THE PROPHECY.

Carriages without horses shall 60
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinking Of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do
How strange yet shall be trne
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root Of tree.
Through hills men shall ride.
And no horse or ass be at their side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, IN green.
Iron in the water shall float
As eaey as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and owned
In a land that is not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit Jew.
And the world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

number has played a great part in luck
speculations. Some Apocalyptic inter

striven TO show that If Bismarck were

Cremation in Siam.

A writer says; "During a residence
of several years in Siam I neither saw
nor heard of a single burial in that
country, nor did I meet with more than
three Siamese tombs. They were the
Tombs of Three Kings said to be
centuries old, and all that I could learn
of their history was that beneath those
gorgeous monuments of black granite.

and ivory, reposed the ashes of the
three famous warrior kings who had or
dered the bodies to be buried instead
of burned, in order that the singuiarity
OF the circumstances might keep the
memory Of their virtues and bravery
ever fresh In the hearts of their sub
iects. Burning is now, and has been
for centuries, the universal custom in
Siam-preferred, it is supposed, be-
cause of the facility it affords for re-
moving the precious dust of the loved
and lost. In old aristocratic houses I
have seen arranged in the family re-
ceptacle massive golden urns containing
the ashes of eight, ten, or twelve gene
rations OF ancestors; and these are cher
ished as precious heirlooms to descend
through the eldest male branch"

The Condor of the Andes.

We can tell you an anecdote about the
condor's power of life. A miner of
Chill, very strong man, once saw
condor enjoying his feast on the noun
tains. He had eaten so much that he
could not fly, and the man attacked and
tried to kill him. The battle lasted a
long time, and the man was nearly ex-
hausted. But in the end he thought he
was the victor, and left the condor dead.
as he imagined, on the field. Some Of
the feathers he carried off in triumph,
to show to his companions, and told
them he had never fought so fierce bat
tie. The other miners went to look at
the condor, when, to their surprise, he
was standing erect Tapping his wings in
order to fly away. A bird with
such powers of life continues to
exist years and years. Indeed, the con-
dor is said to live for a century. The
Indian tries to catch the condor by
stratagem. He employs him to fight in
a ring at those cruel bull-fghts which
are the favorite amusements IN that part
af the world. He does not attempt to
attack the condor openly, for he knows
how strong he is, and he wishes, be-
sides, to take him alive. He procure s
the skin of a COW and hides himself be-
meath it. Some pieces of flesh are left
hanging to the skin, and are sure to at
tract the condor. He comes bouncing
on tie prey, and while he is feeding with
his usual greediness the Indian con-
trives to fasten his legs to the skin.
When this is done he comes out of his
concealment and the bird sees him for
the first time. He flaps his wings and
would fly but that his feet are entan-
gled and more than this, number of
other Indians come running up and
throw their mantles over him.

Hungarian Grass. or Mlnet.


We have inquired as to the value of
millet as forage plant, and would re-
ply that it has its place in a true farm
economy, as a temporary substitute for
hay when that crop is short, and also as
a valuable soiling crop. It has an an
nual root, consequently can not take
the place of other grasses 10 forming
permanent pasture or meadows. 1t may
be sown late in the season, after the
spring crops are out of the way, on land
that could net be prepared for spring
crops, and under favorable conditions
may yield heavier burden of excellent
hay than the regular meadow. It has
been sown as late as the list of July, af-
ter a meadow had been mown, at the
rate of bushel to the acre, and yield
ing in September two tons of excellent
hay.
As a soiling crop, it may be grown on
poorer soil than sowed corn, cured much
easier, and if not all fed before, will
keep until winter. Those who have fed
it esteem it very highly for horses, the
street railroad company in Rochester
feeding it to their horses, when they can
obtain it, with good results. They value
it highly.-Rtrdl Home.

And he who always smiles, be sure he win.
A smile is lovely when, through lip and eye,
The sunny sweetness OF q soul shines out

When inner darkness IL but wraps about.
Night rules us all at times; shall We, the while,
Hide our sad midnight with morning smile y

gray. have two narrow rows of bias
gros-grain stitched on for trimming.
Two parallel rows of soutache braid
make a pretty mock button-hole. Sha-
ded wood and bone buttons of bullet
shape are used on these suits. For
summer, kilt suits are made of repped
pique, and to make them lighter the
skirt has wide box-plaits, only six in
number, instead of the side plaitings
that require three or four widths of
pique. A row Of Hamburg insertion is
laid down the middle of each box

falcons wear knee trousers, straight and
plain, with braid trimming the outer

THE Duty OF A WOMAN TO BE LADY.
Wildness is a thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is thing which can
not be lost and found. No art can le-
store the grape its bloom. Familiarity
without love, without confidence, with
ont regard, is destructive TO all that
makes woman exalting and ennobIing.
THE world is wide. these things are small !;
They may be nothing, but they are all"
Nothing? 1t is the first duty of a wo-
man to be lady. Good breeding is
good sense. Bad manners in woman is
immortality. Awkwardness may be
ineradicable. Bashfulness is constitu-
tionaL Ignorance of etiquette is the
result of circumstances. All can be
condoned, and do not Danish man or
woman from the amenities of their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrinking
and aggressive eoarseness of demeanor
may be reckoned as a state prison Of
Tense, and certainly merits that mild
form OF restraint called imprisonment
! for life. It is a shame for women TO be
lectured on their manners. It is a bit
ter shame that they need it. Women
are the umpires of society. It is they
to whom all mooted points should be re-
ferred. To be lady is more than to
be prince. A lady is always in her
right inalienably worthy of respect.
To lady, prince and peasant alike bow.
Do not be restrained. Do not have i'm
| pulses that need restraint. Do not wish
to dance with the prince unsought :;
feel differently. Be such that You con-
fer honor. Garry yourselves so loftily
that men shall look up to You for re-
ward, not at you in rebuke. The natur-
al sentiment of man toward woman is
reverence. He loses a large means of
grace when he is obliged to account her
being to be trained into propriety. A
mans ideal is not wounded when a wo-
man fails in worldly wisdom but if in
grace, in tact, In sentiment, in delicacy,
IN kindness, she should be found want
ing, he receives an inward hurt.
