firs slashed and burnt off and is now covered with nice orchard aud timothy
grass, the seed having been sown five years ago.
GOOD HOUSE. with the necessary outbuildings,

suitable for most any farmer, is also built; also sheep sheds, etc.
gTHE ORCH ARD consists of about 200 trees of choice
varieties prunes, apples, cherries, etc.; they are now 8 years old and will
soon furnish large quantities of fruit. Quite an amount of small fruit also.

COST OF PRIVATE CARS.
"Many extravagant stories are
in circulation," said George W.
Allenj "as to the cost' of -.'private
cars, such as are used by railroad
magnates, opera ssngers, imported
actors and millionaires, and I have
often heard it stated that an
average Pullman palace car is
worth $60,000. Stories are printed
about cars costing all the way from
$100,000 to' $200,000. The fact of
the matter is that . a palace car
costs about $12,000 complete.
The make-up of all cars, regular
or special, is about the same. Ad
ditional cost is brought about by
the internal decoration, and . that
must necessarily be limited. I
doutbt if there was ever a car con
structed that cost more than $35,
000. To exceed that figure would
require p. decoration exclusively
in jewels and the pecious metals."
ONK BREECH OK PROMISE CASE.
A very curious breach of prom
ise of marriage ccse, and one in
what is called "high life," is re
ported from London. The rich
and titled defendant was engaged
to a young .lady, daughter of a
minister,, but he behaved so wild
ly and strangely that the young
lady's parents, after obtaining
medical advice that his sanity was
affected, wrote him a letter "with
drawing their consent to his mar
riage, with their daughter. He
acknowledged and accepted the
release, married another lady
shortly afterward, and has since
exhibited no signs of mental de
rangement. The young lady sues
him for breech of promise on the
ground that his release was ob
tained by false pretenses.

mahogany market in the world.

all of his hair. His scalp was covered with

I began the use of the Cdticara Remedies,

there is not a pimple on him. I recommend
the CuHtCPRA Remedies to mothers as the

feel that every mother who has aa afflicted

THE MIDNIGHT CRY.
The yonnp man stood at the parlor door.
And a nice young' man was he;
Her father was up on the second floor,
And he weighed 103.
The house was filled with a solemn hnsh,
Ana the young man's heart with bliss
O'erflowed as the maid, with a modest blush.
Vouchsafed him a good-night kiss.
Then heavily down from the second floor
Came pa's sarcastic voice,
And cold sweat poured through eyery pore
Of his dearest daughters choice. .
For the old man said, "You. tell that dude
To put on his hat aud flee,
For when I'm excited I'm sometimes rude,
And I weigh 203.".
The young mau waited to near no -more; .'
He picked up his hat and fled,
And the father remained on the' second
floor,
And his daughter went to bed.
A Queer Find.
John Hastings tried to look
pleasant when Mr. Chesley, his
employer, askek him to watch the
jewelry store that night, because
the night watchman was sick.
You see, John had- promised to
take Marian Hinton to a concert
that evening, a young lady whom
he looked forward to making his
wife some day. However, he saw
no way to escape the duty, and
after the clerks had gone away he
lay down on a sofa in the office
and fell asleep.
His dreams were rudely broken
by feeling a hand at his throat, and
a handkerchief impregnated with
camphor pressed against his nos
trils. He struggled to his feet,
and a hand-to-hand encounter
with the burglar insued. Then he
was struck down, and knew no'
more until he saw Mr. Chesley j
and some of the clerks surrounding
him. He was only a little bruised:
by the encounter of the night.
At .i. least the thief had been
frightened away, and while he had
taken nothing, had left a little bag
of diamonds on the floor when he
fled.
"i "I guess tliis belongs to you,
John, as there doesn't seem to ' be
any other claimant," said old Mr.
Chesley.
But, alas! they were all pro
nounced to be paste, and John's
momentary riehes took .to them
selves wings and flew away after
the quite to usual fashion.
He laughingly dubbed them the
crown jewels, and poured , them
all into Marian's lap, with the re-,
mark that as such they should re
main in the . custody of the
queen. .
That demure little woman went
into ecstacies over "the pretty
jewels." There was just a touch
of romance, too,-in having a young
hero, who had fought with robbers,
come and lay his spoils at her feet,
even if those spoils were only
paste diamonds. One ot the imi
tation gems was of great siie and
beauty. Sharply cut, of a light
Ianary-3'ellow color and utterly
without blemish, it was as pure as
a ray of sun-light, but much more
substantial, as it weighed a matter
of 130 carats.
"I'll be hanged if I shouldn't be
lieye that to be genuine, if it was
only a little smaller," said old Mr.
Chesley, as he held it up to the
light. "But if there ever was a
pure diamond of that size no one
but an Eastern despot could afford
to own it."-
; . "John had it set in a plain gold
pin for Marian to wear in her hair
and christened it the "Koh-i-nor."
"Oh, how lovelyl" exclaimed all
her admiring friends, when she ap
peared with it shining amid her
rich brown tresses. "What a pity
it isn't a real diamond." But at
the same time they rejoiced ex
ceedingly in the depths of their
envious little souls that it wasn't
"a real diamond." .;
The summer came, and the'Kbh

i-nor still flashed in the hair of its
queenly little owner, but no more
definite understanding was estab
lished between the donor and the
wearer of the jewel. Jones still
skirmished about the field of
action, and by making sudden
drshes within John's line of defense
would carry off Marian as a prize
to occasional parties and sociables.
One morning Hastings came
down to the !: ore with Che Ivoh-i
uor in his hand. It had fallen
upon (lie ballroom floor the pre
ceding evening, and some one had
stepped upon and crushed the
setting. On the threshold he met
Mr. Kurtz, the junior partner and
diamond expert, who represented
the "Co." portion of the firm name,
and who had just returned from a
year of travel and study of the
great gem collections of Europe.
"What have you there?" asked
Mr. Kurtz, as in shaking hands
his eye caught the glitter of the
Koh-i-nor.
"Nothing- hut a big paste dia
mond," replied John, handing it
over for inspection.
' "The duce it isl" said the expert
as he turned it in the light. ' "I'll!
-
risk my reputation on its genuineT
ness. It's worth $100,000 if it's
worth a cent." And the sequel
proved the accuracy of his judge
ment. "I shall do nothing of the kindl"
protested Marian, When John tried
to make her take back the now
almost priceless je wel. "I should
be nobetter than a swindler ob
taining money under false pre
tenses. You did not mean to give
me $100,000 when you tossed what
was supposed to be a worthless
bauble into my lap."
In vain Hastings urged it upon
her, said he should have given it
to her just the same if he had
known it to be worth a million,
and. that it was Jiers by right of
possession, since she had worn it
nearly a year. The only sign of
relenting which he could get was
the suggestion, with a sly- smile,
that "we might share it between
us."
"Not if the court knows itself,"
said John, as his arm slipped
around a slender waist in his im
mediate vicinity, without meeting
any determined resistance. "I
suppose I shall have to keep it,
since you say it's mine; but I'll
carry my point yet. I'm going to
turn it into cash, and devote all
the proceeds to supporting a little
wife." And there being no dis
senting voicer the motion was car
ried unanimously.
