INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION CHAPTER I. • T is always a thankless office to give advice in these matters,” said Mrs. Charles Romaine, discreetly. "Your brother and I have decided not to at tempt to influence you in any way, Constance; not to bias your judgment m favor of or against Mr. Withers. You, as the one most nearly Interested In the consequences of your acceptance or refusal of his offer, should surely be able to make up your mind how to treat it and him.” "I should be, as you say,” responded the sister-in-law. “But I cannot.” She was a handsome woman, In the prime of early maturity, whoso face seldom wore, in the presence of others, the perturbed expression that now be gloomed it. “That docs not afreet the fact of your duty,” answered Mrs. Romaine, with considerable severity. "There are times and circumstances In which vacillation is folly—criminal weakness. You have known Mr. Withers long enough to form a correct estimate of his charac ter. In means and In reputation he is all that could be desired, your brother says. Either you like him well enough to marry him, or you do not. Your sit uation in life will be bettered by an alliance with him, or it will not. These arc the questions for your considera tion. And excuse mo for saying that a wofnan of your age should not'be at a loss in weighing these.” • Again Constanco had nothing ready except a weak phrase of reluctant ac quiescence. "I feel the weight of your reasoning, Margaret. You cannot de spise me more than I do myself for my childish hesitancy. Mr. Withers—any sensiblo and honorable man deserves different treatment. If I could see the way, clear before me I would walk in it. But, indeed, I am in a sore dilem ma.” She turned away, as her voice shook on the last sentence, and affect ed to be busy with some papers upon a stand. Mrs. Romaine was just In all her dealings with her husband's sl3ter, and meant, in her way, to bo kind. Con stance respected her for her excellent sense, her honesty of purpose and ac tion—but she was the last of her friends whom she would have select ed, of her free will, as the confidante of such joys and sorrows as shrink from the touch or hard natures—refuse to be confessed to unsympathizing ear3. Her heart and eyes were vbry full now, but she would strangle sooner than drop a tear while those cold, light orbs were upon her. , In consideration of the weakness and ridiculous sensitiveness of her compan ion, Mrs. Romaine forbore to speak the disdain she felt at the Irresolution and distress she could not Comprehend. "I3 Mr. Withers personally disagreeable to you?” she demanded, in her strong con tralto voice. i “I liked him tolerably well—very well, in fact, until he told mo what brought him here so regularly,” Con stance stammered. “Now I am embar rassed in his presence—so uneasy that I wish sometimes I could never see or hear of him again.” "Mere stfiyness!” said Mrs. Romaine. Such as would be pardonable in a girl of seventeen. In a woman Of soveu and-twenty it is absurd. Mr. Withers is highly esteemed by all who know bim|' Your disrelish of his society is caprice, unless”—the marble gray eyes mori> searching—“unless you have a prior, attachment?” Constance smiled drearily. “I havt never been in love in my life,, that l know of.” , "You are none the worse for having escaped an infatuation that has wreck ed more'women for time and for eter nity than all other delusions combined. A rational marriage—founded upon tnutdal esteem and the belief that the social and moral condition of the par ties to the contract would be promot ed thereby—is the only safe union. Tho . young, inexperienced and headstrong, repudiate this principle. The mature in age know it to be true. But, as l have staid, it is not my intention to di rect your Judgment. This is a momen tous era in your life. I can. only hope apd pray that you may be guided aright Jn your decision." Left to herself to digest this niorsol of pious eneouragement, Constance drew a low seat to the hearth regis ter, clasped her hands upon her knees, ant^, tried, for the hundredth time that day, tb weigh the facts of her position fairjy and impartially. Sue, had been an orphan for eight yeajb, and a resident in the house of heMslder brother. Her senior by more than a dozen years, and in the excit ing swing of successful mercantile life, be had little leisure for the study of bis sister's tastes and traits, when she first* became his ward, and conceived “the fask to be an unnecessary one, now that she was to be a fixture in his fam ily* and appeared to get on smoothly wi^h his wife. In truth, it never oc curred to him to lay a disturbing finger upeff the tiniest wheel of the domestic machinery. His respect for his spouse’s executive and administrative abilities was exceeded only by her confidence in her own powers. She wa3 never irasci ble, but he knew that she would have borne down calmly and energticalij any attempt at interference in her op orations as minister of the interlor the ruler of the establishment he, by ; much-abused figure of speech, callei his home. A snug and elegant abodi she made of It, and, beholding Con stance well dressed and well fed, habit ually cheerful and never rebellious, hi may be forgiven for not spending t thought upon her for hours together and when he did remember her, foi dwelling the rather upon his disin terested kindness to a helpless