It will scarcely be believed that wheat in sold in the United Kingdom of Great Britain ami Ireland under nearlv two hundred different systems of weight. There iH almost as much diversity in regard to barley and oats. The result is that quotations from the varions markets create bewilderment and con fusion even in the minds of experts. Professor A. S. Hardy-has, what the Chicago Herald considers, some very wholesome ideas concerning realism. "A man nowadays," he is quoted as saying, "goes out and the i'rrt thing he seen is v. mud puddle, and he de scribes it, But if you look shan enough and long enough nt the bo'i toin f every mud i)iiddlc you ran ve the sky ; and that's just whr.t yuiir modern realiht doesn't see." A curious state of affairs prevails iu France in ft hit ion to women. AFivr.-!i woman may become a doctor, a lawyt r, a member of the Board of Education, and may even be decorated with - the CroKs of the Legion of Honor; but sue may not witness a legal document. She occupies an 'important place, in rat, business, anil commerce ; but nhe can not possess lier own earnings if she it married, and she can neither buy not sell property without her hushamlY consent. A rich discovery of th- finest oua'ily of porcelain clay, red and white u color, has been made sis miles north of Pleasant Grove in Utah Couniv, Utah.' Samples sent to the Sniithsouiim Institution are said to be the finest specimens of porcelain ever receive;! by it. The white clay is almost a clear as glass and will bum when lunuc as thin as a knife -blade, whil.; t.Ve red is adapted to the manufacture of the best pottery. A tunnel fifty feet in length has been run into the mountain where the "strike" was made. In Cincinnati, the othr Iry, 1k Chief of Police gave n surprising evi dence of '"iiildisn superstition, relates the New York Tribune. A woman had been murdered,- and tie husband wut suspected of having committed the murder. There is an old wive.-.' fable to the effect.' that if a murderer i." brought into the roonf where Hie body of his victim lies the wounds will at once begin" to bleed afresh.' Acting on this belief, the Chief - of tli:f Police brought the husband into the morgue where the murdered woman was. lint the wounds did not bleed. To be thoroughly 'consistent the police de partment (night to discharge the sus pected man ; for liis innocence has been proved in a way that those who belie w in it nt all must consider divine.

Iu Italy, however, the shortage in all the grain crops, caused by drougli, as ascertained recently by the Govern ment of that country, will compel tin1 importation of a very large quantity in excess of the amount commonly drawn from abroad. It seems probe. ble that there will 1k a goo 1 market for all the wheat thit we shall a", le to spare. - The hist Congress appropriated 31i 000 to the Department of Agriculture for the special purpose of enabling the Secretary of Agriculture to make in quiries concerning the systems of road management throughout the United States, to make investigations in regard to the best methods of road making, to prepare.' publications oh this subject suitable for distribution, and to enable him to assist the agrieuhurti cplleg. and experiment stations in disseminat ing information on this subject.

Nearly all of them have established industrial de partment. and are offering extremely favorable concessions to successful manufacturers everywhere who wish to locate in the West. Every, year the demand for common horses is becoming less, the Farm, Field. and Fireside notes. The demand for finely bred horses, especially car riage horses, is, not likely to be affected in the least bv the introduction of J cable and electric cars for city tran sportation. The "motor" can never displace the "carriage" for toe pleasure drive or family ride. It would be interesting to know bow the word "kev," which is the char acteristic name of many small island in the Spanish-American waters, should have crept &o far north as the coast ol New Jersey, where it is found in Key East and Key West. The word is from the same root as quay, and it appears some hundreds of times between Flor ida and the coast of South America. The annual meeting of the Mont gomery (Ala.) Industrial and Com mercial Association brought out many important facta. The increase of the enrollment of school children since 1890 has been fifteen per cent., in dicating an increase of about 4100 in population during that time. The tn crease in the assessment of property has been $2,000,000. About 1000 buildings have been erected during that period. There are 115 new establishments, employing 2600 hands and turning out an annual product valued at 0,000,000. The increase in these establishments in three years has been forty-five. . Oregon and Washington send mil lions of feet of lumber to the Austra--lian colonies, where the native wood is too hard for building and joining. The kinds of timber