JANUARY so bleak and drear,
First reigns supreme; then leaves his throne
For airs not mflder than his own.
VINO only can his praises sing. II II 4
Then February brings with her
No balmy aiRe, or fragraue- aOUVef9s -
They rudeiy blow, and scatter leaSee 2 =
That once were green from SUN and showers
But March winds now are wnistnng load,
OF chilly air and frost work fine,
Upon our panes; which Father Time,
With magic wand, will soon ehace.
Next come the gentle April showers, -.
Which clothe the fields in garbs Of green,
While in the meadow, flowers bright
Spring up from darkness into Light,
And are rob d In their brightest sheen.
But April soon gives way to May, -f,a
Who comes with dainty, graceful! tread
With balmy days. both bright and fatr,
And sunny skies above her head.
Who brings the clear and pebbly brooks.
The leafy trees, the summer birds,
Whose singing DER the wood is heard,
From every deep, seQuestered nook.
July beams down upon us next,
With kindly smiles and cheerful face,
Her blazing sun, so warm and bright,
And skies of blue with feecy white,
No lowering cloud in them we trace.
But August now bids July haste,
And leave for her the sultry sun,
That makes the dainty flowers fold
Their petals bright, of red and gold
And then her fieeting race Is run.
The month of harvest time has come!
September, with her golden glow
OF autumn leaves, with berries red.
In graceful wreaths twined round her head,
And festive garlands hanging low.
October's sun now floods the sky,
With streaks of red, both rich and light;
But soon to fade and pass away,
Like mans feet winged and sunny day,
Yet CLOVIS the deeper in its might.
October's sun has ceased to shine
Aud flood the sky with crimson bright.
November, dreary queen. has come,
To gather her broad harvest home,
And WELD her scepter, now, with might
December, saddest queen Of all,
Your time to reign has come!
But soon in death your eyes will close,
And you will gather sweet repOse-
While angel forms will bear you home!

A Dog That Understood.

"A CORRESPONDENT writes to the De-
troit Free Press: Some years ago we
were operating q leather store in o
small town in Wisconsin, and it was
part of our business to buy hides for
shipment East. The hide-house was
situated in rear of the lot and wheel
barrow was employed to convey them.
This dog. which we named Watch, part
shepherd and Newfoundland, always
carried with the greatest delight the
key, which was attached to q piece of
single by string, to the hide-house.
One day as Watch pranced gaily down
to the hide-house with the key in his
mouth he met strange dog. The two
commenced to snarl at each other, and
Watch closed his teeth so tightly into
the piece of single that he broke it in
two and lost one piece and key. When
we got to the hide-house he came up
and had only the piece in. his mouth.
"Watch," said /, IS this won't unlock
the door; where is the key?" Watch
looked up. and when the words were
repeated and the door shaken, to show
that it could not be opened. he started
of. In short time he returned with
the other piece of the single. He was
again shown the two pieces, put to-
gether this time, and made to under,
stand that the key was yet missing. It
was getting late and we followed him.
He stood . moment, as If rejecting
where he was at the time he met the
dog, and seeming up his tracks, found
the key and brought it to us dangling
from the string between his teeth. Il
seems by this that he certainly UNDER
stood what we said to him about the
lost key.

covered with small fish; eight feet Of
chain are attached to the hook, and
then sixty feet of rope strong enough to.
hold horse. We let the bait sink to
the bottom and wait in tranquility for
q bite. By and by there is gentle tug
at the hook, or sensation" as some
of our party called ii -easy-slow-you
are not quite certain whether he is
there-you hold your breath-whisper
to your companions, 'Hush-rve got
oner' The shark starts off with the
bait, you let him run about yard,
then with one mighty jerk fasten the
hook in his mouth, and haul in. That
is where the fun begins. If you ever.
lived on farm, tried to lead COW in
the road that was bound she wouldn't
60 at all one minute, and then bound
to go both sides of the road at once,
then to 60 backward, and then to
climb trees-you can imagine what it is
to haul in a shark. You yell all the
time, you must yell; you can't help it.
You feel that if you don't veil, you
won't get the shark. Your compan-
ions begin to yell. Hand over hand
you tug in the line. You stop yelling
for minute, and inch by inch the shark
takes the line out, he brings your hands
clean down to the gunwale. You rally,
brace your feet-give another yell.
The crew help you pull-they yell
they speak encouraging words to you.
You puff and yell, and pant and howl,
andstrain hand over hand while the crew
shout, '.Hang to himr' Whack 60 your
knuckles against the gunwales, but you
still hang and yell. just when you
feel as if you couldn't pull another
pound, his great ugly head comes in
sight. Then you give big yell, and
right in the midst of it the shark gives
a flounce and pours a bucket of salt
water into your face and breast. You
grab the chain with both hands, Lift his
/ cad clean out of the water, and then
tie brute plays he is an auger
add turns himself over and over, you
think, at the rate of forty times a min
ute. Then you yell, in right down
earnest, t'Hit him! hit him! hit him''
Meantime the crew are not idle.
Armed with clubs three feet long they
pound first his nose (his brains lie in
his nose), then the gunwale, then the
chain within four inches of your hand,
then his nose again. The shark stops
lodging for moment-a few more
welts on his nose and he is s'deader."
We get him aboard with hooks and
levers. Then you sit down and try TO
draw long breath-perhaps you will,
but I didn't. I concluded one was
enough for me. and in the future
would help yell. In the evening I
went to teachers meeting. where. the
question came up of the divine care of
animals. 1 asked if it was right to
take the life of an animal just for the
pleasure of it, and it was voted emo"

