OUR JUVENILES.
IN Old Sa,r.

A dear little maid came skipping out
IN the glad new day with merry shout;
With dancing feet and with flying hair
She sang with Joy in the morning air.
" yoa sing before BREAKFAST, you'll cry befor
night"
What croak to darken the childs delight
And the stupid old nurse, again and again,
Repeated the ancient, duh refrain.
Inc child paused, trying to understand,
But her eyes saw the great world rainbow SPAWNED
Her light little feet hardly touched the earth,
And her soul brimmed over with innocent mirth.
Never mind-don't hsten--0 sweet little maid!
Make sure OF your morning song," said;
"And II pain must meet you, why, all the more
Be glad OF the rapture that came before.
"oh, tears and SORROWS are plenty enough,
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough,
But our tears should fall like the dear earths
showers
That help to ripen the fruits and flowers.
$50 gladden. the day with your blissful song,
Sing on while you may, dear, sweet and strong
Make sure of your moment Of pure delight,
Nomatter what trials may come before night"

INDIAN VS.. HARD SPRING WHEAT.
Nc lqg9a.l Bros, of London, Eng
land, have recently published an ex-
haustive report, upon careful tests
made by them of the various grades OF
wheat grown in India, as compared
with the wheats of California, Illinois
winter, Nebraska .soft spring., Rus
sian (hard and soft), Australian, New
Zealand, English and Egyptian. The
test show the Indian wheat to grade
higher than any of the others except
the Russian hard in quantity of water
absorbed, to make more bread than
any of the otllBrs, to make larger
percentage Of bread TO flour than any
except the California, which equals
one grade of Indian wheat in this re-
spect, and ranks nearly the same in
color and texture, but below the Ame-
rican, Russian, English, Australian
and New Zealand In flavor. The table
is an interesting one, not only to mil
lers, but to all Interested in wheat and
flour. No tests were made with the

OUR QUEER LODGER.

We kept little variety shop, sistsl
Margie and I, the profit of which was
quite as small as the wares we sold. Bat,
then, we had no rent to pay owning the
small, brown, old-fashioned house IL
which we lived, and which looked
strangely out of place among the stately
looking modern dwellings, that crowtla,
up against it on either side, quite put
ting it out of countenance by their su
perior height and appearance.
Grandfather built it when the place
was new, and he young man, and when
all that brick and mortar were verdaEt
fields and well-kept gardens, dotted here
and there by houses as low and modest
as his own. He owned large farm, an.
was considered a wealthy man for tho:g
days but acre after acre had been sold
until nothing was left except the house
in which my father had been born,
and which was the only inheritance OF
his children. But we made the most oil
it, Margie and I, as you will see.
hardly think we should have dared t.
do such thing while father hvel, who
would have considered it sort OF sacri
lege; but soon after his death we turac5
the front part of the house into shop,
with show-windows which opened on;
upon the street, in which to display the
articles we kept for sale.
This was matter of necessity rather
than choice, it being all that could CT
at home; and could not leave Margie.
Poor Margie was cripple she had II
ceived fall when only years old, anu
had never walked since. She had beeI
a great care to me for many year, but
never burden. She was SO thoughtful
patient and cheerful, that in the event
of our separation 1 think should have
missed her quite as much as she would
me. She was very useful, too lying all
day on the lounge in her little sitting
room, her hands were never idle, chre-
cheting tides, mats, mittens and edg.
ing, and, doing various kinds of fancy
work, for which found sale in the shop,
and though the price asked was only
moderately in excess of the cost of ma
terial, it helped us not little.
Margie kept all the accounts, too
having a clearer head than I, and g
knowledge, or rather intuition, of char
acter that was wonderful, considering
how secluded her life had of necessity
been. I never thought of taking any
step without consulting Margie.
We two lived very quietly, having
few acquaintance, and no near relative
or friend-except John. John was my
lover, and no girl ever had one more
kind and true. He was poor in worldly
goods, but oh /! SO rich in goodness and
manly worth. He might have seemed

RASPBERRIES.

When raspberries are to be graw'l N
poor, sandy land, the best =
preparation is to open during
deep burrows with two horscs
eight feet apart then to dig A.
enough tidewater muck to fill II t.'e
burrows, which will be thoroughly frozen
before spring, and at the approach Il

mellow, so as to spread evenly; then up
ply a good coat Of ground bone or hair
manure along the rows, and set The
plants two or three feet apart, requiring
about 1000 plants per acre. Bone,
hoof, horn, hair or any refuse ANNA
matter is well adapted to promote the
growth Of raspberries.

