! And the wasps and flies took their late vaca
! ton seasons in buzzing over the festoons
aforesaid, and sucking up such juices as the
sun had left in the remains of the fruit
In large families, where an extra supply OF
pie making substance was needed, 1t was the
custom every fall to have "apple bees" OF
apple parings, as they are sometimes called.
A fine evening in September or October
was selected, and all the young people in the
neighborhood were invited to be present.
Care was exercised not to pass over any Ole
in giving the invitations, for it was a terrible
slight" to be left out of a merry making OF
that kind
The big kitchen was the place of operation.
All the tubs and baskets in the house were
filled with apples yellow, and apples red, and
the young men who owned pairing machines
We're out in force, each one anxious to Guido
the other, and thus gain favor in the eyes of
the admiring young girls who did the coring
and the strlnglng.
What merry company it was! How the
laugh and joke and song rang out, and the
machines whizzed of the curly parings and
sent them spinning over the big table, and
the girls threw them over their shoulders,
and looked blushingly back to see if they had
assumed the form of the first letter Of the
name of their favorite young man.
And when the tubs and baskets had been
emptied, and the strings Of apples hung from
the frames, all ready to be given to the fin
ishing process of the sun and wind, in the
evening, everything was cleared away. and
the table was spread with feast fit for a
king, and the hostess dealt out the baked
beans and Indian pudding with lavish
hand, and each young man waited on his
best girl, and paid her compliments while he
passed the doughnuts, and looked love into
her eyes while he held the slippery pumpkin
pie plate for her to divide the piecs for them
both, and when he saw the blush on her
cheek, and felt the touch of her soft fingers
on his hand as she passed him the pie he
couldn't tell whether he was eating nectar or
sole leather-and, what was more, he didn't
care
And when the supper was over, and the
old time games Of blind mans buff, and Co
penhagen, and hunt the slipper, were in full
blast, how the winged hours few by, and no
body noticed that it was long past midnight
before the gay jewellers separated, and took
their way homeward by the light of the
moon.
were lost, and hearts were found; barrels of
dried apples were given to the world, and
busy home wives surveyed with pride the re-
suits of the evenings labors, as displayed
next morning on the frames hung up in every
available place where the sun would be likely
to fall.
And when winter came and the fruits of
the summer were all gone, and the custard
and the mince pie had palled ON their taste,
the dried apple came manfully to the front,
and having been slowed, and sweetened, and
spiced, and put between the layers Of crust,
it was baked; and If a man had good cour-
age, and good teeth, and faith in an overrul-
ing Providence, which was bound to see him
safely through under any circumstances, he
might manage to worry down a piece o. that

THE ENCHANTED WOOD.

THE ENCHANTED WOOD.
AS from the outer world you pass
Just where the forest skirts the plain
An open book lies on the grass,
And there for years untouched has lain.
The leaves are yellow now with age,
But one may read in letters free,
As the wind turns the ragged page,
The blotted name-Philosophy
IT'S said student one day stood
Outside the bounds, when on him fell
The mystic power of that wood,
And love cast over him a spell.
Then long he strove to enter there;
But guardian spirits in array
Prevented him, until despair
Had made him throw the book away.
And then, when he at length had cast
The stern Philosophy aside,
Love babe him enter-held him fast
As conqueror Of Self and Pride.
And how in dim. enchanted hooks,
Ruled by a love that never fails,
He seeks not sympathy of books
Love whispers to him fairy tales.
Outside swept by the wind and rain,
Philosophy urcared for, lies;
1t cannot enter Loves domain;
1t was not meant for paradise.

Do Something With Life.

To tell the truth. can't help think
ing that we already talk too much
about the novel. about and around it,
in proportion to the quantity of it
having any Importance that we pro-
duce. What 1 should say to the
nymphs and SWANS who propose to
converse about it under the great
trees at Deerfeld, is: ''Oh, do some
thing from your point of view; an
ounce of example is worth a ton of
generalties; do something with the
great art and form; do something
with life. Any point of view is inter-
esting that gives a direct impression of
life. You each have an impression
colored by your individual condition;
make that into a picture. a picture
framed by your own personal wisdom.
your glimpse of the American world.
The field is vast for freedom. for
study. for observation, for satire. for
truth" don't think really do know
what you mean by ''materializing ten
denotes" any more than l should by
.spiritualizing" or 'etherealizing. :"
There are no tendencies worth any
thing but to see the actual or
imaginative. which is just as visible.
and to paint it. have only two little
words for the matter remotely ap-
preaching to rule or doctrine; one is
life and the other freedom.-Henry

COLTS AND CALVES.
Some of the Advantages of Having Them
Come in the Fall.