most in demand are sugar pine, redwood, spruce, and "Ore gon" pine. The last named is used for bridge work and the exterior of houses. For lighter work, sugar pine is used the most, and is preferred to Michigan clear pine. Redwood is employed in cheap cabinet work, fittings, etc. The spruce is often sold as Oregon pine. The lumber trade with Australia, how ever, has fallen off sharply of late, ow ing the collapso of building societies and the bursting of the land boom, and it is estimated that the present supply of Oregon and Washington lumber now in the hands of the importers, about 12,000,000 superficial feet, will fill the demand for the next twelve months. The recent marriage in New York City of the Earl of Craven to Miss Bradley -Mar tin has given the curious statistician cause to calculate the amount of "plebeian" American cash that has be.n paid for fusty European titles in th past twenty-five years. Forty-eight marriages are mentioned) and the estimate of wealth transferred to the other side of the Atlantic is S30,000,000. Twelve brides took $o2,500,000 with'them. Among the richest of these were: The Duchess of Marlborough, daughter of Joshua Price, of Troy, and widow of Louis Hammersley, of New York, $7,000, 000; tho Marchioness do Mores, daugh ter of. John Hoffman, of New York, 85)000,000; the Princess of Galatio, Colonna and of Stigliano, daughter of John W. Mackay, of San Francisco, $5,000,000; the Duchess de Dino, daughter of the late Josf ph Samnjson, of New York, $3,000,000; the Duchess of Lante-Monfeltrio della Rovere, daughter of Thomas Davis, of New York, $3,000,000, etc. The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec ord makes the point that diversified agrieuit nre has driven out the single crop notion in the South. It says: "In 1892 the cotton crop of the South was valued at about $315,000, 000. The corn crop was valued at $248,000,000, wheat over $40,000,000 and oats about $25,000,000. These three products were then of equal value with the cotton crop. Adding to them the value of tobacco raised, over $22,000,000; of rice, about $10,000, ; 000; Florida oranges, about $35,000, 000, and of garden truck, fruits and vegetables shipped North, between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000, the total of the products named amounts to about $400,000,000." For some years after the war cotton was produced al most to the exclusion of food crops, but it is not so now, and in Georgia and the Carolina, the Atlanta Consti tution predicts, it will Boon hold second place as to value amour; the agricultural products, be cause of the increase in cereals, f raits ind vegetables. Certainly the South. annot be accused of sticking to the jingle crop system, when her agricul .ural products in.lS92 were valued at 1400,000,000, not counting cotton, irhich was valued at $315,000,000. m QUIET BAYS In quiet bays by storms un?f ent I rcoor my boat with calm cfontent.'

Charlotte Tendleton, in Lippincott. EBEN. BT EVELTX A. KISG. N the days before the railroads were established, . the arrival of the coach was a mat ter, of much im portance to the inhabitants o f the little village 3f Kinhope, which was situated within fifty miles of Boston. As the coach approached the village this beautiful morning in May, it as cended a long, steep hill, from the brow of which could be seen the many hills lying about, with the pretty wooded valleys between ; and away off to the right a mountain peak, which was Mount Wachusett. Among the pas sengers riding on top of the coach was Eben Eames, and many, many years after, when his last days were spent in a house not than built upon this very hill, Eben recalled the bright anticipa tions of this d ay. - Eben was going home after having spent several years as an apprentice with Cobbler Gore in Boston, while two years of work in addition to the ap prenticeship, in which he had been in dustrious and saving, had enabled him to lay by a little sum. On leaving the coach Eben made his way hurriedly to his home, where he was received with a shout of welcome, and turned about to be praised and ad mired to his complete satisfaction. After the exclamations had subsided somewhat, Eben said with a little em barrassment :. "How how is" Molly?" "An' how should I know; go an' see for yerself," said Eben's mother good naturedly, understanding his impa tience to see the girl who was so soon to be his wife. As Eben crossed the road, Molly saw him coming, and with a first impulse started to run down the garden path to meet him. Then suddenly a feeling of bashfulness coming over her, she drew "back into thehouseJ With Eben's knock at the door, there came a young woman with the fresh bloom of health on her cheeks, and Eben felt almost shy when he greeted Molly, she seemed to him so lovely. When about to leave, Eben said : "An' then it will be this day week, Molly ?" and Molly demurely answered : "Yes."