We have long been of opinion that
rice straw could be utilized, whereas
at present, it is wasted, if not abso-
lutely destroyed. We have seen it
stated that if properly dried and
stacked, it would be better food for
cattle than either wheat or Oat straw
which are much used in the West
in fact, that it contains double the
nutriment of these two kinds OF straw
Now, that rice harvesting is near al
hand, why should not Il rice plan
ters take steps to preserve their straw
instead of burning it., or allowing it t.
go to waste?

A TAP AT THE. DOOR.
BY LILLE E. BARR.

A hand tapped at my door low down, low
opened 1t and saw two eyes of brown,
Two lips of cherry red,
A little curly head,
bonny, fairy sprite in dress of white,
night"
She climbed upon my knee, and, kneeling
Lisped softly, solemnly, her little prayer;
Her meeting finger tips,
Her pure sweet baby lips,
Carried my soul with hers. half unaware,
Into some clearer and diviner air.
tried to lift again, but all in vain,
OF scientific thought the subtle chain,
So small, so small,
My learning all;
Though l could call each star and tell lts
My chld's "Our Father" brdged the gulf OF
space.
sat with folded hands at rest, at rest
Turning this solemn thought within my
breast;
How faith would fade
If God had made
No children in this world-na baby age
Only the prudent man or thoughtful sage.
Only the woman wise, no little arms
To clasp around our neck; no baby charms,
No loving care,
No sinless prayer,
No thrill of lisplng song no patterlDg feet,
No infant heart against our heart to beat.
Then If a tiny hand, low down,
Tap at thy heart or door; ali do not frown;
Bend low to meet
The little feet,
To clasp the cllngiDg hand; the child will be
Nearer heaven than thee-nearer than thee.

Love in a Dry Goods Store.

One of the most unwelcome Gus
toners in many of the large dry goods
stores is Cupid. This, however, is
only true in the eyes of the employer
when the little god tangles up the
hearts of some of the young women
employed with those of some of the
young men. In all other cases Cupid
is one of the most able allies the retail
dry goods man has in his business. An
old merchant in this particular line of
trade spent some time several evenings
ago explaining to party of friends
why this was SO.
zone of the worst things we have
to contend with in our business, as far
as our unmarried male and female
employees are concerned" he said, sis
love. When young lady, say In the
hosiery department, falls in love with
a nice young man in the dress goods
department, or any other department,
for that matter, there is trouble ahead
for the employers. If the young man
should happen to return the young
lady's affection the trouble is doubled.
How does this make any difference to
us? Well, in nine cases out of ten the
tender passion units its victims for
work in the same dry goods store.
This is especially so in the case of the
young ladies. Once they get in love
with young man at another counter
their mind, instead of being at their
own counters, are continually at the

she did of our business.
otis the same way with the young
men, too. When they get too far
gone there is only one thing left for
US to do, and that is to discharge them
and fill their places. I confess always
regret to take this step, and / never
do it unless in self-detenfe. But when
the trouble reaches a certain stage
there is no alternative. Of course we
go about it in a round about way
and never give the real cause for dis
pensing with their services. We ex-
plain that business is dull, or some
thing of that sort, and never let on
that the little passion they nurse so
tenderly has sacrificed their positions
in the store.

Vagaries of Imagination:

I
The pranks, the capers that imagin-
alton plays with the human race are
innumerable. What alluring visions,
Whist ambitious dreams, and how
transcendent the joys she pictures!
Jones leaves his wife in the morning
feeling vigorous and strong. During
| the afternoon he encounters his friend
Brown.
"What ails you, old fellow?" ex-
claims the latter. you're looking
ill. Overwork, / guess"
AT night Jones goes home with slow,
inert steps and his countenance shad-
owed by would-be-sick expression.
"I'm not well, ," he says, bitterly, to his
wondering wife. "It's overwork. I've
felt it coming on for weeks" Verify,
Brown has startled the susceptible
mind, and Jones soon imagines his
health seriously impaired. But after
his Esculapian adviser has treated
him to course Of tasteless white drops
and suggestive-looking pills jones'
good health returns, and he is satisfied
with Brown, physician and himself.
Truly, imagination and water and
bread pills yield a powerful sway.
Thus often thoughtless word hastily
spoken crowds the imaginative brain
with thousands of fancies. Friends
and lovers are frequently estranged by
an imagined wrong; sensitive people
hurt by an imagined slight; conscious
souls raised to a seventh heaven of
delight by imagined greatness, and
even delicate stomachs turned and
dainty appetites destroyed by the same
prompter. A former Boston lady and
her husband once experienced the lat
ter sensation at q Texas marriage feast,
which occurred in one of the most
remote parts of that state. A few
days before the wedding the BRIDE
elect called the Boston lady, who was
their nearest neighbor, to assist in
making the cakes. Now, an import
ant and most ornamental part of cakes
is that toothsome mixture of eggs,
sugar and flavoring called icing, and
most difficult in inexperienced hands
to put on in artistically smooth style.
With no conveniences the Boston lady
and the bride were in dilemma, when
suddenly the latter rushed out of the
kitchen and in few moments returned
exultantly waving a well-worn, in
dividualized shaving brush, quite stiff
with dried lather of strong yellow
soap.
"There," cried the dumping faced
maiden, playfully. "This will do the
work just too lovely for any thing.
The Boston lady gave a gasp, but
the future bride was soaking the brush
in hot water, and did not see her dis
may. "Being Georges, it will lie so
appropriate, you know" she chatted
in blissful Inconsistencies.
George was the prospective husband,
and his shaving brush was used to
advantage so far as the smoothness of
the icing was concerned. But the
Boston lady and her husband, although |
present at the feast, failed to enjoy |
their supper. Imagination favored |
the edibles with soap and decorated |
them with the shorn hirsute fragments
of the groom's auburn beard. Not SO
to the newly welded. The just made
husband whispered to his bride: "No
one else could have thought of such a
thing but my little tootsy -wootsy.
Let's patent it," and in Imagination
they saw golden dollars swelling their
pocket book-all from tootsy -woot-
sy's patent.
