THE FIVE < BY FBANCIS I H ? Englishman turned to his Amorioan friend, and calling his at tention toa guinea that hung from his watch chain, said : "What do you find on that?" The other ex amined the coin closely, and upon ono side of the medallion saw en graved in exceedingly small but dis tinct letters this inscription, "Write P. 0. Box 1001, London." Looking at hiB host he said : "What does that mean ? Is there a story con nected with it?" The Englishman laughed. "Yes, a story in five chapters. Come here and he led the way into his library. "There are the chapters," he continued, opening a desk and pro ducing five envelopes, each containing a letter ; "and I am going to ask jon to read them, for I am sure they will interest you. Bofore you begin, however, 1 will give you the preface to tho tale, or otherwise you would not understand it. In 1876, when I was but a boy, I was sent to Australia to look after my father's sheep busi ness. Much of the time I was obliged to bs in the bush, and when there tho hours oiten hung heavily upon my hands. Ono frightfully hot Sunday ? lay gasping for air under a thorn tree noar my cabin when I noticed some thing glittering in the dust of the roadway not twenty yards distant. After speculating upon whit it might be for perhaps an hour, I mustered sufficient energy to rise from my ham mock and investigate, lt was this coin, but without the inscription you have noted. Returning to my siesta I began to wonder how it came there, for not a soul had passed that way for more than a month, except my own men ; and neither they nor I had any gold. My wonder grew upon itself until nt last it occurred to me how strange a story such a piece of money could tell if it could relate its adven tures, and from that idea it was bat a step lo the inscription and a trial of my fantastic notion. The first time I visited Sydney, I took the coin to a jeweler and had him engrave it as yon have seen. I put the London P. O. box on, for London is known the world around, and 1001 is and always has been my box, ??JsetII5t in Australia or at home. No sooner was the gold prepared than I started it on its journeyings; for I paid it to the very jeweler who marked it. Now you may read the letters." "But, "said his friend, "how does it come that you have the guinea now, if you parted with it twenty years ago in Australia?" "Ab," replied the other, with a smile, "that may be termed the sequel to the story of the letters. Bead those and then I will add that also." The first was written upon heavy paper, in Spanish with the following translation attached : H. S. M. Sloop of War, Infanta. MELBOURNE, Mch. Otb, 1880. .Respected Sin-I have recently received an Eugli?h gold piece which boure the fol lowing words: "Write P. O. Box 1001, Lon don." The same was paid to me some days since by n Malay fruit trader while we were at Batavia, Java. Not observing tho engrav ing until the Malay had Wt the ship I am unable to state whore ho obtained the money. We are about to leave for Barcelona, and should I have opportunity to visit London during my stay ashore I shall do myscUtho honor to personally exhibit the wandering guinea to Box 1001. With great respect, I am, Sir, XAVIOS CABDENZA, Lieut. H. S. M. N. "This comes next," said the Eng lishman ; "you may wonder at its date, and yet you can probably imagine the tragedy that intervenes;" and he handed a rather dingy sheet to the American. The writing was coarse and un formed but evidently in a man's hand, in the German language translated as follows : PBETOBIA. TRANSVAAL, S. A., June 14th, 1882. I have in my possession a guinea, attached to a piece of gold chain, which I think was a w.itch chain. It ls marked Write P. O. Box 1001, London, and so I do. I have had the coin somo three months and received it from a Namaqua nativo with whom I waa trading for ivory on the Molopo River. He was a chief aud wore the thing around his neck. We were together several days, and when I saw the gold piece was a guinea I was curious enough to ask bim where he got it. He said one of his men took it in war from an angra, or West Coast man. I pre sume that fellow got it from some wreck or even from some dead or dying sailor on tho shore. It tbs piece is of any particular value as a keepsake I will send it to London upon request. Write me here. STEIN HUFELAND. I Tho American looked up. "Poor Cardenza! Evidently his ship was lost and the savages robbed his body." The Englishman bowed. "When I received this letter I made search through the marine records, for I was then