MILLY'S MISTAKE LOWLY along the quiet country road, iast as the eun was sinking, came Milly Clare and Mr. Annesley from their even ing ride. The tall white chimneys of ; Milly 's house were iust gleaming into sight above the distant trees, and Mr. Annesley, see ing them, had said : "Let us lengthen out the few min utes that remain to us, Milly the evening is so fine 1 The sound of a horse's feet, rapidly approaching them from the point they I were seeking, caused both to look up in that direction. A gentleman, monnted upon a gray hoise, came galloping down tho road. Perceiving them, he slightly moderated his pace. "It is Captain Dudley," said MUIy. Yes," said Mr. Annesley, thoaght fully, "I see it is. He has been up at the house probably. Captain Dudley was the son ol a neighbor of Milly's father, a young, handsomo and somewhat foppish per son, whom Milly did not at all admire, but who nevertheless admired her Bin cerely, and who had been oi late a somewhat - frequent visitor at tho house. As the parties approached each other, Mr. Annesley, whom his neigh bor's rivalry did not trouble, bowed quietly to the young man ; a piece of courtesy which Captain Dudley re ceived with a silent and ceremonious inclination of the head, followed by a much lower one, marked by an air of deferential and admiring gallantry, to Miss Clara, while ho gradually drew his horse up almost to a dead stop. Millv.' on her part, merely saluted -him good-naturedly, and kept on be side Mr. Annesley ; and both shortly forgot him in their conversation with w each other. The hour they had passed together seemed hardly half that time, as Miss Clare's companion lifted her from her horse, at the door, on reaohing her Vr(a.

His voice had a tone, his eloquent, deep blue eyes, seeking hers, a glance of tenderness, that thrilled her heart with delicious emotion. "If you care for it, Mr. Annosley," sho said, while her heart beat fast and tumultuously, and her voice, lower than his own, slightly trembled. "I must be gone, Milly, now," he said, standing beside her at the win dow; "I must be gono now. But to morrow" he held out his hand "to morrow I shall seek you again ; and we shall havo our evening ride to gether." . Milly laid her hand timidly in his, with downcast eyes, and replied : "Yes, Mr. Annesley." "Good evening, then." "Good evening," she answered, with a smile.. She returned to the parlor, and sinking into a deep armchair, with the heavy folds of her habit still trailing about her, lapsod into thought happy thought for a half smile was on her lips, and her cheek still flushed softly, and her biown eyes wore a pleasant light. But she roused herself presently, and breaking from her reverie, rose from her seat, with a look of remem branco crossing her face, and the smile gradually dying away, blended with a half look of curiosity, half of annoyance. i "That letter John gave me just now -I wonder what can bo in it!" she said to herself. V- And going I to a small table beside tho window at which she had lately stood, sho took up a letter lying there. It contained an offer of the heart and hand of tho very elegant and ex cessively superfine Captain Dudley. Milly's lip slightly curled, with a mingled ridicule and impatience. Twisting the note heedlessly in her fingers, she g&thered up her hat and gloves that were left lying on the win dow seat, and leaving the parlor went up stairs to her own apartment. With her eyes still fixed on the note, long after the last word was read, Milly beoame lost in her old reverie. Gradually her hand sunk upon her lap the paper, unnoticed, uueared for, fell on the floor, The clash of the garden gate, opening and closing, was the only thing that roused her, at least. She heard her father's step below -heard him going from room to room, and finally call ing: "Milly, my darling, where are you?" Rising with a light, half-happy, half-regretful sigh, she left her room and went down stairs to meet her father. The great clock in the hall struck 9, as shV passed through and reached the library, where she found him. "So late, father I" she said, sur prised. "I did not think it. Where have you been all this time?" "Where have you been, Milly? re torted her father, laughingly, "that you 'did not think it so late as .9 o'clock?" , x 4 'I? Oh,, I have been in dream land," she said, smiling. " "And I well, wait a moment; sha'n't we have lights, Milly? ' Here comes John." "No, never mind the lights John, wo don't want th;m yt t this moon light is plcaeaatcr."

