The Wrong Image.

Nature had done a great deal for
him; he looked like q dude that had
been made to order. He was taking
his first afternoons stroll in the most
recent of his spring suits, and evident
ly enjoyed to the full the many glances
which were cast toward him. He was
walking down Beacon street from
Somerset to fremont, and he could not
possibly resist the temptation to adj
mire the effect of his new clothes, as
his image was reflected from the win
dOws. From each of the windows he
turned away with such look of mild
and gentle satisfaction as did one good
to see. He was evidently laboring nm
der the delusion that no one knew that
he was using the windows for mirrors,
though in reality his attempt to exhibit
interest in the articles in the store was
calculated to deceive only the feeblest
minds. The looking-glass upon the
corner drugstore did not escape his
attention, and it was evident that he
could not deny himself the pleasure of
a side view of his ideal dude profile
and miracle of collar
Now, there are peculiarities about
that looking-glass, and one of them IS
that it is set at such a strange angle
that when one looks into IL he can
never be sure what part of the city he
will see reflected there. So it happen
ed that when this Immaculate youth
turned his head toward the mirror, at
the infinite risk of saving his head of
on the edge Of his collar, he saw, in
the exact spot where he expected his
image to appear, the apparation of
man, slender and unhealthy, looking
like himself, but clothed In rags, and
with a nose whose ruddy hue would
have stopped an express train at one
thousand yards. This startling spec
tacle was too much for the weak nerves
of the 'dudelet, and but for the excess
sive tightness of his neither garments
and the stiffness of his shirt and collar
he must have fallen on the pavement
and broken himself in two. With re-
viving consciousness his hand sought
his nose, and an expression Of relief
came into his eyes as he found it of the
usual size. A friendly window also
showed him his image as his own fond
fancy had painted it; and so he recoV-
cred, but for the rest of the day timid
look came into his eyes, and the shad-
owy semblance of blush rose to his
cheeks whenever he turned his eyes
toward plate-glass windows. Boston

Where to Go in sickness. zzs

Some years ..go the students of GER
tain college in the State of New York
were in the habit OF voting in the town,
as they had right to do, instead of at
their homes. But, one year the political
party against whom the students had
usually voted, secured the control, and
appointed two or three of their ad-
herents guardians of the ballot-box.
As one student after another present
ed his vote, one of these officials, a
pompous, strutting man, challenged
him. Several students had yielded
rather than enter into any contest with
the cloud" man. But, at last, there
came up homely, awkward student,
gifted with large stock of mother-wlt:
''StopP' cried the pompous man, i'm
peratively, Us the student was about to
vote. ''Are you a voter, sir?"
'Yes sir, drawled the student
"Where do you live?" demanded the
man, thinking to make short work of
this green youth.
''Why here, sir"
81 mean, where do you reside?"
why, at the college, SIR"
'You are student there"
''Yes, sir"
"You are merely student, and, yet,
claim to reside hereP'
''Yes. sir. reside here. Where else
should live and attend this college?''
''You Know what l mean we'll
enough" said the pompous man. i'm
patiently. Don't you ever go away?"
''Of course l do, sometimes. The
safety of the town doesn't require my
constant presence. drawled out the
student
A laugh ran through the crowd, and
the pompous man grew red in the face.
But he gathered himself up for a final
effort
Young man," said he soiemnly,
"these eyasions are of no avail. An
swer me this one question: If you
were sick, where would you go?"
The student hesitated, as if he did
not like to say. "Home sir" or "Where
my parents live"
Il insist on an answer" persisted
the official, with the triumphant air of
a man who has driven his opponent
into a corner. "Where would You go
if you were sick?''
"Well," drawled out the student,
"If l must tell, l should-I sheuld-go
to bed"
Amid the roar of laughter which
rang through the town hall. the
pompous man stepped aside, and the
student handed in his ballot.

very conservative, though 1t takes
time to have good thick gathering on
wine. And you know that good old

OF cobwebs is worth fabulous price. -
The wine merchant took up a bottle

A Few Notes About Work

Keep record.
Tar sleeps noses.
Work for success.
Weed out poor hens.
Drink little ice water.
Observe rigid cleanliness.
Insure the farm buildings.
Hot weather favOrs yermin.
A pig loves a run in the clover.
Late cabbage require rich soil.
Buckwheat mellows cloddy land.
Give frequent change of pasture.
Unclean stables breed bad disorders
Ahundred-day pig may be very profit
able.
Pure drinking water is of the first
value.
Muzzle the horse when the corn gets
large.
j Young stock need a separate feeding
place.
Timber cut in midsummer is most
durable.
Improve the live stock through better
males.
Protect the work horses from flies
with sheets.
Ripe, woody, late cut grass does not
make good hay.
Sheep need shade and shelter as well
as food and water.
Top-dress newly mown meadows with
fine manure.
Cultivating the corn prepares the soil
for future crops.
A clover sod turned under is a heavy
coat of manure.
Poor layers and bad mothers should
60 to the block.
Salt stock once week; not necessarily
on Sunday.
Dry earth makes good bedding for cat
tie in midsummer.
Cut milIet or Hungarian grass before
the seed gets ripe.
Give work horses frequent and small
drinks of cool, pure water.
Flat turnips sown now will yield ex
Cellent food for sheep in late autumn.
Sow buckwheat for the second crop or
to fill out where another has failed.
Place a wet cloth in the crown of the
straw hat it may prevent sunstroke.
Superphosphate is a most acceptable
fertilizer for ruta bagas sown this
month.
Manure begins to draw interest as
soon as spread, payable at the next har-
vest.
Select portion of the corn field for
seed, and giveit extra attention. Breed
up the corn.
Repeated sowings of fodder-corn make
continuous supply of green feed at the
close Of the growing season.
The root crop has superseded the sum
mer fallow in the rotation, and the use
OF the land is nolonger lost for whole
year.
Horses as we'll as boys enjoy an even
ing bath. They are profited by it if last
ing only few minutes and they are
subsequently, rubbed dry.

