Happily unconscious oi the dark h.ulows
feat lined his rugged pathway of life iust
gs it seemed to become more b< ] < fat and
brighter, he hastened homeward, fondly
thinking over hisplatisfor I **r sa s wtdfare.
They would take his s.twugs, and, steal
ing away from the padrone’s den, fly to

Here they would have enough money left
to rent some rooms and live until he se
cured work.
He doubted not his courage and ability
to care for the beloved sister for whose
happiness it would be a joy and a pleasure
to labor night and day
His hopeful thoughts wore somewhat
disturbed as he entered the narrow court
where the padrone's house was located.

“Your sister!”

CHAPTER \TL
A YOUNG HERO.
A dusky j ailor came over poor Giulio’s
face as he heard the cold words that fell
from Giuseppe Santo’s lips that proclaimed
the death of the only being in the wide
world he could call by an endearing name.
The empty basket fell from his nervelesss
grasp, he staggered and almost fell against
the doorpost, and stood there like one sud
denly turned to stone, staring blankly at
the men before him.
“Dead! oh, unsay those cruel words. My
sister, my darling Teresa, dead, and I saw
her but yesterday. It cannot be—it can
not be!”
But there was no refutal ot Santo’s
statement in the stony, indifferent faces of
the padrone’s companions.
With a moan of stricken grief Giulio
sank to the doorstep and buried his face in
his hands.
Unheeding and uncaring for his sur
roundings overw helmed only by the awful,
•olemn fact that death, sudden and terrible,
had robbed him of the one lioart that had
beat in unison of love and sympathy with
his own, he went through all the gradations
of bitter grief, seif-reproach, and utter
despair.
What ray of hope could he see in that
dark hour when the darling sister he had
planned to work for and make happy in (ho
near future was lying cold in death? What
gleam of joy could he discern in Ihe bleak
future, now that he stood in a cold, un
feeling world atom"
From the blow that had prostrated him
momentarily Giulio rallied at laßt. liis
face was a void, his eyes deluged with
tears, his heart seemed breaking as he
Struggled to Ins feet and asked, brokenly:
“Where is she?”
“Up there,” and Santo pointed carelessly
to the staircase.
A watching sympathizer had noted his
coming—one kind heart at least tried to
rob the terrible confrontation of death with
kind words and pitying comfort.
Miss Lucia met him at the bead of the
stairs. At the sight of her frie idly fea
tures the poor boy staggered forward and
buried his face in her motherly arms,
“Oh, it can't be true!” he sobbed fran
tically. “Tell me it is all a cruel lie! She
cannot be dead, for I could not live with
out her. To miss her gentle face, her
cheering voice and pitying eyes, to have no
one to love, or care for, or work for oh.
Miss Lucia,.my heait is broken! my heart
is broken!”
She BOotbed him in her soft, womanly
way as he sobbed away his grief in her
motherly arms. Between his distracted
meanings and the sileuoe of despair she
told him how it hod come about bow the
feeble spark of life had gone out with his
beloved name on Teresa's dying lips,
Santo had sent her to gather coal on the
lailroad tracks. It had been her task on
mam previous occasions, but the cold had
confused her, and, in stepping through the
deep snow to evade an oncoming train, an
engine on the next rails had come upon her
unperceived.
The engineer had checked the locomo
tive the moment he saw her, but it was a
moment too late. The next he had leaped
from the cab and gathered her poor
crushed form in his arms, breathing self
reproaches and tender pity over th child
he had accidentally run over.
‘“She did not suffer much,” murmured
Miss Lucia, in a broken tone of vo.oe.
“Her limbs were so crushed and broken
that a numbness of feeling seemed to
•teal over her. They brought her home,
and sent for a surgeon. He said he could
do nothing for her. When I came here she
was dying. Oh, Giulio, she was happy in
death, lor her lips moved in prayer, a
seraphic smile came over her wan face, and
she gasped out softly, ‘Tell Giulio I am
waiting for him in heaven,' and died.”
It was some time before the tender
hearted dressmaker could control her emo
tions or subdue those of Giulio sufficiently
to allow him to enter the room where was
laid all that was mortal of little Teresa.
“Courage, my poor boy!” she whispered,
compassionately. “ Little Teresa is better
off with l he angels than in our feeble care.”
“But I loved her so she was all I had ir *
lif. to Jove,” wailed the broken-hearted
Giulio.
Miss Lucia clasped his hand soothingly
•s she loii him to wh re the shrouded form
•f the little martyr lav.
All sign , of the dreadful accident were
removed. Only the white folded arms
crossed over her breast, and tin* fair, gen
tle face, wearing a peaceful, happy expres
sion, were revealed.
Beside her lorn ly bier poor Giulio bent
his head and wept with all the earnest
grief of a heart that knew its terrible be
reavement.
It was only when Sanlo, slightly subdued
in his rough manner, but still s'ull.-n and

