pohdcrfuhO ctober's sun
Makes paradise of noon:
= And night. with all her stars. as ono
Pays homage 10 her moon.
The sun 10y day. the moon by night,
Stir every sense OF sweet delight.
Through all the long. fierce summer days
Swift messengers have run
To do. through Natures secret ways,
The bidding Of the sun,
That dear October well may share
With al that live her dainty fare.
Into her lap the ripe nuts fall.
With every breeze that stirs;
All trees aud shrubs, or great or small,
Bend low as worsbipcrs
With the rich fruitagc that they bring
A whole year sbountcOus Offering.
She bids the squirrel go with haste,
And gather where he will;
And, thriftless idlers, bids them taste
Till all have had their MI.
She feeds the birds, that know no care
With seeds, dropped idly everywhere.
She bends the orchard boughs low down
For children, as they pass:
And fruits that topmOst branches crown
She drops among the grass
Where age, bent low by weight OF years,
May find unharmed the juicy spheres.
She sends the countrymcn to town.
That city folks may know
Octobcr's come. their feasts to crown
With all good things that grow:
And all the crowded streets she fills
With odors OF the sweet-breathcd hills.
She dips the naples In n dye
OF rainbow pigments made,
And hangs them on the hills to dry
Before the colOrs fade;
Aud day b. day the marvel grows,
Till all the landscape burns and glows.
The Frost-King, with his chilling breath,
She watches close, with care,
Lest some dread sense or sign of death
Should make the good despair,
She bids the hopeless look and see
Death changed TO pleasing mystery.
q, dear October! well may /
Lay pen or pencil down;
All sense you more than satisfy,
And with such radiance crown
The distant hills, they prophcsy
OF hills unseen by human eye.
Sometimes, in dreams. / think i see,
What longing eyes have sought In val
Something of what that land must he
That feels no sorrow, want nor pain.
These hills, beneath October skies,
Have caught the light of Paradise.

RAISING Pigs.

My rule, says writer in the Ameri-
can Cultivator, is to Winter nothing but
breeding sows, since they can be Win
tered cheaply on roots generally, keeping
quiet and holding their flesh well while
in that condition. I will give you my
experience one season with hogs. l had
thirteen breeding sows that brought pigs
during February and March. l adver-
tised them for sale and received $500
for pigs alone that Spring, besides my
own supply They raised nine pigs on
an average, the latter commanding that
year SIS each. One animal raised four
teen pigs fed the SOW ON roots before
coming in, and buckwheat shorts mixed
with warm water, adding what milk and
Stops we had to spare, while all agreed
that the pigs grew splendidly. guard
ed against cold by spreading quantity
OF horse manure and laying floor
thereon, then cutting straw with feed
cutter for bedding, as the pigs needed it.
l like straw better than old bedding for
sows when they drop their pigs, because
the latter is apt to be moist and unclean
There is much to be said in favor of
raising hogs. One is the plan of allow
ing them to run among the fruit trees
through the Summer and Autumn.
Such n practice improves the fruit in
quality, and the hogs eat the fallen fruit,
which contains quantities of insects ger.
minating for the next years crop.
These animals also root up the turf and
manure the land without the cutting of
the roots of trees, as the plow is sure to
do in blowing the land. Hogs may slso
be put to good use in killing out the
brakes in pastures where the pillow can
not be made available. There are many
such fields where Lrakes are spreading
to an alarming extent, occupying valu-
able pasture lands. have often heard
the question asked, Chow can we get
rid OF the brakes p Try hogs. Fence
of small patches at time and let the
hogs root out the brakes. Scatter
shelled corn amorg the brakes, and in
some cases make holes with crowbar
to drop in the corn, following with a
seeding of buckwheat if necessary, and,
when thoroughly subdued mix white
clover seed, orchard grass, red top, Ken
tricky .lue grass and timothy and stock
down for pasture.

Only Blocks.

y st. Louis paper tells Il touching
story of school life. 1t illustrates both
the longing of children to appear as we'll
as their scnoolmates and the mental
suiferings incident to poverty. In one
of the st. Louis public schools many of
the children who came from a distance
were accustomed to bring a lunch and
thus save long walk home FOR dinner.
They generally ate it together and had
merry time.
Among those who stopped one of the
teachers noticed little girl who never
brought any lunch, but who looked
wistfully at her playmates rs they we're
eating their noon meal. But one day
the girl brought her bundle also,
wrapped in paper. At noon she did not
go with the others, but remained at her
desk as if preferring to eat alone.
The teacher thinking her unsocial.
advised her to go to the lunch room with
her playmates, and walked toward the
desk to take her bundle. But the little
girl bursting into sobs, said:
Don't touch it teacher; and OH
teacher, don't tell please. It's only
blocks"
The poor girl had no dinner to bring
but wished to keep up appearances, so
a. not to seem unlike her schoolmates
And she was one of the best scholars in
the school She was very dear to the
teachers heart after that incident

The Sailors Death Grip.

