TOMORROW.

The DAYS pass, and the weeks, tho months, the
years:
"a waves upol Tines shore. they break and
pass;
With ~ ~ season, round new face wears
The mighty world that is our small lfes glass
And still Ms flows the tide Of joy or sorrow,
Tomorrow. do we sigh. and yet Tomorrow -
Comes April with her sudden CLEANS and glooms
Her blue bright Moons OF laughter aud Of show
ers,
The sun fccked shade beneath white orchard
blooms
Her wealth Of primrose and OF cowslip flowers;
And yet. for this largcsse from May TO borrow
Full fain are we, and murmur still, Tomorrow
Now summers here. Warm skies are Ger US
bent;
White shcaves Of lilies rise against the blue
The very airs are hot and ndoent,
Breathing the rose walks they have wandered
through
No thought have we for winters dearth and sor-
row,
Yet must We sigh, unsatisfied, Tomorrow"
10. autumn's gamers, rich with golden grain,
Fair fruit in orchards, nuts brown on the tree,
Last poppy petals, falling in red rain,
Blue mists at morn about the daisied lee,
Now look We mournful, out to coming sorrow,
Aud sigh. with falling breath, Alas, tomorrow

A large crop of white beans is now be
ing harvested in Spain and Italy. The
United States. it is expected, will furnish
a market for the surplus. Labor is SC
low In continental Europe that the farm
ers there can raise certain articles OF
farm produce cheaper than the American
farmer. Hence our farmers need some
of the same protection which our Govern
ment affords the silk cotton, iron and
steel manufactures. In any scheme of
tariff revision our 100000 farmers
should fare as we'll as miners and manu-
facturers.

How to Dress Lambs,

Leave the hide on. Cut open the car
cass from the breast bone to the hint
legs-don't cut through the hind quarters
as the meat is apt to turn dark. The en-
trails should be properly cleansed out
bladder must be removed leaving moth
ing but liver, lungs, heart and kidneys
Back set the hide and draw the caul fat
over the back sets. Leave head and fee
on. Lambs should weigh not less thar
eighteen pounds. When too small they
are not wanted

After cultivation has progressed long
enough to decrease the vegetable matter
in the soil there are worse droughts than
formerly This may be due to deficiency
In rainfalls and is sometimes ascribed to
that cause. But the true reason often Is
that the soil Is less absorptive. and what
rain does fall runs Off on the surface
instead Of soaking down. 1t might real
ly be questionable advantage In such
districts 10 have great increase In rain
fall, as the water coming suddenly will
cause disastrous floods, worse even than
droughts. Deepening the soil by under
draining Is the true remedy. This, If
done on large scale, will also increase
the rainfall.

Educate the Children.

The writer who gives so solid state
ment regarding cheap labor, sums up the
whole matter by stating that 'where
wages are high the genius of inventors
becomes concentrated on the economy of
labor. Usually, it turns out that highly
rewarded labor is so much more product
i've as to make the cost of the production
of goods almost the same. This is fact,
As lar as paper making is concerned; and
expect it will be the same in other man.
ufactures. | will therefore conclude by
repeating my opinion that the best meth
cd of obtaining the liberal reward of la
Dor is the giving of a good education to
children"
There is nothing more to add. lie has
arrived at the only solution of the labor
question, and Educate the Children will
be the war cry of those who desire to
benefit labor, by rendering 1t more val
liable.

A Great Game of Poker,

Rumors are current, says the Helena
Herald, Of big poker game that came off
Sunday night in one of Helena's gambling
resorts. Itwas between two well-known
capitalists and two Of the sporting frater-
nifty. One account says that there was
nearly $780, 900 in the pot, most of which
was lost by the capitalists. Anotherreport
has it that one Of these gentlemen dropped
$4,000 and the other $4,000 during the
evening. It was the greatest game of
poker Helena has seen for some time, if
not the biggest game ever played here.
