A SIMPLE RUSE

George Schuyler waa Sen yean older than Helen Gante▼oort There waa enough of the same Dutch Idea left In George to make him a dutiful son a* there was enough of toe same Dutch in Helen to make bar a dutiful daughter. George Scholar had been brought up to believe one day he must marry Helen Oanavvoort, and Helen Ganzevoort bad been brought up to believe that oee day she* most marry George lebnytor. The Schuylers were not rich, aa has ten said, and when George was 10, Inatoad of being sent to college he wm* shipped west, to see If he could pb* op s fortune. Helen was at that hi— ii years old, and ahe did not tool keenly at all the parting with her prospective husband, and It must be nnnfessril that George didn’t shed tears when he said good-by to thto plain little girl with her hair In pigtails, Qeorge Schuyler went to San Franchsoo, and there in the course of nine jwn he did manage to pick up what to* farmer calls a “tidy bit of money." George went east twice during his San Francisco stay, but both times Helen Gansevoort was abroad. They wrote

each other once every three months, ul while there wasn’t a line of affection In the letters on either side, there «as enough In them to show that each felt that the old marriage arrangement made by the parents still stood. George Schuyler was 28 years old. His Income now was large enough to justify him In marrying, and In feeling that he wouldn’t hare to go to the tmrsao drawer every morning to find his wife's purse. George was going W* to take a bride that he hadn’t •sen In nine years, and It’s Just barely possible that he didn't feel overly comfortable at the prospect As a mattor of fact, George Schuyler liked bachelorhood. No woman ever as yet bed stirred his pulse. His gun and his red were more to him than all the women In the world. But George had been getting letters from his aged parents, who said that it was time he cases seat and went to wooing In earnest He wrote that he would start In n week, but that on his way he was to stop for a few days’ fishing with an old friend on the Beaverklll, that ideal trout stream which tumbles down the southern slope of the Catskills on Its way to Delaware. George Schuyler took his fly book end bis split 1 win boo rod on the first, morning after bis arrival at his friend’s wilderness lodge and started eat to whip the stream for the speckled beauties. He was In wading boots hip high, and down the stream he went, dropping his “coachman” lure to the surface of every pool where It looked as though a trout might lurk. Lock was only fair and the sun was getting high. Trout don’t like the glare of the midday sun and they keep „ away from the surface, no matter how tempting the morsel offered for consamptlon. George Schuyler was thinking about reeling In and going back te the lodge, when suddenly at a place where the Beaverskill broadened be n« e country girl, in a calico dress end ennbonnet, sitting at the water’s edge. She was listening to the song a t a brown thrasher that, tilting on a Ijgjp tree top, was pouring forth Its medley for the benefit of his sunbonnetsfl friend. George Schuyler stopped In midstream. He did not wish to disturb (he bird’s 'solo, upon which the listentog flri seemed so Intent He stopped, hot slipped on a round stone and qpteabed the water, which was calm end still just there. The thrasher went teto tee thicket like e flash and the girl turned her head just as quickly. Oserge Schuyler saw a face under toe Shadow of the huge country bonnet teat wee much more than pretty and which had in It that which men Igktly e*ll character. George’s flshesowa’s cap was off in an Instant OQned mornings” are allowable In the sstodsraeas without the formality of

“I am just about to stop fishing and go back to the lodge of my friend, Mr. Payson. Can you tell tne If there is a shorter path than the stream Itself?” The girl nodded brightly. “Yes," ■he said, “you can take the trail through the tamarack*. It begins just here." Then the girl turned her attention once more to the brown thrasher, who gave symptoms of being willing to start bis solo once more. Schuyler thanked the girl courteously and after reeling In his line started along the trail indicated. When he reached his friend James Payson’a lodge the first thing be said was: “Jim, in the name of all that's lovely, who Is your sunbonneted neighbor with a voice like a bubbling spring and eyes like those of the girls in old Herrick’s poems?” Jim Payson laughed. “You must have run across old Cheney's daughter. He has 400 or 500 rocky acres with a little house on them. Mary Is his only daughter, and he put her through Vassar and made quite a lady of her. She is a beauty and no mistake. Hit you first time, eh, old man?” Schuyler colored a little and said: “Well, not exactly hit, Jim. I must not be hit, you know, but the girl to attractive and no mistake.” That evening Jim Payson asked his guest If he wouldn’t like to go over and call on old Oheney. There was no hesitancy In falling In with the proposal. They found old Cheney on the porch smoking his pipe. He was a white-haired old fellow of the farmer type, and while he admitted It was hard wringing cropß from the stony Oatskill slope, yet he said he wouldn't give up bis mountainside with its air and scenery for the best valley land on the continent Then George Schuyler met Mary Cheney. James Payson did the Introducing. Schuyler found his flower all that he had expected from the glimpse that he bad caught of its beauty in the morning. The girl was refinement itself, and as Schuyler looked at the old fellow sitting In the porch corner puffing contentedly at bis corncob pipe lie wondered how this slip could have come from such a parent stem. Well, It’s better to make It short, George Schuyler stayed a week and then lingered for two more. He wrote to New York that he was enjoying the fishing. So he was for about an hour every morning. One day he brought himself up with a round turn. He thought of his duty to Helen Ganzevoort.

