THE ANSWER.
BY MARY l.. RITTER.


He said, "Why should your song be always
sad,
Soplaintff in Its low2
Look outward to the lessons, wise and glad,
That God and nature show.
"Why draw from that immortal foupt the
force,
To forge anew your chainp
What magic touch shall fnally divorce
The spirit from the pain~
The sweet aroma Of the un-kissed Pine
Lived in the vewless air;
The peace and silence Of aday divine
Seemed an unspoken prayer.
And gazing up, she saw not shade or light,
But dear eyes looking down;
The spiendid brow, the hair where threads OF
white
Cleaned brightly through the brown.
Signing she stopped, and from the grass and
weeds
That grew about their feet
Gathered flower as simple as her needs
A snowy Marguerite.
And while the stainless petals fell, again
His quick ear listening caught
The off repeated, doubling, Old refrain,
"He loves" "He loves me not"

Two Mora Idols Rrakan.

Two very remarkable plagiarsms are
now being discussed In English literary
circles. The discoverer thereof is one
j. McGregor Allan, and the charges are
against no less distinguished names
than those of Oliver Goldsmith and the
Rev. Mr.. Wolf, reputed author of "The
Burial of Sir John Moore" The charge
| against Goldsmith comes originally
from an anonymous writer, but bears
every appearance Of truth. Every one
knows the beautiful poem Of edwin
and Angelina" If the author in ques-
tion is to be believed, it is simply q
translation from a charming French po-
elm entitled "Les Deux Hab tants de
LoEanne." He admits that Goldsmith
interviewed many beautiful stanzas, but
the ideas, the essential graces of the
poem, belonged to the French author.
The charge against Wolf is even of a
grayer character, and rests upon no less
an authority than "The Reliques Of
Father Prout." "rhe Burial Of Sir
John Moore" was published anony-
mously in an Irish newspaper in 1917.
Wolf died in 1928, and in 154l ~ Scottish
student attempted to claim the author
ship. Father Prout, in his reiques,
states that an elegy was written in
French upon Colonel De Beaumanoir,
killed at Pondicherry Jan. IA, lT61. The
author was one of his retainers, and the
lines described the hasty burial of the
Colonel in the north bastion Of the for
tress, where he fell. 'Nor is it neces-
sary" says Father Prout, $40 add any
translation of mine, the Rev. Mr.. Wolf
having reproduced them-the lines-)n
the occasion Of Sir John Moore's falling
at Corunna under similar circum-
stances" The charge is a grave one;
either the Rev. Mr.. Wolf translated tins
poem, which was written-at least It's
occasion occurred-in January, 176l, or

THE conviction Of w estervelt for com.
plicity in the abduction of Charley Ross
will be received with profound satisfac-
ton by the large majority OF the public.
Considerably over year has passed
since the crime was committed, and until
the present instance the arm of the law
has failed to reach any OF the gang who
were guilty of this outrage. Two OF the
principal actors in the affair had been
brought to swift and terrible justice,
but Westeryelt was the first to be reached
by the law for this crime. No case has
attracted such general public attention
for many years. Had the child been
butchered in cold blood before his
parents eyes the affair would not have
excited the attention that did his alb
ducton and the subsequent search and
the bold offers OF the robbers. The let
ters of the abductors, which were only
made pul lie during the recent trial, were

acter, showing combination of audacity
and depravity seldom ii ever wit.

Fes d and Breed of Dairy Cows.

DR.. Sturtevant of Massachusetts closes a
paper contributed to the Report Of the Con.
necticut State Board of Agriculture. with the
following summary of the conclusions at
which he has arrived on this subject:
1. the production of butter is largely de-
pendent on breed.
2. That there is structural limit TO the
production OF butter to each COW.
8. that when the COW is fed to this limit,
increased food, cannot increase the product.
4. that the superior COW b as this structural
limit at greater distance from ordinary feed,
and more ready to respond to stimuli than
the inferior COW.
5. that consequently the superior COW is
seldomsted to her limit, while the inferior COW
may be easily fed beyond her limit, and as a
practical conclusion, increased feed with a
superior lot of cows, will increase the butter
product, but if fed to an inferior lot of cows,
waste can be but the result.
6. That the character of the food has SINE
influence on the character of the butter, but
even here breed influences more than food
Z. That there is no constant relation be-
tween the butter product and the cheese pro
duct
s. That the casein retains coLstant per-
centage, and that this percentage does not
appear to respond TO increase of food.
8. That the casein appears to remain con-
slant without regard to the season.
10. That increase in the quality of milk is
followed by an increase in the total amount
of casein.
II. That insufficient feed acts directly to
check the proportion of butter, and has q
tendency to decrease the casein of the milk
and substitute albumen.
-. That the best practice of feeding is to
egulate the character of the food by the
rharacter of the animals fed; feeding superior
COWS nearer to the limit of their production
tmore concentrated and nutritious foods than
for cheese; feeding for cheese product succu-
lent material which win increase the quaint
ty of the milk yield.
