proaches yesterday mornfOW

a Harriet, and my littler brother,

the last thing I did before my

his you perceived as you bade me

y, and you did uot spare your deelation.
f course I am heartbroken to think
t I haw ever displeased you, dear

d that the best way to prove my
entance and show my respect for
was to conform blindly to your
nsels.
his is how I sot to work to practice

' that 1 was stupid," she said. "You
dn't deny it, for you can't!"
f course I had to tell her the truth.
Ele didn't say you were stupid," I
wered, "but ho did say that you
e a goose."

frank, you see?she stood
itlng for us on the threshold of the
house which you are so anxious to
to her.
Why didn't your mother come with

Oh, mamma was delighted to get
of us so that she could have a good

the truth?

Is it because you think your mother

stitches that my sister-in-law has

Oh, but she didn't embroider it herf."
I said hastily, for I remembered
v pained you would feel at such a
larture from the truth; '"the waits

and I handed her your bo:: of
>coIates.
What! From Potin's!" exclaimed
it, smiling, all her frowns vanishing
if by magic. "His chocolate is alys
the best, but it is so expensive."

Tlr- box is from Potin's, aunt," I
l~
New Year's Day, but papa got thd
chocolate at the little shop on our cor? j
ner."
Aunt looked as If she had a whold
thunderstorm inside of her. and the
frowns were i'J full force as she said
sourly:
* '1 hoped that your parent# would
have the decency to come and see me
themselves. Your father wants to sell '
me this house, and as he said he had j
had it specially repaired for me, per*
haps I might he suited very well!"
"How curious!" I remarked, saying
exactly what I thought. "There I
haven't been any workmen here for j
three years, for I heard papa say so!"
"All!?Aud do you also know why j
your father wants to sell the house?" I
t was tempted to be sJent, but, in- !
stead, I said frankly:
"It is too noisy here to be endurable j
and, besides, there are stables close
by."
I cannot describe, dear papa, the un |
fortunate effect of these uudenlabk> j
;truths. My aunt left the room hastily i
and banged the door behind her.
I should have renounced then and j
there the attempt to be truthful if j
Gaston de Tournettes had not just thai
instant jumped from his horse and I
come hastily into the room. I wished :
to announce his arrival to my aunt; j
but he stopped me, saying that he had
heard of my intended visit here and
had come to see me the instant he ;
knew I had reached the city.
He said that he wanted to speak to j
me and not to my aunt. Thereupon
he began to say many very pleasant
things to me, and finally asked openly
if I liked him.
Ah! my dear papa, if it had been disagreeable
to me before to tell the truth j
1 assure it was quite aiuerenc iuia i
time.
. "Indeed, you please me very much,
Monsieur Gaston, and you always
have."
"Then you are not afraid to become
my fiancee?"
"On the contrary, I shall be delighted
to do so," I said frankly, remembering
how you had said he was the most eligible
bachelor of the season.
"And you will love me?" he contin- |
ued.
"I love you already?"
But I will stop here, dear papa, foi
it seems to me that I can see you
frowning this time, and I can hear
your voice growling:
"Naughty girl! You have said as I
many impertinent and awkward tilings j
as you have told the truth!"
* So let me hasten to reassure you, j
dear papa. This is all a story that I I
have made up to tell you.
Paul paid no more than half fare j
and Miss Harriet is convinced that we |
pmild nnne of us sret alonsr without her, r
and that we think she is the very salt
of the earth! The brandy passed the
customs officers beneath their eyes and
| noses, and they never suspected a
I thing. |
My aunt is delighted with mamma's j
centrepiece, which she thinks is all her
own work, and she is perfectly satisfied
with the cheap chocolate in the i
Potin box. She will certainly buy the
house. And as for poor Gaston de !
Tournettes, he is atill ignorant of my ;
sentiments!
I merely wished to show you, a triflo
maliciously perhaps, but perfectly respectfully,
I assure you, that the truth
you talked so much about is not always
expedient to tell. Indeed, you
would not think it was modest or fit- j
ting for a lady to issue from her well
and travel about through the world
without being adorned and veiled to a
cor tain extent.
You had far better trust to woman s )
tact, finesse and t.?ste to render her sociable,
amiable and even pretty and
bewitching without losing any of her
natural grace! Cover her with a little
anodyne in the shape of a few innocent
lies and she may Journey freely without
fear of injury.
Thus, dear papa, do not scold me so
severely another time. I promise that
I will tell only nice, white, innocent
little lies, and you must admit now,
yourself, that they make life vastly
more agreeable and easy to live! In
fact, there is no getting along without
them! JULIETTE.

