' "Rosamond Estcourt" was the name on
the boxea and trunks when they arrived
i a solid phalanx, at the . front door of
"Althea Lawn," as Mrs. Johnson had
oftily christened her on6-and-a-half.
itory farm house. City hoarders were
the pot ambition of that worthy dame's
Loart; and here was a young lady who
lealizedjhe most aesthetic visions of her
lrain.
"Miss Rosamond Estcourt, No.
lifth Avenue, New York," was neatly
inscribed on the cards accompanying the
aforesaid baggage, and Mrs. Johnson
i ilt a sinking of the heart as Miss Est
court rustled in a premonition that the
rarpet was faded and the curtains
darned, and the whitewash streaky.
"I hope, Miss, you will find things to
vour satisfaction," she saidjeourtesying,
und bobbing her cap strings.
"Oh, it's delightful !" listed Miss Est
court, "Such sweet, sylvan solitude,
Buch a balmy odor of new mown hay and
dovet blossoms ! I hope you have
nightingales in these woods."
"Well, there's all sorts of birds," said
Mrs. Johnson, "and they do sing enough
to drive a body distracted at this time of
year, 'specially afore sunrise "
"Oh, I know I shall be happy here!"
paid Miss Estcourt, " I do so revel in
the grand manifestations of nature."
Miss Estcourt was not very young: in
fact, she had long since passed the Ru- I

was not very pretty, being of that angu
lar type which is opposed to the popu
lar idea of beauty. Moreover, her hair,
crimped though it was, "was scanty and
light colored like a damaged article of
tow, and her face was unpleasantly apt
to break out into little patches of ma
hogany color; Roses on one's cheeks
are very well, but roses on one's cheek
bone and chin and nose, are not so
pretty. But Miss Estcourt dressed ele
gantly, with sparkling jets and dangling
eardrops, and rosea t ted slippers, and a
general twinkle of chains all about her
fair person, which astonished the coun
try eyes into something scarcely less than
an impression of beauty.
"So your mother has got a city
boarder," said Agatha Pleyell, with a
toss of her pretty brown curls, as Hiram
Johnson "stopped in," on one of those
bright July afternoons, "and they say
she s very stylish.!'
"Not half so goodlooking as you, Ag
gie," said Hiram, looking with round,
admiring eyes at that young lady's vel
vet cheeks and long eyelashes.
"That's nonsense !"
"I Bnould like to know why?" stoutly
demanded Hiram.
"Because she's a Fifth Avenue heir
ess and I'm only a country farmer's
daughter.
And Agatha shot a solitary, roguish
glance at her cavalier which said plainly
enough, ''There's a statement of facts
which you are expected to contradict out
of hard." And Hiram Johnson contra
dicted accordingly.
"If she were as beautiful as Yenus,
and as rich as Ccesus' eldest daughter,"
said he bodly, "do yon suppose I should
care so much for her as I do for you,
Aggie?"
"Do you really care for me?" coquet
tishly demanden Agatha. "There, now,
you've tipped over my basket, and father
please to behave yourself, Mr. John
on?" . , .
But she was not very angry, neither
was honest Hiram, perhaps, as much dis
comfited as be ought to have been.
"What a dreadful long time you've
been!" said Mrs. Johnson, repiningly,
as Hiram came in that afternoon with
the roll of "things" from the village
store, of which the postoffice was but one
feature. "Miss Estcourt has been saying
. what a delightful afternoon it would be
for a walk over Bnckstone Hill."
"Well, why didn't she go and walk,
then?" unceremoniously demanded Hi
ram. "Mercy upon ns! You know she's as
'raid as death oi Squire Qarney's cows.
But what kept you so long, any way?"
"Oh, I stopped a minute to see Agatha
"Agatha Plyoll! " repeated Mrs. John-1
son, with an indescribable accent in her
voice. "Well, Hiram, if you aren't the
biggest flat I ever tttri see! r
"I don't know what you mean, moth
er," cried Hiram, with a puzzled counte
nance.
Mrs. Johnson ironed away at the house
hold linen with- a face of ineffable mean-
Jnnr. "
"When there's an heiress right here in
the house," she said, as if addressing the
three-legged iron stand; "and when she
was a sayin' only yesterday, you was the
handsomest young man sue ever see
"Did she say that, mother?" said Hi
ram. with sheenish gratification. ,
"Of course she did. And when she as
good as asks you to go out walking with
her, and lends you poetry books, and
takes every chance to be in your com
pany, why I, for one, can't be blind to
what it all means.
"Mother," cried Hiram, "do you really

