Chinese Garrtion Forgotten.
Marcel Monnier, a French literary
man, spent a considerable portion of
1899 in an extended journey through
China. On his way from Pekin to
Tien-Tsin he passed through the village
of Yo-shi-Woi Here a garrison
of Chinese Imperial troops .had been
6i.itioned since the outbreak' of the
war with Japan. The troops had been
forgotten by the imperial military authorities
at Pekin. Since they were
dumped down there not an order had
reached them and not a cent of pay
had been distributed among them.

There is always an active demand

leave enough mummies to go round.
Tourists in Egypt, if the whole body

satisfied with C hone, or a fragment
of the bandage whieli supposably covered
an embalmed body. The most recent
story runs as follows: An Englishman.
returning from Egypt, exhibited
a piece of cloth said to have
belonged to a mummy, or at least sold
to him as such. Going to Manchester,
he showed his bit of cloth. There was
? cloth expert present. The experl
looked at the piece of cloth. He passed
It through his fingers. Then he said
"Number Eighty-five," and he shook
his head in a doubtful manner. "How
Number Eighty-five?" asked the owner
of the cloth. "Because this bit ol
cloth was manufactured at a mill al
Oldham, and I sell it by the thousands
of yards every month. A great many
pieces r>9f. these goods go to Egypt Demand
there fairly active." From this
g? it seenis that the manufacture of the

day he brought Justin Seymour with

juiui *#u ?l \ jsii iu uvri laijjvi o uuuavr.
And instantly her pure heart went out
in pity to this strong man. who wa3,
she thought, so much in need of a helping
hand.
Ah, dangerous pity! Myra's embroidery
lay in her lap. She had not set a
a stitch in it for the last fifteen mm- 1
utos. Iler great, earnest violet eyes
were raised to Justin Seymour's dark ]
ones, as she sat talking to him. *
A footstep sounded In the hallway
without, and Justin Seymour rose and
abruptly quitted the room as Philip
Ayiner sauntered in.
What meant Justin Seymour's sud 1
den departure when Philip entered? '
This same thing had happened before, 1
but Philip notiecd it now for the first
time. lie looked over at Myra. With 1
cheeks aglow her head was bent over '
her embroidery; nor did she raise her
eyes to see who entered.
He crossed over to the window and '
looked out for several moments, and
still M.vra did not raise her eyes to ;
look at liiiu.
"Myra," ho said, suddenly turning :
from the window, "you are getting in- 1
terostod in Mr. Seymour, or he is getting
interested in you?which is it?"
"Perhaps we are getting interested in
each other," said Myra, smiling.
"Myra, you should not get interested ,
in Justin Seymour. He is not a good
uian?he had led a hard life?"
"Philip Ayiner, for shame! to speak ;
of your friend in such a manner! Do
you forget, sir, that you have left this ,
man, who is so very bad?who has led
such an awful life?und me to enter
tain each other every day since you
came here?" crieil Myra, indignantly.
Philip Ayuier's face turned scarlet. 1
EIi> crossed over to Myra's side.
"Myra," he said, putting his arm
about her.
"Don't touch me, don't! I cannot
Dear it!" said Myra, drawing from him,
and, frightened at her own words, she
covered her face with her hands.
"So it has come to this!" thought
Philip, every vestige of color leaving
his face.
They were engaged to he married.
Their parents had managed the engagement
for them while they were
too young to do it themselves. But
Philip was very well satisfied with
the parental arrangement, not that lie
was desperately in love with Myra,
hut he liked her. and she possessed a
fortune?and money was Philip Ayuior's
god.
And Myra was willing to please her
parents. Philip was handsome, she
liked him. but love she knew aothing
about it until?until just now, when
Philip nut his arm about her, and she
knew just .is surely as she did in the
days that followed that she loved Justin
Seymour.
"Myra, 1 think your conduct needs
an explanation."
"Yes, it does," raid Myra, quickly,
her hands dropping from her face. 4,I
never understood niy own heart till t<*day.
Philip, I do not love you; I can
never be your wife."
"You do not love me, but you love
Justin Seymour?a man who never
cares for anybody but himself?a rover
on the face of the earth: he is here today,
and away to-morrow, having j
faith in no one, caring for no one but j
himself."
"Philip"' came reproachfully from
Siyra's lips, but he turned away with
a frown, left the room and went In
search of Justin Seymour.
It was evcnlug of the same day.
"Miss Blaine, I am going away tomorrow
morning, too early to see you,
so I will say good-bye now."
The hook Myra had been reading

