oNLY SONG.

IL was only a simple ballad,
Sung 10 q careless throng;
There were 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.
She sang of the wOndrous glory
That touches the wood in spring.
VI the strange soul stirring voices
When "the hills break forth aud sing
OF the happy birds low warbling
The requiem of the day,
And the quiet hush of the valleys
In the dusk of the cleaning gray.
Aud one 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 yelled in tears.
Then when the song was ended,
And hnshed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly
And went on her way alone.
Once more to her life of labor
She passed but her heart was strong,
Ind she prayed, God bless the singer!
And oh, thank God for the sougl

CAMBETTA'S BRAIN.

Gambetta's brain was stated by
A. Bloch few months ago to be
of unusually small size, weighing
only 1,160 grains, or 1874 ounces.
At the meeting of the Societe dan
thropologie of March 18th Professor
Duval added, further, some inter-
esting details of its conformation
and structure. In comparison with
brains of subjects who were known
to have been of deficient mental
powers such as possess only a feeble
development of the third frontal
convolution, Gambetta's brain was
found to have an extreme develop
ment of this convolution, and the
assures very numerous and very
complicated. This development
furnishes contirmatory evidence of
Broca's discovery of the localization
of speech in this convolution. In
addition to other peculiarities, the
right quadrilateral lobe was found
to be very complicated, with numer-
Gus assures in its lower part; and
the occipital lobe was extremely re-
duced, especially on the right side.

Developing EARLY.

Mexicans may be slow in many
things, but not slow to love. The
laws of Mexico claim girls at II and
boys at ID years old are eligible to
marriage, and it is not an unusual
sight to ,see woman who looks no
more than 80 years of age a great
grandmother. AS children the Mex
leans are rather pretty, but when a
girl passes 20 years she gets
"mucho-mucho" avoirdupois, and
at 80 years she sports mustache
and "galways" that would cause
young bachelors in the States to
turn green with envy. The men,
on the contrary, are slim and why,
and do not boast of their hirsute
charms, especially when in company
with women, as they have little de-
sire to call attention to the contrast,
and the diamond ring finds other
means to display than stroking and
twisting an imaginary mustache.
Yet this exchange of charms inter-
feres in no way with love making,
and the young man watts sweet
kisses from his finger-tips to the
fair-no, dark-damsel, and enjoys
it as much as if that black, silky
down on her lip were fringing the
gateway to his stomach Core

A HEN WHICH HovERs KITTENS.

A Maltese cat in East Los Angeles
increased the population of the
earth by six kittens on Saturday,
and during the day went off to
mediate by herself in the garden.
Upon returning she found large
and motherly hen lowering the kit
tens, who were peeping out from
under the feathers and crying anxi-
ously for food. The hen refused to
abdicate in favor of the cat, and the
cat, recognizing the superiority of a
biped creature, failed to insist upon
her rights. The result is that the
hen still holds the fort and hovers
the kittens, and the cat mother sup
plies them with nourishment during
the brief moments that the hen is
absent in search of food. Like Poe's
raven, the hen "still is sitting, still
is sitting" while the poor mother
cats eyes are gazing at her both

ON THE WARPATH.

A resident of one of our valleys,
whose name we will not mention,
went to Silver Reef some months
ago and entered the butcher bust
ness. Having been married but a
few months before he went to the
Reef, he had longing to see his
wife, who was living on the ranch
with the family Of his partner, SO
the other day he mounted horse
and started for Spring valley, arriv-
ing there at l O'Clock in the morn
ing. He entered his wife's room,
lit the light, and to his great amaze
ment and horror sitting up in the
bed was the handsome district peda-
gogue, who had been aroused by the
entering of the husband, while nest
ling at his side lay form completely
hidden from view. The staggered
and Mortified husband on beholding
this spectacle, with blood in his
eyes and murder in his heart, drew
his knife out from the back of his
neck, whipped out pistol, and the
pedagogue, beholding these warlike
demonstrations, gave q yell and
crawled under cover. The yell
aroused the other sleeper in the bed
and up popped the yellow head OF
one of Charley Lyttlc's boys, who
went from Eagle to attend the term
of school in Spring district,
1t appears that the mans wife
had left that very day to join hel
husband at the Reef, and had taken
q different road from the one ira
veled by her husband, and the
teacher and scholar were given the
room. The teacher now never re-
tires at night without first trying
the pupils head to the headboard
of the bed, so that he cannot put II
under the cover, and ties the cover
ing down at the foot of the bed sc
that he cannot pull it up over his
head, and on. a person entering the