But just then Miss Rosamond Estcourt
fluttered into the room, gorgeous in a
black grenadine dress, embroidered all
over with iitraw-colored butterflies, and
the family soliloquy was brought to a
premature close. jNeveruieiess, tne xuse
hail been fired, the little grain of mustard-seed
sown, and poor Agatha Pley
ell's peace of mind was seriously threat
ened at last.
Hiram sat in the moonlight that night
on the little back porch, thinking over
the new subject of meditation so sud
denly opened to him. Rustio youth
though he was, he was by no means un
usceptible of ambitious impulses, and
this idea of a Fifth Avenue heiress in
love with him, at once spurred on his
aspirations and flattered his self-appreciation..
But there was Jazel-eyed Agatha
Pleyell. - ..
True, but there was not, and never
had been, any formal engagement be
tween himself and Miss Pleyell. They
had always been tacitly acknowledged
sweethearts, but nothing more. Agatha
couldn't say any compact had been
broken, and aftar all Hiram's face grew j
unpleasantly hot in the cool moonshine j
it was a man's business to consult his j
own interest in these things.
But where j the use of following out
the chain of argument and self atnltifv-
ing logic by which Hiram Johnson delib
erately made up his mind to be a villain.
Poor Agatha! . All in vain now she
dressed herself in the pretty pink calico.
which made her look like a newly blos
somed sweet pea, and brushed her curls
until they shone like brown satin all in
vain sno sat at tne winnow in tne twi
light, watching and listening for the foot
steps that never came. . - -
"It's harvest time," thought Agatha,
resolved to invent some excuse or other
for her faithless swain, "and I suppose
he is very busy. He will come soon.
But Mrs. Hartly came in one sultry af
ternoon, and triumphantly proclaimed
the piece of village news which was just
then floating in the atmosphere.
"Hev ve heard," quoth Mrs. Hartly,
"Ilirum Johnson's engaged to that rich
city gal that's a boarding to his mother's
house, and they re goin to be married
next month?"
The scarlet rushed in a sanguine ride
to Agatha's face, and then receded, leav
ing the transparent skin marble pale.
"I do not believe it," she ejaculated,
almost before she knew what she was
saying. .
"Well, we may, for Mrs. Johnson told
mo ho herself. She's dreadfnl net up
about it, Mrs. Johnson is. She always
was an ambitious, driving creature, and
Hiram's just like her. Well, I hope the
Johnsons will feel better now," some
what viciously added Mrs. Hartly, who
liad a tall, raw boned son of her own,
concerning whom and Miss Estcourt she
had entertained secret hopes ever since
one rainy Sunday afternoon, when the
heiress had graciously consented to walk
home from chnrch nnder Seth Hartly's
green cotton umbrella.
She went awny to spread the news
elsewhere, adding to it the item that
Agatha Pleyell was clean took aback, and
no wonder; for everybody s'posed she
and Hiram Johnson was as good as en
gaged; them Johnsons wonld any of 'em
sell their souls for a ten dollar gold
piece, ana give dsck nve aousn m
change." m . . .

And poor Agatna, pitiea oy tne wnoie
neighborhood, was quietly sobbing her
self to sleep in her own room, fondly
supposing that no one knew her secret.
1 I i ram Johnson and his elderly bride
nifltlv married in the little Elder-
town Chnrch. for Rosamond declared
"the sweet summer idyl must end where
it began; she could not go back to the
city to be married, on any account; it
would spoil the whole illusion." And
Mrs. Johnson made a wedding cake
nearly as large round as a cart wheel, and
invited all the neighbors in a spirit of
ostentation which made Mrs. Hartly
secretly long Wpull her cap ribbons out
of joint. And so Hiram Johnson and the
fair Rosamond, set forth rejoicing on
their wedding tour.
They went to Niagara, Saratoga and
the Thousand Isles of the St. Lawrence,
and Hiram began to grow a little nneasy,
as nothing was said of the prospective
fortune he supposed himself to have
married into.
"Well, ducky," he said, one fine even
ing, "shall we go straight on to New
York, or first to Eldertown ?"
"Why to New York?" asked Mrs.
Johnson innocently, t
"You live there, don't you ?" "
Rosamond showed her false teeth in an
artless smile.
"I live where you do. Hiram dear."
But number Fifth Avenue? Was
it not your house ?" gasped the bride
groom. "My goodness gracious, no! What
ever made you think so ?
''It was on your baggage when you
came to our house."
"Of course," said Mrs. Johnson. '"But
that was because it was the place I lived
at last."
'"The placer
"Yes, Hiram dear; I'm a dressmaker
by trade."
"A dressmaker! But, Rosamand, I
thought you were an heiress," broke
from Hiram's dry lips,
"I can't help what you thought," said
Rosamand. "I never said so."
"But you allowed everybody to think
so."
Rosamand put her handkerchief to her
eyes, and the point of her nose blushed
scarlet. I
"I'm not to blame for what people
may choose to think," she sobbed hys
terically; "and if you married me be
cause you imagined I was rich ''
And here ensued the first thorough
going "scene" of their married life.
Hiram's reproaches were bitter. He
claimed in the heat of his anger that he
had been deliberately entrapped nnder
false pretenses, and Rosamond retorted
by accusing him of mercenary motives;
and there can be no manner of doubt
that both were right. One thing though
was quite certain they were married,
and there was nothing left for it but to
wear the chains as easily as possible.
Hiram Johnson.went back to his farm
and to his work, and Mrs. Hiram John
son eked out their slender income by
making dresses for the neighborhood.
And it so happened that the second dress
she made was one of white Swiss muslin
for pretty AgathaPleyell to be married in
Hiram wasn t worse than other men.
but it did chafe him that Agatha couldn't
have mourned aver his defection a little
longer. Agatha had consoled herself,
and he was tied for life to an ugly, ill
tempered old maid, and all because ha
liad fondly noped to "marry neii.