to rise to her throat and suffocate her

tlio room and, makiDg his way over to
her side, uttered the above words.
It was true, then, what Philip had
said. This man would never care anything
for her; he was here to-day and
away to-morrow.
Myra struggled for composure.
"This is quite unexpected, Mr. Seymour.
I hope we haven't failed to
make your visit here a pleasant one?"
said Myra, looking straight before her.
"Miss Blaine, if it will give you atfy
pleasure to know it, I am leaving your
happy home a far better man than I
was when I entered it."
v^lyra looked up quickly and met the
d^rk eyes of Justin Seymour fixed tenderly
upon her.
"Oh, I am so glad, Mr. Seymour!"
she cried in her old. impulsive, earnest
manner, and, laying her hand
upon his arm, she continued: "I may
never again see you In this world, Mr.
Seym'our, but I hope you will live so
that I shall meet you there ," she
was going to add, "where we will
know no more parting."
^'."Good-bye, Myra," was all the answer
he njade her.
His voice was husky. For a moment
he held her hand in his, and the next
Myra was alone.
Myra sat in a dazed state where he
left her. Again she heard him call her
Myra, again she felt his hand tremling
like a leaf. And this man cared
nothing for her.
A year passed away. Myra Blaine
was visiting an aunt in a distant village.
It was Sunday, and she sat in the
village church by her aunt's side, sat
electrified, listening to that rich, powerful
voice that led the village choir.
Surely, there was but one owner for
that voice.
"Who is it that leads the singing,
aunt?" said Myra, carelessly, after seroe
ciio vrniknii acrosB the church
yard with her aunt.
"It is Mr. Seymour. Do you like his
singing?"
"I think I know Mr. Seymour," said
Myra, instead ol' answering her aunt's
question. "Has he lived here long?"
"This is his native place. He was
away from here quite a while, though.
He must have sowed his wild,'.oats
while he was away, for since he
back he is a changed man. There iP;
his mother's grave."
Myra paused before the handsome
monument which her aunt pointed out,
on which was inscribed that simple,
but most beautiful of all names, "My
Mother." .
"I will remain here a little while,
aunt," said Myra, aud her aunt left
lier.
How long she stood there leaning
against the railing she didn't know.She
was roused by the sound of a footstep
on the gravel walk near her. She
was not in the least surprised, but lie
ilrew bac-k as if doubting his eyesight.
Myra tieict out ner nanu.
"Mr. Seymour, this is, indeed, a
strange meeting."
"Mre. Aymer," was.all he said; as
lie took lier proffered hand.
"My name is not Mrs. Aymer; I am
still Myra Blaine," said Myra, smiling.
"Yon arc not Mrs. Aymer!" .Pried
Justin, his eyes beaming with cjei%ht.
Before I bade you good-bye that evening
a year ago Philip told me that you
were to be his wife in a few weeks."
"Philip Aymer told an untruth. I
was nothing to him that night. The
engagement between him and.me was
broken that morning," said Myra, with
lowncast eyes and blushing cheeks.
Ho took courage from the;expresslon
nf i)pr f.ice. Her hand was, still in
Iiis, ami ho put Lis arm about her now.
"."\Iyra, here at mj; mother's grave,
let ine tell you that it was because I
loved you that I left you so abruptly
lliat evening. I could not stay to see

"And it was because I loved you a
year ago that I refused to marry him,"
said Myra, softly.
And at last her pure love was crowned
with happiness.?New York News.
"Wanted IHe Temperature.
One of the operators in a central ex?
change office was instructed to ring
up the Weather Bureau and get the
temperature the other day. The operator
looked up the number, rang the
bell, and, after the usual hellos were
exchanged, said:
"Temperature, please."
"Whac?" came in a tone of surprise
from the other end of the wire.
"Temperature!" repeated the operator.
"Te-mpc-r-a-t-u-r-e! What's

There was a moment of silence, then
"Who's speaking?" from the Weather

and again asked for the temperature.
"Good heavens, girl, what do you

response.
"What's your number?" asked central.

t The Injury That Weeds Do.
Weeds are Injurious because they abx
sorb soil moisture, use plant food,
crowd and choke' useful plants, increase
the labor and expense of cleaning
seed, interfere with the regular rotation
of crops, harbor spores of inju
rious fungi and offend the eye of nil
good farmers. They also Interfere
with mowers, binders and other implements
In taking off the crops, and their
presence makes some crops difficult to
cure properly..
Treatment or Sheep With Scnl>.
Careful experiments have been made
for the purpose *of ascertaining how
long a time should intervene between
the first and second dipping of sheep
for the cure of scab. Thus it was ascertained
that it "requires four days
for a newly-deposited egg to hatch, and
the entire time elapsing from egg to
egg would be fourteen or fifteen days.
As there would be eggs in all stages of
iucubation upon the sheep when it is .
dipped for the cure of scab, a second
dipping should follow not s6oner tliari
five nor later thau ten days after the
first dipping."
Irrigation Kales.
The Oceanside (Cal.) Weekly Blade
prints the following seven irrigation
nilpfii
1. The more cultivation the less
water is required.
2. Irrigation furrows Bliould generally
not be over three inches deep.
3. Do not let the water lie around
the stems of plants.
4. Do not over-irrigate; two thorjugh
soakiugs a month r.re usually sufficient.
5. Do not water trees or vines when
in blossom, nor until the frnit has
properly set *1
G. Irrigate preferably on cloudy days
or at night.
7. Do not apply water when the soil

