THE GOD OF LOVE.

When Love came first to earth, the Spring
Spread rose-buds to receive him,
And back he vowed his flight he'd wing
To heaven, if she should leave him.
But Spring, departing, saw his faith
Pledged to the next newcomer
He revell'd in the warmer breath
And richer bowers of Summer.
Then sportive Autumn claim'd by rights
An archer for her lover;
And even in Winters dark, cold nights,
A charm he could discover
Her routs and balls, and fireside JOY,
For this time were his reasons
In short, young Loves gallant boy
That likes all times and seasons
Straw ribbon is novelty in the millinery
line, and trims some of the charming Tuscan
braids very charmlngly.
Real bamboo sticks are seen in bonnet
ornaments, also wanghee roots. They are
set in silver and gilt and come in various
designs.

A NOBLE FOWL.

Concise and Instructive History Of this
Boardlng-House Turkey.
The origin of the noble fowl of which
I write is shrouded in mystery; l look
through my tears on the misty veil Of
the past and endeavor to trace back
the history of the unfortunate bird, but
in vain; history does not run back far
enough.
One Of the boarders who e%ndeavored
to eat it, and who is now confined in a
private mad-house, stated in one of his
lucid intervals that it was the first one
turned out by the mandatory.
Burdened by its years, and rejecting
upon the grim part when it suffered
with Noah upon Ararat, the turkey
seemed to welcome death, and it was
disposed of as rapidly as possible. The
Ratchet with which it was killed has
lost its edge.
When it had been stuffed with what.
ever fragments of leather betting and
tarred rope the landlady could find,
and had been baked to a delicate brown,
it was placed upon the table. I under.

The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they get there all the same.
After the first furious assault, I OBJ.

and disconnected, as they wiped the
gravy out of their eyes and hair, and l
commenced to look for the turkey,
which had glanced from under the
tnife.
After a long and arduous search, l

yard, with pieces Of glass and sash
clinging to 1t, where it sailed through

'arried the fowl back with a stony
lare in my eyes, and a resolve in my

But why prolong this hideous sceneP
Why add horror upon horrors headp
The binding tears come to my eyes as

THE AIR.
The Eject of Il Pntrid Carcass upon the

The Eject Of Il Pntrid Carcass upon the
Atmosphere.
An exchange has the following para
graph: "a putrid carcass polluting
the air of a pasture will spoil not only
the milk of cows running there, but
also the entire contents of the vat into
which the tainted milk is poured at the
factory" Experience demonstrated
the fact that milk possesses a peculiar
strong absorptive power. and all dairy
men know the necessity of absolute
cleanliness in order to secure excel.
lence in milk or its products. Disre-
garding any effect upon the milk Of
COWS, no carcass should be allowed to
lie exposed above ground, because of
the communicating influence which it
exerts upon tho atmosphere. Nor is
that the only reason; every carcass con-
tains elements of fertility that should
not be allowed to 20 to waste. The
system of a farmer of u acquaintance
is well worthy of imitation. Not a
great ways away from his barn u large
hole had been formed by the removal
of a large rock, and into this he casts
the carcasses Of all dead animals, such
as woodchucks, skunks or animals
destroyed upon the farm, or any do
mcstic animals that might die of dis.
ease or be accidentally killed, covering
them with soil that was kept at hand;
here the process Of putrefacton and
absorption goes on. and a valuable
fertilizer is the result. This Is carted
of for use and the bones found III any
in shoveling the mass over are picked
out and reduced by boiling in a large
kettle with crude potash, which breaks
down the bones 30 that the mass can be
pulverized and dried like phosphate
and makes a valuable fertilizer. How
much better than to let the animals
throw out their stencil upon the air.

