Wo have never had a moment's peace since he took possession of this house," do clnred Polly fatten, with a stamp of Iter foot. Tho " ho" referred to was not, as might be supposed, a tramp or a sheriQ's oflicer, no, even a poor rela tion, or nn Irish butler, or. a heathen Chinee. Not iit nil. The object of Polly's wrath was a personage lifted up, as it would seem, by virtue of his position, above human criticism as above human rules, a myth, an un known entity no other, in fact, than the little god Cupid himself. Ho and his machinations had of late wrought changes woful ones, Polly thought in the constitution of tho Patten family; and to her imagination represented all manner of discomfort and discomfiture, the alteration of plans', the blight of hopes innovations and cross-purposes without end. She felt toward him a good, honest, hearty hostility, as one may toward an opponent of flesh and blood, as she sat in her bedroom, in veighing upon the subject to her special friend Susan Gilmore, who was perched besido her on the broad window-sill. " Oh, it's all very well to laugh," she went on; " but just wait till you try it yourself. All last year was given up, you know, to marrying Helen. Her trousseau, and her presents, and her furnishing nothing olso was thought of or spoken of for twelve long months. The house was choked with her things. We all worked our lingers to the bone. Nobody could turn round without find ing a woman and a sewing-machine at her back. We never even pretended to hear ourselves sneak. Well, just as it was all over, and Helen comfortably off our minds, Lizzie must needs set up a lover and a long engagement John Shaw, too, of all persous! Now I may be dull, but in the name of common. sonso why John Shaw, of all men in the world?" " Lizzie knows, I presume." "Well, perhaps she does; still, it Is provoking. Every morning of his life John Shaw looks m for half an hour on his way down town. He and Lizzie absorb the parlor, of course. That is all right, no doubt ; but, as it happens, that particular half hour is precisely the one which I used always to take to tidy up tho flowers, water and trim, fill tho vases, and make the room nice for the day, and the want of it puts me out ureauiuiiy. 1 sit ana twirl my tlmmbH, and scold to mother, and she never will agree with me. 'Lovers are privileged' sliesavs." "Of course thev are. Don't be a spoil-sport, Polly. It's their turn now. Yours will come." "Never! But there's more behind, What do you say to Eunice's indulging in an engagement;, loor ' " Not reallv?" " Very really intleed. John Norman is tno nappy man turn time. J. wo Johns, vou observe, bv wavof makings the con fusion greater. So they sit in the dining room every evening, while Lizzie and her John occupy tno parlor." " And where do the rest of you sitP" " Echo answers. We sit wherever we may. Mother takes her mending basket upstairs, and has a student-lamp on the round table in the upper entry, ' Papa shuts himself up in that dreadful little close 'den of his, or goes to olhco. I observe that he has business there of evenings much oftener than formerly because there is no comfortable place for him at home, no doubt. Jim makes a point of being out. As for Amy and me, we sit on tho back stairs, or in the butler's pantry, or any other odd oorner which nobody else wants." Polly laughed, but there were tears in her brown eyes, and a very mutinous look about tho prettv mouth, which John 1 Norman, while in process of " sampling tho family, ' to borrow roily s own phrase, had once likened to beautiful Evelyn Hope's, of the true "geranium red." "As if all this wasn't enough," she went on presently, with a .half giggle, . half cob, " here is a letter come to-day from Funny Allen our cousin, you know and xhe is engaged, too; and she proposes to make us a visit, and her young man means to ' drop along,' for sooth, while she is here. Now where ara they to sitP I can't imagine, unless ' they take the air-chamber of the f umaoe. The front steps, are quite too oold at this time of the year. Or I might have the tnuiK room cleared out tor mem hadn't thought of that before." "Polly, you are ridiculous. Your cousin will manage all that for herself- ' see if she doesn't. They will take walks, or something. ' "Oh, if they only would! If the whole lot of them would 'take walks, and keep on walking, and never walk this way, how comiortauie it woula be! Sue, you are abominably tolerant about such matters. That miserable cupid! I wish I could hold his wings in the "candle and burn them off. He never Jlies but to do mischief somewhere, How peaceful and happy we air were together before this sort of thing , " Take care; he will hear you, and he's a revengeful creature. I believe liim to be the original 'littlo pitcher with lono' ears .' " hiui'hed Susan. "I