Yesterday.

sober young face at her side made
her suspect that the picnic had been

day. Maybe if l had gone to the

"Maybe not; / don't know. But

Facts for Poultry Raisers.

Daily outdoor exercise or free range
is the best advice we can give those
who want fertile eggs and strong
chickens. The past winter has been
favorable for all kinds Of poultry; the
fowls have been out on the bare ground
every week. The non-hatching Of
eggs will not be as common q COM
plant as last spring. Hens that lay
early usually set early; some hens are
often broody after laying fewer eggs
than others. We could never succeed
in making our hens sit until they were
inclined to do so. Some of them will
sit standing if removed from their ac-
customed seat. Last month we had a
pullet that was laying on an exhibition
coop in the hen-house. Becoming
broody. she would not set where
we wanted her to. So we
gave way to her whims, and
let her have twelve eggs to incubatc
in a nest of hay with cloth on top of
the coop. She came of to eat about
every time any thing good was in or
der; still she Matched out eleven of as
healthy chickens as we ever saw.
She was stubborn. yet she knew her
own business better than we did.
The best feed for young chicks is
bread and milk mixed with a dough
made from corn and oat meal we'll
cooked. II they get all they will eat
of this feed five times day at regular
intervals until they are five are six
weeks old, you need not worry to their
growth. Wheat we'll soaked in boil
ing water is good for change. Tho
chicks Matched before warm weather
do the best; they will endure the cold

Dakota's Morning Air.

Persons coming to Dakota will do
well, in the fall or winter, to rise up
with the sun on any cool morning, and
they will be we'll repaid for their
trouble. As the sun is peeping over
the horizon, if the morning is clear,
one can see for ten, twenty and thirty
miles, according to the levelness of the
country. One can see timber thirty
miles away as if not more than six
miles away, raised high in the air, SO
the sky can be seen between the mirage
and the earth. Elevators and barns,
houses and timber, seem to be mount
ainous in size. even though they are
twenty miles away; the air is so cool
and clear that people and stock are
seen with the naked eye much better
than with opera or field glasses, and
persons talking with each other two
miles away will be distinctly heard.

THE LAST MEMORY,

The windows are darkened, and dim is my sight
In the gathering twilight of age;
Aud now lean scarce read the story Alright
That is written on memory's page;
Though all Of iife's visions are vanishing fast.
One shines like star in its place.
In the gloom that the present throws over the
past.
remember my mothers sweet face
Ipray that my sad heart this treasure may save
Till my soul is released from its strife;
Each year cometh on like conuuering wave,
Sweeping over the waters of life
Resstlcss and mighty, from deep unto deep
Eternty's flood moves apace;
Though its tide hurries all to oblivons sleep,
remember my mothers sweet face
And when it is ready to reap;
Down into my heart mercy falleth like rain
To quicken the seeds that are deep
The lessons OF patience, the stories, the PRAYERS
That learned in my mothers embrace,
Would long since have grown to a harvest of
tares
Had failed to remember her face.
/ listen and wait in the shadows that fall
Ger the deep on eternity's shore,
But out of the stiffness | hear a voice call
That sounds like an echo Of yore.
Thrcdgh the watches OF night shall not be
alone,
Nor afraid of the dawning of grace;
Though all else loved into darkness has flown,
remember my mothers sweet face.

The woman who creates by her
work and smiles happy home, and
raises a family of children to worthy
manhood and womanhood is the noblest
work of God, and is more entitled to
the honor and praises of mankind than
the butterfly of fashion in the political

Happy are they who, when sorely
wounded in life, can turn to the natural
world and find in every tree, shrub and
flower comforting friend that will not
turn from them. Such are not far from
God and peace. Only mind, imagina-
ton and refinement can embroider the
homely details of life.
Especially do we owe a consider
ate manner to those less favored than
ourselves; for with sweet flowers of
courtesy we may do something to
brighten an otherwise barren life.

SOME SHARK STORIES,
They Are Good, But to a Man Up a Trce
They Look improbable.

