A SHORT ELQPMMff, Mft, ArVhat Anthony, ajred 26. jun ior member of the lirm Anthony & Son, was a peculiar man. Though possessed of a broad education and high culture, he -was known to but JcVf people and understood by none. His manner of life was simple but very regular. He talked little but thought much. Ia his thinking and studying ha had arrived at conclu sions similar to those held by most students. He put those conclusions into practice, however, and herein he differed from most men; herein was he called peculiar. In the following episode let the reader bear in mind that Mr. Anthony was acting from conviction. One summer morning Mr. Arthur Anthonj' boarded tho train at his home in Uraywood; he was going on business to the city 10) miles east. He took a scat near the rear of the car, and, us was his cus tom, bought a morning papef. This he proceeded to read in a leisurely manner; no noted tne Headings on the front page, looked nt tho stock quotations, glanced nt th'o editorial articles, and was about to cast the paper aside when he noticed the heading of another column which be fore hud escaped his attention. It was: "i.srr HKre tioMP. Pretty Mrs. Oi I way of I'.riokvillc, Deserts Her F.uiiilv." Usually he would have passed by such ft heading. Xow, however, for lack of anything else to do he read the column article. It told how Mrs. James Ordway of Brookville, wife of a prosperous farmer and milk dealer, hud the afternoon before left her hus band and two children without any warning, and had eloped with a young man who had been boarding in the village for a few weeks. This man, since his arrival in the ouiot town, had made friends among old and young. He had taken an active part in Sunday bchodl picnics arid berry parties, and had even helped one farmer get in his hay before a shower. Tlie unsuspecting country folk Mrs. Ordway included - had been much pleased with this man, and in their infatuation hud forgotten to inquire about his business or his antecedents. The elopement, how ever, had opened th"ir eyes, and in an hour the saint had be come a sinner. No reason could ba given Tor Mrs. Old way's strange conduct She and her husband had lived in perfect harmony since their marriage live years before, and she had always been happy as far as any one Knew.. iiir.i uruway was a very nervous woman, in delicate health, of an open disposition and confiding nature. Mr. Ordway was a stern, hard-working man, little given to sentiment, but of a kind heart. His love for his wife was deep but not effusive. Xow, however, since his wife's elopement, he was nearly heart broken, and offered her entire for giveness if she would return to him and her children. Then the article described Mrs. Ordway and told how she was dressed when last seen at Brookvillc; it told also of the man's appcaranco and dress. Mr. Anthony laid down the paper, saying to himself, "Another foolish woman." Then lie began to notice the people in the car. At tho for ward end were four drummers talk- ing aud laughing; near the middle of the car was a party evidently just starting for the seashore: in tlie beat directly in front of Mr. Anthony was a couple apparently just married. "Off on their wedding trip, I guess," thought Anthony. Then lie looked at the woman and muttered: A brown hat und a brown cape. Well! That's what that paper said."' He took up the paper again and read the description of .Sirs. Ordway: As near a can bo found out Mrs. Ordway wo e a small brown hat, a brown cape, a g ccn dress and brown gloves. She also had on a pair of brown ga'ters. Mrs. Ordway is a small woman of slender build. She has light brown hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion." Anthony read this over carefully :pj compared each point to the woman in front of him. There was the small brown hat, the brown cape, the brown gloves, and the green dvss. He could not see the ladv's irait- ers. But the l.'-ht hair and fair com plexion were there. The appearance of the man did not agreed exactly with the printed account. Still, it was only the clothes that were different; tho hair, complexion, and mustache were the same. Anthony felt sure th'.it if that oman in front of him ware brown gaiters she was Mrs. Jai.