But he pined and fretted, Sighing ceaselessly, Aa he beat against the ban, "Give me liberty." Touched by Ills lamenting, I set wide the door; Out he flew aud vanished. And I was as before. By my lonely hearthstone Bitterly I wept. When with twilight's shadows Through the door Love crept. "Though I die when prisoned," He whispered, "yet when free , Obi woman heed the lesson I straight return to thee." Vogue. Women as Farmers.

When Hiram Maxim, the famous in vontor, lived in Sangerville, anxious mammas used to warn their hopefuls not . to play with "thut wicked Maxim boy." In fact, young Maxim grew np under the doubtful reputation of boing the very worst boy In the neighborhood. This isu't said for the purpose of en couraging any other Maine incorrigibles who are in thodeptliBof their misdeeds, If Hiram had been a perfectly good lit tle boy and had devoted his time to studying his lessons, he might have had that flying machine all completed by this time. Hiram used to work at carriage painting in Abbot and was hired by D. D. Flynt. He was an artist with the brush. One day a man called to see Flynt while the lutter wusout. "There has been a man in to see you," said young Maxim. "What's his name? "I don't know, but that's how he looks," and the boy pointed to a hoard on which ho hud roughly daubed a face, "I forgot to iiHk him his name," suid the boy, "and so 1 drew that." Flynt knew his man.

