Human I life is not precious in all parts of the New World at all tiAcs. There is reason to believe that the movement of population from the country.to the city is subsiding and that farming is becoming more popu lar. It ought to. Farming properly followed is as sure and good a busi ness as any other. It may be a slow process of acquiring a competence, but it is the most certain and the most independent one. With industry and economy a comfortable living can be made by cultivating the soil, with less labor and risk than by any other honest method known. Stick to tlie farm, advises the Agricultural Bpitomist. Cavalry horses are not being given away nowadays. Bids were opened at Omaha the other day for 400 horses for the newly organized Fourteenth Cavalry at Fort Lcvenworth. The bids ranged from .$l3O to .$l3O a horse, n pretty stiff price, but what was the Quartermaster's Department to do? The cavalry must have good horses and good horses come high. It will be some time before the cavalry can be equipped with automobiles. The im pulsive persons who have had tears to shed over tin decline and fall of the horse were decidedly premature, thinks the New York Sun. The experience of the German army in China tends to prove that both American and Australian horses are unsatisfactory in that country. They are of good blood and breed, but suffer sadly from the long sea voyage and the luuiccustomeil food, as. uufortun ately, only green forage la usually ob tainable.

Lisette, | what shall we do?" It was a sunshiny day in early July, i with the great clusters of tiger lilies | all in blossom i-i the garden, the cher j ries beginning to turn crimson on the trees, and the roses flinging their sub- J tie fragrance on the air, as if they fan- I cied themselves blooming in some Per sian vale. The thermometer stood at 180 in the shade. Squire Dulcimer's haymakers were dotting the sides of the distant upland, and all the win | dows of the little cottage were wide I open, to admit whatever stray whiffs of cool wiud might be roaming athwart the blue air. And little Barbara had ripped her musiin dress apart, and was sitting, Turk-fashion, on the floor, con sidering how best she might combine the breadths into something more modern, when Lisette. her sister,came \ flying tumultuously up stairs, like the . wild little sprite that she was. j Barbara was small and dark, with ! blue-black braids of hair, solemn eyes, a crimson dot of a mouth, and the prettiest of round, dimpled chins. Lis ette was tall and slender —a sort of human lily, violet-eyed and transpar- I ent-skinned, with shining yellow curls, gathered into a net, with a sweet, bird like voice, not unlike that of a linnet. And these two girls, with their little brother Benny, were all that the old doctor had. He had married late in life, this odd, eccentric disciple of Galen, and lost his wife when Benny was a baby; and ever since tlie young things had grown up by themselves, like the wild roses on the edge of the woods. "Do!" repeated Lisette. "We must go down and set the table; that's what we j must do." I "But there's nothing in the house for 1 iinner!" cried Barbara, tragically I slasping her hands, as she rose out of j ihe whirlpool of pink muslin on the floor. "Oh. dear; oh, dear! Why don't i people stay at home when they aren't j wanted? Who is it, Lisette. anyhow?" 1 ,-v " nnswered Lisette. "Some traveling book agent l suppose, or some sliabby-genteel medical man, from nobody knows where, who thinks he is entitled to come here just because papa is an M. D. I only caught sight of the hack of his coat, but it had a dreadfully seedy | look." "I do think papa is too bad." sighed Barbara. "I was going to have the whole day for dressmaking, so as to look decent at church next Sunday, for Mr. Dulcimer and his sister are coming hack, and one doesn't want to look like a native Patagonian. I was ! going to give papa bread and cheese and a glass of home-made root beer. Papa don't care what he eats. But he's so particular about his guests. And I sent the last half dozen of eggs to the store to exchange for | three spools of sewing silk and a paper of needles, and told Benny to carry the pot of chicken soup to poor old Mrs. Gumbo, who is sick and poor and all alone in the world!" "Charity begins at home," dolorous- I ly quoted Lisette. "Couldn't we catch a fowl?" "As well try to catch a wild zebra of the wilderness," said Barbara. "One would think tney were every one of 'em trained racers by the way they run." "A meat pie?" suggested Lisette. 'There's no meat to make it of," said Barbara, brusquely. "There's the remains of day before yesterday's steak," said Lisette. "We might mince it up fine." "Oh, Lisette—dear Lisette!" cried Barbara. "I'm so sorry, but I gave the steak to a tramp yesterday, between two slices of bread and butter. He looked so hungry, and he said he had had nothing but raw turnips to eat for two days. And when I was looking for white roses this morning I saw the two slices, with only one mouthful bitten out of each, flung into the . bushes. And, oh, Lisette, there was a black bottle beside them. And I'm afraid he wasn't a nice, honest tramp!" "Then that settles the meat pie busi ness," said poor Lisette. "Couldn't we make the white pigeons into fricas see?" "My white -doves into a fricassee?" almost shrieked Barbara. "Oh, you cruel, cruel heartless, marble-soulod thing. Why don't you talk of