HO TIME FOB HOLIDAYS.
He never had time to play,
He never bad time to rest,
6ut he worked away and thought of a
day
When what he had done would attest
The usefulness of bis life;
His worth as a man among men ;
Then he would quit the strife
He would rest on his laurels then.
As a bondsman chained he slaved,
Ever looking ahead ;
As a miser he hoarded and saved
Grudging his daily bread !
Beyond was a happy day (
Nearer and nearer it drew
When bis work should be put away, -
And care should be banished, tool
At last, upon a day,
When the sun was low In the west,
He put his work away,
And sat him down to rest;
But where was the dreomed-of bliss?
And why was it now denied?
Things seemed to have gone amiss
So he brooded awhile, and died.
The Death Head

It whs bought by Mortimer Davent
at a sale held in a rambling old country
bouse somewhere within twenty miles
of London, and be was first uttracted
to It by Its horribly repulsive appear
ance. I allude to the niuinnilfled head of n
Chinaman In a sealed - gluss case,
shrunken ond brown in appearance, and
with the lips, ns Is usual, stitched to
gether. Not very formidable so far, and It
was not until you noticed the eyes that
you realized how extremely sinister an
aspect they gave to the whole face.
Deeply sunken with half-closed lids,
they gave one ever the chilling Impres
sion that the sight still lurked vvlthlu
them, and move where you would about
the room their stealthy gaze would fol
low. Mortimer Davent wns a strange man,
and strange things had a fascination
for him, therefore he carried his treas
ure home and placed it amongst the
almost unique collection of curios he
had gathered upon his travels abroad
And that same day there come an old
and valued friend to see him. He ar
rived rather early in the evening, to
find Parent alone In his study, with
a pipe between his teeth, gloating over
his latest purchase. As the visitor was
announced, he rose quickly, and moving
the case aside, came forward with out
stretched hand.
"My dear Crosby," he exclaimed, "the
very man I wanted to see! Sit down at
once and light up. I've got something
to show you."
Nothing loth, Crosby drew up a chair
and rubbed bis hands In pleased antici
pation. "What's the treasure this time?" he
Inquired with Interest. "I thought you'd
got everything worth having In that
collection of yours. What Is It? An
other bronze?"
Davent shook his head. lie was con
ceollng the case with his sleeve.
"Wrong, old fellow. Guess again!"
"A crystal ! A rare piece of china !
A black-letter book !" Then seeing that
Davent still shook his head; "I give
It up. Show It to me, whatever It Is,
and put an end to my suspense,"
"It's the mummified head of a Chi
naman !" said Davent.
Ills friend's face fell. "Is that all?"
he exclaimed. "Why, you bought a head
not so very long ago! I thought you
had discovered something out of the
ordinary.''
"Well, this Is out of the ordinary,"
replied Davent, and, moving his arm,
he drew the case forward until It stood
exactly beneath the rays of the big
shaded lamp above them. "Have the
goodness to exnmlno that face care
fully I"
Crosby, bending forward, compiled.
Then he drew back and, sitting upright,
gave a low whistle of surprise.
"Jove, man ! You are right," he com
mented. "This Is out of the ordinary.
Those eyes, If they were fully opened,
would be simply diabolical. The fellow
must have been as cunning as old Nick
himself. I'm hanged If the brute Isn't
watching us all the time I"
"There you are! That's Just Itl"
cried Davent excitedly. "The very
thing that struck me! The whole even
ing I've sat In this room, and the beg
gar's never once token his eyes off ine.
A minute ago I could have sworn ho
was grinning at me."
Crosby sprang to his feet
"liook here," he exclaimed. "I'm go
ing to fetch old Hammond. We must
see If he notices anything strange.
He's lived In China nearly all his life,
and If there should be anything super
natural about the thing he's the man to
find It out. Are you game?"
"By all means," assented Davent,
consulting hla watch. "At this time
you ought to catch him, and, for good
ness' sake, don't be long. This thing la
getting on my nerves,"
When Hammond entered, without
knowing In the least why he had been
fetched, the two men watched hliu
keenly. He greeted Davent lu his usual
quiet manner, and then his eye fell
upon the glass ease still standing upon
the table.
"Hallo!" he exclaimed. "Something
new," and advancing closer lie carefully
adjusted his plne-ue.
Neither Davent nor Crosby were
quite prepared for the atrauge scene
that followed. Hammond had but taken
one glance at the ghastly head when he
