my how; wouldn't you. Bess?"
So spoke George Sterling. Farmer
Brown's hired man. fo his particular
:-outidant. the hamUotne Alderney cow.
whom he had named "Qtiocn Bess."

jut! tlie young fanner turned his cow
into the pasture, one b one, "Brindle.
Kboiiy. .speckle and Bes," and then
carried the brimming pail into the large,
sool milk-room.
"You're a good milker, George." and
DiJIy smiled up at him as she looked at
the clean, rich milk, "i believe, with
you to help me, I can make some nice
butler ihi uinmer."
It made a pretty picture in the morn
ing unshine. The large, old-fashioned
red farni-hoiie. with window and doors
invitingly open. Mowers and kill trees
brightening and bcautifving the vard
and garden. There were lilac bushes
ami hollyhocks, pinks, poppies, mari
golds and sunllower. fine old New En
gland varieties. Inside the hnue every
thing looked comfortable. The kitchen
was large an 1 air. having two outside
doors oppoite each other and both open
ing on to wide, clean-swept piazzas.
The floors were painted spruce yellow
anil were smooth and clean. An old
fashioned light-tand stood near a win
dow ami on the white spread which
covered it was a b.iket of stockings,
with ball of mending-yarn, and a brass
caudletick. with an inch or two of
candle in it.s socket. A low kitchen
chair with rockers stood near, and the
last week I v newspaper hung over its
back
The breakfast-table would have ap
peared inviting to any one in healthaml
good temper.

for any who wi-hed it.
Did the have napkins and silver
fork? Nr.rV.at'lly1. That is. t'.t; didn't
have the forks. Aunt Sally made such a
tu that, with a'l Dolly'. other burden
she did not think it best to " stand the
torm" w irch would have broken over
her head had she ued every day tie
sacred company silver forks. Dolly wa
ll In ave girl, ami did not yield wnen it
was wrong to yield: but persisted in do
ing as iie ought and endured whatever
came. She had been away for two years,
attending an .-xei41ent school, and the
dut. of clearly and in some sense
beautiful living had been strongly im
pressed upon her bright young mind.
Her mother had died, and now the main
lvspoii-'tiiiity of the housekeeping rested
upo:i the daughter's eighteen-year-old
shoulder, l'oih did many things a
Aunt sally directed, but in the matter ot
napkins j.c was Itrtn. she felt it both a
duty and a pleasure to accustom her lit
tie brother and the young fanners whom
her father hired to refined ways of liv
ing, she hcr-elf was pleasant to look
at. as sin sat r.t the head of the table
(hr fat her wished hor tosit in her moth
er's place), pouring the clear coffee into
pretty cups, a clean iineu collar at her
throat -Mid her hair nicely brushed. A
pa-sing observer would have thought it
a pleasant group gathered around the
table that summer morning farmer
Brown opposite his daughter. Aunt Sally
and Dolly's young brother at one side,
uinl George Sterling, the hired man, at
the other.
" Father. I'm going to put down my
first tub of butter to-day," said Dolly.
"So vou see it's an important dav in mv
life."
Yes. my dear, and I hope you'll gain
the day and put down a good tub: but
sunecl after George has churned and
wahed the butter, the creilit'U boa .rood i
deal due to him if it's good."
"Ye, indei d. father: bo l""in going
to work just a bv:d -.. George does, ami
J''vJ!y Bro-v"-''- butter will be the most
famous butter in the country, you
naughty father."
"You'd better wait till fall before you
brag about youv butter." interposed
Aunt Sally. "If the buyers won't pay
tiothiu for it. you won't feel so line, I
gue."
-Well. I -hall try hard to have it
goo,!." returned Dolly; "and I'm not
going to bother myself all summer by
fearing that the buyers won't pay any
thing for it."
"No, don't fret yourself. I guess if I
didn't skim the milk, you'd find your
butter d be a pretty mcs-. It makes a
sight o" difference how milk's .tkum.
The rest ain't not bin in comparison.
But. then, of coure. nobody in thi
iioiiso never does anything but Dolly.
But I can remember twenty years before
she was born, and there was butter and
ehee-o made in (hem benighted days,
ami in ibis house, too."
"(), well. Aunt Sally." said Mr.
Brown. "Do'.ly's a young housekeeper
and needs encouraging a bit. Mrbbe
bhe'li have a poor tub or two: but, if she.
does the b.-s she can, we shan't titul
fault."
George Sterling said nothing; but he
longed to box Aunt Sally's ears soundly,
and. if his confidant. Queen Bess, had
Ih-eu near, he would have told her that
lie. longed to kiss away the tears that he
saw glistening in Dolly's sweet eyes, as
slie cleared away the breakfast things.
The summer days came and went.
The birds that sang in the trees near
Dolly's chamber window woke her each
morning with tlcir joyous carols, and at
night tiie distance-softened song of the
frogs awa in the meadows lulled her to
sleep. Aunt Sally ro-e early ten morning--
during the entire summer, walked
mate-ticallv into the milk-room and
sKiinmeil ilie milk, loose were nappy