making me into s fricassee and be done with It?" "Barbara, don't speak so loud!" said Lisette, energetically. "We'll send to Widow Millctt's and borrow for din nor!" "What?" said Burhara, fairly as | founded by the magnitude and origi nality of her young sister's idea. "Send Benny," said Lisette. "Tell her we'll return it next week. Write a note, and say that papa has invited a gentleman to dinner, and that we haven't a mouthful fit to eat in the house. Mrs. Millett is an excellent cook; she always has something nice, i and you will see that this will help us out of our dilemma." "Yes!" sighed Barbara, "but there's • my muslin dross. Why couldn't the man stay awaj until I had modeled it over, like the plate in the fashion mag azine?" "Never mind the fashion magazine," said Lisette, "but run and set the table as fast as you can. And be sure that you put on the very best cups, and re member to turn the cloth so that the darned spot will come under the tea tray!" And down sped little Barbara, with cheeks as red as cherries, and black braids breaking loose from their pins in a confusion of shining jet; while the guest, sitting composedly out up on the porch, had had full time and op portunity to comprehend the entire sit uation. "I seem to have arrived at an inop portune season," said he to himself. "I am sorry now that I accepted good old Doctor Bloom's cordially proffered hos pitality. But I am rather too substan tial to vanish down into a crack, and too real to float up in a puff of vapor, like the genii in the children's story books, so I must just remain here and abide until the end of it. But I'm glad they arn't going to make little Bar bara's pigeons into a fricassee." Three minutes afterwards, whey, little Ben. the youngest of the family, rushed whistling out with a covered basket, he was deftly intercepted by the stranger. "Where are you going, young man?' questioned he, in a low voice. "To the Widow Millett's" said Ben ny, "with a note." "Don't go there," said the stranger. "Go across the woods to the hall, in stead—it is but a few steps further— and give ibis card to the old house keeper there. And hard ye. Tommy—" "Benny, sir. please," explained the lad. "Benny, then—don't let your young ladies know uiat you haven't obeyed their orders. I'll make it all right with them, and here's a silver dollar for you." Benny darted awny. with his face all smiles, and just then up came the old doctor himself, apologizing for having been so long in finding the dusty old volume which he carried under his arm. "But I always Jose track of time when I get among my books," said he. Barbara had just come down stairs after a hurried toilet, which had added a pink ribbon bow to her dress and a cream-colored rose to the heavy black braids of her hair, when she found, Lisette in the little dining room. "Barbara," cried Lisette, "just look here? Is it enchantment that has been at work?" For upon the table was spread a col lation of cold boiled ham, sardines glistening with their fragrant oil, chicken salad, iced sponge cake, white grapes, and strawberries as large as lady apples. On the floor two or three long-necked claret bottles protruded from a pail of powdered ice, and a slender roll of French bread was cut In slices on a napkin In the centre of the board, while half a dozen pates de foie gras, in their metallic cans, stood opposite. Benny's hlg eyes, watching them from behind the lilac bush that shaded the window, grew preternaturally bright as he noted their amazement, and at the same moment the doctor shuffled in, all unconscious of his car pet slippers and carelessly buttoned dressing gown, and ushered his guest into the presence of his daughters. "Here's Mr. Dulcimer, Lisette," said he. "Barbara, little girl, here's our neighbor, the young squire. Dulcimer, let me present you to my girls—Blonde and Brunette, as we sometimes call 'em, ho, ha, ha!" And in the midst of their consterna tion and perplexity, Lisette and Bar bara were obliged to assume the part of gracious and undisturbed young hostesses. They all enjoyed their impromptu lunch in spite of the mystery that sur rounded it; and when Mr. Dulcimer returned to the hall, they all walked half-way through the woods with him. "Do you kno\y, Mr. Dulcimer," said Barbara, with sparkling eyes, "I fan cied you a haughty aristocrat, who wouldn't notice his humble neigh bors at ail!" "I hope you are disabused of the idea now," said the young squire, smiling. "Oh, entirely!" said Lisette. "And believe me," said Mr. Dulcimer, holding Barbara's slim, brown hand In his a second or so longer thanwas ab solutely necessary, "I should never have forgiven myself, if, through any law of stern necessity, I had eaten up your white doves in the shape of a fricassee." And he disappeared into the woods, leaving Barbara and Lisette looking with amazement into one another's "Lisette!" cried Barbara, breathless ly, It is possible that he could have heard what we said?" And then Benny was called into the witness box and made to own up that the elegant luncheon came direct from Dulcimer hall, and things seemed worse than ever— "We arc rightly punished," said Bar bara, bursting into tears, "for our in hospitably. And I never—never shall forgive either myself or Mr. Dulci mer!" But she did. She forgave both crim inals before the young moon, now hanging over the hills like a thread of silver, had widened Into its full shield of luminious pearl. "We are friends." she smilingly ack nowledged, to Mr. Dulcimer. "So far so good," said the young squire. "But may I hope that one day we may be somethig more?" And Barbara blushed celestial red, and said "she did not know." So Mr. Dulcimer leaves the solution of that problem to time. But it is more than probable that the question will be settled to suit him.