HER FIRST MESSAGE, Ned Dubois wa? not at all pleased with tho surroundings when ho and his pretty littlo wifo alighted from the train at the Pincvillo depot. Ho blood as if undecidod which way 10 go and cast a wistful glance in the direc tion or tnc swiftly disappearing cars; just in front of them was tho depot, and a hundred yard or so further on a neat co y cottage rested upon tho trow of a gently sloping hill; in the distance, perhaps a mile or so away, could be seen tho housetops of l'ino ville proper. I didn't expect such a placo as tins." he said. It'll be awful on you. sweetheart.' ' A cheery laugh burst from the wifo as Ned's lucrubr'ous tones fell npon her cars. and. darling a swift glance of lore into tho handsomooyoj bent toward her. she replied: I think it's awful nice. Nod: just to think of being so near you all tho time why. I can bring ray work to the ollce and spend the whole day willi you that is. " and she looked up coyly. -if you'll let me." i et you?" he echoed, "tho idea! Tho thought of having you with mo was one strong incentive in accepting this out-of-the-way Job." Further ( onversation was stopped by the approach of a man from tho depot My name is Kogers." he said, and I'm tho agent horo; you'ro my successor, arc you not?" Ned bowed and introduced himself and wife. -Will yoi step into the office." continued the agent, or do 3011 pre fer going d.rectly to your house?' 'Jo tho house, by all means. " cried "Mrs. Dubois. -I am dreadful .y anxious to get straightened out." You'll have your hands full. 1 fear." smiled Rogers. -1 tried to place everything nicely, but an old bachelor is a poor hand at such work." I'm sure your efforts havo proven more satisfactory than you claim" was Ned's rejoinder, '-and we arc grateful 10 you for your kindness." Uy ihis lime they had reached the house, and leaving the littlo house keeper busily putting things to right) the two men returacd to the depo, where they were engaged for se-eral hours in c'Tecting a trans.'cr of tho o'lice. Now " said the oc-agent when tho change had been completed. I want to tell you this is tho loneli est piacc on earth, and I am glad to get away; why. I've sat horo day after day and never caught sight of a soul except tho train crews as thoy dashed through." After completing tho decorating and fixing of their little homo Mrs. Dubois turned her attention to the depot olico and soon transformed the rough busi-ncss-liko place into a luxurious fairy den. The waiting-room had an entrance from tho side fronting their residence, and another door connected it with the otlicc This doo was removed and in its placo the busy littlo woman hung curtains of a pretty design and looped them back tastily; about tho oilieo she placed many little nothings that had awonderful cfloct On the ap pearance of the placo: last, she bought a small mirro and suspended it at a height she could easily reach, almost opposite the cu taiued door way. After everything had been fixed to ho- satisfaction she asked Ned to teach her telegraphy, which request lie gladly emptied with, and was de lighted to find her such an apt pupil To add to their pleasure and amuio ment. Ned p a- ed an instrument in their co.y little sitting room, and for hours they would keep up an ani mated conversation: in addition to this pastime he utilized his machine at home for transaction of business when his wife or himself was feeling unwelL for he had -cut in" on the main wire. One evening in December., after his work at the oflico had been com pleted, he walked up tho track to see that the switches were all right His duties for tho day were over except the reporting of a t'irougli passenger, which few past their little home at seven thirty and this p'ece of work he usually did over his initrument at home. Dusk had settled about but tho golden visage of the moon floating in a cloudless sky. portended a beautiful night aid lie stepped briskly for ward. o:hilaratcd by a crisp breezo that came whisking from the dark riji of trees visible in the distance. Ho had found everything safe, and was n the act of hastening home, when he noticed a dark object seeming to lie across the track two or three hundred yards further on. and at a point where the road made a sharp curve. For a moment ho thought it only an illusion, such as can be had on a moonlight evening just a) day is verg ing into night; but forcing back this idea, as well as a strong desire to go home, he turned his face toward this object determined to satisfy hi) cur iosity. He was