The Old Piow.

Many time. old pillow, I've followed you
FROM early morn, when weeds were damp
Till twilight donned her somber robes of
night,
And believing bull-bats winged their hurried
All, how long the smoking burrows seemed,
when on my head the hot sun hercely
How oft amid the rank and waving corn.
Have listened for the dinner-horn,
blast proclaiming "jowr' and turnip-
Molasses, buttermill, cold pie, and beans.
How gladly did leave you when it rained,
And how, with boyish glee the creek
Butwhat a blow, when welcome clouds were
The voice that said, go an pillow that
Dispeled at once my glad and joyous
dream,
Like pouring olabber into sweetest cream.
The hand of time has used you roughly
pillow;
Your once bright bar is worn and rusty,
And the faded letters on your rotting stock,
Like time,worn carvings on memorial
Only in the drcamiest way can tend.
The souls OF past and present things to
blend.
Old Gray, the lazy horse thatus to draw
You through the SOIL is long since dead.
His "maw"

How used TO yell and jerk and pull,
But all in vain, for stubborn Gray, alasi
Would turn aside and MUNICH the fox-tail
grass.
His mouth for green stun' one day took
him off,
For while out grazing near the water
trough,
He stumbled DER a cruel stone and fell,
Ker chunk heels over head, into the well.
We drew him out with cable, ropes, and
steers,
And my young eyes were filed with scalding
tears,
When they stretched his lifolcss body on the
ground,
While mournfuly l sobbed and stood
around,
A highly-colored picture of the "hlues"
Good old friend, took from him his Shoes
And then ran with heart not half so sore,
And sold them ut the neighboring village
store.

1t had been better both for you and me,

For pleasures are for boys, not for men.
Soon you will moulder down into dust,
And L will sink into the damp earth's
crust
But an, old pillow, you're better off than I.
For you have nought TO do but idly lie
Upon bed made soft by rain and dews
While am wearing agonizing shoes.
You have no tantalzing bills to meet,
No pug-nosed rooster stops you on the

And tells you with sinners hardened

Canned Food.

1t is a singular fact that we are hI-
debted TO Pompeii for the great indus
try of canning fruit. Years ago, when
the excavations were just beginning, a
party OF Cincinnatians found. in what
had been the pantry OF n house, many
jars of preserved figs. One was opened
and they We're found TO be fresh and
good. Investigation showed that the
FIGS had been put into the jars in a
heated state, IN aperture left for the
steam to escape, and then scaled with
wax. The hint was taken. and tho
next year canning fruit was introduced
into the United Statcs-the process be-
ing identical with that in vogue in
pompcii twenty centuries ago. The
old ladies in America who can toma-
toes and peaches do not realize that
they are indebted for this art To peo-
pie who were literally ashes but few
years after Christ. There is nothing
new under the sun. Canned tomatoes

Hancock Defeated.

When Hancock was stationed in
this city in 1S5S-Gl, as quartermaster
of the southern district of California, he
was an athlete of no small pretensions.
Among the animals used for transport
tation. and over which he had charge,
were number of camcls, some Of
which were the possessors of vicious
tcmpers. One, large buck, was a
continual source of trouble, and he gen.
orally made it Lively for the unlucky in
dividual who had occasion to go within
the Enclosure in which he was confined.
On one occasion Hancock went into the
corral on some matter of business. but
as soon as the old camel saw him he
started on the dead run for his unlucky
victim. The man who has since be-
come famous on many % hard-fought
battle ground did not quail from the at
tack of his formidable antagonist, and
soon Grnco-Roman wrestling match
of the most approved style was taking
place, that would cause even the re-
doubtable Muldoon to pale with envy.

Personal Cleanliness.

Bathing is conservative OF health, but
all persons do not find il so. A cold
plunge bath is by no means panacea
for all human ills. rs some seem to
think. An occasional wash from head
to foot in winter, and bathing frequent
ly in summer, may be considered
among the valuable agencies for pro-
noting health. But Ihave known deli
icate people TO be injured instead of
being benefited by cold bathing. For
most persons a wet sponge passed rap
idly over the surface and followed soon
by friction with rough towel is bath
enough for health purposes. When q
cold bath Is not followed by good
surface glow, il is doing more harm
than good.
