TUHKM the night , but ere the
sun topped Hit * horizon the clouds
olo.'ircd away. When I came into the
i ( he light and gladness of the
or were on every side. The roses ,
shaking off a shower of diamond drops
ns 1 passed , filled the air with frag-
raiu.v , and every lesser denizen of bed
and border added Its share of sweet-
uees. A blackbird was warbling In
a lime tree , whilst a faint music caine
from the brook which skirts the green
lip of the lawn.
lint my heart failed to respond to
Iho glad greeting of the summer morn-
Ing [ was at variance with myself
and with all the world. i had ar
ranged for breakfast at an early hour
KO that I might catch the first train to
town , for I wished to escape at once
from surroundings which had become
unbearable. After an almost sleep
less night I had risen without looking
at my watch. Descending. I found
that I had forestalled even the servants
of Hie house , so I wandered into the
garden to pass an hour , restlessly
tramping the smooth paths. With ev
ery step I hurled defiance at the quiet
beauty of the roses and cursed the
blackbird for Its soft , sweet singing.
At ( lines I called myself a fool for
allowing an empty laugh to thus em
bitter me. I urged upon myself the
necessity for putting aside such mani
fest folly. What. I argued , was the
uncertain love of a foolish girl com
pared with the rewards which art and
learning hold out to their devotees ?
And yet I argued with myself in vain
-my heart told me that my reasoniu
was faulty.
Dolly and I had been friends ever
since childhood. I had come to re
gard her , half unconsciously , perhaps ,
but really , as my special property.
Long ago I had settled it in my heart
that my life should be devoted to her
happiness , for I loved her dearly with
a love that had stood the test of years.
And I fancied I foolishly nurtured the
thought that Dolly was not averse
from me.
And now I had spoken to her only
last night I told her that at last 1
had an assured position , that I could
"speak as a man amongst men. I
touched lightly upon the fortune that
I had HO lately inherited. Finally , I
told her that her parents andmy moth
er were well pleased with our friend
ship. And I asked her then and there
to s : y that she would be my wife.
I paced the garden more quickly ,
and clinched my fists in anger , as the
memory of the interview bit its way
Into my mind. I cursed my folly for
placing mj'self in a position where
such rebuff was possible , for Dolly had
laughed in my face , had thrown back
her pretty head , and. regarding me
through half-closed eyelids , had laugh
ed. Then she had said I recalled the |
wordwith unpleasant distinctness ; j
"My dear Jack , you know how glad !
1 am : o hear of your fortune and suc
cess. Hut why. O why. am I to be' '
your wife ? I do not see any logical'
connection between what you have told
me and what you have asked me. And
1 have not the faintest idea of prom-j
Ising any such thing. " 1
Thus she had treated the whole af-1
fair us ihuge and entertaining joke , j
And I well , I had left her alone in
the summer house and had gone away
feeling more angry than ever before
iu my life.
Suddenly , as I paced the garden
trying to comprehend what to me as
yet seemed impossible. I came face to
face with the cause of all my mis-
g thoughts. She looked I was
bound to admit it as fresh and sweet
as Uio morning Itself. She had been
gathering roses and carried < i basket
filled with the fragrant blooms. With
out flu * Je.-i t sign of surprise or MU-
barrassment she advanced to meet me.
"Sinro when have you taken to early
rising. Jack ? " she inquired with a gay
little laugh. "I admire your choice
of an occasion for the experiment ; the
morning is perfect , is it not ? "
Ignoring hor question. I said :
"I am off to town almost immediately
thai it , as soon as I have had some
breakfast. "
I fancied that her face grew slightly
graver as she exclaimed :
"So soon ! Why , I thought you were
at least going to remain over my birth
day. We are such old friends , and
besides , you know , you promised. "
I tried to assume as unconcerned a
manner as possible.
"After what took place last night. "
1 said , with dignity. "I should hardly
feel justified in burdening you with
my society for a moment longer inan
is absolutely neoessarj' . "
Dolly severed the stem of a La
France rose and added the huge pink
Mossom to her basket. Then she said :
"Why , Jack , you surely know that
your presence is no burden to me.
Even when we were boy and girl to
gether aud you used to to pull my
hair. I was always glad of your com
pany You see , I was such a lonely
little girl. And you were always kind
for a boy. "
I Ignored the doubtful compliment.
"My dear Dolly. " I began briskly ,
and I lion waited to see the effect of my.
wordH Dolly began to finger the pet
als of the big pink rose. She said
uothfng , so I continued :
"My dear Dolly , it must be ivppa-
reut to you h/it after what happened
last night our-position is altered , once
and forever. It can never be the samt
again. "
"Then what a pity you said what
you did ! " she cried ; "It was all youi
fault , you know. 0 , why did you do
it. Jack ? "
"Really , Dolly , " I answered quite Ir
ritably , "I confess I am at a loss to
understand how the blame can be
shifted to my shoulders. I merely told
you certain things ( hat that I could
not help telling you. And you answer
ed me with a laugh. I think the
blame is all on your side. "
She thought for a moment and then
replied :
"Yes , Jack , I know quite well that
I laughed. But it all seemed to mo
so funny. L could not believe that you
were in earnest. "
"A man is usually much In earn
est when he offers himself and his
fortune to a lady ! " I exclaimed , sar
castically.
"In a way yes , " returned Dolly ,
with a quaint assumption of sageness ,
"but it seems to me a little absurd that
he should expect to be taken seriously
necessarily. You see , it is quite pos
sible that the lady may not care about
the fortune at all. "
I was exasperated.
"Dolly ! " 1 cried , "it is perfectly plain
to me that you do not comprehend the
meaning of the word 'love. ' Men do
ask women to marry them simplj1be
cause they have money enough to keep
them at least , a man who loves a
woman doesn't. "
I ended rather lamely. Dolly looked
at me a little wistfully.
"Perhaps you arc right. Jack , " slid
said , slowly. "Perhaps I do not under
stand love. Knt , then , love is a diffi
cult thing to understand , I think. "
" 0. Dolly , Dolly ! " I cried , almost In
despair. "It is really so easy to love <

