Better not be so lively with it. If you should hap pen to bit that little one coming past you'd have it worn out over your back in five minutes. That's our little Goldenrod, and there isn't a man in camp that wouldn't lay right down, and let her trot all over him if she wanted to. Odd name? Well, yes, rather. Maybe you'd like to know how she got it, and why she is here "Yon see, about twelve years ago, there was a gypsy camp right back of us for several weeks. One morning we found they had left during the night, and when the captain came out of his cabin he almost stepped on a bundle that lay in front of it. Picking it up he saw that it was something alive, and supposed the boys had played a joke on him. What was his surprise to find neither puppy, nor kitten, but a sweet baby face lookintr no at him from tho wrappings. Well, sir, he dropped into a chair just as if you'd struck him. " 'My gracious.' he says, 'what on earth shall wc do with it?' and he looked so helpless wc had to laugh at him. She put up her mite of a hand, and giving his long beard a trcntlc pull, nestled down in his arms as much as to say. 'Take care of me, of course.' He found a paper pinned to the white dress where its mother had written: 'For the sake of the mother who loves you, take care of this little one. I can't keep her, though she has a perfect right in the world.' "Well, we were in a fix. At that time there wasn't a woman in camp, but you'll most always find where there's a lot of men together, that one of them is pretty sure to be about as handy as a woman, and, as good luck would have it. that was the case here. After we had all of us had our sav, and some of the most ridiculous Biitrsrestions had been made in sober earnest, Dan Drapr steps up, and ! says he, 'Look here, cap'n, I reckon I can take about as good care of the little thing as any of us. I helped raise six kids of my own, and if you say so I'll turn nursa.' 'Thanks, Draper,' says he, handing her over with an air of relief. 'It's a big job oft! my hands. She's a little beauty, and seeing she has come among us we must not let her tuffcr for want of care.' "Well, the Ion?, and the short of it is. wc all adopted Her. and co shares in her e.ponse. She knows pcrfcctlv well how we idolize her, but she never takes advantage of it as most children would. The captain is her favorite, and I believe she would lay down her life for him if she thought she was helping him by so doing. "As she grew older she developed a perfect passion for flowers, especial ly the goldenrod. Many a time have we picked her up fast asleep in the field with a great bunch of it clasped in her arms. She wears it in her hair, and fastens it in her dress, and her pleasure in her curls lies in the "vou'd laugh to skk dan coxin them OUT MOItNIXGS."' fact that they are golden. You'd laugh to see Dan comb them out morninjrs. You'd think his life depended on getting every hair in line. There's plenty of women hero now, but he declares he won't give up that job. After he hat got them all in order he fastens a spray of golden rod among them, if it is the season for it, and acts as proud over it as if he was a French hair dresser. ".She had no name so we got to call- i mg her that, and. i guess she will always go by it, least was out here. "Itut the pecial thing for which we all nearly worship her happened two years ago, when that little tot saved 2(Mt of us from a, terrible death. Yon see. it was in the fall, and she was running around after her precious goldenrod. While she was sitting among it making a wreath she hoard voices Then steps passed by, but as the flowers were tall and thick she was hidden from sight. As two men approached she heard one of them pay, I 11 pay tho ca tain for turning mo out yet. You can count on me,' and the other one answered, 'All right. Come along, ani we'll talk it over with the other fellers.' "That was enough for Goldenrod Some danger threatened her beloved captain, and she followed them keep ing out of sight, and yet within hear ing, with true gypsy instinct. About half a mile out the men stopped, air.l blew a whistle long and clear. Four or five others joined them, and Golden rod listened with terror to hear theiii plan to come upon us while we slept, and, by placing giant powder here and there, send us all into eternity without our having the slightest no tion of how wc got there. They had already sent a messige to the captain ' that would deem him a war. and meant to catch him on the road, ani dual with him at their leisure She knew it was instant death if she was discovered, but the brave heart uever j faltered, a"hd it was not till the con ference broke up llut j-he ..Uirted for home.