He knew In his heart that Le loved this girl of the mountainside who had a voice like one of the veeries that sing every day at sunset That night he went to Mary Cheney and told her aIL He knew somehow that the girl had grown to love him as he bad grown to love her, They stood on the porch looking down onto the far-off valley. It was twilight and the veeries and the vesper sparrows were singing everywhere. He told ncr of his childhood engagement to Helen Ganzevoort *‘l have not seen her since she was 11 years old,” he said. "She cares nothing for me; she cannot She doesn’t even know me. The whole thing was a bit of parental foolishness, but nevertheless there is the question of my duty. I shall leave for New York the day after to-morrow. I will see Helen, and upon what she says and does depends all. I may have done wrong, Mary, In lingering here, bat I loved you, and let that fact plead for me.” Ho left her standing there, just as the last bird voices of the day were hushed and the whippoorwill took up his nightly chant Two days later Gqprge Schuyler stood in a Fifth avenue drawing-room waiting for the coming of Helen Ganzevoort The lights were bright On the wall bung a picture of Helen as he had last known her nine years before as a child. The eyes seemed to look at him reproachfully. There waa a light step behind him. He turned qnlckly. For a moment he felt frozen, then the blood went through him like a torrent In front of him In evening dress stood the girl whom but 48 hours before he had left on the mountalnaldeL “Mary,” he said. Something like a smile came into the girl’s face. “Not Mary, Georgy,” she said, “but Helen,” George Schuyler’s mind was befogged. “I don’t understand,” he stammered. “It’s easily understood, George,” she laughed. "Yon didn’t ‘suppose for a moment, did yon, that I wished to marry a man I never had seen and who I knew was to marry ms from sheer force of duty? Your mother told me you were going to stop at tbs Beaverklll to fish, and Mr. Payton, who Is an old family friend, and Giles, who Is an old family servant, and who, by the way, made a good farmer, did the rest” "Helen, what do you think of me?” “I think, George, that yon fell In love with me for what I am, and”— smiling—“l think I shall have to take you for what you are.”—Chicago Rec-ord-Herald.

MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.

Oh of the Moot Marvelous Contrlv* ■ncniu tbo World of iMlntrr. Glass spas at last been successfully blown by machinery and, as has generally been the case when mechanical means supersede hand methods, all feats of hand-blowing have been outdone. The secret of the remarkable Invention Is still hidden, but specimens of the work done have been shown. The cylinders are of Immense else, the largest being thirty Inches In diameter and nineteen feet long. The new machine is the Invention of John A. Lubbers, a glassblower of Allegheny, Pa. It has been built at the Alexandria, Ind., branch of the American Window Glass Company’s plant The process of blowing window glass Is simple In theory, but difficult In practice. On the end of a long tube a mass of molten glass Is collected. This Is then heated In a furnace and gradually distended by blowing Into a large tube with straight sides. To accomplish this without the peculiar twisting and manipulation employed by the human glassblower has puzzled many clever Inventors, and the Lubbers machine was made successful only after a great many experiments. Lubbers has Invented several laborsaving devices and this latest triumph Is likely to make him many times a millionaire when It Is generally In-' stalled. i Skilled mechanics from the Westinghouse factories In Pittsburg have been working behind barred gates and high walls for months in the erection and installation of the machines, which no man other than old and skilled employes of the company was allowed to 866. Patents have not yet been granted on certain parts of the machines and therefore the secrecy. ' y" So confident is the company of the merits of the machine that It Is preparing to spend thousands of dollars in Its Installation In all of the forty, one plants controlled by it in various parts of the country. It Is expected that the device will do away with hand blowers altogether. So confident are the men that this will be the case that many are getting out of the business. The better class of blowers earn from $450 to SOOO a month. —New York World.

Modern Antiquities.

The quest for things antique has led to systematic forgery and imitation on the part of dealers. Paris la the great center of this deceitful Industry, 6ays the Nation. There has been discovered In the suburbs a thrlv. ing factory for the fabrication of Egyptian mummies, cases and all. These are shipped to Egypt, and in due time return as properly antiquated discoveries. A funny story Is now current about a collector of medieval things. A certain clever workman in stone made to the order of a dealer In medieval antiquities a Venetian chlmneyplece of the fifteenth century, and received for his work some two or three thousand francs. The dealer shipped the chlmneypiece to Italy, and had it set up In a palace near Venice, bringing back to Paris photographs of the palace and of the chlmneyplece In situ. By means of these photographs he aroused the Interest of a rich collector, who sent his secretary to Venice to make sure that the photographs did not lie, and on his favorable report, bought the thing for fifty thousand francs. On the arrival of the article at his honse Tn Paris, he sent for some workmen to open the cases. One of them appeared to him to go about the work rather carelessly, and he remonstrated with the man, who answered, “Have no fear, sir. I know Just how it needs to be opened, for I packed It when it left Paris.”

