After he had made himself comfortable and scattered his papers about him to his liking he found that he was seated hi proximity to a singularly pretty girl. Bhe was apparently traveling alone, and in view of the fgct that they Would be companions for a long time, Singleton considered that cpnversatlon with her might Just as well |>e estaliUsbed soon as late. Indeed, better. After It had been opened lie eopgratu-' lated himself on hnvfng held that opinion. She was indisputably a very nice tin Indeed. She had, to begin with, I most captivating ejes and a clear fresh ▼ot«c. She boasted, too, au entirely charming smile, which really repaid •ne for the trouble of being witty, and filsclosyff pa ndqiUop a set of teeth that •hone like pearls. He was reluctant «t the end of a ebiiple of hours to describe her as a ‘‘Jolly little filtt," but tfcut la what he called her mentally before be liked her so much. * , tca, I acknowledge It Is my first visit to yoor oountry,” he said, when •he taxed him with being a '‘Britisher,” “and I'm horridly forloru! I’ve uohody to tell me what I ought to see, or where I ought to go. Don't you sympathise with me?” “Tremenduouely," she declared, with another of her cnpltlvattng smiles. “Why don’t you buy a guide book?” **l didn't know you’d got so fur as guide books over here,” he said. ‘‘Really? You are getting on famously for a new country." Bhe laughed, hut averred she was Indignant. Her Indignation was very piquant; but he implored her to forgive him. He was lu doubt wbeu she consented, whether her forgiveness was aot more Irresistible tbau her in dlguatloa. “Of course,” she asked, after a few ■Routes, “you are going to visit Niagara? You have heard of Niagara?" “A waterfall or a mountain. Isn't It?” Inquired Mr. Singleton. “A mountain," she said, ‘'with buffatoea «U the top. They grew there, you know, and live on the pumpkins.” “It must be very interesting,”'lie said gfavely. l'Yre, I shall go there one day U I have timet' She stared at him and tlieu clapped her hands gayly. “I do honestly lielleve,” she exclaimed, “that you menu that! Is It possible you don't know that we touch Niagara on the way to Chicago, and that you can continue the Journey by a later train?” "No.” said Hlnglelon, "upon iny Word 1 did not know. What a duffer 1 am. Then I can go to-day?” “Of course you oau," she answered. “Lot* of the people round its will do that. It gives you a couple of hours •r so ut the Falls.” “And are you going?” he asked gaickly. “I don't know," said she tantalislug|y. “No, 1 don't think so," “O, do," he l>egged. “I know I shall (all in, nr something If T go alone- and then think of your responsibility.

He hud 1 wen nwnre from the com wcDccuient that his persuasions to her would isrevall, hut ho felt, nevertheless, a glow of unreasoning satisfaction when they at Inst loft the primitive station together uad got Into the rackety trap, whose driver chatted fut'ts and figures so incessantly.

"If you will give me that, photograph back for a moment I should like to write something on It. . lyill you?”, She withdrew if coldly, and taking out hts pencil case and leaving a blank for her name, he wrote: “Here Was Joat Miss —.’h good opinion, and Mr. Berqy Singleton's peace qf mind.” He restored it to her respectfully. ‘‘l hpve •been obliged to om|t your name,” he said, “but you know It Is voUrs tbit la meant.” “I am aware at do reasop why I should conceal Pry name,'’ she Replied.

She declined It with chilly politeness. He looked out through the window and wished he had never met her—wished be had met her ltefore Bob had—wondered what the deuce was to be the end of It all. Not a nice wife for Bob, be decided; a nice wife for himself, he thought madly, but —well, no, not a nice wife for himself either, considering she was engaged when she Jet him take her to Niagara and touch her hand.

How many hours had tossed while be looked at her? Had ho slept, Uad lie eaten, had he smoked, or had he lived on folly and on love? She was gathering up her scent-bottle, her books, and her gloves. Somebody spoke. She gave a cry of pleasure, and he perceived Bob Collier holding out his arms to her, and next they kissed. Collier could see him across her shoulder.

