A CRUEL KTXDNESS*
The town had grown np to them ana
nlmost crowded itself into thoir front
door, hut they still lived on in the same
old fashioned methods of the past half
century, clinging to the chairs and ta­
bles they had when they were married,
even retaining the little squeaky piano
that had been Ann Maria.’s before she
married a rich foreigner and changed to
Anita Afarie. The cradle she was rocked
in when a baby, manufactured out of a
barrel by her adoring father and covered
skillfully with rose colored chintz, had
been sent np to the attic, for it offended
her fine sense cf esthetics when she
came heme to visit. The rag carpet in
the living room was the work o f leisure
honrs and had been in service twenty
odd years, and tho old man himself used
to say lovingly while he regarded it
with admiring eyes, “ YonTl never make
another carpet like that, mother!” It
was like the last painting of a great art­
ist to him.
And now the old people had taken an
outing thac was to last a whole week,
the result of a conspiracy in which Ann
Maria was chief mover, aided and abet­
ted by her sisters, who were married and
settled in the same town and whom she
was visiting.
While the old couple were gone, the
conspirators possessed themselves of the
key of the homestead, entered it stealth­
ily and began what they considered a
work of reform, which also was expect­
ed to be a delightful surprise to those
most interested.
“ Wo’ll get that dreary old piano out
of the way first, ” said its former own­
er, who had one now that cost a thou­
sand dollars, “ and tho old rag carpet—
it gives me a chill to see ir—and all
those dreadful framed photographs and
chromos—I have a few oil paintiDgs
that I brought down with me on pur­
pose to replace them—an d that red table-’
cloth— Sophie, do yon remember when
we used to learn our lessons on that
flaming thing? It looks as awfully red
as ever, doesn’t it?”
“ Y es,” answered Sophie, with a dis­
tinct sigh. “ I wonder if we are as hap­
py now as we were then, or i f our con­
ditions depend so much on surround­
ings—fine furniture, for instance?”
“ Pshaw!” said Ann Maria with em­
phasis. “ We must move with the world
or be run over. Here, take those old pea­
cock feathers and stow them away some­
where. I suppose it wouldn’t do to burn
them? I once thought the eyes in those
feathers watched everything! did. We’ ll
leave grandfather’s clock because it’s
genuine and a fad now in the best soci­
ety, and the older the better. ”
So they tore np and tore down, and
in a few honrs a really modern air per­
vaded every nook and corner. A pretty
new carpet—not too gay, but with a
pleasing assortment of colors— took the
place of the despised rag carpet. New
chaiis, a handsome rug, an upholstered
easy chair for “ father” and a modern
rocker for “ mother” supplanted the
long used furniture of the past, and the
faded old photographs were removed to
make room for smart paintings in con­
sistent style with the new order o f
things. A white mnrseilles counterpane
replaced the old log cabin quilt, every
square of which had been as an open
book for “ mother” to read. Other inno­
vations were made throughout, and
then the conspirators paused to look on
their handiwork and take breath.
“ That’s the first work I ’ve done in
20 years,” said Ann Maria, wiping her
flushed face with a real lace handker
chief, “ but I ’d just like to see the dear
old couple when they open the door. ”
“ I ’m afraid they’ll object to having
the piano out of sight,” said one o f the
sisters, ‘ ’ but they’re sure to like every­
thing else. Mother would never let me
touch a chair, even to straighten it out,
so I knew the only way was to take her
by surprise. Old folks get cranky about
things they have had a long time. It
isn’t good for them to make idols out
of old furniture.”
“ I should say not,” added Ann
Maria. “ Besides it isn’ t the fashion
now, as it was a few years ago. I was
really afraid people would think we
didn’t appreciate onr old folks to let
them live on among that old rubbish.”
The last finishing touches being ac­
complished, the sisters went to their re­
spective homes, and at nightfall the
two old folks walked into the domicile
that had sheltered them for 40 years—
; (he dearest spot on earth to them— home!
It bad been planned by their knowing
children that they were to enter the
honse alone to intensify the surprise in
store for them and enjoy each other’s
delight over the occasion without wit­
nesses.
But they, not knowing this, felt
with the sensitiveness of age a little
hurt and clung closer together as they
entered the dark and silent dwelling,
every step o f which was like hallowed
ground to their tired feet.
- “ I most wonder the girls ain’ t left
a light a-burnin for ns. First time they
.forgot,” said the old man as he stum­
bled over a chair.
“ You know, father, Ann Maria’s
visitin them. It makes a difference,”
said the mother in gentle, apologetic
tones, that were her wont when defend­
ing ’ ’ the children. ”
“ Seems right good to be home again.
Let’s set an rest a spell afore we light
np,” suggested the Old man, dropping
into a handy chair.
But his form had scarcely touched it
before he straightened himself out of it
and said testily:
“ It don’t seem nat’ral. It most broke
ray back to set in that cheer! Mandy,