Pabino Tomatoes. Those who are in
the habit of scalding their tomatoes be
fore paring them, can hardly think how
macu nicer t aey are without the scald
ing. It is not so difficult to pare a fully
ripe tomato, without the Bcalding, when
one gets in the habit of doing it. If one
is paring those not fully ripe, she should
have a sharp thin knife, and pare them
from the blossom to the stem, instead of
around like an apple. If they are not
smooth, one can cut them apart in the
creases, and thus get at the skin.
" Selecting Meat. It is always import
ant to know how to choose meat in buy
ing. Ox beef should be of fine grain or
fibre, the flesh or lean of a bright red
color and firm ; the fat white, and dis
tributed throughout the lean; it should
not be yellow or semi fluid. If the meat
is entirely lean it will be tough and its
nutritive power low.
Veal is dry if fresh. It should be
close grained. If the moat is moist and
flabby it is stale.
Mutton should be of a clear, deep
pink tint; firm and with a liberal supply
of fat. Fine wether mutton may be
recognized by the presence of a small
mass of fat upon the upper part of the
leg. It is more nutritious than ordinary
mutton, and the darker its tint the finer
its flavor. - !
Pork, if eaten at all, should be of a I
pale, p,nk tint, and the fat very firm. If
it is soft or if the fat is yellow the meat I
is bad.

