I do wish, ” exclaimed Mrs. Deacon Appleby, “that everything wouldn’t alius come in a heap!” Wall, wall, Samantha, don’t fret,” said the deacon, who sat in a comer mending a “hold back,” which had broken while driving home from town that afternoon. “I guess if somebody didn’t fret things would get wuss than they be, for of ail the procrastinatin’ critters you beat the wust of ’em. - The idea of your waitin’ till Saturday afore yon went to town to git them clothes, not a thing to put on your back Sbr Sunday!” “No use of stewin’ about that, now that I’ve been and got back and bonght the clothes,” said the deacon, his* tem per not the least raffled by the lashing of his consort’s rather sharp tongue. “You’ve bought ’em, but they ain’t here,” returned the good woman. “I couldn’t wait for ’em to be fixe A The misfit parlor man said that they alius cai’lated to have the goods a per fect, Lang up, nobby fit afore he deliv ered ’em to customers. Lucky, Saman tha, that I see that advertisement of the misfit parlors, for there you can git custom made goods at ready maRa prices!” “You picked up a good many slang words for one trip to town, it seems to me,” said Mra. Appleby, amid a great clatter of tea kettle and other domestic ntensils upon the kitchen stove. “Them ’ere ain’t slang. They’re terms that belong to the trade,” ex plained the deacon. “Wall, I dunno what a suit o’ clo’es 11 amount to ye, with >you in one town and they in another; s’posin’ they don’t come?” v SrjvfcvSfcnar bustling about m the preparation of tea, and the deacon, having finisbnR mending the harness, was out attend ing to the chores, which always hurried him at that hour. Six o’clock came; supper was all ready. Still no express bundle arrived for the deacon. It ought to have come on the coach. Mrs. Appleby grew more and more uneasy; even the' calm deacon began to brush with his hand the clothes he had on, wondering if they couldn’t be made to answer in case his new suit ’■ did not come. But no—they would not do. He haR been humiliated enough by being com pelled to wear them to town that day. The truth was, his thrifty wife had undertaken a few days before these events to sponge the deacon’s clothes with a famous cleansmg soap which had been recommended to her. The soap was indeed effective. It re moved all the stains .and grease, but at the same time took out every vestige of the original dye wherever the sponge was applied. The result was a generally mottled effect which was so ridiculous that the wearer laughed every time he looked at them. He had hoped that the new suit would arrive before the young minister came down to supper. But it was a vain hope. “I guess he’ll think we’re mortal poor for you to wear them things,” ««RR Mrs. Appleby. “Mebbe he’ll think I’m all the more stiddy for a deacon if I don’t pay so much attention to dress, h'Vo the world’s people,” was the ready reply. As a matter of fact Mr. Graves did not think of noticing his genial host’s attire, and although Mrs. Appleby was “fidgety” at the table Doris and her father were pleasant enough to make up. But when 9 o’clock—the deacon’s bedtime—came and Mr. Graves retired for the night the Applebys looked at each other in dismay. “Now what d’ye think?” exclaimed Mrs. Appleby. “Looks as if I’d got to stay at home from lneetin’ to-morrow or go and wear these here brindled trousers,” said the deacon with a rather dismal smile. If it only wasn’t wicked to pretend to be ill and not to go,” said Doris faintly. “But it is wicked,” asserted her fa ther. “Jest as I expected ’twould turn out when you come home without the new clo’es, ” said Mrs. Appleby. I don’t see how I could help it. They needed fixin’ over, and I knew you’d scold if I axed you to do it with so little time. ” You oughter got ’em the fust of the week, as I told ye to. It all comes of your procrastinatin’ that I’m alius tell- in’ ye about.” “There is somebody at the door this minute,” cried Doris, and she flew to Brandon, Ky." meetin’, and have it given but from the pulpit with the rest of -the church notices that I’d got a new outfit some- wheres on the way, ” suggested the deacon, with a humorous twist of his lips, which always had a smile lurking about them ready to spring into visible existence. . “I wouldn’t make sport out of sacred subjects if I was in your place,” said Samantha with unabated asperity. The current of debate was turned at this point by the appearance of Doris, whose twenty years of life had developed the energetic qualities of her mother with