Proper Protection Necessary to Keep AMI
mails In Good Condition.
ThosNfarmers who have large corn
fields ihtS which they turn stock to for
age during winter, ought to build sheds
for their protection, unless there are
belts of forests neas by, to Which they
can retreat to passahe night, and shell
ter themselves from epitiless storms of
rain and snow during the day. Where
lumber aboundsi sheds may be built in
4 cheap way, and if of ample breadth,
and open only to the south, they will
prove passable protection, even in the
worst weather, They ought to be
placed in.such positions as to be easily
reached by the animals feeding in the
most distant parts of the field, so that
after eating and drinking they are not
obliged to travel long distance for
shelter.
If it is intended to cultivate the field
in corn for number of successive
years, it would be best to make the
sheds close-boarded up all round, and
single the roofs. They might also be
constructed so high as to make storage
room enough directly over the cattle to
hold sufficient a6rn-stalks or hay to
fodder them in the worst weather, and
thus supersede the necessity of their go
ing out during such time for forage.
This would be great comfort to the
stock, and enable them to keep in much
better condition than if exposed to rain
and snow while feeding.
Cheaper sheds NAV be made of hori-
.zontal logs, or perpendicular poles, and
the roofs matched with straw or coarse
hay, When these can not be had, corn
stalks will be better than nothing, al
though the rain andmelting Snow would
soon be dripping doTn through them.
But belts of trees swould be much better
than imperfect sheds, especially if they
are evergreens. These may be set out
anywhere, if they do not already exist,
and they will grow up with great rapid,
ity by properly@cultivating them the

COMING INTO PORT.

Ihave weathered the coming cape of storms
Where the winds of passions blow;
have sheered by the reefs that gnash to foam
The shadows that Turk below;
/ have joyed in the surge of the whistling sea,
And the wild strong stress of the gale
as my brave bark quivered and leaped, alive,
To the strain of its crowded sail.
Then the masterful spirit me,
And with nature wrestled glad
And danger was like passionate bride,
And love itself was half mad.
Then life was storm that blew me on,
And flew as the wild winds fly;
And hope was pennon streaming out,
High Up-to play with the skies.
Oh, the golden days, the glorious days
That so lavish of life we SPENT
Oh the dreaming nights with the silent stars
Meath the skys mysterious tent!
Oh the light, light heart, and the strong desire,
And the pulses quickening thrill,
When joy lived with us, and beauty smiled,
And youth had its free, full sway!
The whole wide world was before us then,
And never our spirits failed,
and we never looked back, but ever on,
Into the futureIwe sailed;
Ever before us the distant bound,
Whose dim and exquisite line
Alone divided onr earth from Heaven,
Our life from a life divine.
Now my voyage is nigh over,
And my stanchest spars are gone,
And my sails are rent, and my barnacled bark
DragS slowly and heavily on.
The faint breeze comes from the distant shore
With its odor dim and sweet,
And soon in the silent arbor of peace
Long parted friends l shall greet.
The voyage is well-ngh over,
Though at times cupful OF wind,
VIII rattle the ropes and fill the sails,
And furroW q, wake behind;
ut the sea has become q WEAKNESS.
And glad into port shall come,
Il it'll my sails all furled and my anchor dropped
And nay cargo carried home.

HENDRICKS AND A DUMMY.
The Vice President Beaten at Chess
BY Wax Figure In the Eden Mu-
New York World

New York World.
A tall man dressed 10 severe black,
and wearing a very shiny and very
high hat, entered the Eden Musee a
few days ago. People who looked at
MS white necktie tied SO simply under
ais collar, and the patriarchal way in
which he walked about, said that he
was church deacon. Other far-see~
ing people, whose sensitive nerves had
been stirred up by the number Of ar>
rests lately made by Superintendent
Murray, advised their nelghbors to be
careful. No one thought for moment
that it was Vice President Hendricks,
but 1t was, and he walked up and
down and looked at himself in wax.
There We're a number OF persons
around the wax Vice President, and
they expressed their opinions freely.
Some said he was a smart man, and
others said he was not, and the tall
gentleman had as much expression in
his face as his waXen imitation. The
wax gentleman looked more comfor-
table than the flesh and blood gentle
man.
The Vice President eventually went
up to little man and sat
BEHIND a CHESS BOARD.
His kings and queens were there before
him, and although he did not speak
he moved his bishops and knights
around so intelligently that the Vice

President thought he would like to
play game at chess with such an in
telllgent little wax gentleman.
So he sat down at the board and
pushed his very high silk hat far
back on his head, People began to
gather. They had learned who the
player vas, and they crowded very
close up to him and the wax player.
1.-Two to one on the wax man" said
a young man with brown mustache.
.'I'll take you'll" was the answer
frona another young man, and the
money was put up in jiffy.
HE looks just like his picture,
doesn't he9" another mau asked.
YES, a friend replied, +" if he had
those little side whiskers shaved off.
| don't think side whiskers are becom
ing to man who may be President.
Hes got dandy suit" was the
next remark heard.
I'll bet he doesen't get it made In
Indiana" was heard second later.
Meanwhile the Vice President play
ed. 1t was remarkable how well his
antagonist, considering that he was
not alive,
MOVED THE PIECES.
The Vice President was apparently
losing ground. He got excited. Not
SO with the gentleman in wax. His
calm, quiet, plaster of Paris blue eye
beamed upon the crowd, and it is no
extravaganza of speech to say that un-
der the most trying ordeals he rem ain
ed the same calm, imperturbable
gentleman of the first part of the
game. He had such an inexpensive
face that he must have been master
at face. His hands moved quickly and
without bit of nervousness, and 1t
was noticeable that he did not bite
his lip the way Mr.. Hendricks did.
Some of the remarks that went
around at this stage of the game were
like these:
rive to one on waXWOrkS.'
There were no takers.
Hendricks is a dandy player, but
the wax man can give him points"
Il alwas heard that the Vice Presi-
dent was calm. Why, he's all ruf>
fed"
THAT fellow in wax is dandy"
The game finished and the Vice
President arose, defeated. He put on
his high, silk hat and moved out OF the
crowd and left the building.
A spruce, dapper little gentleman
came out Of the wax man with the blue
eye, and said:
'Phew! It's hot in there? He's q
pretty good player-for an Indian

A Dis0bedient Dogs Fate.

While several gentlemen were max,
ing experiments with dynamite ia a
tarn among the hills at Pembrey, Car
marthenshire, the other day, charge
of dynamite, with fve-minutes' fuse
attached, was thrown into the water,
and the power of the explosive was to
be judged by the volume of water
forced up by the conclusion. While
operations were proceeding sports
man, accompanied By dog appeared
on the scene, and as the dynamite
charge was threwn into the tarn, the
dog instantly sprang into the water,
and seized the parcel, which 1t
brought ashore. The sportsman
shouted to his dog to drop it, but the
animal did not. and ran in the dlrec-
ton Of It's master and those who were
making the experiment. This created
great alarm, and the dog was only
kept at bay by stones being thrown at
him. At length the charge exploded,
and the dog was blown to pieces.

vantage that the most delicate COP

Cloth woven three yards wide is
made so that il can be cut apart
after being woven, making three

cloth for market. The quality of
