"1 dunno' anything about 'couhln'ts;' I know about 'didn't.'said John Macklefresli. doggedly, still combing that perverse chin into the air. "This I know, he's got the two hundred, and I hain't, and I'll never?"' "Don't. John, dear,'' interposed his meek little wife. " Well, bein' a deacon and a? " Christian," suggested his wife, seeing he skipped that hard word. " I s'posc I can't say I won't forgive him. But they ain't no commands between the leds of that air Book about?" ''Twenty-five cents to pay,'1 said a small, business-like voice at the door. Mrs. >j:i<:klrfrosh turned the rough, envelo|ic over fearfully in her hands, trembling, as people do, at telegrams. I wonder if the telegraph boys ever get used to it. " Don't be bothering, Alice," said her husband, pushing her aside, not ungently, though his words were rough as usual. This is what he read when he had torn a thin outlet at the end of the envelope: ' Your brother Samuel died this morning. Come at once.'' The Western Union telegraph company has a good deal to answer for?but then so-have a great many other people. John Maeklcfrcsh did not swoon away on the doorstep, or throw tip his hands with a piercing cry, or any of those things. He mechanically took out a quarter from his loose change pocket, careful even in this moment to count the pennies given in change, shut the door, _ . handed the dispatch to his wife, and .. ..lb,./! imav in tin- window Tt was only his lu-art fainted.

And then that cutting letter! Had it reached him rUcfore he died, or was it only his poor stricken brother's family that would read the brief harsh words ? He turned to his wife, who sat holding the dreadful envelope, sad, but doubting if she would be wise to speak yet to him. "Get your things on, will ye," he said, in a voice that sounded dry and harsh even to himself. "I'll be round Witll OKI 15111V to lilt: jrom uunr. wrap up warm and take a soapstone. I'll have the buffaloes. It's mortal cold." She was ready and waiting when he brought Billy around. The house could take care of itself. She locked it. They had some sixty miles to ride. In the course of it his tongue became somewhat loosed, and he told in broken and jerky sentences into her sympathetic ear what little of the chaotic grief and remorse he was able to put into words. " My. lyother. after all. Used to play together when we was little. Hum, t t hum." A man grows very tender when he goes back to the days when he was "little." " Bought me a pair o' skates once, when I wanted some. Older than me? Samuel was always a making me kites ana wnisnes ami an scecn rattle-traps. Never could seem to get along. Big i' family? Yes. I oughter to ha' helped hiro. Ain't a man livin' could scratch anything but moss ofT them rocks he culls a farm. I'll help the boys?see if I don't."' It was a long, cold ride. Mrs. Macklefresh wrapped the buffaloes higher and fl:? higher till at last she was quite exti guished in their folds, and her husband thought on drearily alone. Almost there. The house is in sight. A long, low, unpainted affair. The oldest inhabitant could not remember when its owner had had money enough to naint it. Here at last. ''Who-o-a, Billy! You remember the old hitching post though it is so long since you've stopped at it. There hasn't beeu much visiting lately. Remember how brother used to rush out in his old blue coat, Alice, and?" I " Why, John ! Why, John!" I Mrs. Macklefresh rose up out of her I ^ v enveloping furs like a startled Esquimaux. . She pinched her husband's arm hysteri- | cally, and ho in his turn rubhecl his eyes ! 1 half out at sight of the apparition that j confronted them. "Come in ! come in!" it cried, cordially. "You must be half frozen, both ! of you." !1 " How do you come here ?*' said John i Macklefresh, fearfully, not stirring a step in answer to this invitation. "IIow do you come, 1 should say," I I returned brother Samuel, for it was lie, i i blue coat, brass buttons and all, "Come, j t are you dead ? You act so.'' i j "No," broke in Mrs. John, who had 1 found a tongue, "but we thought you j i were. It said so?the telegraph did. ' : We came up to the funeral !" j i And so, between hysterical tears and | ] laughter and tpiestions that nobody pre- I ] tended to answer, they unloaded and got ; | into the house. At least Mrs. John did. ' : The two brothers .-.idled olT behind the j barn. There John got hold of brother i i Samuel's hand and shook it silently and j ; solemnly, while the strong tears ran down j I both their rugged faces. Neither offered i or asked explanations.

