THE STORY OF THE KING'S GOLDFINCH How It Saved Rlioud'a Life, or the Nearest Doty First Qoalot Hayings of the Kids Some Knotty Problems l or Solution. One afternoon, the good King Rhoud ent to take his customary walk in the wood of Ledre with his friend Karl Reigin, who felt very much alarmed about the dangerous enemies that were daily multiplying themselves in theking's own palace. lie urged ihe king to consider some means to prevent it, and to nend immediately away from his household any whom he suspected of being treacherous or ,aiitru,t worthy. Us they were walking and talking thus earnestly through the beautiful wood, they heard something scream piteously in f. tree. "It is only a little bird," eaid Reigiu. ''It does not sins, it screams," said the kinjr. "The poor thing is in trouble." " "Let it scream," said Reigin. "Just cow we have more important affairs to think of than a little bird in a tree." "The nearest duty first," said the king. ''There is nothing more important just now." And he looked up into the tree. "It is impossible to rescue it," said Reisin; "it sits too hish up." "In the isle of Vifiis I have learned to climb a tree, and am not yet so old that I have forzotten it," "But there are no branches down below cn the trunk," urgi'd the earl. "Then you mmt lift me. I am only a t mall man, not heavy to raise." "But, ii you fall and get killed, it would bj an eternal shame to have it said that our k'ug lost his life for the sake of a bird." "Many have lost it for less," said the king, as he prepared to climb the tree. o the strong, square shoulders of the earl helped toliftths slender, agile kins tip the trunk ; and from thence he climbed an. 1 ventured himself out on the uppermost branch. He came down safely with ajiitib goldfinch in his hand. It had rm.'ht its little lejr in a narrow crevice of t :e wood and could not Öy away. "It shall be my adopted child." said the k'ri. tenderlv strokim? the feathers, "and t if playmate of my little son." , He took the bird home, and had a beautiful ca?e made for it. "How childish the king i.,M said one of his most faithful warrior?, who disapproved of his giving any time or thought to so small a tiling as a bird. "At the moment when war is at the door, he finds time to fave a little bird, and takes care of it himself. Does he not carelessly run into his own misfortune?" Meanwhile their desire for vengeance never slept. The death of I.houd was decided, npon. He had discovered the secret of th.5 conspirators ; he had their destiny in his hands, and ho must porn die. They had se'.-etly sworn his death, and by prom:3'M and threatening had bribed the two s!a 'es that waite 1 on the king's bed-chamber, rromiiig them liberty and greao vre vth ii they helped in the king's destruction. One da)-, when th king wa3 hunting with his men, an oaken plank was looseiit d in the mlincr of the king's bedchamber over his head ; and, by some ingenious contrivance, they had made it keep in its place until some one could lower it down from the second story with a rope and let it tall. The king could thus be crushed on his couch, and the wholo be thought a terrible accident. The king returned at nrht late and weary, and went to bed. He soon was sound asleep and would probably never have risen again had not a little bird by its screaming suddenly awakened him. He pat up in bed and collecting his thoughts perceived immediately that lie had forgotten that day to give the little creature water and food and at evening was so overcome by fatigue that he had not thought of it then. He sprang from his couch saying: "Oh, thou poor little creature! did I pave thy life to let thee perish?" With these words he poured water into the little glass and put gra'n in the little cuj. Just then the plant fell from the ceiling with tremendo is noise, and, striki -g the bed, crushed i flat to thi floor. There was a great eommof. j in the palace yard ; the warriors awoke and seized their swords, the frightened servants rushed in with torches shaking in their trembling hands. "The king is killed, is killed!" thev cried. "King Rhoud is crushed to pieces.'' But there stood the king unhurt and smiling, with thi bird-cage in his hand; and be c:ed out to them: "Do not fear, my friends; God has kept His hand over me." v nen tan i.eijnn neara now everything had happened, how the plank had fallen, and what had saved the king, he stood long speechless. Then, fixing his tearful eyes on the king, he said: "I shall never again doubt a divine providence." Rhoud, smiling, answered: "Then you can see, Keigin, one should not scorn little folks. Can a king eave a bird? Then the bird caa ;also save the king!" Ilrmi rr lb Kids. Fond Mamma "Did you have a nice time at its picnic?" Litt) Dick "Yes; only there asn't enough ice-cream an' cake.

FARM AND HOME COLUMN.

