"This crown," roared the cobbler, "won't keep out the cold ; Like many other folks, I'm deceived by the gold. And as for this mantle" and here he fell down "There are more checks about it than Margery a gown." They looked at each other and laughed at the game (And, bad we been there, wo had just done tuo same.) Said tho King, "Lot us both to our stations re turn; , . Putting things to the rroof is the right way to learn." The King died in battle, the cobbler in bed.

Woman's KY IV. I- FRENCH. It was in the early days of Texas, many 'years ago, when the incilents that form this sketch transpired. In one of the small border towns, where the cattle mon of the surrounding country mot to spend their money in drinking and gambling, held forth a gambler, who was known by tho name of Handsome Cleve. If ho had any other namo no onoknewit; or whence ho came. That he fairly deserved the title handsome, none who ever saw the man would deny. Perhaps it was a certain ease and grace in his movements that won him the ap pellation. But he was as heartless as ho was handsome, and though he usu ally bore a polite and gentlemanly de meanor toward all with whom ho came in contact, yet he was known to be the most dangerous man in that section of country in a deadly encounter. Sov eral mon who had given him offence since ho had been in the town had met their death violently at his hand. His skill with tho revolver and his coolness in danger mado most men fear to en counter him in a fight, and as law was laxly administered on tho border in those days, his murderous deeds went unpunished. About this time there drifted into tho place a young man from the East, who, like many another young fellow, had come to the boundless West to mako his fortune, aud like tho others, per haps, he had left behind a sweetheart to mourn his departure and eagerly an ticipate his return. Henry Lester was only 22. Young, and unused to tho wild, reck less ways of the peoplo among whom he had so recently entered, there is little wonder that ho soon encountered trouble. In character he was honor able to a fault and could not brook cowardly, deceitful conduct in another. On the evening of the day 01 his ar rival in the town ho drifted into Hand some Clove's saloon and gambling house, and was soon engaged in watch ing the game closely between Clove, as banker and dealer, on one side, and a dozen cattle men on the other. Cle e was winning all tho larger stakes with ease and letting the smaller ones lose, and, as Lester watched him closely, he detected that Cleve was dealing what is known in gambling parlance as a "brace game." Not for an instant thinking of the danger to himself, ho determined to in form the men about the tablo that they were being swindled, and ho said sharply: "Men, you are being cheated by that fellow; he is not dealing fair," pointing toward Cleve. The men about the tablo looked at the young man in surprise, and several of them hurriedly moved away from the vicinity of the table as though they ex pected" that the bullets would soon bo Hying about there in a reckless fashion. There was no one present that would have made the assertion which he had so boldly spoken except with a weapon in their hand ready for instant use. Much to their surprise, however, Handsome Cleve did not shoot the dar ing young stranger on the spot, he sim ply gave him a sharp scrutiniingglance, and, realizing that the man before him was from the East, and no doubt un skilled in the use of weapons, he de termined to engage in w hat ho termed "a fair light," though nothing could have been more unfair than a duel be tween these two. "You havo made an assertion; now come cut and back it," said Cleve coolly. "I can do that," replied Lester quietly, as ho followed Clove, who had risen and was moving toward tho door. He fully realized the dangor with whioh he was now threatened, and ho wondered much that the men w horn the gambler had been systematically cheat ing did not' punish him for his rascality, but he was not awaro of the power whioh a cool, determined man exercises over a crowd, through the fear in which they hold hi m. "If you have any word for your friends you'd bettor leave it with mo." said a voice at his elbow, as he was about to pass through the door. Henry thought the man had spoken with a view of intimidating or frighten ing him, but the kindly face and look of the man assured him that he was in earnest in what he had said, and Henry replied : "Only that my father be notified if I fall; you will find his address in my in ner coat pocket," and without waiting for a reply he passed outside. The moon was shining brightly, and objects were as plainly visible as they would have been by the light of day. "Are yon armed?" asked Celve abruptly, as they approached the spot where he was waiting. On receiving a reply in the affirma tive the gambler continued: "I shall walk to the post yonder" indicating one some twenty yards away "and when I reach that I will turn and com mence tiring, so be prepared and do not attempt treachery, for the men here know how to punish if "If they