He rode back i to mefther. and as he came up to him she put out her hand with such a look of love and thankfulness that, he in voluntarily stooped and kissed her. " 'What :s it. mine girlie?' he asked, end she told how he had received a false call, and the danger that lay in waiting for him, and those left at the camp. As she finished speaking the poor child's strength gave way, and she would have fallen to the ground if he had not caught hrr in bis arms. You can just bet w- were a scared lot. lur we thought the was dying, but w vjl I Vl.i ',,. . she had only fainted, and opened her eyes again in a few moments. The captain carried her back to camp in his arras, while I led her pony. "On the way we saw Jack Siddons and Nate Carpenter, both of -whom said Goldenrod, were in the plot Be fore they reached us we raised our re volvers and ordered 'hands up.' They looked surprised and sullsn, but had sense enough to see that wo had the best of them, and obeyed. When wo got to camp we put them in confine ment separately, and it was not long before we had all the particulars of a most vi'lainous plot. By the next night we bad captured the whole gang. "Poor little Goldenrod was com pletely prostrated. Delirium set in, and for two weeks the whole camp was ns gloomy as a funeral. We had a good doctor, though, and he pulled her through, but it was a tough job. We were so thankful fo her recovery we all clubbed together, and gave him S100 extra. "Yes, sir, our little Goldenrod is the light of this camp, and when j'ou come around this way if you want to get into anyone's good grace all you've got to do is to be 'specially kind to her. "Here she comes again with her captain. No, wc have never found out who she is, but I'd stake my life it's all right, and all we fear is that some relative will happen along and recognize her. Don't care how many she has if they will settle among us, but it would break up the camp if she should leave. "Quite interested in her? Well, everyone is for that matter. See, here', stranger, seems to me you and the little girl have a good deal the same look, about the eyes especiallj. Noticed it first time I glanced at you. What, going? Well, g od luck to you. Better wait and speak to Goldenrod No? All right then. When you come around this way give us a call. Good morning." WAS A NIGHT OF TERROR. A Tramp, a Station Master, and an Oyster Can Bar a Time. At a way station on tho Louisville and Nashville last winter tho station keeper had an exciting time, says tho Louisville Commercial. It was midnight and the station being in a deserted part of tho country, had been left by the loafers. It began to rain. The station-keeper was not sleepy and determined to sit up a gt cater part of tho night, especially us he hud an unusual sum of money in his cash drawer and he felt un easy about it Robberies of stations and farm-houses down tho lino had been irequent So he settled himself down to a vigil. As ho felt hungry he took a can of cove oysters down from the shelf and bet it in the stove. A moment afterward there was a knock at the door and ho admitted a cold, drenched tramp, whom he al lowed to lie down by tho fire. Just then a train came round tho bend and tho station agent stepped out side to display tho go ahead signal. He folt distrustful of tho tramp and feared that ho would fool with the money-drawer. As the train passed he hurried into tho room, and had scarcely opened tho door and seen tho tramp standing by the stove with something glistening in his hand, when there was a report, and tho agent felt a stinging sensation over his eye. Although blinded with blood from the wound he drew his pistol and fired five times into the room. Ho then dashed round to the rear of the station and hid under the platform. After an hour's time he crawled out, resigned to the loss of his money, and thankful that he had escaped with his life. Tho room was dark, tho (ire was out. Tho tramp had evidently escaped with his booty. Sorrowfully the agent lit a match, hut instantly dropped it when a startling sight met his eyes. Ho lit anotUcr one, found a candlo and gazed about at the sccno of dosolation. The lamp had been shattered by a bullet A cheese had been perforated with two bullets. 'J ho room was filled with smoke from tho stovepipe, which a fourth bullet had perforated. Strangest of all, the room was filled with cinders, and oysters frescoed everything. Oystors, oysters, oys ters, cove oysters. The agent gasped and realized it all. Tho can had re mained in the stovo too long, and being scaled up had exploded from the steam when tho tramp poked the fire. Of course the tramp skipped when the shooting commenced. The cash drawer was intact A piece of tin was found near the front door where it had recoiled off tho agent's face. The agent spent the remainder of the night in mending the store door. A Olmmtrous Fall. In au Episcopal boarding school, not long ago, the scholars and teach ors were assembled for morning praj'er. The reading and singing were over and all were resuming their seats, when one of tho young ladies, of a vory 6hort and thick stature, missing her chair, seated herself with a thud on tho floor. No body smiled. The fallen one, em barrassed into the momentary loss of common sense, retained her lowly seat, opened her prayer-book, and appeared to be examining its con tents. The rector then arose and began reading the first morning les son. Ho read from the fifth chapter of Amos, as follows: "The virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall no moro rise; she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up." This was too much; the voice of the rector trembled as he looked up and saw the fallen virgin; tho scholars turned red in their faces, and the exercises were brought to a hasty close. Argonaut Out of l'ocket anil Momacli. The story is told at Homburg of a young man who is more popular than rich, and who was ono day asked to dine with a royal party on the com mon understanding that each was to pay for himself otherwise, that it j was a -'Dutch treat,'-as tho Ameri cans term it, or a "Homburg dinner, " as the Knglish call it The hero treated respect others, object. himself lightly, with due to his pocket, while tho to whom money was no regaled themselves hand- somelv.

