When Beauty weeps the silent tears de scend In gentle April rain. Such melting wiles Must thaw the hardest heart and fervor lend To wreathe her face once mora in springtime smiles When Beauty weeps. When Beauty smiles the blushes on her cheek Outblush the rose; her eyes the stars outshine. Her dimpled face and wanton tresses speak OX brooks and fields, a summer ray t divine When Beauty smiles. When Beauty pouts her lips, once laughter-tossed. Betoken change; her eyelids, silken veiled, Now droop like flowers fondled by the frost, October's blush to gray November paled When Beauty pouts. When Beauty frowns her brow is winter bound, Her glances tender, warm, when pas sion fanned Grow cold. To warm their wings the cupids round Love's dying flame are grouped, a shiv ering band When Beauty frowns. A New England Heroine. 2 HEX the British and Tories attacked New Haven, Couu., and set a price on the head of Governor Griswold the latter fled to the town of Lyme, where his cousin, Mrs. Marvin, hid him for some days in a farmhouse. But at length the foe dis covered his retreat, and one sunny af ternoon In May he was routed from his biding place by the tidings that a band of horsemen was approaching to cap ture him. His only chance of escape was to reach the mouth of a little creek which emptied itself into the Connecticut Kiver just above' the entrance of the latter into Long Island Sound. There he had a boat stationed, with two faith ful attendants, hidden beneath the high banks of the creek. The distance from the farmhouse to the boat was two miles of the usually traveled road. But a little path across the farmer's orchard would bring him to the road only a mile from the boat and save a quarter's length of bis fearful run for life. Just where the narrow path from the orchard opened into the road Hetty Marvin sat bleaching her household linen. The long web of forty miles or more, which was diligently spun and woven during the long winter mouths was whitened in May and thus made ready for use. The business of bleaching was well economized, being usually done by the younger daughters of the family, who were not old enough to spin or strong enough for the heavier work of the kitchen or the dairy. The roll of linen was taken by the farmer or his stout "help" to a grassy plot beside a spring or meadow brook. There It was thoroughly wetted and spread upon the green turf to take the best heat of the sun by day and the dew by night. The little maiden who tended to it would sit near it. Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the young daughter of Governor Oriswold's cousin, when her hunted friend sprang past her into the road to escape his pur suers. Hetty was a timid child of about 12 years, yet thoughtful and wise beyond any of her elders. She was frightened by the headlong haste with which the Governor rushed across the meadow. But she quickly comprehend ed the scene and Instantly quieted her faithful Towser, who, though a friend of the family guest, thought it becom ing to bark loudly at his hurried foot steps. Her wise forethought arrested the Governor's notice and suggested a scheme to elude his pursuers. "Hetty," he said, "1 am flying for my life, and unless I can reach my boat be fore I am overtaken I am a lost man. You see the road forks here. But you must tell those who are chasing me that 1 have gone up the road to catch the mail wagon, which will soon be along, you know. Then they will turn off the other way." "Oh, cousin," said the little girl in an agony of distress, "I cannot tell a lie Indeed I cannot. Why did you tell which way you were going?" "Hetty, child, surely you would not betray me to my death? Hark! they are coming! I hear the click of their horses' feet. Oh, Hetty, tell them I have gone up the road instead of down, and heaven will bless you." "Heaven never blesses those who speak falsely. But 1 will not tell them which way you go, even if they kill me. So run as quickly as possible." ' "It's of no use. Unless I can deceive them I am a dead man." "Cousin, cousin, hide under my web of cloth. They'd never think of looking there for you. Come, get down as quickly as you can, and I'll cover you and stand sprinkling my linen." Angry that their expected prey had eswiped from the house where they hoped to secure him. the six mounted Tories, headed by a British officer, dashed along the road in swift pursuit. At sight of the girl in the meadow the leader of the party paused. "Child," he said sternly, "have you seen a man running hereabouts?" "Yes, sir," replied Hetty, trembling and flushing. "Which way did he go?" I promised not to tell, sir." "But you must or take the conse quences." . "I said I wouldn't tell if you killed; me," sobbed the frightened girl. "I'll have it out of her!" exclaimed the furious officer with an oath. "Let me speak to her," said his Tory zuide. "I know the child, I believe. Isn't your name Hetty Marvin i he , asked pleasantly. "Yes, sir." "And this man that ran by you a few minutes ago is your mother s cousin, isn't he?" Yes, sir, he is." 