did you would have been dead long ago; but have no fears, I am not a cowardly sneak," and he cast a look at Handsome Cleve that said as plainly as words, "If I am not, you are." Cleve bit his lip with anger as he strode toward the post he had designated. Beaching it, he whirled about, revolver in hand, and almost instantly two re ports rang out Lester fell face down ward in the street dead, with a ball' through his brain, while Cleve, without deigning to look at his fellow adversary walked coolly back into the saloon and resumed his place at the gaming table. Lester's body was picked up and car ried into an adjoining building, on the morrow to be started on its journey to his old home, to bring grief and sorrow to loving ones there. One year rolled swiftly by, and Handsome Cleve's gambling den is run ning on, just as of yore. He is at the table to-night, as polite, suave and murderous as ever. He has added two victims to his list since Les ter fell before him, and he is' more feared than ever by those with whom he comes in contact The usual mis cellaneouB crowd surround the table, and many of them are betting freely, in a vain effort to break the bank. Among them is seated a quiet well dressed stranger. Be is of alight stature, with small, regular features and a face as smooth as a girl's. He bets coolly and steadily, and his eyes never wander from the dealer's hands. He starts to his feet as a large sum he has just bet is raked across the table and disappears in the gambler's ever ready drawen Hi's eves flash fire as he says : "That was not" done fair. You are a cheat and a scoundrel." "You lie!" roared Cleve, and his ever ready gun flashed in the lamplight, but for once he was too slow, and the stranger had him covered before he could raise his weapon. There was a scattering from about the table, and the two soon had a little space clear to themselves. "Put up that weapon! demanded the stranger sternly. Handsome Cleve hesitated. It was something he had never been compelled to do before, and now he almost deter mined to run the risk of instant death to overcome his enemy. "Put it up ! Quick.'or you are a dead man!", shouted the stranger as he noticed Cleve's hesitation: Slowly tho weapon was returned to its holster, and Cleve remarked: "You have the drop, and lv'e got to do as you say." Without noticing this remark the stranger thus addressed him: "I suppose 1 have insulted you by what I have said, if such a thing is possible with a man of your stamp. Come outside and we will set tle it. Let ono of these men step off twenty yards and I will give you a hhowfor your miserable life, though you don't deserve it 'Thank you for your kindness," re plied Clevo, whoso spirits readily rose with the prospect of a fight before him. They were soon outside, wherooneof the crowd obligingly stepped off the dis tance and tho two men took their posi tions. They were to hold their pistols ready by their side and at the word fire they wero to commence shooting and con tinue till one or both were killed, for duels in those days on the border were usually fought to the death. Few present believed but what the strauger would meet the fate of all others who had stood before the weapon of Handsome Clove, and that ho with his usual good fortune would escape unharmed. "Fire!" cried the man, who was to give tho word. Two hands Hew up, and two shots rang out simultaneously, aud as the smoke drifted up both principals were seen to pitch forward to the ground. Men hastened to their assistance, but Handsomo Cleve was dead before they reached him. Ho was Bhot through the brain, just as Lester had been. Tho stranger was shot in the breast, and lay with closed eyes, breathing feebly. One of the men stooped down and loosened his clothing at the throat to permit him to breathe more freely. As ho did so he started back with an exclamation of surprise, "Good God, boys, its a woman !" The stranger heard him and slowly opened her eyes and said : "Yes, I am a woman and I am dying; but tell me if he is dead?" "He is," replied several of the men in a breath. "Then my lifo is not sacrificed in vain. Ho -killed my betrothed, Henry Lester, and broke my heart. I vowed vengeance on his slayer, and now that mv vow is fulfilled I am content to die." She lay for a moment quite still and then suddenly stretching out her hands and starting partly up, sne crieu. "Hcnrv, 1 come!" and sank back, was at rest at last. She The Ideal Entertainment. Perhaps the choicest of modern enter tainments is the dinner party, says Harper's Bazar. The smooth rich napery, the costly china, the noiseless service, the well-dressed guests, the well-cooked viands, combined to make up a most attractive scene; yet all these are subservient to another element, and if this bo not present the dinner is a failure. These guests are gathered not to look at fine linen, nor silver pitchers, nor to contemplate each other's clothes, nor even to feast upon tempting food. The prime object of their coming to gether is the interchange and stimulus of thought. There must be talk at the table. The more