Utile widow, far iroui it. llo was

who for half a score of years had oc

Bsturday night came around.
He was a bachelor, as may bo sup
posed a man who was as full of
whims and caprices as an egg is of

in bis bosom beneath it all.
But ou this especial Friday morn
In; his eyes blazed wrathfully the
lip of his noso huug forth a crimsou
flag of iniliguation, as Mrs. Uydo
aoie meekly into his presence.
"A month's warning, ma'am," was
all that he said.
Mrs. Hyde caught at the nearest
chair for support.
"Mr. Marrell!" she gasped.
"Now, ma'am, it isn't at all worth
while to go through any scene," said
the bachelor, callously. "I am a
practical man, as you ought to know
by this time. Aud I'm not in the habit
of wasting words. Tut up a bill. Ad
vertise. Let your room as soon as
you can, for I more ont to-morrow,
although, as a tokon of respect for
your many good qualities, I shall pay

"La, Mr. Marrell!" faintly ejacu

"Ask your own conscience, ma'am'"
aterniy retorted Mr. Marrell.
"Because if it's on account of Tatty

"It is precisely on that account,
ma'am. I was awakened last night by
the screaming of a child.
"It's cutting cye-tectb, poor dear,
interposed Mrs. Hyde.
at
Ana tuis morning, on making in
quiries, relentlessly went on the
bachelor, "I loarued that you had ac
many taKen in your widowed niece
and her twin babies? Twins, ma'am!
One would hare been enough too
much, in fact but when it comes to
twins-"
"Patty -had nowhere else to go,
air," said Mrs. Hyde, apologetically,
"and she'll be useful about the house.
Patty's a good girl, sir."
"I dare say," said Mr. Marvell.
"But I can't stay in the same house
with twins so, as I before remarked,
put up a bill as soon as you please."
'Please, sir, Til put Patty and the
children on the top floor, where they
can't possibly disturb you, if "
"I tell you once for all, ma'am, that
I cannot tolerate children, and I won't!
Will you bo kind enough to leave me
now?"
So Mrs. Hyde went downstairs to
burst into tears, back of the pantry
door, where Patty Smith, with one
twin tied in the high chair and the
other swarming over the floor, like a
magnified beetle, was beating eggs
for the dinner custard.
"Aunty, what's the matter?" de
manded Fatty, still whisking vigor
ously away at the custard.
"He's going, my dear."
; ."Who? Mr. Marrell?"
"Yes."
"Well, let him go, aunty," said
Tatty, cheerfully. She was a dim
pled, pretty little lady, with pleasant,
black eyes and blaok hair, parted low
on her forehead, not quite twenty, in
a. . m . -a
spue oi ner widowhood and her
twins! "It's a cheerful room you'll
soon fill up the vacancy."
"But not with such a man as Phm-
eas Marvell," groaned Mrs. Hyde.
'Oh, Patty, you don't know him!"
' "I know he must be a crusty old
piece, aunty, or he never would ob
ject to the dear, darling little babies."
aaid Patty, with a loving glance at
the twins. "Don't fret, now, there's
dear. It'll all come right, see if it
dop t. I'll write an advertisement
myself, and take it down to the news
paper office this afternoon."
Bo Mr. Marvell packed up hia
goods and left, and Mrs. Hyde cried,
"It seems suoh a pity," said ahe,
"atter ten years.
. VUon't mind it, aunty," said the
courageous Patty. "I'm sure he must
be a selfish creature, or ho never
would serve you so."

sour-visaged woman came to the Hyde
house and requested an audience

"I know Mr. Phineas Marvell,"
answered Mrs. Hyde, with dignity.
"Well, it's all the same," retorted
she of the acidulated countenance.
"He's boarded at our house three
weeks and four days. s He's down
with the small-pox."
"Ob, my!" ejaculated Mrs. Hyde.
"Poor, dear soul. And who takes
care of him?"
"That's just the Tery question,"
aid the visitor. "I can't. I've got

boarders has all el eased out, and the
doctor don't know of no one as would
be willing to undertake the risk,

"N no! ' she answered. "I would
rather not. As you say yourself, it's

which the sun beat with merciless
brilliancy; dust ia every spot on
which dust could possibly alight, and