suddenly uttered a loud and terrible
cry uud flung up his arms.
i
They caught him before he fell, and
between them supported him to a chair
He was horribly frightened; they could
see that by his pallid face and the
twitching of his ashen lips, but with
an effort he pulled himself together.
"That that head!" he gasped brok
enly, clutching at the arms of his chair
with nervous hands. "Where has it
come from? Who gave it to you?""1
"I bought it only to-day at a sale.
Nobody seemed to know anything about
it, and I got it for a mere song."
"You are wondering, no doubt, at my
agitation," exclaimed Hammond. "Suf
fice it to say that I recognized that
Chinaman's face. Davent, I have a
favor to ask of you which you must
grant. Let me buy this thing of you !
I am a wealthy man; you shall have
anything you like to ask, only let me
buy it!" For an Instant Davent hesi
tated.
"If you want it so much, Hammond,"
at length came the reply, "you shall
certainly have it ; but, first of all, might
I ask your reason? I feel sure there Is
some mystery!"
Hammond covered his eyes with his
hand.
"At all costs it must be burled," be
exclaimed. "And I must be the person
to do It. At all costs I must do itl"
A little later he left, , carrying the
mummified head with him.
A day elapsed, and Davent heard no
more of his friend; but when he de
scended to breakfast upon the morning
of the second day he found a letter
awaiting him addressed In the wide,
sprawling hand he recognized instantly
as belonging to Hammond. He tore It
open and quickly scanned the contents.
"Dear Devant," it ran, "I feel that
some explanation of my seeming strange
conduct the 'other night Is In some
Pleasure due to you. That explanation
of necessity takes the form of a con
fession which I trust you will hold
sacred between us. In the mummified
head you purchased I recognized a
mau who years ago was my servant out
In Pekin. Like all Chinamen, he wa
a liar and as cunning a thief as ever
drew breath. He stole enough from me
to set himself up for life. In those
days I had a quick and fiery temper,
and to draw a long story short I caught
the fellow one evening red-handed. I
had warned him more than once with
out effect, and now, although he knew
perfectly well there was no escape, he
grinned like a mocking demon straight
into my face.
"That roused the fury within me,
and, ileklng up n stick that lay close
at band, I administered a sounder
thrashing than he had ever felt In his
life before.
"In my anger I laid It on perhaps a
bit heavier than 1 ought to have doue,
and, anyway, I did not cease till my
arm ached. The man was small and
a trifle fragile-looking, aud when my
left hand relaxed Its grip he dropped
limply upon the ground.
"'Now, you devil V I exclaimed, 'let
that be a lesson to you to keep your
thieving fingers off other people's prop
erty.' "He said nothing In reply, but Just
turned his head ns he lay there aud
looked up into my face. Davent, that
look will haunt me to my dying day.
Fear, hatred nnd malevolent cunning
all fought for mastery wlthlu the shin
ing blackness of his eyes. I shudder
as I think of It. As you have already
guessed, the man died, and I, his mur
derer, tied from China ! Now, you can
understand my horror and my great de
sire that the head should be buried
deep, deep in the enrth, where the eyes
can no longer see me. Davent! they
watch me! they watch me!
"To-morrow Is the anniversary of the
murder, nnd at dawn they shall be for
ever hidden." The letter ended abruptly
without a signature, and laying it down
bestde his plate, Davent fell Into a train
of thought.
He was aroused by the somewhat
qolsy entrance of Crosby, who, unan
nounced, came rushing luto the room.
He was evidently wrought up to a high
pitch of excitement, and seizing Davent
by the shoulder he burst Into a volley
of wild explanations.
"For heaven's sake, come with me at
once to Hammond. It's our fault, and
I shall never forgive mysejf for bring
ing him here to see it. It's knocked me
up so I'm nearly off my head!" Re
moving his hand he turned away and
began to stride up and down the room.
Davent had risen to his feet.
"Calm yourself!" he said, quietly. "I
don't know what you are talking about.
What is this about Hammond?"
"Forgive mel" exclaimed Crosby.
"It has been a terrible shock. I want
you to come with me now, without ask
ing any questions, round to Hammond's
rooms. Ills housekeeper found him this
morning, foully murdered, his face hor
ribly mutilated I A doctor is there now
making an examination, and If we are
quick we shall be la time to hear his
report."
When the two men entered, the doe

