‘No,‘ responded Thompson, shaking his head. ‘I‘m a man of my word. When you gave me ths bill, I eaid "I will return this to you,"and I meant it.

But it is not yet too late, and those haunting ghosts of remorse can never rise to trouble us, if we neglect no opâ€" portunity of showing our love and kindness to the father who is get ting old. E You remember when you looked upâ€" on father as a very oracle of wisjJom. Now you feel in the arrogance of youth that the world has improved and the new ways are the best. Confice in the old man as you used to do. Your plans are full of interest for him ; it gives him pleasure to feel that his opinions are valuable to you. Yes,and you will find to your surprise,no doubt, that his long experience is often more than a match for some of your newor, less proved theories. The time. will comeâ€"we pray that it may be many many, years henceâ€" when our loving impulses will return unto us void, when remembrances of neglect or unk‘ndness will rise bafore us like accusing spirits and overwhe‘m our hearts with the anguish of remorse,. The stream of life is flowing slowly and more stagnant. The world in its eager, feverish march is apt to pass the old man by. . As if the busy brain had lost its intellect,becauss the oubward frame has lost its vigour. ly. _*Well, then. seven months,‘ snorted Brown, ‘and you promised to give it back to me in a weekâ€"promised faithâ€" fally, you did, to return me it in seven days instead of months.‘ ‘I know ib‘ answoered Thompson sadly, drawing a memorandum book from his pocketb. ‘That bill was series F, No. 672,929, issue of 1887. I made the note, and then I spent the money. Since then I‘ve been trying to recover it.‘ ‘But,‘ howled Brown, ‘any other would do as well.‘ Those dimming eyes have looked on grief and pain, on the death of fond bopes, on buried joys and. resurrected sorrows, but for us they have been ever full of love and pride. ‘Now look here, Thompson," reâ€" marked Brown. ‘It has been six months since you borrowed that $5 from me.‘ Every line and furrow wbi years bave traced upon that face is a record of trials susta obstacles bravely met and overcome, of lofty purposes ca and noble aims fulfilledâ€"for us Abh !bhappy for us if we can look back and say that no act of ours has added one feather‘s weight to the ever increasing burden that has bound the strong brave shoulders. Happier still, if to us it be given to requite in some slight degree a little of the kindness we have been receiving so long. Lst us estéem ib our greatest joy to care for father when he is getting old. When in the twilight confidences of your own room, you reluctantly impart your discovery to the homeâ€"keeping sister, with a suspicious buskiness in your voice, she says it is all imagination andâ€"that he isn‘t a day older than when you went away. One day, we overhear some one speaking of father as old Mr. Brown, and our indignation is boundless. The purblind creature, who has made use of the misapplied epithet, hastens to assure us that he only uses the term because "now that there is a young Mr.Brown, one must distinguish ‘between them, you know." Bat we prefer that the distinction be made in some other way. Then the great wide world entices us from the home nest. We are absent a couple of yearsâ€"so long they seemâ€" and for weeks and weeks we beguile the lengthening bours by. anticipating the joy of the home coming. At lengtb the tardy train approaches the familiar station â€"it looks smaller than it used to look, and there is fether close at the edge of the platform. You have caught sight of him as the train came round the curve, and even ab that distance the alarming change that even two years have made strikes you forcibly and unpleasantly. "How father has aged !" you say to yourself, with a stray sinking of the heart. Silver threads gather faster and fastâ€" er in the dark beard where our infanâ€" tile hands used to love to stay; the erect form begins to stoop a little, and we laughingly tell father he must take a courssof gymnastics to sbraighten him up. The eyes, whose smile of approâ€" bation we prize so dearly, are getting a little dimmed, but to us they aro as bright as ever. When the father beâ€" gins to wear glasses when he reads the paper, we co experience & momentary shock, but soon it becomes quite a matâ€" ter of course, and we forget that there was & time when their aid was not needed. Scarzsely less startling is it when one suddenly awakes to the realization of the fact that one‘s father is getting old. The change has come about so graduâ€" ally that we scarcely realizs a change at all. The years have passed on in their implacable march,bring to us new hopes and aspirations, added interest and z:st in our pursuibs, â€"stealing from him slowly, but only too surely, the vigour and strength of his sarlier days, â€"but we are calmly oblivious of it all.

