"For real solid comfort," siid Mr. Yorke ho was no longer a young mm, and had learned to smilo at many of the- ''delusions of earlier youth "give me the city, no matter what the calendar is." He had just folded his paper so as to get at the editorial column, when the bell boy brought in a telegram. "Ahl" murmured Yc.ke, as he perused its contents. ".ast as I thought. These women never can let a follow alone. 1'rom Mrs. Dedlock Dolby--to con? down to Dolby Beeches at once Bless her dear lit tle imperative heart I "What can pos sibly have happened?

And when I'm so especially comfortable ju,t where I am V But Sfintley Yorke was a business man. and the Dedlock Dulbys were (imon Lis best clients, so that mat ters ended by his taking the night ex press to Wax field the nearest station to Dolby Beeches, where he arrived in the yellow glow ot" a midsummer doming, very sleepy and somewhat inclined to be cross. Mrs. Dedlock Dolby who had tijase party ol ten or a dozeu people s'ayiHjg in a mansion big enough and airy enough for a summer hotelre ceived him at a private breakfast in her own- sitting-room, in a charming matinee of blue muslin and fluttering ribbons. '"It's so kind of you, -dear Mr. Yorker1 saivl Aw. ''I5nt Dedlock is mlmou nliin in the Sagueuay lliver, anl 1 -did not know what. t do u; wcere to turn.

Do stay, Mr. Yi tke ! , Do stay, Mr. Y'orke,' pleaded a swee. voice b .'iiin I him ; and he turned to see Diana Dolby, a beautiful young biaaette, with a complexion like rreamy velvet and large, melting eyes. "Pet and Felix Francaletti have hope lessly disorganized all our plans, and we must have some one to help us out." "Even such an old fellow as I am?" laughed Yorke, holding the slim, little hand a second or two longer than was absolutely necessary. D: cast a sweet, sidelong glance at him, full of bewildering, jetty light. "Oh, you're not so very old," said she, demurely ; aud Yorke relinquished his clasp. Y'es, he was certainly verging to ward fortv, and Di was onlv seven teen 1 Mrs. Dolby langhed ; as if it were an excellent joke. Mrs. Dolby, he remembered, bit terly, was always lacking iu tact and sense. VYhat was there to laugh at? All the rest of the house party, how ever, welcomed him rapturously, and in spite of himself he was drawn into the vorter of merry-making. Mrs. Appleby, a plump widow, who had once tlirted with him in the long ago before she married the defunct Appleby, showed a remarkable anxi ety to pick up the thread of sentiment just as they had left it iu thaold days, and, to avoid her rather passee smiles, Yorko found himself unavoidably forced into the vounger circles. And it was surprising how heartily he enjoyed it ! "Really!" cried Mrs. Dolby, one morniug. "Tableauxs! After Mrs. Appleby flitd I went up stairs last night? What did you have, chil dren?' . "Oh. lots of lovely things," said Gecile Montpensier. "The 'Huguenot Lovers,' of course, and the 'Bride of La rmermoor. and a" delightful little private theatrical Th? Lovers' De cision.' Mr. Yorke was Peter Prim, and Di was Keturah Posey, and Jack Thorpe was the clergyman who mar ried,em. He did look so clerical in mammal white China crape shawl." V'Why didn't you call us?" chirped Mrs. Appleby, archly. "We didn't want any old people," explained heedless Di ; and then she remembered herself, and colored red der than any rose in June. "That is, of course, we knew that mamma had a headache." Miss Montpensier relieved the em barrassment of the situation by sud denly striking the grand opening chords of the ''Washington Post March" on the piano. i!rs. Dolby laughed Mrs. Appleby turned away with a malicious toss of the head. "That minx," said she to herself "I'll teach her a lesson or two!" The next afternoon she seized the fortunate opportunity when Diana had gone into the rose garden to gather roses to decorate the drawing-room for the evening's dance. 