“leiesa ’’ he gasped out, bewildered,

“ They have taken her away. That is the
end of it, the inquest having been held,"
Was Santo’s cool reply as he shuffled apack
of greasy cards.
Giulio turned deathly pale, and stood for

rone's woids.
“Taken her away?” he repeated, in a tone
of dread h rror and uncertainty. “You

“Oh, you wretch! brutta! allanno!” broke
from Giulio. intones of the wildest indigna
tion and anger, unconsciously emphasizing
his words by the selection of terms of re
proach employed by Santo himself. "You
murdered her yours the blame, yours the
retribution and you refuse to grant her

The padrone sprang to his feet, boiling
With rage.
“Toyour work. Maledetti! you dare to
talk to me thus, you and the girl to whom
I have given a home since you were chil
dren. To w ork, I say, or I will scourge you!"
“You will never boat me again," replied
Giulio, a dangerous gleam in his eye. “I
leave you, Giuseppe Santo, never to return.
God will punish your awful crime. I leave
to Him your inhuman cruelty.”
*Ja*nvo me, and the police shall drag you
to prison!” shrieked Santo after his re
treating form. “Have a care for yourself.
If \on are not back by nightfall, the law
shall id iim you as a vagrant and runaway.”
Giulio was too shocked and sick at
heart to heed the import of the padrone’s
me ace as he descended the stairs.
Through a blinding storm of tears he im
agined his loved Teresa roughly consigned
to some dreary and uusanotifled burial.
“She shall not be taken to a pauper’s

lie burst in upon h *r unceremoniously,
and startled her with the words:
“You know what they have done?”
She bowed her head sadly.
“They have taken Teresa away to be bur
ied by the city, a pauper, unclaimed, un
mourned. It shall not be!”
“Can you make it otherwise?”
“I will, I must.”
“Then Santo will furnish the money to
bury her ”
“lie!” cried Giulio scornfully, indig
nantly. “No! the money my savings.
Quick! Where are they?”
Miss Linda started, but reached for thi
Imnk on the shelf and handed it to her
young fnend.
For nearly a year he had not touched thi
hank, except to place within it his savings.
His eyes tilled with as he opened it
and transferred its bulky contents to hn
pockets.
Every coin seemed to tell a simple story
of labor and self-denial. Oh! it was hard
to regard the past and its hopeful antici
pations of employing this money to give
pleasure and happiness to Teresa, and
now
All his plans were suddenly diverted, his
cherished iiopes crushed to earth, and only
the lost consolation left, of consigning all
that was mortal of Teresa Wynne to its
long homo as tenderly as a loving heart
could suggest.
He did not say anything further to Mi
Lucia about his intentions, but at once left
the house, his cherished savings in his
pocket.
Daylight was fading as he proceeded
down the Btreet. Ha was well acquainted
with all the policemen on the beat, with
whom ho w as a general favorite, and one of
these he addressed and asked some ques
tions about the rules regarding the burial
of the poor.
He learned that an undertaker near th-
City Hall did the city’s work in this partioue
lar, and securing the location of the plaoe
he started on, his mind full of his newly
formed plans.
Among the many people whom he met on
the crowded tbroughfare he did not notice
that, as he passed a lamplight, a well
dressed gentleman paused abruptly, stared
at him fixedly, and then hurried after his
receding form.
It was Mr. Elliott, the father of the lit
tle girl, Mabel, he had saved that morning
on the avenue.
It seemed to be the intention of Mr.
Elliott to detain and question him, but
something in Giulio’s sad and abstracted
maner aronsed his interest, and he deter
mined to follow him.
Giulio at last reached a large lighted
store. He paused at the window and be
gan to count the money he hail taken from
the bank.
Mr. Elliott, watching him curiously, be
gan to feel a little disappointed.
“Where can he have got so much money
honestly?” lie murmured. “I have taken a
rare interest in him his heroic behavior
this morning. I hope he is honest and in
dustrious.
Giulio pursued his wny, and paused fin
ally in front of a somber, dimly lighted
place.
Mr. Elliott started strangely as he opened
the door.
For it was an undertaker’s store.

