OU want Anything!’ in a decidedly tersely tone, was the greeting old Jool Gringer gav« the full young school, master, who stood fumbling the latch o) the front gate. That wasn't th< right way to encourage the young man, and shrewd Joel Gringei knew it. He wanted to make him go through the torture of telling him plainly that he had come to see his daughter so that he could put. an end to the thing then and there. "Hint I—I—just wanted to know if Miss—hm—hm—is at home,’’ and the young fellow relieved his nervousness by digging up tho gravel walk with his left toe. “I thought your business was to teach the children to speak the English lan guage, and hero you can't do anything but hum aud haw. I'm at home, and so is the Growler there. Anything else?" “No, sir," with a loud ahom; "I was just going up tho road to Mr. Mason's, and I wanted to know if tho family were all woll—that’s all.” And the bashful young fellow seemed to have found his wits somewhere, for he turned coolly away. The old farmer's eyes wore not so sharp as he prided himself they were, or ho might have seen the flutter of something white, three distinct times,from the nar rowest opening in tho blinds above, and have guessed why the young man was so easily satisfied. Ho watched the straight, lithe young lorm until it seemed only a shadow against Neighbor Mason’s barn. “Gone on to Mason’s,” was his gruff answer (o his wife’s questioning look. “Only wanted to inquire alter tho health of the family. S'pose he thinks the dees- trick is assessed to pay him for goin’ round an’ doin’ that—ha, ha! We’ll sec how his fractions wilt work in this house. Much good it will do him to talk it over with John Mason,the old—” “Sh—I" hissed cautiously into his ear, and a warning finger told him to leave uncomplimentary references to tho neighbor—with whom he had been em broiled in a bitter lawsuit, and between whose farms a “devil’s lane” prevented any joining of line fences—unsaid. “There’s Mason’s hired man again. “Well?" “The old man sent me over to say them there hogs o’ yourn’s been Into the back cornfield ag’in an’ he won’t turn V n out till doomsday nor let me.

HI! wait till I can get out!” The last exclamation was caused by preparations for unchaining the huge bulldog Growler; and Ben Stone made one leap over the fence. “Said my say out. He’n the dog's witoessea enough, I reckon, to the Bcrim- mage there'll be.

Wo’ll show Joel Gringer Avhether I am competent to teach a girl pdditton.” “And are you sure the pryoher un derstands? 'i “Pure, darling, he's to be a 1 .

Now, ? ol^ fel lows, do your best.” Patter, patter 1 click, clickt j Nook to neck and nostril to nostril skimmed tho two fleet coursers, like two wjilt mated birds of flight. Away back on the last rldL mile or more away, the moon.light._t Uftons on something bright—a silver platw bnoklc or saddle decoration—and then there comes a-clear, ringing sound, .as when steel strikes flint. As the clatter of the hoofs rang down the road past John Mason’s twq unusual night Incidents might have been wit nessed, (he gleam of a light across the fields swaying and flickering as though carried by an excited, unsteady hand, and a man leaning against the door jof John Mason's stables, whittling a Stick and musing over something whloh evidently pleased him much. “He. he! I never helped tako them out of hern- Can’t prove it by me who's takln’ to'stealin’; h’ain’t I been behind tho baystnjsk trytn' to hammer the bung in thaff barrel? There’s one consolation; tf thpm there horses have to go fur, the've hkon well fed an' every shoo 1b as sound as k trigger —ha, ha!” In a hollow in the road, not twenty rods from Joel Gringer’s house, the thick green turf by the wayside served as a cushion for the feet of two restive steeds that would stamp at the troublesome flies. The nervy fellows—two of the most tireless travelers John Mason's sta ble could boast—champed their bite rest lessly and toBsed their heads. Adown the green, thorny breastwork that defended Joel Gringer’s possessions from the wayside grazers flitted a slight figure, crouching and baiting, and then “He’s coming! Oh, hurry, Dick! Wt cannot reach Mr. Stilwell’s lti timo; it’s—” “Three milos yet, and—” “You know Fleetwood’s gait; Mr. Mason never hud a horse tfiafooiild out run him.

