A LIFE'S LOVB. I loved him in my dawning years Far years, divinely dim; My blitbes: umllee, my saddest tears, ere evermore for him . My dreaming when the day began. The latest thought I bad, Was still some loving plan To make my darling glad. Thf y deemed be lacked the conquer! as wiles Tbat other children wear; To me his face, in frown or smiles, Was never aught bat fair. Tbey said that elf was all bis goal. He knew no tbongbt beyond; To me, I know, 00 loving soal Was half so true and fond. Ah, many a love was mine ere now, In I lie's capricious May, And man v a lightly whispered vow Tbe oreexes bore away. Yet, looking back on friends betrayed. And sweethearts left to rue, My soul can say. "In shine or shade, At least he found me true." In love's eclipse. In friendship's dearth, In grief and feud and bale. My Heart bas learut the s acred worth of one that cannot fall ; And come what rust and come what may. Nor power, nor praise, nor pelf Shall ure my raiib from him to stray. My dariingonhlmsel King Lndwlg's Encore. I am told that in a German concert or opera they hardly ever encore a song ; that, though they may be dying to near it again, their good breeding usually preserves them against requiring the rep etition. Kings may encore ; that is quite another matter ; it delights everybody to ..see that the king is pleased, and, as to the actor encored, his pride and gratifica tion are simply boundless. Still, there ure circumstances in which even a roy al encore but it is better to illustrate. The king of Bavaria is a poet and has a poet's eccentricities, with the advantage over other poets of being "able to gratify them, no matter what form they may take. He is fond of opera, but not fond of sitting in the presence of an audience ; therefore, it has sometimes occurred in Munich, that when an opera has been concluded, and the players are getting off their paint and finery, a command has come to get their paint and finery on again. Presently the king would arrive solitary and alone, and the players would begin at the beginning and do the entire opera over again, with only that one in dividual in that vast, solemn theatre for an audience. Once he took an odd freak in his bead. High up and out of sight over tho prodigious state of the Court Theatre is a maze of interlaced water pipes, so pierced that in case of fire in numerable little thread-like streams of water can be caused to descend, and, in case of need, this discharge can be aug mented to a pouring flood. American managers might make a note of that. The king was tho sole audience. The opera proceeded. It was a piece with a storm in it. The mimic thunder began to mutter, the mimic wind began to wail and sough, and the mimic rain to patter. The king's interest rose higher and higher ; it developed into enthusiasm. He cried out : "It is good, very good, indeed ! But I will have a real rain. Turn on the water!" The manager pleaded for a reversal of the command, said it would ruin the oostly scenery and splendid custumes ; but the king cried : "No matter, no matter; I will have a real rain. Turn on the water." So the real rain was turned on and be gan to descend in gossamer lances to the mimic flower-beds and gravel walks of the stage. The richly dresed actresses and actors tripped about singing bravely and pretended not to mind it. The king was delighted ; his enthusiasm grew higher. He cried out : "Bravo ! bravo ! More thunder I More lightning ! Turn on more raiai" The thunder boomed, the ' lightning glared, the wind raged, the deluge poured down. The mimic royalty of the stage, with their soaked satins clinging to their bodies, slopped around ankle deep in the water, warbling their sweet est and best; the fiddlers under the eves sawed away for dear life, with tne cold overflow spouting down- their necks, and the dry and happy king sat in his lofty box and wore his gloves to ribbons ap plauding. "More yet!" cried the king, "more yet; let loose all the thunder ; turn on all the water. I will hang the man who raises an umbrella." - When the most tremendous and effec tive storm that had ever been produced in any theatre was at last over, the king's approbation was measureless. He cried : "Magnificent ! magnificent ! Encore ! Do it again!" But the management succeeded in persuading him to recall the encore, and said the company would feel sufficiently rewarded and complimented in the mere fact that the encore was demanded by his Majesty, without fatiguing him with a repetition to gratify their own vanity. During the remainder of the act the lucky performers were those whose parts required changes of dresses ; the others were a soaked, bedraggled and uncom fortable lot, but in the last degree pic turesque. The stage scenery was ruined, trap doors were so swollen that they wouldn't work for a week afterwards, the fine costumes were spoiled, and no end of minor damages were done by that re markable storm. It was a royal idea that storm and ro.jally carried out. But observe the moderation of the king. He did not in sist upon the encore. If he had been a gladsome, unreflecting American opera audience he probably would have had his storm repeated and repeated until he had drowned all these people. Mark Twain. How to Can Cobn. In order to can corn, says the Country Gentleman, boil the corn on the ear a few minutes; then out the corn off the ears while as hot as you can; put the corn into the cans at once; have the can almost full, say with in throe-fourths of an inch of the top; then fill the can up with boiling water, and have the can soldered and put into a kettle of hot water, and let it boil in the water for six hours. In every six