    THE KING WITH .TWO LJOSS.
Continued from First rage."
Pertlia was mistress of be own fortune, but
it was evident that she would have fortune
too from these Jadk-s. Ainslie found out all
this before we had been at St-hlot-s Eider
stein half a day.
The youris lWon nnd I went ofT for the
wild boar, but Ainslie walked, drove and
sentimentalized with Bertha. She was a
true German eirl, and liked to plav with her
emotions. The handsome American, with
his black eyes and his knowledge of Goethe,
became a (Trent favorite, 'and suddenly took
up troinp to church with the maiden aunts
and Bertha; and for a Protestant clcriry
man, engaged to a young lady in the British
provinces, showed preat liberality, both in
love and in religion.
So I was not astonished, when the time
came for me to leave, that Ainslie could not
fro with mc. There were still eastles to see
and excursions to make which he felt it his
dutv to experience. Bertha's blue eye
looked more brilliantly blue at this sugges
tion. It was evident she had never heard of
the young lady in the British provinces.
She read me a letter from Mary just before
I left her. The marriage of Air. Carter and
Mrs. Jessamine was unaccountably delayed
by matters of business, and they would re
main in Paris all winter. And Mary went on
to sav that, as there was a month of good
w. atiier left for Switzerland yet, they had
determined to retrace theirstcps, and to take
a Swiss tour, as staying in Paris, so long as
the marriage was not to come off immedi
ately, was neither agreeable nor expedient.
Mary wrote in wretched spirits, and I
could "well believe that Mrs. Jessamine's
matrimonial strules had not Improved her
temper.
So I w ent to Geneva, that key-note of Swiss
travel, hoping to hear or see something of
Mary. Three days' careful consultation of
the hotel books convinced me that they were
not in the citv of Calvin. I went sauntering
down through the jewelers' shops one idle
aricrnoon, and in a small one in an obscure
street I found Handyside Marbury.
He w:is more shabby than I had ever seen
him. Pale and forlorn, and hungry looking,
t be friend of Leo X. and of Lorenzo da
.Medici, the apologist of Hypatia, the man of
grand ideas and slender resources was at the
cud of his forlorn fortunes
He was attempting to dispose of a piece of
jewelry when I entered, to a haggling shop
man, who was attentively examining the
article.
Handy-side greeted mc with enthusiasm,
nnd told me that he had been lying ill at
Geneva for a month, and that, his letters hay
ing failed to arrive, etc., he was obliged to
sell some few little "objects" which he had
collected in his travels.
I looked carelessly at the " object" which
was to help poor llandyside along a little
further, and taw the ring with two lions.
AVith some perturbation I asked leave to
examine it. "es, there was the winking lion
the same ring, I could have sworn, that I
had given to Mary Jessamine lioness with
ruhy eves and all. I asked Mr. Marbury
where he had picked up so curious a thing.
" I bought it in Venice." said he, "in one
of those little shops on the Kialto. Why do
vou nsk ?"
"Because I too bought one there exactly
like this," said I, eying him closely.
" That is not improbable," said the jewel-
cr. " Such a curious ring as this was proba
bly the badge of a society, and there were
manv of them; but it is very interesting."
"Yes," said Marbury, waking up to his
learning and useless research. "Some Ve
netian league some brothers in their in
fernal councils probably had these rings for
midnight warnings, subaqueous commun
ings, murderous messages. See what a cun
ning, malignant expression the old lion has
with his diamond eyes:
"How much is it worth to vou?" said he,
suddenly dropping from the fifteenth to the
nineteenth century.
" Mav I become the purchaser ?" I asked
" I would like to bring the two rings to
iretlier."
" Certainly," said Marbury, magnificently.
So the ieweler not having to pay lor it mm
self put a very good price on the ring, and I
became its owner, as I believed for the sec
ond time, and the old lion winked at mc con
lidentiallv.
And yet how was that possible? What
connection could there be between this dis
reputable old man and my beautiful Mary?
Was he a thief, and had "he hung about the
Dartv. of which (by his interest in Mrs. Jes
samine) he evidently knew something, until
lie could despoil them of their watches and
rings? Or was the other supposition proba
Me. that he. like myself, had fallen on a re
positorv of " rings with two lions," nnd had
boughtone, as I had done, enamored of the
curiosity? He was just the man to buy use
less things even with his funds very low.
