INTERRUPTED.
At about 9 in tho evening a man turned
the corner of Madison avomio find Sixty-
third street, walked slowly along the
block, then pausing glanced at a row of
handsomo houses which stood in their
lameness, dark and stalely, selected the
third, mounted tho high steps and au-1
thoritatively rang the bell.
It was early spring, tho air was soft,
the night still, and tho sharp clang echoed
for a moment before tho door was opened i
by a trim wailing maid. Tho moonlight I
revealed to this maid a boyish looking f

"No."
"Sick?"
"No."
"What then?'
"Bored; so bored."
"Why not have gone to the opera?"
"I havo heard 'Lohengrin' until I
hate it."
"Gertrude," tenderly, "you are not
unhappy? You love me?"
"Yes," indifferently.
"Then what troubles you?"
"Nothing. Everything is so tedious.
I am weary of people, weary of clothes,
weary of myself."
"And wearv of me?"
His wife did not answer, perhaps did
not hear.
Mr. Courtland pondered intently , look
ing at her curiously as she unwound a
long scurf from her throat. Suddenly he
crossed the room, und taking up the gray
coat put his hand into one of the pockets.
"Where is that letter?"
"What letter?" asked his wife, startled
by the sharp tone of his voice.
"Tho letter I left in tho pocket of this
coat."
The man behind the portieres started.
"I saw no letter," replied Mrs. Court-

that the peculiar flavors which charac
torizB different kinds or brands of tobac
co are due to the presence of bacteria?
Yet that is the conclusion to which m
tiVarinns bv a German botanist lead.
In curing tobacco, or preparing the
raw, green leaf for use, a fermentative
process called sweating is gone through
It has been supposed that the chemical
changes induced by this process were the
source of the peculiar qualities possessed
by the cured tobacco. But, according to
Suchsland s experiments, it, appears uu
micro-organisms may be the real cause
of the changes.
Tin has examined tobacco from all
parts of the world which had been cured
and haB found in it an abundance of micro-organisms,
and upon cultivating the
bacteria from a particular kind of tobac
co and then inoculating another kind
with this culture he has produced in it
the taste and aroma of the original.
This discovery has led to the sugges
tion that the quality of tobacco grown
in any country may be improved by sim
ply inoculating it witn uactena irom
some finer flavored leaf growing else
where. Wines have already been im
proved by a similar process. Youth's

Trouble With a Sword.
A Lewiston young man who was in
Portland Saturday night found some
antinue Turkish swords in a window
on Congress street, and having a love
for art bought one for ornamental
purposes and asked that tho clerk do it
up in paper. Before he had gone half a
block the paper came off. The young
man was waiting for the Boston boat to
itart. He carried the sword about the
streets till people began to comment
upon it. Then ho hid it under his ulster
and was standing on the corner talking
when it slipped down, striking on his toe
with the sharp point. He picked it up
again and hid it under his coat.
When he got into tne tneater, ne was
about to be seated when ho thought of
the sword under his coat. He could not
sit down until that sword came out, so
unbuttoning the coat he helt the sword
in his lap all the evening. At midnight
when he went on board the boat one of
tho officers saw the sword and said, "You
may leave your valuables with the purs
er." Bangor Commercial.

Undomocratlc France.
As a matter of fact Frenchmen are
about the least democratic people in the
world in their social longings and ideals.
France is politically a republic, but so
cially it keeps up most of the character
istics of an aristocracy. The difference
between her and America in this respect
is prodigious. In the United States it is
impossible to find a man with a decora
tion; in France it is difficult to find any
body without one. In spite of the revo
lution titles are still maintained, and tho
highest ambition of every bourgeois
would be satisfied if he could marry his
daughter to a nobleman. The insatiable
thirst to put on a uniform of some kind,
no matter what, has often been used as
a reproach against our Gallic friends.--London
Telegraph.

was answered by an engaging one
tho young man,
"Is Mrs. Courtland at home?"
"No, sir."
"Mr. Courtland?"
''No, sir. They are at tho theater."
An expression of disappointment cross
ed tho youth's face, and ho hesitated lis
If puzzled.
"Won't you stop in?"
After an instant's puuso tho man did
bo, threw a comprehensive glance about
him and said, "I promised to deliver
this plant to Mrs. Courthind herself,
but it's a long way up, and I believe I'll
leave it."
Ho had ono of thoso pathetic voices in
which thero is an unconscious appeal,
and this, together with his frank blue
eye and pleasant manner, created sym
pathy for his disappointment in tho
maid's heart. So she received tho plant
carefully from him and was about to
placo it on a hall chair when tho 1111111
gently interposed, "Kxcuso me; I'd rath
er you'd put it in a safer place."
"Surely," and as the plant was heavy
the maid went slowly down tho long
hall, turning her back completely. The
man dropped a card on the chair, pushed
the door to with a loud slam, and with
astonishing agility and lightness sprang
tip tho staircase, disappearing before her
return.
"Well, he might ha' waited," she mut
tered, throwing tho card into tho silver
alver, and tho man, who paused in the
hall above, heard her descend into the
bascineut.
Ho smiled, listened, stepped into the
dimly lighted library, passed through
two dressing rooms into tho bedroom
beyond, turned up tho gas slightly, and
with a lightning glance took in the apart
ment and its appointment. As ho hud
calculated, tho room was prepared for
tho night, so ho ran little chance of
being disturbed.
He touched nothing until ho caught
light of a gray coat thrown carelessly
over a chair. This ho seized, thrust his
band into tho insido pocket and drew
forth with evident satisfaetion a letter,
which, hastily examining, bo kept. Ho
then replaced tho coat with precision,
lowered tho light, listened intently and
prepared to descend, when the click of a
night key was heard ill the lock.
The owners of tho house had returned.

