Hnlda stopped her work and looked over her glasses. Jane smiled and nod ded her head toward . the yonng girl seated by the table. - The tall clock that stood on the wind ing staircase at tbe end of the long drawing room struck 1. The three start ed and looked around, and the girl threw down her book and sprang to her feet, langbing. , ' 'Old Father Time has come to life," she said. "He objects to oar being so quiet. Corner Aunt Hnlda; let as do something to celebrate Aunt Jane's birthday. Aunt Jane, what shall we do to celebrate Aunt Hnlda's birthday?". J The eyes of the two elder ladies were still fixed on tbe clock, and they made no answer. Tbe girl came and stood on the hearth' rag, -and, stooping, took Jape's faoa between bar small, plump bands and kissed ber.. Then, catohiug np the afgbau, sbo ran down the room and np the stair and threw it over the face of the clock. The sisters lnnghed merrily.' . , .y "'That was tbe hoar we two came into the world," said Hnlda. "Yon can't say bqt it was rather startling to have tbe old clock ring out that hoar. It hasn't made a move to my knowledge sinoe you went away, Amy." 'Oh, well, it lust- Happened, A ant Hnlda,' Amy answered, with the hap py oarelessnoss of youth. "Besides, it isn't 1 o'clock now.

"Yon pretended to be sitting up there doing ' nothing all these years, but you'va proved tonight that you're up to your old tricks, running away With tbe years. Tbe sisters laughed again. "You used to stand and talk to that clock when yoa didn't come np to the drops of tbe weights, Amy." said Hulda. - . , We'vtr a long account to settle, Amy auswered, shaking ber bead.- "To oome home and find : yoa both go 'qalet and oomplaiiiing of growing old, when we used to nave soch good times.

"What plays?" asked Amy eagerly. "Yes, I'm sure that would amuse her, " said Hulda. "I hope yoa don't think, Amy, that we are women who settle down and spend all our time and mind on our work?" .:; . The two left tbe room, and Amy was presently surprised by their returning dressed in costume. With the first lines he knew tbey were dressed to represent Portia and Nerissa. With surprising ability in lecltatiou and Roflon they went throngb the well known scene from the "Merchant of Venice." Tbey could not have bod a more ap preciative audience. . ' : " Amy recalled them again and agjlia with a storm of applause. The two little ladies had used the years of tboir solitude and leisure in learning from beginning to end a num. ber of the plays of Shakespeare and for amusement bad bonght several chests of costumes and before tbe long mirrors in the drawing room had acted many parts together When tbey again appeared to Amy from an inner room, they were In the costumes of 'Rosalind and Cella in tbo forest Of Arden. So perfect was tboir presentation of this part that it certain ly entered the borderland of art. - "Bravo I" cried Amy in great exoite ment. "We'll not go to Washington. We'll have Wauhington come to aa We'll send a lot of invitations and have the gayest home' party that was ever known in the country." To this plan Hnlda and Jane gave slowconsent A month later every guest chamber in tbe fine old- country house was occu pied. The news, of his sister's wonder ful accomplishments drew the beloved brother in Washington to tbe home he -had not visited for 80 years. 1 , They: were mostly,' the brother's triendsfnnd Amy's, who made tbe plaoe gay with laughter and song. Bnt one room was reserved for. a guest whom Hulda and Jane had spe cially invited. It was late one evening after all tbe others had retired that be arrived.' Amy was greatly amused and surprised 'the next morning when she met on tbo stair one of the nearest neighbors on old gentleman who lived jasi across the country road. " "Why, Mr. Weston," she exclaimed. "Are you the gnest of honor?" , He was a. tall, handsome man, with a most dignified bearing; "I've always been an honored gnest in this bouse," he replied, holding out bis hand. "The girls thought I couldn't really be ono of the party unless I closed my bouse and came over bag and bog gqge. Now, if yoa don't mind, Amy, just keeping it to yourself, let tbem think I'm a dignitary from some remote quarter of tbe globe, and tbey will ap preciate me, bnt if tbey know I'm John Weston, who lives across tbe road, I'll figure for a simpleton. " : "No, indeed, you wouldn't " Amy laughed. "You'll bo the lifo of the party. I hoped you'd come over every day, as yoa always do, but it will be so much nicer to have yoa in the bouse." Half an hour later, when tbe merry party had gathered at tbo breakfast ta. ble, the guest of honor was presented. No one bad ever a truer gift of conver sation than John Weston. He naturally assumed the position of his long friend. ship with the family, and it was noticed that Hnlda and Jane deferred to him in all things, as though they were used to depending oh bis judgment ; ' The following day it waa rumored that the sisters intended giving the bal cony scene from "Borneo and Juliot" in their first appearance before their g nests. Amy bad been ont sleighing all the afternoon With a nam ber of tbe yoang people and bad not known that her aunts intended representing those ju venile lovers. Tbe drawing room was being aet in readiness for tbe amuse ment when tbe party returned. John Weston, acting as stage archi tect was banging a painted acreen against the winding staircase. ' "I'll have to run over home and get my screen with the woodbine," he was saying to tbe man who. was assisting him,; - ; - " :- f ' ". .: There waa a burst of merry laughter in the doorway. i'Qb, Mr. Weston, what are you do ing?" Amy exclaimed, running for ward. "Aunt Jans' and Aunt Hulda sorely can't act Romeo and Juliot " "Can't tbey? Wait till 70a tee them try it Yod beard me say that I live across tbe road, didn't yoa?" be added. smiling at tbe young people who bad followed Amy into, the room. ''Well. wa need both houses to elrclo round in any way. - - - , With a girl on each arm John Weston presently , went down the anowbeaten path and across the road to bia own gome among tbe evergreens. "I asked Amy who. lived ber the other day, " said one of .tha girls, "and aba said, 'An old gentleman, who spent all nis time with his books.' I've been to interested wondering what yon were like. What made yon keep it secret that yon lived nerer Oh, last for sport I didn't really expect to be able to keep it all through tbDontn." eat Ibis is soon a Daanttrai boron.

