Relics Of the iron Age.

Recently there have been some valu-
able finds" of antiquities belonging to
the iron age in Norway. At Nottero, on
the Christiana Fjord, there were found
in a mound some bones, an iron pot
with handles, sword two feet six inches
long, the handle having knobs Of a yell
tongs. The mound was no doubt at one
time situated close to the sea ; it is now
some 800 yards inland. At Laurvig q
large number of similar ARTICLES were
discovered In two mounds.

OFF TO PASTURE.

Let down The bars; slowly they go
Away 10 the grassy meads-
Serene. Asysweet and Appleblow,
Where Flemish Lady leads:
Mehetabel. Dewdrop Pentrill,
Wild Jess and Jenny Shields,
And good old Duchess Daffodill,
on TO the open fields;
Tlnkle, tinkle, jingle. tinkle,
Clang and jingle as they go,
Down where yellow cowslips twinkle,
Up where purple violets grow;
Away where white-faced daisies sprinkle
The hills with summer snow.
What matchless charm in the early hours,
What witchery in the mornl
The dew lies lightly on the flowers,
And drops from the tasseled corn;
we count the ships, gray-streaked and old
That cross the shadowy blue
The spars, the ropes of twisted gold
Aud hail the phantom crew:
On leweled hinge the East gate swings,
Where the sheayes of light are stored;
We fe-l the peace the day-dawn brings,
The JOY of the herald word;
And we think of John at the Enon springs,
And the coming of the Lord.
Musing we lean on the pasture bar,
Ana sweet thoughts come while we wait
The roadside dreamings of Satinspar,
The Silver Cloud ana Kate;
Then over the road the jingle goes,
<a44A tiA51C OfcI tue Dl4uStt
Illl the last one, pretty Cherokee Rose,
Goes dowl behind the ridge;
But the dreams OF morning must not last,
For light, creeping over the blue,
Brings out the ripening grain-felds vast,
And the work there is to do;
Not an amber grain must go to waste,
And the laborers are SO few
Now the fresh. sweet breath of coming day.
Floats up from the misty dells,
And brings, thought faint and far away,
The helpful sound of the bells;
And sweet tones answer in the heart,
A tender, trustful chime
That swings and rings all day, part
Of the blessed morning time;
But, one by one on rosy ladders
step down the weary stars;
And into misty shadows,
Fades the red light of Mars;
he COWS are OF 10 the meadows,
And we put up the bars.

HUNTING ALLlGAToRs.
Night Time is the Best for Killing the
Saurians.

Night Time Is the Best for Killing the
Saurians.
Under present conditions, alligator
hunting by daylight has become tire
some, uninteresting and Improbable occu-
patton in most parts of the peninsula, and
the hunters have adopted the novel scheme
of killing them by night, writes Chicago
Tribune correspondent from Eustis, Fla.
The men equip themselves with guns, re-
volvers, knives and bullseye lanterns, and
seek an alligator track as soon as it is dark
These tracks are as plainly marked as
wagon tracts, and are made by the alliga-
tors constantly moving from one lake,
river or swamp to another. The men take
their stations and preserve absolute silence.
The alligators can be heard at consider
able distance laboriously approaching.
When at the proper point the bullseyes
are turned upon them. The sudden
stream of dazzling light terrorizes them,
and they are seemingly paralyzed for the
nonce. Their eyes bulge out and sparkle
like huge diamonds, and at these glisten-
ing orbs the hunters direct their aim. 1t
Is useless to shoot them except in the eyes,
the open mouth or under the throat, as
their tough skins turn away the shot and
receive no injury. When the alligators
are all killed the hunters move on to an
other ridge and await the approach of
more victims.
A negro is usually employed to remove
the hides and teeth, while the remains are
left as food for the numerous buzzards,
which are here protected by law. The
hides sell for from 81 to So each, and the
teeth for as much more, the latter being
worked into jewelry, and other ornaments.
Half dozen enterprising men can secure
from one to score of alligators in single
night, the number depending on the loca-
ton and the condition of the weather.
II the reptiles continue their migratory
habits, there will be little trouble in ex-
terminating them within few years, with
out encountering the dangers of entering
the swamps to pursue them. The DISPOSE
ton to move about apparently grows on
them with the advance of civilization, the
uneasiness among them being engendered
presumably by the persistency with which
they are pursued. In their present panic
stricken condition they are seldom found
far from the water IN daylight, but make
all their overland journeys by night