the never fading good temper of her father—a combination, by the way, which went very well with a sweetly simple manner and a full share of beauty. “The coach is coming, father,” she announced, “and I think it brings Mr. Graves, the new minister.” “For pity’s sake!” cried Mrs. Ap pleby. _ “I never thought of its bein’ time for the coach yit,” exclaimed the deacon, hastily thrusting the piece of harness which he was mending into a pocket and running to the sink to wash his hands. “Doris has got to meet him at the door. I shan’t, with this faded caliker on,” said Mrs. Appleby. “I will meet him, mother, and show him to his room,” said Doris, and .she added, “You and father will have time to brush yourselves up a bit before he cranes down to supper.” With nothing but sunshine npon her sweet face she adjusted a ribbon at her throat, and another at her waist, with the effect of a general change of attire, for it took but little to adorn her sim ple beauty. She opened the front door just as Mr Graves alighted from the co^ch. He was a pleasant faced young man— a student sent there for one Sabbath as a “candidate.” As yet he had -not gained a very ministerial look, Espe cially since he wore a traveling Suit of gray, with russet shoes and crush hat. Doris greeted him with unconscious grace, but he was a little embarrassed- ‘If I may tax your kindness so soon,” he said, as he paused in the doorway of the pleasant chamber to which she. conducted him, “I would like a peedle nr.R +hrg«rt. I caught my coat sleeve^ oh the door of the coach and the re sult is a sad looking rent.” 7 And he held up his arm to shdw the extent of the damage. “That is too bad, but I can soon mend it for you. I’m afraid;” she added, with her sunny smile, “that un- you are more nimble with the needle than father is you would" have a hard time mending that. It is dreadful tear and it will show, the best I can do.” Mr. Graves laughed, and handed her the garment with a grateful look: “The worst of it is,” he added, “I. had a parcel checked on the cars and the baggage man couldn’t find it at the station when I arrived. It contained more suitable garments than these for to-morrow.” <• t ‘T hope it is not lost,” said Doris. “Probably it will be found in time for me to check it back again when I return.” In the meantime Mrs Appleby was answer Jhe.IimooL-— - - -— f- A boy stood on the step with a bundle. _____ “Express for the deacon,” explained the youngster. “Carried by on t’other train, and come back on the one from the west. Dad' told me to fetch it right up, as ye might be wanting of it!” “There, there*Samantha!” cried the deacon, holding the bundle exultantly" close to the good lady’s face. - “Now what comes of all your talk? Here ’re the clo’es, and they sent ’em jest as they said they would.” Samantha relented in spirit, as she usually did after the worry of the day was over, and so they retired in peace. The deacou would have liked to try on his purchase before going to bed, but it occurred to him that that would ap pear like boyish impatience, so he con tented himself with tearing a hole in the wrapping paper -and obtaining a glimpse of the dark goods through’the opening. In the morning, for some unaccount able reason, the Applebys all over slept, and when the deaeon and bis energetic wife arose they found that they had a narrow margin of time in which to do the ordinary morning work of a farm, which cannot be omit ted even on the Sabbath. This tended to irritate Samantha, and even the deacon found it hard to keep his Sunday countenance during a hastily’prepared breakfast. Mr. Graves was a little anxious over the coming or deal of preaching, for the second time in his experience, a regular written ser mon. “We’ll be late, just as sure as the world 1” said Mrs. Appleby for.the doz enth time after Mr. Graves had gone to his room for a half hour of medita tion. “Time enough, mother. Don’t fret,” said the deacon. But you’ve got your clothes to change yet, and no knowin’ whether they’ll come within a rod of fittm’ ye,” persisted Mrs. Appleby. “FH resk it. I’ll wear’em anyway, fit or no fit,” said the deacon impa- cne ample ngure or ms nose, wnue ms { pale cheeks became almost as red as ! the deacon’s. “Got the hoss ready?” ventured the latter. “Yes, father. But” “Wall, we hain’t much time to spare. Ye see”— The good man was on the point of making an explanation, but checked himself and began, with short, cautions steps to cross the room, add ing: ■ “Come, come, if the hoss is ready.” A more