AS THEY LOOK OUT TO SEA,

saw two women standing on hill
That looked out toward the sea. The face
of one
Was worn and scanned with care, yet calm
and still,
Like one whose work is done.
The others face was young and fresh and
fair,
And yet within her heart there seemed to
be
Some sorrow, giving her pensive air,
As she looked on. at sea.
They looked not at the wind-blown flow
ers that lay
About their feet but followed with their
eyes.
A stately vessel sailing on her way,
Where pillows fall and rise.
The maiden, though her face bespoke her
At Parting with her lover, yet seemed
fain
To lull her sorrow with the fond belief
That they would meet again.
Not so the other, for her trembling lip
Told that she thought that she had lost
her son,
That ere again those waters knew his ship,
Her life's voyage would be done.
They waved their kerchiefs, thinking they
cOulO see
An answering signal from the vessels
deck:
Then watched the ship until it seemed to be
Only distant speck.
They watched it out of sight then turned
away
With heavy steps and heavier hearts, and
hands
Locked in each others, while the twilight
gray
Settled upon the lands.
And as they slowly took their homeward
path,
From either heart went up silent prayer
That heaven would arrest the tempest s
wrath,
And one dear sailor spare.
o. ship receding 'twixt the earth and skies
Swift be thy going, swift thy coming be;
Gladdening his mothers heart and his
sweetheart's eyes,
As they look out to sea.

A MiIlionaire,sH abits.

I The Hon. Russell Sage is one of the
money kings of America. He started
in life no better off Comparatively speak
ing, than the average man. To-day he
/ Is worth many millions. His great for
tune was accumulated by energy, pru-
dence and business tact. Good health
has enabled him to give personal and
almost unremitting attention to his
wide interests. He realizes and often
says that his habits of life have kept
his physical condition perfect and en-
abled him to accomplish what he would
not have otherwise been able to do.
Few men are as methodical as Mr. Sage.
He takes three meals day. His lunch
at one o'clock in the afternoon is his
| dinner. He designates it lunch be-
cause it is taken in business hours. His
supper is at $50. He calls it high
tea. The reason of this designation
is that ii is substantial at all times, and
when company is present it is convert
ed into dinner.
1t is the practice of most people who
have three meals day to make one of
them light Mr.. Sage makes hearty
meals of them all and his good diges-
ton makes the whole three ENJOYABLE.
/ He retires at 10 or 1910 o clock. In
the summer he arises at 6:30 and has
breakfast an hour later. His time for
arising in winter is and his breakfast
is served at s. The meal comprises a
steak or a chop, as a rule a
| baked potato and roll.
These things are invariably accom-

Mr.. Sage3 lunch. or dinner, con-
sists of roast beef or lamb. with bread
butter and fruit. His high tea IS
composed of chops, steak or broiled
chicken. with potatoes, biscuit and the
| like. He is particular about bread,
| which he eats at every meal. 1t is
homemade, white and light and sweet,
such as one expects to lind in the coun-
| try, surrounded with the romance of
milk and honey Coffee is taken at

breakfast and tea at supper. Occasion
ally Mr.. Sage has tea served at his
lunch. In the summer, however, his
midday meal is accompanied with
claret. In the winter he adopts a
practice peculiarly his own. After his
breakfast he takes tablespoonful of
good old bourbon whisky in Apol-
| linaris. 1t is first rate tonic, he SAYS.
Mr. Sage takes exercise, which he
deems as necessary to his health as
regularity in his habits. He likes
driving and owns splendid horses. His
time for driving in the summer is in
! the afternoon at the close of business.
He stakes an hour or an hour and a
half on the road. In the winter the
drive is taken after breakfast, as it is
dark by the time he gets up from his
! office in the afternoon.
| He is not addicted to the use of to-
bacco. In his boyhood he lighted a CT
car and pulled away until a sensation
stole over him that made earth and
even circuses lose their charms for
| him.

Egxntian Agriculture.

