F»r thM next few days there were busy preparations in the old farm bouse. Mysterious doi'nKS were going M all over the hotise. Mother was fenstled oft somewhere every day to v4ait soane friend or neighbor in the flmnity, who gladly welcomed the dear kiad aoul and h«r perpetual knitting work. Father and "the boya," stalwart men ot twenty-five and thirty, wer? bu/»y in (he field and orobard doing up (be tall work. Janeit worked away happily all day, and wtiem at four o'clock Olive same home from the UttlH red-paint- ed diatrict .icboolhouae, she donned a Wg apron, put on ;in»r thijiible and *iewit resolutely to work in her own room uptitairs. Evidently something watt in tha air. Wedoeiiday morniing dawned bright tad olear, with that indeacrilmble crisi>- uess amd sparkle in the air that mak?.s Ootoljer a royal month. Olive hod asked the trustee for the day and he liad granted it willingly; Jaaet looking liko an aiiile blossv>m in her i)ink c.alico gown and .snowy white Api^ni- flitting about the house on light feet, seeinlog to be pverywhere at tfof'e. John and David w<M-ie urowtlinit iwth their Sunday neckties nnd i>oli.shingi their bootn to tlie very highest possible j •bine. The old folks looked on wistfully, but â- ilantly, wandering what all the com-' motion w.os al)out. Out in the wood;*hod fBlher confided j to mother thin piwe of news: "(Jin'ssi the children must be goin" over toMil- lotviilc to till) county fair. Hut it doBSJ aeenx kind o' curious they don't speak | about it." "That's so," mother h.vl made re- ; .tjionKe, "but n»bby they think we're gettia' too old to be took into their affairs," and she .sighed a little tremu- lous .sigh that told plainer then words the sadness tlhat she felt. Aimoett simultaneou.tly Olive's clear DontraUo and .Tothn's <Uwp liass came ringing down tins stairs, "Mot-her, phaiv) otigne up Vre a few minutes I" and "Here, father, f want you U{)Ktairs a little while." Woqtflering a little, but ntfver gue.'M- lug, thejr went upstairs together, and in tbe hall parted. What mother saw a~H she ftutered her daughter's room was a shHining, silvery mass of aomethinR lying on the neat white l>ed, a soft ami ijilky pile of material which gradually look form and shape until she saw a l>e.autiful gown, whose delicate laces in oe k and sleeves coanbined with the solt f^ray lint, made it look bridelike in- deed. "Oh, girls I" was all she oould say. as .Tatoet put her Into a chair and began to take down her little coil of white hair. "Dressing the bride," occupied, per- iiaiis, an hour, and when at last the toilet was aninounced complete, the faded blue eyes behind the gold-bowed g'laaaes saw In the large old-fashioned mirror a. Kweet and dainty pictureâ€" a beautiful-faced old lady with delicate heliotrope nestling among the lacee at ]'j&r throat, auid a tiny spray in her hair. A faint, pink flush of excitement had come to the withered cheeks, which made the old face a sweet history of wh.at it bad baea in its youthful prime. Olive and. Janet kissed her triumph- antly. "Mother, you don't realize how sweet and young you look I you have worn black so long !" and. "Oh, mother, we're going to have a wedding in this bouaa to-day, and you are to be the bride !" "Fifty years ago to-day," the old bride softly murmured, looking down at the thin circlet of gold that she had worn so long, and in her heart a sud- den longing sprang up, newly kindled, a quii-k and strong <ie»ire for him who had been her husband all the.se years. She looked wistfully toward the door aiid took a faltering step towards it, but juMt then it opened, and John and David entered eiiconing between them proudly the hero of the day attired in a tioB ^t^w suit of broadcloth, with a Ca<uve little poey in bis buttonhole and a lace lieaming with renewed youth and gladness. The ohildrsa were forgotten in the quick impulsive embrace that Lollowed, and. the long ki^s of love and honor and fidelity that had crowned that half i.eatury ol wedded life. That wa3 a day never to be forgot- ten in all the country round. Every- body was there.

