One morning fair, ray baby
Climbedup into my bed.
And down upon my shoulder
She laid her little i I.
She had her precious dolly
Clasped iu a close embrace;
She told me how she loved it,
She kissed its battered face.
I asked if she couldn’t
For onlv one short day,
Give me her precious dolly
To take with me away.
She slipped her arm around me,
And tears came to her eye.
She battled with them bravely
Aud sweetly said, “I’ll try!
“But, mamma, while my dolly
Is gone away from me,
Is there some other dojly
Whose mamma I can be?”
I wondered if as bravely
My sorrow I could bear
If asked to give my darling
Back to my Father’s care.

The Hon. Mrs. Maltravers. Fraser,
her gardener, ancient, autocratic and
well meaning. Scene, a consei \atorj.
Mrs. Maltravers—lt is very singular,
Fraser, that we shouldn’t have a sin
gle camellia. Now, Sir Francis’ houses
—I saw them only the other day
are full of them.
Fraser—There’s a wulgarity mum,
about camellias as it doesn t surprise
me. Sir Francis—begging your par
don if lie’s a partlckled friend of yours
—should have a heap oof ’em. A
nasty, showy shrub is a camellia, to
mv thinking, mum. As gaudy as you
please for a little, but pick ’em and in
ten minutes they’re as brown as
brown. It’s a hallegorlcal, to my
thinking, mum.
Mrs. Maltravers— Allegorical! What
in the world do you mean, Fraser?
Fraser—Well, mum, it’s this. Sir
Francis’ walet tells master’s walet and
master’s walet he tells me as how
Kir Francis lias lot a lot of money late
ly, and, camelias or no camelias, ain’t
ia rich as you’d think. “Took to the
turf,” Buys master’s walet to me only
very morning. “It’s a pore lookout
for our Miss Lyddy,” says I "as they
are going to marry to Sir Francis, and
I’ll m akc it my dooty to let the missus
Jinow his goings on."
Airs. Maltravers with dignity)—Real
ly, Fraser, you re excessively kind to
busy yourself so much with my—pri
vate affairs. Let me recommend you
to look after your business—which
very sorely needs your attention —a lit
'la more and mine a little less. You
So not know, perhaps, that your can-
Jor is something very like imperti
nence.
Fraser—No, mum, I don’t. I’m that
fond of Miss Lyddy, as I’d do anything
for her. And Miss Lyddy, do she care
tpr .Sir Francis? You take my word
for it, mum, not a jot. Why. when
lie give his grand ball, I meet Miss
X,yddy, and says she to me, “I suppose
I must have some tlowers to wear this
evening, Fraser.” And says I, agree
ing ready: “You shall. Alias. Name
jour flower, Miss, and I'll do it.” ‘‘Oh,
{ ion't care, thank you, Fraser,” says
she, with her smile, only tiredllke.
“It doesn’t much matter. Send me
whatever you will miss least.” Now,
that’s unnatural, mum. My idea is
when a young woman’s in love green
houses and the delientest of plants
and the feelings of hall the gardeners
In creation ain't nothing to her. \N hy,
Alias Lyddy herself, when the captain
was a-staylng up at the house, treated
them pots o’lllies of the walle.v cruel
ly. Lilies for her nosegay, and lilies
to put in her frock, and lilies—which
was wicked—to pin, qute senseless,
on her fan. And all ncause. I suppose,
of the captain saying to her one day—
I heard him. though busy pruning:
“Lilies are your flowers. Miss Mal
travers. I never like to see you wear
any others.”
Airs. Maltravers (frigidly)—You seem
to know a great deal more about my
daughter’s feeling than I do, Fraser.
I must realv beg that you will keep
your information to yourself.
Fraser—No, mum. I can’t. Sorry as
I am to disoblige a lady as has been
always considerate, except for asking
occcaslonal for flowers and cucumbers
out of season, I must say my mind
about Miss Lyddy and Sir Francis.
If Sir Francis were sure of his money,
I shouldn’t have spoke. Money’s a
nice thing, mum. Ilis walet is an hon
est spoken geutleman, and he says to
our Chawls: “You take my word,
Chawls,” says he, “we shall have to
bust up at our place before long.”
And so they will.
Mrs. Maltravers—May I ask If you
are presuming to offer me advice as
to whom Miss Lydia is to marry?
Fraser—No, mum, no, yet, but I’m
coming to It. If you and master ain’t
above listening to an old fellow who
Is nigh upon us fond of her as you
are, I say let lier have her captain,
lie nin’t got much, cooks tells me.
Rot what he has is sure. And film’s
fond of him—which dou’t count for
much In the huppor classes. I'm aware
but is useful, uncommon useful.
Airs. Alaltravers (a little sarcastical
ly)—May I ask, Fraser, *vhit reasons
you Lave for thinking Miss Lydia is
—attached to Capt. Wetherly?
Fraser—Reasons. ilium? There was
Hie hlncident of the lilies. That came
fust. Aud after that 1 seed him. doz
ens o’ times—when you was a driving
in the afternoors, principal—a-sittlng
on that seat near the border which I
was a bedding out. Miss Lydd.v—she
don’t say much. She liaugs down her
prctly head, and a color like one of
them carnations comes into her pretty
cheeks. And she says: “Yes. George,”
and ‘‘No George,” once or twice, un
common soft. And the captain, lie
talk uud persuade her. “You’ll lie
brave, Lydia, won’t you?” and she
says. “You don’t know how I dread
seeing Sir Francis.” “Hang Sir
Francis,” says the captain, and she
cries. “Hush. George!" very gentle and
shocked. Tliut’s how I know, mum.
Aud by tlie way she looked ui him.
with eyes all dim, and soft like
PolUe's.
Mrs. Alaltravers— l think you mean
well, Fraser. I believe you are fond
of Miss Lydia. So that you will be
glad to bear your master and I shall
do nothing—have never Intended to do
anything—to force her inclinations.
You—are—quite sure about Sir Fran
cis’—monetary difficulties, I suppose,
Fraser.
Fraser—As sure ns sure, mum. It’s
been a good deal discussed—in our
class. It Is true, mum, as the upper
housemaid tells Chawls, that the cap
tain is a-staying in the vicinity and
a-purpose to get a glimpse of our miss?
Mrs. Maltravers—Really. Fraser. I
don’t know. We can’t ill be as omnis