Good Supply.

During the early years of his career as an evangelist the late D. L. Moody was not quite the practical man of affairs which he became as he grew older and his judgment ripened. A characteristic incident of this period of his life Is vouched for by a correspondent He was holding a series of meetings in a small town In central Illinois, where, with his wife, he enjoyed the hospitality of a prominent citizen. At dinner one day his fancy was particularly taken with some cucumber pickles. “I am very fond of pickles,” he said, “and these are certainly the finest I ever tasted. I wish I could get some Ilk* them In onr market at home.”

“I can give you all you want to take home with yon, Mr. Moody,” said his generous hostess. “But I don’t want them as a gift. I would like to buy them.” "Well, of course, if you would rather have them that way I can pickle a lot of them from our garden and the neighbors’, and my husband can send them to yon. What quantity would you want?” “I think a barrel would be enough,” said Mr. Moody, without a moment’s hesitation. "Send me a barrel of them.” But bore his more practical wife in-terfered;-and the order waa cat down to a small keg.

A Good Guess.

“John Jones, the patient who came In a little while ago,” said the attendant In the out-patient department, “didn’t give his occupation.” “What was the nature of his trouble?” asked the resident physician. “Injury at the base of the spine.” “Put him down as a book agent”— Philadelphia Press. When a woman reads her husband’* old lore letters, a certain expression gets into her eyes, and she says, di» dalnfolly; “My, how he has changed.'

FARM AND GARDEN

RAISING calves. It Is an extremely unwise policy to feed for ve»l or for beef the heifer calves from valuable and good milking cows. There are far too many unprofitable cows In the country, and the heifer calves from good milkers ought to be grown to take the place of thfelr mothers when their days of usefulness shall cease and also to replace the poor cows. As milk 1* an article of diet In Increasing demand, many farmers are desirous of getting the calves off their natural food as early as possible, and the problem to be solved Is how to keep and grew the young animals. Several excellent calf meals and milk substitutes are on the market, and a man may now sell all his milk and stJM"*aise the calves from his best cow, so aa to build up and strengthen his own herd, and also supply better material, If he has it, to his neighbors for the same purpose. Some persons, however, prefer their own mixtures. The following formala will make a very fair milk substitute: Flour, 16 2-3 pounds, linseed meal 33 1-3 pounds, finely crushed linseed cake fifty pounds. Two and a half pounds Of this mixture per lay will be required for each calf. Scald It in boiling water, then add enough more water to make two gallons, and add a little sugar and salt before feeding. As the result of a considerable amount of experimental work, the "ollowing mixture is said to give most satisfactory results: Wheat flour, thirty pounds; cocoanut meal, twenty pounds; linseed meal, two pounds; dried blood, two pounds. One pound of this is added to six pounds of hot water, stirred for a few moments, allowed to cool to 100 degrees, then fed to the calf from a pail or calf-feeder, the latter preferably. The calves are taken at seven to ten days old, and at first are fed twice a day on a ration of three pounds whole milk and one-half pound of the above mixture; In a few days—four to seven, depending on how the calf thrives —it is put on the full ration of calf meal. Wheat flour tends to keep the bowels from becoming too loose. Cocoanut meal contains twenty per cent, protein and nine per cent, fat.—American Cultivator. PEAS AD LIBITUM. To those who, like our family, are extremely fond of peas, the question often presents itself, “How may we have them early and In abundance?” Of late years the question has been solved to our satisfaction; but there was a time when two or three short, straggling rows were all we had, and one or two “blesses” all we could gather. Peas were a great and an annual disappointment. After some thinking and experimeting, the knotty problem has been solved. This is the way we plant them now; We select a warm, early spot In the garden where the frost leaves quickly, and where the soil may be prepared early in April. Two long rows are run through the garden with the cultivator, making a deep trench like that used for sweet peas, about six or eight inches wide. Plant the peas In a double row as thick as they can be planted, pressing them into the mellow earth as you go. Cover them with the hoe and press the row down by standing on the board markers. Your peas will be covered three or four inohes deep, and will resist drouth. The thick planting enables them to cover the ground well at the roots, and hold the moisture, a thing very essential to pease. We have discarded the tall growing varieties, not because they were not desirable, but because the men disliked the trouble of sticking them. During the dry season the cultivation of the grouad generally Insures sufficient moisture for the production of the crop. Gather peas early in the morning while the dew is on them. This gives the housewife a breath of delicious air. While she shells them she can rest in some shady nook and think over what she has lately read. At the proper hour put a large spoonful of Bweet butter Into a kettle; when warm pul in the peas and cover them tightly, letting them steam in the butter ten minutes, and starring them occasionally. Then pour in a cup of boiling water, cook ten miutes. longer, add a cup of rich milk, salt and pepper, then try and report.—M. R. Waggoner, In the Epitomiat.

