POETRY
THE FUNERAL.

wae walking in Savannah, past q
church decayed and dim,
When there slowly through the win
dow came plaintive funeral hymn
And sympathy awakened, and a
wonder quickly grew,
Till 1 found myself environed in lit
lie negro pew.
Out at front colorsd couple sat In
sorrow, nearly wild;
On the altar was the coffin, In the
coffin was child,
I could picture him when living-cur-
ly hair, protruding lip
And had seen perhaps a thousand in
my hurried southern trip.
But no baby ever rested in the sooth-
ing arms Of Death
That had famed more flames OF sor-
row with his little iiuttering breath;
And no funeral ever glistened with
more sympathy profound
Than was in tho chain of tear drops
that enclasped those mourners

The Old Method of Painting the Shelli
With Linseed Oil.

The Old Method of Painting the Shells
With Linseed Oil.
The sure and simple method of keep
ing eggs sound by smearing the shells
with linseed oil has long been practiced.
The oil forms a sort of film over the
shell, thereby preventing the two imme-
date causes of decomposition-the
evaporation from and penetration of air
into the egg. A recent experiment in
point deserves notice. A dozen new
laid eggs were rubbed over with linseed
oil applied with the tip of the finger;
another dozen were coated III the like
name with poppy oil; two more eggs
were left in their natural state. The
whole twenty-six we're then laid close
together in three rows, in dry sand,
upon a shelf, where they were left un-
disturbed. At the end of three months
they were weighed, and again at the
end of six months, when they were
opened. The two eggs left in their
natural state, at the end of three
months, had lost II per cent. of their
weight, and at the end of six months Is
per cent, and were found to be hall
empty and the contents rotten. The eggs
coated with poppy oil in three months
lost 8 per cent, and in six months 4 1-2
per cent. of their weight. The eggs
were still full and devoid of unpleasant
smell. The eggs rubbed over with lin
seed oil in three months lost 2 per cent,
and In six months 3 per cent. only Of
their weight, and when opened were
found to Be full, with the smell Of fresh

FALSE ECONOMY.
Carelessness Displayed in Preparing Farm
Produce for Market.

Carelessness Displayed in Preparing Farm
Produce for Market.
In preparing produce for market, no
greater mistake is made than by using
packages composed of material too poor
for the purpose intended or put to-
gether in a manner which will not
stand the test to which it is bound to
be subjected. This is done as a matter
of economy, but instead of effecting
a saving, it usually results in waste,
loss and general dissatisfaction. A
forcible illustration of this is being now
presented by some of the honey cases
coming forward to this market from
apiaries. The cans of the regular five
gallon size are, in the case referred to
made of such light tin that they weigh
scant two pounds and a half, whereas
they should never weigh less than three
pounds. In order to save freight, these
cans and cases are shipped from this
''shooks," and there put together,
which would be well enough if the right
material was obtained and then prop
erlv joined. Not only is the tin too
light, but the soldering is so badly done
that some cans will not bear removal
from their wooden compartment with
out the top or bottom breaking away. If
broken, more or less waste of contents
is inevitable, and a new receptacle must
be provided. Thus the original can
proves an entire loss, to say nothing of
the honey which is wasted and the extra
labor and annoyance. Where these cans
do not break on first handling, their
weak and imperfect condition is almost
sure to be developed later on. Packages
which are not thorough proof against
breakage in one ordinary handling are
surely not apt to stand being shipped
thousands of miles and transferred sew
eral times, as is necessary with most of
the honey produced in this State. The
most secure cans and cases will prove
cheapest to the producer, as the honey
thus packed will command more than
the difference in cost over an inferior
receptacle. Merchants in the interior
having occasion to handle honey from
first hands will do well to insist on
the cases being sufficiently stout to in
sure their remaining in merchantable
condition, with ordinary care exercised
in handling. There is no produce, ex-
| cept such as must be removed from the
original package within a day or two,
which will justify economy in casing.

ploying what is not apt to stand Gus.

HELEN X
Her BoundIess and Genuine Admiration
for Physical Perfection.

Her Boundless and Genuine Admiration
for Physical Perfection.
No one loved beauty more than she;
no n could depreciate the body more
when it began to lose its freshness. For
strong young men in their prime, for
blooming girls and mature woman
hood, she had an admiration as frank
and almost S unqualified as a Greeks.
But her very alteration of physical love-
illness made her peculiarly sensitive to
imperfection and the dismal accompani-
ments of sickness. In her own case,
when accident brought infirmity upon
her, it was received at first with a shud-
der of disgust, a kind of quick impul-
sive scorn, of which, perhaps, only no.
BILE natures are capable. She spoke of
her illness as "a career of disgrace"
1t was not, probably, for the loss of
creature comforts, 10 even the long
train of Affections which it entailed;
these she could endure; they proved. in
fact, a field for the exercise of a forti-
tude which was little short of heroic.
Health meant liberty, its loss an end
less series of restrictions affecting her
activity and the free play of her intelli-
gence. She resented them as some.
thing outside of herself, which deserved
only contempt and chastising. Her
soul, she thought, could lift itself above
them-was above them. Throughout
her s%ufferings, she kept her sunniness of
spirit, her serenity and elasticity. And
she continued to work, and to think of
work. This, indeed, was an integral
part of her creed. To idlers and diet
tanti she had always turned a cold
shoulder; they had no place in her
scheme of things. If her antipathy as
sumed at times a humorous form, it was
none the less real and deep-seated. 1t
would have gratifed the most rigid
economist to have heard her set forth
this Thesis of life as a period of active
production. She rejoiced to call her.