Fraser—Well, if he Is, mum, you tell
Miss Lyddy, with my dooty and re

“Yes, sir,” replied the proprietor as

“Now a cigar,” said the stranger
as lie held that match ready to strike.
“Yes, of course,” and the owner of

“Can I write a letter here?” asked
the caller as he puffed away.
“Certainly.”
“Do you furnish postage?*
“We do.”
The stranger stepped to the desk,
wrote a brief letter and sealed, direct

“Perhaps you could furnish a boy to

“Certainly, sir. Here, James, take

POISON SUMAC.
It la Easy to Dlatlnffnlah it at Aay
Season
The sumac is one of the most entic
ing of poisonous shrubs, for its leaves
are not only brilliant, but they press
so beautifully, retaining much of their
color aud always their graceful shape.
It la particularly dangerous because
there is a variety of the same plant
which Is harmless. Bear in mind that
poison sumac is fouud on the edge of
marshy places. It has greenish white
flowers growing from the axils of the
leaves. The harmless sumac has deep
red pyramidal clusters.
Bloomers aa Fire-Escapes.
Ladies who ride cycles appear to be
pretty evenly divided on the question
whether a short skirt or knickerbocker
is the most rational dress for Uielr pas
time, but an Incident which occurred
last night outside a newspaper office
points to the suitability of the latter.
There Is a custom which Is general
here of carrying at night a paper Ve
netian lantern within the spokes of the
wheel instead of a regulation lamp.
One young woman has found that the
plan may be pretty, but it is danger
ous. She came into contact with the
curb, upset the machine, aud the can
dle in the lantern set her skirts alight,
and there was a rush on the part of
gallant pedestrians to put the flames
out, which were, happily, extinguished
before much damage was done, except
to the lady’s knees. “Had I worn
knickerbockers,” she said, “I should
have come to no harm.”—Paris Letter

