I know at least one and quite intimate ly. Who? 1 am afraid you would hard ly recognize his name, and besides It would not be just right to give it here. He is only an old bachelor who works in a shop. We has been at one bench for something like—well, from this you may judge: When he began, he was fresh from school. He lives in a little frame house, with an absurd little back yard hardly more than big enough for the syringa bush and the ash bar rel. "The first morning I started for the shop," he once told me, "I cut across the back yard and climbed the fence. I have been doing it ever since, and it has been a long time." In tbe tiny lawn is worn a deep footpath. The top rail of the back fence is smoothly pol ished. His feet wore the path. Ills hands polished the rail. And all these years he has worked at the same bench, doing the same work. Not that he lacks intelligence or that he never had an ambition. Intelligence ho most certainly has, no mean lore of books and a wide, generous grasp of affairs and the drift of things. Ambi tion he had, too, but that was before his feet had worn a path across the back yard. I am quite sure that he once loved. In fact, I suspect that I know the one he loved, and that she loved him. But he never married. She did, though she lias been widowed for a dozen years. But why, you ask, with intelligence and ambition, did he stick to his bench? In an upper room of his little cottage is a window blind which is never opened. Behind that blind, peer ing out through the shutters with un recognizing gaze, sits one who bears the outward form of manhood, yet lacks manhood's mental qualities. The one behind the blind is his brother. Downstairs, puttering feebly about and speaking only in high, thin, querulous tones, is a wan and bent old woman ids mother. For the sake of these two lu? has worn the path in the lawn; for them he put away ambition; for them he stifled the love that once stirred within him. He is past middle age now, thin as to hair, stooped as to shoulders. Yet is there a tenderness in his voice, a cheer ful sweetness in his smile, a patient resignation in his pale blue eyes, that make his manner of such mild gentle ness as you might expect in a saint. From liim comes never a word of com plaint; about bira is no trace of dis appointment, no hint of bitterness. And so, though few know Ids name, though he wears no glittering gauds, though lie goes his way unhampered by pomp or circumstance and all un recognized by church or state, I can not help but count him one of earth's true heroes. Don't you?—Sewell Ford in Brandur Magazine. MONOH and 111 M Hornn. Did Moses have horns? Certainly not, but if you have ever had the pleasure of examining a copy of Mi ch; iel Angelo's great picture of "The Lawgiver" you have wondered why the great painter surmounted the pa triarchal fucc, gray beard and becom ing priestly gown with a pair of horns much resembling those of a two-year old animal of the bovine tribe. The reason is this: Jerome's Bible, the Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses came down from the mountain top his face was "radiant" (rayed) with the great light shining from his pure soul. In the Greek Septuagint the transla tion said it was "cornua," meaning "radiant." Jerome used this later ver sion in making his Latin Vulgate and translated "cornua" as "cornuta," the inst meaning horned. Augelo made his picture accordingly. StraiißPrH Now. "You ought to see the lovely letters my husband writes," said tlie bride of a month to one of her girl friends. "Oh, I've seen a few," rejoined the deer girl friend. "In fact, I've got near ly a trunkful of them in the attic."— Exchange. _ Dr. David Kennedy's favorite Remedy CURES ALL KIDNEY, STOMACH - 1 AND LIVER TROUBLES, Watch the date on your paper. WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence.] There will be a greater number of diplomatic homes at the capital this winter than ever before. A number of the smaller countries represented here which have never maintained legations, or at best simple ones, are branching out this winter Into independent quar ters. The Peruvian minister, Manuel Alverez Calderon, who came to Wash ington last spring with Mme. Calderon and their young daughter and made his home with the first secretary and charge d'affaires and Mrs. De Pezet at their home, ITSO Massachusetts ave nue, now occupied by Secretary and Mrs. Shaw, have leased the home of Mrs. John F. Hurst, wife of Uishop Hurst, ut 1701 Massachusetts avenue, where the legation hendquarters will be established. The Peruvian minister was appointed to his post here two years ago, but has spent little time In Washington. Mme. Calderon was pre sented at the White House last spring. The British embassy is putting on a new and attractive air under the deco rators, and with its ample proportions will be, as it has always been, the most attractive embassy In Washing ton. The house will not be ready for occupancy for some time yet, and it Is likely that Lady Herbert will remain with her relatives in New York until late In the season. The llusslan embassador, it is ru mored, Is to select a new home, but at the embassy nothing Is known of the proposed removal. The German embassador is expected to return here in November, when some changes that will contribute to the success of his social entertainments will be made in the embassy on Massa chusetts avenue. The Italian embas sador and Signora Mayor des Planches have taken possession of their new em bassy on