We have this to say in conclusion, which should have been said before, that in ripening creamfor longâ€"keeping butter, ib is always better to use a good cleanâ€"cut starter, rather than to rely on getting a ferment by chance, that may or may not be the one most wanted to produce the desired flavor.â€" Country Gentleman. In keeping butter in packages, they must be of the besb, and first well brineâ€"soaked, then lined up with parchâ€" ment paper, and the butter packed in solidly, and the package made even full. Paper is then laid over the top and then dry salbt enough pubt over it so that when the cover of the package is put on, ib will require some pressure to get it down into its place. The butter is then pretty nearly perfectly shut in from the air, and if set in a cool place where there is little variation of tempâ€" erature, it will keep fairly well, providâ€" ed it is made as free as possible from buttermilk, and brine has been made to take the place of this,. By any of these methods it is quite impossible to retain the fine arom& of butter longer than the life of the ferâ€" mentive germs when they have given place to their successors, other and more foreign flavors will follow, rangâ€" ing from pretty fair flavor down to the positively bad. At the beginning, butter to keep must be made from cream that is not old, not to exceed 48 hours old, and churced at the first point of fairly disâ€" cernible acidity. It should be moderâ€" ately washed out with weak brine at 55° as soon as the butter is in the granâ€" ular stage and the butter worked down as dry as possible without injuring the grain. The less buttermilk lefb in the butter tha better, and if possible one working is preferable to two. Keapâ€" ing butter is largely a matter outside of the salting, as ib is found that lacticâ€" acid bacteria will show vigorous develâ€" opment, even in s‘erilized brine, and brine does not check the growth of the harmfal forms of germ life; so that one has to base all calculations about butter keeping on a low temperature and shutting the butter as completely as possible away from the air. Salt does have its beneficial effect in this, that it tends to collect the moisture of butter into larger groups or drops, and in the working these are more easily expelled from among the fats. Saltpeter and sugar are more useful agents, and are used to some extent by housewives to keep the butter, but their use is now relegated to those who are not classed as good butter makers, and to bridge over incompetency. The preparation is made of saltpeter one part, white sugar one part, salt four parts, and the butter salted one ounce to the pound with this mixture, the butter presumâ€" ably well washed. Another plan, used to some extent years ago, was to take a new keg or barrel and partially fill with brine, made as strong as possible with boiling water, and then put the granular butter into little mus‘in sacks and soak them in this brine, of course after the brine was cold, keeping them covered with saturation, and placing the keg in as cool a pluace as possible. KEEPING BUTTER FOR WINâ€" THER. It is very difficult to carry May or June butter over into the winter months and have it retain in a satisfac tory manner its flivor and aroma. It may still be butter, but has parted with its chief charm that makes it a luxury. There are many receipts given for keepâ€" ing butter for long times, but there is only one that is reliabl‘e, and that is cold storage where the temperature can be held uniformly at 38°. A GRAND TRUNK BRAKEMAN ‘I don‘t think it is of much use, is It Must be Made Right at First. The Benevolent Person. TheAmerican civil war saw the greatâ€" est development of the military teleâ€" graph and gave to the world the exâ€" ample of its first systematic use. This was to have been foretold from knowâ€" ledge of the inventive and timeâ€"saving character of the nation. With us the extension of the silent and wonderful wires first assumed gigantic proportions and the efficiency of American battleâ€" field telegraphy still remains the standard, although more than thirty years have elapsed. Its value to the Government during the four years of strife cannot be told in coll type. One of the least of the things it did was to save the capital of Washington time and again. News of the first sbot fired at Fort Sumter was f1 shed toLincoln,and Lincoln‘s call for 75,000 volunteers wes flashed through the country by the three companjes then in ex‘stenceâ€"â€" the American Telegraph Company, the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Southwestern Telegraph Comâ€" pany. Lo 1862 all Federal headquarters were connected by wire with Fortress Monros, and the farthest stations of this system were just outside the Conâ€" federate zome of fire. From April 25 to Nov. 15, 1861, 1,137 miles of military telegraph was built. There were 106 officers and 163 operators. During the war the construction reachâ€" ed 15,389 miles and 6,500 000 messagâ€" es were sent, at a cost of $3,219,400. These lines were composed of insulâ€" ated wire, often wound on a reel, which was atbtached to the back of a mule, It was spun out or taken up as the tide The Prussians thus gained an advan:â€" tage of nearly seven weeks. In those our times the Government which gains an advantage of seven hours must