The Tlilcil Aide Avliele I'po.i the IliiHot | and Ha Iiilliieii<'cs. |

Di forinin;c onr opinions upon eiirrent ! questions there is a teiideney, ond if is; en(:onrn;;ed by jinrty lenders, to refuse to ; listen to nnytl.iii^r not in neeord «ith tlu’ l present policy <d'1 he p.-irty to which we' belong. .A |ironiinent polil jenl nrtfnnizn-; tion only i few months njro issued n. manifesto in wliieh it wns dis-Inred that, j any in(>niber of their pin ty who rends or otherwise helps to sunportnn opposition jonrnni is nntrne to ids onrty. It is pre- snmpt lions to suppose that nnv party is I always riaht on nil ipiestions and the in-j telli>>eiit, citizen will always be willing to' lu’ar t he ot her side. |

■After an inqiartinl exnniinntion of men and measip*es pro)iose<| and linvinir decided on those which in his jndirnicnt an* desirable it is the citizen's duty to try j and induce others to endorse the snnn’ views. This is not n ilntv of the voter! nloiK’blit intelli:;ent yonnu: men not yet A'oti’i’s and their mothers, sisters nnd I sweethearts eiin use their voice nnd pen; nnd exi’ft no snmil influence in n political ; campnijni. i

If we have don** onr duty so far we ■ shonh] be eom|s>tent toenstnn intelligent' ballot. Tin’s is the means by which the ' voter (’Xiiresses his pri'ferenees for nH‘nns ! office holders nnd also his juiltrmentns to i what inenstires would best eoiidne<>to the I welfare of his eonntry. A'otiiiir is looked j uiion by too nmn.vns sini|ilv n privileire; | it is more than this. AA’hen we think of i The slnikt'iles of onr forefathers, how they ' even jrave their lives to establish n fr*s* country, we should not shirk its duties ami responsibilities.

.As the leinis for whieh onr various officers nnd lejrishitors are elected draws 1 to n close each elector is twiceenlled upon i to cast his vole, first at the primary or ! caucus and Inter at the leenhir election. | Of the two the jiriinuries are certniidy | tin’ most important. “Rinir rale’’ of I which we hi’iir so 111 jeh from eertain lo-j ealilies coti'd not exist to the extent that j it does if f h(* cancns**s were pro|K‘rly at-1 tended. The (’lenient that controlsthese preliminary meetings rales onr country; blit the fjreat majority do not .seem to realize it, for from careful obsm-vation it has b(HMi estimati’d that s<!arcely one in ten of the lejâl voters attend them. The (uincus 1111(1 th(’ eoin’ention proiM-rly com(> under the same lu’iid and at these meetinifs fioth the cnndidnt(‘s for office and the policy of the party are >riv(’ii to the |)(Hiiile. The statement will not be (piestioiK'd that the primnry does not irenernll.v represi’iit the better class of citizenship. This is esiteeially true in onr cities, (itfice holders, otfice seekers nnd professional politicians are always jires- ent and fix thinirs to suit their own selfish purposes. Honest, iiiiriijht men, I be- li(‘V(>, are in tIk* majority in most any community nnd on them ninny times must rest the n’sponsibility of poor^cov- ernT.ent. Good men must attend the cniKUises nnd make an honi’st effort to secure such nction MS th(‘y (’an pndors(’; if they fail in this the only alternative is to bolt the caucus or soiiietimes find themselves Hup|iortiujr a policy thattlK'.v believe to be absolutely wroiit.?. -'Ipu [irofessiiifr to ha\’e a eonscieiice and to be >;ov(’rii(’d then’by should not Ih’ ex- ]M‘ct('d to do this. Tin* jirevailinit doctrine that men are bound in honor to stand iiy the cnnctis or convention of th(‘ir pnrt.v is an erroiK’onsoiK’. Noninn is iimha’ obliijntions to (‘iidorse by his ballot what his jiidi’inent (‘ombaiins. It is true ns a recent writer says, “that the caucus tyrann.v will never end as loiif? us it is imuie a crime to refiisf’ its rule. To whine nbout tin* caucus and tln'ii hound the only ineii who will not submit to its dictation is a lino of luiliticul absurdity too crooked to talk of parallels'’.

.After the primsrics There is the jK’riod of (Irritation nnd discussion jinH.a’cdiiiri: the election pi oper. The citizen who has jierformcd his duty thus far dot’s not ini’d to be remiiuh'il of his duty to vote on this occasion; still there are some r?ood men who speak “of the dirty jiool of politics” nnd stay away from tin’ polls. Tlie excuse. “I’m not n'sponsible.I did not vot(>” will not stand, WehnA’o no n>rht 'o abstain from iiarticipation in politics and the corrupt methods coiii- phiined of would not exist if such men Iiiid always done th(>ir jioliticiil duty.

CIIAI'TKK III.A 8TAKTI.INO ACCUSATION.

“Somcthlng’B wrong!”I’lvul Dalton utterod tho words more

than onco upon tho day that prooodod tho mooting of two precious rogues at tho Uidgoton tavern.