don't care if he does hear me," asserted Pollv. deliantlv. iiisCuoid ears? Certain it is thatmat- trs grew worse rather than better for X tmy 11 UIU Hint UUJ lummni I ln came, and in due time her lover, ao- ) cording to programme, and with the lat teracousin, Mr. OthnielOliphaut, asuc- cessful merchant, Just home Irom iiina for a brief visit. His return whs not purely for business purposes. Mr. Oli plnmi was on the look-out for a wife; and with the prompt decision of a mer- cantiln man, he elected Pollv l'atten for that position on a two day's ac quaintance. A firm believer In tho faith that "faint heart hover won fair lady," and "nothing venture, nothing have," he offered himself at the end of the week, and quite undiscouraged by Polly's dismayed "no," sat resolutely down and traced his parallels, resolved to gain by slego what he hail failed to win at n conn by assault. This compli cation set the seal to Polly's discon tents. " For just Imagine what a stato of things it makes," sho told her confi dante Sue. "Thore they sit the three sets of ninnies one In the parlor, one In the dining-room, one in tho 'den,' from which poor papa is turned out bag and baggage; and there is that abomi nable O! 0! (never did man have such suitable initials) looming like doom or thunder-storm all day long, deter mined to get me by myself, nnd ' culti vate my acquaintance.' How can he make mo care for him, ho says, if ho never has the chance to see mo alone? As if I wanted to see him or earo for him either! It is the most embarrass ing, nbominahle condition of affairs. I seriously meditate running away to teach school or something. Home is growing unbearable." v hy do you dislike Mr. Oliphant so much? He seems to mo very pleas ant" Suo! When he teases the lifo out of me! I declare sho is blushing. Are you turning traitor, too?" Not in the least 1 don t know what you mean, that is. What I wanted to tell you was that we'ro go ing to have a young man of our own, also. My brother Jack is coming homo next week." How coherent! I declare, Suo, on mako me suspect something. Jack? He's tho one who's been so long in Germany. Well, 1 hope you'll enjoy him; but pray keep hiiu to your selves, l to had enough ot young men, Johns especially. I never want to see one again as long as I live I think. Gracious! there's that tiresome O. O. strolling up and down in hopes of catching me as I como out. I de clare it is unendurable. Good-by, Sue. I'm going homo by tho back door, if you dou t mind." And catching up her bonnet, Polly vanished, while Susan Gilmore, with a guilty look in her eyes, and pair of red, red cheeks, tied hers on, and, issuing sedately from the front door, encountered Mr. Oli phant, and presently, under his escort, walked up the street. " After all," she thought to herself, " if Polly can't like mm, and doesn't want nun, wnv notr" Why not, indeed? It was unanswer able. Another fortnight passed. Cousin Fanny and her fiance went away, but O. O. still lingered. Polly gave "an ex clamation of despairing disgust when he learned his intention; but, alter all, he did no't prove the nuisance she had feared. Ho had othor friends in town hv this time, other engagements. and did not haunt the Pattens' house every day, and all day long, as at first. Polly heard of him often at the Gil mores'. She saw little of Suo in those doys; Sue was occupied with her brother, just returned after his long absence. Mindful of Polly's interdict, perhaps, she was in no haste to present nm to her friend a tact which 1'oliy was disposed to resent, when, a full week after his arrival, she was at last brought face to face with him. She liked John Gilmore at once. He was quito different from the other Johns, and not at all formidable, Pollv thought tall and spare, quiet in speech and shy in manner, wearing spectacles, too, but altogether very "nice". What a myriad of diverse meanings may be included in that word, beloved oi gins, nice . I In John Gilmore's case it meant that he did not talk nonsense to 1 oily, and yet that he seemed to like the non sense she talked; at least no brightened under it always, and it made him laugh. He never bored her with sense and long explanations, but she was never In his company without finding herself afterward thinking about things which he bad said, and looking up little points of infoimation suggested by his talk. He was so Kinu-neaneu, too always so kind! He didn t sneer at her diatribes against love unu lovers; and he seemed to understand und be a little sorry for her, left out in the cold, solitary in the midst of the sisterly cir cle once so one in interest ana so cioso- lv united. Hero was a genuino friend at lost, sho rellected a friend of her own; and comforted thereby for her losses, she grew a little nioro tolerant of tho happiness of other people; nnd