days in the Brown family. The exercise
and the fresh breakfast disposed the
molecules of Aunl Sally's physical sys
tem a little more amicably toward each
oiher, and the spiritual (deration that
often results from a little .-..ilily nxorua.
made life considerably more, enjoyable
to the Krmvn family on those pnrticulai
l:iys than was generally the kkc It

f Jeorge Sterling thought it was no
man's duty, or woman's either, to en
dure such pettv yet enormous trials as
Dolly ami her kind father daily .submit
ted to, and he ami Queen Itesshad many
an omphalic conversation on the subject.
The Queen George found a very interest
ing companion, for .she listened well and
let him do all the talking. He could
talk belter to her than to most of the
ppoplo about him. George had ideas
enough, but, like, "Richard Hathaway."

gone. Dolly, uith her ."Weel ways, had
carried it away, quite beyond recovery.
At tirst he was appalled and troubled;
later, he. grew quiet, resolving to do his
best, ami iloinq it, and so gathering
strength to bear his fortune, whatever it
should be.- He considered Dolly some
what above him, especially in mental
cultivation: and. besides, he wasyoung
and had as yet very little in the world
except excellent, industrious habits and
a kind heart a handsome fortune,
though, let me tell you, m' dear young
lady reader.
The milk-room in the Brown house
was a pleasant place. I'm sure the
daintiest city lady would have thought
it nice. It wa large, clean and cool,
and happy the person whom Dolly gave
a dish of strawberries and allowed to
help himself to some of the sweet, rich
cream. Every evening she looked her
self to the straining of the milk, to be
sure that no particles of dirl were left in
it; but she viou found she could trust
George Sterling.
"Do you wish more light, George?"
she asked, one evening, as he lett her
chair on the south piazza and stepped to
the milk-room door. " Ye, if you
please." answered George. Dolly soon
appeared with a candle, -aying: "Here
is ju.st what you wish for, then.'" and
she smiled brightly as !ic dipped out
some of the warm milk for mixing her
morning's bread. "That is true." said
George: but his evc rested on Dolly,
intead of the candle she had brought
him.
In the early mornings they churned
and worked over the butter together.
It was hard work, but with now and
then an exquisite little passage of poetry
in it. too. When George .-topped for a
moment to rest and take breath. Dolly
would offer, with sweet feeling in her
tones, to churn for a little while, and he
would let her try for a turn or two of the
crank.
"It takes hard turning to get the rich
ness out of things, doesn t it?" said
Dolly, one morning when the butter
came with a little more ditlieulty than
iioiial. "I ummI to think m last winter,"
returned George. "Winter cream is
hard to manage, and then you were not
here to help me," and he looked up at
Dolly with an expression of such intense
appreciation of the state of things when
she mis there to he! him that, thoiurh
s. hardlv itiew it. an added tint glowed
in her bright young cheeks.
"Yes," he went on. "I used to think
some mornings that life to an earnest
man was a good deal like ohurning win
ter cream. Hut then I, for one, shall
keep t.'iming the erank.
He spoke quietlv and with a smile, but
Dolly felt, with an instant thrill of pleas
ure, that strength and excellence were
near and ready to serve her.
Tin' summer passed. The lloor of the
butter-cellar was nearly covered with
well-tilled tub. A little before the time
for selling Farmer lirown had been
called y a distant western State, on ac
count of the sickness of his only and
widowed sister. He was detained sev
eral weeks, and finally wrote to George
that they must do the best they could
with the butter and no longer rely upon
him to attend to it. On the evening aftet
they had received the letter two neigh
bors called and reported that thry had
sold for thirty cents a pound. The even
ing papers had reported only twenty
seven cents as the latest price, and they
advised the Browns not to sell for a few
days, etc.
During the evening, as the two men
were talking, there were occasional in
dications that a storm was about to break
over the luckless members of the Brown
family. There were low mutterings ol