Making. Mr,
irives the following description of the
methods or managing mo uuny . j
dairy at present consists of fifteen cows
in milk, seven of which are two and
three-yearoid heifers. Eleven of the fif
teen are homeless, being chiefly descend
ants from the English Buffolks crossed
with the Jerseys. Two of the others are
of the same blood, but taking strongly
from the Jerseys have small horns. lue
feed is from good English hay, as good as
1 know how to produce, cut early ana
well cured. It is iriven in two meals only.
oue in the morning front six to eight, and
the other between tour and six o'clock in
the evening. Grain is fed after the hay
in the morning at the rate of four quarts
of wheat brau, one quart cornuaeal and
one pint cotton-seed meal each to the
heifers and an additional quart of corn
meal to the older cows, all made into a
stiff dough with spring water. The r.ni
mnls are bedded on clean sand which is
laid up under cover in summer in large
quantities. This is thrown under them
twice a day in liberal quantities, and the
raised platforms upon which they stand
are kept as clean as practicable. The
gutters buck of the cows are made quite
open that the liquids may pass through
immediately. This with the free use of
sand aids much in reducing the amount
of labor required in keeping the
bodies of the animals clean. Tin
milking palls only are used, and the
milk is strained through both wire
gauze and fine cloth. After straining,
the milk is set in an average tempera
ture of about sixty dearees in old lasti
ioned, shallow tin pans, holdiug some five
or six quarts each. The pans are pressed
and seamless and niucn more easily
cleaned, than those made from pieces
soldered together. Skimming is done
every morning, one-half the milk being
twenty-tour and the other thirty-six
hours old. It iBskimined in the morning
because the cream is then cool and firmer
than at nisht and comes off more per
fectly and with less waste. The cream is
kept in large tin vessels, plenty of fine
Rait beincr thrown into each pail when
commencing to gather the cream, and a
glass paddle is kept constantly iu eacn
vessel with which to stir thoroughly
when new cream is added. I churn twice
a week and have the cream slightly sour
when it enters the churn. II sweet cream
is added at the time, a little delay is made
before pushing the churning, that the
d sour uortions may become
tlmrnnffhlv mixed. Unless the tempera
ture is known to be just right, the cream
is either cooled in well water or warmed
in a itPttin nf warm water, the thermome
ter being kept in the cream, which is
stirred constantly until the desired de
reached, which is never over
KiTtv-three decrees in winter nor below
sixty degrees in sunnier. The churning
ia done in the Bullard oscillating churn
n, norainiea from fortV-five to sixty
minutes, and often more, including the
getting ready And finishing up. The
churning is stopped as soon as the
butter is in fine particles, like turnip or
wheat seed, the buttermilk being then
drawn off and a pail of cold water thrown
in to rinse the milk from tne sunace o
the littln crumbs. It is then taken out
upon an inclined board, and after being
pressed togetner pretty company, wmuu
operation forces out nearly all the butter
milk Hi a cnlnr and salt are added and
worked evenly through the mass while it
is yet. pliable, ine coior is apinieu m
fine white sugar, which is worked in very
nlii?htlv before aDDlvine the salt. Apply
ing the color in this way. I always know
when the salt is sufficiently worked in,
nn.l mn know iust when to stoo a very
imnortant kind of knowledge to have
when working butter. Depending upon
th color for a aaiae prevents the liability
of overworking, while it insures perfect
freedom from stripes and streaks caused
bv uneven saltinn. The proportion of salt
in two-fifths of an ounce to a pound of
butter, measured by the eye, which in my
case is very accurate after so long a prac
tice. My worker tases irom twelve to m
teen pounds at once, and when I have
two or more parcels one is piled upon
another and then cut down through and
immediately reworked, thus insuring
perfect uniformity in salting and coloring
each churning. The butter ia then ready
for putting in ono-fourth pound cups by
hand labor. It is then folded in new
bleached cotton wrappers and packed for
market, three layers deep, wun ciotn oe
tween, in round wooden boxes, holding
fourteen pounds each. These boxes are
then enclosed in strong shipping cases,
and in summer broken ice is used ne-
t wpon th amaller boxes while in transit
Twelve to sixteen pounds of ice, costing
from three to four cents, is all I have
found it necessary to use for each trip, the
expressman taking it ten miles by stage
and twenty-five by rail between the hours
of eight and ten o'clock in the forenoon,
then carrving it over the pavements across
the city tb Quincy Marketduringthe next
hour. Ho ice is used in the dairy for any
other purpose than shipping the butter
over the road m not weatuer., ah me
work' of tempering the cream, churning,
working and putting up the butter is done
on the same day and as rapiuiy as possi
ble. On no account would I ever rework
or handle butter after it once becomes
thorouifhlv cold and stiff. Working but
ter the day following churning I consider
a bad practice. Good, sound, well made
butter requires very little ice for hand
ling or marketing, while that which is
poorly made, either in the churning or
the working, will seldom harden well even
on ice. In presenting this statement, I
have endeavored to give all the principal
important points in my somewhat old
fashioned method of butter making, but
if I have overlooked any matter of inter
est I will reply to any questions which
such oversight may suggest.
Good Klght Words.
The last waking thoughts of a child
have a peculiar power over his mind and
heart, and are influential in fixing his
impressions and shaping his character
for all time. When he turns from play
and playmates, and leaves the busy oc
cupations of his little world to lie down
by himself to sleep, a child has a sense
of loneliness and dependence which he
does not feel at any other time. Then
he craves sympathy; he appreciates
kindness; is grieved by harshness or
cold neglect. . How glad he is to kneel
by his mother's knee in prayer, or to
have his father kneel with him as he
prays. How he enjoys words of appro
val or encouragement when they pre
cede the good-night kiss from either
parent.
With what warm and grateful affection
his young heart glows as he feels the
tender impress of his mother s hand or
lips on his forehead before he drops
asleep. How bright and dear that home
