A SAD MISTAKE;
Or. Deceiving Appearance*.
Mias'Mixon had just been listoning
to her neighbor. Mrs. l’oppleton, re
late how she had been bothored by a
persistent chromo man, who could not
De persuaded to go until he had sold
something, and she made up her mind
to make things warm for that man if
he ever attempted to show himself in
; her house.
When she got home, however, slio
had forgotten all about her conversa
tion, being so interested in fixing up
■:,> her dress that she was to wear to the
S ' parsonage on the morrow. There
| , was going to be a high old time tiiero
in honor of Mr. Todgilt. the mission
ary from Janan, whose motive in
returning to this country was partly
to get himself a wife.
Miss Mlxou was in the midst of a
delightful revery, when a hoarse
cough suddenly interrupted her
A neatly dressed individual, with a
round face and baldlicud, wits bowing
in the doorway.
“The chromo wan," she exclaimed,
half to herself.
“Madam,” lie began.
“No. I don't want anything'. Go
away!” she cried, angrily, stamping
her foot
“I beg your pardon, madam, but—”
Miss Mixon bethought herself of a
ruse.
“Here, Bose! Bose!" she called,
whistling to an Imaginary dog. “If
you do not leave at once I will sot my
dog on you!”
And then, fancying that she still
discorncd in the intruder's dilatory
air an intention of remaining to dis
pute the point, she caught upa broom
that fortunately hung in tlio corner
and made toward the front door in
such a resolnte manner that the
chroino man turned and tied.
“There!” said Miss Mixon,' aloud, as
•he saw him hurry through the gar
den gate without even stopping to
latch it behind him. “I only wish
Mrs. Poppleton could have been hero
to see how promptly I disposed of
him.”
She went over that afternoon to
Mra Bruce's, who livod in the next
farm-house, to get her to make but
tonholes in the new dress. •,
“Bid the chromo man come here?”
said she.
“To-day?" asked Mrs. Bruce.
“Yea"
“No, I haven't soon any chromo
man."
“I guess I frightened him out of tho
neighborhood,” chuckled Miss Mixon.
“He was beginning Ids importunities
when I went at him with the broom
and chased him out of tho hou«e.”
Mrs. Bruce laughed heartily at the
idea of her sparrow-iiko little neigh
bor frightening any one bv such man
ifestations as she had described.
“But I’ll tell you who I have seen,"
said she. “Mr. Todgilt stopped here
to inquire the way to the parsonage."
"Dear me, did ho?" said Miss Mixon,
with great interest.
“And I .gave him a glass of mv
gooseberry wine and a sliee of cake,"
added Mrs. Bruce.
“Entertaining, angola unawares,"
sighed Miss Mixon. “Oh. how I wish
it had been me! Do tell me bow be
looks. Is he tall?"
“No, not quite w’hat you would call
a tall man," said Mrs. Brueo, “and I
think he Is elderly, and he doesn't
dress much. But ho is a dear, godly
man, with a fine flow of language."
“I will meet him at the parsonage
to-morrow," said Miss Mixon, com
placently.
"How I envy you." said Mrs. Bruce.
Miss Mixon, dressed all in her best,
wont to the parsonage the next day,
and Mra Hall, the parson's wife,
came running to meet her.
“My dear Martha.” she said, “I was
so afrqid you were not coming. He's
here! Sueli a dear man! Come right
into the parlor. Mr. Todgilt, lot me
present you to Miss Mixon. Miss
Mlxop, this is Mr. Todgilt, from
Japan."
Mr. Todgllt’s bow cheeked it elf
hal f way in a stare of astonishment.
“As-ton-ish-ing!" said ho.
Miss Mixon turned very red.
“Well, I do declare!" she faltered.
For in Miss Mixon, the lady who
had been especially recommended to
him as a saintly and appropriate help
mate the missionary beheld the very
female who had ignominiously pur
sued him from her door with a broom
when, the ' previous day, ho had
stopped to ask directions as to the
right road. And in Mr. Todgilt Mar
tha saw the personage she had re
pelled as the obnoxious chromo man.
“I’m sure I beg your pardon," said
she, “but I mistook you for some
body else."
The missionary burst out laughing.
“No harm done," said he; “no harm
done."
And fortunately he snoko tho truth.
Miss Mixon's genuine good sense aDd
good feeling soon effaced the disa
greeable first impression which she
knew her broom had made. And Mr.
Todgilt's second call was longer than
his first
To make a long story short, Mr.
Todgilt married Martha Mixon, and
to this day in Americo-Japanesc
circles, the good missionary's sides
will shake as he tells how, on his first
meeting with his wife, she pursued
him ofT the field of Cupid with a
broom.
“Wasn't I a brave man to take her
after that?"
And Mra Todgilt only smiles and
tays:
“Jeremiah, how can you?”

