'But you were lonely?"
"Yes, very lonely, though Barbara
has been very kind. She is the gentlest
of nurses, the most paticut of companions,"
then, a little wistfully "Have

"None, lint what I have .vritteu!"
"I so wish to see you settled in your

Married! But i( 1 fail t < Hud my

"Ah, we all fail in that."
"But father, you would not have me

"Never!"
"I saw nobody I loved in

"But, nearer home?"
"Your tea is ready, Mr. Malcolm,"

A whole week passed busily, aud there

as Noveiubci funis often ui her dreary

walking up and down, thinking.
Of what' of Mrs. t'larke'.s announcement

dollars to io any way give them the
controil of the rice market, if they de
succeed in getting it a mighty good pay,
ing investment it will be.
"New Orleans is the chief rice milling
city in America. Fifty yeaiv ago
we did not have such s thing ss a rice
mill, bnt now we have sixteen, working
220 rice pounders and inpioyia.g more
than twalre hundred man. Working
these sixteen mills all the year ana
he'ped by four other large rfteam mills,
we in New Orlsay will be hard pressed
to baini^t^WNCp? season's rice crop.
Lotuafeoa haa sltiVyi been known eo the
Sugar Stale, but we also want to add tc
it that of the Bice State of the Union.
"How is It cultivated? Well, the first
necessity of protitnble rice calture is a
compiuatively level piece of land, properly
prepared for the seed. This field
must be located so as to be conveniently '
irrigated from the prairie reservoir or the
flume iu the lev?e. Highland rice does
not pay in Louisiana, the only profitable
rice being tbat grown in water. Water
is the first and last wuut of sprouting,
growing and ripening rice. Before the
gr unci is ready for the seed it is divided
up by a system of little levees aud watering
ditches. It is then plauted in drills
dug by machines?or, rather, I should
say that the machine is the proper way
to do it,but the seed is lrequently broadcasted
with u<> iu Louisiana.
"Thou comes tho most delicate part,
iu the water manipulation. After the
seed is planted the soil is thoroughly
saturated wita water to sprout it, but
the water is at once taken off wheu the
seeds have evenly germinated, aqd kept
oil until the tender shoots of the pluut
rise two or three inches abovo the
ground. You can easily see tbat the
young plants may be either drowned out
or dried up by the least inattention in
regulating the How. On the other hand,
wuli too much water, crawfish iuvado
the field# and devour the delicate plauts,
while with uoae at all, rice caterpillar*
cut them down and kill them. If you
neglect the maiu Hume you uot only risk
the total lors of your crop, but by permitting
the water to get ahead of you
there may coato a break iu the level uud
away go your cattle and crop*.
"The u\o9t expensive part of rite
growing couies when it is about a foot
high, after it has been liberally watered;
I menu the grassing of the rice. You
see, the laborer* \yde through the rice,
?' V* xnmpr air
thlBS^ ^ >u.ld( water grasses they find.
This grassing cost* on an average about
*1 au acre, aud after that is over the rice
planter has but little to do except to
give it plenty of water. One peculiar
thing about irrigatiou it that the heads
of the rice plants never fill out, 110 matter
ho iv much water you give them artificinlly,
unless there are plentiful rains.
"One feature of rice cultivation would
be great fun to city sportsmen, but it's a
tumble uuisanet, tu us. I mean the birds.
Talk about your ducks and geese hidiug
the sun. 1'erfeci clouds of rice birds,
English sparrows, summer ducks, rail
and other fowl of the air nud water,
couie to see if they can't harvest our
crops for us. From daybreak to dark a
perlect fusillade from the guus aud old
uiuskets is heard in hundreds of square
miles of country. Over in thin field you
hear the shrill shouts of Creole farmers
shrieking in Ifn'itfii patois; from the
next probably the deep chested whoop of
negro field hands, aud in nuothgr the
liour-o yells of the new American rice
growers?those who have co ne troni the
great Northern wheat fields. It iSserenm!
?iioii!? wheep!? bang i-?? boom! ?
boom 1 in the noisiest battle from dawn
to dark that you ever hear. The rice
birds are cur worst enemies, aud while
we kill millions of them, lett to manure
the fields, other millions come into take
their places. The ravages of the rice
birds some years arc fearful, the crop
being almost a total lo38.

"German
Syrup"
Here is an incident from the South ;
-Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. " I am a fanner, one of
those who have to rise early and '
work late. At the beginning of last J
Winter I was 011 a trip to the City !
ofVieksburg, Miss., where I got well j
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized !
with a dry, hacking cougli. This j
' grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me 1 |
in uuuiL' i'i Jjunv. utt ^ VTViiuau I
Syiup. Meantime my cough grew j
worse and worse and then theGrippe ]
came along and I caught that also ,
very severely. My condition then J
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its had effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since."
