Power of Music.

It is true that most persons are more
impressed by what they see than by
what thew hear; SO that it has became
maxim that one learns more readily
through the eye than through the ear.
But nature is compromising mother.
II the eye begets the most listing I'M
preston, the ear imparts the most &C.
tive stimulant. Few artists who appeal
to the eye have 90 aroused the vital ac-
ton as those who seek the ear. An illus
tration of the power of sound, expressed
In fitting music to fitting words, is
given by Ben Perley Poor in the Bos-
ton Budget. He says:
Jenny Limbs ballad-singing carried
her Washington audiences by storm.
Without in the slightest degree COM
promising its character of single bal
lad, she infused into every line of 1t
more of the poetic spirit and meaning
than the words, upon the mere read
ing seemed to contain.
It was often the outpouring of the
soul of Scottish peasant lassie, yet it
was one of the most sparkling pieces of
vocalizatiOn ever listened to.
What wonderous versatility was here !
From Bellini to Burns-from the high
est reach of italian art to tho most
homely simplicity of Scottish minstrelsy
and the same effects produced by
each!
At the close of her singing of the
"Last Rose of Summer" on one occa-
sion, Mr.. Webster, who occupied a
front seat, joined in demanding its re-
petition, and when Miss Lind came on
the stage again he rose and bowed low
thrice, his swarthy features gleam-
ing with qualification. The audience
Endorsed the compliment with
vociferous applause.

Crops OF Dakota,

James Boynes, statistical agent of Dakota,
has prepared his report on crops, and sent ii
to Washington. The following is a synopsis:
Wheat harvest in South Dakota is well under
way, and while farmers are straining the capac-
ity Of selfbinders, they are yet unable to COM
plete work before past ripe grain wastes by
scattering. Wheat will be in shock in a few
days Stacking has already commenced. The
yield viii evidently be better, but not so great
proportonately, per acre; but only threshing
will determine the exact status of the yield. In
Moth Dakota harvest is just commencing in
some localities, while in others it will not be-
gin for week Some fields will make IS
bushels per acre, but the most only Is to 18
The only great danger is the ruthless pelting
OF hailstones. Grant county reports the prev
alence Of smut in soft wheat Hand coun-
~ reports some blighted wheat The acreage
is placed 1t 1900, 200 acres, and promisee
about 16 bushels to the acre, which is equiva
lent to q, @O, 600 bushels of better quality Of
grain than last year.

''There is nothing in the reports this year
that has not been known long time," re-
marked Gen. Newton, chief Of engineers, when
questioned about the reports Of coast defense
''They show the utter defenseless condition of
our coast and the impossibility of repulsing an
attack by the navy of any second or third
European power. The defenses of Washing
ton form the most striking example though
no worse than many others. Here is the
national capital, the capitol building, and that
important institution called the treasury, pro-
footed by two diemantled, decaying and super
animated forts that are utterly useless. It is
certainly to be hoped that congress- will

II think as you do, on the part
which reason and nature impose on
women. The women who pretend that
they would have time to be deputiea
and to edu cate their children have not
educated them themselves; otherwise
they would know that it was impossi-
BILE. Many excellent women, good
mothers besides, are obliged, for the
sake of their work to contide their lit
tie ones to strangers; but this is vice
of q social state which at every moment
misapprehends and contradicts nature.
A woman may be we'll at given time,
by sort of inspiration, fill social and
political part; but she cannot perma-
nently except a function which deprives
her of her natural mission, which is do
nestle love. People have often said
that 1 am backward in my idea of prog
ress, and it is quite true that in the
matter of progress and imagination can
admit everything; but will the heart
ever change? 1 do not think so. see
women forever the slave of their own
heart. I have often written this, and I
persist in thinking it.

WORKING the Soil.

Flowing and narrowing have long
been the two chief operations in cult
walton, and the general idea has been
that we plowed the land so it would
harrow easier, and that narrowing was
done to make the soil loose so we could
put the seed in. For general purposes
these reasons are sufficient as long as
they insure thoroughness in the work.
But we can easily apply a well-known
principle that will help us understand
the importance Of the work and aid us
in some cases to decide what to do and
when to do it. All substances decay
faster when exposed to air and moisture ;
therefore the more the soil is stirred and
pulverized the more plant-food will be
developed.