An Expoilence With Chicken Cholera. 1
When I was keeping poultry some
years ago an epidemic of chicken cbol- <
era broke out in the neighborhood and
wrought considerable damage before it (
was recognized and a method of treat
meut devised. Tlic family doctor had
taken an interest in my flock, and 1
when told of the afllction diagnosed It
as cholera. His remedies, which ap- 1
pear below, were very successful with <
birds rot already beyond the reach of
help, and probably prevented the ex- (
tinctlon of my entire flock. :
The poultry house was thoroughly
cleaned, the rubbish from nests and .
floor burned, and a whitewash of j
freshly burned lime with about a dessertspoonful
of erude carbolic acid to
each pailful applied to every surface
possible of ucceas. The whitewush 1
was applied while still hot, so as to
utilize the germicidal quality of fresh ]
lime. Tne roosts, yard and every
available spot were then disinfected 1
with a spray of carbolic acid and
water, at the rate of about a table- 1
spoonful to the gallon. i
So much for disinfection; now for i
treatment. A tcaspoonful of assofetida
and a dessertspoonful of Epsom salts
were thoroughly mixed with the soft
food?enough for my flock of twenty- ,
five. The few birds that-did not want
to eat were dosed with salts and assofetida
and placed in the sunlight. At
intervals of about a week two other
disinfections were given.?M. G. Kains,

after daily washing and scalding of the

the whey does not get too sour. Keep

Feed them whey three times daily in

If they do not thrive sufficiently
on this, add a little oil meal. Keep
calves by themselves, and do not tolerate

The Idea is to keep calves

' Xlie Apalry Id Winter.
'It is not so much what we should do
in the apiary in mid-winter, as it is
what we snould not do. The l^ees may
have been badly neglected in autumn,
and need attention to save them. Yet
we are debarred from supplying their
wants owing to the condition of the
weather. Bees should be in the very
midst of their quiet slumber with good
and ample stores surrounding the cluster
in ready reach at this season of [
the year, if we are to count on them
as profitable colonies the following
spring. It is better to let some colonies
starve out and die rather than to
undertake to go through the apiary to
supply to any extern: provisions, una
thus arouse the bees to activity during
mid-winter. Such untimely molestation
will usually be followed by injury
rather than any good. Not only
does it endanger the welfare of bees
by feeding in mid-winter, but for the
same reason we should not in any way
do any work with them that will arouse
them to activity during this period.
Bees when in good condition are in the
most quiet dormant state during the
mid-winter monthd.and nothing should
occur with them to change this condition.
Opening the hives, or handling
them in any way, should be avoided
even if the weather is line and they are
out for a fly. I would not apply this
rule at any other time, but just as soon
as mid-winter is well past I would
make a careful inspection of every colony
during fine weather, when the bees
are out for a good fly, furnishing plenty
of candy to all those short of stores.
Bees begin to show considerable activity
during the month of February In
any locality, and. it Ihus seems that
they are on the alert to get ready for
their spring work, and indeed It Is altogether
necessary that they should.?

* Illnfft For the Dairyman.
Care is the great essential In dairy>
ing.
Millet is good to increase the flow of
milk.
Do not use beef cows if you want to
succeed in dairying.
The feeding and milking should be
done at strictly regular intervals.
Milk should be removed to the uairy

cleanliness about the ecnvs, stables and
ilairy utensils.
The time to dehorn a calf with cny
chemical dchorner is before the horns
jrow through the skin.
Wheat Is practically of the same
value as barley or corn, pound for
pound, for feed in the dairy.
Clean cheese shelves thoroughly after
each sale, and no not place new
:heese on them until this is done.
Any extremes of temperature in the
milk or cream, either freezing or heating,
are Injurious to the butter made
from it.
One of the greatest triumphs in but
ter making is to produce an article on
ii high grade, and have it so without
nny variation from quality from day
to day.
If a "baby" separator is used the
milk ought to run through it as soon
:is convenient after leaving the udder,

First-class butter should not carry

How to Cum a Cold.
First stop eating. The system is
overloaded with impurities and they
must be eliminated. Fast until these
poisons can be disposed of in a natural
manner. Take long walks, drawing
in many deep, full breaths, exercise
every muscle of the body that the
circulation may be quickened and
every part of the body thoroughly
cleansed by this accelerated circulation.
Bathe at least once a day, ruljbing
the surface of the body briskly |
all over for five or ten minutes. 'After
missing from two to three meals if
a ravenous appetite is acquired it is,
of course, desirable to indulge this
appetite, but in moderation. Under
no circumstances should the stomach
be gorged and those foods which are
unwholesome or but moderately nurritious,
should be avoided.?Dietetic
and Hygienic Gazette.
