Eating Callu Hoots. A now vegetable is übout to bo intro duced to the people of the United Stutes through the Department of Agriculture. It is the root ot the sacca lily, which re sembles somewhat in uppoarauco the or dinary Irish tuber, with the addition of a few whiskers that have nothing to do with the quulity of the article as an escu lent. It is more elongated, and when cut the interior is a trifle more viscid. Hut a section of it is so potato-like you would not be likely to distinguish any difference. In cooking it has first to be boiled in order to destroy certain acrid properties, after which it may be fried, roasted, bakod, or what not, according to tuste. Farmers in Florida ha.ve begun to raise these callu roots for murket. The plants grow readily in swumps, and so thiokly that the yioldof a single flooded acre is enormous. They reproduce themselves by tho multiplication of their bulbs under ground, so that tho grower has simply to dig up tho offshots and leave tho parents to propagate anew. For centuries the Egyptians have cultivated a similar crop during the soason of the Nile overflow, and at tho present time cnlla lily buds are a common vegetable in Japanese markets. So prolific und palatable are they that thoir propaga tion in many parts of tho United States where conditions are favorable may rea sonably bo looked forward to as an agri cultural industry of the future.—[Port land Oregoniun. Economy in Steam Power. One of the modern ideas of the eco nomical use of steam power is the use of u number of small engines located at various points in u large shop, instead of a single engine of suflicicnt power to drive uli the machinery. Professor Cole mau Sellers asserts thut with the best shafting that can be made hardly one half of the power generated by the engine reaches the machines when distributed by moans of long shafts. So great is tho friction that a shaft two miles long could not ho turned by any amount of power upplied at one end, as the shaft would be twisted off before it would turu. lu the new shops of tho Pennsylvania Railroad at Altoona and Walls Station, this idea of subdividing power has boon admirubly carried out. In tho Altoona shops there are seventeen small engines, ranging from five to eighty horse power, and there are five engines in the Walls shops.

At some of the grout Hiudoo temples in India it is the custom, handed dowu from immemorial ages, to keep u per manent staff of dancing girls on tho premises. These light-limbed damsels take a prominent part in tho religious ceremonies, jigging it guyly when di rected by the priests. In return, they not only receive handsome salaries, but are entiled to many valuablo privileges, and the place is consequently eagerly sought for by the liuutohing sisterhood. Decidedly high-spirited and great stick lers for their professional rights, the young ladies brook no priestly interfer ence with thoir private recreations; so long as they dance gracefully when called upon, they consider that thoir part of tho contruet is fulfilled. Unhappily, the demon of discord has entered into this happy family. In an evil hour the priests of a famous temple in the Madras Presidency lately determined to reduce the emoluments of their duncing assist ants, which had gradually grown beyond all reasonable bounds. Hut they little reckoned what would follow; within twenty-four hours every one of the fair bevy went 011 strike, and as a particular ly grand ceremony had to he performed just then, to which dancing was u neces sary accessory, the holy men themselves had to prance about, much to the editicu tion of pious worshipers.

An invention which is exciting u good deal of interest on the continent, where the tiut system of residence is so much in vogue, is un automatic electric letter and parcel deliverer, produced by a resi dent of Geneva. As its name implies, the apparatus is designed to distribute automatically on each floor and to all the tenants of a house the letters or parcels which may be addressed to them. A large box situated on the ground floor contuins us many apertures as there are floors or tcnunts in the house. When a letter or other object is introduced into one of these openings the box rises, and, in passing, distributes in each of the re ceptacles flxed in the ante-chamber of the addressees the articles intended for them, each tenant being in turn udvised of the arrival of the article by the ring ing of an electric bell. The working of the apparatus is extremely simple, us the following few dctuils will show, and its cost is lusigniflcunt: The object intro duced into the box on the ground floor effects, at the top of the house, un olee | trie contact, which opens the valve of a water tank.
