"She must be tall, Bab; she must be
graceful as a willow branch, with eyes
of midnight darkness, classic features,
hwir like the raven's wing."
Bab, who was stirring cake, looked
up at the deep window-seat that
separated the old-fashioned kitchen from
tlit* garden beyond. Seated there,
swinging one foot id'y, sat Malcolm
Hoyt, describing the future Mrs. Malcolm
as she existed iu his youthful imagination.
' Well?" Barbara said, presently, after
a glance from the tall boyish figure and
frank, handsome face, to a small mirror
that r?-iiected hair of burnished bronze,
the true auburn, and numerous freckles.
"Well? Tall, dark, classically featured.
Any other perfections?"
"Accomplished, of course. She must
dance like a sylph, sine; like a nightingale,
draw, piny on the piauo?"
"Make cake?" suggested Bib, vigorously
stirring her batter.
"Why, no?Mrs. Hoyt wm not need
to make cake, I think. Not but what
it is very jolly to kuow how," he added,
ha'tily, "but Mrs. f'lark might resent
nay invasion of her cspe;iul department."
'Yes. I see," said Bab, dryly. -"You
don't wnut your wife to be a kitcbeumaid.
Malcolm blushed furiously; he was
not quite twenty-one, and had not forgotten
bow to blush.
"I dou't mean that at all," he said,
anl then laughing heartily, added,
" don't roti think we are taikiug consider
able uousense, Bab?"
"I don't know," said Bab, slowly.
"You say your father wants you to marry,

'Just like choosing a necktie," said
Malcolm, "though I think I should feel
more interest in the uecklie. By the
way, what is your ideal, Babf"
"I huveu't considered," said Bab,
bending her face low over the pau into
which she was pouring the cakc.
"Nonsense I'Vaid Malcolm.
"As it n girl ever lived to be eighteen

craring voice, and bright eyes, for ehe
said:
"My ideal doesn't sit on kitchen wlndow-sills
aud talk nonsense, at any rate."
"You don't know what he might do
under sufficient provocation," said Malcolm,
teasiugly. "I have seen Bteve
dale look longingly at my perch within
the last ten minutes."
"Stephen Hale I" cried Bab, scornfully,
aud lilted the pan to carry it to the
room beyond, where the fire was lighted
iu summer.
Her heart was swelling with indignatiou.
She was ouly a farmer's daugh-,
ter, she told herself, and Malcolm Hoyt
was heir to a magnificent estate and fortune,
college bred, and could marry in
aristocratic circles. But to think ahe
could look at Stephen Hale, her father's
"help," a man who could uot reail It
was insulting,- little Barbara thought,
and she took au unreasonably long time
to adjust the enkepan oa the oven-bari,
and pile on fresh wood in the stove.
"Good-bye!" shouted a cheery voice,
presently. "I'm off to the postoffice,
hut I'm coming to tea to eat some of
that cake.
"I've a great mind to scorch it,"
thought Bab, spitefully. "I would too,
if it wasn't father's favorite."
"1 do believe she is fond of Steve,'
though'. Malcolm, as ho swung himself
into the saddle. "She blushed as red as
a peony when I mentioned him. I suppose
it would be what my father calls a
suitable match, but she's a thousand
times too good forhiui. Why, she's as
good n hut in scholar as half our college
fellows, and she sings so beautifully,
that it is a burning shame she has
had nothing but a concertina to accompany
her voice.'* Then his reverie took
another turn, and he thought: "I wonder
if father is ill 1"
It was the nineteenth century, and
Malcolm was an only child, denied no
indulgence from his infancy, but he
never thought of his father as the "governor"
or the "old inau." His motber
was nut a memory, for when he was tivo
years old. her golden-haired beauty was
hidden under the daisies. He liked to
think hi* great, blue eyes and crisp,
Won i cutis were like those in his
mother's portrait, but imagination was
more potent than actual memory in recalling
her.
"I wonder if father really ia ill!" he
nought, joking along slowly. "He
seems so anxious lo have ino settled.
Ami that means married, lie seems to
think I will weary of dear old home, if I
have 110 family ties to bind me there."
And then fancy, painted a^ain that exquisite.
era teful and aeomplished being
he bad endeavored to describe to
llarbars. It was odd that even with
this mental vision before him he thought
what a home Bab would mnkc of the
stately pile that was to be his inheritance.
There ts not much that is home-like
about it now," ho thinks, "for Mrs.
Clark is too oict to ;ur? ,n ;c;i, ano i tinagine
the servants have it all their own
way. But how Bab's little trim figure
and red hair would ligutcn up those big
gloomy rooms."
A week latei. he is on his wny to New
> !)
Vork, to visit bis aunt, to see society, /
tud, by bis father's express desire, to .
ind a wife.
Heart-whole, fancy free, be mingles. 1
with tbe guests who gather at Mrs,
Markham's, his aunt's; escorts bis pretty
cousin Mabel to opera, theatre, concert ( 1
dances gracefully with one belle, takes
another out to supper, makes himself
groA?hlp with a third on A sleighing
party, escorts a fourth for a promenade)
and so on?sixth, seventh, eighth, numbers
indefinite, coming uuder his care
pro tem., but not one stirring bis heart
as Bab's cordial greeting did when he
returned from college.
Bsbl There is scarcely a frolio of hie
(oncly childhood that is not associated
with Bab. How many times has her 1
Bother called him in front snow-bail
Sghting or coasting frolic, to eat crisp,
liot doughnuts or gingerbread! How
many candy-pulls has ho had with Bab at
3oe end of the sweet, sticky mass and
himself at tbe other!
Bab is not his ideal. That was tall,
stately, brunette I Uab is short, merry,
brown-eyed and with hair of burnished
bronre that Malcolm irreverently calls
red! And then, although there is no
foolish pride about Malcolm, he has certainly
moved in more cultivated and rerlned
social circles than Barbara ever
?aw. ne wonders how Bab would look
in e'.oudB of tulle, her round white arms
circled with bracelets, her glorious hair
starred with gems, and mentally decides
that she would look "jolly I"
A letter from home reached him in
the middle or November.
' Dxak Mr. a!alcolj4: 1 think 1 ought to