RETRIBUTION.
Giuseppe Santo forgot all abont his
threat to have Giulio arrested for desert
ing him during the ensuing twenty-four
hours.
Either remorse at his past inhuman treat
ment of Teresa, or the possession of the
monoy Dyke had paid liim, led him to
drink more freely than usual, and all that
night his miserable home was tnesceno of a
wild debauch on the part of himself, his
friends, and, a part of the time, of Dyke.
It was bite the ensuing day when the
padrone learned enough of Giulio to know
that ho had sec red mon v somewhere to
bury little Teresa at bis own expense, and
also that he never intended to return to his
old slavery again.
Still half-drunken from the dobauoh of
(he previous evening, he made a visit to the
polico office, and laid a charge against
Giulio. He loldaoathetin stow of relation

A visitor was awaiting him, a man whom
ho greeted with the cheery welcome of
hail-fellow well met, but who, with a dark
frown on his sullen brow, eyed him sul
lenly.
It was Dyke, and he never replied to the
padrone s salutation.
"What is the matter?" asked Santo, with
a surprise that was evidently assumed.
“Don't you know?” demanded Dyke, sul
lenly.
“No; how should I?"
“Well, 1 was robbed last night.”
“Robbed! where, how?”
“Here by you.”
Dvke had arisen to his feet and clenched
his fist.
“No lies!” he cried, facing Santo fiercely.
“I see it in your false, evil face to deny th*

pocket, in this room, l ist night. They re
fer to the case of ibeso two children, and
could be of no vain* to any one except
yourself. What have you done with them?
Come, no lies. There will be serious
trouble if you do not instantly deliver them
up to me. ”
Before tho determined m inner of Dyke,
the padrone quailed visibly, but ho said
roujlhlv;
"Tour papers? I know nothing of them.*
“(live them up to me."
“You accuse me wrongfully.”
Dyke ground his teeth, ami made a men
acing movement toward Saute.
Iho padrone’s head sank back between
his shoulders until he assumed the pose ol
some and adly serpent.
At tho same mom* nt he drew a long,
murderous-loo'dug knife.
“Maledetti!” be hissed venomously.
“You menace me in my own house? Go
or 1 will plung • the knif into you.”
Dyke retreated to th • door.
“Beware!” 110 threatened fiercely. "You
shall n>t profit by the theft. I will have
your life for vour trea hery.”
Santo laughed derisively.
Wh 11 his visitor was gone, however, lie
locked the door, and drew a time-worn
paoket of papers from his pocket.
"Dyke may well wish to secure the
papers,” he muttered, with a complacent
chuckle, “but they are now mine, and I
shall keep them. They will prove a valu
able document against this man Vance;
they may enable me to make a fortune by
keeping the boy, Giulio, under my control.
I will go in search of him, for Dyke may
outwit me by finding him to battle and de
feat me.”
It was about dusk that evening when
Santo was returning to his home
He had traced Giulio, but the latter had
gone to the funeral of little Teresa. When
he returned, the police, notified of his
whereabouts, would arrest him, and then
Santo would regain control of him.
As the padrone passed a comer he
nearly staggered and fell. A man had
sprung from a shadowed doorway and
seized him fiercely.
J “My papers!" hissed a determined voice
in hi, Mr. “I li tv it revolver ready iu tuy

He leveled the weapon straight at Santo's
head.

Tho revolver snapped, but did not ex

In a moment Kanto grappled his enemy.
Blow after blow ho rained on hi, de

Dyke had again used tho revolver, and

Fatally wounded, the padrone summoned
a vengeful strength to hi, command.

