Married ills Own Sister. Iears ago a family consisting of father, dather and two ghildren lived in a small .,Iwn in Western Olki0., The J1hcad of the faniily, Mr. Lawton, was a lawyer, and speculator, and had been a merchant. lie had grown rich for those days-and was noted for his keen business sagacity and his honest and kindly heart. Ills wife laid been a delicato an(l pretty girl when no nimarrled her, and after het second child was born her health broke down and she became a confirmed invalid. ''lie coi ple had tvo children, a boy named Michael who was thet 'baby" and was about flive years old, and a girl named Mabel. Mabel was a pretty clAild, and her parents ptt(ed .ier and dressed her in a style that made her the envy of all mothers in the neighbor. Iood. One day Mabel went into her mother's room and told her she wanted to go and play with some other little girls who lived on the next street. Mrs. Lawton gave her consent, but told her to be sure to come honie to dinner. . Mabel promised, kissed her mother gayly, and ran out of the room -out of the world as far as the poor moth er was concerned, for she never saw her agaIn. Mabel did not come home to din ner, and at supper time Michael was sent after her. le soon returned with a pale, ft lehtened face, and told lis father that his sister had started for home at noon, and no one knew where she was. Search was madoe for her In every direction, but with out avail. No trace of the lost one could be discovered. A month afterward the mother (I-,d heart broken, and the father sold his property and became a homeless wanderer, with but one object in life-the finding of his lost one. Taking his son with him lie traveled from State to State, visiting public institu tions where children were cared for, and going through cities makMg inquiries which he thought might lead to the desired result, From the United States the search was extended to Europe, and, finally, in a Spanish city, Mr. Lawton caught a local fever and died in a few days, leaving his son, then a bc of nineteen, all of his for tune. Mr. Lawton told his boy that he had no near relatives except a brother, who had gone to California in the first finsh of the gold fever, and had never been heard of afterward. Michael Lawton came back to this coun try, entered a college in the East, and graduated with honor. Ile studied law in the office of a famous New York lawyer, and, after being admitted to the bar, lie went West and made his home in a newly settled State, where he soon built upl) a good practice. One winter Lawton went to New York to visit a college chum, Marchmont, had several young sisters, and one(- afternoon Lawton was introduced to Miss Mabel Let cher, a young lady who was their music teacher. She was exceedingly pretty anl a lady in manner and mind, and Lawton fell violently in love with her, and before lie left the city he asked her to marry him and she accepted him. They were married the following spring, and went to Lawton's Western iihome, where they uvel happily for six years,dtr ing which time two children were born to . MIss Letcher told Lawton after their engagL-1ent that she was ii, orphan, that her parents u'hl when she was a child 1and she could .not rensivober them i at all. She had been named, iy a kitad-hearted lady in Eastern Ohio. She had taught school and madesullicient money to enteraschool in the East, where she studied music, and after she lad graduated she got a class of girls for p'pi's, and while thus engaged Iet Lawton. Lawt .n was sitting in his oniec onic day, wheni an odd-looking elderly matn caime in and asked for "Mr. Lawton." ant initroduic * tion took place, and, after tihe usual prc0 liminaries, the stranger said lie was a law Lawton if lhe would tell him his father's name and where lhe was horn. A litonglh surprisedl at the question, Law'""a comiplied andl the stranger then evemmend his errzindl: "ohaeheardl , our father speak, I sup pose, of a brother who wvent. to California ninany years ago, and whio did not write home of his doing". Well, Ilamt his repre sentativo, andi I was his friend to the hiour' he <ied. Years ago lie wenit to--(mien tioning the towna wihere Lawtoni was horn), and there lie heardi of the manner in which your little sister dlisappeatredl andi of your father's dleparture. lIe tried to find hiim for awhile, but did not succeed, and then lie went home again. '"le mnade up his mind1( to 11h1d your sis ter if it was possible. Ile emiploye'd Sev eral skillful detectives, and1( spent a great deal of his money in the search. A year ago lie died, and ini his will directedi that you should be his heir unless your sister was discovered. In that event she was to have half of his property. I saw your name in the paper seome weeks ago, and on makIng inquiries I became conivhicedl that you were the nepheliw of the man who was my friend, and who intrusted tie with the care of lis property. And now"--herc t he speaker p~aused for aii istant -"now I have something still more stratnge to tell you. We have foutid a trace of your isa * ter. "Shue was stolen by a party of vagrants * for the clothes and trinkets she wuore, and was taken to East Ohio. She wais takeni very ill, and was left with a good-hearted lady, who adlopted her as her (laughter. After her discovery she could not reimem ber her name or where she had livedl. When this lady died Mabel taughit school for several years, amid then she weint East Sto stud~y music. After she left school, I think she wvent to Now York, but I cannot say. We have nuo trace of her for sIx years. She was named after the lady who adloptedi "'Knowni as what 1'' screamed Lanwton. "Mabel Letcher." "Gireat God, now she has beeni my wife Sfor six years I," It wvas so, indeed. Fur ther examiniation showed beyonid qiiestti that Mrs. Michael Lawtoni was cne and the -same person. They separatedl. Mrs. Law ton is still living in a towni in Massachusetts where she has been for maniy years. The childroen are at school, and Michauel Law ton Is, in -bid grave; IIe gave up all his business, grew frightfully dissipated, and, afte: spending nearly all the monmey lie had reserved for himself, ho wandered to the lovely little Maryland farmi, where hie strove to bury the past, anid where lie lived a life of toil.

