YOUR HANDSOME EYES.

Your handsome eyes and fair, round faca
Half-open lips and the roguish smile
That lies at the corners and turks awhile,
Then leaps with fash from its hiding place
Over the cheek, as il over stils
That separates two fair fields a-pace,
Then under the eyelids leaves its traca
These are meant for the sports of girls,
To whet and sharpen their wiles upon;
And, when they weary, and youth Is
gone,
And they faunt away with their golden
curls,
And you to the forum, worn and wan,
Mount and preach, till the sick brain whirls,
OF the wicked ways Of those beautiful girls
Then they are meant for that sadder time
That comes when youth is dead to the
sweet,
And tramples it under its harsh, hard
feet,
And the man gfrds up his loins to climb,
Through envious brambles, alone, amid
sleet
And the wind and rain and the cool gray
rhine,
For what he deems are the heights sublime

WHERE FARMING DoEsN-; PAY.

A Curious and Alarming State OF Things
Across the Ocean.
It seems now to be settled that under ex-
isting conditions it does not pay to grow
grain or raise cattle in the best part Of the
continent and the British isles For this
curious and alarming state OF things the
world is indebted to the extension of steam
navigation to all parts of the earth. Wheat,
barley, oats, etc can be grown on almost
any arabic land 1t follows that wherever
the factors are most favorable that region
gets the benefit Of this cheap access to the
contributed but 81, 600 bushels Of wheat to
countries outside OF the Peninsula Its OK
port supply is now about $1,000, 900 of
bushels, and with the extension of the rail-
way system it will have fully loo, COZ, O0e for
outside consumption.
The secret of India's ability to sell in dis
tant markets is the extraordinary cheap
ness of labor, which does not command
more than 10 cents q day of our money.
The United States, Australia, and New
Zealand can produce wheat and lay it down
in Liverpool at a price which is simply
ruinous to the English and European
wheat-grower. This is because Of cheaper
and more fertile lands and the use
of machinery on the broad prairies
and plains, which dispenses with costly Ia
oor. Recent statistics show that tenant
farmers in the British islands who confine
themselves to cereals and cattle-raising can
not make both ends meet IL they undertake
to pay their rent This accounts for the
distress among the agricultural classes in
the Old World, and more especially for the
abject misery of the Irish people, who have
no diversified industries, because the island
is without coal or iron, and British laws
discourage manufactures Of any kind in
that unhappy country.
This inability to raise grain is effecting
social revolution. 1t has struck a fatal blow
at the authority and prestige Of the peers,
who are the great land owners, and it will
end in agricultural land being transferred
to the peasants, in England and Scotland,
as well as Ireland These agricultural
workers, having no rents to pay, will be
te able to make living out of the soil, for
they can raise perishabIe vegetable, poultry,
eggs and dairy products, as these are safe
from foreign competition. In the mean
time the cities of Europe are growing rap
idly and are yearly consuming more and
more, not only of the grain and cattle raised
in distant regions, but also of the vegeta-
bles, poultry, fruit and dairy products of
nearby production. This explanation Of
the agricultural situation throws a good
deal Of light upon the political and social
changes now taking place in the Old World

The Importance of Local History.

HGath' says in one of his letters: Local
tory Of the United States Any old trim
mer can generalize on large facts, but the
industry aEa consciousness which animate
the local historian bring out the really i'm
portant things of the past" | recalled this
sentiment when a gentleman from an in
terror town told me a few days ago that he
was arranging to organize a local historian
society in his place
Said he: "There are a great many his
torical facts connected with my town and
county that are well worth preserving. We
mean to gather these up, make a permanent
record Of them and keep them from being
forgotten. 1 have always myself been in
terested in work and associations of this
kind, and there are several other people in
the place who have similar tastes Besides
doing a good work for the community in
which we live, we expect to find q large
amount Of pleasure in hunting up these his
torical facts, discussing their value, authen
ITCHY, ETC., and putting them in shape for
permanent preservation" This is a line of
work which could be taken up with pleasure
and profit in every town in this country.
1t may not seem to be very large or impor-
tant work at first thought, but as Gath well
says, it is this local history that Is true and
genuine because those who gather up the
facts are right on the ground, and, having
. narrow field, can CLEAN it thoroughly

The Work Tint Negroes Love.

