TIE NAMELES5 GUEST.
BY JAMES CLARENCE HARVEY.

I wonder if ever the Angel Of Death
Comes down from the great unknown
And eoars away, on the wings Of night.
Unburdened and alone!
wonder if ever the angels eyes
Are filled with plying tears,
As they grant to the souls unfit for flight
A few more weary years.
For it seems at times. when the world is still,
And the soft night winds are whist,
AS though some spirit were lowering near
In folds of drealnlike mist;
And feel, though mortals are nowhere near,
That am not quite alone;
And with gloomy thoughts of dying and death,
My heart grows cold as stone.
But whether tits death that hovers near
And knocks ut the door Of my heart,
Or whether tits some bright angel come
To he OF my lie part,
I cannot tell, and long in vain
The secret strange to know,
While the moments of mirth and grief and pain
Move on in their ceaseless flow.
And at night, when yield to High Power
And ask His tender care.
One yearning cry Of 4 wayward life
Is the burden Of my prayer.
That may bend With willing lips
To Kiss the Christening rod,
And learn the way through the golden gate
TO the great white throne OF Gcd.

This is a good month to make a final
overhauling of the coops, directing all
necessary repairing, and, if needed,
make additional ones, so that when the
hens come of with their broods, you are
prepared for them.
If the quarrelsome man wants his
dog and cat to be the same he gives
them raw meat. The same holds good
with poultry. Raw meat is not so east
ly digested, and is not as nutritious as
cooked. Don't feed too much meat;
but don't fail to give small quantity
from time to time.

One of the most interesting of ST..
Petersburg holidays is the breaking up
of the ice in the Neva. 1t occurred this
year on Sunday, April 18, and was cell
ebrated in the usual way. Gen. Korsa-
koff, the commander of the Fetropav-
lovsky For that stands just opposite the
Winter Palace on the other side of the
Neva, crossed the river in beautiful
gilt boat, accompanied by his staff in
full uniform. At the middle of the riv.
or he drew goblet of water and carried
it on golden tray to the Car, who,
surrounded with the highest dignitaries
of the state, received him in his pal
ace. Congratulating him on the return
of spring, the commander presented to
the Gar, the earthly ruler of all Rus
sian lands and waters, the goblet: The
Gar drank the water, amid the hearty
cheers of the bystanders, filed the emp
tied goblet with gold coins, and handed
it back to the commander. The latter
then returned to his fort. The granite
quay of the Neva was thickly covered
with people eager to see the ceremony.
On the same day hundreds of small
boats made their first passage of the
year, carrying the people from one side
of the river to the other.

pratical device for swimming. Inflated
india.rubber bags support the swimmer,
and enable him to sit upright with

he can propel himself. The principal

propelling apparatus, which is con.

The King of Portugal has eighteen first

manded shelter. The landlord put his
head out of the window and asked who
was there. His majesty replied bv