TIjo lieiti haiuis roj)ontod thoni as they cast askanoo giancos at thoir master.

Farmer John was “out o’ sorts,” “in tho dumps,” witii a temper “oxcoedingiy conlrariwiso,” and a face that lowered like a rain-l'ringcd cloud.

All that day ho barely spoke to Kuth; he treated Dalton with gruff Incivility; and woo betide tho laborer whom ho cauglit shirking his duty.

“Wheat’s gone down.”“No; he’s been caught on a l)ad horse-

trade.”",Mol>bo it’s Dalton. Ho’s getting i

ratlior spoony on the girl, and you know Farmer Jolih lias sot his licart on a mateii witli Kalpii I’roscott. ”

Tlioso and like gossipy explanations floated on tho air—all very far from tlio true solution to the mystery of Farmer John’s bad temper, howevor.

Meantime, with Kalph Prescott nursing and developing Ids spite, and Farmer John storing up wratii for a near explosion, tliorc wore two liappy, unconscious souls that saw only gold in the dazzling sunshine, and fancied tlio songs of tho binls tho Hweidest music, in harmony

out several of the bills, and extended them to tho wondering Paul Dalton.

“There’s your month’s pay,” he said, in a tone that grated on Ruth’s alarmed ears until she shuddered. “Take It, pack your traps and go!”

“Mr. Klllott!” cried Dalton, in dum- founded bewilderment, “what does this mean?”

“(io!” snapped tho farmer, savagely. “Ho wise, young man, don’t tempt mo to speak! You know wli^’. I’ve found you out. (Jo, while you may, before 1 forget that you were once honest, once a help to mo. Go!”

"Father, are you mad?" cried Ruth, advancing to Elliott’s side.

“Tills ain’t your place to Bp''ak,” interrupted tho farmer sternly, putting her away with his hand. “Paul Walton, I have no time to waste on you. You’ve heard me—go!"

“Not until I know what this oxtraonll- nary accusation means,” responded Walton llrmly, and flushing with indignation.

“Wliat does it mean!” fairly roared Elliott, losing all control of himself. “You will iiavo the truth, will you? You won’t leave matters as they are? What does it mean? Dare you ask me, in- grate, hypoerlte?”

Ruth Elliott turned frightfully pale, but an indignant flush appeared on either cheek.

“Father!" she cried reproachfully. “Do not forget that Mr. Walton is a gentleman. ”

gentleman!” blazed out Fanner Elliott. “No, I call him —a thief!”

t’lIAl'TKK IV.DKNOl'.NCKI).

The scene that ensued to the wild declaration of Farmer John was a startling tabh au.

Somewhere back in I’aul Walton’s life tliore had been a time when that proud spirit of his would have sprang to arms in a flash, at the touch of the goad of injustice.

His flashing eyes, his quickening breath showed it now, as with clenchedhands ho strode forward, ns if to lay tho

witli hearts vibrating to new and delight-I aiiHxjr t>f tlie daring accusation at his ful emotions. 1 feet.

They loved, these two, Ruth and | Then, with superb control, and re- Paul; they had loved long and purely, I membering that his accuser was thebut in unexpressed fervor. Now, with the revelation of the wliite violets, th«‘ir eyes spoke; a tell-tale flush, an ardent glain'c, a murmured term of endearment brought them to the threshold of life’s 8we<!test, iioliest experience.

If a memory of a false position and a mysterit)us past shadoweil the lover’s heart momentarily he drove it away.

If a thought of the stern will of the erratic grand->ire,of luê stubborn fath<>r, with eyes l)linded to tlie deliciencies of Raljili Prescott, came to Rutli’smind she blotted it out witli a realization of the gr«*at bliss that liad come into her life to oversliadow it all.

So these two golden hearts, with unseen Ijnrriers already placed between tliem, glided on to tlie bitter fate tliat man’s subtlety and the workings of a stern, merciless destiny were weaving for them.

“I’ll not speak,” muttered Farmer John as he enlensl the liouse for supper, “I’ll not make a mistake and accuse an innocent man. I’ll wait once more. I should miss a penny the way I have fixed tilings, ami I’ll watch again. Tlie next thief wlio visits my room gets cauglit.”

He wa4 silent and unsocial all the evening neal. Had he l>een less absorbed in his grim suspicious thoughts of those present, however, he would have noted the lurking figure of Raliih Prescott as lie stole into tlie house and then stole out of it again.

The meal over, witli a ipilek glance at Rutli, Paul Dalton loft the room.

The farmer supposed lie had gone to his own apartment and sat down to read the weekly newspaper.

\t ills task—for it was such that evi'ii- ing, with his mind torn with conflicting doubts—Farmer John moved restlessly, lay down the paper, took it up again, pondered, dozed and finally fell into a nap.

He was aroused nlmut nine o’clock by the entrance of Paul Dalton, apiiarently from up stairs.

A minute later Ruth ajipeared, her cheeks flushed, her eyes vaguely questioning the keen glance her fatlier fastened upon her.

