shivered again. ''What an escape!"
she muttered, pacing to and fro.
"But am 1 safe?: Will she betray

over her eves, then, as the vision
of Nancy's face returned to her,
she drew a deep breath; it was an
expression of convincing relief:
Derrick would never know the
truth from Crawshaw's wife.
Then Mrs. Darnley started, and
came to a standstill, Her quick
ears had caught the sound of foot-
steps running up the stairs. She
had forgotten until then that the
hour she had appointed to see her
Mil was near.
"He is Coming," she said to her-
self, and with a swift movement
she flung herself into her choir and
took up her book.
The strong eal'1 on her nerves
brought back her real self.
"How fortunate that she has
been gone so long! A quarter of
an hour earlier they must have
met," elm thought, and the next
moment she was greeting Derrick
with itsr usual cold smile, and not
a sign of the humiliation she had

"Can she .have seen? Can she

again and again. "But it seems
impossible. Who could tell her?

"I have been nearly frightened

as she ran to greet Nancy and
draw her into the room. "Dear

And. forgetful of all else, Janet
began to chafe the girl's icy hands
and remove her bonnet and cloak.

FALSE HUNGER.
A. Symptom of Stomach Trouble
Corrected by Good Food.
There is u•ithsome forms of stomach
treuble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken
for a 'good appetite." A lady
teacher writes from Carthage,
Mo.. to explain. hew with good food
she dealt with this sort of hbrtful
hunger.
"I have taught school for fifteen
?•ears, and lip to nine years ago
had good, average health. Nine
years age, however, my health bo-
man to fail, and continued to grow
worse steadily, in spite of doctor's
prescriptions, and everything I
could do. During all this time my
appetite continued good, only the
more I ate the more I wanted to
eat --I was always Hungry.
"The first symptoms of my
breakdown were a distressing
nervousness and a loss of flesh.
Tho nervousness grew so bad that
finally it amounted to actual nros-
tration, Then came stomach trou-
bles, which were very painful, con-
stipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous
headaches.
"The doctors seemed powerless
to help me, said I was overworked,
and at last urged me to give up
teaching, if I wished to save my
life.
"But this I could not do. I
kept on at it as well as 1 could,
each day gr'owine m re wretched,
my willpower alone keeping me
up, till at last a good angel sug-
gested that I try a diet of Grape -

THE FARM
Useful Hints for the Tiller of th3 Soll
THE 011eill'A.E.D.
Three years of spraying, pruning
and cultivation will bring an or-
chard that you are ashamed of into
a condition that you will be proud
of.
If volt think of setting out an or-
chard and have had no experie•ree,
better hire a good man to elesw sou
how.
If you can get a man from your
neighboring experiment station
you will indeed be fortunate. If
not, the ntry to get the man who
grows the best fruit in your epee -
The inexperienced planter thinks
he is getting a bargain when he
buys trees three or four years old,
but experience will show him that
yearlings are better and he should
never plant anything over two-
year -olds.
Always buy clean, straight trees
with short stems and oven then do
not be afraid to prune before
planting.
POTASH AND ITS USES.
All fruit crops and most vege-
tables where starch is a constitu-
ent part require the presence of
potash as one of the mineral ele-
ments of the soil. The only
known source of potash was wood
ashes when the value of this ele-
ment of plant food was first recog-
nized, but ashes now play' but a
very unimportant part commer-
cially, having been superseded by
the potash salts from Germany.
This does not mean that they
should be disdained by farmers
having even a limited supply, such
as comes from the fires for domes-
tic use, but should be carefully
saved and applied where most
needed.
Kainit is a form of potash ferti-
lizer which is extensively used as
a direct application, especially on
cotton as a specific to prevent
blight, and on coin to drive away
cutworms and rot lice, as a consti-
tuent of home -mixed fertilizers,
and is also an ingredient of low-
grade commercial fertilizers. It is
not the best form in which to se-
cure potash when it has to be ship-
ped far, as the available plant food
consists of about 12 6 per cent. of
actual potash, equal to 23 per
cent, sulphate, rho remainder be-
ing sulphate. and chloride of 1uag.
nesia. and Chloride of sodium, all of
little if any value as plant food.
It is best therefore, when a
high grade article is desired, to
use sulphate ur muriate of potash.
Sulphate of potash is suitable for
every crop and soil. It contains
forty-eight pounds of actual pot-
ash in each 100 pounds. It is the
right form to use for tobacco, po-
tatoes and fancy fruit and vege-
tables. The manufacture of sul-
phate i$ more costly than that of
muriate, hence the selling price of
sulphate is somewhat higher. Its
mechanical co ilrn
is the best of
any of the potnislr salts, it being in
the form of a lino, beery, dry pow-
der.
The rnttriato of potash used for
fertilizing purposes contains 60
pounds of actual potash in each
100 pounds, a higher per cont. of
actual .plant food than is furnish-
ed. It is suitable for .all crops
oycapt tobacco, potatoes and a few
fruits and vegetables raised for
exhibition-urposes. It can be ap-
plied long in aclvniree of planting
the crop without da:ager of loss by
leaching. 1t is suitable for use on
swamp -land, and a pound of real
potash in this forth costs less than
in any outer. At the low cost of
wise on the farmer's part to "get
a plenty while getting it."
This is also true in applying pot -
Y ash; use plenty, for it unites with

