AN INCIDENT IBy Harrydel 1 A^tguSita 1 She was sitting on the piazza when the news came to her. The Mar?chal Neil roses were blooming; the mock ing hird was turning every other bird's talent into significance. The little colored girl brought her a morning paper and laid it down on her lap and sat down at her feet to sort the stock ings in her work basket. Mrs. Rivers read the editorials and then turned to the war news. The headlines looked quiet and down the column were the names of two more identified dead bodies; only regulars. J. P. Rivers, private, was one of the names, follow ed .by the company and regiment uum bers. It was her only son. She laid the paper down in her lap and sat looking out over the straggly grass in the yard, over which the great bulky magnolia trees threw great shadows. The mocking bird was now singing a luxurious ecntralto solo, having fin ished imitating amateurs; the little ?darkey afc herfeefcwas thrusting her ' fingers into the stockings andhum * ming a tune. From the kitchen win dow floated out a folk song, which the cook was singing. Mrs. Rivers caught herself thinking of this tune and remembered that she had read somewhere that persons often pay the greatest attention fco trifles around them when a mental blow has struck them like a club. She remembered thinking how im possible a negro's beautiful tones are c to imitate; how it was claimed that the reason for Melba's great magnet . ism came from her being the only sing er who could strike the exact shade of sound that a negro c?ruld-then she wondered where she had read that. How wonC ?rful the cook was sing ing. From who did she inherit that hypnotic middle of the note. It was especially noticeable when she sang that, minor refrain, "Chariot of the Lord roiling on." Her mind then took up the thread of her boy's child . hood and she realized how her heart had ached through all those early misdemeanors of his; of that first awful fear-awakening that probably her boy was not morally responsible; that what she had forced herself to accept as childish indiscretions were growing into settled immoralities. She had prayed to God with clenched hands night after night that such would not be the case-that the boy would prove himself as much a man as the father. - The father had never seen this child. It was born while he was in the Army of the Potomac just as he was going into battle, and all he could do was to write the prayer that should death come to him while he wore the grey the boy might; grow up to be son, protector and guide to his mother. Death touched the father with honor. Men cheered him as he fell and wept when they dragged his riddled body off the battlefield. Dying, he carved his name high among the State's heroes, where men said he would have placed even had he lived and never fought with a musket. She thought of that first serious trouble the'boy had brought home and how she had spent her savings that j the town people might not hear of it; how she had schemed and planned to bear her grief over him, alone, so she would have no pity shown her. She was too proud for pity. . She grew to shrink from the newspapers, fearing she might see his name in great letters staring <tt her from the headlines, doing-she dared not think what. She wondered how the other mothers stood the:;: children's immoralities with such equanimity, going about their friends as if all were well. A loud ring at the door always made her nerves thrill until they ached. And now he was dead! For the first time she saw his name in print, but the letters were small and the people on the staff of the paper didn't seem to know that this was "Jack" Rivers of their own town. She was right in that surmise. The people on the paper didn't know. They hardly knew that there was a Mrs. Rivers in that town. They were of a newer generation and even the older town people never knew why this woman had grown so old and bowed and silent at fifty. Few visi tors came to the little old rambling house; she rarely went out except to Church on Sunday morning. She was a woman without confidantes. Her "sorrow had so absorbed her that she would have been- astonished to know that half the people in the town never remembered Jack's misdoings very keenly; the world was too swift, too full of worse men than he. There were a few staunch old friends whose hearts yearned with sympathy for this proud, broken-hearted woman, but they respected her tremendous strug gle too keenly to worry her with thc subject of her sorrow, and nothing they could ha?e said would have con vinced her that she would not bo pitied if she went out in the world. She had grown self-centered with j OF VICTORY. Ile Hallmark. lerald. absorbing one subject, as persons are apt to do if they allow their lives to become narrowed. She passed through the French win dow and said to the old cook: "Marse Jack is dead, Melinda; he was killed in the big battle last week." Melinda hadn't been brought up a Calvinist, and Marse Jack had been her baby. Morals or no morals, she gave him the loyalty dogs give men-without analy gjg-and ghe cried her poor old heart out through the long day. She yearn ed to go comfort his mother-draw her head down to her big lap and cry with her; but Mrs. Rivers had become a woman that women didn't easily touch. The next morning the paper had the name in staring headlines. The mother saw it across the length of the piazza as the colored girl brought it. "Oh, they have remembered!" she cried; "why not have let him rest in death:'' But the headlines told of glory. It was a dispatch from ?he Associated Press correspondent and it told how Rivers, private, had fallen in the front of his regiment, holding the old flag, cheering on men who were a quarter of a century older than he, planting his colors at the top of a hill, the first man there! Such was his death, in the mad heat, under an awful sun, bored by bullets, while he dug his flagstaff in the enemy's country, making crazy by his examplo hundreds of men who tugged like bloodhounds at a leash to get down the hill after the retreaters, and choke, strangle every man who shot at him. Then came columns about him from the local staff. This Rivers, they now remembered, was Jack Rivers, a townsman, an aristocrat who enlisted as a regular years ago; anecdotes of his childhood were told; stories of daring adventures when he had been the worst young scamp* in town and had led every other boy into mischief. There was an editorial telling how his father had died. This was written by the grey haired old editor who fought by the father's side. He touched the boy's death v?ith fine old phrases and gave him a place by his father's side. A cablegram came from the white haired Southern general, who knew the family well, and he told