About to ask her if she had been to visit a girl friend on the next farm, John Elliott was interrupted liy the entrance of two farm hands.

They had decided to leave his employ witli Hie morning, and, according to agreement had come for tludr pay.

" better stay in a comfortable liome for the winter, boys,” spoke Elliott, always considerate to his help.

No, tlie men were obdurate. They had quite a little store of savings, and their andiition was to fry the attractions in the way of money-making of tho great, magnetic city.

".\ll right. What do I owe you?” queried the farmer.

“He’ll tell, he’s got it all down Ih black and white,” returned one of tho men, with a nod to Paul, whoso figures never made a mistake in their admiring conviction.

Paul got down tho books and Htat«>fl the amount. Farmer John took out his keys, and, lamp in hand, proceeded to hie ruom up-stairs.

Those lielow heard a startled cry a minute later. Then tho angry tramp of a hurried man’s feet, and John Elliott re-entere<l the room.

His face was white with passion, his eyes were terrible. Absorlied with some overwhelming emotion, ho seemed on the verge of choking.

In one hand, he boro tho lamp, in the other, a roll of bank-notes. Placing tho lamp on the table, trembling like a leaf, a pent-up volcano of rage, ho counted

father of the woman he loved, the young man folded ids arms eulmly and said, in clear, steiuly toni’s;

“Mr. Elliott, you will regret those unjust words. You are laliorlng under some honest mistake. I am no thief.”

Jolin Elliott trieil to crush the sjioakcr with a shiglo look of utter incredulity and contempt.

Then, linn in the conviction that audacious liypocrisy deserved its fate, with moreiless rougliness he told his story.

He had missi'd various sums of nion y for a month past, first a trifle, then quite a large amount.

Some one was in the lialdt of feloniously entering his room and rifling tlie cabinet in which he kept his money.

.\t six o’clock that evening he liad visited his room, assured himself of tho exact contents of tlie cabinet, and had locked it securely.

Since then, no one had gone into the iqiper portion of the house e.xcept the accused.

.\t this statement, Dalton’s lips moved as if to speak. Tlien with a start and a glance at Ruth, lie allowed it to go uncon tradlcted.

When Te w’cnt up stairs to obtain the money for tlie men. Farmer Jolin perceived to his amazement, as he ojn-ned the cabinet, tliat two packages of liank- notes, rejireseiiting nearly four hundred dollars, were missing.

He had entertained grave suspicions of ills superintendent before. Impulse drove him to enter his room. \ disarranged pillow on the bed directivl a search. Reneatli it he had found—one of the packages, tlie one now in hi.s hand.

More than that, on the floor of the room ho lia<l picked up a key. It fitted to the calilnct. Paul Dalton was an ae- eoinplished thief.

"You entered my room to-night,” was the unwavering accusation; “you stole the money.”

“He is innocent!''\ wild, convincing cry, expanding

with the certainty of proof, sentient with the trustfulness of a loving woman’s heart, the wor.ls rang forth from Ruth Elliott’s lips.

Slic knew! OhI with happy, fervent deliglit she realized tho frail rock of certainty upon wliieli her pri'judiced father had erected a stupendous fabric of suspicion.

“(Jlrl!" scowled Elliott angrily, “I told you once that this is no concern of yours.”

“No, it is mine alone,” Interrupted Walton quickly. ‘ Rutli,” he wlilspered tumultuously, “silence! To reveal the truth, in his present moinl, would invoke his deepest anger.”

Witli a moan Ruth Elliott sank to a chair, lier face colorless, her heart fluttering like an imprisoned bird.

Paul Walton hud spoken truly. He was innocent; she knew it. He had not been near his room that evening. A loving tryst at the moonlit glaile hsd filled in those two precious hours, and her lips were sealed, because lie hail bade her be silent.

Rut ho was Innocent. Oh, the Joy of It! Standing there, accused, mute for her sake, her heart went out to him in strengthened love.

“Y'ou mill give up tho other package of money or not, as you choose," spoke Farmer John. “I shall not have you arrewted on account of your past services, but you must leave this house tonight; you must go at once."

“Innocent or guilty?” murmureil Walton.

“Innocent? Does the key show it? Poes hidden plunder show it?"

“I never saw key or mon<jy before. Borne one placed them in my room, some enemy----- ”

“Rah!” scornfully interrupted Elliott, “you have iieard my decision—go!”

“Ho shall not go.”Trembling all over, yet with resolute

face, Ruth stole to the side of her accused lover.

Slie cauglit his hand in her own. Love, unmistakable, unhidden from all the w’orld, spoke in her words, manner, and attitude.

“Are you crazy?” exclaimed her father, staring vaguely at her glowing face, “dlrl!” in a terrible tone of suspicion, “what does this mean?”

