HOI IMA ffl BY KT.T.A VA Silas Higgins stretched his weary limbs auder Marthy Aun's 200-piece quilt-the quilt which .Marthy Anu's grandmother had worked with her own hands add which brought h in fame and fortune at tho county fair nearly 50 years before; the lanie con sieted in the verdict of her neighbors that she was "a peaky smart woman," and the fortuna ia a new five-dollar gold piece. But 50 years of constant exhibition and subs?quent uso had brought the high and miga ty counterpane down to an every-day sort of quilt, and now Silas would fain have covered his eleapy head with the same, and stolen 40 winks more, but there was work in the weBt lot, chorea about the house, and outside of all that Marthy Ann's shrill voice wa3 calling from the bot tom of the back stairs that it was "Cime he was stirring. '* The west lot ?nd chores shrank into insignificance alongside of Marthy Anu's voice. "You'll find your store clothes in the company room, aud your bil ed shirt and clean socks in the press. '} Thia from the ?uvisibte Marthy. "Going to have compauy today? There's a heap of work over in the weat lot that I somehow ought to get to," answered Silas from the head of the stairs. Marthy Ann's eyes opened wide .with, astonishment For the first time in their married life Silas Higgins proposed working on a Sunday, but 4ihe shouldn't do it, no, he shouldn't do it if she could prevent, it, and it tras very likely that abe could." Marthy Ann's voice was awful in its solemnity, "The Lord will seud down |His wrath upon yon and your children .Tinto the third and fourth generation." iAs t ere were no heirs to misfortune or otherwise, this was a dire threat. ?"You'll be a .byword among your neighbors, working on the holy Sab bath." * She war now the visible Marthy,for mounticg the stairs she stood in the 'bedroom door, in one hand ? fork,in the other a dish towel, while righteous indignation showed forth in every '*&$f??oT~"Silas beat a hasty ret.eat by .putting his head into a bowl of water. ! ' Splash, splash! "B?ckon ? mnst lave slept kinder hard, Marthy Ann,". splash, splash, "lest all count on the days ?nd thought it was a Saturday," splosh, splash: Marthy Ann retreated somewhat mollified, but on the fourth step she 'turned back to announce that the "bacon was done toa turn and the icoffee biled." ! -AU during breakfast Silas was very quiet "It do beat all how a man can get BO turned 'bout," he said. "Beckon .we'll have to buy one of them new fangled calendars over at Hick's 'store. " ! "No need of them sort of things round here, Silas Higgins. All the calendar that's wanted is the work done regular like. 'Pe*rs you've got ?no' faith in my reckoning." Silas had all faith imaginable, and hastened to inform her of the fact, while he offered his best team to go to meeting. ' "The parson's laid up with rheu miticks," replied Marthy, "I saw the doctor driving over yonder yester day, and he reckoned the pa-son .wouldn't get to preach in a fortnight There comes Pete now; wonder what's bringing him over here!" i By this time Pete had opened the kitchen door on a crack, thrusting his frowsy head, and presently his whole body, into the narrow space. "I eay!" he began, at the same time describing a circle with his bare toes on the floor. "No, pa says will yer loan him a A-am; tl.zxe is a Leap of hay wants hauling, and he celkerlates on some rain 'fore !}ug." "Law sakes!" said Marthy Ann, be fore Silas could speak; "what's hap pened to the men folks! Guess your ma don't know of such doings! Yer go straight home and tell yer pa we'll not lend a hand to su eh wickedness and evil ways. He's cut his wisdom teeth, I reckon, a good time past and ought to be knowing better. Now you cnn give him that message straight," Pete stared only long enough to take a good stave at Mrs. Higgins, theu lost no time in leaving her au gust presence. A few handsprings and a couple of somersaults brought him rapidly to his destination; there he was not long in stirring up the fam ily wrath by delivering his message in a decidedly graphic and efficient man ner. The little Browns declared they'd "get even," and getting even with the Browns msant a surplus on their side. Meanwhile, in happy ignorance of ?what the future held in store, Silas sat contentedly smoking his pipe on the front porch. After the dishes had been washed and put in their place, Marthy Ann joice Vhim, bringing her Bible. To be sure, she was no great hand to read, particularly aloud, for Silas corrected her pronunciation, and if Marthy Aun had any weakness it was to oe at all times and in all places right; but today, realizing that there was much evil influence abroad, she felt it incumbent upon her to read some good, wholesome truths to Silas, and try to keep him in the narrow path. She had just finisned the ten com mandments, laying particular stress ou keepiog the Sabbath day holy, when a carryall came lumbering along the road, filled to overflowing with the yonth aa'd beauty from the village. They were so happy among themselves, siugiug the popular aira with such zest, that they passed the two on the porch unnoticed. ICHT.