quarts of corn take one ounce of tartaric acid, dissolved in boiling water. Cut thS corn from the cob and put into a sufScient quantity of water to cook When the corn 13 smoking put the acid in. When done, seal air tight in tin cans or glas." jars. To prepare for the table, pour off the sour water and save it; put in enough fresh water fo cook it; for every quart of corn add one teaspoon! ul of soda; let it stand a few minutes be fore1 cooking. While cooking put in a teaspoonf ul of sugar. If the corn turns yellow there is too much soda; pour back some of the sour water until it turns white again. When nearly done, season with salt, cream and butter, same as fresh corn. Dissolve one and a quar ter ounces of tartaric acid in one-half 'pint of water; cut the corn from the cob and cook it properly; when cooked, add two tablespoonfuls of the acid solution to every quart of corn; can and seal se curely and set in a cool, dry place. When wanted for use, stir half a teaspoonf ul of soda into two quarts of corn, and let it stand three hours before cooking. This removes all add from the corn. Care of Farm machinery. The rainy season is so nearly here, that farmers should at once examine the reapers, mowers, threshers, headers, en gines and other farm machines, which are now to be put under cover for the winter. If this is not done until next summer, the blacksmiths and carpenters of the vicinity will then be too busy to pay proper attention to details. Unsea soned timber may be used, and annoy ing delays may occur. The whole sub ject should be cared for now, and dupli cates of those parts which are most likely to be worn or suddenly broken, should be obtained. Farmers will know that reapers, in particular, must be in early repair, as in some seasons the rust may strike a wheat field so quickly that only immediate cutting saves it for hay. In the care of mowers and reapers, and indeed of all field machinery, the use of too much oil on 'the cog-wheels and toothed bearings works a great in jury. Even though the gearing is care fully boxed, or encased, and as muoh as possible protected from dust, still some dust will enter, and settle upon tne 011, makincr it thiok, hard, and worthless. After a while this surplus oil baoomes so erittv and hard that it lifts the cogs apart, wearing the journals, increasing the-draft, and rendering tne jar and ten dency to break much greater. The proper plan is to 'wipe the cogs with an oiled rag once a day, or if using an oil can, to pour on but little. The gritty conglomerate in the bottoms of the oogs and pinions should frequently oe re moved. Sometimes a tooth of a cog or pinion will be found to cut. Examino and sue whether or not the shaft is sprung. If the tooth has been cast rough, mix black, load and tallow as a lubricant to cause it to wear smooth. About the most impor tant part of a reaper or mower is the cut ting apparatus. Examine all its parts each day, before beginning work. Look at the guard, the fingers, the knife-bar and the sections. Straighten bent putts, and replace whatever is broken. A bent knife-bar must be straightened care fully. Put the bar, bent uppermost, on a wooden block, put a piece of wood on the bar, and strike this with a wooden mallet. A guard-bar can be straightened bv the use of a lever, but must be taken from the machine first. When engaged in the actual work of the field do net stop and start up when the knife is full Back a step, and let the matter gain headway first. The sections of a new mowing machine knife are square cut at the point. Some farmers grind these to a sharp point. This is a mistake. The machine has less draft, and does better work when the suuare cut is left at the tip. This is also true with headers and with reapers Some farmers use a file for sharpening their reaper and mower knives. This heats the steel and takes out its temper It is as bad as to file a razor, or a priming-knife. Use a grindstone and plenty of water. Let tbe stone have a square face and fine grain. Hold the knife on the top of the stone, in a diagonal direction; grind alternate sections on the same side. Then reverse the knife and grind the other side of the untouched sections. When, while at work in the field, a section is broken, or notched by striking a stone, remove it by taking the the rivets out, and put on a new one. Fit the rivets well, for if loose in the knife-back, the section might be a source of danger to the driver, by flying off or dropping in the guaids. Use a riveting hammer to form a head on the top of the section. Keep the nuts and bolts tight, examining them every day. One of the most necessary points in field work, is that the driver should never, even for a moment, stand in front of the knives of a mower or reaper to which a team is harnessed. This should be a fundamental rule on every farm. No matter how safe a team may have been, the records of farm life show that frightful accidents have occurred from this cause. If a team is startled and runs, there is almost no escape for aman and he is thrown down and killed, or frightfully mangled, Several such acci dents occurred on this coast this year. Trees as Weather Prophets. It is a matter of common observance, says the Oswego (N. Y.) Times, that trees and their branches tall during tne prevalence of storms and from perfectly obvious reasons. But close observers among those familiar with the woods will tell you that oftentimes these things occur just before a severe storm, and are the sign or forerunner of its approach. The phenomenon was witnessed by a farmer of Oswego town, while on his way last Sunday to attend divine service at the Thompson school house, who ob