-tcs Ordway of llrookvil'c. At the first .station Anthony left th car for u walk on the platform. Ho went out by tho rear door; when he c me in it was by the front door. He walked slowly up the aisle toward- his scat, his eyes meanwhile lowered. Ho glanced into the seat in front of his own and saw a small foot. It, was a woman'ifoot and on it was a brown gaiter. That settled it. Arthur Anthony knew that this was the eloping couple. "The paper euld give no reason, her husband said they had never had even a word of disagreement, and 1 can't imagine why she did it," he -said. Mrs. Ordway, if so it was, sat next to the car window, accordingly An thony took his scat next to the aisle. In this way he could look across and see her face. He thought he de lected something sad about it, and yet she chatted pleasantly with the man whenever he s-pokc to her. He was exceedingly attentive to her, and sue appeared to havo entire con- fidmce in him. l.it she did not si cm to lead iu the conversation, and when they wefi quiet Anthony was sure a ad expression came into her face, as though she forgot the pres ont and was thinking of the past; once he even thought he saw a tear. If some person would only talk to that woman a little he might per suade her to return home. Too bad to break up a family like that," thought Anthony. Soon he heard the man say to tho woman, "I think I'll go into the smoker a little while. You dou't mind, do you?" And she answered, Xo I guess not" So the man went. This was Anthony's chance. A moment later the woman was startled to hear her naine .spoken clos; to her own car. I fche was leaning back in the corner j by the window looking out at the pleasant homes they were passing perhaps she was thinking of her own home. At the ..sound . of jp,, strange voice calling h'eV Sy .name sh'o sat up straight and turned around with a frightened look. "Mrs. Ordway" he spoke slowly, in the meantimo looking straight I into her blue eyes "Mrs. Jamea j Ordway of Brookvillo, I am sorry I this thing has happened." I Then he rose, stepped around Into ( the seat in front and said, "May I s't neror" no seemed little f right (mod but said nothing. Htt sat dbwri and tdrncd in the seal so. that he could see her clearly. Then he 'continued: "I don't understand why you should have done this. You had a erood home and your husband was kind to you. You were not overworked. You had all tho necessities and many of the luxuries of life. And yOU loved your hme till this mail" Ho pointed towards thb smoking car iriet you. " He is a man of the world and you were fascinated by his easy ways. Every one in the village liked him because he was pleasant and ac commo'dating. You met him and he seemed to like you. Then he told you he did, and his actions seemed to prove it But do you suppose he loves .you tts yoUi' hlisband does? Why, hasn'c he just gone off to smoke his cigar? He cares more for that than for you. Is that liko your hud band? Perhaps your husband dcesn't talk much about his love, bdt isn't he kind to yod? This man talks ft great deal about how much he loves yod, and then the first chance he gets he leaves -you alone and goes td the smoking Car. Yoit 'dught riot td havo Veen discontented. He may ap pear better than your husband, James Ordway, but his heart is not as good. He does not care ror you and he is deceiving you. I know you are half sorry you left your home; 1 know- ydu wish j:oii were back again. Don't ytiu remember how the place looks on a morning like this? The sun is shining down on the piazza, and the morning-glories are all open now. Perhaps your husband is just coming home on tho milk cart He'll miss you this morning, I am sure." Her frightened look had gradually turned into a look of wonder as ho had progressed. Now she was star ing at him; her oyes were opened wide, and her surprise at his knowl odgo of her elopement so completely covered her face that ho could not toll from it the oxtont to which sho had boon influenced by his words. But lie saw that his Conjectures about the morning giorics and tho pun on the piazza had been correct He had thought it must tie so; for ho knew that most farm houses had a south piazza and that most house wives planted morning glories. As for the 'other things ho had said, he got them from the newspaper. He l4matn i n1 41aa -T-v -kla' 1.1 H3 uuiuiiiiuigu iiiuvsiiusiiuuiU yiUlUyrj lor no was sure oi ner sorrow lor what she had done, and ho wislied tho family to he re-united. -So ho continued: rt ' "And the children haye'no mother this morning; they erie'd for her last night and did not know why sho didn't come back. I wonder who will care for them now." She had yielded. She was crying softly. The mother had loved hoi' children and nothing coilid make her long fdrgct them. The thought of them would alone have made her wish to return. If sho had been a little sad boforo, she was entirely so now. Anthony saw this, and he knew he would succeed. His plan was formed at once. In five minutes they would