ENTERTAINING HER BIG SISTERS BEAU.
BY BRET HARTE.

&c My sster'l be down in minute, and says you're
to wait if you please;
And says L might stay till she came, if I'd promise
never to tease,
Nor speak till you spoke to me first. But that's
sense, for how would know
What she told me to say, ii l didn't? Don't you
really and truly think SO?
ssAnd then you'd feel strange here alonel And you
wouldn't know just where to sit;
For that chair isn't strong on its legs, and we
never use it a bit.
We keep it to match the sofa. But Jack says it
would be just like you
To flop yourself right down upon it and knock out
the very last screw.
OF you're afraid they would think it was meal
Well, then, there's the album-thats pretty, if your
fingers clean,
For sister says sometimes [ daub it; but she only
says that when she's cross.
There's her picture. You know it? It's like her,
but she amt good-looking. of course!
This is me. It's the best of 'em all. Now, tell
me, you'd never have thought
That once was little that It's the only one that
could be bought
For that was the message pa from the photograph
man where sat
That he wouldn't print off any more till he first got
his money for that.
% What? Maybe you're tired of waiting, Why,
often she longer than this.
There's all her back hair to do up and all her front
curls to friZ.
But it's to be sitting here talking like grown
people, just you and me.
Do you think you'll be coming here often? Oh, do!
But don't come like Tom Lee.
&c Tom Lee ? Her last beau. Why, my goodness /!
He used to be here day and night,
Till the folks thought he'd be her husband and
Jack says that gave him fright.
You wont away them as he did for you're not
rich man, they say;
Pa says you're as poor as church-mouse. Now are
you? And how poor are they?
Saint you glad that you met me? Well, am; for
know your hair isn't red
But what there is left of it's mousy, and not what
that naughty Jack said.
But there must go. Sisters coming. But wish
could wait, just to
If she up to you and kissed you in the way that
she used to kiss Lee"

GermanV'S Claim.

Germany lays claim to having been
the scene of the first successful attempt
to use steam power for propellinga boat.
One of her newspapers recently ascribes
this honor to the psychologist Papin, a
professor at Marburg University early in
the last century. It says that in Sep
TENDER, 1907, he went from Cassel to
Munden on paddle-wheel boat propell-
ed by steam, and on his arrival at Mum
den he endeavored, unsuccessfully, to
get permission to steam down the Yves
ner, for the purpose of crossing the Ger
man ocean to England. He hoped in
England to get the aid of the government
in applying his invention to ocean navi-
cation. But his request was refused by
the Electoral College " for reasons which
they did not feel called upon to explain. y
He then attempted to force his passage
into the Wesner, but was overtaken by
the Munden shippers, who, before the
disconsolate professors eyes, destroyed
his boat. 1t is said he never quite recov-
cred from this misfortune. Three years
later he died.

Anecdote of MaIibran.
[Richard Grant White, in Century. ;.

u
The incidents of Malibran's later life
are so well known to all who take an in
terest in musical affairs, that any partic-
ular recounting would be superfuous
here, even irrespective of the limits and
the purpose of these articles. There is
one story of her, however, which does
not appear in her memoirs, and believe
had never been in print. When she was
singing in the Covent Garden Theater,
in London, the tenor was Templeton, a
Scotchman with beautiful voice and
fair vocal1zation, but dull, without style
or expression and mere split stick Upon
the stage. All at once Malibran declared
that she would not sing with Templeton.
The manager, supposing that she object
ed to him as an artist, and knowing her
kindness and good-nature, asked her the
reason of her decision. After little
hesitation she replied, "Last evening
Mr.. Templeton was going to kiss me"
The manager, who knew Mr.. Templeton
as well as he knew Malibran, sent for the
tenor Immediately, and in the presence
of the haughtily shrinking prima-donna,
told him of her accusation. "Modum
Molly Drawn" was the stolid Scotch
mans reply MEDIUM Molly Drawn, I
wadna kuss We on ony accoont." Mol
~ Brawn, who was then pestered by
gilded throng made up of half the male
butterflies in London, appreciated the
situation instantly, broke into 81 peal of
laughter, and matters were restored to
their former condition.

the saving of it: The value of manure
depends on several things, the leading of
which are: the food given the animal;
the kind, age and condition of the ami
NAL fed; and last, but not least, the care
which the manure requires after it has
been dropped. Rich manure can only
be made from rich food; if straw alone is
fed, the manure must be poor, as the
animal adds nothing to, but, instead, ex-
tracts from, the store of plain-food in
the fodder.
The farmer should sign nothing, I'M
der any pretext whatever, for stranger;
do not even give your address just as
a memorandum. When least expected,
this address will turn up as a signature
to some kind of promise to pay. Avoid
every easy way of making money. No
matter by what name it is called, the
scheme is likely to be fraudulent. Let
every farmer and others who live in the
country, be sure that trees and shrubs
with fruit of heretofore unheard of ex-
cellence, or flowers of unsurpassed
beauty are not introduced by hawkers
and peddlers.
WHILE on some soils salt produces no
apparent results, on others it is of
marked benefit to wheat. Its utility can
only be learned by experiment. It often
has an indirect action, in enabling the
plant to take up SILICA and strengthen
the straw. Its effect in preventing the
growth of those minute fungi which
cause rust and smut is sometimes bene-
fetal. After cold weather has put a
stop to the growth of the plants, salt
sown at the rate Of five or six bushels to
the acre often increases the health of
the plant and improves the appearance
of the grain.
HENRY STEWART, in the New York
Times, says: "Certain it is, however,
that the successful sheep feeder is al
ways on the best of terms with his flock,
and mutual regard, if not affection,
always exists between them. He never
forgets to feed them; he watches over
their comfort, provides them with abund-
ant fresh water, and would feel wretch
edly to see them slipping filthy manure
water to Stake their thirst. This care
pays; without it the flock fails to thrive
and daily becomes poorer, until disease
comes in and makes short work of it.
'The good shepherd loves his Sheep
and the sheep seem to reciprocate the
feeling and to devote themselves assid-
uously to making flesh and fat and profit
to their owners"