and be ai)'t to say sick, butt he's pining,

she cooks to please his appetite. She'*

but she ain't like your pa's owa. He x'refca
for you, though ho won't say so, anl I think,
Mr. Malcolm, If y#Pll exousj t'ue liberty of
iny saying so, the t^re is coming when yon
will bt glad if you corns home to chen- him.
'"'Your obedient servant,
"Mart Clarke."
"My dear old clad!" thought Malcolm,
tearing down stairs with the letter
in bis band. "He is sick! I was afraid
he was last sutnmet, aud here I've been
fooling jfiway for months while he has
been fretting for me!''
Kis remorse was deeper than his neglect
warranted, but he loved his father,
the ever indulgent friend of his life, his
one tie in the clear old borne. Aud so,
making graceful upologies to his aunt,
he started at once for Dcerfield.
Mr. Iloyt was in the library when he
drove up to the door, aud through the
U'lntlntv lkfit!nfil m PiUl'irl run f Vio vurlfl u
light from the grate, tho deep arm chair,
the figure of his father reciiuing there.
But, pausing on the porch, he saw more.
He saw that the dear face was hollowcved,
haggard, fearfully changed. He
saw a trim little figure bending lovingly
over the side man, coaxing him 'o eat
the dainty luncheon on the table beside
him. Aud he saw Bub inure than once
draw back to hide quivering lips aud
eyes filled with tears.
"How good she is," Malcom thought,
"to leave her bright ho ue, to coiufort s.
lonely old man."' And ha stepped softlj,
not to disturb tins pretty scone, and
wont to the back door to send Mrs. ]
Clarke to give uotice of his arrival.
He was reappointed when he wont in J
to fiud his father alone, but he forgot all
else in his sorrow at finding such a
change in him.
"Why.have voir not seut for me beJ^reI\l4^keA'

like gleams of sunshine; Bab real them
OTer and over to me, but I would not let

theu, a little wistfully "Uavo *

"None, but what I have written!"
"I so wish to see you settled in your
home, befpre?I menu, _soou."
"Married! Hut if I fail to find my
ideal ?"
"All, we nil fail iu that."
"Hut fnther, you would not have me
marry without love?"
"Never!"
"I saw nobody I loved in New
York."
"But, nearer home?"'
"Your tea is ready, Mr. Malcolm,"
said Mrs. Clarke at the door, and Malcolm
obeyed the summons. j
The subject was not renewed as father
and son sat far into the night conversing.
There were many matters needing supervision,
and again Maicolm reproached
himself that all the care of the estate
had fallen upon hie father's feeble
bands while he was pleasure-seeking.
"But I will never leave him again,"
he said to himself as he assisted his father
to his bed-room.
A whole week passed busily, and there
came a few days of warm weather, such
as November finds often iu her dreary
weeks. Barbara was iu the gardou,
walking up and down, thinking.
Of what? Of Mi's. Clarke's announcement
a whole week before that had sent
her skurrying home like a frightened
rabbit. Was Malcolm so engrossed with
his idea that he ha 1 not eveu one hour
for his old playmate? It hurt her to
think so, inu she uiissed, too, the daily
care sua ha I voluntarily assumed during
his absence.
"I do believe I am blue!" she thought,
pettishly. " What will huppea next?"
What happene 1 next was a crunching i
of gravel under quick feet, and a voice j
ni mi/:
"Bab, I have coine to see why you
have deserted my father."'
It was so sudden that U?b crimsoned
ns she replied:
"He doe.* not nee 1 me, uo?v that you