Olive ami John acted as bridesmaid aud groom;»mun, looking very happy at the ouanplete success of their innocent loonpiracy. CongratuIaUona and gifts were many. The bridegroom seemed scarcely to need the support of his handsomely en- graved gold-headed cane, he felt so young, desiwte his seventy-two years, .»n«l stepped bUtbely and brlfkly about among his guests with his slim l^tle wife upon his arm. smiling and happy. When tiie dinner was at last over, David pretned wnnethlog into his fa- Ihsr'a hanflâ€" two tickets for the west- ern city in which his married son lived.

And OS the guests dispersed af- ter examining to their curiosity's con- tent the array ot sulx^tantial gifts, the young folks at the farm house congra- tulated thenuialves a.nd each other upon the wovnrierful success of their scheme. And as the train siwd westward over the shining rails, the little old bride sat in quiet Imppiness at her husband's side and looked at the flying land- scape. There was a sweet peace on the dear, wrinkled face, and a light of new- er, daejwr teuderuess in the blue eyes Ijehind the giiusses.

George HI. waa one ilay visiting a small town in the south of Kngland, nn<\ l)eing anxious to aee something of the country, took a solitary walk. He came to a hayfield in which there wiia one woman at work. Thfe king ask- e<l where all the rest were an'l w:is told that they had all gone into town to see the king. " Wlyr didn't you go too?" asked he. " Vooh I" she answered, " 1 wouldn't go three yards to see him ! Besides, they 've lost a doj'a work, anil I'm too poor to do that, with five children to feed." His majesty i<lipi>ed a sovereign into her hand, ami said : " When the rest come bock, tell them that while they were gone to see the king the king canie to see you and left you his [tortrait in gold to remem- ber hiin by." THE PARMER'S GARDEN. Who should wiwjy have a good gar- don, if not the farmer and his family, and yet It is too true tuat on far too many farms, says a writer, there is scarcely a pretense of one. I supiiuse there are few who do not put in a few seeds, such as lettuce, onions, cucum- l)ers and corn, but often these are sadly neglected and a crop of weeds is about the only result. There is no excuse for this, for a very small pioce of jround will produce enough of all garden delicacies to well supply one family. In [Janting a garden on the farm where land is plenty, an oblong strip should be selected and everything l>ut Ln rows sufficiently far apart to aulmit of horse cultivation. Modern cul- tivators can be arranged in a moment to cultivate wide or najrow. A won- derful amount of dainty relish may Ije obtained from a very small bed or row of lettuce, on ground thoroughly well fitted. Indeed, this ai'plies to every- thing put in the garden. We will sui>- pose the garden strip to )>e eight rods long. One row in beets will 8ui»ply any ordinary family, but ooa-half should be sown early for summer use and the other later for winter. Ueets andtur- nii« for winter Uiw are much better if not sown untii the ground is thor- oughly warm. Then they grow quickly and will lie crisp and free from woody fiber. A ronv of black ieed onions and a row of |jcai should be sown as early as the condition of the soil will permit, and others sown at intervals to extend the season. If carrots or parsnips are desired a row or (jart of one of each will be aufficieut. Tomatoes and cu'- cumi)ers require room and we uMially plant In bills,, giving roomi to get all around them. A row or two of sweet corn. i>lanted early, and as many more a littje later, will furnish the tahle during must of the season, and must farmers will have some i>ianled in the field that can t>e used until frost comes. One or two rows of beans wiil furnish a supply of piokloi, etc., and go far towards furnishing shelled l^eans for wint-er use. Such things aa strawber- ries or rasptierries are far too rare in the farmer's garden, but this should not l)e. A few plauln ot black caiis will soon furnish tips so the num- ber can be increased to any desired amount, and with good care they will provide plenty of l.-erries after straw- berries are gone. .Many seem to think strawberries cau only be successfully grown by an expert gardener The fact is th|»y may l>e bad in any garden as easiiy as most of the cum- miMt vegetables. Our system of cul- ture may not be scientific, but it suc- ceeds in giving any amount of berries. so we have them on the table three times a day for about three weeks. .