0h, you are here, are you?" said she. "Let's go into the summer house and rest." But Di was not pining for a tete-a-tete with the frisky widow. "I must cut these roses, ' said she. "Mamma is in a hurry." "Bat I want to tpeak to yort, Di ana. ' ' To peak to me ? What about? Di's scissors gleamed nerroutly among the rose-stems. "It's very particular crasine! indeed," said Mrs. Appleby, holding her parasol so that the sun should not rudely touch her well-powdered cheek. "A great secret." Diana lifted her large melting ejea. "What can you possibly mean," gaid she. "I have never told a soul about it, said the widow. "But such a thing happened once at a house where 1 was staying before dear Appleby died, and the judge decided that it was a gen uine ceremony." The roses fell in a crimson drift on the grass; the basket rolled away. "What are you talking about, Mrs. Appleby?" cried Di, all in a flutter. "Nothing,'' said the widow, vindic tively, 'except that you're really, legally married to that New York man!" "I?" echoed Di. ' Married?" 'Re can insist upon it if he chooses, ". announced Mrs. Appleby. "A man twice your age ! And I must say, Di ana Dolby, that you richly deserve this awful doom, flirting and carrying on as you have done. Y'es, I must re iterate that it serves you right I" Between every sentence she paused, as if Tor a reply, but Di kept supreme ly silent. She was slowly gather iiraU up her roses into the pink-ribboned basket once more. "What have you to say for your self?" viciously demanded Mrs. Ap pleby, giving the girl's shoulder a lit tle shake. "Answer, you pert minx!" "Let go my arm F cried Di. "And I'm not a minx !" ''You're married yes, inamed to that old man 1" hysterically cried the widow. Well, what if I am?" retorted Di ana, driven at last to some active re sponse. "He's as handsome as Apollo and 1 like him. And I'd as sooli be married to Iiirn as not. I never did 'care for boys. Go away, Mrs. Apple by, and leave me to finish picking my roses." "You bold girl 1" fluttered the ex asperated widow. "Never did I dream vou would face it out lil:e this. But v if you will solemnly promise never to speak to him again I'll say nothing of tnis dreadful complication to any one else. Promise, Diana!" "I won't," cried the jnrl. "I won't I won't!" Just then Mrs. Appleby's maid was heard shrilly calling for her. Bhe darted one venomous glance at Di and vanished among the trailing briers of the roses. Diana sat down amrrng her flowers, and began to cry. She had been plucky enough under fire ; but now a strange bewilderment came over her a ter ror for which she could not account and she started nervously as a rustling aounded from the summer house be yond. Could it be possible that some one was there? Astroag, shapely hind put aside the fringes of the hammock suspended tnere a "man's figure came down the steps and plunged into the fragrant wilderness of the rosery. "Di!" said Santley Yorke. "My little pearl among pearls! Look up and say tho enchanted words again. You do like me? You would as soon be married to me as not?" "She she drove me to it!" fal tered Di. "Yes, the first time. Now let me win you to it the second time. Look into my eyes, sweet Di. Speak from vour heart." And there, among the roses, pretty Di lifted her shy glance to his face and utjred the dictates of her girl heart. "J like vou, Mr. Yorke. I would rather be married to you than not." He took her lovingly in her arms. "Then I'm not such an old fogy, after all?" ."You're just right," she whispered. 'But is it true? Are we really mar ried?" "No, dearest, we are not married. All that is only Mrs. Appleby's hatred, malice and all uncharitableness. Bat we will be married." "Mr. Yorke" began DL Try Santley, darling," he intei posed. "Stanley, then. How came you to in the summer house?" V l Why, I was lying in the hammook looking over my mail, when, all of a sndden, I heard Ms. Arjolebv scold ing yoa. Was it vlry wrong to listen V "It was quite ight," said Di, em phatically. So there wa & second wedding ia the Dedlock Dolby family that sum mer. And Mrs. Appleby is no longer on the list of visitors at Dolby Beeches. Saturday Night. A Model State Camp. The great State of New York, as be fitted her rank among her sister com monwealths, and profiting by the ex periences of the railway riots of 1877, was among the first to undertake the placing of her militia forces on a basis of efficiency, and to hold the troops in preparation for tho sterner duties of the soldier. The establishment some years ago of the State Camp at Peek skill has proved the main factor in the