OPT THE SMTH. tT HEEKEREN. . "Some folks thinks the Lord's laid np with the rheUmiticks, " Martha groaned, "along with tho parson; but they'll S?d themselves mistook. It's no decent folks that'll be having their acquaintance. I've lived nigh tin to 20 years 'bout thes? parts, and t never seed snell goings on." Marthy Ann took good pains to wait ?or their return-, and planted herself by the gate. A's they neared the house Josh Blinkly reined in his horses. "Afternoon, Mrs. Higgins; nice weather,only the dust is smothering." Martha held herself rigidj not ? muscle moved, whil? Josh-,, iii a dilem ma at her Strange behavior, hid his confusion under a pr?teuse of flecking tire di?s off of old Charley's back. There was a giggle from the back seat which proved too much for Mar thy Ann. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, "was all she said, but she turnod her back On tue wayward sin ners, and marched straight up the path and into the house, leaving -Tosh to whip up his horses and drive on. 'Tm awfully sorry for Siiasj" said the offending giggler; "it do s?eui that Marthy Ann Higgins g?ts mor? oranky every day.'* Mrs. Silas Higgins w?s noted for miles round for having the snowiest linen on the line. "Give it a good sunning," she said, "get your wash out early, and don't be in a hurry fetching it in." So on the following morning, true to her principles, she was up betimes, got her breakfast but of the way, sending Silas off half ah hour earlier than usual, then g?ttiug the tubs out on the back porch? set to work. It was with great satisfaction that she viewed her snowy sheets as they swayed back and forth in the soft sum mer breeze, and thought within her self that Mrs. Brown wculdu't yet b? thro.ugh her breakfast dishes; She had nearly finish- i starching Silas' shirt when a BI 'den sound made her drop the ] >ce on tti? ground. "For the land a sake! ther? goes the meeting house, bell; What's up now, I wonder? I've a great mind to mn over to Deacon White's and see if they know." But a look at th? work still on hand determined her to remain at home,and<she went on deft ly pinning the shirts seam to seam and the ?oWels lapping. At dinner she questioned Silas as to the bells, but he hadn't heard them, and guessed she was dreaming; still to satisfy her he'd drive down to the vil lage and inquire. "Yon might fetch up that barrel of flour from the station as you come back, and just leave this bundle at Widow Jones'". " So Silas harnessed Bobbin to the cart, and, taking from the top peg in the hall his old straw hat, he started on his errand. As Marthy Ann was passing a win dow in the hall on her way upstairs to "tidy up a bit," she was s'aitled by the strange appearance of her wash, aud, hurrying down, was still more snrprised, for in tho place of her linen hung great squares of white paper bearing this inscription: "Keep the Sabbath Day Holey." "Humph!" she ejacu'ated, "some people are small." And tearing down the offending placards she replaced the clothes which had been thrown in a heap to one side. If she had looked close, she would have found n fresh gap in the hedge . which divided the Browns' furm frrm theirs. "I've had mord scares than enough today," she thought as she sat down to her darning. "Whatever makes the folks stop at our gate aud stare, I don't knov. Lord deliver me from company ou a Monday." Just then there came a knock at the front door, and Marthy -Ann's heart failed; still