Mr. and Sir. IlUUxer McSwnt'i Ill-Fnted
, Wedding Journey.
I Tho sun novor shone upon a lovolior
morning than that which ushered in tho
wedding day of Bllllgor McSwat and
Lobollii Grubb.
Far away in tho dreamy distance
stretched a landscape that seemed to
vibrato in tho mollow hazo of tho
gold oil October day as if tho unseen
spirits that inhabit tho air ore beat
ing it with fairy wings in tho irrepres
sible oxubcranco of ovcrllowing lifo
and joy.

' liilligcr and Lobelia McSwat had
Just started on their wedding journey.
Animated by tho sincere and laudable
purpose of affording no indication in
their manner, apparel, or behavior
Jhat they were taking such a trip
Uilllgor woro a suit of now black broad
cloth, with a lavender necktie, and
Lobelia was attired in a silk dress of a
delicate liloo tint, with no conspicuous
ornaments except a largo solitaire ring
on one of tho fingers of her left hand
nnd a few orange blossoms modestly
nnd becomingly arranged in her Par
isian traveling hat. They sat on tho
luxurious cushion of a palaoo car, Bllli
por's arm resting carolcssly on tho
Lack of tho seat occupied by his lovely
brido, and Lobelia leaning toward
liilligcr in tho easy, tender, confiding
manner of a mother in Israol going
with her aged companion to an Old
Settlers' meeting, or tho Secretary of a
Young Lady Society for tho Dissemin
ation of Useful Knowledge accompany
ing an elder brother on a shopping ex
pedition. 'Bllllgor," faltered tho brido, turn
ing her beautiful eyes trustingly to his,
"nobody would suspect that wo aro
that wo havo just been that wo aro on
our do you think?"
"Certainly not, Lobolia," affirmed
Uilllgor, with great posltivoness, as he
smiled fondly and reassuringly upon
her.
'Thoy think wo aro brother and sis
ter, Bllllgor, or at least that wo aro old
marrlod."
"Chestnuts!" exclaimed a voice.
Tho young husband turned fiercely
around to seo who had spoken.
It was tho train-boy, an iuuocont lad
of seventeen summors, on whoso face
was a look of such chlld-liko simplicity
that Hllliger's hasty suspicions woro at
onco allayed.
"Lobelia, my lovo," ho said, ten
derly, "would you llko some chest
nuts?" "If you llko, doar,," she replied,
trustingly.
Bllllgor put his hand into his pocket.
Then ho put his other hand into his
other pocket, and his face turned an
ashen gray.
"Lobelia!" ho said, hoarsoly. "I I
havo left my pocket-book, with my
money and tickets, in my other pa In
way other trousers! Havo you any
money with you' Quick! Hero comes
tho conductor!"
"I think 1 havo, Bllllgor," said Lo
bolia. Sho put her hand in hor pockot nnd
turned pale.
"Uilllgor," sho exclaimed plteously,
"I havo loft my pockot-book in my
other dross!"
Tho station at which tho train
stopped was only sovon miles from
homo. Uilllgor and Lobolia McSwat
got out, tho ecstatic bridegroom por
uuodod a grasping, sordid monopolist
who kept a livery stable to accept his
gold watch as security for tho hire of a
carrlago and driver, and Mr. and Mrs.
McSwat drovo homo in pensive sllonco
through tho balmy autumnal laud
Bcnpo, which tho mellow rays of tho
golden October sun bathed in a sea of
molten glory.
H tho story of tho first day of Bllll
gcr and Lobelia's wedding journey
hall servo as a warning to others it
will not havo boon written by tho sor
rowing historian in vain. Chicago

world's greatest poets. William Cullon
Uryant, and of his faithful companion
In lifo. Tho site of this last routing
place of tho dead was selected by tho
poot-odltor who now sloops within Its

tho following words:
"I Kuxml UKn tho Klorloiu iky

It was Bryant that also gave tho
nuino to tho picturesque village which
for ho many years was his homo. In

that when tho British left Long Island
thoy inarched out of Hempstead to tho
tuno of "Koslyn Castle," and accord
ingly gave tho uainu of Uoslyu to tho