not long in arriving at tho spot, and to his surprise and horror ho found tho object to be a pile of cross tics on the track. He ad van -ed quickly to throw them aside when he d scovered that several rails had beo'i lorn from the track This fearful sight chilled his blood, and he stood almost paralyzed for a moment Then he thought of tho train. loaded with human souls that was even then rushing rapidly toward its doom, aud wheeling round he dashed toward the depot He bad scarcely traversed twenty stcpa however, before he felt a heavy hand come down on his shoulder. -HaJt!" came a gruff voice, "one step further, an J you die!" Aed felt the cold muzzle of a re volver come in contact with his ear. and he slopped. -So." the voles continued, sneer ingly. -thought ye'd spile our pros pects did ye:j" lor God's sake." begged Ned. -let me go and save the precious lives you have put in eopardyl" Nice move thatM be for us.' chuckled the wreck.-t- -af-er all our work and plans." Hut think man. what you are do tag." Done thought: aud the cud of the thing is that we're goin' to have a pull at a pile of cash now oc the train you speak of." Suddenly, probably without know ing it tho hand holding the pistol dropped a few inches, and tho hand on Ned's shoulder loosened its flTasp; then a wild desire to reach his office flashed across the operator's mind und clinching his teeth, he shook him self loose from his captor and fled in the direction of the depot He had gone several yards boforo the man realized his escape, then a deep curse broke out on the evening air and the train wrecker started in pursuit Ned glanced back and in placo of one ho saw several forms rushing after him. -Don t shoot" he hoard ono- of them say- -it m'ght arouse some ono; besides we can reach tbe office beforo he can send a warning message." Poor Ned's heart sank as ho heard this; ho knew too well that they would dash in ou him before he could even get a response from ono of tho offices above him- but he madly dashed into his o."tice and attompted to lock tho Uoor. Hut alas for once he was too ex cited, and boforo his trembling fingers could place tho key into tho lock tho entire crowd was on him. -Sit down, now." panted oao oi them, -and behave." In despair Ned dropped into a chair, with his back to tho curtains, and buried his faca in his hands. After a hurried consultation the gang of wreckers left two of their members to guard Ned. while tho rest hastened to demolish tho track. Suddenly tho tick of tho instrument caused hiin to raise his head. It was Singleton, the 6econd station from Pinevilie, reporting the arrival and departure of No. 83. Great drops of perspiration stood out on Ned's face, and he felt as if his heart would burst boforo this trial was over. Only ono more station to pass, and then tho hopes of saving the train would bo ov,cr. He sat with straining ears to catch tho sou-id of EUaville. the noxt sta tion to his. reporting tho train, for then ho knew the end had come, and his suspense wou'd cease. His eyes roamed about tho room and rested on tho mirrjr ho had laughed with his wi.'o. abo-t so much. Suddenly ho saw in the reflection, tho curtains at his back part and dis closo tho happy, sm ling face of his wi'c Then his mind grew clearer, as he rcali ed that she was in danger, and the tapping of his nervous fingers on his chair changed to to!egraphic signals: itep back quick, and listen!" tho clear taps spoke out and to his joy she quietly obeyed, and tho curtains fluttered softly back to their places; then ho went on: -Hurry homo and wire Ellavillo to stop 80; track torn up here and gang of wrockerswait"ng to rob it; send help on engine; be quick; I am under cover of pistol. " After he had given tho instructions to his wife. Ned listened attentively to catch the sound of her departure, but so soft was her tread that ho could not decide whether she had gone out or not; this added more fear to his already overstrained system, and he was almost in the act of springing on his captors, although it was certain death, when he heard the instrument begin to tick with re newed vigor; to add to his joy he recognized the delicate, firm toucb of his wife, and in the steady click he heard the call for Ellavillo. He was almost in the act of giving up all hope, when there jcarae a re sponse from the station called; then Ned heard the sweetest music he had over listened to; tho wires carried these words: -Stop 83 rails torn from track near here and gang waiting to rob the wreck:" send engine