A missionary stationed at one ot the
;■ South sea islands determined to give
his residence a coat of whitewash.
To obtain this in the absence of limo
coral was reduced to powder by burn

them to eat. Next morning they be

Professor Heinrich Burgsch, of tho
university of Berlin, tho most dis
tinguished of living’ egyptologUts,
is publishing "My Life and Wander
ings," which are interesting, not
only on account of tho revolution of
the author’s personality and the rora
iniseoncos of celebrated scientists of
tho earlier half of this century, which
they contain, but also by the anec
dotes which tho great savant has a
happy faculty of relating. One of
them quoted by tho Philadelphia
Lodger, ma/ furnish a hint to some
of our own "globe trotters." On
Professor Burgsch’s first visit to Al
exandria he lodged with an origon
ol by tho name of Bauornhorst, by
birth a Mecklonburger, and a man
°1 gigantic strength and stature, who
combinod tho office of Prussian vice
consul with the conduct of a wine
shop. Ho was generally known by
tho sobriguetof "Father Langfold.”
Ho rendered important service in
many ways and Professor Brugsch
made him promise that if ever ho
came to Berlin again ho would visit
him.
h'ovoral years afterward Father
Langfeld appeared one morning at
the professor's rooms in Berlin.
Aftor tho customary greetings Pro
fessor Burgsch inquired:
"Whoro are you staying, Father
Langfeld”
"Here, below."
"What! In the same house with
mo? That’s a curious coincidence.”
“Not at all. In a cab.”
“Ah, you have just come from the
station and are looking for a hotel P"
"On tho contrary; lived in the
cab since yosterday.”
"What in tho name of common
l sense do you mean? And your lug
gago?”
"Carry it with me," and with his
right hand he patted a small bag
slung on his shoulder by a green
strap. "Hero are brush, comb, soap
and money.”
••But please explain yourself more
clearly; I don’t understand at all.”
“Not much to explain. Live day
and night in tho cab; sleep perhaps
a couple of hours in the stablo,
covered with a horse blanket Sum
mer you know! Cabman shows me
everything worth seeing—intelligent
follow—spares me tho expense of a

see everything, hear • everything,
know everything. Cab stops, I get
out, receive instructions, and ex

If I ncod linen or anything, buy it;
cabman gets all that I cast off. Quite
content No extra luggage to pay
for, no hptol bill, no tips, no bundles,
no questions; everything all right
Stay threo days longer. Now, Herr
Doctor, put on your coat and vfsit me
in my hotel. Lot the cabman drive
us whither ho will. Very convenient!”
lather Langfeld had already
"done” Trieste, Vienna and Prague
in the same fashion, and firmly be
lievod it was the only way to see the
world. Ho subsequently applied his
system with equal success to Paris
and London. It has merits; whether
they are or not counterbalanced by
its disadvantages each individual
must determine for himselt.
A False I'ropliet in Jamaica*
. A false prophet has arisen on the
islund of Jamaica Ho teaches that
God has given him power to make a
now Betbcsda of a small river on tho
island. Every Wednesday he stands
on a rock in the. stream and blesses
the waters, whigfh are then supposed
to have the power of healing any
disease. The natives are crazy in
the fanatic belief in the new prophet
and 20,030 pilgrims a day bathe in
the waters. It is feared that a pes

government is unable to control tho
converts.
A Vindication of the Bloodhound.
There Is a mistaken Impression in
regard to the nature of the blood
hound. Most people imagino this
species of canine to be very ferocious,
when, on the contrary, tho dogs are
as docile as most any other breed
known. While they are very keen
of scent, nowhere in their history
have they made a record for ferocity.
Tho pointer inherits his nose from
the bloodhound and his other quali
ties from the bulldog.

Another Kind of Medusa*
Most people have hoard of the
Gorgon Medusa, a sight of whose face
and snaky locks turned men to stone,
but comparatively few inlanders
know anything of a fish of the same
name which is often seen along the
sea coast. It is shaped like a mush
room, except the stem is divided into
a number of snaky tentacles, covered
by thousands of suckers. Tho body
of the medusa is somtimes quite
small, and sometimes a yard in
diameter. Sometimes it is clear as
crystal, and sometimes beautifully
colored, but so fragile that when
washed ashore it melts in the sun
almost like a soap bubble. During
thoir life these creatures swim along
the surface of the sea in vast num
bers, but when anything touches
them they fold themselves like um
brellas and sink out of sight. The
tentacles are so poisonous that the
strongest men become paralyzed
when touched by them, and it is be
lieved that m&ny so called drowning
accidents are due to their attacks.
A N«w Unit in Thibet.
A traveler in the Himalayan moun
tain region has discovered that the
natives of thut country cultivate a
grain hitherto unknown in civilized
agricultural operations, which has
something the look of wheat but has
very much longer ears, and which
has a peculiar inward curve. The
shiny, brown grain, unlike wheat.
Is, on the other hand, much smaller
than wheat grains should be for so
large an ear. But the interest is
that a cereal of this character should
yield such heavy crops in so high an
altitude, where the soasons are neces
sarily short and the temperature
low. The natives call the grain
kownee. _
Artillery Daring the Crusades.
“One of my ancestors won a battle