From the Gold Belt.
W est Creek , Col ., Feb. 13, ’90.
Editor B u c h a n a n Record :
I wrote you some time ago in regard
to this camp, and now I am going to
give you another short article. A s'I
have received no less than three letters
o f inquiry this "week my last letter
must have been read. New strikes are
being made almost every day, and the
arrivals each day show that the people
o f the United States, as well as Europe,
read the papers. One day last week
sixty-five people came Into Pemberton
and thirty-seven to this, the city of the
district, and as far as the showing,and
indications are concerned, it is the
general opinion the greatest they have
ever seen, and they are here from all
mining camps o f the world. Some of
the old-timers are in ecstasies over the
outlook, and say i f they do not get it
here they never will get it. A new
camp has been discovered twelve miles
from here, but it is in the West Creek
district just the same, and grand re­
ports are coming in daily. The new
camp is called Round Mountain, or
Signal Butte. The capitalists of Den­
ver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo are
going in there very fast; not as many
as are coming here, but I think that it
will vie with this camp in a very short
time, though only discovered two weeks
ago. One mine, or rather prospect,
was bonded this Week for $50,000,
with $ 10,000 ctsh dow n f about eight
miles north of here, and several small­
er transactions were made in the way
o f bonds and leases.
Our town is looming up. in great
sh»pe. There are at the present time
about one hundred and twenty-five
buildings, and many more with lumber
in sight. Now the readers o f the R e c ­
o r d must not get excited and rush pell
mell, and buy tickets to the great Gold
Belt, thinking they can come out here
and pick it from the surface, because
they cannot do it. This, in my opinion,
is a deep mining camp, and like Cripp’e Ctceb, depth will have to be at­
tuned before satisfactory results will
be accomp ished; but it is here, and if
they don’t get it on the -surface th9y
must go down, down until they do get
it. Some o f the best mines of Cripple
Creek are down nine hundred feet, and
they have immense wealth, ore that
runs as high as sixty thousand to tlie
ton.
The weather has been rather bad for
the past ten days. Tw o heavy snuv
storms, and it is almost impossible to
get i;.to the mountains, though some
are so enthusiastic that they would
risk their Jives for a prospect, but I
prefer to go when it does not storm. •
I guess I have spun this out long
enough, not kno wing whether it will
be appreciated or not; hut in case it is
interestir g enough to your readers, so
they would like to be posted about this
country, I will occasionally drop you a
few lines and tell you of the happen­
ings of the Gold Belt.
Respectfully yours,

A Visit to Molokai, the Home o f file
Lepers. H ow these Unfortunates
Lives.
Molokai is the curse o f the Hawaiian
islands. It is their skeleton in the
clor-et. There dwells the dread disease
of leprosy, tiie oldest known aud p-rnaps the most ratal of maladies. Thei e is
no wed authenticated cure for it. F o r
some, reason Hawaii has become known
as the land o f lepers, yet one might
live in the islands a lifetim e and never
see a leper or even hear o f one.
On tiie north side of Molokai there
is a stiip o f laud which onus a sort of
a tongue, projecting out into the sea
some ten miles. This tongue of laud
is about two miles wide at the south
side, w here there is a precipice o f over
two thuu-aud feet extending across
tiie island. There is hut one place at
which it is possible for a human being
to scale this ellft, that is a narrow
winding path known as the “ Pali”.
This portion o f the island, naturally
isolated Irom the rest o f the world,
wisely select-d by t e Hawaiian gov-rnment. as a proper place for segi eaatu.g those unfortunate people, the lep-is. Here they live, s. me to a good

