He Was Forgiven

A most amusing incident was told
last week by lady of Marlboro street.
Her little brother had deeply offended
his twin sister, aged 4 years, and the
elder sister thought she would bring
about Il reconciliation. So she said to
the young brother: Harry, do you
know that you have made sister Mary
very unhappy"
Yes, 1 dOn'
Are you sorry you offended herr"
Yes
''Well, if you go to her and tell her
you ARE sorry and ask her to forgive
you, l think both of you will feel much
happier. VIII you do it?''
Eyes, I, WILL was the reply.
Soon after she saw Mary and asked:
t'Did Harry tell you that he was sorry
he offended you.
YES" answered the little midget,
Strengthening herself.
did he ask you to forgive him?'
yes" drawing herself up stillmore
well, did you tell him you would %
Eyes, did, same time my stomach

the emphatic reply.-BoSto'a Courier.

The Girls.

A poet reclined in his easy chair
And he racked his brain for s sveet-ined
song,
and bare
CT the exquisite fancies that once did throng.
So he leaned his head on his hand and prayed:
..Oh, Muse, that holdest the fair sOng-pearls,
Bestow on thy servant some light to aid
In gracing my fugitive theme, The Girls .
Then rhythmicaI pinions are heard in air;
\ scarce-felt breath on the bard's cheek
fails:
And he catches these siIvery accents rare
As softly but clearly MESA &c II calls:
Not once. oh singer. have ] been slow
To inspire the hand that thy swift pen
twirlS,
But never before have you taxed me so
As now, when you ask me to sing Of the
girls
II know they are fair and sweet their smile,
As they graciOusly beam on the sons of men;
But their grace may fade into laughing guile
And the victim may find he is sold again.
For men do not know that fairy Ist
Has dimmed their brain as their hope IN
furls,
And is woe to the man who has put his trust
In the joyous but Mountaineering race OF
girls.

In the argentine Republic.

The same craving to obtain and live
upon the new land to grow up with
the country which has filled the
United States with the surplus popula-
ton of the old world. has turned many
| thousands of Europeans to the Argen-
tine Republic, in South America, where
the conditions of life and climate APP
prOach more nearly than in any other
South American country to those OF
| Europe. But it is not alone the new
land that attracts; it is the new world.
France possesses, in Algeria and TUnis,
a vast unoccupied domain, share of
which it offers on most favorable terms
to colonists from France, but where it
finds very hard work in getting them
| to settle.
| In the meantime, French emigrants
| continue to pour in large numbers into
the Argentine Republic, where they
find almost all the advantages of life
in northern Africa, and where they cut
! themselves off from the rule Of their
sincerely loved fatherland.
1t was surely the fascination of a
''new world'' which drew, in twenty
! years, from 1866 to 1666, 100, 900 French
| people to La Plata. During that
period the Italians had come in very
much greater numbers than the French,
making the Argentine Republic, in
| deed. almost new Italy.
As the entire population of the coun-
try is rather less than four millions,
the 81, 900 Italians now in the country
make more impression than do any OF
the immigrant races in the United
States.
There are. besides, in this republic
many English, Russians, Ausrians,
Germans, Dutch, Portuguese, and even
quite 4 number of Greeks and some
Turks. AS the native population was
already made up of q mixture OF
Spanish, Indians, negroes, and the de-
scendants Of the Canary islanders, it
is evident that the Argentine popula-
ton, with its ceaseless importing OF
| Europeans, is sure to be one Of the
most mixed in the world.
Compared with the United States
| there is not much to attract emi9rati on
to the Argentine Republic The great
er part of the country is like our arid
central plain. It's western states are
| separated from each other by actual
deserts. The land is subject to terri
bic droughts and destructive storms.
The destruction Of animal life by the
Argentine droughts is one of the most
painful features Of residence in the
republic TO European or an Ameri-
can. NJ. Daireaux, a Frenchman, gives
a pathetic account of the appearance
of a herd of cattle yielding to death
for want OF water.
.sOver the burning sod OF the pampas.
parched by the drought, the cattle
| slowly drag Themselves. Presently
one Of them falls to the ground, to rise
no more. His regular companions,
those of the little section of the herd
that always 90 together, group them
selves about him, watching silently his
long death agony. When he is dead al
last, still others flock around and fill
the air with their hoarse bellowings.-
It is necessary to drive the cattle away
from these strange funerals, or else
they would remain there, forgetting
their pasturage. y Youths Compa"j0n.

Welding by Electricity.