"He a?ks for you every hour. But,

just fou^ <mt1Jan?ogUah men are trying
to boy upaf a trust of the
rice milla In the; South, nt^jbough tjbie
agents have been down there tor something
over six months. Nobody is
quicker than JohnBull to scent a bargain
and when the Soath began iia march on
the road of its present roarreleua growth
he simply poured bis money in a golden
stream into our ,Southern States. He
bought our coal and iron rainee, our
timberlanda, the phospats beds and now
he is trying to form a trust ia the rieh
mills. While it will take sereaal million
dollars to in any way give them Che
controll of the rice market, if they de'
Bucceed in getting it a mighty good pay#
log investment it will be.
"New Orleans is the chief rice milling
city in America. Fifty yean ago
we did not have such a thing as a rice
mill, bnt now we have sixteen, working
220 rice pounders and stnployiog more
than twelve hundred men. Working

we m New OrJqp\?wHl be hard pressed
to season* rice crop.
Louisiana tiUZpWi'.y* been known ae the
Sugar State* but we also want to add to
it that of the Bice State of the Union.
"How ia Jt eultivated? Well, the firat
necesaitv of profitable rice calture ia a
comparatively level piece of land, properly
prepared for the seed. Thia field
must be located so as to be conveniently
irrigated from the prairie reservoir or the
flume in the Jovee. Highland rice does
not pay in Louisiana, the only profitable
rice being that grown in water. Water
is the first and last want of sprouting,
growing and ripening rice. Before the
ground is ready for the seed it is divided
up by a system of little levees and watering
ditches. It is then planted in drills
dug by machines?or, rather, I should
6uy that tha machine is the proper way
to do it,but the seed is irequently broadcasted
with us in Louisiana.
"Then comes the most delicate part,
in the water manipulation. After the
seed is planted the soil is thoroughly
saturated~ wiltywifer to sprout it, but
the water is at once taken off when the
seeds have cvehly germinated, aqj) kept
oJl until the tender shoots of the plant '
rise two or three inches above the \
ground. You can easily see that the
young plants may be either drowned out
or dried up by-the least inattention in
regulating the flow. On the other hand,
with too much water, crawfish invade
the fields and devour the delicate plants,
while with nou# at all, rice caterpillars
cut them dowp and kill them. If you
neglect the main flume >ou not only riak
ths total loss of your crop, but by permitting
the water to get ahead of you
there may como a break iu the level aud
away go your cattle and crops.
' The mott expensive part of riae
growing conies when it is about a foot
high, after it has bceu liberally watered;
I mean the grossing of the rice. You
see, tbo laborers \\Me through the riee,
. _b-c, a -uwaps atr;
, \Htter grasses they find.
This grassing costs on an average about
ft an acre, aud after that is over the rice
planter haa but little to do except to
give it plenty of. water. One peculiar
thing abotit irrigation is that the heads
of the rice plants never fill out, uo matter
how much water you give them artificially,
unless there ure plentiful rains.
'One feature of rice cultivation would
be great fun to city sportsmen, but it's a
I terrible nuisancato us. I mean the birds.
Talk about your nucks and geese hiding
the sun. Perfect clouds of rice birds,
English sparrows, summer ducks, rail
and other fowl of the air aud water,
come to see if they can't harvest our
crops for us. Prom daybreak to dark a
perfect fusillade from the guns and old
muskets is heard in hundreds of an nam
miles of country. Over in this field you
bear the shrill shouts of Creole farmers
shrieking in patois; from the
next probably the deep chested whoop of
negro field hands, and in another the
liour-e yells of the new American rise
growers?those who have coine trom the
great Northern wheat fields. It sereamt
?pop!? whoop!? bang I? booml ?
boom 1 in the noisiest battle from dawn
to dark that you ever hear. The rice
birds are cur worst enemies, and while
we kill millions of them, lert to manure
the fielda, other millions come into take
their places. The ravages of the rice
birds some years are fearful, the crop
being almost n total loss.
' As soon as a pale yellow tint appears
over the level heads of the opening
grain the water is carefully drawn off,
the fields being drained as thoroughly as
possible, and the work of harvesting is
begun. The dried sheaves nre carted
direct from the field to the steam
thresher, where the grain Is prepared for
market.

good luck, will in a few years make any

Louisiana give from fifty to sevonty-five
bushels to the acre. Rice is a plant
which is generous to the attentive and
industrious tanner; but it resents neglect
more than any other cereal. A man can
cultivate tifteci to twenty acres of rice
land, and if strong and industrious ho
cau easily secure from 1000 to 1500
bushels of rice, worth at present prices
about, a dollar a bushel. The work is
not hard except during grassing time,
and, as good iiviug is cheap with us, a
small rice farmer can easily save one-half
of his gross income.

Here is an incident from the South I
?Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that country.
" I am a farmer, one of 1
those who have to rise early and j
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss, .where I got well I
drenched in a shower of rain. I ?
went home and was soon after seized ?
with a dry, hacking cough. This *
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon '
who has since died, and he told me 6
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syiup. Meantime my cough grew \
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I t,
got two bottles of German Syrup. I J
began using them, and before taking fi
much of the second bottle, I was ?
entirely clear of the Cough that had *
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and _
bavc felt that way ever since."