Tlie sound of hoofs ip both directions aro growing distinot. “Call him, Richard! He may stop. Oh, if it only is!” “But your fattier will hear, too, and hasten I Hello, there? Wait!” In a moment the overtaken parly was seen, sure enough, to be the very preacher they were riding hard and fast to And. But while tho situation was being ex plained, tho footstops of the pursuing horse were heard close by, and in a min- ute another “Hello!” rang on their oars, hoarse and infuriated: “Stop! ((top, I command you! Young man, I'll horse whip you on tho spot If you don’t give me my daughter?" The two looked at each other in de spair. But the preacher, backwoods man that ho was, was a man of wit and resources, and of heart as well. “Keop on," said he quietly, “and ride as fast as you cm. Join your hands and lit firm In your saddle wheu I tell you. I have it all on tho top of my tongue.” Clatter, clatter—clink, clink 1 rang the sharp hoof beats! Nearer and nearei they came together; but the word’s rolled off the preacher's lips, as he rose and sauk in his stirrups, faster than the speed of the racers. Nearer and nearer sped Fleetwood until his hoarse panting almost drowned the preacher's words. But a few rods separated them. “Join your right hands," came the sham command. “Halt, I command you, in tho name of—” “Put spurs. Foreasmuch as Richard W. Anderson and Annie Gringer have consented to—” “Hold up there! I’m an officer of the law I” demanded another voice, drown ing the rest of the preacher’s “foras much." But tho wild wedding party dashed forward, and the preacher’s lips worked fast. “In the name of the Father—J’ “Halt, or you suffer the penel—" “And erf the Son and—" “Give mo my daughter, you villian.’ “And of the Holy Ghost, I pronounco that they are husband and wife. Amen ” There was a halt then, and explana tions that disarmed the man of tho law and sent old Joel Gringer back to his belated supper with vain cursings of hi! luck. The supper at Stilwell’s was flavored with plcasautor reflections, and Bnn Stone had many an opportunity to wou dcr aloud in his sly way: “How under the sun them hogs over did git Into old man Mason's cornfield jest when Dick Anderson wanted to steal Joel Gringer’s daughter."—New York Press. Why Bears Are Plentiful. Old settlors say that there are more bears in Sullivan County, New York, to iday than tbore wore a generation ngn. A number of facts make this statement one easy to be believe 1. Long ago the forests thronged with a raco of brawny hunters who shouldered deadly rifles and ivero jkoon-eyed for tho chase. The hills were dotted with the littlo homes and clear jfngs of woodsmen who made their living jwlth axes, wore iron-nerved and clear eyed, and could shoot true. Tanneries and sawmills giving employment to many men sat by tho sides of all the streams. Tho woods wore full of the sounds o! laxo-blows and the creaklngs of ox chains. Youths grow up with a desire for fame and they took rifles and went 'to seek in tho woods. A hardy race ol Ihuntsmen mado terrible war on the game, iWlth the vanishing of the groat forests ,these men disappeared from the taco o! the earth. Not all men now are hunters. There are those surrouuded by tho besl cover for game who never taste partridge ,or vension the year round. When Sullivan County was covered with a growth of huavy forest-trees hun ters walking through tho woods had good traveling, and could sco far, for tin 'brush, uudor tho sliudo of the groat trees, was not thick. Now tho huge forest imoriarohs havo gone their ways to tlif ,river-rafts and the sawmills, und aftei thorn have como second growth and brush, thick as the lrnir on a dog’s back, The gamo finds excellent crouching places in tho places in tho denso thickets, and escapes tho hunter's oye with ease. —New York Tribune, FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. DF.TASSKMNCt CROF. The process of detassnling corn con sists in removing the upper portion of tho stnik to which tho sprny of male or pollen-hearing flowers ts attached. Sev eral experiments have shown that it in creases tho crop to remove tho tassel from fully ono-lialf of the stalks before tho pollen is shod. The results of somo ex tensive tests made by the Nebraska Ex periment Station, show tho opposite effect. There was a uniformly lessened yield upon the pints when one-half of the stalks were dotassolod. Similar re- suits obtained whon the vessels were re moved after tho pollen had been matured and scattered. In view of these results, It doos not seem wise to.Interfere with nature for profit’s sake American Ag riculturist. The Mammoths sf Siberia. In his book on “The Mammoth aud the Flood,” Mr. Howorth advances a new theory with regards to the remains of mammoths and other large animals in the soil of Siberia. All over this great plain, wherever tho ground is frozen hard, are found mammoths aud other animals preserved vory fresh, so that tho wolves and bears can food upon thoir ro mams. These mammoths have boon found from the oastern border clear to the Obi River. They-have boon fouud under conditions which make it certain that they could not havo lived, unless the surroundings anil climato had, at tho time they existed, boon entirely different from the present conditions. The