THE WITCH WIFE'S CHARMS.

As‘l came down the budding lane, The birds a-singing free, There came along an old witoh wife, And shrilly called to me. ;

* Oh, buy a charm, young maid!’ she said, *Oh, buy a charm of me, To chain thy sweetheart to thy side Though he is on the sea.’’

* I wil] not do it, dame,"” I said, * If false at heart he bp. I'd rather have a charm to keep His face afar from me!l"”

* Oh, buy a charm, young maid!" she said, ¢ Oh,buy a charm of me, To break the curse of foes of thing -« Who might work ill to thee.”*

* I will not do it, dame,’ I sald, *‘ If foul of heart they be, A deeper curse is laid on them Than aught they lay on me."’

“ Oh. buy a charm, young maid!’’ she safd, * A potent charm of me, & ! To bind the strong heart of thy friend In love and loyalty.”

¢ I will not do it; dame!’’ I laughed, ¢ The charm could never be Could make or break the chain that binds My friend's strong heart to me!"’ —Margaret Gilman George, in Youth's Companion. 2

BEN’S BID.

“Why don’t you raise chickens for the market?’ suggested Hiram Bassett, the village storekeeper, to Ben Singer. Ben was fourteen years old. His mother had died a short time before. ,His father was a carpenter by 'trade,?’ but had been crippled by rheumatism so that he could not work. Ben; who always looked on Mr. Bassettas a friend of undoubted fidelity and great resources, had been telling the storekeeper how much he wished he could get some steady work. Mr. Singer’s little stock of money was exhausted; he had already sold some of his tools to get the food he dand his son needed. Ben realized that the day was rapidly coming when there would be no way of getting more, unless he managed to do something of greater profit than the odd jobs he picked up now and then from the surrounding farmers. “I'll do it,” said Ben, in response to Mr. Bassett’s suggestion, and, turning about, trudged home, and all the way was planning how he might begin.

A week later the ‘‘chicken farm,” as Ben called it, was a fact; at least he had made a start. In his spare time he had constructed some coops from old barrels and a box or two. The pay for two days’ work he invested in three dozen eggs, and with the money obtained by sorting some vegetables for the storekeeper bought two hens which were just about to ‘‘set.” He and his father already had five pullets, and within a couple of -weeks more there were tive '‘clutches” of eggs under as many of his hens. :

He fed his chickens from the screenings he got at a small price from several of the farmers. The hens managed, too, to pick up a good deal of food among the bushes and in the tiny garc{en back of the house. Ben worked hard at the small jobs he was given round about, and waited with confidence {or the time when he should be able to make something irom his venture. ;

He would have felt much happier if it hadn’t been for his father’s condition. Mr. Singer &id not complain of the rheumatism, though it still kept him confined to his big chair. But something worried him very much; the boi could see that. 4le asked what it was several times, but Mr. Singer’s only reply was that he suffered, he felt downhearted on account of being so crippled. He tried to make Ben think that that was all that distressed him, but the boy could not believe it. Slowly the flock of chickens grew. The eggs hatched remarkably well. Fifty downy little balls were soon running in and out of the coops where their mothers were confined. Four more ‘‘clutches” of eggs were Inder that number of new hens, which he had bought and paid for in installments of work. The first days of summer saw him with seventy-five\ young thickens, some of them able to scratch for themselves. It took all he could now make to keep his father and himself in fcod and to provide for his farm, but he was always on the alerig/f_o;/i job, and was as cheerful as he“could be, so that the neighbors all liked to employ him when they could. Ben had told his father of his plan, and explained that as few of the farmers raised chickens, except for their own use, he thought there ought to be a chance to make something by shipping them toWaynesboro, the bigger town, five miles away. Mr. Singer was not altogether confident of the success of such an experiment, but he said nothing to discourage the boy, and used to sit near the windows and watch the broods and talk to Ben about them. July and August went by, and the young chickens thrived, Only a few of them were lost. A prowling 'possum got several before Ben trapped the marauder. Ccld and rain killed off a few more. But the first of Septemiber ecame and more than sixty chickens were the boy’s.

‘' Ben planned to sell thirty or forty in the early antumn and to keep the remainder till the next summer to stock his farm with afresh. He intended to go into it then on a bigger scale, and he hoped to realize enough from his sales to keep him through the winter with the part of his flock he retained. -

Then, one day in September, as he and his father sat in the doorway of the cottage, Ben noticed a couple of tears trickle down his father’s face. _He jumped up and threw his arms iaround his father’s neck. He was frightened and he did not understand just what was the matter.

