When in&h whose finances are rathdr light in the balance is anticipating a very considerable ad dition to his pockctbook, it might be imagined that ho would be in a some what genial frame of mind. Tracy Henson, tho banker, realized that in a few hours, perhaps minutes, he might bo tho possessor 01 $75,000, and ho became even more sonertj'd than usual, and bit his lip as if he were thoroughly tlwarc that ficklo fortune might turn on him like a thief and leave him penniless. llcnson had never been called a rich man, although it v.as known at the Stock Exch&uge, where his tall, impos ing figure was as familiar as tho black board bulletins, that ho was never embarrassed from lack pi pocket money. Ho was seldom implicated in uny "big deals," "and consequently his looses fere comparatively small. He rarely risked more than 5,000 in a single month, and, as a general rule, gained perhaps a fifth as much. But he had recently got good advices, and now ho had played heavily, desperately for him, $25,000 it made him wince when ho thought of where he should be if he should lose. Heigho! I'm tired," ho Bald, yawning, but he had hardly uttered the words when the door-bell rang with a loud noise. He hurried out of tho room and down the stairs, calling to the servant that he would attend lo tho door. As he had ex pected, it was a messenger boy. Ho scribbled his name on the delivery book and slammed the door, then tore open tlic envelope. "JtuUcriown Mining a clean sweep. KllEEMAS." He read it through again; then his face brightened and as he waved the telegram joyfully over his head and cut a pigeon wing toward the stair case, he cried: "I'm going down town to see Bil lings. Where's my hat? Wait I'll get Billings up here and we shall have a good time. Old Billings funniest man I over let mo see, let me see," he said, hesitating. "Why can't I fix Up some little surprise for him. Oh! I have it. I'll make him think I have lost $75,090, just to see how he will take it Always brim full of cheerfulness I will make him serious for once in his life. A little judicious levity won't be unbecoming my good fortune. Let me see, I wonder how I can put it." Down on State street, on the left hand side, and set back a bit be tween two high stone structures, is oituatcd what is supposed to bo the oldest building in the lot Its dilapidated entrance certainly indi cates as much. Tacked on an office door at tho head of the llight of stairs which lead- right up from the street is a sign bearing tue following words: "Sam Billings, Attorney at Law. ' Within the office a short little man with a respectable paunch, in an ample gray vest, and a worthy red face well framed with tufted white whiskers, is sitting at a desk writing. He is dictating what he writes to a girl who is playing a business sonata of one note on a typewriter in an ad joining room. "All right now." " his heirs and assigns for their own special use. Period! And the said Timothy Mur phy, of the first part, and his be loved spouse. Abigail jDennise Mur phy, of the second part, do, by the grace of God " But at that moment two pro longed rings sounded at the tele phone. Mr. Billings laid down his pen, and as he hurried over to tho instrument muttered under his breath something about "infernal marhinc. " "Hello! Hello!" "Is this 4413-2?" came over the wire. "That you, Billings?" "Yes! Hallo! Henson, what's up?" recognizing the voice. "Say, Billings, come up to the house right away! I'm " "I understand. Just keep jour equilibrium for five minutes, and I'll bo with you. "' As he hung up the receiver, the girl in the other room ventured to ask: "Anything serious, Mr. Billings?" "Yes. Henson's house is probably on fire and his family and furniture in the street," he replied, not, how ever, without causing a light to tinge the cheeks of that pcnsable young lady. Mr. Billings did not waste blush indis- many minutes in locking up his desk and putting on his hat and coat, and giv ing some directions to Miss Perry, was soon under way. When he reached Henson's house he looked at his watch. It was half past two. The servant opened tho door and told h:m that Mr. Henson was in the library. j "Hello, Henson What's the j trouble? You look as if you were out of tune," said the lawyer as he entered the room. The banker was seated before the fire. Ho had thrown off his coat and had on a long, gray dressing gown which was buttoned up to his neck. He turned his head slowly when tho lawyer spoke, and said in a weak i voice: ! "Billings, I am thankful to you for coming, for I am a pretty poor man. I am a wreck." t Billings was absorbed in examin ing a small hole that he had just dis- covered at the tip of one of the fing- i ers of his glove. He paused and eyed him narrowly. I "Why ! Henson, my dear fellow, what in tho name of Columbus pos t sesses you? You look as forlorn as the last rcsc of summer. Here, take t- a sip of this Imperial Elixir, it will , brace you up." And he poured out some and passed it to him. The man in the chair took the glass mechanically, and his hand trembled so much as he sipped the liquid that tho lawyer thought he was suffering from an attack of ague. "You are certainly a sick man, Henson. Isn't the room a little chilly? Let me poke up the fire" The lawyer, without waiting for an answer, set about to rattle at the grate and throw on some fuel, with such zeal as would have startled the most untiriugof servants. When he had finished this timely operation, the banker was. to all appearances, a very.dejected-looking man. Tjie law yer felt within him that it was his duty to assume temporarily the bm iflose'of family