Last night, in a company of con.
| genial spirits, the conversation turned
On sharks, those scavengers of the sea-
Their voracity, staying qualities, and
ability to swallow any thing and every
thing that came their way was dis
cussed at some length. A young man
who had never been to sea said he had
read stories of monster man-eating
sharks following ships for weeks, &C
companied by an aching void which
able seamen alone could fill with any
degree of satisfaction-to the shark.
He had also read of a sailor who was
on deck one day grinding his knife,
with boy turning the stone, when the
ship gave a sudden lurch. the whole
outfit went overheard and was swal-
lowed by shark. The sailor and his
boy kept at work, sharpened the knife
to q razor edge, cut their way out of
the shark and were picked up by a
boat lowered from the ship.
The man. of-war's man said that
story was a little too improbable, but
that he could tell one himself within
the bounds of reason. when our
ship was in Honolulu" he said, II
was ashore one day in the launch, a
small steamboat used for conveying
officers and sailors to and from the
ship. We were lying at the dock and
when the engineer attempted to start
his engine on the return trip she re-
fused to work. Thinking, perhaps. that
rope or something had fouled the
propeller, the engineer looked over the
stern and found that a monster shark
had swallowed the wheel, and though
we prodded the cuss with boat-hook
it refused to disgorge the cast-iron del
icacy. We then slowed the boat
around, and heading for the ship, a
mile distant, we managed by jabbing
the fish with boat-hooks, to make it
furnish motive power, and thus got
under way. The coxswain stood at the
tiller and steered for the ship. but just
as we got alongside the vessel the
shark gave a sudden lurch, broke the
propeller short off at the bearing, and
got away with it.-Chicago Herald.

TROUT-FISHlNG SECRETS.

An Ancient and Acute Angler Imparts
| Some Important Information.
Fly-fshing is supposed to be so diff
cult of mastery that many are deferred
from mourning the expense of an outfit
which is of no use in ordinary angling.
But let the veteran fisherman saw his
own words:
"There is secret in fishing for trout
with the artificial fly, but it can be
learned in half an hour by man who
has no prejudices and keeps his eyes
open. | do not say all will succeed
equally well, but any man who has
'gumption' and will take these hints
can't help catching fish, and he may
fish all day, if he goes about the bisi-
ness according to his own notions, and
not get a single rise for his trouble.
"First of all get the highest rod you
can. If it is we'll balanced and has got
the spring it is good enough. Don't
bother with a lot of flies and use only
one on the line at a time. Here are
four flies that will serve all purposes.
One is the red spinner; the second is
the black gnat; the third is the coach
man; the fourth and boss OF them all
is the red Palmer or red hackle, as it
is indifferently termed.
"Now for the secret. Take the red
hackle as the standard and you will
understand. If you throw it out and
just drag it along the top of the water,
as most people do, what do you sup
pose a trout will take it for? Why,
just for what it is-a bunch of hair. no
more, no less. You drag it along and
the hairs close on the shank of the
hook; it is just a dead mass, not re-
sembling fly, or caterpillar, or any
thing else. But suppose, instead Of
this, you work your wrist very gently
up and down, SO as to let the elastic
hairs of the hackle expand and close
with the stream, what then? Why,
the thing looks alive, looks like a
drowning insect, and the trout goes
for it directly. It is the same with
winged flies exactly. There is no use
having wings to fly if you simply
drag it through the water in one direc-
ton.
"Just one hint more," he said to the
reporter. IF trout goes for your
fly, don't strike with your arm as if
you meant to knock a mans head off
with a club or slug ball for three
bases. just turn your wrist sharply
and on the instant, for the trout blows
out the fly directly he finds what it is,
and it doesn't take him half second
to do it. Fish up stream, use one hy,
and that a red hackle. work your nv
in the water to make it look alive. and
you will fill basket while your neigh
bors are firing their hearts and souls
out and catching nothing.
"Let me say, too, that you can't
throw fly too lightly on the water.
To do this you must keep your body
still, throw with the arm, and the arm
only, letting the spring of the rod do
the last part OF the cast In this way
the fly is made to fall frst--which is
every thing. Watch a novice and YOU
will cease to wonder why he never
