J llSPfX ISS VARINA was about to aet aside 'the large square uox the postman bad lust , handad her with the mental decision that, of course, It was for Laurel, when she caught sight of the oupersenpuon, written In a bold mas culine hand, "Miss Varina-Enineton "It's It's for mr gasped Miss Vari na. "A real valentine for me! .Miss Varina hod seen her thirty-fifth summer and not unkindly winter. But k was many a year since she had re ceived a valentine. The last she could remember receiving was sent when she was nineteen and used to go to singing Bcnooi with Ambrose Mead. She and Ambrose bad not been formally en gaged, but they had understood each other, and It had been taken for erant ed by both that when the new bouse on the half section was finished It would be as Mrs. Ambrose Mead that varlna Ellington would enter the same, But, alas, a pretty city girl came to visit In the neighborhood, and where Is the country youth who can resist the dazzling charms of a city girl when she tfppears, starlike. In the monotony of his rural solitude? Ambrose was at tentive to Miss Thyra Morse. Varlna Imperiously protested. A lover's quar rel followed, and the city girl went Into the new house as Mrs. Ambrose "it's it's fob iaf Meed. An Indifferent housekeeper and an unsympathetic wlf she proved to be. She was dead these five years now, and Ambrose, whose farm joined Miss Varlna 'g own, had been getting along as best he could with such house keepers as he could hire. - Miss Varinn's thoughts now flew over all the town men she knew who might hare sent her this valentine. f No," she .decided aa ber trembling fingers fumbled with the string. "There ain't one of them that thinks . of me," ; She held up the box and rapturous ly contemplated the glowing object be fore ber. - A eottage covered with pink roses overhung a blue satin lake.

"Well, all I can say," averred Laurel In a voice of brisk finality, "Is that be has evidently kept you In his heart all this time. . And don't be too hard on the poor fellow, Aunt Varina!"

He took patns with everything be did nnd showed off bis clothes to advantage. There have been some interesting de tails of late given of what be wore from 1783 to 1703. Tbe general writes himself la ordering his clothes, Tlaln clothes with a geld or silver button if won In genteel dress are all I desire." He imported bis best clothes from Eng land, bnt on ordinary occasions wore native homespun when out of uniform. For receptions ho bad a black velvet eoat and breeches; the coat a long cut away, square at toe ends, having a small standing collar. There were ten breast buttons of silver or open work steel on the right breast, with blind buttonholes four inches long made of black silk braid on the opposite side. The coat bad pocket flaps treated in the same way; also cuffs, which were five Inches deep. There were two hip buttons at tbe back. This garment was very long walsted, and the top of the pocket flaps and hip buttons were on a line with tbe lowest of the breast buttons. It was lined with white satin, accompanied by black velvet breeches, with small buttons and knee buckles; tbe waistcoat of white or pearl colored satin, with a small stand ing collar and Indented pocket flaps; a fine muslin shirt, with standing ruffles, repeated at tbe wrists, and tbe stock of tbe period; white silk stockings; low cut shoes, with large silver buc kles. A dress sword, with silver hilt. suspended by a chain from a belt worn under the waistcoat and a linen stock completed the costume. He wore a bag wig, but not powder. Qoat Mutten. "When you get a leg of mutton and find on trying to cook It that It seems likely never to get done, it's goat," aays a local housekeeper. The only 'way of distinguishing kid from lamb or goat from mutton Is that the goat flesh requires longer to cook and even when thoroughly done has a reddish appearance as though H were slightly rare. When properly prepared goat flesh Is jnst as tender, just as nu tritious as mutton and has exactly the same flavor. There la a prejudice against It, which, however, Is entirely HI fouoA d. and it Is likely enough that this feeling Is due more to the comic artists than to anybody else. In a comic picture representing tbe goat tbe old Billy is usually shown munching a tomato can or a straw bat or a lot of clothes stolen from tbe line, but as a fact . the goat Is jnst - as particular about his food as the sheep, eats about tbe same kind and In spite of the comic artist In about tbe same quantity. Tbe animal Is just as cleanly as the sheep, and tbe only reason why the butebcra do not openly avow their sales of goat meat Is on account of the unfounded prejudice against It. It Is sold under tbe name of mutton." Exchange. Sci.no For Its Own Sake. A prominent feature In Faraday's character was bis absolute love of cel. ence for Its own sake.. lie freely gave bis discoveries to bis world when he could easily have built np a colossal fortune npen them. lie once told his friend, Profeasor Tyndali. that at certain period of bis career be bud definitely to ask himself whether he s boo Id make wealth or ecienre tbe ob ject of bis life.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE ROBINS There Is not a northern state but baa laws for the protection of useful birds. chief among which is tbe robin, for which a remarkably strong attachment has been formed aa one of xprliiR's first harbingers and as tbe best bird friend of the farmer, orcbardlst nnd gardener. Until lately the redbreast bus met an entirely different reception during bis winter sojourn In tbe south, where be has been prized chiefly as a tender morsel for stew or pie nnd where myriads of tbe pretty fellows have been killed annually. Northern readers will be interested in learning that tn central Tennessee are large tracts of cedar, the berries of which are highly prized by the robins as a winter food. Oue small town in this district bas sent to market annually 120,000 birds, which netted $500, or a paltry pittance of 5 cents per dozen. Tbey are caught at nlgbt In their roosting places in the young cedars, whither their inhuman butchers proceed with torches and knock them down wltb club or climb tbe trees and kill them as tbey fly In. An officer of tbe Louisiana Audubon society is authority for the statement that previous to last winter, when a law waa passed for tbe protection of tbe robins, tbe annual slaughter of this bird in that state ranged from a quar ter of a million to a million. In other states and sections of the south a score of 800 robins a day for a single pot hunter bas not been 'an uncommon thing. In view of data of tbe above character It would seem that Secretary Wilson of tbe department of agricul ture might bring to tbe attention of congress most emphatically tbe practi cal necessity of protecting tbe robin as an Interstate bird, and this from thi dollars and cents standpoint and not from tbe : aesthetic or humanitarian. Every robin that Is killed means a lose In money to tbe farmer and gardener, ana this tact should be given more general recognition. SWEDISH. SELECT OATS. A tew weeks ago there appeared in these columns a paragraph giving some description of a new variety of oats known - aa tbe Degenerated Swedish Select, recently introduced by an Eng lish seed firm .and for which strong claims are being made, and that by farmers who have grown them In some of tbe northern states. With view to securing a somewhat more authoritative and perhaps more disin terested opinion touching tho variety mentioned, Inquiry was made of Pro fessor M. L. Bowman, In charge of the farm crops section of tbe Iowa ex periment station at Ames, who wrote that tbe experience wltb tbe Swedish Select oata on tbe station farm for the past year waa not aU that could be desired, though be wsa not sure that tbe unsatisfactory results were not In part due to tbe fact that tbe season wsa unfavorable for oata of any variety. In view ef this rather unfavorable report. tho writer womld repeat here la rub stance aggeetlon which hag been given by letter to several laquirers that those wishing to try tbe new oata would do well to make tbe test on a man scale, with a bushel or so of seed, with a view of learning tbeir adaptability to weather and soil condi tions which may prevail la one's own locality. If tbey should not pan oat, tbe experiment would cost bnt little, while If tbey eemed to possses exceptional merit enough seed would be raised ao that tbey could be sown on a larger cele the following year. There la no uueetiun that many farmers would realise a larger financial return If tbey raised a type of oata which were more vigorous and prolific, but It does not gears to be fully determined aa yet that the Swedlah Select In Its present stsgs of acclimatisation to beat suited for tha accomplishment of this end. -!

