A LESSON OF LIFE. " A long day's Journey there lay before; I crossed the meadow at breaking mora; I saw the road wind by hill and moor Beyond the hills was my distant bourne. 1 thought of the greetings I should win What was it moaned at my feet meanwhile? A poor old terrier, lame and thin; I stooped and helped him over the stile. Then would have crossed; but a dreary yelp Arrested me, and 1 turned, lo view A limping poodle, whose need of help Was manifest; and 1 helped him, too. Of every nation and tribe are they. And each has a fresh, resistless wile; Each says in his own peculiar way, "Just help a lame dog over the stilel" They're greyhound. Skye, Pomeranian; They limp along in an endless file; They're smooth or curly, they're black and tan. They all are lame and would cross the stile. The shadows deepen o'er hill and clen, Wm is my pathway of many a mile Yet will I renew my journey when The last lame dog is over the stile. May Kendall in Longman's Magazine. The Horses Knew the Tone. A relation of mine, who has spent many years in India, remembers well how, when living in Lncknow and en joying the evening drive with other English residents in the Indian city, the carriage horses wonld toss their heads and paw the ground impatiently when the first notes of "God Save the Queen" were played by the military band every evening. It was the last tune played, the signal for dispersion. A skeptic or, perhaps, more than one having insisted that the horses only knew the tnne because it was always played last, and they were able to calcu late time, the experiment was tried of playing "God Save the Queen" in the middle, instead of at the end of the evening. Instantly there was the same excitement in the horses standing round "the course." The Bame impatient toss ing of the head and prancing of the feet, the same general stampede and eager ness to start homeward. No one could any longer doubt that they knew and recognized the air; in fact, that they could tell one tune from another. London Spectator. j A Triumph of Civilization. There is a large farmer near me, a clever and successful man in his way. who married (as men sometimes do) a foolish wife. His daughters are placed at an expensive school in Brighton, and are carefully debarred by their mother from all acquaintance, not only with . farmwork and housework, but with such elementary feminine knowledge as the simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They may not make or mend their own clothes; they may not use the needle. "1 am happy to say," their proud . mother said lately to a lady; "1 am happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters cannot even sew." But they can play the piano after a fashion they have a smattering of French, they could and ' would (if they wero asked) go to garden parties in evening dress. So greatly has civilization triumphed in their case. Notes and Queries. Ice Made by Natural Gas. An inventor in Buffalo has devised a process for" making ice by utilizing the intense cold created by the expansion of natural gas when liberated from the rhigh pressure at which it issues from the wells. In the experimental plant the gas is used at its initial pressure, or from 150 to 200 pounds to drive a small engine. After use in the engine the gas exhausts into a closed box, and the ex pansion generates sufficient cold to form slabs of ice three inches thick to the amount of three-quarters of a ton in a day. It is claimed th.it the principle can be applied- economically on a large scale. New York Telegram. Over 1, 500,60 Died from Want. European calamities from famines dwindle into insignificance when com pared with the colossal dimensions of a famine in the -owded countries of Asia. In 1837 -ma- 800,000 human be ings starved U death in Northwest India, and in 1860 another famine car ried off 500,000. In 1865 1,000,000 peo ple were supposed to haved starved in Bengal and Orissa, and in 1863 the death roll from famine in Raj poo tana exceeded 1.500,000. Even at late as 1877 about 600,000 perished in Bombay, Madras and Mysore. Providence Journal A Youthful Joke.

A strange figure on the streets of Washington is that of Josephine J. iJarocki, a Polish' countess and a grand niece of Count Pulaski, of Revolutionary fame. She is described as a "human dried apple," poor to indigence and shab bily dressed, and she is about fifty years old. For twenty-five years she has been fighting for a fortune left by Count Pulaski.

