THE KEAPERs.

The reapers bend their Iustv backs,
Their sounding sickles sway;
At every stroke the golden sea
Recedess) give them way;
The heavy ears fall bowling down;
And nestle at their feet.
Such will, such work, as theirs perforce
Must win-must homage meet.
So careless of fatigue they 90,
So true, so steadily,
The admiring traveller on the road
Leans DER the gate to see;
with marvel of the soon fallen breadth
The lounging gossips tell;
But the reapers labor for us all;
lis need they should work well.
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the vest,
And the children's poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain sparkling glass,
Rejoicing DER the yield.
Fly, bonny men, your sickles bright,
And give the people bread!
At every conquering stride you take
On want and woe you tread,
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from the plain,
That men may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again!
God bless the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaVing pillow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And fill the wealthy NOW!
They rear the bread our children eat
IT'S by their toll we live;
Hurrahl give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can give!

A Vast Estate in Kansas.

Among the prominent visitors at the
fair is Mr.. George Grant, of Victoria
Colony, KAN, the owner of the largest
farm in the world, with the exception,
perhaps, of that of the Duke of Suther-
land, whose broad acres consist largely
of hill and heather Mr.. Grants domain
covers SIC, 900 acres in the heart of Kan
sas, about 900 miles west of Kansas City
to Fort Hays, the center of the tract.
His effort is to establish model farm,
for which great credit is due him, as well
as for his successful efforts in introduce
ing imported stock, and showing the re-
suits In crossing imported with native
stock, and also the best methods of shell
tering and feeding cattle in winter. Mr..
Grant is going back to Europe in about
five weeks to arrange for the bringing
out of more people, and a large portion
of high-bred stock, which he will exhibit
at the Centennial, with the intention Ill
timately of shipping it to Victoria. Mr..
Grant states that one herd of 81 short
horns of the Booth strain sold five weeks
ago at the sale of the late Mr.. TORS
property in England, at an average
price from young to old of $4,000.
They were of the same family that he
has at Victoria, and many of the ami
mails were bought for America
Mr.. Grants colony has largely swelled
this season by immigrants, and another
English company has just bought 40, 900
acres adjoining the Victoria Colony. One
of the New York Gunthers has started
with 5000 acres, and Mr.. Dickinson, of
st. Louis, has bought two square miles,
and is out there now making arrange
ments for putting up a house. Mr..
Grant says he is more than satisfied with
the produce of his crops this season.
The rains have been abundant, but
last year the grasshoppers swept every
thing. One field of 80 acres of Hunga-
rian grass on his farm has produced 776
tons of fodder and 5, la bushels of seed,
giving a profit of more than 500 per
cent on the cost of putting in the seed.
He put in 800 acres of alfalfa, q kind of
fodder much used in California. The
land will grow three crops of this grass
in a year, at the rate of six tons to the
acre, but it affects deep, dry soil. Mr..
Grant has increased his flock of sheep
to $1,000, and has 1000 COWS. In less
than five years he expects to increase his
sheep to 100000. His wool alone this
season brought $11, 700 in Boston at 33
cents per pound. Sheep farming is evil

How Alcohol Enters the system.

When taken in by the more ordinary
channel, the stomach, it finds it's way by
two routes into the circulation. A GER
tain portion of 1.-THE greater portion of

alimentary surface, finds it's way straight
into the larger veins, which lead up to
the heart, and onward with the course of
the blood. Another portion is picked
up by small structures proceeding from.
below the mucous surface of the stom-
ach, and from which originate series of
fine tubes that reach at last the lower
portion of common tube, termed the
thoracic duct--a tube which ascends in
front of the spinal column, and termi-
mates at the junction of two large veins
on the left side of the body, at point
where the venous blood, returning from
the left arm, joins with the returning
blood from the left side of the head on
its way to the heart. It is SO greedy for
water that it will pick it up from al the
watery textures of the body, and deprive
them of it, until, by its saturation, if can
take up no more, its power Of reception
being exhausted; after which it diffuses
itself into the current of circulating
fluid. When we dilute alcohol with
water before drinking it, we quicken its
absorption; and, if we do not dilute it
sufficiently, it is diluted in the stomach
by the transudatlon of water in the stom-

would not be serious; but there are
many OF our countrymen in the navy and
artillery service who, in the event of
war, would direct the batteries afoat

astonish and delight their Celestial en-

It may be that the English have sold
inferior war material to the Chinese. so
as to preserve their advantage in war
over that people; but this remains to be
seen. One thing, however, is certain,
and it is that the next Chinese war will
be quite another thing from the last.

DROUGHT.

For rain, for rain the parched lands cry,
Reproachful 70 the cloudless eky;
The hot white fields in light are blinking,
The rivers in their beds are shrinking.
For rest, for rest the weary eng
That watch from dark to dawn the sky;
little sleep their limbs are craving,
a little rest from ceaseless raving.
God gives in His good time the rain,
And sends the sick man peace for pain;
But while we wait His gracious sending,
Alas the sad days seem unending.
Yet, when the evening comes, the dew
Brings to the fields fragrance new;
And loving smiles at days returning
VIII soothe awhile the sick mans yearning.

The [SpanIshl King Can Do No Wrong.

There comes story from Spain as
dark as the worst episodes of crime in
the period of Harry the Second of
France, or the Duke de Medici. The
Young King Alfonso, in whose aid an
officer of the Spanish army was fighting
the Carlist enemy at the front, corrupted
the daughter of that officer, while one
of his elderly associates, the Duke of
Sexto, corrupted the officers wife. The
husband and father, returning on suspi-
cion, fredshis pistol at his King-the
son of Marie Isabella, whose corrupt life
would expel her from any domestic
hearthstone in the world. Missing the
King, the Mephistophiles of the expe-
dition, Sexto, shot the officer of the
crown and the head of the family dead
in the midst of the guilty people who
had already accomplished the last injury
to soldier, a husband, and father.
King Alfonso is less than eighteen years
old. Such an Absalom is not justified
even by such mother as Isabellal
But the story goes further. The po-
lice heard the pistol shots and sought to
do their duty, but had to fall back before
the young anointed of the Lord. A
night Waterman took off the body, and
he receives what is in Spain the lordly
salary of $400 month for his silence.
The maid servant in the house and her
lover, both cognizant of their deeds of
the night, are assassinated. Next, a
Judge of Madrid, too resolute to do
something under these Horrible circum-
stances, is also assassinated. The press
is gagged. Nothing can be done even
by the Justice of God in Spain but to
spread such stories through the world
by secret hand bills and pasquinades.

China has been for some time prepar-
ing for war with some one, as if with the
determination of being no longer bullied
by any Western power. The principal
points along her coast have received the
attention of the American engineer and
artillery officers in her service, and on
the Peiho river heavy earthworks have
been thrown up. As war with one of
the Western powers would be largely
naval one, the government has lately Civ

has been augmented within the last year
by ten torpedo vessels, built on the

machine consists of large wheel, with
four large iron tubes, running from CEN

curve that two cannon balls, which run
inside them, can run back and forth as
the wheel turns, and which, by an in
genious system of levers, are SO disposed
that the weight of the wheel is always

and always at the center when the action
of gravitation would naturally cause the