FARMER JONES' TALK ON THE TARIFF. A Hint About Potatoes la the Orchard and Garden Household Items Some Good Recipes and a It neiget of Farm Notes. Farmer fraallcy of Caledonia, Minn., writes in a recent letter to the New York Evening I'ot as follows: Sin Iktsey an' I hev been to town today, Mister Kditor, t' get a lot of bindin' twino for my harvest and sugar for her presarvin'. an', as Susan that's our oldest girl that's to hum is goin' to he married this fall after buskin', the old lady insists on the house bein' painted ag'in, an' eo I bought a lot o' paint; the gracious knows, I don't see how we can alford it. While in town, our editor he's a regular out-an'-out free-trader, an' has got me to be a sitrht more of one than I was when I quit thu fact'ry down in Connecticut an' came West to farmin he givo me a copy of your paper, an' I have been readin' since I got hum those letters from farmers J from everywhere. It's pow'ful refreshing parson sajs, 10 see now iuauy uiuei fanners nil over this big land o' ourn is gettin' the fact into their heads that down under all these things that trouble us farmers eo, as the cause of them all, lies that dod-rottcd (sense the russin' but I'm gettin' mad) pertected tari;!". We've been alio win' that the reason why we had so little money in our pockets when everythin' w as paid for was because the railroads robbed us. an because the government didn't print money enoiiffh, an because the elevator men beat us on grades and weight, an' because 8ome one they call "lüg Four" down to Shcawgo sent meat readv dressed to our cities, an' all that. An' we ve been runmn the legisla tures, an' pas-in" all sorts of laws that some feller that wanted to go to the legis lature said would iust fix the thing all right. An' bo fur from gettin better, 's fer as I can see, it s getting worse, lou ß 'e, us farmers don't tpend much time cipherin' on such matters. The war, with its big prices, sent us along a boomin , an since tho bottom dropped out we've had just all we could do to keep our heads out of water, an while we felt that somethin was out o' kilter, we couldn't ppend time to Ktudy it out lor ourselves. It is a clear as day to me, an' I iedge from the letters that it is getting a heap clearer to lots of others, that we won't get any help that will do us any lastin gool until we can buy just egsactly as we sell, under a compertition as wide as the world. IJut I didn't start in fur to tell you what you know a sight better than I can tell it, but to tell you about our shoppin' to-day, an" what a dose of this pertective I got. I ß'pose vou've hearn tell of the twine trust, hevn't you, Mr. Editor? Well, the differ ence twixt vou an me is that I ve hearn of it an' felt it felt it in my pocket, Sir an that s being teched that way so often nowadays that it is gettin mightv sensi tive. Two years ago I paid 14 cents a pound for the best manila twine. That was before the farmers had s.dd that they didn't want free twine, and before these pesky trusts had got to be such private affairs that what they did wasn't any concern of yours or mine or the president's, you know. To-day I paid 18 cents a pound lor just the same kind of twine. I saw a letter from tho secretary of this trust in which he said that the "raw material had riz. Wages isn't raw material, is they? Well, on to-day's deal that little rise of the twin 2 trust jest lifted $ out o' my pocket slick an' clean. Then, only last year, when Betsey wanted to put up her preparves, we got fourteen pounds of sugar forjl. This year the sugar trust have run ii up or down so we got nine pounds for 1. That made jest twenty-five pound.! less suar for a five-dollar bill, you see, and at last year'6 prices that is S1.78 more that I have "trusted." Then, on the paint an' oil, as near as I can figger it out, the white-kad trust and the linseed-oil trust borrowed a couple dollars more to be paid back to nie in a home market, posserbly. It all makes iV.TS taken jest for nothin'. Now, let's see what that means from my point. My cows average me a pound of butter a day, an' I'm gettin' a shilling a pound for it. It will take one cow seventy-eight days to earn what these trusts took out of me, to say nothin' of the feed and work ; or they've come an' taken a two-hundred-and-tifty-pound pig out of my pen, or they've took an acre of good corn, or they've taken all the profit there is in an acre of my winter wheat, leavin' me the cost about paid. Now, when this sort of thing is goin' on ail round the ring, is it any wonder that all farmers feel that somethin' is hurtin' them mighty bad, and that some of us, who cansee what it is, get bo all-fired mad? Ther was a feller onct down in your city who imperdently asked folks: "Whät are you goin' to do about it?" when they hinted that he was a-stealin' too much, an' the trusts are rtickin' their thumbs in their arm-holes and cockin' their eys at us an' askin' us the same question. Well, Tweed found his answer, and they'll find theirs. Meantime we can only growl and save a litt.e harder. A Hint About Totatoes. Totatoes at no time should be allowed to lie exposed to the sun. If they must be cured, this should le done in the shade, or the quality w ill be impaired. And if potatoes are dug at this time and are piled up, they are almost certain to heat and rot, and often considerable more are damaged in this way than if they are left in the ground until the weather is cooler. If, however, they are dug and spread out thin in the shade for a few days until they are thoroughly dried out or cured, and are tht-n put into a loft or place w here there can be good ventilation, the loss by rotting can be made very small. They should bo laid o-it very thin at first, and rhen at no time be more than six incl?es deep until coo'er weather ncUt in. They ruust be kept dry and placed where a good circulation of air can m given. A good plan is to put into a crib or loft that w ill not be missed until they can be taken up and stored, either in the pit or in the cellar, to be used as wanted during the winter. Farm Notes. Plant more string beans and hare them until frost. Evergreens of all kinds are invigorated by an application of ashes. Th common wild fox-grsp is the best for arbors where dense foliage is preferred to fruit. The tomato bushes must now be examined daily or the lare green worms will atrip off the leaves. The curcnlio attacks nearly all kinds of fruit, and does not confine its operations to the plum alone. Throw the wash water around the plum and pear trees instead of into a drain. It is a splendid fertilizer and will insure a good crop. To clean a trarden from purslane requires constant watchfulness, removing every piece large enough to ripen seeds, in baskets, until frosts stops its ffrowth. Exposure to the direct rsys of the sun, without shade or shelter, is to cause great suffering to swine and sheep. Du rise; the heat of the day the animals will cease grazing and seek shade. A visit to the pasture will show exposed stock to be panting and suff ering from the heat. There is no such thing as "laying corn by." an expression applied to the period when the culti Tutor is no longer used. Corn requires Children Cry for.