she could rise to any occa sion, aud she did so now, lotting her visitor in none too graciously. t It was Deacon White, dressed in his meeting clothes and carrying his Bible under his arm. Putting his silk hat nuder the chair, he sat down by Marthy's side. "I reckon you'll not mind if I go on with my work," said Marthy Ann, breaking off the cotton with her teeth; "there's a heap to do somehow today and a big wash. Your folks through?" "Sister Higgins," answered the deacon, and his voice was almost pa thetic, "let us pray!" i'ud down went the good mun on his knees, first speadiug his bandana handkerchief on the floor. Possibly Marthy Ann's Bpirit re belled against putting down the un finished darn, but she followed the deacon'? lead, vigorously emphasizing her "Amens" as he prayed for those who broke the sanctity of the Sabbath. As they rose from their knees the deacon took her hands. "Sister Higgins, you've beeu reck oned one of the elect round herc since you experienced change of heart, and I'm powerful glad that you feel you're a sinner-" Marthy Ann stepped back and stared at her visiter in amazement. "I cac'r.late on doing my duty, dea con; there's some mighty black sheep in the fold that need looking after more than me." The deacon shook his head sadly. Here wan a flagrant case, needing all his eloquence to bring the erring sin ner home. "I'll not say but you're a good wife and keep Silas Higgins' home in order; but, sister, it would be better to ?mt off your work till another day, and not do washing on'a Sabbath, neglecting the meeting and setting a bad example ?ti?. ty "Tho Sabbath!"interrupted Murtby Ann. "This ain't no Sabbath! Didn't I wash on a Monday last week? Landy me, deacon, I didn't! I washed ? Sat urday, thinking Saran Briggs would be over. She didn't come, Bo I went oh regular zik?; ?na s'? this is the holy Sabbath; .'and me profaning it like that!" And "down she went ol! ina' heap;" aa the deacon expressed it ?afterward! Just Wen Silas came up the road; his hat pushed down ?ver his eyes*. There was no barrel in his cart,and the bundle fdr Widow J-ri^s still lay be side him ou the seat. As he came np the path he halted in front of the washing which hung dazzlingly white before his eyes. Yee? anyone could seo tfyafe Wash a mil'o off, a fact of whicli he was wont to be very proud, but today he wished it was black; lid: green, any color than white; he put out his hands to remove thia offending sheets, but habit was strong, arid glancing hastily at the house, he re placed the clothespins and walked od. Marthy Ann never looked rip as he came in-, but sij Still with her head between her hands-. Foi- the fir?t time iu many years Silas felt himself grow ing bigger, more self-assured; digni fied. It was ari awful temptation t'? tell M?rthy Ann that it was alt ber fault, arid that she was the one who had made him turri a Saturday into ? Suuday, and a Sunday into a Mbudayt but he didn't. He only walked, over to where she sat arid stooping.dowri; kissed her, while the deacou slipped but the back door. There now hangs in the Higgins' parlor, right where the light falls well on it, a highly decorated but very useful calendar.-Good House keeping. JEWELRY OF P?LISHE? W?OD.

Sixty-five miles, to a railroad and then shipped to this city to 'be cdt aud polished, this being the only plac? in thc world having such facilities fdr treating the p?trification, which is seveu-tenths as hard as diamond.

