OF MANY MOODS,


=, D, my ueaT, 40 not try 10 uISSuadO ne, ~
is all that | can do
at is not Oh, my dearest Nelly, it is not
| the good, pure life you think ii to be. The
convent is but petty world with all the lit
tie jealouses and trials that we have here.
Take my advice, pray you, and do not go"
But when had sne-thls willtul, willtul
giTl-eveT taken any ones advice? She
only shakes her head.
And about this house." she continues,
''Of course am obliged to sell it; 1 could
not possibly keep it. l have had very good
offer for it, but must leave very sOon."
where will you gO?''
II am going home first Just to see the old
house once more, just to see Denies grave.
1t may be extrayagant, but l must-l can
not help IT,"
Tomorrow has come and gone, these short
autumn days fly so. Eleanor has hidden
farewell to her home, she has wandered
through the sOft-carpeted parlOrs and long
saloons, she has said goodbye to her costly
pictures, to her grand piano, which after all
never sounded so Sweetly as the little cracked
one at the parsonage, but she tells them all
goodbye. She has not kept thing, not
one for what will she wish with them? In
the quiet home she has decided upon she
will not want any trace OF the old life to
hang about her.
And now she is all ready to leave the city;
most ended and she thinks she will go out
for the last time. so she gets ready; 1t Is al
ways dark, but what of that? Who will no
tice her-a woman in a black dress, a wO-
man with sad face and sadder heart?
So she goes out through the busy streets,
past the handsome houses, and farther on.
She will never be here again; she would
like to see them all. And presently she
comes upon little church, and there is mu-
sic. She opens the door and goes in; the
service is almost over, but she sinks down
upon the hard bench and listens.
or old she had not been fond Of church.
She did not used to go, but now, now all is
different. And the old man before her, with
hair as silver as ever Denies had been, he
looks like DOME; she loves him for it.
Then in those old days she had such a
bright, fair life before her. She had never
known any sOrrOw-nineteen happy years
of joy But now she has but one thought
one desire-tO be with DOME and that other,
whose name she will Vt whisper even to
her heart. And If she can not be with them
here, why then let her strive and fight to
meet them somewhere in that vast eternity,
the borders of which she has touched but
not entered.
They have lighted the candles in the
church; they form a sort Of halo about the
grey-haired minister as he reads, 'come I'M
to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and will give you rest" Is not she weary
and heavy laden? Is not rest, rest the cry of
her tired heart? The service is over, the
kneelS there alone, and the old man with the
face like DOME goes home all unconscious of
her presence.
And presently she rises and makes her
way home, and in her ears those faT-Otf bells
keep ringing, ringing.

High License in Saydnnah.

From the N. o. TImes-Democrat
High license has been success In Sa-
vannah. The council of that city in
creased the liquor license from Sis to
$500, a great mistake, many people
thought, as 1t would SO reduce the num-
Der Of saloons as to cause great def
cheney in the oity's revenues, and, at the
same time, have the effect Of increasing
the number Illicit dealers. The expert
ence Of year has proved the wisdom of
the council and has benefited Savannah
In every way. The number of liquor
licenses has fallen off, 1t is true, some so
odd, but only the worst and vilest
saloons have disappeared. The city's
revenues from the sale of liquors have
increased from S3l,ll2 to $4,000, or
more than double; and in consequence
of the closing of the low groggeries
there has been a marked decrease in
drunkenness and crime. Altogether,
Savannah has found high license a great
benefit to all its interests.

OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mrs. Mary ID. WEIGH, Teacher of Domestic
Economy at State University of Iowa.

my deliberate Judgment is that the oven
of the Range, as compared with others
is not only more equally heated in every
part-front as well as rear-but as a result
Of its superior ventilation the food placed
therein is better cooked, while retaining
sweeter flavor, and q larger proportion OF
its best juices. have found, also, that the
consumption OF fuel in this Range for given
amount OF work, is much lessthan any other"

rhe Management of Hu.hanas.