I concluded to ask him, when 1 saw mm
ogain, some leading questions about Mrs
Jessamine's party, but he had walked quick
lv awav when the money was paid over to
Lira for the rinir. and I could riot tind him in
all Geneva. Ife was the sort of man not to
be found when he was wanted. It was one
of his talents. Perhaps ho was so little
sought after that he had never cultivated
bcinsr found.
I went thoroughly over and through Swit
zerland before I caught my bird. Then, just
as I had given up looking, Mary and her
aunt walked in at Iuterlaken and took their
seats below me nt the table d'hote.
Thev aid not see me until the dinner was
nearly over. I had looked at a certain well
known white hand, and I saw that the taper
tincrer which had worn the "ring with two
lions" was empty.
Then 1 became convinced that llandyside
Marbury was a thief. He had dogged these
two women, and he had stolen this jewe
which Marv. after the fashion of women
had left on her pincushion or dressing-table
I met the ladies of course after dinner, and
found them both glad to see me. Airs. Jes
famine was somewhat agitated over a rob
bery she had suffered from in Paris, and
talked of a hundred Napoleons which had
cone as if thev were ten thousand.
So I was right. Mary had put on her
gloves as I approached her; she did not want
we to see tier loss, l suppose.
When f had an opportunity to speak with
her alone she tout me that the carter en
gagement was broken off, and that Mrs. Jes
samine was very sad about it. Mr. Carter
had relucted at the very stringent leading
strings into which Mrs. Jessamine had
proposed putting him. The ladies al
lowed me to join their party, and we all went
to Geneva together, as in the eood old times
I bought a little blue forget me-not ring on
the Quai oltaire, and prepared myself fo
action. When Marv and I were alone to
gether.! led the conversation toward the ring.
" So the lions went with the Napoleons
did they, Mary?"
She colored iolcntly, and said:
" So so you heard of our robbery ?"
" Why. of course; you heard your aim
telling me; but, Mary, hold out your hand
And I pulled out of my pocket the ring
with two lions. We were sitting on one of
the little benches in the grounds of the
Hotel de la Paix when this happened, and
were quite alone. I never saw one so utterly
friifhtened and agitated as Mary. She looked
at the ring, and at me, with eyes that seemed
all but starting from her head, ana with
face as pale as death.
"Tell me, tell me! What do you know
about it?"
It was now my turn to be agitated. Sh
referred undoubtedly to the burglary in
Paris, and what did I know about it ? Had
I not become at once and most innocently
very important link in the chain of evidence
and did I wish to give up poor shabby old
llandyside Marbury on a mere suspicion
for was it not altogether possible that he had
found a fac-simile of the ring instead of
stealing it? And yet, if I told the whole
truth, I was in honor bound to share the
suspicions I had of this man with Mrs
Jessamine.
Mary looked at me so piteously tht
hastened to put her out of pain, and deter-
mined at the same moment not to implicate
.Marbury. 1 tola her part or the truth
which was, that 1 had found the ring in
Geneva, and that 1 had conversed with th
jeweler about it, not forgetting bis ingen
lous suggestion that the ring was one
of many, probably the badge of a se
cret society. She grew composed, and al
lowed me to once more put it on her ringer
and to place as a guard the little circlet o
blue forget-me-nots, from the. Quai Voltaire
But she would not allow me to question her
further about our future plans, fchc was
mysterious as ever.
When we went back to the Hotel de 1
Paix we found Mrs. Jessamine in very grea
spirits. She had had a telegram from Paris
Her stolen goods hud been found, an
awaited her identification in Paris. Strangely
enough, this news seemed to give Marv new
hope and cheerfulness. I began to be almos
afraid that the family talent of avarice had
aescennea to .Mary, sue 6iiowca such over
whelming pleasure in this discovery. The
thief had been found one of the hotel serv
ants and Mrs. Jessamine's jewelry and
hundred Napoleons were safe.
She came to me that evening, my dear little
girl, and asked me to take a walk with her.
bhe put her hand in my arm and looked up
in my face smilingly:
"I have been relieved from a terrible fear.
"Louis," said she, "and lam going to treat I her dead father's reputation than
mvself to the pleasure oi loving you tor a
few hours, and telling you so; but you must
not ask me a single question; you must en-
oy the present, and put up with mysteries
or a little while longer."