in Honolulu when the board made One
of its semi-annual visits. On ihe af­
ternoon o f N ov 29, Mr. J. T. Wateri.otise, tbe president o f the board of
health, told me over the wires o f the
telephone to be at the dock o f the
Inter-Island Steamship Company at
8:30 sharp. I reported on lime, and
found the steamer, Kean-hon, lying
at the dock with steam up and hissing
trom every valve.
Going on board the little craft, we
found Bishop Ropert with Father
Pamphile and the young priests who
were going to work as missionaries
among the lepers. Tneve were many
pri minent visitois in our party, amoDg
them, Mrs. H. Lewellyn Jenklos, dea­
coness o f the Methodist chuieh and a
member of Washington Square M. E.
church of N ew Y ork ; Miss Kate Field,
Senator Waterhouse, Judge W ilcox,
Dr. Day, and others.
Shortly after 9 o’clock the whistle
sounded, and our craft pushed out
from the dock and steamed down the
bay. It was too dark for us to note
<he tropical beauties along tbe shore.
Night in the tropics comes quickly.
There is no after-glow, no twilight,
ihe snn sets and it is dark. I f the sky
is clear, the s are shine wondercusly
bright, and if there happens to be a
moon it is almost as light as day. No
poet ought to sing o f moonlight beau­

the tropics.
Shortly after passing Diamond Head
the ship began to roll, and som e membtrs o f the party complained o f head­

Dr. C. H. Parkhnrst says that a light­
ning flash is brilliant to behold, hut ho
would rather have a candle to read by.
There are few lightning flashes and
many candles in the world. A “ bril­
liant” young man or woman isn’t such
an acquisition as some people would
have ns believe. The plodding’ habit of
dogged toil can accomplish more than
spasmodic freshets of enthusiasm.
The work of the world is done in its
workshops, not its talking shows, con­
ventions and “ enthusiastic” gatherings,
whoso enthusiam never, by any chance,
percolates into the adjoining street or
slum.
The girl who is plain in face and
homely of figure, but kindly of heart and
tender and true, is to be preferred by an
honest man for wifehood before her
dashing, laughing sisters, rare and hand­
some, whose dainty fingers never baked
a pie, whose hearts never bore another’s
burden. The light of the home is gen­
erally the quiet, humble, unobtrusive
sister or brother who is not cursed with
the waywardness of genius.
Beauty and talent have unequaled op­
portunities when combined with direct­
ing character. But the plan of nature
never intended that the many should
trust to them, so they are given to the
few. The majority of ns depend on onr
power to be useful— determinedly use­
ful—for our life’s value. And the daily

xne cocktail was the invention of
Colonel Carter of Culpeper Court House,
Va. Many years ago in that locality
there was a wayside inn named the
Cock and Bottle, the semblance o f an
old English tavern, and which bore upon
its swinging sign a cock and bottle,
meaning thereby that draft and bottled
ale conld be had within—the “ cock,” in
old vernacular, meaning the tap. He,
therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion of tbe tap was said to have re­
ceived the “ cocktail. ”
Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car­
ter was subjected to the indignity of
having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily upon the floor
and exclaimed, “ Hereafter I w ill drink

T he M ercenary.
The mercenary fighting man is a per­
son who seldom receives his due reward
during his lifetime or his just meed of .,
fame after his death. The character is
one so alien to the age in which we live,
it belongs so entirely to the days when
fighting was the only occupation for a
gentleman, thatithasforfeited alike our
study and our sympathy. Volunteers we
understand, hut mercenaries we do not.
The world apparently has grown to
think that fighting as a profession— the
bare trade of arms unconsecrated by
any sentiment of cause or country—is
, not a noble thing and-.should not, faow! ever ably and gallantly followed, beadjudged the highest praise.
:
i Possibly the world is .right, but we
suspect that change of system in the
training of fighting men has had far
more influence than mere abstraot hu­
manity in" creating this .opinion. . In,,
these days of short service and swift
wars the old type of professional fight­
ing man has become extinct. In every
country the recruit is forced through a
soldier’s education at high pressure and
returned to civil life as speedily as pos­
sible that he may earn money to pay forthe education of others. No man, unless
he be an officer, devotes his whole l i f e - .
time to the military calling, and conse­
quently the few mercenaries— the name
is too ignoble for them—who are known
to us in these later times are without
exception officers—Gordon, for instance,
Valentine Baker and Hobart. It wasnot
so of old, when the rule was once a sol­
dier always a soldier, and the only
school was war. Then few men dreamed
o f rising to command except through
the ranks, and many gentlemen preferred
to stay all their lives in the ranks or at
highest to carry the ensigns of their
companies. Veteran soldiers were worth
their weight in gold, and though by no
means innocent -of rapacity followed
their calling from sheer devotioij, to it
and thought themselves unlucky i f they
died in their beds.—Macmillan’ s Magatojja