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Soma Up-to-Date Hint* About Cultiva

culture.
-cs 7 N a report of the
//) j Kansas State Board
mm///J ! of Agriculture, as
]' -/l 7 Quoted in an ex
( cban S e > 11 Is Baid
I Smtzv I that buried » P°*
\ tatoes must be cov
c ered lightly at first,
and the covering
/ added from time to
/ time, but only
enough to protect
the tubers from frost. This is the most
unsatisfactory and expensive way of
storing potatoes. The next worse is a
cellar under a building. The most sat
isfactory and cheapest way is to store
in a dug-out. In most Kansas soils,
no walls but the dirt walls are needed.
The roof will be of earth over poles
and brush. In wet weather such a roof
will leak unless covored with boards,
corn stalks, straw or other covering.
The best location will be a slope or
bank facing south. By leaving an al
ley through the center of the dugout,
with plenty of large ventilator shafts
through the roof, a brisk circulation
will be set up whenever the door in the
end is opened—particularly where the
door opens on the level, as it will if
the building is dug in the side of a
bank. The trouble with a cellar under
a building is to give it air enough.
The dug-out should be built with a
bin on each side of a central alley. The
bottom of the bins should be raised six
inches from the ground. Both the bot
tom and sides are best made of fence
boards, with inch spaces between. The
sides of the bins should be clear of
contact with the walls, whether stone
or dirt. Spouts should be placed at
intervals through the roof at the
outside of the bins, through which to
pour down the potatoes into the cellar.
Such a building, carefully managed as
to ventilation, opened up on frosty
nights and kept closed during the
warm days of fall and early winter,
will take Early Ohio potatoes through
to spring without a sprout. Early
Rose, Beauty of Hebron and such va
rieties may require turning over once.
The only antidote for sprouting, aside
from the manner of storage, that is
known, is the scoop shovel. Potatoes
may be kept in cold storage until Au
gust without a sprout
Planting Trees.
If I were going to plant a tree for
the amount of saccharine matter I
could get from It I would plant bass
wood, and I would save all the fuel
by keeping some bees. I think there
Is no shade tree that we can derive so
much profit from as the basswood.
Next to that would come the soft ma
ple; it blooms so early in the spring
that our colonies of bees build up very
rapidly -indeed when they begin to
gather honey and get a certain amount
of pollen from the blooms of these
soft maples. They make very pretty
shade trees. I think as pretty shade
trees as I ever saw in our part of the
country were in a basswood grove. The
original trees had all been cut away
from the clearing except a few bass
wood trees that were left to grow, and
the ground was kept covered with
grass. I attended a picnic in this
grove, and I can assure you our Sab
bath school boys enjoyed a game of
football under these trees very much,
and I enjoyed half a day looking at
them. I think the prettiest shade trees,
however, that I have ever seen are the
elms which are almost universally
planted in the Eastern states. I have
seen some trees standing on one side
of a roadway which extended to the
other side, and it is something very
pleasant indeed on a hot day to have
the privilege of resting under one of
these trees. There Is a road that I
travel over a good deal in the summer
which is almost devoid of shade trees,
and it is very suffocating sometimes to
have to drive for twelve miles along
that road without any shade at all;
but towards the end of the journey, as
the road approaches the town, there are
a few elms standing, the branches of
which nearly cover the road, and I have
often been very thankful to be able
to stand for a minute or two under
those weeping elms. I would recom
mend the soft maple and the elm, and
I would not despise the white birch.
There is one objection to the white
maple; a borer gets into the tree and
cuts his way around it, and the result
is a dead top. I planted a number of
sugar maple trees some years ago, and
I think there is not one in ten living
today, while I planted some soft maple
trees a year or two afterwards and they
are all living.—Mr. Dempsey.
Keeping Qualities of Grapes.—Much
loss occurs every year from lack of
knowledge of the limitations of grapes
as regards their fitness to keep through
the winter. The most popular grapes
are usually those that have been chosen
for earliness and certainty in ripening.
Most of these are, as might be expected,
poor keepers. The grape most widely
grown of any, the Concord, can hardly
be kept In condition till the holidays.
Grapes that are very sweet become in
sipid when kept long, though they may
look well. Isabella when thoroughly
ripened is too sweet to keep long. The
Catawba, however well ripened, has
an acid flavor and is a good keeper. The
Agawam is more acid than the Salem
and therefore keeps better. Wilder
»ud Barry, two black Rogers grapes,
are about the best for keeping. All
these have thick skins. The Eumclan
we have found a good keeper, as is also
the lona, though that is juite as diffi