The knife was lifted, and fell once twice,
a score of times.
When the sanguinary conflict had termi
nated, both mi n lay deluged in blood on
tho pavement
Dyke was found to be dead, Banto in an
expiring condition.
In the pursuanoo of his evil plots against
(Dalio Wynne the padrone had met his
doom.
He was removed to his miserable home,
and his brother was sent for.
Dying, unable to speak an intelligible
word, lie intrusted the papers he had sto
len from I)yko to his charge.
They were destined to remain unopened
for many years to come.
The Wynne secret seemed to perish with
the untimely fate of those who sought to
benefit by it.
That night the cruel padrone |iaid the
penalty of his crimes.
Retribution had overtaken hi, guilty
soul one hour after poor Teresa Wynne
was consigned to the ‘-rave.

A traveler through Mexico saw at a
mountain station a tall, bulky Mexican
wiih gigantic frame and a baby face, who
would have excited admiration any
where. He wore an edormous hat, hung
with at least one hundred dollars’ worth
of silver bullion, was armed with a re
volver and and a rifle, and had down
each seam of his trousers a row of skulls
and crossbones in solid silver, each skull
as big as a dollar. Everybody enjoyed
the appearance of this splendid person,
and no one more than he himself.
The origin of the name of “Blue
Stocking” is ancient and honorable. In
1400 a society of littcrati was formed in
Venice. The members ot the original
society wore as a badge of membership,
blue stockings, and when a branch of the
order was formed in Paris in 1590, the
custom of wearing the badge was carried
thither, and from thence to England,
where it was started by the brilliant Mrs.
Montagu in 1780. The last member died
in the person of Miss Moucklon, who
died in 1810, and literally the “Bluo
Stockings'’ are no more.
The Next Congress.
The membership of the Senate was
completed of the 14th of June, when the
New Hampshire Legislature elected Mr.
William E. Chandler, who was Secretary
of the Navy in President Arthur’s Cali:
net, to succeed the late Senator Pike,
whose place had been temporarily filled
by Mr. Cheney, appointed by the Gov
ernor.
In the Senate, as it was constituted
when the forty-uinty Congress ended last
March, there were forty-two Republicans
and thirty-four Democrats, counting the
two Virginia Senators as Republicans.
Twenty-six Senators have been elected,
including the vacancy election in New
Hampshire. In twenty-one States the
retiring Senator is succeeded by one of
the same party, and in nine of these cases
the Senator was re-elected.
The Republicans gained a Senator in
Nevada; the Democrats gained one in
each of the States of New Jersey. Vir
ginia, Indiana, and California; but it is
expected that there will be a contest over
the new Senator from Indiana, and his
admission is somewhat in doubt.
When the Senate meets, then, the Re
publicans will have thirty-eight members,
without counting Mr. Riddlebergei. of
Virginia,who is rather erratic in politics;
and the Democrats will have thirty-six or
thirty-seven, if they • can seat their new
member from Indiana,
The division of the Senate politically,
on geographical lines, is more marked
to-day than it ever was before. Sixteen
Southern States are represented by two
Democrats each. Eighteen Northern
States have two Democratic Senators.
The doubtful Mr. Riddleberger, of Vir
ginia, is the only Republican Senator
from any State ot the South. The repre
sentation of three States, Virginia, Ohio
and California, is divided. Thus, while
there is but one Republican Senator from
the South, there are but four Democratic
Senators from the North.
The new House of Representatives will
eonsist, as nearly as can by estimated, of
108 Democrats and 154 Republicans, and
four members of the Labor and Green
back parties. The Democrats a i 1.1 there
fore be in full control of the body, and,
as in the last Congress, the two branches
w ill be out of sympathy with each other
politically.
Avery large number, an unusual num
ber, of the members appear in Congress
for the first time. Of the :i'?s members,
onlvl9B sat in the la- Congress, seven
teen others return to the House of Rcpre
i sentatives after an absence, and one
I other has served in the Senate but not
jin the House of Representatives. There
are, consequently, 109, almost exactly
one-third, who will be wholly inexperi
enced in Congressional duties.— Youth'i

By planting early of an early-rijiening

to whi h the rip tied corn mav be drawn

labor, is a better plan than the old-time
practice of plowing or cultivating be
tween tlm rows of stalks and leaving tho
latter to be seeded just at the beginning
Of winter. In these times this late-sown
wheat will not amount to much; but by
clearing oil early the wheat may be suc-
-dully grown after the corn. The