at home, and four d that in May, 1880, the Spanish sloop of war Infanta was lost off South Africa and no one saved. The lieutenant's body probably washed ashore in the long ground swell which rolls in upon that coast in the spring, and tho Angra man despoiled lt of watch, chain and pendant. Only the gaiuea will ever be heard of again." "Did you writo Hufoland?" queried his friend. "Yes, out of ourtesy, thanking him, and telling him where the coin had started and how it had probably reached him, and asking him not to return it, but to set it on its travels again in the regular course of business. I had no reply to my letter and doubt whether the Boer ever reoeived it. Something more than a year later this third chapter arrived." He handed the American a large, square envelope of rough paper, bear ing the strange postmark, "Irkutc," Maokor Sunt," and the sheet within was headed "Yakutsk." The letter was in English. To the Unknown: Except to drink vodka, attend Greek church and gamble there re mains nothing for a Christian (?) to do in this "heel of the world" but write. Two days since, when paying for some f urs which I had bought from Tunguso Indians, one of them gav? me In change an English guinea, Happening to examine lt later I discovered engraved ia small letters near the head, \ :ONG THE HILLS.

As aa American I have all a Yankee's curiosity, und therefore nm writing. I must insist, however, upon a reply. My personal knowledge of this coln begins only as stated; but when I .'aw the inscription 1 hunted up the native and dragged from him by bribe and Irrigation ali! that he know of the same.

"Quite a characteristic letter. You surely wrote Mr. Harlow?" "Ob, yee," replied the other, "and have still un epistolary acquaintance with him, maintained in a desultory manner ever since. He is now in Washington, in your country, I think. He has promised to visit me should ho ever get to England on leave. Of course how the guinea reached Bussiu from South Afri ia I shall never know.

"Icu see how long a time had passed since the third letter," said the Eng lishman; "six years. I had all but forgotton my golden wanderer when this came ; but yon may know that I wrote at once and ut length to pool Jameson, dying amid the horrible wastes of Lower California. I even wrote twice ; but no answer came, and I concluded that his course was run. Sometimes I remembered the fellow, pitying his loneliness if living; bnt as time passed the recollection slowly faded from my mind, when, two years ago, tho fifth and last of tho scries came to hand." The American took the letter. It was written in a lady's hand, post marked "Cranbrook, Kent, England," dated May 10th, 1832, and ran as fol lows: "Doar Sir: Almost ten years ago my brother Arthur, then a boy of only seven teen, ran away from homo. For a timo ho used to write me and I most gladly replied, for he was my only brother, four years older than myself, and greatly loved. He was nevor quite successful, but always hopeful; and Anally reached the State of California, where I heard from him in the summer of 1837. I wrote him as usual: but his replies were few and far between, and after some months oeHsed altogether. In 1883 our fath er died, und I bagged my brother to come home. I clo not know if he had my letter, but, like all tho rest, this sa l one also re mained unanswered. Sometimes I asked upon the wrapper that the letter should be returned If not delivered. A few came back, while others did not appear, so thut I was therefore left in doubt and could not te'I whether my dear ono lived or not; nor, if he lived, where. i "Atter 1839 I gave up writing, but not hope; but until three days ago I have never had word of Arthur nor known of his fate. Only day bsforo yesterday I received a box from China nddrc?-ei to me,contuinlLg nil my letters and so ne little keepsakes of my dear brother. Thete was also a noto from u friend uud companion ot his, Ned Bacon, which ! told rae of my boy's death in Lower Oali I fornia more than two years ago. "J have been looking over and reading the old letters, and,dear Slr. I found two writfen by vou to Arthur when be was so ill, after he had told you that he had tho marked guinea. Tho coln itself was in the chest, and I now btivo it nnd would like much to keep it as a sacred memento ot my pooi brother. I hnve written you all this brause of your kind, kind letters to tho wanderer, and to thank you from tho bottom ot my heart, both for my mother and myself, for your great sym pathy and moro than friendly words to our boy.

