THE SHUTTING ~ OF A WINDOW. . - BY A. F. KRLFUS. TDAL CHICO was the son of a MexiB can matadore, and his early assoq ciations were not of a kind to develop a stable and'law-abiding character. Bal drank because he saw everybody else drink, and red wine brought into action in Bal that courage which thelmatadore displayed im the arena with sagacity and prudence! Red wine does not mature wisdom, theoretical or applied, and without these, which are indeed sagacity and prudence, courage becomes but pugnacity that amuses or offends. Bal's soon became offensive, and in a brawl in an indegent quarter of-his native town he had the misfortune to knife a young® grandee of tastes and weaknesses similar to his own, but of influential connections. The ‘wounded youth recovered, but political influence was sufficient to.cause his assailant’s removal to a penal settlement for 20 years. * Bal obtained nmo more red wine, but the mare hé weighed the offense of the knife attack, its provocation and its punislrment the clearer it seemed that he was suffering out of all proportion for, his transgression. The ‘sense of foill "wrong, done because it could be done, burned in upon him as if a brandiron were held against him, ever glowing aund never lifted. For months after he had discérned the immense range of this inju‘sti_ge he lived in a rage 'impedimental to speech—hre became inarticulate. . & - : ;s

‘Slowly his good sense came to:the rescue” and _he became calm, that he might live, rgrow strong af body ‘and poywerful through accumulation -‘and ~meet Don Pico as.master. There were men of different nationalities in the settlement, and Bai found that he absorbed words as a sponge absorbs-wa-ter, and he learned Portuguese, more than one pz‘;l(t'ois_ of kis own land and the dialect of a Peruvian Indian sent from ‘his owa province a year before, whom he had saved from imminent atrocity at ‘the hands of 4 vicibus fellow convict. This Indian 1131 ‘a virtue litfle known to civilization—he was capable of'gratdtude—and the two formed a mutual at“tachment that the ﬁriendshi‘ps of civilization may scarcely parallel and which was equaled but by their common hatred of all rulers, their own in particular. This Indian Bal knew to be ‘a snake charn@gr of extraordinary accomplishments? His gift was not transferable to.the younger man, nor did the latter soon discaver its singularity, but in time he found that Juan's power " over certain reptiles might be expressed as hypnotic. He seemed to impress his ~own masterfulness upon the serpents and to exert his power upon them at a distance, or to send them to perform ~some definite mission.at a ﬁdi‘stanc'e and return within a givén time, after the shabit of human subjects. = - Once Bal saw Juan with his pets at recreation. No word was spoken, but Juan looked meaningly at Bal and then at-the top of the wall. Bal looked and saw ‘a lizard thete, with, its head a-tjlt and 'the sun shining pink through its palpitant throat. Then something “slipped away from Juan, who watched the top of the wall, as did Bal.. By and “by.a bit of the awall moved—it seemed a bit of-the wall—it moved and coiled ‘and’ leaped;, and the little foray was over. Then ‘the devourer slipped back ‘and Juan.snapped his fingers and whispered to-it. = 2o -

‘“Was the lizard hypnotized, too?” Bal Chico asked bimself. - . . This branch of his accomplishment Juan never showed the prison officials when' they sent for him to exhibit for their amusement. . - The weary-years rolled by. *We will live; we must live. We will get even—you and me,” Juan whispered to himself over and over; and he whispered it to Bal when hé could, withthe same im-pgriou-s"'suggestivé.ness that he whispered something to his snakes, At last Juan’s 20 weary years were done; but the “man-witch’ had gotten much power. Some he amused when tired of the comnfonplace, but the many feared him, and when he chose to Wander around the settlement clad in breeches, a ponchoand a viper, after he was free to go far away, none objected, and few wagndered at the whims of so fantastic a being. e When Bal, a young man white-haired now, went out, old Juag awaited him at the prison gates, carrying a close-woven wicker crate, or basket, but neither extra clothing nor the usual snakes were visible, and from that day neither appeared in all that country. -~ Among the stupendous mountains of Peru gold may ibe ‘had for the seeking, but death is for the white man who seeks it. - When old Juan went back to his mountains and somé old acquaintances, with another swarthy man who spoke only as he did and was his friend, their right of occupancy of hut and lands was unquestioned, as were their bartering expeditions to the nearest seapo;_'t}‘ But Juan ;and Bal Chico did not always exchange their nuggets for commodities; oftener, yrith a wisdom learned abroad,4did they demand coin. Ji;;a{njhéd comte home with his old name of Casma, and Bal Chico_had assumed a new name for his new habitation, and the singular fact became known at the town bank that Casma and Chira were thrifty Indian depositors and checked ag&“mmaﬂamﬁéhined that abroadl he had been called Juan Sanchez and Chira had been known as

