l^^^^nitle knock eamo at our back door,
iiTowuj WO answered it cn innsse, Ibero on
;\ij.jiered a quiet littlo woman with soft
""?brown hair just touched \vitli gray.
"Toll her to como in and eat her din
ner/' mother had said, when wo roso
from tho table.
But sho had cleared oflf a littlo placo
on tho kitehen-tublo and set a cup and
plate there, and no persuosions would
induce her to como into the dining-room.
Valien hor work was dono sho took hor
pay and went away ns quietly ns sho
came, but sho liad ItjAdO twp promises
ono to little Charlie, our huno boy, that
thc would bring him n gingerbread
horse, and ono to mot her of a recipe for
domestic dye-stuff. All tho week littlo
Charlie frotted for tho wash-lady to
come and bring tho gingerbread borso.
"She will never think of it again,"
mother said to him, and then ho went
into ono of his baby tempers, and cried
out:-r
"Sho will! She will! I know sho will,
'cause .she's n Indy!"
She hud it when .die came on tho day
wo expected her, and I never saw a hap
pier child than Charlie wns. She had
hot ashed him to kiss ber, or moko
friends, but when ho lifted his pitiful,
trembling lips to hors she took him in
her Inp lind kissed thc soft brown curls
and tho white, waxen hands.
"He's a bonny bairn," she said-did
I eny she was a Scotch woman? "an* ho's
unco gude, but he's na lang for this
world."
But mother told hor how much belter
ho WUK sinco wo hud tho cast made for
him, and thc great doctor had straight
ened bis back.
Margie, that was thc namo sho gave
us, said no more hut went out to her
tubs and bent over the steaming waves
all day, and, ns before, finished ber
work neatly and deftly.
This time, ns wo watched ber in hor
neat plaid shawl und tidy bonnet, going
through tho gato on her way borne, wo
all felt as if wo had met with a personal
l0!-K.
"Why not have her come und do tho
ironing?" suggested Sister Julia. But
motlier said sho hud only tho ono day
to givo us; her timo was nil taken up.
"She's other folks' wash-lady," said
littlo Charlie fretfully. "I 'ant her all
thc timo my own soit."
When our neighbor enlim! again wo
told her how much, wo liked Margie,
and sho rotated Bomo of her histo/y. It
appeared that sho had a household:-an
old, feoblo mother, and a weak, invalid
husband, who was mildly demented.
Sho eared for them both, and kopt
.: 'lheir':''v)jn?6l'tal\W/by'tho latfor.of'tior
hands/whilo sho kelped many others1 Vii
small ways, and hy her cheerful, sin
cere life.
"Sho is iii Indy," said mothor cmphati
colly, "a lady in tho truest meaning ol
tho word, and iu its old Saxon sonso,
'lonf-givor.' "
"Queen of two hands," misquoted Julia
appreciatively.
Sh? was our wash-lady for seven years.
By and by abo carno Abd did odd chores
tit times, toole her turn at nursing our
sick, advisod, holpcd, comforted. What
sho was to us sho wns to many other
families in tho village. Tboro nover
was, tboro never could bo, a moro un
selfish creature. When someone remon
strated with her for her devotion to lier
fretful, ill-conditioned husband, and
suggested sending him to an asylum,
&ho answered simply:
"And gang all tho rost of my days
alone? No! Na! I'd bo that lonesome
without tho puir mon, I could na live.
It'? better sae."
But one morning lier "gudemon"
overslept, and in this world wakened
no more. Ono woo followed on an
other's heels. Tho doting old mother
died within a wcok, and Mnrgio was in
deed left alone."
They all-the families who had known
her, I mean-tried to indtlCO Margio to
give up lier littlo homo and go live with
them. It was a selfish offer, butMargio
did not know her own worth; so sho
gave them credit for nil they offered.
But she kept hor littlo home.
"For my ways tiro not your ways. ?
mann be under my oin roof tico." Sho
eaid simply: "I mann livo alone."
But sho was novor alono. It was not
that sho had angolio company, a? sho
well dosorved, butif thooro wns any poor
ne'er-do-well, any lass who had boon
thrust aside, a poor '?fcokloss" baby
likely to go to tho county-houso,
Margio took it homo.
"It maun inst stay feel Providonco
opens a door. '
And Providence opened many a door
for Margie;
It was tho winter after our Oharlio
died-fell asleep with his littlo hands
fast locked in Margie's--that Julia took
ono of her dear, patient hands in hors,
mid said with a pitying inflection of
voice:
"Margio, you're withering away."
"lt maun bo tho soapsuds, tlioy
shrivel my flesh, but thoy'ro gudo and
wholesome tobo in," sho said in hor
quiet way.
But wo soon know that it was some
thing olso that wns stealing over Margio.
We could hoar her singing low ovor tho
washing, but it was no longer of "Olovor
houso" or "Bonnie Prince Oharlio." It
was that swoot and mournful strain,
"Tho Laud of tho Loal."
Ono day sho did not como. Wo wont
to tho littlo homo-it was all in ordor,
but Mnrgio was away to thofcoud of tho
"Leal. Sho was tho oloot lady now.