“It means that I know him to bo innocent—that, in onoword, I can prove it. He did not steal your money because he was not in the house to-night—he was w’as not ill the liouso to-niglit----- ”

“Ruth—Ruth, silence! Do you iiotsoo that this will anger him----- ”

“I will speak! lie w’as notin tho house, because he met mo at tho stllo. Ho met me there because our troth is plighted, and I love him against all tho world, against all your cruel unjust accusations, ”

Sho flung herself into his arms as she spioke, and fhen, woman-like, her strength, resolution, and defiance vanished, ami she burst into tears.

Into the amazed face of John Elliott blazed a furious rage.

With a cry more like a roar than anything else, he fore Ruth from the clasp of her lover.

Roaring like a madman, ho confronted Paul Dalton, menacing him, anuthenia- tizing him, ready to crush him witli uplifted hands.

“'riilef! Miscreant! Hypocrite!” ho fairly choked out. “Oh! I could forgive a thief of money, but tlii.s—you serpent, with your smooth, wily ways, to steal my girl’s heart—go, 1 warn you, or I will do you harm!”

The two astounded laborers, well knowing Farmer John’s ungovernable temper, pressed Dalton toward the door.

M 1th a last look at the crushed and weeping Ruth, the accused turned upon her fatlier.

“Jolin Elliott,” he spoke firmly, almost sadly, “some day you will regret your unjust accusation—the trutli (oncerning that will come to light soon. As to Ruth, a heart of stone could not help loving hi-r. Y'ou drive me from your door, ruined in reputation and happiness. I will never daiKcn its threshold again until I cun stand before all men, by your own words proven innocent of the hiileous charge you liring against me.”

"That will never be. Iton’t bo in a hurry, Mr. Paul Dalton. I have touie- thlng to say to you.”

Tlio Inqiressivo tableau was rudely disturbed by tlie jeering, bantering words.

Tlie door had opened, ami, his face flushed witli drink ami excitement, liis maievolent eyes glowing with the certainty of a mean and crushing revengo, Rulpli Prescott entered tlie room.

“What’s this'/” thund(‘rcd Farmer John, his brows knit frowningly.

"I’ve heard your talk from tho outside,” explaiiu'd Prescott, glibly. “I’vo heard this liighly indignant gentleman’s liigh-flown talk, too. Ho’s innocent, is he? 'l lien lie’s changed from what ho once was. 'l ime to find liim out, Mr. Elliott—time to get him out of the house where he’s lurked, a hypocrite, a serpent, so long.”

“What do you mean?” demamb'd Farmer John, dubiously.

“I moan,” replied Prescott, his faco aflame with concmifrati'd deliglit and malignity, “that Paul Dalton is worse than a thief!”

"Worse than a thief!” repeated Elliott, excitedly.

“ês, I (liurge liim—and I dare him to deny it—witli being an cx-convict!"

A BEAVER FARM.

I I.Hray(‘tlc’H lloiiif.

'J'ho niatoiiu do Cliavaiiiac is on a ' high hiii, and in tho misty hack- j ground are tiic siopes of Mounts

Dome, Laguet and (’antal. A lovoiy, ' wide avenue at least a mile long leads

to it from Paulhaguct. T'hc avenue ' is ibordercd by pojiiars, a.^h and elm ■ trees, all of whleli were planted by

the (Jem'ial. 'J’lie chateau itsidf is a rather new building, for it stands on

I the place of one that was burned in , tlie eiglUeentii century.

It forms a jiarallelogram, oacli side of wliicli is seventy-five feetdong and witii a height of about forty. Tlie princijial front faces the north, but on cacli side si'veral doors offer easy

I e.xits. The construction lacks elegance, and if it W(*re not for its fine situation, tho lovely site on wliich it stands and Hie aneicni trees that form a sjilendid framework, it would pre.sent a ratlier iieavy iiiiysiognomy. Tlie ground floor is only occuided by kitchens, pantries and wine cidlars;

i the first story is divided into several I fine rooms, and on the upper floor anr

the la'dclianibers, most of wliicli have, liowever, remained unoccupied since IH2!», wlieii Lafayette made Ids last visit to ids native place.

’I'he most imiKirtant room on the first floor is altout forty-two feet long, and lias served in turn for dining hall and ball-room. In it are tlie family portraits, most of them modern, and several bust.s, among which are those of Washington, Franklin, .lean .lacijiics l{ou.-s<*au, Monte.squieu, Voltaire, Ca'sar, Hrutus, Cicero and SiK’rates. The library has perhaps a thou.sand volumes, ami the biMiks still

j bear the “ex libris” of the (Jenend’s arms, and “Cui non’?” his jiroud device. ___

i ’I'liK more we reflect upon the un- spe.'ikable meanness of the man who

I stole a fine overcoat belonging to .a distinguished New Y'ork clergyman while he was preaching to a Chicago congregation the more firmly do wo lieconic convinced that the thief was some bitter and unforgiving St. Louisian who conindtted the act In- order to bring repniach upon Chicago.

A fleorglii Man'it C'lirlou-* but I'roHtable liiiluMli-y.