refined and elevated and sparkling the talk, the more successful the dinner. If the talk lags, if prosy dullness monopolizes the time, if un fortunate topics are brought forward. tho whole entertainment comes to naught. The faculty of fresh, stimu lating, discreet conversation is the most desirable of society accomplishments, and yet how few there aro who possess it. Indeed, how few there are who seem to understand its value, to strive after its requirement for themselves or to teach it to their children. At the meeting of a woman's club, not long ago, for intellectual purposes, two elegantly dressed members of the so ciety, during the hour allotted for social intercourse, discussed their daily diet ! This was not done as a means of im proving that diet, nor for any sort of useful purpose. The menu of dinners eaten during a prolonged attack of dyspepsia formed a juicy bit con tributed by one; the other retailed a list of the dishes in the composition of which her cook excelled. After ono calendar hour spent in variations upon these topics, the ladies fell to discuss ing their new clothes; but the meeting was then called to order, and an essay ist upon Browning took the floor. Tea. Use a china or porcelain pot. If yon Ube metal let it be tin, bright and clean; never use it if the tin is worn off and the iron exposed. If you do you are playing chemist and forming a tannate or tea-ate iron. Use black tea. Green tea, when it is very good, is kept at home. What goes abroad is bad, very bad and horrible. Besides containing the two hundred and three adultera tions the Chinese philanthropist puts up for the outside barbarians, it is al ways pervaded by copper dust from the dirty curing pans of the growers. Infuse your tea, don't boil it Place one tea spoonful of tea in your pot and pour over it one and one-half cups of boiling water. If your tea is poor use more. It is cheaper to buy good tea. Put your tea on the back of the stove, carefully covered, so that it shall not loso its heat nor the tea its bouquet. Let it remain there for five minutes. Don't add milk or sugar. Tea tasters never do; epi cures never do; the Chinese never do, Milk contains fibrin, albumen, or 'some other such stuff, and the tea a delicate amount of tannin. Mixing the two makes the liquid turbid. This turbid ity, if I remember the cyclopaedia aright is tannate of fibrin, or leather. ! People who put milk in their tea are therefore drinking boots and shoes in mild degree. The boy with knee breeches is a poor marble player generally. It is the boy with the baggy trousers, who wipes his nose with his coat sleeve and rubs his hands in dirt before shooting, that has the most nsarli.es in hn jweket. At 1 j ,... 1 I mum tiuui kiii. AGRICULTURAL TOPICS. A FEW SUGGESTIONS Fdft OUR RUrtAfc-ftEADERS; Some lafbrsBatioa or Value to the Farmer, Stock-Breeder, Bee-Keeper, Honsewlt and Kitchen-Maid. THE FARM, v An Oleo Test. - The host and tltnplpst tst ever dovisr-H for touting oleomargarine was given to the tmbtie snnie years ago by Prof. Thojiias Taylor, of the United States Departmonrot. Agriculture. The test is tv easily appfie(T7Trrttfccnsists in eom biningllic ainjtle with sulphuric acid, in the proportion of one grain of" the sub stance to two drops of the acid. When pure butter is eombinrd with sulphuric arid 111 these proportions it changes immediately to an opaque, whitish'yrllow. Within five minutes ft change intolor, beginning at the edg takes placviid it becomes a very pale shade of scarlet. In thirty minutes the color deepens perceptibly. Hut fn-sh oleomargarine, made from beef fat, when treated with sulphuric acid, becomes at first a transparent amber color, and in the course of twenty min utes chances to a deepj;rimson. When the beef OH'O i stale or" decomposing it turns under the acid treatment to a dark opaque brown. Fn-sh ol'o, with a lardbaMS, when first treated changes quickly to a transparent amber, a .hade paler than beef oleo, and in half an hour becomes a deep brown. Itutter oleo mixed will show tints in pro portion to the quantities, of each. Scab on Sheep. Mr. Cass, of Kansas, gives the follow ing on this plague of the flock: Scab is caused by a spider-like parasite called the aearus. It is aearus which produces Itch in man and mange in other animals, but the sheep aearus or scab mite will not live long on any other ani mal. A female aearus will burrow into the skin of a healthy sheep aud within ten or twelve days lay eight to fifteen eggs, which are quickly hatched, and the young in turn are laying eggs within the next ten or twelve days, until within three months the increase from one fe male has according to reliable authori ties, reached the vast number of l,roo, 000. A close observer will detect the first in dications of scab in about two weeks after exposure to contagion. One thorough dipping with tobacco and Milphur. or other safe dip, will kill all living cab mites on the .sheep. A second dipping ten days later will kill all that were un hatched at the fir.M, dipping and leave the flock clean, provided the work ha been properly