How to Grow Peanuts.
Plow your laud early In spring , and
ibout the 5th or 10th of May cross-
break , harrow , lay your rows off 28
Inches each way , put two kernels in a
) lace , cover lightly with shovel plow ,
and in four or five days put another
furrow on and drag off Be careful
lot to touch the peanuts ; cultivate as
level as possible with small plow. You
can plow both ways ; keep the vines
uncovered and let theigrow as fast
as possible. When they go to bloom
ing , never mind the bloom ; just let it
alone , it doesn't have anything to do
with the peanut. Don't go to the trou
ble that I have heard of to cover the
bloom up.
Iu the fall , before frost , when your
peanut vines look matured and you
know the nuts are matured , take a
No. 19 or 20 chilled plow , take the
wing off and you can plow them up
without leaving too much dirt on vine.
Uim once or twice to the row ; if your
vines are small , once will do , but if
i.arge you will find it best to run
twice. Take a four-pronged pitchfork ,
raise the vines up and shake the dirt
off , and let it back ; shake them up in
the morning and stack in the after
noon. Now comes the particular part.
Get your stack poles about 7 feet long ,
small poles , sharpen each end , jab
it in the ground good and firm and lay
some chunks , split pieces or anything
else that is handy around. It is hard
: o stack them without molding or turn
ing black unless you understand it.
Pick the vine up by the root , let the
root pass the pole ; every time you put
up a vine , or vines , let the roots pass
the pole , and so on until the stack is
finished. Take a nice bunch of grass
and cap your stack. When they have
stayed in stack four or five weeks
they are ready to pick and sack and
will keep in any quantity. J. W.
Reeves in the Globe-Democrat.
Cheap Fencing : Machine.

Profit Comes Slowly.
The profit from farming comes in
ilowly , and several years may elapse
> efore the farmer is aware that his
'arm pays. This is due to the fact
hat fertility in the soil is cumulative ,
he results of the first year being but
ittle apparently , though every year
hereafter the farm will increase In
( reductive capacity. The system of
arming practiced will also influence
he future of the farm. Where stock is
L specialty the results are nearly al-
vays excellent , and rotation of crops
: ! ds in giving a profit , but the largest
ain is when the farmer uses fertilizers
iberally and gives his attention to the
reservation of the manure produced
n the farm.
The Orchard a N cessity.
An orchard is a necessity on the
arm. It is well known that a farm
; ontaining an orchard will sell at a
air price , when farms with no or-
hards are sacrificed. The buyer al
ways looks for the greatest number of
.dvantages , and If apples , peaches ,
tears , plums and the small fruits can
e found , instead of only an apple or-
: hard , the value of the farm will be
ucrensed much more than the original
odt of the orchard. If the farm is not
or sale the orchard will be a source of
> rofit to the farmer.
Deaths Amonj ; Farmers.
It is sad to hear of the recent deaths

t was to be seriously sick. They have
lean prostrated by such formidable
i&cascs as pneumonia and typhoid

A Cave for Storing Apples.
For storing fruit on the farm nothing
'can ' equal a good cave. One of the
leading orchardists in southwestern
Iowa built a cave seven years ago , and
has found it an excellent place in which
( to store apples. The cave was dug into
a north hill slope and the dirt removed
with a spade and wheelbarrow. It is
1C feet wide by 50 feet deep and will
hold two carloads of apples. The clay
walls need nothing to hold them in
place.
The roof is made of bridge plaak ,
held in place by posts along the sides.
The plank are covered with dirt and
sodded over to turn the rain. Two
12-inch tiles at the top provide ventila
tion. Rats have not bothered much.
A few got In , but were caught with a
wire trap. A fruithouse 16 by 20 feet
is built In front of the cave. Double
doors open on the north , so that two
wagons can be backed in for unload
ing. There is an orchard and timber on
the south , so that hot south winds have
no chance to enter this cave. Apples
are stored in barrels , which are kept
off the ground. American Agricultur

