Importance to Farmers.
Owicg to the fa lnro cf the crops of
Europe it i3 very noecary aud impor
tant for the farmers to pay special nfc
tention to raising more food supply.- It
will not only serve to feed mi;lioc8 of
peoplo in want, but it will be of financial
importacots to tho farmers.
The Manufacturers' Et-cord which 15
decidedly the best authority we have on
such important eubjocts, has the follow
ing very interesting and valuable- infor
mation on this subject :
"Thefailuie of European crops as
sures a demand at good prices for'overy
bushel of wheat and corn that we can
spare and we will enter the crop year of
1892 with very low stocks of grain, liv

She found Tut mother sittiii m th-e arm

Anne was obliged to help crt the diri-
ner, to burn her pretty cheeks over the
cook stove, and blac?ien her white hands
with dishwashing. Miss Carver came
to the kitchen as often aa possible to see
the auburn haired princess in her fallen'
state. Anno turned her back ou her
brusquely, for f.he disliked dishwashing,
and greasy pots and kettles filled her soul
with abhorrence. It was painful to be
exalted over by her enemy, who, in her
hypocritical voice, assumed that Anue
was very fortunate to have the oppor
tunity to Jeam houscwcrlc, which, fce-
position in life, would prove uscf"1-
There was no time now for piano prac
tice or those little nktariishes of pleas
antry in which Anne and the doctor had
been wont to indulge. Sho could not
even enatch a moment of time to regale
his horse, Buckskin, with lumps cf sugar.
The doctor made excuses for frequent
visits to the kitchen, and came to the
conclusion that Aisno was prettier there
than when they were singing their songs
together in the little parlor. IIi3 Cin
derella needed no fairy godmother to
heighten her charms.
-Miss Carver had now great budgets of ;
news to carry to the Widow Harkaway. j
The two dear friends spatted rather
more than usual, as the widow had
made up her mind that the doctor had
taken the money, and could not be moved
from her intrenched position. The doc
tor knew that the part he had assumed
in the matter was telling against him in
the town. His seal in what was con
sidered a wronsr direction had led the
Irish to include him in the general boy
cott against the Bissell family, and had
stirred up some prejudi in other quar
ters, but when ho looked at Anne ha felt
he would have imperiled Lis position five
times over for her sake.
One August afternoon a telegram came
to the doctor summoning him to a friend
suddenly taken ill in a city hotel. There
was just time to catch the train, with
hardly a minute to spare, but aa he was
rushing out of the door, bag in hand, he
remembered something left undone and
turned back to the parlor, where his
landlady waa ' sitting. "By the way,
Mrs. Bissell, here is my board for the
week," and he placed a folded bill in her
hand, then turned and again dashed
away. When Anne came to the room a
few minutes later ehe found her mother
sitting in the armchair bolt upright,
quite stiff and rigid, as if stricken with
paralysis. Her brows were knit, ber
white lips pinched together, and she sat
gazing stupidly before her, with the bill
the doctor had given her tightly clinched
m her hand.
"Mother! mother: cried Auuo, "a
that bad etitch in your side?" and the
frirl stood panic stricken casing at her
mother's white face.
"Oh, Anne! what a blow thia will be
to yon!" and she mechanically held out
thebilL
Anne tooli it and turned it over in her
hand.
"Don't yon see?' said Mrs. Bissell in
an agitated whisper. "He was in a great
hurry to catch the 2:40 train, and he
pulled this bill out of his pocket hurried
ly and thrust it into my hand for board
money. ,
- The color had lef t Anne'3 face. She
brought the bill close to her eyes and
examined it all over, and in one comer
she detected a faint capital B with a lit
tle cross in blue ink close beside it
"Don't you ece It, Anner ehe , askeJ
feebly, rocking back and forth with her
apron . to her eyes. "And I had grown
so attached to him, almost as if he was
one of our own folks. I was so glad to
have him here, and now it seems as
though ray heart would break."
It was now Anne's turn to sink down
on tb.8 sofa trembling and ; white as
chalk. "You don't mean, mother, that
you think he robbed : you? You would
not daro to say it," and the color rushed
back in an impetuous Hood to Anne's
face! s
"I don't know what to think, Anne.
I'm completely stunned. He might have
been up. You know he told ns how poor
he was when he was trying to get up a
practice at Kettletas. Perhaps it was a
sudden temptation, and he thought he
could put the money back before I
should, discover the loss. .Yon "know
some folks thought it , was : queer he
ahould take such an interest in trying to
catch the thief, and bis efforts have
come to just nothing at all It might
have been done to cover up." -V