depend ent than speculating upon her possible and unappeased spiritual appetites. For these, and for other whimsies Mrs. Romaine had little thought and nc charity. Life, with her, was a fabric made up of duties, various and many, but all double-twisted into hempen strength and woven too closely for a shine of fancy or romance to strike through. She had coincided readily in her hus band's plan to take charge of his young sister when her parents died. “Her brother's house is the fittest asylum for her,” she had said. “I shall do my best to render her comfortable and con tented.” She kept her word. Constance’s ward robe was ample and handsome, her room elegantly furnished, and she en tered society under the chaperonage of her sister-in-law. The servants were trained to respect her; the children to regard her as their elder sister. What more could a penniless orphan require? Mrs. Romaine was not afraid to ask the question of her conscience and of heaven. Her “best” was no empty pro fession. It was lucky for her self-com placency that she never suspected what years of barrenness and longing these eight were to her protege. Constance was not a genius—there fore she never breathed even to her self: “I feel like a seed in the cold earth, quickening at heart, and longing for the air.” Her temperament was not melancholic, nor did her taste run after poetry and martyrdom. She was simply a young, pretty and moderately well-educated woman, too sensible not to perceive that her temporal needs were conscientiously supplied, and too affectionate to be satisfied with the meager allowance of nourishment dealt out for her heart and sympathies. While the memory of her father’s proud affection and her mother’s caresses was fresh upon her she had long and frequent spells of lonely weeping—was wont to resign herself in the seclusion of her chamber to passionate lamenta tions over her orphanage and isola tion of spirit. Routine was Mrs. Ro maine’s watchword, and in bodily ex ercise Constance conformed to her quiet despotism—visited, studied, worked and took recreation by rule. The system wrought upon her benefi cially go far as her physique was con cerned. She grew from a slender, pale girl, into ripe and healthy womanhood; was more comely at twenty-seven than at twenty-one. CHAPTER II. ikV ^T all this time she was an hungered. She ■ would cheer fully have refund ed to her brother two-thirds of her liberal allowance of pocfcet money If he hnd granted to her with Its quarter^ payment a sentence of fraternal fond ness, a token, verbal or looked, that he rememberod whose child she was, and that the same toother love had guard ed their Infancy. Her sister-in-law would have been welcome to withhold many of her gifts of wearing apparel and Jewelry had she bethought herself now and then how gratefuly kisses fall upon young lips, and that youthful heads are often sadly weary for the lack of a friendly shoulder, or a loving bosom, on which to rest. She did not accuse her relatives of willful unkind ness because these were withheld. They Interchanged no such unremuneratlve demonstrations among themselves. Husband and wife were courteous in their demeanor, the one to the other; their children were demure models ol filial duty at home and industry at school; the training in both places be ing severe enough to quench what fee ble glimmer of individuality may have been born with the offspring. of the methodical and practical parents. Con stance found them extremely uninter esting, notwithstanding the natural love tor children which led her to couri their companionship during the earliei weeks of her domestication in theii house. It was next to a miracle thai she did not stiffen in this atmosphere into a ouckram image of feminine pro priety—a prodigy of starch and virtue, such as would have brought calm de light to the well-regulated mind of her exemplar, and effectually chased all thoughts of matrimony from those of masculine beholders. Had her discon tent with her allotted sphere been less active, the result would have been cer tain and deplorable. She was, instead, popular among her acquaintances of both sexes, and had many friends, if few lovers. This latter deficiency had given her no concern until within two years. At twenty-five she opened her eyes in wide amaze upon the thinning ranks of her virgin associates, and be gan seriously to ponder the causes that had left her unsought, save by two very silly and utterly ineligible swains, whose overtures were, in her esteem, pre sumption that was only too ridiculous to bo insulting. Her quick wit and knowledge of the world helped her tc a solution of the problem. “I am poor and dependent upon my brother’s char ity,” she concluded, with a new and stifling uprising of dissatisfaction with her condition. “Men rarely fall in love with such—more rarely woo them." She never spoke the thought aloud, but it grew and strengthened until it re ceived a startling blow from Mr. With | ers’ proposal of marriage. He was a wealthy banker from a ’ neighboring city, whom business rela tions with Mr. Romalne drew to his house and into his sister’s company. ! His courtship was all Mrs. Romaine 1 could desire. His visits were not too ; frequent, and were paid at stated inter vals, as befitted his habits of order and punctuality. His manner to the lady honored by his preference was replete with stately respect that was the an tipodes of