The negro loves to pillow and split rails.
He is perfectly happy when following a
mule ON hot summer day, and happier
still when the horn blows for dinner and he
can ride home sideways. The mule is
happy, too, and answers the horn with n
cheerful bray. 1t is astonishing how much
sense an old farm mule has got. | knew
one that when it was most dinner time kept
one ear back towards the house when he
was blowing the other way and kept both
forward when he was coming back. One
day blowed the horn about IL o'clock to
see what Beck would do. She was at the
end of the row. and ii took the darkey ten
minutes TO make her turn round and go to
blowing again. But it is fun to see the
darkies when n summer rain comes up
They will pillow ON until the shower comes,
and then mount and lope home and get wet
all over, and by that time the rain is over
and they have to go back again. The darkey
takes more care of his head than his feet
He don't want his head to get wet or cold
He sleeps with his head to the fire and
covers ii up good and lets his feet stick out
any way. He will warm his hands before
he will his toes There is one thing that a
larkey can do better than white man. He
can beat us making fires in n cold wintery
morning. Sometimes when the wood was
wet and the kindling poor | have worked
over fire good while and almost despair
ed Of making it burn, but darkey never
tails. The fire seems to recognize him, and

HABITS OF HORSES.
How Some Annoying Prnctiscs nny
be stopped.

The habit of biting is caused by teazing
the horse and often by tho rubbing such
horses rs trotters receive Their skin gets
tender and they snap at the cloth. In Cali
fornia there is horse that is great bitter,
and they use an electric bit with him. When
he attempts to bite any one n button is
pressed which charges the bit and so gives
his mouth shock. ! would just like to

But in doing so am spelling the trade of a
number of men who charge IS n lesson for
what | do. They are they who say use
cruelty, and it is simply jealousy on their
part that prompts them to say 80. Again it
has been said that cannot teach strange
horse tricks in certain time. will teach
horse to nod yes or no, TO see-saw ON a
plank, pick up a pocket handkerchief, go
nme, come to me from fifty feet, stop Mt
the word, get up ON pedestal, and stop
and start by whip, without speaking, in fif-
zen hours.
Here are one or two little points that
are good to all interested in the horse. To
stop n horse paving in his stall and so an
noyng you in the night, take piece of
trace chain about seven inches long, tie to
one end block of wood about two inches
in diameter and six inches long, strap the
other end of this chain to the front of the
leg Just above the knee. When the horse
paws, the block will rub his skin and he
will soon stop. To stop horse kicking in
his stable, take piece of elastic and sew a
button on 1t, buckle this not too tight above
the knee joint over the leader on the hind
leg. When the horse draws up his leg to
kick this will cause an unpleasant pressure
on the leader and he will stop. This will
tell you how to purchase horse. If n horse
has large neck, ears hairy inside, small
fiat eyes sunk into his head, small thick
nostrils, and if he is narrow between the
ears and between the eyes and very broad
from the eyes to the jowl he is II horse of
no sense and can be taught nothing. On
the contrary, when horse has small, thin
pointed ears, furry inside, large round full
eyes, standing out well from the head, large,
thin nostrils, and is broad between his eyes
and between his ears and narrow from his
eyes to his jowl, such horse has intelli-
gence, will learn quickly and remember
well. Professor Gleason.

The amount OF money spent in hotels in
New York must be enormous. / was chat
ting with a we'll posted hotel man last night
who was telling me about the prices paid by
some of the guests. g The Hoffman House.
said he, 6 has a guest who pays $ll5 a
week for his rooms, or over SIG o day,
Admiral Maxse, of the English Navy. His
service and meals are extra and must bring
his bills well up to 5000 week for himself
alone. John W. Mackay Pays 300 week
for rooms at the Hoffman. When James
McHenry the London railroad man, was
Ohio business, he paid $50 day for suite
of rooms with private service and table at
the Victoria Hotel. 1t was the same suite
of rooms that President Cleveland occupied
when he held his famous Victoria Hotel
conference, to get acquainted with the
prominent Democrats of the country. There
is Mr.. Dean at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
whose bills are about $50 day. He Is o
retired Californian and has family and
several servants He has been there all
winter. The Windsor frequently has guests
who require service amounting to $50 or
$50 day. Madame Barrios, the widow of
the Central American warrior, was one of
the heaviest paying guests New York hotel
has ever known. She stopped at the Lang
ham where her numerous family and large
retinue of servants brought her daily OK
penses up to at least $500.
