MY MANAGEMENT. I began my plana m soon aa Oncle Hank's fnoeral was fairly over. Per bapa It might have been a little before. Certain it was that I did not care to go away out west for that ooension and reflected that be would not at. this time fbe able to take umbrage at the sight Tbe very tboogotof bla great barnllie old booee standing In tbe midst of great bleak pastures filled witb ferociooa oat tle and bounded by "wind twisted draws gave me a spell of tbe horrors. How Unole Henry (I ongbt to call him bf that name now be'a dead) ever made anoh a great fortune out there I never oonld nnderstand, ezoept that it was by stock raising. Well, be was gone now, and all of bis thousands oonld oome into civilized nse. -They were all left to my eonsin Charlie, bla only child. Onole Henry bad been a widower for so many years that I cannot picture any time when he could have been nnder a woman's inflnenoe. No need to say that life for Charlie bad been barren of any thing like pleasure unless helping aa cumulate money could be called pleas ure. I believe mankind does oousider it snob, but womankind takes another view af tbe matter. Charlie was a most oomfor table sort of boy, and for bis sake I bad spent some little time every other year in tbe far west in order that tbe boy might have an idea of what woman is like. Now be was in full pos session of that immense fortune, and I must see to it that be bad a future that, should reoompensofor saoh a past. Just 29 be was and not a bad looking fel low after I bad . helped bun into the right sort of clothes. The thing was, of oourse, to marry him to one of my friends and so put the money where we all might have a little comfort from it. If I have one trait of wbicb I am Just ly proud, it is my ability to manage. and I determined that this country oousin of mine ehould marry one of our most attractive girls. " We'll go into tbe country this sum' mar, Alfred," t said to my una nan a. and take a few people for Charlie to meet. Be will be all right In tae oouo try. but I must confess be must serve a full probation before I undertake a town witb bim. I bope I may marry Mm before then." J "To some one' else. I Dresome. Mot t ask whomr'-o ,.v- . "I shall invite Mae HatbereU." Alfred drew a long breath. "Yoa aim high for tbe young galoot.' 4" Well, I would love to bavo Mae fog cousin.! 6 be is the sweetest girl I know No doubt Charlie will think so, too, but Miss Mae is one of the handsomest young ladies in the city, aside from ber music. . JJbe thinks she could go on the stage, if she wanted to, and stagestntck girls are bard to catob." No money could hire Mae to go on the stage," I responded, all. tbe more emphatically because I fear I am not in tne ngnc Of oourse not, since she baa, money enough anyway, but there are other eonsideTatiooa. Any one elsef That pretty little Carroll Chnrch Vnrl M tall, fioh Mum. Rha -srlll have to marry money. anaVCbiaVlie will have a ohaooe, if rtfoesn't fall in love with Mae, wbicb be is certain to do. Will yoa take Alio and Frankr The lost named are an engaged oonple who go with ss everywhere; so, of oourse, that is understood. Now comes tbe question I am expecting from my worthy h us band Will there be any one I oan anloy myself with?" I know well enough whom be wants, and since it is going to be a little more expensive before I am through witb it than be now knows, ana also because I am wise enough to know that only foolish woman will attempt to avoid tbe lady ber busbamjj openly admires, I humor bim and say t - ... i . , "I shall surely ask Coustaooa. "Will as came, do yoa tbinkr' His Interest is lively tnoaga now, I happen to know that abe wants Just such m quiet little time this sum- . She is tired of going places." I'd ask bar right, away before any one else does, if I were you," and I know very wall Alfred won't let the matter rest until it Is settled. - - Constance Merrick was a friend of mine wban I was a girl, but If one bas svery reason to suspect that she iwfueed tbe very mast I raarrtsd ll la not a pleas ant raOectfcn, even after I bare been married to bim nine years and over and she la still free.