servile devotion, while his partiality for her society, and admira tion for her person, were unmistakable. He paid his addresses through Mr. Ro maine as his fair one’s guardian, offer ing voluntarily to give his beloved whatever time for deliberation upon the proposal she desired. “You had better think it over for a week,” advised her brother, when he had laid the case duly before Con stance. “It is too serious a matter to be settled out of hand.” After that, neither he nor his wife obtruded their counsel upon her until the afternoon of the seventh day. Then Mrs. Romaine, going to her sister’s chamber to communicate the substance of a telegram just received by her hus band 'to the elTect that Mr. Withers would call that evening at 8 o’clock, was moved to grave remonstrance by the discovery that she whom he came to woo had no answer prepared for him. Constance was no nearer ready after the conversation before recorded. “I cannot afford to be romantic,” she had reminded herself several times. “And who knows but this'irrak tional repugnance may pass away -whan I have once made up my mind to' ac cept him? This may be—in all likeli hood it is—my last chance of achiev ing an independent position. It h,a» been a long time coming, and my charms will be on the wane soon. True, a marriage with Elnathan Withers Is not the destiny of which I Have dream ed, but then dreams are but foolish va garies after all. Life in real and ear nest.” ITO TIB COXTIXCSD.I A ZOOLOGICAL DIVERSION. Ah Elephant That Cied to Play a Clever Trlelc on Visitor*. ' i The elephant at the Jardin (lea Plantes, at Paris, used to play his vis itors a trick, which could not have been thought of but by an animal of much Intelligence. His house opened upon an inclosure called the Elephant's park, containing a pond, in which he would lay himself under the water, concealing every part of him except the very end of his trunk—a mere speck tluA would hardly be noticed by a stranger to the animal's habits. A crowd would assemble around the inclosure, and, not seeing him in it, would watch in expectation that he would soon issue from the house. But, while they were gazing about, a co pious sprinkling of water would fall upon them, and ladies and gentlemen, with their fine bonnets and coats, would run for shelter under the trees, looking up at the clear sky and wonder ing whence such a shower could come. Immediately afterward, however, they would see the elephant rising from his bath, evincing, as it seemed, an awkward joy at the trick that he had played. In the course of time his amusement became generally known, and the moment the water began to rise from his trunk the spectators would take flight, at which he appeared exceedingly delighted, getting up ns fast as he could to see the bust.le he had caused.—Pittsburg Dispatch. USES OF ICE WATER. tn Iletlth It Should Mot Be Used for Krlnhlns Porposes. In health no one ought to drink ice vater, for it has occasioned fatal in ’ammalion of the stomach and bow :1s, and sometimes sudden death. The lemptation to drink it is very great in the summer. To use it at all with safety the person should take but a jingle swallow at the time, take the 'lass from thf lips for half a minute, ind then another swallow, and so on. it will be found that in this way it be comes disagreeable after a few mouth fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may be taken as freely as possible, not only without injury, but with the most strik ing advantage in dangerous forms of disease. If broken in sizes or a* pea or bean and swallowed as freely as prac ticable, without much chewing or crunching between the teeth, it wilj often be efficient in checking various kinds of diarrhea^ and has cured vlo-; lent cases of Asiatic cholera. A kind of cushion of powdered ice kept to the entire scalp has allayed violent inflam mation of the brain, and arrested tear ful convulsions induced by too much blood there. In croup, water as cold as ice can make it, applied freely to the throat, neck and chest with a sponge or cloth, very often affords an almost miraculous relief, and if this be fol lowed by drinking copiously of the same ice-cold element, the wetted parts wiped dry, and the child wrapped up well in the bed clothes, it falls into a delightful and life-giving slumber.— New York Ledger.

How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Uinta as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. WISCONSIN ex periment station agricultural report says: An effort was made at the close of each of the per iods of the experi ment to ascertain whether the cows, of their own choice, would takewater at one temperature m prererence to tnatoi another. The trial was made by tak ing two pails of water, one at the tem perature of 32 degrees F., and the other at 70 degrees F„ and placing before the cow, first the water, whose tem perature was that which she had been taking during the period just closed. After allowing her to swallow two or three times this pall was replaced by the other and after she had tasted It the two were placed side by side be ' fore her. The results were these: Gov.’s Heifer, whether she had been on warm water or on cold. Invariably chose the Iced water in preference to the warm, and so strong were her preferences that she tried to get water from the barnyard on one day when the snow was melting. It must be noted, however, that this cow gave