EORGE SCHUY LER went home frbrn the office with two problem? on his mind. The first di not worry him much, for it was only a small mat ter in connection with his business, He was a young architect grappling with his first large order- the erection of i. thirteen story office building. In one corner of the lot which the structure was to occupy a troublesome bit of quicksand had been discovered; but he knew several ways of overcoming quicksand, and it only remained for him to choose the best of them. The other question was more important and difficult. What sort of a Christinas present should. he give to a girl who had always had everything she wanted from her cradle up.J He could estimate exactly the tensile strength of any species of building ma terial, or the number of pounds weight that a steel truss would have to sustain; but he knew no formula that would help him in such a cae as this. The trouble seemed to be that while George could look at the building from a coldly professional standpoint, he. .could take no such view of anything which concerned Rose's happiness. He was hoi in love with the gigantic mass of brick and iron; but hu' was violently, and, so far. as he knew, hope lessly in love with her. He was willing to give her anything that would please her, but he doubted the good taste of a too lavish expenditure. No; it must be some elegant trifle that she had never seen before, and that would move her irresistibly to "Love the Giver." Something that would give her a hint of the condition of his heart, and prepare.dier lor the words he hoped to utter, some day-. Rose WyckOiT v.-a? the daughter of a man, who valued the substantial fruits of the harvest above the pink and white' buds of the springtime. Most of George's prospects were still in the bud. When that big building was really finished, and one or two more, that he hoped to get orders for under wav, it would be soon enough to ar proach the old gentleman. Although George had a very clear idea of what Mr, Wyckoti would snv ii he spoke no.v, he coujd jaia no Idea of what Hose would sav ; but he was 'grimly determined to try to be worthy o. her. He left the rest io fate, and con- j tented himself with drawing the design! j for magnificent and glittering, castles ic Spain. When George went to call on Rose I that t-vening, he tried to be as cherry and animated as usual, but "his nervous and absorbed manner must have giver j her some hint of the heavy load anxiety he was carrying; for, as he stood j a warm, little left hand into his. drawing on his overcoat in the hall, aftci j 4 'The third! Why, that is the en the last good-nights had been said,- she .gagement finger!" exclaimed George, as threw herself across the outside door and barred his egres'. a As she stood with her gracefully rounded body well set out by the polished oaken door, and her bright face turned up to him with an expression which a bottler mau might almost have con-j strued as an invitation, George felt that ; he would have given the value of all the buildings that he ever hoped to plan, to tell herdiow much he thought of her. lie wits "somewhat surprise 1 at her sud c.en movement, or as much so as he ever permitted himself to be at any of her ac tions, which wjere .generally uuaccount- ,able from a mu-euhne standnoint. lie 1. only thought, that if slie were going to appear in 'the character of a jailor, he ouia stand a lite sentence "with consid erable equanimity. 'Xow, before you go, George,1' sa'd Rose, with her hand still on the k.iob, "I want to ask you one question. You are not thinking of making a Christmas jresent to. mc this year, are you?" George owned that he had takcu tlio. 3:atter into serious consideration. "And you are determined to persist in doing so in spite of my disapproval?'' j lie asked, with a smile that must have have warned him that her ' disapproval would not be of a serious nature, for he nad the line presence of mind to signify' itrmly that he was not only adamant in lhat respect, but even iridium. ''Well, I like a determined man," ad mitted Rose,, with an admiring glance at his sufficiently aissertive chin ;; "and if fou are determined, I want to ask you to allow me to choose my own pres-. eat." "With pleasure 1" exclaimed George. "That is awfully nice of you," sajd Rose; "but be sure' to remember not to get anything until you hear from me. I will let you know in good time. Must vou reallv go now?" she' asked; for George, with the fortuitous .absent mind cdness of a truly bashful man, had placed his hand over hers on the knob, of the door. "Good-night, then," she said, as it Yielded to their united - efforts, and George found himself standing outside on the steps. lie Raised his hat as the door closed gently, as if it were reluctant to shut him out from her presence. That night George drew some prelimi nary sketches of the Spanish chateau, that were full of detail as to the chate laine, but hazy as to the stairways. After that, he saw Rose quite often before it was time for the green wreaths to hang in the parlor windows; but she always said that she was not yet rea ly to ..tel him what kind of a present she wanted. It was not until Christmas Eve that he received a little note hastily scribblc Ton the back of a visiting card. Deati George:-I lini that I have neg- lected to give you the information I prai- ised. But it .doesn't matter. We nav-j .gono j to the country for our; wintir outinr, and ; mother wants m.' t a ask you to join us fnr as many days as you can spar ? Irora t"ast- ness. 1 hope you v- VA com- an 1 give me a chance to ke?p my promk-:'. ' ' MneereLy yours, Rose. George acccptel the invitation with ; alacrity. He put an "Out of Town" ; sign on his office doorman.! left the big 1 building to its own devices. On New Year's morning Rose suggest-. ed a ride to Sunset Hill, one of the wildest : and