cultivation as long as a horse can pass along the rows. Until all the weeds and grass are cleaned out the work in the cornfield is not finished. Good boxes should be provided for the harness. The pins behind each stall for hanging the harness upon should go. It need cost but little to make (rood boxes in which all the trapping can be easily kept, and the saving to the harness will more than pay for the trouble and expense. Sunflower seeds have been known for years, by those who have used this article aright, as a most excellent thing to mix with poultry feed. The properties of this seed are peculiar, and a mall-quantity fed at the proper time will essentially aid in imparting beauty to the plumage. Comb honey keeps best in a warm, dry room. The temperature should not go below sixty degrees, and a little warmer would b even better. Whiteness of the comb would he better preserved in a dark room. The honey will trat her moisture hcn the temperature goes below sixty degree's. When the time arrives for cutting the corn in the field it should be (.torcd in the barn as soon as well cured. Leaving (J stacked iu the fields invites waste Hnd deterioration of quality. If there is insullicient room in the barn urovide a

i chenu shelter. Exposure destrovs one-half the value of the crop. It is more difficult to procure fresh eegs in Stimmer than in winter in the market. I hiring summer ninny egi's found iu oiit-of-the-wny nests nre added to those in the basket, with the chances in favor of a portion of them being stale, while in winter the hens arc confined to yurds and lay in the poultry house. When the pi?s from an old sow fail to grow as fast as their companions from young sows it is nu unniistdknble indication lhat the old mother is failincr. and Miould be sent to the pork barrel. While the ol1 sow is doine well, don't discard her unless there is a certainty that she can he replaced with somethin! better. It is just as proper to keep rich nii!k separate from that of an inferior quality and secure for it an extra price as it is to assort other articles on the farm. If dairymen would make it a point to sell mi!k of the best quality only, they could secure a class of customers who would not object to paying an extra prjee for it During seasons when rains are frequent the effect of tile drainage is made very manifest by comparison with undrained fields'. It requires but a short time for a tile-drained field to rid itself of the surplus water and become warm. Tile drainage has in all cases proved of incalculable benefit to lands that are liable to continued dampness from an excess of moisture. The Illinois experiment station has determined by actual count the number of seeds per pound for fifteen varieties of grasses. In one pound of red-top there are 4,13;,O0O seeds; blue grass, 2,1S;VM); timothy, 1,1,000; orchard gras, 4."7,OfO; tall meadow oat gras, l.Vi.OlM); white clover, W3.0O0; crimson trefoil, 125,000; mammoth red clover, .'4,0j0; common red clover, 3,'S3,OiU; alsike, G77,i; alfalfa, -MlOoo. The road tax is one that returns fourfold to tha farmer, if rightly applied, which would be the case if the farmers themselves would take more interest in the matter. This is the season for hauling- gravel on the road, and ditches should be dug along the sides for carrying oil" the water. A well-graveled road should be serviceable the entire year and show no effects of use except when the frost is leaving the ground. Says the Horsemnn: "Watch the blacksmiths and do not allow them to burn the hoof with a hot shoe because it is easier to do this than trim or file the hoof smooth. Burning ruins the wall of the foot so that it will not retain the shoe so long, besides rendering it so brittle that a heavy strain upon it will cause it to break; and if the shoe comes otl on the road the hoof is likely to go to pieces before you cau reach the 6hop." Clover can be sown in the fall. The seed is put in about the middle of Autrust or September. To prepare the land plough it now and let the sepds of wee;ls prout. Just before seeding plough the land a'jain and dress it with a mixture of thirty buthels of lime and wood ashes, harrow well, sow the seed, cud brush the land over, so ns to lightly cover the seed. It will make a better "catch" thau when clover is seeded on grain in the rpring. In th Orchard and Garden. Late cucumbers make the best pickles. Unleached ashes are a good fertilizer for the lawn. Melon vines should he well cultivated until they have made a good start to run. Poultry manure can always be applied to the strawberry bed with profit. Winter radish seed should be sown now; have the soil rich and well prepared. Liquid manure can, in many cases, be used to advantage with late-growing plants. The best time for pruning flowering shrubs is as soon as possible after they are done flowering. Insect-catching birds are the farmers' best friends; it