C'rolTut, in a letter from IIol- j , land, says: I rode a hundred milesacross ! ' the country yesterday. It is about as i j monotonous as the Jersey llats. I don't , see how on earth it is that Dutch artists, | , old and new, have succeeded in express- | r ing so much beauty and sentiment in I ' their pictures of these level lands, which I . possess intrinsically so little of sentiment or beauty. Most of our way lay through j the polders?land which was once the bottom of the sea. No fences anywhere, j Along the railroad, on the land side, was j . a broad deep ditch, level full of water, j ;mil :if nVlit nntrles with this other ; ditches at intervals (if u few rods flowed j ' level full of water and disappeared in the | ' grass far inland. On the ocean side of the j j train a huge embankment rose, and sails j were visible above it, and foamy waves ! , leaped up here and there and peeped | , over jealously at the fertile acres and the I 'j broad-backed brindlc cows grazing. <>n the embankment windmills, with treinen- ' dous wings like the sails of a merchantman. worked their pumps in sluggish . confidence of victory. Every fifty rods ^ above the ditches wooden gates rose to ^ cover small bridges set there for conven- ! icncc?about the only object, except the * cows, to break the vision. Attempts are ^ being made to grow trees, and at rather . distant intervals a little house is set. and J the occupant has carted on enough <lrv j vegetable mold to make himself a garden. J All tliat T have ever heard about the j neatness of these Dutch people seems ^ justified. lie who rises early will see ( the inhabitantsswarminglikebees. armed ! | with the implements of renovation. .Men j t are on their knees on the sidewalks: i women with scrubbing-brushes cling to j j the windows with violent gestures: the ^ knockers shine like gold. At the church j door lies a mat of sewed rags, and by the j side of the mat stands a man. his brow j furrowed with anxiety, and when 1 pass without seeing it he clattcrsat me a word J or two of guttural expostulation, and ' pointing to the mat turns me back to > wipe my feet on it.

There : were no stalls and no mangers. The ( rooms were finislied in the native woods j of the Rhine valley, and much of it was , polished. Each cow's tail was fastened , up to a ring in the wall, and a brook of I ( fresh water ran through every room.

The market-place ((insists of a square which has been laid out in | 1 streets anil sidewalks, lmt is provided ; with no buildings. This market was ' built about three years a?;o by tin- city ! upon the site ol* tie* old Hlccekcr street j car stables. The local rulers wisely de- | 1 eided to make the (Jansevoort market j a source of revenue, and consequently each farmer who brings a ' wagon-load of produce to this place I is taxed twenty-live cents for the privi- | lege of disposing of it. The merchant in j charge of each cart is required to pur-: chase a ticket, which he is expected 10 j keep in siirlit by adorninjr ln< lint or some l other portion of his apparel with tlie j same until he leaves tin- market. The j ticket sets forth in simple lan^na^e tin- j fact that lie has paid into the finance de- j part men t of the controller's otlicc the i sum of twenty-live cents for a "stand" j in the market. By the term "stand" is meant standing room for his wayon and j the beasts of burden thereto attached. Around the edjje of the card are placed numbers for the various days in the j 1 month. The day for which the ticket is j l^ood is ])iinched by the official who is assigned to this duty. The unfortunate : ' produce merchant who enters the market i ' nlace without a properly punched ticket ! is turned over to the police, who proceed ' 1 to give him an example of how legal 1 punching.is done. ; i The market is generally known among ! 1 its patrons as the "(loose" market, proh- j 1 ably for the reason that no goose not | ' human was ever sold there. The market 1 is devoted almost entirely to the sale of ' ' vegetables. Other descriptions of prod-j | uce are rarely bought there. The sellers ; are, as a rule, farmers and small produce i 1 speculators from Long Island, while the ' ' great majority of the buyers are licensed j ' vendors and grocers. The countrymen ! ' range their wagons along the pavements, j close to the sidewalks, where the pur- j 1 chasers examine the wares and make i their bargains. The latter generally have j ; their carts in attendance, and bring them j alongside the country wagons when the 1 time comes for taking possession of the produce which they have bought. The I market place is nearly as large as I'nion | 1 square. The stores fronting on the i square are nearly all occupied by fruit ' and vegetable dealers. There are several '< cheap eating houses in the neighborhood, | ' at which the countrymen refresh them- > 1 selves after having disposed of their ! ' produce. These places are well patron- j I i/ed, as a rule.

The Earth Still Vigorous. That the earth has not yet, however, entirely lost it-, vigor is evident from the ] .lava outburst, which is the most stupend- i mis phenomenon of the kind on record. , So long a* the old earth is eipial to efforts , of this kind we need not mind its latter , end. When the blood leaves the cold , cxtreniities and the heart has not vigor . enough to send it to the surface, the end is not far olf: and when volcanic and ( earthquake manifestations cease from olf tin; face of the earth, the end may be ( within almost measurable distance. 1 Much of its ocean water will have been | absorbed by the underlying rocks, and I ] the atmosphere may be rarer and less life-giving than it is now; by-and-bye, with the last ray of internal heat, the last drop of water and last particle of air. | all life will have vanished and a dead ( earth will shine upon a dead moon. So ( long. then, as the mother of us all has . any vigor left we must expect her to ] manifest it occasionally, as she has done , recently at Jsehia and Java: so that. , lamentable and regretable as has been I ( the loss of life at these places, the catas- j | Irophes are not entirely without their | hriyht side. Only when the earth is as ( lead as the moon will such catastrophes j k'come imiiossilile.

