September set in, sultry as the tropics
this year, and the three girls returned to
Archer's great store with unwilling foot
steps.
But the cashier met them with a smil-

Dogs as Motive Power in Germany

Some phianthropist in Germany
should send his name revcrberating down
the ages as the friend and protector OF
overworked dogs. The condition of
these poor animals throughout Germany,
writes Blakley Hall in the New York
Su7, is a blot upon nineteenth century
civilization. They passed law in Eng
land prohibiting the ue of dogs for
dragging vehicles, but there is no such
law IN Germany. A customary sight is
q woman seventytive years Of age har-
messed to cart with two dogs, drawing
it YEARLY along country roads or through
the streets of the cities. Very often the
woman gives it up or is too feeble to
bear her share, and then she varies the
journey by alternately pushing the cart
and whipping the dogs as she walks by
their side. \ cart about the size of a
street cab in New York, aud often
loaded to the height of five or six feet
by merchandise, is the usual load 70. an
old woman and two dogs. \ cart of
smaller dimensions is often dragged by
the dogs alone, and sometimes oni poor
beast is seen struggling along nler a
load that an American would consider
up to the powers of an average horse.
The dogs are of all sorts OF breeds, but
invariably large aud strong. They are
muzzled-for they grow savage under
their harsh treatmeut-and are harnessed
a good deal after the fashion of horse.
The faithfulness and industry of the
poor creatures are wonderful. They
will toll along the dusty roads straining
every muscle in their bodies until they
drop dead in their tracks, and dead dog
by The roadside in this county are by no
means uncommon. At night in the
streets OF Berlin are countless venders'
carts displaying fruit, and to every one
is attached dog or two. AS soon as they
Lave dragged the load into Berlin, the
woman who is selling the fruit takes
small square Of carpet out of the cart and
places II on the pal ement. The dog then
rolls himself up on it and is tenderly
covered with another rug TO protect him
from cold. He sleeps there till it is time
for him to begin his journey home. Very
often the coats of the animals exhibit
big sores where the harness has chafed
them.

MOSS.

Strange tapestry, by nature spun
On viewless looms, aloof from sun,
And spread through lonely hooks and grots
Where shadows reign, and leafy rest
Oh, moss, Of all your dwelling spots,
In which one are you loveliesti
Is IL when near grim roots that coil
Their snaky black through humid soill
Or when you wrap in woodland gloom,
The great prone pine trunks rotted redy
Or when you dim, on sombre tombs,
The 'requiescatsn of the deadi
Or is it when your lot is cast
In some quaint garden of the past
On some gray, crumble basins brim,
With conches that mildewed tritons blow
While yonder, through the poplars prim
Looms up the turreted chateaui
Nay, loveliest are you when time weaves
Your emerald films on low dark leaves,
Above where pink porch roses peer.
And woodbines break in fragrant foam,
And children laugh-and you can hear
The beatings of the heart of hom,.

The practice of sub-irrigation by means
of tiles, says the New York Tim s. is the
exact reverse of tile dra mage, water
being supplied to the land through the
tiles instead of being drained away from
it. But there is no economy in the
quantity of water used; the ground must
be saturated anyhow, and it makes nc
matter how the water is supplied
Twenty thousand gallons would supply
an acre OF land with three-fourths OF an
inch of water and this would he sufli
cent in Florida, if given once a week,
so that tank OF this capacity filled every
twenty-four hours would supply five
acres. AT first much larger quantity
of water is required until the soil is filled
and then the quantity eyaporated only
needs to be restored. This quantity de.
pends, of course, upon the dryness of the
weather and upon the nature OF the soil,

more water by percolat.on thaa hea 1;el

In the Kitchen.

Several things are indispensable for
convenience in the kitchen. First q
small keg of soft soap will be found
more economical and do its work better
than hard soap. Should the latter be
preferred though, it should be bought in
the green state or newly made, SO to
speak, and placed in a dark cool place
for two or three months before using it.
It can be bought hardened but will cost
a trihe more than in the fresh state.
Next comes a tin can of washing soda
for cleaning greasy kettles and pans,
for sweetening sinks, for securing out
all dark corners and closets that do not
get much air and light, and for washing
off dusty and dirty brushes and brooms.
Some people forget that the tools they
work with need cleaning very often.
They will scour their knives every day,
but forget all about their brushes.
From the hair brush to the scrubbing
brush, from the dust brush to the broom,
all need to be frequently cleaned with
soda and ammonia.
Dish-cloths are quickest sweetened
by being boiled with soda. Borax is a
convenient and safe article to strew
about where there are reaches. In the
laundry it is also useful. For washing
the baby's flannels use two tablespoon
fuls to three gallons Of luke warm water,
and no soap. The garments Will be
found soft and clean and will not shrink.

VACATION.

o, worker, weary with thy work,
Worn with the daily strife,
Who knoweth that success is vain,
That dreams fade out of life.
Go to thy mothers heart for rest,
Deep as thy childhoods SLEEP,
Her tired children safe and close
Thy mother yet can keep.
For still It's true, as in those days
Long past, Of mirth and song,
Calm Nature great all-mother is,
With love and memory long.
Find then, thou canst on Natures heart,
This solace for thy pain
The joy that blossoms with the grass,
The g,adness of the grain.
The happy breaking into song
OF brook, and bird, and bee,
Aud on the wind that lifts the woU
And bends the willing tree.
On silent pools beneath the hills,
Where quiet shadows lie,
On waters swift, and changing hue
Let fall thy line and fly.
Let thy heart dance with dancing leaves,
And with the pattering rain
So shalt thou find, though day decline,
Thy childhood's rest again.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Pretty Plauue.

Take a piece of stiff pasteboard the size
of a cabinet Photograph, and on one side
place 4 layer of waduing. Cover with
dark blue velvet, being careful to have it
lie perfectly smooth, and Easten on the
wrong side. Take another piece paste
board a little smaller than the first aud
cover with black cambria. Sew or glue
this to the wrong side Of the larger piece
of cardboard. Buy q small bunch of
field daisies, and nd their stems tie
bow Of dark blu ribbon. Fasten
this to the center nc plaque. This
makes a pretty orl.Aent, and may be
placed on a wire easel or hung on the
wall. If the latter way is liked, attach
to the center of the back tiny brass
ring, through which run loop of dark
blue satin ribbon by which to suspend it.
