OF THOSE WHO

Women there are on earth, most swept anil high, Who lose their own, and walk bereft and lonely. Loving that one lost heart until they die, Loving it only. And bo the)' never see beside them grow Children, -whose coming is like breath of flowers; Consoled by subtler loves the angels know Through childless hours. Good" deeds they do; they comfort and they bless In duties others put off till the morrow; Their look Is balm, their touch Is tenderness To all In sorrow. Betimes the world smiles at them, as It were shams. This maiden guise, long after youth's departed; But In God's book they bear another name "The faithful-hearted." Faithful In life, and faithful unto death. Such souls, in sooth, illume with luster splendid That glimpsed, glad land wherein the vision saith, Earth's wrongs are ended. Richard Burton, in the Century.

"Hullo!" said the girl, pausing abruptly on the edge of the lawn. "Where's Margaret?" "Margaret," answered the young man. rising, "has gone out with her mother." "Oh!" said the girl, "but she said yesterday she'd be at home." "And you believed her?" His tone was politely curious. "Of course; why shouldn't I have?" "Oh, well, no reason only (I'm sure I've read It somewhere) don't you girls have instinct or something?" "You're thinking of dogs," she explained. "Isn't anybody at home?" "Couldn't you add 'except yourself?" he suggested gently. "Except yourself," she said obediently. "Thank you. There's no sense in wantonly wounding a person's feelings, is there? No; everybody's out. I may a3 well warn you that your cries will be useless." "Thanks for telling me. Will tears be of any avail?" ' "Absolutely no good," he declared. "Is it permissible to ask what you j are gcjjng to do with me?" "It's not allowed by the rules," was the answer, "but I don't mind telling you. I'm going to take you out in a canoe." "Horror!" cried the girl, clasping her hand3 together. "And talk to you," he continued firmly. "But that's torture," she protested. "Are you sure that's allowed?" "Positive- In fact, it's compulsory." "By the way," he Inquired, as he helped her to embark, "do you know why I'm taking you out in the canoe?" "Haven't the most exciting Idea. Why are you?" "Well. I'll tell you before I get in. In case you upset the boat. I'm going to propose to you." "Have you been lunching much today?" The young man repelled the insinuation with a wave of his hand. "You needn't get excited yet awhile," he mentioned, as he took hl3 seat In the boat; "I shan't do it suddenly. I shall work up to it gradually." "You know the rudiments." she commented approvingly. "Who put you up to the canoe, though T' "I've forgotten her name now. She was ona of the first girls I ever proposed to. Since then I always do my proposing in canoes." "I've received most of my proposals In canoes, too." said the girl. "It seems like fate, doesn't It? But how do you manage in the winter?" "I never propose in the winter," said the young man, with a touch of severity. "I should have thought you would have seen it Is Impossible. One hasn't time to make a nicely graded, artistic declaration of love between dances." "I see. You're not a believer In the volcanic-eruption style, then?" "Tco dangerous. It's liable to throw a g';! off her balance, and one never knews What she may do then." "She may even accept you," suggested the girl. The young man nodded gloomily. "I've had that happen In a canoe though," he declared. "Still the case was a very young one. I believe. In fact, that It was her first proposal. I suppose In such a case one always does jump?" He looked at his companion inquiringly. "It's more a question of temperament than of age," was the reply. "Except, perhaps, when one's over thirty, and then it Is a question of age." The young man paddled for a while In silence." "By the way," he said, "you don't mind my giving you a few helpers, do you?" "I shall welcome them," the girl assured him. "Well, aren't you forgetting your opportunities?" "I? Good gracious, what ought I do? I thought I had only to sit still, keep my head and be prepared to look surprised." The young man looked at her reprovingly. "This is not the occasion for artlessness," he said. "You know quite well you ought to have been dabbling your fingers In the water ten minutes ago." The girl stared at him in flight bewilderment, and then suddenly her face cleared. "And turn my sleeves up, do you mean?" "Certainly. I thought you knew the rules." "Sorry," said the girl. With a little laugh she began to turn back her wristband. "Unless, of course, you want to encourage me," he continued, "and then you get me to tuck 'em up for yo:." The girl bit her lip to restrain her mirth. "Ought I to encourage you, do you think?' she Inquired doubtfully. With her head on one side the