is to his interest to see that they are properly protected. Uuddin can he done now and be continued as the different varieties mature their buds. Knrliness is a very important item to be conidered in the selection and saving of the seed. Wash water can be applied to the peach, plum and pear trees, and will add considerably to the fertility. One of the principal advantages secured by keeping the ground occupied all the growing season is that a material aid in keeping down the weeds is secured. In transplanting trees, the fact that a small tree with abundant roots will make a good tree much sooner than a large tree with scanty roots should be remembered. A lawn, no matter how nicely Fet in grass, can nearly always be improved by the addition of a few flowers, ornamental and evergreen trees and shrubs neatly arranged. P-y sowing quickly-maturing varieties, lettuce and peas can te sown now. They will mature a crop before cold, frosty weather sets in to cut them dnwn. They should make a rapid growth in order to be tender. In growing blackberries and raspberries a very good plan is to allow them to thicken up in the row, pinching or cutting back in order to secure a vigorous, stocky growth. Keep the soil rich and mulch during the winter. All things considered, the better plan is to prune often, as by this plan usually the necessity for removing large limbs can be avoided. If, however, it becomes necessary to take olT a large limb, paint the wound over with paint or shellac. Ornamental trees in the front yard can often be benefited while growing by ni:iking a flower bed around them and keeping the foil rich and mellow. This is especially the case when the yard is well set in grass. Household Hints. Bait in the whitewash will make it stick bet ter. Wash the mica of the stove doors with salt and vinegar.

t " r " " 8weet Corn Sweet corn is never so good as when cooked within a few minutes after having been gathered. U hen boiled it should not be allowed to remain in the water after it is done; in fact it should be served at once no matter iu what wsy it may be cooked, for standing spoils it. There is a great difference of opinion regarding the icnyth of time required tor cooking, some claiming thut when boiled on the cob, it requires an hour, others that it requires not more than a quarter of that time. Of course, a great deal depends on its ne or whether it is cooked in bard or soft water. " The water should not be allowed to Hop boiling after the corn has been put into it, and the corn is improved if the water be made ns salt as for mush. After it is done more boiling hardens it. I like to drop it into the boiling water and if the kernels have not attained their full ize fifteen or twenty minutes will cook it to suit me. There are people who do not consider it done unless it is hard enough to be as indigestible as leather. Many cooks strip bac k the husk, remove the silk, replace the husk, tie it in place, and boil it all together. They claim that the flavor is thus better preserved. Ia It Man or Mule? S. Y. Telogram. Robert Marvel has ended his long fast of sixty-seven days. Nature has surrendered. Thit Indiana specimen was no Tanner, no advertising crank, no theorist. He simply faited because paralysis of the stomach nerves made it impossible for him to eat. That was his only reason, and yet he lingered on literally nothing through the longest fast on record. The capabilities of life, under such appalling odds, are wonderful. Curious enough to relate, we hear at the same time of an equally miraculous proof of the sustaining qualities of quadruped life. Yesterday one of the mines in the coke region, which had been choked up for seventeen days by a cave in, was unearthed, and among the wonders displayed were three mules who hrnyed a welcome to the rescue party. All other animal life had been extinct for days. We may have to resort to a fasting match between man and mule before the championship can be awarded. Nineteenth Century Heroism. X. Y. Herald. Only a baggage-handler, a plain, commonplace railway station hustler. And yet John Doyle developed into a grand hero at Brick Church, X. J., last Friday. A girl was slowly crossing a track within a few feet of an approaching train. The noise and movement of another train which had just passed made her oblivious to the death that was roiiring down upon her. In a lew seconds the fair young creature would be torn to pieces under the wheels of the locomotive. Men shouted, women covereil their faces to shut out the horriUe spectacle. Iu that supreme crisis John Doyle leaped forward, CHiigl.t the girl in his arms and sprang backward wiih her. Iioth toll to the ground just outside of the track. The cow-catcher of the engine tore the rescued child's dress as the train thundered on. Therceof heroism is not gone. That New Jersey baggnire handler will compare with any cuaracier in History.