New Hampshire avenue, for merly the home of Mrs. Phebe Hearst. There nre two new titled attaches to the Italian embassy, Count Viucenzo Macehi dl Callere and Count Giuseppe della Gherardesca. Representatives of most of the South American countries are now in Washington and settled for the winter. White llouNe Garden Spoiled. Henry Ffelster, the veteran gardener of the White House, has been driven to despair by reason of the new Im provements. The rose garden on the eastern side of the mansion lias for the past eighty years been one of the most beautiful features of the grounds. Each succeeding mistress of the White House has added to the collection, und these plants have been carefully marked and exhibited with pride to visitors. There were over 1,000 rosebushes in this collection, many of them rare specimens. The eastern colonnade now covers tills beautiful spot, und Mr. Ffelster has been obliged to re move the center collection. Many of the older rosebushes died after trans plantation, and it is doubtful if a spot can be found suitable for their growth. Many of the plants ure now at the propagating gardens nnd at the agri cultural department. The maguificent collection of palms In the White House conservatory has also been scattered. The new green houses, which will be erected at the extreme southern end of the grounds, will not afford accommodation for all the decorative plants, so they will be given temporary homes in the different government buildings until suitable conservatories are erected near the White House. These palms. Sir. Ffelster says, form one of the finest collections in the world. Nearly a dozen of them have reached their centenary, and forty or fifty more have passed seventy-five years. It is feared the change of lo cation will injure these tropical pets. Mrs. Roosevelt lias expressed the ut most solicitude that these palms and the flowering plants shall be kept in the White House, but the architects' plans permit no such provision. Some few palms will be placed 111 the lobby and main hall, but the line collection which added so materially to all the state functions will be absent from future entertuinments. Dinners at the Drltlstl knilmHHr. The list of dinner givers, always u large one at the capital, where dinners play a role In politics as well as in so cial life, will he swelled this winter by the addition of many new names. Em bassador Herbert is a noted Amphitry on. His small dinners when he was attached to the embassy here were fa mous for the clioiccness of the menu, the perfect service and the rare taste shown In selecting the guests. While lie was attached to the embassy in Paris he added to his fame In this re gard and was looked upon as one of the most accomplished dinner givers umong the diplomatic corps ut the French capital. That he will maintain the reputation he lias established when he takes up his residence In Washing ton is not to be doubted, and the din ners at the British embassy this win ter will be a feature of the social sea son. Miss Ilooaevelt'a Street CoilnniM. The street gowns worn by Miss Alice Roosevelt are attracting much atten tion. The president's daughter wears a very smart cloth costume for her morning Jaunts. It Is of a lightweight cloth, a small brown nnd white check, and the cloth clears the ground by at least four Inches. The Jacket Is a Norfolk blouse, with the belt and plaits over the shoulder stitched in rows. Miss Roosevelt is partial to big bats and frequently wears a tan col ored strnw trimmed with black ribbon and feathers. CARL SCIIOFIELD.

The full skirt is gathered to the empire waist, and a wide applied plait down the middle of the front flares slightly near the lower edge and conceals the closing at the tipper left .tide. The fancy shaped collar gives the fashionable breadth to the shoul ders, but muy be omitted if desired. The sleeves are of the two seamed bishop style. Dainty sprigged lawn, challic or cashmere, with tie of liberty satin ribbon, will give pleasing results. —Pittsburg Dispatch. Aprons. As another sign of a reversion on the part of our girls to femininity there is prophesied the return of the apron, long banished to maids' wardrobes and to below stairs regions. Now it is com ing to the fore by degrees, and by the time all Indoor things are In full swing It will be a recognized part of every woman's house uniform. Of course it will be an ornate affair, made of mate rials expensive and dressy and with everything possible done to It to relieve It of its utilitarian aspect. Though it will have strings, no apron is complete without strings for the tying up of va rious persons that like to be held by such means.—lioston Transcript. The TrnnHpnrent Yoke. A very fetching waist that fastens at the buck is of azure silk muslin, having embroidered bands of deep yel low batiste. The novelty of this waist appears in a transparent yoke fashioned of verti cal stripes of narrow black velvet ex- AZCRE SILK MUSLIN. tending from a round band of em broidery at the shoulders to the stock, which is of batiste and muslin. The contrast of the black velvet against the whiteness of the neck Is dazzling, and the waist can be worn with eijual beeomingness by either blond or brunette.