drawn upon them by the Mexican bank of Im Hamidad. .~

~ Time passed, and Casma and Chira prospered and eventually disappeared from the Peruvian mountains and seaport. Their remaining deposits had Jbeen ‘transferred to La Hamidad, and in time the officials of La Hamidad were called upon in person by their unknown patrons, Juan Sanchez and Diego Blas, whose funds had never been drawn, upon for debt. Juan Sanchez and Diego! Blas were introduced by a resident of La Hamidad, a sailor on ‘the ship that had brought them from the Peruvian port, and their money was duly paid; and a fortune it was for two men of no more expenSive tastes than these who left the bank, walked away, and were seen no more in La Hamidad. :

In a reputable house in the town where Bal Chico had been a youth and been forgotten lived two old men together—two gray-haired, harmlesslooking old men of commonplace names that you have net heard yet, who tended their cacti and blooming vines and the green paroqyets ' that hung among them in a great cage, concocted savory stews, and lived their simplelives largely in sight of their neighbors in the umbrageous ~ garden behind their houses, and whose only recreation seemed to be to frequent the plaza: . From their garden they could see the rear of the house of the high'and mighty Don Pico, which rang with laughter of manly, sons and beautiful daughters, but the old men were, to all appearances, incurious of the doings at the great house. It wasknown at the plaza, where everything was known, that Don Pico’s eldest son would shortly celebrate his arrival at man’s estate and that the betrothal of his eldest daugh‘ter had been announced. But the day before the festivities in honor of the former occasion, the son, Don Manuelo, had sat in the plaza with Don Jose, his sister’s betrothed, who had left it, it was easily proved, with a merry party of grandees, Don Manuelo waving them a merry good-by. Passers-by saw him sitting there alone, sunken down as if resting, and there he was found somewhat later, dead, evidently by strangulation. There was the usual sénsation and more than the usual search for the murdei'm'. who had left no clew. .

‘Three months after this event,.the little, Innocencia, the four-year-old daughter of Don Pico, was found in a similar condition in the grounds of Don Perez, the father of the betrothed of Dona Theresa, Don Pico’s eldest daughter. The residence of Don Perez was but a block from that of Don Pico.' As in the xase of her brother, the police found positively no clew., ‘ )

These calamities caused the postpone= ment for one year of the nuptials of Done Jose and Dona Theresa; at the end of which time they were celebrated With all churchly and social ceremonies. Upon their feturn from the wedding journey, Don Jose and his beautiful lady took up their residence at the house of Don Perez. Scarce a fortnight bad elapsed when “Dona Theresa was found dead in her bed—likewise her husband’s Hed. Marks upon her tender neck showed that she had been garroted. _All drew two conclusions: Don Manuelo and little Innocencia had been garroted and Don Jose was the criminal. His protestations, denials and anguish availed nothing. He Wa_s hurried awsdy to prison: . " An' accident saved his life—the shutting of a window. 2 )

lf Dona Maria Theresa, the sorely afflicted wife of Don Pico, had become the victim of insomnia since these repeated family bereavements, and fancied strange noises in their apartment at night. Don Pico gave heed and lis- . T " {:.“ :,,'/' ‘ I il 2 J,. LT i B/ i M | N\ S | | | PR Xl AR NN oy ’/f"//“fﬂi,‘ Y [l R [{U“ ' '{.h;.,,:? .!!