served a large limb break and fall oft from a tree by the roadside. There was no wind stirring at the time, and no apparent cause for the phe nomenon, fie says he made up his mind that a severe storm was close at hand. He recalled the circumstances at Hanni bal a year ago, during the camp-meeting service, when a large beech tree fell upon the camp-meeting tent, at a time when, happily, the congregation was out side, and only a small child was in the tent asleep. The child wjfs not only not injured, but not even awakened, ihere was no wind at the time, in fact, the at mosphere was unusually still. There was no apparent cause for the fall of the tree; but a heavy storm followed shortly after, as Monday's storm succeeded the intense heat and quiet of the day before. The falling of the tree and the apparent almost miraculous escape of the congre gation were the occasion of much specu lation, aad the incident was quickly seized and forcibly used by the exhorter .to illustrate the protecting oare of heaven. The farmer of whom we speak also says that for many years he has ob served similar incidents of falling limbs and trees in the stillness which so gener ally precedes great storms of rain or wind. The relator is more than ordina rily a close observer of things. It seems that Vienna is exporting large numbers of false' turquoises closely re sembling genuine ones. The backs of every specimen are picked out, and the holes tilled with a black cement to imitate the matrix of La Yieille Roche; The spurious are a little lighter than the real turquoises, but the specific gravity test is not to be altogether relied upon. An expert in gems advises purchasers to scrape off the matrix, and if the speci men is spurious the artificial perforations will be revealed. The unclean process of putting oil on hair, it is a pleasure to know has been abandoned. There is always in tbeJiair natural oil enough, which can be brought out by much brushing with a stiff brush, and shampooing keeps the scalp clean and prevents the accumulation of dandruff, whicn by the way, is said to be increased by fine combs. A liberal reward will be paid at this office for a lady who has been at a water ing place this summer and not "jotted down . a few impressions" which aha would not refuse to have published. Jews In Europe. There are only 40,000 Jews in all England, and only 50,000 in France. But in Germany there are 400,000, in German-Austria twice as many, in Rus sia over. 2, 000,000, and in Ronmania there are over 400,000 in a population of 5,000, 000. In Turkey, no doubt, the Jews are bettor treated , says the Saturday Review, than in the adjacent nominally Christian State, but in European Turkey there are probably not 20,000 Jews, and in Syria, which includes the anoient seat of the race, there are only 40,000, or as many as in the distant island of England. It is difficult to suppose that, there is not some connection between the density of the Jewish population and its ill treat ment, if only it can be traced. Tbe quality of the Jewish mind that has brought it at onoe into eminence and antagonism is its expansiveness. No national mind is so rigid in one di rection and so elastic in another. The Jew guards his fortress, but is always sallying out from it. He has a passion for affairs. He longs to do something and to be something. In oonntries other outlet for this passion for activity but oonuneroo, and, as he is the worst treated in tha backyard countries, for where he is treated tut n outcast he has no oommeree of the most petty kind. He has taught himself by the practice of ages to beoome the prince of hucksters aud usurers. As a rule he is not allowed to hold land, and has lost the art of agri culture with which in old days he con verted into fruitful terraces the barren rocks of Palestine. He has been shut out from the armiss, and his exclusion has stunted in him the fertility of Mili tary resource, the power of military contention and the recklessness of life which for a time made him a match for the legions of Titns. But where he can find, an opening he uses it. If he can do only little business he does little business. If big business is open to him he does the biggest business within his reach. Where better things were offered to his grasp he has shown himseif a master in philosophy, in poetry and in art. What is most curious is that, if only he has a chance, he expands into a new nationality without losing his old one. The English and French Jew is a Jew, always remaining in his circle, and yet is an Englishman or a Frenchman. No Frenchmen showed themselves more devotedly French in the German war than the French Jews; and in England our literary J ews show themselves furious patriots and write up the leopards of England as their ancestors might, had they possessed the art, have written up the Lion of Judah. The Master of the Rolls is one of the ablest of judges; but, except in the superi ority of his acumen, he is exactly like any other judge. It is not therefore, wonderful that when they have free play, and yet are not too numerous to excite much comment, they should sue ceed without awakening jealousy, in a country like Germany, where they were numerous and where commerce is at once backward, so that their success is not swallowed up in the success of the nation; and forward enough to give them considerable chances, they get on, but not without considerable social friction. In countries like Rbumauia, where civilization is just dawning, and where tbey form a substantial part of the population, they can only do small things; but they do those with a pertin acity and on a scale which strikes a per petual uneasiness