months. In the meantime, the winter, so far,
has been so mild and pleasant that the busi
ness of fattening animals for the market has
been earned on without the least Interruption
on climatic account, and should the favorable
weather continue three or four weeks longer,
there will be a large increase over last yiar in
the weight, which will largely make up for
the shortage in numbers. The manufacture
of hog product, in the absence of legitimate de
mand for legitimate goods, lias been confined
mainly to the speculative article of mess pork.
Skins can be tanned or tawed, according to
a correspondent of the Cytirier-Jiurinil,M fol
lows: Shave otl' with a sharp knife all flesh
adhering to the skin, then wash thoroughly
with warm water and strong soap both tbe
hair and flesh side of the skin. After being
cleansed, stretch the skin tightly upon a hoard,
with the flesh side up; apply and rub well in
to a composition of equal parts of common
salt and alum. After the composition has
been applied put the skin still on the board
in a shaded place te dry, and when dry rub
with the hand until the surplus composition is
removed and the skin is pliable. It it is de

morning. For this milk and sugar in coffee
are excellent.
It is good for children to have a taste for
sweeteued milk or milk-coffee in the morning.
We must not find fault w ith them if they like
it. Nature very wisely gave them a liking for
sugar; they need it because their pulse must
be quicker, their respiration stronger, to facili
tate the assimilation of food in their bodies,
ami also to promote growth. Not that, adults
need no sugar, but the sugar necessary for them
is formed from the starch contained in their
food. Fur this purpose the digestive apnara.

dren this is not the ca-e; therefore, they are
given HiiL'iir, instead ot the starch to make it

prevailing mostly iiiiihiil' the children ot the
poor, are the consequence of feeding the child
with bread and potatoes; these contain starch,

HIS LOVE WAS TRUE.
A craked hoof can only be repaired by new
growth from the coronet, where the new horn
is secreted. Horn consists of precisely the
same elements as hair, and is really a solid,
compact form of hair growth; the hair of the
skin ends where the growth of horn begins,
and this goes on downward to repair the con
stant wear at the sole of the hoof crust. But a
crack in tbe hoof will always extend up into
the new and weak growth because the horn is
expanded by the pressure of the horse's weight
upon the foot. To prevent this the sides of
the crack must be supported and held together
by some means. This may be done by boring
holes through the horn (in each side of the
crack and putting horseshoe nails through
and drawing the hoof together and clinching
the ends of these nails on each side. The top
of the crack should then be burned across so
as to obliterate the opening and form a solid
starting place for the new growth. The hoof
should be cut soft and elastic by frequent
dressings of equal parts of glycerine and wa
ter. AVtr Yurk Time.

A novel case was heard before 'Squire Wil
son, of East Nottingham Township, Chester
county, I'a., recently. Last spring a tanner of
East Nottingham had thirty clnckeds stolen.
Summer wore away, but no traces of the lost
fowls. A few days ago the chicken-owner vis
ited a fanner in the same township, and while
looking at the fowls on the premises saw a hen
which he thought resembled one of the num
ber stolen from him. lie inquired how the
farmer obtained 't, when a conversation fol
lowed, and concluded by the poultry-owner
saying: "If that chicken comes to me when
I call her by name she is mine." This was
agreed to. "Anuir, Annie," called the owner,
and sure enough the hen came tohim. ".lump

sing for a grain of corn, Annie," called the
owuer. The pretty little hen immediately be
gan to sing in her fowhsh style a solo w hich

rightfully belonged. The thief and pet chick

the story and Annie's solo and sentenced the

Secretary llenshaw, of the Missouri Immi
gration Society, lately received a letter from
gentleman of Fall River, Mass., asking him t
name a county in which from L'U.OOO toJHMHW
acres of land can he bought in a body at J an
acre, professedly for a colony of artisans who
are preparing to leave Massachusetts for the
west. There is some suspicion on the part o:
the Immigration Society that the land is really
wanted tor speculative purpose. Suppose
Massachusetts corporation buys :0,U()0 acre
in one tract, turns it into a single mammoth
farm and places upon it enough men, without
lamilies to cultivate and harvest the crops. Is
such a mammoth farm likely to become
unmixed blessing to the county in which it is
smiated, or will it not prove a continual draw
back to the progress of the surrounding com
munity
School houses and churches are few and far
between where big farms are the rule and
small ones the exception.
A man who owns a utile farm of five or six
square miles drives the school house awav
from his boundary, toward the more densely
populated section ; and the ow ner of a '-forty
alongside the land prince finds himself on the
outskirts of the educational belt. II is rich
neighbor can school his children abroad ; he,
himself, must send his own children trudging
several miles across the prairie. Mammoth
farms are not civiliers; they greatly assist in
money making, hut money-making is not civ
llization. Mammoth farms furnish employ.
ment to many workers, but do not give a home
to more than one family. The men who build
up a new country, or an oki one cither, are tin