be exceediogly active. In former days wars continued always for some days after the rospective Government had agreed upon the terms of peace, for the reasonsthab it was impossible to get the intelligence to the front in time to stop the slaughter, If there had keen wire telegraphy in the early part of this ceatury, thera would have been no battle of New Orleans. Now there is no battliog after an armistico has been made. «Jn a military sense, the development of the telegraph has been slow. The first attempts to communicate _ by means of preconcerted signals are older than history, The very first of these indubitably was the flare on the mountain top, and this has lasted through the centuries. On the night of November 1, 1889, eight signal fires on Saddle Rockâ€" Mountain told the country roundabout that the Apaches had jumped the San Carlos reservation and were on the warpath. Aeschylus tells us in "Agamemnon" bow the fall of Troy was signified by means of fires on Mounts Ids, Flermaeus, Athos, Makitos aud others to Argos, 350 miles away. _ The optic telegram, which consists of pieces of wood susâ€" peoded from long poles, and raised or lowered, was used by the Chinese thouâ€" sands of years ago, and later by the Parthians and Romans. _ Hannibal built towers for the workers, and used also a sort of accoustic telegraph.: The invention of the telescope was a boon to the optic telegraphers, and in 1684 Robert Hack, an Englishman, wrote a lenghty and profound article, calling the attention of his slow countrymen to its advantages. Ib was not until nearly a century later, however, that it came into general use among Earoâ€" pean nations. France, which has been always the quickest of that quarrelâ€" ling family, was first to recogm‘zs its advantages and improve it. In 1784 optic telegraph lines ran from Paris to Calais, to Strasburg, to Toulor, to Bayonne, and to Brest. It is charact: eristic of the Czar‘s empire that Rausâ€" sia began the construction of optic telegraphs in 1839, when England was tearing down the obsolete structures and replacing them with wires. Toâ€"day all warlike preparations are known. Spain was aware of every move made by the United States pre vious to the opening of the struggleâ€" and the United States knew of the singular apathy of Spain. 1n 1806 Prussia rcsolved to go to war. ‘T‘he resolâ€" ution was taken August 7, and acvive preparations were at once begun. It was late in September before Napoleon was aware of his enemy‘s intention. It is possible to overestimate the change in the art of war produced by the invention of telegrapby. Conflicts between‘nations have been immeasurâ€" ably facilitated. The time wasted in dispute has been cut down to a miniâ€" mum. We are now actively engaged with a foenman in a contesb which, under sim‘lar conditions fifty or a hunâ€" dred jyears ago, would not at this period be any further advanced than its initial stages of diplomatic remonâ€" strance and rejoinder, Before Morse and his helpers came to the rescue of humanity at the mercy of distance, it would have required two weeks to send an ultimatum to the Spanisb (Gavernment and two weeks to learn that Minister Woodford had given in his passposts, It hes been always reâ€" garded as an essential part of the sciâ€" ence of warfare to be forewarned of danger and of an enemy‘s moves, so that advantsge might be taken of misâ€" takes and surprises guarded against Feow men stop to think of the strands of wire running along the ocean‘s botâ€" tom which guard us like a shield, but the fact remains that, with the cab‘es working, Spain can do nothing of imâ€" portance without our knowledge. Not a single transport conveying a thousand troops can leave Oadiz for Cuba but that we are aware of it days before its arrival, _ As the telegraph hurries declarations of war, so ib expedites neâ€" gotiations for peace. _ When the Dons have decided to quit a losing game we will all know of it on the day of the decision.

Stuart, who. was nothing if nob a humourist, capâ€" tured Burke‘s Station in 1862, he lisâ€" taned for a while to Heintzman‘s dis positions, and then wired Quartermasâ€" ter General Meigs at Washington that the quality of mules furnished to the Federal army h1d been so poor of late, he found them incompetent to haul his captured waggons.

Mi‘â€" itary telegraph systems consist of three kinds of wiresâ€"‘permanent,‘ which are the lines along railways and main traâ€" velling roads, by which ths initiatory advance is made; ‘semiâ€"permanent,‘ which connect headquarters with the base of suppliâ€"s, and ‘fiald‘ lines, which run from the wings in front to headâ€" quarters. Theoretically, beadquairters are always in the exscb centre and to the rear. Thus the ‘field‘ lines back to it form two sides of a triangle, of which the advance line is the base and the headquarters form the apex. They took a long cruise on the gunâ€" boat to which they were assigned, but on returning to their native Cork were compelled to adimit that they bad not fired a single shot. "Thot‘s bad !" said Mike _ to his friend as they were on deck by one of the big guns. "The boys will be afther laughing at us when they know thavr niver a shot was fired on the whole cruise.‘" Then, after a _ moment‘s thought : "I‘ll tell ye, Pat, we can‘t go to shore with that record, so we can‘t.
