Perhaps some Of the hOuse-keeD-
ers who read the Farm Journal
would ike to know how they can
make an inexpensive and as the
same time, good and durable bed, or
mattrass and bolster. And then.
perhaps, those same housekeepers,
after reading this article viii throw
it aside with the remark, smereIv 3
Whim." That is what my friends
said when / told them what I was
doing, zone Of your Whims, but ie
did not discourage me; I peTsevered
and the result showed that tie
''whim" was not a bad one. Ihave
bed that will, with good usage, last
a life time. 1t is merely a tick, the
same as for straw or husks, with an
openings in the upper side to insert
the hand for stirring, and filed With
cut paper Now, ,reader,do not throw
the paper aside with disgust, but if
for nothing but curiosity, finish the
article; it will do no harm; possibly
you may be induced to make one.
The work of cutting the paper is
not such a long job as you woald
think. Take any kind Of clean paper
except straw wrapping, and fold it,
or so that it can be cut with one clip
of the shears, and then cut it
You need not be particular as t0
the width, although the na1r3Fer
it is cut the better it is. These clip
pings are like little curls or rings Of
paper, and lie almost as light as pa-
per, and after using the bed they
will not break up and grow fine and
dusty, but are clean and can be stir
red as light as when drst. used. I
have heard people say who have
slept on them that they were the
best beds they ever slept Oh. pre-
fer them to feathers or common mat
tresses. Hair mattresses are nicer,
of course, but few farmers wives
can afford to buy them, whereas the
the paper bed we have without cost
except the work, and in that the
smallest child you have who can use
a pair of shears viii help you, and
if not kept busy too long at a time,
will think it but play, The same ma
terial makes nice pillows for loung-
es, chair cushions, cradle ticks, etc.
1 have a box to keep waste paper
in, which is out Of the way, and ag
the same time handler than the rag
bag; and when it is full I cut them
into another box and put them into
the tick. I use the same ticks that
l have used for straw, wash them,
and sew up the openings, so they
are just large enough for the hand
to pass through readily; three open
iDgs are sufficient.-AmericaH Farm

Trial ofthe New eatling.

Quite large number Of gentlemen
and ladies were attracted to the Ex
position grounds last evening to wit
ness the trial of one of the new Cat
ling guns. Among the spectators
were Senator Morton, General Car
rington, General Scott Brown, OF
Kentucky, and General T. A. Norris.
A target of wood ten feet square,
with blackened spot in the center
of one foot in diameter, and placed
in a gully one hundred and twenty
five yards from the gun. The size
used was that which shoots the reg
ulation size musket bullet, and was
handled directly by Mr.. Otis Frink
and DR.. Gatling. A singular coin
cidence was noticed by several ofthe
spectators, inasmuch as the two gen
tlemen named were the sane ones
who handled the first of these guns
exhibited in public, which was just
twelve years ago, at the corner OF
Georgia and Pennsylvania streets,in
this city. Since that, however, the
gun has been continually improved
upon, as has been recorded the
world over, until it now ranks about
the best in use. The first firing
was of one hundred and twenty
rounds, or three cases of cartridges.
Seventy of this number went
through the marked out target Of a
foot in diameter, and the remainder
passed through the boards, avera-
ging fifteen inches from the mark.
The bullets were considerably fiat
tened, bat tore up the dirt back of
the target, until the earth looked as
though just narrowed. The second
and third rounds were Of 160 shots
each. At the close OF the second
and third rounds the marked target
was completely shot away and the
.neighboring planks badly riddled.
The fourth round was for a trial of
speed. Five cases of two cartridges
were used, and fired in twenty-five
seconds. 1t required but little i'm
agination to conceive q continued
roar as though of musketry, ones
ears fairly ringing with sound. The
gun remains perfectly steady during
the shooting, and does not heat up
in the least, although the muzzle
seemed to be shooting out contin-
ual stream of FIRE while the crank
was being turned. 1t requires but a
moments time to place a full case Of
cartridges over the gun in their re-
quired position, and thereby but lit
tie time is lost, so little, in fact, that
it is not noticeable. General Love
said that the target should be above
J, 200 yards away to give full range.