Some OF the Advantages of Having Then
Come in the Fall.
For growing stock grass is recog-
nized as one of the cheapest and best
of feeds. Not that it is in all cases a
complete food, but during the growing
season it can be used to good advan-
tage as principal food. And in the
management of the farm stock it is
quite an item to get the largest
amount of benefit from the grass,
either by pasturing or soiling.
Calves and colts, in the first few
months of their existence. must de-
pend almost. if not wholly, upon milk.
It matters little during this time
to them, at least, whether their dams
are pastured upon grass or fed hay
and grain in the stable, provided the
quantity and quality are such as to
enable them to furnish full supply
of milk. But when they are ready to
wean then it becomes a question of
considerable interest. as they will
grow and develop. usually, in proper
ton to the quality and quantity of the
food supplied.
One of the principal advantages in
having the colts and calves come in
the fall rather than in the spring is
that, by the time they are ready to
wean in the spring, the grass will have
made a sufficient growth to furnish
considerable food. and they will be
able to make their first six months
growth. after weaving. upon grass
rather than upon dry hay or fodder
and grain. In. counting the cost
of preparing an animal for
market. the period of weaving
is usually considered the proper time
for beginning the account. and in a
majority of cases it will lessen the
cost considerably if grass can be made
the principal food for the first six
months. With the cows another item
can be added. Whether marketed as
milk or made into butter the milk is
of more value during the winter than
in the summer: and. after calving. the
cows will give the largest quantity OF
milk, at least for five to six months.
and this can be secured with little. ii
any more expense. during the winter
than in the summer.
% lar dS pOSS1Ole I'LL the StOck On
the farm should be kept in a good
thrifty condition, and if this is done
the cost of feeding is but little, if any,
more during the winter. whether a
large or a small quantity of milk is
supplied.
With the brood mares it is usually
expected that enough work can be
done by them to pay at least for their
keep. and yet it is an item to get this
work at time when it can be used to
the best advantage. On most farms
this will be found to be in the spring.
when the work of seeding and plant
ing. as well as of cultivating is gen
orally most pressing. And by having
the colts come in the fall more work.
with less risk. can be secured than II
they come in the spring. and in addi-
ton there is better food for their
growth and development after wean-

STEPHEN ARNOLD DOUGLAS,
Born Brandon, VT, April IL. 1913
Died Chicago, Ill, June 3, 1861.

1.-The pall-bearers numbered sixty
four, and were chosen from among the
most distinguished citizens of the
State.
1.-The most important funeral event
Chicago ever witnessed was the obse-
quies of Lincoln May 1, 1865. when
two days were practically given up to
the ceremonies, and during which time
no business was done. The city was
draped in mourning, and its citizens
turned out en- masse to pay the last
hOnors to the martyred President.
The remains arrived over the Michi-
gan Central on the morning of the 1st
of May and were received at the depot
by the committee. the pail bearers and
the procession in line. The pall-bear-
ers were Lyman Trumbull, F. G. Sher-
man, John Wentworth, Thomas Drum
mond, E. G. Larned. John Young
Scammond. J. Russell Jones, F. A.
Hoffman, Nj. w. Fuller and T. B.
Bryan. The remains were placed
upon a magnificent catafalque, and
this, drawn by ten black horses, was
followed by lengthy procession con-
tanning nVo divisions.
Asked what he thought of the mod
ern funeral, a prominent clergyman
said:
'In all civilized countries there pre-
walls among surviving friends desire
to decently bury their dead. This is
as it ought to be, and is feeling that
will doubtless continue to exist.
Among certain classes. however. there
prevails what we might call an exag-
gerated idea of what is due to departed
friends. No expense is spared to turn
out what is termed a respectable
funeral which in too many cases tells
sadly upon the means of the we'll
meaning but foolish persons involved.
Pomp and show far beyond what is re-
quired. or. indeed. what is seemly.
take the place of what ought to be an
orderly conducted ceremony. A cost
ly array of carriages and a needlessly-
incurred cost for funeral trappings in
volve the victims to an extent which.
though ignored at the time. too fire.
quently cripple the family resources.
The practice should also be remon.
strated against of interring bodies in
metal Or strongly-constructed OAK
caskets. The practice is not only
costly. but positively mischievous in
retarding dissolution into that dust
which is the universal doom and priv.
ilege."-Chicago Journal

A Runaway Locomotive.

There was startling experience
with a runaway locomotive in Balti-
more recently. It had been allowed
to stand in the way of an express
train. and when the engineer in charge
of it saw the latter coming. he and his
fireman leaped after he had reversed
the engine and opened the throttle.
The engine darted off at terrific speed.
and was only stopped by switch
mans turning it into some cars on a
siding. All sorts of reports prevailed
with reference to loss of life; yet. sim
gularly enough. though passing
through three crowded stations,
through tunnels and along an open
street, no one was injured. The dam
age was about forty thousand dollars.