Ten minutes devoted he strictly to

that he was evidently NO disciple of

"How is that?" asked the cook, as
she cleared away the table.
"Well, marm," said the tramp,
giving his chair hitch back and
stretching his legs out comfortably.

"Well, l declare" remarked cook.
"Yes, marin. Another lady, when I

Shops In a Chinese Provincial City

LANCHOUFOO is the residence of the
VicerOy of Kansuh and Shense. Our
residence was situated in lane leading
off the main street. Taking three
soldiers as an escort we strolled into
the busy thoroughfare. The shops of
course will not bear comparison with
those of Southern city. Foreign
goods were rarely to be seen. Here
were carpets made from camers wool,
Kansuh tobacco, Russian cloth of
bright cOlors. Woolens of English
make were not sought after, but these
Russian cloths are popular among the
MongOl traders, who come to Lanchou
with their sheep and wool for sale.
They are no match for the willy Chi
nese, who haggle over bargain till the
poor MOngOl gets tired, and receives
probably a third of the value of his
goods. Cotton goods were principally
confined to native manufactures, but
we saw in some of the shops American
and English drills and highly elaborate
lowered chintz. The silk shown was
of the produce of the looms of Soochow
and Marking, but with the exception
of the mandarins, who are purchasers
of the fabrics, the trade is small, owing
to the poverty of the people. The dis
play of animal goods consisted of mutt
ton and beef in large quantities, as the
people do not eat pork. The tobacco
from Kansuh is renowned all over China
for its peculiar pleasant flavor. Its
preparation is carried on in small shops.
The universal sign in every Chinese
store, "No two prices" meets the eye
on every hand, but it is only q myth.
You ask the price of the best water
pipe. The shopman blandly saws:
Your foreign excellency. this pipe is
to be sold for five leang of silyer''
($7.50.) You reply, "It is too dear;
will give you two and half leang."
Gould not sell it for that price; look
at it, the white copper alone cost that
amount We pretend to leave the
shop. whereupon our man cries out.
-Four leang." to which we take no
notice. Finally, after shouting s.Three
and hail." Three" he gets us back
again to the counter, when we offer
him "two leang." He gazes in blank
establishment and says, "You must be
INDUCING in idle talk;" but after much
fuss, during which he attempts to sub
stitute another pipe for the one select
ed. we pay him the silver and depart.
AS we are leaving he remarks to his
companions, Those foreigners are
gaining knowledge of trade; they will
soon know how to drive bargain. ~

THEY were holding an outdoor ward
meeting the other night. and speaker
had just commenced to warm up to his
work, when stranger with all his
worldly "duds'' in an old sheep-skin
on his back. boots gone, hat going and
dyed-in-the-woOl tramp air about him,
halted on the outskirts of the crowd.
The speech soon caught him, and he be-
gan to applaud. At the end Of every
sentence he clapped his hands and
roared like fog horn. No matter
whether the speaker s. hit 'em'' or not,
the stranger never failed to come down
with the applause, and he carried a
good share of the crowd with him. Aft
er the speaker had finished, and while
he was wiping his heated brow, the
tramp approached him and said:
"That ere speech was one of the
best | ever heard in all my life.''
"Ah? I'm glad it pleased you.''
"Pleased me! Why, it lifted me
right off'n my feet! tell you, you're
born orator, and I just wish 1 could
stay in this town and hear you make q
speech every night"
Yes, l wish you could"

I shall, however, think Of your speech a

well as 1 do that if / hadn't put in my

and that was great speech. but if you
don't know that hollering is what does
the business. you'd better hang right
up"

bly, concluded that the reasoning was
sound, as he passed over the money