surprising improvement in soldierly qualities and the high state ot dis cipline which are now characteristic of the National Guard of the State. It would be hard indeed to find a more picturesque site or one better adapted for the purpose thau the plateau on which the camp is pitched. Situated right at the entrance to the gorge of the Hudson Highlands, on a flat topped promontory jutting out from tho high hills surrounding it on three V. .1 A 1. . C lL. L wiiiie m tne ungnt sunsnine, gleams in contrast with the dark verdure be yond, while, stretching in la ;elike ex panse to the heights on the opposite shore, the broad river curves, disap pearing around the rocky bluffs to the north. On two sides smooth parades stretch to the edge of the grassy plain ideal drill-grounds for any branch of the service, horse, foot or dragoons; and the surrounding coun try, wooded and hilly, crossed by .winding roads and dotted with clear ings, oilers opportunities for manoeu vres and exercises in minor taetics. Hard work is done at the camp; there is but little leisure, and the mi litiaman's time is fully occupied. ' At five o'clock, with the boom of the morning gun and the sonorous rolling of the dtums beating reveille, the camp wakens to thcywork of the day, and the loner streets of tents swarm with men, as at the call for assembly the companies spring into ranks, and the monotonous tones of the sergeants' voices are heard calling the roll. Then, as the ranks are broken, the re ports are made, and the soldiers scat ter to make the rough camp toilet and prepare for the morning drill soon to follow. At 7.30 the drums over at the guard tent rattle "Pease upon a trencher," and .the companies swing off with measured tread to breakfast in the mess-hall, from which they return to police the quarters and place every thing in order for the daily recurring inspection. "All over the camp the men are busy as bees, sweeping, roll ing up tent walls, making up the beds, removing rubbish, scouring cups and basins, raising tent floors and placing everything in apple-pie order. Har per's Weekly. Issued Once a Year. Apropos of curious newspapers, the Esquimaux Bulletin is certainly the most curious in the world. It is printed at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, in latitude fifty-fonr degreee forty minutes, and claims to be the only journal published within the Arctic Circle, while it is issued only once a year. This little paper is printed on stiff white paper, on one side only, the size of the sheet being twelve by eight inches, It is printed not from type, but by the hectograph process, and contains a variety of news, arranged under different heads. In mirtWul icaitstion of the daily papers in other localities, it triumphantly carries at the heal of its columns the legend, "Largest Circulation in the Arctic," and also the additional boast of "Only yearly newspaper in the world." The Esquimaux Bulletin is in error, how ever, in assuming this sub-title. Hk our contemporary seen a copy of the Atnagliztit? That it also a yearly paper,, and it is published in about the same latitude is the Esquimaux Bulletin, at Goot ijiib,, in Greenland. A Parisian irna, the XXe Siecie, appears once re:ir. but that is only to secure th T Lt t j the title when the twentieth s rtrntuxv become a fact. THE X. C. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AT RALEIGH. Matters of Interest and Value to Farmers Special! Prepared for This Paper. THE EXPERIMENT STATION' BO.I.ETT5S. The offer is made by the manaee ment of the Station to send the bul letins free of charge to all in North Carolina who reallv desire io recvive them. Thousand of farmers hive already taken advantage of this offer. Unless you really want to be benefited by them, please do not apply for them. If you desire to read them, write" ou postal card to Dr. H. B. Battle, Dir ector, Ealeigh, N. C. WHAT IS AN AOKirt LTi nAI. EXrEHIMENT STATION? It is an institution established to benefit agricultural industry. t How can it do this? f To bear the expense and to conduct work which will be useful to enter prising farmers. Many of these often desire to investigate for themselves but are prevented by expense and lack of facilities. At nn ex perinient station