As money is scarce and potatoes are
plenty, a Michigan correspondent of
Ohio Farmer tells how to make a first
class root cutter at a small cost. He ac­
companied his description with sketch­
es of ond^ he has used for Some years
with satisfaction. He writes:

tom at the front end and putting a
board, m, Fig. 1, in the other ond of
the bos.
The knife can bo made of an old hand­
saw or something similar. It should be
about 10 inches long and from 2 to 7
inches wide. If less than 7 inches, the
back part of slide may be made level
with tho upper surface of the knife by
a board. The knife, a, is fastened to k.
This is a board 15 inches long and
samo width as knife. A hole, h, Fig. 2,
4 inches wide, is cut in the slide under
the knife, the edgo being even with the
edge of knife, Fig. 2.
Tho knife is raised from the slide
about one-quarter inch by pieces of lath
and fastened with screws. The slide is
worked by tbo lever, b, fastened to slide,
as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by two stout
pieces of 1 by 1 stuff about Ginches long,
bolted loosely to the lever and slide.
Tho tongue on the slide, through which
the bolt passes, should be 3 or 4 inches
long, to give sufficient strength to the

The questions are often asked: What is
tho best preparation for wheat? Is shal­
low or deep plowing preferable? A
Country Gentleman correspondent re­
plies :
Leaving out all question of fertili­
zers, the best preparation is secured by
■early and deep plowing— not, however,
more than from half an inch to an inch
deeper than previous plowing; the fur­
row should be carefully turned so as
surely to cover every green thing. This
should be followed by repeated harrow­
ing, dragging, rolling, alternating one
with the other, and this treatment con­
tinued until the stirred soil is thorough­
ly pulverized and compacted down to the
plow depth with a fine seed bed on the
surface ready for the drill under gener­
al conditions of soils and seasons. This
work between plowing and seeding is
the most important part of successful'
wheat growing.

The lower end is inserted into roller, d,

A board, th9 size of the front end of
hopper, is placed inside the front and
extends down to the slide. This board
should bo fixed so that it can be removed
when it is necessary to sharpen tho
knife. The knife comes against this at
every stroke and is cleaned off so it
w ill not freeze if used in a cold place.

Years cf observation and experiment
have led an Ohio correspondent to adopt
shallow plowing on heavy clay soil.
Writing to Prairie Farmer, ho says:
I would, on such a soil as described,
place the limit at about five inches. Na­
ture is constantly at work elaborating
plant food, and the richest soil is always
that nearest the surface, and while lands
of virgin ’ fertility or those that have
been enriched like an old garden' may
bo plowed deep t o good advantage, many
clay soils w ill be permanently injured
by it. This is particularly true when a
sod is turned under, for the two forces
which make available plant food from
the sod are air and heat, and if the sod
is turned down in the bbttom of the
deep furrow and covered wiih seven or
eight inches of stiff clay, chemical ac­
tion is greatly retarded, and in some
cases instead of nitrates being formed,
which are of great value to plants, a
poisonous fermentation occurs, which is
harmful to vegetable growth.
It requires courage to advocate shal­
low plowing, for all farmers who have
black prairie soils, drained swamps or
alluvia] lands will scoff at the idea, but
all my life has been spent on a clay
farm, and I know what I am talking
about. 1 believe that when either ma­
nure or sod is turned under deep on a
stiff clay soil much of its fertility is
lost., ..................... .