—Saturday Night. ! GLOVEHAKERS' SECRETS. HOW THEV COVER THE HAND THAT ISi NOT PERFECT. M.i Olnv. Mnnngp-atn roimttint ( I'lunga in hliHileH, 1 11011711 So Slight hm to Krtrupe ('imk i 1 !••! Observers l lie Miigic-lunit Conntuntly U*e Fake Gloves. The work of the glove cutter is not the simple, easy work it is often sup posed to be. An expert can cut only three pairs in two hours. He cuts al ways to measurement, and the gloves he makes are not always the smooth, even production usually known as a kid glove, it is the stock gloves that come in this way, but the man who makes gloves to order has a variety of hands to fit. says the New York Times. In the first place, the expert glove maker. who knows all the ins and outs of the trade, says that every man, woman or child should have gloves made to measure if an absolutely per fect fit is to be guaranteed. There is is much difference in hands as there is in faces, and no one who is particu larly fastidious can buy entirely satis factory ready-made gloves. This is notwithstanding the fact that three lengths of fingers can be obtained in every size of glove and every size is made for both thick and thin hands. But aside from the individuality of the ordinary hand, there are many hands that have unusual peculiarities which must be fitted. There are many people who have one hand larger than the other. One man, for instance, wears a 7 3-4 on one hand and a No 8 on the other. One man has a thumb that is twice as large as the ordinary thumb on one hand, while the other is of normal size. The victim of good living and gout has an over developed linger from that aristocratic disease, and there are people with no fingers at all. All this is in addition to the peculiari ties of hands which have met with ac cidents from machinery, trolley cars, or any of the numerous destructive agencies into wuich the hands may chance to fall. There is a firm up town which, in addition to its regular work, makes a specialty of fitting gloves to hands which are peculiar in conforma tion by nature or accident. In making a glove to order a dia gram Is taken of the hand, as one is taken of the foot by the shoemaker. The work has to be done with great care and the eccentric gloves are as perfectly fitted as the normal ones. The number of gloves that can be cut from one skin depends upon the size and quality of the skin. The finest skins are those of the kid and one skin will make but one pair o£ gloves. It is the kid of the goat from which the skins come. Lamb skins are used sometimes, but while this skin may be soft and elastic, it is not a good wear ing skin. The mere process of making a kid glove is comparatively simple. The skins are bought with the hair on. The first process is the tanning, which leaves the skin white. It is then ready for the dye, after which it is shriveled, shaved, and then it is ready for the cutting. From the cutter the glove goes to the stitcher, who can sew a pair of gloves in from 15 to 20 minutes. Then the glove is bound, the button holes made, the buttons sewed on, it is hemmed and pressed, and the product is ready for the market. A French glove establishment has a manufac tory for all its stock gloves on the other side, and only makes gloves to order here. Gloves are made to order frequently to match certain costumes. The dye ing is a particular work, and requires a careful mixing of colors to get the required shade, but a pair of gloves can be dyed, cut and made inside of three hours. A pair of gloves can bo made to order for as small a sum as $1.50. This is not the best glove, of course. There are few gloves made that vary greatly from the regular stock except as they fit the peculiarities of the hands. People who have such peculiarities of the hands take quiet shades in gloves. Many gloves, however, have been made since the pale pastel shades came into vogue to match them. While there is little variety in the ordinary style of gloves, there is one glove that must al ways be made to order, and that is the monogram glove. These gloves have been used more or less for some time by people who have plenty of money. One of this year's brides had all the gloves for her wedding outfit made with em broidered monograms on the back in place of the ordinary stitching. The embroidery for these gloves cost $2, aside from the cost of the glove, and there are comparatively few people who can afford them. As to their beauty, thero is said to be a groat dif ference as regards the letters. Some letters present a much better appear ance on the back of the glove than others. For instance, the girl who has "A," "H," or "M," for an initial need not hesitate if she has the money, for the gloves with those letters look well on the back of the hand. Gloves are made occasionally with stitching to match some color con trast that appears in the gown or with the contrasting colors In the embroid ery of a monogram. Occasionally a woman brings in jeweled buttons to be put on her gloves, but, as a rule, she will have a pearl or metal button of some kind. To