physician, so ho drew ;4jtelriihak ample dimon jtieaei, iiJptxMid to make a fow traaitfonal inquiries. "O; Billings," said the banker in answer to his last question, "I am not sick physically f but mentally." He 'could think of nothing else to say. The lawyer looked nonplussed. "Sick mentally!" echoed Billings. "What, something the matter with your head, do you mean?" Henson almost smiled, but he re tainod his composure. He felt that his cue had come. It was now or never. "Billings," he muttered, "I am a ruined man. I have lost to-day $75,000, and, on my honor, I haven't a cent I " The lawyor pushed his chair back and whistled. "I dropped $75,000 8n the Butter town mining deal Jacob Thompson bought up every share he Could get his hands on, and frdze hid out com plelely.". "But, by heavens!" put in the law yer, "you are not ruined by that?" . Henson's face seemed to be losing its color. He was evidently growing worse. His eyes looked glassy in the fire's light, and his lips seemed to twitch uncommonly as he said: "Sam Billings, you havo always been a friend to me. I have never confided much of my business to you. although 1 have often thought that if I should ever find myself in trouble and in need of an adviser, I could go at once to you with the perfect as surance of help. Can I tell you, withwith that assiirance, some thing which, six months ago, I would not have even dared to think of?" The lawyer had . listened atten tively. He was profoundly im pressed. Ho pulled out his hand kerchief and blew his noso vigor ously, thon said: "Henson, old boy, lell me every thing. Once yeur friend, always your friend." and he .tpok the bank er's hand and pressed it consolingly. He was prepared to hear almost anj' thing, and his eyes were moistening perceptibly as he looked into his friend's pitiful face. "Billings," said the banker, tho words seeming to stick in his throat. "I am deeply grateful for your sym pathy. Billings Sam I am short $100,000 in my accounts with tho bank." The lawyer sprang out of his chair as if an electric shock had been sent through him. The banker was in wardly struggling to suppress a smile. He did smile, but he had presenco of mind enough to conceal his faco with his handkerchief. "You short in j'ou, Henson, my God! You!" cried poor Billings in his frenzy. The banker said nothing, only let his head fall forward. Billings imagined he had fainted, and rushed over to a small table and dashed out a tumblerful of brandy. Then he hurried back, and knelt down on one knee beside the banker's chair. "Here, poor fellow, drink this. Do for my sake, it will " Henson pushed the glass away, and got up, still keeping the handkerchief up to his face. "Come, Billings." he muttered, trembling all over, "I cannot endure this any longer. I must " "Go to bed," suggested the lawyer, softly, as he took him tenderly by the arm. "No! Go to dinner!" Henson shouted, and he burst out laughing and waved his handkerchief over his head with all his might Billings jumped away from him like a Hash and grew pale with hor ror, for it was evident that Henson had gone clean crazy. The banker recovered himself suf ficiently to pull the telegram from his pocket and pass it to him. Bil lings took it cautiously, retreated a step, and read it Then ho glared at the banker. "What do you mean?" he asked, as the color began to come back to his cheeks. "It just means," said Henson, "that you are the biggest chuckle-headed creature I ever saw! That a man of your pretensions and standing should be hoodwinked is truly pa thetic. Don't you see! I've mado $75,000! I felt so elated that I de cided to invito you up to the house to havo a celebration. By thundor! x vo maue you serious lor once in your life!" The lawyer began to see through tho affair, and he, too, burst out laughing, and cried: "Well, I'll be" "No! Don't do that." said Henson, catching him by the arm, "just smooth your hair a bit, and como down to dinner." American Culti vator. Eirtliquakei. Earthquakes arc due to the phe nomena of plication or folding of tho earth's upper strata. Tho same ten sion and compression which produced many of the mountain ranges is hero in action. As the interior of tho earth cools it contracts and tends to leave tho outer crust behind. The weight of the outer crust, how. ever, is greater than it can sustain, and is therefore com pelled to wrinkle. Tho geologists explain the great ridges and furrows which constitute continents and river basins, and they compare this fold ing of the earth's crust with the wrinkling of the skin of a dried ap ple. While the process of wrinkling or folding is going on the mighty movement, of course, destroys tho equilibrium of the rock strata. and in consequence earthquakes occur and continue with greater or less violence until the equilibrium is again re stored. Ancient Hebrew Record. Suppose you try tho experiment of writing a few sentences without vowels, without word spaces, without capitals and without punctuations just placing the consonants of the words one after another, the 'same space between each two letters, until you fill a page. That is all that He brew writing for fifteen centuries afforded. Take such a sentence as "God is love." It would be written "g d s 1 v." If you had simply these consonants you would be at a great loss what to make of them. You might put in one set of vowes and it would read, "God does live" With other vowels it will read, "aged salve," and with others "good salve." The Hebrews kept the pronunciation and the division into sentences by read ing aloud and practically committing from generation to generation. A Great Gold Strike.