watched him deliberate for a while on this question. Then she had a tender heart she took pity on him. "Oh, well, you may." She extended her arm toward him. A slightly shocked look came Into the young man's face. "This is shamelessness!' he cried. "But you said" She looked at him in astonishment. "Only necessity should persuade you to allow me to do such a thing," he explained. "Oh, necessity." "You must wet your fingers first, and decide to have jour sleeves up afterward. I don't believe you've ever been In a canoe before!" He appeared somewhat indignant. "You can't expect me to be such an expert as you," she said apologetically, a3 sho trailed her fingers in the stream. "Expert! But this Is merely the elementary stage. I'm disappointed in you; you're spoiling my afternoon." "That's very rude of you," she said, with a pout, "and I don't believe it's true either. I think you're enjoying yourself very much. Are my fingers wet enough yet?" For answer the young man shipped his paddle, and bent forward toward the girl. 'Thank you," she said a minute later, gating with some approval at her white arms.. "Ought you to have looked at me like that, though?" "What was wrong with It?" "Nothing. It was a very nice look. I only wanted to know. It must have taken a lot of practice to acquire." The young man nodded In some pride. "It's the first time I've really got It, though," he said. The girl threw him a startled look, but he was searching for his cigarette case and failed to see It. ' "Reolly! This promises to be quite an eventful afternoon, then." She watched him extract a cigarette from his case. "Mayn't I have a cigarette, too?" she inquired plaintively. "What are you lookln? so depressed about?" she asked, as he threw the stump of a match In th-j water. "Don't you like me to smoke?" "Under the circumstances, no." ."Under the !" she began in alarm. "Oh, do tell me; nm I missing my cue or something? Why don't you approve?" "Because," he answered with much simplicity, "it's my last cigarette." "Oh, I'm sorry," she cried, self-accus-Ingly. "I am a pig. Why didn't you tell me before?" "My artistic Instinct," he explained mournfully. "This give3 nie an excellent opportunity of informing you that everything I have 13 at your disposal. Heart, hand, cigarette " She interrupted his summary hur riedly. "You can have the cigarette back again." she said, proffering It. "You've been smoking It." he pointed out. "When one Is about to express a simile especially so ( far-drawn a one as to liken a heart to a cigarette it is a3 well to hasten to the end before one is misunderstood. He paused. "I beg your pardon," she said haughtily. "I forgot that." "I I you don't understand." In his eagerness to seize the cigarette he rose to his feet. Unhappy though It was, the canoe upset! "Can you swim?" cried the girl in alarm, as she rose to the surface. The young man stifled a groan of anguish. "No." he said; "I shall have to wade." When they reached the bank the girl looked at his dripping figure, her eyes sparkling. "I said It would be an interesting afternoon," she reminded him triumphantly. "I wish you wouldn't stare at me like that," she protested, flushing slightly; "I know I'm very wet." "Your hair does curl naturally, after all," he said, with a pleased smile; "I always said it did." "They make them to stand water nowadays," explained the girl. "I should have thought you'd known that. Aren't you going in again to get the boat?" "No, I'm going to walk home. How do you fix them on? with a hairpin?" "What! Oh, those curls. Yes." "Won't you give me one? As a souvenir, you know." "We shall get our deaths of cold If we stand here," said the girl. "But my curl." "I've some new ones coming. I'll give you one of those," she promised. "Come along." She avoided his eye and tapped the ground nervously with her foot. "They don't come off, really," she whispered. "Let go my hand."