I like young (ins who are not so smart, who eooAde 1 me and tell me I ara'lhe dearest littl women on earth, girls like Mae, Alice , and Carroll. . y : i My management is always perfect Therefore we bad just the people I want ed and lust tbe charming little country place. (Charlie helped witb tbe rent) Charlie was indeed qnitr superior to what I bad expected of bim. They con. sidesxM bis loud way of laughing so realistic. His ruddy features were pleasant change from tbe other -young men. He was just bashful enoogh to give bim an IrrerrrWoality. That is, be oonld talk well enough to tho entire lot of ladies, but witb one alone be was tougno tied, and be would rather that Alfred turned Mae's music for ber. Before two, week! passed Mae said to me,' "I think young men from tbe west are far more Interesting than those one meets here. " In the excess of my joy put both bands on her shoulders and looked right into hor eyes. "Do yon really mean that, dear?" and she pushed me away in a playfully vexed manner, but admitted that of oourse she did. My path was clear. I must help that inexperienced youth to draw in the prize be bad booked, It waa two day before I got a chance to do it. I noticed in the meantime that in his bashfulness be dared not attach himself to any of the ladies exoept Oooetanoe. This bad escaped my attention before, but abe oould no doubt draw out tbe best there was in bim and surely she was very. patient with him, allowing bim to usurp Alfred on several occasions, which I felt to be self denial on ber part. - ' "Are yon going to drive to tbevil lage witb Constance?" I balled that worthy on bis way to tbe Btables. "Guess not," be replied shortly. She and Charlie are going ou their wheels. He's gone in now to put on bis suit." Up to Charlie's room I rushed, catob. ing sight of his ooattailaaa I turned tbe stairs. Calling bim to wait a moment I hurried into bis room before he had time to repress me. , , There, now, I have never a obanoe to see you a moment unless I sobeme for it I want to talk to yoa. You (ion1 want to obange your suit anyway. I've something better on band for you this evening than cycling witb Miss Mer rick." - j . . . i . - " ''Couldn't possibly have anything better, ooz," he said, diving into the closet and bringing out bis salt " Yes I have too. Now put those things down and don't hurry ine." "But Miss Merirck will be waiting. "Ob, no, Constance, won't oare. . She would much rather ride witb Alfred, and I have something lovely to tell yon about Mae." ,.. Bother Maet What do I want to know about ber?" Why, Charlie, I am surprised at you." I don't know why yoa should be, when I have an engagement with an other young lady.. I don't core any thing about Mae, anyway. " . , , , You don't?" .... Certainly not if there is a obanoe for spending an hour with Miss Mer rick," and Charlie actually kicked off his. shoes and went into theoloset again after bis tana, - "Cousin Charles," I raid in alarm, "what do yoa mean? Constance Merrick is older than I am, a good ten years older than you." Charlie dropped bis shoes. "This Is the first time I ever beard yon allude to your age in such way. Mate, I supposed yoa were about two years younger than myself. r "You are making fun, of course. She Is, though.", "IT she were one of Noah's daugb ten, I must still say I prefer a bicycle ride In her company to anything that yon may batata up for this evening, and yoa really must excuse me while I get ready." , , "I will not go one step until yoa tell me. Are you in-love with Oonstanos Merrick?" lie bent down and tied bis shoestring and looked np witb blushes enough for a girl and said gently: ' ' "Don't aak so many questions, Mat- tie. " And than be went into tbe closet and shut tbe door. I knew If I didn't want bim to smother In there I must give up and go down stairs again, r lAtte that night I took Alfred to task in words fu)L of meaning: "Why haven't yoa kept Constanoe out of Char lie's way? Tbe young greenhorn Is In love with ber." "Good enough. Suppose it'll make a match?" I cannot bear Alfred when be talks like that - "As If Oonstanee wou)d marry the king and all bis co-mienl" : "I should bope not," ssid that pro voking man, "though I doubt not she sings better in a oborus choir than a duet" - - . There is nothing to do with soob a stupid man bat let bim go to sleep, bat In tbe morning my mind was made np. I would send for Lauranos Kadmora. It waa tbe only way out of tbe difficulty, Mtv-fiadmore was tbe one man that It was thought poasibla Constanoe might marry. The two were jut mads for rach other. Every one realised it He ths grandest looking man lever saw, although his features were post. lively fcgiy, witn that great rtuenat and. sharp gray eyes. It was bla sbovMers and the way be carried bis head that made yoa think be was soma great fanrsosage, aad when yoa listened to bim talk yoa knew at once that bis was a greater intellect than any otber la tbe asssmbly, bo matter of whom It was composed.

But she deter mined to keep Charlie at beok and oalL Yet even for the pleasure of Spiting me she oould not keep to ber resolution and devote ber time to him-Tho fasclna tiod Mr. Badmore possessed for ber waa too great, aud be had not been there two days till I saw with delight that Charlie Was left to bis own devioea. ; The dear boy was .not very good no- tared over it He suspected my tnaneu ver and at once turned to Alfred for sympathy. I suppose tbey bad a mutual cause against Mr. Badmore, and for that reason they were drawn toward eaob other. At any rate, Charlie refrained from giving me any confidences. Conse quently muoh that I relate from this on is gathered from Alfred's obaerva tion and subsequent oonfldenoes. Alfred is not one of those perfect husbands that for tbe most part belong to widows but, thank fortune, he will sooner or later tell bis wife all matters of inter est that come to bis knowledge. Constance and Mr. Badmore glided easily into their familiar relations, and Charlie showed all bis early bringing up by becoming at once tbe most unlnter esting of farmers. Lauranoe Badmore used to look at him with those quizzical gray eyes aud smile knowingly. One