Yresently Mr. Singer unclasped the boy’s hands and looked him in the face. “Ben,” he said, “I'm_afraid we are in for hard times yet.” _ “What do you mean, Dad?” asked Ben. : : “T'he house is only rented,” said Mr. Singer slowly; ‘‘they can’t take that, but they can take all our furniture and everything else.” : ; “Why, they belong to us,” exclaimed Ben. . / “So they do, Ben, but the law gives another man the right tosell them and Aake the money they bring if we owe bhim money and can’t pay it.”’ “And we owe somebody money? I thought Dr. James was paia?’ “So he was. But there is some one else’'to whom I owe money—a man I ‘borrowed from when your mother was sick. lowe him one hundred dollars, He has what they call my note. I haven't been able to poy him, and now %O 1% Fig Nuz' aly w;}‘ km%fim@

it as possible by selling what we have. He was bhere to see me about it the other day, and I tried to get him to wait. But he says he’s tired of waiting and the sheriff’ll come and sell us out.” o :

Ben had a fairly good idea now of the situation. He tried to comfort his father, but it was of little avail. Mr. Singer felt his helplessness and the disgrace keenly, and did not know what would become of them. ‘Ben worried over what he had heard all night long, but he could find no way out of their difficulty.- v The next day he took ten of his biggest chickens to the village store. He had already arranged with Mr. Bassett to have them sent to a commission merchant at Waynesboro and sold. After he had .delivered the chickens and Mr. Bassett. had promised to get him the money for them as quickly as possible, the idea struck the boy of asking the storekeeper about a sheriff’s sale. The thing puzzled him a bit yet, and he indulged a faint hope that, if he knew just how it was done, he might be able to hit on a way out of it. ‘“Mr. Bassett,” he said, ‘‘how does a sheriff sell you out?” Perhaps the storekeeper had an idea of the trouble. But if he did, he gave no sign of it, and tried to explain to Ben how such a sale was conducted. ‘‘And the people at the sale,” he concluded, ‘‘offer to buy what is offered, and the sheriff sells to the one who makes the highest bid.” : Ben asked several questions before he left. Then he walked slowly home, and all the while, in his mind; he was turning over a dimly defined project which had been suggested to him by what he had heard.

A week later Ben received the money for his chickens—three dollars and eighty cents. He was a proud boy, and he would have shown his satisfaction more if it had not been for the impend ing trouble, which made his father so miserable that he could not leave his bed. Ben bought some fruit for twen-ty-five cents, and took it home to him, but Mr. Singer was feeling so bad that he ate of it only sparingly. : On a Monday in the early part of the next month the sheriff, in pursuance of formal notice, arrived at the house to make a sale to satisfy Mr. Singer's creditor. Quite a crowd had gathered about the cottage, and thére was not one present who did not sympathize with the carpenter and his son. Ben’s father was very ill that morning and could not leave the bed. The sheriff mounted a box in the yard and began a description of the goods to be sold. It was a pitiful array, after all. A few tools, a wiscellaneous assortment of cheap furniture, a kitchen stove with some cooking utensils and china, and some linen and blankets. Butone item. in the lot—the chickens—the sheriff counted on as his drawing card. Half a hundred of fine hens and marketable chickens were cooped in' a nearby pen, and upon the value of thase the county officer ‘dwelt at length. Then, when he thought he had the crowd sufticiently around, he named a starting figure in default of &n actual bid.

*Sixty dollars for this choice lot of chickens and household goods,” he cried. >

There was no response. He repeated the announcement, then dropped the figures to fifty dollars. Still no one spoke. A

- The sheriff made some further remarks about the articles for sale and tried again at forty dollars. Bnt the crowd was dumb. No one felt inclined to buy out the crippled carpenter and his son.’ :

The sheriff tried again and again, dropping the figures lower and lower, and all the time growing more vociferous in the explanation of the bargain which was offered. He did not specially like the job, for he had been told about the case by some of the village people, but -he had a duty to perform, and he knew he must get as much out of the sale as he could.

The figures had dropped to ten :dollars, but silence reigned, except for a defiant erow from one of the roosters in the pen. Mr. Singer’s creditor, evidently, had no representative on the ground, and even the low price named was not taken up with. : The sheriff dropped his offer now, a dollar at a time, but, apparently, in vain. It looked as if the safe would come to nothing. _ Nine! Eight! Seven! - Six! ive! Four! Not a response came from those Gbout.:

**Three dollars!” The sheriff was smiling at the ridiculous offer, and was just about to name two dollars and one dollar in quick succession, hoping for no reply, when a boyish voice, close at hand, answered: L **] bid three dollars!” ;

The officer looked down on the speaker and saw Ben. The boy held up three oue-dollar notes in his hand. The sheriff smiled. More than one man in the crowd felt like cheering the bidder. But the officer knew he could not aecept the offer at once. ; ‘“Three dollars I am bid!” he answered. *“‘Who bids four?”