- A week later a few neighbors, with the immediately related families, were pres-ent at the wedding of Molly and Eben. From Molly's home they went to live on the main street of the vil lage. There was a cosy house in the rear, and a little shop in front, while a big sign, with its gilt letters proclaim ing to all passersby : "Eben Eames, Shoemaker," was next to Eben, the pride of Molly's heart. These were happy days. Molly sing ing about her work would stop now and then to hear the rap-rap-tap-tap of Eben's hammer. When the stitch ing began aud all was still, the silence oppressed her, and alter listening at . the door to make sure no customers were in, she would open the door care fully, tiptoeing up to Eben who sat with his back toward her, when to his great surprise a pair of hands would cover his eyes, and a sweet voice would be sounding in his ears : . "Guess, Eben." Naturally Eben guessed correctly after a few. trials. This play came to be looked forward to by the young man, for it was not always presented in the same way, Molly being n young woman pi resources. But afttr a time Eben began to be restless, th1 village was too small; he could not t aru money fast enough, and he began to think of going to Uoston, when there came a rumor that a rail road was to be built. . "Molly, when that railroad comes, .it will be a great day for us. I'll build a bigger shop and make shoes 'enough to send to other towns, and hire several men to work for me. Oh, Molly,, then we'll get rich." "That would be well, Eben, but we are happy now without riches, " she would reply. The railroad was begun. The tracks were laid almost to the adjoining town and Eben no longer restraining his impatience, began to build his larger shop, Molly said : 'I wouldn't hurry, Eben. Y"ou know the proverb tells us 'haste makes waste.' Better wait another year." Unheeding, Eben pushed on the work of building. One day a stranger came into the little shop ; a fine-looking gentleman. The new railroad naturally became a .tepic for conversation. "It will do . great things for our vil lage," said Eben. "Ah," said .the gentleman, "have you not heard? We have decided not to have it toucn this place, but con tinue it bv wav of Rocksboro'. Bv the way, going to enlarge your business? Nice shop going up opjuisite. " Eben choked some inarticulate reply, and the stranger left, wondering what had happened to the cobbler, but little knowing or earing what grief his words had wrought. A few moments later Molly came in with her usual light way, but meeting no response asked : Eben, what's the matter of you?" Then Eben, lifting his head, said dieavilv, "Mollv, I am ruined." "Ruined!" "Yes. ruined. Mr. Simm?, one of the head ones on the road, has just been in, and said the road'll not touch this town. It is goin by on the other Bide." Molly's face blanched, for she well knew what this meant. Money nearly " tpent on the larger shop. No one would buy it. All their bright hopes dw&feed in a moment. Ilecoverimr somewhat, she put her arms about! Eben, saying k "Even so, Ebenj iWe can begtn again snd live as we have lived these past few years. You are but twenty eight now." At last her sensible words and com forting touch reached nim, and he agreed to try to regain his cheerfulness. A year passed. Molly saw with dis may the change wrought in Eben by his misfortune. He was restless, long ing to do something, to go somewhere ; irritable even, at times ; so unlike the gay, good-humored husband of other days. Mollv feared, ehe scarcely knew what, and when sitting at their evening meal one eveningj Eben said : "I've made -up" my mind, Molly, to leave this place." She felt the blow had fallen. " Well, Eben," she answered quietly, "when and where shall we go?" Eben glanced down at his plate, not liking to see a look of surprise and pain! which he know would come to the face of his wife, at the words he was about to ear. "I've been thinkin', Molly," he said, slowly, "as how you might stay on here a while, an' I'll go to Boston first an' see what I can do, an if. I don't find the right lay of the land, mebbe l'll go farther till I do. " "But Eben ""Molly remonstrated. Eben did not wait for her to finish, and continued : "There's a little money I'll leave ye, which will keep ye for a while, until I find a place to settle ; then I'll send for it ye. "Yes, Eben," said Molly, "the money will keep me for a little while, but I want to go with you. Do let me. Take me with you. Oh, don't leave me be hind. I feel, Eben, as though we'd both be sorry for it, if you don't let me go with you now." As she clung to him, Eben almost yielded to her sweet persuasion, but suddenly answered with determined obstinacy. . "No, Molly, Em a-goin' first" It was with a sad and heavy heart that Molly prepared Eben's valise for his journey. The next morning, as she stood watching him going down the road, Eben, turning, saw her there and for the instant his heart prompted him to turnback, she