60 SLOW.
ny MApaE ELLIOTT.

When you pair of bright eyes meet,
That make your heart in rapture beat;
When one voice seems to you more sweet
Than any other voice you know
Go slow, my friend, go slowl
For brightest eyes have oft betrayed,
And sweetest voice of youth and maid
The very falsest thing have said,
And thereby wrought deal of woe:
Go slow, my friend, go slow!
When you're convinced You are poet,
And, wishing all the world to know it,
Call on some editor to show it,
Your verses full of glow and blow,
Go slow, my friend, go slow!
For many one has done the same,
And thought to grasp the hand Of Fame,
And yet has never seen his name
In print And why--waste- baskets know
Go slow, my friend, go slow!
When you to greed for money yield,
And long the mighty power to WELD
That's always found in golden field,
With senseless pomp and pride and show,
Go slow, my friend. go slow!
For thousands, tempted by the glare
OF wealth, have fallen in the snare
Setfor the thief. And now despair,
Regret and shame have brought them low;
Go slow, my friend, go slow!
The good old earth is never wrong;
Each of her works takes just SO long;
Months pass before happy throng
OF daisies in the meadows grow.
Go slow, my friend, go slow!
And spring gives life to summers flowers,
And summers sun and summers showers
Prepare the fruit for autumn bowers,
And autumn frost brings winter snow
Go slow, my friend, go slow!

The gravel train perhaps does not
run very fast through town, but we
saw a chain of red hot forked light
ming take after it the other day, and
for few miles it was neck and neck,
but in making the first station north,
the train came out full half a mile
ahead, and that too when the light
ming was running on dead level, and
the train wasmaking steep up grade.
1t was such fun for the boys, that the
train would have treated at Donnelly,
but the beer was all gone, and the
whiskey had been out in the rain and

now much he was allowed i'll the deal

The Model Merchant of the Middle ages.
Out into the wide, wide world, where
the fancy of high-spirited youth sees
fame and fortune awaiting the daring
adventurer, trudged the hero of an Oft
told romance five hundred years and
more ago. But the story of Dick Whit
tington is not all romance, and for the
reason that it is in great part, real his
tory, it is more interesting,
The son of gentleman of good birth
but of wasted fortune, Richard Whit
tington was early sent up to London to
be apprenticed to merchant in that
city, which even then was among the
greatest and wealthiest in Christendom
An apprentices lot was by no means a
happy one. He was bound to his en-
ployer by law until he should reach the
age of twenty-one years, and his duties
were often of the most disagreeable and
humble character. He lived in his
masters house, and was treated no bet
ter than one of the lower kind of sery-
ants. It can easily be understood, there
fore, how distasteful such life must
have been to high-spirited boy whose
days had been passed in the freedom of
the woods and fields. And so, wearied
by the tiresome life he led, the North
country boy determined to venture forth
into the world to seek his fortune.
Doubtless many apprentices had done
as Dick Wilmington did, but neither
history nor legend has preserved their
memory.

What Is Water For. !?

Water is SO common we hardly think
OF it. To begin with, water was Gods
builder of the world, as we see it. The
rocks were mud and sand made by wa
ter and laid down by it, one kind on top
OF another. Coal, made of plants, was
covered up by water, so that the rotton
plants were kept there and changed to
coal. Veins of lead, copper, gold, sill
yer, crystals, were cracks i'll the rocks.
filled with water that had these precious
things dissolved in it. And water as ice
(glaciers), ground up rocks into earth,
in which plants can grow, the sea and
streams helping to do the work. Water
builds plants, and animals, too. Three
quarters of what they are made of is
water. When you pay 20 cents for
peck of potatoes, you are really paying
Is cents for the water that is in the
potatoes. A boy who weighs eighty
pounds, if perfectly dried up, would
weigh only twenty pounds. And there
could be no potatoes nor boy without
water. 1t must dissolve things to make
them into new things and it carries
them where they are wanted to build
the new things. It softens food, and
then as watery blood carries the food
to every part of the body to make new
flesh and bones, that we may grow
and have strength. It carries the
plants food up into the plant. Water
carries man and goods in boats, and,
as steam, drives his cars. 1t makes the
wheels go in his factories. It is a great
worker, and we could not get along
without it. And it makes much of the
beauty in the world. Ask your friend
how it does that?

We are sure that all our people I'M
lite i'll the sentiments expressed in the
above telegram from here. Bayfield,,
like Superior, waited for more than a
quarter of a century for that which
came on Monday railroad. The
town certainly has the facilities-the
harbor, the location, and now a rail
road, to make her one of the bright
est, pleasantest and most prosperous
towns on Lake Superior What is
needed now there is capital and enter
prise 10 build and maintain elevators,
wharves manufacturing establishments
and business houses. \ railroad alone
will not build up city, nor will ten

make business; they give facilities for
business. 1t take men of pluck, brains
and money to take advantage IF the
opportunities afforded by the rail
roads, and until a town secures such
men its growth will surely fail to come
up to the anticipations of its people.