the careless observer, it seems that gloves are always of the same nondescript shades, but the glove expert knows that this is not the case. Every shipment of gloves brings shades that vary a little. Perhaps this is only a shadow of a difference, but a glove bought one month cannot be matched exactly the next. For people who like to know what the future will .ring forth, it may be said that in the matter of gloves, looking ahead sever al months, as the manufacturers do, the suede glove is going to be the glove for spring wear. The manufacturers have tested the public taste as far as may be, and it is for this demand that they are preparing. There is another style of glove that comes to the manufacturers' hands. If the shoes for the theatrical trade come from Broadway, che gloves are a Four teenth street product. Large quanti ties of all sorts and kinds are made for different theatrical productions. These are in all fancy designs and colors. These gloves are for special produc tions. For society plays the gloves are of the ordinary varieties and bought from the regular stock. One pair of gloves made for a comedian were mis mates. The one glove was an ordinary man's glove; the other was (10 inches long. The length of the wrist was worn up the sleeve. In the production, as the man drew off a yard or two of glove, he brought down the house. The magician's marvelous gloves al so come from the regular shop. The ordinary glove which he develops by his art into a mammoth affair a foot long and then contracts to the size of a baby's hand may be borrowed from some one in the audience, but the big glove and the little glove, which are so mysterious, have come perhaps from the very same glove shop, only ' they were made to order. Another feature of the glove manu facturer's work is that, making gloves, he can also mend them. When he says that he will mend gloves he does it somewhat as a guarantee of the good wearing qualties of his gloves. If every one to whom he sold gloves came in to have them mended he would have to give up his regular business and mend only. But they do not. There is about 1 percent of those who buy gloves who bring them back for repairs. It is not expected when they are sold that they will rip or tear, but if by chance they do they are mended, and the mending is more satisfactory than anything that the amateur can do at home. "But to have well-fitting gloves one must take pains to put them on care fully," the glove man says in conclu sion. "Put the glove on slowly for the first time, be sure that all the seams are straight, or, no matter what the glove is, it will never fit or present a really satisfactory appqarance." KEY COLLECTING, The New und Strange I ml of a I'Yminlne Traveler. Key collecting is tue latest fad to at tack young and enthusiastic American visitors to European shores. The ob ject of the craze, luckily, is not preda tory, but artistic, but it is also very insidious in its effects. Indeed, it ap pears that by the time the seriousness of the craze becomes manifest there re mains neither courage nor disposition to combat it. In the Puritan Miss Marie Overton Corbln explains that the first key germ to assail her was in one of the doors at an old London show-place. It was j just a plain medieval iron key. and j was apparently attending strictly to ' business; but it surely was magnetic for she looked and longed, and then and there determined to possess it. Fortunately, the man in attendance, she alleges, was corruptible, and as his love for his queen was so profound that a coin bearing her profile seemed far more desirable than a bit of rusty iron, the matter was soon adjusted. The moment that key was hers its iron entered her soul, and from that day the mania became so dominant that she could not enter a cathedral or any historical buildingwithoutpeering behind the doors to see if the old keys were in their locks. Were any one to ask for a descrip tion of this or that abbey, memory would bo sure to play her false; but let them ask for a description of their keys, and they would receive an ac curate account. No doubt the distinct mental pho tography was born of covetousness, for in many instances the vergers would not listen to entreaties or deli cately suggested bribes, and there was nothing to do but to come keyless : away. The old verger at Shake speare's church, Stratford, was so sus picious after her overtures, that he gathered up every key in siglit, and then followed her closely while she made the usual rounds. Many of Miss Corbin'a specimens, however, were not "annexed," but gathered from the scrap heaps of lock smiths; others passed into circulation through the hands of contractors for the tearing down of famous buildings. A few drifted away from direct lines of descent of family heirlooms and be came attracted to the growing mass in the collector's hands. "One must have an ever-watchful eye and a sort of penetrating instinct to collect keys," she contends. "It is also well to have energetic and enter prising friends —and to exercise a wise and discriminating lack of curiosity as to their sources of supply or methods of workings." Pretty and Novel. The man who wishes to send some thing uncommon in the way of a bon bon box to the young woman out of town, says the New York Times, se lects, if she glories in a beloved ca nine, a dog hamper or traveling bas ket, exactly like the real article, with the dog himself