Tke IHtle white-faced woman, holding with trembing kands tbe blotted mper, read agam tke cruel letter tke letter from ker idolised hasband, deelarr ing his love for another, and his resolve to separate himself from his family for that other's sake. It kad come hours before: ske had read it over and over, and still she sat there, pallid, weak, not half comprehending yet the trouble that bad come upon her: conscious oaly that her heart's trust aad love had been be trayed, that she had. ioh tae presence dearest to ker on earth. The spring saaekiae, finding its way through among mr caiias ana geraniums, lay warm across the handsome carpet: ker birds caroled lightly in their dainty cage; ker baby boy slept soundly in his cub; aaa outside were all the sweet, soft odors of spring's buds and blossoms, and its couRttet hymns of gladness; while eke sat there in ker dumb misery, questioning if this were all true, if aha had lived to know ker idol fata and base, and her life's joy forever vanished, or if she were only ta tke meae of a fevered, delirkHM dream. Ske wa ewe of those goWea-haired, exqwitittay pretty little women, who seem seat into tke world expresely for men to take oare of, one who needed to he loved and cared for always, and kit ker to she had known no lack of taadereat devotion aad affcotkm. Six years before Louie Alston had taken ker from tke luxurious houvc of ker child hood, where ke kad known sorrow but by uame, to kk own elegant residence, juat finished aad furnished for his bride, and from their brief, blissful courtship, they kad entered on what appeared aa almost perfect wedded life. The young merchant wa? tke most attentive of kushaade, aad Mrs. Alston lived in a soaroely broken dream of happiness. After four years came tke tiny stranger asking admittance to both hearts, and then fife seemed indeed complete to pretty RoealM Alston, But when the little one oould barely utter aw parental title, nr. Alston's mien began to change. Ha eeaeed to eoma faam kk work wkk tke lighthearted smite ls wife kad karned to expect; he forgot sometime to kise tke baby hoy, of wkom ke had been so proud; and his manner oofistantly betrayed a bitter anxiety.

But to ker they spoke, gently always, of ker loss reverently, a; of tke dead, for ske was beloved bv all. Ske stayed ia the home where he had left her.

Tke pale woman, standing where ke had kissed his pretty wile good -by, looking so sadly unlike her former self, asked ker aching heart how many long, long years like this ere life's hold must be loosed from earth, and the years to come looked dreary indeed.

I will try to answer it. Castor beans are planted about the same time as corn; a little earlier is better. They may be planted with a corn-planter, in bilk about 4 feet apart each way, I or 5 beans in a hill. They are planted like corn, and when the plants are a foot high they should be thinned to 1 in a hill. In harvesting we pick .1 rows on each side of the wagon, the wagon running over 1 row. The pods are cut from the stock with a knife. It k necessary to pick these about twice a week when the weather is dry and warm, or they will waste in tke field. Tke pioking season lasts 0 or 8 weeks. No machinery k required to thresh them. A yard k made by ootting off tke grass from a piece of sod, or tramping plowed land with horses. Tke pode are then thrown on the yard, and the beans pop out by tke heat of the win. They are then swept up, run tkrougk a fanning-mill. and are ready for market. From 10 to 16 bushels per acre is a fair yield. . J. 0., Franklin County, Kas., in Exchange. SmiNO Cake ok Stock. Spring is at hand, and is one of tbe most critical periods of the year with our domestic animals. Mot farmers plaa to have their stock bring forth their young at this season. Extra care and attention needs to be given to all suoh, as well as other stock, as the change in weather produces lassitude and weakness. Fodder aad grain are often low at this time. Now is the time, when roots, grain and good feed generally, are needed to pre pare the system for tke change from dry to green feed.
