Rufus Rood
There's a country remarkably quaint and
queer.
Where the air won't support balloon,
And everythings just as it isn't here
'Tis the land of the man in the moon.
There people don't bother with ''parties" at
all
The crop of great statesmen's exceedingly
small,
Bank officers never flee toward Montreal
In the land of the man in the moon
The ladies all make most delightful wives
In the land of the man in the moon
Rascality's punished, and honor thrives
In the land of the man in the moon.
The milkmen are honest, the liquors ara
pure.
No agents baset you with plans to insure,
Quack doctors don't promise each ailment
to cure
In the land Of tie man in the moon.

Anticipation Versus Realization.

Expectant heir before the will is read)-
Uncle's death was a sad and untimely one.
To think that but a short time ago that
noble old man trod the earth in perfect
health; to-day his voice is forever hushed in
the song of eternity, All, me!
Expectant heir after the viii is read)-
That will can be broken ON the ground OF
insanity. The old fossil was crazy for
twenty years.

The expense of constructing and main
tanning the slide is tremendous A slide
1,OO4 feet in length floored with spruce
boards laid lengthwise, was built from
hillside to the valley below. A cozy little
cottage has been fitted up as the Essex
County Toboggan Club house." The track
is an undulating one, but with descent suf-
ficiently rapid to enable a toboggan, under
favorable conditions, to go over the entire
course in fifteen seconds. A rate of twenty
five miles an hour is considered mere sloth's
progress. The track averages four feet in
width, and is guarded by eighteen-inch side
guides Hanging outward. At the top is a
platform, from which the toboggans, carry
ing from two to half dozen persons each,
are started. The steerer sits in the rear
using one or both feet as rudder

THE PARADISE OF PROGRESS

In old Ammo Domini
Vanished hath the ancient style,)
Men could look upon the sky,
Ifthe earth were wholly vile.
Now-alas the heavy change ~
All our star-gaZing is done;
Terrible machines and strange,
Glide between us and the SUM-
Land laws-once they left us when
Our democracy was new
Gayly they came back again,
Came the sea laws, air laws too
Fined for trespassing on brine"
Every day we note 1t less,
KILLED when bathing at the line
OF submarine express!
In old Ammo Domini,
In the happy days grown dim,
Men could sail upon the seas
At their pleasure-dive or swim.
On the sands the children played;
Now the sand, they tell US, fails
There's tax on every spade,
Stringent rules concerning pals.
IN old Ammo Domini
Men were simple, merry, kind,
Never struggled for the sea.
Never quarreled for the wind.
Earth hath been peaceful place!
Free from folly. free from jars,
Were the simple, early race
That could look upon the stars

Farm Notes.

A writer in the Country Gentleman gives the
following as a good method of keeping cider:
Take cider freshly made and boil and skim as
long as anything comes to the top, but don't boil
more than fifteen minutes; then bottle hot and
cork, but not seal. 1t will keep as long as one
wants it to keep, and is better than when first
made.
Lice usually swarm in myriads during this
month and unless some extra hard work is en-
gagged 10, they will not be easily destroyed In
using whitewash. an excellent mode is to use it
hot and have it of consistency that it will flow
through the rose, from the nozzle of an ordinary
wateringpot First, thoroughly clean out tho
poultry house, put teaspoonful of carbolic acid
to every gallon of whitewash, and then sprinkle
it freely everywhere, even on the ceiling. This
forces it into the cracks, and if the floor becomes
covered with it, so much the better.
OF numerous methods for purifying drinking
water recommended by recognized authorities
the following of Professor Wilber of Rutgers
College, is very simple and worthy of thorough
trial: dissolve half an ounce of pure alum in
cup of boiling water, pouring into a quart
measure. and filling up with cold water. Keep
it in a bottle labeled alum solution An ordi-
nary teaspoonful is the right amount to add TO a
gallon of water No harm would be done if two
or ten, were added; one is sufficient AS differ
emit waters vary, it may be found that less will