thunder, a few short, sharp Hashes ol
lightning, and now and then a barbed
arrow tlew through the air.
A great hero ries to the occasion ami
Aunt Sally rose. The family were lefi
alone about nine o'clock. Dolly wentti
the kitchen to make some preparation
for the morning's breakfast. AuntSall
followed, with heavy, threatening step-
Have you noticed how lovelv tht
moonlight is. Aunt Sally," akcd Dolly.
"Moonlight! What do you a1 pose 1
care 'bout moonlight when the buttei
ain't sold? 'X' 1 know jest how 'tw'll
be. 'T won't be sold' t all: 'tw'll stay
in the sillier all winter, 'n' we shan't gil
tifteeu cents a pound for it. I should
thought vouaud George'd known enough
to 'tended to it 'fore this time. Xevei
see such a tarual easv set as this family
all be."
"Why. Aunt Sally," answered Dolly,
"it hasn't been a week since the Smith
sold. Buyers generally come along about
this time. Father most always sells t4
some of them, you know. I don't think
we need worry about it."
"No. you won't worn-, I'll warrant.
Xo danger of anybody's worryin in this
house, but me. I don't s'pose. if tht
house was burnin' down, one of ye'd
stir, unless ye was pulled out by main
strength. Talk alwiut your father! Whc
over knew Aim to do anything? 'Still o'
stayin' to home "n mindin his own
bu-iness, he must go galavantin' off tc
Kansas, to sac his sister, 'cause she
happened to be sick. What if she hain't
no husband? Folks have to die. I s'pose.
What'd she ever do for Aim. Til like tc
know. 'F she was wuth a million o'
''oney, I don't s'pose she'd give 'im a
cent."
"Well, I guess to-morrow mornino
George '11 know what to do. and we'd
better go to bed now. Aunt Sally. I'm
very tired."
"George! What'll he know about it.
and what'll he care, 'f he loes know?"
"Would you like this candle. Aunt?"
"What do you keep talking to rat
'bout candles for? 'F I wanted a candle,
couldn't l git it. Go to bed, 'f you want
to. I don"": expect iou'll eare whethei
the butter's ear sold or not."
Dolly knew that it was no use to reply,
so she took her caudle and went to her
little chamber over the sitting-room.
She tried hard to sleep, knowing tliat
breakfast must bo ready early and that
no hands but hers would prepare it.
About two o'clock Aunt Sally burst
into tr.e rocm. her cap-strings flying and
her teeth rattling. Evidently she had
not been in bed at all.
"Dollv." she called, in loud reproving
tones, "it s raining ham.
..:..:.... i...i if
"What is it. Aunt Sallv?
Are you
"It's raining hard, I tall you. Don't
vou hear it?"
"Well, what if it iaP I can't help it.
What harm will it do?"
"What harm will it do? Doyoua'poM
folks will come to buy butter in a driving
rain'."'
"But it may not rain to-morrow, Aunt
Sally. Why. it's only two o'clock. The
shower must have come up verv sudden-
-'
"What if it don't rain to-morrow.
The road'! be all iim I kiMe-deep.
Nobody 'd come through such moaa
mud's we have to look at butter. They'd
be fools 'f thev did. It's jest as I said.
The butter won't be sold 't all. You'd
know yourself 'twouldn't be, 'f you want
deaf s an adder and blind as a bat."
"Aunt Sally, I think this is a little too
much. Ii very tired and I want you
t?b go right out of my room and leave tue
to sleep."
"I shall go out o this rKtu jest 's
quick s I'm mind to, 'n' no quicker, 'n'
the more you talk about it the more I
shan't go. AnylxHly'd think, to hear
you tallc, that you did all the work in
this house. Who's skimmed the milk
all .summer, I'd like to know? I spoe
you think the butter' d come all the same,
skimmiu' or no skimmin'; 'n' now we
shan't sell a pound, 'n' we shan't have
mote enough to keep from staivm' to
de:t'h n lei cIoIIum tocott't our na.ked
tie . lint lucre one thing about it. I
-.ii I pinch "n' be ccononiical a bit
longer. I II spend every dollar I'm
miti-l to. Wbii "t out: o' thetn oily
buyer .-' '.-'' come in the pouring rain?
We should ft know whether to trust im
or not. I wouldn't let 'im touch the
butter unless he paid the money down.
vFs jest the meanest thing tint ever
happened sense the world begun that
we" didn't go to S a weet ago'n'
see 'bout sellin' it, 'n' not wait tin this
time; 'n' "f we don't git thirtv cents,
jest's the rest o' the neighbors have, I
shan't never want to show my face out
side this house again, 'n' the' shan't one
