MAN'S MASTERPIECE. Through countless ages on the earth there wrought A race called man, which 6trove ihmI hoped and dreamed; A.nd those there were who sang, and those who taught, And those who whispered of the lost redeemed. And as they came and went they tmildod here A structure marvelous that no man planned, '. . " " " ' A towering temple, rising white and sheer Where sea-lapped mountains frown upon the land. .,' , On through its portals, ever moving; passed Si A The generations, nddlne to Itp, store ,', Of all that's beautiful, until ht last- "" To those who', gazed, there seqmed no room for more. ' .'a? " ' Not all in peace had this proud panc?t grown,, f vi t- For in its shadow men nao; warred onu died; - And, falling there, had seen the e'T flown i That, erstwhile glonmimj,' filled their hearts with pride. .. But ever hopeful, as the ages cried From out the , ages to the race that wrought, ,;." ' They builded then anew, and, side by side, Carved what they dreamed and writ there what they thought. And so on earth man through the aeons Btrove To make this palace notrter to the eye, And worthy, as the casket of his love, To tell his glory to the bye-and-bye. And some day lonely on a lonely earth, The last man sleeping where his fathers sleep. This wondrous thing that in man's soul had birth Shall rise iu Bilence by the moaning 1 deep; A temple, made for dust-worms, of a race That camo and went, and dreamed its dream and died; And, crumbling there, shall fall to earth again, The mausoleum of man's love and pride.

"Of course you heard that the Imnli was robbed." "I did; but it was two or threo days before iny arrival." "That was lucky for you." "Why so?" "Because every person who has passed through the place within a fort night previous to the robbery has been suspected of the crime. You wouldn't take me for a bank robber, 1 presume'" "Certainly uot." "Yet I am certain that suspicion rested upon me, though 1 was not open ly charged with the crime." "Impossible!" "I think so. It was decidedly annoy ing to bo suspected of such an offence." "Well, 1 dou't know; If a man is Inno cent, why should he can1?" "True; but it Is an uncomfortable feeling." "I don't feel so." "Sometimes, you know, clrcustnnees give a eolor to such suspicions. For ex ample, one having a great deal of money about him, might tlnd himself the possessor of some bills of this very bank that has beeu robbotl. Of course they are scattered all over the coun try." "Very true; I doubt not I have some of the bills of the I', hank." "I know that I have." I pulled out my poeketbook and found I had about 513 of the money. Captain Ford also produced two $30 bills. "I got a hundred-dollar bill changed In Cumberland, and received these DOtOH." After this conversation we went out upon the . gallery uud smoked a cigar; but the night was too dark and damp to remain outside, and we re turned to the cabin. As wp entered the sniooa, I noticed that a rough-looking fellow, who had followed us out, was close "Upon our heels as we returned. He seemed to take no special notice of ns, though I observed that he placed himself very near us. The captain and myself' had some further conversation in regard to the bank, which,, however, was introduced by me.

I entered the room and closed the door, but had scarcely done so before It was rather rudely pushed open again, and I discovered the form of the rough-looking fellow standing at my side.

Manslaughter Is a penal offense, but man laughter Isut seel Mm Bt Preventive of Srant pmut ls'anneying to farmers, aa It not ly causes loss but comnels one to cJase using the seed from his crop, which may be.of sornS Valuable variety. S damaging has been Smut on all kinds grain that tlie 'Agriculthral Depart ment lias issuetl. a. special bulletin on tlije subjwt, , The. loss of grain from s:nut In tills couiiTry is very large, and y tlie matter lias- received but little attention. Smut is caused by minute parasiUc fungi, the spores or seed-like bodies ot which form the black, dusty maes which takes the place of the ker nels or the entire head. These spores are very minute, and are easily blown atiout, often adhering to the kernel be fore it Is planted, and when such ker nels sprout the spores also germinate and send delicate threads Into the young seedlings. Thqse threads follow the growth of the plant, fill the head as soon as formed, and there develop a mass of spores Instead of kernels. This black mass Is so well known as to be recognized by every fanner who has grown grain, but many farmers may not be aware of tho fact that every ear of corn containing smut is a menace to the grain crop of next year. All such stalks should bo cut out and burned on the first sign of smut, and whore oats, barley, wheat or any small grain is af fected seriously It will sometimes pay to mow the crop and burn it Good Clod Crnsher.