'Well, we are friends of his. What did he say to you when he came along?" He told me that he was fleeing for j his life." "Just so, Hetty; that was very true.! I hope he won't have to fly far. Where was he going to hide? You see I could help him if I knew his plans." J Now, Hetty was not a whit deceived by this smooth speech. But she was willing to tell as much of the truth as Would be consistent with his safety, and she judged that her frankness would save her kiusmaii better than her sil ence, so she answered her questioner candidly: My. cousin said he was going down: to the river where he had a boat and wanted me to tell the men that were chasing him that he had gone the other way to catch the mail wagon. "Why didn't you do as he told you. then, when I asked you where he had gone?" thundered the officer fiercely. "I could not tell a lie, sir," was the tearful answer. "Hetty," again began the smooth tongued Tory, "you are a nice child. Everybody knows you are a girl of truth. What did your cousin say wnen you told him you could not tell a false hood?" "He said he shouldn't think I'd betray him to his death?" "And you promised him that you wouldn't tell which way he went if you were killed for it?" "Yes, sir." "That was brave; and I suppose he thanked you for it and ran down the road as quickly as possible?" "I promised not to tell where- he went, sir." "Oh, yes, I forgot. Well, tell us his last words, and we won't trouble you any more." "His last words were, 'It's my only chance, child, and I'll get down as-you say.' " And, overcome with fright and the sense of her kinsman's danger should they rightly Interpret the language which she, had reported, she sobbed aloud and hid her face from sight. Her tormentors did not stay longer to soothe or question her. They all imme diately pushed rapidly on down to the river. Now, the Governor had arranged a signal with his boatman that a white cloth by day or a light by night dis played from the attic window of his hiding place, which was just visible at the month of the river, should inform them if he were in trouble and put them on the alert to help him. As soon, therefore, as he started from his cousin's, it floated from the window to warn them. And when they saw the pursuing party dash madly down the road to the river and recognized the British uniform of the leaders they pulled swiftly out to sea. The horse men reached the shore only in season to see the boat with two men in it near ly out of sight, and, supposing their destined prey had escaped, relinquished the pursuit. Meanwhile the victim lay safe and quiet where the shrewdness of the 1 t;L cousin had hidden him until the time came for her return for supper. Then he bade her go as usual to her home, telling her to ask her mother to place the signal lamp as soon as it grew dark in the window for the boatmen and send him some supper, with his valise, which, in the hurry of his departure, he had left behind. The signal had recalled the boat, which after twilight had ventured in sight of the shore and farmhouse, and the Governor quietly made his way to the river in safety. When he rejoined his father in a secure" home he named his infant daughter, which hal been born in his absence, Hetty Marvin, that he might be daily reminded of the little cousin whose truth and shrewdness saved his life. Exchange. His Denomination. Three men once stepped up to a noted revivalist, at the close of one of his evening meetings and asked him to de cide a point concerning which they had been disputing. . "One of my friends here," said the spokesman, "contends that you are a Baptist" "Why does he think I am a Baptist?" interrupted the evangelist. "Because he has seen you assisting enthusiastically at a baptism by im mersion. My other friend is equally sure you are a Methodist" "Why?" "Well, he has heard you say 'amen!' with much fervor when some good .Methodist brother has been praying. I differ with both. I say you are either a Congregationalist or a Presbyterian." "Why so?" "Well, I notice you always stand when you pray." "My brother," was the reply, "I have almost forgotten, but I think each one of you Is right. I belong to all four of those denominations." This, in the larger sense, was doubt less true. Old-Fashioned Plow. Nearly all of the Egyptian farmers use the same kind of plow that was used 5,000 years ago.