o' the family. f can help it."
But Aunt Sally at length ran down,
and Dolly knew that, unless she had a
strong cup of tea or a little sleep, she
wouhtu t be in running order again for
several hours, ami she prepared to enjoy
herself accordingly. By six o'clock she
was busy preparing breakfast, running
out "between tiiiics" to freshen her heart
with a look at the pink and purple morn
ing glories that grew up over the south
piazza. She wa as bright and pleasant
to her little brother as though her night's
rest had been untroubled and tilled with
sweetest dreams. The prospect for a
cosy, quiet breakfast was brightening
when half a dozen geese, smitten with
total depravity, walked hurriedly toward
the house and held one of their most
spirited con vers.it ions directly under
Aunt Sajly's chamber window. They
couldn't have been more excited if they
had been discussing the family butter
and its prospects.
Dolly had just served the coffee and
taken a sip or two out of her own cup,
when the sitting-room dooropeue 1, ami
out walked Aunt Sally, looking quiet but
ominous. She drew a chair to the lire
ami sat black and silent for five minutes.
"Did the geese wake vou up. Aunt
Sally'.'" asked Willie, 'lollies little
brother.
"Wake me up! Guess they'd awaked
anybody up that wan't dead. If I was
a boy big as you be. I'd keep geese in
their places; but. nobody iu this family
over sees to anything or ever will."
"Won't you have some coffee, while
it's fresh ami hot. Aunt Sallv, asked
Dollv.
Xo, I don't want notion', hot nor
cold. I feel perfectly sick this morniu',
jest's I knew last night I shun d feel; and
I've got to have the doctor right straight
off and have something to take. Here's
a whole mouth gone, 'if I hain't had but
two quart bottles of medicine. 1 had to
lay awake all night and think about the
butter. I'knew if I didn't nobody else
would. It'll take me down siek. I feel
tills morning jest's if I was going to
have the typhoid fever, 'if I glial I have
it. too. If had anything to do about
things, I should go right off this, nioni
iif and see 'bout sellin' that butter: but.
of course, what I think'-? notion' iu this
house and nvcer was."
The group at the table were silent;
only iKJvvaud then saying a word or two,
as they served each other.
Dolly felt the essential vulgarity of all
family contentions, ami, in general, slu;
answered nothing to Aunt Sally's foolish
tirades, which wore much more frequent
in Mr. Brown's absence.
George Sterling left the room as
quickly as he could, and Dolly followed
him to the piazza, where they talked a
minute over what had best be done.
"George will drive down to S
and see what lie can do with the butter,"
Dolly said, as she returned to the kitchen.
But Aunt Sally deigned no reply. She
rose and walked into the more genteel
part of the house and was not seen again
for several hours. The occasional slam
ming of doors ami windows testified to
her existence.
In the afternoon George returned, and
told Dolly that he could contract the but
ter for but twenty-five cents. The
markets were full for a few days; but
her father's friends had advised him to
wait a little, as thev thought it would be
up to thirty cents again.
Several days passed ami the question
of butter was sill unsettled. Dolly was
busy with her work, hardly getting a
minute to peep into the new H-trper
which George had brought from the
post -office. One day she put two of her
delicious custard pies into the oven to
bake, and then went up-stairs for a tf.w
minutes, to make beds. Aunt Sally,
meanwhile, walked into the kitchtn,
which she found "cold as a barn."
built up a hot lire, and sat down by the
stove. When Dolly returned, she smelt
a strong odor of burning pastry, and,
opening the oven-door, found that her
pies were completely ruined.
"Why. Aunt Sally," said she, "didn't
you smell my pies burning?"
"Smell urn!" ret urneu Aunt Sally.
"Xo, I didn't, 'n I thanH smell not hi n"
more till the bnttir'.s sold." And she
inarched off into the sitting-room u
though her dignity had been offended.
" What a pity Dickens didn't know
Aunt Sally," thought Dolly, as she went
about making some more pies.
Mr. John Sterling. George's father,
always sent away his butter to a certain
city firm, whose chief memler had, as a
boy. been brought up in the family of