So we walked and talked as lovers will,
and we had Mont Blanc looking down upon
us with just his rosy 6mile, and then his cold
and icy moonlight splendor. But it was all
the same to us; we had our sunshine care
fully prepared for our own use, and carried
it with us. ' '
When we ot to the hotel we found Mrs.
Jessamine in a terrible temper. She was in
dignant that Mary 6hould have left at such a
irae, with the preparation for Paris yet tin
inished. Marv took her aunt's abuse like
one walking in a dream, and I took it with a
condensed bitterness which I cannot de-
sreibe. .
When Mary nnd her aunt had departed J
walked to the banker's for my letters, l
found one from Baron Hainmerstein, saying
that Ainslie bad proposed for the hand of
Bertha, and asking me II ne were a suuauic
match for his sister.
Here was a complication: to recommena
or to disable Ainslie as a suitor for a bigh
orn German maiden; to expose or shield
poor old llandyside r.iarnury. inese iwo
questions presented themselves to my consciousness.
I walked to the bridge nnd leaned over,
looking into the blue waters of Lake Lrman.
How much." said I to a contemplative
wan who came to my call, expecting that I

mself for a few days. Or, if he marries
Bertha, what happiness can she expect from

Then old Handyside Marbury."
At this the swan gave a loud, unmusical
screech, and on looking up 1 saw the last
object of my meditations standing near me.
nd feeding the swan to a large slice oi
bread. Handyside looked twenty years
ounger and as bright as the morning.
"Congratulate me, mv young Iriena,
aid the opponent of Cyril. " I have come
nto my fortune. A relative who has lived
altogether too long has died at last, and I
m now a rich man. I got me letter last
ight. A large credit at Baring s enables
me, my young friena, to repay tnose sums
hich you so kindly advanced to me: ana I
ave another connaence to mane xo you.
Mr. Charleton, I am the unworthy father of
Mary Jessamine! The late lamented and
ever to be pitied Peter Jessamine and myself
married sisters. My wire aiea, leaving one
aughter. My misfortunes, Mr. Charleton,
began early, and then Mrs. jessamine adopt
ed my daughter.
Mrs. Jessamine, Mr. cnarieion, na
treated me with odious contempt and cruel
ty. She would have prevented my daugh
ter's loving and aiding me if she could. I
ave never been permittea even to see ner
penly; but my daughter s love has con-
uered all things.
" I have also to confess that the ring which
you 60 kindly redeemed in a jeweler's shop
ere about a wecK ago naa Deen sent to me
v my daughter when l lay nere very in.
Mrs. Jessamine, as vou are aware, is not
avish to my daughter in the matter of
money.
So the mystery was cleared up, and Mary's
onduct shone out pure and lustrous. Be
ween such an aunt and such a father she
was indeed entitled to her 6ecrets.
Handyside Marbury was a shabby old
father-in-law, and to a man less in lov this
relationship might have dashed a very con
siderable ardor. But it oniy maae me love
Mary better, and I hurried on to Paris by the
night train, anxious to console, and defend,
and protect her. v nen 6ne neara oi tne ac
cession or fortune .Mrs. Jessamine iorgave
llandyside Marbury, and even treated Mary
little better: but the habits or a liietime
are not so easily mended.
There seemed to be no reason now why
our engagement should not be announced;
no reason why I should not take Mary and
the " ring with two lions" to myself forever;
but Mrs. Jessamine became ror once an un
willing obstacle. The poor woman had
been ailing for a long time, and she was now
nformed by the doctors that she had an in
curable disease. She took her passage for
America in the Albatross for the l'Jth of De
cember, and Mary would go with her.
" I cannot leave her, L.ouis, saia sue;
she has taken care of me since I was
seven years old. ana sue Das meant to
be kind. Her faults arc the faults of
nature; she cannot help them. And
now I have another care my poor father!
You have seen what a grown-up child he is!
must teach him to bear his two thousand a
year, lor which lie has ucen so long waning.
t seems to him now an immense fortune.
Next month he will be poor. Have patience.
Louis! lour love nnd constancy shall be
rewarded some time!'
So I saw them all off from Brest, for Mary
would not let me go with them. It was an
incongruous party, with Handyside Marbury
newly forgiven, and I do not wonder that
Marv wished to be aione wun ner new com
plications.
It was a glorious sunset! The Albatross
walked off into the ocean with majestic step,
and seemed to command the uncertain water.
I watched Mary's white handkerchief, after
true love fashion, as long as I could see it,
and then turned reluctantly to the most un-
poe.tical of all objects, the railroad station.