WINTxa WitmAT IN BL xAK PLACu, .There are many fields of good quality for winter wheat growing, which, from their elevated and exposed situa tion, are very liable to Injitry by frosts, the winds sweepilg the snow off and leaving no protection to the plant. Tie first Important requisite Is to make the sol rich so as to secure a strong and vigorous start, and a firm and deep 1o(d ot the ground. This aflords pro tection against throwing out by ieavii, effects of frost, and a full growth is a shield against the beating winds. A top-dress of barnyard manure is ono, if not the best, protections, for it furnish es the best stimulant to growth as4 well as a mulch to the crop, keeping the ground loose and dly on tile surface, and it also prevents tihe severity of winds and frosts from destroying the plant. Maintires may be applied before or after seeding, but the best effects will be sco byapplying before seeding, and let the harrow line and mix it with tile soil. When rotted mannre is not at hand, a covering of (ry straw, evenly spread over the surface after seeding, will be very beneficial, if winds (o not sweep it oil before rains and the grow.. Ing wheat have tied it to the ground. Mulching in any way will keep more snow on the surface, which is always a protection against winter- killing. In a mechanical way, much benellt Il found by drilling In tile seed, going at right a igle with the prevalling winds. The seed being in the drill mark, tile ridge between the rows allords considerable protection against winds and holds snow to cover the rows. It is some times recommenled to sow with the wheat som other grain, as buckwheat, oats or barliy, that will kill down by frosts and nilcll tle wheat but such will choke the wheat and prevent growth so as to (o more injury than good. Somethlig nmay be gained by sowing the most hardy and strong growig variety. The Clawson has prove i to be tile most hardy, as weil as prolille, variety cultivated li many years. 3lany varieties of red wheat are also hardy, usually more so thia the white and prolific. The uillz is a liar dy red wheat and proliic. The old Mediterranean and fte Ritssian blue stein are also hardy, but not so prolific. The best variety to cultivate can only be learned by experience or observa tion, for no one variety will be best adapted to different soils and climates. Dixs-rioyiNo -'ri CANADA rins-ru.:. Some farmers aire giving their experi once oil the destructlon of the Canad ' thistle.

In commencing opera tions against the enemy, the determin ation shonld be to be victorious and leave no artiflce or device untried to gain it; and ti is is, as we say, thorough cultivationi, and a wholesale andl(] retail exterminitlon of the thistle. The bat tie should begin before the post makes its aippearalce, an1(d alfter it makes its appearanc, and as often as it makes its appearance. Suiccessive crops of corn followed by barley and wheat, will do tile business for it in case there was a thistle left after the corn is harvested. No fence corner should be allowed to harbor one thi itle.

All fleshy and juicy fruits contain pectin, which sibstance causes the fresh Juices to be slimy an1d to gelatinize if boiled With SI11r, 1111 Ifterwlrds cooled. Whena asyrup made of fruit juice con talis soeie of this pectin, it Is certain soon to mould and to spoll; therefore the fruit Jnices have to be freed first from the pectin before they are mnade into syrups. 'tihle pectin has to be do colposed, and (his Is done by fermon tattion. The ruits are first crushed and set aside for three or four days in an earthen j:tr, the mass being stirred once a day vith a wooden spatula. Tie Juice is now pressed out (and set aside again for a few days, until fernenta tion Is completed and the Jutice appears clear. In order to detect any uindex.om Posed pectin, a little of the juico is mixed with a concentratted soluation of Iagnesiui sulph to, when, if anly pectin is present-, it will congeal or gelatinize, or at flueculent precipitate will seiparate. The *Juice, mixed with twice its volume of ninely per cent. alcohol, should formit a clear solution. Tilo juaico is then filtored through pa per.