Every Farmer Neoia to Plant Frali How Tobacco Is Cared A Tea With Laying Hem and the Uesult Stock. Kotes 'HaBelio!d Help. . Fralt for. the Family. ' Apparently one great reason why farmers neglect to provide many of the most desirable articles " for home consumption is that some writers who attempt to give directions for cultivation make such a long story and give such rainuto de.criptions of their particular methods, as if every item was absolutely necessary in all cases, that farmers are led to think there is too much to it for them.to over learn or practice, says tho Mir ror and Farmer. Take strawberries, for instance. Tho printed directions have given those who have never tried it to understand that tho busi ness was as delicate as trimming hats, and required as much skill. as surgery and as much care as growing tropical fruits. If the plain statement had .been made at first that strawberries could, be grown on any soil that would pro duce corn or potatoes, and that ex tra care and preparation would pay just a?, well on ono as tho other, thore ould have been moro of the fruit grown, and cultivators would havo learned for themselves by de grees what looked so formidable when spread before them all at once. People should stop and think that good soil, well manured and pre pared, is what is needed for any crop, and that little extras .may be added at pleasure, and favorable lo cations and qualities of soil taken advantage of as occasion offe.-s. Every farmer knows how to proparo a patch of ground for carrots or parsnips, and seems to think it nec essary to use a little more care than ho would for corn or potatoes..,and thinks there is no mystery about it; tho same preparation is enough for strawberries or anything clso. and tho extra care in preparing soil and expense in tilizinjr it would pay as the en the field crops as in the garden, and tho area can and should bo re duced in proportion. Strawberries were only taken for an example, but the same conditions exist in regard to other small fruits and even tivc fruits. Aiany men who havo fine sbadc tros and productive apple orchards have been led to think they could not raise cherries or plums by seeing all the ills and drawbacks which they might meet in the life of a tree arrayed together in one article, which wa1 of great value to tho cul tivator who had mado a start. By studying the natural requirements of trees or of thoo most nearly like them, much may bo learned, and it is not always safe to assume that a change is an improvement. Shading the roots is very import ant for some trees and shrubs, but this i often forgotten when shrubs which grow well in forests or hedge rows or among the ferns in tho pas ture are transplanted to the rich soil of the garden and expected to do much better. These little things which are not thought of often cause a serious failure, which is charged to luck or left a mystery. Farmers havo learned pretty thor oughly that tho kitchen gaulen sup plies the most healthful and enjoya ble part ot the subsistence of the family, and by the addition of such fruits as might bo grown with but little extra effort, tho pleasures of tho season would be largely ill created and the health of the family protected. An experienced cultiva tor says the expense of setting out and caring for a quarter of an acre of strawberries is not far from $10 a year, not counting the plants, and these can be found in abundauce after the bed is once started. A plot of a sixteenth of an acre would supply a largo family during the season of ripening, and enough moro to put up for winter or supply a few poor neighbors. (let a spot ready and set the plant- next spring, and tako care of them. C'uritia: Toii:icco. Tobacco as it ripens, changes col or, assuming a piebald or spotted ap pearance, and tho leaves feel sticky, and when bent break off short Those appearances indicate that it is ready to cut The dry house should bo in order, and sticks provided. Tho plants are cut close to the ground and allowed to wilt, so as to toughen them, when they are taken to the dry house. All the handling must be done with the utmost care, so as not to bruise or break the leaves. . Some growers practice split ting the stem down to within six inches of the ground before cutting, claiming that tho tobacco cures better. When thus