Tbe Country Editor.
The worm will turn. Sometimes it
takes the worm a long time to make
up its mind to do it, but sooner or
later it does. Every man who has
served time as editor of a country
newspaper has experienced the trouble
referred to in this little anecdote, but
not all of them have had the courage
to resent it.
T 11 in

the little city and the local editor present,
some will approach liim with a
smile and say:
"Well, getting some news to put in
your paper?"
Of course they mean well, but they
seem never to realize that perhaps
even a country editor can lay aside
his professional duties long enough to
go out in society and meet his friends
on a social basis.
"Deacon" Dobyns, one of the best
known, country editors in Missouri, suffered
this sort of thing for years, and
although it rankled in his bosom, he
never let on, but smiled in return and
nodded assent. But at last patience
ceased to be a virtue. Not long ago
he attended a social affair in his home
town, going as an invited guest. While
mingling with his friends a local grocer
greeted him with the remark:
"Good evening, 'Deacon.' Getting
some new3 for your paper?"
' Yes. that's what I'm here for," re |
plied "Deacon." "By the way, Mr.
Sands, are you here to drum up some
trade for your store?"
Of course the grocer sot mad about
it, but "Deacon" only grinned and resumed
mingling with his friends.?

Cloven.
The word clove is derived from a
Spanish word meaning u nail?the similarity
in shape between a clove and a
tiny nail is easily recognized. Cloves
are the floiver buds of a tree which
grows to a height of fifteen to forty
feet. These flower buds are the principal
products of the tree. They are
gathered carefully, exposed to the
smoke of wood fires, and afterward to
the heat of the sun; or again they may
bo dried by the sun alone. Cloves are
much used both in savory and in
sweet dishes. In braizing, making a
soup, stew or ragout, no cook would
think of dispensing with au oniov
stuck witb cloves.

i ATTRACTIVE HOME GROUNDS'
i
I A Summer House May Be a Source
of Pleasure at Little Cost.
[W W1Q yard of sufficient size to
admit of it ought to be
j jVT without something in the
v^T v*, wft.v a summer house.
There are several reasons
wuy iuis should be the case: First,
such structures are attractive in themselves;
second, they afford an excellent
i opportunity for displaying vines to adj
vantage; third, they give the children
I of the family a place to play in, in
| which there is ample shelter from
A PRETTY SUM
aent, but where all the benefits of
pure air are to be obtained. But the
probabilities are that a house of this ,
kind will not be given over wholly to
the children. The older members of
the family will find it so delightful
a place to spend the hot days of sum- ,
mer in that they will make quite ns
much use of it as the children will.
With comfortable chairs and a hammock
it can be' made far pleasanter
than any room in the house. If built
of good size?as every such house
ought to be, when the grounds will
admit of it?tea can be served there
in summer, and it will really become
the centre of family life from June to
September.
A house like the one shown in the
illustration accompanying this article
will cost considerable, for every part of
It is well built and calculated to last
for years. But those who cannot afford
the expanse of such a structure can
easily reduce the cost by using rustic
material. Posts of cedar, set in the .
ground, will afford ample support for
the roof, which ought to be of shingles
to beep out rain. For the railing and
bracket work cedar poles and branclfes
can be substituted, or, if these are not
procurable, any kind of wood can he
used. Cedar is preferable because of
Ihe ease with which it is worked and
Its pretty bark,1<whicb will last-for a
long time. Any kind of material obtainable
from the woods can be worked
into such a building with good effect.
The more crooked, gnarled "and fantastic
it is the better for brackets aud
railing.
Vines should be set out about the
house and trained up the posts and
made to completely cover the roof. In
one season it can be made a bower of
beauty. Th#- best vine for the purpose j
Is our native Ampelopsis, or Virginia
eroent?r. This will take hold of the ,
rough [)oI;?s with its fingers and train j
Itself. Our Olnstrus, or bittersweet.
Is another cxcellmt native vine of very [
rapid growth. This will also train it- j
self by twisting: its slender branches ,
about post and bracket. Its scarlet and 1
orange berries will make the place ]
quite as attractive in wiuter as iu summer.
1
While a house like the one iliustrated
may look better in some respects l
than the cheap substitute of posts aud
poles, it will lack the rustic charm
which characterizes the falter. The
boys of the family can build a house (
that will afford the entire family a
world of pleasure, and the cost of it
will be small?Eben 13. Rexford, in

