"Nothing, Emily. Let me go to sleep, will you?" For a few moments silence reigned in the sleeping chamber. "Cyrus Winterbottom. there's some body in the house! I hear a noise in the kitchen!" Cyrus sat up in bed and listened. "It's the cat," he grumbled, drowsily. "A cat doesn't wear boots and go around opening doors. Hark!" The baby stirred and Mrs. Winter bottom soothed it to rest again. "I don't see what any body wants to get into our kitchen for," growled Cyrus, with a yawn. "There's nothing to-heigh-ho!--to steal in that part of the house, is there?" "Nothing to stoall There's a plate ful of tarts, a pan of doughnuts and a sponge cake." "Some of your-heigh-ho-your own concoction, Emily?" "Yes, some of my own making. Then there's all the silverware, and--" "He'll never get to the silverware, Emily, if he tackles the doughnuts first. You will find his horribly-distorted body in the morning--" "Hush! Harkl" He listened again. All was quiet. But presently an unmistakable sound, as of somebody moving about on the floor below, aroused even Cyrus' dulled nses. Stops seemed to be approach g the stairway. Cyrus took his re ver out from under his pillow, climbed softly out of bed, went to the door of the room and got behind it, first having cautioned his wife in a whisper to make no noise and leave matters en tirely in his hands. Softly and stealthily came the steps up the stairway, and in a few moments the dim light of the night lamp on the dressing-case fell upon the stalwart form of a man whose face was con cealed by a mask. Mrs. Winterbottom screamed at sight of him, the baby woke up and howled, and before the burglar could recover from the momentary confusion into which this unexpected reception had thrown him Cyrus confronted him with the revolver. "You infernal scoundrel !" he hissed. "Don't you move a muscle or I'll put a ball through you!" The revolver hadn't been loaded for a year or more, and Cyrvs knew it, but the burglar didn't. The pitiful wretch stood perfectly still 'Take off your mask!" sternly com manded Cyrus. The burglar complied. With ashen -face and mean, hang-dog look he stood there and said not a word. Mrs. Win terbottom had recovered her self-pos session, bjt the baby continued to howl. "It would serve you right, you sneak ing, contemptible villain," said Cyrus, i, a deep, tragic voice, "it- I should ashoot you where you stan4. I believe I'll do it, anyhow." - :"Meroy! Mercy!" pleaded the trem ihng wretch. "It's the first time I ever brke into a house. I'll never do it again. Please let me go." " "It's the first time you were ever caught at it! It'll be the last. Down -:on your knees!" "Don't kill him, Cyrus!" begged his w-ife. "Tbink of the carpet!" "Listen,' said Cyrus, coming closer to the kneeling burglar. "Hold up your hand!" -While the fellow's hands were up Cyrus rifled his pockets. He took there from two loaded revolvers, a bowie knife, a dagger, a slung-shot, a bottle of chloroform, and a sand-bag. "Your first offense, is it?" said Cyrus. "For a novice at the business you carry a pretty good kit of tools. Stand upl" The burglar obeyed. "Are you a man of family?" "Yes, sir; 0, please-"-" "Stop your whining." "A look of hard, stern, relentless pur pose, settled on Cyrus' face. lie polited the revolver at the abject scoundrel's head again. "Go and take that baby!" he com manded. "Wh-what for?" "Never mind what for! You go and take that baby!" "Cyrus!" exclaimed Mrs. Winterbot tom, in dismay, "whatdo you mean?" "I know what I am about, Emily. Plick up that squalling infant, you vili. laknl" . The man obeyed. "Handle it carefutllyl" "Yes, sir!" "Now walk the floor with it!" For four long hours Cyrus Winter. bottom held that empty revolver leveled at the head of the miserable man and compeled him to walk up and down the room with the crying, squirm ing infant in his arms. At daybreak the cringing, crawling villain was permitted to sneak away from the premises, a broken-hearted man. His raven 'hair had turned gray in that one night. It was a horrible retribution, but who shall say it was not deserved?

It is interesting to learn from so ac complished an expert in equine pecul iarities as a London omnibus driver of many years' standing that a "wobbler" -is a horse which puts all its feet down at once while engaged in drawing a vehicle at the maximum rate of six miles an hour. How, while observing this attitude, the animal contrives to advance a single step may be compre hensible to persons possessing an ex oeptionally intimate acquaintance with tbhe habits and capacities of a horse. For. r own part we frankly oonfesn that the method of progression thus in diacated is new to us and that a wob bling steed is a freak of nature which we bave not yet been fortunate enough to contemplate iih the flesh. Yet the Sdriver in question ought to know, for he has guided this particular simultaneous "wobbler" throughout an entire decade and can scarcely be mistaken in respect to its special gifts of pace and action.

