The new sewer had caused as great an up­ heaval as an earthquake, and piles of dirt lay along each side of the ditch. Jagged boards bristling with nails were put in here and there to prevent a landslide, and the laborers worked in hourly expectation of a mud bath, if nothing worse. But Emil J-clini Hooper rejoiced. Up the highest mound of the loosest earth his chubby bare legs toiled,and on its top he laughed aloud. He felt as convinced that he was a general hold­ ing. a fort as Miss Rose Bailey felt that he was a naughty little runaway who would have a bad tumble. She stood and watched him as if fascin­ ated bv his and her helplessness. It was between 12 and 1, the workmen had gone, the street was deserted, and her dinner was growing cold. But Emil Selim looked as if he didn't ex­ pect any dinner--poor child--how dif­ ferent from her own kindergarten tots who owned everything from their mammas to their little tin banks If only some man would come along-- ah, somebody was locking his office door. As Alec Taylor slipped the key Into his pocket and stepped on to the side­ walk, he was confronted by the first serious question of the day. Gould he go home without having his boots blacked? But, he reflected, it was very seldom demanded of a person that both extremites should be kept shinning, and about his brain polish he knew, without any vanity that there could be no doubt. Wealth, family, travel had united to make him the most eligible and the idlest young man in town. His law office was a cross between a club-room and a library, and no client bad as yet profaned it with a tale of woe. But now he was face to face with what the old story-books would have called a female figure in distress. "I'm afraid he will fall," said Rose Bailey, without any circumlocution, her sensitive niouth quivering. Then her eyes danced at the thought of what a picture the rescue would be. "My calling him did not have any ef­ fect," she added. -- "Didn't it?" Alec Taylor said in a tone of respectful amazement. ' 'Well, I'll collar htm." And across the plank, through the slime, among the boards and up the western peak he went, and rescued Emil, not Emin. He set the child down on the side­ walk in front of Miss Bailey; whose motherly instinct changed to the pro­ fessional one as she saw him safe and manageable. "Why arefi't you la school?" she asked. "School-hus too full for a baby like me, teacher said," cooed, or was it chuckled the boy. "Dear me--1 wish I could--I am the kindergarten teacher," she said, turning t*> Alec Taylor. "1 suppose it wouldn't be fair to my pupils, who are little F. F. V.'s, to take a charity child, even if he is a Raphel's cherub and the Neapolitan boy rolled into one?" she inquired, deferring to the voung man. "We could put him in purple and fine linen and have him come in as a new scholar whose parents are boarding him ip town for the sake of lake and mountain air,*' Alec sug­ gested, with a shrug at the pools and mounds about the sewer. "I have it --my mother said yesterday she was sorry I was too old to buy frocks for. 1 think she would be particularly charmed with' that Casabianca over there," he said, pointing to a cloth­ ing store where the lay figure of a little boy in a charming suit stuck to the burning pavement. "Mother will be delighted to enter a protege at your school. You will accept him, revised and corrected?" S4< > yes," laughed Miss Bailey. "I'll take him in, if he knows the open sesame." She was leading the little fellow off now, and Alec Taylor was left a prey to new emotions. He wanted to help somebody. He reflected tnat he had felt benevolently towards the child before he had realized that the girl was pretty. It would be inter­ esting to see what came of putting that little leaven of gutter-wit into the mass of steady-going cnildren. And he could look in on the experi­ ment once in a while. Consequently Alec Taylor gave up his cigar after dinner in order to lead his mother through the necessary phases of feel­ ing in regard to the case. Conse­ quently. the child, transformed like pauper to prince, rapped at the kin­ dergarten door three days later, and looking up into Miss Bailey's aston­ ished face, said, "Please, Mrs. Taylor wants you to make me nice." "Come tight in, dear, and you shall make vourself the best little boy here," Rose cried, thinking to herself, "Nice. So that is her sum- mum bonum, is it? No wonder Mr. Alec Taylor is lazy and fastidious." But discriminating as well was Alec laylor, and now that he saw a bright, brave girl going energetically into a good work, he knew it, and he found it fascinating, almost conta­ gious, to watch her decided, helnful little "oavs. In short, he loved her, and singling her out with his atten­ tions of drives, tiowers and books, came in the course of a few months to tell her in his irresistible way that he was a good-for-nothing fellow, but would she have him? "No," Bhe cried, yet laying her two firm litUe hands on his; "I will not marry & good-for-nothing. I know you've never had any need, anv influ Ih» ntu* tsad of Golden IJiitt-- Sad Cream Cheeee. The area of territory included Within the northern third of Illinois and the sbnthern quarter of Wiscon­ sin and the whole State of Iowa, making about 90,000 square miles, Is destined, within a comparatively brief term, to become the greatest garden for dairy products in the world. Within this compact belt of land, extending west from Lake Michigan to the Missouri River, and bounded on the north and south by the lines marking the north and south boundaries of Iowa, are to be found all the qualities of tho. soil and climate which particularly designate tais district as the future garden for the production of the dairy, and these productions of these sections of the three States are destined to over­ shadow all others. These fields now produce corn, wheat, oats, and other small grain, and the crops generally compare favorably with those of the neighboring States. The farming lands are, however, peopled with a thrifty, industrious, and sharp-witted people, who are by education and ! natural intelligence keenly alive to all things that offer increased agri­ cultural profit to enterprise and skill.