most milk and solids on the water whose temperature she disliked. The other cows always preferred the water at 70 degrees to that at 32 degrees, but if they were just going off a cold water period they would usually drink in differently from either pail until thirst was partly slacked, after which they would always refuse the iced water. The cows going off water at 70 degrees would always refuse the water at 32 degrees. The cows’ preferences for water at the ordinary temperature of water in the well, as compared with that for water at 32 degrees and 70 degrees, were also tested with the re sult that, except Gov. Heifer, the water at 70 degrees was chosen by all the cows at the close of the second period. On the 26th of March, as the cows were taken off the experiment and when the temperature of the air was 48.7 degrees F., the cows were offered their choice between water at 32 de grees and 43 degrees and between 70 degrees and 95 degrees. On this trial Rose drank indifferently of water at 95 and 70 degrees, Dollie showed a slight preference for water at 70 de grees over that at 95 degrees, and Jes sie refused the 95 degrees and took 13 degrees in preference to 70 de grees. These three cows had been taking water at 32 degrees. Emma, Queen, and Gov. Heifer, which had been taking water at 70 degrees during the last period disliked the water at 95 degrees. When water at 43 degrees and 70 degrees were set before Emma she drank first from the coldest but returned to the warmest. Queen took water at both 43 and 32 degrees, show ing a preference for that at 43 degrees, but when water at 70 degrees was of fered her she took that at 32 degrees instead. Gov. Heifer manifested a slight preference for water at 43 de grees instead of that at 32 degrees. Using the cows’ preferences as a basis for Judgment they appear to indicate that, in the majority of cases during cold weather, cows would prefer water at 70 degrees to that at 32 or 43 degrees, but some like it best at 32 degrees. When the weather becomes warmer and reaches 48 to 50 degrees F., their preferences for water at 70 degrees are less strong, and at such times only exceptional cows, if any, would choose water at 95 degrees F. The fact that two of the cows which had been taking cold water during the last period chose warm water instead, and that the three cows which had been taking warm water either preferred cold to warm, or showed but slight preference for it, suggests that even should it be finally settled that it pays to warm water for cows in winter, it may also be .desira ble to have cold water where the cows can have it for a change. There is another set of facts which may be presented as indicating both a preference on the part of the cows for water at 70 degrees F. over that at 32 degrees and a possible advantage to be derived from a change of tem peratures. They are these: If we de termine the average amount of water drank daily by each cow during the first five days of each period and com pare these with the averages of the last five days of each period we shsll find that while the cows were on cold water they took on the average nearly five pounds more water each, daily, during the first five days than they did during the last five days; while when on warm water the average for both sets of days is sensibly the same, suggesting that these cows tired sooner of the water at 32 degrees than of that at 70 degrees F. Successful Feeders. We have never been able to enume rate all the qualities that are necessary to make a successful feeder. At first sight It would appear that to give cattle sufficient food for a long time enough to make them fat should be simple enough, but as a matter of fact more than this is required, and few men make a steady and uniform success of it, says Colman’s Rural World. There are, however, men who almost always make money at it. The reason Is that few men are good judges of cattle, which is the main point. During these last few years It has been necessary to make cattle very thoroughly ma tured and finished to get anything like a respectable price. In fact, It is a hardship for feeder* to be put to the expense of these finish ing touches, for it' costs a great deal and it seems to us that several dollars a head are often wasted for the sake oi looks. The appearance of the cattle on the market, their uniformity of size and condition, cuts a great figure. Ani mals of fine quality showing plainly the points of the great breeds sell eas ily at the top, while what the sitock yards people call old-fashioned cattle, short of body and with upright horns., are habitually murdered on the mar ket even when very fat. These old fashioned cattle, the common natives, do not dress well, and certainly are not attractive to look at; and it is in this that the westerns have an ad vantage, for they kill exceedingly well and yield a greater proportion of eat able flesh. Heavy Hones. A Michigan correspondent of Coun try Gentleman, and formerly an advo cate for medium weight horses, writes as follows: About fire years ago 1 bought a team of heavy horses, weight about 1,500 pounds each, more because I could not find what I wanted in light er weights than from any good judg ment of my own. I had not had the team a week before their superiority over the other teams on the farm was proved. They moved off with a plow with much less fatigue. They drew heavy loads with far