MODERATE APPLICATION OP AVAILABLE PLANT POOD. Feed the Crop at Iatervalsi: Good Moath a Good Horse Swoeta for Stock Farm Haraeaa Agrlcaltaral Notes aad Hoaaehold Helps. Ftsedlas; Pleats The manner of feeding plants has much to do with their profitable growth. It has a certain analogy with tho feeding of animals, for in both the growth depends on the way tho food is supplied. No one presents to any animal all the food for three months' sustenance at one time, but the food is giv6n as it can, bd digest ed profitably! and ih such quantity that none is wasted. But for the crops; the food is supplied in bulk dt the beginning fa'f tho feasor for the whole time, End at first there is a superabundance, and then a scarc ity. The growth of the crop is often excited unduly at first, and a weak plant is produced, that is of weak vi tality, although it may appear to be luxuriant Then when the most important period of its growth arrives and a greater draught on tho plant is made for the maturing of the seed, the supply is short, and a great quantity of stalk or leaf may be pro duced, but little grain. To apply this to the corn crop, wo may per ceive that the tisilal method is to manure the soil as freely as may be possiblo before tho planting. The first growth of stalk and leaf is too rank, and as the food in the soil is used up the plant needs mora than is left for tho most exacting stage of existence, viz., tho llowering and ma turing of the seed. Thus wo so of ten find tho majority of the ears are only partly fiile'd, for the reason that the plant has not the materials to fill out tho ear with. This fact, is important Tho crop is shortened at least twenty-five per cent on this account, and if there is any way to prevent this loss it is well worth finding and making uso of it It has "been found by long ex perimenting that tho method of sup plying food for tho crop at intervals, so as to provide for tho most needful periods of its growth, wholly removes this difficulty and that full cars are invariably produced. Thus it is dcsirablo that a moderate applica tion of immediately available plant food should be given at intervals as the plant arrives at the exacting periods, these being when tho repro ductive organs are appearing and maturing. The last supply is given when tho silks aro seen, which is the time when tho grain is about to be formed, and this is the time when all tho resources of Ihe plant ac called into action. This food then being at once available and being at once appropriated insures well-filled ears and large and sound grain. Tho full filling of every ear will easily add one-fourth to the ordinary yield of corn. It is a well-known axiom of trade and commerce that- a reduction of price always stimulates consumption ' of any product, savs tho New York Times. This necessarily applies to farm products as well as others. If any product can be increased with out a proportionate increase of cost, and the consumption of it is in creased, there is more profit to the producer in tho sale of the increased quantity at tho lower price. Cotton growers have complained that their product costs ten cents a pound to make. This cost is based on an average product of 150 pounds to the acre. But if tho product is increased to 500 pounds or more to the acre, tho cost of it will not bo more than one-half that of 15) pounds. There may then bo a con siderable margin for increase of pro duct to supply the stimulated de mand through the lessened price, and this increased demand will pro portionately add to the value, which will not thon be reduced in full pro portion to tho incrca&cd product. This same principle applies to all farm products, and even food is con sumed in larger quantities when low prices prevail. Thus it is easily seen that an effective remedy for low prices is to increase the supply, and thus make moro money from the same area of land, with an equiva lent increase of profit A Good Sloutli a Good Uorsc. A horse to be a good driving one. must have a good mouth, says an ex change. This causes the bit to be ono of tho most important parts of the harnesses it touches the most sensitive parts of the horse. The bit used, and tho way it is used, causes tho horso to have a good or bad mouth. A horse that cannot boar much weight on the mouth is called tender mouthed. Such ones are often made to have a good mouth by using a pleasant bit, and being driven by a careful, experienced driver, Some horses are rank pullers, made so by abuse, but when they havo a kind, experienced driver they soon have confidence and give it up. Many a high mettled and spirited horse is often largely restrained by the reason and voice of the driver, which if driven by some wonld bo called unsafe, .and they would be for certain ones to drive. A kind, but nervy, high spirited horso will sometimes go off on tho bit so that it will take all tho strength of its driver at first to control, and if the lines are not drawn up quick their heels go up and they will go off on a run. A horse in a race will often give a great burst of speed. Thay want then a good mouth and a strong, steady pull to keep them from breaking. One time when Ethan Allen was driven on exhibi tion by Holcomb, he had so much confidence in Ethan that he seemed to think he need not pay any atten tion to the lines, and let them