—New York Ameri can and Journal. Ostrich Fentlier. Fasti tollable. The picture hats are not complete without ostrieli plumes. They are gen erally seen at their best in black or black and white. The curtain effect arrived at by lace or planting of black velvet Is getting less exaggerated, and women are distinctly tired of the shep herdess shape, either large or small. In reality It suits so few people and it has become too universally adopted by the multitude to be any longer consid ered worthy of attention by milliners. Sheep men living along the west side of the Big Horn basin lu Wyoming are protesting against the proposed en largement of the forest reserve east of the Yellowstone pnrk. They claim thai they will lose a large part of their sum rner sheep range If the reserve is en larged. HINTS FOR FARMERS riKM and Milk. The question often arises, Would it not be more profitable to buy pigs than to raise them? It would be de cidedly an advantage if the supply could be filled with any kind of cer tainty and of a quality that would give full compensation for labor and feed and the risk of buying infectious dis eases could be elimiuated. Is it not true that whoever engages in animul husbandry should become a master eventually both as breeder and feeder? If it Is essential to select a good dairy cow and sire, it Is no less important to select good breeding sows of robust constitution, rustlers at the feeding trough, prolific, docile (most of this last depends on ourselves in humane treatment), a good mother and milker, for like will produce like to a greater or less degree. But we are the model ers of improvement, and when we de velop points by our own management we have a better guarantee that we can perpetuate them. There must be of necessity a system of breeding that will insure a supply of pigs of nearly the snme age for the different seasons in order to have advantage of feeding the byproducts to the young growing pigs. There should be also proper shelter for feeding and breeding, so as to reduce labor, enhance comfort and insure full compensation for food con sumed. We of the northwest ever and anon encounter zero weather and once in awhile 40 degrees below. Clean floors and troughs and dry beds are as essential for sows and pigs as for cows and calves. The hog is by na ture a cleanly animal and never other wise except by force of his untidy master. —Cor. National Stockman and Farmer. Willow Growing;. One of the nicest little side issues possible to a farmer who has a small stream running through his place is willow growing. There is a constant and if anything increasing demand for basket willows, and in many locations the bushes can be grown with little or no expense or trouble. Men who have gone into it, however, on a very small scale as a trial have generally found it so profitable that they have devoted some thought to its details and have become extensive willow producers. The department of agriculture some years ago published a short pamphlet describing the best methods of raising willows and the conditions under which they produce the highest priced reeds. Willows will grow readily wherever the ground is at all moist. Where a man has a small flat which it would be possible for him to overflow by the construction of a cheap or temporary earth dam, requiring perhaps a day's labor with his team, it might pay him to look into the willow production business a little and see if he cannot create an additional industry for the farm without Interfering with the oth er work. The juvenile members of some farmers' families like to try their hand at making willow ware during the winter evenings.—Uuy E. Mitchell in American Cultivator. Storing; Apple*. Apples should be stored In a cool, dry place, saj*s C. B. Barrett. Warmth and moisture cause fermentation and decay. If possible, separate the over ripe ones from those gathered before the ripening process was completed before putting up for the winter. The solid, unripencd apples keep much longer than those which have been al lowed to remain on the tree until fully ripe. But while the keeping quality of the unripencd ones is desirable, the flavor is nevertheless impaired by gath ering when in the best condition for long keeping. If the temperature of the cellar or house is kept even and at the right degree, there is little danger of losing even the ripest of the winter varieties until the early spring months. It would be a good plan to have some of the latest keepers that have been gathered and stored before becoming too ripe reserved for use before the early crop comes. The Hoy Pre**. The farmer who has more liny than burn room will find it a good invest ment to have a hay press, that he may put it into smaller bulk, so that there will be room for it in the barn instead of stacking it out of doors. It will keep better, and if he has any to sell it will be more easily handled and sell more readily at a better price. If one cannot afford to buy a press, let those In a neighborhood who are likely to want to use it unite In owning one. The hay may be stacked until the cut ting and curing is over with if one does not wish to run the press in hay ing time, but the quicker the stack is reduced to bales the better. A Pioneer In Orchard Spraying?. When the time comes for erecting a monument to the pioneers in orchard spraying, Mrs. Mary Deeriug of Or leans county, N. Y., must not be for gotten. This lady bought a full outfit over ten years ago and gave an object lesson to many of her neighbors. Spray ing is now about as common as plow ing on many farms, yet twelve years ago the pioneers were trying to steer through the rocks. It is high time now to begin to give the pioneers full credit, and we shall see that Mrs. Deering has her share.—Bura 1 New Yorker. Farmer* Won.