The study of literature nourishes youth, entertains old age, adorns prosperity, solaces adversity, is delightful at home, unobtrusive abroad, deserts us not by day nor by night, in journeying nor in retirement.

Some of the best things that nii'ti of genius or of character accomplish are never traced home to them.

Horses are not shod in Egypt. Assyria or Palestine. The latter country was v.ipplied with horses by the Egyptians. Solomon paid lot) shekels of silver, equal in value to for each horse. This was :i high price, the difference in relative value of a shekel and a given weight of wheat being considered. Isaiah speaks of horses " whose hoofs shall be counted like flint "?a valuable quality where they were shoeless. The Syrians and llittites were supplied with Egyptian horses by Solomon, who thus turned an honest penny by this means. Aristotle and Pliny mention the covering of horses' feet in stony places to protect the hoofs from breakage and wear, but it is probable that such a covering \ was a bandage or boot, and used principally on long journeys. Suetonius refers < i<> the dismounting of Vespasian's muleteer to shoe his mules. Wrappings of 1 plaited fiber, sueli as hemp or broom, , were used, as was also leather. In.Japan the horses have clogs of twisted straw, itf whieh a large supply is curried on a 1 long journey; when worn.another is immediately applied. The American cus- ] torn of shoeing would, no doubt, appear ] a barbarous custom in their minds. Captain Cook refers to the fact that the Si- | berians and Kamtchatkans use traveling . socks for their dogs. i Camels in old times were similarly I provided. These boots were drawn over ; the feet, and it does not appear that iron or other metallic plates were nailed to the hoofs. Such boots wen; shod with metal for the rich. The mules of Nero were shod with silver; those of his wife. ( Pappo-a. with gold. For less stately J purposes mules were shod with iron, j Homer mentions brazen-footed steeds, i probably a merely metaphorical ex- \ pression. implying strength. JWittijjn flutes ami Alexander experienced ?;reat , iliflienlty with their cavalry, owinj; to | the soreness of the unprotected feet of llie horses on lon?* marches. The first certain mention of shoes bcin^ nailed to horses' hoof is in the works of Kmperor Leo, ninth century. The practice of shoeing horses is said to have been introduced into Knyland liv William I. In two respects the shoeing of horses in Holland differs from ours. First, to prevent slipping, the forehoofs are pared j nway to the toe and the shoe so fitted t that the toes do not touch the ground j when the foot stands flat, the weight , resting 011 the middle and heel of the ] shoe. Second, the shoe is nailed on < perfectly flat and close to the foot, which ' is flattened to receive it: the iron is thereby * deprived of all .spring, and the hold of , the nail is undisturbed.

I was unable to work, and suffered the mo3t when walking or standing for any length ot time; hau two doctors, out received no benefit from either. I had a natural antipathy against patent medicines, but I toll yon that is all gono. I saw Hunt's Remedj advertised, sent and got a battle, und with the first dose I began to get well. I continued the use of it, and am now around [is you seo me, and am perfectly well, and tim about to go to work. 1 consider it the greatest medicine for kidney complaints ever jet discovered.