1 lie Hrst man I met in rans was Ainsne:
He came forward to meet me with his visual
airy grace. "Ana now about iserinar
asked.
Oh! a very sentimental flirtation, with
the usual results: the young lady tnore in
earnest than the dreadful man, you know!'
But Baron Hammerstein wrote me that
vou had proposed to Bertha!" said I
" So 1 did; so I naa: l was lorcea to, you
know, because I saw 6he took me so sen
ously. These German girls are very different
from our American girls; they are so much
more in earnest. I told Bertha all about
Cecilia (in the British provinces), and told
her that I thought Cecilia would release me;
for it really is an engagement which, to tell
you the truth, has become wearisome to me;
but Bertha would not bear of anything of
the sort. She said 1 must adhere to my hrst
promise. She would not build her happi
ness on the heart-break of another, and all
that kind of nonsense, you know. So it
grew awkward, and I came away
From all" I have heard of Ainslie since, it
has frequently become awkward, and he has
always come away.
It was on Christmas Day that the news of
the wreck of the. Albatross came to Paris
Yes, she had gone down in mid ocean; the
splendid steamer, with her precious freight
a few lives only saved. I could not, in the
incomplete accounts published, find Mary's
naina, but .Mrs. Jessamine and llandyside
Marbury were reported among the lost." The
survivors were at a little town on the Iri
coast, and thither I went.
How I blessed the lightning express which
carries the mails to Queenstown. Day and
night I traveled with my terrible fear, and
yet with a certain hope. Would that God
would allow us to purchase some immunity
from the awful suffering- of anxiety and hope
deferred! But it is a part of His discipline
so it is right, and to be endured as best we may,
I met the agent of the steamer first, and he
told me that several young ladies had been
saved. "The young." said he, "can live
when the older cannot." And two or three
so ill, and some of them delirious, that they
had not been able to nnd out their names,
He pointed to a email house where they were
and told mc that I would find a Sister of
Charity there, who would give me all the in
formation I desiscd.
It was not long before I was talking with
one of those clear-headed, saintly women
who came down to the little doorway to
speak with me.
"I have three youn girl up-6tairs," said
she, "one very much injured aboutthe head.
the others in a stupor from the fatigue and
fright. It would not be well for you to see
them yet, but vou can describe to me the
friend vou seek."
So I told of Mary's beautiful long
chestnut hair, her dark eyebrows, and her
sweeping lashes, and I asked the good sister
to sec it on her nnger was a " ring with two
lions."
In a few minutes she came back. "The
one who lies in the heaviest stupor has such
hair as you describe, and she has a gold ring
with two lions' heads, and a blue circlet of
forget-me-nots," said the good sister. No
tears or entreaties would melt the good
nun s decision; 1 should not see ner at pres
ent. Every means was taken, she said, to
bring those poor girls back to health, but fo
the moment every life hung on a thread
I do not know why I thought of Bertha
Hammerstein in my distress, but I did, and
teiegrapnea to her to come to the poor
lrienaiess girl wno naa but me left on the
face of the ;arth.
So the good sister watched and prayed
by the bedside of these maidens snatched
from the sea-monster. That night the young
gin wno naa been so injured died. Alary
ia not die. She and the other slowly came
back to life and reason.
I was pacing gloomily the little town
which bad been turned so suddenly into the
spot of interest for the whole world for who
did not lollow the survivors of that wreck
when a carriage rushed rapidly past and a
nana was wavea to me. it was dear Hertha
with one of the maiden aunts, and a red-
cheeked German attendant, whose nation
ality struck me even in that anxious hour,
so pronounced was it.
Bertha too had suffered shipwreck,
could see in that generous face the mark of
heart-break. Ainslie had left, as he has ever
done since, a shadow on the face of the
woman who loved him.
There could be no barm to Mary in the
Tisit of Bertha, whose youth and love and
good care brought her back to me. I was
more anected by Mary's tender tnougnt oi
pv any-
So the man of great ideas and feeble in
tentions had known howjo die! There was
a link wanting, as he had said, between him
and the present age: between his talents and
the use of them. Like many a theorist he
had never been able to construct a theory
that fitted himself. Yet there was a heroic
side to the man. "Nothing in life became
him like the leaving it," has been said of
more than one Handyside Marbury.