into the rude minds of their wondering and grudging neigh bors. In the long run, it may be con fidently predicted that everything that favors civilization will favor the Jew. Tbe Cucumber. The cucumber is a wonderful vegeta ble and has found its way into the great American Heart, the stomach being the medium, and although a great many persons suffer from eating them, yet they never appear to lose their popularity. It is a vegetable which has a terrible prejudice against some persons, and one of them when once it gets a hold on the stomach will wrestle with a man through out an entire night, and otherwise enter tain him with the most improved style of cramps. There are two kinds of cucumbers, one of them being noted for its medicinal properties and its power to pull the flesh from off the bones of a mortal. It is a very near relative of croton oil, and when a man once takes a dose of it, he ever afterward entertains a deep seated hatred for the whole tribe. The domestic species, however, does not act in the same way, yet its treatment of humanity is very often equally as pain ful. It has long since been considered as indigestible, and when any one has a first-class cucumber nightmare, it is very apt to destroy his faith in the use fulness of diet. The "loke" once in a thoughtless moment dined on five very large cucumbers, and that night five fiery-eyed demons jumped on him, and stuck their pitchforks into his form and danced upon his breast and stomach in high glee. He tried to kick and cry out, but it was useless; they had him like a vise. The next morning his frightened friends found him curled up like a fish hook, speechless from pain. Those en cumbers were waging a merciless war and attacking from all points. They marched aronnd his stomach in platoons, regiments and brigades, and became complete masters of the field, and did no; surrender an inch until the doctors and half a drug store came to the rescue, and after a terrible struggle of twenty -four hours the "loke's" knees were released from his chin. The relief from the cu cumber pangs were heaven-like in its sweetness, and he dropped off into a peaceful sleep, and dreamed that he was a big cucumber and had a scheming enemy who was always seeking bis life by devouring him alive. He thought that one day his enemy came along, and jerking him from the very bosom of his family, deliberately ate him, and after he reached that man's stomach, he determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. The first thing he did he threw his enemy into a spasm, and rolled him out of bed and hauled him over the floor. Then he twisted him into the shape of a gimlet, and wound him up like an apple-peel and jammed his heels back of his ears and made him groan, swear and curse. Then he pitched him into the middle of a big convulsion and bounced him up to the ceiling, and slammed him against the wall until four men had to tie his legs and send for a doctor, and about the time he thought he had killed his enemy the "loke" awoke and shuddered to think how dreadful was a cucumber in its wrath. The only harmless cucumber is the pickled one, which is mnch sought after by boarding-school girls and old maids, but the world is advised to look upon the cucumber when it is green, for it hurteth the stomach like unto a saw mill. Every man has his own reputation to make, and that is why so many mam make such poor ones. Knowledge In a Nutshell. A pace is 3 feet. A cubit is 2 feet. A fathom is 6 feet. A palm is 3 inches.

To be wise too late is the exaotost definition of a fool. Great souls attract sorrows, as moun tains do tempests. Censure is the tax a man payeth to the public for being eminent. Men should not talk to please them selves, but those who her them. I'd rather any day be an ill-bred origi nality than a well-bred nonentity. If I were to trade in winding-sheets, my luck would make all men live. The highest reach of human science is the scientific recognition of human ignorance. In all evil no matter how great can be found the germ of good that will out weigh it. We should choose for a wife only the woman we would choose for a friend, were she a man. We presume the catfish is so called because no one was ever lucky enough to kill one with a bootjack. Sometimes principle gets the pull over passion; but in such a case regret comes as often afterward as remorse does in the revere. In Chicago 119 gallons of water per capita is consumed per day, while in t. Louis the quanity is only 56 gallons. The difference in the quality of the beer accounts for it. To renew the worn surface of gum belts manufactures recommend "a com position of equal parts of black lead and litharge mixed with boiled linseed oil, and japan enough to make it dry quick." It is to be put on with a painter's brush. Mr. Gramme is building for an estab lishment at Noisiel, France, a machine for transmitting electrical force to a dis tance, with which he expects to gain a normal power equivalent to that of ten horses, and under special conditions a power of sixteen horses. "Emma R." asks us: "Do you think it right for a young girl to sit on a young man's lap, even if she is engaged to him?" And we says: "If it was our girl on our lap, yes; if it was another girl and our lap, yes; but if it was our girl an another fellow's lap, never." The Scientific American reports that portions of a mastodon of gigantic size were discovered recently in Wicker's Park, Chicago, in excavating for a sewer. The indications are that the huge animal perished in an ancient marsh or quag mire, and there is hope of the recovery of the rest of the skeleton. The curved tusks are about seven feet long.