No one spoke. ‘ “*Three dollars and a-half, then?”’ he said.

Every one was silent, and the suggestion of three dollars and a-quarter, likewise, went unanswered. Three dollars was the one bid offered, and, after one expostulation, the sheriff took the offer.

Ben handed the money to the sheriff, who congratulated him on his purc¢hase with an earnestness he had seldom felt on oceasions of this kind, and there was not one of the farmers who did not come forward and speak a kindly word of praise and encouragement to the boy. ; But Ben was listening to little of all of this; he slipped away to his father, who could only strain the boy to him while the tears streamed down his face. :

The chickeu farm was saved, and the chicken farm proved a success; A year later, when Mr. Singer was once more working steadily, and his rheumatisn was gone, his ereditor was paid in full the amount borrowed from him, and the proceeds from Ben’s chicken farm did not a little to make up the sum required.—Chicago Inter Ocean. #old Glory.” i The new star that is to be added to the national llag to represent Utah will be placed to the right of the fourth row from the top.

THE FARMING WORLD.

BUTCHERING BEEVES.

How Farmers Can Have Good Meat All Through the Winter.

With care in feeding and butchering, the farmer can have a supply of the best beef all through the winter. One advantage in raising and butchering your own meat is that you know exactly the kind and quality of the meat you are eating and this cannot always be said of what is bought dressed from the average country butcher. A two-year old heifer if kept in good condition, so as to be thrifty and vigorous, makes good beef and the carcass is not usuaily so large but that an average farmer’s family can use it to advantage. Cheaper beef can only be had by fattening an old cow with good pasturage and corn. c The animal should have nothing to eat for at least twelve hours before killing, as its entrails will not then be distended and it can be cleaned easier and the carcass will cool out more rapdiy, : The animal is best killed with a rifle ball, shot midway of a line from one eye to the opposite horn, or it may be killed by a blow in the same spot with a sledge or ax. As ’&{;)n as it falls cut a gash square across the throat, severing the jugular vein. When proper conveniences are at hand the carcass may be run up at once or it may have the skin removed on the ground with very little trouble and the entrails removed, making the task of running up to cool out an easier one. Cut the hide from the throat along the brisket and central line of the belly between the thighs to the tail, and then, from this cut along the inside of the legs to the hoof. Commence at the hoof and skin down each leg and then take the skin from one side of the body. If the animal is lying on the ground spread out the hide and roll the animal over on that side and remove the skin from the other side. v :

If the carcass has been run up after the hide is taken off the legs, the better plan is to skin round and down. Be careful not to cut any gashes in the hide, as this cduses a dockage of from one-third to one-half in the price. Take off the fore legs at the joint and the hind ones about three inches below the hock joints. : ' To remove thé entrails, open along the middle of the belly and brisket, cutting from the inside, running the finger along ' ahead of the knife through the belly. Open the carcass and wash it out well with cold water, using a cloth, if necessary, to remove the blood. After cooling off split the carcass through the middle of the backbone with a saw, working from the inside. Use the saw for cutting all bones, as much neater work can be done. 1t can then be quartered and taken down and cut into convenient pieces for salting.—St. Louis Republic.

PURE WHITE HONEY.

This Is by All Odds the Best Winter Food

for Bees.

Too many people have an idea that, while only the best honey will do to market, anything that the bees will eat is good enough for them. The first part of this idea is all right, the second all wrong. Probably the greatest winter danger to bees is from dysentery, and that is usualiy caused by improper food or a cold hive. Of the two causes I consider the first most common. When the autumn honey flow is limited and much space remains untilled, the bees undertake to patch out their stores with the juice of decaying fruits, ete. This istotally unfit for them, and particularly fatal during the fall and winter. The vicinity of cider mills is an undesirable location for an apiary, on that account. The pomace is very injurious to them asa winter food. One should be ecareful, too, what artificial food is given ‘to them in the fall.© Save dubious material you want cleaned up till spring, when, if not absolutely poison, it usually will not injure them. Of course, nothing questionable may be given them while the sections are on. :

The very best bee food for winter is pure white honey. That seems to contain the least indigestible matter. Next to this comes pure honey of a darker shade. If artificial food be necessary (do not skimp them to avoid feeding) use pure granulated sugar syrup. This is the best at any time, but so much of successful wintering depends upon good food that one should be especially particular in the fall feeding. One may at times have other material quite as unobjectionable as this, but where one is in doubt, the advice of an experienced apiarist should be sought before using it.— American Gardening.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.