London Truth. The Crase for Souvenirs. The popular craze for souvenirs which now prevails among persons who have money to spend is spreading in various directions. Formerly the silver spoon held undisputed sway, but now there are souvenir bracelets, . souvenir napkin rings, souvenir buttons and souvenir fans. The silversmiths are kept busy getting np new and novel designs, ' and each jewelry store of any importance has its souvenir department. Spoons of coarse are still in the greatest demand. One young married woman in this town, who is an ardent collector of souvenirs, is the proud possessor of nearly 100 spoons, each representing a city or vil lage that she has visited. New York CULTIVATION OF EICE. WATER PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE RAISING OF THE CEREAL. An Industry in Louisiana That Is Very Profitable to the Grower, but Which Is Still In Its Infancy How Rico Fields Are Kept Flooded. "Tell you something about rice in Louisiana?" repeated Andrew C. Wilkin son, the owner of a large rice mill in New Orleans, where the rice grown on his plantation is cleaned, at the Gilsey House. "I see that the papers have just found out that Englishmen are trying to buy up and form a trust of the rice mills in the south, although the agents have been down there for something over six months. Nobody is quicker than John Bull to scent a bargain. "New Orleans is the chief rice milling city of America. Fifty years ago we did not have such a thing as a rice mill, but now we have sixteen, working 220 rice pounders and employing more than 1,200 men. Louisiana has always been known as the Sugar State, but we also want to add to it that of the Rice State of the Union, j "How is it cultivated? Well, the first necessity of profitable rice culture I is a comparatively level piece of land, j properly prepared for the seed. This field must be located so as to be conveniently irrigated from the prairie reservoir or the flume in the levee. Highland rice does not pay in Louisiana, the only profitable rice being that grown in water. Water is the first and last want of sprouting, growing and ripening rice. Before the ground is ready for the seed it is divided up by a system of little ; sublevees and watering ditches. It is ; then planted in drills dug by machines j or rather I should say that the ma j chine is the proper way to do it, but the seed is frequently broadcasted with us ia Louisiana. "Then comes the most delicate part, ! in the water manipulation. After the j seed is planted the soil is thoroughly i saturated with water to sprout it, but the water is at once taken off when the ' seeds have evenly germinated, and kept i off until the tender shoots of the plant j rise two or three inches above the ground. You can easily see that the young plants may be either drowned out or dried up by the least inattention in regulating the flow. - j DRAWBACKS TO THE WORK. ' On the other hand, with too much water, crawfish invade the fields and de vour the delicate plants, while with none at all, rice caterpillars cut them down and kill them. If you neglect the main flume you not only risk the total loss of your orop, but by permitting the water to get ahead cf you there may come a break in the levee, and away go your . cattle and crops. "The most expensive part of rice grow ing comes when it is about a foot high, after it has been liberally watered; I mean the grassing of the rice. You see, the laborers wade through the rice, pull ing up and throwing into heaps all the weeds and water grasses they find. This grassing costs on an average about four dollars an acre, and after that is over the rice planter has but little to do ex cept to give it plenty of water. One pe culiar thing about irrigation is that the heads of the rico plants never fill out, no matter how much water you give them artificially, unless there are plenti ful rains. "One feature of rice cultivation would be great fun to city sportsmen, but is a terrible nuisance to us. I mean the birds. Talk about your ducks and geese hiding the mm. Perfect clouds of rice birds, English sparrows, summer ducks, rail and other fowl of the air and wa ter, come to see if they can't harvest our crops for us. From daybreak to dark a perfect fusilade from the guns and old muskets is heard in hundreds of square" miles of country. Over in this field you hear the shrill shouts of Creole farmers shrieking out Sunday school language in French patois: from the next probably the deep chested whoop of negro field hands, and in another the hoarse yells of the new American rice growers those who have come from the great northern wheat fields.. It is scream I ' pop! whoop! bang! boom! in the noisiest battle from dawn to dark that you ever heard. . "The rice birds are our worst enemies, and while we kill millions of them, left to manure the fields, other millions come in to take their places. The ravages of the rice birds Eome years are fearful, the crcp being almost a total loss. , Per haps now that t'fp Yankees are coming down to grow rice they may invent some machine thwill either destroy the birds or keejWiem away. PROFITS OP R1PB CULTURE. "As soon as a pale yellow tint appears over the level heads of the opening grain the water is carefully drawn off, the fields being drained as thoroughly as possible, and the work of harvesting is begun. The dried sheaves are' carted direct from the field to . the steam thresher, where the grain is prepared for market. "The profits in rice planting, with good luck, will in a few years make any man rich. The yields on good lands in Lou isiana give from fifty to seventy-five bushels to the acre. Rice is a plant which is generous to the attentive and industrious farmer, but it resents neg lect more than any other cereal. A man can cultivate fifteen to twenty acres of rice land, and if strong and industrious he can easily secure from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels of rice, worth at present prices about a dollar a -bushel The work is not hard, except during grassing time, and, as good living is cheap with us, a small rice farmer can easily save one half of his gross income. v v: "The cultivation of rice in Louisiana is still in its infancy. Many of the hun dreds of immigrants are yearly turning their attention to rice, and at the pres ent rate of increased acreage Louisiana will be able to supply the entire country with this most valuable cereal." New York Telegram. A Fine Word. The following extraordinary word is given in Miss M.