John Sterling's father. The Sterling's
knew the lirm well and knew that it was
trustworthy. (Jeorge, therefore, suggest
ed to Dolly that he write to his father's
friend. Mr. Ftiruess. and ask his adrice
about the butter thev had to sell.
He wrote, and in a short time a letter
came, advising the Browns to send their
butter on. It would surely net them
twenty-eight cents ami perhaps thirty.
Mr. Furuess promised to do the best he
could.
The matter was talked over with Aunt
Sally, and. after much tribulation all the
tubs, with their golden weight, were put
into the cars anu sent to the city. The
day on which it was carried out of the
yard Aunt Sally's final blast was as fol
lows: " There! That bitltcr 'II never
come back. 'n' I shouldn't wonder a mite
'f the money never did; ii' who's goin'
to pav for the freight 'n' tear 'it old
Harry 'n' all on it. I'd like to know?"
Half of Aunt Sally's predictions proved
tnie. The Browns never did see their
butter again; but they saw twenty-nine
cents for each pound.
Aunt Sally thought that the social de
gradation resulting from getting one cent
a pound less than their nearest neighliors
ought to make every one of the Brown-i
utterly ashamed, and the number of
things the family would actually suffer
for because they had lost twelve dollars
was astounding.
About the middle of November Mr.
Brown returned, bringing with him his
iister, a woman of kind heart and strong
nharacter.
Before a week had gone by, Dolly felt
that i he burden of Tier daily life was
aauch lighter with Aunt Elizabeth to
cheer and help her. She found moro
leisure to assist her young brother in his
studies ami to read her own dearly loved
books and magazines.
The winter, with its long, cosy even
ings ami its merry slcigh-rides, was over
before they had enjoyed it half enough,
Dolly thought, ami the birds were sing
ing again aiming the trees that shaded
the hou-e. T.ie old butternut tree be
hind the long row of barns had largo,
handsome leaves once more.
One Sunday afternoon Dolly took a
book and went to sit in the shade of the
old tree, just as she had often done ever
since she was a little girl. The book
was "John Halifax, Gentleman," and
somehow, as she read and became more
and more interested in the character of
the hero, she was startled to find herself
thinking of George Sterling. The tones
of voice she read of: the kind, searching
eyes; the erect, firm bearing she knew
them all. They were near her. They
hat! often quietly cheered and strength
ened her.
A slight noise from the stone wall op
posite made her look up. There were
the very eyes, looking straight into h"io.
"Why. George! How came you here?"
"I've been home, and came back
aero-. the fieliN. Its only three miles,
you know, coming across. You looked
perfectly happy a I come up. What
are you reading?"
"John Halifax," answered Dolly.
"Do you know the book?"
"Yes, well; and I'm glad you're read
ing it."
"Why? Will it help me to make
nicer butter?"
"That's just it. After a person reads
it, he feels that he's got to do his best in
whatever work he's called to, and help
along people about him 's well's as he
can.
"That's tine praise," said Dolly.
"Have 5'ou been to the post-otlice? I see
you have a letter.".
"This came yesterday. I've been
wanting to show it to you," and George
took the letter from its envelope and
handed it to her, at the same tirae sitting
down on the rock by her side.
The letter was as follows:
Mr Dek Geokor Stkklino: "Ourflrm
will piobably buy more butter tbiiH usual next
fall and we want to secure as rn.iur tine lots as
wssible. Can you send us another twelve
hundred pounds as jrood as that was which
vou -ent us List year? We'll promise to pav
the highest price in the market for the next
ten years, if yu'll send Us butter like that.
f'liMse let us lurur from you soon.
"Very truly yours, F. K. Fitkxess."
"Do you remember telling your father
that you meant Dolly Brown's butter to
be" famous?" asked George, as she
finished reading.
"But I'm a -raid you won't stay with
u ten years," said Dolly, smiling.
"And, if we h idn't had you to take eare
of the cattle, milk, and churn so well,
etc., I'm afraid the fame of our butter
would never have gone abroad."
" It follows, then, that we ought to
make butter together, doesn't it?" said