cult to ripen as is the Catawba. The
Brighton is best to eat as picked from
the vine.—Country Gentleman.
♦ Utilizing All of the Fruit.
There have been many errors In tree
planting in the past. Too many varie
ties have been set out, and improper
varieties have been chosen. In many
instances too large a proportion of fall
fruits have been planted; hence in an
abundant season the markets are soon
glutted, and as fruit of this character
will not keep prices are apt to fall be
low a remunerative point, and disap
pointment is the result. We must
learn to meet such difficulties as these.
We must endeavor to overcome them as
we find them. This particular one
may be got over in a short time by
top-grafting the trees with late-keep
ing varieties; or it may be remedied
by the establishment of fruit evapora
tors, whereby the surplus stock may
be reduced to such condition as will
admit of its being sold at a later period
of the year, and, if desired, shipped
to any part of the civilized world.
Every part of the apple may be made a
source of profit, and nothing should be
wasted. At a recent meeting of fruit
growers in Michigan, a gentleman in
the course of his remarks gave some
statistics in regard to the profitable
ness of apples, and he said that even
the cores and skins were used at his
factory, and the profit from these
amounted In a short time to a hundred
dollars. I asked him at the close of
the meeting what use was made of the
cores and skins, and he assured me
they were very valuable in making ap
ple jelly. On returning home I insti
tuted some experiments in my own
house, and found this was correct. In
making apple sauce, too, in order to
have all the flavor of the apple, the
skins and cores should be stewed sep
arately, and the resulting liquid
poured into the apple sauce. This adds
very much to the richness and flavor
of the sauce.—D. W. Beadle.
Pear might.
The secretary of agriculture gives the
following suggestions relative to pear
blight: Pear blight is caused by a very
minute microbe which enters the tree
at the blossom cluster, or at the tip
of the tender growing shoot. It may
destroy only the blossom cluster, or u
few inches of the twig, or it may run
downward several feet, killing large
limbs or even whole trees. The same
microbe causes apple twig blight and
quince blight. Most of the damage
from this blight is done during the first
month of growth, beginning at blossom
time. After running downward for a
few inches or a foot or more, the di
sease usually becomes a standstill.
When it has stopped, a definite crack
forms in the bark, separating the live
and dead portions. When the diseased
portion blends off into the live part, it
shows that the disease is still progress
ing. Below the blighted portion the
tree may be perfectly healthy, as the
blight kills only as far as it reaches.
Healthy, thrifty, rapidly growing trees
suffer more when attacked than those
not so vigorous. In certain cases the
blight does not stop, but keeps on slow
ly growing in the bark till the close of
the season. After this such cases con
tinue progressing slowly, the new blight
for each year coming from germs which
lived over from the preceding season’s
cases. The remedy for the pear blight
is to exterminate the microbes which
cause the disease. This can be done by
pruning out the old blight in the fall
or winter, thus preventing the microbes
from living over. In mild attacks,
where there Is but little blight, and
wherever practicable, it is best to cut
out the blight as soon as discovered.
Complete destruction of the blight
should be carried out iu the fall, as
soon as all late growth has ceased. In
cutting out the blight, care should be
taken to cut out on the sound wood be
low the disease.
Frostproof Strawberries.
In a discussion of frostproof straw
berries in the columns of the “Rural
New Yorker,” it is made apparent that
Parker Earle varies in hardiness in dif
ferent parts of the country.
From the cold Northwest a grower
with forty years’ experience writes
that he has never found any varieties
that are frostproof. T. T. Lyon of
Michigan echoes this opinion. He
says: “No varieties of strawberries
can be said to be actually frostproof,
although certain varieties, such as
Sharpless, Haverland, Holyoke, and
others, are reputed to be less hardy
than most others.”
A New Jersey correspondent names
the Parker Earle as one of the best
frostproof strawberries. Mr. M. A.
Thayer writes that Gandy is about the
safest variety he has. Warfield is long
in fruit, and may have its first blooms
killed by frost, yet produce a good crop
from late buds.
Blooded or Scrubs. —We cannot advo
cate a general departure for any far
mer from so-called native to blooded
cattle. Many of our so-called “scrubs”
are really good cows, and such will pay
to keep. It is a mistako to suppose
that au animal without pedigree is
therefore necessarily of no use. On the
other hand it is equally a mistake to
suppose that all pedigreed animals are
good. Like produces like, with varia
tion, and frequently these variations
produce worthless cows from blooded
Btock, and good cows from native stock.
However, the chances are largely in fa
vor of the blooded stock. But the test
needs to be applied to our Holstelus and