-Vs soon in spring as new runners get well rooted we set out three new rows. In the first place, hs place intended for the u»w (ijat Is thoroughly manured with rich, well-rotted madture, and ev- ory few da.vs it is g- one over with the horse oultivaLor. This .serves lo thor- ixighly iocor[iorate the manui>« with I he soil, makeo it fine and mellow, an 1 every time it is gone over numberle.s8 weed seeds sprout and are killed by the next cultivation so that at plant- ing time it is cMniiaratively free from weeds. The plants are carefully taken up, a suitable hole made to receive them, when there is at hand a lail of mixture of half cow manure and half soil, stirred to a thin i«a»te. The roots of each plant are dipped in this mix- ture and immediately set in the ground and the soil well firmed around it. This coaliag on the roots furni.'<hes a certain amount of moisture ond of fer- tilizer which the i»lant needs at once to start the new growth. In a few days we start the cultivator l)etween the rows and keep them aKwoIulely free from weeds the first season Treated thus they wUl be ctmiT-aratively free from weeds the following season. If allowed to fomi wi(ti> rows but little can be done the second year but ^ull any weeds that nuiy Htart )iy hun^. I should have said we plant the rows four feet aiKirt and set idants alwut eigh- teen inches ai art in the roiw. .\s soon as the ground is frozen hard, the rows should be covere<l with some coarse manure. 1 like Iteet to take dry for- est leaven and bed the horses witli them, then take them with the horse manure and cover the rowH well. When the iJants start in .•spring rake the mulch between the rows an-d the fruit will t>e clean and nice. After fruiting lime the old i:Iant.s should )« mown off with a scythe ami any weeds that ma.v have grown pullrtd uj). By this means the first rows will lear even lietter the second year. A ne« bed or rows must Ije put nut every year, as it will lie found loss trouble th.iti to undertake to fight weeds after the second year. City leople can buy gar- den fruits xnti vegetaldes hut they do not com<i'are in freshne-ss and ilelicacy of flavor with those taken immediate- ly from the garden. WINTEK QUAllTEKS irOR POULTHY. To provide winter quarters for poul- try it is necessary to have three dif- ferent apartments to accommodate one flock of fowls. .\ building of .im- ple size with a parl;ition dividing the roosting ai'artment from tha day house or scralohing slied, and a good si/.ed yard well fenced with poultry net- ting. The size of the house deiiends U]x>n thd Iiumber of fowls ksii'l, and also for what purpose. Laying hens denian'<i more room than others, and to accommodate a hundred hens I would aot think of using less flooc Sixice than 20 by 30 feet. The amount of room dei>enils largely ou the local- ity OS to cliinnte. etc. Where the win- ters are severe and the fowls must be constantly confined for weeks or mon: hs, they demand mure room than would tie necessary when they cuuM comfortafily run in their yard a gooil part of the time.' The roosting house prope • need not be large, and indeed should not be large, as the heat of tite fowls In cold winter nights is economized when just the size to give the fo.via am.ple roost- ing s[)ttCB antl no mure. This room should lie couij-leiely partitioned off to itself at one end or side of the main building, and made thoroughly light, with the ueciessary ventilators, etc. There should he no more glass in this department than is ne<^'eauary to give sufficient light to allow the fowls to see lo get up on their roosts. We cou- • aider this very imiiortant, and when j you use but one room for both day i and night, which of necessity must be ; large, you lose this great advantage of warm quarters at night, and at the time most needed. I The scratching room or day house, which is for the purpo.se of confining the fowls in bad weathej:, should also be a good tight room, and not a shed with the south side ojjen, as we very often read of ; such on one is" better than none, but it doesn't i.ay to leave 1 one side ojien. when wo have gone that far with it. The south