mains of the plants on which they fo I are also found, and southern conto.n- porary shells are discovered with the remains, pointing to climatic conlitions which no longer exist. Mr. Howorth believes that this vast plateau is one of tho most recent features in the physical geography of the world, and that its rapid elevation caused the tremendous change of climate which has enabiod the bodies of those great beasts to bo preserved intact as wo find them. Ho says that unless those animals had been frozen immediately after they died and remained frozon to tills day, they would certainly have decayed and dis appeared. A single Siberian summer sun would have destroyed thorn com pletely. It is known that further Fast the bones of great animals have been found 17,000 foot above the sea under conditions which Falconer declared to be absolutely incompatible with their mocio of life. Making False Rubles. The French chemists, Fromy and Ver- neutl, have for yoarH bocn experimenting on production of rubies by chemical synthesis. Other chemists had already given much study to the problem, and had each in a different way produced minute rubies, but no stones of merchant, able size. But in tho Comptos Rendus of the French Academy of Science, Fromy and Verneuil announce that they have ovorcome the difficulties that so long had seemed insurmountable and aro obtaining much larger crystals. Those havo already been employed in the bear ings in watches, and appear not to lie in ferior to naturul rubies in hardness, film process adopted consists in heating alu mina and a quantity of potassium bicliro- rnute with barium fluoride, or a mixture of fluorides of tho alkaline earths, to o high temperature for several days. Tin advance recently mado was due to the discovery that the addition of a small amount of potassium carbonate to the mixture promotes crystallization. It is believed that tho crystals are produced directly from the interaction of the vola tile compounds doveloped, and by cm ploying crucibles of several litres capac ity in gas furnaces, ns much as three kilograms (about 6-1 pounds) of rubies are obtained in a single operation,— Knowledge. PEA FOWLS. In reply to queries regarding pea fowls, we cannot do hotter than to quote Richardson : Tho cock does not attain the full nplendor of his plumage until he Is three years old, and tho hen doos not lay until the same age. She lays from five to sevon eggs, and sits twenty-nino days. If tho first batch of eggs be taken away bIic will lay a second, so that by having a lion turkoy foster nurse you may mnnago to have two broods in ono summer. Tho pcahon gonorally chooses a very retired spot out of the way of the peacock, who is often a cruel, unnatural father. The young must bo hatchod like Guinea fowls and young turkoys. Un less they nro fed amply and regularly they aro apt to wander. Whon fat aud hung long onough thoy make a delicious and splendid roast. Thoy should bo lardod with slices of fat bacon, tho head Bnd neck, with tho feathers on, carelully wrapped in paper and tuoked under tho wing away from tho lire, and when ready sot up in purplo glory to match the tail, adorned with feathors noatly stuck In at tho last moment. If you wUh peafowls to agree with other poultry thoy must be reared with them, otherwise they are not unfrcquoutly murdorous assassins of chicks.—Now York World. than others. Bulbs are easily kept, aud by j lanting two or three different times, from the middle of April until .funo, the season of bloom Is prolonged several months. Italian bees are said to bo more ener getic in relisting tho attacks of the bee moth than nro the common blnok bees. As a rule, moth Invasion means a weak, queenless colony and neglect. RECIPES. Spider Shortcake—Two parte rich buttermilk, one part sour cream, pear- lash to foam, salt to tasto, and flour to make a stiff batter. Roll out intti inch thick round cakes the sizo of a fry pan, crease the top witli straight lines, and bako in spiders before a good fire. Roast Goose—Boil and mash some po tatoes and fill the goose, with them. When half roasted take out the potatoes and have ready a stuffing of bread crumbs, sage and parboiled onions; All the goose and resume the roasting. Thii is a great improvement on the old mode, as it draws out tho fat and renders the fowl more delicate. Okra Poop—Fry slices of fat perk i rich brown; drain out and ndd slices of onion; fry tirown; ono quart, ot toma toes, (canned If not in season) and one quart of okra pods to throe qunrts of hot water, if you have no soup or stock ol any kind. Simmer slowly three hours, Add butter, peppor and salt. Force of Green Peas—Wash a quart of green peas in cold waler, put them in a saucopan, cover with salt water ana boil twenty minutes; they should be dry whon dons; press through a colander; put a pint of milk on to boil; add a small onion, two or three whole cloves, nnd a sprig of parsoly; rub a teaspoonful ol butter and flour each together; strain the milk over the peas, stir in the buttei and flour, lot boil until thick, season with salt and popper and serve. TRANSPLANTIN'! ONIONS. According to results obtained at the experiment station of Okie last year, lu tho matter of growing onions from seed in the greenhouse and afterwards