Men complain Of tie pairittisanship
Of our politics. and predict that it will
injure Che national life. But as Ameri-
eesain politics have always been marked
By intense feeling, this view ia 4 little
more gloomy than the facts justify.
The political campaigns of our grand
fathers and our fathers were fully as
exciting and bitter IS those of the pres
ent, yet the Republic still lives. Our
Presidential campaigns are disgraced by
fierce assaults upon the private charac-
ters Of public men. But disgraceful as
they are, they are equalled by
the ealumnies which Wing and Demo-
erat hurled .at each other fifty years
ago; when Clay and jackson were ri:
walls: An amusing story illustrates the
violent feelings which then swayed the
partisans of these political leaders.
In Daviess County, KY, at the time
when Henry Clay was leading the op-
position to Gen. Jackson, who was q
candidate for the Presidency, there
lived aplain, Industrious farmer. He
was an ardent politician, noted for his
hostility to Clay and his party.
But his interest in politics did not
make him Indifferent to his wife's hap
piness: While in town one day, lie
thought he would surprise the good
woman by presenting her with . new
set Of dishes. He selected apretty pat
torn; and being in a hurry, did not ex-
anime them Closely; but had them
packed and placed in his wagon. His
wife was delighted with the gift, but no
slight examination satisfied her feminine
curiosity. In turning over a dish, she
discovered on the, under side a portrait
of Henry Clay. Every piece was thus
marked. Thinking to tease her hus-
band, she asked if he had looked closely
at the Dishes
No." said he. Anything wrong
with them?"
"Oh no But t was little surprised
at your sudden change Of politics"
"Change of politics! What do you
mean ?" shouted the husband, as excited
as if he had been charged with crime.
Picking up plate, he saw the por-
trait. AS promptly as if he were pun
ishing a robber he gathered up the
dishes, and carrying them to the door,
broke them in fragments on the stone
steps: He purchased another set bi
dishes In few days, but not until he
had ascertained that there was no polit:
ical heresy painted on them. Youths

Scene in Court.

"A oOAAO"AuA commentary VI tue
words in Proverbs, "A foolish son is
the heaviness of his mother" was wit
messed not very long since in Phila-
delphia courtroom: A reporter from
the Pacific coast, who was present; sent
the following account of it to the San
Francisco Bulletin: VIM. Moore and
VIM. Richards were convicted Of hav-
ing forcibly entered the house of John
Shaffer and stolen two hundred and
seventy Eight dollars. Moore is twenty
five years of age and married:
Before sentence was passed; his
mother, poor German, came weeping
to the bar, and said she desired to
make restitution of the thoft. She had
come all the way from Baltimore, she
said, and brought her earnings with
her for that purpose. She then pro-
duced leather hand bag, took out
half-a-dozen five-dollar gold pieces, q
roll of notes, all of thcm of small de-
nomination, and counted Thorn out in
the hands of the Clerk of the Court
When the desired sum was made up,
there was left only enough to take her
back home. The money was placed on
Judge Ludlow's desk.
Take it back" said the Judge, "and
tell this poor woman that the payment
of this money will not save her son from
prison. The law must he indicated. {"
The mother wept hard, and said,
"Oh, I understand. I didn't hope to
save my boy from prison. I pay this
money because I want to do what's
right. Justice is justice"
with that Understandings" said the
Court, "let the money be received"
Sentence of Moore and his accom-
plice was deferred until the last day OF
the term. A criminal with such q
mother should suffer keener punish
ment from self-blame and self-contempt
than from full term under the law.

Soap bubbles which will last very

are generally made of this solution:
Dissolve one gramme of dry Marseilles

and to every 100 cubic centimeters of

During the fractional distillation of

the formation of an orange-red sub

and is equally soluble with the hydro
carbons which accompany it.