That there is no whipping boy in Germany was evidenced the other day when the empress sent her eldest son the future emperor, from the table on account of his rudeness. The prince It appears, was unmannerly to a young er brother, and the empress, turning to the French tutor, who on that occasion had charge of the princes, said: "Monsieur, I beg that yon will ask me to excuse his royal highness, th prince." The tutor begged that the prince be excused, and that young gentleman was forced to leave the table without fin ishing his meal. It is well known that the royal boys of Germany have had to grin and bear many a sound flogging administered by the imperial hand, along with. a vast deal of discipline from governors, tutors, etc. A different state of affairs this from the time when a boy was kept to be punished instead of a prince. In Eng land such a youth was called the whip ping boy, and a famous English artist, W. A. Stacey, painted a portrait of Prince Edward, afterward Edward V!., trying to defend his whipping boy from a flogging which he himself deserved. In those days a prince who wras to be a king was looked upon and treated as a person of great importance. His person was held to be sacred, and so it would never have done to punish him. If an English prince missed h's lessons, wa"s rude to his teachers, or committed any of the other naughty tricks common to saucy children his whipping boy was flogged. Cleveland Leader. Her Answer. I studied my tables over and over and backward and forward, too. But I couldn't remember six times nine, and I didn't know what to do Till my sister told me to play with my doll and not to bother my head. "If you call her 'Fifty-four' for awhile, you will learn it by heart, she said So I took my favorite, Mary Ann, though I thought 'twas a dreadful shame To give such a perfectly lovely child such a perfectly horrid name. And I called her my little "Fifty-four" a hundred times, till I knew The answer of six times nine as well as the answer of two times two. Next day Elizabeth Wigglesworth, who always acts so proud, Said, "six times nine is fifty-two, and I nearly laughed alond. But I wished I hadn't when the teacher said, "Now, Dorothy, tell if you can." For I thought of my doll, and sakes alive! I answered, "Mary Ann!" -Anna M. Prat Slate Pencils. Slate pencils were formerly cut from slate just as it is dug from the earth. Pencils so made were objected to on account of the grit which they contain. To overcome this difficulty, says the London Engineer, an inventor devised an Ingenious process by which the slate is ground to a very fine powder, an grit and foreign substances removed and the powder bolted through silk cloth much In the same manner as flour Is bolted. The powder is then made Into a dough, and this dough is subjected to a very heavy hydraulic pressure, which presses the pencils out the required shape and diameter, nut in lengths of about three feet. While yet soft the pencils are cut into the desired lengths and set out to dry In the open air. After they are thoroughly dry the pencils are placed in steam baking kilns, where they receive thu proper temper. The Song of the Top. Spinning! Spinning! Spinning!

