A MUSICAL coUnrsaIp.

From the Albany Daily Press.
His name was Tim Panni-he played on the
drum;
She owned him her bow, and many a scrape
On the catgut he got for acting the ape.
Tim always kept time, and Time he kept him
For beating of time was the business of Tim,
"Oh, Doe to be kind" to Miss Clari he sighed !;
"Play heart, and III trump it." "You hat!'
the maid cried.
"Fifer shame!" then said Tim; "the cymbal
Screws me up to high pitch; I'll not stand
your abuse!
viola's trump; to guitar I'll try;
SO goodbye Clari Net, violin-grate I tly!"
He flew to Viola tuba-again with her;
lie found the maid sharp set, and quite dulci-
mer.
Her dress was all fluted, and alto her waist
Was covered with bugles, she showed her
good taste.
Her hair, castinet, was folded quite neatly;
She smiled-and he sighed-he was conquer
ed completely.
"Oh, Viola, dear! my overture's played;
My basson I'll change, my beautiful maid!"
'That chimes in exactly with ideas of mine
To love you I'll try-oh, Tim, will be thine!'
She blushed, rs she spoke-a blush that well
told
That she harped on string not covered with
gold.
This prelude, piano to forte soon rose;
For forty she was-rather more we suppose
Oph-he e-clydes, Tim Panni, to picc-a-lo place,
At the feet of his angel, and gaze in her face
Said he, "sweet Viola, hate Clari Net;
OF we three, triangle, you're the best one,
you bet"
Twas fixed, and to duet a priest was brought
in;
He made them unison-Tim put down the
tin.

A Horror in Stockings.

London World.
The last outre fashion in Vierna is the
so-called "Boccachio" stockings; i. e., a
white six stocking on the left leg and a
pink one on the right. The idea was
taken from the charming costume which
Miss Link whose marriage announced
fortnight ago-wore in the last act of
'Suppe's new opera. Whether the demi-
monde took the notion from the qrand
monde, or vice versa, it is hard to say
they always copy one another. Certain
it is that both the couches of society have
adopted the Boccaehio hose, as the very
short dresses and low-cut shoes now worn
give one ample opportunity of ascertain
ing. A misogynist would say that, as
many of these ladies can hardly tell their
right from their left, the fashion of "p1nk
and white" will be Of practical use-like
the "hay-band" and "straw- band" for the

VVHYa
BY ELAINE GOODALE.

Why does the bud that is near to it's breaking
Wake sweete- smiles than the fully-blown
rose?
Why does the dream on the verge of awaking
Stir deeper truths than deeper repose?
Why does the love that is broken with parting
Lift itself higher by the fulness of pain?
Why is the incomplete rapture of starting
Close on completion we never attain?
Why? For boundless unsatisfied longing
Lies deepest down in the warm human
heart;
Ever with this are the sympathies thronging,
Ever by this do the heaven-fowers start.
Grow with our Spring: we can follow you
wholly
Only as far as it's instincts are sent;
Summers fact that is hidden and holy,
We have not SCENT tive are not content.

Devon Cows ss Mixers.

A New York State farner makes public
through the Country Gentleman the milk
products from his herd of Devon COWS last
year as follows: "From Is Devon cows, some
of them grades and some thoroughbreds, we
have made $40 pounds of butter and raised
IL calves. Therewas no time since the first
of May when we had less than Is Berkshires,
and most of thetime 20, through the season.
We feed nograin to the cowsafter the llOth of
May. Through September and part of Oct we
fed fodder corn and millet once day. Since
Oct 20 they have had nothing but cornstalks
Esh Of the we're
three year-olds, which were MIXED last season
for the first time. Through May, June and
July, we made on the average 80 pounds per
day. We used what milk and cream we
wanted for family of egnt persons"

Here the elder and deacon shook hands,

Spring Poetry in the Sanctum.

This is the editor, eh?" said weak and
ii mid man, as he entered the sanctum, re-
moved his hat and leaned his dyspeptic um-
brella against table.
1T is, sir" affably responded the person
addressed.
II have brought round little trife that I
dashed off last night" said the visitor; "the
topic is seasonable, and thought you would
like to publish it,'' and he produced some
neatly written manuscript.
"Of course, it was an "Ode to SPRING"
The editor took it gently, and, having gazed
upon it for an instant, said sternly, as he
handed the manuscript back to the author:
II think, sir, you have mistaken the char
acter of our paper. We can admit nothing
profane in our columns, and I am surprised
that you should enter the field of literature
without having learned how to spel,''
Profanity! How to SPELL" gasped the
astonished bard.
"Yes, sr,' continued the editor, pointing to
passage which had caught his cage eye, or
rather which his eagle eye had caught; here
you say.
How sweet in meadows green to view the
lambs
Innocent creatures, frisking with their dams.'
Damns is spelled with an sn,' sir, and usually
written with long dash. I cannot under
take to sully the pag of my paper with
aught that will bring blush to the cheek of
the youngest newsboy. Good morning, sir.
When you have mastered the rudiments of
photography and learned common decency

The Home in Spring-Time.