His glance followed her anxiously as skepassed in silence from the room. Shaking his head sorrowfully he turned away. j When she met her father at break fast she found him affectionate' and kindly as usual, but serious and dis posed to silence. The last night'B trouble evidently weighed heavily upon his mind. , This caused her the deepest pain. She longed to open the' subject then and there, again, to as sure him a thousand times of tho in noeence of wrong intentions; but thj restrained herself. ' "By-and-by," sha said to herself, "will be better. If Captain Dudlej asserts that I have encouraged him, I wiH lay my past conduct before them both compel them to examine it fair ly and then if they can, either cf them, point j out a single instance in which I have sought to encourage hiu attentions, I will acknowledge that 1 have been wrong in doing so." - The morning repast wa3 conducted in quiet. Mr. Clare, almost from its beginning to its close, was engaged in his own reflections. When it was concluded hei repaired to the library alone. And Milly went up stairs to her own room. But ten minutes had scarcely passed when word was brought her that her: father requested her to come down into the parlor. 'Instantly obeying thw summons, sho left her apartment and descended to the hall below, where she met her father, who was at that moment leaving the par lor. V ' "Milly," he said, "Mr. Annesley has come. He awaits you." And passing on, he re-entered the library. With pulsus sUghtly quickened, Miss Clare opened the door and entered, beholding Mr. Annesley, as she did so, standing at a distant window, looking out upon the lawn. He turned toward her. Wondering, she saw that hia countenancej was pale, serious, dis turbed. But he advanced, holding out his hands to her and saying only, in a voice of sadness : "Milly 1" "Mr. Annesley 1" she uttered, earn estly, with a sudden fear, all unde fined, overshadowing her sweet face, as she met him. "Mr. Annesley, you are grave, sorrowful 1 What" She hesitated, questioning him only with her eyes. "Grave, sorrowful 1" he echoed, in accents of pain. "Is it, then, amarvel that I should be thus, learning as I do for the first time that I have no place in your heart? You. could not have known how X love you, Milly, or you would know how deep, how bitter my disappointment is." His love ! I The sweet words sent a thrill of delicious emotion quivering through he whole frame; the soft, bashful color rose and wavered fitfully in her cheek, beneath hi3 sad, loving, passionate glance. But the timid, faltering, yet eloquent answer in her dark eyes was blended with a search ing, troubled, inquiring look. "He had no place in her heart I" For a moment their eyes met, then a strange light gradually dawned upon her mind yet, could it be? Half bewildered, 6he put her hand to her brow. "I do not; think I understand you," she said, falteringly. There wa a brief silence, while he regarded her with a strangely per plexed air. t its Vid, at length, "l it a dream, hen, that your father was with tto a moment since, telling me that, aner all, my hopes wee groundless that ott regarded me andicerenuy- tna you rejected the love I have bo long, bo tenderly cherished xor you.- he hot say thai you would not wed me.MiUy?-- . ... .

' How to Aroid Apoplexy, The medical authority of , Herald's European edition gave cently some practical directions the avoiding apoplexy. - This affection has been compared fo an accident caused by a tile falling on the head "an artery bursts in the brnin ; blood is spilled into the organ and ruptures it." But this can only happen when the arteries of the brain have been weakened or have become diseased by arteritis, hardening, scler osis or small aneurisms. The first step in the prevention of apoplexy is therefore to remedy any arterial malady which predisposes to cerebral hemorrhage. The preventive treat ment (when the first symptoms of ar teritis appear, such as vertigo, rapid fatigue of the brain, continuous head ache and certain visual troubles) ia thus described : . ; a t - It is advisable to ceaso all intellec tual work, pay careful attention to the digestive functions and to take at each meal a small quantity of sodium arseniato with a little potassium iodide ; furthermore, to take regular exercise without fatigue or exertion, evoidinz immobility f after meals, to partake only of simple and easily di gestible foods and to abstain entirely from alcohol, liquors or wines.

