"Yes, in mind I" He threw off his

"What do you think about Hugh Dudley

"Hugh Dudley and?Constance?"
"That's what I said. He'a coming

Saturday Night. \
Drawn by the Webfooted Cows. ,
The webfooted cowa who inhabit the
tnarahea along the 8t. John'a River in 1
Florida?I know that they are webfooted,
for Captain Lund uyi so, and Captain
Land never lies?are of some nee after
all, it seems, And this is the how and the
wherefore of it.
In the merry month of April the water
I in the St. John's gets very low, and the
two big steamboats, Frederick De Bary
and City of Jacksonville, which go up
and down it during the winter seMon,
are sometimes hard put to it to get over
the numerous bars. If it were not for
tbo webfooters, Captain Lund says?and
Captain Lund never lies?they would
never get up to Sandford and Comfort
Cottage, and would have to come North
ft month or mora before they could be of <
service. <
The worst bar of nil is Volusia Bar, 1
and here four times a day, at the hours *
when the steamboats are due, a number *
of Florid ians put in an appearance with 1
from four to eight yoke of the gay and ^
festive kind, almost too thin to cast a *
shadow, hitched up for business. 1
Then follows a scene such as lew steam- f
boat men havo ever witnessed. The cows *
are hitched to the boat by three stout fi
chains, the drivers raise a shout, and
with nil steam on and a mighty tug-of'
war, the stout iron steamboat is dragged
through the mud and sand and landed in j,
deep water again.
Captain Lund says he has a set of iron c
tires which ho puts on the paddle wheels j
the tirst of May, which enable him to
take short cuts across the country, thus ^
shortening the distance by about one- p
half, and as Captain Luud was never?
no, never?known to draw the long fi
bow or to tell a story which was not
strictly according to Hoylo, down go the J
tires across country and all.
And yet there are people who persist
in going to Kuiope strange sights for to 0
see. It is one of the wouders which no
man, aud not very many hundreds of J
womeu. can fathom.?-Now York Herald. ?

TTTiere There's No VTI1I There's a Way. t
A prominent business man of northern 8
Ohio recently expressed to ono of the F
cashiers of a city bank a novel idea of 8
leaving his money so that there might be ^
no contest after his death. He has a e
wife, three sons and a wayward daughter ?
and purposes keeping his property in c
municipal bends. His plan is this:
He has divided his bonds into threo
parts, after providing for his wife, and n
put thein into three separate boxes at I1
the safe deposit vaults; the kc^ he has n
put into envelopes marked for each one 11
of his sons, to bo delivered to thein after ?'
his death. For his daughter ho has dcposited
with a trust compony certain se- c
curities which will yield her^$lOO per
month as long as she lives, the principal
to revert to the sons equally, share and
share alike, at her death. On his mer- p
cantile and manufacturing interests he r
has likewise arrangers a very ctever 0
scheme. He has given outright to his g
three sons all the mercantile and manu- g(
facturing property, share and share alike, t<
but they have in turn executed to him K|
a lease of the parns during his life for a Cl
nominal consideraion, so that he has the tj
control of everything 60 long as he lives. p
This inan says no will can be drawn ai

hove scheme is the ?nly practical thing H1

The cultivation of cucumbers for "

An experienced cucumber grower
tcommenda that when the aeed is sown
broadcast dressing of three or four
undred pound* of Peruvian guano per
ere should be applied, as that fait 11 lass
s?m? to bare an especially good aflect

verage yield. As the crop was sold for

IB added nearly $300 to the price reeired
per acre.
The cultivation required is to keep the
oil loose by frequent stirring until the
ines cover the ground. The main vines
txould bo pinched at the ends to keep
(lem within bounds and encourage the
rowth or lateral branches, which a-o
le most prolific of fruit, as they bear
hicfly pistillate blossoms, while those of
io main branches are mostly stamenate
i barren flowers. The fruit should b?

hrcc inches in length.
The principal enemies of the cucumber
re lice, which prey upon the leaves,and

If the milk can is old and corroded

The Malta bee3 are noted for the
arity aud delicious flavor of their
oney. They extract mo3t of it from
ilia, or-clover, of which there is an oxinsive
crop.
Do not feed a lot of cockerels till they
ecome "old roosters," then sell on the
eneral market. It is hard to make them
ass as "spring chicken" even if the
ealer cuts the spurs off.
Clover Lj valuable in the winter feeiig
of hogs as well as for summer pasire.
Stow away a little that, is cut
oung and nicely cured, and feed it to
le stock hogs that you carry over.
Many horses that are unruly and have
ad dispositions are made so by bad
eatment when they are colts. Gentleess
is a first requisite in training and
iucating the colt for future usefulness.
The dairyman who feeds only home

A full and strong stock of bees at

The best profit to the stock breeder
ways comes in breeding for special

Apple growers can take a profitable

me-honored barrel and packing their
lest fruit in small boxes or crates. The
arket is quite ready for this departure,
id such packages would undoubtedly

Care should bt takon to keep the pasgc
to the hives as free as possible from
eeds, briers nnd other obstructions,
any valuable bees, returning home
ith a full load, are lost within a few
irds ot the hive, by getting entangled

There should be a good supply of wnr