' " Tbo Boosts out bered in tbe lona draw Ing room that evening 'were prepared for nothing more than amusing melo drama. , What could Jane know of Jn tiet's supreme surrender of love? How could a little old lady of 60 be other wise than amosing aa the ardent young Montague? ... The room was bat faintly lighted when from oat the garden thicket young Borneo stopped. Bia first words held bis listeners' best attention, "He Jests at soars who never felt a wound.". If Jane and Hulda Wainwrigbt had employed their years in earnest efforts to win the attention of an admiring publio, tbey could not have succeeded more completely than tbey bad In prt rate study tor tbeir own pleasure and improvement The old bouse rang with applause as tbe scene came to an end. This was the beginning of a eerie of entertainments. Sorely a month like this bad never been si.ent In tbe conn try I The sleighing was- perfect The wind had swept the river bore for miles.' Every morning party of skaters wero seen gliding in aud out between : the wooded banks. j ,t- Jobn Weston was the loader of the outdoor snorts. Skatinff was t Dastlui that he had clung to with tbe entbusi asm of bis boyhood. It was good to seo tbe hale old gentleman in his fur trim med coat and oapglidingon before with an ease of motion that only years of river skating can perfect. .., The mystery of untold love tbat ho vered about him mado him of continual interest to the young people. Tbe girl wbo had dared to question him wove many pretty little romances, in which Jane and Hulda alternately appeared as heroines. Sbe watched the sisters close ly, hoping to read tbe secret in one their faees, bnt tbe brown eyes of each wore the some gentle confidence when ever they spoke with their friend. One evening, when tbe moon was full, several of tbe party had gone down the river to Skate for an hour or two. The later hoars were to be spent in dancing, and the drawing room was be ing pat lu readiness. While tbey were buckling on their skates Amy proposed a race.. I'll raco the party," said John Weston. "Age against youth. If one roaches the bridge before me, I'll pay any forfeit he may ask. " Tbey rounded the wooded point and were off for a clear half mile to the bridge. After tbe first few minutes tbo competition rested between two. Amy and John Weston were speeding on together. ' Shouting and cheers fol lowed tbem. Tbe whito arch of the stone bridge was bnt a few rods ahead. Now Amy was in advance, waving her muff above ber head. A moment later tbey had reached the bridge and were testing in tbe shadow. Well, little girl what is my for feit to be?" John Weston asked, laugh ing. "Oh" sniri Amv. hrMthina hard. "whom do yoa love best, lb. all this world?" "Thallanf!!-.'' ' "Yea, Ills' she laughed. "If 70a bad won, I should bare paid any for feit you asked. " - ' ;; " wnen yon are as old as 1 am, yoa will not make-a jest of love. I'll pay my forfeit but I'm disappointed in you, Amy." He leaned forward and whispered tha name in her ear, then tamed about and skated under tbe arch of the bridga The poor little victor flew after him. .. ' "Oh, forgive me," sbe cried, cling ing to bis arm. "It was all in fan. 1 didn't expect yoa to tell me. " ' Ho fat bis arm siouud beg. as tbey still slutted on, bnt made no reply. Aft er a few momenta they were overtaken by tbe rest of tbe party, and all, joining bands, skated back up the river. ' When, tbe bouse waa reached, the Utanejug bad already begun. Amy stood at one sido. with John Weston's ooufl donee heavy at her heart, watching ber aunts in tbeir pretty lilac silks as tbey glided by ber, Tbey seemed mora alike to her than ever before, but aha knew even better than John Weston bow an like they wem . -v,-'- h Sbe knew, too, how Inseparable waa tbeir love for each other. It was like reading glory unfinished and very aad. gbe thought , -1 Bat afterward, in thinking about tbe near friendship tbe three enjoyed and their Ufa of study and close interest, it did not aaetn so gad after all. - Before another year bad passed the names of Jane and Holds Wainwrigbt were widely known, and their heme came to be in time a Mecca to all artists and students of Hbakerprare.

