FAITHS VISTA.

When from fhe vaulted wonder of the sky
The curtain Of the light is drawn aside,
And behold the stars in all their wide
Significance and glorious mystery,
Assured that those more distant orbs are suns
Round which innumerable worlds revolve,-
My faith grows strong, my day born doubts dis
solve,
And death, that dread annulment which life shunS,
Or fam would shun becomes to life the way,
The thoroughfare to greater worlds on high,
The bridge from star to star. Seek how we may,
There is no other road across the sky;
And, looking up, l hear star voices say:
"You could not reach us if you did not die"

Racing GA the Upper Mississ,ppi.

There is one phase of steamboating that
it will be interesting to touch on briefly,
and that is the racing. There was a good
deal of this, and some Of the contests were
decidedly hot and exciting. George Haz-
zard says he has sawed wood like steam
mill to feed the furnaces of a steamboat in
a race, and doubtless other steamboat men
remember similar experiences. There was
a great race between the Itasca, from
Prairie du Chen, and the Gray Eagle.
from Dubuque, at the time the laying of
the Atlantic cable was completed. Each
boat was the bearer of dispatches relating
to the matter, and the captain of each was
anxious to get the news ashore first. At
the bend just below the city the two boats
were neck and neck, their engines groan-
ing and their stacks belching forth clouds
of smoke. They came up the river "a-huk-
ing" and there is still question as to
which landed first. 1t was probably one
of the most exciting contests that ever &C.

When a troop of them approach the
town, the natives-warned of their prox-

lions they committee cautiously to work
to capture some of them 1t would be no
use to rush out and give chase, as in his
forest home the monkey is far more fleet
than man, being able to penetrate the
densest thickets and to swing himself from
tree to tree with lightning rapidity so the
lazy Caribs adopt an easier and very SIM
pie plan. They cut hole in a cocoanut
just large enough for monkey to insert
his closed paw. The cocoanut is then
scooped out and a lump of sugar is placed
in the hollow. To this primitive trap
string is attached, and the negroes hide
themselves behind the bushes, lying fiat
upon the ground and keeping perfectly
quiet until the monkey procession passes by.
As is well known, curiosity is leading
characteristic of these Darwinian connect

he scampers down from the tree and pro-
ceeds to inspect it carefully, followed by all
the tribe. The lump of sugar soon at

their walls and lamentations. But they

A Clever RoyaI surgeon.

Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria. who
is married to the Infanta Paz, is very
clever surgeon, and at one of the hospitals
in Madrid he recently operated on a
woman who was suffering from cancer OF
the breast, with complete success His
relative, the Duke Charles Theodore,
brother of the Empress of Austria, is both
oculist and surgeon, and is very skiIlful
but his fondness for the knife is not ap-
preciated at the Vienna and Munich hos
pitfalls, for whenever he operates all the
regular arrangements are upset, the whole
staff is required to be in attendance on
him; he must always be respectfully ad-
dressed as Your Royal Highness.'' and
strict etiquette is observed, all of which is
decidedly nuisance. When the Duke is
at Vienna. he often passes the whole day
In the general hospital, and if there are
any arms or legs to be cut off, he hastens
joyfully to the work. Duke Charles zeal
may possibly be moderated by his ac.
eession to the Bavarian estates of his
father, Duke Max, who died the other
day. he is married to cousin of the
King Of Portugal.-London Truth.

The E1Iics Of Snort.

