Third Prize
TO THE CARRIER BOYS.

BY MRS S. L. MORRILL,.
mused what is the carriers fate?
Is ii riding early and riding late?
Flying along DER hill and dale,
Through rain and shine and wind and haili
He is speeding along with all his might,
And in his hand he carries The LIGHT.
Hail to thee, brave carrier boy,
For in your hand you carry a joy:
A torch to light the darkest night.
Our daily guest, THE SlNTONE LIGHT.
AS he crossed the river his eye grew mild,
For he lov'd that river rs the mother her child;
drew me near to hear him repeat,
This gem to the river so subtle and sweet.
Gently flow thou smiling river.
Laughing in the nOontide sun.
Lingering as the mOOnbeams culver,
On thy waters as they run;
Happy river quiet river.
May my life be like thee ever.
On thy banks historic river
Song birds build and sing Of thee,
Waving willows sing Tedeum
As they swing upon the tree,
Cleaning river, lovely river,
How | love thy music ever.
Water lilies grace thy bosom,
Fairy ferns are at thy side.
ArchiDg bridges span thy waters,
Airy boats upon thee glide
Day dreams float away forever
With thy rpples silent river.
gaze upon thee mystic river
And muse up n the long ago,
Dids't thou cheer the heart of many
Heroes of the Alamo?
San Antonio, faithful river,
drink of thee and bless the giver.
Farewell to thee brave carrier boy
| give thee honor and wish thee joy,
May happiness guild rhy coming days
With bonny wee wife and the public's praise.

AMERICAN RAZORS.
A st. Louis Barber Talks About the Chief
Implement of His Trade.

A st. Louis Barber Talks About the Chief
Implement of His Trade.
American manufacturers have sue
ceeded in rivaling European cutters in
nearly every branch, but they have
failed to make any serious inroads into
the razor business. Several Eastern
houses have tried to make razors, but
one by one they have dropped out of
the business, till to-day there are very
few remaining. and in spite of the tariff
fully nine-tenths of the razors sold in
this country are made in Europe.
People who are smart" suppose that
the words Sheffield, England, etched
on razor blades are often put there by
American houses, but this is not the
case. There is very popular razor
now on the market and named after a
famous United States military college,
which is a mystery, and not one man
in fifty who handles it knows where or
by whom it is made. The great pro-
portion of imported razors are from
England, though the Germans are max
ing inroads on the Sheffield trade, as
they are much better concavers and
their steel is quite as good. Very
small razors are 4 fad with some people,
but a popular size is the five-eights of
an inch blade. In the West three
fourths or seven-eights used to be most
in demand, but now these are mostly
considered clumsy. Strange to say,
the West has advanced more rapidly
in this respect than the East. and even
now in Pennsylvania there is a demand
for blades one inch and one and one
fourth inches wide. BARRIERS have a
preference for very thin blades. and as
they know how to keep these in order,
they can do good work with them. But
the man who shaves himself. especially
if he is heayy-handed, had better use a
fairly thick blade. Otherwise he will
damage his razor in less than a month
and the skin on his face and chin in
less than a week.-St. Louis Globe

GOODBYE.

Soft falls the moonlights silvery rays,
Glistening-the crest of the wavelets dancing
Fair is the maid, by the shore, who strays,
Gladness and hope from her blue eyes glancing
Now, she is nearing the trysting tree,
Soon her true love she's fondly greeting.
Little she thinks as the moments flee,
This is to be their farewell meeting
Sad would the heart be, oh, bitter the sigh,
Could we know when we're bidding last good
bye.
No longer the moonbeams gld the tide,
Athwart the sky is the lightning cleaning.
The youth has sailed from his promised bride
Safe in her home she is sweety dreaming,
No dread forebodings disturb her sleep;
Peaceful she rests on her snowy pillow;
Her love the while. where the surges sweep,
Lies cold and still meath the foaming billow.
Sad would the heart be, oh, bitter the sigh
Could we know hen we're bidding a last good.
bye.
AL through our lives we are dropping friends,
Bidding goodbye without thought of grieving,
And dark the shadow each parting lends
To the end oflife we are deity weaving;
In that land Of light where now shadows rest,
Llfe's end complete, aud our labors ended,
We shall find our lives had not been blest
Had the shadows ne'er with the sunshine
blended.
An, grieve not. dear friend have no bitter sigh :;
To the faithful and true there is no goodbye.

SCREENS FOR ORCHARDS.
A Great Many CultivatOrs Have Found
Them a Positive Benefit.

A Great Many Cultivators Have Found
Them Positive Benefit.
The recently issued bulletin of the
Agricultural Experiment Station OF
Cornell University on timber screens.
gives the experience of large number
of orchardists on the value of such
screens. and of the objections which
have been found to them. Prof. l.. H.
Bailey. under whose charge this infor-
nation has been collected, addressed
three hundred circulars to leading
fruit growers in New York and Michi-
gan, and received seventy-five replies.
AS with many other questions, the OPP
posing views are controlled by adverse
conditions. We observe that the
opinions of those who are opposed to
the use of screens have in nearly all
cases founded their objections from
woods or forests, near which the or
chards were planted, their double or
triple height to common screens shad-
ing the orchards to greater distance,
preventing fair circulation of air.
and affording larger shield for the
/
increase of insects. In other cases the
shelter of valleys or the protection OF
hills has not only rende I'd such screens
unnecessary, but the screens have OPP
Grated injuriously as already stated.
But with these exceptions taken into
consideration, the great majority Of
cultivators have found the screens a
| positive benefit. One finds them ''of
vast importance;" another states that
they afford Increased crops" another
that they prevent windfalls;" others
find small fruits "several days earlier
near windbreaks;'' others state that
the 'trees stand straighter;" the
screens "retain snow, and shield the
roots;" protect from cold winds
especially in poisoning time;" and
large number find the screens valuable
in preventing the fruit from being
blown off or the trees broken. In
localities exposed to the sweep Of
strong winds they are obviously useful.
1t should be remembered that the
orchard trees should not stand close
under the shade of the screen, and
should stand beyond the extension of
the roots.-Country Gentlemen.