with " armed force quick; agent in great danger!" Ellavillo gave a starttod exclama tion and replied: Just in timo; 83 how in sight" Ned listened for ho more: his over wrought system relaxed and it was with great effort that ho kept from fainting. His guards, in tho mean ti ma had been laughing and joking over tho situation. One of them asked: Mister Agent how much longer fore that train gets here?" -About ten minutea1 calmly an swered Ned; "It has just been re ported at Ellaville" iood." they muttered; -guess we'll tie you up and go out with tho boys; don't object do you?" and thoy grinned. No." steadily replied Ned; "and if 1 did it would be useless." Fivo minutes ten minutes passed, and to Ned's cars canco tho deep sonorous sound of the engine whistle; as it blew for Pinevillo. Then he heard the sharp crack fol lowed by terrible shrieks and all was silent. -Ned." came a soft voice behind him and a trembling littlo woman rushed in. -have they hurt you?" as she began undoing the bonds. -No. sweetheart" he cried, clasp ing her to his bosom. but had it not been for you there is no telling what might havo happened." Her face flushed with pleasure, and she asked: -Did I send it correctly. Ned?" Correctly?" echoed the husband, -it was the grandest message that over flashed o er these wires." Just then a knock was heard on tho door, and opening it Ned admitted a crowd of men in the midst of whom were several prisoners. -Wo got most of them." said a man who seemed to be tho leader of the party. -Are thesoali?" asked Ned. -Well, not exactly: we left two ly ing out by the track" was the laconic answer. All of them proved to be old offend ers and were duly punished: and in the winding up of the affair the rail authorit'es amply rewarded the gal lant little wifo for -Her First Mes sage." Edward N.

Going Into Hie Poultry Itusiness. If there is any business wo hate to eo an inexperienced man go into it is the poultry busincs. There is nothing mysterious about it but apparently so fow undertako it Jhat are fit for it Managing twenty-fivo or fifty fowls will not educate any one sulliciently to undertake a honnery as an exclus ive means of livlihofid. It is well to begin with say twenty-live fowls and gradually teuild up; in fact it is the only way to mcasuro your capacity. Hut they won't do that They begin with twenty-fivo and got hlong the first year all right Hut then they imagine they under stand every bit of it and in they jump for oOD. and. generally down thoy go! Of course tho business is no gooJ. 1 have many acknowledge to me that they saw tebeir mistake when it was too late. Hut I liko poultry as an adjunct better than poultry exclusively, writes M. K. Boycr in theGcrmantownTole-graph- A butter, ogg and fruit farm makes a grand combination, and they work well together. Poultry and fruit poultry and vegetables, or poul try and a general farm aro grand schemes. I havo in my mind's eye a young man that started on fivo acres of land, lie planted a half acre in biackberriea half acre in raspberries, half acre in strawberries, and a. half aero of gooseberries and currants. Two acres in all were devoted to ber ries. Ono acre ho put m a variety of garden truck, and two acres ho de voted to poultry, stables and his resi dence. He kept three cows, a horse, two hundred fowls and four brood sews and a boar of tho Chestor White breed. All through the five acres, wherev er there was sufficient room, he planted fruit trees. What is the harvest? Ho has egga and poultry, and fruit and milk, and pork, and some vegetables for sale throughout tho year and he is comfortably fixed. Hut yoa ask. How does this work with the poultry farm? As he must depend entirely upon the poultry for expenses of living, etc., ho reduces the cost by making each branch of tho business pay a certain percentage or cost And 200 hens give him better returns, as thoy can be more readily attended to. More poultry would only increase tho ex pense without sutlfciently helping tho income. Of course all this may not sound like a good poultry article, but it will serve as an c amplo of how poultry is best made 1o pay. Farmera when they take good care of their stock always mako tho most money out of them. ;. Regulating Cow and Milk. In order to calm tho anxieties of the public respecting the consumption of milk from diseased cows, the French authorities have passo J a law rcquir- 1 ing Paris dairymen henceforth, when stocking their sheda to produce a cut imcuiu iiuui uii uuiuiiii tt-icnuury 6urgeon in whoso