even when a littlo later, a great wave of surprises and sudden changes broke over tho home and all in it, still the tolerance continued. For. first, John Norman had a part nership ofiered him in South America, and he and Eunice had to bo got ready at two months' notice to sail to their new home. And while Folly was toil-1 ing over the hurried preparation, which was all that time made possible, Susan Gilmore, hor one special friend, called one morning, nnd, with a burst of emo tion quite unwonted in the staid Sue, confided the fact that she was en gagedengaged to O. O., who was the loveliest, dearest man that over was, though Polly had been so unkind as not to find it out a fact she (Sue) was very glad of mow and they were to bo married in six weeks, and sail lor China directly afterward. And would her dearest Polly forgive hor, and promise to love O. O. all she possibly could, just for her sake? "Ion, toof was all folly's reply. But she put her arms round Sue's neck, with a tear and a sob, and all was smooth between them. Sue, who had dreaded the interview, was amazed at Polly's forbearance. A change had evidently come over the spirit of her dream. Trials, we are told, have a chastening effect on the character. Was it Eer trials which were thus blessed to Polly? After that, all was bewilderment and confusion dire till the two weddings were over. Eflniee and John departed the day after theirs, and a lull fell upon the weary household. Mrs. Patten went up stairs to lie down. Polly, who sighed for fresh air, departed for a walk with John Gilmore, who missed his sister so much, poor fellow! and Amy, the caddte of the family, pre pared to celebrate their newly-recovered freedom by adorning and making beautiful the dining-room, now rescued from courting purposes, and restored again to the common use of the house hold. A busy aftornoon. Indeed, did littlo Amy make for herself, but it was a merry one, and she sang as she worked. Every vase iu the room she filled with violets and wild (lowers, or apple blooms from the just blossomed orchard. The curtains were pulled toexaetly the ideal I angle, the chairs regrouped, all the hor rid took taken away, Amy thought, as if the room were meant for only two, and for no one else. It was dunk when she finished, nnd. curling up in the sofa corner, she awaited with Impa tience Polly's return Polly, who hail hated tho love-making as much an she had, nnd would bo so pleased! Polly was the one person in tho house of whose sympathy Amy felt quite sure. Shu 'was long in coming, but she came at last. Amy heard her step on the porch, and with it another step, louder, firmer. Surely that tiresome John Gilmore was not coming in to spoil everything this first pleasant night. No; he had come to see papa. Amy heard him tap at the door of the "den," while Polly ran up stairs. He emerged as she cumo down; thero was a long confabbing in the entry; but nt last the front door shut with a delight ful emphasis, and Amy jumped up from the sofa to enjoy the effect of her surprise. " Como in oh, do come in!" sho cried. " I want you to see if the dear old room doesn't look lovely. I've been all tho afternoon doing it, so that it might bo nieo for our first evening. Isn't it pleasant to have a room to sit in again? Aren't you glad that the wed ding is over, and all the tiresome love making, and wo can have cozy littlo times at home like other people? Why, Polly, how queer you look! Don't you like it? What makes you do so?" for Polly, half tearfully, was kissing and fondling the child. "Oh, I do, Amy darling, I do like It very much," pleaded poor Polly, " but only my pet, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed; but John Gilmore is coming hero this evening to see nio, and I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to let us have this room." J"John Gilmore! Good gracious! 'oily Patten" with almost a shriek ,'ou re not engaged to nimr lou don't mean tlutft " Y-e-c-s," faltered Polly. " Oh, Amy dear, don't look so distressed!" "I will look distressed; Ihave aright to," cried Amy, with a burst of sobs. After all you said! A man named John, too three Johns in the family! Oh, Polly! And you who declared you hated men named John! Well, nfter this I never, never will believe in any body again." "Amy, dear, 1 talked a great deal oi nonsense, xou must forget it. 1 didn t know." But Polly urged in vain. Amy pushed her hand aside, and rushed away to console herself as best she might with a hard lit of crying, and Polly, convicted, repentant, but by no menns unhappy, was left behind. So ended Polly's controversy with Cupid. She was vanquished, as Pollys are apt to be in such wariarc; but there are defeats which count for more than victories, as we all know, nnd this may have been one. I regret to say that she never formally