Some Further Hints In Regard to the Groat Southern Staple. Gathering and marketing the cotton 3rop is the most engrossine work for September. It should not be the only work, however. The sowing of grain and grass should receive a good share of attention, even on a cotton farm. Of these we will speak after awhile. Of the gathering of cotton, the first thing to be said is, that it should be picked as fast as it opens. The reasons are many.. The first is, that exposure after it opens subjects cotton to risk of being blown out by storms, of being soiled by rains, and sometimes of the seed sprouting and the lint mildewing in long, rainy spells. Again, early-picked cot ton weighs heavy, and the farmer who desires to place his cotton on the market early in the season, gains do cidedly. Twelve hundred pounds of seed cotton of the early pickings will make as heavy a bale as fifteen tiun dred pounds of seed cotton will do when picked after it has been open a long time and the season is much advanced. Another reason is, that cotton picked before the leaves have been killed by frost, is cleaner, that is. freer from trash, thai that picked after the leaves have become dry and brittle. Another, still, is, that when one gets behind in cotton picking, it is very hard to catch up again, and all the evils mentioned above increase and multiply upon him. But whilst there are many advan tages in picking cotton as soon as it opens, there is one point connected with it that should be very carefully guard ed. such cotton isusnallydamp-green, as it is called-gins badly, and is apt to make. a poor sample. Much of the lint remains on the seed when ginned; that which is taken off is knapped, and sometimes badly cut, and lience.much of the early-picked cotton that is placed on the market is of very poor quality. Now there are several ways of obviating this trouble. One is to pick and spread on the cloths as it is being picked, so that it may have opportunity to dry that is, substitute cloths for baskets. Another is to provide sc'affolds o; sheets upon which to spread the cotton and give it the needed airing and sunt ning before it is ginned. One rarely has houseroom enough to spread out any quantity of cotton sufficiently thin to got it dried in a reasonably shorl time. Another is to bulk the cotton at it is picked, let it pass through a de. cided heat, and then open up and spread out. When thus managed ii dries off quite rapidly, but the heating must be watched closely, as the lint it liable to be discolored by the oil. ol the seed if the heat is too great. The s.ed musthbe sacrificed, so far as plant ing purposes go, when this plan is pur. sued. Their value for manure will not, however, be at all impaired. In the olden time the practice of bulk. ing cotton was quite general, the object being to give the Tint a shade of cream color; this increased the price in the market. Some one of the above plans for drying cotton should be adopted by every farmer. It is becom ing more and more important every year that the crop b3 nicely handled. Cottons are being much more strictly classified than they used to be and prices graded correspondingly. We hope the small bale, say 250 pounds, will be soon adopted, so that it may be sbore neatly packed and more easily handled. The imperfect mode of cov ering and the careless handling, and ex. posure to mud and dirt, has given rise to the heavy tare heretofore demanded by manufacturers. Now that the question of tare is being discussed, in connection with the kind and weight of bagging used, let us attempt to reduce it in every way by careful handling. With the present prevalent practice of having cotton picked by the hun dred, it is quite difficult to get it picked free from trash. Clean picking might be encouraged by offering a little higher price for that which is picked free from trash. But the most practicable and available plan is to pick out as much of the crop as possible before frost, and before the calyx or leaf, which sur· rounds the boll, gets brittle and adher ing to the lint come. off with it when the latter is picked. Good ginning it equally important with clean picking. Too rapid movement of the saws will cut and knap thelint. It does not pay to be in too big a hurry about ginning. Custom-gins should be pledged not to run beyond a certain speed-the temp tation with them is to gin too rapidly. Good brushes are also very essential in preventing knapping--by keeping the lint uniformly taken from the saws aid not allowing it to gather in wads on them. Attention should be constantly given to the problem of procuring a very cheap covering for cotton. What ever the covering of a bale of cotton costs, it is practicalty lost to the farmer. Even if the manufacturer can sell the covering for something, he will not place it to the credit of the farmer, but pocket it himseff, and at the same time claim full tare for the weight of covering. It is not clear to our mind that cotton is the best material for bag ging, though it may be wise to use it temporarily in putting down the Jute Trust. Something cheaper, and yet equally available for rendering farmers independent of monopolies and combi nations, can surely be found, if atten tion is constantly turned towards it Southern Farmer. PECAN CULTURE A Few Ideas on Pleean Culture by One Who liHus lIs Experience.... The extreme difficulty that has so far been met with in buddingand graft ing the pecan, has made it impossible to produce trees in any thing like large quantities by those methods. I have consulted some of the best authorities in the United States upon the subject; and all agree that pecan trees can be grafted and budded, but that it is too difflcult to be profltabla. Mr. Andrew S Fuller, author of that valuable little work, "'The Propagation of Plants," says: "Propagating the hickories by' budding and graftRg, has neverlbeen practiced with any very great success anywhere." Notwithstanding all the evidence to the contrary, tbhe. time is not far distant when grafted or buddedt pecans will be quite numerous. Not; many years ago it was thought by many good authorities upon horticulture that thls class of trees could not be trans planted successfully, and that the only metho1.ot securing a grove of pecans or hiokories was to plant the nuts where the treoh were wanted in the grove. Upon this point the same authority above qtoted has this to say: '"This very absurd idea has been repeated ahd dissemnated by men holding high