TILLAGE BAD AXD GOOD.
With a good depth of reservoir on soili
with porous subsoil, and consequently
with a free movement of the soil water,
down in winter and up in summer, and
the economical use of soil moisture by
the prevention of excessive evaporation,
a continuous sutmiy ol moisture can be
secured to the roots even in a dry season.
The upward movement of the soil water
by capillary actioi to oe tree requu
compact but porous soil. In freshly stir
red soil the interstices are too large for
such action, and here the upward move
ment comes to a stop In explanation of
the foregoing is here reproduced a com
munication from T. Greiner to Country
Gentleman, in which he says:
1 had a piece of tough sod, clay loam,
which was to be planted to onions and
potatoes. My man plowed it in lap style,
as shown in Fig. 1. Owing tocontinuoiis
spring rains all our soils worked badly
during the early part of the season, and
it was impossible to break up and fine
them. After much work with disk and
smoothing harrow tho man got the sur
face of the piece in pretty good shape, but
the tough sods were not broken, and
hollow spaces were left between subsoil
and top soil, as shown in v lg. a.
1 have seldom seen a piece of apparent
ly well tilled soil that was so quickly
affected by dry weather as this. All
during the season it became completely
dried out in a few days of dry weather
after every rain. The explanation i
simple enough. Capillary action was
largely interrupted at the surface of the
subsoil, as may be seen in Fig. 2, and the
onrfncB soil received but little assistance
from the soil water beneath. When the
shown in Fig. 8, and
the soil compacted bo that the surface i
soil rests closely and firmly upon the sub
soil, the soil water movement is not inter
rupted. The moisture comes up into the
surface soil, as shown in Fig. 4, and pro
vides a continuous supply for the roots
of our crops.
Evaporation at the surface, however,
would pump up this moisture from be
low pretty fast, and during a prolonged
drought perhaps exhaust the supply in
the reservoir if capillary action is not
interrupted a few inches below the sur
face by thorough pulverization of the up
per crust. The fine loose soil over the
compacted layer acts as a mulch. The
water from below can pass turongn una
soil mulch to the surface only in the
form of vapor, and evaporation under
cover in the cool and moist surroundings
as found on the line between the com
pacted layer and the pulverized soil must
be very slow

lleea and Fruit.
At the recent meeting of California
beekeepers the much vexed question of
bees and fruit came up for discussion.
The ground was taken that bees will not
puncture fruit, but will clean it up thor
oughly when it is previously punctured
by birds or wasps. Tho question of hives
was also considered, and preference was
for a large hive for extracted honey,
while a hive with a small brood chamber
was desired for comb honey.

POTATO PLANT UNDER GOOD CULTIVATION.
But little evaporation takes place from
the pulverized soil for the simple reason
that the capillary action is interrupted
and the soil water does not reach beyond
the compacted part below the two or
three inches of mellow soil on top. 'ihus
the supply in the soil reservoirs is drawn
on more moderately and will last much
longer. All this is mado plain in Fig. 5,
which represents a potato plant under
good cultivation. The pulverized top
soil is the mulch that prevents the ex
cessive loss of soil moisture by evapo
ration. The little that does escape is
quickly replaced from the reserves from

A Negro "Woman's YVondjerful Hair,
Hearing the statement made in Holly
Springs that a remarkable negro woman
freak lived only a few miles from this
town, your correspondent determined to
obtain the facts in the case.
A middle aged negress greeted the visit
or. The woman is quite dark, of a pro
nounced African type of physiognomy
5 feet 8 inches tall, and in fair health, but
has never had any children. She wore a
white cotton turban tied about her head
and tucked in at the back to support the
immense weight of her hair. This she re
moved and laid upon the table and un
wound the braids of her wonderful hair,
which went many times around her head
and dropped upon the floor.
It was indeed an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as a man's arm
close to the head, but tapering to the
thickness of a finger at the ends, closely
plaited and measuring 8 feet 0 inches,
braided as it is, in length. It looks a
good deal like Spanish moss, but is dark
er, crinkled and grizzled, coarse and al
most repulsive to the touch, suggesting
ghastly stories of the abnormal growth
of hair after death. Mississippi Cor.