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS. A bill to nrovidn inr rAtnoim at ikn branch mint at Denver, Col., has been introduced in the House by Pence. It appropriates i00,000 for the construc tion of the necessary plant. The House Committee on Penainna has voted to report a bill increasing the mco ui pensioners oi tne Mexican ana inaian wars from 8 to $17 a month. Representative Caminetti of California had introduced a bill to give this increase to Mexican war pensioners, and the com mittee decided to extend it to Indian war survivors. There was a brisk discnaiiinn in ft.o Senate over the naval training station on the Pacific Coast. The California (senators insisted that the station be lo cated at Mare Island. Mitchell, Dolph and Squire insisted that the matter be leu to a commission, and that the Co lumbia river and Puget Sound be con sidered. White and Perkins rot unirrv. and withdrew the bill. Representative Wilson of Washington is prepared to show that the House cutof me Apache Indian appropriations from 125,000 to !K).O00 will necessitate a re duction next year of 1,000,000 pounds of oeei ana .su.uuu pounds ot flour. It is his opinion this cut is likely to lead to trouble with the Apaches. It will also be shown that the Indian police service will be made inefficient by the proposed cut and the Indian schools crippled. inere are many other specific items likely to cause an uprising among the Indians. Senator Squire has offered an amend ment to the river and harbor bill provid ing for the Seattle canal in a new form follows : " Dredging Shi s ho e ISav aim rcuinioii oay auu improvement oi tne waterway connecting the waters of Pu get Sound at Salmon Bay with Lakes union and Washington by enlarging the waterway ini a snip canal, wmi neces sary locks and appliances in connection therewith, 1200.000." He also offered an amendment of $25,000 for dredging Ev erett harbor, including the mouth of Snohomish river and Snohomish river from its mouth to Lowell. Among the serious charges Secretary Herbert is investigating on the coast- defense ship Monterey at San Francisco a nn re!?.t!ng to i::c virtual rUiiimg oi the hydraulic turrets, which contain the Dig twelve-inch rules ot that ship's bat tery. It in understood that on the re cent sea cruiBQ of the ship during prac tice nnng oi tne guns it was tnought by the officer in charge that the hydraulic mechanism for taking up the recoil need ed modification. One of the machinists of the ship was ordered to take out the plungers and reduce their diameter quarter to bull an inch. The plungers were reduced one-quarter, and when the guns were tired again the water naturally rushed past the plungers with very little resistance, and every pipe and joint con nected with the apparatus burst, flood ing the turrets and necessitating repairs wiuuii win consume several weeas Attorney-General Olncy has rendered an opinion in which lie holds the settle ment made by Secretaries Windom and Foster with the North American Com mercial Company, by which the govern ment for the years 181(0, 181)1 and 1802 received a leB rental both as to the bo nus and the rental per skin than was originally agreed upon, was illegal anil therefore is not binding upon the present secretary, i ins reduced rental and tax was accepted because the company hud not been permitted to take tne lull mini her of skins ordinarily specilled in the lease as a limit. In view of this decision the Secretary has made a formal demand upon the company for the full amount of rent and per skin tax for the vear 18111. und has referred to the Attorney-General lor such action as lie may deem advis able the matter ot collecting from. the company the lull amount due from the previous years. J lie whole amount claimed to he due the government is about 120,000, of which $132,000 is on account oi tne mm catcli. All but the final step has been taken in the admission of Utah as a State of tho Union. A favorable report on the hill has been made to tho Senate by Faulkner, Chairman of the Committee on Territories. It is provided that the election for a constitutional convention shall be held the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1HH-I; that this convention shall meet the first Monday in March, 18115, and that tho constitution framed by this convention and the elec tion of State officers under it and mem bers of tho State legislature shall take place the Tuesday alter the first Monday in November, 1805. This would leavo the constitutional convention to fix the time for tho election of tho legislature, which would elect United StateH Sena tors. It is believed that the House will agree to tho Senate amendments, and in that chhb Utah will he started on its way to Statehood some time during this ses sion of Congress. The legislative and judicial appropria tion bill lias been completed by tho Ap propriation Committee. It carries the salaries of all the goverment officers for the coming year. The whole amount recommended in the bill is $21,101,823, being a reduction under the estimates of $1,208,(187 and a reduction under tho ap- Iiropriation act of the current year of 70(1,100. The whole number of salaries especially provided for in the bill is 10, 110, being liltf less than the mini tier pro vided for in the law for the current year. The reorganization of the Treasury De partment on the basis recommended by the IVx'kery commission is a feature of the bill. It reduces the Treasury force 185, and reduces expenses $2:10,080. An other new feature of the hill is the pro vision for printing 10,000 copies of the rebellion records, With of the Union and Confederate navies, to bo apportioned among Senators and members and by them distributed to libraries. The ap pointment by the Secretary of the Treas ury of a chief of the revenue cutter service is provided for. The item for sugar inspectors, heretofore in the bill, has beon dropped, as the committee evi dently believes there will lie an abolition of sugar bounties. Attorney-General Olney has rendered an opinion at the request of Secretary Carlisle upon the question whether Chi nese merchants lawfully in the United States when the statute of November, 18U:l, took effect are within the provisions of the third paragraph of section 2 of that statute. He says that to interpret the language of the statute literally would be to make Congress establish a new class of Chinese person admissible to the United Suites and to wink at per sons who might not bo merchants at the time of their application and might even lie luliorein, but who had been merchants in the United States at some former pe riod. Hut the presumption applicable to every statute is to prevail in the case of the act of November II, ISiU, namely, that it lays down a rule of conduct for the future, but makes no change in the rights already acquired or conditions al ready established. He concludes from these premises: "That this third para graph of section 2 of the act of Novem ber;!, 18!;t, Is to be regarded as wholly proeective in Its operation and as ap plying exclusively to Chinee merchants who both come into the United States for the 11 rut time since November !l, ISiKl, and, having carried on business here afterward, leave the country and seek to return. Merchants already here when the statute took effect may leave ! country and return as if thive'' veniber 3. !. had not been Y THE EARTHQUAKE. Scores of Cities and Towns in Venezuela Destroyed. HE GOES FORTH AN EXILE. Count Kile Talleyraml-Perla-ord Must Leave France to Avoid Prosecution for Large Forgeries. Pabim. Since the Deacon family skel eton was brought to the view of the public Paris has had no sensation equal to the Count Elie Talleyrand-Perigord affair. That the charges made by young Lebaudy are well backed seems certain from the fact that Princess Sagan, mother of the Count, has consented to pay a sum equal to $520,000. Whether the Count or M. de Woestyn, both of whom are now at liberty, thanks to the Prin cess, knew they were handling forged notes has not appeared in evidence, but that somebody forged Lebaudy's name to paper for a fabulous sum is certain. Under the agreement Count Elie will go ia oi rrmice ior a numoer oi years, and De Woestvn will nrohablv leave Paria. There is little doubt now that the Count fell into the hands of sharpers, who soon relieved him of whatever he realized from the sale of the notes, for he has not a franc left. In fact, he goes abroad under a pension settled upon him by his juobiici, nu m wining to niaae any sac rifice if he will reform. TEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST. Cities and Towns In Venezuela Destroyed by an Earthquake Shock. Caracas. The Herald's correspond ent telegraphs : A terrible earthquake shock took place in Venezuela April 28. Reports which have bpon received here from the districts affected tell of terrible loss of life and tho destruction of vil lages and towns. The cities of Merida, Lagunillas, Chiguara and San Juan, sit uated in the northwestern part of the Republic in the region of the Andes, are reported as having been totally destroyed by a fierce shock at 11 o'clock on the night of the 28th. Many villages are said to be wrecked, but details are not yet to be had. The convulsions extend ed to parts of the adjacent Republic of Colombia. Full reports of the catas trophe will be learned slowly, but it iB probable that 10,000 people have per ished, and it is certain that the greatest f-ulfcring prevails in the places visited by the earthquake. The United States Minister here has notified the State De partment at Washington of the terrible effects of the catastrophe, and has asked that assistance be given to the people of the stricken districts. FROM OUB CHAKOE D'aF1"AIH;h, Washington. Secretary Gresham has received the following cablegram from liartletiiann, United States Charge d'Af faires at Caracas, Venezuela: "An earthquake on the 28th of April de stroyed the cities of Kgido and Merida and several villages. The loss of life is said to be heavy." ENGLAND'S LAKUK 1'ltOIII.KMS. On Their Hiiliilimi Will Depend the Fu ture of the Kuiplre. London. The Times comments edi torially on a scries of articles concerning Canada, which it has published recently. The writer says: "It seeniB manifest that of the large problems, on the suc cessful solution of which the future of the British Kmpire will depend, there are very few which are not more or less directly illustrated by Canadian experi ence, and the probable solution that Ca nada will find, whether for good or evil, largely affects the organic structure of the empire. It is certain that the influ ence of Canada on the international re lations of Circa t ltritain and the United States have tended more than anything else to a peaceful settlement by arbitra tion of questions which tinder less favor able conditions might have proved in tractable to diplomacy. It is not per haps altogether fanciful to surmise the benoflcent results achieved in this direc tion. Possibly they will be the germ of future developments almost too vast and far reaching for the political imagina tion of living men to conceive. What may he t he future of Canada's relations to the United States on the one hand and to Creat Britain on the other no man can yet Bay, but none can doubt that the firoblem here propounded is big with the ate of untold generations."

