John Johnson, of New Hampshire,
gave $14,000 in cash out of his pocket
five years ago for a Fourth of July (cele¬

Georgia’s Commiss oner of Agricul¬

millions to the Northwest.
This is Presidential year in Severn

It appears that besides having ships
with no guns, England has cavalrymen
with no horse-’.. For example, the Third
(Regiment of Household Cavalry has but
800 horses for l'.iOO men, and 17,000
dragoons and hussars have but 10,-
€00 horses. In the German army the
usual proportion is 1000 horses to 700
men.

“Greece is lamenting the sad fate of

the capture, a few years ago, of Col mcl!
Ringer, for whom he obtained a ransom
of $80,000. Since then tourists have
been shy, and civilization has advanced
in Greece, so that Nico’s life of late ha*

‘'MISSUS,'’
BY BATE A. BRADLEY,
“I say, Missus, d’ye want onythih’

"Missus” looked scorniully over the

the doorway.
“Themare! She’s ghne with only one

moments of steady rub-rubbing up and

horse: “fur a spoil, ’s fur’s I go. ’
The man, from his rlotbei and man-

was a short struggle, then a pistol ic-
port, and Sam fell backward into the
body of the wagon and lay motionless.
———
Slbwly dud gradually the conscious-
ness of earthly things beg in to return to
Sam’s darkened mind. He made an ef-
fort to turn over and look around him.
“Wha—whar be If” he queried
weakly. .

When the clock struck one on the day
Missus watched Sam disappear down the
dusty road, she took up her darner and
“'Ti? W ° th ' ” “ d
u • ,
rived she rose, shut up the house and
Went wrath ully to bed.
She unlocked the door in the morning,
smiling to herself as she wondered where
Sam had spent the night after finding
the house securely fastened aga nst him.
“He'll be along in plenty time for
breakfast, with another errant ter do ia
town—shi l!e-s c eetur!” she thought.
About noon a neighbor drove into the
yard behind the old white mare. They
had caught her, h; said, straying alone
over Kingslow downs, but 8am was no-
where to be found. The few drops of
blood in the bottom of the wagon, how-
ever, hinted at a grave explanation of his
mysterious disappearance, and when, a
week later, the unrecognizable body of a
man was discovered a short distance
from where the horse was found, no room
for doubt was left in any mind, even in
the most reluctant one of Missus herself.
From the day that ihe fact of Sams
death became evi ient to her, she with-
drew wholly from the society and sym*
pathy of her neighbors, and shut herself
up alone w th her tiresome and persis-
tent reflections. That one half wish kept
ringing in her aching ears: “Ef he never
cum oack; ef he never cum back 1”
And it was wonderful how great the
number of tilings she found herself
obliged to do during the day that Sam,
she remembered now, had unassertiugly
done and left ready to her hand.
1-ay after day dragged themselves
slowly across the burning blue and dis-
ap icared in weeks and months. The
afternoon sun lay aslant the kitchen
floor, where Missus winter’s sat knitting sad re-
grots into her work.
It was easy to see that these months
had mellowed and softened her severe
nature. She was thinking—as she had
thought many times before, with, per-
haps, a touch more of self-reproa h now
in the thought. “Ef I hedn’t ha* ben
so ha’sh with him mebbe things would
ha’ gone better. A m in can’t be tied to
pots an’ tubs an’ on’ one spot a fut

sat.sfied, I spose. then. Though Ef he I could never
thought only on’t back thet way he.d find things
kum now,
different I reckon. An’he might go to
town now an’ then—in reason.”
Footsteps were heard crunching their
way up the walk to the kitchen door,
There was a moment’s hestitation, then
some one knocked, and as Missus rose
uncertainly, tilled with vai'ue, undefiner]
expectation, the door was opened wide
and a man stood iu the doorway.

Housekeeping in Olden Timex.
A writer has collected some facts about
ye olden time housekeeping, who asks:
ilow does the housekeeping at this hour
of writing compare with that of 100
years ago? Mrs. Papeudiek, in her
“Journal of Court Life in the time of
George 111. and Queen Charlotte,”
which I have before mo, mentions many
curious fucts as to domestic economy of
Li88. The dinner hour was 2 r. m., or
for company at ;i r. m. The dishes and
cooking were very much the same as
those in middle-class houses now. Malt
liquor, cider and perry were the ordinary
drinks at dinner, port and Madeira be¬
ing put ou the table along wirii the slight
Ut703131 l. Ii the ginlumm. wished .u
make a drinking bout, which was often
tho case, it began after supper.” l ew
families had more than two female
servants. Rooms were very plainly
furnished, and ornaments were kept in
closets or chests, to be brought out only
on state occasions. Little silver was in
daily use. Silver forks were only seen
in the houses of nobles and foreign em¬
bassadors. Forks had three prongs.
Knives had broad ends for eating peas
or catching up gravy, as dessert spoons
were unknown. Yet there was as much
refinement in feeling as now, modern
fashion in comfort and luxury having
gradually changed. The price of mut¬
ton or beef in 1788 was 10 cents a
pound; bread 8 cents or 10 cents a
quarter loaf; eggs iu spring, pair; loaf <i cents a
dozen; fowls, .‘10 cents a sugar,
14 cents a pound. Wages of house¬
maids were $45 to $40, or 8 guineas,
with $5 for tea or beer. Washing was
always done at home.— St. LntijS Sayings.

And tbe fullness of spring in her hair
Cloud-shadow and scudding sunburst
Were swift on tha floor of the sea.
And a mad wind was romping ita worst,
But what was their magic to me!
What the charm of the midsummer skies!
1 only saw she was there,
a dream of the seam her eyes
And the kiss of the sea in her h«U „
I watched her vanish in space;
Sheenmo wbero I walked no more;
But something had pm- «d of her graoie
To the speli of the wave and the shore.
And now, as the glad stars rise,
She comes to me rosy and rare, y
The delight of the wind in her ey
And tlie hand of the wind in her hair.’'