But Dona Maria Theresa arose one night, because she heard the noise, and shut the window. As she approached the window, hung with vines, one of the house eats jumped from the sill to the thick vines and rustle(} away among them, and th= lady was reassured and slept—slept all the longer and more heavily because of sleepless nights. . - ; When she awoke in the morning, she lcoked at Don Pico—but was it Don Pico beside her, that purple, swollen face with awful eyes? The lady’s reason’ fled in that awful look, and her sereams aroused the household. Investigation .seemed at first to offer no clew, but at length, at the back of the top of a large frame containing an oil painting of his lady in her youth, was found a powerful snake whose bright eyes watched the window and all whose efforts were toward reaching it, which he 'r?eve‘r did, dying as non-resistant. as though in a trance. Don Jose was liberated. = % The old, harmless looking ' men tdiked and smoked next evening and for many evenings behind their little house, and sometimes boiled their sardines over a coal fire and looked across at the great ‘house of Don Pico and talked-—as who did not? . | Shie ~ Excitement was gradually repressed after the source of the mysterious deaths was indisputable. The snake ‘had coiled about them all, but Don Pico had strength to struggle and had been bitten'instead of only strangled. Some asked why a snake should discern onty members of the Pico family, but none could guess the reason. ‘ - And far away in the divine hdauty of a Peruvian coxdillera, two old men look aloft toward the man-shunning condor —two old, brown men, grown harmless and with no uncanny companions—herd with Indian women and brown Dbabies and drink from rude golden Jbowis, and go down to thé sea no more, M&%%Mmu& R i

3e. L 3 THE FARMING WORLD. LETTUCE IN POTS. - ; A Method of Forcing That Has Been - - Practicéd with Success. : ‘The method of forcing lettuce in pots may be of interest to those who grow lettuce under glass either in the amateur way or as a commercial product. - The preparation of soil for lettuce should not be too heavy. It should be composed of three parts by measure of loam, one of manure and one of sand. The seed is sown in boxes about 12 by 10 inches and three inches deep, or on the bench. Benches are six inches deep, the lower three inches being filled with well-rotted manure, and the upper three inches with potted soil prepared as described above. When the plants are about two inches high they are transplanted to two-inch pots. The henches are filled with soil, in which the pots containing the lettuce are plunged, so that the tops of the pots are covered with about half an inch of soil. A little drainage material is put in the bottom of each pot. The p{)ants are usually set on the benches about ten inches apart each way. The

Be: ing thus buried in the soil the little pots do not dry out asirapidly as they would do were they exposed to the air.; The moment a pot is removed from the bench another may be set in fits place without waiting to clear . the bench, or any portion of it, of the rest of thelettuce. The method thus proves economical, both of time and space. .

‘Grocers and other retail dealers readily appreciate the advantage of having lettuce grown in this way. It permits them to keep the lettuce on hand for a considerable length of time;and still present it to their customers crisp, fresh and attractive, instead of wilted and unattractive. : :

When the plant is ready for market it may be knocked cut of the pot and the ball of earth and roots undisturbed may be wrapped sungly in old paper. The earth will thus keep moist for a long time and furnish moisture to the plants through the rosts which arse imbedded in it. Local c‘ihst‘omers may be supplied with lettuce in the pots, and the pots returned after the plants are taken from them. !

While the subject of forcing is thus under consideration, a few hints on the care of a crop may not be amiss. (1.) The temperature should be kept down to from 50 t0%60 degrees during the day and from 45 to 50 degrees during the night. Plant lice become more troublesome in a high temperature, (2.) As much ventilation should be given as possible, but still kéep the temperature within the range mentioned. (3.) So far as possible water only on bright, sunny days, preferably early in the dav. e o

The varieties of cabbage lettuce are Big Boston, Salamander, Drumhead, Henderson’s New York (curled), Golden Ball (dwarf), Golden Queen (dwarf). The variety of loose heads are Grand Rapids (curled), Hanson (curled), New Iceberg (curled), Prize Head (curled). —Ella M. Hess, in N. Y. Tribune.

Harvesting Weedy Potatoes. That sins of neglect will follow a man until he is duly punished is never more conclusively proven than when the- neglected potato field .comes to. be harvested. Not ounly is the crop greatly lessened, butl the labor of harvesting has been increased. As a matter of fact, the farmeriwho can and does keep his potatoes free from weeds saves labor by the operation. Sodner or later the weeds have to be uprooted. . It costs less to do this while they are small. If done then the yield of marketable tubers is so much increased and the expense of harvesting is ‘decreased, so ‘that it really costs less to harvest a large erop kept free from weeds than to harvest a crop failure made so because overrun with weeds. ‘Don’t Blame the Weather. ' Don’t blame the wet season for the condition of many of your roads. See that your candidates for local offices favor good roads, and then supply them with the information that will enable them to know how to get and keep them. Most people are all at-sea on these subjects. The heavy rains fof ; the summer have given startling objectlessons to road-buwilders and superintendents in some sections of the country. Roads that weretnearly flat and which lacked proper drainage were swept over by the water. Insome spots the surface was torn away; in others it was covered with ‘stories and earth. This did not happen where roads were suitably crowned and drained—L. A. Mo hulebn,