And listening to the children with their merfi

When little maiden ent red--tmitly she came
to me,
And a bunch Of lovely posies shy,y id upon ny

Then she raised her curls so golden from her
merry eyes of brown.
And she droopei her long dark lashes on the
blossoms, looking down:
Then, calling up her sourage, said in tones like

was away,
And the little one hal remembered, though she
was but five that day.
Patiently within the orchard she had sought
the apple flowers,
fiucking them, 50 sweet and dainty, from the
cool green-leafy bowers
And upon the pleasant hillside through the
valley and the plain.
Sne had hunted for wild peoples and found
them 'mong the grain.
Beautiful beyond comp are, apple blossoms fair
and sweet
And like snowfiakes pink and white. fall your
petals round my feet.
Each gorgeous, bright wild poppy seems TO be a
flaming cup
Where the golden glows to oranle, the child's
face seems to look up

Can you tell me, apple blossom, with leaf like

Why dear little dimpled maiden picked you

DOMESTIC NURSING.
Sensible Suggestions on the Care of the
Sick Mt Home,

A large, sunny room should be selected
for the invalid; if without carpet so
much the better. Sunshine as disinfect-
ant is worth bushels of chloride of lime.
The room should be kept thoroughly
ventilated and at temperature not lower
than $50 or higher than ZOE If the pa
tient is kept warm, air may be freely ad-
mitted without the danger.
A sheet folded once lengthwise, laid
across the bed, with the upper edge just
touching the pillows and the ends tightly
tucked under the mattress, will be found
to add greatly to the patients comfort.
1t does not wrinkle like single sheet, and
crumbs may be readily brushed off it.
The bed linen should be changed at
least once in three days; the blankets once
a week, those that have been removed be-
ing hung in the open air for few hours,
then thoroughly aired in warm room.
In bathing the invalid never uncover
too large surface at once. Pin blanket
round the shoulders, fastening it behind,
and remove the night dress under that
Put the hand under the blanket and
sponge the skin, a small portion at time
A woman's hair should be combed every

it has become tangled little oil will soon
loosen it.
The cross sheet should invariably bs
kept free from crumbs and wrinkles, a.
these are frequent cause of bed sores
Wherever the least redness shows on the
patients body the skin must be at once
bathed with alcohol, thoroughly dried ant
busted with powdered oxide of zinc.
The carpet of a sick room should b.
| lightly brushed once day with wettet
broom The furniture and woodworl
should be wiped with damp cloth. DIR,
busters and feather brushes are worse thar
useless.
| Meals for invalids should look as tempt
ing as possible. The tray should be GOV
cred with the whitest napkin, and the sill
yer, glass and china should shine will

disguised by display of too much foot
and should not be consulted beforehand
as to what he viii eat or drink.

Mother and Daughter.

If there Is any relation in life that
should bind people firmly and faithfully
together, it is that of mother and daugh-
ter left alone in the world. Yet how often
the mother tolls and the daughter idles.
Sometimes it is the daughter who labors,
while the mother folds her hands and re-
grets the past. Again, when each per-
forms honorably her daily duties, there
may be between them affection certainly,
but no loving intimacy, no sweet and cheer
ful sharing of tolls, pleasures and thoughts,
such as can make lives, otherwise the
hardest, contented and happy.
The mother and daughter who stand
losely side by side to face the world are
true friends affection attracts affection.

Polly and her mother always look happy

They feel at ease in her presence, and like
to have her with them, and never fail to
ask after her with interest when she is
away, while Mrs. Hernam's Polly is a
favorite among the older people wherever
her rosy face is known.
She is still schoolgirl, but already her
learning is far beyond that of her busy
mother, whose chief source of pride is her
ability to earn for her studious girl the ad-
vantages which she did not have herself