“Percy, my dear old Percy!” he exclaimed. He wrung his baud and laughed with delight. Then he turned from him to the girl and laughed again. “Why, this Is funny,” lie declared. “You two have been traveling up from New York together and don’t know each other.

Mrs. Cleveland's Courtesy.

The following pretty story Is tokl of Mrs. Grover Cleveland: At one of the public receptions given at the \yblte House, an old lady who wus up iu the line that was pushing Its way forward to slmkc hands with the lTesl-, dent's wife dropped her lmmikcrchicf Just before getting to Mrs. Cleveland. She was too ok! and rheumatic to stoop down null recover It, and thoso hack dt her In the line were too intent upon getting the oue Meeting glimpse possible of the mistress of the White House to notice the old lady’s loss, and tho handkerchief was trampled upon roughly. Just Isjfore the old lady reached her, Mr*..Cleveland stepjied out of tier place ami deftly picked up the handkerchief, tucked It lu fier dress, and taking her own fresh one, which was of the most delh-ate dainty lace, smlllngljr lmhded It to tho old lady With tlie sweet remark: "Please take mine, and when you get homo send It buck to me, will you?” And when the handkerchief came back to her Mrs. Cleveland returned that of the owner, freshly laundered, lying on the top of a Isautlful box of rosebuds that came from the Whlto House conservatory.

WHEN SHEEP SHOULD HAVE WATER. The idea ‘ that'sheep iiV pasttirfc need no water except what i they j gstjrom feeding on grass wet with ffor,.;aa most erroneous one. In June, when tne grass is itself suoqnicpL slieep Paat«tyc may somplpnes get along very well without any water. But during there are many nights when’ nd dew falls and when the grass is itself parched so that there is little sitocuiencc lh it. iAt such periods the ekcrfcmewt of shetfp will be in rtßuul. hard lutups, it is in yyintcr, and when tliis conaitipn shows’itself, it means that the anifttaU''Want itibre water. “ii-.f .uahui Li ’- *i to CHICKENS AND OTHER FOWLS.

CABBAGES AS STOCK FOOD, she value of the cabbage as food for stock may 1 be summed tip as stdhg in two points, the large animrnt that can be grown upon an acre of soil and micculency, which in ahe s it a milk-produc-ing food easily digested. But it required strong soil and gpod cultivation, does, not'keep well for winter use’unless pitted where it Will be frozen until spring, and even then having but a short season, while if stumps and any decayed leaves fed it is almost impossible to prevent it imparting a rank, unpleasant flavor to tne'mifk And butter. Or even to the meat, unless itk i use is discontinued two or three weeks before the slaughtering. As regards the qutritiye value Professor Johnson in Agricultural Chemistry estimated seventy pounds of cabbage to have about the same value as four pounds of oil cake, twelve pounds of pea straw or 120 pounds of turnips. The last we thinj. he bases upon the flat or English turnip, which are not as nutritious os the rutabaga. The value of the cabbages, a$ of the roots, is best found when a small amount is given along with coarse, dry fodder and a limited amount of grain.— The Cultivator.

REASONABLE WAY TO INTRODUCE QUEENS. _ J hcre is no sure way which will at all times and under all conditions prove successful. Last year I tried a method which I neVcr saw advocated and it proved quite a success. Go to a hive to which you wirh to introduce a new queen, take out about four frames of capped brood with all the adhering bees and put them into an empty hive. Be sure to leave the old queen in the old jiivc., .Place oq top of the frame* of, the n?w hive your queen cage containing the tiew queen, close up the hivt and Tontract the entrance to about one incu. 'the older liers will leivg tlul hive and join the ones op tlie old .stand, wh))c the young bees \yill liberate the qtiei.it in tvffl Or three days and acceplt her all right. After she commences to lay nicely, go tfl the pi dr hive upd kill the old uucen. Ah er ttyo days; of quuenlcssnos the i>ee* can be taken Out, frames and all, and placet! ihiO the new hive. They will mo*t always unite peaceably. (The advantages of this method arc that yop can introduce, a queen the saitie day you receive Iter, and the qld onfc keeps on laying while (he young one being introduced. Should the bees prove hostile to the young queen and kill her, you still have the old one left. I introduced thirty queens in this way lari year and was successful with twenty-eight of them.— ll Cr. Herman in Nexo ktigland Homestead.

