Not Imig since, Mr. Samuel Kndi eott, of Horton, Mass , arrived at a small town in Northern Texas and put up at the Dixey House, the principal if not the only hotel in the place. The landlord, Col. Dunlap, who was au old Confederate Vetei took au almost fatherly interest in the guer-ts nt bis hotel. lie en deavored to nuke it possible for the Boston man. the latter had been at the hotel a couple of days, Col. Dunlap remark ed one morning after breakfast : "Well, Mr. Endieott, what do you think of this town, anyhow!" "It is a very nice place, but, of course, it does not compare with a New England village." "No, 1 «'pose not; hut I hear you arc going to buy a farm here, all the same." pleasant as After "I'm thinking ot it. "Well h t me give you a little chunk of advice. I wokon, perhaps you think you don't need it, hut i'll give it to you, anyhow, just for luck." "What is it?" inquired the Yun ■xprcssiou on i'itli an amused kee, his face. "Take care you don't get swind led.' "My dear sir, do you suppose that there is anybody in this t»»\\n that can get the better ol* a Yankee, like myself, all the way from Bos ton." "You don't know our folks, Mr. Endieott. Some of them can heat a Yankee at a bargain. It don't do, Mr. Endieott. for a man to under value his fellow man. When I jilted the Confederate army I allow I could whip ten Yankees before breakfast, hut some days it took me all day until sundown to whip my ten Yankees, and occasionally I had to put it oil' until next day, and to wards the end or the war I got mighty tired of the business. You see, I didn't size 'em up right." "Yes, there were some Federal generals who had the same exper ience, when they tried to bring the war to a close in ninety days. So you think I'm liable to he swindled in a land trade by some of your folks.?" "That's about the size of it stran ger. The conversation ended, and next day the Boston nn at the hotel until late in tin; ovon did not appear ing. His first greeting was: "Well, Colonel, I've bought a farm." "You have, eh? Well, how many acres." "About two hundred." "How much did you pay?" "Throe thousand collars." "Thunderin' big price for land in this neighborhood. Got a fine house on it?" "No, not pariicularly." "Got any running water on it?" "No." "How many miles from town?" "About five." "And you paid $3,000 in cash?" "I did." "Got a gold mine on it?" "No, but it has got something al most as good." •'Struck ile on it?" "No, but it is a splendid farm for fruit I was looking for a fruit farm, you see. I expect to raise and ship north in the next few years enough poaches to pay for it." "Peaches?" "Yes, peaches; the finest I ever saw." "Why, this is no country for peaches. The peaches here ain't bigger than walnuts, and they taste sorter bitter." "What do you say to these sam ples?" asked the Boston gentleman, opening a paper bag and displaying a number of splendid ripe peaches." "You don't mean to tell me these peaches grew here in this county?" "I picked these peaches from under the trees on tho fruit farm which I have purchased within five miles of this house. 1 was also shown some remarkably lino oranges, bananas and lempns that giew on the place." The Colonel scratched his head and looked dazed. Suddenly an idea struck him. "You haven't gone ami bought Pan Evans' place, have you ? 1 have puichuseti Mr. Kvuus' fruit farm. "Hu ! ha ! ha !" roared the land lord. holding his sides. Every time ho attempted t»i explain the cause of his mirth to the Boston nn I went oil int«i a fresh convulsion. At last he became partially composed ! from sheer exhaustion, and even then his remarks were interrupted I by fresh convulsions. I "What is the cause of your hilar he ity, sir ?" asked the Boston man, somewhat miffed. "D-Dan Evans is—ha ! ha ! ha ! Lordy ! O Lordy ! This is too good to keep." •'What were you trying to say about Mr. Evans ?" • Nothing," replied the landlord, who had calmed down, "except that Dan Evans is our local fruit dealer, lie imports his peaches direct from Delaware, I reckon you can make arrangements to keep on getting your fine fruit from him. He ought to give you twenty per cent. off. That farm you paid $3,000 for is worth about $1,000. Well, you see we'uns got badîy fooled in the war, but you Yanks have not fooled us much since, and some of us with fruit farms tor sale have been get ting even with you 'uns ever since. I tried to save you from being tuck in, but you knew it all jest as 1 did wh« n I jined the Confederate army and started out to take Washington and New York. But you 'uns will learn by experience, just like I did. Going to bed, hope you will sleep well and dream of oranges, peaches and sieh. Good night, stranger, good night.