The nutritive value of eggs and the cheapness of their production are scarcely realized by the public It may seem rather improbable to state that when meat is twentv-five cents a pound, the food value of eggs is about yet this seems to be the fact. - A hen may be calculated to consume one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay twelve or eighteen, pounds of eggs. This is equivalent to saying that three and a tenth pounds of corn will pro- . I duce. , when fed to this hen, one pound of eggs. A pound of pork, on A F nnrtr nn tha contrary, requires about five and a third pDunds of corn for its produc tion. Judging from these facts, eggs must bo economical, and especially fitted for the laboring man in replac ing meat. Scientific American. ENSILAGE FOB DAIRY COWS. ' The New York Agricultural Experi ment Station has recently issued a bulletin on the valne of c0tn ensilage for feeding milch cows from which we extract the following: The average results Eecured in a large number ol feeding trials reported in this bulletin show that corn ensilage is a decidedly valuable food for milk production. In general there was found an increase in milk flow accompanying the use of corn ensilage in the ration, and at the same time an increase of the amount of fat, the percentage of fat in the milk not diminishing. Milk was gen erally produced at lower cost, and the cost of fat production was lower while corn ensilage was fed. Tabulated data show the amount of each food used in the different rations, the chemical composition of the rations, the amount of the different constituents digesti ble, and also the amount and compo sition pf milk produced. Smaller tables show the composition of each food. Attention is called to the neces sity of the larmer giving more than superficial attention to records of feed ing trials, for local conditions are so varyinglhat all generalizations must be modified considerably to- bo ap plied with individual profit. It is im portant to know what standard rations mov be calculated to bring out the grealest product at the greatest aver age profit. American Cultivator. CALVES AND GKAZIXG. Grazing is ordinarily desirable for cattle. It is not always best for calves under the age of four months. While the dam that furnishes it milk is graz ing on new tender grass, the calf is better dieted with bright, dry bay, if old enough to eat anything in the way of provender. The milk in such a case is strongly permeated by the grass and the calf requires the dry food to meet the loosening effect on the bowels. Dry oats ground and bran, equal parte, .mixed with hav chopped into fine bits, 'makes ceilehtTratiou xWes when the mill; ox. fronl3gras3" in the spring. It should be an establish 1 rule for the dieting of calves under three months old in spring, that the dams should have a daily ration of oats and bran if grazing, or tho calves must have if they will eat tho ground oats and bran mixed with hay. It is an advantage, as a rule, if both the cows and their young are supplied with all the dry, clear hay or bright oats etraw that they will eat during tho entire grazing teason. The amount required will bo small, as a rule. But the digestion will often be aided, and a tendency to bloat, diairhoea, and other ills will bo averted. The Btraw stack in the pasture has saved a great amount of troublo on many ttook farms. The observing stock breeler gives faithful attention to the wants of the grazing youngstcre.

To begin toiling early in the season you need to prepare the year before, either with a piece of clover to be cut early, or better still, winter rye, which is fit for cutting much earlier than clover can be cut and make good feed. Our staple soiling crop, Indian corn, cannot be planted with advantage much before the 10th of May, and it will take fully sixty days after before it is fit to feed. Miilet and Hungarian grass mature bc ore quickly than corn, but they require still hotter weather to develop rapidly in, and if planted as ear. ai it will do to plant corn, the crop wi!l be lessened. Winter rye can be grown large enough to cut by the middle to 20th of May, according to the Eeason. But rye is a very unsatis factory eoiling crop. Its season is very ehort, for, after it shoots up to head, .. the straw ! quickly becomes woody and unpalatable. At its best, it is not so good feed as corn fodder when in tassel and with ears starting out from its sides. If you combine ensilage feeding in winter with soiling in summer, the best plan is to put up enough corn silage one season to last until June, by which time clover can be ready to cut. If there is enough clover, pieces of this can be cut in succession until the early-planted corn is ready to take its place. On rich land four, and even five cuttings of clover may be made 4 n a season, each one to be cut just as the clover is get ting ready to blossom. If delayed much after this, the number of cut tings may not be . more than two or three, but the quality of the clover for feeding will be better. Boston Cultivator. THE AVEBAGE FAE1TEB S HRT. The day ought to be forever gone by when farmers undertake a thing, as we say, on general principles. The rule in the business world is to calcu late in cold figures the cost of an aver age undertaking, on the one side, and the advantages supposed to accrue on the other. But-how many farmers have we ever heard oi were , ever known to wonder even as to the, prob able cost of keeping a hundred hens a year according to the slipshod methods common to the ordinary farm? The man who never figures on the cost of a thing never figures" either on what he is going to get out of it.

If fertil izer is applied the year in! which beans aro planted, it should be such as wiU become available very (quickly and tend to hasten maturity of the crop. Concentrated fertilizers,! those espe cially rich in potash and phosphoric acid and witn a low per cent, of nitro gen, are best suited. Plant an inch deep in hills about three feet apart and the rows about four feet apart. dropping seven or eight bsans in each hill. When well up and danger from pad weatner and cutworms is past, pull out all but three or j four. Poles should not be over six feet high as on longer poles the vines run too high and grow too late. Clipping back the vines is unnecessary when strong fer tiiizers are withheld. The California practice of bean growing 'varies greatly in that the crop i3 not! infrequently raised from planting to harvesting without a shower. Machine planters plant two to four rows at a time, forty i M .T. A. T 1 m ... xuuuea apart, instead oi setting poles, the plants grow over and completely cover the ground.

The process of threshing by large steam machines which clean up from fifty to seventy nve acres oi Deans per day, nas more recently been adopted by most of the large growers in the (West. Such machinery has been on the market but a few seasons, and is therefore quite expensive, u hue all consumers wel come cheap methods of production. the average farmer should continue to plant a good-sized family garden.
