The doctor gave few directions to the
colored women that sat around 'Liza's bed,
and started to leave, when he was recalled by
the old woman, who was drifting out with

The soul, while pluming its wings for its
flight to the Great Beyond, rested on the
dusky face of the sleeper, and the watchers,
with bowed heads, wept silently. She was
dead.

Pulmonary Disease as Affected by Local
ity.

The physician in charge of the ''Mountain
Sanitarium" for pulmonary diseases, at Ashe-
vile, North Carolina, states that in the treat
ment of pulmonary diseases several historical
periods or epochs may be recognized that in
which the sea climate was considered as most
beneficial, that in which dry climates were
advised, and that in which elevated regions
were recommended the most theoretical in
vestgators as we'll as many physicians, now
agreeing that, in the removal of the patient
to elevated regions, the best possible course
is pursued. 1t appears that the success at
tained by the removal of the patient to south
ern climates, without securing greater alti-
tude, amounts simply to relief of the symp-
toms, only warding off fresh injury-the
patient, after returning home, not having &C
auired that power of resistance which alone
can prevent new catarrh or Inflammation
from attacking the lungs; the general effect,
on the other hand, of a mountain climate is
to be considered an active one, since increas.
ed demands are made upon the functions of
the organism from all sides.

Tell the Age Of Fowls.

If hens spur is hard and the Scales on
the legs are rough she is old, whether you
see her head or not. but her head will cor
robOrate your observation. 1t the under bill
is so stiff that you cannot bend it down and
the comb thick and rough, leave her, no mat
ter how fat and plump, for some one less
particular. A young hen has only the rudi-
ments of spurs, the scales on the legs are
smooth, glossy and fresh cOlOred, whatever
the color may be, the claws tender and short,
the nails sharp the under bill soft and the
comb thin and smooth.
An old turkey has rough scales on the legs,
calosites on the soles OF the feet and long
strong claws, Young one the reverse OF all
these marks When the feathers are on the
old turkey cock has a long tuft of beard, a
young one. but sproutiDg one and when
they are off the smooth scales on the legs de-
eide the point, beside the difference in size IN
the wattles of the neck and the elastic shoot
upon the nose.
An old goose when alive is known by the
rough legs, the strength Of the wings, par
ticularlv at the pinions, the thickness and
strength of the bill and tineness OF the feath'
ers and when plucked by the legs the tender
ness of the skin under the wings, by the
ninions and the bill and the cOarseness of the
skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same means
but there is the difference that duckling's bill
is much longer in proportion to the breadth
of the head than the old ducks.
A young pigeon is discovered by its pale
color, smooth scales, tender, collapsed feet,
and the yellow, long down interspersed
among its feathers. A pigeon that can fly
has always red-colored legs and no down and
is then too old for use as SQUAD.

ANECDOrE OF F. e. SPINNER.


One day, short time after the late un-
pleasantness terminated, the corresponding
clerk of Gen. F. E. Spinner, then U. s. Treas
urer, entered the sanctum of that officer and
quietly laid letter and enclosure before him.
The old man took it up and looked at it, and
begun to look savage as he noticed that the
enclosure was a Confederate note. He next
read the letter, which was very courteous
epistle from Southern man not yet recon-
structed, who stated that inasmuch as the
United States had succeeded to the assents of
the Confederacy, he presumed there would
be no objection to assuming its liabilities, and
closed by requesting the Treasurer to cash
the note.
Spinner laid the letter down gently, and
leaning back in his chair began to think it
over and get mad. The process was rapid
and the success brilliant beyond precedent
He fairly roared at the cool impudence OF the
letter. and after discharging number OF
vigorous and far from pious denunciations at
the head of the ex-reb, he turned to the clerk
and said: ''Tell the man to go to h"
The obedient scribe accordingly replied, re-
enclosing the note, and stating that the power
which had called the Confederacy and Its pa
per money into existence, having returned to
the place of its inception, to wit, the internal
regions. the Treasurer recommended him to
have it cashed there, and to present it in per-
son.
This reply pleased the General prodigiously
and he chuckled heartily over it for several
weeks, thinking he had extinguished the cool
Southerner.
But one day another letter was received
from the man, who apologized for not an
swering the Generals letter sooner, but ex-
planned that the delay had been caused by the
length of the journey he had recently under
taken at the instance of the Treasurer. he
then proceeded to state that, in accordance
with the suggestions made, he had travelled
to the dwelling place of ''Old Nick, - and had
actually had an interview with him. He de.