Where the Insane Find Welcome, Good Treatment and Cure. The little city of Gheel, in Belgium, is a resort for demented people. Ac cording to a legend that has had, aim even at the present day still has, much weight with the peasantry of Belgium, the city started as follows: Many centuries ago, on the site where Gheel now stands, an insane father murdered his lovely young daughter. A shrine was erected to her memory and was called "Saint Dymphna." The belief arose that Saint Dymphna particularly favored the insane, aud did miraculous things for them; in conse quence, hundreds of insane peop'.e wers yearly brought to her shrine that she might intercede with God for their res toration. Oftentimes many of the unfortunates lingered around the shrine for months at a time, finally it became a permanent abiding place for many, and gradually j a city came into existence. It now has a population of about ten thousand, and j at least every fourth resident is insane The Insane that come to them are not lodged la asylums; those not easily managed are taken care of in suburban cottages, and the mildly insane board with the private families of the city. Very few of them are under restrictions of any nature, and they are met with everywhere in the city, walking about with eutire freedom. The coming of an insane boarder into a Gheel family is made a gala-day af fair. Every member of the fafily dresses for the occasion, the house is beautifully decorated, and a card, bear ing the word "welcome" in large, bright letters, is placed in a conspicuous place. The head of the family introduces the newcomer as "friend" or "relative," and after a warm greeting there is a banquet and a general good time. Next day the boarder goes to work with other members of the family, for to keep the insane employed is a part of the treatment. However, they are never compelled to work. Unmanage able patients are coaxed into doing what is thought best for them. Under no circumstances is an insane person irritated or dealt with harshly in the city of Gheel. Nor are they ever spoken of as being insane or lunatics; they are called either "innocents" or friends." They are given an abundance of plain, substantial food, plenty or out door exercise, and are in every way treated in the most humane way. As a result, the statistics show that at least 60 per cent of the patients go away- cured, and the incurables are almost in variably greatly benefited. When you visit Belgium don't fail to see the strange city of Gheel. It is but a short distance from Antwerp. Felt His Superiority. This man, your honor, was abusing every policeman he came across," testi fied an officer before Justice Martin in prosecuting a hungry looking individ ual who had been taken into custody the previous evening. "We tried to j simple say-so could make it unchange avoid placing him under arrest, but he at)le, j found that ever after that I was continued his abuse until it could not be endured any longer." "What was the worst thing he called you?" inquired the court. "He said, your honor," was the offi cer's reply, "that he was so much su perior to any officer he had ever seen that he would not notice them." The justice looked at the hungry-appearing Individual before him and ask ed if he had uttered this slander against the police officer. "Yes, your honor," said the prisoner, "and I repeat it. I never knew a polict officer that was not a scoundrel, and in this one respect I am superior to all of them. I can give them cards and spades when it comes to separating an Individual from his money." The court inflicted a fine of $1 and costs against the prisoner. Chicago Chronicle. Keeps Him Busy.

LONG face Is not a passport to heaven. "Every sin be comes a tiger on our track. What a little god some very big people worship. God's place for a Christian is where he is need ed the most. God is not in the religion that is not using both hands to lift up men. There isn't gold enough in the world to make a discontented man rich. Are you putting any treasure where It cannot be stolen or burned up? It Is not wise to cut down the thistles in such a way as to scatter the seeds. Love never turns back because it sees a mountain or hears a lion roar. The preacher whose religion Is all In his head does not believe in revivals. Time sets his chisel a little deeper whenever there Is a frown upon the face. The hardest thing the devil ever tried to do was to starve a good man to death. Egotism always looks at his "neigh bor" through the wrong end of the tele scope. The devil's great aim Is to make It easy for men to do wrong and hard to do right. God is always looking for a better place in which to put the man whom he can trust. Every Christian should try to do something every day that will make his pillow softer. Whenever a man is converted, God has given his neighbors another'proof that the Bible is true. It is remarkable how many different kinds of fish the devil can catch when he baits his hook with money. When man makes a religion he tries to make one that will let him stay mean and still respect himself. Angels can tell how much righteous ness there is in a nation by the way it deals with the liquor traffic' If we were half as anxious as we try to make people think we are we would accomplish twice as much as we do. One reason why more