I wanted to be married at once In Lon
don, anywhere, as soon as Mary was recov
ered from her dreadful shock. I wanted the
right to console, and cure, and defend this
hitherto sadly-abused woman; but the
maiden aunt, who had been about as useful
heretofore as if she had been a mermaid
from the adjoining rocks, became enormous
on the subject of etiquette. She said Mary
must come to the Schloss, and that the old
Baroness must decide when and where and
how she was to be married.
So wc journeyed slowly back to Schloss
Eiderstcin. I was not afraid to have Mary
see its splendors now. She was mine
wholly, heartily mine.
Then one awkwardness was removed, for
the young Baron bad consoled himself. He
was betrothed, with great formality and true
Germau solemnity, to a noble heiress of Vi
enna a lady who bore6ixteen quarteringson
her shield. It was a more fitting match than
Mary. All of which pleasod the old Baron
ess so that she played numberless classica
and diflieult works on the violin, with un
nsual earnestness and precision, and embrac
ed Mary heartily. It was not difficult to run
down an American Ambassador at Baden
Baden they used to haunt the shades of the
green cloth and as our Catholic friends re
ceived a dispensation for one day, and were
allowed to enter Protestant precincts, w
made quite an effect as we entered the chapel
at Baden-Baden. Although the American
Ambassador took Mary to the altar, and
stood "in loco parentis," the old Baroness
insisted on giving her away, which she did
with infinite grace.
And for a wedding-ring I would have noth
ing but the Ring with Two Lions.

A Story of 'cd Kendall.
The Milwaukee Journal of Commerce,
in noticing the death of James K. Ken
dall, the noted clarionet player, tells a
story of his brother, Ned Kendall, who
was as noted a bugler. A New York
bugle-player, who had heard of Ned and
often of comparisons between his own
and Ned s powers, had felt a great desire
to hear him. Happening to be at a coun
try hotel where Ned was stopping one
day, and seeing a bugle lyingaon the
table, the New lorker picned it up.
4 Ah, said he, ' any of you play on this?"
Yes, I do a little," said a somewhat
thick-set, dark-complexioned man at the
fire.
" Play for parties, I suppose?"
"Now and then when I ret a job,"
said the other, his eyes twinkling; "do
you?"
" un, l tio a little m my way," saia
the New Yorker, with assumed indifler
ence; and seizing the bugie he ran over
the scale, gave half a dozen strains and
pretty snatches of melody that brought a
dozen or two listeners to the halt-open
door.
The dark man opened his eves wider.
"You are an excellent player," said he.
" On, only so-so," w as the gratified and
somewhat pompous reply. "I suppose
you don't go into much except uance
music?"
" Well, yes, a little; I'm pretty good at
imitating a thing I hear played once
or twice;" and lie took up the instru
ment and plaj'ed the same strains the
other had performed, awkwardly and
with half a dozen hitches and omissions.
" Pretty good," said the New Yrk bu
gler, "but you want practice and accent,
especially in solo playing."
" No doubt of it," said the dark man.
' Now, even in dance music there can
be a vast deal of ornamentation," said
the New Yorker, warming up with a de
sire to show off his skill before what he
thought an inferior player and the gath
cring group that the notes of the instru
ment had already attracted. "Now the
Fisher's Hornpipe' is a lively tunc, but
see what can be done with it;" and he
took up the bugle and put the country
dance through a series of variations that
made the nerves of every foot whose
wner was within hearing tingle with
electric thrills.
" You can hardly follow that as well as
the scales, I suppose," said the perform
er, laying down ihe instrument amid a
buzz of applause from his now augment
ed audience.
" Well, I do't know about following
anybody, but I mav give you my idea of
it," said the dark-complexioned man, as
he took up the instrument.
If the first bar made the other player
start, the succeeding ones transfixed
him, as the performer executed strains
with a correctness, skill and beautv that
he never heard extracted from a bugle
before. The variations, trills, tones and
melody of the familiar old dance were
rendered into electric poetry as never be
fore dreamed of, as they flowed from the
bell of the instrument, and beneath the
skillful manipulations and never-failing
wind of the performer, w ho at the con
clusion of his oertormance, amid a roar
of applause, remarked, with the same
sly twinkling in his dirk eye:
" What do you think now?"
" Think!" said the other, as he stood
With his eyes distended with astonish
ment "Think! wky, that no living man
could have done that; you must be either
the devil or Ned Kendall."
" Ned Kendall, and no devil," said the
player, as he grasped the other s hand
extended to him.