ridiculous figure than that jut by the deacon it would be hard to imagine. He had put on his new suit of dothes. They were made of dark goods of fine quality. But the legs were several inches too short, and so tight that they set like the costume of a circus per former. The coat was equally short, and to introduce the buttons to their respective buttonholes would have been an impossibility. And every mo ment the deacon made a vain attempt to stretch the too economical waistcoat down to cover a zone of white-shirt and suspender buttons betwixt that garment and the trousers. “What in the world did you bay them duds for?” gasped Samantha in the deacon’s ear, when they were seat ed beside each other on the forward seat of the beach wagon. “Don’t say a word, please don’t, and mebbe there won’t nobody notice it!” was the hurried response. “Not notice ’em!” echoed Mrs. Ap pleby. “There’s a pesky mistake, unless the clo’es shrunk tremendously after I left them,” said the deacon. At the meeting house the latter glid ed into a pew near the door partially unobserved, after the services were be gun ; and in perspiring misery he sat through the hour of worship until aroused by a touch upon his arm. It was the boy who had brought the ex press bundle the evening before, and he had another bundle now. “Dad didn’t see this one when he sent me up last night, and so I fetched it here, knowin’ you ’ always was ter meetin’,’’ said the boy, handing over an other J5undle. “What have you there, father?” Doris exclaimed noticing the bundle hugged under his arm. “Oh—yes—I forgot—but it’s yourin, I guess,” he stammered, giving it to Mr. Graves. The latter looked at it and shook his head. “I think not. Mine was larger and in plain wrapping. ” .The deacon stared at the bundle which was returned to his charge, «tiR the words “misfit parlors” in large let ters swam before his gaze. On the way home Mr. Graves and Doris did ail the talking. The deacon went into the house with .the bundle, and the first thing he did was to open it. “Woll T in x. IS COTTON KINO? WILL THE CROP OF 1890 COMMERCE?

Mrs. Appleby tried to entertain him with- becoming before meeting topics while the deacon was getting read'fe Doris came in and said the team was ready. Stffl Deacon Appleby did not put in an appearance. His wife fidgeted, Doris became uneasy, and Mr. Graves looked at his watch. ‘What in the name of natur* can that man be a-doin’?” exclaimed Mrs. Appleby at last. She started to go and see, when the door opened and Deacon Appleby came in. His face was very red, and there was a queS? pucker about his lips as though he were suppressing an indinar tion to laugh. Good land!” ejaculated Mrs. Ap pleby. “Why, father 1” Doris exclaimed. Mr. Graves stared at the apparition in the doorway, then looked down at his own slim length and_back again # lip coat and trousers, which were certainly a fit for himself, “Them are the clo’es I bought!” he declared. “Then whose are them you’ve been tryin’ to squeeze yflurself into, I’d like to know?” demanded Mrs. Appleby. Both glanced toward the ^doorway. Mr. Graves and Doris stood on the threshold, and both were smiling. “Father,” said Doris, with her sweet est laugh, “the parcel which came last night was for Mr. Graves. Those are his clothes which you have on.” It hardly seemed like Sunday in a deacon’s household, with a minister for a guest, during the next half hour. It would be difficult to say which laughed the hardest, for even Mrs. Appleby did her share in that line. “Wall, we’d better swap back, if ’tis the Sabbath,” said the deacon at last. And Mr. Graves laughingly assented. * * * * * * * Mr. Graves remained through his vacation and preached regularly at the little meeting house. With the next term he graduated, was called to the rural parish, and set up Ms home there, with Doris Appleby to furnish sunshine for him.—Ernest A Young in Yankee Blade. The Indian of Today. There are no longer any Logans, Blaekhawks, Tecumsehs, Pontiaes or Osceolas, and in their places we have only the greasy prowler of the plains, the semi-barbarian, the mendicant. The Indian of the present day is lazy and treacherous, and is not even pict uresque in appearance. He is not tall and well proportioned, as we once fan cied him, and as for being straight and commanding, his legs resemble a pair of ice tongs, his back is humped and his eyes have lost their aboriginal fire. He is no longer a creature of kingly form, and there is absolutely nothing about him to excite interest or sympa thy.

