It was Ibe youngest daughter, who. with untiring energy, studied und ex perimented with fertllliera until she found one what waa requisite for that particular soil. She had learned that It wa* not because of any fault In the government, or owing to the existing money standard, that the planters of the South were unfortunate; hut, ruth er. because they had not mastered some of the Intricacies of the laws governing supply and demand. Be cauac there was a supply largely ex ceeding the demand for cottoa, argued the young Portia, the crops must nec essarily bring small prices, and so she proposed meeting some public demand, reaping a rich harvest from "acres of diamonds." The power and truth of the argument arc portrayed in the succersful farm of Unlay. Bottling with much the time-hal lowed attd established prejudices of the community which prophesied cer tain failure, ns she fought against the natural disadvantages of the land, the girl farmer struggled onward and up ward through years of hard work, dir appotnuneut and bright brave endeav ors until today she atauds «•* mistress of one of the most flourishing farms hi this part of the country.

A poor woman who kept a small shop in a Northern village and who was troubled with a husband who eould scarcely be considered ft credit to the family, one day found herself a widow through the sudden demise of her spouse, says the Chicago Herald. A lady, who frequently made small purchases at the shop, called to see her und to offer her sympathy, though well knowing that the man’s death must In a certain sense come as a re lief, as the widow had often suffered from his violence. She was not, how ever. quite prepared for ilie stoical way lu which the wife took her bereave mem. Said the lady “1 am sure. Mrs. <>., you must miss your husband?" "Well. mum. it does seem queer to go into the shop and find something In the till.” „ , „ »• . . • k.a-'O' I - I BWMiito Mf%i to I hiinivt fftor !»#*•* OoMWMf Ilf MBtotoa# Oa I *|oMNh (to lrr % i ohr to a atohao* *raa lint l wnapoto <a toMHBh tototfott fa** I *v« t'thtood VMaoah iaMMlar ratio a* aa I. *.rrt aa to ard hoa taafOoto fat tfam. | tfr toadtoa* oa >to* ttoflaa thgtoha how I to o **a anoto* aoo ha to*to* §to* .•OdtoaOM hr iiinoan ft* »rr* * | gWi-T*rMl too# aOtooi Waar a iinno li 4h [i t* t 'haMwr »ad tiro* aa mm of itor I tam* tj fO III of OMhMMMt tto**««4wa> hotot-tko la fto* «*•* *» j* I*ooo*o to TOO MMMao hoa *o*w»oa •horr Ntothtid o*4 to aaaratord ooiy i thr chtodh oooolly rtilay thr ■ * . *iyX | Whro hta Otrat arr him hr* tbaiy ft* I tooi. and an thr ratlto of thr ««** rowao drorral If la aaldoaa that ao ordrr la ftttr* to ao ladtaa to hotlte Hr foltmaa hto rhtof.

J again, as In the stale of Kentucky, i wlwi* mines are numerous and ih# competition to heary. the enut of the theft falls on the mine operator. A largo mine owner, who had to hear losses of Ibia kind. Anally bethought himself of a prartlral plan of stopping them. He built a rar consisting of an ordinary gondola ear, covered by a aection.il root, divided into four fold ing door* upon each aide of the car, ■aye the Pittsburg Diaputch. The doors are ao equipped that they ran be turned hack, one at a time, or convenient for loading. When tne car is loaded, the doors are lorked and sealed by one operation. The car la then weighed and Is sure of tiring de livered and paid for at mine weight. Protection is also thus given the coal from rain. Ice and snow, and the tra'.u crews are not under the necessity of climbing over an open loaded ear of coal In doiug their work. The unloa I tng I* perfectly simple. The doors are thrown hack, each In turn, as the un loading progresses. Should the car not he fully unloaded at night, tln door* ran be closed and locked by pad lock. and It can be left upon the t?ur:lc until daylight without fear of thieves. AFTER REGULAR SOLDIERS. Government to Recruit From the Ranks of Volunteers. In order to keep the regular army up to the maximum of 61.000 men. the War Department will hnvo recruiting officers at all stations at which the volunteers are mustered out with a view of giving the men an opportun ity to eniist in the regular service. The time which they have served in «he volunteer service will he allowed them as a part of the continuous service in the regular branch. It is estimated that the regular array Is some 4.000 or 5,000 below the maximum allowed by the bill which provided for the !n --crease of the regular army when the war began. A Hold Up.

It I* worth something to be one of Teddy's Terrors. He Brought His Company With Him. A San Francisco hostfs*. famous for her tact and resourcefulness, tells a good story on herself. It seems that an officer in one of the Tennessee companies, a very shy young man. brought letters with him when his reg iment came to the coast and presented himself one evening at the Van Ness avenue residence. As he was the son of a well Jtnown public man and a member of an old family his hostess exerted herself to entertain him. "We should be glad to have the pleasure of your company Friday at dinner,” she said as he was leaving: “the Hawaiian commissioners are to be with us." Fri day came and the commission. Shortly before the hour for dinner the butler excitedly entered the room. "They's a regiment o' soldiers, mum. outside.” "No doubt in honor of the commis sioners; I will tell them.” Just then the lieutenant was announced. "When you are ready,” he said. "I will have the men march to their places In for mation." "Why,” said the lady, “what men?” "It's my regiment.” waß the re ply. “all but ten and they’re very sor ry, but they couldn't come.” Hadn't Met Hobson.

One of the lies! of the sowers is the Cahoon seed sower, which Is carried in front of tho body supported with a strap around the neck, sewing seed from eight to twen ty feet on each side.

Asparagus grow ing in this section is very limited and should be encouraged more; it has been successfully raised here, and is a proflt ble crop.