Theater, Birminghom. On the last
night Of her engagement she noticed
a mans face againt the glass of little

connecting the back premises with the
roof of the theater, and that he had ia
this way obtained access to the win
dow. Mrs. Langtry's maid, who was
with her in the dressing room. de-

A New Creamery Systena

At a Farmers Institute recently
held at Fort Atkinson, Wis, cora-
paratively new method of operating a
creamery was described by Mr.. Ct. FL.
White. In the course of his remarks
ne spoke of the difficulties incident to
tie cream and milk gathering systems
of conducting factories, and particu-
larIy of the care that justice to
milk producers involves. The latter
have various breeds of COWS, and feed
and care for them differently. In his
case, the farmers follow their own
taste and judgment In the matter of
breeds and of Dreaming the milk, and
each delivers his own cream at the
factory once in two days in warrn
weather and once in three days in
late fall and winter. Each patrons
cream is churned by itself, and the
pounds Of butter it actually makes is
credited to the patron. The weighing
is done after the butter has been sailed
and has been rolled only enough to
express the brine that readily runs off.
When found to be all right, the but
ter of each man, so far as it will fill
the different sized tubs Or butter boxes
used, is again worked aud packed by
itself, and receives the factory brand.
The little remainders are worked to-
gether, SO as to FIJI other boxes. II
there is any defect In any batch it is
kept separated and sold without the
brand, and the net receipts credited to
the patron that furnished the cream.
So each man gets what he would make
for himself on his own farna. The
advantages are the uniform excellence
Of the manufactory part, the relief to
the household of the farmer, price
much above that the average farmer
can obtain, and the retention Of the
skinned nailk on the farm in the best
condition for feeding. The method
has thus far given great satisfaction,
and may be one of the blades to cat
the G0rdian knot in the butter max
ing districts. In answer to questions
Mr.. White explained that there was
much difference ia the yield of butter
from the same number of pounds of
cream. This he credited partly to the
season and weather, but more largely
to the difference in Dreaming methods
on the farm, some having good facili-
ties, some poor, some having ice, 9th
erS none.

FARM NOTES.

Italy has over 5000, 900 acres of
commercial forests, over 1000, 900 pri-
vate forests, and over 500, coo acres OF
state forests.
Never plant black raspberry roots
from an old, worn out plantation. Ii
the old plant is thrifty and healthy
age makes no difference.
The only remedy for rust on black
berries is to dig and burn all affected
plants atoace, and TO remove the same
from some young plantation not af-
fected.
Although we have had hundreds of
methods recommended for separating
the cream and churning there is still
room for discussion and improve
ment.
The watering troNghs are liable to
get full of filth and rubbish. and will
need attention every day. The water
for horses should be as pure as can be
secured.
It costs Just ss much to make poor
BUTTER as to make q good article
hence little care and patience during
the process will give better results
with increased profit.
It is much easier to keep an animal
fat than to fatten it; hence the stock
should always be kept In good condi-
ton, as they can be then more readily
prepared for market.
The whitish scruf on the shanks of
fowls is skin affection known to
poultrymen as ''scaly leg" 1t de-
ponds On extremely minute parasites,
and increases as they multiply.
A handful OF linseed meal fed TO
each cor or horse al least three times
week will not only regulate the bow
els and promote health but also loos-
en- the skin and prevent hide bound.
Winter wheat does better on a
strong freshly ploWed sod. The soil
don't pack SO hard and the 500 allows
more drainage, so that the water can
not rot and destroy the roots OF the
wheat.
Pregnant ewes require regular ex-
ercise and access to lot where they
may pick a few bits OF grass. This
will give them an appetite and keep
them healthy and free from constipa-
ton.
Cream rises almost wholly when the
milk is cooling. says the Dairy Farmer,
and If the milk is warmed up to 100
the cream will nearly all rise while
the milk is gradually cooling down to
So.
The Seuthdown sheep are some
what small, but have great paopor-
ton of meat to offer. They are brown
and gray-faced, no horns, thick, close
wool between the ears, with fins form
and are very hardy.
Hogs give returns SO quickly that
even If a small profit is made on each
lot, these profits can be made so often
and SC quickly that the rearing and