bars out home owners from our western prai

Since coffee possesses the quality of siimu-
iaung the nervous system, it is a matter of
course that in many cases its effect is rather in
jurious. Phlegmatic people, especially, need
coffee, and they are fond ot drinking it; tor
a similar reason it is a favorite beverage in
the Orient, where its consumption is immense.
Rut to persons of an excitable temperament
the enjoyment or the coffee is hurtful; thev
ought only to take it very weak. With lively
children it does not agree at all, ami it is very
wrong to force them to drink it, as is often
done; while elderly people, who are in need
ota stimulant for the decreasing activity of
their nerves arc right in taking as much ot it
as they choose.
In householdsof limited means it is open ne
cessary to usechiccory with coffee. e do cot
pretend to pronounce this, if taken in imxkr.l
ate quantity, hurtful; but we do say that it is
a poor substitute for coffee, and that there is
nothing in it to recommend its use. A far
better mixture Is niilK and sugar; and there Is
good reason for it ; both milk and sugar are
articles of food. Milk contains the eame in
gradients as blood ; and sugar is changed in
the body into fat, whicti is indispensable to
us, especially in the process of breathing.
Having taken no food through the night, the
loss our blood has suffered during ilecp by

It was a September morning, clear and sweet
and cool. I was leaning half way out of my
parlor window nailing up some stray red roses
that had drooped with their own weight of
sweetness and beauty from the wall, so that
.should a high wind or heavy rain come up
they were in danger of being broken. 1 was
very careful of my lat late roses.
Summer was over now these queens of the
garden had not much longer to live; I
could count the buds even now; there were
no more than a dozen to open yet, and it had
always been my pride to have' roses still in
bloom until quite far in October.
Why? Oh, well, 1 was a lonely woman,
with few tender human ties, mid such a one
will always feed her heart on w hims and fan
cies. Wives have their husbands, mothers I
have their children, to take pride in. I was a
lonely old maul, you see; a pet dog and a few
sweet red roses sufficed for me.
Was there no other reason why these roses
were so dear? Ah, yes; though only my own
heart knew it, they represented the one sweet.
delusive love-dream of my life. For to all
womanly women love will come; to such as I
only as a bright, unattainable dream ; toothers
happier, more favored hearts as a precious
and glorious reality.
JNwl Hilton had planted this rose tree ten
years ago, on the night before he sailed away.
n e had heen school tellows and menus thro'
all our lives, but I had never realized with
what manner of love I loved him until he was
going away. Even then the knowledge brought
me only an increase ot sorrow for Ned
thought of me but as a sister. 1 was sure: so
many brighter, prettier, younger girls would
have smiled upon haudsome Ned.
1 wasn't a blight or pretty girl by any
means; 1 had a brown skin, anil big, dark
eyes "saucer eyes" Ned himself, when we
were children, had often called them.
I was quiet and demure in my ways, which
made me seem older than my twenty years
and, because I distrusted my own power to
please, and was painfully conscious of mv
lack of beauty, I was shy, and could neve
learn those pretty, winning, self-assertive way
by which other girls commanded admiration
I was cut out for an old maid, people said
and .Neil had said so many a time. I had
grown at last, somewhat sadly but resignedly
io ucneve u.
isui when 1 heard that lie was going aw ay
the salt and savor seemed suddenly taken out
ot my file.
My brother and friend Low should I liv
without him? 1 said nothing to anyone
my sorrow, however, hut made my moan in
secret. Not for worlds would I have had any
one guess how bitter a moan it was, and when
he came to tell me himsell of that which
yet 1 only knew from others, that an uncle had
offered him opportunities there which hen
could not be his, 1 managed to smile cheerful
jy and talk ot his prospects in my usual torn
although at the thought that in a few days the
ocean would roll between us, my heart seemed
really breaking.
My composure deceived even hun, and sur
prised him, too. He looked at me keenly
"Don't you care, Milly ?" he said, reproach
fully. "Such old and true friends as we have
heen, and do yon not care for parting from
me?"
Rut when 1 tried to smile up at him and say
quietly, "Why, of course I shall miss you
Ned," when I tried to say this he saw the
teais that would come into iny eyes, and smil
ed and took my hand ami kissed it, without
my saying a word.
"It won't be for long," he said cheerfully
and confidently. "That's one comfort. D m't
forget me, Milly."
And then he fell into deep thought, still
holding my band, and never seemed to think
about an answer. And I, watching him, and
thrilling because ho had kissed my hand I
began to dream my dream.
I wasn't hanu.iome nor particularly clever
I knew. Was it possible that Ned cared for
me as I now knew I cared for hun, beyond all
tiic world beside? Was love, his love, to be
mine some uayr I. lie grew to he quite-an
other thing with that hope to brighten it a
thing as sweet, and beautiful, and fair as the
red roses.
lie planted the rose tree a little slip only
on the. evening when he bade me good-bye.
JNurse it carefully." lie said, " or mv sake.
Milly. In three or four seasons when it. climbs
up to your bedroom window and is laden with
flowers, I shall he back again. And. Millv.