With the return of Spring and warmer
weather, it is not too early in common
use. 1t should be remembered that the
first action of the Summer in our temper
ate climate is not to be considered at all
in proportion to the actual heat de-
veloped. There is a peculiar chemial
action in the sun rays, which, most
especially in the Spring, appears to
engender rapid decomposition. Nomat-
ter how thoroughly house is construct
ed, Indifferent as to the skill of the
plumber, necessary precaution should be
exercised. Automatic traps, no matter
how ingeniously contrived, will lose their
selt-reg egulating powers, and as they are
moment they may really be doing
more harm than good in the house.
Just as soon as cold weather is over,
careful housekeeper should examine the
condition of the cellar. 1t there be leaks
or admission OF moisture in the cellar, it
is more likely to be visible now that the
! furnace is no longer in operation than
during the Winter. It is all we'll to look
carefully at the exact places where the
drain n-pipes from the closets enter the
cellar. In some cases these may be built
into the wall and are not visible. Good
architects, with sound sanitary views,
hold in horror any contrivances having
to do with the health Of the inmates
where there is no chance of seeing or
knowing whether deletericus gases are
being filtered through the house or not.
Many sad accident occurs in house
where the fault is sought below the
ground, when it actually exists mid way.
All typhoid fever does not exist in
badly drained neighoorhoods. Its spora-
die character may often be traced in good
nelghborhoods, in carefully constructed
houses, from the careless indifference of
housekeepers, who will not keep their
eyes about them. Cellars should be we'll
cleaned by the end of this month All
accumulation of ashes may hide or keep
IN abeYance mass of corruption, caused
by servants, which becomes source of
malaria when warmer weather sets in.
One great source of health in house is
the free use of water, wherever it is
found. Flushing room wherever there
is wash basin, even ii it be an untenant-
ed chamber, should never be neglected
it all the rest of the stationary wash
basins or sinks in the house are in use
this is all the more reason why the one
not in use should be he most dangerous
one in the whole house, It is perfectly
easy to understand that exactly the me
phitic gases will be formed and escape
!, because there is no water to absorb them
Plumbers will tell you, and wisely, thai
current of hot water, from time to time
should be sent, even in warm weather
, through all the basins in house. Tn;
reason is simple. Quite solid deposits
made Of soap or animal greases, coat the
pipes. which are only dispersed by no
water. A kitchen sink, though much
hot water be passed through it, becaus
it receives much grease and vegetabl
matter, always wants, both in Winter art
Summer, some disintectants.

The Shipping Interest.

In our remarks two or three weeks ago on the
revival Of business, We alluded to the improved
outlook tor the carrying trade; but We hardly
pected TO see rapid and great rise III the
rates of ocean relghts as now reported at varl
ports. The improvement must be exceedingly
gratifying to our ship owners, and congratulate
them on the change No less encouraging is the
advance TO our sMpbuilders for 1t will ntuse new
life into them and lead inevitably to early con
tracts for building: and we have heard If very
recent inquiry from New osk II there were any
ships now building on the MeTinac. The tele
graph from Calcutta quoted Eomeward treights at
el2 per ton. \ month ago the rate was as low as
81. At San Francisco wheat treights to Europe
had risen to 50 shl!ngS per ton--a rise OF more
than 81 within three weeks. \ freight report from
New York says sail tonnage is getting much re
duced and is in demard. Even the coastwiSe rates
are improving one of our New ourypurt ships of
1900 tons measurement is under an engagement
from an Atlantic port to Japan China at $50 900
If the rates in the East should rate at anything
like those quoted taken in connection with the
outward trelghtS from the United States, our ship
owners may be iii the way Of reaplng har
vest which Will compensate them in part for the
hard times they have experienced for several years
past There is another view, we think in this
general revival Of business, from which the ship
builder especially may take courage. and that is
the great advance in the price Of iron in this coun
try and in England This at first blast NAV seem
paradoxcal, iron enters 50 largely into the con
struction even OF a wooden ship. Must not this
advance operate in much greater degree to en-
hance the cost OF iron ships and give our ship
builders on this side Of the Atlantic, where oak
timber and hard pine can be obtained so readily a
decided advantage Mark the prediction the days
of sailing vessels have not yet passed nor the con
struction of wooden ships and it would not sur
prise us to soon find foreign demand springing

Farming at the insane Hospital.

Capt Lakin has raised at the Insane
Hospital at Augusta, this season, COP
bushels of marketable onions on a piece
of land measuring a few rods less than
two-thirds Of an acre. The entire cost
for labor, fertilizers used and estimates
of taxes upon value Of land and interest
upon investment would not exceed one
hundred dollars. The onions are now
worth one dollar and ten cents bushel.
They also raised upon the farm $50 tons
Of hay, $500 bushels of beets and tur-
nps, and 5000 bushels of potatoes, but
one-half Of them rotted. They keep on
the farm eighty head Of cattle, which
include old and young, six yoke Of oxen,
ten horses and one hundred and hfty
pigs