According to Dr. Cornet, Tuberculosis
is nine times more frequent among nur
ses than among any other class of per
sons. As soon as the peach and pear crop is
off cultivate among the trees to kill out
the grass and weeds, in order to save la
bor next season.
Next month lawn grass seed may be
sown for the spring crop of lawn grass.
Spado the ground well and rake the seed
in, but cover very lightly.
Ab plants vary in their desire for foods
it is not impossible for a piece of ground
to fail in tho production of certain kinds
of crops and yield largely of others, owing
to the composition of the soil and tho
plant food contained therein.
Chili Sauce. Take six largo ripe to
matoes, one onion, one red pepper, two
cups of vinegar, two tablespoonfulB of
sugar, one table spoonful of salt; chop
very fine and boil one hour. In making
ten times this amount let it boil five or
six hours.
Grapo Butter. Press the finest grapes
through a colander, and to each quart of
the substance add ono and a quarter
paunds of sugar, spice to taste and boil
slowly for ono hour, stirring frequently.
Put in stone or glass jars and keep in a
cool place.
Corn FritterB. One dozen ears of
sugar corn, grated or scraped ; three eggs,
whites and jolks beaten separately;
three grated crackers, ono tabespoonful
of melted butter, pepper and salt to tasto.
If not thick enough, add a little more
cracker. Fry in butter and lard mixed.
Tho old horse is safer and bettor for the
use of the younger members of tho family
than younger ones, but for general farm
work a horse should bo young and strong.
During the summer, when the work is
very heavy, the horses should be fed
three times a day and given two hours
est at noon.
Grapo Wine. Secure the finest grapes
and press out all the juice. To each gal
lon add threo pounds of sugar; stand in
an open vessel in tho cedar to ferment,
keeping the vessel filled by adding sweet
ened water. When done fermenting,
put into a cask and bung tightly.
The best points of a dairy cow can be
seen when the cows are at their best,
and then is the best time to make vour
selection, because in the aggregate tho
farm Block has paid should not bo satis
factory. It is important to know not
only which kind of stock, but also which
animals pay tho largest per cent of profit.
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
of exhausted soil. The tree will make a
growth of leaves and wood on poor land,
but they require mineral manure to per
fect tht fruit. Land that has been too
rough for plowing may yet have spaces
between the rocks where fruit trees will
thrive, and it is better than land that has
been exhausted by long cropping.
A soil containing free lime, potash or
magnesia is in condition to form rapidly
in warm weather under tilage valuable
compoundsof nitrogen, which will hasten
plant growth. This process, called ultui
faetion of tho soil, does not go on rapidly
in tho absence of limo, potash, soda, etc.,
henco the importance of applying lime
and potash to soils deficient in them.
Dahlias should always have stout
stakes driven closo to the main stalk of
the plant to give the support needed in
case of high winds. If these stakes aro
painted green they will not be noticeable,
and if they are taken indoora in autumn,
when thodahlia roots aro taken up, they
will last several years. Thoy are much
neater than anything that "happens to be
at hand" when you get around to attend
to this necessary work.
Baked Tomatoes. Paro and quarter
nice large tomatoes and put them in a
inlander to drain. Cut tho crust trom
nmo slices of stale bread, trim them to
tit the bottom of a buttered pudding dish,
and fry them to a light brown in hot fat.
Dip thorn in salted boiling milk, and fit
in tho dish ; lay on tho drained tomatoes,
season with salt and pepper, cover thickly
with bread crumbs, not with butter, and
strew over a scant teaspoonful of sugar.
In vert a tin pio plato over it, nnd bake for
twenty minutes ; take ttio cover off and
brown.
Good Uso for House Slops. If you
save all tho slops from tho houso, the
wash-water, andsudoof suadrv occasions
during tho week you will find that you
havo a supply of nutriment at hand to
draw ujon "which is far richer than
you have any idea. It will not make a
poor soil permanently rich, but it will
afford Hutlieient nutriment to nourish
such plants as you grow in it during tho
summer in a very satisfactory maimer.
Wo planted some annuals on a stiff cluy

