A DINNER AND A Kuss.


~ have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms kettle,
And lifted its shining lid.
"There's not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore of his apron,
And dined In happy mood,
Wondering much at the savor
Hid I'm his humble food;
While all about were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss,
But he never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merily trudged away,
Stopped at the sight OF q squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay;
And thought how many a shadow
OF life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.

How to Select u Cranberry Bog.

A cranberry bog should be in location
well protected from frost, with bottom OF
neat. mud or moss Cranberries will grow
equally well OH either foundation. There
should be sufficient inclination to the bog to
afford fall enough to allow the water to be
drained off to eighteen inches below the sur
face. If there is not brook running through
the bog, there should be spring, or pond,
above it capable Of affording sufficient
supply of water to overflow it readily. If
there is water enough to cover the vines COM
pletely, it is all that is needed. The bog, after
it is three years old, ought to be flowed from
the first of November until the first of June,
Is it is then thoroughly vined, and crop
NAV be expected. There should be suffi-
Gent supply of coarse sand, suitable for
covering it, near the bog
In selecting bog. prefer huckleberry,
maple or cedar swamp, to fresh meadow,
for the reason that it costs less to take care OF
it after it is planted. Less grass and fewer
weeds will grow in a swamp after it is first
cleared than in u meadow. The swamp on
which nothing but wood has grown, has the
best bottom, it is enriched by the decayed
leaves, etc, of years, and no nutriment has
ever been taken from it by other vegetation
No trees should be allowed to grow near
enough to the bog to shade it. Whenever
they do there will be . rank growth of cram
berry vines, and very little fruit Indeed, it
often happens that vines will not produce at
all under such conditions; and yet will
present the handsomest appearance OF any
part Of the bog. Picksrs object to picking

To Grow the Basket Willow.

A good deal of money is made in various
parts of the country, but especially in the
south, on willow farms, that is, farms where
the osier or basket willow is raised. The last
number of The Southern Cultivator gives
the method of culture employed in Georgia,
where willow farming is most successful and
remunerative. Its directions are as follows:
There are two varieties out of many, gen.
erally cultivated in this country, the red
(salix purpurea) and the white (salix vimin-
alis. They will grow on quite damp land,
but we'll drained alluvial soil is said to be
best suited to them. The land is prepared as
for a corn crop-thoroughly broken and
cleansed cuttings from we'll ripened wood OF
last year, about one foot in length, are put
in drills three feet apart, and eighteen inches
in drill The cuttings are put slanting in the
ground, at an angle of about forty-ive de-
grees, and only an inch or two left above
the surface The dirt should be well
pressed against the lower ends of the cut
tings. They should be cultivated as carefully
the first year as any other crop. Cuttings
for baskets are not made until the second
year after planting.

The Tramp and the Bear Trap.

The Tramp and the Hear Trap.
MIR. Eben Il. Rexford tells . good story
about boy, tramp and bear trap, which
he says Is a true one.
He says once a man named Uncle Jos
Sampson had nephew called Willie Dana
Uncle Joe lived in wild part Of the country
where bears sometimes came. Willie went
to visit him. One day Uncle Joe said ne had
seen signs Of bear. -,
"I'll haveto get the old trap down and OIL
It up, and maybe when the corn sripe we can
catch bear or two" he remarked.
He did so, and got the trap ready for use
~ think 1t must bo q pretty hard job to set
the trap, said Willie, Is he looked 1t over. VI
don't see how you go to work to crowd the
spring down." u,,
an show you," answered Uncle Joe. TITS
easy enough when you know how. Bring me
one Of the hand spikes out Of the woodpile."
Willie did so.
Then his uncle put one end Of tho lever in
crack between the logs Of which the house
was built, close to the floor, and placed the
stiff spring under it. BY bearing down on
the lever the spring was shut together, allow
ing the Jaws of the trap to fall open. 1t was
then an easy matter to fasten them open by
turning pice of iron over one OF them and
fitting the end OF it in notch at the size OF
he SPAN" If anything touched this pan, :"
the pressure on it released the iron from the
notch, and the great spring would fly up and
fling the Jaws together like fash, and what
ever happened to be between them when they
closed was sure to stay there until some one
saw fit to liberate It.