Dialer the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty four ddfereat kinds of baking-pow ders embracing all the brands that could lie found for bale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by I'rof. C. F. Chandler, a member of die State Board and President of tile New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. lOdwAid G. Love, the well-known United States Government chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders exam ined were found to contain alum or lime ; many of them to such an ex tent as to render them seriously ob jectionable for use in the prepara tion of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The present») of lime is attri buted to the impure erei of e turc. Such Cle an of tartar was also alyzod and found to contain lime and other impurities ; in some sam ples to the extent of 93 per cent, of their entire weight. All the baking powders of the market, with the single exception of "Royal" (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which have not the virtue of even an impure cream of tartar) are made from the adulterated cream of tartar of com merce, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent. Thu only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and abso lutely pure is the "Royal." This per feet purity results from the ex clusive use of cream of tartar spe cially refined and prepared by pa tent processes which totally removo the tartrate of lime and other im purities. The cost of this chemical ly pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on ac count of this greater cost is used in no baking ponder hut the "Roy of tartar used in their manufac ul.' Prof. Love, who made the analy sis of baking powder tor the New York State Board of Health as well as for tho Government, says of the purity and wholesomeness of the "Royal." "X find the Royal Baking Powder composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or other injurious sub stance. Sold hv E. T. Dilworth, Newark E. G. Lovk, Pit. D." It is highly satisfactory to the housekeepers of this vicinity, where the Royal Baking Powder is in gen- eral use, that the investigations by the analysts in Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, the only States that have tlius far taken action upon this important subject, agree in classing the purest and finest effici- ent baking powder in the market. i t Oh, What a Ooughf Will you heed the warning.

Look around you and the question is speedily answered. He must cast his hook into any sort of pond .ami take such fish as may be easy caught. He is a sort of tramp. He may work in the coal-yard to-day, and in the harvest field to-morrow. He does the drudgery and gets the pay of the drudge. His wages are so small that he finds it impossible to lay up a dollar, and a fortnight of idleness will see him dead broke. The other night I saw a man dragging himself wearily along, (tar rying a pick on his shoulder. "Tired, John?" \More so than any horse in De troit." "What do you pork at?" "I on a digger. Sometimes I work for gas companies, hut oftener for plumbers.' "Good luges?" "So good that my family never has enough to cat, let alone buying decent clothes. If it wasn't fur- my wife and children I'd wish for the street car to run over me..' "Why didn't you learn a trade? "Because nobody had interest enough to argue and reason with me. I might have had a good trade and earned good wages, but here I am working harder for $8 or $9 a week than many a man does to earn 818." And now, my boy, if men tell you trades are crowded, and that so many carpenters and blacksmiths and painters and shoemakers and other trades keep wages down, pay no attention to such talk. Compare the wages of common and skilled workman. Take the trade you seem fitted for. Begin with the de termination to learn it thorougly, and to become the best workman in the shop. Don't be satisfied to skin along from one week to the other without being discharged, but make your services so valuable by being a thorough workman that your em ployer cannot afford to let you go.— Detroit Free Press.

( Considering the fact that so many women ure obliged to pass portion of their time in the kitchen, why not make it an attractive apart ment rather than stow it away in the buseiuent, or in some dark cor ner of the house, as is now too fre quently done? Most houses dis play pleasant sitting rooms ; but if wo judge of the conveniences and general pleasantness of tho kitchen by the rooms in front of the house, wo utterly fail in our conjectures. It is surely better to begin our house-furnishing at the kitchen and work toward the front as we aro able.

There is no better compost to drop in the Hills than well-rotted horse stable manure, green sand marl and wood ashes. A small shovelful of it is all that is needed. Some plants in rows three feet apart in the rows, others cross furrow three feet each way, making the setting three feet apart, so that the plow and culti vator may do it more thoroughly. Select a wet, cloudy time for plant ing out. If tiiis cannot be laid, water well. Press the soil firmly about the roots of the sets. Farm and Garden Notes. Save all your charcoal for pigs and chickens; it will kced them healthy. Raise good stock, give them good care, and see how soon they will re pay you. Give your crops the best cultiva tion possible. Do not lot the weeds rob them. Use the best seeds of whatever kind you plant, if you would be suc cessful; the best are none too good. Feeding in sheep husbandry is like any other problem in live stock. How ever good tho breed, without good cure and feeding, they must necessarily degenerate.