Clore of Indiana, who carried off sweepstake prizes at tbe national corn bow at Omaha on best ten ears and best bushel of corn, owns a farm of about fifty acres and not a half sec tion. He baa probably come to the conclusion, to whlcb some others come sooner or later, that a fellow can't spread himself or bis operations over all creation and amount to much in any one spot Tbe total value of tbe agricultural products in the United States for the year just closed is placed at close to $8,000,000,000, of which grand total $1,750,000,000 was raised in tbe corn fields of tbe country. It is not surpris ing In the face of sucb figures that nam times cannot stay for long or that the export trade of tbe country is far in excess of tbe import. Tbe pro duction of this enormous volume of new wealth directly from tbe sol! means a national prosperity in which very citizen will share. Those In charge of tbe farm crops section of tbe Wisconsin experiment station feel justly proud of tbe show lng which they have made in tbe past five years In the matter of developing tbe Oderbrncker type of barley. In the Interval mentioned tbey have been able to Increase tbe yield of this vari ety nearly ten bushels per acre. A teat bowa that the new barley contains 15 per cent of protein, which not only meana that It to tbe best grain for malt, bnt for feed aa wen. Bo well baa tbe new barley been advertised and ao effectively baa It been introduced that the past year It comprised one-third of all the barley grown In tbe itate. Its remarkable vigor and productivity are shown In a yield of sixty bushels to tbe acre on one of tbe station fields of flfty-flve acres, and this not an experi mental plot. Wena tehee (Wash.) apple growers are feeling pretty good over tbe re sults of tbe national apple show held recently at. Spokane, In which tbey carried off better than 75 per cent of tbe prizes. Among tbe prizes were one of $1,000 paid by tbe National Apple Growors' association for tbe best car of apples, a number of minor prizes, ranging from $29 to $500. and first prize for tbe largest perfect apple, which weighed thirty-one ounces. One of the finest displays of apples at tbe recent horticultural congress st Coun cil Bluffs, Ia.. was exhibited by the Wenatcbee Fruit Growers' associa tion, the size and beauty of tbe fruit being almost beyond description. Tbe Wenatcbee people seem to be excep tionally well situated for fruit raising and from appearances are making tbe most of their opportunities. Decent figures made public by tbe bureau of statistics at Washington show that during tbe year 1907 tbe total consumption of sugar la tbe United Stales was 7.060,055.073 pounds, which means that eacb American con sumed on tbe average eighty-six pounds, or considerably more than half bis own weight of tbe sweet tuff. Of tbe total amount of sugar coosumed 21.7 per cent waa produced at bouse, 17.7 per cent was brought from our Island poaoesslona, while Ibe remaining Si per cent came from for eign coonlriea. An Interesting fea tare of tbe report to that for tbe first time In tbe history of home sugar pro duction the output of beet augar ex reeded that of cane, tbe figures being 907,000,000 pounds of tbe former to 544,000.000 of tbe totter. During tb past twenty years tbe world's sugar production baa nearly doubled, tbe to tal for tost year being 81000,000,000 pounds.