Adapted to a Wider Range of Growth Than Other Varieties, f Blue grass (Poa pratensis) /is frequently spoken of as Kentucky blue grass because of its marked adaptability to the soil of Kentucky. Itiis probably adapted to a wider r#nge of growth than any other variety pf grass. It is best adapted to loam soils with a good leaven of clay in them, hence it will always grow better on timber land when cleared than on the prairie. But it will always grow in fairly good form on light sands, on stiff clays, and on the spongy loam soils of the prairie. On sandy soils, however, it has been known in some few 'instances to succumb in time of extreme drought. Blue gpass is very aggressive in its habit ‘rowth. When once introduced i a pasture it is capable of everntually crowding out nearly all other kinds of grass, and in fields laid down to grass it will soon putin an appearance if it has ever been previously grown upon the same land. But it is easily destroyed for the time being by cultivation. [

This grass grows early in the season and again in the autumn. It is usually in head by thearrival of June, hence the name June grass. Itis/'of a fine and thick habit of growth, and all kinds of stock are extremely fL)nd of it. It is also very nutritious. }jlts ‘weak points are, too little bulk for hay crops, fi :' !‘; 7\ .

It furnishes the most common form of permanent pasture found in America. i It is more commonly sown by hand and in conjunction with other grasses, and it is usual to sow with{a ‘‘nurse” crop. If sown alone, two bushels of seed (fourteen pounds to the bushel) are recommended, but if the seed is fresh and good a considerably less quantity will suffice. In prairie countries where it has not hitherto been grown, blue grass may be introduced by scattering a few pounds ¢f seed per acre on the unbroken prairie early in the spring.—Prairie Farmer,-

NEURALGIA OF THE HEART.

The Terrible Disease That Attacked Mrs. Henry Osting.

Slowly Losing Her Life—FPhysicians Were Powerless—Friends Were Helpless—- ' At Last Bhe Found a Remedy : - With Which She Cured Herself and Laughed at Physiclans.

From the New Era, Greensburg, Ind

Hearing through Messrs. Bigney & Co., druggists, of Sunman, Ripley County, Ind., that Mrs. Osting, wife of Henry Osting, a prominent and influential citizen of that town, had been cured of a bad case of neuralgia of the heart and stomach the editor of the New Era determined to know for the satisfaction of himself and the benefit of his readers the truth in regards to the matter, and took advantage of a trip to Sunman last weel.

The Osting residence is a very handsome one, and on every hand is seen the footprints of good fortune. Mrs. Osting herself, hale and hearty, invited us into her cosy parlor. One could hardly believe by looking at the lady, who showed all signs of good health, that she was but nine months ago a despondent victim of that dread disease, neuralgia of the heart and stomach. In answer to the question if she had been cured of a bad disease of neuralgia by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and as to whether she objected to'an interview, she replied in her pleasant way, ‘“Why, no sir, I don’t, for they’ve done me such a wonderful good that I feel I owe everything to them.” And the statement was to be believed, for she was the example of perfect health, and we were informed by her neighbors and friends that but a short while ago she was only aliving corpse. / Murs. Osting continued: ‘“No sir; I never did have good health; I was always naturally weak.. When-quite young I bégan experiencing trouble from my heart and stomach which the doctors said was neuralgia. I was continually suifering great pain, but not one of the many well-versed physicians from whom I received treatment was able to do me any good. Severe, sharp pains would shoot over my entire body and more severely through my heart and stomach. | My entire system became nervous as pains would increase; my appetite began to fail, and for weeks Icould hot eat a meal—just mince over the victuals. I couldn’t sleep, and would only pass the nights in agony. It's a wonder that I kept up at all, for it’s so little that I could eat and sleep for I suffered so. No physicians could do me any good. My family physician said the case was hopeless. I was discouraged. I had tried every medicine that I could hear of, that was claimed to be good for my troubles, but not one did me the least good. Finally, I heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and our druggist, Mr. Bigney, advised me to try them, for he said they had done so many people good. l'had no faith in patent medicines then, for none had done me any good, but I thought I would try them, for surely they couldn’'t hurt me.. I found relief immediately after I began taking them, and the longer Itook them the better I got. By the time I used six boxes I was entirelf; cured. 1 neverhad been able todo my wor before.. I began taking the pills last Qctober and in December I was well and able to do my work. I can truly say, for the benefit of other sufferers, that I owe my health to Dr. Williams® Pink Pills.” :