are employed scientific und practicul men who, with every facility, devote their timein investigating agricultural subjects. What are these subjects? How can farming be made to pay? How can we improve our worn soils at a minimum expense? How should cer tain soils be fertilized to yield the lt'Nt crop? How can waste products be saved and utilized? Can new plants be advantageously grown? The value of certain foods for cattle. The best grasses for certain soils. The dairy industry. The value of ensilage. A study of the diseases and insects af fecting crops, and the best methods to prevent their ravage. To determine the best varieties of grasses, fruits, and vegetables . for the highest mar kets. , These and a score . of kindred subjects. How long will it take to reach these conclusions? Answers should not be expected in a short time. In manv cases several sea eons of careful work will be necessary. In the meantime the Station scekn to disseminate valuable facts mid truths wnicn win ename larmers to make ana save money. v t?l "II It 1 'N Is the North Carolina Station at Baleigh doing all this? Yes; and in addition, through the Fertilizer Control, it protects farmers from fraud in the sale of fertilizers. In this way it has already , saved them millions of dollars. In answering cor respondents, it is always ready to give the best advice it can on agricultural subjects. Does the Station print the result of its work.' les. It issues frequent bulletins and reports. These are nil free to those who request them. By valuable co-operation of the press of the State, notes oi tne work or tne rtntion are printed in their columns from time to time. How is the North Carolina Station at Raleigh supported? Funds for its support are appropria ted by the U. S. Congress. Though it is working for the fanners of North Carolina, the State appropriates noth ing to it. No one need, therefore, fear that the. cost to sustain it is bur densome. IH. B. Battle, Eiporiment Station, Raleigh. 1 TO CURE COW TEA VINE It AT. For hay, cow pea vines should al ways be cut before the jMd are full grown. A fairly satisfactory way to cure pea vines is to cut in the after noon when there is a promise of fair weather, and let the pea vines lie and wilt until next day after the dew is off. The leaves will then be somewhat though and the vines can be put np in moderate stacks without losing much foliage. The stacks should be hk small as convenient to make, and from sevn to nine feet high. These; may stand un til the vines are thoroughly cured, when they should lw brought together and housed early in the moaning or on a cloudy day, without rain; when the hay is tough enough to lear moving without loss of leaves. Extract from N. C. Experiment Station Bulletin No. 98. WRY PCLL TOt'B CORN FODDER? It is definitely settled by careful ex periment that there is a eriou in pulling fodder; and that by cutting th whole com plant at the time of pulling fodder, almost twice as much food ma terial may be Kaved as is now done by pulling the fodder. To get the ufoft food out of the corn crop would be to make ens:!ag! out of it, by putting it up in a ilo. If the silo is not at hand the next best plan would be to cut close to the grosind with short handled hoes and tho:k in the field. Put 4o taG60 ponnda in a shock, and stand the bnts out open esosgh to make the shock aUnd hrra and let in the air t dry the e-,rn Bind the tops tight to hold together and keep out rain- When cured, shuck ont the ears, and rat what is left, known ttovrr fth stalks, blades and shuck;, into one half or inch lengths. l cX to co o work tearr; jth col!v mel wheat bran, or fcuth ether nitrogens; material as can be raoet readily ob- tained. For nearlv balanced ration; feed one pound of meal to four toix of tovtr. Fed in this proportion the stock will eat up clean. For grow ing tookpne of meal to fix to eight f stover will do. The ftover alone, fed freely, will support an animal et ret and not girinu tuilk. Bulletin 104 of the N. C. Experiment' Station a!o fchows how much isgnim-d by this plan, and estimates the gain almost equal k the weight of the fodder mm That is, by curing the whole stalk about twice the food material is made as is how done by pulling the feddvt.
