A BAG OF JEWELS. I "My jew o Is!" Tbe exclamation came from beneath the heavy, Uiooping white mustache of the pasha the white pasha General Templet ou. "Vee. general, your jewels! We trant to aw tbetu!" ; The ipeaser was a lorely girl, quite Creole in tier dusky beauty. As she poke tlie approached the reclining sol dier from behind and placed about his wartby neck a pair of arms like col umns' of smoked ivory. The doughty general clasped tbe wrists wuh bis sunburned hands, and drawing the willowy creature onto his lap as he swung ia the hammock re plied: "1 mo sorry, Verna, but I cannot ftiow them to you. Your mother asked ') see them yesterday. They are not li-jre. How did you know I had jewels, child?" "Oh, we heard so. And the bint was dropped that you "came by them in very romantic way." The suowy bead' of the veteran was laid back in the hammock aod bis pierc ing eyes were fixed upon the full moon, just rising over the liquid boulevards f Venice. It was a perfect night. The aouudless voices of a million lights, tell ing of tbe great floating city's gran daur, spoke from all aides, and then an swered back as they danced in the rip pling waters. Nothing else disturbed the poetic fjniet of the night but the oc casional splash of a gondolier's sweep and tbe sweet laughter of this bevy of lovely women who were assembled up on the portico of tbe Palais du Regina. "Tell u all about it, won't yon. un cle? Come here, girls! Hear General Temploton tell us a story! Handsome Verna was always leader. Directly the pasaengered hammock was surronnded by half a dozen as nandsuiue women as ever an Italian moon hhone upon. The scarred veteran thus environed drank in tbe aroma of animated femininity, smiled admiring ly at the several upturned faces and said: "How much this reminds me of the very night 1 received the jewels Vema wants to and hear about! And prob ably it is in association of ideas tbat 1 find a willingness to do what 1 never did before- rei.ite bow they came into my posse.-n n 1 have an idea, ladies, that when I io;.i:Iude my narrative you will feel disjointed, .but my story baa a moral, anil if you absorb it, and the point of m eipeniuce is not lost upon you, thn I rill nf regret having made you my f a r con feasors. ; "i was in command of the foot forces of bis m ijesty, crossing a corner of the desert. The march was very fa tiguing, tiie outlook dismal, and 1 munt confess, soldier as 1 was, 1 felt very much discouraged. To add to my de pression I hid not heard from my fiancee in some weeks, and 1 found my mind dwelling nure anxiously upon her daily. "1 may indicate the importance of my mission by adding that while 1 was making all possible haste to relieve Meldon Pasha 1 had buttoned in my jacket tbe entire outline of our cam paign, which 1 was to deliver to Meldon in person from tbe minister of war. "Night came npnu us as we entered a piece of palm forest. We halted and made camp. Late in the evening a sol dier came to my tent and informed me a lady desired to speak with me. 1 was very weary and utterly dejected really lovesick, 1 urn ashamed to say." Tbe grizzled veteran looked down Into tbe fair faces about bim as be said this. but they were absorbed in the story and expressed none of that hurt be imagined they would indicate at bis last remark. "Such a thing as a visit from a lady in tbat remote locality aroused my curi osity, and glad to have a chance to talk with one because she was of tbe same sex aa my absent love 1 followed tbe soldier to tbe very outskirts of the camp, where 1 found an Arabian horse of peerless majesty, and standing beside htea a Moorish girl, who so closely re sembled my affianced 1 uttered a cry of astonishment This seemed to delight the little woman greatly. They have such naive ways about tbem and are such clever judges of human nature. She instantly exclaimed: " '1 remind tbe pasha of some one.' . "At tbe same moment she motioned me to dismiss the soldier. "I did so. "'1 confess, madam,' I said, 'your teseniblance to a dear lady friend in tnglaqd is very pleasing to me.' "Then she plied her arts as only tbe educated Moor can. Never a suggestion, bat such languishing sweetness and in toxicating grace and winning artifices; they are indescribable. : " 'M. Pasba,' she said in purest French, 'I have come to you upon an errand of mercy, for I bring you delir- Afinp rYnm this liffl fif rlanTlvattrm. You are young man, and I bring you i the power and the nutans to return to England, wed your ladylove and live itt peace and luxury for the balance of your days. &'!' "She was seated npon the soft sod beneath the high leafed palms, through which the moonlight streamed. In her lap she unfolded a parcel, and as she opened it 1 beheld the moat magnificent amethysts 1 had ever seen. They were, 1 should say, a thousand in number, both large and small. 