discovered. ” “I know that as well
as you.do, and so did my ancestor. ”
“How did he win the battle then?”

It was the boast of many early set
tlers of Kansas that the soil was so
rich that manure was an actual in
jury to it. making crops grow too
rank, writes Professor 8. C. Mason
in the Industrialist. If we may
judg& by the care which some farm
ers take to keep manure from their
land, that Opinion must still prevail
in the state. Not only do we see
manure left in the yards to leach
and waste, often for several years,
before any attempt is made to haul
it on the Holds, but the location of
the yard is oft.cn on the bank oi some
ravine or stream so that the drainage
and wash from the stables and ma
nure piles is at once carried away by
rains and the land' deprived of even
this chance of getting back a part of
what has been taken from it
In feed lots whore large numbers
of cattle and hogs are fattened,
manure of the most valuable quality
is produced, because of tho highly
concentrated nature of the food con
sumed; yet these yards, for conven
ience in keeping them clean and be
cause of the better shelter afforded,
are oftenest located on a bank where
all of the valuable fertilizing mate
rial produced is swept away. If we
add to such waste the burning over
of stubble fields that a furrow may
be turned for the next wheat crop
and the burning of straw-stacks as
soon as the thrasher is clear of them,
we will only make a beginning at
summing up the sins which the
average farmer is guilty of against
the soil he belioves to be proof
against exhaustion.
Ono great source of waste occurs
in nearly every town in the state
from tho hauling of manure from
public and private stables to some
common "dumping ground" either on
the river bank where tho next high
water washes it away or to some va
cant tract where H either remains to
become a nuisance or is occasionally
burned. The sandy soil of tho bot
tom lands near the rivers, when
heavily manured, affords tho very
best trucker’s soil, and a few market
gardoners are taking advantage of
such, opportunities. So far there is
still a great opportunity to utilize
what is wasted. While the supply of
vegetables is usually equal to the de
mand, small fruits as a rule are
scarce, except in the very Eastern
counties, and much greater area
might be grown with profit. Large
quantities of vegetables might be
raised and canned to the exclusion of
canned goods from other states. Can
ning establishments conducted on bus
iness principles and not as a “boom”
have proved a success in a num
ber of localities, and have contrib
uted greatly to the prosperity of
their communities. With the estab
lishment of many more, the industry
of vegetable and small-fruit garden
ing could be greatly extended, and
the waste of stable manure from our
towns become a thing of the past.
Seed farming, or the raising of veg
etable seeds under contract with
large seed houses in the East, has
proved a source of profit to a num
ber of growers.and is a business that
is capable of great extension. Where
land can be rented at reasonable
rates and plenty of manure secured
for the hauling, n business of this
kind might be built up that would
give a handsome return.
If farmers and gardeners alike
will learn in advance the lessons
which are the very elements of agri
oulture in the Eastern states, the
fertility of Kansas soils may be pre
served from exhaustion. At present
much of our larming is but drawing
upon the capital which should be the
Inheritance of future generations.
Cream In the Kitchen.
On manr farms where the dairy is
not made a prominent feature it is a
matter of some difficulty to handle
the milk and cream during the win
ter months. While we believe that
dairying is the most. profitable in
dustry on the farm at present, and
that it will continue to be so if man
agea in a cnorougbiy Intelligent man*
ner, yet we realize that thousands of
our readers are so Bituated that they
do not .care to make a specialty of
dairy work, although they milk
enough cows to furnish milk, cream
and buttor for their own tables. Be
oanse a man Is Interested in some
subject only in a small way is no rea
son why he should not study that
subject, and the farmer who makes
only a few pounds per week ought to
make it according to the most im
proved methods For lack of a bet
ter place much of the milk and oream
is kept in the kitchen during the
summer. Under such conditions it
1* impossible to get the greatest
amount of fat out of the skim j
milk, and impossible to make butter j
of the best quality. It is well known i
that cream readily absorbs odors, |
good and bed, and if kept in such a j
place as the farm kitchen, it will I
become in odor like Joseph’s coat in
cOior. Nor is this the only trouble.
In order to get all the fat out of the
butter milk the cream must be ripen
ed evenly. To ripen evenly it must
be kept at an even temperature; it
is impossible to secure the latter in |
the farm kitchen. So, whether the
amount of butter' is large or 6mall,
we strongly advise against keeping
either the milk or cream in the
-kitchen. Keep it in a room where
the air is pure and the temperature
low. Neither milk or cream should