again."
.Vnd with a heart strangely torn by love ami
grief I promised him.
len years ago!
The red roses had climbed to mv bedroom
window Ioiilt ago, and for the first few years
my hopes had budded and died, iust like the
flowers.
The only difference was that the red roses
bloomed to sweet perfection ere they died,
while my hopes on which the blight of ab-
ence and forgetlulncss had fallen withered
and perished in the bud.
Vtter the first two ears 1 heard no uiure of
.eii, anu grauuany i learned to submit, as
time went on, to the inevitable liat of fate.
Ned's liking for me had been liking only
not love.
My life was to be a lonely one.
It would have been lonely indeed but for
bright May, my pretty, darling sister. She
was my junior by twelve years, and mother,
dying, had civeti her to my care.
I lie cottage was ours, and more than enough
to live upon very cozily, so that life was easy
and peaceful enough "very peaceful.
I had almost forgotten that ( ear old ovo
I ream or at
in at the garden gate, calling to me all the
time:
"Let those beloved red roses go," she cried ;
"somebody wants you, Milly."
AUd i turned, quite leisurely, as a man s
step sounded beside me and there stood my
dear old lriend, Hilton.
The shock si mined me. 1 don't know how
I welcomed him, or if 1 welcomed hun at all,
or if it seemed to him that 1 was glad to see
him. There was a certain constraint upon
him, I saw, and when May left us he spoke
more of her of her beauty and grace, than of
himself or me; that was what made me sud
denly and sternly remind myself that he was
only my dear old friend, and thut while May
was a beauty and eighteen, I was w hat he had
long foretold for me an old maid indeed, for
I was thirty.
It was well that I remembered it in time.
The old fond love woke up in my heart with
such overpowering anguish of longing that
had it not been for that thought, at the very
first, lie might have seen how much I loved
him. Oh, how much my pride rejoiced that I
had not betrayed myself, whru, before he had
been in the village a week, he spoke tome
about his wife.
lie bad opened a branch of his uncle's house
in the city near by, lie told me, and the old
Hilton homestead being his own, he desired
to make it his resilience. "Hi! was quite sure
his wife would like it better than the city," he
added quietly, as quietly as it his words had
not dealt me a hearl stab worse than death.
It seemed so cruel, so hard. 1 had loved
him so well in the by gone days, had built
(and seen ruined) such hopes upon his truth,
had suffered such long heart sickness and pain,
and had settled dow n at last into a cold, mo
notonous contentment, ns far removed from
love nnd bliss as it was from passion and pain.
Why couldn't he have left me to this cold
peacefulness? Why should become back in
to my life once more, to make duty and peace
impossible? The home of love w inch once I
hoped to share with him could never be now;
but need he lmve come here to drive me out of
this dull home? For 1 felt that to live in the
same place with his wile a little village.
where we must often meet would be impos
sible.
1 fretted and brooded over mv grief, and
avoided him, hut he would not he'avoided. It
never seemed to occur to him thai I could sut
ler or c nre.
lie bail forgotten the love of which, when
he went away, he was so sure.
Ah, I knew now how sure he had been of
me, and it niaddeued me to think that, know
ing how I once had loved hun, he should dare
to speak to me of her.
He had the homestead put into exquisite or
der. Men came from the city for the purpose,
i'eople said it looked like a palace.
One afternoon he came to me.
"Will you come and see the home I have
prepared for my wife, Milly?" lie said, very
quietly.
I had just been torturing myself with the
thought of how much he must have ioved her
to make such preparations for her welcoming.
His cool invitation maddened me. L turned
on him in a frenzy of jealous pain.
"W hat is your home to me?" 1 cried. " as
the world not wide enough, Unit you could
find no place hut this to bring your w ife, that
you might Haunt your wedded happiness he-
lore me, whose life you have spoiled and
whose true heart you have broken? Oh, yes,
you may learn from my lips what you know
already. I loved j ou ! 1 would have gone on
loving you to the end if you had dealt gener
ously or honorably with me oh, if you had
only not made me despise you ! Rut your vani
ty tins fed itself on the love you did not prize;
you have gloried in your power to give me
pain. Well, I despise you for it, and contempt
will cure me of love. Why could you not
have said to me, 'Millv, I no longer cute for
you"
He interrupted me, seizing my hand:
"It would have been a lie!" he said. "1 do
care for you, my darling. Milly, I love you
more than ever; 1 have nrver ceased to love
you; I shall love you to the end of my life.
This would have been a much more truthful
speech than the one you dictate to me, and this
is my speech to you: My own sweetheart!
My own true love! Yes, I knowyoulove me;
the red roses told me that my sweet Milly!"
An-1 I was in his arms, clasped to his manly
breast, as 1 never had been bclore. Oh, the
joy of it! j
And yet, in the mulstof my happiness, 1 was
bewildered and afraid.
Your wife:" I cried, struggling in his em-
brace. "Your wife, for whom you made your
home so beautiful "
"My darling, you are to be my wife, and the
homestead is to be yours ah, I thought you
would have guessed that, Millv!"
Then he laughed happily and proudly, too.
"You were too jealous to guess," he said.
Jealousy blinded you. To think that mv h'
tie, shy, quiet 'old maul' should yield to such
a wieked passion as jealousy!''
1 hen I laughed too, hulini' mv face on his
breast the while.
"I was jeaiousof 'your wife,' " I said. "Ncv-
er give me any other rival to be jealous o,
Neil, and I shall be happy."
.Mid a happy woman I am to-day, reigning
at the old liomcstcuil, Ned's dear w ife.