PREVENTING ANNOYANCE PROM FLIES. During the hot months of July, August and September, Hies cause great loss by annoying dairy cows fattening cattle and work horses. If the entire neighborhood would co-operate in keeping swamps drained and premises clean the Hy pests would not be so bid. Of coarse, in new countries, flies breed in prairie grass, particularly marshy lands. Here they cannot be controlled so readily. The covering of work animals is of considerable advantage, hut this docs not help much when the flics arc very numerous. With dairy cattle and stock not at work, possibly one of the best methods ofr preventing lo*s is lo ke«p them stables during the heat of the da», f .Wirt will not go fmo dark 1 Id otfscr*trvtf&tr the *H«ct of flica/tm milch Jmrs, Professor W, L.

Live the hogs all the blood-heating foodp. they cam devour iti hot weather, and sooner or later they may oome down with |h<U cholera. I. Likewise feed the with ia, heavy grgin (diet and deny them the, twec„ succulent grass and root, of su/ntner, and they will have hot, fev-eri.-h blood which may show itself iff milk fever or iiny other trouble. Keep the sheep ii) hot, stifling, ill-vyutilated, foul-smelling. sheds these hot summer nights and we cannot expect them to escape skin disease, which may spread froth one to another, and ruin half the value of the flock. If the poultry is kept in similar unsanitary quarters summer or winter they will be infested by lice; licks and other diseases, which will keep down their weight and prevent good egg laying.

A large proportion of animal diseases come just from such simple causes A little neglect and carelessness in hot weather may start the whole trouble. I he diseases can be prevented Jargely by keeping the animals In clean, cool places day and night throughout the 'sumrfief, feeding tlrirn With cooling and nourishing foods, watering thent with clean, IteUli wateii regularly, cleaning their skia and hdir if necessary/very;often ,if filth and dirt idcuirralate there, and, above ajl, by catering to tiieir eorn fort so far as possible every dayN- If in spite of all these precautions diseases do appear in the flock, it is better to make a change immediately. Single out the two or (three that shoqr the first signs of any distemper, and put them off- by themselves. Change the quarters of ,the rest of the flock, arid watch for any sighs of disease arriong them. The animals that show the first symptoms can then be treated separately according to some home method, or by one who has made a specialty of such matters. Very often a dose of some simple medicine to clean the blood and stimulate the digestive organs will put the auiinals back into,their normal condition. The symptoms and course of speh complaints shfiuld be vttatched closely. Contagion in this way may be checked at the outset. It is rtot safe tQ leave with the flock any animal that shows signs of weakness, dunipishness or sickness. Separate the animal immediately, even though it prove nothing but common stomach trouble or a slight fever. It is always best to keep on the safe side.—£. P., Smith, hi American Culth>aio\r. !

MYSTERY IN TRAIN ROBBING.

Weitern Epidtm'c !• Over, bat the Kallroad Men Don’t Know Why. “Maybe you have noticed,” said the Western railroad manager Kast on a little business trip, “that the. epidemic of train robbing that broke oilt in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming about a year ago Is over. Maybe, too, you think tltat It Is because tbo railroad compan* les ran the guilty fellows to earth and sent them up for long terms. But they didn’t. ~..

"As a matter of fact, the railroad authorities are just as much puttied over the sudden subskleoet of the train-rob-bing fever as anybody else. Whether the business was so unremunerative as not to be worth the risk, whether some >f the fellows got in Jail for running i little side line like bank blowing or tafe criteking, nobody know*. It’s all a big mystery to US. "A year ago tlie pistol slingers had tlie Western road* terrorized. They sent out their detectives the moment word came In that a robbery had l>een committed, bloodhounds Were bought nnd armed gustrds employed to ride cm all trains that ml girt be thought to Is; attractive to thieves.