A Shadow of Twenty Years.
A terribly grim family tyrant in West
Troy, N. , has just been left alone.
He had been married to a good woman
twenty years. The first ten years five
children came into the home, and clouds
and storms, and domestic terror. The
buhband was in the habit of beating the
wile shamefully, knocking her senses out
of her, and then calling the neighbors
and telling them she had fallen and hurt
herself. He succeeded in convincing the
neighbors that she had fits and they be
lieved him to be tender and kind. At
one time he had made arrangements to
send her to a lunatic asylum, when an
incident occurred which stopped these
proceedings. She was tewing in her sit
ting-room one day when her husband
came in, sneaked up behind her, and with
his fist knocked her senseless on the floor.
The brute then went out to call the
neighbors as usual. liut one of them, a
lady, was in the house unknown to him
and witnessed the assault. Her evidence
opened the eyes of the neighbors to the
wrong in that house. They had the man
arrested and tried. Before the court the
woman told the truth about their domes
tic lite, but pleaded for the release of
her husband, as she said she was the only
sufferer and would try to stand her treat
ment. Hut the court sentenced the man
to imprisonment for some months. He
said to her as he was parsing from the
court-room to the jail: "I will never
speak to you again on earth." That was
ten years ago. He came out of jail and
went home, but spoke no word to his
wife. She spoke to him directly about
family matters, and he sent her messages
by one of the children when it was
necessary to reply. So she lived and
suffered for ten more long years. A short
time ago the doctor and a preacher, who
had been called, told the man that his
wife was on her death-bed, and asked
him to give her a few happy hours be
fore she died. He relented, went and
threw himself off his knees at his wife's
bedside. He spoke to her, called her by
name and asked her to forgive him. She
took his hand and forgave him. He left
her bedside no more. Her last words to
him were: "The last two days of my
life have been the happiest, and I hope
they will be the beginning of happier
days for you." An hour after she was
dead. Can the man ever be happy with
the memory of that twenty-years' shadow
he made?

nERR Tcsoiier says that if one volume
of castor oil be dissolved in two or three
volumes of spirits of w ine, it will render
paper transparent, and, the spirit rapidly
evaporating, the paper in a few minutes
becomes fit for use. A tracing in pencil
can then be made, and if the paper is
placed in.spirits of wine, the oil is dis
solved out, restoring the paper to its
original condition. The drawing may
then be completed in Indian ink or in
colors.
Cake of a Mcff. When jou take it
off give it several hard twirls around to
smooth the fur. AVhen placed in the
box lay it on its side; this prevents the
wadding from sinking downward and
tailing into clods. When you put it
away for winter place within it some
lumps of camphor wrapped in paper and
sprinkle the outside with, powdered
camphor. Then inclose it completely
and tightly in two or three thicknesses of
newspaper. Do not open it until you
want it in the fall. The printer s ink on
the papers will assist in keeping out
moths.
To Take Oct Brcises in Ftrxitcre.
Wet the place well with warm water,
then take some brown paper five or six
times doubled and well soaked in water.
lay it on the place, apply on that a hot
flat-iron till the moisture is evaporated,
and if the bruise is not gone repeat the
process. You will find after two or
three applications that the dent or bruise
is raised level with the surface. If the
bruise is small soak it well with warm
water, and hold a red-hot poker very
near the surface, which is to be kept
continually wetted, and you will soon
nnd the indentation vanished.
Scrap Pudding. Put the scraps of
bread, crust and crumb, into a bowl, with
sufficient milk to cover them well. Cover
with a saucepan lid or plate, and put it
into the oven to soak for half an hour.
Take it out and mash the bread with a
fork until it is a pulp, then add a hand-
'ul of raisins and as many currants, a
teaspoonf ul of brown sugar, half a cup
of milk, some candied lemon-peel and
one egg. Stir it up well, grease a pud
ding dish and pour the pudding in.

rreserTlng- Manure.
The Boston Journal of Cliemiatni states
that the sources of loss in the storage are
two: first, the. escape of volatile ammo
nia and other gases; and secondly, the
loss of valuable salts by leaching. The
first difficulty may be obviated by cover
ing the excrement with eight or ten
inches of good soil or loam, -which will
absorb all escaping gases. A bushel or
so of plaster may be advantageously
scattered over the heap before the soil is
thrown on. The whole mass should be
perfectly covered, leaving no " chimney"
tor gaseous exudation. The danger of
leaching may be avoided by covering
the heap with hay or straw sufficiently
thick to shed most of the rain. If kept
in this way a sufficient time the manure
will undtrgo spontaneous decomposition ,
the products of which will be ready for
immediate assimilation by plants. The
usual process is cariing manure to the
fields in the autumn to waste, by both
the above processes, some of their most
valuable- constituents.
