MISS KENDAL'S FAN
She waa rather a smart young wo
man. He thought himself an uncom
monly smart young man.
Her fan waa aadly broxen. 80 thla
economical young woman spent the
afternoon before a |>arty, sitting with
her back to the light to five her com
plexion every chance, mending tbe Im
provident fan with a weak solution of
gum and water. Why weak solution?
Well, she knew what she was about
better than you would.
So she went with her estimable mam
ma. and ah* danced. She waa person
able--very-aod she had a taking way
with her wbeu she liked, and ahe bad
a cool bead, which U better than rubles
and sometimes leads to them, and.
though she did not have to live by her
wits, she frequently made them afford
various little additions to her toilet,
and that la no small matter to a smart
young woman. ►
80 she danced and waa sought after.
Aiwt presently, while ahe waa sitting
oat, her partner took bold of that guile
laas fan. In an Instant It was broken,
and her little cry of distress quite
went to his heart. Being rather Im
pecunious himself, young Schilling
knew bow difficult It was to raise the
ready coin at erery moment's notice.
"Doesn't half match your dress," he
said as she examined It carefully, say
ing she must try If It could be mended.
"Don't bother about it. I'll send you
another."
"How awfully aweet! And It's Just
like you to think of matching my
dress." Her tone was charming.
Then presently ahe went Into supper
with a man whom ahe had met two or
three times and knew v'-ely as one
knows quadrates of ca acquaint
ances. But It was only that eveiltng
she bad beard him described ss very
rich, and It made her thoughtful. This
was the young man with body and es
tate. He thought her uncommonly
smart.
"How allppery these silks are!" she
said as they finished supper. It was
a sit down one and of remarkable vir
tue. "Do you think you could pick up
my fan for ineT It has dropped down
at your side."
He pushed back hla chair and stoop
ed. "Oh, tt'a broken!" she cried, bend
ing too.
At that moment Mr. Gould lifted hla
head. There was a slight collision.
She blushed charmingly, and he held
1 lie fan awkwardly In bis hand. The
sticks were smashed across.
Then thst first young man passed on
the other side of the table. He took
In the situation, and be smiled an evil
smile. She bluabed deeply. Tbe man
of opulence stuttered.
"Shall we go back luto the lancing
room?' she s''d softly, but abe did not
put out her / id for the fan, ao he car
ried It. 1
"I'm awfully sorry," said Mr. Gould
for the second time when they were
In the corridor.
"It was an old friend," she rejoined
plaintively. "Shall we turn Into the
library and cremate the relics? I can't
liear tbe idea of Its being thfown on
the dust heap."
When they stood by the fire be of
fered It to her, but she shook her head,
smiling this time. "No, that is too
cruel. You did It, and you must burn
the poor thing."
"I'm awfully aorry," he said for the
third time. "May -er— may I not send
you another?"
"Oh, but this was of no value really,
l ean get one myaelf."
"No. Do let me. It was all my clum
siness. Let me have your address, and
l'U send you one."
She hesitated, paused expressively,
till, lifting her eyes to him, she mur
mured, "Will you bring It, then?"
She went home that evening and
dreamed of having sliver brushes with
the most elaborate monograms procur
able, hut the rich young man fatuously
couversed with bis old schoolfellow,
the poor young man, who threw hlm
celf In his way. So they becaa* right
eously Indignant together ovar tbe art
fulness of her scheming.
"Let's send her one of those Japa
nese paper things," said young Schil
ling. "Come around to my rooms.
We'll find one there and do It up, with
our kind regards."
"All right," said young Gould, yawn
ing, for he was half aaleep and easily
led.
So they msde up the parcel together.
But Schilling rather overdid his part,
and Gould, at tbe last moment relent
lug. pulled bis card out sgalntwhlle the
other had his back turned banting for
sealing wax and kept his own counsel.
After all, be was a gentleman at heart,
which tbe other never was nor could
be.
And tbe next day Gould sent ber a
lovely fan from tbe Burlington arcade,
for be was ashamed of the way they
had talked about her that night, and
he avoided Schilling, wboifc be saw In
the club.
Tbeu she wrote bim such a charming
little note! And then be met her unex
pectedly at church one Sunday. Three
weeks lster they wore engaged to he
married, and sbe bad three sets of halr
braidies given ber right off and did not
like any of them.
Young Schilling thinks bim an awful
idiot to have been taken In by a girl
like that. But sbe Is very pleased; sbe
did not want a clever uian at all. Sbe
has wits enough for both any day.
Sbe will make a very good wife for T
rich man, but young Schilling and sbe
would have swindled everybody and
come to grief in the end.—New York