looked so sorrowful, and he thought of her words, "I feel as though we'd both be sorry if you don't let me go." But he would not give in to such feelings, and soon he was on his way lost in bright hopes of future success, when he and Molly would be living in luxury. When Eben disappeared, Molly went in through the shop. There everyr thing had been put away, and the shop cleared of the shoemakers' tools. It looked so desolate as Molly took the seat Eben used to occupy that her self-control gave away and the sobs came quick and hard. As the days passed Molly often caught herself lis tening for the sound of Eben's ham mer, but no such sound came to Molly listening, waiting for years. No ac customed sound came to the passerby and in time the people came to the little shop to buy- the shining loaves of bread which Molly baked. It was a May day like- th-3 one when Eben had come home and said, "This day week, Molly, " and Molly had so shyly answered "Yes." It was the time of day when few customers came ia. In the back part of the shop or store sat a woman about thirty-five years old, still fair to look upon, but with an expression in her face which told of anxiety and disappointment. She did not notice the entrance of any one, being so absorbed in the thought. The memory of another May was alive still and she was living those early days over again. Until a man's voice close to her aroused her, saying with out further preface : "Molly, I came for the answer." Molly looked .up at him without ag itation, but there came no reply. It seemed to her she could not speak. The man continued : "Toil know, Molly, Eben is dead, for your last word from him that he was dying with the fever, and James brought vou the news from the Cali foruia mining camp five years ago. Surely I have waited patiently for my answer. What is it?" And the reply in a low voice was : "I will go with you. I've waited hoping against hope to hear again from Eben, but I believe now that he died at that time." A few days later, a ceremony was quietly performed at the parson's, and the shop was closed for Molly forever. A chaise carried the two to a distant town, which for many years becaml a peaceful home for Molly. After these quiet years had passed the man whom Molly had married died. His sickness had been Ion g, and the little money w hich he had possessed had been spent, only enough being left to give him a -decent burial. So Molly was to go in her old age back to Kinhope. As the carriage in which she rode slowly ascended the hill toward the comfortable looking white farm house, from the brow of which could be seen the hills lying about, and the pretty valleys between, with a mountain peak rising in the distance at the right, an old, old man, digging potatoes in the field, stopped j his work and looked at the carriage coming up the road. While he had been working he sighed often, and there came to him the memory of a young man in the springtime of youth, and in the spring time of the year go ing home to claim a happy bride. It was fall now, leaves decaying, frost soon to come. When he looked at the carriage turning into the driveway, he thought : "What poor man or woman is this, who, like myself at the end of life's journey, comes here to the poorhouse, to be taken care of by the town?" He did not see who alighted, nor hear the kind voice of the overseer's wife ask an old woman if the journey had been hard. For this was the first journey Molly had taken in the train, strangely enough. The overseer's wife, Mrs. White, made her comfortable and then going to Mr. White, said : "How. shall we tell old Eben?" '0h," her husband answer ed easily, "we will wait, and it will work about itself." The. great bell rang for dinner. Those of the inmates who were able to work in the field left their labor and after washing themselves, sat down to tha midday meaL Those who etill pre served any interest or curio&itjr cc-xr cerning what passed on about them eyed the new comer curiously. "Eben particularly felt himself looking again, and again. Not that he knew of ever having seen her, but he felt a pity that had never before been experienced, when others had come. Presently Mr. White said: "Eben, how did the potatoes seem in that patch this morning?" At the name the woman gave a start and looked at the old man addressed, but as the man answered, she turned away again with a sigh, and the mo mentary gleam of interest in. her eyes passed away. As the dinner ended, Mrs. White said to the old woman : "Molly, if yoa are ready now, you may pare those, apples for sauce." Elen went out saying to himself, "Molly, Molly," and all the afternoon one conld hear him muttering, "Molly, Molly." During the afternoon Mrs. White took the occasion to- say : 'Molly, wasn't your first husband's name Ebeh Eames?" As Molly answered: "Yes,' it was; he has been dead these many years," one caught something of the old sweet ness of tone, though