split tho plants are hung astride the sticks: when not split tho plants aro sometimes nailed to tho sticks and sometimes hung barn, acres. with strings. A tobacco to hold two and a half should be twenty-four feel and with posts high enough square to give five tiers, the lowest six feet from the ground. Some practice fire-curing, which is dono by build ing fires in holes dug in tho ground under the tobacco, and allowing the heat atid smoke to pass up through It, and this is necessary when the buildinsrs are crowded, especially in damp weather. Others prefer to build larger barns, and give the plants more room, thus avoiding the expense and ri;k of lire, as there is always danger of burning the build ing. When the tobacco is thoroughly cured. so that the stem of the leaf shows no sap, it is ready to strip. This must be done in damp weather. The leaves are stripped from the stem and assorted into their grades. Ten to fifteen leaves are put in a bunch and tied together at the butts, and this makes what is called a "hand of tobacco." Farmers Voice. A Test With iMjlnx Hen. A large majority of those who keep poultry are of the opinion that in order to have the hens under the best condition for laying, a male must be in the yard with them. If eggs are desired with the object of hatching chicks it is necessary to have a male with the hens, but as hens will lay as many egus when no males are present as when with them, the feeding of a lot of useless males may be discarded. Ueccnt ex periments by Mr. W. P. Wheeler, at the New York experiment station, Geneva, in which he selected four yards of pullets, in order to test the value of the males, demonstrated, that males are entirely unnecessary. In fact, the pullets in yards contain-, ir.g no males not only layed more cngs than, did the pullets that were with males, but also produced eggs at less cost A writer, says: , $ The demonstration of this fact by an actual test will effect a revolution in the keeping of laying hens. It moans s saving of food, less dis position to quarrel, bettor keeping qualities of the eggs, and a cheapen ing of tho cost of the eggs, as woll as a saving of tho spaco occupied by males which should bo given to hens or pullets. Those who desiro to hatch chicks can select a dozen of the best females and confine them in a yard with a pure-bred male. As one male can sire a thousand chicks in ono year, it is plain that but iew ninlrv are necessary. The usual '"practice is to allow ono male with ten hens, which compels tne leoaing oi a hundred males if as many as u thou sand bens are retained. The. greatest advantage derived, in addition to the increase of eggs and tho saving of food, labor and space is that eggs from hens not with males will keep three or four times as long as will cgs from hens that are with males. If eggs aro to be preserved it is detrimental keep males in tho flocks. When is considered that a largo number to it of males become oxpensivo, and' that tho hens will produce moro eggs when tho males aro not present, and also that the problem of preserving I eggs is solved by keeping no males. the farmer should hercattor mako it a rule to do away with males ontirely, unless chicks aro to bo hatched. With the non-silting breeds, where oggs only aro desired, and not chicks the malo is a useless member of the flock. Journal of Agriculture. Plau tine &wart Potato Vine. All potatoes grow from eyes, una in planting the sweet potato it is common to tako these sots after they havo mado considerable growth of vine with root attached. In cultiva ting the sweet potato wherever a vine is covered with soil roots arc formed and a new plant is the result Tho great difficulty in keeping sweet potatoes through the winter has sug gested . tho t plan of cutting tho vino into lengths of three or four feet and kcoping these in pits, to ba planted at the proper season next spring. A layo. of vines is alternated with a layer of dirt. The whole is covered with straw, and then additional soil is piled over all so as to prevent freezing. The vines cost nothing, and when well kept grow and produce as well as if the seed tubers woro used. Tho leaves should be removed beforo burying tho stalks. It hardly seems poss.blo for this plan to bitcces.! ex cept far South w here tho cold weath er lasts onl.- two or three wcekr.