stop at another station whero they met the up train. The train wpfTul make connections nt Ashlars for Brookvillc. If ho could jgbt Mrs. Ordway on that train she. would reach home early in tho aftejtffbon. He was determined to dois utmost. Ho continued: V' Madam, I atri sure you would liko to get home again, and I think wo can arrange it He will not be back from the smoking car for fifteen or twenty minutes yet At this next station we meot the up train. By tak ing that you will get toBrookville this afternoon. Your husband offers you entire forgiveness if you will but re- 4 - 4- Vsm ' y - "Does he? Then I'll ga" This was the first time she had spoken, and there was hope fti her voice and coun tenance. But immediately despair overcame her hope and sho .said in ti trembling voice, "Oh! but 1 have no monei'i" a Her hope was gone 'again and for the first time shs realized how de pendent she was upon others. But I have money, "said Anthony, "and here is the station." He got up svnd took her satchel. Sho followed him and they went out The western train was waiting. He had barely time enough to get her safely aboard the car. As it started, he tipped his hat from the platform, and from the window she smiled through her tears. Then he rushed to the telegraph office and sent this message: "Mr James Ordway. Brookrille: " Vour wife will return on afternoon train to djy. AKTHtiK Anthony" Amherst Monthly. A l.'ondman to Debt. The deadening nature of debt has been shown time and again in tho coal regions of Eastern Pennsylvania, where a miner sometimes works for ten ycurs without receiving any cash payment, becauso some disaster has brought him in debt to the company store. Mine owner and miner 6haro the financial risks of mining, and it sometimes happens that an accident will place beyond tho miner's reach thousands of tons of coal which he has cut with months of labor, but for which he could not draw full pay until it had been delivered at tho breaker. While ho was thus busied ho lived upon credit at the company's storo, and the disaster left him deeply in debt The effect upon many men has been to make them utterly indif ferent to their futuro, and at least one mine owner, recognizing tho evil I results of such conditions, makes it a rule to discharge the miner who is hopelessly in debt The discharge clears his score, and many men thus relieved of their burdens dopart from tho coal regions with their little be longings to begin anew elsewhere armed with the courage that hope alone can give.

On the Atlantic coast there arc 10) miners, who loft Punta Arenas and brought horses to explore with greater facility the auriferous shore between Capo Espirit Santo and Thetis, which is supposed to bo as rich as, if not richer, than the beach already mentioned." CHEROKEE SECRET SOCIETY. its Object tlio Preservation of Indian r.egrnl and Traditions. Not many persons are aware that mere exists among tno uicroitccs u secret society that is hundreds of years old, as old, in fact, as the tribo itself, and is to-day stronger than it ever was, at least in numbers. This society is called the Kctoowah, which literally translated, means elder brother. It is a sort of Indian freemasonry, and has its laws and rules of order, as well as its officers and secret signs. So well are its secrets and its i doings guarded that there aro hun- ( dreds of people living in the Chero- kce nation, and who have lived there for years, who arc not even aware of the existence of a society every mem ber of which is sworn to assist in the defense of their homes from tlio in vasion of the palefaccd brother either by squatter sovereignty or by squawmen privileges. Only full-bloois are eligible to member ship, but so jealously i tho Kctoo wah watched that what elso is neces sary for membership is not known outside of the order. The society now has a membership of about 1,000 full-bloods, each the head of a fam ily, and thus the organization repre sents about o.OOO persons.

When the white man s gov ernment was formed and the affairs of the people were taken from the few and administered by men elected by the people and the Indians saw their power and their birthright steadily passing away, the customs and language receding before the march of civilization, they realized that unless something was done to counteract these influences the Cher okee would soon pass from the face of the earth. To prevent this became at once the object of tho Kctoowah, and it was so enlarged as to include the heads of all full-blooded families, so that from a privy council it be came a powerful oath-bound organis ation.