Every reader of the Bible is familiar
with its frequent references to Egypt as
a land so rich in corn that it not only
produced abundance for its own dense
population, but yielded Supplies for eX-
portation to neighboring countries.
Profane history corrobOrates these
statements Diodorus Siculus bears ex-
plicit testimony to the skill of the farm
ers of ancient Egypt. He informed us
that they were acquainted with the
benefits of a rotation of crops and were
skilful in adopting these to the soil and
to the seasons. The ordinary annual
supply OF corn furnished to Rome has
been estimated at 20,000,000 bushels.
From the same author we also learn
that they fed their cattle with hay
during the annual inundation, and at
other times tethered them in the mead
ows on green clover. There sheep were
shorn twice annually Ga practice com

a Chinese Farm.

The Chinese farmhouse is a curious
looking abode. Usually it is sheltered
with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick spreading banyans. The walls
are of clay or wood, and the interior of
the house consists of one main room,
extending from the floor to the tiled
roof, with closet looking apartments
in the corners for sleeping-rooms.
There is a sliding window in the roof,
made of cut oyster shells arranged in
rows, while The side windows are
mere wooden shutters. The floor is
the bare earth, where at nightfall there
often gather together a miscellaneous
family of dirty children, fowls, ducks,
pigeons and litter of pigs, all living
together in delightful harmony. In
some districts infested by marauding
bands, houses are strongly fortified by
high walls, containing apertures for
firearms, and protected by a moat
crossed by rude drawbridge.

Young, strong are be and he,

If he be lost at sea.

ewes yeaned twice year. For re-
ligious as well as economical reasons.
they were great rearers of poultry,
and practiced artificial Matching as
at the present day. The abundance or
scarcity of harvests depended upon the
height of the annual inundation. If too
low, much of the land could not be
sown, and scarcity or famine ensued.
On the other hand, great calamaties
befell the country when the Nile rose
much above the average level. Cattle
were drowned, villages destroyed and
the crops diminished, as in such cases
many of the fields were still under
water at the proper seed time. In 1918
acalamity of this kind took place, when
the Nile rapidly attained height OF
81 feet above the proper level.

dences-Exquisite Apartments.
New York Letter in the Indianapolis Journal
Mr.. Whitney's house stands at Fifty
Seventh street and Fifth Avenue, fac
ing the Norman chateau of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, which is ON the northwest
corner. 1t is solid and effective brick
building Of large size, adorned with
bands and holdings of brown stone,
which in many places Is richly carved
in scrolls, arabesques and flowers. On
the Fifth Avenue side, there are great
projecting window, a pointed, tile
rooted pavilion, and the curved glass
top of a second-story hot-house, full of
plants. On the other side, the elabo-
rate portal is fianked by tall. round
tower, with peaked spire like those of
the Clicquot Castle in the champagne
country; and beyond that again, there
stretches the brick wall of an inclosed
yard entered by an arched door of
heavy-paneled wood, like donjon gate.
The windows are mysterious with
thick vines of Jananese ivy.
Between the house and the sidewalk,
the ground is sunk, suggesting castle
moat, and here and there is velvet
turf, decorated with beds of pansies and
Towering shrubs, around which wild
bees and butterflies gather. The inter
ior is still more sumptuous than the
exterior, being fitted up in the hall with
dark wood. The stairway here runs up
to o gallery, on the balustrade of which
beautiful stuffs are hung. The dining
room walls are covered with foreign em.
bossed leather that cost S10,0 900, and the
hall room. noble apartment in the
Louis Seizs style, is rich with tapestries
from Beauvais. This small palace for.
merly belonged to wealthy woman,
who left her husband and ran off to
France with the Prince of Talleyrand-
Perigord, causing a grievous scandal,
She sent back orders to sell the place,
aud it was then bought for Mrs. Whit
ney by her brother, Colonel Payne OF
Ohio, at cost of 500, 900.

A Party Stranded.