"Again, expressing our warmest thanks for your kindness to our beloved one, I am, very sincerely yours. JESSIE JAMESON. The American returned the letter to his friend. "How strange it all is, or was,"said he, in a thoughtful tone; "starting from Australia the little ooin was in Africa, Siberia, North America, and, finally, England, within the twenty years of its journeyings. But, " con tinued he, with interest, "this lady, Miss Jameson, desired to keep the gold. Did she afterward give it to you?"

Th i commou belief that flax is a wond?rful exhauster of soil has been ubani oned to a certain extent at some of tl o experiment stations. It is worlly of note, however, that in for eign (ountrics where flax is grown ex tensively, intervals of five to nine years are .allowed to elapse between two cops, and in some cases fifteen to eightieu years before flax i3 again growi on the same soil. In the system of ro ation, clover is regarded as a very issential crop, some flax growers claiming it should precede the flax, with 10 intervening crop. A recent Oregoa experiment station bulletin presei ts the following rotation as one oi the best : One, wheat; 2, oats and barley ; 3, clover and grasses ; 4, clo ver an I grasses ; 5, corn and potatoes ; 6, flax The object of the cultivated crops : s to clean the ground of weeds. -New England Homestead. - 11XTRA FE1?DINQ TWIN LAMBS. Not ong ago a farmer remarked that he did not sec much advantage in hav ing ew?B that bred twins. The extra lamb, he remarked, took part of the food n idled for one after the second week, and caused both to be second class, i nd perhaps not worth more than cae in prime condition. No doubt his estimate was correct so far as his jxperience went, but it simply showed that the farmer was not alive to the opportunities which twin lambs gave him. All lambs should bo fed sometb ng besides their mother's milk after tl ey are two weeks old. In the case ol twin lambs this is especially necessary. At first the feed shonldbe of the simplest character and not of a kind ti tempt the appetite. A small wisp of dover hay, all the better if of second- jrowth clover, is enough to begin -nith. When this is eaten greed ily, as i ; probably will be, and after a few day i a gill of whole oats per day, given 1 alf at morning and half at night. To this may be added after awhile t teaspoonful and ultimately a tablespc onful of oil meal per day. "When tl is is eaten without injury add to the ( lover hay ration all the lamb will eat :lean. Ip this way, with the audition of its mother's - milk, two lambs fi om a ewe can be grown with better rt suits than one lamb can which depends only on its mother's milk and what ha, ' it eau pick up while running with its dam. What is moro, twin lambs t ms reared will make thrifty sheep, i nd will be good feeders all their liv a because at no time has their digestioi been injured by being starved < r etinted in their food. PLA rr YOUR TREES IN AUTUMN. All fruit trees, except the peach and all the sn.all fruits except the blaok cap raspberry are best planted in the autumn, and the earlier after the leaves fa 1, tho better. The advan tages of i ill planting may be summed up as foll owa : 1. Nur lerymen have fuller and bet ter stocks of trees in the autumn when the sales begin. The be6t ore sold first, and Inter orders are filled with the material wh'ch remains on hand. Sometimes it is impossible to have an order for certain varieties filled in t 10 spring, all of that stock being sob . There is frequently ob served a r larked superiority in stock received i 1 tho fall. 2. If tr ?es aro properly planted in the early lutumn almost every one is sure to liv 0 and thrive the next sea son, whil ) of those planted in the spring a ;onsiderable per cent, will die the fir it year. The explanation is that dnriiig the warm days of autumn the trees tecome established in their new locati >ns. Having no leaves they do not nte d moisture as they do in the spring. 1 he earth becomes com pacted ab >ut the roots, which form cailusses o?er the cut and torn ends, and even t egin to emit small rootlets before the winter sets in, so that on the earlies ? warm days of spring the youug orchard is ready to start off to make a full growth.. 3. Another reason for fall planting is that the aurseryraonthen have more time to d g and pack the trees, and there is lees liability of errors, which are very provoking when discovered after the lapso of eight or ten years when the 1 ree begins to fruit. The planter,too, has more time to properly do the work of planting, so that all orchards planted in thc cut iran have a better ch mee of -racoeeding. Strictly first-class trees and vines should alwi ys be purchased. Other qualities m ty live, but they will gener ally come to bearing so far behind first-class si ock that more will be lost than is ga ned. To illustrate this: Some years ago the writer purchased a thousand -.bird-class currant bushes. They nearl/ all grew, but failed to fruit the sei ond and third years with any degree of profit, so that the loss was considerable. So with pear and apple trees of the second-class more will dio anl the remainder will be longer in cooling into bearing. Nurserymm often advocate tho planting of very young trees.

