She lived with her friend and her mother, and made just enongh moae to pay her board, with an ooca aioaaf frock and pair of shoes to keep herself looking nice. This was all the story, and, no donbt, a true one. At the door of the toy-shop be bade them good-night, promising to oome round soon again and take them out to the play, perhaps.

Marnerite was ve load of pictures, thonjth she kne nothing of them.

He grew tobe quite fond in a sedate, elderbrotber fashion of Marguerite. She waa so simple-minded, so open, so artlessly ignorant, and so pretty.' Actually, he began to think that she was prettier than any girl he knew, and aha was always so neat and dainty in her old clothes. They fitted her like wax, and there was a touch, an air, an indefinable something about every thing she put on which made it look as it pertaining and belonging to her-. self. A knot of violets in ner belt made her more stylish than a Worth costume woald have made an ordinary girl; a dotted veil to the tip of her nose im parted an air of elegance to her whole, figure. Her old. worn gloves always fitted her little hands, and the toes of her beet patent-leather shoes, that twiakeled below the hem of her skirt how email and pointed they were! She waa the best of oompany, with her amaaing chatter. When be told her of the pictures at the Metropolitan, she fixed law big, brown eyes on him inn steady gtaace of deep attention, under which he grew eloquent, and said all manner of brilliant, clever things.

The star of hw soul cenarally looked bored and drowsily in different when ha began to discourse. bomeumee ne was perturDed in Ms mind by noting, in these glances, some thing pensively melancholy something wistfully tender, it made him uneasy. He did not want to disturb Marguerite's peace of mind; be did not want to make this humble conquest He salved his conscience with the though that he had never tried to make her fond of him. If she had singed her wins hovering round a candle, he had singed his wings hov- ering round a star. In the middle of October, the star suddenly returned from Bar Harbor and Lenox, In truth, she was a little un easy at the way things were going. Be cause she had been rather cool to her beat man, when he came to Bar Harbor in August, was that any reason why he should never have come again? He had written very seldom, and then in a placid, friendly key that was not a bit the way it ought to be. She got rather sulky, aad then secretly alarmed. He was going back on her; he was going to pay her off in her own coin. "I am sick of these horrid hotels and detestable cottages," she said, one day, to her mother, when her fears had reached a climax; "let us go back to to town and try and get civilized again." So they went back. When the young man heard of her re turn, everything else went out of bis head, On the way up to pay his re spects at the shrine, he suddenly re membered that he had promised Mar gaerite and her friend to take them to see Otero dance that evening. He had enough compunction left not to let them expect him, so be stopped at a messenger-station, scribbled an excuse on a scrap of yellow paper, and sent it down to Marguerite on Fourth Avenue, above the toy-store. The week afterward, he sent her two tickets to see Otero, end ue ver thought of her again. She did not remind him of their sudden broken friendship, and seemed content to be forgotten. She mast have seen his engagement in the peper, and worked this present for the bride of her old friend. It wai un doubtedly Marguerite who had left it ia a sailor-hat and with a fresh com plexion." Her cheeks had been liken Mash-rose under the dotted veil she wore, when she was in gala attire. It did not cross the mind of the fiance that his old friend was prettier than bis new lore, bat aha was. Especially now, whan the new love stood looking, still dark and sour, at the embroidered It was a very innocent aad harmless story, yet she did not like it mueh.

Every farmer of ordina ry penetration of mind will admit the troth of the adage. Yet how many farmers when they come to consider a remedy for lack-of sneeess ever admit the ap plication of the adage and go to work to make the man risht first Every farmer Is supposed to be working hard for success.

When the farmer is willing to buy his knowl edge, just as he docs his tea, coffee, and groceries, and pay for it just as freely, then, and not till then, will he hold an even hand with other callings In society.

They should be built with an outside, shallow box to catch the clover leaves and brotten hay and to hold grain when feeding! The frame of the bottom of the rack shoild be of sufficient strength to allow it to be moved without damage. Top may be lightly formed of inch strips bored to take whips cut fom the woods. In the great sheep feeding districts of England, racks mounted on wheels are found use ful. They enable the shepherd to change the place of foddering without too much labor, more equally distributing the manure and saving time in going to and from the stacks. The axles of an old carriage may be used to serve a good purpose here,or wood axles will do. Two thicknesses of lumber nailed together crosswise to prevent spliting, and sawed Into discs will make good wheels. Any thing that will save fodder and the feeder and benefit the flock will soon re pay its cost HolllzUx Sage, In Farm and Home. LIVE STOCK. Fewdlaa; Heraea. With horses, more than any other class of stock, it pays to cut and grind the feed. Ground grain is tho cheapest form in which nutriment can be given to the working teame. In order to se cure the best results in feeding ground feed it will be quite an Item to mix with cut bay, straw, or fodder. To feed corn meal alone there is always a risk that it will compact in the stomach and prove more or less indigestible. Mixed with some kind of rough cut feed makes it more porous and less liable to do this. Overfeeding will impair the digestion, and is really more injurious than not focd ing enough. Horses require less bulky food than other classes of stock. During the winter they need some grain. If the corn and oats can be ground together and a small quantity of oil meal be added, and then tho hav or fodder be cut and all mixed together, a good ration can be made up that will be healthy and nutritious. Oats abound in nitrogenous, or muscle forming materials, and for this reason can always'be fed to work teams and growing colts to advantage. Sheaf oats run through a cutting box, and a small quantity of bran and oil meal, make one of the cheapest and best foods that cau be supplied to horses. They onght never to be fed more than they will eat op clean at each meat, and will thrive better if thev are given a good variety. Grinding the feed lessens the waste and gives better opportunity of making up complete rations than when everything is fed whole. A good ration of the right kind of food will give much more satis factory results than an 'over feed of ether materials. It is not necessary that stock should have roughness before them nil the time. And by cutting and mixing with the ground grabs a good ration can. be made np that will lessen the waste, and also I the cost Horses should be kept in good I condition, not necessarily fat but thrifty, but at the same time' it is desirable to do this as economically as possible, whether the animals are kept for work, growth. , or breeding It does aot pay to lessen I the expense of keeping by allowing them i to run down in condition. 1.1a lm More plainly and still more plainly from week to week is demonstrated the fact that the great runs of cattle ia the West and elsewhere are .pressing more hardly upon every branch of the cattle . huKinMi than the rineaiajr of choice beeves.