apologized for her incon sistency, and she took possession of the dining room every evening without the least apparent perception of the selfish ness of the proceeding. Amy was greatly scandalized, but cui bono') To each his turn. Little Amy s will come some day, and then she too will forgive and understand. Harper's Bazar. Raising Potatoes Under Straw. Occasionally some farmer has great success in producing potatoes by dropping the seed on green sward and covering it with refuse straw, old hay, or other sorts of litter. When this is the case he generally informs the public of his method of cultivating potatoes and for a time it becomes fashionable. Farmers who are not successful in this method of raising potatoes do not say anything about it, and as a consequence the public are in ignorance in relation to the ratio that exists between failures and successes. It is obvious that rais ing potatoes under straw or other litter can never become general tor the reason that sufficient material cannot or dinarily bo obtained for covering the seed. Still most farmers can raise a small patch in this way to excellent advantage. , The best results aro obtained by cutting the potatoes in pieces of suitable size, drop'pingthem on a sod after the grass is a few inches high and covering tliom to the thickness of six inches with refuse hay, straw, orotherrubbish. The addition of well-rotted manure, ashes, and hue soil is an advantage. The rain will oarry them down to the roots of the potatoes. It is not neces sary to drop the ixjtatoes iu rows. The pieces may be placed within a foot of each other, as nocultivation is required. A littlo earth thrown over the straw covering will keep it in place and preserve tho moisture in it. Almost all tho labor required to raise potatoes in this way consists in handling the material employed in covering the seed. Tho turf soons docayes and affords sustenance for the growing'potatoes. The potatoes are very easily harvested in the fall and come out of tho straw almost as clean as if they hud been washed. Another object may be accomplished by planting potatoes on top of the ground. A harsh, tough sod may. be subdued" and brought into a condition to produce good crops another year. A valuable modification of plan of cover ing seed potatoes with straw consists in opening a furrow with a plow, throwing in old hay, straw, forest leaves, or sawdust, then dropping the potatoes, nnd finally covering them with earth. The materials thrown in the furrow are favorable to the forma tion and growth of the bulbs. When mature they are quite clean, and may be dug without bruises or cuts. A mulch is of great advantage in raising potatoes, it helps retain moisture and prevents the young and growing tubers from becoming too warm during the hot weather in July and August. A moderately cool temperature and moisture are essential to the produc tion of good potatoes. Chicago Times. I' m Deadening Nooses of Workshops.

N. Y. Times. Odors in milk and the susceptibility of milk in absorbing them have been subjects of general discussion nt many of our fanners' gatherings. Dairymen aro urged to be extremely careful that there aro no offensive odors in or about tho barn, or agricultural smells in con nection with the dairy room; yet, not withstanding all this, there are still many other sources of offensive odors. Some of these, while not especially of fensive of themselves, aro yet particu larly so when introduced into the milk product. Occasionally a man miiy be seen milking a cow, at the same time engaged in smoking a rank smelling pipe. Tho fumes of tobacco coming direct from the pipe might not be of fensive to many people, yet if perceived in the milk or butter, might occasion well-deserved fault-finding. -V. Y. Dairyman. Flour is peculiarly sensitive to at mospheric inlluences; hence it should never be stored in a room with sour liquids, nor where onions or fish arc kept, nor any article that taints the air of tho room in which it is stored. Any smell perceptible to tho sense will be absorbed by the Hour. Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free circulation of nir cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool, dry, airy room, nnd not exposed to a freezing temperature nor to in tense summer or artificial heat, for any length of time, above seventy to seventy-six degrees Fahrenheit. It should not come in contact with grain or other substances which are liable to heat. Flour should be sifted nnd the particles thoroughly disintegrated, and then warmed before baking. This treat ment improves the color nnd baking properties of tho dough. The sponge should be prepared for the oven as soon as the yeast has performed its mission, otherwise fermentation sets in and acidity results. llurtinyton llawb'tjc. The Life of a Western Editor.