done. Some, to insure success, give a third dipping ten days later. After the first dipping the sheep must be re moved to fresh, uninfected yards, pas tures, etc., or all will again become in fected. Frost, only, will effectually cleanse a barn, jard, or pastures from the infection of scab. The Art of Slacking. Few understand the art of stacking hay so that rain will not get info the ren ter, says Mr. W. II. Do.me in the Ommjc Juild Fanner. One great enemy to keep ing of hay is the wind, especially in Kan sas. Many time the farmer gels his hay and grain stacked up in good condition, and along comes a gust of wind and all his labor is swept away, as far as the keeping qualities of his Mack is con cerned. Enough hay goc to waste every j ear on many farm to pay for lumber to cover it. In Illinois, years ago. stacks of hay were roofed with three-eighths or five-eighths inchceiliiiir. They were hip 4Vofed, making them as solid as light ma terial could make them; then to hold them in place four l.4 inch posts were s.-t in the ground fourteen feet high, with four plates at tho top to hold the posts in po sition and keep them plumb. Thy roof was placed in position before the posts were sot up. having the corner at the cave ends of the roof gained in to permit the roof to slide iipurdowu on or between the posts. Holes wen bored in the posts to put in pin to hold the roof up. When it is time to begin stacking fasten the roof at the top of the posts anil begin the stack between the posts. Iluild to a finish, or in case there is not enough hay. put in what there is, stopping work on the stack for any length of time, take out the pins and lower .the roof down upon the hay, leaving the hay level, or nearly so. As the stack settles the roof will follow the hay down and protect it from rain and wind. If I were going to build one I should build it for ricks in stead of stacks; it would be cheaper in the long run in cost of lumber and the work generally. Then when not in use as covers for hay they could be used for storage of farm tools, wagons or any thing that should be housed from sun or rain. THE GARDEN. Horticultural Notes. Seeds of any hardy flower of which more plants are desired, are better sown as soon as ripe. The voting plants which come up will bloom the next year. When it is observed that trees planted in the spring have trouble in holding their foliage, mulch them and prune a little more, even if it is late in the season. Wiiii.k trees and plants are growing is th" time to prune them, to make thick bushes of them. It forces out the side branches, giving, perhaps, a half doen for every one that was there before. Common ashes from the house are ex cellent to use on heavy soils. Many changes of a beneficial nature hae been made by their ue. It gives a porosity which it i hard to get in any other way Ccttixos of chrysanthemums rooted in late summer form nice little pot plants for house decoration in eaily winter. Plants which have been grown since spring are often too large for the pur pose. Common poppy seeds sown in half wild places give variety when they grow and flower. Thej re-sow thenisele when once introduced. Several lots of En glish field ioppy seen in situations re cently suggest the thought. CiiuvsAXTiiEMrM uiulticaule is a re cently introduced plant of dwarf habit and bearing buttercup-like flowers. In wet seasons, such as that of last year, the plants rot out badly. Hot summers suit it best. It is an annual and forms a low. thick mass of foliage. Amo.no weeping trees destined to be come ery popular is the Tea's weeping mulberry. There is just enough sweep of the branches as they bend oer to give a pretty outline. The long pendu lous branches soon reach the ground. They should be had on stems of from five "to six- feet to look the best, . kmI covering ot manure about the bae of trees from which better growth is de sired is a creat help to them. Ham wash it down to the root, causing a vigorous growth of branches the follow ing year. THE ORCHARD. Fruit Note. It seems ver nice to tell of having to prop up the limbs of fruit trees to sup port the crop, but it is evidence of lack of knowledge. Such a tree is overloaded, and is being injured by being permitted to carry so much fruit. The Sweet Bough and the Yellow Harvest apples are old sorts, but for regularity of bearing they have but few equals. That they are esteemed is at tested by their being found In every col lection in this part of the country. IT. Tl.v . -nvt nf l!AnAt'fl AT V cqtc that more money is made there from dwarf riPars than from standards, and he thinks this to be the case wherever the soil is of a strong clay loam, as It is there. If planted so that roots are emitted from the pear stock they last a generation. A great many orchardists say that while trees grown In grass are of slower growth than when cultivated, they are almost entirely free of blight. The growth ripens well and is able to resist all fungus attacks. Coolness at the root, which sod produces, is of great benefit to all kinds of fruit trees: Pear bght is le93 abundant In or chards