POULTRY BREEDS. The first duty of the farmer who degree to succeed with poultry is to know the breeds end the best purpose for which each Bhould be applied. As the breeds differ in their characteristics, each is better adapted for some special purpose than any other, yet each may be deficient hi some respect There is no “perfect” breed. The “best” breed is best for some special use only. It may be the largest an< yet not the best in quality of flesh. It may be the best for laying sad yet be lacking in hardiness, size or for the table. It may be hardy and vigorous, more easily escaping disease than some, yet fail to equal another breed in laying. It may exoel as a non-sitter, while another breed may be necessary to pro-

vide the mothers for the next generation. If a “best” breed —a “general purpose" one, that combines everything that could be 'desired In a breed—should be Introduced there would consequently exist only one breed, as It would soon crowd all others out of existence, for, whether the breeds may be preferred for their beauty of plumage, or to afford pleasure, utility will always be dominant as a desire and will regulate the so lection of breds. SWINE ON PASTURE. While there is no doubt but pastur* during the summer is desirable for hogs as between house feeding and pasture without some grain, the former will produce the best results. We too forget that the swine can not consume the large quantities of coarse food that cows can, hence if not fed some concentrated food they soon fall off in weight, or, at least, do not take on aditional weight as they should. With the profit to be made from hogs within a very few months one can not afford to have a break in their growth. It is not neoessary to feed heavily of grain when the hogs are in pasture, only enough to keep them growing-and in good shape to make the best and quickest returns for the heavier feeding, which Is done after they are taken Indoors. —lndianapolis News. COST OF MILK. Relative to the cost of milk, a large Shorthorn cow requires much more food than a moderate-size, more thrifty and economical Ayrshire, and In estimating the cost of the milk of each from the food consumed, 14 quarts of Ayrshire milk could be produced for 20 cents a day with comparatively high feeding, while 16 quarts of Shorthorn milk may cost 34 cents with the same kind of feed, but given in larger rations. Ayrshire milk would cost less than 1 1-2 cents per quart for the food, while Shorthorn milk costs 2 1-8 cents the quart. To determine the question which Is the best cow to keep for a milk dairy so far as the case In point at least requires consideration of the tendency of the breed to produce milk or beef. Individuals differ in characteristics, however, and comparisons are made with difficulty. LATE FODDER A NECESSITY. Hungarian is very good If cut before it gets wiry. Cutting at this stage is very important, whether It is fed green or made for hay. We plant corn of some kind fairly early, and then later on, and think this is the best crop; none of the other crops can take Its place. We like to have corn enough to feed as long as It will remain green, and have a good supply secured in some way for late fall or winter. Last of all comes barley, and we know of no crop that will hold green so late in the season. By having a good supply of the above crops, we can get along quite well through the season. It la a necessity with us, as we are short of pasture —The Cultivator. PLANTING POTATOES. Discussing the German method of planting potaoes, with ample distance and with eyes under, so that the stems may grow widely apart, a foreign grower asserts that it not only saves In seeds, but produces more and better crops. Often in England a dozen tubers are used where only one would be enough, but it is difficult to make some Hew gardeners believe 1L

A Carlyle Shilling.

More than one point of interest can be claimed for the following story, told In the London V. C.: “My grandmother,” says the writer, “was very friendly with the ‘Sage of Chelsea,’ and frequently went in with messages, or to see him, during his visits there. On one occasion I waa sent out on an errand for Thomas Carlyle, and, being unable to get exactly what was required, I brought the nearest thing to it that I could get. On my return, after telling him I had not got the actual thing I was sent for, but that I had broifght Instead something else as near to It as possible, Carlyle produced a shilling, which he gave me, as he said: ‘Not because I had done as I was told, which was only what I ought to do, but because I had used my intelligence.' On returning home and telling my father about It, I waa very much disgusted when he told me not to spend the shilling, hut to have a hole made in It and keep it, as he said that Carlyle did not give many shillings away, and some day I should no doubt prize It. Although rather disgusted at the time, I kept the shilling, and It is today among my most treasured possessions." The double reason which the stern father gave In advising tee boy to keep the shilling will be appreciated by every Carlyle student. It is estimated that half a million New Yorkers are awake and busy, legitimately or otherwise, in night