district the animal has been purchased that tho milch cow is free from organic disease. Thoy must also advise tho similar of ficials in the city of tho arrival of the purchase. As a further protection, all dairy cattlo aro to bo inspected monthly by tho government veteri nary surgeon, who is also empowered to report on the sanitary condition of lb co.v stables and surroundings. '.fheso measures arc not untimely, in presence of the heavy human mor tality from tuberculous alLctions; of tho increasing use of milk as a diet and of the communications of tuber culosis from milk from diseased cows a fact now placed beyond contro versy. The recent researches of Dr. Hang, of Copenhagen, have estab lished that milk can contain tho Koch bacilius of tuberculosis without the milk glands or udder exhibiting the symptoms of that disease, though tho latter was detected on the cow being slaughtered. Tho disease germs can exist in the cream as well as in the creamed milk despito no external signs of the malady being perceptible To sterilize tho microbes in milk the Pasteur plan of heating tho liquid and then rapidly cooling down is re sorted to. A temperature of loS to 167 degrees Fuhrcuhcit docs not kill the septic animalcules; it rather checks the rapidity of their multipli cation. Prolessor Duclaiu has shown that even at the boiling point vitality is not conquered in tho ferment germs, an additional twelve degrees is neces sary to make sure. Highly heatod milk loses nono of its nutritivo qual Itlca but is not so easy of digestion as the ordinary milk and acquires the cooked flavor thatsomany dislike. Milk thus heated and placed 111 ves sels that have been steam-scalded keeps for a long time. Dr. Sraester. of Normandy, sends milk to Paris in a perfectly sweet condition without resorting to any agent for its preservation save extreme cleanliness. C. 5n Rural Canadian. How Corn is Utilized. The corn crop is utilized now-n-days at different stages of develop ment. For tho silo, when nearing the glazing poriod. operations aro begun to securo tlio crop. For the ear corn and fodder, cutting and shocking aro delayed till the corn is well hardened (earlier cutting makes better fodder). For the crib when it is dry and shells fairly welL For fattening hogs and cuttle, from roast ing ear stage on. In many parts of the West are found farmers who turn their hogs into tho standing corn in the nearly ripened stage. The hogs pull and break down and help them selves. After tho hogs havo fattened on the crop cattle aro turned in and clean up tho balance of tho corn and most of tho fodder. The 'field is left well manured, and has cost nothing to gather tho crop. Pumpkins aro a valuable crop to plant with corn. After they hav run four or five feet pull out the unthrifty ones; those loft will baar larger fruit If oats are to follow corn, it would pay. after the corn is cut off. to sow rye ahead of a widetoothed cultivator and work it in. The rye would spring up and mulch and shado the bare ground all winter. Clowr and also rye have been sown. i when the corn was laid by. but tho corn roots monopolize the moisture and the stalks shade them so. that the growth is almost too feeble. Coleman's Rural World. I.lmo in Horticulture. I have great faith in the use of lime by fruit" growers. 1 have used it plen tifully for removing night-soil having found it very effective. I keep a good supply in the poultry house, under neath the roosting polea and I find by mixing night-soil and fowl raanuro ' alter being treated in the way I have . n entioued. with dry wood ashes iu about equal quantities. It makes a 1 yery powerful fertilizer for almost any kind of crops, moro particularly 1 for hops and onions. It works in tho j ground for threo or four years; I be lieve tho second and third years it seems to tell the most on tho crops. Of course you will see some good ef fect the first year. I think if my neighboring hop-growers were to try an experiment with this va'uable ma nure for hop gardens they would see an impro ement in their crops that would give a good return for out. lay of cash and tho small amount of extra labor in carting the lime and putting it on the land at a proper time and in a proper matfner. The best timo for putting on limo on a hop garden to do good is soon after the plants start in growth in tho spring, by forking it in and around tho plants. This does a deal of good work in killing insects and grubs that infest tho plant and damage the young, tender shoots, as thoy begin to start above ground, for quick-llrao is a perfect grub killer. I had the op portunity of watching the effect of lime on the potato grub last spring. The slightest touch of quick limo on a grub and he hursts, and for fruit trees I believe it is among tho host of manures. I think the only reason why there is so littlo used is that many people do not know its valuablo properties as a fertiliser of plant life. J. Stent in Horticultural Times. Ico in tho Dairy. It is common advlco in tho dairy journals to provido ico for tho dairy. The usefulness of ico in the dairy de pends upon circumstances altogether. 