CONCERNING ALFALFA.
John Dalton, without whose discovery
of the laws of chemical combination
chemistry as an exact science could
hardly exist, was wholly color 'blind.
His knowledge of the fact came about
by a happening c f the sort which we
call chance. On his mother’s birthday,
when ho was a man of 26, ho took her a
pair of stockings which he had seen in
a shep window labeled:
“ Silk, and newest fashion. ”
“ Thee has bought me a pair of grand'
hose, John,” said the mother, “ but
what made thee fancy such a bright col­
or? Why, I can never show myself at
meeting in them. ”
John was much disconcerted,"but he
told her that he considered the stockings
to be of a very proper go to meeting
color, as they were-a dark bluish drab.
“ Why, they’re red as a cherry, John,”
was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could seeanything but drab in the stock­
ings, and they rested in tho belief that
tho good w ife’s eyes were out of order
until she, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with the verdict,
“ Varra fine stuff, but uncommon scar­
let?.”
The consequence was that John Dal­
ton became almost the first to direct the
attention o f the scientific world to’ the
subject of color blindness. — Youth’s

; less seed. The objec­
tion son,.- ;; *.-a•iged that the drill puts
the seed in ico deeply is not well found­
ed. More seed is killed by being planted
too shallow than too deep and this is
especially true of grasses.
Alfalfa is an excellent food for milk
cows. It should not be pastured, how­
ever, but fed as a soiling crop, and al­
lowed to wilt before it is given to the
cattle. If pastured or fed fresh, it will
Occasionally cause an animal to bloat.
This may, however, be obviated by feed­
ing some hay or straw along with it.
Its nutritive qualities are superior to
those of clover and indeed to all other
green feeds usually" grown in this coun­
try.
Green alfalfa contains 71.8 percent
water and of the digestiblo nutrients
8.0 per cent of protein, 11.4 carbohy­
drates and 4 per cent fat. Alfalfa hay
can be'fed to any kind of stock. Here
in Kansas we even feed it to hogs in
Winter with good results. Caro should
be taken to cure it properly. If dried
too much, the leaves w ill fall off in
handling, and the quality of the hay de­
teriorates in consequence. The rake
should follow the mower in a few hours,
and it should be cured in rather large
cooks, and when cured it is best to haul
it while moist with daw to avoid the
scattering of the leaves. It is usually the
second crop that is allowed to go to
seed. The first cutting does not, as a
rule, set much seed, and the third cut­
ting is apt to be too light to yield much.

O. C. Georgeson, writing to Prairie
Farmer from the Kansas station, gives
information that answers questions fre­
quently asked at farmers’ clubs and in­
stitutes. He says:
Experience proves that alfalfa can be
sown at almost any time in the spring
and summer. It is usual, however, to
sow it early in April or even in March
i f the weather permits. It is e'ssential
to select land with an open snbsoil, so
that the roots can penetrate into the
ground. If the land is a clay soil, deep,
and the subsoil of an impervious nature,
it is not likely to prove good soil for al­
falfa. If sown in the spring, it is best
to select ground not too much* infested
with weed seeds. The yonng alfalfa
plant is somewhat tender and can be
readily choked ont by a rank growth of
weeds. To keep the weeds down mow
the patch occasionally, setting the cut­
ter bar so high that it misses most of
the alfalfa. Old, weedy ground can be
sown to advantage in July or early Au­
gust, provided there is rain enough at
that season to pnt the seed bed in good
order to start tho "alfalfa growing. The
weeds at that time are not so rank and
had better be kept in check.
.
As to the quantity of seed, 20 .pounds
per acre is a usual amount. On rich
ground which will cause a rank growth
15 pounds is enough, and on thin soil
25 pounds may be used. I w ill add that
I have adopted the plan of seeding not
Only alfalfa, but other grasses and clo­
vers as well, with a press drill. I use
an ordinary wheat drill with force feed
and cross drill the ground, putting .half
the quantity of seed each wav. In'dry
4 by 4 and 8 feet long to bind side beams.
For the bottom of frame get two pieces
2 by 4 and 6 feet long. The 16 rounds (8
on a side) should be 12 inches long, work­
ed down to 2 inches in diameter and must
be split out of tough wood. Make holes
for the rounds with a lj4 inch auger,
the first 20 inches from front end of
top piece and 4 inches from end of low­
er piece, and the others 9 inches apart.
The soles may be of any kind of green
poles, and are fastened on with three
1 inch pins, through the bottom piece
of frame. The clip to hold the front end
of the sole can be made of old bnggy
tires fastened on with small bolts. The
tongue or pole is used only when there
is snow on the ground. This can be
made Of a suitable oak or hickory pole,
and is fastened on by iron clips over
front crosspiece and under the second,
as shown in cut. The runners should be
spread outward a little! This is done
by properly mortising the four cross­
pieces into the top side pieces and is
the only part of the work that requires
much mechanical skill. The cut here
reproduced from The Farm Journal