Swine as Weed Krndieatore.
('oionel F. I). Curtis, Charlton, N. Y.,
tolls the Elmira Uun’andman he has
known an acre of liveforever to be ex
terminated by one season’s efforts of
hogs; and they are equally effective
against other persistent plants that
cumber the ground:
‘‘The best way is to fence off all spots
infested with noxious weeds hard to kill,
and turn in hogs. Shelled corn should !
be scattered about to induce them to
root, and they should not be fed so much
but that they will have keen appetites.
The little puggy breed, are good for
nothing as reformed. Mr. Hoffman ha,
a breed that is geuuino. They take
naturally to nature’s food and will thrive
on grass and roots. Wild morning glory
can be eradicated in the same way, and I
have no doubt quack also. It has* very
sweet root and if the hogs are pinched u
little on the start, until they got a taste,
they would also destroy the quack. If
the ground be too bard it should be
ploughed, and corn scattered about.
Hogs will also cat the roots of Canada
thistles, as they are quite sugary. The
good things hogs will do, when they have
u chance, have never all been told. They
arc really a very important part of the
farm and its outfit. I make my Durco
Jersey’s useful in ridding the farm of
weeds and in enriching the fields in turn
They also aid in making up the balance
sheet. ”
Deep Plowing.
In farming, as well as in dairying or
grazing, everything depends upon the
condition of the soil. Here is the foun
dation, and unless this is in proper con
dition the substructure is bound to fall.
A great deal has been said and written
as to the proper depth to plow, and there
is such a difference of opinion among
farmers in regard to it the question is
still as far from being settled as ever. We
think, however, that the leading cause
for such difference of opinion may be
found in the land itself. That good
crops are and can be grown on shallow
plowed land that is good no one will
deny, provided the season be neither too
wet nor too dry—i. e., with moderate
rains the whole season. In such a season
any one can raise good crops. But such
seasons are rare, and, in fact, every sea
son is likely to be attended with either a
long drought or a long wet spell. Now
what the fanner wants is to guard against
both, and the only way to do it is to
break up his land as deeply as possi
ble—say not less than seven to ten
inches. Bet how is this to mend the
matter? We answr, very easily. Incase
of ah-avy rain a large portion of the
water, instead of running off, will be ab
sorbed by the deeply disintegrated land,
where it is held as if by a sponge for the
use ot' the plants, and if a drought should
intervene, there is a supply of water just
where the plants want it, and when ex
hausted, its place is at once supplied by
capillary attraction from below. It will
thus be seen that by deep plowing the
farmer provides against draught by hav
ing a supply of water in reserve, or a
place ready to receive and hold it when
ever it comes. The better to insure, this,
however, as well as to facilitate the es
cape of too much water, it is better to use
a subsoil plow and an additional team,
running the same immediately after the
breaking plow, and ripping up the sub
soil the desired depth. This need not
be done for every crop raised on the
land, but only once in every three or
four years.
11 has been well said that it is , better
to have two acres of good land, one on
top of the other, than as many acres
alongside of each other, as it costs only
half as much to tend them. The way to
do this is by deep plowing, and thus
double the depth of the soil, as well as
the crops grown thereon.

One of llic most formidable diseases to
which fruit trees are liable is the “fire
blight.” it, attacks the trees at different
periods of ih growing season, from June
to September, and generally the young
parts first. The leaves flag, the sap
oozes out in globules through the bark
and has a disagreeable odor, and the dis
eased branch turns black, as if it had
been burned by fire. When the pear
tree is attacked it is a difficult matter to
save it, the disease spreads so rapidly.
In apple and quince trees it is less fatal,
rarely killing more than a portion of the
tree.
Scientists and farmers alike differ in
their opinions as to what causes fire
blight, whether it be the sun, the at
mosphere or an insect. Nor do authori
it.ies in the matter agree in their treatment
of fire blight. In the opinion of the
writer the only effective and trustworthy
treatment is to cut away,the very day the
disease is discovered, the blighted parts
into the healthy wood where there is no
trace of the disease, and burn up imme
diately all the diseased portions cut off.
Charles Downing said; “When fire
blight has actually appeared, the only
remedy seems to be the knife and the saw
most vigorously applied, to eradicate
every symptom of diseased and discolored
bark or wood. If you would save your
tree, cut at once on the first apparent
symptom of the disease, and be sure you
cut it clean out. ” P. Barry says: “The
only remedy for fire blight is to cut in
stantly the blighted parts into the
healthy wood and burn them up imme
diately.”
Tv. j blight attacks the young shoots
of the current season’s growth and causes
these to w ither and become brown and
curly in mid summer. The cause is un
ce tain and the injury is not materially
gr, at. The remedy is cutting away at
llu first appearance of the trouble.
Apple blight, like the dreaded fire
blight, is a serious disease. It attacks a
whole branch or limb, and sometimes
liulf of the top of a tree is destroyed be
fore it becomes apparent to an ordinary
o', ,-ervei. A gain there is no rem dy ex
cept io cut away the diseased portions
mid burn these up. The pear-leaf blight
is a soit of blight that appears on the
leaves during July and August, first in
small brown i[wits These spots spread
rapid! over the leaves until their growth
is stopped. To avoid the evil effect of
leaf blight the great point is to get a
rapid, vigorous growth before midsum
mer.
Readers, especially those having small
experience will doubt less be disappointed
bemuse a long list of so ' ailed remedies
has not been given for blight —remedies
such as are advised from year to year by
many writers. These have been avoided
because there is in reality hut one course
! t pursue— the heroic one of outline away
the d'seaed parts and destroying them