The Propaganda bus gathered all mate ria! htf ill immediate, and direct inter vention, and it is probable another synod of the American Catholic Hierarchy will he ordered for the purpose of directing the growing organization of Catholicism in America. The opinions of religious orders are now obtained from the Vati can, and they greatly favor the appoint ment of cathedral chapters and legates in America. In Trouble Again, London. A dispatch from Cairo says: A criminal indictment has beon lodged at Paris on behalf of Egyptian notables against Count Ferdinand de Lesecpsand the early directors of the Suez Canal Company for the misappropriation of money. Tho claims amount to several million pounds, and are based upon doc uments given under the seal of Said Pa sha, the Viceroy of Egypt. The case is expected to equal the Panama canal scandal in importance. Fleeing From Persecution. Moscow.

Chicago Record. FOR THE PARMER. Valuable Information Con cerning Farm Work. AGRICULTURAL PARAGRAPHS. Every Advantage Should be Taken to Save Waate and Leniten the Coat In Feeding Farm Stock. In feeding stock to the best advantage two items are esBential. One is to fur nish a reasonable variety in their food, and the other is to feed regularly. No one article of food will supply all ele ments of nutrition in the right propor tion to secure the best gain at the lowest cost, because in nearly all cases it will lack in some of the essential elements or will supply them in insufficient quanti ties. In making ud the rations the wants or needs of the animals should al ways be considered, as well as the pur pose for which it is supplied, and in ad dition to this cost must be considered, sunDlving a ration that as far as possible will secure the best gain to the lowest cost. The more completely the ration suDDliea the needs of the animal and the leBS the cost the better the possible profit; hence it is important to supply a variety and to maintain a good appe tite. But, no matter how complete the ration or how liberally it may be sup plied, the animal will not thrive as it should unless the feed is given regularly, Nature iB regular. Whenever food is supplied she at once commences to digest and assimilate it, and under normal con ditions does not pause until the opera tion is completed. Between two opera tions there should be some interval of rest; therefore, if food is given before the accustomed time, the digestive organs have not had their accustomed rest and there 13 more cr Lad lUk lliuL tiiuy may be overtaxed, and in consequence the work will not be properly done, and this in turn may create a disturbance of the whole system. If on the other hand the feeding is delayed beyond the usual time, the increased hunger of the animal ia apt to induce it to eat too fast, so that it will not be as thoroughly masticated and of course will not be as thoroughly di gested, causing in this way a loss. Feed ing irregularly will also cause an animal to fret to a more less extent, and this causes a loss that better or more careful work should avoid. In feeding econom ically every advantage must be taken to save waste and lessen the cost. Feeding a variety and feeding regularly are two items that must always be considered in feeding economically. Then the quan tity supplied must be such as will secure a steady gain whether feeding for growth or to finish for the market, and the more fully these essentials are supplied the better will be the profits. W hen stock is on good, pasture very little extra is necessary when keeping for growth, but in feeding to fatten a fattening ration must be given in addition to the pastur age. Work up a Keputatlon. It should be the aim of every farmer who makes a specialty of poultry prod ucts to work up a good reputation, for such is invaluable. For instance, sup pose a person wishes to acquire a name for producing strictly fresh eggs.

This is not very satisfac tory, though perhaps temperament is a thing a little too vague to be satisfacto rily defined. In modern terms it may be said to be the peculiar way in which the individual reacts to the stimuli of his environment.

The meal was served in genuine pampa fashion. One iron spoon and two cow's boms split in halves were passed around the group, the mem bers of which squatted upon their haunches and freely helped themselves from the kettle. Even in this most un civilized form of satisfying hunger there is a peculiar etiquette which the most lowly person invariably observes. Each member of the company in turn dips his Bpoon, or horn, into the center of the stew and draws it in a direct line toward him, never allowing it to de viate to the right or left. By observing this rule each person eats without in terfering' with his neighbor. Being ignorant of this custom, I dipped my horn into the mess at random and fished about for some of the nice bits. My companions regarded this hoirid breach of politeness with scowls of impatience, They declared with some warmth to the cook the foreigners did not know how to eat. 1 apologized as well as 1 could and endeavored thereafter to eat according to gaucho etiquette."