had finished his Inspection of the corpse
and the sheet had been drawn up to
cover the dead man's face. .
"It Is most extraordinary," he ex
claimed, upon seeing them. "There is
something very strange here which I
do not understand. Had the deceased
gentleman a pet of any sort a cat, for
Instance?"
Crosby shook his head. Not to his
knowledge, but they would make assur
ance doubly sure by summoning the
housekeeper. He rang the bell and the
housekeeper came in, very pale and
trembling and almost upon the verge
of tears.
No, she did not keep a cat because
Mr. Hammond disliked them so; in
fact, they kept no animals at all about
the place.
Davent turned to the doctor. "What,
if I may ask, suggested the question to
you?"
"Because," replied the doctor, slow
ly, "the man died from injuries caused
apparently by the bites of some animal.
His throat has been simply torn out,
and there are extensive marks of teeth
all over the face. If It did not sound
too absurd, I could almost swear that
they are the teeth marks of a human
being. The death was a singularly ter
rible one."
A low exclamation from Crosby drew
their attention. He was standing be
fore something upon the chest of draw
ers, and without moving he stretched
out his hand and drew Davent close
beside him.
"Look," he whispered, hoarsely, "does
that convey nothing to you?" and he
pointed to the mummified head which
reposed there In Its glass case. Much
of its ghastly expression had faded out,
for the hitherto half-closed eyes were
tightly shut. The strangest thing about
It now wns the mouth, and as Duvent
stared at It he felt the cold drops of
sweat break upon his forehead.
The lips were no longer stitched to
gether, and smeared upon them lay the
crimson stain of blood. Philadelphia

WHAT BECOMES OF SISSY BOYSP
Da They Become Leaders In Busi
ness and Intellectual Pursuit f
Just thinking about the old schooi
days again and wondering what be
comes of the sissy fellows that are to
be found in every country school. You
have asked yourself that question 50,
000 times. You know, the fellows who
were so suspiciously, unnaturally good,
proper and correct, that you, being a
normal boy, had an Intense desire to
bloody their noses and spoil their
clothes.
Remember Ethelbert Johnson Proc
tor? Maybe that wasn't his nnine In
your school, but you had a fellow cut
off the same piece. Ethelbert's mother
made him wear curls until he was 11
years old, and he wore knee breeches
until he was so tall that he looked like
a pair of stilts. It Is when he was
about 10 years old that you remember
him best. He didn't play rough games.
He didn't spit through his teeth, was
never late to school, wouldn't rob a
bird's nest nor break windows in a
vacant house.
He always wore a clean collar, and,
oh the disgrace of It, he blacked his
shoes every morning. To be fair, we
will have to admit that he was a hog
for knowledge. He gulpel down the
stuff that wns iu the books like a pup
swallows milk, nnd was at the head
of the cluss. He could tell you the
answer to 11 time 11 ns easy as any
thing. And every time he got a hard knock
or heard a harsh worot he told the
teacher. He was a tale-bearer. It
came natural to him to snoop and
sneak. If you whispered, he reported
it. Most of the time he played on the
girls' side of the school yard.
Everything about him was narrow,
and you could safely wager that he
came from the kind of a home where
everything was according to rule. One
of those houses where they never open
a window for fear the sun will fade
the carpet And when examination day
came, it was this same pale, nice-looking
Ethelbert who took most all of the
prizes and answered all the puzzling
questions.
You threw rocks at him as he went
down the road with his arms full of
books, and then you grew up and moved
away and never heard anything more
of Ethelbert Johnson Proctor.
But what becomes of these fellows
Do they ever get to be bankers, con
gressmen, or senators, or do they build
railronfls or factories? Is there a place
In the world for that bloodless sort of
human, or do they Just dry up and
blow away?
If they do, it is Just as well, for this
Is a world that calls for red blood,
Hnd more of it every year. It needs
brains, but they must be backed by
strong bodies.
Wouldn't you like to know what be
came of Ethelbert Johnson Proctor?

