Before Ned had finished, the stylish

freight bill collector were well on their
way toward the rear door of the car
and the next instant had vanished from

them hoping to again get sight of them
and cause their arrest, the old gentle
man and lady from Decatur were fairly
shedding tears of Joy over their escape
from the confidence-men.

LITTLE IMPATIENCE.

IT takes 20 many hours to make day!
1t takes 50 many days tO make a year!
My seventh birthday seems 20 FAR away,
And yet my eighth, they say, is nowhere near!
The robins' nest out in the cherry-tree
Held four young birds, naked, and weak, and
small,
A month ag0-so fast they grew, you ace,
There's not q robin in the nest At all!
They flew, full grown!--and I'm no bigger now
Than when the nest was built that one can see.
How robins grow sO fast, and girls 40 slow,
In very strange indeed, it seems to me.
l wonder how 'twould seem to be scv enteen,
And wear long dresses like my Cousin Sue,
She has watch-the prettiost ever seen,
And winds it all hcrself-as should do.
/ s'pOse shall he married, too, some day,
Al mamma was. I've seen her veil and dress;
They're in the bureau drawer, laid away,
She's saving them for me to wear, guess.
wonder who I'll havei Not Cousin Joe!
Nor teasing Glare! Maybe my Uncle Tim.
My papa il the incest man know;
But mamma's very sure she can't spare him!

THE SCHOOL.BOY.

We bought him box for his books and thinRs
And cricket bag for his bat;
And he looked the brightest and beat of kiuc1
Under hin new straw hat.
We handed him into the railway train.
With troop of his young cOmpeen;
And We made rs though it were dust and rain
Were filling our eyes with tears.
We looked in his innocent face to soc
The sign Of a sorrOwful heart
But he only shOuldercd his hat with cleo
And wondered when they would start.
Twas not that he loved not "A heretofore.
For the boy was tender and kind;
But his WA world that wus all before.
And ours was world behind.
Twas not his fluttcring heart was cold.
For the child was loyal and true
And the parents love the love that in old.
And the children the love that is new.
And We came to know that love is flower
Which only groweth down;
And we scarcely spoke for the space of an hour
IA We drove back through the town.

Mothers and Sons.

FATHERS must be content to stand
second to mothers. 1t is the mother
who has to teach the babe to know the
father, and slowly to frame it's unused
red lips to speak his name. The father
is the first stranger the child grows IA
miliar with, but the mother never was
stranger-the infant first widens its
fresh eyes by fixedly gazing in her face.
There is no face il. all the world which
a man ever knows so well-not even
hers with whom, at a far later day, he
stands before the altar, and who hence
forth shares his name. The gentle sad
ness of this theme only comes fully out
when we remember that, in the course
of things, = time arrives when that
most familiar of countenances is seen
under a change. Mothers grow aged,
it may be infirm, while sons progress
lively tower up into their prime Of life.
Then the early attitude of this closest
related pair on earth is touchingly al
tered. She who in the first period gave
all help has now to lean on the grown
figure which she once lightly handled
as child, now standing before her
strong and straight as the father did
in the long-gone days. God has given
to men no sweeter, dearer, richer feel
ing than a grown son has when repay
ing to an aged mother little 1.-THE of
the loving care she early lavished upon
him. In this relationship of mother
and son God has made sure that every
rough male heart shall have a tender
spot-one sacred recollection. And
whenever it dawns upon the mind that
it was He who gave the loving mother,
joy for that most bountiful of all be-
stowals draws the son of the earth
mother toward the Father who is in
Heaven Ma0Gzine.

As quick We dart across the lea,

The deareet of all birds are We.
Dear as the messengers of spring

About the flying forest grievee,

make an ARTIFICIAL pond large deep

pure ice obtained for the ice house in

should be made on every farm. There
are but few farms that will not admit
of just such ponds. They should be

should early be taught that it has moth

10 the time to make pork; making it in
winter il much like running boat
against a wind and tide; it requires too
much food to keep up the supply of an
imal heat. If hogs have plenty of
grass in the summer, and about half
the grain they will eat, they will fatten
rapidly, and about three pounds of
pork can be made from less grain in
this way than one pound can be made
in cold weather with hog in close
pen. The grass is cooling and loosen

Mr.. SCHULZ, of Little Falls, N. Y,
estimates that the land in pasturage
and hay requisite for the support of a
cow is three acres; and this is the esti-
mate for moderately good dairy farms
in England. In Belgium ten acres of
land support two cows, one heifcr, and
one yearling or calf; but when the
calves are sold off young. and COWS in
full milk are only kept, the proportion
is two cows to seven and one-half acres.
C0lmsn estimates three acres of pas
turc N requisite for COW in Berkshire
County, Mass, while in some towns
two acres of pasturage are sufficient.
Mr.. Harrington, in the report of the
American Dairyman's Association,
thinks that on the average four acres
are required per cow, for summer and
winter keep; while x. A. Willard
thinks that in Herkimer County, N. Y,
one and One-half to two acres of pasture
per COW will answer, and in some cx-
cepti0nal cases one acre.-Scientifc