The New York Tribune in recent
editorial labeled, "a Party Without
Defense or Reason," starts off with the
following: ave cannot boast as a ma
ton that we have reached very high
state of civilization when great crime
against humanity and against the fun
damental principles of free government
still seems to the successful party a fit
subject for jest or a sneer. The re-
bellion was such crime. But the
party now in power honors and rewards
activity in rebellion"
When the New York Tribune, a pa
per selected by Steve Dorsey in the
presidential campaign of 1880 to circu-
late Republican sentiment over the
land, because, as he stated, it was the
most valuable medium for that purpose
in the country-when this chief ex-
ponent of Republican ideas has no
other subterfuge with which to excite
sympathy than these endeavors to
awaken and arouse among the living
defenders of our union, who have long
since buried their grievances and now
walk hand in hand with their op-
ponents, q renewed spirit ofantagonism,
q renewed feeling of sectional hatred,
and cOnceives this to be its best line of
reasoning, then most surely it represents
q party stranded. Stranded for issues.
Stranded for ideas with which to work
the popular mind.
1t belabors the Democratic party
because it has provided repentant reb-
els with office, but seems blind TO the
fact that the Republican party has been
doing the same thing for years.
The veterans of Ohio well know that
Longstreet's corps was one of the most
effective corps in the confederate army.
To meet it was to face death itself.
And it's commander was rated a regular
butcher. There are still few in this
city who remember the blood-lined
trenches in front of Knoxville. And
now the Tribune says the party in
power ignores the crimes committed by
such murderers of our loyal men who
were upholding their government, and
is providing them with offices.
But what did the Republican party
do with Longstreet? Why, he has
grown old in its civil service. Oh
there is every precedent in that party
for all the complaints the Republicans
make against this administration!
Think of the honors heaped upon Mos
by, Malone, Riddelberger and a host o1
others! Let the Tribune explain why
the fraud Hayes appointed a then
'unrepentant rebel" to the Office o.
postmaster general.

After Three Months.
New York sun.l

Three months ago, a Democratic adj
ministration was established at Wash
ington.
For twenty-four years before, the Re-
publican party had been in power there
and it had been keptin nower in large
part because the people were fearful of
any change.
The transfer of the government from
the Republicans to the Democrats was
dreaded even by not few timid Demo-
cratic capitalists. They We're afraid it
would provoke disturbance which might
be hurtful to their pecuniary interests,
and for that reason many of them voted
for Garfield when at heart they pre-
ferred Hancock. This feeling of the
business community was, of course,
adroitly stimulated by Republican poll
ticians, who also kept alive distrust OF
the South and philanthropic solicitude
with regard to the freedom under a
Democratic administration.
Well, we have now had Democratic
administration for three months. The
Union still exists, no disturbance has
occurred, the wheels of the government
move smoothly, there has not been a
single jar. Instead of the danger APP
pretended from a change, the people
find only improvement and more rea-
son for confidence. The mere sweeping
out of the Republicans from the White
House has wrought great reformation
and when they 60 generally from the
offices the good work will be more en-
phatic.
The South introduces no discord, and
makes no pretensions, but quietly pur-
sues it's path Of progress, only happier
and more hopeful than before. The
freedmen are on better terms with their
old masters than ever before since eman-
eipation.
Danger in q change? Not much.

An exchange says that this very bad
habit can be thoroughly eradicated by
the following method: The mechanism
was an old wheat sack filed with hay
and suspended by a rope from the cell
ing so that the sack hung just at the
heels Of a vicious horse us he stood in
his stall. When the sack was first
placed in position, the kicking equine
let fly both feet at it as soon as it
touched him, but after ten or twenty
minutes Of that kind Of work he came
to the conclusion that the sack would
return as often as he struck 1t, and he
finally gave up trying to KNOCK 1t out.n
This same horse, which has a reputation
as a kicker, can now be hitched to any
vehicle, and he will not kick at any
thing that happens TO strike his heels.