Killing Untato Beetles.
To destroy potato beetles ninny prefer
to use one pound of Paris green
thoroughly mixed in 200 pounds laud
plaster for the first application. We
have only used a tablespoon level full
of gre en in twelve quarts of water, applying
it with the hand sprinkler,"

spray ?r. There may, perhaps, be more
dangtr of this destroying the foliage
than svith plaster, but It has been sug
gesteu tnat one pound 01 tresn, common
lime use<l with every pound of
Paris green in water will counteract
the injury that Paris- green might do
on tb 3 plants.
The New York Station says, to test
the parity of Pnris green, put a small
quantity iu a little ammonia, or commonly
called hartshorn, and pure Paris
green will all dissolve.?H. M. Culbertson,

Importance of Grit and Lime.
The. importance of providing plenty
of .grit and mineral matter for poultry
must never be lost sight of. Chickens
have no teeth with which to masticate
their food, and grit takes their place
in a fowl's internal economy and is
therefore on? of its necessities. In a
ehickan's gizzard fine particles of sharp
sand or pulverized glass serve to grind
the grain into a pulpy mass, which is
dices Pfl hv thp intPsHnos
Tbi mineral matter is necessary in
the formation of the egg shells, and
those hard particles from which the
lime is most readily dissolved are therefore
the most useful. Nothing is better
f?.p this purpose than oyster shells.
The imount of mineral matter fed to
poult -y depends on whether or not they
are laying. During the laying season
hens require more mineral matter than
when they are not producing eggs.
Three things, however, ought always
to be in reach of the fowls, finely powdered
glass or grit, to aid digestion,
ground oyster shell for egg material
and charcoal to keep the system thoroughly
cleansed.?Thomas W. Lloyd, in
the Tribune-Farmer.
"T Clover a* a Fertilizer.
In a bulletin from the Central Experiment
farm. Ottawa. Canada, may
be found a discussion of the profitableness
of growing and turning of clover
crops. Extensive experiments in this
line have been carried on at that farm
for a period of over eight years, and
tbe results gathered therefrom con|
tain a considerable amount of practical
information and data. The advantages
| derived from plowing under clover are
briefly stated by the station as follows:
There is an enrichment of the soil
by the addition of nitrogen obtained
from the atmosphere.
There is an increase in the store of
available - mineral plant food, phosphoric
acid, potash and lime, in the
surface of the soi. taken by the clover
in part from deptts not reached by the
shallower root systems of other farm
crops.
There is a large addition of humus,
whereby the soil is made more retentive
of moisture, warmer and better
aerated, conditions favorable to vigorous
crop growth. Humus also furnishes
the material best adapted to
the development of these forms of
germ life that act so beneficially in the
soil.
As an agent for deepening and mellowiug
soils, no crop gives such satisfactory
results as clover.
Clover serves a useful nurnose as a
catch crop during the autumn months,
when the ground would he otherwise
bare, retaining fertilizing material
brought down by the rain, and also
that formed in the soil during the summer
months, mu^h aC which would be
otherwise lost through tbe leuchiug
action of rains.
As shown conclusively by the particulars
obtained by careful experiments
over a number of years with the more
important farm crops, the plotving under
of green clover has a most marked
effect in increasing the soil's productiveness.?