The yo'.ing man seized her other

hand before he replied. "You silly, it's not a curl I want." "I didn't propose to you in the boat, after all," said the young man. a3 they went down to look at the canoe. "No." said the girl. She looked at him for a moment, and then began to laugh softly. The young man looked at her doubtfully. "That was really very funny of me," he said approvingly; "but er do you mind telling me the joke in your own words?" The girl, with an effort, looked at him In wide-eyed gravity. "It's not a joke," she said; "it's very serious for me." "Shall we sit in the shade," suggested the young man in tired accents, "until you think I'm strong enough to bear it?" "Why." said the girl, "you haven't asked me to marry you at all yet." The young man passed hla hand wearily across hi3 forehead. "It's tha heat," he murmured; "thanks for reminding me. Will you?" "Yes." said the girl. Grit. DEATHS FB.0M ANESTHETICS. Thpy Are Small In Proportion to C'nnea, bat Caution la CFiarr. The melancholy death under an anesthetic of the Hon. T. A. Powys, the young heir and only son of Lord LI1ford, In the course of an operation not generally associated with any idea of danger. Is an event which will direct public attention to the dangers attendant upon the use of anesthetics In general and upon the precautions necessary In order to reduce these dangers to a minimum. From the report of the inquest upon Mr. Powys, the London Times says, it appears that he was suffering from the enlargements at the back of the throat which are commonly known as the adenoid enlargements, which are not attended by any immediate danger to life. A professional anesthetist was employed to conduct the administration and he began his proceedings by a complete examination of the patient, in which condition he discovered nothing to call for cnore than ordinary caution. The anesthetic used was a mixt ire of chloroform with ether, and it was not until the operation was nearly completed that a sudden failure of respiration gave warning of imminent danger. A post-mortem examination disclosed the existence of a condition to which attention has recently been called by other cases of like kind, a condition called status lymphatlcus, which appears not to bo discoverable during life and which involves special danger in the use of anesthetics. ' The occasional occurrence of fatal consequences from the administration of chloroform or of ether, however much to be deplored in the Individual instances, should not be permitted to divirt attention from the enormous nurrber of cases in which these agents are administered without 111 effects of any kind or from the enormous number In which they save life by permitting the performance of operations which it would be Impossible to accomplish without their aid. It may be safely said that. In round numbers, there are 3,000 successful administrations of anesthetics for every death attributable to them, and it is only the Immense number of operations which they have rendered possible and successful that explains the comparatively very small number cf fatal accidents which have occurred In a given hospital or in a given time. Notwithstanding the vast preponderance of safety, It Is impossible to deny the existence of a certain, or rather of an uncertain, amount of real danger, and hence there Is a very general feeling that the powerful drugs concerned have been employed In the past with Eomewhat greater freedom than is entirely Justifiable. A TALE THAT IS TOLD. Civilisation of Ited Mm Completed with Recent Land fie-nlnge. The opening of three Indian reservations in the West and the parceling of their share of the public lands to the Indians marks almost the last milestone In the conquest of the savages, Colller'8 says. The Indian becomes a homesteader. He takes his place side by side with the white farmer and rancher. He has long since ceased to roam in the old nomadic way. He confines himself to periodical visits to the towns and cities cf the whites, where he looks with curious eyes upon the puzzling novelties of civilization. He discards the blanket for trousers and galluses. His daughter, gowned in innocent white, marches under evening shadows, to the far-echoing toll of the vesper bell, a mingling figure in the silent vesper processional. His son is a cornetlst in the reservation brass band. Thus the former warrior lives and dies, the last vestige of a dissolving race. Here and there throughout the West still remain remnants of tribal life, pitiful figures that lag superfluous upon a stage once swelling with the pomp and paint of feathers and nightmared with the holocaust of blood. It is not a far call from Fenlmorc Cooper's Chingachgook to Chariot, the chief of the ' FJatheads. One was the warrior of a dying race on Atlantic shores, the other Is the aged patriarch of the last of the red men's power on the Pacific. Chariot has all the savage romanticism with which Cooper's pen endowed the character of his hero. He has always insisted that his name was forged to the treaty negotiated by James A. Garfield, then chairman of an Indian commission, whereby the Flatheads were dispossessed of their camping grounds in the Bitter Root valley. Political injustice it was that fomented the war, culminating in the battle of the Big Hole, historically known as tho march of Chief Joseph. The policy of the government which turned these wards over to the care of political carpet-baggers reacted upon Innocent heads and left a ghastly trail. Tbe Mathemntlral Probien. LitJe Marion was busy at her "borne work." After a great many perplexed frowns and much nibbling at her pencil she looked up and said: "The only answer I can get to this example is 'five and three-fourths horses.' Do you s'pose that i3 right, mamma?" "Well, I don't know," answered her mother, cautiously. "It sounds rather queer." A long pause; then the small arithmetician's face lit up with a smile. "Oh. I know!" she cried; "I'll reduce the three-fourths horses to colts!" Woman's Home Companion. A "good fellow" is usually a ma with a lot of bad habits.