The new process of Welding metals
by electricity recently described IN
this column is now applied to the
welding Of steel rails. BY this device
the ends OF the rails after they are
placed in the track are welded to-
gether through the application of a
transformed electric current. and are
afterward tempered SO as to make the
Joint as hard as the rest Of the rail.
The Welding apparatus is carried on
he pilot of an engine or on coz
struction car, and it is claimed that a
Joint can be made in less than half
minute. Theinventor proposes to thus
make continuous rails a quarter OF q
mile in length, having expansion joints
only at intervals of that distance, the
rails being fastened at the center so as
to expand in both directions. II this
prove successful the cost Of track
maintenance and the wear and tear OF
rolling stock on the continuous rail
will be immensely reduced.

that we find onion growers taking two
or three years to prepare lands which
are e--en naturally adapted to this

City Forester Doogue, { Boston.
who for ten years has been irving to
find an effective remedy against the
increase Of canker worms and other
parasitic life in trees, thinks he has
| discovered a compound which. if in
| jected into trees, will do much toward
the desired end. He says that last
year he had eighty trees on Boston
I common that were entirely free from
/ harm. This year a number Of trees
have been ''vaccinated' before the sap
started. All this is quite contrary to a
| recent statement in Garden and ForeSt
that boring or plugging trees with
nostrums is an old and futile remedy. :
Mr.. George Browning, instructor to
| the Ontario Creamery association, re-
| ports that there are now fOrty-five
| creameries in good working order in
| the province, and having q working
capacity much greater than has been
| met by the quantities of milk and
cream supplied to them hitherto. The
butter made by the creameries has been
sold at satisfactory prices, and the in
situations are stated to be successful.
The past dry season, Mr.. Browning
| SAYS, has shown the necessity of grow
inc more fodder crops in Canada, and
thus depend less upon pasture. The
insecurity arising from failure OF
feed when it is Il ost wanted, he adds
is one of the create, difficulties dairy
farmers in Canada have to face.
Most farmers have noticed that hay
rapidly wastes when handled two OF
or three times in winter. If they are
obliged to buy load toward spring il
does not go so far as that pitched di-
rectly from their own bays or stacks
INTO the feed managers or boxes. There
is doubtless considerable waste in the
finer portions of the hay, which are
broken off and fall on the ground
during repeated handling. But the
newly mown hay is not packed closely
and can not be, it is so dry. It looks
to be more than it is. If the farmer
in spring is obliged to buy hay he
should usually feed more grain tomake
it 90 farther. The one advantage OF
hay on most farms is that it is on the
premises and it costs more to market
it than it does grain. The latter in
most places furnishes the cheaper nu-
triment, and when both have to be
bought the cheaper handling Of grain
is an argument in its favor against hay
or cOarser feed.

Contrast In City Life.

On the Tenth street side Of the Jeffer-
son Market Court Building in New
York is the entrance to the prison.
Forty prisoners a day, says writer in
the Sun, on an average the year
around, not excepting Sundays, enter
by the granite steps and iron doors
and pass to judgment in the police
court within. All grades of crime are
represented. Burly brutes who have
beaten their wives; besotted wretches,
With concave faces trampled in
By the iron hOof of sin;
women in all stages of the doomed life
which begins with Haunting inery and
ends in the river; children whose be-
ginnings were with crime.
On a top floor of a dwelling within
sight of the prison entrance there has
lived for more than a year a family
whose father has been confined to the
house by sickness. On many days the
sick man has sat by the front window
looking out upon the stream of culpTits
passing into the prison. On fine days
he sits close to the open window and
looks up and down the street. His
women folk watch him tenderly. They
help him to hisseat, they fold him care
fully in wraps. They bring him food
and drink They sit and sew and chat
with him. Their busy needles fly
swiftly, but they find time to look mp
anon with pleasant smiles and kindly
words.
Day by day this sweet picture #
devotion looks out upon this passing
stream of crime. The peaceful domes-
tic scene stands out in strong contrast
with the coarse and brutal panorama,
a perpetual rebUBe to the weak-minded
transgressors who can find no way to
meet trouble buy by drunkenness, and
no way to pleasure but by debauch.

= Poor Law

A farmer in Sumpter county, Ga,
who is indebted to a firm in Americas,
which held a mortgage upon pair of
mules belonging to him, which he
could not redeem, consulted a lawyer
to know if Jhere was not some way by
which he could save his stock. The
LAWYER informed him that if he were
only married man it W aid be all
right. as then hiswife could claim them
as part of the homestead and thus save
the mules, but otherwise there was no
chance to help him. well, replied
the young man, Il will get married,
then, if that is the only way out of It,
but it seems TO me that is id poor
law that deprives a man of his liberty
just to save two poor old mules" And
he departed sorrowfully and with a
heavy heart to find a girl that would
help him out of his trouble.