perched on the top with a traveling rug and a shawl. Or if that is rot appropriate, he can send her a small trunk exactly like the big one in which she has taken away her pretty summer clothes, even to a gen uine lock with a key. That is sure to be appropriate, for the woman travel ing can never get away from her trunk. THE GREAT NILE DAM. Importance oT tlie Work That Has Just I'een r IniHhcd at ANKOIIHD. From the ages of the dynasties ot shepherd kings and Pharoahs a "low Nile" or a "high Nile" has meant dearth or plenty In Egypt. In propor tion as the river spread its fertilizing waters in flood times along its banks the crop of the season was assured. IE for one or more years in succession its volume fell short famine stared the people in the face. Imperial Rome depended largely on the granaries of Egypt for the daily bread of her populace, but in her great constructive days she failed to insure the constancy of supplies in grain and other products of Egypt's soil which is confidently anticipated by the ap proaching regulation of the rise and fall of the ancient river. Just two years have passed since A the foundation stones of the great Nile dam at Assouan was laid. It was bed ded on a high portion of solid rock and was placed by the Duke of Cou naught. Across tne river, a mile broad there, the massive wall has been stead- *+ ily built up of ashlar granite, weld ing together the rocks which form the dangerous first cataract. The length of the dam is about GOOO feet. Ks strengtli had to be designed to hold in reserve for purposes of irrigation a great mass of water. When the river is in flood its waters will gush through the massive sluice gates. In the autumn months the sluice gates will be closed until the reservoir thus formed is full and ready to bo distributed by channels over the agri cultural land on either side. When the water is most wanted in August and April for the crops of corn, sugar, cotton and rice the supply in the low er river will be increased from the reservoir,and thus a fairly even sup ply of water will be afforded through out the year. A canal with numerous locks is to be constructed to give pas sage to the Nile steamers and other traffic. Commercially, the value of the dam to Egypt in the future can hardly bo estimated. Its immediate effect, ac cording to the Egyptian government's engineer, will be to bring under culti vation 600,000 additional acres of land. This is in addition to putting certain districts and levels Deyondtheordinary risks of flood and drought. An area of 5,000,000 acres, now in fair cultivation will be converted into land of the first efficiency in crop producing qualities. Over the whole area Sir William Gars tin, the secretary of state for public works, believes the value of summer crops will be increased by as much as S3O an acre. Egypt's resources for growing corn and cotton will thus be immensely enhanced and are likely to bring her forward as a competitor in the world's markets. From the engineering point of view the stupendous nature of the undertak ing will be realized from the effect it will have of creating practically a lake 144 miles long impounding more than 1,000,000,000 tons of water. At some periods of the year, it is said 900,000 tons a minute will gush through the sluices. The dam will raise the river about 65 feet" above its usual previous level. It is broad enough for a car riage road to run along its top. Nowhere else in the Nile valley, says Sir Benjamin Baker, who has carried out the work, were to be found such advantages of site, sound rock, nu merous islands and shallows in which to work. The openings of the sluices are to be lined with cast iron one and one-half inches thick, so as to effectu ally guard against the destruction from the constant impact of large volumes of water at high velocity. The width of the base of the dam has been made such that the pressure on the solid granite masonry will be less than that on any of the other great dams of the world.—Baltimore Sun. Tlio Dtiyn of IJIR Hook*. "The day of big books has gone by," remarked a New Orleans dealer the other evening, speaking of some re cent fine publications. "Up to a few years ago nearly all the art prints and handsome illustrated editions of stand ard works were either folios or some thing almost as large. There's a beau tiful set of Dickens, for instance, print ed in 18S6. The illustrations alone cost fully $50,000 and it represented high-water mark in mechanical excel lence at that period. But look at the size of the volumes! They are almost as big and heavy as standard cyclope dias! At present the tendency is just the other way, and the majority of the really fine books that nre being pub lished arc small and light. The usual cover measurement is from 5x7 to oxß inches, and most of the standard nov els are coming out in that size. One reason why big books' have gone out of favor may strike you at first blush as rather foolish, but I'm assured of its importance by publishers who have made the trade a lifetime study. The big book can't be read in bed. It's too heavy to be held when one is in a reclining position, while the small compact volume can be handled as easily as a magazine. The great, mas sive folios of the old times made nice ornaments for the center table and came in handy for the younger chil dren to sit on at table, but to really read them was a job for an athlete." —New Orleans Democrat.