ICater Available Whea Needed To Keep MJJIc Froat Sodrlag--lloW to Mamie Cat WonO About Tomatoes, Sheep Slieurliig and Ilousebold Helps. irrlaticlii; The moro wo obsoVvb Iho eff&its of Irrigation as relating to farming and tho production of crops tho more wo becomo convinced of its advantages, and that it might bo profitably em ployed in many sections where such assistance is unthought of. One point must bo conceded and that is, that moisture" is all absolute neces sity in crop growing, hot only to stai , the seed into vital activity, but as a medium whorcby tho soluble clomcnts of nutrition aro conveyed to tho plant itself. While it is truo that an excess is objectionable and hurtful, it must- at tho tame time bo remembered, that the want of it, is Lalso lully as damaging to the growth and development of a crop. The advantago of using irrigation water is that its oflico can bo regulated to meet the actual require ments, and If there is sufficient moisture in tho soil to answer the demand of the crop and hold it in a condition of healthy growth then tho irrigation supply need not be drawn Upoii, this is UsUally the case in the spring after the melting of snow and the fall of spring rams has occurred, but how often is it tho case that as the summer months come on with tlie attendant hot weather, the sup ply of moisture diminishes and at the same time the demand is rapidly increasing with the increased growth of the plant: this is the time when an incalculable amount of benefit could he conferred by an applica tion of water hold by storage for that purpose. We do not claim that irrigation can bo made available in every instanco where it might bo needed, but wc believe that thero are sections whero a reservoir might be constructed to prevent tho waste of surplus wator, and that might by sonic effort bo divurtod to points whero crops would be greatly bene fitted. Wo havo seen something of the workings of irrigation in Colo rado and also in California, although we arc aware that the general condi tions of climate in both states are Unlike most other sections of tho country in the fact of having a longer season of no rainfall: but tho effects can bd studied equally as well. Kvcnat the Kast where rainfall is expected periodically, crops are fro- j quontly greatly injured by a want of moisture; this is tho caso in Colorado and California with this difference, I there it becomes a certainty but tlio ! effects arc wholly warded of! by I means of a sufficient flow of wator from somo neighboring canal and be . cause of this crops are kept continu ' ally growing and are carried to a I state of perfection. It is considered j that by a judicious use of water for ; irrigation, crops of much superior quality and of larger yield aro sc , cured, and this is what ali farmers ' desire. The same rule that applies to cultt , vated crops, such as vegetables, corn, etc., will apply with e.'ittal force to grains and grasses, says Coleman's Kural World; a crop of I grass may be very largely increased by a use of water, and this, too, by no ) addition of fertilizer. In Colorado 1 immense crops of alfalfa are grown through tlie agency of irrigation and we feel confident that the same means applie3 to mowing lands of the Kastern, Middle and Southern states. where possible, would tend to a great ly increased crop of ha There is little doubt buo that the improved agriculture of the future will demand the utilization of the surplus water hat now goes to waste. To Kerp .Milk From Souring. A man who has had experience in handling milk sent to the Boston market, and who never had any sour milk returned, recently told an East ern exchange how ho managed to keep milk from souring. He says: In the first place the cans need at tention, especial pains being taken to thoroughly cleanse jans an.l stoppers llml PIaC0 them "Pn Outdoors, 1US "aluI luu 'l'"ll,"u iiny somewhat with the weather, from forty-eight to sixty degrees. The milk is stirred with a long handled spoon at frequent intervals, and left unstoppercd over night, but the lid or cover of the trough is closed. The milk is taken from the trough the first thing in the morning and stoppled, and the morning's milk similarly treated, except the time of remaining in the water has been lim ited to from two to four hours. Hy this, lo explain, 1 mean, av one time I wc had to get it to the depot at I) w. i m., at another 7 a. m., by change in I routes. I It is my opinion that clean milk, placed in clean cans, cooled to sixty i decrees at the farm, and placed in a ' ! Til. :.. .1 1. : 1, milk car with ice, and reaching Bos- j ton that day, so that it will reach the consumer for the next day's use, will be found to be perfectly sweet for all uses, if not tampered with by tho milkman. I do not believe that such milk needs any of the so-called preserva tives to add to its keeping qualities.