An English WfcMt Field.
There was another wheat field, by the
side of which I used to walk sometimes
in the eveuitigs, as tho grains in the ears
began to grow firm. The path ran Tor a
mile beside it—a mile of wheat in one
pices—all those million, million stalks
the same height, all with about thesaino
I number of grains in each ear, all ripening
■ together. Tho hue of the surface trav
eled along as you approached; the tint
i of yellow shifted farther like tho reflec
tion of sunlight on water, but thesurlace
was really much the same color every
! where. It seemed a triumph of culture
1 over such a space, such regularity, such
i perfection of myriads of plants springing
in their true lines at tho same time, each
particular oar perfect, and a mile of it.
Ivrfeet work with the plow, the drill,
the harrow iu every detail, and yet such
breadth. Let your hand touch the ears
lightly as you walk—druwn through
them us if over the side of a boat in
water —feeling tho golden heads. The
sparrows tly out every now and then
ahead; somo of tho birds like their corn
as it hardens, and some while it is soft
and full of milky sap. There are hares
within, and many a brood of partridge
chicks that cannot yet use their wings.
Thick as the seed itself the feathered
creatures have been among the wheat
since it was sown. Finches, more nu
merous than tlie berries on the hedges;
sparrows like tho finches multiplied by
finches, linnets, rooks, like leaves on the
trees, woodpigeons whose crops are like
bushel baskets for capacity, and now, as
it ripens, the multitude will lie multi
plied by legions, and as it comes to the
harvest there is a fresh crop of sparrows
from the nests in the barns, you may see
a brown cloud of them a hundred yards
long. Besides which there were the rab
bits that ate the young green blades, and
tho mice that will be busy in the sheaves,
and the insects from springtime to gran
ary, a nameless host uncounted. A
whole world, as it were, let loose upon
the wheat to eat, consume and wither it,
an yet it conquers the whole world.
The great field you see was filled with
gold corn four feet deep as a pitcher is
filled with water to the brim. —English