day be said to Constanoe, "It's a pity that country boy bas fallen in love with you." "Indeed yoa oomplhnent me, but your surmise is not correct " Then Mr. Badmore .assumed his lu dioial air and mid, "Yon would not try to tell me that you are not oognlcant of an affair of this nature, with all your experience?" "The boy bas been too bashful to pay attention to any one else, and I have helped him out .1 have not done a bit of mischief. I may have bothered Mae a little, as she wants to marry him to one or tbe other of tbe girls. " , "And you have made that an impos siblllty for bim." , "Well, no, though I fanoy be is not in love witb either of them." "Which he would be bad yon allow. edhim." Mr. Badmore, you are exasperat ing." "No. I am exasperated." "By me?" "Tboo sayest it Tbe boy has the making of a fine fellow, but bis expe rience with yoa will ruin bim." Nonsense. Tbe little attention 1 have shown him will give him an in sight into woman's ways, and 11 will be easier for him to soooeed when be really falls In love." "He will not fall in love again. " "Bash statement He is but 89. VjL "Men never love but onoe." "Yon are Increasing in rashness. Wbo most has loved tbe best oan love again.' " w . That applies only to women. A woman's first love affair paves tbe way for all others. Its only value to ber Is by way of experience and to eentimen tallze over, like ber first ball." " Yoa dare assert that men have but one love?" Only one In wbicb tbey take tb leading rola. In all others tbe woman leads. Thai is, tbey do tbe loving, and men delight In the flattery of being loved. Thai's why men marry." "Do tbey never marry for love?" ''The ustances are rare. Every story turns out that way, but in real life it takes a detective to find such a oasa "And tbe result when tbey dor "You must draw on your most rose colored imagination. " - "Yoa intend I should sooopt this as your candid observation" As tbe truth itself. 1 speak aa a man wbo knows, and I respect your intellect too highly to iry to deceive yon." Well," she mid, rising, with a pretty gesture of sonvlotlon, "I believe I'll marry Charlie, and then I'll know as much about It as yod do." He was on bis feet as if aided by elec tricity. "No, yoa will not," and then be qualified bis statement, "because in ten years yoa will have outgrown bim. He is still in Infancy, while yoa are 81 years wo. "Do yoa know," she smiled sweetly, that jny mother Is 67 years old and a few weeks ago an insurance agont want ed to write ber a policy at ?" "And yoa expect to discount your age SB years likewise?" Not just yet but I never mean to be any older than I wish, and a love such aa yoa nave fainted al ought to prove an elixir of youth."

I know a lady who batched and raised 25 tnrkeys without the loas of one until tbey were grown, and she simply sup plied tbeir food from the table, giving lettuce and onions as green food, and buttermilk or sweet milk was used in mixing feed. . I do not know what I shall do for wheat this year. It will be pretty bard to pay 1 a bushel for wheat but the turkeys must be fed, so I shall only try to raise a small flock at home. I will not have to buy a great dool until tbe new crop comes on, and if we do not raise It we oan buy it cheap. I like a little wbolo wheat put in the feed from tbe first Tbe poult do not got it at first but the old mother does, and by the time they are old enough to eat it tbey will bave learned how. It is very bard to got young turkeys to change their habits of eating. If yoa commence feeding them in a plate, it is bard .to change to a pan or on tbe ground. Tbo some holds true of tbe diet Whatever they learn to eat at first Is wbat they want nntil they are grown. I ase cracked corn fed raw is highly recommended for young turkeys after tbey are a few weeks old. The great trouble Is In feeding too much. If thoy are fed only a little while, when very young, still not allowed to get hungry, it will save much trouble. If the feed -could be scattered and tbe turkeys allowed to bunt for it It would be muoh better for tbem. Do not let tbe poults get wot I am trying to plan a way to bave tbe roost on a dirt floor, yet not on damp earth. think the dampness of tbe ground gives them rheumatism, or makes tbem delicate, but tbe ben mashes the poult on a plank floor.

A Gasoline Blast Usefal When Soalss 2 Aft svtrsl Layers Thlek, During tbe season of 1887 an appa ratus was devised at the Michigan ex periment station for burning scale In sects on the tree. An ordlifory gasoline blast lamp or soldering torch, such a ia used by plumbers, was fitted witb five parallel burners so arranged that a broad sheet of flame about ten inches wide could be directed on the tree. A torch of this sort was made for Professor Barrows In the fall of 1897, and daring the winter several test were made. Of these it Is reported i When tho flame I passed over the body of a scale coated tree, tbe scales instantly change color, and many drop off. ' If rubbed, the scale I seen to bo -loosened and on examination witb a lens shews minnto lines resembling cracks running in all directions over tbe surface. Now, the trunk and larger limbs of trees are often covered several layers deep witb the sea tea, and in such cases this method of treatment seems useful. It destroys most of tbe insects and so loosens the mass (bat it is possible aft erward to penotrato to tbe bottom with a spray. The heat produced by this lamp is very Intense, and groat care must be ob served not to allow the flame to remain at any one point long enough to Injure the tree. In tho experiments tried tbe best results were obtained when the flame was steadily moved so that it cov ered a spooe of a yard in length In from five to ten seconds. The trials' were made on peach and pear tree badly af' footed witb tbo Hun Jose scale and dur ing tbe winter months, while tbe trees were dormant Tbe results seemed to show that the blast will kill the soale Insects with little or no injury to tbe tree. Tbe trees were scorched In places where the flame bad moved too slowly, and tbe care necessary to avoid tbe seorohlng appears to bo I be most serious drawback to tbe nse of the blast lamp.