where btit fair growth Is made than among trees forced along by strong manures. Moderate growth well ripened is the best for pears. For this reason in districts where blight abounds the trees are often grown in sod. There is but little pear blight in Pcnnsyl-ania. The trouble with the White Doyenne pear Is not that It will not bear, the fault. ;., Vi. li. w I Will not near, the fault . ewhere, btlt that the" ' lly that not a single , found With it e s fruit cracks sb badly that not a single perfect fnilt ban be. got from a tree. Any other sort grafted on it does well enough, showing that in somo way it is the fruit and not the treo that the fungus attacks which cracks the fruit. Some laugh at the idea of varieties running out, but there is no doubt that a change of plants is of benefit sometimes. Raspberries and strawberries will fail to give satisfaction at times. If the same kinds are brought from distant parts to replace them they do well enough. The same may be said of potatoes. Good varieties of strawberries will deteriorate after some years, and new seedlings have to be depended on. THE HOUSEHOLD. The Care of the Eyes. Troubles of the eye are very common and numerous, and yet for many of them the simplest remedies can bo npplied with the most salutary results. When cinders or other -foreign bodies get into the eye, do not drop in a flax seed or use a key, for these do more damage than the cinder. It might bo almost as well to get a crowbar at once as to use a key. The proper way to get a cinder out of the eye is to draw the upper lid down over the lower, utilizing the lashes of the lower as a broom, that it msy sweep the surface of tho former, and thus get rid of the intruder. Or, gently drawing the lid away from the globe, pass a clean camel's hair brush, or fold of a soft silk handkerchief, two or three times be tween them. This procedure will in nearly all cases suffice; when it does not, the services of a physician are neces sary. It is a remarkable fact that a very minute body will give riso 10 intense pain, and even after it has been extracted the sensation remains for an hour or more. After the intruder is out, gently bathe the lids every fifteen minutes in iced water till the feeling subsides. When the eyes itch, or are a little red, bathe them with a weak solution of salt every few hours, a teaspoonful to a glass of cold water. Should an eye be greatly inflamed and painful, bathing it in hot water will re lieve for the time being. The eye should be kept perfectly clean, pus and other discharges gently washed away with lukewarm water. The other ee may be infected by the discharges, so the affected one should be covered by a light bandage, Kemember that matters from an inflamed eye are infectious, and a person having sore eyes should have his own towels and wash basin, which ought not to be used by any other per son, lest they, too, contract the disease. When the eyes stick together in the morning, a little vaseline applied to the edges of the lids before going to bed is better than all the patent eye-salves in existence. Crusts forming on the edges of the lids may be readily removed by gentle friction with the tips of the fingers dipped in warm water. Advertised nostrums aro usually ap plied without reason, and, like homo made remedies, do more harm than good. A tea leaf poultice applied to the eye by the advice ot a friend has often been the cause of a child being educated in the Klind Asylum. The eye is not a boil, to be drawn out,' but it most assuredly will be injured if the poultice be left on long enough. Of no organ of the human system is the maxim so true as of the eye, that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' Ladies' Ilvmc Jouautl. Hint to HoiiKekeepers. Soiled clothes hould not be allowed to remain in the bedrooms. lhey taint the air and make it impure. Si'kained ankle has been cured in an hour by showering with hot water poumi from a height of a few feet. Common washing soda and boiling water should be used to rinse all the waste-pipes at least once every week or ten das. Am. preparations for waxing floors are heated by setting the kettle containing the mixture into another containing boil ing water. By this means the beeswax becomes incorporated with the turpen tine and other ingredients. No floor will be "sticky" if the wax is properly rubbed in. The best article for rubbing in oil or wax is a parquet brush, such as are sold by manufacturers of parquet floors, anil at large house-furnishing stores. The use of the tooth brush in con nection with powders, washes, or other treatment of the teeth, should be gentle. Itleediuc of the gums i always a danger signal. It shows that the skin has been broken, inviting the absorption into the svstem of any poisonous or foreign mat ters which may be present in the mouth. If the gums are ery tender, a soft brush should lie used, and used very gently, till lhey have hardened sufficiently to with stand more vigorous treatment. Even then, the liability will be to err on the side of harshness. lllD KITCHEN. Choice Hrcipes. Kom. .Iem.i Cakk.