Aunt Harriet in Cleveland Plaindeal-
er: came in to tell how many women
lose their husbands because they think
they are lovers no longer. / have been
watching a few young couples lately,
aud really / sometimes feel like shak-
ing one dear little woman | know.
When her Arthur used to court her she
looked so neat and pretty (and l think
II was the neatness in her dress that
captivated HIND. but now she is his
wife she j. oftener found with an I'M
tidy dress or her hair in a very disor-
dcred state. She claimed that she
was never fixed up around the house
but She made herself neat for him. as
he ALWAYS liked TO see her so. i am
very much afraid that his love will cool
down unless she keeps up for him now
and always for he Is very neat man.
| think a woman should make herself
look as well as she possibly can with
out wasting time or money doing it.
Above all things she should read the
papers and keep up with the times. so
as 10 be able to talk intelligently with
her husband on the topics of the hour.
| heard charming-looking lady say
once that she really thought her hus-
band didn't love her any more. a. he
did not careSs her as he did at first.
Now | came TO the conclusion after
watching them few times that il was
her fault in a great measure. She was
irritable when things did not suit her,
and every detail of the day was
such mountain to her. and she en-
larged it when repeating it to him. He
soon got tired of hearing this. and
when he did offer to be affectionate she
repulsed him, and insisted on finishing
her grievances. and by that time he
was annoyed too much for any demon
STATIONS of affection. Do you blame
him or her?

While oats, or wheat straw, is deficient in the
albuminoids, hence not good feed for growing
animals, and always a ~asteful feed if fed alone,
IL fed with oilmeal the ration will give profita-
BILE results and the carbohydrates of the straw
are put to good use in keeping up the animal
heat in cold weather Properly fed, straw has
sufficient feeding value to pay thrice for the
cost of saving il; yet it is safe to say that one
half the straw produced IN this country il vast
ed outright. Even the manure formed from It
is lost.
Straw may be SO stacked that it will keep in
good condition until il is fed out during the win
ter. 1t is the common opinion that the straw
stack furnishes the hardest positions about the
thresher; hence, the men usually take the other
positions, leaving the straw stack TO be misman-
aged by the boys. II you wish the straw prop
erly stacked, you must see first of all, that cap
able men are put upon the stack, and you must
insist upon their dong their work well. A very
common fault is TO start the stack too wide. 1t
will always spread ITSELF and becomes so wide
that it must be drawn in abruptly and the water
sinks into it. Another fault is, not TO keep the
center highest and trampled solid. Let one man
be delegated to lay the outside, and each OF the
other men to stack and trample down certain
section OF the interior and not to stand in hole
and throw the straw idly about him. Ii requires
close supervision and good work to make a stack.
And when il is made, do not allow the top TO be
blown off for lack Of few keepers or the
cattle to waste half of it-being allowed to run
to the stack Put fence close around the stack,
and build racks or managers close to the fence.
Then, during the winter, cut down the stack
with knife, and fill the hangers. Put the Chaff
in a pen and roof it, or else have it evenly dis
tributed through the stack. Do not allow it to
accumulate in mass around and under the straw
carriers, TO spoil. The above is ritten for the
benefit Of those who have not NOW room or bar
racks for the straw.

THE WEST.

o no for the West, the boundless West,
Where pastures and creeds are broad,
Where the breeze is a tonic that thrills the
breast,
Blown straight from the hills of God
The East is a land of dead mems bones,
Laid tier on moldering tier;
And the damp malarial wind that means
Is the breath of those dead men near.
And its slow, pale people seem merely
wraiths
That have strayed away from the tomb,
Clutching their cold ancestral faiths
And wrapped in the garments of gloom
Aud the mountains rise up and restrict the
sight,
As its creeds restrict the soul;
But away end over the frOwning hight
Those billowy pastures roll.
And there the people are flesh and blood,
Sinew, and muscle, and brain;
Ard the strong life-tIde is a crimson Hood
Thrilling through nerve and vein.
They ride for miles DER meadows of green,
They follow the trail of the kline,
And scarcely tomb By the way is seen,
And the air they drink is like wine.
Brown of feature and bold of heart,
They ride in the face of the blast;
And Nature is dearer to them than Art,
And the Present is more than the Past.
They do not sit down by the tombs of the
dead
They live ia the world of today:
For the Present is here, and the Past has
fled,
Aud the Future is on the way.
Then no for the West land, fair aud broad,
The land where thought is free
Where people live close to Natures God (!
o, that is the land for mel