A Chinese Bookkeeper.
The Chinese book-keeper is a curiosity,
as he flourishes on the western coast and
around Portland, Oregon, says Frank
Nicholson in the Qlobe-Demeerat. I was
ui) around there recently, and with the
idea of bringing home some Chinese
curosities, visited several stores and
shops. Some of the biggest merchants
in that country, you know, are Chinese.
I went into one small place where a lot
of books were spread out on a long coun
ter, behind which was a Chinaman, while
behind a sort of a desk at the other end
was another wearer of the pigtail. The
books looked to me like almanacs, if the
Chinese have such things, and, walking
up to the counter, I turned two or three
of them over, looking at them to satisfy
myself as to what they were, though, of
course, I couldn't have told if I had
looked a year. The ink was still wet, as
if a hen with inked feet had been walk
ing back and forth over them. This
gave me the idea that I strayed into a
a manufactory of Chinese almanacs, and
noticing the yellow-hued gentleman be
hind the counter looking at me, I care
lessly inquired: “How muchee, John?”
lie looked at me still, but without reply
ing. “How muchee, John?” I repeated:
“want to buyee.” ThC time John’s
features changed. lie actually smiled
as he replied: “Me no selle these bookee;
me kcepee countec, tellee how muchee
Melican man owee.” I had actually been
trying to buy the man’s set of books. I
don’t know whether he was the keeper
of books for that entire business portion
of the city, but if he wasn’t he had books
enough to have kept all of their accounts.
Their system is certainly original, and
different from that with which the Eng
lish book-keeper has to w restle.
Fancy Fowls and Fancy Prices.
Robert Colgate, President of the At
lantic White Lead Company, is rapidly
stocking Sandacre, as his country seat
at Quogue, L. 1., is called. He lias lately
bought sixty fowls of the black Minorca
breed. He' paid apiece for them.
He is about to add about SSOO worth of
black Leghorns. He has a number of
Plymouth Hocks that cost $lO each. Mr.
Colgate has bought five incubators and
eight brooders. One of the incubators
holds 500 eggs. He has SB,OOO invested
so far in fowls, incubators and brooders.
W. K. Vanderbilt has the largest stock
of fancy fowls in this country, having
invested $15,000. He is the only rich
man that makes money out of the busi
ness. It pays him five per cent. He
has 3,000 fowls and a full assortment of
incubators and brooders. Some of the
latter were set out in the snow last,
winter when the thermometer indicated
zero and brought their stock of chicks
through all right. He has 100 English
pheasants. Their eggs are being used in
incubators. The chicks will be raised
in brooders. Pheasants will not hatch
in confinement. At Tuxedo l’ark, where
1,000 pheasants were introduced last year,
the result has not been satisfactory.
Only 700 chicks were hatched. These
proved to be weak anil spiritless. They
were hatched by bantams. These cannot
take care of pheasants, which run almost
as soon as they pick the shell. When
once out of the coop they are lost, ns no
body can find them any more than they
can mice. It is said that every pheasant
raised at Tuxedo Park cost $lO. —-Yew

A Canyon by Moonlight.
Even more enchanting w as the canyon
as seen by moonlight. Then all the
varied features and colorings of the day
were toned in strange, unnatural mono
chromatic lights and shades. Each line of
cliffs and bossy crags seemed transmuted
\ “alternately to ebony arid ivory.” A
mysterious silvery gauze floated around
the tips of the brown, gloomy forests;
and the still reaches of water flowed, ink
in the shadow, crystal in the light; or,
where agitated, changed in the moon
beams to troubled drifts of snow. Great
unreclaimed regions, too, were left, of
vague and solemn darkness. Hearing
the panther’s yell and the rapid bark of
the coyote—echoed by the gorge into
maniacal shriek and laughter—and
startled by the sepulchral call of the owl’s
“who? who-e? who? whoone need make
litlle effort of the imagination to feel he
had here reached the region of Dante’s
pen and Dore’s pencil; and that by
answering that sentinel challenge satis
factorily and advancing a few paces he
might meet unearthly sights, or plunge
beneath the quiet waters of oblivion.—

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart I
another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, 111 I
this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate arid distinct I
for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused vy I
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. Jhe 81 .aieiuft I
patient gets no better, biit probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper nn |
like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling au I
distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.
Mrs. K F. Morgan, of No. 71 Lexington St.,
rHYSiCIANS East Boston, Mass., says: “Five years ago I
1 iiiuiumnu was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles.
■ AILED Having exhausted the skill of three phy
sicians, I was completely discouraged, and so
weak 1 cdufu with difficulty cross the room
alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and
using the local treatment recommended in his ‘Common Sense
Medical Adviser.’ 1 commenced to improve at once. In three
months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. I
wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my
health had been restored, and offering to send the full particulars
to any one writing me for them, and enclosing a stampcd-cn
wlope for reply. 1 have received over four hundred letters.
In reply, I have described my case and the treatment used,
and have earnestly advised them to *do likewise.’ From a greut
many I have received second letters of thunks, stating that they
had commenced the use of ‘Favorite Prescription,’ had sent tho
$1 .50 required for the ‘ Medical Adviser,’ ana had applied the
local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were
much better already.”

most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. It
is not recommended ns a “cure-all,” tut
as a most perfect Specific for woman's
peculiar ailments.
At* a powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to tho whole system,
and to the uterus, or womb and its ap
pendages, in particular. For overwork’d,