' " ' ' Penna Among Corn. f uccotash was on original Indian dlsliando the Indians wo probably owe the practice of growing corn and loans interspersed in the same field. Usually when the early planted corn falls, a hill of beans is placed In the va cancy where tlie corn should liave boon. Still another way of growing beans among corn Is to wait uutfl near July, and then plant hills between every hill of com, and thereafter cultivate only In the rows that are free from tho lonns. Oh good hind a considerable crop of lnans may thus be grown, and without interfering with the corn crop. We have tried this plan when we were liv ing in a city, where all our gardening had to bo done on a city lot, and it was necessary to make the land produce ns much as it could bo made to do. Amer ican Cultivator. For Unruly Horned Animals. Fasten a stout stick about six feet long to the horns,, allowing it to project equally on either side of tho head. Per pendicular to this pluce a stick four feet long and fasten It to the lower part of tho head by means of the ring In the bull's nose, or In the case of any other animal a strap Just back of the muzzle. Bind tho sticks securely together where they cross. Place ropes ,ln the three ends, get bohlud tho aidmal, nnd he can bo'easlly managed, ns great leverage is secured. If he tries to run straight to coxmoL vsuri.T animals. ahead pulling on the upright will throw the head up In the air. Orange Judd Farmer. Pome Kemcdlea, Clarence Ilawley, of Illinois, says he has tried two remedies that have never failed to his knowledge. He says; "For scours In calves take corncobs and chop them up about lVb or 2 Inches long, put thorn In a kettle on tho stove and stoop them until you get the tea out of them. Put It In a long-necked bottle nnd pour It down the calf's throat It will stop the scours nnd will not hurt them. It will uot hurt a young colt, but will stop the scours at once. Hogs' lard will take warts off horses. Apply It once a day for a short tune. Movable Itenhonsco. The great evils of vermin and disease among poultry are best combated by ketuilng small tlocki of hens, and bous 1 mmwZ5k ing them In a number of henhouses made small enough to be easily moved from one place to another. Such houses need not be expensive, and if a stone boat Is fitted with a broad platform the henhouse may be placed on It and drawn anywhere on the farm. Wher ever Insect enemies are depredating, it is well to place several of these hen houses near-by, and let them help clear away the vermin, and also be getting the larger part of their living. It may require that a yard be built up so as to. keep the fowls from straying too far. But hens with chickens are the,' best scavengers, and they will remain near their temporary home, and , return to' It at night : Manuring Dean Oronnd. . . It is a common mistake to suppose that beans do best on poor land,., and do not need any manure. Old fanners often say, "the land was too rich," and, therefore the beans "ran all to vines without producing much grain." But this is the best indication that the land was not rich enough. Beans require phosphate of lime and potash. Many black, mucky soils are supposed from' their color to be very rich. But such soils often have a great lack of lime and potash. In fact an excess of loam means that at some time it has been covered with water, and its mineral fertility has mostly been washed out Or it may be that the soil is even now wet, and the bean crop is very impa tient of too much moisture, which causes many rusts both of tho leaves, pods and beans. Home-Bred Cows, It is always best wherever possible to breed cows on the same farm where they are to be kept. The cow is a very home-loving animal, and if taken from old associations it will neither eat nor give so much milk as it would if kept where It was grown. We have seen cows walk uneasily around the field as If looking for a place to get out for days, and until the grass in the path they made was entirely destroyed. Of course such cows cannot be profitable milkers. After a cow has had one calf in her now homo, tt seems more home1 like to her, and If she is where she can see it and sometimes be with it, she will be less discontented, except for the first few weeks, while she is mainly anxious to be with her calf. Low Wagons for Manure Drawing. ' It is heavy work pitching manure all day, and is especially so If it has to be done into a high wagon box. A low truck wagon with box not higher than the wheels of an ordinary wagon will do the work of drawing manure much betfet than will the wagons used for marketing. Such a wagon almost any farmer can have cheaply made, if he has old wheels whose hubs are good, but which cannot lie made strong enough to bear up when long spokes are used. The low wagon can be used for years after tt is cut down for a truck wagon. It will be nil the better, however, if the outer rim is made wider and is enclosed in a broad tire, so that the wheel will not sink down when going over the land. The Boy of the Farm. There's a hum of bees in the meadow, Where the new-mown hay lies low, There's a whetting of scythes in the dis tance A musical, faint echo. The warm, lazy airs of midsummer, In waves of aroma creep, Where stretched in the shade of a hay cock, Lies a barefoot boy, asleep. Gay butterflies flit o'er the windrows, In chime of the thistledown; Spry grnsslKippers leap in the stubble, And light on a stray hats crown; And just on tle other side of the mound With fraerant clover teeming. Lips astain with the BtraVberry's blood, Lies a barefoot boy, dtcnming. Charles Elmer Jenncy. To Fertilize House Plnpts. . For house plants a mixture of one pound of nitrate of potash and half a pound of phosphate of lime, using a tablespoonful of the mixture to a gallon of water, will prove excellent. The phosphate of lime should be as fine aa powder, or a better mixture may be used, consisting of one pound each of phosphate of potash and nitrate of pot ash. These articles may be obtained in the crude form at any place where chemicals ore sold. Land Plaster on Potatoes. The first application of Paris green to potatoes to kill the potato liootlo should lie with land plaster, A tablespoonful to a half bushel of the plaster thorough ly mixed will be strong enough. Not only will the poison kill the potato larvae, but tlie effect of the plaster will be to make tlie vines grow stronger and cause more copious dew on tho leaves, which will destroy many potato beetles' eggs- Ban Jose Pcnle. The San Jose scale when it covers the surface gives the bark a minutely roughened, lncrusted nnd unhealthy look, awl a dusty or dark grayish hue. It can be distinguished from other common scales by Its circular form, smaller size, and the absence of eggs beneath the scales. When the surface Is rubbed with the finger, it has a greflsy fool, due to an oily fluid from tho crushed insects. tx. About Oik-Venn. Keep the early pullets for next year's layers, nnd kill off the young cockerels for market, so as to give the pullets more room. They should be kept in good growing condition, so as to reach maturity liefore November, in order to become winter layers. Late pulleta seldom begin to lay until spring. Antique Vegetables. Asparagus was originally a wild sea- coast weed of Great lMtain and Russia, and Is now so plentiful on the Russian 8tepies that the cattle eat It like grass. In some jrnrts of Southern Europe the seeds are dried nnd used as a substi tute for coffee.