seems to him at such an hour. How
sorry he is for every word or act of un'
kindness, which he then recalls irom
his conduct of the day. How ready he
is to make new resolves and purposes of
better doing in the future. W hatever
else a child is impatient to grow away
from, he does not readily outgrow the
enjoyment of his kind mother's good
night.
As long as she is willing to visit his
bedside, and give him a kiss with a lov
ing word just before he goes to sleep, he
is sure to count that a priviledge of his
home as something above price, and
without which he would have a sense of
bad luck. And at no time is he more
sure than then to be ready to do what
ever his mother would ask of him ; and
at no time do her tender words sink
deeper into his heart, or make an im
pression more abiding and influential.
But many parents lose sight of truth.
Their last words at night to their child
ren are by no means their pleasautest.
Indeed, there is, perhaps, no one thing
in which parents more commonly err
than in impatient or unloving words to
their children when the little ones are
going to bed, : The parents are tired, and
their stock of patience at the lowest. If
the children are not quiet and orderly
and prompt as they should be, the
parents rebuke them more sharply than
they would fair similar offences earlier in
the day.
Too often children go to bed smarting
under a sense of injustice from their
parents, and brood over their troubles as
they quiet down to sleep, so that their
little hearts are embittered and calloused
through the abiding impressions of the
wrong they have suffered, or the harsh
ness they have .experienced while they
were mqst susceptible to the influence
for good or ill.
There is one hill in this life, that no
man can get by, and that is the little
mound called the grave.
The postage stamp knows its place
after it has been licked once. ,
ABU BEX ABESD'g DOSKET.
Un. Elizabeth Camlngtlo the Independent
Aba Ben Abend was old and rich and
stingy. His brown face was puckered
and wrinkled, like an apple that has
baked too long. His body was bent over
till it looked like the letter C. and he
could not walk without the aid of a stout
stick; but he was as keen at a bargain
and an alert to make and keep money as
if he were young and strong. His only
pleasure were counting over his gold
pieces and beating his daughter and his
donkey.
His daughter, l'atima, was beautitui
and good; but he did not love her. He
valued her only for the price he thought
he should receive for her some time. I
do not know whether it is because girls
are worth more or less than they are in
the United States, but they are sold in
Turkey.
Ziba, his donkey, was a perfect treas
ure of a beast. Out of him Abu Ben
Abend got no end of work, for he hired
him by the day to any driver who would
pay his price; Init of Fatima he required
nothing. She sat in her chamber day
after day, with deaf old Zilpa, her nurse,
and made tatting and embroidered pin
cushions; but she wished with all her
heart she oould do something more use
ful and interesting. Once in a while she
was allowed to take a ride on Ziba's back,
when the poor little beast eould not be
rented; and that she thought was the
greatest joy the world contained.
Aoross the way from Abu Ben Abend's
stately mansion was an old house, in
which lived a handsome young fellow,
named Y'oussif El Kedar, with his mother
and sisters. He had a right to wear the
green turban, for he was a descendant of
the prophet; but he was so poor he wore
an old fez' except on holy days, and car
ried bundles, or ran on errands, or did
anything by which he could earn a
copper.
For him Abu Ben Abend had the ut
most content and hatred. He despised
him because be was poor, and hated him
because he was young and handsome
Often, when he struck his daughter for
some little offense, he would say; "By
the beard of my grandfather, yoq shall
marry that son of nothingness, Youssif
til iiedar, u yon do not strive to please
me more. And when he beat Ziba, be
tween the blows he would cry out: "To
destruction with you, most mulish of all
animals! I'll sell you to Youssif El
Kedar if you don't earn me more money
' .Now, when one hears a man s name
spoken often, either for good or ill, one
desires to see him. So Fatima watched
for Youssif with great interest; and when
at last she saw him, standing in the
street, tall and straight like a palm tree
she fell in love with him, and thought of
him constantly from morning till night.
But as it is considered unladylike in
Turkey for a maiden to show her face or
to sieak to any man not of her own fam
ily, Fatima contented herself with peep
ing at her neighbor through her barred
window or from her latticed balconv,
One afternoon, when her father was
away collecting his usury, Fatima crept
down the stairs to the stable of Ziba. the
one creature in the house she could pet
and love.
"Dear Ziba," she cried, throwing her
arms about the little beast's neck,
am very, very unhappy. My father
scolds me every moment he is in the
house.
"Climb upon my back and let me
take you out into the busy streets," said
the donkey, rubbing his sort, warm nose
against her rosy cheek.
Fatima shrank back alarmed, for Ziba
had never spoken to her before.
"Don't be scared, dear mistress" said
he. "When donkeys have been beaten
999 times the prophet gives them the
power of speech as a recompense. Do
as I have bid you. Array yourself in
your prettiest gown, put on your yellow
slippers and your veil, and I will carry
you out into the world and we will see
what will happen. .
Fatima put on her nicest clothes and
hung over her face her veil, which was
made of thick white cloth, and left only
her beautiful black eyes visible; then
skipped down stairs and climbed upon
Ziba s back. Away he trotted, through
crowded streets, over high bridges and
across open squares, till he came to an
unfrequented lane that led through
fields of wheat. A young man was walk
ing in the road, and when Fatima over
took him, Ziba began to act in a singular
way; for he pranced, backed, and hnally
reared up on his hind legs, and would
have thrown his mistress to the ground
had not the young man caught her in his
arms.
As he did so the envious veil slipped
to one side, and Youssif El Kedar (for it
was he) saw Fatima's lovely, blushing
face lying on his breast.
"Allah be praised !" he cried, and
kissed her on the lips.
Y'oussif helped Fatima to mount upon
the back of the naughty Ziba, and in
sisted on walking by her side until they
reached the street in which they both
lived.
"You are a bad beast," said Fatima,
and gave the donkey twice his allowance
lor supper.
The next morning Abu Ben Abend