The words "grip," "lay hold" "tenac-
;ty," are expressive of physical force
and moral resoluteness. a boy who
would be thorough merchant is to-
"lay hold" of correct business habits
aud principles. He who desires to
grow up good man must grip GER
tain ideas. The force Of these words
may be illustrated by an incident.
Il was once sailing by the island Of
Cuba" says sea captain, ''when l was
startled by the cry, man overheard 7
A sailor at work in the forecastle had
fallen into the ocean. Selling rope, /
threw it to the drowning man just as he
passed the ships stern. He caught it.
Making slipnoose, l slid down to the
struggling sailor, directing him to pass it
under his arms. He was drawn on
board, but such was his death grip on
the rope. caught as the ship was sailing
by, that it took two hours before his
grasp relaxed SO that it could be released
from his hands. The strands were i'm
bedded in the flesh"

To Lovers of Sea Bathing.

The lovers of sea bathing will learn
with much Interest the result of series
of observations on the temperature of
the sea which were completed some
time since by the Scottish Meteorologi
cal Society. The obse, va,ions were
made every day during a period of four
years and nine months, and the result
was to confirm the impression that the
changes of atmospheric temperature in
tluence che sea but slowly. The varia-
tions in the warmth of the sea water
occur within range one-third less than
that of the air; and the mean tempera
ture of the sea is found to be warmer
than that of the atmosphere in seven
months out of the twelve. The Summer
warmth penetrates the sea very grad
ually, and is more gradually given
of. January is the coolest month, but
the water is coolest in March !;
July is the hottest month, but the sea
water attains its maximum warmth to-
ward the end of August. From that
time the sea becomes warmer than the
SOOlS ~ iuuCl SlOWcI tIdil tuC
weather that in November the average
warmth of the water is six degrees and
in November seven degrees higher than
that of the atmosphere The balance is
reached at the end of March, and then
for the next five months the air Is
warmer than the water. These figures,
which result from careful observations
made at Peterhead, Justify the custom
Of extending sea-bathing late in TIE
Autumn. Sea-bathing should, in fact,
begin late, and may safely end late. 1t
is more dangerous n the warm DAYS of
early Summer than in the chilly days
even of late Autumn. The soa is as
warm at the end of October as it is in
the second week Of June, and the period
between these two dates is the healthy
bathing season for those who are strong
enough to begin early and leave of late.

Bedouin Marriage Customs.

Professor w. Robertson Smith, the
Heresiarch of the Free College, has beer
writing some interesting letters to the
Edinburgh Scotsman during a voyage in
the Hejaz. In one of his latest letters
he says: 81 spoke in my last letter OF
differences that are observable in mar
riage customs, and generally in the place
of women in the Hejaz and Yemen. In
travelling between Jaddah and Suez, !
obtained some additional particulars on
this head, from the waylay of Yemen,
who was my fellow-passenger. Mustafa
Pasha is a very superior t. pc Of the Of
fetal Turk-a man of good education
and obse rvant habits, who has served in
Syria as well as Yemen, and appears to
have made careful study of the habits
of the people over whom he
rules. 1 learned from him that the
Bedouins of Yemen have various tradi-
tional usages which they know to be in
consistent with Mohammedan ortho-
doxy, and are, therefore, careful to con
ceal from the Turks. But there is one
custom among the Aseer which, shock
ing as it appears to outsiders, is openly
avowed and defended from the Koran.
The Aseer Arabs are accustomed to con-
tract marriages of a temporary character
by verbal agreement. The so-called
marriage may endure but day. 1t is,
in fact, no more than nominal con-
tract to avoid the name of immortality
With this it naturally goes that no
weight is laid Oh the chastity of unmar-
ried women. a man who contracts
such a temporary marriage as have de-
scribed may already have ii regular wife.
In that case, he visits the new wife in
her own home, instead of bringing her
to the house where mistress is already
installed. The Waly tells me further
that, not only in Yemen but among
some of the tribes OF the Syrian
desert, the wife claims the. right
to leave her husband at will and
take another spouse, and, also, that
it is a recognized practice for hus-
bands among some af the latter tribes
he specially named the Aneze-for kus-
bands to make an exchange of wives.
All these were obvious remains of early
polyandria, and confirm the observation
that the introduction OF Islam was
marked by great social reforms, of
which we know hut little, bu, which, in
all probability, We're at least momentous
as the innovations in religion which are
generally regarded as forming the es.
sence of Mohammedism. l find, on
turning up the traditions Of the prophet
in Bokhary and Mowatta that the sys-
TEN Of temporary marriages which still
fingers among the Aseer was well known
in Mohammed's time and abolished by
him after considerable hesitation. There
seems to have been a good deal of dis
cussion on the subject even after the
Prophets death, as at one time he had
conceded the practice to his followers" "

TEA AND INDIcEsTIoN.--In his "Magic
Morsels Scraps from an Epcure's
Table" Mr.. Harry Blyth, says the Lon
don Academy, strongly objects to "meat
teas" or, indeed, to the use of tea at
any time as beverage when solid nutri-
ment in the shape Of animal food is par
taken Of He saws, and from our own
gastronomic experience we are strongly
inclined to agree with him: Gall physi-
ologists are agreed that the tannin IN tea
very seriously impedes the assimilation
of muscular fibre. Tea has a
distinct value in the science Of practical
dietetics Taken after heavy meal, say
at the end of a couple of hours, it gently
stimulates the later processesof digestion.
