"This year has taught me sad ex-
perience in the watermelon business,

''Have you been shipping?" asked
the tourist from Ohio.
Not a ship. l live over thar on the
Arkansaw bottoms. | heard so much
about the watermelon bizness-the

Come right up as if somebody had

''And the melons grew?"
"Growed like Il mud-hole in wet
weather. That was the trouble-they
growed too large"
Couldn't be handled?"
''Not without the help of two mig
gers and yoke O steers, and that was
TOO expensive. When you get an eight
hundred pound watermelon on side
hill you've got to leave it thar. The
steamboats, won't handle 'em if you
git 'em down TO the landing"
You don't tell me that YOU had mel
ons weighing eight-hundred pounds!"
'Oh! those were the little ones. The
big ones cum higher ton. ] hadn' t
no scales, but all my neighbors are

'And what become of them?''
That's what occasions my grief

logs to prop EN- up, and started for

"Wh-what calamity?" gasped the
tourist.
"Why, them ERE melons broke loose
and rushed down the hill in q body

l might have recovered from that, per-

Cooking With Oil Stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer
on cookery, says:
''When one tells you that there is
no trouble Ill using an oil-stoye, you
may be morally certain that she does
not know what she is talking about.
To be sure, you are saved additional
heat and dust in the summer, when
YOU have so much of both from nature
herself; but, unless you are careful,
you will have 4 smoky atmosphere
and disagreeable odor. You needn't
have either if you choose to manage
properly; the no trouble people will
have it all the time. The way to avoid
it is to keep the burner perfectly clean,
and entirely free from the gummy
burner-deposit which even the best oil
will leave on the polished brass burner.
Every day the burner should be washed
in hot, clean suds, thoroughly dried,
and the wick replaced; the little brass
network about the base of the burner
should be carefully wiped, and kept
free from every particle of dust. The
wick should be cut squarely and evenly
with sharp scissors, and not even a
thread should be left that is higher

down at least half an inch below the
edge of the burner. Ii it is left above.
or even with the top. it will absorb Oil,
and the oil will run over the top,
making it greasy and soiled, and emit
an unpleasant odor. The best quality
Of oil should be used. as after all it is
fully as economical; there is less sedi-
ment in it, it will burn to the last drop,
will not smoke so badly, and does not
leave such a rank odor. The stove
should be filed after using, and when
it is first lighted the blaze should be
watched, because it increases in in
tensity and soon begins to smoke. 1t
can then be regulated and left for
some time, especiallyif you are baking;
if you have water on boiling, as soon
as the water reaches the boiling point
the flame will increase again aud must
be turned down. The reason for this
nobody pretends to explain, but the
fact remains

Bill Nye on Schools of journalism.

So necessary has the profession of
journalism become TO the progress and
education of our country, that the mat
ter of establishing schools where young
men NAV be fitted for an active news
paper-life has attracted much attention
and discussion. 1t has been demon
strated that our colleges do not tit
young man to walk at once into the
active management of paper. He
should at least know the difference be-
tween a vile contemporary and Goth
ic scoop.
1t is difficult to map out proper
course for the student in school of
journalism, there are so many things
connected with the profession which
the editor and his staff should know,
and know hard.
Ii | were to suggest curriculum for
the young men who wished to take a
regular course in a school of journal
ism, preferring that tC the actual ex-
perience, l would say TO him, Devote
the first two years to meditation and
prayer. This will prepare the young
editor for the surprise and consequent
temptation TO profanity which in Il few
years he may experience when he finds
that the name of the Deity in his
double-leaded editorial is spelled with
a little ''g,h and the peroraiion of the
article is locked up between death
notice and the advertisement of pat
ent mustache-c coaxer, which is to fol-

How Royalty Travels.

The carriages which are used by the
Queen when travelling long distances
are comfortable enough to satisfy the
most exacting passenger, and the I'M
perial train of the late Emperor Ma
poleon used to be considered mira
Gle of luxury; but the latter was not
good enough for the late Gar who
purchased it, and it was improved and
altered and refurnished out of recog-
milton before ii was pronounced fit for
use in Russia. The English saloons
sink into utter contempt when COM
pared with it. This train. which is al
ways used By the Emperor and En-
press for long journeys, carried them
to Kremsier and back. There are six
teen carriages, of which the first is a
kitchen, and then came one for police
agents, one for the military suite,
three for members of the household,
and two for the Imperial family, each
Grand Duke having an entirely separ-
ate compartment, which can be fitted
Tor either day or night use. The car
riage OF the Empress has spacious
sleeping compartment with ham
mock bed, furniture of ebony and
QtNhslAS c1 S1INCi sai1NA I'LL
loohing-glass. There is bath room
completely fitted and u compartment
for the lady-in waiting. The Empress
sleeping room contains a writing ta-
bic, sofa and easy chairs. The En-
peror's sleeping-carriage is fitted with
olive green leather and only contains a
bed and dressing table and bath. Then
comes a sitting-room, fitted very SIM
ply, and lastly the dining-room, which
Is furnished with carved oak and
merely contains tables, chairs and a
side-board. There is communication
throughout the train from one end to
the other.-Nr. Tates' World, London.

polished city interviewer. If the de-
tectye instinct III strong in him and his
Dllrd IS inventive and be can be patient
and pay close attention to what may seem

elements which go to make up the sue

valuable services is often forced to arrive
ut conclusions from slender indicators.
and III sending q message from wild

employer more money than a scout conld

to most of the men who follow it, and the
portion of mans career spent scouting
is likely to be better remembered than
what has gone before or may come after.
1t was not an uncommon thing for a field
man during the busy years of 1882 and
1883 to keep his boots on four days ut a
stretch, and find refreshing slumber on
a pile of casing or on the damp eroand

the scouts watched the stars twinkle as

The Interpreters.

Days dawn ON us that make amends for many
Sometimes,
When heaven ana earth seem sweeter even
Mans rhymes.
Light had not all teen quenched in France or
Had Homer sung not or had Hugo held
His peace.
Had Sappho's SELF not left her word thus long
For token,
The sea round Lesbos yet in waves of song
Had spoken.
And yet these days of subtlcr air and finer
Delight,
When loyeer looks the darkness, and divircr
The light.
The gift they give of al these golden hours,
Pours forth reyerberate rays or shadowing
showers
In turn.
Clouds. beams. and winds that make the live
days track
Seem living
What were they did no spirit give them back
Thanksgiving!
In human thought have all things habitation;
Our days
Laugh. lower, and tighten past and find no
That stays.
But thought and faith are mightier things
than time
eau wrong,
Made splendid orce with speech, or made sub
lime
By song.
Remembrance, though the tide of change that
rolls
Wax hoary,
Gives earth and heaven, for songs sake and
the souls,
Their glory.