“Y'ou have never heard of Dick Kilgore’s beaver farm’? Tiiat’siiuei'r. Hut I have always been surpri.sed tliat some of .vou newspaper fellows haven’t been down to write it up,” .said old “Mud Cat” Williams, who has been a fisherman in tlie Southeast Georgia streams for forty years, to a Globe Democrat correspondent.

“Dick’s going to make a pile of money this year,” he continued, “on account of this country and Kngland getting together nnd agreeing to a clo.sed .season in Hehring Sea. Y'ou see, there will not be any seal skins for the market next season, and beaver skins, which make a sjilendiil substitute, will be largely used, and will bring about $10 a skin in New Y'ork.

“Dick has about 200 beavers, young and old, but there arc not more than twenty to be killed for their skins this year. It’s a new industry, an experiment with him, and he don’t want to kill any except the surplus males for tlie presiuit. Hut suppose you gc) out with me and see the farm.”

A drive of ten miles through tlie swamps along Hriar Creek and the Kilgore jilace, or Heaver Dam Hollow. was readied.

“Now, here’s tlie farm,” said Williams, pointing to the creek, acro.ss wliicli every few yards were rougli dams and above them, in tlie almost still water, were mounds of earth, rocks and sticks coming out a few feet above the surface of the water.

THE llEAVEIl.

Kilgore has betui a farmer down here for years, and beavers have been in the creek for all time, but it was not until recently tliat he began to protect and care for them witli a view to m.Aking b(>aver-raising a regular business. It will be a prolltalile business, for tile scarcity of seal skins has increased the value of beavi'r skins, and tliey will continue lo increas:* year by ye:ir. A few years ago beaver skill-? sold as low as $4 por skin, but tliey should now bring at least $10 each.

Tlie beaver is a (pieer little animal. Wluui full grown it wciglis from fifty to sixty pounds. Its hind legs are its principal propellers, botli wlien in and out of tli(^ water. Tiic hind feet are webla'd and the front ones liave claws, which are about as convenient to the beaver as a monkey’s Iiands are to him. 'J’liey ciin carry stones and sticks about in them with easi'. In tiic water, esiiecially, a beaver c;in carry a (piantity of freight, for he ?winis with his hind feet and carries ids load in liis mouth and claw’s.

Just after dark Mr. Kilgore went down to the edgi* of tlie stream to feed the beavers.

“I don’t often fqc.l them in the summer,” he said, “for they get all they want along the banks of tlie stream. 'Phey eat bark off the trees, and at this season tliere is an iibund- ant.’c of fresh, tender bark and grasses and roots. In the winter tliey lay up a !■ ' of food for tliemselvivs alongtlie iianks and in their lioles in the dams wliich they liuild of roots and sticks and stones. I find them nearly all tlie time in winter, wlien tliey flock together and unite in building dams, but in summer tliey scatter— every fellow for liimself—and 1 only call tliem up occasionally. Just cnoiigh to keej) them tame. As tliey are scattered off for miles around, but few will come to a call for food.”

I

iiKAVza itoirSKS.

A bcavcrseeiiis to be almost human in Intidligence. They actually gnaw down young trees, drag them into a Stream and let them float down, swimming with th(*ni to the place they want to build a dam. 'I’lien they will drag stones and roots and

sticks and grasses, and, indeed, every* tiling used to dam a stream, until they have, i»ractically, as substantial a dam as a man could construct. They do this to make the water aliove deep enough to sport in and placid enough to build their homes of sticks and mud, which*are very warm and comfortable in winter, and largo enough for a family of eight or ten. The beaver’s iirincipal tool in building tliese homes is his tall. The tail is a scaly trowel-shaiH-d appendage, alHiut ten indies long and fourorflvo inches broad. The beaver’s main strengtli is in the tall. He can, take up .soft mud oil it, place it against the sticks and stones used to build his home, and pat it down with tho tall as firmly and as well as a man could do tlie work with a trowel. Hesidcs its fur, wliich is thi' main revenue from tlie beaver, it furnislies castoreum, a product used in nicdi- cine.s, and its ilesli is a food that, wlien properly prepared, is delicious.

While Mr. Kilgore lias nevdr yet shipped'any barge number of skins, by next year lie will have .something like 200 or .’iOO. As it costs practically nothing to raise beavers, the business should be a paying one.

A liii.HHiiiii I'rlix'c.“What is a Ku.ssian prince’?” asks a

correspondent of Free Ku.ssia. There are two classes of princes in Russia. Tlie one class form part of the n-al aristocracy of the cmintry. enjoying tlie advantages of immense wealth, and often di.scharging higli civil or military functions in tlie state. 'Ilie other class is 'made up of wliat are known as “thinned-out” princes (zak- hudaliye knyazya), persons witiioiit either landed jiroperty or independent income. Foreigni'rs tend, in their ignorance of Itussian aflalrs, to confer upon the bitter class iJie rank #.f the former, yet tlie “thinned-out” princes are not only not “aristocrats,” but are to be found gaining their livelihood, like otlier common Russian mortals, as ;igents, clerks, tradesmen, and .sea captains, etc.