"I'll soon set all these matters
straight," said Patty, moving around
with the quick decision that was nat
ural to her. And within half an "hoar
the scene had assumed a more home
like look, even to the staring, uncon
scious eyes of the delirious man.
"Who are you? An augel?" he
asked, lowering his voice to a whisper.
"No," she answered, smiling in
epite of herself. "I'm Patty."
"Don't leave me," he uiged. "It's
so dreadful to be left alone."
"No," she answered; "I won't."
Phineas Marvell lay ill for a month
and with slow recovery came a sense
of all that Patty Smith had done for
him.
"I'll tell you what," said the. doc
tor, on the day that he made his last
professional visit, "if it hadn't been
for Mrs. Smith, you would have been
snngly stowed away between four
mahogany boards by this time, my
friend."
"I know it," Mr. Marvell answered.
"Well," said Mrs. Hyde, when at
last Patty returned homo and hugged
the twins within an inch of their
lives, "I hope the poor, dear., gentle
man is better."
"Oh, he's all right now!" said
Patty. "He's coming back to-morrow
or the next day. Is the room all
ready?"
"All ready," Mrs. Hyde answered.
Mr. Marvell returned the next day
and once more took possession of his
old quarters.
. "Mrs. Hyde," said he, with a little
embarrassment, when that lady came
upstairs to inquire his wishes in re
gard to any early tea, "there's some
thing I, perhaps, ought to mention to
you."
"Indeed, sir! said the wondering
Mrs. Hyde. "What is that?"
.'I'm going to be married!" an
nounced the bachelor, with infinite
sheepishnesa.
"Married, sir? Yon? Dear, dear!
Then you'll be leaving me again, I
sbouldn t wonder." j
"Not necessarily, Mrs. Hyde. l'
dare say yon and my future wife will'
get along very comfortably together."
"Indeed, sir!"
"For I'm going to marry Patty."
"Patty?" echoed Mrs. Hyde.
"Yes, Patty!"
"And how about the twins?" de
manded the amazed matrou.
"The twins, Mrs. Hyde, are the
dearest little creatures in the world."
And, .improbable as it may seem,
Mr. Marvell really looked as if he be
lieved what he said!
It was all true. He did marry
Patty aud he was proud of his pretty,
energetic little wife, and still more
proud, strange to say, of the twins!
"I wouldn't believe it unless I'd ha'
seen it with my own eyes," said Mrs.
Hyde. "He as never could endure
children afore! But I'm as pleased
as Puncn, for Patty's sake!"
And Patty and her middle-aged
husband were serenely happy together.

The appearance of fowls after reach

price they will bring.
Good specimens are very often
spoiled in dressing, while poor peci
mens may often be made far more at
tractive by proper care.
Fowls should be left without food for
twelve hours before killing, so that
crop may be eutirely empty.
Suspend each on by the feet and
with sharp-pointed knife cut a deep
gash in roof of mouth at bae of brain.
Plucking should begin at once, all
the large feathers being removed by
the time fowl is dead.
The pin feathers can then be easily
removed. Do not remove crop or in
testines. Carefully wash the mouth
and remove all blood clots. Do not
singe, and by all means do not tear
the skin. Let them hang in a cool
place until the animal heat is out; then
pack in layers in box or barrel, if in
tended for shipment.
If a great number are be dressed
the feathers should be saved, as they
will bring from five cents to seven
cents a pound when dry picked.-

When hungry stock are set into a
field they usually mako the most of
what falls to them, but if they are
only half-hungry the desire to roam
over the pasture is strong. In a herd
or flock the grazing behavior of the
bunch as a whole is influenced a good
deal by the peculiarities of the older
and more masterful members. Should
these leaders be of a discontented
turn, they are apt to infect their
neighbors and to keep the group on the
move. A quiet, ea9y-going disposi
tion on the part of the "elders' has
a soothing and settling effect. But
flocks and herds take strange fits at
times. They are unaccountably rest
less,evenona clean and pleasant range
of pasture. They keep moving, for
no apparent puipose, and refuse to
settle down. Matters are at the best
when the stock fail to graze of their
own accord. On a hillside or moor a
flock of sheep or a herd of Highland
cattle seems to be perfectly contented
with the fare at command. One fears
to disturb the group, knowing full
well that onco a spell of peace is
broken there cannot be rest for
hours ou end. In spite of long
domestication, our farm animals of
the hardier varieties are never so
happy as when they discover suitable
feeding grounds for themselves. Once
again they are the creatures of Tery
ancient custom, and have vague
glimpses of freedom. London Live

NEWSBOYS OF MANILA.
Clever Little Raacala Who Are Quick to
Adopt American Wars.
Manila now baa the newsboy, for
the first time in her history. .They
are a cosmopolitan lot Filipinos,
Chinese, .Taps, Hindoos and represen

but quite like the newsboy wherever
found. "These urchins are rapidly
picking up and acquiring an English
phraseology which is surprising,"
says Freedom, an American newspa
per published at the island capital,
but an equal amount of curiosity is
aroused in the American when he sud
denly hears such tunes sung and
whistled as 'Hot Time in the Old
Town To-night,' 'After the Ball, and
all the other popular and unique airs
of the Americano, and then sees a lit

they will be the better for the, work
they are doing. We are within Bight
ana earshot of the ocenrrenoes and