ut may surprise you to learn that the
worst men In state prison are by no means
the professional criminals whom the law pur-
sues SO relcntlessly while they have their lib
erty. Your farmer who has shot down his
neighbours live stock In revenge or poisoned
a well or han,strung horse-the tramp who
has fired barn or committed rape-the vii
lsge tough who has chewed some ones ear OF
or used knife-these are the fellows who
want to be considered prison heroes. They
concoct plots and plans in order to be taken
for keen men. They defy keeper to show
how desperate they are. They take Hog
ging to prove that they are clear grit. And
yet when you size 'em up for what they are,
YOU find them ours. II q tunnel were dug
for them they would not have tho nerve to
crawl through to liberty. There Is no shop
without its sucker or giveaway, and some
times there are two or three to shop. These
soon become known to all the men, and are
treated with the contempt such people de-
serve.
"Some of the plans and plots Of prisoners to
escape border on the ludicrous. l remember
one plan where twelve convicts were to
manufacture wooden guns for themselves and
paint them up to resemble real carbines.
They wero to seize upon certain moment
to rush upon n guard, confront him with
twelve cooked carbines, and it was expected
that he would at once fling down his musket
and fall upon his knees in terror. There was
another plan to go out by balloon, and it
was given up only for the want of silk,
cordage, gas and basket During my term
in prison heard of hundreds Of tunnels to be
constructed, but only one of them was ever
put through, and that was known to only
three Or four persons. II every plan cooked
UP each year was to insure the escape Of one
man, no one would be left at the end Of
twelve months.
"There is ono class of men in prison whom
pity. They are sent there through con-
spiracy and chain of circumstances. l
know of cases where wives have sworn dead
against their husbands, got them within the
prison walls and then remarked within three
months. Almost every week divorce papers
are served Oh some convict. He can, through
all attorney, fight the case, but it Is seldom
that he does so. He may have left home
feeling that his wife would be true to him
while he was serving his sentence, and when
the papers come it takes. his heart away. II
statistics could be gathered and preserved
you would find that eight out of ten wives
secure divorces from husbands sent to prison.

them food or using weapon to preserve

Eiuast MArkets In tho World.

The Paris markets are probably the finest
in the world The Hallcs Centrales were
built on the model Of the Crystal Palace ami
though the other markets in the various
quarters of Paris are not so large and so fine,
they are all managed OH the same principle,
and are examples of what can be done when
a people have an inkling that they are real
society, and that the common good is the
truest way of arriving at the individual
good.
In lying awake at night / always found
that the only time out Of the twenty-four
hours in which there was absolute silence in
Paris was about O'Clock in the morning.
Shortly after this hour the market wagons
began to pass on their way to the Halles
Centrales, where they arrive about a. m.
They are there unloadcd by regiment Of
nearly 500 porters, called "les forts de la
Halle" and who are only admitted after their
physical capacity and moral character has
been found satisfactory The greatest care
is taken to prevent bad goods from being
sold The inspectors weigh and test every
pUtd at hutter. The annual consumption Of
eggs in Paris is said to reach the fabulous
number of $4,000, O0O Those brought into
the market are each inspected, and similar
care is exercised over the meat; Whatever
is condemned is covered with quicklime and
buried The butchers shops in Paris are
models Of cleanliness and good order, and
instead Of making difficulties about small
joints you are readily served with any
amount you require. There are many rea-
sons for this great superiority if compared
with the same sort of shops in London-the
markets, the supervision Of the authorities, the
great economy of French housekeeping, and
the practice among Partisan housekeepers Of
doing their own marketing. Words