But you are chivalrous and clever, and, Mr. Taylor, great doctors sometimes practice for the good of the poor-- why couldn't a lawyer?" "You mean," he said slowly, as If he faced a challenge -with dignity, "you mean 1 must win my first fee before I win you?" But she only said, "O.: Mr. Tay­ lor, you might be everything 1 ad* mire." And he went out from the gay, lit­ tle Kindergarten room where he had come after school hours intending merely to ask about Emil--knowing that the fair voung teacher had cor­ rected him lor his good, and daring to believe it was bccause she loved him. He stayed in his office closely after that meaning to take the first good case that offered. But, alas, fine chances come where business is al­ ready fine, and he soon smarted under a new sense of loneliness, for he had banished his boon companions, and there seemed to be no mortal ready to seek him as a guide, philosopher and friend. He became so blue that he limited himself to one cigar a day, and as he smoked that, whimsically felt that he was burning a family heirloom, since the money to buv it had come from his great-grand­ fathers. One dajr he found himself stopping at the bookseller's window to question whether he ought to lav­ ish money on books until he could earn a living for a wife. It was just at that moment that he heard a voice say in the direct, frank fashion in which it had first greeted his ear: "Mr. Tavlor, the Emil-Selims are in trouble. Mrs. Hooper was thrown from a wagon because of a hole in the street, two months ago, and broke her arm and the doctor set it so that it will always be stiff at the elbow, Just think, her right arm, and she can never bend it What can be done about it? for such things?" "Defective highway," replied Alec, i brightening. "Sue the city certainly. Sue the doctor, too. Mr. Hooper was sober when ho was driving, was he? And it was in the city limits? Why, yes, tell her she ought to'get several hundred dollars." "O, thank you," and with a smile Rose Bailey banished up the stairs to her kindergarten rooms. But her look had said, "I knew you could help me. And Alec Taylor set himself so­ berly to consider how he could win another such glance. "I have it, -' be thought toon. "Mrs. Hooper will need a lawyer, per­ haps she will retain me." He threaded his way up into streets where he had never driven because his horse shied at such heaps of gar­ bage and litteis of children, and knocked at Mrs. Hooper's door. Mrs. Hooper opened it with red eyes. She had been trying all the afternoon to sew a few stitches with her left hand. "Mrs. Hooper," mghn Alec Taylor, "you have met with a losd that ought to be made good to you, so far as monev can make up for muscle. That poor arm of yours isn't your fault,-- it's the city's or the doctor's. Now I'm Emil's friend, and you must let me be yours and advise vou to sue the city for damages. You understand that is what is generally done in such a case? It is time th0 street commis­ sioner was reminded of the size of a horse's foot" "Thank you sir, but the neighbors and Jock *ay the lawyers would take all the money if I got the case. Let bad enough alone's my motto, sir." "Your neighbors must have been up in court," said Alecgravely. "But, Mrs. Hooper, if I could get the case managed by a lawyer who would ask nothing for his services, you would tell me whom to call upon for wit­ nesses, wouldn't you? You'll come and tell the judge all about it some day, won't vou, if this lawyer asks him to listen to you?" "Yes, sir, with pleasure, but Who might the lawyer be?" Alec Taylor had gone, and in a few days had the simple case so arranged that with a brief hearing, the city awarded Mrs. Hooper $800. The doc­ tor, too, alarmed at the rapid justice that had overtaken the surveyor of highways, slipped a hundred dollar bill into Alec Taylor's hand, saying, "I was reading something yesterday in one ot our surgical journals that made me feel perhaps Mrs. Hooper'^ arm might hare been set so to be a trifle less stiff, if this article had ap­ peared in time. But if you'll buy her a dress with this, perhaps we won't bring up this case for the doctors to disagree over." Alec sternly accepted the money, though his long bottled-up energy longed to expend itself in making the physician feel that the arm of the law also was unbending. When Mrs. Hooper heard the ver­ dict in her favor, she hugged Emil Silim in open court, and said he was a blessed darling for having such friends as Mr. Tavlor. The only other woman in the room, a tall girl with a strong, bright face, came over to tell Mis. Hooper how glad she was, and Alec Taylor rolled up to the group. The reporter snapped up his book and left He was a newcomer in town, and did not know that he had witnessed the birth of a successful legal career. "No tid-bits to share with you," he announced to a brother scribe. "Old woman got damages for broken arm. Case was managed too well to make any fun. Dull morn­ ing." "O, Miss Bailey," Mrs. Hooper was saying, "I said the lawyer'd skin me out of most of the money, but I feel I'd like to give him half. Perhaps the judge will tell me who has been so awful kind." "No--no--Mrs. Hooper," Alec Tay­ lor said, detaining her. "I give you my word the lawyer does not need or want your money. But he wants," whispered Alec, forcing the reluctant yet loving eyes of the girl to meet his, "he wants a fee." Then, as tbe mother and boy departed, he added to Hose Bailey: "Can you give me any­ thing, dear one?" Rose softly stroked her muff with downcast eyes. "I said long ago, Mr. Taylor, that you could be everything I admire, and, Alec, you are every- thing I love,"--Farm and Home.