Jerseys as well as to our nameless cat
tle.
Demand for Cattle. —The Rocky
Mountain Husbandman says: “Beef is
bringing a good figure in the market
and so great is the confidence that there
is an active demand for all manner of
horned stock. Bovines of any age, kind,
size or description will sell at a good
strong price in advance of what they
would have brought one yeur or more
ago. There is only in times of un
limited confidence in the industry that
there is an active demand for every
thing in ./he cow line.”
THE CAUTIOUS MAN.
)®o Hu a Little Con venation anl Er
plains Whr He Is So Cautions-
It was on the day trip of one of the
Norfolk boats, and the stranger on deck
moved about among the passengers
with a very evident desire to know who
his fellow-voyagers were, yet with
quite as evident a purpose not to com
mit himself by giving away incontin
ently to his curiosity. After some time
he found a man sitting off to one side,
and with him he entered into conversa
tion. They talked Washington and
■cenery and delights of river travel, and
one thing and another for awhile, and
then the cautious man got around to
the subject which most interested him.
“There are some very nice looking
people aboard,” he said, glancing
around the deck, “and some not so nice
looking.”
“Yes,” responded the other party,
also glancing around. .
“I’d like to know something about
some of them,” the cautious man pro
ceeded; “but, being a stranger, I don’t
like to ask too many questions. A man
can’t be too cautious, I think, when he
is traveling, in making comments on
his fellow travelers.”
"I’ve heard about some very embar
rassing cases,” said the other party.
“So have I; and for that reason I am
that much more particular. Still I’d
like to know who some of these people
are.”
"Who, for instance? I know a few of
them, and I guess I’m safe enough to
trust.”
“Well,” said the cautious man, as
sured by this, “there’s a lady over there
by the door.”
“Which §ne? That one that is talk
ing fourteen ways for Sunday?"
“She seems to be talking more than
the law allows,” ventured the cautious
man.
“The one that’s got a dress on like
a three-sheet circus poster, trimmed
with rainbows and Easter eggs?”
“Yes,” laughed the cautious man.
“Complexion like a tanbark walk?'
“Rather.” •
“A bonnet that would fade a carpet?”
“Unless it was warranted carpet;
yes.”
“Got a jaw on her that would cut a
nail in two?”
“Yes.”
“Acts like she owned the steamboat?”
“Somewhat dictatorial, I should say.”
“Got a voice you could Bwarm bees
on?”
“Sounds that way at this distance,”
and the cautious man laughed with unc
tion, for he loved to know about peo
ple.
The other party got up and took a
more critical look at the lady in ques
tion.
“Do you know who she is?” asked the
cautious man.
“Um —er,” hesitated the other party,
“I seem to think I ought to, she’s my
wife. Come over and let me introduce
you. What did you say your name
was?” But the cautious man hadn’t
said and didn’t say, and he removed
himself with such precipitancy that
the other party laughed as though he
enjoyed it. —Washington Star.
English Commissariat at Chitral.
Even when encamped in far Chitral,
poor Tommy confides his troubles to me.
What the state of my letter box would
be should the entire British army ever
have to take the field in a foreign clime
I tremble to think. With regard to
Chitral, it seems that the commissariat
leaves a good deal to be desired. Afl
I have not any one on my staff at the
moment who can be spared for a visit
to Chitral, I am not able to say whether
biscuit really has been issued which is
unfit for human food, whether the men
have to pay for bread when the biscuit
is condemned, whether they are charged
excessive prices for watery rum and
microscopic portions of inferior steak,
etc., but I should take it kindly if
somebody on the spot would look into
these matters. As the above complaints
have reference, not to the active period
of the campaign, but to the camp at
Kulindi, so lately as August 20, there
is no good reason why the feeding ar
rangements should not be in proper
working order. —London Truth.
The Theory of Rain.
Dalton was the first, not indeed to
suggest, but to render certain, that rain
is caused, not by any alteration in at
mospheric pressure but simply and
solely by a diminution of temperature.
He made clear that when moist air is
cooled, below what we know’ as the dew
point, the aqueous vapor in a very fine
form condenses into larger particles,
forming clouds, and upon further con
densation giving drops, which fall as
rain; an enormous weight of water
thus falling: from a cubic mile of air,
for instance, which is a minute fraction
of the whole over any locality, no less
than 140,000 tons of rain or snow fall
ing, if the air, at 05 degrees of summer
heat, has taken up all that it can, and
precipitation is brought about by the
temperature falling to the freezing
point.

afflicted with blood or skin diseases. My
blood was out of order, and I suffered for
years from psoriasis. I tried several
remedies without After taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
for two months I was restored to my for
mer good health and feel like a different
Birson. As a blood purifier I think
ood’s Sarsaparilla has no equal.”