A Big Crop and a Tight Money Market May Combine to Ho Damage. When the farmer is in trouble every class of business suffers. This fact is painfully evident in every part of Geor gia. The low price of cotton has al most precipitated a panic, and if relief in some form or other does not soon come the list of failures wiH be unpre cedented. Every farmer who is not forced to sell his cotton is determined to hold it for a better price, and the commission merchant who has it stored has locked up his money vault and lost the combi nation.

It is a question whether good seasons and lig crops are a blessing or a curse When a commodity is plentiful, it depre ciates in value. If only three-fourths of a cotton crop had been made the staple would now be worth 10 or 11 cents, whereas with a big crop it ofily com mands 7 and 8. In the first case all of the crop would have been on the mar ket by this tune and the money, in cir culation, while in the last, not more than one-half has been sold. And here is another evil resulting from big crops. Southern people are very sanguine, and along in Jnly and August, when everything points to a good crop, we begin to feel independent -and be come extravagant. This thing is bought and that thing is bargained for without any thought as to what cotton is worth when placed on the market. When the outlook for a poor crop presents itself we feel the need of retrenchment in expen ditures, and so shape our transactions as to meet a probable emergency. Then follows a lively demand for cotton at a good price, and all things taken together we find ourselves better off in the end than if we had doubled our production. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANEY. Nests fob Gebms.—The impurities that collect under the finger-nails have been investigated by the bacteriological laboratories of Vienna. The matter obtained in 78 examinations was placed in culture solutions, and gave 36 kinds of micrococci, 18 of bacilli, and 3 of sarcime. Cleanliness of the nails is es pecially necessary tor all who come near a wound, and'for those who live in a nei(R>lu>rhraul Oniilnmif alig. Electrically Aimed Gtrxs.—In a new invention, a small .dry battery, an electro-magnet and a circuit-closer- of mercury are so arranged in the stock of a gun that the weapon can be discharg ed only when elevated to a predeter mined angle. At other positions the trigger is locked and cannot be puHed. The device is claimed to ensure precis ion in range, and accuracy of firing at night when the range has been previous ly obtained. The Moon-Weather Problem.— From tables made by the use of synop tic charts, eliminating local disturban ces, Dr. G. Meyer believes'that he has accomplished what other investigators have sought to do without success— shown an influence of the moon on the weather. The height of the barometer, in months of September to January, is lowered at the time of full moon and raised during the first quarter. No ef fect can be traced for other months. Artificial Skull-Shaping.—As tonishing success has attended the ef forts of Dr. Lannelongue, an eminent specialist of Paris, to give intelligence to a little idiot girl. Though four years old, the child could neither walk nor stand, and never smiled nor took notice of anything. The doctor concluded that the abnormal narrowness of the head obstructed the growth of the brain, and in May last he made an incision in the centre of the skull and cut a piece * of hone from the left side. The result was marvelous. Within less ’than a month the child could walk and she has become quite bright—playing, smiling and taking notice of everything around her. Cold Waves.—A cold wave is de fined by Prof. T. Russell ag. a fall of temperature in twenty=four hours of 20 degrees Vver an area of 50,000 square miles, the temperature in some part of this area ascending to 36 degrees.* Be tween 1880 and 1890 no less than 691 cold waves were recorded in the United States. In the great cold wave of Jan. 17,1882, the fall of 20 degrees extended over an area of 1,101,000 square miles, and the fall of 10 degrees included 2,- 929,000 square miles. In six cold waves of the ten years the area of the fall of 20 degrees was more than a mil lion square igiles. Cold waves foHow a day after an area of low pressure, or occur to tha southeast of an area of high pressure, reaching their greatest extent when both conditions are present. The New Discovery. You have heard your friends and neigh bors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from per sonal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonderful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King’s New Dis covery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should he afflicted with a cough, cold or any throat, luug or chest trouble, secure a bottle and give it a fair trial. It is ■HI