How Q Skilled Cook May Make Them
Available In Many Ways.
Why not make a meal OF c~hestnutsF
There have been feasts known where
the whole bill of fare was composed Of
the same Wand differently prepared.
Unlike the walnut, the c%hestnutlends
itself readily to the treatment Of a
skilled cook, and may be made avail
able in many different ways for refined
tastes.
To begin with, then, few soups are
more palatable than chestnut soup,
served with frittered peas, and,
although this can scarcely be looked
upon as a novelty, how seldom do we
meet with itP
Again, with regard to the fish course.
for those who usually partakc Of pota-
toes with it, would it not be pleasant to
find a dish of plainly boiled chestnuts,
shelled and saltedp
No one, of course, is ignorant Of that
noble dish-turkey stuffed with chest.
nuts. For cooking and serving a dish
like this, the highest culinary authori-
ties should be consulted, and their di.
rections followed to the letter.
Puree of chestnuts may well take
the place of potatoes. For an entree
chestnuts and mushrooms would be an
acceptable and pleasing variety, and
would afford opportunity for the exer-
else of some experimental ingenuity.
The same may be said of veal and
chestnut patties, with a due seasoning
of herbs. For the "sweet course" in a
feast of chestnuts we have to fall back
upon chestnut cream, while stewed
chestnuts, with caramel of a bright
brown color, makes a pretty contrast.
In our humble Judgment the only
process Of roasting chestnuts is to do so
on a broad. perforated pan or shovel
on the top of Il clear coal or coke fire
just, indeed, as they are cooked in the
streets, and where, If We try them, we
generally admit they are better than
anywhere else; better, we maintain,
simply because they are really roasted
and not boiled previously, for the nuts
themselves are not generally of SO ex-
cellent a quality as those we find on
our own tables. TO roast them thor
oughly through, and not to scorch and
blacken the outer portion, it is neces-
saryto pay them great attention, con-
stantly turning them with the fingers
or tongs, and this, of course, takes
time. As a rule a chestnut a not be
too large, and when the season is a
prolific one these are not difficult to
meet with, while very few are ALSO
lutely bad.-N Y. Herald.

ONLY A SONG.
1t was only q simple ballad.

1t was only a simple ballad,
Sung to a careless throng;
There was none that Knew the singer.
And few that needed the song:
Yet the singers voice was tender
And sweet as with love untold;
surely those hearts were hardened
That it left so proud and cold.
Che sang of the wondrous glory
That touches the woods in spring,
Or the strange soul-stirring voices
When THE hills break forth and sing"
or the happy birds low warblIng
The requiem OF the day,
And the quiet hush of the valleys
In the dusk Of the cleaning gray.
And n in a distant corner.
A woman worn with strife,
Heard in that song a message
From the SPRING time of her life;
Fair forms rose up before her,
From the mist of vanished years;
She sat in a happy blindness,
Her eyes were veilcd In tears.
Then when the song was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly,
Aud went on her way alone.
Once more &c her life of labor
She passed; but her heart was strong;
And she prayed: God bless the singeri
And oh, thank Sod for the song!"

TRAINING COLTS,
Trotting a Wonderful Means Of Forcing
Colt Devc lopment.

Trottins a Wonderful Means of Forcing
Colt Devc lopment.
The question has been brought up
whether there is any valid objection to
the method of colt development adopt
ed in Kentucky, leading by the side Of
a running horse. The colt carries no
artificial weight. His only incumbrance
is the simple riding bride. He has all
the needed stimulus to his ambition in
the competitive running horse, and the
inspiring voice of the trainer, without
any impeachment except the occasional
check upon the bit from the hand of
the trainer. 1t has been urged by vet
eran horsemen, that the tendency is tc
draw the head and neck of the trotting
youngster out of line, towards the run
ming horse. This is obvious when they
are going a moderate pace, but it is
largely obviated by training the colt to
keep n step in advance of the run
ming horse, so that the trainer, upon
the saddle horse, literally drives the
trotting colt with the bride reins.
When in full motion, the trotting horse
carries his head and neck and body as
straight as he would in harness.
The only serious objection could re-
suit from forcing so much speed at
such tender ages, before the muscles
are seasoned, and the bone structure is
hardened. 1t is certainly more strain
than the colt endures in his freedom,
from colthood to horsehood. But the
question whether. this increase of exer-
ton is not compensated for by increase
of Strengthening food, and grooming,
and all the developing tendencies Of
handling, is n that can only be an
swered by carefully noting the careers
OF these forced youngsters throughout
their maturity. One thing is certain.
This system of colt development is SUI
perior to the miniature track method.
In the latter the colt is turned loose
upon a circular or oval track, not over
one-quarter Of a mile in length, and
forced to trot by the aid Of the biting
rigging. and frequently toe-weights,
over the short stretches and around
the constantly recurring short
Turns, Under the former mode
Of development, he can be practiced
either upon a straight road or full mile
course. Moreover, he is under more
restraint, as the rider of the running
mate can instantly check his propensity
to break. In addition to these advan-
tages, he becomes accustomed to the
company of the running horse and tho
constant restraint Of the trainer. But
either method is q wonderful means OF
forcing colt development. California
has brought out prodigies through the
miniature-track process, such as Kinda
Rose and Bonita, and Kentucky has
produced equal performers, such as
Patron and Silverone.
However much horsemen may differ
as to the physiological results Of these
systems of early forcing, the effect upon
the temperament is absolutely astound-