short, there was hospital at, anc
| 1t was filled, of course, with wounded
soldiers. The girl, just seventeen then
used at times to go with the nuns, and
protected by their costume, to the hospi
tai, to minister to the wounded men
One, beautiful young officer who had
lost his sight attracted her attention.
She used to watch him from afar, and
| think of him when she left him, until
she fell in love with him. At last, one
day, when he had been suffering very
much, and had, as she thought, fallen
asleep, her feelings overeame her. The
Sisters were busy elsewhere, and she
crept up to him and kissed him. He
was not asleep,i seems. He caught her
hand, and she, in pulling it away, lost a
ring from her finger But though she
hid herself among the nuns, she could
not forget him. He haunted all her
dreams.
When she next visited the hospital,
she looked for him in vain; his cot was
empty. The nuns told her that the
Madonna had performed a miracle, and
given him his sight by kiss. sShe knew
what that story arose from, but she held
her peace. And to this day, Ferdinand,
she loves that man so entirely that she
can love no one else The ring she lost
has been betrothal ring in her family
for generations She faneies that some
spell attaches to it. Otherwise she is a
sensible girl. Ferdinand, what ails you?
Brother, cried, do you not know, do
you not remember, it was who lay
blind in that foreign hospital? 1t was |
she kissed. 1t is | who wear her ring.
And held before his eyes the emerald
that had worn upon my finger for five
long years.
Ny story is nearly done. A week after
this I went to meet the evening train
from London, commissioned to escort
Laura Lee to our old home.
When / first spoke TO her, she looked |
at me in a singular way, ,Oand her color
came and went rapidly.-As for me, it |
seemed that | had known her all my |
life. How told her the story do not
know, but tell it did, on my way home.
And the ring that had snatched from
her hand adorned it again-a betrothal
ring in very truth-when we crossed the
threshold of home together.-Fate had
united us, and we have always blessed
Fate.
Once-a year or two agony wife

Sister who was quite unknown to us
showed US through it. Over one cot

1t was here said the nun, that Our
lady graciously performed a miracle.

The CLARION.
A Perennial Grass.

Peahaps to tell The CLARION readers
who are farming and stock raising, of /:
perennial grass whose tops furnish gooC
grazing, make fine hay, while its roots
supply excellent hog food, in almost in
exhaustible quantities, would be of in
terest to them, and especially those who
have rich bottom lands that are frequent.
Iy Oyerfowed so as to render them profit
less, or those who have arid, drouth-
stricken places that are void of verdure.
The ''drouth-pFoof grass" will supply the
deficiency of such places. 1t sends its
deeply penetrating roots fdT Iowa into
the earth after moisture in the dryest
places, and by being so deeply rooted it
can bear repeated overflowings with
comparatively no injury, and at the
same time keep up a most vigorous
growth, as though there were neither
food nor drought. Its roots are white,
tender, from the size of a goose quill to
that of ones finger, and penetrates from
three to twelve feet deep, and yields
from 1000 to 1000 bushels of hog feed
per acre, which hogs eat as greedily As
thev do sweet potatoes. The roots grow
in Joints of about two inches each, and
each Joint contains germ, which, if cut
off by itself will produce a bunch of
grass When it once gets a foothold it
Is at home, spreading by seeds and roots
until it runs out everything else. Freez-
ing, flooding, and continued drouths are
alike harmless to It. 1t comes up early |
in the spring and stays until late in the |
fall, and may be cut for hay every four
weeks from May until frost, making all |
the way from one TO eight tons of hav |
per acre at a cutting, and that of excel /
lent quality. 1t should not be sown
earlier than April or May, nor later than
August or September. Flowing the
land in spring, once in three or four
years, assist it in keeping up It's vigorous
growth. All kinds of farm stock are
fond of it, and it equals blue grass or
in milk and fat producing quail
ties, and horses, when not at work, keep
fat and sleek on grazing it, without any
grain being given them. When it goes
to seed it frequently attains the height
from ten to twelve feet. After taking
all the roots out of the land that can
be found, just as good a stand
)f grass will come up, as grew there be-
fore, and the tearing up the earth, after
The roots, seems to act both as a culti-
Vation and fertilization, for it will grow
afterwards with renewed vigor. Its de-
cay of roots will constantly improve even
he poorest land. J. w. WALKER.

Death of Almont.

The death Of this celebrated trotting
stallion is a serious loss to his owner,
Gen. w. T. Withers, to whom he has
been bonanza, and who acquired a ma
tional reputation through his colts. As
the general joeosely said on his return
from a trip to Boston, che found himself
quite famous and most cordially received
because he was the owner of AlmOnt.
Almont was twenty years old this spring
General Withers bought him some ten
years ago from Col r. West, paving the
enormous price as many thought at the
time of Sl5, 900 for him.. But Gen. With
ers knew what he was doing and the result
showed that it was wise purchase. He
deserves andwill doubtless receive a fitting
obituary notice from those papers which
are devoted to equine literature. While
Almont is a great loss, yet General
Withers has other stations to take his
place, and Fairlawn will continue to
rank as one Of the most celebrated breed
ing establishments for the trotter in the
West.-Kentucky Gazette.