trans- planting the young plants in tho open ground, tho results were decidedly in favor of tho transplanted ones. A month was gained in the timo of ripening of tho crop, ail the troublesome detail of keep ing the young onions from being smothered by weeds was overcome, whilo tho yield of thoso transplanted was in most cases about double that of the oth ers. The common market sorts showed 524 bushels to tho acre of the trans planted against 898 bushels from seed of the Yellow Danvers, while the Weath- ersfield showed 779 against 870 respec tively. Other kinds were even more fa vorable. The transplanting of onions is an old process among gardeners, tn fill ing in gaps and loss from seed by one pnrty, who obtained a supply from those more fortunate, ev.eti when the seed was sown in tho ordinary way out of doors. Tho writer has known of some growors who always transplanted from sood beds, to avoid various troubles con sequent from tho slow growth at first of onions grown from seed. The extra expense of tr insplanting is partly com pensated for by less hand weeding being required, ns the boo can bo mnde to do nearly alt tho wooding in the trans planted crops.—New York Witness, FARM AND OAItDEN NOTES. Give young poultry all the range pos- siblc when there is no wet. Better resu'ts will be secured if the see 1 is scattered so poultry cannot eat too fast. Turpentine and sulphur in the feed is a good preventive for gapes In young chickens. Corn fodder, put in shocks and left in the field during a good part of the fall and winter, loses from one-third to one- half of its feeding value. The rich corners about the house, bam and outbuildings would grow rhubarb, early potatoes and cabbage, instead of jimjarn weeds and burdocks. A beokeoner recommends candy pails as the best aud cheapest thing for ex tracted honey. Whon the honey granu lates they can be shipped anywhere. A grapevine ovor an outbuilding will not injure the building, but it will add tn the attractiveness of the homo and furnish plenty ot tho most wholesome fruit. Spring is pronounced tho best time by many ominent apiarists for moving bees, though it may be dono In the fall, one reason being that combs are less liable to break on ncoount of weight. Some varieties of rrladlolus are earlier Dust Test Fsr Firearms. One littlo known process to which small nrms manufactured for the United States are subjected is tho dust test, in tended to subject the pieco to the same dusting it would receive if carried by the soldier in a march across the alkali deserts of Arizona or Utah, or tho sage brush prairies of Montana or Wyoming. Troops are frequently compelled to tramp for hours through such clouds of dust that the heads of the leaders of a six-mule team can be but vaguely seen from the wagon, and tho dust so fins nnd penetrating that tho soldiers’ guns and every gnrmcntsoon becomes coated with it. The artificial production of a similar experience for an arm that might bo adopted for military service is man!* fostly a very pertinent trial. This is accomplished by placiug the rifle on « shelf within a closed box, so that the breech mechanism, which Is closed, shall bo opposite the mouth of tho bellows; fine sand Is then permitted to fall slowly across the blast of air, which thereby in two minutes, tho time of the test, drives the snnd into any open joints or into the depth of the mechanism if it is much ex posed. Tho gun is then removed and wiped carefully with the bare hand, also blow into and cleaned, just as a soldier who suddenly goes into action would do with a gun he has carried on a dusty march. Tho pieco is then fired twenty shots. This test is then repeated, the magazine being charged before exposing tho gun to the dust; tho cartridge ami the gun are then .vipod as before and the gun again fired twenty rounds. Hew Animals Bear Pain. Ono of the pathetic things connected with this life is the mannor in which the animal kingdom endures suffering, says the Florida Timcs-Uniou. Take horses, for instance, in battle, and after the first shock of a wound they make no sound. They bear tne pain with a mute, wondering endurance, and if you hear a wild groan from the battlefield it come3 from their loneliness, their loss of human companionship which seems absolutely indispensable to the comfort of domesti cated animals. The dog will carry a broken leg for days wistfully,but uncomplainingly. The cat, stricken with club or stone or caught in some trap from which it gnaws its way to freedom, crawls to some secret place and bears in silence pain which we couid not endure. Sheep and other cattle meet the thrust of the butcher's knife without a sound, and oven common poultry endure intense agony without complaint. The dovo, shot unto death, flies to somo far off bough, and and as it dies the silence is unbroken save by the pat ter on the leaves of its own life blood. The wounded doer speeds to some thick brake, and in pitiful submissiou waits for death. The oagle, struck in mid air, flght3 to the last against the fatal summons. There is no moan or sound of pain, nnd the defiant look never fades from its eyes until the lids close over them never to uncover agaiu. The least overworked institution in this country is the office that seeks the man.—Life.