mountains are not being moved by faith, is that so few people are willing to begin with mole hills. HOW TOM THUMB GOT HIS TITLE The Name Was Given by Barnnm and the "General" by Queen Victoria. " The Countess Magri, formerly Mrs. Tom Thumb, in a paper in the Woman's Home Companion, gives the following account of how the famous dwarf came by his name: "In speaking of Mr. Stratton I have used the name General Tom Thumb, for by that name the public best knew him. Perhaps, a statement of how he received his title will be of interest a story which even Mr. Barnum has neg lected to make known, but which Mr. Stratton himself told me. When Mr. Barnum first made his acquaintance and persuaded his parents to allow their child to travel it was thought a good scheme to introduce him to the public as 'Tom Thumb.' So as Tom Thumb he was heralded by all the skill which made Barnum so famous, and by that name he was Introduced to Queen Victoria and many of the royal and titled frequenters of St. James. "On his first visit he had amused the Queen by asking particularly after the Prince of Wales, and when he was the s'econd time summoned to appear at the palace he was presented both to the Prince of Wales and to the Princess Royal, who afterward became Empress of Germany. As he stood beside the children his smallness was more no ticeable. The Duke of Wellington was present, and noticed this fact, evidently with much interest, as he said to some one standing near, 'Their Royal High nesses are head and shoulders taller than Tom Thumb.' 'This remark,' the Ueneral told me, 'was overheard by the Queen, and turning to the Duke she said, "General Tom Thumb." Bowing low to her majesty the Duke gave me the military salute, repeating the title, "General Tom Thumb." Everybody bowed, and although I did not fully comprehend then that her majesty's addressed as General.' "Mr. Stratton also said that he knew enough of the war history of the Duke at Wellington to be greatly interested in him, and to feel that an introduction to this 'great fighter,' as he called, was worth more than a chat with this royal boy and girl." An Opinion Indorsed. "It takes genius and hard work to make a great actor," exclaimed the chubby matinee favorite, who was smoking a cigarette and reading a fifty cent novel. And the press agent looked up from the piles of fiction which his facile pen was tracing, and In a voice that shook with feeling, exclaimer: "You bet it does!" Washington Star. Hard to Account for.

A pessimist is a person who believe in a hoodoo. asransaffls Many a horse when fed on the street wastes a portion of the feed by spilling it out of the feeding device in trying to get at it, and with the idea of prevent ing this loss Thomas A. Howard of Baltimore has devised the feed bag shown in our illustration. The inten tion is to supply just enough feed at a time in the lower chamber to keep even with the demand, the remainder of the grain being contained In the hopper shown at the rear. The supply hopper is suspended behind the ani mal's throat by straps attached to the bridle, and the front portion Is held AUTOMATIC FEED BAG FOB HOEBES. in place by a strap attached to the check rein. A stiffening ring is placed at the top of the feed pouch, and in the bottom is a wooden disk hollowed out in the upper side to throw the feed toward the center and prevent its ac cumulation around the sides. It is ob vious that the grain will feed by grav Ity into the feed pouch, and that the supply will be dependent upon the amount consumed by the animal. An important feature of the device is that when the horse lowers its head the pouch is raised by the action of the check rein, thus allowing the animal to obtain a good mouthful with little ex ertion. Husking Horse. The husking horse shown In the cut is made of light .material. The rung should be one and one-fourth inch stuff, put in with shoulders cut down to one Inch where it goes through the legs. COKN HUSKING HOBSK. The rung is put down so the ears of corn will not catch when pulled for ward. Corn husking makes lame backs and sore hands. The horse will help the back, and the following recipe will help the hands: Take white wax, one fourth ounce; spermaceti, one-fourth ounce; almond oil, one ounce; glycerin, two ounces. Melt the wax and stir In the oil and glycerin. Ohio Farmer. Ice House of Straw. The illustration, reproduced from the American Agriculturist, shows how to turn to good account straw stacks sometimes found on farms. The cheap est sort of a framework which need not be tightly boarded up will answer. The floor should be leveled up and a drain, consisting of a trench partly filled in ICE HOUSE WITH T BENCH. with stones, dug to carry off meltage water. Entrance should be through a long passage with several locks to ef fectually cut off air currents. All sur face water must be conducted away from such a stack and hogs kept out or they will burrow in and admit air to the ice. Grange Libraries. One of the great advantages of the Grange is that it may, at small cost to each member, procure an assortment of agricultural works upon almost every department of farming, and these, with the publications of the Boards of Agri culture and the Experiment Stations, would make accessible to all the opin ions of the best authorities upon al most any