I also protect my j-oung trees with tins that clamp around them. I have made them six V....".. ...w .. , JV - J - inches high and about three inches in diamotar and put thorn in the ground two or threo inches. Cut worms and booties cannot climb over them, and will not dig under them. Any tinsmith, will make them for about two cents a piece. I have used tho tins sucessfully threo seasons." Scraping Apple Trees, Dr. T. II. Hoskins says in the Kural New Yorker: " I must say that my experience is not so wide as my observation. Tiiero Is nothing to scrapo 65 trees inji Vigorous or well cared for orchard iintil ihe'y have), reached from twenty-five to thirty" years of ago, for tho bark docs not begin to exfoliate to any considerable extent until they get older than that Trees will become scrubby on poor land, and their bark will becomo inor'd tir less unhealthy and rough whilo thcv'ar6 quitG yoilng; but It is not scrapmg that such trees heed Sd much as nourishment and judicious pruning. Trees in ola and more or less neglected orchards aro benefited by being freed from loosoly adhering bark and scrubbing with weak lye, in connection with tillage and enrich ment of tho ground. Scraping at least makes thorn look better and re moves hiding and nesting places for various in;ccts some oi which ma' bo harmful, while others aro bene ficial, such as ladybugs, and otiier insectivorous species. l?ut, to put it i briefly, a well kept orchard of any kind of fruit trees furnishes but a small amount of work for scraper. fXonscn.so Abutit Tomatoes. All idea has gained currency dur ing the past few years that tho tomato as an article of diet is liable to produco or encourage the terrible disease of cancer, and not long ago it was stated the use of this vegeta ble had been forbidden at the London cancer hospital. So widely spread had this notion become that Dr. Marsden, chairman of the medical committee of the cancer hospital, has thought it advisable to give it official contradiction. He says that his committee has been inundated with letters on this subject, and he begs publication for the following statement, which wo hope will settle the matter once for ali. It is the opinion of the committee "that tomatoes neither prcdisposo nor cx cito cancer formation, and that they ac not injurious to those suffering from this disease, but on the con trary, arc a very wholesome article of diet, particularly so if cooked." Farmer's Voice. Mii-op Micarhigs. Plenty of bells on tho sheep will frequently scare the dogs away. If thg ewo is not strong and per fect how do Wc expect a strong and perfect lamb? Hut some seem to ex pect it. It is likely that llockmastcrs must depend on mutton productions or give up sheep breeding. It looks that way. It is claimed that sheep that will yield at least six pounds of wool, will double the llockmastcr's money in four years. It would seem that as long as we do not produce cnougli mutton or wool for home supply, sheep growing should be profitable. Srhccp will bear much neglect, but it is certainly unwise to invest money in an animal simply to sec how much neglect it will stand. Well bred sheep, liko other well bred animals, will tell vou pretty nearly what they will do for you from ! the beginning. An inferior sheep never docs that. It is all chance with J such a sheep. I There is often a black sheep in the Hock with a white fleece. It is the j sheep that is good for nothing. That j is the kind of individual wc apply j the name of black shcop to ia a j human family.

A good way to cook liver is to fry it in muter, witn an onion cut m ; small pieces scattered over it.

' Urease stains on a carpet may be ' effectively treated by applying a mix- ture composed of two ounces of ! amonia, two ounces white castile i soap, one ounce glycerine, one ounce of ether. Tho soap should be dis- j solved, first in a pint of water, then the other ingredients and two quarts ' of water should rc added. Another rccipo for removing greaso spots rc- quii'cs the application of four table spoonfuls of alcohol to one of salt. To remove the glass stopper from a bottle, tap the neck gently on a hard substance, wood or marble, lirat on one side, then on the other. This usually serves, but to keep the neck well covered with olive oil for an hour is anotnor plan, and sun an- othor is to immcvso the bottle in hot . i i i - . i r -.

Ammonia may be used in the same way, but soap is said to be injurious to the bristles. More to tho l'urpoie.

Life. w, ifoaise rfiflrt The ironing of shirts is if o almost unknown in American kitchens and many a woman has cause to bless tile prevalent laundry agent for her peace ful home. Whenever it becomes nec essary to do such work at home, one should provide a neatly covered bosom board and a long, narrow board for the sleeves. The latter is also of great use in doing np children's frocks and ode's own summer dresses. Take well boiled starch in which has been mixed a tablespoonful of liqdid glue, and rub it thoroughly into bosom and cuffs. When the fabric will hold no more, roll the garment up tightly and leave it for fifteen minutes. Then unroll and quickly if mi the unstarched parts. Iron the back cm the bosom board so as not 'to dry the front Then smooth out the wristbands, wipe with a damp cloth, and iron quickly, drying o'n the under side and polishing on the righv. Then" spread the bosom on the board cover with a damp cloth and go over with hot iron. Then take the polishing iron and boldly finish the work. If proper ly done thero will be no sticking; the .secret is to move the iron so quickly that it doesn't remain in one spot long enough to stick. Hood Housekeeping. So Many Lives to Account for.