saw- his nico olfice furniture, and the
horse and carriage that cost him over
three hundred dollars. Mebbe he was
woe temxted and fell for the first time,
and aa for his giving me the bill, it was
all a raistalie. Ho was in a hurry and
forgot himself and pulled out tho wrong

"Bnt suppose I shoald speak to him
and he should try to lie out of it?" asked
Mr.;. Bissell, now submissive to her girl's
will. "Oh , dear, I did like hira so much,
I trusted him as if he had been my son,
and, Anno, I am so sorry for you."
Anne did net ask why her mother was
sorry for her, but sha intensified her
autocratic- tone, knowing that she was
weu under her thumb, '"lou must not
think cf speaking to him, mother. . You
must treat him exactly
as 11 notuing uau
happened."

riously damaged by the late August
rains, the prospect lor a good crop
is tv.iv.

der 5'avoiinir climatic conditions, has
materially improved since last re
port. The maiontyof reports were
iu hand by
the 20 1 ii of August be-
fore the heavy rains set in, hence
the present Average of 73J may be

occasions were very solemn and Impres
sive. The morning service opened with
the Long Meter Doxology. The grand
offertory by Grison was exquisitely
rendered by Professor Henry Eyre
Browne, and the service closed with
the majestic "Coronation" hymn. Dr.
Tahuage's discourse was on The March
of Christ Through the Centuries," and
his text Revelation xix, 12, "On bis
head were many crowns."
May your ears be alert and your
thoughts concentered, and all the powers
of your soul aroused, while 1 speak to
you of "the march of Christ through
the centuries." You say, "give us then
a good start, in rooms of vermilion and
on floor of mosaic and amid corridors
of porphyry and under canopies dyed In
all the splendors of the setting sun."
You can have no such starting place.
At the time our Chieftain was born.
there were castles on the beach of Goli-
lwi auu pumcea , cru3jeui, um uu-
perlal bathrooms at Jericho, and obe
lisks at Cairo, and the Pantheon at
Rome, with its corinthian portico and
its sixteen granite columns; and the
Parthenon at Athens, with its glistening
coronet of temples; and there were
mountains of fine architecture in many
parts of the world. But now tT
Chieftain I celebrate.
A cow's stall, a winter month, an at
mosphere hi which are tho moan of
camels, and the baaing of sheep, and
the barking of dogs, and the rough
banter of hostleries. He takes his first
journey before he could walk. Armed
desperadoes with hands of blood were
ready to snatch him down into butch
ery. Rev. William H. Thompson, the
veteran and beloved missionary whom
I saw this last month in Denver, In his
eighty-sixth year, has described hi his
volume entitled. "The Land and the
Book," Bethlehem as he saw it Win
ter before last I walked np and down
the cray hills of Jura limestone on
which the village now rests.
The fact that King David had been
born there had not during ages ele
vated the village Into any special at
tention. The other fact that It was
the birthplace of our Chieftain did not
keep the place in after years from spe-
cial dishonor, for Hadrian built there
the Grove of Adonis and for one hun
dred and eighty years the religion there
observed was the most abhorrent de
bauchery the world has ever seen. Our
Chieftain was considered dangerous
from the start The world had put
suspicious eyes upon him because at1

philosophers that the world ever saw,
declared it was a true science.
As bite as the reign of Charles U,
filly, an astrologer, was called before
the house of commons in England to
give h opinion as to future events,