To Fatten ChlcltN. An excellent mixture for fattening broilers is made as follows: One hundred pounds of finely ground barley, 100 pounds of finely ground corn, 100 pounds of finely ground oats, with h ills sifted out, and 30 pounds of beef scraps. Buttermilk or skim milk Is used for mixing. The birds are fed three times a day at Intervals of four hours, and are kept on this diet for three weeks. Another ration is made of 100 pounds of grour.d oats, 100 pounds of ground corn, 50 pounds of wheat flour and 4 pounds of tallow, to bo mixed with milk. neat AVheat for Ilread. It Is a well recognized fact that the flour, from the hard spring wheats of the Northwestern districts will produce a large, well-piled loaf of bread of excellent qualitj', and because it absorbs a lot of water It also gives a good yield of bread. These are desirable qualities and naturally explain why this class of flour Is so popular for bread making, says the Bakers Weekly. The softer winter wheats do not contain so much gluten and do not make so large or to- many people so desirable a Io if as the spring r.-heat flours. Yet a good, palatable loaf of bread can be made, and is being made every day, from this class of flour. Ilreedere' Proapeol Arc Ilrijstat. It has been years since the prospect for brisk sales of pure-bred stock of all kinds were as bright as now. There have been times In the past when cattle sales were good and hogs were elow, or vice versa, but this fall both are wanted by prosperous farmers who have the money to pay for what they buy. Pure-bred horses, especially mares, are also in great demand, at good prices. If there ever was a time when It will pay to let the public know what you have to sell, that time will certainly be this fall. The average Southwestern farmer now fully understands the value of pedigree, followed up with Individual merit, and he pay good prices to get a start in good stock. Mall and Breeze. rnromntlr M11U Can. A recent Invention is a dairy milk can which may be filled at the dairy, hermetically sealed and kept in this condition until the contents of the can are removed at the place of sale. This result U effected by the use of compressed air In the can. which forces out the contents as needed. The compressed air Is sterilized, and everything about the milk is kept perfectly clean. There is no darfger from contamination by exposure to dust and dirt, or flies or other insects. It is Impossible to change or adulterate the contents of the can in any way from the time it leaves the dairy until the contents have been placed in the consumers' hands. This can Is locked, and no liquid can be pumped into it without breaking the lock and removing cover. Scientific American. Savins Seed. Look after the saving of seed from the best specimens of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and other vegetables, and when they are perfectly dry place in glas3 jars so they will be free from the depredations of mice. Label the jars with the name of the variety and the year grown, and if there Is any Item you wish to remember connected with a certain kind or variety make a note of it and place with the seed3 while the fact is fresh in your mind. Seed should also be saved of peas, beans and sweet corn, as these are so bulky and cost so much to buy. Where there is danger of weevil, It would be well to place a little bisulphide of carbon In the vessel containing the peas and beans, cover tightly and leave a few hours before removing the seeds to the receptacle they are to be kept In over winter. This will destroy the weevil, but will not hurt the germinating qualities of the peas. Agricultural Epltomist. Chemical Action of Hnmua. By the action of humus, minerals In the soil are changed to plant food. Likewise It retains nitrogen In he soli the most valuable ingredient and the most costly fertilizer to buy. Humus 13 the home of beneficial bacteria, and it retains moisture. The land should be deeply plowed. to as to allow the humus to get deeply Into the soli, for it is then that it gives the greatest benefit to the long roots. In soils here In the East It is eeldom that humus is found more than eight inches below the surface, while In California It is quite frequently discovered eight feet below the surface, making the latter soil vastly richer than that of the East. Deep plowing will encourage tree roots to grow more deeply, which Is a point of economy, as the deeper the root of the tree, the less fertilizer will he required upon the surface, and the more food will be brought up from the depths. Another good reason for plowing an orchard deeply is to break any shell or hard pan that very often forms a short distance below the surface.and which has a tendency to prevent water from soaking down. The rrofllnhle fow. Is It the largest ylelder of milk or the cow that returns the largest yield in proportion to cost of feed consumed? The Ontario Agricultural College has had the following experience to relate: A C-year-old Holstein cow topped the herd In point of yield. She gave 12,963 pounds of milk, with 429.0G pounds of fat valued at $107.26. She cost to feed $."!. 4S and returned a profit of $52.78. The eecond cow i;i point of yield, a 4 year-old Holstein, gave In 337 days 11,438 pounds of milk, with 391.92 pounds of fat. valued at $98.72. She cost to feed only $45.41, thus showing a profit of $f.3.31. The same thing Is shown In the records of the Ayrshlres In thl3 herd. A 3-year-old was highest In point of yield. In 304 days she gave 9,109 pounds of milk and 333.40 pounds of fat, valued at $S3.34. Her feed cost $44.21, thus showing a profit of $39.13. A 7-year-old cow was third in point of yield, giving 8,326 pounds of milk and 317.63 pounds of fat in 277 days, val

ued at $79 41. She cost to feed $38.23. showing a profit of $41. IS, or over $2 more than the other Ayrshire. It is well to keep these principles in mind, for, as the slang phrase has it, "they get in their work" whether we see them or believe In them or not. The whole business of dairy farming needs, more than anything else, a deep study of the principles of how to put those principles into practice. Hoard's Dairyman.