Cheapest Ration for Poultry.
A few weeks ago the Rural Net
Yorker sent out the following list o
questions to parties who have beei
feeding raw cut bone to fowls:
1. Do you still consider cut bom
an economical food for poultry?
2. How do you feed it—mixed witl
other food or alone—and how mucl
per 100 hens?
3. Have you ever tried steaming oi
cooking it after cutting?
4. Have you ever fed it to othei
animals besides poultry?
6. What do raw bones cost you
and is it possible to develop a trade
for the sale of this product?
6. What do you consider the cheap'
est ration yon can get up for youi
uens.
Several answers were received.
All responded in the affirmative t(
the first question. All, except one
or two, make a practice of feeding
either alone or mixed with othei
food. The general opinion concern
ing the.third question was that it
was unnecessary to cook or steam
and that practice had not been fol
lowed. One man cooked it in sum
mer time because it would not keep
raw.
In reply to the fourth question
only one answer in the affirmative.
He feeds it to.his pigs and says they
do well on it. Another man thoughi
it wou'd be a goodfeed for dogs. The
price paid ranged all the way from
40 to 75 cents per hundred pounds.
In reply to tho sixth question one
man said that the cheapest food he
has found for hens for the produc
tion of eggs is cut bone. Another's
plan was to feed whole wheat at
noon and cracked corn and oats at
night. Barley two or three times a
week for a change, he thought good.
A Now York poultryman said that
the cheapest ration is oats in the
bundle cut fine with a straw
cutter for winter feed. In
summer let them go to grass.
A Pennsylvania duck raiser said
that feed should consist of fifteen per
cent green bone, twenty per cent
bran, twenty per cent No. 2 flour,
fifteen per cent crackers, thirty per
cent corn meal. To this should be
! added green food of some kind, such
p,s corn, rye, etc., or clover hay cut
fine and steamed for some time in
quantities equal to the ration first
given. Another answer was: Fresh
cut raw bone, oats, corn meal, wheat
bran and middlings, whole wheat,
corn in ear and buckwheat varied for
a change. ' A Massachusetts man
said he considered bran, middling
and corn meal the cheapest ration
for fowls or hens. One part meal to
two parts bran and middlings. An
other feeds wheat boiled with beef
heads in the morning, and dry wheat
in the evening. Another preferred
to feed cooked cut bone, bran, meal
and potatoes in the morning, wet, a
little green bone at noon and mixed
grain at night.
Notes for Beekeepers.
Pine is much the best wood for
bee hives.
If honey is heated too much its
flavor will be destroyed.
Comb honey will often have a blue
or mouldy color in cold weather. '
Unite all weak colonies that will
be unable to build into strong stocks.
Bees secrete wax only when neces
sary to make storage for honey or
brood.
To increase the stock of bees as
much as possible manage to have a
surplus of queens as early as possi
ble.
. An oversupply of drones is objec
tionable.' as they consume honey and
do not lay up any stores. The num
ber can be controlled by using worker
comh.
As with many other kinds of work
it requires experience to manage a
large number of bees properly. A
beginner without experience should
start on a small scale.
One'advantage with closed end
frames is that a hive may be handled
as though it was a single piece and
oue is not obliged to stop and space
the frames every time the hive is
handled.
llouftcho’d' Helps.
If through any blunder in cleaning
a fowl the gall or other entrails are
burst the taint which affects the
meat may be easily removed by soak
ing for half an hour in cold water in
which a little soda has been dis
solved.
One can test a cake’s baking by
drawing it to the edge of the oven
and listening for the faint, sputter
ing sound which will continue until
it is ready to take out This is a
better trial than the broom splinter
thrust into the dough.
A spoonful of chloride of lime in a
quart of water will remove mildew
from linen. Strain the solution after
it has stood long enough to thor
oughly dissolve, and dip the cloth
into it Repeat if a first application
is not sufficient, but wash the mix
ture well out of tho goods, when
your object is accomplished.
A warm loot bath, with an ounce
of sea salt, is almost as restful as a

cools, dry with a rough towel, put on
fresh stockings, have a change of

in ten minutes. Another tonic for