Senator Morrill was wratliful over the rciiort that had made him out a dead sliot and a confirmed si'eker after game. “Wliy,” said he, “it is .so long since I had a gun in my hand that I do not believe 1 should know the muzzle from the safe end.” “That's nothing,” inter- ji'cted J’rocter. “One of the latest things I ever saw about me .said I was an acconii»islie(l lior.se lircaker, and there was a iilcturc supjio.sed to represent me dei^ked out in a swallow-tail coat and cracking a long whij) at a frisky lior.se that was d.anc- ing around me on its liinrl legs till I looked like a ring master in a circus.”

tnide continue to grow more ghKiniy, says London Figaro. At a general meeting of teamen recently held in one of the Foochow district.s, it was stated that during the last five years the hundred and eighty liouses engaged in the busine.ss lost over $2,000,000. More tlian half of these decided not to go on risking their capital, and arc therefore retiring. It is believed that tlie foreign merchants will benefit by tlie reduced competition.

H. R. Y'oiing and lii.s family were traveling in a jirairie schooner near I’alomas, Mexico, wlien a loaded gun in tli(‘ wagon in front was discliarged accidentally.

CoiiToiiloiit Corn Crlh<(.

WUVAIK tl not scan

linber Is 'arcc, the

pole crib will bo found the most economical. Jn such a pen, if properl}' made, corn will keep as well as in any crib or house that

I can be devised. The pen should not be more than ei^ht feet wide, ami two h'et less width is yet better. The length is determined by

the desired capacity, or the length of the poles to be had. '.riie poles should not be larjrc, and notched only deej) enou>fh to prevent their rolling, nnd to bring them near enough to prevent the corn rolling out; for if the poles are too large, or brought close together, the circulation of air will noi be free enough. Crilis are commonly made too clo.se; although the cracks between the poles be two inches wide, not enough rain to do any appreciable damage will beat in, because the poles will jirojcct out over the crack.s. A foundation may be made by laying large logs on the ground; but this is oblectionable, as the rats will burrow under the log.s. A better foundation is made by .setting blocks in the ground, below tlie line of frost, and high enough to bring the lloor of tiie crib at least eighteen inches above

A I'OI.K rOUN CKin.the ground, so that the corn may not alisorh moisture from beneath and that the cats and t ‘rrier may have a chance at the rats and mice. However, the rats will not infest a crib under which there is plenty of light. >Iake the crib on high ground with enough slope to drain well, taking care that the foundation is level. The tlwr may be made of jiuncheons. Trim olT the slivers from the ujiper side; otherwise if will be a dltTlcult matter to siiovel out the corn. A doorway is made by cutting through three or four of the lower jKile.s, nailing a board against their ends to hold them in place. A dofir is hinged to the outside of the crib, and as the corn is thrown in, boards are placed inside the crib, across the opening. If they pass beyond the opening only an inch at each end, they can be removed easily when it is desired to take out the corn. The rmif is made of clapboanis or of common lumlsT. If boards are used, they should be Just long enough to reach across the crit). and the weights placed on them should be |)Ut on their ends. If the Ixairds project, they will split in from the end to the point wiiere they rest on the crib. Itislietter to weight than to nail the Iniards down, since tlioy mu>t be turned cad) year to avoid warping.

A iK)le pen c;in be made with a driveway in the middh;, which can be u.sed for a wagon or machinery shed most of the year. 'I'he cribs run uj) to the roof, and the drivewav is roofed over into a loft for the storage of lioes, forks, rakes ami oth(*r light tools. The winter months furnish op])ort)inc time for cutting and haui- ing the necessary timber for such a ' structure. !

rariii i>l«r;hln«»ry. |One great advantage which the In- j

creased use of the Ix'st machinery is! to the farmer is seldom spoken of by , the manufactureis, or by the farmers | themsclve.s. IN'rhaps the farmers do ' not realize it, wiiile the makers might think it would hinder, instead of hcliiing, the .sale of their machines if it were known It is a fact that the use of the machine soon makes more careful farming a tkcecssity. 'I'ho scythe could be worked among rocks and.stumps, and along hedge-rows and ditches, and carried through the bogs, but one who wants to profitably use the mowing machine must remove the obstructions ami fill up or drain the places where the horses would mire or the machine plow up the ground. The seed drill is of but little u.se unless a pi'rfect seed tied is made to work it in. The corn planter?, and p<)tato planters that work by horse power, very (lulckJy suggest that

they do the best work when the land is well plowed, am. well pulverized by harrowing, and the potatodlggcrs and bean-i)ulling machines will not work well if the land is allowed to become foul with weeds that will choke up the machines. Much the .same thing might be .said of many of the machines used in the Southern Stales, and others used In the Nortliern States, but enough lias lieen said to show that tlie farmer who lias a llrst- cla.ss machine has got to “live up to it” in tlie otlicr branches of liis farming. _______I’lmillns l*otitlo»ii will! ft Cnrn-plniit«r.