greater ease—in fact, they were masters of the situation wherever put at work. I found that it took no more to keep them than the lighter horses, unless it may be that they consume a little more hay. for they ‘ receive the same grain ration as the others. And as for road work, we do not need to put the farm horses be fore a carriage, and when it comes to taking loads to town they walk faster than the others, besides hauling con siderably more at a load. So great was the change in my opinion on the sub ject of heavy horses for farm work that I have since bought another team of the same kind. These two teams do the hardest, heaviest work on the farm at all times, all the heavy plowing, which it would require three lighter horses to manage. For certain kinds of work the smaller horses are all right. For cultivating, mowing, light dragging and certain other things on any farm they answer every purpose, or to the small farmer who has not work enough at any time of the year to hurry him. He can take his time and not rush things as they have to be rushed on a large farm, but when it comes to a big day’s work on disk harrow or plow, -or where great strength is required, give me the heavy horses every time. A heavy horse is not necessarily a slow one, nor need he be an awkward one. A horse oi heavy weight should not be so fat as to be a burden to himself either, but in good, fair condition, with no pro truding bones. More grain and less hay should be the rule on most farms. Where the farming is extensive enough to warrant keeping two teams let one of them be heavy. They will take all the heavier work off the smaller team, and these may be used for light roatf work when required. Ekrb on Exhibition. At the Illinois state fair last week different breeds of fowls. They were ' of interest to all poultry scientists and others engaged in the study of poul try subjects. There were great dif ferences apparent in the shape, size and color of the eggs of different; breeds. Probably we have not yet reached the point where the form and ■ color of the egg cuts much of a figure j in the eye of the public, but that such a time is coming is apparent. Such ex hibitions are commendable, as they present an obj&ct lesson easy to under stand. A close inspection of the eggs showed that the biggest fowls did not j lay the biggest eggs. This is import- j ant. There is an impression that the larger the hen the larger the egg. The there were on exhibition eggs of the idea is not correct. It is not the large cow that gives the most milk, neither is it the largest hen that lays the large egg. It was noticeable that the eggs of the White Leghorn were larger than some of the eggs of the larger breeds. : When we consider how many more eggs a Leghorn hen will lay man the others ; and how much less it costs to feed her, the extra profit is apparent. The egg producing hen is as much a special pur pose creation as the special butter mak ing cow. It has been said upon good authority that scarcely a commercial seed is en tirely free from foreign admixture, owing either to accident or design. The practice of adulterating clover seed with fine stones and sand is common in Franco at the present time. In one sample from that country examined last year was found 9.69 per cent of artificially colored yellow quartz stones, and 13.26 per cent of uncolored brown ish' sand. Similar instances have been reported recently from two of our American experiment stations. Some years ago a firm was discovered in Bohemia which was engaged in supply ing seed dealers with both colored and uncolored quartz sand for purposes of adulteration, at prices ranging from $1 to $2 per hundredweight. Good Butter.—Good butter will sell itself at a good price and' will bo sought after, while poor butter is slow sale at any price and is avoided. Here in lies the turning point between suc cess and failure in the dairy business. As the beautiful picture is the ideal of the artist; as the powerful engine is the crowning work of the machinist; so, butter is the highest achievement of the dairyman, and like all produc tions of the skilled workman when it goes into the hands of the user it should be as near perfection as possi ble. It is estimated that 612,000 sheep were killed bv does last year. Texas. In the agricultural line, Texas leads all other states in the variety of its products. Cotton, corn, and the cereals grow and are raised in every section of the state and in the central and south ern portions sugar cane and sorghum cane are profitably cultivated. On the Gulf Coast two or three crops of veg etables are raised each year. Berries are shipped six weeks in advance of the home crop in the north. Pears, peaches, plums, oranges, figs, olives, and nuts all grow abundantly aDd can be marketed from two to three weeks in advance of the California crops. Large quantities of rice are now grown. If the land seeker, the home seeker, and the settler desires to secure a farm larger than the one he occupies, on vastly more reasonable terms; if he wants more land to cultivate, a greater variety of crops to harvest, with pro portionately increased remuneration, at a less outlay for cost of production; if he wants an earlier season, with correspondingly higher prices; if be wants milder winter, all the year pas turage for his stock, improved health, increased bodily cpmforts and wealth and prosperity he should go to Texas.
