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.

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:

is still in its infancy. Many of the hun

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. Salt

ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF A EEEHIVE.
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. .