Value of Tillage. The limit of production of an acre of land is measured as much by the capacity of the man who tills It as by the capacity of the soil Itself to produce a large crop. There are few farmers who till one-half acre of soil in a manner that will produce the best and most profitable returns. As a rule the average farmer has a vague idea of the value of tillage and proper fertilization. Through the feeding of the plants a soli may be rich or poor, just as the farmer plans his rotation and cropping system. Many farmers have been handicapped because they have been taught that clover and other members of the legume family were the only means of Increasing the nitrogen content of their soils. Of course they are the best, and in many Instances the most satisfactory means of adding available nitrogen to the soil, but there are millions of root bacteria awaiting to feed upon root, stem or organic matter that may be turned under and make available nitrogen for another plant. Agricultural Epltomist. Whole Mlllc and Cream. Here is the comparative cost of hauling whole milk, as against conveying cream alone, as figured out by a dairyman from his own actual experience with both methods. Cost of hauling whole milk: Twenty weeks, five deliveries a week, five hours a day, with heavy wagon3, time of man and team valued at 20 cents an hour, $100; thirty-two weeks, three deliveries a week, five hours a day, with heavy wagon, time' of man and team valued at 20 cents an hour, $96. making the total cost of delivering whole milk $196 for the year. Cost of hauling cream only: Twenty weeks, three deliveries a week, two and one-half hours a day, with light wagon, time of man and team valued at 20 cents an hour, $30; thirty-two weeks, two deliveries a week, two and one-balf hours a day, with light wagon, time of man and team valued at 20 cents an hour, $32, making the total cost of delivering cream only $62. This means a yearly saving through hauling cream only of $134. This difference Is great enough to pay for a separator and have, in addition. $44 clear gain the first year. It is high time to think of these things in these days of costly labor and Increased expenses. Denver Field and Farm. A evr Sheep Diaeaae. The officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry havo a new field of activity through the announcement of a new disease discovered among the sheep of Wyoming known as the Hp and leg disease. The complaint is known among scientists necrobacillosls, but with the advent of the ailment in Wyoming it was nicknamed Hp and leg disease, because of the parts of the animal affected. It has no relation with the, hoof and mouth disease which raged In a number of the Eastern States during the past year. Officials of the Department of Agriculture say they are at a loss to know how the disease became so widespread In Wyoming, as so far as known it was not brought here from any other country. It is probable, they explain, that a single animal came into contact with other cattle In transportation, and that the others became infected In the car3 where slight scratches of the skin are almost unavoidable. By Secretary Wilson's orders eight counties of Wyoming have been placed undr stringent quarantine, which effectively shuts off trade in cattle from the infected counties. The counties under the ban He In the section where most of the Wyoming sheep are raised. Shredded Stover. For winter feeding of stock animals this makes one of the finest feeds on the farm. The modern husking and shredding machinery does excellent work, and Its man-eating proclivities have been largely eliminated. An ordinary threshing machine can be made to do good shredding, but the grain Is not left In the best condition The greatest drawback in the use of both husker and thresher Is that they require a large force of men and teams, hence tha work Is quite expensive. Perhaps the cheapest corn husking is done with a little old husking peg. But it is almost impossible to feed long stover without considerable waste, and the refuse stalks are a nuisance when it comes to handling the manure. These difficulties may be overcome by running the hand-husked stover through a common cutter and shredder. This work can usually be done without employing much, if any, outside help. In case everything is hired, the cost of the work, added to that of hand-husking and putting of the corn and stover In crib and mow or stack, may equal or even exceed the expense of machine husking and shredfling. This Is a point for each to d clde from his own standpoint. Agricultural Epltomist. Oda and Ende. Over one million exiles have been transported to Siberia since 1840. The available Iron supply ot the United States is estimated at 4,783,000,000 long tons. The French government Is about to spend $200,000 In the establishment of a national weaving and embroidery school In the Interest of the silk Ind.istry. A cutter which will divide a pomrJ of butter into 24 pieces of equal siz3 at a single operation Is a new invention to lighten the labor of the housewife.