po uitions, but who oould ncui possibly have lu! r~,rWsr~ ~ ing or oulilvatinigRsulch rees .I, a theorists ustialljrecomment t. e plant ing of the nut wherethe, trees are. in tended to remain; which is not nosese sary any more than it is to plant the< seeds of our common, fruit trees in.suoh positions." A few advocate these old exploded theories to-day; but the ma jority of people have become well enough acqiuainted with this elass of trees to know that they will bear4trans-. planting as well as many others, and that even trees four or five years old may be successfully transplanted. Itis necessary, however, that they must have been grown on light sandy soil. On such soil -they. can be made to pro duce plenty of fibrous roots, whereas, if grown on hard compact soil, 'the fibrous roots will be lacking, and the chances are very strong, in that case,, that the tree will not bear transplanting. So '. it will be with budding and graftinc. Some one will discover the one thing needful to success, and then seedling pecan groves will become the exception; but until the secret is discovered we must depend upon the seedlings. By a careful selection of choice n u tso planii we may succeed in not going backward. As this industry is yet in its infancy, we may expect groat things for it in the future. There is always ready sale for the nuts, and as they may be kept for months, or even years, without in jury, there is no reason why this in dustry may not yet rival the orange in dustry of Florida. 'A r:an With putibrie enough to wait ten or twelve years for an income, can make no better invest ment than to plant a grove of young pecans. Many a man works hard for twenty-five or thirty years and then has not accumulated ad -much as a five acre grove of twelve-year pecan trees would be worth. When we "learn to labor and to wait," and not grow too impatient for the reward of our labors to come soon, we will not make so many fatal mistakes in our efforts to attain prosperity.--S, I: Bishop, in Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower. SHEEP FOR THE SOUTH. A Future Adjnnet to thi Risecessful tit-. uro of Cotton. With the growth of population and the recognition of the value of inten sive agriculture, sheep-raising as an aid to the cotton planter will doubtless make marked progress. Most of our agricultural methods must be changed, advanced, improved. The soil must be made' more productive; .actrn9r ust be better understood and )utter aplil~ and agriculture, like manufactur\ , will: be divided and subdivided into speci, ties. . Too much money is not put into fer tilizers, but much of it is expended un wisely. Cotton will not makeay for sheep, but by the aid of sheep we will increase our cotton crop to 13,000,000 bales, costing little more than 8,0Si0,000 now cost. American farmers: need to study the. success of the English' and the FrOncb, adopting their discoveries to changbed conditions and to, a widely-differing climate. On a` territory' not gieat er than Ten.iessee, North Caro lina and South Carolina, Great Britain has forty . sheep to our one per acre; but we must remember that on thaI territory she has half as great a population as we avoe in the United States. It is this population which wants mutton;, hence the sheep. Little by little, notwithstanding an enormous protective duty, sheep culture has moved'West; high prices for lands press- the sheep toward the setting sun. Lands in the Central States are given up to more profitable crops than wool. This has been too general a movement and too long conitinued for us to suppose it to be due to local or to temporary causes. But it.may be that 'tho tide is now changing, and that with a growi'ig de mand for mutton sheep-raising may be come more profitable. Let us hope so, for any change' that will add to the money resources of the farmers of the Central States, North and South, will be most welcome. We should be glad to have our readers throughout thO South and West give their experiences with sheep during the past five year, with a statement of the profit and loss account,--Home and Farm.

COMMON-SENSE EDUCATION. From a Lecture by J. H. Kellogg, M. D., B:sttle Creek S;anltarlum. That hereditary tendencies,' inoral, mental or physical,- may be stamp3d' out and the standard oft the race'raised, enlightenment as to matters of heredity' should be widespread, and teachers and lrarents alert to repress.. or develop: as each individual case- may require. .In steadeof allowing achild just to "grow," like Topsy, we should adopt Froebol'~s method, and from'the cradle 'guide end develop each child as an individual,' always taking into account individual peculiarities and inherited tendencies, so that its life may be a symmetrical, well-rounded whole..There must be still room for individuality and the true disciple of Froebel delights in drawing out, repressing only when nebessary. If the same pains were taken in training human beings that is bestowed upon blooded hormes, the advance in the scale would be very marked. Colts are taken ip hand one by'one and carefully drilled according td wbatils xijetp of each respectively for "future ioifuness. They are not gathered in a drove and stavted off together at some word of command which is supposed to meet the case of the average or the iriajority. A horse-trainer would scout such an at tempt, as no training at all. Yet our children are crowded into the large public schools and put 'through a com mon drill which' meets some cases and misses more, where many things of first Importance receive no attention wbat- ever, and in consequence children cul tivate all sorts of deformities. It is the duty of every one to help elevate the standard of public schools, the parents co-operating with the teachers in the education of our youth,morally, men tally and physically. . Children should be under training from the time. they get up in the morn ing until they go to bed at night. The. true system of education leaves ample room for spontaneity but :not for mis chief. Life would be worth so much more to every one trained in this way than it can be in the haphazard fashion usually pursued. One.would not all'the time have to contend against difflicul ties which are the result of education or from some neglect .of education. Every one appreciates this who is in terested in biringing about abetter mode of training children and know the inim portance of studying heiredity from 'this standpoint. Hood and the Bypoeheoodra.