Let a boy sit on each box and drop the jiotatocs in the tubes. They wiil fall in behind the heel of the planter and lie covered as well as corn.—.J. Ik Fuller.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Itnrn J’lilloMoplijr.For twcntv-llvc years and more

have 1 been billed at (he .same jiiace, at the .same hour, andevery day in the w'eck, Sundaynot excepted, to discourse farmeconomy and animal industry in a practical way. My lecture hall, sajM T. L., in the .Stockman, is Invariably at my own barn, among our horsi's, cattle, sheep and swine. That is the proper place in my mind for the farmer to learn the most about the farm and the farm animal.s. 1 keep no hired men but feed all the stock myself, and in that way 1 can save the wages of a man in feed and have the satisfaction of .seeing my stock in good condition. In Hill Nye’s interview with .John L. .Sullivan theipies- tion wasasked: “I)id you ever have twin thoughts born to you and you be puzzled to know which one to adopt, or whether it would not be a goofl plan to bring on<' of cm’ upon a bottle and try letting the other out to double in three years?” Now. wliilc 1 would not think of asking such a (luestion, 1 will just jiut a few pertinent ones. Do you cut your cornstalks for your horses? From thirty to fifty per cent, is .saved by cutting. Do you keep a salt box for your liorses to help themselves at their own gofxl time, and a sejiarate box for the cows, the sheep, and a bunch of salt in the hog jicn? For the horses and hogs .lO per cent, of leached iishes should be used. M'c us(‘d to have sick horses, sick cows, and sicklings before we adopted ihe .salt box .system, but have never bemi troubled in that wav since, jind beside.s, we have learned that cows in milk will make .'10 jier cent, more butter w’hen they have a free run to the the salt box.

WlntBr In Spring.It is possible to keep a cow longer

in milk by having her drop her calf in fall than at any other time, .she is then in full How of milk, and on cornstalks or other dry feed, with some wheat brans or middling.s, siie can be kept to a good mess of milk all winter, and without injuring Ikt bag. M hcn she comes to be turned out in spring on fresh grass, the bran and middlings should be continued, and there will be an increased Mow, probably very nearly as much as the good cow would give if fresh in miik. With good additional feeding when pastures fail, the cow may be made to give milk until nearly the time when she is dm* to calve again, (,'ow.s that drot» their c.ilves in spring cannot thus bo kej)t giving milk the following winter. 1 leifers should therefore be bred .so as to drop tlieir first calf either late in the fall or early in winter, so that 11)0 iiabit of giving milk the year through may bo e>tal>- lishcd.

rnr roni. of I »t In Milk.In the course of some experiments j

carried on at the \'ermont F.xperi- ment .Station for the jairpose of test- J ing cows, the singular fact appears. ; that tlK're is a slight variation in the butter fat as f'lund in the milk taken ‘ at morning and night, showing th-^j greater iiercentage in the morning’s 1 milk. Taking the figures for an entire week and this variat ion every (lay is in favor of the morning’s milk, , although in one instance an increasefl quantity of milk at nigiit gave a little 1 larger aggri'gatc of butter fat than in the morning when tin* |)crcenlage was I larger. 'Fhc fact is of no essential value, but goes to show that there | are proi-csses in nature that secure interesting results.

1Vb« for lenrl.There is no better feed than peas

that can be grown with comparatively little trouble. It is lietter to use old ground, which should be first harrowed to render It reasonably smooth, then sow at the rate of two and a half bushels i)er acre, plowing them in four or five Inches deep; then sow a bushel of oats broadcast, ! harniwlng in lightly, after which use, the roller. The oats assist in supporting the jieas; when nearly rijKJ they may be cut, cured and threshed

and make a good feed for hogs, cattle or horses when ground For use for hogs their fattening qualities are fully as good as corn and by some are believed to give a more desirable quality of pork.

Care of the Citlt'a Foet.The feet of the colt need a grea

deal of attention during the winter. When he is running in the yard or standing in a loose Ikix on a pile of manure there is nothing to wear down his hoofs as they grow out. It is necessary, therefore, to trim them down to the proper shape with a knife and rasp. Some hoofs will be found to have-grown out at the toe, and others at tlie heel. Doth are bad and often result in spavins, wind- galls, contracted feet, curbs or ring bones. Many young horses have un- .sound feet and limb sand their owners think the un.soundness is hereditjiry, while in reality it came from neglect.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Spraylog Friiitn.The Department of Agriculture has

Issued its Farmers’ lUilletin, No. 7, which treats of the subject of spraying, the substances enijiloyed, the means used for the destruction of injurious insects and diseases. The matter is presented in a thoroughly liractical manner and is of especial interest to the orchardist and fruit grower This subject is also treated of from a hygienic standpoint for the j)ur|V)sr of meeting .some of the ot)- jections that arc raised in foreign countries against using fruits that has been grown in the United States. Hut after a careful review of the subject and the study of various authorities, the conclusion arrived at is that no harm can come from the u.se of fruits siiraved with a copper mixture as directed, and that only a small proportion of copper is used in spraying fruits in this country when compared with the greening of vegetables in France, which are imported into Fngland in large quantitie.s.^For the better instruction of farmers w'e recommend them to procure and read this bulletin.