'Seel' she repeated. 'These are yours, pasha, if you will but give mo the papers you bare to deliver to the pasha of Meldon the papers outlining your campaign. You can say you lost them. They will not precipitate any dangers to your forces, and I want theui. These gems represent the dower of a princess. Give me those papers, and the jewels are yours!' "1 cannot attempt a description of the sweet caresses she bratowed upon me, of the ease with which she imitated the woman dearer to me than all else in life, nor of tbe but tied, reckless review 1 made of my chances of rise in the army of the sultan, of my long life of drudgery in battle's harms, with the small iucome it afforded. But these thoughts all went through my mind like a flash, and beside myself with fascina tion and with the erring ambition to ac quire riches I delivered into her jew eled hand the papers I was to convey to Meldon Pasha and received in exchange the bag of amethysts. "A moment later the Arabian charger dashed onto the plain, and she wasgoue. "No sooner was she out of sight than I realized my blunder and repented it sorely, but 1 clutched the bag of pre cious stones and hurried back to my tent 1 placed them under my pillow and lay sleeping upon them until morning. "When it was light, 1 arose and se cured the flap of my tent so the sentry could not peer in, and eagerly opened the bag of amethysts the price of my honor. "Imagine my consternation! They weie as white as glass and as lusterleos! "Quickly I ca'ltd my body servant, who chanced to be a Moor, and show ing hhu tbe bag of gems watched for bis chocolate face to distort with amaze ment. But bo looked at the pebbles and then ut me. " "Well, pasha?" he said solemnly. " 'Well.' 1 replied, 'are they not gor geous?" For 1 believed my sight had fail 'd me or that I had become color blind. "'Where did th" p.islia get these?' he inquired, loolaug as iudiilereut aa a man cwiilJ. " 'Never mind. What are they worth?' I flaked, almost holding my breath in expectancy. " 'Nothing,' was his laconic reply. " 'Nothing!' 1 exclaimed, rising to chastise him. " "Nothing, pasha. They are jebbels, as we call them, and are collected by our children to nse as play money. In the night under a light they take on the color and brilliancy of the amethyst. 1 can take yon over miles of road in Mor occo where tbey are so abundant tbat in the night you would believe yourself riding over a path of precious gems. Somebody has fooled the great pasha,' he concluded, with a grin. "Fooled! In SO minntea I had my ourtriders in pursuit of a woman on a white Arabian. In an hour I had all my troops moving. By night I had an engagement with tbe Moors, routed tbem and took my fair enchantress prisoner. My papers secured, I pushed on and relieved Meldon Pasha. That ia the story of my gems." "And what became of the pretty wo man, general?" asked Verna. "She was killed by a sword throat while trying to escape." "And what's tbe moral, general?" asked another. "Yield not to persuasive temptation and judge of all things by daylight." And as the ladies sighed over tbe epi sode one toyed with tbe decorations on the scarlet coat, 'one dallied with the empty sleeve, another lighted a ciga rette for tbe aged pasha and all listened to the plaintive tong of tbe gondoliers, aa the mellow moon the maker of gems from jebbels rose higher and higher into the studded belfry of tbe night. Exchange. His First Letter. A writer in The Chrintian Union gave J an amusing account of tbe first letter old gentleman. The couple had never been separated in all tbe years of their married life until pa, at the age of 70, concluded to visit some relatives in Bos ton. When he was preparing to start on his memorable trip, bis wife, who was to remain at home, said: "Pa, you nev er writ me a letter in your life, and 1 do hope when you git safely there you'll write me a line and let me know how you bore the journey. I'll buy a sheet of paper and put in a wafer, so you won't hava no trouble abont that." Pa was absent a week, and faithful to bis promise be sent a letter. It read thus: Respected tutor I got here safe, and I am very well, and 1 hope you are the same. I shall be glad to git home, for the pride of the airtb that 1 see here is enough to ruin the nation. The women folks are too lazy to set ap In their tarriagi-e. They loll back and look aa If they was goln to sleep, and I don't s'pex-e one of 'em could milk a cow or feed a pig.