" f think it does," said Dolly, trying
to look unconscious. "So you'll have
to stay till the ten years are up," and
she closed her book and half rose, as if
to go.
" Don't go just yet, please," said
(Jeorge, as he took her hand and drew
her back, with a gentle yet firm pressure.
"There is something I wish to tell you.
I have thought that my brother would
stay at home, take care of father and

Brown. I want her. too, very much.
Dolly, won't you come?"
She looked up slowly, with tears in her

likeJohn Halifax?"
"I'll trv," said George, solemnl'.
"Ami you? Wrill you be like Ursula?"
"I too, will try," she answered.
"And we'll make butter together."

through her tears.
Dolly would never have left her father
and young brother to the care of stran

F.lizahcth had noon sent as a special
providence, so that Dolly might come to
him.
Aunt Sally's value is still, on the whole,
an unknown quantity. And yet who

answer than any of us think. She is said
to be really gentle and loving to Dolly's

Rheumatism.
Common rheumatism is a disease
which affects the joints, the hinges of
the body, in such a way that the slight
est motion of the ailing part gives pain.
A creaking hinge is dry, and turns hard.
A single drop of oil to moisten it makes
a wonderful change, and it instantly
moves on itself with the utmost facility.
All kinds of rheumatism are an inflamma
tion of the surface of the joints. In
flammation is heat: this heat dries the
surfaces: hence the very slightest effort
at motion gives piercing pain. In a
healthy condition of the parts. Nature is
constantly throwing out a lubricating
oil. which keeps the joints in a perfectly
smooth and easy-working condition.
Rheumatism is almost always caused by
indeed, it may be nearer the truth to
say tliat it is always the result ofcold
dampness. A dry cold or a warm tlanii
ness does not induce rheumatism. A
garment wetted by perspiration or rain,
or water in any "other form, aliout a
joint, and allowed to dry while the per
son is in a state of rest, is the most com
mon way of causing rheumatism. A
partial wetting of a garment is more apt
to induce an attack than if the entire
clothing were wetted, because, in the
latter case, it would be certainly and
speedily exchanged for dry garments.
There are two very certain methods of
preventing rheumatism. The very mo
ment a garment is wetted in whole or in
part, change it, or keep in motion suffi
cient to maintain a very slight perspira
tion, until the clothing is perfectly dried.
The failure to wear woolen flannel next
to the skin is the most frequent eanse of
rheumatism; for. a common muslin or
linen or silk shirt of a person iu a per
spiration becomes damp and cold the
instant a puff of air strikes it. oven in
miil-summer. This is not the case w hen
woolen flannel is worn next the skin.
The easiest, most certain and least
hurtful way of curing this troublesome
affection is, first, to keep the joint af
fected wound around with several folds
of woolen flannel: second, live entirely
on the lightest kind of food, anch as
coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries, boiled