Budding Frnlt Tree.
It Is sometimes desirable to bud or
chard trees at a time when cleft graft
ing can not be done. The work can be
done in late August, September and
eaily October. The purpose of budding
trees is very much the same as that
of grafting. The apple, plum and rose
bush particularly, may be operated up
on to advantage and with good results.
The work of budding can be done by
n sharp, round-pointed knife and a
piece of yarn. Usually the best results
follow by selecting a place where the
branch is from to Inch in diame
ter, nnd where the bark is smooth and
healthy. With the rounded part of
the knife cut lengthwise of the branch,
'tint through the bark, a slit about 1
nehes long, and at the top of this
ilit cut across about Inch, as shown
it a. Next remove from a branch
of the same season's growth of the de
sired variety one of the strong, healthy
THE STEPS IN BUDDING.
buds by cutting from below the bud up
and under it. Start about 1 inch be
low the bud and come out again 1 inch
above the bud, as at b. Cut deep
enough Into the wood so as not to in
jure the bud, and cut it so as not to
have too much wood under the bud.
Then place the bud, c, on the end of
the knife and push down Into the slit,
as above described. Push securely in
place, so that the bud is about 1 inch
below the upper cut. Then wrap care
fully with yarn, as at d. In two or
three weeks examine and see if the bud
bus grown fast and so that the yarn
is not injuring it Should the yarn
be loose, retle. The bud should start
to grow the following spring.
Success largely depends upon wheth
er the stock is growing vigorously or
whether the bud is healthy. The bud
serves the same- purpose as the scion
in grafting. From it springs a limb
which will produce the kind of fruit
borne by the tree from which the bud
was taken. W. H. Underwood, In
Farm and Home.
Protect the Birds.
The farmer is liable to forget his
bird friends. I wish to tell some
of my farmer friends what I have done
this spring, in . regard to our quails.
When our assessor came around I
gave in some quails, as well as do
mestic fowls for taxation, as I knew
about how many we had on our farm
when winter was over. Some will say
that you could not tell how many
birds you have, because they will be
en your farm one day, and on your
neighbor's the next. While that is
true, do not our domestic fowls go
over on our neighbor's place, also,
If you give them opportunity to do
so? Which most people do that 1
know of. But do they not come back
home every evening to roost? It Is
the same with the quail, and he will
roost on the farm where he was bred
and hatched, providing he is unmolest
ed by hunters, hawks, etc. If you
were to chase your domestic fowls
with dog and gun one-tenth as much
as you do the poor little quail, In the
fall of the year, do you think that
there would be many chickens on the
roost in your chicken house at night?
The writer has known coveys that
after being chased and shot at all
day, would be whistling the call Just
at dusk, and after getting back to
gether would fly to roost
Hblnk that anything that Is ns
valuable as the quail and stays with
you through such circumstances,
should be protected better than most
of our farmers are doing. J. II. T., In
the Indiana Farmer.
Getting a Start with Sheep.
When the farmers In the corn and
grass states reach the point where they
have their fields all fenced hog tight
they should not delay for any consider
able length of time getting a start in
sheep, says Wallace's Farmer. It Is
not necessary to have a large flock. It
Is a good deal better not to have It for
two or three reasons : One Is that sheep
do not do well with hogs and cattle.
This Is the reason why so few sheep are
kept In the hog and cattle country.