FASHIONABLE FANCIES.

SMALL buttons are stylish.
New bonnets are bell shaped.
LACE FIGURED ribbons are new.
A STRAW ruche borders bonnet brims.
JERSEY basques are on spring dresses.
BROCADED hounces adorn spring cos
tunes.
FAILLE sequisante is a new bonnet
trimming.
ScoToH ginghams come in handsome
solid colors.
FnoUNCEs of corded crinoline make
new bustles.
PLEATINGs for the neck have become
very narrow.
RIBBED Jersey cloth is imported for
spring wraps.
MANY new spring basques are cut
double
IMPORTED dresses have long waists
and are bouffant.
Low English heels are now used on
ladies' walking shoes.
FoULARDs will supersede striped and
checked summer silks.
A RETURN to the great popularity of
"LooBNG- GLASS " beads are seen up
on some of Worth's latest creations.
VERY short polonaises, with Louis
Quinze scarfs in the back, are in high
favor.
FICHUs Of black camel's hair, or of the
dress material, will be worn again in the
spring.
FEATHERS will be as popular next sea-
son as they are at present, but flowers
will be associated with them.
SHORT velvet skirts, with bodice and
paniers of some soft sef-colored English
wooden texture, with pelerine and deep
cuffs of velvet, will be fashionable
spring walking costume.
ONE of the characteristics of fashion
this spring will be the wearing of large
sashes, which, in measure, will take
the place OF full draped tournures at the
back; and another will be the adoption
of wide collars which will be worn with
deep cuffs to match.
A STYLISH model for a spring hat. in
the "Queen Nab shape, is made of
amber-colored straw, with cascades of
gold lace yelling wreath of mignonettes
and chenille moss rosebuds, of deep
crimson. Inside, the hat is faced with
crimson shirred satin, with a narrow
band at the extreme edge of amber beads.
A FAvoRITE French style of trimming
a round skirt is to place three tiny gath
cred rufHes around the bottom of the
dress; then above them is set founce
about half a yard deep. This hounce is
then headed with three more narrow
ruf1es matching those around the bottom
of Ithe dress. The edge of the paniers
are tunic, and sometimes the bottom of
the basque is trimmed with little rufdas,
which are cut very small.
DREssMAKERs have set their faces
most resolutely against Mother Hubbard
cloaks, Camisaval wraps, circulars,
listers, or, indeed, any long mantle
which completely envelops the person.
They say, and very truly, that SO long
as the outside wrap is costly and ele-
CANT, it matters but little how plain the
dress beneath is made. So, in their in
terest, and possibly at their suggestion,
modified Hubbards and Uisites are be-
coming quite general. They are now
made semi-long, so that the dress skirt
is well in view.

Crowdinq the Mourners.

Those startling and curious scenes at
funerals and in churches which the
English newspapers perpetually'describe
with the adjective Sc extraordinary I'M
til the word becomes tiresome and over
worked, have just had added to their
number a scene which is extraordinary
indeed. A mans wife had died at Lices-
ter, and before the funeral had taken
place it was believed by the peighbors
that he had left the house and gone to a
place OF amusement with another woman.
When the funeral day arrived, the wo-
man actually came to take charge of the
house, but her arrival was no sooner
known than the dead wife's brother turn
ed her out of doors and large crowd
seized her and pelted her with flour and
black lead and tore her clothes into
shreds. While the husband was on his
way to the church the crowd hooted him
and on his return the police had to pro-
tect him from personal violence.

A Miniature of Aaron Burr.
[Riehard Grant White in Century,

Burr lived until 1886. I remember
that I was walking one day, in my early
boyhood, with my father in Maiden
Lane, he pointed out little, shambling
old man, with rumpled white cravat,
hair whittier than his cravat, and rusty
black coat-a very forlorn and doleful
looking creature. "When you are
older" my father said, "the time will
come when you will remember that you
have seen that man; that is Aaron
B1Irr"

LEADVILLE,
BY JAMES G.. CLARK.

The silver city of the hills,
Whence leap the oceans newborn rills.
The mountain city of the west
A hammock swung from crest to crest
A hammock hung on fast'nings rude
Up in the awful solitude
Where twice ten thousand souls abide
Ten thousand feet above the tide
That kisses with its foaming lips
The keels of fifty thousand ships,
And clutches with it's briney hands
The outlines of thousand lands.