turnips, stewed apples and the like. II
such things were eaten to the extent of
keeping the system freely open, and ex
ercise were" taken, so that slight
moisture should be on the surface of the
skin all the tirae; or if in bed, the same
thing were accomplished by hot teas and
plentiful bed-clothing, a grateful relief
and an ultimate cure would very certain
ly result in a reasonably short time.
Without this soft and moist and warm
condition of the skin, and an open state
of the system, the disease will continue
to torture for weeks and months and
years. Inflammatory rheumatism may,
for all practical purposes, be regarded
as an aggravated form of the common
kind, extended to all the joints of the
body, instead of implicating only one or
two". Eor all kinds, time, 'flannel,
warmth, with a light and cooling diet,
are great remedies. HalPa Journal of
Health.
There are those who think time is
out of joint because it cannot turn and
go backward.
When to Cotnincnrp Trer-riantim;.
It is the desire of the farmer, says the
Chicago Tun-.", ".o hae a large num
ber of trees matur" iV once and to com
mence to p.oduce Jnio at the sa'ne
time." Even to many farmers whose
furrow's are not strai lit and who.-e
fences are in a dilapidated condition, the
sight of an orchard with trees of differ
ent ages and not in "bpe lines," would
cause feelings of disgust. It is to be
considered whether this demand for or
der and uniformity by most farmers is
not a mistake and at" the expen-e of
years of enjoyment of the fruit and to
the detriment of the vulue of the or-
ohard.
It is not to be denied that where
wealth is in abundance ami leisure to
devote to the details of fine orchard
management, the setting of the whole
orchard at once is a desirable thing to
do. In such cases, it would be attend
ed with no particular danger, and to
most people the beauty of the orchard
would be much enhanced. The labor
of caring for such an orchard would
be greatly incrensed at first, but in the
end would be Ic-s. But for the majoi-
ily of farmers who comineiiee their oper i
ntions ith little mean, ami who nave
to struggle along tor a number of years
to make sure of their title to the soil
which they ciillivatc.it is an impossi
bility to commence their orchard opera
tions early if they insist on setting all
the trees "at one time. They have not
the money with which to purchase the
trees; the land may not be cleared, and
their time is too fully occupied with
gaining a bare livelihood to permit them
to enter into extensive Unit manage
ment. Hence the questiou arises, shall
such a farmer wait a number of years
doing without fruit entirely, or shall he
set out a few trees each year in as fine
order as possible, and iu the end have
an orchard somewhat irregular in ap
pearance as to rows and size of trees?
The average farmer will sav wait, his
hon-or of unsyrametry in the orchard
overcoming all other considerations.
It is well to take into consideration
that a large orchard of voting, growing
trees is an extremely dillicult thing to
manage, i nere are so many uuenii.