hlied the house with uproar, lie swore
and stamped and tore his beard and
threatened to beat somebody within an
inch of his life. "Youssif El Kedar,
beggar, and the son of a beggar, has
written me a note demanding your hand
in marriage," he cried to Fatima. "By
the head of Mohammed, I would fry him
in oil for his impudence if it were in my
power.
Fatima went down to the stable to see
her one friend.
"Be comforted, dear lady," said Ziba.
"A kind act is never lost. You have leen
kind to me many times, and Youssif El
Kedar is the kindest driver I have ever
known. Loose ay halter and let me go,
ana we snail see what will happen.
Fatima was afraid the donkey would
not return, and told him so.
"A kind act is never lost. Do as I bid
you, and we shall see what will happen,
was his only reply.
Fatima untied him, gently patted his
shaggy gray neau, and kissing him be
tween the eyes, undid the gate. Ziba
thrust his nose nnder her hands for a
moment, then turned and ran swiftly
down the street.
As soon as he knew the donkey was
missing from the stable, Abu en Abend
had another anger fit; and as the days
went by and he did not return, Abu lien
Abend, like all greedy people, magnified
his loss, till it seemed to him the most
precious treasure he had ever had was
Ziba, and h waa willing to give anything
to regain mm.
A month had passed and brought no
tidings, when one day xoussif El Kedar.
dressed in his green turban and his best
cjothes and having at his side his grand-
latner s sword, wtuoh was shaped like
tue new moon, knocked at Abu Ben
Abend's door.
Abu Ben Abend opened it himself.
'Ah 1" he cried, his face turkey-red with
rage, "ion want an answer to your let
ter, do you? Bring back my donkey
this afternoon, at 3 o'clock and you shall
marry my daughter !" and then he slam
med the door in Youssif 's face.
For a moment Youssif felt like kick
ing the door down and slicing off Abu
Ben Abend's head with his sword, but
his anger cooled quickly, for he thought:
' r ive hours must elapse before 3 o clock.
I can at least look for the beast, Abu
Ben Abend may find a bargain is a bar
gain, Jttound and round the City Youssif went
till he came to the lonely lane between
the fields of wheat that were now as yel
low as amber and ready for the sickle.
Way down the road he saw a little gray
figure, very like a donkey.
'Ziba ! Ziba ! he cried. But when he
ran the beast ran, and when he walked
the beast walked, so he could not over
take him. And they soon came to a high
hill, when the gray figure seemed to melt
away, into the wall of gray rock.
-"lba I Ziba ! iNlost lovely of animals I
am promised the hand' of your mis
tress, the good and beautiful Fatima, if
restore you to your master. Vq not
hide from me."
'Knock on the rock five times," said a
voioe.
Youssif knocked, and the gray stone
opened like a door and disclosed a nar
row staircase, which seemed to go down.
down into the heart of the earth. On
either side the wall was lined with sharp
knives that twinkled and glittered like a i
thousand lamps; and far down the de
scent stood Ziba. Youssif ran down the i
stone steps, unmindful of the keen
knives, and stood by the little donkey in
a moment.
"Ah, my treasure 1" he cried. "Mr
eye's delight 1 Come with me at once
from this place and return to Abu Ben
Abend, that I may marry the rose of
women, the beautiful Fatima."
"On one condition," said Ziba. :
"Name it," cried Yonssif .
"Yon must buy me," said Ziba.
"Alas!" groaned Yonssif, "you ask
the impossible. Abu Bend Abend would
not sell you for a thousand gold pieces,
and I am very poor."
"Knock on the wall before you five
times,- said the donkey.
Youssif did as he was bidden. The
wall opened, as the gray rock had done;
and he saw a large vaulted room, in
which were great heaps of gold and
precious stones, before which sat strange
shapes, that held in their arms silver
harps, upon which they made sweet mu
sic. :
"This man," said Ziba to them, "has
never done a dishonorable act; has never
spoken a cross word to a living creature,
nor struck a blow upon man or beast.
His safe passage down the stairway of
knives proves it. Give him, I pray you,
his reward."
One of the strange beings laid a sack up
on Ziba's back, and another filled ti with
gold and precious gems, till the little fel
low cried: "I can bear no more."
"Now," said the astonished Youssif, "we
will return to the upper world, and we
shall see what will happen."
Precisely at 3 o'clock Youssif entered
Abu Ben Abend's gate, leading Ziba by
the halter.
"Allah be praised! and may all don
keys be destroyed!" cried Abu Ben
Abend, falling upon Ziba with his stout
stick. "I'll teach you abominable beast
to stay in your stable in the future."
"Hold! " said Youssif, seizing his arm.
"For how much will you sell so miser
able an animal?"
"Five hundred gold sequins!" shouted
Abu Ben Abend. "Five hundred gold
sequins, thou beggar! Not a para less."
'I will pay yon that prioe for him,"
said Youssif, calmly opening his girdle.
"And to make you feel less lonely at
giving up the good and beautiful Fatima,
I shall be happy to add to that sum 500
gold lira as a wedding gift."
Youssif counted out the money; and
as a lira is equal to about $1 50, and a
sequin is worth about $1 25, the whole
amount made quite a little bill, of gold
upon Abu Ben Abend's table.
"Bismillah!" cried that gentleman,
shutting his eyes and dropping down
upon his rug in an ecstacy of joy. "Bis
millah! That I should have a neighbor
and not know it. Now I can depart in
peace, since so great and excellent a man
is going to marry my daughter."
The wedding of Yonssif and Fatima
was celebrated with great splendor as
became a descendant of the prophet and
the daughter! of a rich money-lender;
and they began housekeeping in a beau
tiful villa that overlooked the Sweet
Waters.
When they had been married a year
and a day, Ziba bade them an affectionate
good-by, and trotted away down the lane
between the fields of wheat till he came
to the hill-side, where he disappeared in
the gray rocks, as he did on the memor
able day I have described, and though
Youssif knocked many times no answer
came.
That night a thicket of wild roses
sprang up about the gray rock and hid
it; and Youssif, believing it to be a sacred
place, erected a shrine there, and those
who visited it sometimes heard a voice in
the earth -whisper: "A kind act is never
lqst. Be kind. Be kind,"
Youssif and Fatima were so very happy
together, their bliss became a proverb;
and when they died, at the close of a long
life, and were buried beneath the shrine,
among the roses, for many years young
people made pilgrimages to the spot, to
pray that in their wedded life they might