The Hampstead Coursing Club has
again been killing hares with fox terriers,
and the agents of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals have again
arrested the participants, and declare that
they will arrest every member of the club
every time they attempt to xii
hares in this fashion. The method pur-
sued at Hampstead is to take the hares
from a pen. drop them to the ground and
slip the terriers at them. The dogs catch
and kill the hares in very quick time, less
than minute elapsing between the drop
ping of the hare to the ground by the at
tendant and its death in the jaws of the
dog.
1t is quite clear that to argue upon the
degree of cruelty involved in this opens a
wide discussion. If we are to designate
the cruelty in this case as the infiction of
physical pain, it may be urged, and very
truly, too, that the suffering is extremely
trihing in comparison with that caused by
many other methods OF killing wild ami
mails, the legitimacy of which modes of
killing is generally conceded by healthy
minded persons. But if the consideration
of cruelty be left out, or even if it be
granted that the practice is not cruel,
there is yet in it that which makes it re-
voting to lovers Of fair play and manly
field sports.
The Hampstead style of hare killing is
most certainly opposed to public senti-
ment, and finds no approval even among
those who thoroughly believe in field
sports. This is because it violates the first
principle of sport, inasmuch as it gives no
Claw" to the game. There is absolutely
no chance for the game to get away, its
death is sure; the only uncertainty about
the affair is as to which of the dogs will
do the killing in the shortest time, but the
killing itself is thing of certainty. This
is that part of it all which is out of har-
mony with the accepted ethics of field
sport.
If the victim had any chance for its life,
if there was even the remotest possibility
of its getting away, the sport" Save the
mark would lose much of its brutality.
What decent man would go cunning after
rabbits, if attendants had been hired to go
out in advance to tie the Dummies to stakes
so that they could not elude the pursuit?
To come to nearer parallel, who would
shoot pigeons from trap, if the birds were
tied with a string so they could not get
away if repeatedly missed? Any mode of
killing game which first puts that game
into condition of utter helplessness and
makes its destruction "a dead sure thing"
violates the first principles of legitimate
sport, and no one with any manliness or
the least spark of instinct for fair play
would demean himself by taking part in
it.-Forest and Stream.

sertion when we say that nine out of every
ten persons who undertake to cook dried
fruit make positive failure The usual
method followed is a very poor one, that of
selecting the fruit to be eaten at lunch,
dinner or tea, two or three hours prior to
using it, rinsing it in little water, then
placing it in water and allowing it to re-
main in soak for two or three hours only,
then pouring off the water in which the
fruit was soaked and applying fresh water,
putting it on the stove and cooking it
thoroughly. Such manipulation as this
Is calculated to secure the poorest possible
result, If it does not actually ruin the
fruit. Many people consider dried fruits
hardly worth their time and attention,
from the fact that after repeated trials
they find so little of value-the fruit haV-
ing lost its original flavor, is tasteless and
not at all palatable.
Ii the following method for cooking
dried fruit is followed, a directly opposite
result will be realized: Select the fruit
that you intend to use, rinse it thoroughly
in clean, clear water, then place the fruit
to soak in an earthen dish, with sufficient
water to cover ii, from ten to fifteen hours
before requiring it for use Then place il
on the back of the stove in the same water
in which it has been soaked, which con-
tains the flavor and nutrition soaked out
OF the fruit, and allow it to simmer slowly,
just coming to boil occasionally, until it
is entirely cooked through; add sugar as
the occasion requires to make it palatable
1t can be served either hot or cold, as YOU
desire. As rule, if it is placed on one
side and allowed to cool it will be fully as
palatable. By this method you will Sc
cure wholesome and palatable dish, full

Eertilize.

In short conversation had the other
day with prominent horticulturist we
discussed the subject of fertilizers for fruit
trees, and he readily admitted that very
many of the numerous diseases, bug pests.
etc, could be traced to defective nourish-
ment. 1t is hard to get the average or
chardist to believe or admit that he must
spend every year certain amount of time
and money feeding his trees, as we'll as cuI-
tiyating them, in order that they may be
strong, vigorous and healthy, in which
condition they are better able to with
stand the attacks made upon them BY the
numerous insect pests and diseases. For
what length of time would fruit-grower
be able to attend TO his daily routine of
business if he suhsisted on one meal dav.
and that meal was to consist of a cracker
and glass of water? No, he requires TO
be ted three times 4 day, and occasionally
drink and little lunch thrown in be-
tween meals; but he expects his trees to

benefit and profit with but one meal in

l happened to sit just behind young lady
who | saw was in great trouble. Presently
she turned and asked me which horse /
thought would win, and l noticed she
could hardly keep from crying as she
spoke. | told her that did not know the
winner for certainty. She asked me to
put some money for her on horse, and |
frankly told her she did wrong to hand
her money to perfect stranger; but she
insisted, and | took it and bet for her.
After the race brought her back $50, and
you never saw anybody so delighted as
she was. Then she told me her story.
She lived in New York and kept house
for her father and brother, and they had
given her 500 to pay some bills. She
had gone to the races instead, and had lost
$40 when she spoke to me- She was des-
perate at the time, not knowing what to
do, as she dared not to go home without
the money. | advis ed her never to bet
again, and she promised me that she would
not. But her case was only one of scores
that have seen, and there seems to be a
peculiar fascination for women to bet when
once they get to frequenting the track"
