He struck a match. The match went out. Kirby flung it far from him with a spirited gesture. He returned to his desk almost with the air of a camel who has just been burdened with the last straw. "So Clayton, my private secretary, is playing the market, is he?" Kirby muttered to himself. He sniffed a number of tlmee with great rapidity. “No wonder the tips 1 am getUng are leaking out." he continued, heatedly. Kirby again walked Imperiously to his window and looked savagely down upon the unconscious hurrying throng. "So Clsyton Is using my Ups. Is he?" he resumed “I'll stop him. I'll cook him up something that he can chew on for some time to come." As a philosophical reflection It might be stated at this point that when a man cooks up such a little banquet os Kirby seemed to have In mind, the cook sometimes finds out. when It Is too late, that he Is an Integral and vainly protesting part of the meal. Archy Clayton, Kirby's private secretary. was a dainty creature. His clothes were of the finest. His speech was very drawling. In every way was be superlaUve. He talked familiarly of hyphenated hotel* He pronounced the names of Parisian avenues with the accent of a man who is well acquainted and even slightly bored with them. Clayton derived much complacent contentment from the fact that he could wear a pair of shameless creamcolored spats without appearing to be conscious of them. It was evening. Tho office of Kirby t company was closed for the day. In the hall the scrubwomen were beginning to bustle imj^UenUy about. Tbe door of Kirby's private office gradually and stealthily opentd. Clayton Insinuated himself into the room, smil-

ing nervously.

In the semi-darkness Clayton's conspicuous spats could be seen alternately to rise and fall on the carpeted floor In a silent approach «o Kirby's desk. The spats stopped In front of the desk with a motion as though they were quite accustomed to this thing. Clayton took a key from his pocket and slung back the rolltop. He picked np a pile of Kirby's private letters antj.

his undoing.

i Calves and Butter.

It Is often difficult for one to choose between making less butter and having calves grow* less. Experiments show, however, that. If properly done, a cheaper fat than cream can be added to skimmed milk with good results. The trouble with doing the latter Is, that the food should bo warmed to about the temperature of the body, before being fed. and this heating is very often Improperly done. If the milk Is allowed to boll, the milk Is cooked. TTiot is undesirable. Some

The brightest strand In all that glorious warp and woof was Miss Alice Dsfield. She dominated the varigated fabric to an extent which made the other girls look like so many polkadots Archy Claytca dangled from one oC her silken thread* At times he fondly looked upon himself as the whole thing. At other times he glanced with s cold and calculating aye upon his good friend. Jimmy Banner! or..

Management of Hotbed* If possible the bod should be located upon a south or east slope with s building or fence to protect It from the north and weet winds. The soil for the bed Is usually excavated to a depth of about two or two and one-balf feet and filled with manure. Tbe manure should be piled and allowed to heat for a few day* and then turned bo fore being placed In the beds. It should be thoroughly tramped as thrown Into the bed. taking special pains to firm It around the edges, over the tops of this place four Inches of black soil. For the first few days the temperature will run high In the beds and no planting should 8e done until It begins to recede, which is usually about the fifth or sixth day. When It falls to about 90

In bright, sunny weather the plant* will require water r.t least once a day There Is no rule about this, however, and whenever the soil shows Indica tions of becoming dry It should be thoroughly watered so that every particle Is mole toned and no further water given until the soil needs It, rb gardless of the fact as to whether the Interval U one day. of three or four.— National Fruit Grower. Diseases of Garden Crop* Laat season tomato vines were" sud denly destroyed in some sections, although apparently free from disease Growers have had much to contend with in defending cabbages, beans. U> matoes, egg plants and other crops from both bisects and diseases, but occasion ally something appears with which they are not familiar, and before a remedy con be applied tbe crop is lost. The cabbage crop has been rendered difficult to grow profitably since the introduction of the white butterfly, and now a disease, which made its ap pcarance In 1890, and has spread until It Is a serious difficulty. It attack* cabbage, turnips and cauliflower, and Is sometimes styled as both dry and wet rot. The government, in its bulletins of experiment station work, states that on the leaves the disease begins with a yellowing near the mar gins, the veins becoming brown . oi black. It spreads from the margin to the stems, and from the stenra to othei leaves, or up and down the plant The woody tissuo becomes brown, hence the name of black or brown rot of the cabbage. It may be spread by the bite of Insects, or the plants may become contaminated through the seed bed. manure or soli. The remedy is to be careful of the seed bed and kind of manure used, the selection of a new location of cab bass every year being on advantage. These precautions will reduce the loss to a minimum. A Now Jersey report mentions a disease of celery, describing the affected leaves as badly blotched with brown, the dls cased spots having a watery appear ancc. The disease spreads through the leaf in about throe Jays and decay Is even more rapid. It Is believed thal careful and timely spraying with bor deaux mixture or some other fungicide will keep the disease In check. There Is a disease of beans which manifests Itself upon the pods in soft, water soaked, spreading spots, and the leaves and stems arc aimllariy affected. The disease attacks all kinds of beans, lupines tnd peat*. Spraying Abe growing plants with bordenux mixture and rejecting all distorted or wrinkled seed, so as to guard against introduction of the disease, are the beat remedies. Cucumbers and melons are attacked by the disease, the symptoms of which are the sodden wilting and collapsing of the plants. This Is due to the clogging of the channels of water supply of the plants by the extremely rapid sad abundant growth of the bacteria, which live In the channels and cause the disease, It being spread by insects. Investigators have suggested no remedy for the disease as yet. but may be able to do so after farther experiments.—Philadelphia Record.