1 have a largo dairy mako my dairy prominent on tho farm. I took tho advice referred to. built an ico house, and am equipped for saving ice. Hut cutting and housing ico is not an agreeable work. It is more comfort able to sit in tho houso if there is nothing else to do when the ther mometer is from ten to twenty bolow zero. Situated as I am, I am sorry I mndo provision for ice. I havo a nice, cool spring nd havo built a bouse over it. I set my milk in the spring, and my double walled spring house is cool enough for all practic able purposes in keeping butter. It works just as well as my ico house worked. Of courso everybody ha not got a spring, but thoso who h.-'.vo aro foolish for building an ice house and going to the exponse of saving ice. John Simons in Farmer's Voice. Double Winilowj for Henhouse". It is not always advisable to place stoves in poultry houses. However carefully guarded there is moro or less dangor from fire The same pur pose may lie accomplished by mak ing tho walls double, with con fined air spaco between each thickness, and making doublo win dows. It is from the window that outside cold air is most apt to entor tho buildings. Glass is a good con ductor of heat and all tho warmth that tho hens glvo off escapes as soon as tho air reaches a window pano touched on the other sido by tho cold outer air. Tho doublo window also admits moro light as it does not get covered with frost from tho moisture that always accumulates on it where animals of any kind arekopt Amer ican Cultivator. l'lff Point!-. Hotter keep one or two sows to be sure of enough pigs. Fall pigs are only profitable when they arc kept thrifty. Ono objoction to having tho earth for a bed is the accumulation of dust Tho great point in the manage ment of pigs is to keep them grow ing. Thumps in young pigs is often caused by- an excess of fat or want of exercise. In building a hog house it is quite nn item to arrangj so as to admit the sun when dosirable. After weaning give tho pigs bran and oats made into a slop with milk rather than to feed corn. There aro few. if any. kinds of animals that tako moro kindly to a chnngc of climate than hogs. Soapsuds and coal oil kept well mixed together mako a good remedy to apply to rid the hogs of lice. A growing pig is almost .'is easily stunted by ovcr-fccding as by stinting although it is not so often dona With the western farmer at least grass and clover mako a cheaper feed for growth with hogs than grain. It seems almost as natural for the hogs to wallow in tho mud if they get aa opportunity, as it is for them to eat It will often pay to watch the pigs cat a few minutes every day. You can often learn much that will bo of benefit In hogging down ryo. clover is al most a necessity in securing tho bost results; the clover is nccdoi to make up a complcto food. Household Helps. The fumes of turpentine will rollove a child suffering from whooping cough. A sack of tho best salt standing whero thcro is a smell of fish or any objectionable odor, will absorb the flavor. A wire dishcloth for tho bottom of pots will savo tho towols from spots of soot which collect on pots set next to the fire. Plenty of nico fresh towels aro of more consequence than drawing-room ornaments. Roller towels are handy and labor saving. For slight cuts tako a piece of com mon brown paper wrapping paper, like that which butchers use for meat and bind it o.er tho wound To remove varnish in order to stain or paint scour with a hot solution of potash, or with ammonia (not kitchen ammonia, but tho kind sold by drug gists). It is said that if the woodwork in the kitchen b3 kept constantly scrub bed with water in which potash has been dissolved roaches and ants will spfeedily disappear. For severo cold on the lungs use the following excellent remedy: A teacupful of strained honey, one-half teacup'ul of olive oil and tho juice of one lemon.