the moth er over the wire that death had given her another hero and that the dead boy lay in his old tent, where hun dreds honored him. The mayor sent to ask if the cablegram might be pub lished, and said he had* arranged to have the body brought up at the city's expense. On the day of the funeral the Church was thronged far past the inner doors with curious and interest ed groups of people, friends and ac quaintances. It was the first soldier's funeral in that town since 'G'5. The town people knew now that this was war. It was cannon as well as flag. It was bullets as well as talk. Every mother in the city had a heart ache for this bereaved mother. But when those people tell you the story of that day now, they talk no more of i grief-they tell of something that only a few understand. The crowd, at the gateway of the Church parted to let the coffin pass, aid hundreds of faces were lifted to the one mourner. Bozens of emo tional colored people were sobbing aloud. The town was showing its patriotism in this . funeral. Union veterans walked beside Confederate veterans, the local militia had turned out, the Sons of the Revolution and the Daughters of the Confederacy were side by side. The coffin was covered by the flag and was borne by colored servants. The mother, the only mourner, walked behind by the side of the grey haired friend of the boy's father. Kyes that were turned to her in pity grew large in astonish ment. Here was no bent, broken woman. She stood every inch her splendid height. Thc face was triumphant. The younger generation who had only known her since she looked so old and feeble hardly recognized her. The grey eyes looked squarely into the future; her step was buoyant; her mouth almost smiled. And only a few in the crowd knew that thc look meant that her boy would not be hu miliated now. He had died as his father's son should die! Down the long Church aisle she swept: as if going to a marriage altar instead of to a mourner's pew. Mer appearance was thc sensation of thc Church, and men and women passed to the door to sec her come out. They buried lum under the hanging Spanish moss by his father's memorial tablet. She stood r.s straight as a lance be side thc open grave and was almost beautiful with that triumphant look in her eyes. The bells of thc old Spanish cathe dral by the sea rang out the "Ave Maria;" a few good Catholics in the crowd crossed themselves. The sa lute was fired over a soldier's body. Justas the evening star swung into the glowing sky, an old man who had gone through the war with his father stepped from behind a great tree and placed the bugle to his lips. He tried twice and failed. Then "lights out" quivered and died on the air. The man sobbed aloud as he broke on the last note. He had gone in memory back to the night before the father's death. But the .mother stood there with that same look on her face, ready at last to look into the eyes of the coming years. Her husband's son had died a hero and the town had forgotten the past. "Wouldn't the dear God do so, too? A New Forage Plant. Last spring, attracted by an adver tisement, I purchased a small quantity of what were called "forage beans," but the true name of which is "velvet beans." The soil, a sandy loam, having been thoroughly plowed and harrowed and treated to "early trucker" at the rate of 400 pounds per acre, I planted the beans three feet by three feet, drop ping two to three beans in each check. A full stand was secured, and cultiva tion as for corn proceeded until the plants manifested a disposition to run. They grew rapidly and luxuriantly, whether in drought or in seasons fair. Betimes clusters of beautiful purple blossoms appeared on the vines, which latter shielded every inch of ground on the plat set apart for them. Later bean pods, fifteen or twenty per clus ter, appeared. I intended to have had the vines cut when in the blos soms, but absence from home and for getfulness on the part of the hired man prevented this. When the vines were cut the beans were rapidly ap proaching maturity. Quite a number in each cluster did mature. The yield, in carefully cured forage, was at the rate of three tons per acre. I have fed the vines, with bean pods on, to cows and horses with most satisfactory results. I have ground the beans and fed to poultry with similar results. Delighted with this new forage crop, I immediately cast about to gather all the information obtainable as to its history, the expe riments of others, etc. As a solid renovator, the velvet bean is believed to be superior to thc cow pea. It supplies, green or cured, an extraordinary quantity of the very best forage from the poorest and lightest soils. Dr. H. E. Stockbridge, of the Flori da Experiment Station, writes me that he regards the velvet bean as one of the strongest nitrogen gatherers among all leguminous plants. The beans contain quite as much nitrogen as cotton seed meal. Boiled, as we sometimes do cow peas, the velvet bean will prove to be a highly nutri tious food for cows, mules or horses. One must, of course, exercise care in the beginning in feetiing stock with the hay on the beans. An analysis of the velvet beans, as compared with the cow pea, made at the Florida station, showed that of protein the former contained -21.30 per cent, and the latter 14.30 per cent. ; while of nitrogen, the velvet berfn contained 60.5 per cent. ; the cow pea 43.GO per cent. The yield in beans per acre on the poorest soils is eighteen to twenty bushels. The velvet bean has been success fully planted as a fertilizer for orange groves near Orlando, Fla., by Mr. A. P. Newheart. They would perform the same service in peach orchards, care being taken as soon as the vines begin to run to throw them back from the trees. They are then left till frost, when the beans can be picked. The ground will be covered deeply with a most valuable mulch. If one should desire to get the best and the largest quantity of forage, one should cut the vines when in the blossom. I am satisfied that the velvet bean is an invaluable addition to the forage crops of the South. I have written this letter, giving experiments made with and observations of this new plant, in thc hope that they may in duce many of our people to test the velvet bean this year. I have no seed for sale.-Marth* Y. Cal ria, in Atlanta Constitution. - Mrs. A. to her friend Mrs. B. "0 dear ! just listen to my last expe rience. At the last ball my Alice made thc acquaintance of a young man who appeared to take a great fancy to her. As 1 considered him a very desirable suitor, I invited him often to dinner, and as he moreover appeared to be considerable of a gour mand, I hired a very accomplished cook. Now do you suppose he mar ried my daughter ? Xot a bit ol' it he married my cook !"