The central points in this great district of dairy production are Cedar Rapids, in Iowa, and Elgin, in Illi­ nois. So great has the production in Iowa become that a Board of Trade for dairy product has been established at Cedar liapids, to which the butter and cheese ot that State arc sent, and where purchasers from all parts of Iowa go as to a central market. The same exists at Elgin for this State. The sj-stem is a plain and practical one. In every county where the in­ dustry is in progress there are estab­ lished creameries. To these creamer­ ies the farmer within a few miles carries every day his milk, which is tested and weighed, and for which he receives the cash In hand. The milk is at once made into butter and pre­ pared for shipment and sale < The same proceedings take place at the cheese factories, wherever the manu­ facture of cheese is separated from that of the butter. The farmer sells his milk almost at his own door* se­ curing the price of it on delivery. There is hardly an uncertainty in the crop, as is the case in fphe»t, and gradually as farmers increase their stock of cows less of their land is de­ voted to grain. Each farmer will keep as many cows as his land will feed,the cows being carefully selected for their milk-giving qualities, well housed and skillfully milked, with the addition of as many hogs as can be economically raised. The revolution in farm manage­ ment involves a change in the culti­ vation of the soil and the variation of the planting. The best kinds of food, both for winter and summer, have to be tested by long experience. The varied forms of seed, blue grass, timothy, and clover, the quantities of root crops, and especially the cul­ tivation of sown corn and sorghum for ensilage,are all matters of intense interest, and to their careful study the tlairy farmers are giving the clos­ est attention, and are becoming en­ lightened by ripe experience. The cultivation of corn and sorghum for ensilatre, to secure a supply of green food during the whole season, is now universal; and throughout the whole area in which the dairy interest is spreading so rapidly there-seems to be no fear that the dairymeh will suffer any loss frstn a want of proper food for all» the cows they can take care of on their farms. --Chicago Trib­ une. • Rrtrt button.

No rain had fallen for many dp.ys. I was about discouraged. My boys were flying a kite. 'Dad,' they said, 'send up a message.' I took a piece of pa­ per, half of a sheet of note paper, and wrote on it; 'Will it rain? Henry E. Smith.' Then the boys sent up the message, as you did many a time when you were boys. Well, that mes­ sage went scooting away up. Before long a whole flock, or whatever you call it of sparrows came along. They spied the kite and the message away up there, and kicked up a great rum­ pus. They darted at the paper, drove their little bills through it time and time again, and pecked furiously at it Then they stood off some dis­ tance as if inspecting their work, and then they flew off and took up their position in a big tree.

When one looks at the ' 'star-span gled" canopy of blue on a fine evening he unconsciously thinks that the number of bright specks which shino to such a fine advantage against their azure background are beyond compu­ tation. Such, however, is not the case. Bring the eye to bear upon a certain section of the sky, with some first magnitude star for a starting point, and see what an easy task it is to count all those within a large cir­ cle. You will not count more than half a thousand before you find out that you have covered a goodly part of the visible firmament; in fact there are seldom more than 6,000 stars vis­ ible to the naked eye from any one j point of observation. A rare atmosphere may add a thou­ sand to this number, but a slight hazi­ ness is more likely to reducie the visi­ ble number by one-fifth or one-fourth. There are probably another 2,000 which are never visible (those lying around the poles), which gives us 3,000 in all that would possibly be visible to the naked eye With an opera-glass or a cheap telescope the number may be increased to 300,000, while with a large-sized instrument like that of Lord Rosse or the one at the Lick Observatory 70,000,000 of these worlds of greater or lesser mag­ nitude may be counted. The variance in the number to be seen with the naked eye, the opera- glass and the more perfect astronom­ ical instrument arises from the fact that some are larger, some are further away, while others yet are more brill­ iant than their fellows. There are only 20 of the entire lot known as stars of the first magnitude; 25 are "second magnitude stars," 140 are third, 327 are fourth, 960 of the fifth, 4,400 of the sixth, and about 14,000 of the seventh magnitude.

No doubt the brave Gen­ eral is suffering from a severe case of atavism.

Stereotyped Phrases. It Was a noticeable fact with me in the Police Court, and I have noticed it in the higher courts, that some at torneys become so accustomed to using certain expressions that they repeat them in almost every case they try; perhaps it is so with persons in o«hei professions and business. There were several attorneys who Used those Stereotyed expressions. For instance, one attorney--1 will not mention his name--nearly always said there wae not a "skintillia" of evidence against his client. It is presumed be meant "scintilla." Another nearly always included in bis speech, "From the pine-olad hills of Maine to the golden sands of the Pacific." Another used the expression. "A nigger in the wood-pile." Once when he failed to do so I reminded him of it, and turning again to the jury he said: "Yes, gentlemen, there is a nigger in the woodpile."