The territory of Bosnia, or Bosnia,
which includes both Bosnia proper and
Herzegovina, Is, Nike other Turkish
valuable property rendered
useless by neglect. The hifls-which
cover two-thirds of its surface, rising
on the western border to . height Of
nearly 1000 feet-abound in fine tim
Der, and contain stores of coal, iron
and lead. Competent authorities de-
clare that the Bosnian horses require
nothing but careful breeding to make
them q match for any in Eastern Eu-
rope. The small portion of the central
plain which is under cultivation yields
excellent wheat, maize and hemp; and
the facilities for trade are abundant
were they but turned to account. But
the timber is little utilized; the mines,
where they are worked ut oil, are Who'll
" dependent upon foreign enterprise
and foreign capital; the horse-rearing
is In the hands of the Turks; the little
trade that exists is in those of the Jews
and Armenians; and the chief manu-
features of the Province, significantly
enough, are firearms, sabers and
knives. The fact is that, partly from
its intractable nature and partly from
its not having been annexed till 1928,
Bosnia has always retained more of its
original character than the other Eu-
ropean Provinces Of Turkey. The
great outbreak of 1851 was only IN en-
larged specimen Of what has been go
ing on for centuries among these steep,
er1ggy ridges and gloomy forests. The
Morlaks Of Herzegovina are still %
fierce and untamable a. when their
forefathers, the terrible IS Croats'' Of
Count lilly, staggered through the
burning streets of Magdeburg in 1851,
with living infants ON their spear
points. Out of the 1,260, 900 popula-
ton, nearly one-third are Bosnians Of
the genuine breedHtenacious of their
own customs, hostile to everything for
eign, passionately fond Of hunting,
splendid h0rsemen and born robbers.
But there is one infallible remedy for
ill the disorders of Bosnia, namely,
firm government. The strong hand Of
Austria will teach these desperadoes
that respect for law and order which
they could never have learned under
the capricious tyranny Of the Porte.
Roads and railways will gradually ex-
tirpate brigandage, as they have al
ready done in Italy and the Pyrenees.
The quaint old capital of Bosna-Serai
.hosnia's lnn'), still donlinated by
the citadel which repulsed Prince Eu-
gene himself in 1897, may yet become,
with its central position, its population
Of $1,000. and its rising manufactures
of jewelry and hardware, the nucleus
Of Aoulishing traffic. Whatever may
be thought of the justice of Austria 8
occupation of the two Provinces, there
can be no question that, if resolutely
carried out, it will prove an incalci-
liable gain to both.-N. 2. Times.

both. If man takes no stimulants, he

Warming Dwellings In Summer.

THE Cincinnati artisan, in a recent
issue. has a very important article upon
the necessity which often occurs for
warming dwellings in the summer.
People in general are prone to treat
with contempt the idea that a fire is
ever needed in the summer season for
warmth. We frequently hear remarks
like 1.-THE idea of a fire in July; it's
absurd" The weather clerk does not,
however. appear to think that cold
morning or evening or cold east wind
is an absurdity in July, and sends
them accordingly, and people shiver,
but will not warm themselves because
it happens to be a summer month. The
artisan says:
As we approach the warm season of
the year, and the temperature of the
air becomes high enough to cause US
to court the genial breeze from with
out, it is the custom to put out the
fires, remove the stoves and leave
dwellings without any artificial means
of heating until the chill breath of
autumn brings the furnaces and stoves
again in use. It has long been known
that sickness prevails to q much great
er extent in summer than in winter,
but many do not recognize the causes
of the diseases of the warm season. A
warm and dry atmosphere is not UNI
wholesome, but when, in cloudy and
rainy weather, southerly winds bring .
sultry air which dampens everything
around us, the atmosphere is loaded
with the germs Of disease and fire is
needed to destroy them.
The walls, the ceilings, the floors of
apartments, should never be allowed
to become damp. Sometimes, when
the warmth of the air is oppressive, fire
is more needed to preserve health than
it is at another season to protect us
from the cold of winter; and the rooms
of dwelling should never be left with
out means of warming and drying.
The investigations of science show that
many of the most fatal diseases are
caused by the germs of vegetable and
animal life, and that a humid atmos-
phere is most favorable for their prop
agation. It is, therefore, neglecting to
avail ourselves Of the great discover
les of the age, and failing to protect
ourselves from the scourges which so
fearfully afflict families, when we ig-
more the dangers which surround ,,s.
Apartments exposed to the full action
of the sun may be less comfortable in
dry, hot weather than those from which
the SUMS rays arc excluded, but gener-
ally they will be found more wholesome.