The Sheik-ul- Islam in Constantinople has
composed prayer for Turkish success, to be
recited In all the mosques of the Turkish
Empire. Its expressions against the oppos-
ing armies are not of the most amiable KIND.
After praying for the Turkish arms, it says !:
ssSweep from the surface of the earth the IN
fidels who oppose US, thee, and thy holy and
only true religion. They are buried IN the
gloom of impiety like hogs in swamp, ana
yet they dare to lift their hands against tny
faithful people and thy prophet, Mohammed.
Dissolve their alliances, dispense their troops,
break their weapons, crush their forces, ano
nitch them into the depths of hell. May
they and theirriches become the prey OF those
who believe in thee and in thy prophet. and
with whom may remain the grace and bene-
dictions of Allah"

TEARS.
4 bright and beautiful vision
Broke in on my waiting soul,
And great waves OF unrestrained rapture
Seemed over my spirits to roll.
No darkness was there, neither cleaning,
NV life's sky was everywhere bright
Some Titan, the sun backward bringing,
Had splashed all tho heavens with light,
And anear and afar,
Every thought was star!
How changed, alas, the world appears
Isaw it then through joyous tears!
A twilight oerbrowed all life's vistas,
Great mountains arose. and in wrath.
Stepped out from the deepening shadows
And sullenly stood in my path;
And thorns seemed to catch at my garments
And painfully seek my delay
q, wherefore these menacing evils
That crowd in my perilous way?
Why anear or afar
Is there never star?
Al, SO the cruel world appears
When seen through sorrows binding tears.
But tears in the spirits foreknowing,
Are Niles in the way we must go.
On whose banks the flowers are growing
Because of the dark overflow.
@, well if the souls latest vision.
The tear.hoods forevermore stayed,
Shall rest on Hopes blissful fruition
And flowers that never shall fade,
Where anear or afar
Is no need for star,
And through the never-ending years
No eye shall ever fill with tears!

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

When klingle kangle, klngle,
Far down the dusky dingle,
The cows are coming home:
How sweet and clear, and faint and low,
The airy tinklings come and 60,
Like chimings from the far-Of tower,
Or patterings of an Apri! shower
That makes the daisies grow:
KO-ng, kO-lang, kOlinglelingle,
Far down the darkening dingle,
The cows come slowly home.
And old-time friends, and twilight plays,
And starry nights and sunny days,
Come trOoping up the misty ways,
When the cows come home.
With jingle, jangle, jingle,
Soft tones that sweety mingle,
The cows are coming home;
Malvne and Pearl and FlOrimel,
DeKamp, Red Rose, and Gretchen Schell,
Queen Bess, and Syl phi. and Spangled Sue,
Across the fields hear her ''loo-oo'
And clang her silver bell;
GO-ling, go-Ong, gOlingledingle,
With faint, far sounds that nlingle,
The COWS come slowly home.
And mother-songs of long-gon years,
And baby-Joys and childish fears,
And youthful hopes and youthful tears,
When the cows come home.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
BY twos and threes and single.
The cows are coming home;
Through violet air we see the town,
And the summer sun a-slipping down,
And the maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path longer shade,
And the hills are growing brown:
To-rng, to-rang, tOringlerlingle,
BY threes and fours and single,
The cows come slowly home.
The same sweet sound of wOrdless psalm,
The same sweet June day rest and calm,
The same sweet smell OF buds and balm,
When the cows come home.
With tinkle, tAnkle tinkle,
Through fern and periwlnkle.
The COWS are coming home;
A-oittering in the checkered stream,
Where the eun-rays q ance and glcam.
Clarine, PeachbloOm, and Phebe Phillis
Stand knee deep in the creamy llies,
In drowsy dream;
TO-link, tO-lank, t0linklelinkle,
Der banks with buttercups a-twinke.
The cows come slowly home.
And up through mem0ry's deep rav1ne,
Come the brooks old song and its old-time sheen,
And the crescent of the silver Queen,
When the COWS come home.
With klingle, klangle, klingle,
With lOO-Oo, and moO-oO, and Jingle,
The COWS are coming home;
And over there on Melvin HILL
Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip-por-will,
And the dewdrope lie on the tangled vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent mill,
Ko-lixe ko-lang, kOlingelingle,
With ting-a-ling and jingle,
The cows come slowly home
Let down the bars; let In the train
OF long-gOne songs, and flowers, and rain,
For dear old times come back again
When the cows come home.