Boyal l'eusloners. Sir. Labonchere finds a good deal of popular support in his opposition to a further grant of $.30,000 a year to the Duke of Saxe-Cobnrg (the Duke of Edin burgh) now that he has become a Ger man prince. The government has yield ed to the request of the royal family on tbe ground that tbe dnke finds his Ger man estate so incumbered that he is still In absolute need of an allowance from the British treasury. There will prob ably be a lively debate when the matter come again before parliament. London Cable. SOILS FOR TOBACCO, Meet Land That Will Traduce the Color and Tetture Desired. Tobacco growers in Virginia are very particular in the selection of soil for the plant. The lands Unit they find best idapted are the light red or chocolate colored and the richest low grounds. The selection of soil will depend upon the odor of leaf in demand, as the soil us well as the fertilizers determines to tome extent the color and texture of the lf. The effect produced by planting to bacco too near the sea Is injury to the leaf, which is apt to lie thick and unfit fur a cigar wrapper. In mine coun tries, however, notably Cuba, the leaf grown near salt water is equal in color and texture to any grown in the inte rior. Generally the plant obtains its finest form and quality of leaf on lands bor dering the largeet rivers. This is true of the tobacco lands of Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia and North Caro lina as well aa those in the islands of Cuba and San Domingo, but some of the finest tobacco grown in the United States is grown in countries some dis tance from large rivers. When possible, select tbe kind of soil for tobacco that will produce the color and texture desired. For Connecticut seed leaf a light moist loam is the Wet soil. For the bright tobaccos, such as are raised in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, the soil should be light and friable, or what is commonly called a sandy loam, not too tint, but of a roll ing, undulating surface not liable to overflow in excessive rains. Newly cleared in these last uamed states is con sidered better than long cultivated soil. In Cuba the planters select the red soil as the best for fine tobacco. Some planters, however, prefer a soil mixed of one-fourth sand and one-half to three-fourths of decayed vegetuble mat ter. Both the Cuban and American plant ers concur in asserting that a large quantity of silicious matter in soils is j essential for the growth of good cigar j tobacco. Tbe rich clay loams on the banks of the James river in Virginia do not grow the highest price tobacco. while the less fertile silicious soils of other sections will produce tobacco of superior quality for chewing and smok ing. Tobacco of high grade will not grow in the calcareous regions. A bet ter soil is one tbat rests upon tbe pri mary foundation. Items Ia Track Farming. Readers who are not located favor ably for trucking on an extensive scale, or who are too fur removed from mar ket, with costly transportation rats, may find help in the following sugges tions made by Southern Cultivator: Lo cated where you cannot command tbe higher prices of the eurly or lata mar ket, and cannot, without neavy ex pense, place your product of those veg etables that rapidly deteriorate and deciy daily on the market, we would ad vise the staple crops Irish potatoes and onions. With proper care, we Bee no reason why. with these crops, you should not secure much larger m-t returns than from ordinary farm products. Especi ally is this true of the second crop of potatoes. In our cities large quantities of potatoes and onions from the east and west are to be found in the hands of nearly every dealer in produce. These potatoes and onions, after the ex pense of shipment, and passing through the bands of a nnmber of middlemen, were raised with profit by farmers in those sections. The soil of the south, properly fertilized and cnltivated, is as fruitful as the east and west, and with out tbe heavy expenses incurred by the producer of those sections profit and independence should be found to many southern agriculturists. In selecting your potatoes, you have a larger number of varieties to choose from. Among the best are Beauty of Hebron, Early Rose, Late Puritan, Sen eca Beauty, Pride of tbe West and Early Delaware. In onions, we would experiment with tbe Italian varieties, or those which maturo from seed. When they do not grow to sufficient size, they can be used as sets the following year, but with cure in the cultivation they will be of size for a marketable onion. It will require study and care to savo your onions in such a way an to be able to place thi'in on tlio market profitably. Cabbages, tomatoes and other vege tables offer inducements to the pains taking farmer. rm. : -I VsTlLCUBtYDU - A Bright Lad, Ten years of age, but who declines to Klve his name to the public, makes tills authorized, confidential statement to us: "When I was one year old, my mnmms died of consumption.

There Is a radlent difference between Bermuda and wire grass which South ern Cultivator thus explains: Bermuda la a low, creeping grass, rooting at the joints of the genus ryiiodon. Wire grass belongs to the genus arlstcda, of which there are nine varieties. It is a dry, harsh perennial grass with narrow leaves. Worth Knowing About. Cottonseed meal with black specks In it Is largely ctmpoid of the hull, which is nearly Indigestible and of lit tle vuliio except to go into the manure pile. The pure cottonseed meal without bull is too concentrated for feeding, except as it is diluted with something giving a greater hulk In proportion to its nutrition. Wheat bran is one of the best feeds for this purpose. One of the lessons in fruit manage ment taught by the World's fair was the entire success of keeping fruit by the cold storage method.