[Now York Sun.]It would bo difficult to measure tho In

terest and comment, not tosuy excitement, which Ihe puhl'shed letter of Dr. K. A. (iunn, which appeared In the papers yesterday. has occasioned. The promlnoiico of tho Doctor, and the unusual nature of tho letter, have both tended to add Interest to the suhjert, and maKO It roatly tho, talk of the town.

I cafiid upon Dr. Qunn at his residence. No. 121 West Forty-aovonth street, yesterday afternoon. 1 found the receptlun room crowded, and It was only tiflor an hour’s Waiting that 1 succeeded in obtaining an Interrlow. '

Dr. Gunn Is a dfstlngiilsbod-looklng man. nnd Impressed me at once by liN manly liearing and air of stncfrity. 1 t'.)ok tho seat he courteously ulTnrod me, and said;

“Are yon aware, Dcctor. of tho commotion your letter has cau.sed?"

Dr. Ounii smiled and lopllod: “Things nut of tboordlnery usually cuu'^n coinmcnt. It Is not a common thing fur i.hyslcfans to Indorse and cordially rocommend inedl- cliics other than thoie In tho Materia Mod- Ica. History la full of In titicesof aiian- tl.*ts who have Indur.scd discoveries tliey tollere to to valualsle, and have been denounced for BO doing, anil yet tiles') saino ijlscovorlcs are blos-lng tlio world fo-dav.I hope I have the munhrod nnd courage to 1)0 true to my convictions, nnd that is why I so openly and mihesltatlngly Indorse Warrior's Safe Cure ns being tho greatest of modern discoveries for the cure of discuses which have hanicd t’u' hlgho^t skill of tho medical profession "

I was Impressed with tho eornestiiess of tho I'OHor, nnd saw thut ho mcuni every wrrd tliat ho stild.

‘‘How long hsvo you known of this remedy. Doctor?” I asked.

“Nearly ton years,” he replied. <‘My at- tonllon'was originally called to the Snfo Curo by a serious csso of Hriglit's disease, which wa.s conslderod hopeless, and yet, much to my siirprPo, under its use tho pUtIcnt recovered. I have tried it In otner cases since then constantly, and my original faith in Its power has boon confirmed. 1 have seen patients recover from innammaiion of the blHildor, gi'nvel. and Bright’s disease when all other treatment had failed, unit I have found it cspociully efficient In all fomalo troubles.”

‘sCau you specify any particular cases. Doctor?” I asked.

“That Is a delicate thing to do,” the Doctor replied; ‘‘but, as I always keep a written record of my cases, I can accommodate you."

Thereupon tho Doctor opened Ills desk and produced his record book. Turning over the leaves he said:

“Here is a cuso of a gentleman who was a great sufferer from Infiaininatlon of tho lilaclder of long standing. Ho had consulted a nun-her of physicians without licnefit When first consulted I myself tried tho usual methods of treatment, but without success, and 1 finally advised him to try Warner’s Safe Cure. He felt better from tho start, and In a few weeks wa.s ent'.ioly cured.”

'J ho Doctor turned a few pages further, and then said:

“Hero Is another case. It Is that of a gentleman who had frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know. Is gravel forming In tho kidneys. He had never l>eon ^ble to prevent these formations, but .after an unusually severe attack I recommended blin to try tho Piifo Cure, which he did, and. although It Is three ye.ar.s since ho took tho remrily, ho has never liad an attack since.”

Tho Doctor continued to turn tho leaves Of his book, and suddenly e.xclalmed:

“Hero is a most remarkable case. It Is that of a lady who had sulTored for some time from Bright’s disease. She hrcaaio cnclente. and iibi ut tho fourth month suddenly became lilind, had convulsions, and finally fell Into a slate of coma, caused by uremic or kidney poison. Hevorul physicians who s.aw her said she could not live, nnd In this view I fully concurrod. As she could still swallow I said, as a last resort, that they might try Warntr's Safe Cure. Tliey did so, and to the surprise of every one she rocovore'.l. She has since given birth to a living child, and Is perfectly well.”

“Those are certainly most wonderful cases. Doctor,” I said, “and while I do not for a moment question their authenticity I fliiould consider It a great favor If you would give me their names. I think tho importance of the subject would fully Just Ify It.”

“In Ihe Interest of other sufferers I think yon are correct.” Dr. (iuiin finally observed, after a moment’s thought. “Hotli the lady arid her husbaml are so rclolced. so grateful over her recovery, tliat I know she Is only too glad to have others hear of It. Tho lady Is Mrs. Kauies. wife of the well-known costumer. She was not only re8U)rod but Is In perfect iiealth to-d.ay.”

I thanked tho Doctor for his courteous recoiitlon, for the valuable Information iin- parted, and I feel assured that his genen»us end hiimaiio nature will prevent him from feelin-gother than glad at .seeing this Interview published for tho benefit of suffering bumaiilty.