Milot for the Silo. This crop is an ex
ceedingly valuable ono, although, per
haps, because it is easily grown, it is nt
jK)pular. last year a crop of millet was
sown in a four-acro field, that hail been
in pasturo for several years and had been
well manured. The crop ?;rew thickly
and tall nearly six feet botoro the
heads lcgan to appear, ami it was cut be
fore half the heads had emerged from the
sheaths. The four acres yielded twenty
five largo two-horse wagon loads of half
cured foddor, which was put into a small
silo sixteen by twenty and fifteen feet
deep. Tho fod'dor fed eight head of horses
and colts, two yoke of working oxen,
fifteen head of two-and-three-vear old
steers and heifers, fourteen yearlings and
a bull, equal to forty-two head for eleven
weoKS, and tho fodder was eaten greedily
to tho last without any waste. At this
rate ono aero would havo fed one head for
one hundred and fifteen weeks, or more
than two years. Then what letter and
cheaper crop is there than this, which
occupies tho ground only three months,
requires no cultivation and costs for all
eiH'nsea not moro than $4 per acre? But
It needs good soil anil earlier Bowing than
usual.

The controlling features of the business
situation have undergone but little
change since the close of last week, tho
distributive movement of trade having
been satisfactorily maintained, while re
ports from all important interior distrib--uting
centers reflect the same satisfactory
conditions both as to character and ex
tent of the autumn demand. Coffees re
main firm at last quotations. Sugars are
lower all round. The fresh fruit market J
is still firm and active. Fresh vegetables
are still in good receipt and prices are
well maintained. For dairy, produce and
poultry there iB not much to report, last

Wheat is more active and firmer. Flour
and feed is unchanged, the demand con
tinuing good. The local woo! market is
still exceedingly dull. Hops are coining
in moro freely, but tho market is still
without interest.

Ono of tho greatest blessings you
can enjoy is a tondor, honest and en
lightened conscionco.
Fashion has beon clovorly hit off
as "an arbitrary disease which loads aU
geeso to follow in slnglo filo tho ono
goose who sots tho stylo."
Most men aro n willing to toll
their own troubles as thoy aro un
willing to listen to tho troubles wf other
people. Somorvillo Journal.
A woman was recently convicted 1
in New Jeroy for being a scold. If the
law was just it would convict a few
husbands for giving their wife so much
to scold about.
Ono of tho best rules in conversa
tion is, never to say a thing which any
of tho company can reasonably wish,
wo had rather loft unsaid. Nor can
there anything bo well moro contrary
to tho ends for which pooplo moot, to
gether than to part unsatisfied with
each other or themselves. Swift.
Idlenoss Is tho nursory of crlmo.
It is that prolific gorm of which all
rank and poisonous vices aro tho fruits.
It is tho source of tomptatlon. It is
tho field whore "tho onoiny sows taros
while men sloop." Could wo traco tho
history of a largo class of vices wo
should find that they genorally orig
inate from tho want of somo useful em
ployment, and aro brought In to supply i
its place. N. V. Ledgor. I
"Tho droam of to-day. tho battloof
to-morrow, tho victory of tho day
after." Yes, sometimes, often enough
to furnish rational incentive for tho
uttor freedom of spirit In watching
along tho whole hoavons for tho dawn
ing of any now truth. But it depend
a groat deal on tho quality of tlio
droam. A silly thing it would bo to
drop compass and chart, and cut looso
heedlosly, concoltedly, from tho oid
paths, fancying that all "droutns" shall
como out true. Advaneo.