ness, their fragrance, seems emblematic of all

The novel and interesting question whether
a railway dining car is a liquor saloon and
should be required to take out a license for
selling liquors in every village and city
through which it passes, is about to be tested
in the courts. Tho village of Taylorvllle,
Christian county, 111., is uc vlicense town, and
some of its temperance advocates, being trou
bled by the fact that the Wabash, St. Louis &
Pacific company was running through its lim
its dining cars upon which intoxlcatiug li
quors were sold, sent nn officer, who entered
the dining car while the tram was at the depot
and purchased from the conductor a bottle of
beer. The conductor was thereupon arrested
w ithout a warrant, taken from his train and
brought before a magistrate who fined him
b) Mr violating a village ordinance against
keeping an open dram shop. He paid the
fine, but even then had not satisfied the tern
perance people, who caused his immediate re
arrest for violating the state law, and he was
held before the grand jury, which subsequent
ly indicted hun. the railway company pro
poes to test the question thus involved and
has, through the conductor, brought suit in
the I nited States Court at Springfield against
the village authorities, claiming damages to
the amount of jf.i.titni. 1 he question of allow
ing ' traveling dram shops," as dining cars are
styled, has been discussed in England since
the introduction of the Pullman cars, but wc
believe has not been practically raised in this
country heretofore. In England, however,
the objection to the sale ot liquors en route
was not on the score of temperance but was
raised by local inn keepers who objected to
me competition of me railway companies in
the liquor business. It the prohibitionists
should join with the saloon keepers who are
also opposed to liquor selling on hotel cars
they could make the fight on both grounds.

years ago; but, if I did, such tears were apt to

rather than of the proximity of Christmas.
