TIE SHAFTS PRIVATE BALLET An Eng
lish girl joined the ballet troupe which the
Shah organized in London, and without
doubt Persia would have had an English
queen but for the unhappy fact that in
Paris the Shah succeeded in adding two
French performers to his troupe. In the
first performance thereafter the English
girl saw, or thought she saw her Eastern
master bestowing too much favor on the
new comers, who really threw their shape
ly limbs much higher than she, and, stung
by Jealous wrath. the plucky little woman
planted succession of right and left
handlers and sundry kicks ON the persons
of her rivals, that were far more vigorous
than graceful. The French rallied and a
general engagement came off. For awhile
the Shah labored under the delusion that
this was part of the ballet and enjoyed
it hugely, but when he saw that two thirds
of his troupe had black eyes and bloody
moses, while the English girls lovely
countenance resembled a railroad map OF

Coal BuENING Engines The Eastern

having Il cab nearly as high rs Il Pullman
car, and u boiler eight feet longer than in
the usual pattern, extending back to the
rear of the frame, 50 that the fireman 5
post is in the tender On top of the boiler,
in the two story cab, is provided Il seat on
either side, one for the engineer and the
other for the fireman when he is not other
wise engaged. The engineers seat is on
the right hand side above the running
board, where he is completely surrounded
by glass, and is completely protected from
the weather AT his side are all the yari-
Gus appliances for controlling the machn-
cry. This enables him to manage any and
all portions Of his engine with hardly a
motion Of his body, while, being at 50
great an elevation, he has II largely ex-
tended view Of the road ahead. All the
machinery Of the engine is of highly pol
ished steel and iron, the finish being fully
equal to the best stationary engine work

fifteen in the other engines. The drivers
are five feet in diameter and the cylinders
are seventeen inches in diameter, with
twenty-four inch stroke. The machines

By the River.

The shadows of the twilight grow deeper:
The river is fading from sight;

And am alone with the night.
In darkness and gloom, noble river,
Thou art noi>eleSsly floating away:
In darkness and gloom am floating.

The learning of Plato and Pascal
Is maolly at work in my brain;
am satisfied about nothing

Does Justice exist? Oh. where is it?
still the heart of the tyrant is stone,
Still his victims are toiling, despairing;
Still he heedS not, he hears not, their moan
''ris vain that You tell me, hereafter
These things are not to be so;
We are only able to reason
From that which we see and we know
For centuries long have the curses
OF the hcart-broken pierced to the skies;
For centuries long has no answer
Returned To their desolate cries.

And gently she taught me my prayer.

Cutting Stalks.

The old-fashioned way of harvesting
corn was to cut the stalks as soon rs the
ears We're glazed, leaving the butts to
stand until the corn was ripe and ready to
harvest. Some farmers still adhere to
this practice, but the majority have aban-
doned it for what seems to us the far pre-
terable way of cutting up the entire
growth of corn as soon rs the kernels are
well glazed. The saving by this method
is both in labor and in fodder
1t is much easier to cut up the stalks
when they are green and soft than after
probably cut and shock the whole growth
as easily as he can cut the tops one by one
and carry them together and out OF the
field to be cured
If the entire stalks are cut up as soon as
| the corn is glazed. nearly all of the leaves
will remain unhurt by the frost, and the
tibres which no beast will eat will cure
| and remain sweet and edible. When corn
is once shocked the farmer may gather
| and husk it at his leisure the stalks are
all cured when he takes them to his barn,
and will neither mould nor rot
Standing corn wastes badly after the
broken down, and eaten by squirrels and
birds. When the tops are cut, the butt S
which remain standing till late in the fall
are nearly worthless for fodder For these
reasons we advise our farmer friends to
cut and shock their corn.
We know it is claimed by some that the
corn ripens better when exposed to the
sun and is heavier than when ripened i'll
shocks, but this is very doubtful, and even
if it be admitted that we get one or two
per cent. less corn than we should to let
the ears stand, this is hardly worthy OF
consideration in view of the far greater
loss we sustain on the fodder. AS to the
shiftless policy of letting the corn stand
tops and all until husking time, it is one
which no farmer who isn't ambitious to
end his days in the poorhouse can afford;
In this State the fodder to be obtained
from the corn field is nearly as important
as the "shelled corn," and any course
which does not save both is foolish and
disastrous. Manchester Mirror

ACCOMPANYING the appeal of Baez
and others for United States protectorate
of San Domingo, sent out from Washing
ton Yesterday, was a note Of Secretary
Fish to the late consul at SANTANA Bay,
regrettng that Re did not transmit a propo-
sition from BA,z in August, when he
appeared to have had it in his possession.
This regret Was necessary in diplomatic
courtesy, hut we doubt if Secretary Fish
would have been greatly shocked If the
consul had never recollected that such a
communication was in his possession. San
Domingo has become a tedious subject
with the public, and must be nuisance in
the Cabinet.
The only effect of this new request of
Baez for protectorate will be to convince
people who before had lingering sympa-
thy for his cause, that his government is
incompetent, and that under whatever sys-
tenn it may be held San Domingo must be
burden to its rulers for many years. It
is not recommendation that the little de-
spised repablic of Hayti, if Baez is to be
believed, is constant menace to San Do
mingo. The United States have poor
houses and jails enough already, without
assuming the care of a community which is
incompetent to control its passions or to
maintain its government in a decent man
ner. But, aside from the particular de-
merits of this case, the people of the Uni
ted States are opposed to protectorates,
filibustering and annexation generally, and
this fact ought to decide the fate of this
appeal at once.-N. 7. Ereninq Post

CRANBERRIES FROM THE JERSEY
SwAMPs.- "A Philadelphia paper says
Shipping cranberries from the New jersey
swamps has commenced. The history OF
the rise of what is a productive industry is
somewhat curious. Some years ago New
Jersey possessed fifteen thousand acres OF
worthless swamp lands, situated in Ocean,
Atlantic and Burlington counties. The
first person who attempted to grow the
cranberry on these swamps and peat Dogs
met with great difficulties, but finally over
come them and made his fortune. Since
then, this formerly worthless land has be-
come among the most valuable in the
state. The berries are picked from
the 10th Of September to the LIST
of October, when they commence to reach
the market. 10 the stranger the sight of
one Of these great cranberry beds, as they
appear on the surface is of little interest,
as only a few berries show on the top, and
no idea can be formed of the wealth be-
meath. Stepping on one of the beds, how
ever, and treading as carefully as we may,
is like walking on torpedoes, as the berries
snap at every step. Once on the beds, let
he visitor knecl and part the matted vines
with his hands, and the astonishing yield
OF one Of these well-ordered plantations
may be seen; it cannot be estimated, SO
prolific does tappear, and SO wonderful.
