Polly l' he balled, a and a bright, rosy-oheeked girl' tripped I in, while Edward's face -lushed pain fully. "Polly," continued ler fatler, b "this 'is your cousin Edward. Iie 11 leaves on the 0 train; make his short o stay as pleisunt as pws ibu." 4 At her father's requust who was very t proud of his daughter's. varied accom- t p lishments-Mary sang and played for a er cousin, and his visit ended in sing-. i1 ular contrast to the stormy way it b commenced. Edward refused the five- v dollar note tendered him by his uncle s at-parting for his traveling expenses. 1 The old man smiled as he returned f the note to his poqketbook. a "He's a sensible young chap, after a all," he remarked to his daughter, as t the door closed after their guest. "It's c In'him, if It only can be brought out. We shall see, we shall see." - "A good deal for fattier to say," was I Mary's inward comme}tt, who thought 1 her cousin the most agreeeble young E man she had ever mob. C Three years later Mr. Stone and his I daughter paused in front of a small but neat and pleasant-looking shop, on the plate-glass door of which were these words: "Howard Stone, Sta tionery and Book Store." It being too early in the day for cus- I tomers they found the proprietor alone, whose face flushed with pride an.i pleasure as he greeted them. "I got your card nephew," said the old man with a cordial grasp of the hand, "and called round to see how you were getting on. I thought it was about time I gave you the little lift you asked of me three years ago. You - don't look much as if you needed it, though." "ijut at present, thank you, uncle," was the- cheerful response. "Curiously enough, it is the same business that I wanted to buy then. The man who took it had to borrow money to pur. chase it with, getting so much involved that he had to sell at a sacrifice." "Just what you wanted tp do." Edward smiled at the point made by his uncle. "It isn't what I've done though. I've saved $4 a week from my salary for the last three years, and so was not only able to pay 'the money down, but had $50 beside." "Bravol my boy," cried the delighted old man, with another grasp of the hand that made the hero wince. "[.'n proud of youl You're bound to succeed, I see, and without anybody's help. I told your cousin Polly that when she was eitteen i'd buy a house in the city; that she should furnish it* to suit herself, and have all the servants she wanted; and i've kept my word. Comne around and see us whenever you can. You'll always find the latch string out." Edw~ard did not fail to accept the in vitation so frankly extended-a very pleasant Intimacy growing up between the' thiree during thie twelve montl.s that followed. On Jbrlstmas Eve the old man en tered lhe room where hits daughter and' Edward were sitting, and said: "I muen't delay any longer tI-e little lift I promised you nephew, and which you have well carned." Edward glan 'd from the five-thou sand dollar chezk to the lovely face at lisa side, and then to that of the spt-aker. "You are very kind, uncle--far kin der thtan I deserve,- but I-" "Buta what lad? Speak out! Would you p,refer it ih some other form?" Ed ward's. fingeors closed tenderly and strongly over the hand that he had taken In his. "Yes, uncle-mi this." The old man looked keenly from one to' the other. "You are asking a good deal, nephew. Polly, have you been encouraging this young man in his prdsumption?" "I'm afraid I have, fathier," was the smiling response. T.lhe father's eyes moistened. "Then go, my daughter. I give you to worthy keepIng; and if you make your husband's heart as happy as your mother made ne during the few abort years that she tarried by my side, he wvill be blessed Indeed." Some Enormous Salerles. Some interesting figures in regard to Ealaries have been elicited in a suit in Brooklyn agaInst a baking-powder company. It was shown that the - President of the company draws a sal ary of ?50,000 a year, the Vice P'resl dent $30,000, and the Treasurer 50000. The President of a paint and varnish company, who wvas introduced as an expert in regard to salerles, stated that the Superinitendent of his company receiveol $50,000 a year, while the yearly business did not exceed $3,000, t00. Another witness stated that'Iin companies wIth which lhe was acquain ted the chief offlcere received from 55000 to $?.0,000 a year, wh)1e a repre sentative of a kerosene-oil company f aid that lie A,mw one olicer of a large corporation who rec&'ed a salary of $30,000 a year, and two others who isceive $20,000 eacoa. Those flgures are enormous, and were unknown until the days of trusts and combinations. The explanation is furnished in the testimony of one of the witnesses, who said that the business' of the company -with whlich ho in connected had boon increased until the tprofits had reached 450 per cent. on t.he orIginal capital stock, iFour English patents have been Is aiued to Mr. Charles raillard, of Gene va, Switzerland, .on metallhc .alloys.