A Lifting Frame.
From the accompanying cut you will
be able to get an idea of a handy ar
rangement for lifting , especialljr so on
butchering day.
The side pieces of
the frame are
made of 2xGxl4 ,
the legs are 2x43

is a round block ot
wood 18 inches
long with two
2-iiich holes to insert the lever B ; 0 is
a stick between the lever and frame
when the load is drawn up ; D is c
% -inch rope and E is a single block ,
The legs should be attached by a bolt
running through the frame , and the
holes in the legs be made oblong In
shape so they will fit over a wagon
The bolt musl be at least 4 inches long
er than the frame is wide. R. E.Olark
in the Epitomist.
Feed ins : of Soft Corn.
There is very little difference In feed
ing value of the dry matter of soft , or
thoroughly ripened corn , pound for
pound , but it requires about 20 pei
cent more soft corn to make an even
amount of dry matter. Of course the
same amount of cob is necessary to
grow a soft ear that is required to grow
a good ear. A good deal of soft corn
is musty. This may or may not be in
jurious to stock. It is better to use
caution in feeding soft corn until its
effect on the animals eating it is deter
mined. Ordinarily there is very little
trouble from this source , but specific
cases of stomach trouble have been
traced to damaged or moldy corn. As
there is so much of this class of stock
fojd in the country this year , It Is bet
ter to go slow. Henry Payne , In Farm
and Home.
Cotatvold Sheep.
The Cotwood sheep possesses largi
frame and long fleece , but It is nol
suitable for farmers where pastures
are not of the best quality. The Merln
os , when used for crossing , do not in
crease in size , although the grade ol
wool is better. The Southdown is besi
for use on common flocks , as it is bred
for mutton in preference to wool , and
being hardy and active , the cross ii
less violent than those between Cots
wolds and our small natives. The woo
from the Southdown is not Inferior , be
ing classed with the middle grades , noi
is it deficient in quantity as compared
with common stock , but much abov
the average. Their excellence is in thi
superiority of the mutton , and in tha-
respect they have no superiors.

DISCOVERIES IN PALESTINE.
testilt of Kxcavation for Vienna Acad
emy of Sciences.
Dr. Sellin , prof ; $ sor at the evangeli-
&l theological faculty in Vienna , has
jiven an account of the results of the
ixcavations which he carried out in
Palestine for the Vienna Academy of
Sciences. During a previous visit to
lie holy land he had noticed a large
Hound , or small hill , which he consid-
Ired was probably of artificial origin.
Ind might conceal the remains of
lorne ruined city. Ou his return he
hduced the Academy of Sciences to
provide him with necessary funds to
Ixcavate the site. It lies near the vil-
age of Tanaak , one day's journey from
faffa and three days from Jerusalem.
The permission of the Sultan having
) een obtained , Professor Sellin startul
for Palestine again with the necessary
iquipment , and after some little ditli-
zulty with the people of the locality
began his excavations on March 9 , em-
aloying as many as 150 workmen.
Under the mound no fewer than four
Jastles or fortresses were discovcrvd.
In the middle were the ruins of an
Arabian castle ; on the east a castle
) f the period of King Solomon ; on the
northwest one of a late Israelite pe-
'iod ; while on the west was found the
earliest of them all one of pre-Israel-
Ite or Canaanite date. All the casth-s
tiad been plundered before they were
destroj'od , so that no valuables wore
found , but objects of stone and clay
and weapons were discovered , whuh
issist in fixing the approximate dale
of the various buildings. The Ganaan-
ite castle is the oldest , built of un
hewn blocks of stone , which show no
marks of the chisel. Inside lay frag
ments of images such as are mention
ed in the Bible and also a number of
small ornaments made of stone and
parthenware. mostly representing bee-
Lies , scarabs and other insects and
bearing inscriptions. There , too , wore
some rude weapons and vessels. Tha
professor puts the date of this castlo
nt about 2.000 years before Christ and
suggests that it was destroyed by the
Israelites , perhaps under Solomon , who
proceeded to build their own fortress ,
rhough this second building has also
suffered considerably , enough remains
LO show that it belongs to the so-callod
Solomon castles. In both , curiously
enough , were found idols , vessels and
) ther objects belonging to religious
ites , such as a sacrificial pillar of
stone , with an opening for libations , a
stone altar and the most important
hid of all an earthenware altar in tho
'orm of a throne , adorned with choru-
jim and lions.
This is the only existing roprosonta-
: ion of cherubim of that date. They
ippear as human heads , with a lion'3
) ody and wings.
The late Israelite castle appears to
lave been a fortress only. The Ara-
) ian castle shows more architectural
skill than the others in its arches , etc. ,
ind recalls the style of the period of
laroun-al-Rashid. Vessels and lamps
vere found and inscriptions of a re
igious character. Beneath the ruina
f all the castlos human remains wero
'ound buried with vessels bearing in-
icriptions , while close to the Solomon
astle a cemetery for children socms to
tave existed. Professor Sellin , accord-