Long before daylight the square is
full of ox wagons, some from distances
occnpiing days to traverse, and the buy­
ers of forage, oats, corn, mealie meal,
firewood, poultry, eggs, etc., are busy as
soon as they can see. Here the middle­
man makeB a good profit, often riding
far ont on the roads to get at the illiter­
ate Dutch farmer before the latter
reaches the market. Here is an amusing
instance of a bargain recently overheard
on the square:
An English trader purchased a wagon
load of stuff from a Boer, and by means
of a few figures and calculations easily
tossed off with many flourishes makes
out that the amount he has to pay the
Dutchman is about half of what it.onght
to be if correctly reckoned up at the
price agreed. Oom Paul cannot reckon
much, but has a Ready Reckoner and
points to and wants the larger amount.
“ What’s that?” says the other. “ Let’s
look at it. ” Then, “ Why, that’s last
year’s Ready Reckoner.
Look here,
man, it’s marked 1894. It’s no good
now .” •
“ Allamachta.” says the Boer. “ I did
not notice that. ” And he pieds off home,
wagon and all, content with the lesser
sum.
No expense is spared in high living.
A special fruit train is run daily from

the lots are all sold at auction, and Ma­
lays pile up their carts and pannier bas­
kets to sell iheir stuff from house to

land meat is dear and bread and vegeta­
bles cheap. In the Transvaal bread and

E o ir Mines A r e B o u gh t Now adays. "
The time has passed when mine pVdp,erties are bought on assays. The higher
the ore goes the more suspicious the in­
vestor becomes. A mining proposition,
to receive attention in these days, must
have a reasonable assay value, and must
stand the test of expert examination. A
low grade camp, it is said, is better in
the long run for the mine owner, and
infinitely better for a community in
which such mines are situated, as more
men are employed and more money is
taken out than in camps where the
mines are narrow and rich. This is
shown in the Coeur d’Alenes, where
over 60,000 tons of ore are mined
monthly to produce 10,000 tons of con­
centrates. Every one is benefited where
such conditions prevail.
Mine investors have become suspicions
because in the past they have been most
unmercifully worked by unscrupulous
mining meu and promoters. Mine ex­
porting has become a science, and it is
a difficult thing to improve upon a mine
expert of national reputation, and only
men of this character are employed to
pass upon a mining proposition the pur­
chase of which involves the expenditure
of large sums of money. — Spokane

Patronizing Infants,
A characteristic instance was given fit

tendency for children to patronize theiie
parents. A t a preparatory school the
ohildren were told to write down what
they thought to be the object of educa­
tion. One small boy wrote, “ The objeot
of education is to be able to talk for
your father and mother when you go
abroad, ’ ’ and another boy, doubtless re­
membering (he oft repeated reflection at
home, when he had fallen into some
scrape, that “ the holidays would soon
be over and he Would be safely back at
school,” wrote, with unconscious cyni­
cism, “ The objeot of education is to get
you out of your pareuts’ w ay.’ ’— Gen­

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have inv nted a great many valuable things. They
were the first to make brooms by machine­
ry; the first to put up seeds in little pack­
ages; the first to manufacure cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of cur­
ing dyspepia by resting Ihe stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker Di­
gestive Cordial. It supplies food in au ar­
tificially digested form and at the same
time aids the digestion of other foods in
the stomach.
In other words, by the use
of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspep­
tic virtually gets along without the use of
his stomach until it is restored to its natur­
al strength and vigor. A single 10 cent
bottle will oft-times give marked relief.
Get a bottle from your druggist and try it.