Another reason Is that those who have
had no experience In sheep would do
well to advance slowly, and, if need be
retreat rapidly. Twenty-five ewes and
a good buck are as many as the Inex
perienced farmer should start with. The
expense of these Is comparatively small,
the possible loss therefore not great In
case the roan should prove not to be a
fit man to handle sheep. There are some
men of this kind. . The chances of loss,
however, are very small where the
farmer has any kind of sheep gumption
shout him.
The Black Raspberry.
The black raspberry has its peculiari
ties, and among them is that of the
annual travel to new soil by means of
the tips. Stocks from the hill are com
paratively worthless for new planta
tions; and growers of Valuable varieties
must obtain their plants from the tips
of the present year's growth. The first
port of July, if it has not been attend
ed to sooner, when the growing canes
have reached the height of 4 feet, nip
out the point with thumb and finger,
and soon branches will come out along
the cane, increasing the number to take
root and adding to the productiveness
of the plant the next season. Leave
the bearing cane in Its place until fall,
Later, when it Is time for the tips to
attach themselves to the soil, the root
ing can be facilitated by a slight cov
ering of dirt In preparing for the
crop in spring head in the branches to
two or three feet according to their
strength.
Testing the Health of an Animal.
The pulse of a horse when at rest
beats forty times per minute; of an
ox from fifty to fifty-five; of a sheep
and a pig about seventy to eighty.
The pulse may be felt wherever a
big artery crosses a bone. It Is gener
ally examined in the horse on the cord
which passes over the bone of the lower
Jaw in front of its curved position, or
in the bony ridge above the eye; and
in cattle over the middle of the first
rib; in sheep by placing the hand on
the left side, where the beating of the
heart may be felt.
Any material variations of the pulse
from the figures given above may be
considered as a sign' of disease. If
rapid, hard and full it is an indica
tion of high fever or Inflammation; if
rapid, small and weak, low fever, loss
of blood or weakness. If slow the pos
sibilities point to brain disease, and If
irregular to heart troubles.
Sow Fall Wheat Early.
In the great corn belt of the Middle
West most farmers are afraid their
wheat will make too much top in the
fall and sow very late in order to avoid
the Hessian fly. As a rule, however, It
Is better to sow early enough to get
eight or ten Inches growth. Harrow
the seed bed frequently, making a fine
dust mulch, which will conserve moist
ure and cause regular germination.
Wheat put in this way makes a strong
er growth in the spring and matures at
least a week earlier. If early and late
seeded wheat come through the winter
without injury the early wheat will al
ways outyleld the other, although it
may have a tendency to lodge. Watch
your own wheat next spring and see
how it comes out and then sow next
fall at a time to make it better the fol
lowing year.

Intensive Farming,
The possibilities of a small farm un

shown In the following record of pro
duction from eleven acres, located near
Reading, Pa. : Three thousand six hun
dred and fifteen bunches of radishes,
30 bushels of white China radishes,

strawberries, 673 bunches and 20 bush

1,000 roots of horseradish, 2,000 stalks

bushels of artichokes, and 8 bushels of
popcorn.
Do Not Rob Yourself.
Have you ever noticed that the farm
ers who buy corn, clover, hay and oil
cake for feeding their stock always
have the most fertile farms? The man
who practices selling his grain crops Is
taking Just that much fertility from his
own farm and selling it at the price of
grain. It la a very bad practice.