OLD:FRUIT . TREES.. = - Autamn Is the Best Season in Which l : to Renovate Them. : ‘: In the fall is. one of the best times to begin renovating trees that have been neglected and are not tooold. In a majority of cases feeble growing and unliealthy trees are as a rule the result of starvation, bad soil or unfavorable conditions] In many cases remedjal treatment will convert into thrifty, vigorous trees. ~ ° ; : . One of the surest signs of debility in a tree is the pushing out of adventitious growths from the trunks and. main branches, and the dying off year by year of the small, twiggy, terminal shoots. : e : 5

-~ When -the land has ‘been seeded to grass for a considerable time and ‘especially when no manure has been applied, trees will begin to show signs of unthriftiness. : &

Plowing the ground in good season in the fall, giving the trees a good pruning, and then before severe cold weather sets in applying a good dressing of manure; scattering broadcast as far out under the trees as the branches extend.

‘When the tree is healthy the top is luxuriant, but if the tree gets weak or old the top makes but little growth if it does not die. : :

In pruning all of the dead or decaying limbs should be cut out, and sufficient growth to leave an open head. In many cases proper pruning and manuring will be all that is necessary to revive a reasonably young tree. When a tree is dying of old age very little can be done to sustain the lowering vitality. R - ~ In some cases trees are unthrifty for want of proper drainage. Ilf water stands around the roots the tree will not make a healthy growth-and providing proper drainage is, of course, the proper remedy.

A little needed work in the orchard done ‘in good season in the fall will often make an orchard that has been in a great sense a failure, a source of profit.—N. J. Shepherd, in Farmer’s Voice.-

MUSHROOM CULTURE.

How to Grow the Toothsome Fungi in S Baskets or Boxes.

Mushroom ' growing in summer requires as indispensable. conditions a cool, moist atmosphere and,a dark place from which flies may be excluded. The breeding of maggots in the mushrooms, as soon as summer weather begins, renders the culture unprofitable under ordinary conditions. A cool, dark underground cellar, however, may be used for mushrooms, and the basketful depict=ed in the cut, reproduced from the London Gardening Illustrated, was grown under these conditions. The Dbasket was filled with prepared manure, firmly packed, mounded up in the center, covered with loamy;*and then spawned like an ordinary bed. Atzateurs growing mushrooms in small Quantittes

About four years ago, scientific attention was given, forr the first time, to a very distinct variety of mushroom raised for markét by a Long Island grower, who found it-especially suitable to summer culture: This mushroom, Agaricus subrufescens Peck;was rather coarser in appearance than fhe variety ordinarily grown (Agaricus campestris) and different in color, the gills being of a rusty-reddish’ tint. The new mushroom proved to be of an excellent quality, a heavy yielder and very easily grown,. flourishing in open frames outside. The only drawback to its culture was the fact that many purchasers objected to its unfamiliar appearance, fearing that it might be an unwholesome variety.—Rural Néw Yorker. ~

GOV, MOUNT TALKS, - Says Farmers Are Entitled to Good Roads and Daily Mails. In a speech delivered recently at Rome City, Ind., Gov. Mount said: “The farmers have a right to demand that the government at least cooperate with them in securing better mail facilities for the country. The. farmer of the twentieth century must be a man of the broadest mind, of the highest development. The farmer’s home must be supplied with books, papers and magazines.. He must keep in touch with the intellectual, social and business World, To secure the advantages of daily mail, good roads will be a necessity. With good thoroughfares to secure speedy transit, then, by the cooperation of the “farmers and the government, arrangements can be made for the deposit by the postman of the farmer’s mail in a | box opposite his home. Good roadsand daily mails to the farmer of the coming ' yearss will be indispensable to the highest success, socially, financially and intellectually.” - . ‘ Gravity Crenming in Kansas, Gravity creaming in the private dairy loses more fat than most farmers dream of.