IF COULD KEEP HER so.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER ,rou1roN


Just little baby, lying in my arms
Would that could keep you, with your bab,
charms;
Helpless, clinging fingers, dOwny golden hair
Where the sunshine fingers. caught from 9th
erwhere;
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannO
speak,
Roly-poly shoulders, dimple in your cheek;
Dainty little bosom in a world of woe,
Thus fain would keep you for love you so
Roguish little damsel, scarcely six years old
Feet that never weary, hair of deeper gold;
Restless busy fingers, all the time at play,
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day
Blue eyes learning wonders of the world about
Here you come to tell them-what an eager
shout!
Winsome little damsel, all the neigbors know;
Thus long to keep you for love SO.
Sober little schoolgirl, with her strap of books,
And such grave Importance in your puzzled
looks;
Solving weary problems, pouring over sums,
Yet with tooth for sponge-cake and for sugar
plums;
Reading books of romance in your bed at
night,
Waking up to study with the morning light;
Anxious as to ribbons. deft to tie bow,
Full of contradietions-I would keep you SO.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden, sitting by my
side,
All the worlds before you, and the world is
wide;
Hearts are there for winning, hearts are there
to break,
Has your own, shy maiden, just begun to
wake?
Is that rise Of dawning glowing on your cheek
Telling us in bushes what you viii not speak;
Shy and tender maiden, would fain forego
all the golden future, just to keep you SO.
Ah the listening angels saw that she was.fair,
Ripe for rare unfolding In the upper air;
Now the rose of dawning turns to lilly white,
And the close shut eyelids vail the eyes from
sight;
ALI the past summon as kiss her brow
Babe, and child, and maiden, all are with me
now.
Dbl my heart is breaking; but Gods love I
b1vY
Safe imopZ the angeli, he will keep her so.

From tRecollections of a Visit to
Newfoundland

| newfoundland.
A movement is seen among the
whales, dark forms disappear and
presently emerge again, they move
slowly at first, then increasing their
speed, rush in foaming crowd to,
ward the shore. We follow at our
utmost speed, regardless of the spray
that dashes over the boat. Sudden
ly the fish pause, feeling perhaps.
by instinct, that they are getting in
to shoal water; they turn, seem to
deliberate, and select the weakest
spot for a charge; our speed is slack
ened, and all prepare for the struggle.
After moments pause, headed by
the largest of the herd, they rush at
my boat, which happened to be in
the center of the line. On they
come raising wall of foam, behind
which are dimly seen arched backs
and agitated fms; we shout, fire our
guns, throw stones, and dash the
oars IN the water. They hesitate, q
few plunge under the boat; / feel
their backs scrape against the keel, as
we are thrown over and half filed
with water; the next is received with
a blow of an ak from gigantic fish
erman; terrified, and spouting blood.
the whale rushed back into the nerd,
and heads for the shore in his blind
agony. We redouble our exertions,
and the fish finally yielding, follow
their wounded companion. and fling
themselves on the shore, where they
lie wallowing in the shallow water.
With cry of triumph borne back
from the women who stood on the
Cliff, dancing and waving their arms
in delight at the prospect of an abun-
dant winter supply of food, all the
boats rowed for the shore, each stri-
wing to be first to commence the
fight. With a final cheer, the men
drove the boats in among the fish,
leaped out, and began to strike right
and left.
l gave up the lance, and attacked
the nearest with my long hunting
knife; seazing hold of the monsters
fin, in spite ofits struggles, plunged
the knife repeatedly into its heart.
Its exertions and plunges were in
cessant, frequently lifting me off my
feet and throwing me under water.
l managed to hold on, and. kept
striking, till, with final effort, it
turned on its back. The same en-
counter was going on all about me;
with cries and wild oaths the men
struck and hewed at the whales as
if infuriated, regardless Of bruises
and the waves which swept over
them every moment.-Americaa