Kadnolnc; tlie Scab of Potatoes.
Scabby potatoes seem to be becom
ing more aud more prevalent year by
year, and it is evident that farmers
must exercise all the wits they possess
if they keep clear of them. While I do
not die pate the fact that this malady is
caused by microbes, and may be
checked by the submerging the seed
in solutions which destroy them, I find
that if the crop bo planted so the
growth of tubers will come either be
fore or after' the hottest summer
weather, they largely escape the ef
fects of scab. By planting in this lati
tude (central Pennsylvania) as late as
June 25 or July 4, the viues remain
green and healthy until frost, and per
fectly clean tubers invariably result.
It is hardly practicable to grow all
our potatoes as late as this, but here
is an idea which may be acted upon by
the farmers of this country to great ad
vantage. Healthy seed planted on
ground not affected will develop but
little scab in one year. Here is a way
to get the healthy seed. Let every
farmer grow as late in the season as
possible enough tubers for his seed
stock the next spring. Carefully save
and plant only such seed and this
troublesome disease will become less
and less prevalent.
To keep seed pc tatoes in condition
for planting as late as J uly, it is neces
sary to spread them thinly on the floor
of some dry, light room. The sprouts
will then be short, thick and stocky,
and not break off if carefully handled
in planting. A little farther south two
crops are grown eaoh season, and the
second is saved for early planting the
next spring. To do this it is neces
sary to dig the tubers, and let them lie
on the ground fully exposed to sun and
air for a week or more. This seasons
them and puts them in condition to
grow at onoe when planted, which they
would not do without this seasoning
process. I believe this idea if carried
out by every Northern farmer would
be .worth millions of dollars to this
country. Will you not experiment a
little along this line and see how much
it may benefit you? J. F. Tillinghast,

It causes the oil elands

COSTLY DOLL HOUSES.
One In Germany Talaed at Ovar
la.eoo.
Just think of a doll's house costing
over $12,000. One like that was made
at Utrecht, In Germany, a long time
ago, for a little granddaughter of Peter
the Great, the ruler of Russia. It Is of
gold and Ivory and One Jewels and
other coetly materials. The reception
rccms are hung with brocade, the
stairs carpeted, the doors open and
shut, and the bedrooms are beautifully
furnished. For a little New York girl
a ('oil's house was not long ago made
which cost several thousand dollars.
Great artists were paid to paint the
tiny pictures on the walls and to dec
orate the ceilings of the best rooms.
and the chief unholsterers were em-
pflyed to make the furniture. The
house is two-storied and contains nine
rooms and a hall. But here Is a se
cret: Whi!e theae homes for dolly are
wonderful, the little girls who play
with, them arc not half so happy aa
some brleht-eed little ones I know
who have only a dolly's house made
out cf a cracker box. It's all In be
ing contented and loving dolly and
what is hers.

For An Army ef 40.000.
Washington, D. C, Special. It ap

contemplation an army of quite 40,000
men for the Phdli opines. While M?.
Root has been at the head of the De
partment only a brief time, he has been
making diligent inquiry among the bu
reau chiefs regarding supplies and
equipments, and the trend of his ques
tioning has beea in the direction of an
Increase in the available force in the

The defeat cf Senator Pasco, of
Florida, will reinore irom the Senate
a member with a unique record. Sena
tor Pasco has been in Congress for
twelve years, and during that time his
record showf. that he never voted
directly on any question. He baa had
a chronic pair ever since lie took his
seat. The reason for this is that
Senator Pasco has charge of the pairs'
on the Democratic aide, and it was his
duty to -see thai air the Democrats
absent were properly paired. To do
this be was almost always obliged to
pair himself, not on account of the
absence of a Democrat, but ont oi
courtesy to the Republicans.
Wbenarer a Republican was absent
and demanded a pair1 on' the Demo
cratic side, Senator - Pasco had to fur
nish' it. '. It became a standing rule
in the Senate when the roll was called
and Senator Pasco's name reached for
the little Senator fvom Florida to rise

' Tattooing and Snake Bit.
While scientific minds are disc us
ing the anti-toxin scrum treatment of
disease aa if it were a new thing, the
people of ancient Burmah are calling
attention to the fact that for centuries
the material they have used in the
common custom of tattooing has been
an efficient anti-toxin for snake bites.
The tattooed Burmese regard the bites
of poisonous snakes as harmlessa.
This, at least, is the statement of a
gentleman from Burmah, who brings
testimony to bear in corroboration of
his singular statement. '
She Asked Ulna t "Co Away."
She was a dear old lady, and she
was spending the summer In a quaint
old seaport town of New England, says
the New York Times. One morning
every one had gone out, leaving her
alone in the house. It was not long
after that sbe heard a noise in an ad
joining room, and, going to investigate.
she saw a man ransacking a bureau
drawer. What most women would nave
done, if they bad not been frightened
into .immovability or into giving
scream at the awful realization that
there was a burglar in the house, would
have been to hurry away ana hide un
til the dreadful man was gone. But
that was not what this woman did.
She stepped immediately up to nan and
Eaid: "I am all alone in this house
and I want you to go right away." The
strangest part ot the story seems to
be that the man did go. He bad al
ready taken some things, and those
he kept, but he did not wait to look
for others. It waa not conscience that
drove him away, as he kept what he
had, and it conld hardly have been
fear. It Is a standing conundrum lm
that family why that burglar went
away, and no good reason seems to
be found unless it was politeness, and
he did not like to refuse a lady