are experts, the conditions of their suc
cessful growth are -o iutrica.cuml seem
ingly changeable, that they become al- j
most an " elephant" even on the hand i
of one wl has spare time and means:!
and the many orchards iu our vicinity. I
the trees ot winch were set out at once
and in perfect or !er, that are now con
sidered failures iu '.eautv an 1 it: urlh.
atte-t not so much to th laziness ot the j
owners (to which they are generally ,
attributed) as to the great d.tln ulty and
almost impossibility of bringing fo a
successful termination such un under
taking. The orchard at the Agricult
ural College is considered a failure, and j
there is some talk of tearing it up, root
and branch. The many reasons given j
for the failure are undoubtedly correct: j
there was poor soil, poor management,
and insutneient means; but it exaetlv !
illustrates the point which we wish to
make. If the Agricultural College fails
in making a beautiful and paying
orchard by starting it at one time, how
can the average farmer, wiio certainlv
has no better soil and much less .skill
and means, hope to succeed?
Ihe fanner should, as early as po.si- i
ble. put out a tew truit tree-, ami add to .
them year after year until his orchard is
as large as he desires. There are many
advantages resulting from this met ho '
over that of waiting and setting all a, i

Morning Wrappers.
At the Unit, furnishing houses white.
1 striped and barred muslins are used for
plain morning wrappers. lliey are
made in Gabrielle shape, with fullness
shirred in belcr the middle forms of
the back, and are trimmed with ruffles
, of polka-dotted embroidery with scal-
loped edges. More dressy wrappers are
of silk surah in pale blue, rose, or
cream white shades, with festooned
paniers around the hips, giving the ef
fect of a Marguerite waist. Four plaits
' very deeply folded are down each side
of the front from the neck to the foot.
I where they meet a bias tlounce shirreil
' aud edged irith Mirecourt lace at top
and bottom. The paniers. wide collar '
aud cuffs are trimmed with lace : bows
of moire ribben are down the front
Polka-dotted foulard of dark wine-color '
or navy blue is al-o used for wrappers,
and trimmed v;th white muslin em
broidery in Irish point designs, or else
the creamy mull done in open star pat- '
terns. Scotch gingham wrappers have
gathered rullles of the material edged
with Hamburg-work, and are usually
made of the solid-colored gingham,
either pink, pale blue, or but!'. Lower
priced wrappers are of the domestic cot
ton Cheviots with stripes of pink and
blue together, or blue or brown with
white, and are trimmed with colored
embroidery on the collar, cull's and
pocket Summer flannel wrappers for
using at the seaside or mountains have
half-inch stripes of red, blue, green and
ecru, like the Cheviot stripes ; these are
of the simplest shapes, with the edges
scalloped and bound, or else wrought in
button-hole stitch. The cashmere wrap
pers are of pale shades, with open-work
embroidery of the same shade cut from
the selveges, or else they are moie sim
ply trimmed with a tufned-over collar
and cull's of embroidered muslin. The
small buttons down the front are wooden
molds, nearly flat, as large as a silver
half-dime, and covered with the cash
mere. For invalids' gowns and for bath
wrappers blankets are cut into shape, '
and the border of the blanket fttrn'shes
the trimmings. Blue aud ro-e-colored
blankets are prefen-ed for these, but
there are also white blanket wrappers
with gay borders. Harper's Bazar.

The fate of the French Expedition
which was engaged in exploring the
basin of the La Plata, under the leader
ship of Dr. Crevaux, is one of the most
melancholy sacrifices to science. Ac
cording to the latest news, which the
Consul -of the Argentine Republic in
Tapiza received from Tavija, the
whole company of nineteen men were
butchered by Indians of the Tobas tribe.
The expedition had not long before left
Rio de Janeiro, where they were received
with the wannest sympathy by the
Emperor of Brazil. A dispatch" from
them, dated January 1.5, stated that they
had come across the ruins of an old Inca
town, a few kilometers from Salta. On
January 24, they ware arrested by an
over-zealous Argentine official in the
village of Huniachuaca; but after making
an inquiry he released them, and per
mitted them to go forward along their
intended route. It is possible that the
news of their arrest may have reached
the native tribe, and aroiised a suspicion
a to their purposes. They hail just as
cended the Pilcomayo only a few days
later, when the Tobas fell upon them and
slaughtered every member of the expedi