most picturesque spots m.th?. neigh- J borhood; and, after the horses were t brought around- to. the do or, they set out together through the bright, frosty i air. They rode half-way up the hill and then dismounted and, k-aving their horses tied to a bar-post, followed a . rough toot -path to the summit. j Rose' stood close to George, looking far out over fields and woods and groups j of cottages, and gazing with thoughtful f eyes on the Sound, where the owrrov- ered ice-cakes glistened ia tiie mornin sun. The strong wind rushed through j the trees and pressed her closer to him. j He steadied her with very unsteady j hands. ' 44 What a wreck I am," she said. as she put back a brown tress w.vcn' .strayed across her face. "Oh, I nearly forgot to toil yuj about ruy present: Frankly, would you mind giving a ring to m it'' George's face fell j as he returned: 'what kind of a ringd You have so many of them; and I wantei to give you something original.' ' "A ring would be very original, from you;" and she smiled demurely; "audi fancy a plain turquoise would b.v the proper thing, now. Here, you may measure my finger; the third, please And diawing off her glove, she slipped the air assumed forJiim the balmy naild- cesii of an Indian summer. 'You said it yourself, George Schuy ler V she cried, with a brave attempt to be saucy; but her voice was timid and choked, as she reste 1 her delicate head lightly against hisshaggy coat; and, now, you can never telLgiuy one l proposed to you, even if even if this is L Leap, year." Puck. Sympathetic Jurors. Criminal court lawvers- like to have their cases on the first two or three days of the term if possible. The reason ia that the jurors in many instances are fre-h and green at the work of listening to evidence, and invariably show mere sympathy for the persons on trial thai they have after they have sat for a coupld of weeks. Jurors in the General Sessions Cou2 are chosen to try cases for a montfe. Every tgrm there are always seme who .have never been in the court before, while of course others have had plenty of experience, and are adamantine. So the young lawyer at thebeginuing of the month dwells on the sympathetic side of bis case and resorts to all tricks, such as vbringi ng the weeping wife into court, and tells the juries of the terrible re sults of a term in State prison. The workings of the minds of the jurors are beyond explanation. The first case tried in Part III. of the ccurt this term was a little assault case. A man was charged with shooting :t his wife; he didn't hit her. It happened to come out, on the trial that the defendant had a razor, which he had dropped when he was arrested. There was not the slightest evidence that he had ever used the razor or threatened to use it. Still, after the jurymen had been out for half an hour, they sent back word to the court that they would like to have the razor seat up to them. What they could want of the razor was beyond im agination, but the Judg e sent it uj to their room. It might have been ef fective, however, for the jury failed to agree. New York Times.

FARM ANB HOUSEHOLD. THE FEEDING VALUE, OF Cor.Mr.At.. The cob of corn is not digestible, aad is not to be recommended for feeding to horses It is diiacult to grind a fine as hesc animals, and is art to produce irritation of the bowel- by. iu sharpness and roughness. fcr cows and sheep it is not so objectionable, but its small quantity of nutritive matter ren ders it of little value for even these ani mals hat have strong digestive orah. As it must be ground to be of any use, the cost of grinding leaves no profit ?h the feeding, ami, therefore, .considering all things, it;' is more advisable to use cornmeal instead of the eobmeal. As a rule the best food is the mo-t. economi cal, and mere bulk is better made un with hay, or even straw, which is more easily digeste 1 than the hard, woodv cobs of core New York Time. PLOWING WITH DTNAM fTL". Subsoil plowing with dynamite is one of the new-methods in the South, and it is said to be equal to the process of trenching used IjV the market irardencrs to loosen the earth to a lepth of two or three feet and allow the absorption of a good- deal of water for sustaining vegeta tion during a drought. The- inventor drills hole. two or three feet deep and five feet apart, making 1100 to the acre. Iu each he puts an explasive, and after tamping it, discharges, the number, be- ing connected with a wire leading to a battery. In a recent experiment the ex- ) plosive used was one-fourth of ya small sized dynamite cartridge, with jibout an ounce ot Judson powder. 'The surface of the ground appeared to be lifted two or three feet, a few small clods fceim thrown to the height of a house. It was broken to the depth of thirty inches at the points of the explosion and sideways for a part of the distance between the holes. St. Louis Republic. EAT.VIJI.E Ml TToN. Of the various crosses of the South down or other breeds of sheep, the Shropshire thus far seems the most gen erally useful in America. A greater num ber of these have consc piently been im ported, especially of rams to turn out among our flocks of common ewes. The chif unit of their breeding is an increase of flesh in proportion to tne bone, and this flesh is of supreme quality, it being mostly a tender, juicy lean, well marble 1, that is abundantly mixed with - nice, slender streaks of fat. Broader, more juicy and thicker chops can be cut from the carcass of such sheep, and they are more savory and tenderly cooked. Tiie leg of mutton, whether roasted or boded, is so superior that every part of it is eaten without waste of fat ri 1 tough pieces to be cut oil and laid aside. If, then, itdiappeus to cost higher in the market, it is cheaper iu the end, for every part of it is consumed and highly relished. New York Tribune. FARM AND G Alii) EN NOTE.