A WOMAN OFFICES PERFORMS FOR HER THE LAST HUS3AND.- A Fathetlo Story of Frontier Life How a Wife and Mother Hesitated Not to Spend Her Strength for the Sake of the Man She Loved to the Last. The story of Mrs. U. J. Wenner's life on Fremont island is about the most pathetic story ever told on the frontier. She was born and bred ia luxury;" she came to this city a bride eleven years ago. When, five years ago, her husband decided to move to Fremont island, she cheerfully gave up her luxurious home in this city and went with him. Of course she had no neighbors. With no one but her husband and her little family around her, with a hired man and girl to assist,' she lived there five years. At one time she was" there two years and a half without leaving the island. When, two years ago, her husband.be came too weak to ride on horseback, she looked after the stock herself, she at tended to her house, she taught her chil dren, she nursed her husband, and in these occupations she was busy every moment of her time. She says she was happy and we do not doubt it Her hus- band was failing all the time, but he had been a long time ill and she would not permit the thought of the possibility of his dying to enter her mind. So it went on until two weeks ago Wednesday, when her husband had a severe hem orrhage of the lungs. It was stopped, and he said he felt more relieved than he had for months before. " Of course great prostration always fol lows a hemorrhage of the lungs, and so he lay very weak, but cheerful. Thurs day he wanted the man who had been their faithful employee so long to take the boat, go over to Hooper and get the mail, as he said he wanted his papers and magazines. The man. however, did not go until Friday morning. Through j the day Friday Judge Wenner was com : paratively easy. He asked his wife to read to him from their favorite books, and also to repeat to him whole fSoems , which 6ho knew by heart, and so the' i day and night passed away. i A FEARFUL ORDEAL. I Saturday morning he told her what to Cook for his breakfast, saying he wanted a good breakfast, but while this was in preparation she heard the signal which I she had prepared for him to make in case j he needed her. When she got to his side I the fatal hemorrhage was on his lips, and when she hastened to give him the medicine that was always given him at such a time ho motioned it away. She put her arm around his neck, drew his head on her bosom and asked him if he loved her; he answered, "Yes," and asked her if she loved him. At her "ye3," he smiled, and in an instant, without a ; spasm, that smile was transfixed and his j soul had fled. She was there all alone; with her. own ' hands she washed and dressed her hus band's body, went outside and.got the board herself, and stretched it upon the chairs beside the bed; the girl had such a horror of death that she could not be induced to come into the room to help herkyher husband on the plank. She . did it all alone, and when all was com posed she went to her children, told them that their father was dead, ex plained to them as well , as she could what death meant, took them in and showed them their father's face; they I all kissed hiin, and knelt and prayed be I side him. The day wore along and a j great storm came upon the' lake, so that it was impossible for the man to return. It had always been understood that two signal Cres meant that she needed help, : co as the night came down she went and j lighted those fires and then took up her I watch beside her dead. At intervals i daring the night she would go and re ' plenish the fires, and eo the watch went j on till daylight. All that day passed 1 i away. At night she renewed the fires; and finally, at great peril, the man ! reached the island at 10 o'clock at night. ' A PATHETIC BURIAL. " I There was no possibility to return to ; get a casket, so the poor woman told the j man that he must from the boards on the ! place make the best box he could. The . j man helplessly said he could not, but she i encouraged him and told him she would : help him. So the box was made. From j the best material she had iu the house I she with her own hands lined the box and fixed a pillow for the simper's head. That completed, the man dug a grave. The only services foi the dead was by i the wife and little children kneeling i around the coffin before it was moved from the house and praying. But then what other service was needed? As best they could they got the box to ; the grave, the man drove stakes on one j side of the grave and tied ropes to them, I and that woman and that man lowered the body into the grave. Then she went back to take care of her children. The storm was so furious on the lake that it was a week before she could take hr i children and leave the island. What she endured through that Satur day and Saturday night, that Sunday and that Sunday night no one knows, and no one can imagine. She did not shed a tear. She has not shed a tear since. She says calmly that she never anticipated life without her husband, but that now her children need what strength she has got. And she speaks of what she did as nothing at all. She says it was a pleasure to her to do the last office; it is very much sweeter for her to think of than it would be to think that it was performed by some one who : might have been less tender in his touch 1 than she. And that was by a little woman who never knew what work was or what iso lation meant, who knew nothing at all about the rougher side of life until she . gave her heart up to her husband and thenceforth lived only for him.