Butter and Cheese.
The future of dairy products is begin
ning to attract attention, and already
Eastern commission-men seem to be
working a " bear movement" to knock
down prices. The circular of one of the
leading produce-houses of New York
holds that dairy-products will bring low
er prices in the future than in the'past,
and advises those contemplating the pur
chase of milk the coming season to make
their contracts at 20 or 25 per cent, less
than they have been in the habit of doing.
One of the arguments stated by this firm
is, that prices of butter and cheese must
come down sooner or later, in keeping with
those of other produce; that we are now
in that transition state which will change
butter and cheese from articles of luxury
to those of necessity, and prices accord
ingly; that, from the paralyzation ot the
manufacturing interests all over the
world, millions of unemployed people
will seek the farm, and thus, by increas
ing the already ample production of all
classes of farm produce, including butter
and cheese, lower their money value,
not only in this, but in every civilized
country in the world. This firm also
hold that prices for butter and cheese are
too high; and that, while cheese has not
been marked with so severe a loss in
price as butter, yet the long indifference
of the export trade proves that business
in this direction h without the stimulus
of satisfactory prices.
This firm seem to. have forgotten one
thing, and that is: Butter and cheese
are no longer regarded as a luxury, but
one of prime necessity. If it were not
so the annual consumption would not so
steadily increase. There is another
thing that workingmen are finding out:
that cheese, at sixteen to twenty cents
per pound, is really a cheap food in com
parison with meal ; and also that it stands
in the same relation to other human food
that flesh-meat dots. It is a fact that a
pound of cheese is equal to two pounds
of meat; and that butter is no longer a
luxury is evident from the fact that the
lower grades of butter are readily sold
to the poor, who cannot afford to buy
better grades.
It is true that first-class butter at forty
cents a pound is costly, and, in that
light, may be regarded as a luxury.
Nevertheless, all who can buy will do so
at this price, or even a higher one, if
they cannot get it for less. Gilt-edge or
really extra butter is not always found
on the tables of our first-class hotels, and
not always on tables of our wealthy citi
zens for the simple reason that com
paratively little is made, and, in the win
ter season, when 6carce, the makers often
get whatever price may be put upon it.
It is somewhat astonishiug that, at the
prices we have mentioned, and with the
certainty of their existence for at least
some time to come, more farmers do not
provide themselves with facilities for
making and keeping this article until
the winter season brings its usual scare
ity of good butter. So long as they do not
those who know how to make and how
to keep it will be sure of large profits
out of the necessities of their customers.
The fact that quantities of both inferior
cheese and butter will continue to be
made will, we think, insure a price fully
remunerative for all the good that is of
fered for years to come.
It is true that butter and cheese, like
all other articles of manufacture, will
fluctuate: there will be years when the
profits will be small as compared with
years of scarcity; there may be years
when losses will ensue; but that con
sumption will not keep pace with the
manufacture we do not believe. The
fact U, we are only beginning to learn to
eat cheese as an article of daily
food. There is a large margin yet for
increased consumption; and, as a slight
decrease in the price of meat at once
stimulates the consumption, so a slight
reduction in the price of cheese would
induce many to use it who have not here
tofore been in the habit of doing so.
Therefore, we 6ee no present cause of
alarm nothwithstanding the very spe
cious plea of this large and no doubt in
terested Nw York produce house.
We have heretofore, as farmers, been
trying to get rich through the exporta
tion of wheat and corn. That has never
paid its cost. Of late years the more sa
gacious of our farmers have begun to un
derstand that it was a losing game and
have turned their attention to the fatten
ing of cattle and hogs and the produc
tion of wool, and with a sure reward.
Let the West once increase the reputa
tion, already a favorable one in English
markets, for cheese, and this industry,
already an important one, may be in
creased indefinitely and with profits as
sure as in any other branch of agricult
ure. '"arji and Garden, in. L'hicayo

who has discovered in nature's " meek

compromise between strong chink and

does more: It acts upon the entire physi