combinations which are availabl
for plant food, but are not quit
so foluble in water as the potas
alone. Of course in sandy soil
the loss of any plant food is great
er than in soils of a clayey nature
hence the former soils must be fer
tilized mostly for present need
unless care is taken to apply barn
yard manure or to otherwise ill

of, and which is so easily prevent-

It is an itemized statement of

The gross weight is that of the
car and contents as shown by the
track scales; the tare is the weiiht
of the car, which is stencilled ah a
lower corner of the outside of the
car, grid the net weight the differ-
enee between the two.
Upon many lines only ono form
of waybill is used. On othere there
are many varieties. Live stock
way bills, for example, aro often
longer by some four inches than
the ordinary kind and are on dif-
ferent colored paper. This is to
prevent their being overlooked.
Live stock must be fed and water-
ed in transit at stated intervals
and if this is not attended to ser-
ious consequences for everybody
concerned are quite certain. Per-
ishable freight, ore, coal, coke, and
other things that can be moved by
the trainload have special forms
and sizes of bills.
The conditions under which pro-
perty is shipped mupt be carefully
recorded on the waylti11„ such as
"owner's risk," carrier's risk,"
"released," "strapped, corded and
scaled," "knocked down," "set
up," and so on. These are much
abbreviated, "K. D.," being used
for "knocked down," and "S U."
for "set up."
The possession of an original bill
of lading by a properly identified
individual establishes that persou's
right to claim the property it cov-
ers when it reaches its destination..
The original bill of lading is there-
upon surrendered to the railroad
company, the charges paid and
the cansignor removes the goods,
That is the reason why certain
classes of bills of lading are used
as collateral upon which to borrow
money, they being indorsed in that
event as a bank draft would be..
Certain classes of bills of lading
are negotiable—that is, they may
be bought and sold, the title or
ownership of the property covered
passing to the person who buys the
bill of -lading, and to whom it is
therefore indorsed.
It was Abraham Lincoln who
gave popularity to the Protectioa-
Let side of the tariff question when
he said:—"=When we buy goods
abroad we get the goods and the
foreigner gets the motley; but
when We, buy goods at home we
get back the goods and the
money." This sound philosophy
characterizes another of the late
President's famous homilies:
"The farmer and the manufac-
turer," the president once said,
with his ohaacteristic shrewdness,
"are both in the same boat and I
reckon they've got to learn to na-
vigate the craft together or they'll
upset." "He compared the case
of a Pennsylvania farmer," con-
tinues the historian in question,
"and a Pennsylvania iron imple-
ment maker whose properties ad-
joined. Under a m'otective policy
the farmer sunnlied the ironmak-
er with bread, meat vegetables.
fruit, fodder for horses, etc. and
the ironmaker supplied the farmer
with all the iron, iron implements,
etc„ which he needed. Assuming
that a, change is made and the
Protective polios abandoned, the
farmer then discovers that he can
buy his iron implements cheaper
from Europe than from his neigh-
bor, assuming that he sells a suf-
ficient quantity of flour in Europe
to enable him to effect the nur-
chaso of the iron. he ultimately
discovers that the cost of carriage
to the coast, transportation by sea
to England, insurance and cartage
on arrival, does not enable him to
receive such a good reward for his
labor as he formerly did when sel-
ling his flour to his neighbor, tho
ironmaker, He therefore, deter-
mines to sell his flour as before to
his neighbor. But meantime the
farmer discovers that while he has
been purchasing his iron imple-
ments from Euro pe his neighbor,
the ironmaker, has been compelled
to stop his works and dismiss his
employees not having sufficient
work for thein. The farmer, there-
fore, now finds that ho has more
wheat than he knows what to do
with ; also, that he is no longer
