OUR CHILDREN.

Hooked at the happy children
Who gathered around the hearth:
So bthe they were-no children
Could be happier on earth;
With their merry plays, and their winsome wsys
And the sound Of their svery mirth-
Then thought OF those other children.
So wizened. and hard and bold.
Who huddle in sum and cellar,
And SILVER with want and cold;
Not fresh as the dew. or the mornings hue,
But haggard. and lean and old
But yet may they still, those children
Be taught to forget their pain;
And gathered in arms that love them
Their laughter may come again.
And the stare of woe and the craft may go,
And the spirit be washed Of stain
But 1t is not In cold book learning
Those chiilren's hearts to move;
And the stony eye Of the serpent
Is death to the stricken dove;
lis an angel alone can touch them.
And that angels name is love
For whatever the world may fancy
And whatever the wise men say
Of our Nineteenth century progress,
OF new and better WHY
Still it takes a soul to uIal' soul
Now. as in the olden day

AMERICAN AGRICULTURE
As Shown at the Paris Exposition

The grouping of the many objects of in
terest and study in the American agricultural
department involved much patient care and
discrimination on the part of the collectors.
The task of the agricultural commissioner
Professor { V. Riley. chief entomolegist to
the United States department Of agriculture
at Washington. has been of no ordinary
difficulty But he has succeeded well and
the display is much observed and compli-
mented. To prepare faithful representa-
ton of the American agricultural industry
and in the limited space available to display
it, in manner which would worthily rt fleet
the extent of area, variety of climate, di-
versity of interest, and the industrial
energy of 10000 900 people, is probls m
that seldom demands solution. On enter
ing the United States Court At the east end
of Qusi d 0rssi. between the Pont DE l.
Alma ard the Pont DIES Iuvslides. the visitor
sees display Of forest products from the
great lumber regions of the States. These
are exhibited in various stages from the raw
timber to the manufactured product. Asso-
cisted with this display is model of tree
planting machine which has been proved ca
psble of planting as many as 5 900 or 10, 900
trees in single dsy. Close at hand is a
valuable series of wall-chsrts illustrating in
graphic form the economic features of
cereal cultivation. agricultural education,
railroad development, and subjects of allied
character. A collection of cotton fibre pro-
ducts includes large number of specimen,
of raw cotton. cotton seed. cotton seed cake
and oil, and cotton oil sosp. Adjacent to
this exhibit is 4 variety of specimens of fax,
jute. and of the rsmie fibre grown in Texas.
Next is a collection of the woods produced
in different parts of the Union by the vari-
Gus breeds of sheep
The native fruit industry is illustrated by an
exhibit comprising raisins, oranges and nuts,
models of apples, pears and other cultivated
fruits, and a series of American wines At
the other end Of this court the surroundings
are chiefly corn and honey, The grain ex-
hibit is almost bewildering in the number and
variety of products. In one case alone there
are upwards of two hundred and fifty vsrie-
ties of seed grains 10 every conceivable form,
from all the principal grsin-gro~ing regions
Of the union. An instructive collection Of
prepared breakfast cereals includes pearl

Another odd feature about the prevalence
of the color green is the fact Of its having

Of choice bonbons there is a preponderance
Of green candy, and it's palpable candy, too.