Brown, writing' in The, Country Gentleman, says: I make all my poultry houses long and narrow and ' running east and west, for the poultry j house is especially for winter use,- and we want large windows on the south to admit, as much suushiao as possible. Ten feet by 94 or 96 is a good size for a colony of 60 hens, and' if there is a yard to let them out into for exercise or they can have the run of the barnyard in pleasant weather 70 hens oan be kept healthy in a house of this size, as I have j proved in several cases. I prefer to moke ( these houses with the root sloping but . one way, and if the bouse is built inde r pendent of the other buildings the roof , snoum siope to tne nonn, so as 10 nave tbe high aide of the sun, bnt often tbe building can be located at the south end of a barn, thus saving lumber and secur ing a warm location. '. I, have two built, in this way: There is no need of a high building for the laying hens, and we use posts six feet high at the lowest side and trine or ton feet at the highest side, aoas to give sufficient slope to the roof. "' : The walls should be lined with build ing paper, to make it warm, and tho windows welt fitted. ' Our engraving shows the interior arrangement of the building. I like the plan of patting tho roosts high apd a sloping floor under them to catch the droppings, as it makes, it easier to clean and the bens like a high roost This sloping floor serves as a ladder for the hcus to get np to their roosts by nailing small cleats to the boards at each aide. It also enables us to utilized the room under the roosts, and we use it for a dust bath in winter when the bens are shut In, and in the summer we use it to set eight or ten hens at s time, or when nott needed tot this to shut up broody hens. ; ' . The nest boxes are located at the aids opposite the windows, snd a small seo- CONVEK1BHT ClllCKEK HOUSE. 1 Jion of them shows in tbe engraving. Our boxes are all made movablo aud mo slid into the spaces mode for them. Tbeso spaoos aro not floored, bnt havo inch cleats nailed at the sides for tbo boxes to rest on, as a floor would mako s breeding place for Hoe. It is an ad vantage to be able to carry the boxes outdoors when the bouse must be oloan ed, and as we do not allow tbe hens to sit In these booses we want to put tbo eggs under them odd carry box and ben together to tho new place, as the ben can be moved in this way with less risk of her leaving the nest than if sbo is oarrlod without the box. The loss of young chicks is very great on most farms, amounting to one half or more of all that are hatched, and nine-tenths of this loss is clearly pre ventable Tbe causes of loss are ninny, aa, for example, gapes, drowning or chill ing In wet dows aud rain, the depreda tions of rats, hawks, skunks and other prowlers, and then the giving of im proper food or failing to furnish grit and to keep tbe coops clean. Nearly all these losses are preventable by furnish ing a suitable place to keep tho chicks for tbe first five or six weeks, and then, if they must bo moved, have safo house to put tbem in. I have found thai young chickens do very much better on floor raised considerably above tbo ground, and I now make all my coops snd tbe booses to put tbe chickens in at weaning time with s floor raised so high above the ground as to give a free circulation of air under tbem, so that tbey will not be damp, and there is no place for rata or other enemies to And shelter. . .- Eggs Froes Fat Baas, All tha experiments show that eggs from very fat bens will not batch well. This is not always because tbo eggs aro not fertile, for very often the process of batching will be started all right but the embryo will die sooner or later, sometimes as early as the third day and at others not until fully formed and ready to leave tho ahelL The lack of. vitality in tbe eggs from a flock of very fat hens Is noduuLtdue to lack of vigor in the ben, which is transmitted to th embryo in the shell. Farmers' Review. ' Base Sieeegli Masts, l is not nnt i 117 to bnve' aa many nests in the henhouse as there are hcus, bnt It la better to have too many than nut enough, and three nests are not too many for four or five bens. If there are than this, several will toy in one nest, and often in tbe strugglo fur two or three to get in It at one time eggs ill be broken, not only causing the loss of the broken ones, bat daubing the others, and perhaps teaching tbe bens to aat tbeir egg and the greater loss. .

When I put op corn by hand, I always use a jack like that seen in Fig. 1.

Set np font armloads in the four recesses of the jack made by the pin running through at a, b, 0 and d. . When tbe shock Is half ot two-thirds made, remove tbe jack by withdrawing tbe pin and finish it with out Tie tbe shock when done by means of oontrivanoa shown in Fig. 9, eont I posed ofa pole, five , or . six feet long with rope put through an auger bole in the pole.- This is thrust through tbe shock two-thirds of the way up, and the rope drawn around the shook at tight as it can be drawn and made fast to the pole fchlle tbe shock is being- tied, A shock made in this manner and prop erly tied will stand a long time an j will stand well. If tbe 00m is to be busked oat before it is fed to stock, a husking bench, shown in the second cut Will be convenient This is carried np alongside of a shock which Is tipped over on the bench. The busker seats himself on tbe seat and begins word ing tbe stover toward him, and when be gets a bundle of convenient size It is 1 bound snd laid aside, and so on until sll is basked. This prevents missing sny, and it is far more convenient to sit than to kneel down in tbe mad or mow, ,. , In hauling In the bundles I have, found it very convenient to load from tbe rear part of tbe wagon by walking op running board, which bangs on tbe rear of the rack and Is dragged along to the next shock all tbe time.