.UNLESS H lawn is seeded to grasses
that oan omiuro constant mowing, OB
well as a dry season, it hocomes unsight
ly instead of ornamental. When seed?
ed down in tho spring it hocornesat
times necessary to grow oats, wheat or
soino grain crop on tho lawn in order to
shelter tho young grass from tho effects
of tho noonday ?un in dry weather..
This may ho avoided if tho seed is sown
in tho fall, at whioh period of tho year,
th? rains mo usually plentiful, ,t\l\d the
young grass is not so oasily'overrun
with weeda. Should tho grass not make
a good "catch" tho ground may again
ho seeded ovor In tho spring by simply
scratching tho surfaco/wlth a raleo, but
it is seldom that seed' sown in Sop tom
ber fails, if a plentiful supply of seed
bo used and tho ground properly pre
pared.
GRAPEVINES.-Apply sulphur at the
first appearance of mildow, and follow
it up. Wo aro surprised to lind that
sonio well-known poniologists, if they
do not advise, speak favorably of ring
ing tho vines. This is dono by remov
ing a ring of bark a quarter of an inch
wido, or by twisting a wiro firmly
around tho shoot, just bolow tho lower
cluster. This causes early ripening and
iino-looking fruit, but is destructivo to
davor. Most grape-growors, witli sv
conscience about them, look upon
ringing grapes that aro to bo marhoted
in tho light of 'fraud. Horticultural
and similar societies should speak on
this matter.
SOME ol' thu lawns at Clifton Heights,
Pa., aro injured by what appears to bo
d kind of mold, wiiich affects tho
lawns in small patches. ' Tho grass does
not grow, though manured with stablo
mauuro and fertilizers. A correspond
ent desires to know tho cause. It may
bo duo to several cansos, among thurn
excessive rains (especially on clay soils),
disease of tho seed (from rust, etc.) and
frequent mowing if tho grass is young,
lt would bo well to apply wood ashes
and limo on tho grass lalo in tho fall,
and tho samo in tho spring, adding ten
pounds of saltpetre (nitrato of soda) to
one-eighth of au acre. It is doubtful if
tho ditllculty can bo arrested now, as it
is lato in thc season, but a solution of
thc saltpetre should bo tried.
FALL- FEEDINO OV BEES.-A West
ern apiarist well says that tho avcrago
bee-keeper does not Uko tho work of
feeding sugar-syrup to Iiis boos in tho
fall to ensuro thom against starvation,
because of the attention, and, as usually
practised, tho puttering work it takes.
To any such let this word of caution
bo dropped: now is tho timo to prepare
against Having this to do. While honey
is coming In and tho surplus being
stored, ii few brood combs tilled with
honey snould bo removed from your
best colonies and set lo ono side that
they may bc ready to givo to tlioso light
in stores later on. There is probably
no moro satisfactory way than this
method of Fall feeding. It is easily
and quickly done, and does not incito
robbery. _
A SUNFLOWER-SEED SHELLER.
As some of our readers may contemplate
growing a supply ot sunflower seed tho
coming season, they may bo encouraged
to do so by having an implement for
separating tho seeds from tho hoads,
which is usually very tedious work.
"Take two pieces of iialf-inch plank,
sixteen inches long and four luchos
wide: next, two block pieces 2x4 and
six inches long; nail the two blocks be
tween tho ono's of thopianks, then take
half-inch plank and.-uv'^o ono odgo to a
..Y-sUapu;, SOAV- it into ' :-in.c.U lev.xliis,
and put thom into a ijox before mado
parallel, with tho ends about ono inch
apart; nail this to a pjank with a bolo
in.it as largo as tho inside dimensions of
tho box; You can then lay tho ma
chino over a box, hariet or tub. Handle
tho sunflower head, seeds downward,
and rub tho seed off. If tho seeds
aro dry they will como off very fast.
It will rub olT sovoral bushel of seed au
hour.?
Ax OUCH Ano LADDER,-A ladder
for uso In packing fruit is described by a
correspondent of the Cou'ntr y Gentle
man, lt is mado of ono>inch spruce or
good pine, sixteen feet long, and tho
sides tire joined togothor at ono end for
a length of twenty inches, when they
bugin to spread apart. Thrco feet six
inches from tho oud tho sides mo hold
togothor by ti fivo by one-half inch car
riage bolt, holli ends of which aro lot
into tho wood so that thoy will not in
juri? tho bark on tho limbs of tho trco3.
Tho first rung, ton inches long, is placed
twonty inches bolow tho bolt, and tho
last rung is eighteen inches long, thoso
between being of graduated length.
These ladders can bo run up into a tree
and under tho branches nnywhoro with
out injuring tho treo or shaking down tho
fruit. There is no patent on thom,
so that any ono can mako ono for him
self.
FEED rou YOUNO (JUICES.-This

advises a good authority. Too rapid
feathering is tv drain on tho system,
Some var?otles feather up quickly, whilo
others aro almost naked. Feed ground
bono (line) overy day, mixed in with
tho feod. ''Whore wo raise from 0.000
to 10,000 por year wo know by this
timo tho necessity of proper feeding.
Corn and oats ground together ls our
standard food, to which wo add ground
bone, ground meat, charcoal and oyster
shell. A pinch of broad soda (Bicar
bonate or soda) can bo used as a substi
tuto for charcoal.
OXEN aro serviceable on largo farms,
and also in thoso sections whore tho
roads aro nearly impassable in winier,
as thoy can travel whoro a horso cannot
vonturo. Thoy can bo bred for tho
purposes dosired by judicious selection
of tho host breeds for producing quick

will bear tho boat well, travol at a rapid
gait and enduro fatigue. A cross of tho
Dovon with largo nativo stock also pro?
duces excellent oxon, if tho malo calves
aro retained for that purpose.
THERE is no fixed quantity of butter
or cream to oxpectfrom milk. Milk
varios dally, according to tho food and
amount of water consumed. Tho
quality of tho food largoly dotorminos

self varies, and does not givo tho samo

into tho work boforo an estimate can bo