Co'Fee-Culture in Puerto Rico. 4joft'ee-raising ranks second as an industry in Puerto Rico, bringing wages into the pockets of thousands of earners and substantial profits to the coffers of the plantation-owner and exporter. Besides the assured income from a well-planted coffee plantation, the life of the planter and owner has many desirable features which recommend it as an occupation to be followed by the American investor. First, coffee must needs be ?aised in the higher attitudes of the picturesque rolling hills, and on the faces of the steep mountainous inclines which finish upward in sharp zigzagging narrow ridges, thus giving him a healthful, cool place of residence, away from the hot lowlands and fever country of the coast. Second, in the hills and moun tains living spriugs for uncontamina ted water-supply are found, and, at the worst, he has always at hand the cooler, frothing, dashing torrents of the rock-bound mountain streams from which to draw crystalline water. Third, and perhaps most important, no great technical training is required to raise coffee successfully, as is the case with raising sugar or tobacco. Fourth, the life is an easier one for the pro prietor-which is no small factor in a torrid zone, where excessive activity is sure to bring on fever in the case of the unacclimated-in that he travels in the shade of the forest which shel ters his coffee-trees from the hot sun, as he makes his overseeing tours, and works under cover where the pulpy berry is changed into the finished and polished bean of commerct. Good coffee-land ranges in price from twenty to five hundred dollars an acre, depending upon location and the topography of the site, and again whether it be virgin soil or in crop of varyiug age, the highest price being asked for five-year-old full-bearing trees, near the great military high ways, within easy-hauling distauce of coast shipping centres. It may be said that five hundred dollars is a fictitious value for any coffee plantation, and that the owner naming such a price is usually a Span iard, filled with a desire to return to Spain, but inwardly fearing, even iu his dislike of the American, that the new rule may mean un paralleled pro gress in the island. Two hundred dollars an acre for well-grown trees, with adequate shade above thein, has hitherto been considered a good round sum for a plantation, though as much as three hundred has been paid under Spanish rule.-Harper's Weekly. May Return >'ext Month. A letter received a few days ago from Col. "Wilie Jones by a relative gives the pleasing information that he is very well, and that the health of his com mand, the Second South Carolina regi ment, is unusually good. He says: "We have been in Cuba five weeks to-day. "When we had been in Florida five weeks we had 204 men sick, and 10 of them died. Only a few are now in the hos pital. So you see how much better this island is than our own State of Florida. The weather here is quite cool. I slept under blankets last night, and it is al most cold enough for frost. This coun try looks like dar country in May and June. Thc sugar cane lields are per fectly magnificent. From a. statement made in the letter it may be inferred that orders sending the regiment home are not unexpected', and it seems possible that the Second regiment may return next month. It is understood that Col. Jones is not averse to leaving the anny and entering again upon civil lite. He states in the letter referred to above that he hopes to bring his regiment home next mouth. From another source it has been learned that tin; officers as well as the men, for the most part, are anxious to leave Cuba before "the wann weather begins.-The State, Feh. 20. - "Do you think bringing women into politics would be ac aggreeable innovation ?"

The minister was at first inclined to refuse, but the humor of the situation tickled him, and he remarked as he reached thc bottom of the steps, i;\ou are quite right, my good woman:' I would not go in myself if I was not paid for it."_ Get a Start On Catarrh And Save Endless Sllf- Those who get a start on the dis ferinST which Winter ease oeiore t-he cold and disagreed .