it did quaver and crack. "Did you notice Mr. White spoke to a man, calling him Eben?" "Yes," answered Molly, without much interest. "This man once lived in Kiahope many years ago, when he was young." Mollv gave her whole attention now. "And," continued Mrs, White, "af ter living here several years, he went away, went to California, where it was afterwards reported he was dying. He did not die. After recovering, the luck he had been striving for did not come immediately, and determined not to return to his home and wife until he was rich, he remained until his am bition was attained. In all this time he had not sent any news of himself but once, to his home, and that was immediately after his recovery from the illness. This news never reached his wife. He returned to Kinhope full of the thought of the bright future, to find his wife had left Kinhope, married again. We have often heard him say : "How could I have stayed away so long for money, money ; I was blind. " But Molly had not heard the last sentence. With one gasp she had laid her head back and for the first time in her seventy -eight years of life, fainted. It had grown colder. Near the fire sat two old people at dusk. The man was saying: ) "When I found ye had married again, I felt that I was receivin' my judgment from God A'mighty for not bein' con tented with my lot when we was so happy together, and then I keered no more for the money I had made an' gave it away. Yes, and threw it away, an' when the war broke out, I listed hoping to die, but thank the Lord he kep' me for this last happiness. Some time after the war I grew so feeble, an' my money had nearly been lost in some spekelation, so I had to come here." And Molly, drawing her chair a little closer, laying her hand in his said just one word softly, full oi quiet thankful- ness : ' 'Eben. -Y'ankee Blade. Honey in a Petrified Tree. While digging a well on the place of Reginald C. Dunham, at Live Oak, Fla. , the diggers' pickaxes struck against something so hard that it was impossible to bring any chips from it. The object not being more than ten feet below the surface of the earth it was disinterred, when it was found to be part of a petrified tree, and the petrification being only on the outside an inch or two the trunk was soon split open. It was found that it was filled with a soft, sticky mass adherent to the sides of the tree. On tasting this it was found to be very sweet, of the luscious ness of honey, and at list it was decided that it was honey which had been shut up in that buried tree, it was impossi ble to say how many years. This was further confirmed by the discovery in the mass of objects, which, being examined, proved to be bees. It was a curious study to eto mologists to observe that the insects were identically the same as of to-day and the honey cells of the same struc ture. Mr. and Mrs. Dunham that night enjoyed a feast such as few sit down to, but a goodly portion of it was left to send to the Smithsonian Insti tution, while a quantity of the honey, perhaps of antedeluvian manufacture, was left in the tree where it had re posed so long, but after some hours of exposure to the air, which happened to be damp, it lost its tenacious quality and became slightly more liquid, or about the consistency of tar or turpen tine. Philadelphia Times. Southern Pine Forests in Danger, It is reported that the pine forests of Raleigh, Webster and neighboring counties of Virginia are in danger of total destruction through the ravages of a small insect which has appeared of late years, and is multiplying rapidly, and extending the sphere of its destructive work. Professor O. D. Hopkins, of the West Virginia Agri cultural Experiment Station, thinks that he has discovered a remedy for the pest. He spent some time last summer in the Black Forest of Ger many, and found there a small and prolific insect, which feeds on the in jurious ones, and is not harmful to timber. He has imported several thousand of them, and is now engaged in distributing them in the sections where the ravages of the pest are worst. It is to be hoped that his remedy will be successful. The destruction of its pineries would mean an incalculable loss to the South. New Orleans Piea- vune. amingw, Tongues. The beastly Vitellius, as Gibbon calls him, spent at least six millions of money I on table in about as many months. He invented, or his cook invented for him, a dish which he designated "The Sflield of Minerva. " One of its principal in gredients was flamingos' tongues, of which, I may add, both Pliny and Mar tial speak in the encomiastic terms. Dampier says that the flamingos have "large tongues, and near the root is a piece of fat which is accounted a great j dainty. " When Captain Owen was sur j veying the east coast of Africa his sail ors shot down hundreds of these beau tiful birds, in order, with an extrava gance worthy of Vitellius, to make a dish of the tongues alone.