Dowb the Amies In a Hand Car.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times has been having some experience
and taking a ride among the Andes, an
account of which is worth reading. He
says:
" Here I am at Chicla, Peru, among
the snow-capped peaks of the Andes,
12,220 feet above the sea, acclimating
myself for a trip over the mountains
whose highest point, 17,570 feet, I in
tend to scale. Leaving Lima this morn
ing with a party of officers, I came over
the celebrated Oroya railroad to Alatu
cana, and from thereby the light express
to this place, the present terminus of the
road. The building of this road was one
of the greatest undertakings the world
has ever known. It is only completed 86
miles, and cost $30,000,000. From the
sea coast to the summit of the Andes we
passed through 44 tunnels and over
many high bridges, one of them 200 feet
high. The road follows the valley of the
River Rimas, crossing and recrossing it
many times. From Matucana to the top
is nothing but succession of Vs, 2s,
and doublings. Some of the places are
really frightful. As you pass around a
mountain peak you can look for thou
sands of feet and still above you can see
the lofty peaks of the Andes. Even here
at Chicla we are 5000 feet from the top,
and the railroad tunnel on the summit
will )e over 12,000 feet above the sea.
" Chicla is the highest railroad station
and within a few feet of the highest city
in the world, in lama or Caliao the
lightest clothing would be very comfort
able, but up here I would wear a suit of
heavy underclothing and a large ulster.
With all my clothes I am nearly freez
ing, and a red-hot stove close by, at that.
liess than a week ago X was in the tropi
cal seas of the equator quite a change.
Most people are troubled with what they
call " scdroche," headache,' nausea, and
sometimes bleeding at the nose, mouth
and ears. The air is so rare it is difficult
to breathe.
" At the invitation of the road-master I
took a ride with him down the road. We
were just ahead of the regular train, and
we started off like a streak of lightning.
I have been in a good many tight places
in my life, but never m a position to
make my hair literally stand on end as it
did coming down the Andes on a hand
car. never till my dying day can 1 for
get that ride. Starting among the very
clouds, down, down we came, disappear
ing like a flash in a tunnel of pitchy
darkness and out on to a frail-looking
bridge over a mighty gorge from 200 to
300 feet deep. We stopped in a long
curved tunnel to look at some work that
was going on. and did not hear the tram
in our rear until it was in tne cunnei.
We could not lift the hand car off, so we
made a spring for it, cut loose the brake,
and made a dash for our lives. Ad.
it looked so. for she oame in full view be
fore we were well across the gorge; and
on she came at the rate of a mile a
minute, but we were going by this time
mnch faster than that, and in a short
time we left her far behind. We reached
Matucana, 200 miles from Chicla, in
safety, but since I had to think it all
over I would hardly try to do it again."
Okder in the Household. No one
likes to live under a slatterly rule; but
certainly the love of order can be carried
too far. There are some women that are
slaves to it. and who impress themselves
upon the memory of their families that
the recollection of their acquaintances,
and never withmit a dust-cloth in one
band, and "both eyes on the alert ft
something " out of place." They spend
life " putting things to rights," and their
epitaphs might appropriately read " she
hath finished 'slacking up. " Such
women are trying companions: their
very virtues make them so.
To Make Tomato Catsup. One gal
lon of peeled tomatoes, four pods of red
pepper; cook until tender, and strain
carefully through a coarse sieve; then
stir in four tablespoons of salt, four
tablespoons of ground mtroer. three

