TO MY MOTHER.

I've kept naughty heart thro' griuf and mirth, Ana borne my head perchance a thought too
 high;
 IT even king should look me In the eye, I[would not bend 1t humbly to the earth; Yet, dearest mother, such the gentle worth Ot thy benignant presence, angel mild, It ever hath my proudest moods beguiled, And given to softer humber feelings birth Was it thy minds calm, penetrative power, Thy purersmind, that secretly came OCT me And unto heavens clearer light upbore me9 or did remembrance sting me in that hour With thoughts of words and deeds which
 pierced unkndly
 That gentle heart, still loving me so blindly

Origin of a Popular Air.

have received the following:
 What Is the origin of the song Johnny Get Your GunPn
 The song was written in the winter in 6 city. The reason was that in the cold weather there were always certain men who, in board ing street car, wouldn't come inside, and they wouldn't stand on the platform But they would shove back the door and stand in the space, thus not only discommoding passen gers, but allowing the cold wind to sweer into the car, creating neuralgia, toothache pneumonia, and other diseases of interest to the undertaken. The company tried in vain to persuade these gentlemen to quit this. Finally the president said to one of his con- dnctors, whose name is Johnrv:
 Johnny, get your gun"
 The order is going to be enforced this winter, and the song will be more popular than ever.-Chicago Mail.

CARGOES OF CRIMINALS.
How Russian Convicts Are Transported ts
 Siberia-Hot Watser E,unishmnnt

How Russian Convicts Are Transported to siberia-Hot Water Punishment. 1 The Nizhni-Novgorod is an iron steamship
 or about $500 tons burden, and is specially
 ntted as convict transport. With full complement of convicts the vessel carries
 ooa. The officers and;crew number eighty, ex-
 elusive of a marine convoy escort of sixty
 two men specially chosen for this duty. The
 iron barred compartments or cages in which
 the convicts are confined run parallel, fore
 ana ait, on either side the upper and lower
 tween decks. The iron bars, an inch thick,
 or these cages and the woodwork in which
 they are set, is heavily and solidly con-
 structed. The cages are of unequal capacity
 and length, but have a uniform height of seven and half feet. The more desperate
 characters are manacled and chained to iron staples in their berths, from which they are released when necessary. The greater num-
 per, although retaining the waist and ankle shackles, of light construction have the freedom of traversing the length of the com partment, which may vary from twenty five to forty feet. Between the outer bars and the two plain plank shelves or hunks running from end to end of the compartments which afford sleeping room for the occupants, there IS a free space of about four and a half or
 five feet
 Except during the distribution of rations Ho IN Soillaky NeSSelS are lett with the cOnvictS. Even the drinking water is obtained only through an india rubber mouth piece fixed in an lnclosed water tank and through which the drlnker sucks his draught Immediately outside the cages and attached to the under part or the deck over head is 8 steam pipe connected with the ships boilers Into these pipes are fitted screw nozzles at intervals of twelve feet. The object of the steam pipe is to suppress any dangerous outbreak among the inmates of the cage. By means of short Rose, specially made to resist the steam heat, quickly attached to one of the steam pipe nozzles, the turbulent convicts arc readily quieted or parboiled Strong water jets have been found next to useless in allayino these occasional tumults.
 After the ship has passed the canal, but not before, patches of convicts are in turn brought upon deck for a shower bath and snort exercise. A strongly constructed iron ralhng, eight feet high, crosses the vessel | am1dships, in order that the convict, during | his bath and while unmanacled. cannot by any | sudden rush evade the guard and reach the | quarter deck. Some of the more desperate 1 convicts, who stubbornly resist all disciplin- ary control, are confined to the cages during the whole voyage. Both the upper and lower tween decks are open and airy, the system of ventilation being excellent, and the cages themselves are kept scrupulously clean. The cages are repainted every voyage Every convict, In addition to having his hair cropped short, has the left half of the head from front to back closely shaved-London News ~

Where the Trouble Lies.

MT. Wiggins (reading)-At the recent na- tional congress in India all the speeches and proceedings were in English. There were gathered at Madras TOO delegates from all parts of India, Afghanistan, Nepaul and Scinde. They spoke nine different languages, and the English was the only medium through which the proceedings could be sat- lstactorlly conducted. Isn't that retuark- able?
 Mrs. Wiggins-Why, no. It's easy enough to talk English. It's the other languages that bother body.-Philadelph Record

To make an improved whitewash

acid to a gallon OF Whitewash. Also
throw in a piece Of soap as large as :

When cleaning out purslane not q
leaf should be left in the ground. It is
a persistent weed, and can only be de-
stroyed by exposing every part Of the

The use Of q small evaporator will
save many bushels of fruit. On some
farms apples are allowed to fall and re-
main on the ground. A little extra
labor would evaporate them and make
them available for winter use.
The cost of preserving a given crop
as ensilage does not materially differ
from curing the same crop BY drying
IN q suitable season, but crops can be
sliced and preserved in seasons when
they would be lost if drying were at
tempted.

cut the rind into narrow shreds. Boil

Housekeepers used to be reminded
sometimes of the excellent dishes
which may be made from rice. It is
not only excellent served as vegetable,
with cunes or chickens in any form,
but is a foundation of some of the best
cold puddings. Ordinary boiled rice
nodded in cups, served with a bit Of
crimson acid jelly or preserve and a
sauce of boiled custard, is a most
delicious dessert. 3
Orange Ice Cream: Boil the thin
rind OF three oranges in a pint of milk.
When the milk is cold stir into it the
yelks Of four eggs in double sauce
pan and keep on stirring on the fire
till the custard thickens. Take the
juice Of two or three oranges, dissolve
six or eight ounces of powdered loaf
sugar in it, then gradually stir in the
strained custard and freeze. Half a
pint Of clarified sirup may be used in
stead of loaf sugar, and a gill OF
whipped cream stirred in it at the last
will always be an improvement.