'How did you ever come to devise this chemer' " I have been working at it ever since I was larco enough to bend a pin." The above remark was addressed to Mr. Seth Green, the veteran fish culturist, who is known to the entire world, and his reply indi"jitviq tho pxtont of his labors. "When I was quite young," he continued. "I woulil h'o on the limbs of trees that reached out over the water entire afternoons, watching the movements of fish and studying their habits. In this way I discovered many characteristics which were before unknown. I saw. as every observer must see, the destructive elements that are warring against fish, and I realized that unless something was rlnno the life in the streams of this country would becomo extinct. To counteract this disastrous end became my life-work, and I am happy to say that I have seen ita accomplishment." " Wero you successful on the start?" " No, indeed. Up to that time all artificial attempts to hatch and raise fish from the spawn ha/1 failed, and I was compelled to experiment in an entirely new manner. The work was a careful and tedious one, but 1 finally succeeded, and to-day I am able tc hatch and raise fully seventy-five per cent, ol all spawn." " Enormous! Why, that is a larger per 4 41 IUa -rrr\rrflt Q hlrt f\Y ccniti^e i/Uiui uituci mu rcgomwiw v. animal kingdoms produco iii a natural condition." " I know it, but we exercise tbe greatest care in the start, and guard the littlo fellows until they become able to care for themselves." The foregoing conversation occurred at Caledonia, where the representative of tni< paper was paying a visit to the State fist natcheries. It has been his privilege to re port very many interesting sights within th( past twenty-live years, but the view pre senterl here exceeds in interest anything evei before attempted. " How many fish are there in those ponds Mr. Green i" "As we have never attempted to counl them it will be impossible to say. They ex tend way up in the millions though. W< shipped over three millions out of the pondi this year and there seemed to be as many af terwardas before. We have nearly ever] variety of the trout family and many hy brids." "You speak of hybrids, Mr. Green. What do you mean by that <" "I have experimented for years in cross ing the breed of the various fish and am stil working upon it. We cross the female salmoi trout with the male brook trout, and thuj produce a hybrid. Then we cross the hy brid with the brook trout, which gives u; three-quarter brook trout and one-quartei salmon trout. This makes one of the fines' AkVioq in t.hn world. He has all the habits o the brook trout, lives in both streams am lakes, develops Vermillion spots on his sides rises readily to a fly, is far more vigorous anc fully one-third larger than ordinary brool trout of the same age. The possibilities ol development in the fish world are great, anc we are rapidly ascertaining what tney are.1 As the man of news watched the counto nance of Mr. Green while he was giving thi above account, ho could not but feel that hi was in the presence of ono of the few inves tigators who, from a rich and life-long expe rience, bring great benefit to the world. Le the reader imagine a strong and stalwar frame, surmounted bv a head strongly re soinbling that of Socrates, and covered witl a white silky beard and luxuriant pray hair fseth Green, the father of fish culture, is i Eicture of health, and the reporter could no olp remarking so. ' If you had seen me the last winter am spring, young man, you might have though differently," said the veteran. <? U/\n- ia +l,nf. ?' Orio wnnlrl t.Mnlr +/? Innl at you, that sickness was something of whici you knew nothing." " And so it was until last winter. I wen down into Florida in the fall to see what kini of fish they had in that State and study thei habits, and was attacked with malaria in it severest' form, and when I came home I n ali/ed for the first time in my life that I wa sick. My symptoms were terrible. I ha dulJ, acting pains in my head, limbs an around my back. My appetite was wholl; gone, and I felt a lack of energy such as I ha often heard described but had' never exper enced. Any one who has ever had a sever attack of malaria can appreciate my cond tion. I went to bed and remained there a spring, and if there ever was a sick man was the one." "It seems hardly possible. How did yo come to recover so completely?" "My brother, who had been afflicted by severe kidney trouble and threatened wit Bright's disease, was completely cured by remedy in whicn I had great confidence, therefore tried the same remedy for my mi laria, and am happy to say I am a well ma to-day, and through the instrumentality < "Warner's Safe Cure, which I believe to be 01 of the most valuable of medicines. Indeed, see it is indorsed by the United States med cal college of New York, and that Dr. Gum dean of that institution, hag written a lor article concerning its value." " And are you now as well as formerly?" " Apparently so. I keep the remedy < hand all the while, though, and do not he: tate to recommend it to others." "One question more. How many ponds fish lnve you here, and how are they cfividec ""Well, we have forty-three ponds, whii are divided up as follows: Twenty-two pon of brook trout, two ponds of salmon tror four of McCloud river or rainbow trout, t\ ponds of German trout, three of Califc nia mountain trout, two ponds i hybrids, four of one-quarter salm< and three-quarters brook trout, two pom of gold fish and one pond of Carp. Then v have what we call the centennial pond ' happy family,' consisting of crosses of d ferent fish, including Kennebec salmon, Lai Looked salmon, California salmon, bro< trout, sabnon trout and hybrids. These fi range in size from minnows to eightee | pounders, and in age from one and one-h? I TtiAnfUo fn nlavon VfiflTSJ T frtrfTftt say, also, that wo have a ' hospita pond, which is entirely empty, which spea pretty well for a community of many m lions. Indeed the wholo secret of fish cultu can he summed up in four things. Impregn t ion,?using no water. Plenty of foo Plenty of pure water and cleanliness." Tne numerous fish exhibitions which a taking place in all parts of Europe and t! unusual interest which is being manifested this subject throughout the world all 01 their origin to the process above described originated and conducted by Seth Gree It is certainly cause for congratulation every American that this country pr duces so many men whosa genius brin value to the world, and it is Droof positive the greatest merit that a remedy even wi j such high standing as Warner's Safe Cure I known to bave^hould be so strongly indorsi I and recommended by one so reputable at reliable as Seth Green.