loose. He started him at a fifty clip and Ethan broke, which he would not have done if there had been a fow pounds pulled on the mouth. It was said Ethan never pulled more than ten pounds on the bit in his race. As a general rule a common sized joint bit is the best to drive trotters with. A horse in a break will catch quicker with such a bit than a straight one. The bit shguld be. made as pleasant to the hort as can be, and havo him safe. Many a race has been lost by tho horse being vexed, irritated and maddened by an unpleasant bit Journal of Agriculture. The Farm Harness. A writer for National Stockman prefers the half chain tug with plain strap back pad, without any tree, adjustable hames and full leather collars with patent clasp faslener. There is also a recent valuable im provement in the way of attaching the tug to the hame, making a flexible joint so that the leather at that point is not twisted and bent eftt)h time tha horso stops. Ht Bayu Some of the advantages I see in this stylo of harness, great conven ience in adjusting length of tugs for plow or wagon, barrow or roller, then greater " durability. Every farmer knows the first place a full leather tug breaks is at tho holes for buckle tongue near upper end. I also have the bridles without blinds except for a lazy horse. In buying harness note that all the parts upon which strain falls aro heavy and of L close grained leather: tho lines especially should bo examined. Tho bridle bit should bo smooth and so made as not to pinch the horso's mouth. Havo snaps on tho lines. See that tho collars have a smooth well filled face, that both sides aro filled alike and that they have a good heavy pad at top; also havo a heavy front roll to keep hames on. Sweets far fock. It ought not to b(2 news to tho stock feeder to tell him that etock relishes sweets. Tho horso is fond of sugar. It likes nothing better. Cattle' like sweet?. But I see that the papers are just iioVt publishing what an English paper says tipOn tho subject Tho writer says that mo lasses is trood for stock, and that he has used it in feeding cattle for years with success. No doubt cattle would relish it But I doubt tho value of molasses as feed. It is very laxativo as this writer admits. lie says that "the molasses should bo thinned down with hot water and then be used to dampen cut feed previous to spreading on the feed the meal and brail inlcndod to bo fed to tho stock. It should not be given in too great quantity, as it is very laxativo and also from its sweetness very satisfy ing; but used with discretion it is a Valuable aid in compounding a ra tion, and especially is it useful to fted to cows near tho time of calv ing, when a relaxed state of the bowels is a great preventive of milk fever and garget." But it is not practical to fce'd mo lasses in this country as I can soc. The sugar beet is a valuable food, and so aro sweet tipples. That is about as far as we can apprc?afr" tho sweets in the matter of stock food." Farmers Voice. Over 31iinurin Grnln Crop. Tho fact that stable manuro con tains too much nitrogen and too little potash and phosphate makes it unsuitable for manuring the small grains. To furnish the mineral ele ments that grain crops require an overdose of manuro must be given, and this makes an excessive growth of straw. If tho stable manure is ap plied to corn and potato crops, the crop1? of oats, barley or wheat grown the second or" third years will need only mineral elements. This is es pecially true of winter wheat. It is sown after more or less summer cul tivation which has developed nitro gen from decaying matters in the soil. American Cultivator. Agricultural Xote. Tho ground should be Kept stirred, especially after rains well have formed a crust. We are not partial to hedge fence. It requires a good deal of work to keep it in shape. For cabbage worms use pyrcthrum, hot water at a temperature of 130 degrees, or kerosene emulsion. Just as soon as the work of any farm tool is done for the season, it should bo stored away out of rain and sun. Put gutters on the farm buildings so as to carry the water away from tho building and especially from the barn-yard. Clover, timothy and blue grass aro among the grasses that give satisfac tion wherever grown. They aro stand-bys. It is a mistake to suppose that orchards neod no care till they begin to bear. They need the most care while young. Keep cool-headed and maintain a perfect confidence in yourself. Ter rible results follow tho losing of one's head in emergencies. Lato cabbage will bo benefited by a generous application of liquid ma nure. Without being fed in this way a good deal may not head. There arc a variety of mixtures of grass that aro good, some of them much better than others for certain localities, but clover, timothy and blue grass will satisfy wherever they are grown.

He answered promptly. "Your sec ond husband, dear." The value of orchard grass is becom ing better understood, and there are many places where it is common to sow it m place of timothy cither alone or with clover.

There are very few fissures on the surface, and they strangely are in the proper place to form features. The only real projec tion from the surface is exactly placed for an eyebrow. The two humps are plainly to be seen, and the neck is curved beautifully. Anil Then lie Struck.