To KEEP A ISOUQUET OF FLOWERS niEsu.-A queer way to ke^p a ouquet of flowers fresh, but a very triking and effective one is thus des ribed: In a vessel- of water place a late, and on this stand a bouquet of lowers, weighted to the bottom so as o stand upright. This being done, the )ouquet is covered with a bell glass,the im of which ought to lit- exactly the lat part of the plate; the bell glass hould be entirely filled with water and +vithout the least air bubble. Then 'also all together, bell glass plate and )ouquet and place on a table, leaving mn plate aroucd the base of the bell glass a little water to keep the air from mntering. The flowers in thissituation Aill be preserved in all their freshness for several weeks, and their beauty is noreasod by a great number of bubbles )f gas produced by the respiration ot the leaves, and which attach themselves to the leaves, looking like pearls. The idge of the plate and the water that it ,ontains should be concealed by a light bed of moss in which are set some lowers. A bouquet thus arranged produces a charming effect, especially n the evening. ALL hardy, strong-growing grasses, ike orchard grass and timothy, may be own in early spring or autumn. It is important that it be sown on a fine nellow seed bed, in the fall, and the seed must be covered with a light tarrow or pressed into the soil by a roller. If sown thus in the fall early here will. be a good crop of hay the iext year. It is better to sow clover eed early in the spring, so that the ~oung plants may grow one season be ~ore exposure to the severe frost of vinter. ~A WRrTER in the OAio Farmer, who keeps sixteen cows anid inflis them all imsnelf (he says he is one 'of those fel ows who thinks the wife and daughters iave no place in the cow barn,) reports mn average prollt for each of these cows ,f $5,21 d uring last year.

Here is a rood remedy: Six eggs beaten thor )ughly, put in a common water pail, md add one and a half pints of coal >Al; stir together and then fill up with wvater. Care should be taken to keep well stirred while applying. This can e used on rose hushes or cabbage, if lesirod. Use whenever and wher aver needed to destroy this pest. Sucn perennial herbs as sage, fennel, balm, mint, hoarhound, lavender, rue, ~hymie, savory and tansy are easily crown, and should be found In every garden, as once obtained they require out, little labor and care. IIYflnli perpetual roses are hardy, and will make the front yard very at. ~raotive. They should be put in soIl very fertile, and in dry weather the 3arth should be kept loose on the sur ace, which serves as a mulch. Keep hie bushes in neat shape by trimming, mnd watch daily for the rosobugs and ilugs. SHEEP not in the best condition for areading should be got rid of without lelay. Dist:eiper, foot rot and other lifficulties In a flock cause too much abor. Only the healthy ewes should ao retained. All others, unless nearly well, should be destroyed.. THE cheapest mode of keeping rats mut of a barn is to use half-inch wire letting, placing it from two to three eet deep in the ground all around the ~dges of the barn or stable, digging a arrow trench for the purpose, and ,en refilling in the dirt. AT,L the farm implements should be ~aken apart and well cleaned, flub korosene on the iron portions as a pro boction against damnpuesa and rust. Knives should be abarpened, and all imchm work performed; while other farm work is not urgent.. .LAnGE breeds of sheep require good pastuirage. They will pay only when the condit.ions are favorable. UJneven pastures, coarse grass and "picking" w~ill 'iot do for them. They must be mupplied with all they may require. ONi light soils where it ig difiloult to rrow wheat or oats cloverseed should be sown in the fall, just after the warm lays shall be over and the rains begin 'ing. By so doing a good "catch" an be secured, which will .avoid the 1ecessIty of sowing in the spring with i grain crop to shade the young plants.

When hens are shedding feathers they of ten stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider fat a sign of health. The fatten ing of moulting hens, 'however, as with some people, produces debility rather than health. Many of the worst cases of roup are. contracted,while the hens are moulting. The food of moulting hens, if largely vegetable is fat-forming and not required for growing feathers. TFhereforo corn-fed hens get very fat. They need more nitro gen and phosphate elements in their 'food when moulting, which if not supplied they stop laying, because the growing feathers have used all, and left no nitrogenous mat ter to form eggs. At this season, killing 'old hens and relying on young pullets is a great mistake, where people have a few hens and late pullets. Because, if properly fed, the hens will have their new plumage and lay well all winter; while the pullets unless specially treated may not commence laying until spring, when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half. Again an old hen's egg will hatch a more vigorous ohick en than a pullet's egg. John R. Jones, Suuloid', Coun., a breeder of prize winning mottled Javas, says: "I find Sheridan's Condition Powder, fed once daily In the food, very valuable for moulting hens. I have used it two years for exh,ibition-birds. It assists In growing new fe ithere,makea the ombs a bright red anu give., a rich gloss to the plum.-, age. It wil also make hens ay and the eggs hiatch well. 1 find when the ether eggfoods are Used In quantities to force egg production the eggus do not hatch."