When "my lady" now calls at the home of a friend who happens to be absent from her home ahe leaves a card of iron, which is now considered more elegant and more chio than the usual ones. This metallic card is of a dead black, on which the name ia written in silver, and are so thin that they can be packed into the card case in double the numbers of ordinary cards. St. Louis Republic. QUAINT HAIR DRESSING". All sorts of quaint hair dressing is coming in style and the more combs you can decorate with the better off you are. A few evenings ago a fair young bud was the recipient of a brand new Worth gown from her mamma in Paris. She was to attend the theatre that evening and she rushed up stairs directly after dinner to costume her self. Inside of an hour she was in the drawing room displaying herself to her grandmother, who said in answer to inquiry as to her granddaughter's ap pearance, "Why, my dear, you look jdst as I did forty years ago." Anti quity, picturesqueness and simplicity seem the keynotes of Dame Grundy's tricks this summer season. New York Advertiser. ACCORDION-PIiATTING AGAIN FASHIONABLE.

THE ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMAN. The modern young woman is as proud of her athletic tastes and accom plishments as her grandmother used to be of her extreme delicacy and weak ness. The modern young woman does not faint easily, she can row a boat up stream, wield a tennis racket with sus tained grace for hours, climb moun tains, catch the breakers or swim in the surf, ride a bicycle, perhaps, and in the privacy of the women's class in the gymnasium, she can run, leap, fence and perform numerous feats in her pretty and comfortable gymnastic-suit, which an outsider, seeing her in a snug tailor-made dress or flowing evening draperies, would not suppose could be among the possibilities. And with this addition of muscular force she has gained intellectually " and does not shrink from the same college curricu lum which her brother attacks. The girl of the closing years of the Nine teenth Century, who has been able to avail herself of the privileges open to her, is a thoroughly well equipped young lady, and the country has a right to expect much of her whether her chosen field of usefulness be do mestic or professional. New York Ledger. PROPER FOOO FOR BUSTNESS WOMO. A woman physician, eminent ' in her profession, who has made this subject a study, declares that at least half of the breaking-down and nervousness of women with occupations is due to im proper food, or, to state it more clearly, to the lack of a sufficient amount of nutritious food. Many of these women either board themselves or live in third or fourth rate boarding houses, whero food that is really appetizing rarely comes to the table. They take some weak coffee, bakers' bread, whatever of the hastily prepared breakfast they think they can manage, which, as a rule, is little enough, goodness knows, then rush off to their work. At noon they either club together and make a cup of tea, with more bread and butter, or else they eat cakes, tarts, cookies, crackers and the like, and then are at work again. At night it is no better. There is really nothing at the boarding house that tempts them, and if they prepare their own food they are too tired and spiritless to fix anything nourishing and simply aggravate worn-out nature by more , tea and bakers' bread. It would be a good idea if some benevolent person would take the matter in hand and furnish business women with suitable meals at reason ible prices. St. Louis Star Sayings. DEESSTNO BOOM DOS't. Don't unless your arms are white and rounded wear only a little puff on the shoulders in your party dresses. Have your sleeves made in one or two big drooping puffs to reach almost to the elbow where they will meet the long glove3 of the same shade. You will look quite as stylish and dressy. Don't if you have a pale complex ion wear a light gray or tan felt hat. because it -will give you the effect of being sallow.

It is a stybi which suits one woman out of ten, and the other . nine are simply foils to set off her . Don't if your feet are short andK' broad squeeze them with agonj into, the shortest shoes you can put on. If you wear a 3 B get a 3 A and see how much slenderer and better shaped your feet will look. Don't if you are a blond, brunette low. There is surely one shade of thai color which will suit you and bring out all the pink in your skin if you are sallow it would make you look white. Don't cover your face with one of the purple veils. Very few colored! veils are to be trusted as being becom ing, while black and white are always -in good stvle. Don't copy everything that you see is the fashion. Suit your own figure and face, and among all the varied designs you will find something that will give you an individuality of your own. Remember that the lovely ladies in fashion plates are all Yen uses, which few of us are. Chicago Record. CSS COLONIAL DAKES.