It will not pay to have a hired hand with an uncontrollable temper to manage thc horses, even if ho docs work for a small price. He will make fools of ovory horse on the place. If you have no other reason for keeping an animal through tho winter than the hope of getting a higher price for it in tho spring, it may be better for you to sell it as soon as you can. A writer thinks that under present conditions of keeping sheep tho aver age farmer cannot afford to keep sheep for any one object, but rather make wool growing, mutton and lambs each return a part of the profits. In some of thc markets of the country choice cattle aro selling for $2 por hundred more than common kinds. The stock men cannot atlord to overlook these facts, but should put the lesson it teaches into practice. Stock misers should keep well posted on the markets. While it is all right for the middleman to have a reasonable margin for his troub'c. it is not right for him to mako more in a few hours than the man who raised thc stock gets for a year or two of care and labor.

Boyce in the Ladies' Home Journal. "A matt getting all the raindrops from the points of an umbrella which he holds over a lady signifies courtship, but when a man keeps. the lion's share of the article; giving the lady the rain drops, it denotes marriage. To carry an umbrella under the arm at an angle indicates that the individual following will lose an eye, while to hold it just high enough to injure passers' eyes and men's has, signifies 'am a woman.' Lastly, the loan of an umbrella is syn onomous with an act of ejrreerious folly." Tried and Approved by the Billions.

The most honorable oflice in thc Ilo man republic was that of consul. There were always two elected every year, one each from thc patricians and ple bians. The consul must be at least 43 years old and must have held the oflice of quacster, aedild and praetor. Thc consuls were the heads of the republic, dis -barging all public functions, such as receiving ambassadorsor assembling the senate. Their insignia were those j ot a. King except a crown. I hey were always attended each by twelve lietors or servants, bearing the boes or bun dles of rods with an ax in thc center. Thc lietors proceeded only one at a time, the lietors of thc other follow ing him. Thc year was named after them, and anv laws nassed at their rc- I fnmtnoiiilntinn nls." wotil. lv their names. Thev commanded thc armies ! of the republic, and when both were with thc same army they commanded on alternate days. Under thc emper ors thc ofticc became an empty honor, though surrounded with much greater state. Up and Down of Kinc. Louis Phillipc and Queen Victoria were once walking in the garden at Eu, when he offered her a peach. The queen seemed rather embarrassed how to skin it, when Louis Phillippc took a large clasp knife from his pocket. When a man has been a poor devil like myself." he said, '"obliged to live on fifty sous a day, he always carries a knife. I might have dispensed with it for the past few years, htill I do not wish to lose the habit one does not know what may happen." Argonaut. Coe Coagli Dalsam Im he lil-t and be.

Some of the English towns anil cities hayc introduced a device for ventilating sewers a Bunsen gas burner operating to heat to a high temperature a scries of cast iron cones over t he surfaces of which the sewer grasses have to pass on their way out to the atmosyherc, which by such contact arc entirely de stroyed. In order to obviate all dan ger of explosion caused by leakage, this new safety furnace consists of a scries of cylindrical rings or segments, each mechanically fifed; an intermedi ate ring divides the combustion cham ber from the vertical air passages form- ( ed between the inner and outer rings of thc furnace; the heat of thc furnace is convc3'cd to the outer ring by means of thick cast iron webs that form tiers of air channels through which thc up- rising sewer air pjsses, and the burner , is supplied with air taken from the out side of thc '"destructor column.'

A Shadow!? Lamp. The latest reported improvement in lamps is,a device intended to obviate the objectionable shadow thrown, on the ceiling by most regenerative lamps, and to overcome some other features which detract from the value of the principle. The difficulty of the shade thrown upward is met by forming the upper, partrpf tho'lamp of etched Orna mental glass instead of haying a, metal lic dome.f as is ordinarily .the case. A good illumination is thus obtained without the loss of any down ward, light two streams of hot air arc supplied to the burners, one being heated by means of the regenerator,: which is of cast iron, the other being wanned "in its passage through the, lamp casing. An other point dealt" with, in this construc tion, is the deposit of carbon on the ceiliug. which is usual with such lamps; this is practically reduced to' nothing, first by the small amount df gas burned per hour 3 and the perfect combus tion obtained, and the next by the pro ducts of combustion being emitted from the lamp laterally instead of being pro jected upward toward the ceiling. This arrange men t hasthe merit of simplic ity, and the effort is very satisfactory. Sfclloaa'Ceauamploii Cwi Iohl on a guarantor, it -ur- Itu-ipient Conun:tv ttoo. IXBlaebvsl COUCH Cure.
