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

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.