The red clover, when introduced in to Australia, grew most luxuriantly and flowered, bat produced no seed The reason for this was the absence of bumble bees-the bumblo bee being the one that does the fertilizing, al most oxclueively, in the red clover Bees were introduced, and the clover seeded in profusion consequently Exactly the same was the case with the apple. _ A Baby Saved by a Puppy. A story of the remarkable cure effected in tho case of au infant child of William McGinty has caused much comment at Long Branch, N, J. Mc Ginty is a prominent member of the American Volunteers. The McGinty baby became seriously ill, and as the usual remedies failed to do any gocd and the little one lost flesh and strength rapidly, physicians were sum mone 1. They said the child's heart was weak and that there wa3 no hope of its recovery. The father was in despair and was willing to grasp at any suggestion which promised the slightest hope of success. Finally a neighbor urged McGinty to place a puppy in the baby's crib at night. "And what then ?" asked the mys tified father. "Just leave the puppy there," said the adviser. "That's all." The baby will gain in strength' Tho puppy wili lose." The experiment was made at once. After two days the baby was percepti bly stronger. On tho third day th? improvement was marked, and the dog displayed symptoms of restlessness and weakness. It lost flesh; the baby gained in weight. As the days passed a little color crept into the child's cheeks and they began to . regain the roundness they had lost The dog continued to grow thinner and weaker. At the end oi ten days the child had apparently re gained its natural health and strength, and the puppy wa3 removed from the crib. The father feared that a relapse might follow ; but there was no sign of it, and to-day his child is seeming ly in the bust of health. The puppy, instead of regaining its strength after being separated from the baby for whose health it had been sacrificed, grew gradually weaker, and. last F.ri night, in spite of unremitting care, it died.-St. Louis Republic. Making Commercial Diamonds. Chemists have recently and in pub lic made actual diamonds, comparable in every respect, save one, that of size, with nature's most valued product. But tho crystals so manufactured have, whilo true diamonds, been so micro scopic in proportions as to be of no commercial value. Now, however, United States Consul Germain at Zu rich reports to the State Department that a Mr. E. Moyatt claims to have discovered a process by which dia monds of larger dimensions may be produced. In principio his process is similar to the ono already used-that is,to crystallize carbon out of iron and steel by means of high pressure and high temperature. Yet thero is an improvement in tho technical oper ation. Pulverized coal, iron chips and liquid carbonic acid are enclosed in a strong steel tube, hermetically Healed and subject to an clcotric current be tween two terminals in the ends of tho tube? Thc iron liquefies, is saturated by part of the pulverized coal, and at the samo time tho liquid carbonic acid evaporate?, thereby creating enormous pressure on the liquid iron and coal. This process considerably increases the dissolution of the coal in the liquid iron. While the mix*- -'?? cooling the carbon cry' ..uzes partly in the form of real namonds and partly in the form of similar stones. These crystals aro released from the ingot by dissolving tho iron in diluted muriatic acid. The mixture by this method re mains under high pressure during the opeiation of the electric current.