A KtMnntsr WlciMmt iee. The following Is my method of keeping nice, hard butter, fresh meats, etc., in the hottest weather, says J. W. Harsh- barger. ia the Prac tical Farmer. First I arranged the pump and platform of my well so as to have a clear opening of 3 feet by 13 inches, then placed a box of cor responding size over it 4 feet high, with slope enough to turn water, and rubber felt for roof The door Is 2 feet Widei And 3 feet 7 Inches high, and hung 8 Inches from left hand end. Windlass shaft 3X inches in diameter, with cogs on right hand end, and spring ratchet to hold it at any given point Next is the cage, made of five-eighths lumber except the top board, which Is one Inch. Cage Is 21 inches wide, 3 feet 3 inches high, and 10 inches deep, with four shelves. It Is open in front except a two inch strip on each side, and an extra piece under the center, where the rope aoes tnrougn. Then two pieces 2x4, 16 feet long, are nailed to cross piece, 4x412 Inches long, for the lower end, hung in well, and top nailed to platform joists, 21H inches apart At each lower end of the cage are two blocks nailed on, so as to receive the 2x4, and serve as a guide for cage. Use rope five-eights of an inch thick, and about 30 feet long, With one end fastened to cage, which weighs 35 lbs., and a balance weight of 48 lbs. at the other end, and rope so adjusted on shaft, that when the cage comes up, the weight goes down. This makes it work with perfect ease, even when there is an additional weight of 30 fts. in cage. Box, cage and rope, are all thoroughly painted inside and out My wife say? she would not take $500, and do without it THE APIARY. Caxefally Bred Been. There is a great difference between the worth of bees that have been bred up for many years by a skilled apiarist and those that are in box-hives, that have never given any surplus. I should pre fer the former at a good price Instead of the latter as a gift The Italian bees are superior to the blacks In every way, un less it Is in. capping the honey to show white. I sometimes think this is caused by their working on the alsike and other plants that the native bees are unable to obtain honey from on account of their inability to reach it Probably the honey gathered from the same flowers by each race wonld be the same. They are never idle. I have observed them when taking flights in mid-winter busily engaged in house cleaning when colonies of natives close by the side of them were only en- iovintr themselves on the wing. Their marked superiority is during poor seasons, progeny of cross-bred full-blood Italians. I more noticeable Some think the queens equal to prefer the pure Italians In every respect as they cross breed soon enough with neighbors' bees. Stockman. materia Beea, October is the best month in which to prepare colonies for their long winter re pose. If short of stores they shonld be given granulated syrup. If fed early enough the bees will have this food put into the combs and sealed over before cold weather. For wintering an under ground cellar is best as the temperature is even. It should bo well ventilated, should have few or no vegetables in it and sawdust should be kept on the floor to absorb the moisture. The hives ought to be raised from the bottom boards at least one Inch to secure circulation of air. If the bees get uneasy the hives shonld be lifted from the bottom boards at least once a week to prevent foul odors from rising into the hive and cans ing disease. Field and Farm. THB POULTRY YARD. Dea'c Staff tha The capacity of a heu Is limited. If yon clog the machinery it will not work well If you fill her with food that is un suitable she will only store up the sur plus, waiting for the substances that are necessary to complete the product and In so doing she does not lay. Food that Is unbalanced will, of course, be readily eaten, but nature cannot be cheated. The excess will be voided and wasted; or if it abounds in the heat-producing ele ment (the cheapest and most easily pro curfd), she has the power to convert it into fat which Is an obstruction to lay ing; but when ber ration is balanced, she is compelled to lay eggs, because she can not store up a supply in any manner over and above the requisite amount re quired for the eggs. Farm and Fireside. THE HOUSEHOLD. Maklas Beddlac. A good many housekeepers seize tho interval before the house cleaning time to make up bedding. Almost everyone knows how to make a cheesecloth com fortable, than which nothing at the same small expense is so pretty, light and de sirable. But while a great many may know how to make one, they may not know how to manage with the cotton, so that it is nearly as light as eider down, says an exchange. To make a very thick comfortable take five one-pound rolls ol cotton batting, unroll it care fully and hang on a clotheshorse in front of a register or hot fire. Let it get just as hot as possible, taking care that it docs not burn. The heat separates the minute fibres, causing the cotton to ex pand to nearly twice its original bulk. Cnt the cheesecloth into lengths of- about two and a half yards each, two widths being enough for each side. Pink and baby blue make a pretty com bination. If the blue is to be taken for the under side, spread it after sewing to gether, very smoothly on a bed or some other convenient place. Next lay the cotton batting on lengthwise, cutting it the same length as the cheesecloth; it will be found to be about the same width. The next layer should go on crosswise, the next lengthwise, and so on till all Is used. Spread the pink cover very smoothly over the whole and tuft it with pink woorsted, button-hole stitching around the edge with the same. Coverlets made of white cheesecloth can be washed successfully if they are dried quickly in a bright sun and the four corners of the quilt pinned to the clothesline, spreading it out horlsoataliy.