I have tried all the different branches of poultry thoroughly, and in a busi. ncss-like way, and nothing has paid as well as the capons. Growing fancy poultry and selling it at fancy prices has seen its best day. The country is well stocked up on the different breeds, and it is only in exceptional cases that ono is able to seilsuch at a fancy price. Whero there is one buyer, there are ten sellers. Raising spring broilers is rather a risky and delicate operation, attended with much labor and loss, while really high prices are only to be obtained for a short period. Aside from growing capons the pro duction of fresh eggs for market is the safest and steadiest means of making pouitry pay. With capons, the ques tion of timo and labor is one thing that is so much in favor of keeping them. They require iess than half the time and labor to bo kept in a growing, thrifty condition than a lot of hens. Another great; advantage is that a building will accommodate and prouerlj- houso two or threo limes as many capons as it will hens. I should not attempt to raise any chickens, but would devoto that time in going about the country buying up cockerels. I would not oniy buy eariy ones, but I should also buy all the fall hatched ones I could, so as to havo capons comingr along at ail seasons of the year. Give them good clean quar ters and feed regularly. About all that a capon needs is corn, bone, shell and fresh water. To feed and care for 1.000 capons would not take over one hour a day, white to care for that number of hens properiy would take up the whoie of one's timo. Capons could be made to net a clean clear Drofit cf from 50 cents to :jl each. George Q. Dow, Rockinsrham county, X. II. " CONDUCTOR E. D. LO0MI3. Dctrolt.MIch., savs: "The effect of Hall's Catarth Cure Is wonderful." Write him about it Sold by Druggists, 75a Poii.tr Point. Many farmers advocate the use of charcoal for poultry, but they never think of putting their corn into the -pidcr and parching it for the hens, when a littlo damp and soft, as their grandmothers used to. Aud thea the old ladies were glad to get ninepence a dozen for their eggs in fall and spring and six cents in summer. When ihe turkeys begin to eat dry corn they also need water. Don't for get that. If there is no other use for the flat turnips, why not sow a few near the ouildings in some place, say where the eariy potatoes were dugout, and when they get to growing pull a few every day and throw into the chicken coop? l'hey will never ask whether the leaves havo the fly on them or the turnips are wormy, but will tako them ail at the same price. Probably they like turnip tops as greens better than any other plant excepting tho mustard, and they do not seem very particular, either, when shut in a small yard, where the green thing grows. And they seem to thrive upon such things, too. A lady of our aequaintanca who grows chickens iu a yard in the vil iage, says they never grow as rapidly after the school vacation is over, be cause she has not time to pull as many weeds for them as the boys do. By his rapidity and accuracy in addi tion, V. L. .Jenkins recently secured au excellent position in Dcs Moiaes, la, Fred attended Elliott's Uusincss Col lege, Hurlington, la. .1 ool lEend. There is nothing that conduces to such a successful meeting of emergen cies better than a cool head, with a perfect confidence that everything is going to come out all right. Whether things are "coming out all right" or not at least the feeling of quiet self control makes one better able to work toward the good result. To a mother ihis self-possession is invaluable. In a large family smail events calculated to upset tho domestic machinery are consiantiy occurring. It seems to bo a law of nature that children should continually have hair-breadth escapes, and come within an inch of iosing their iives. Hut it is equally a law of nature that they should escape. And whenever the critical moment arrives in her own life or in the life of an other, it is important for a woman lo remember that the ve"y worst thing she can do at that moment is to lose her head. To do that means to be helpless in stead of heipfui, to be a drag instead of an assistance. In an emergency one should rather seem heartless than inefficient There are always ten peo ple ready to cry or faint or shed tears over tho sufferer where there is one who stands coolly by and sees the way 10 help him. Affection and sympathy are often best proved by ignoring them, particularly when the moment arrives that calls for action and not for tears. Harper's Hazar.