side should he well gu(>plied with glass, and if alKwit all glass so much the l>etter. This rf:om should always he furnished with straw several inches deep, so that when 1 grain is scattered in It the fowls will I be kept busily scratching for it, which gives them exercise necessary for egg production. PROTECTION FROM GIRDLINO. ^Vliere fruit trees are kept cultivat- ed there is little danger frtum their Ijeiag girdled by mice or rabbits if the ground is free from weeds or trash of any kind. Ijut ar<jund tJie edges of the orchard, says a writer, there is of- ten danger of the [lests coming in form the outside and doing their work. The greatest damage is likely hj oc- cur in orchards that stand in sod or in those near woodland. Obi trees seldom are attacked, but young one^'* should always receive some protection Where nothing but mice are feared the simiiiest and easiest protection is a bank of earth he*;.ed up around the liase of the tjee to the height of a foot. If this has lieen neglected a solid tramving of the snow around <h^ trunks wiil luirn the mice av/ay. Mecbanit^ means of proiecliou are the surest where there is trouble from rabbits, woedchucks, sheep or hogs Wire cloth, such as is used for door sin'' window screens, is cheap, effective an I quickly ai>plied. Cul in stri|ie eighteen inches long and six wide â€" longer if lo protect against sheep and hogsâ€" an I wind it around the tree, letting it ex- tend into the earth an inch or two. which will also keep out the Iwrers.

Washes have no a<haniage over thi- mechunical devices mentioned exce|it that they are more quickly put on. They are not generall.v as lasting and muiny are more or less harmful. Kresh blood is as harjuless as anything, an' quite effective. Axle grease has been recommended, also mooi, a common flour paste and asufoetida a mixture of throe gallons of limewash. one iiin: of sulphur, and a pound of copperas and doizons of other things. Field mice have been very numerous this fall, nnd I have never seen so man.v cai.s around the fields.

( llaw niiay af Tkryi Have We, Twa Htt» or Ose f Euro^iean scientists }iav«j recently Iven engaged in a discussion regard- ing tlie methods by which the sensation of pain is conveyed to the br.iin. Some of them have! held that there are two sets of nerves, one of wiiich conveys painful sensations and the other the sensation of touch. According to this view, when a tx>y bomps his head against tlie groiuid he receives twoimr presaions of tlie( event One is merely the sense of touch, while the other re- cords the pain. If one Idow is not bard enough to hurt the second set of nerves do not act. This view is combatted by M. Philliiie Tissie in an article in the Revue Sclentifique He holds that there is hut one set of nerves, bu* that there is a "pain centre" in the brain which in affected only by exces- sive sensation. It is well known that a boxer when in training, is insensiltle to pain from a powerful blow M. 1 issie explains how be arrives at this degree of resistance as follows: "The hooter accustoms himself to re- (*iv6 progressively more and more pow* erfuJ blows. And at the same timet as lie must himself deal blows, hehab> ituates bis cwn fist to iiain. He lx>x«s against bags, and little by little, as bis fists liecoiiie accustomed to soft surfaces, he strikes liarder ones. "Does he reach the degree of in- sensibility by education of a set of special nerves of jiain? Wo think not. We rather hold that he reaches it iyf a process of (isychic education. For 'tilm pain' should t)e only a word, b^, cause \ in training consists not so much in the development of his muscles as in the suppreHsion of pain, whicH would interfere with bim and prevent him from strikintT out to the best ad- vujitage. "Vow, mental t mining has nulliing to do with S|iecial nerves of iiain. This mastery over lain cannot exist without a. seriet^ of mental acts hav- ing relation with the diverse (lainfml .sensations of a blow of the fist." FIRST ORGAN GRINDER.

To these lishermen of the cold, northern sliores the countess determined to devote bee life. She liegan to patrol the stormy >x>asta i>( the Baltio ini her yacht, and soon .â- >im came to know almost every fisher- man's family for many miles along the niast, and. whenever she found thenl in need of food st:e fed them.