The process of sawing the stone up in shape for polishing is most tedious; the huge machinery used for the purpose being able to saw only from ari inch to three inches a day into it-. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff-buttons t > tops of centre tables, &nd great columns which, cost a smell fortune-. All kinds of jew.elry are made from it ais well as trinkets and handsome articles suitable for sou venirs; One of the chief attractions at the World's fair was the exhibit of chal cedony, which had been polished and prepared in this city. It is stated that during the fair sales of this stuff were more than $30,000 a month. The great exhibit which is to be made in Paris will be a wonderful ad vertisement for Sioux Falls, for tho reason that nowhere else on earth is there machinery, mammoth, yet deli cate enough to saw, polish and put into shape the variety of articles that will ba on exhibition.-Sioux Falls Journal. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. An Oswego (N. Y.) man, Ephraim Latulip, is the latest ono to claim that he has re-di.'covered the lost art of hardening cojjper. He says he eau make it as tough as steel, so that it will hold and carry au edge as keen as a razor. His brother is the mau who made a cannon of rawhide. A fine specimen of Albino deer was shot by Oliver Whyte of Boston, while on a trip with three companions in the Schoodic region of lakes ab-M one hundred miles from Bangor. Ti animal was almost entirely whit; weighed about two hundred poundt and the antlers were the largest of any seeu in that region by the local guides. An industrious California wood pt,J"er stored 1000 acorns in a section of tree measuring four feet in length and thirty-four inches in diameter. The tree grew iu a vineyard in Oak ville, Napa county, and each acorn fitted so neatly in the hole that the farmer who found them wondered whether the bird made the holes to fit the acorns or selected the latter to fit the holes. Two churches possess trees growing within their walls.. One is at Boss, the other at Kempsey, in Worcester, England. The latter treo is well de veloped, and grows from tho tomb of Sir Edmund Wilde, which stands on the left side of the chancel. Another strauge growth is to be Been at Ciyru nog, a small village in Carnarvonshire. On the north side of the New Inn, the gatehouse attached to Plas-y-bryu, the summer home of a member of Par liament, a large tree grows, having no visible connection with the earth. It Bprings out of the wall above the kitchen door, its roois being firmly embedded in the building.

It tie ended with the complete rout ol L?ndon Daily Graphic. , But in the afternoon we could see hundreds of Boers forming on the top C'-f the spur, just above the spot where their main battery was planted. Our artillery was turned upon them and through field glasses we watched the awful effect of tho fir?. Two shells at least burst right among a mass of three or four hundred men and tho result was afterward told by a wounded pris oner who was carried into Ladysmith AN INCIDENT OP THE ACTION AT ELAND SLAAGTE. (A Boor shell burst undera limber of tbe Twenty-Urst Field Battery, shuttering it to atoms.) by the ambulance train: "It was sim ply slaughter," he said, "it wasn't fighting."

Then the mas kt y fire was resumed more fiercely than ever and above the sharp crack of the Lee Metfords we could hear the eternal quacking of tho Maxims and the hammering of the field batteries. Then the leading British regiments began to converge upon the face of the Boer position, the Gordons from the top of the hill, the Manchesters from the left aud the Devons in front. Be side the Gordous chergedthe troopers of tho Imperial Light Horse who had left their mounts at the foot of the hill EATTLE OF ELANDSLAAGTE-CHARGI in order to be in at the death.

They charged through the enemy once and then turned and charged again, killing it is said at least one hundred. There were some awful incidents in that night pursuit. One lancer drove his Janee right through two Boers who were riding on one horse; nnother pinned a burgher to the neck cf the man's horse and a third killed a Boer who was pleading for mercy, saying, as he sent his lance through the man's body: "You didn't show us any mercy at Majuba." Even after the enemy had aban doned his ground and darkness had fallen it was by nb means safo to walk over the battlefield. Boer stragglers hung around tho kopjes and fired on everybody who looked like au Eng lishman whether he happened to bo a hospital worker or not. Major Woods, while attonding Lieutenant Bradley of the Gordon Highlanders, was fired upon by a Boer officer, who was promptly shot on the spot, Near where he fell a number of explosive cartridges were found such as are used in the shooting of big game. General regret is expressed by our of ficers that the Boers whom they re spect aB first-class fighters should in jure their reputation by using mis siles that are not countenanced hythe rules of civilized warfare. Trumpeter Sherlock, of the Fifth Lancers, is, however, more popular with the men than either French or Hamilton. He is not much more than fourteen years old, aud, while he can n? Carry a lance, he is allowed to hive-'a revolve: with which he shot three Boers in the Elandslaagte fight. It is needless to nay that he is the special idol of his regiment, the Fifth Lancers. It may interest people to kiow that Sherlock is literally a child of the regiment, having been boru in the barracks of a garrison town where the Fifth Laucers, of which his father wis a member, were doing duty. He wis what is called in ludia "a lino bi SQUADRON, FIFTH LANCERS.