Opinions Expressed by an Apiarist at a . Missouri Beekeepers' Convention. ; The average apiarist, in speaking of modern progress in beekeeping, is al most sure to place stress on the "hive" as the highest point to be attained in the art of beekeeping. That a certain amount of time and talent should be used in this direction will be agreed to without argument, but to bend every energy in this direction I think is a mis take. When we investigate the subject we find that practical beekeepers are succeeding equally well with the many different makes of hives. This fact alone indicates that good management and adaptability to the business overbalance everything else. - A hive to facilitate labor should be simple, easy to manipulate and of rea sonable price. If these points are com bined they will be almost sure to pro duce a popular hive. I use the simplic ity hive, improved, nine frames or eight frames and a division board; fill the brood chamber, use one depth section crates with breakjoint honeyboard and section "support combined," and follow the tiering up plan for comb honey. For extracted honey use same size brood chambers with perforated zinc queen excluder, and tier up two or three stories hisrh with ,rn-Yrv mmlw. ni mmi f the story above the brood chamber. In .taking up the second proposition of my subject, I will be governed by what branch of honey production I want the hive for. If I were working ' for comb honey exclusively, I would possibly adopt the eight frame hive, but do not think I would. I do not like a small hive, especially for the general bee keeper. They need closer attention, will furnish more destitute colonies in the fall and more and smaller swarms than hives of larger capacity. if i were running for extracted honey one I would without hesitation recom- mono i wouia witnout nesnanon recom- lnsnd a large hive; the only point, of limit would be convenience in handling. But for both comb and extracted honey from the same apiary I have adopted a azef of hive suited equally well for both kinds of honey, and of uniform size, viz., the nine frame simplicity single walled hive, with chaff hive for winter and early spring protection. In conclu sion I want to bo liberal, I want to be found broad in- my make up, and 1 recommend to the beginner and to those who have not got a movable frame hive to secure some reasonably good movable frame hive with crates to hold one pound sections and learn to succeed with it ' Cheapest Feeding Materials. Linseed, cake is the staple food with many farmers. It is not improbable that this article will advance beyond a reasonable price, and the farmer should cast about to see if there is not some food winch can be bought so as to pay him better. A good linseed cake is the best food for general purposes, because it contains a fair proportion of the dif ferent forms of feeding matter that ani mals require, and one of its great feat ures is the oil, a substance not strongly represented in grain. An English au thority explains that it is only because the feeding constituents are woll bal anced that it is preferred to other foods, and if other foods are mixed so as to possess the same properties equally good results are obtained. The oil is the chief difficulty, but that may be easily arranged by buying the linseed instead of linseed cake, for then the whole of the oil is obtained. Linseed contains about four times as much oil as linseed cake, so if in making a mixture we bear this point in mind, the most difficult portion . of the problem will be solved. Of course the linseed uinst be crushed or boiled. To supply the albuminoid matter which' is found in the cake we have to turn to the pulse crops beans, peas, lentils, maize and barley. - Corning Beef. The object in salting beef is to get it just salt enough to preserve it, and not so salt as to make it hard and .dry when cooked. The following is a receipt much used Cover the meat for twelve hours with brine scarcely strong enough to float an egg. Then take it out and wash it in cold water, and press it well with the hands and squeeze out all the blood you can before salting it down. Then throw the bloody brine away. Now make a new pickle, and for 100 pounds of beef, or in the same proportions for other quantities, dissolve six pounds of salt, two pounds of sugar and two ounces of saltpeter in water enough to cover the meat when weighted down; skim it well before pouring it on, and whenever scum arises on it afterward, indicating the beginning of fermentation, scald it, skim it and pour it back when cold. Keep in a cool and well ventilated place. For the south and for keeping far into the summer more salt will be required. Never allow the meat to float np and re main uncovered with brine any longer than is necessary while taking out a piece for use. Poultry Points. " After burning sulphur in the poultry housa (some people use it as a remedy for roup and lice) do not let the chickens out into rain or mist. They will catch cold then very easily, the same as a per son who lias been taking sulphur. Don't feed dry oats: scald them well iirst. If you want to get eggs, keep the hens from ever getting chilled. This is the biggest "secret" of the egg business. Don't give food or drink to a fowl for at least twelve hours before killing it. Ground bone is not only excellent to prevent leg weakness and for the gen eral health, but it encourages egg pro duction immensely.- At the present season" the dusting bos serves its most valuable purposes. Whole wheat is fine egg food, but too much of it may cause looseness of the bowels. r ' Scaly legged fowls are a disgrace to any yard, for they are generally caused by neglect and are easily cured. - If yon have birds whose combs frost readily apply a little glycerin to them when the weather is unusually cold. . Buried in Silver." William L. Scott was buried in a mag nificent coffin, the . manufacture of which required seventy-six' pounds of solid silver, besides quantities of silk and broadcloth.

The use of gold bars and solid gold plates on expensive caskets is not un xisual, but so lavish a use of solid silver is unprecedented.