a tablespoon' of allspice, and one pint of
vinegar; simmer slowly three or four
hours; bottle'while hot, and close tightly,
and the preparation will keep good for
years, xt can also ue made in the win

"Don't Blister Me Again."
A young wife in Michigan had just got

fair and promising, for she did not know
her husband was a drunkard. ' But one
night he tame home at a very late hour,
and much the worse for liquor,
When he staggered into the house, the
wife, who was greatly shocked, told him
he was sick, and to he down at once; and
in a moment or two he was comfortably

His face was a reddish purple, his breath

Quarreling.
There are some natures so harmoni
ously balanced as to be naturally
averse to incidental and abnormal ex
citement. There are others, again, in a
state of perpetual and sudden alterca
tion, iiying to ' extremes, especially in
emotional directions. But the vast ma
jority of people hover between these two
poles, and, especially in the matter of
quarreling, abandon themselves to cir
cumstances.
Now if it could only be well under
stood that quarreling is. as we mav rhv.
always a blunder, and that it is almost
invariably avoidable, it is clear that a
little precaution might remove,to a great
extent, this trouble from life. It takes
two to make a quarrel, and you may re
fuse to quarrel if you like.
The more you quarrel the more unlike
ly you are to convince your opponent
that he is is in the wrong. It is in the
nature of quarrels that both disputants
imagine they are in the right. Recrimi
nation never contains argument that has
the least effect, and the only result of
the quarrel is to waste a large portion of
time in profitless irritation and to injure
one's health.
The tendency to let any dispute drift
into a quarrel is very much a matter of
nauit, but it is a habit that mav be
greatly modified, if not greatly cured.
We should teach ourselves, to bpcin
with, that moderation in language and
temper is evidence, not of weakness of
Character, but of the reverse. W hile
dispute is vet in embryo moderation and
self control may remove it, but when it
passes that stage when it is developed
into a quarrel then all hope of setting

A Mountain Mtstery. Up to the 23d
of August the mystery over the sinking
mountain is still unsolved, unless the
explanation given by Mr. Stephenson,
an old and accomplished scientist, is the
true one. He has lived in the gold bear
ing section ever since the first white men
came here. He says that he distinctly
remembers that about 40 years ago a
shaft of a mine was run under the edge
of this mountain and afterward aban
doned. Later the water of the river.

stream, and he supposes that it has grad
ually washed out the nlmft nn.l nnUnu.1
the hole, until there was a vast chasm of
a half mile long, and fully as broad and
half as deep. He thinks this washing
continued until the support of about
one-third of the mountain was eaten
away, and it then tumbled into the
chasm. It seems almost incredible that
this could be true, and yet it is the only
explanation onerea. This ittr. Stephen
son holds would account for" the contin
ued sinking of the broken mass, as he
holds that the river is still eating it
away. Thousands qf persons have vis
ited the scene, and manv superstitious
foars have been raised on'acconnt of the
fail of the mountain. The whole gold
bearing section is full of violent streams,
falls and cascades, and there are some
few subterranean streams of considerable
size. Special to Courier-Journal.
Drugging Babies. I think it will be
round that the increase in the sale of
opium, about which there has been come
outcry, is due to the school boards. A
poor woman, obliged to send her child
ren to school, is left with the baby. The
girl who in past times would have attend
ed to the baby whilst her mother went to
her work, is at school. The mother must,
therefore, choose between stopping at
home to watch the baby and forfeiting
tne money sne can earn out or doors, and
going to work and leaving the baby to
shift for itself. It may not be natural.but
it is perhaps ineligible, that she should
compromise with her maternal instincts
drugging the baby, so that while she is
absent site may console herself with re
flecting that baby cannot -possibly be in
mischief, ant that it does not hoed her
care. If the establishment of a crtehe were
a compulsory condition of the establish
ment of a school board, the sale of laud
anum, i take it, would very sensiblv de
crease. Mayfair.

Helminthology. Of late years no de
partment of natural history has attract
ed more attention than that of the study
of internal parasites in man and other
animals. To the great multitude and
variety of creatures thus found, associat
ed by one common habit of life, have
zoologists given the general name of Hel
minths, which are a peculiar fauna des
tined at some time in their lives to occu
py an equally peculiar territory. That
territory is the wide-spread domain of
the interior of living animal bodies to
which, alas, poor humanity forms no ex
ception. It is unpleasant to think that
we may at any time become a prey to these
dangerous and mischievous depredators.
We were lead to these reflections by a
recent visit to Dr. Van Denberg's office,
when he had just completed the expul

who stated that he had suffered for 12

and a half . inches in length, excepting
one a nondescript about three inches
long, an attrocious rascal of forbidding
appearance. Dr. Van Denberg is the
great worm exterminator of the century.
