THE WHISPERING CORN.


Have you e'er walked at early morn
Bes de q field of stately corn,
Just while the red sun crossed the rim
OF this round world, mist-wet and dimf
OFTEN have j. il but to hear
Mysterious whisperings far and near.
IT'S just at nature waking time,
While hillsides yet are white with Fime,
And while the first lark, rising. dinRs
Dew-spray from OF h 5 early wings,
And now and then a faint sound tells
Where cattle rise and shake their bells
'Hush," says the corn, with dog and gun,
ISee hunter hither run.
oh, trembling hare, far inward HE;
Lie close, oh. partridge, do not n.y."
The hunter lists. Itseems 10 say:
''No game is lurking here to-day"
Sometimes the farmer comes to see,
And then it saysi ''Here's gold for thee,
Which sun and air and sky and soil
Have gathered to reward thy toll.
Ten thousand sentinels in line
Guard each his gift for thee and thine"
Or IL some Dives walks for health,
Worn out with care of useless wealth,
It whispers: ''You make gold Of tears,
OF hunger curses, prayers ana fearA
But here are alchemists whose gold
Must feed the hungry, warm the cold"
Sometimes with heavy heart there goes
A love-lorn swain along the rows; a
Then List" 1t lisps, Sat husking beeSss
When rafters ring W tn rustic glee
OF brown-cheeked maids ana merry men,
AhI you shall kiss her, kiss her them
Thus oft In low, mysterious wise
Soft voices from the tall corn rise
Lulled lispings, as though unknown tongue
Whispered the long lush leaves among,
They tell me secrets sweet ard true;
They'll whisper, If you wish, to you.

ELECTRIC TANNING.
A Condensed Descriptions Of tho Ne,
Method Cor Making Leather.

A Condensed DescFiptioa of tho New
Method for Making Leather.
Fe crafty a number of inquiries the Shoe
and Leather Review gives the following
brief and concise description OF electric
tanning and its cost. The process, az de-
scribed by those who have seen il, is a very
simple one. The hides ara placed in large
cylinders, which revolve upon horizontal
axles. The drum is filed with decoction
Of tannin and closed. Provision is made
for the passing Of a current Of electricity
through the drum, The drum Is kept
slowly revolving, until the process of tan
ming is completed. The length of time re-
quired varies with the nature of the hide.
For the lighter skins, such as sheep and
goat, which used TO require from three 70
six months, by the electric process are
tanned IN twenty-four hours. The heavier
hides, such as calf, OK, ccys or horse, re.
quire from seventyst9o TO ninety-six hours.
BY the old-fashioned bark process twelve
months, or even more, would have been
taken.
The cost OF production Is greatly re-
duced by this method, for not only is the
saving In time. but in labor The actual
cost OF working is reduced over fifty per
cent By the bark process the cost OF tan.
ming is from seven to eight cents per
pound OF dry leather, as against that OF
three or four cents by the electric methods.
And again, where 2 force OF fifty men were
required to produce q given quantity OF
leather, only ten are needed TO produce the
same by the new methods Heretofsre
large capital has been required 10 run a
tannery having regular weekly output
As hides often require to lie in the tan watts
nearly year IL Will be seen that great
number must be in process o. tannage IN
order that certain amount OF leather be
turned out each week In addition TO ex
teusive plant, heavy investments are repre-
sented by the hides in tannage But tht
electric process completely revolutionize:
this. Hides purchased on Monday have
been converted into leather and put on the
market by Saturday.

Traders from the East.

Traders from the East.
Mimi i-Novgorod, situated at the couf1u-
ence of the Okla and Voiga. 276 miles by
rail east Of Moscow, is composed Of three
parts, the upper city, or Kremlin, built on
three hills, rising to height of some 400
feet; the lower town, along the right bank
of the Okla and Volga; and the Fair and
Kunavino suburb, on fiat, sandy tongue OF
land between the Okla and Volga, connected
with the town by a bridge of boats 900 me-
tiers long and . broad. The position Of the
town, writes Theodore Child, IN Harper'g
Magazine, is most picturesque. As we
stand on the bridge the foreground Is
formed by the bistre waters Of the Volga
crowded with boats and barges; in the mid
die distance are the quays and sioping
banks, surmounted by the large red build
ings of the lower town, with their white
window frames; to the right, midway up
the hill, is the vast monastery of the An
nunciation, dating from the thirteenth cent
ury, with white domes and white inclosing
walls; crowning the hill to the left Is the
Kremlin, with its caprlcioosly irregular
walls and battlemeuts, from amidst which
rise bulbous cupolas with Eildsd dsmes,
and towers with cenical rocfs; 70 the left,
also in the lower town. may be seen the
green domes OF the Church of the Nativity,
built In q bastard style OF Italian Gothic, OF
red brick picked out with white stucco or
naments, the whole very eccentric in form
and color; still further TO the left. bevond ~

A DISASTROUS CHESTNUT.
How q Milwaukee Dude Got Drink and
Lost Bride.

Lost . Bride.
A very amusing incident, says Peck's
Sun, happened few evenings since over
at the Bijou Opepa-house, and one young
man, at least, received lesson which ho
will not forget in q hurry. Mckee Rankin
was entertaining large audience with his
new play, "The Runaway Wife," and had
become blind, as is his habit at each per-
formance, when the curtain went down ON
the second act. Several men Immediately
arose and crowded their way out, the eager
expression upon their faces telling plainly
that they were after q drink. Finally, Q
nice young fellow, with beautiful bang, q
low-cut vest and general society air about
him, began to get uneasy, and after looking
anxiously at each man who arose to go, at
last, In desperation, turned to the fair
dream OF loveliness at his side and said: .,
Mary, if you will kindly excuse me for .
few moments, / should like to go into the
lobby, as there is a gentleman out there
whom desire to speak WITH
Mary did not answer, but bowed her con-
sent, and the poor young man crowded his
way Out, much to the discomfort Of several
ladies IN his immediate row. Hardly had he
disappeared through the door when the
young lady, too, arose and followed him.
Alas IL he had but told the truth and said
that he wanted drink all might have been
well, but that old chuStnut about wanting
TO see man was too suspicious for even q
young thing like her TO swallow, and so she
followed him. She was not mistaken, for.
going out the front door, she hurriedly
glanced into the bar-room at the right and
there heheid her escort peering into the In
xertcd bottom Of glass.
Witha cold glitter in her eagle optics that
would have queered q book agent, she
headed north and boarded Grand avenue
car. leaving the young man to guess at her
whereabouts. Five minutes later he entered
the theater. and being trife near-sighted,
marched down the aisle, and even crowded
his way to his seat before discovering Ler
absence. Then the blank look that came
across his features was laughable TO behold.
First he looked At the vacant seat and sur
veyed the audience. but all to no purpose,
for she was nowhere to be seen.
Finally gallery god mildly hinted that
de girl has gone home to her maw," and
then, amid much laughter, the discounted
young man left the house. To make il
worse, the young couple were to have been
warrled. soon. but now the wedding has