HINTS FOR FARMERS
T%e General Parmwe I'ata Haras.
Veiy uihiiy of our niters get the
Idea that nil ibey have to lo Is to breed
their nondescript uiatvt to tbe leggy,
coarse type of so caIUM coach huraes
being |M>ddlcd through the country to
get the general purport- farm bors«.
I have seen hundreds of colts from
this kind of breeding and must say
that not ft per cent of litem are even
fair specimens of tbe general purpoao
korse, while 50 per cent or mora are
failures from every pojpt «f view.
I hare aeeu much t>etter results
where tbe coach stallion bas been a
finer and more compactly built one or
where n hackney or American trotter
of a compact smooth, muscular type
haa been tbe sire. These observations
have led me to tlie conclusion that this
tstter plan Is the surest one to bring
some measure of success in producing
the geucrul purpose farm horse.—

The hog has iieeu very pmpcrly called

Corn Fur Molting >■•••.
Corn i* generally assumed to be a
very poor grain for u-« In molting
season, but 1 have never lieeu able to
see that ita use had any real effect
on tbe time of molt It Is true that I
have nevor bail 1117 bens molting as
early ns some say tbey do and that my
hens get a great deal of corn, but as
compared with experimental flocks on
mixed grains 110 difference Is noticea
ble in general. It Is doubtful whether
tbe kind of grain baa much to do with
the tluie of molting provided the ra
tion Is properly balanced with bran,
olluieal and meat.-Homer \V. Jack
son In National Stockman.
Whitewash on Ihr Fara.
Lime whitewash ia quite generally
used on tree trunks and lu poultry
houses, says American Agriculturist.
No insects like to rest on a whitewash
ed surface. Scale and other sucking
lusects either cannot or will not punc
ture a lime coating, while If tlie wash
is well put on thoae thnt bide in crev
ices find these, tilled with disagreeable
material and seek other quarters.
Whitewash alone will not kilt scale In
sects, but If It Is applied Just before
they hatch the young may lie sesled
up aud their setting prevented.
The Wmvlbi Horse.
"Weaving" consists In a motion of
"the bend, neck and body from side to
side, like the shuttle of a weaver pass
ing through the welt, and hence the
name given to this peculiar und incea
naut motion. It Indicutes an impatient,
irritable temper aud a dislike to con
finement lu the stable. A horse thus
affected will seldom lie In go al flesh or
lie safe to ride or drive. It Is not con
sidered to be a disease, but utereiy an
Individual vice, and there Is no cure for
it that I am aware of.—Veterinary In

Saltlaa the Halter.
For those who prefer to salt out of
the churn the following Is the best
method: Remove the butter when In
the granular state, weigh It and place
It upon the worker, spread evenly and
salt to suit tbe taste. Sift the salt
evenly over tlie butter, pass the work
er over It. then run tbe bntter and
work again or until tbe sslt Is thor
oughly worked In. It niny then be set
away for a few hours, after which It
should be given a second working.

Oats For Ho(a.
Oats may lie a imrtKin of s ration for
hogs, but they ure much more satisfac
tory If they sre irround. Mixed with
corn, oats and shorts, they sitd mater!
ally to the value of any hog feed. They
should not constitute more than ona
fourth of the grain ration. A mixture
of eats and peas ground and fed as a

A French traveler has discovered a
aew species of ant In 81am, or at least
a new trait that he has never before
seen recorded. The creatures were
vary small, of a gray color and lived
In damp places. They traveled often
and In troops, which seemed to be un
der the dlrectlou of a commander, who
rode on "horseback." M. Meissen, the
Frenchman whs noticed this peculiari
ty, waa attracted to theae groups by
discovering thst esch company contain
sd a large ant that traveled more rap-
Idly than the others. Observing them
more closely, he noted that each large
ant alwaya carried a small gray ant
upon Ita back, though the remainder of
"the troop were on foot. This mounted
ant would ride out from the line, travel
swiftly along the column from head to
rear and apparently overtook their
maneuvers. M Meissen concluded
from whst be saw thst this species of
nnt while on Its travels'la under the
direction of s commander, though such
"ant horses" ss the general rides must
be rsre snd valuable, for he scarcely
ever found more than one mounted ant

these. One of bis Illustrations Is the
liahlt of the lion In always striking
with Ita left paw. l'arrots are prob
ably left handed, too. for they nearly
alwaya take with the left claw any
