he remembered that at his home in germany it was the custom sometimes to kiss a lady's hand and he supposed it was the paris mode to kiss her foot therefore he did not hesitate to imprint a kiss upon the fascinating foot so near him but he could not avoid saving i thank you madaine for this new method of in iking a lady's acquain tance it is much better and certainly niorc generous than kissing

can hardly be applied amiss put on at almost any sea son nnd in almost any manner they are highly valuable as a top dressing for grass lands for small fruits for indian corn applied alone and likewise form a most important ingredient in the compost heap twenty bushels of leached ashes and ten of uu leached per acre form a good dressing for grass lauds experiments at the maine state college farm show that ashes were more lasting in their effects on grass than any otlfer fertilizer applied the soil was a strong clay loam we have been general rather than definit iu speaking of the quantity of ashes to be used per acre before having been leach ed wood ashes contain about eight and one half per cent of potash but the leach ing takes out nearly till the potash pos sibly one or one and a half per cent may be left and some other soluble matters it is true that a few soils may be so charged with potash that crops growing on them will nol be markedly increased by an application of ashes of the quantity above specified but as also stated most soils will be grateful for their presence planter cruelty to human beings some time ago a poor man of faimily iu new york was sent to prison for

developed he looked like a back j woodsman being a bachelor also i 1 iiis toilet lacked that adjustment i j which a wifely touch or suggestion imparts and intensified his rural air ! but that mr beckley possessed in telligence was proven by his wide awake air and by the fact that hei had brought no baggage to europe except the little satchel now depend ing by a strap from his shoulder the honorable felix plimoot m p stepped out on the porch with i him l bon voyage mr beckley when you get back to america pray for ward us your articles in the spade ami hoe whenever they appear good-bye

him my love and the seedy man in grey walked away mr beckley looked after him in some surprise then turned and went on half a block beyond a voice hail ed him cab sir xo i'll walk replied mr beck ley the cabman dashed on and just as mr beckley turned back his head somebody stumbled out of the fog against him it was a tall spare man in clerical garb and ncctie with a sanctimonious air pray excuse me he ' exclaimed what ! is this mr beckley it cer tainly i.s how do you do sir how do you do ?' and the spare man shook hands cordially with him really you have the better of me said mr jo beckley : perplexed i don't recollect your name cowper sir cowper we met in ! massachusetts some months ago yon remember oh did we where was it at the horticultural meeting inquired mr beckley he could have sworn he never met the man before yes that was the time how is mrs beckley sir and how are the twins getting on i should like to see them all are they here in lon don *?' a liszlit broke over mr

go with you very well it's up stairs i see come on sir mr jo beckley followed him up three flights of stairs to a little front office where a clerk stood busily writing at his desk behind a long counter good morniug is this the office of the rio janeiry lottery it is sir i have a ticket numbered 22,222 please sec if it has drawn anything the clerk looked on his books it has drawn 75 2 shillings and he went back to his safe do you hear that mr beckley do you hear that look sir i only allowed my customer 3 shillings for the ticket the clerk came back with 75 pounds in clean bank of england notes and paid them over the coun ter where arc the 2 shillings we never give small change sir will give you two draws instead oh all right here make it four draws here are 2 shillings more a shilling a draw is cheaper than we usually allow except for six draws at one time said the clerk won't your friend take a hand ? mrtbeckley try a couple xo said jo i guess not i'll give you four then at the six rate this time said the clerk and he took the money a drum-like box was produced mr cowper put in his hand and drew out four invelopes each con taining one ticket he opened them and called off the numbers three drew nothing the fourth drew 4 1 shilling this is splendid luck beckley whispered cowper don't you want to try it i guess not said mr jo beck ley gentlemen said the clerk confi dentially i saw a remarkable sight here this morning a man came in and gave a hundred pounds and j drew a bushel of envelopes will you believe me — there were only two prizes among em ! well gentlemen after he went away i found that the j queen sent him here to try for her i i was sorry that she had such a poor pull but i could not help it we must be impartial and let luck go where it will all the ravel family patronize us and most always have good luck and i never knew such a quantity of blanks drawn out without a heavy run of prizes right afterward you are right about that ! ex claimed mr cowper with enthu siasm beckley we can make a for tune here suppose we put in 0 apiece on trial ?' xo said mr jo beckley i guess not t will anyhow said mr cowper he paid the money and drew twenty

mr jo beck ley retreated toward the door they followed him fiercely the clerk with club in hand mr beckley looked at them then out of an adjacent window upon the level tlio london fog was dense but looked through from the house tops was quite penetrable a policeman stood below on the oppo site side of the street jo bet-kley suddenly tl.r.w up the broad win dow do you see him ?' he asked point toward the officer i must leave you pray don't object or i shall jiave o call him good day cowper they glanced out into the street looked at jo beckl^'s brawiiev mus cular form and kept quiet although livid with rage as he stepped out in the hall mr jo beckley looked at the 10 note to his surprise it was genuine he came back and opened the door the two men stood confronting each other disputing angrily ah cowper if you visit america again come and see me we'll go coon-hunting you'll enjoy coon hunting i know the coon is an iu nnceut-looking animal but he is mighty slv !' he went down stairs

americans the women mainly eating more it is said than all the rest of the world combined new york has until reccutly made most of the candy but now boston is a large man ufacturer within a few years many small houses mostly french have sprang tip here and reduced the price materially boston has three large manufactories employing some 500 workmen and pro ducing over 4,000 tons of candy annually not more than one-fourth of this is con sumed in new england the remainder going chiefly to the provinces ofthe west boston makes altogether more than o.ooo tons lifting some-thing over 25,000 barrels of sugar for the purpose this city it is estimated makes about 6,500 to 7 dili tons which goes tn all parts of the union a good deal of if being it is said exported to the west indies south america and even to em ope it has been supposed that french candies were the best but we now make candy regard ed as superior to those ontside of bos ton and new york m.f much candy i made though the philadelphia make has considerable reputation we are not perhaps as a people so fond of sweet things as the latin nations bur we have so much more money to spend that we buy far more than they can the com mon people in europe eat very little con fections but everybody here eats a rood deal our children's tendency to iu.li g,-stion has been traced to the eating of sweet but this i probably not eon**ct we cat more candy than ever but the national health is t adily improving n y limes it is within the memory of some of our citizen when all the candy old in salis bury was made in salem n c by a mr winkler we think after a while tho confectioners here made it themselves the proccssis very simple and it might im made yet if onr confectioners would try mis bnis and her son william when the the latter was a boy of 15—18 years were very successful in the mnnu factnre turning e>at as pretty candy as we see in the shops now fred mowery saml fraley f b roueehe and antho ny bencini were the pioneer manufactu rers at this place they are all gone except mrs bnis business has changed very much since then and almost every thing in dm is now brought from the northern cities and o«r money goes