subject. The individual farm er may not feel that he can afford to purchase all of such books as he may need, but if each member pays yearly the price of one book he will have the advantage of studying many. If es says are to be read or lectures deliv ered by a member they can use those books for such facts as they wish to present, and they will speak with au thority, while those whose experience does not coincide with that of the writ er, or who does not agree with the the ories vlvar-jed, should not be afraid to gg-n way wtswrogiiiijw ;ruhdh'm express his opinion and give his reasons for it. We have seen times when the books were wrong and the farmer right. though usually scientific investigation reaches results that give more accurate information than guesswork, though the latter may be founded on a certain amount of practical experience. And the agricultural papers should always be kept on file In the Grange room, and speakers led to comment on such state ments as they see In them that seem new or Interesting to them. General Purpose Farming. It has been well said that the gen eral-purpose farmer who is also a good gardener has a better living for him self and family than the special-crop farmer, If he does not make as much money some years. Why should he not? He grows his own beef and pork and mutton, his poultry and eggs, his fruits and vegetables, and If he wants to eat them he has not to count the cost of them. If he has any surplus he can get money to supply such other necessaries as the farm does not supply. If railroads are stopped by a strike or town roads blocked by heavy snowdrifts, he has no fear of starvation, and if unexpected visitors arrive, there is no need of rushing off to market to get food for them. He is the ideal Independent farmer, If he is out of debt, and he and his family are in good health. And they are the kind who are apt to be out of debt, for such a one will usually sell more than he is obliged to buy every year. Cattle for Breeding. There Is a marked Increase in the de mand for fine cattle for breeding pur poses, which is not confined to any spe cial kind, says the American Cultiva tor. All the leading breeds have their friends and advocates, and each has. special points of merit worthy of con sideration. Just at present there is an embargo on European cattle. Official advices to the Department of Agricul ture report that the foot and mouth disease is very prevalent among live stock throughout almost all of Europe, except Norway, Sweden and Holland, and importations of animals from Eu ropean countries, principally Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and Switzer land, Is being prohibited by this Gov ernment. A special permit from the Secretary of Agriculture Is required for the entry of all these animals subject to contagious disease, and applications for permits from the countries where the disease Is prevalent are being re fused by the department. Fall Sowing of Clover. A New Jersey correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph writes that he has had much trouble in getting a catch of clover, and in one field he had failed several times to get a catch of grass or clover with wheat. One year he plowed it as soon as the wheat was off, and mixing a pound of flat turnip seed with the clover and timothy seed for an acre he sowed the field with that combina tion and rolled it in without harrow ing. The season was dry, but the tur nips came up well, and when cold weather came he could have harvested a large crop. Most of them were left to freeze in the ground, me green leaves nearly covered the ground, and when snow came they caught It aud held it there effectually protecting the clover and timothy. In the spring the turnips were decayed and furnished much food for the grass and clover, and he had one of the best stands that he had obtained in many years. Grass Farming. Few articles In the agricultural Una of writing have attracted more atten tion or perhaps done more to arouse a determination to do better than those of Mr. George M. Clark, which we have published this season, upon grass grow ing. Many writers before have urged the need of more thorough fitting of the land before sowing grass seed, of using manure and fertilizers more free ly, and of seeding with more seed. But with Mr. Clark it is not a matter of the ory. He has practiced what others have preached, and he has practical results to show for what he has done. Others may have grown as tall grass, but they guessed at the height, and did not measure it. Some may have had as much hay upon acre, but they did not weigh it. It did not become a mat ter of record, and a true statement of facts would find many doubting Thom ases. American Cultivator. Clover Straw. The straw left after clover seed hae been threshed out is not as good as clover hay early cut, yet if it Is handled properly it makes very good forage. It should not be allowed to get too ripe before cutting, as, If it does, the seeds from the larger heads which ripen first will drop out in the curing, and the seed saved will be from the smaller heads that ripen last. Thus is the seed less in quantity and often inferior in quality to those which might have ob tained by cutting when the larger heads had just turned a deep brown, while the value of the straw is lessened.