Keeping Up :? Succession.
Keep up a succession of your young
and tender vegetables by planting at

quire too long a time to mature. Peas
may be planted about every ten days
up to the first of June, string beans
from May L to August 15. beets to
August LO, Early (lorn varieties of carrots
to July 20. The later varieties of
corn, such as Slonewell's Evergreen,
cannot be depended upon to mature if
planted after July 20, butearly varieties
may be soavii a week or two later and
will yield a late crop.
Celery for early us? should be in a
permanent place before July 4, and no
time lost thereafter in getting the main
crop planted.
In private gardens the old method of
planting in trenches is still favored as
being more economical of space. These
trenches are dug about twenty inches
wide, and four or five inches deep; a
liberal coat of manure is then placed in
the trench aud thorouehlv iucomorated

Every up-to-date farm should have
some kind of a building iu which repairs
to farm implements can be
made, gates built, tools uharpeued and
other odd jobs done. If building especially
for the purpose of a farm
workshop, we would have the structure
not less than fourteen by eighteen feet,
ground plan, and ten feet high, to
provide storage room for lumber and
small implements overheud.
The workbench should be on the south

tough lumber two tnches thick? Near
the left end of the bench have a good
carriage maker's vise fastened securely
with bolts, and on the floor, three feet
to the right of the vise, there should

The man who threw the bomb
must have known the Vice-Governor
would pass across the square in front
of the Senate Chamber at a certain
time. He posted himself in the most
advantageous position whence to take
the life of the official. Tha* he failed
was due to the inaccuracy of his aim'.
An uproar followed the explosion.
Passers-by wheeled and fled, but in a
few minTrtes a crowd surged over the
square and formed, a ring about jfJie
prostrate Vice-Governor. Expressions
of regret were heard. They were in
low tones, the prevailing sentiment being
that it was too bad the b<^mb
thrower's aim had not been better.^ A
platoon of naval cadets pursued the assassin
for several miles, but he escaped
in the environs of the city. N?
clue to his identity had been found at
11 o'clock in the evening. The police
who joined the cadets in the manhunt
said they were determined to catch
the criminal within twenty-four hours
at any cost. It is known the authorities

St..Petersburg, Russia.?Terror spread
throughout the capital in consequence
tof an attempt to kill the Chief Procurator
of the Holy Synod, Constantino
Petrovitch Pobiedonostseff. Vigorous
attempts to check the rumor were
made by the authorities, but so many
persons had witnessed the attack on
L'the Procurator that concealment soon
SjjRas seen to be out of the question,
'greats. of imprisonment were made
* Again stall persons who should repeat
the report Such-warnings were ignored,
and the people spoko freely of
the attempt at assassination. It was
asserted the Procurator's life was
saved by one of his attendants, who
seized the weapon with which the assassin
was about to commit murder.
M. Pobiedonostseff arrived here in
the forenoon in a train from TsarskoeSelo,
where he lives in the summer.
He barely had stepped on the station
platform when a man rushed toward
him, grasping a pi3tol. One of the Procurator's
retinue saw the weapon
gleaming in the sun, and with a single
spring hurled himself upon the man,
bearing h:m to the ground. The Procurator's
attendant wrested the revolver
from the assassin's hand and handed
it to an agent of the sccret police.
Then he turned his cptive over to the
police. His quickness doubtless averted
a panic, as there was a big crowd
at the station. So rapidly did he over
power the assassin that only a tew
hundred perrons witnessed the incident.
If a shot had been fired it is
probable a riol; would have followed.

began taking the names of the zemstvoists.
The officers ignored him and
continued? compiling the list of the persons
present. Mnny persons who were
