a gentleman riding along a country
road after n heavy rainfall, came to q
rickety old cart and a horse to match
the vehicle stuck fast in the mud. The
driver was an elderly negro; by his side
sat his wife, and behind them were seven
or eight little pickaninnies of all nges.
All were decked out in n great variety
of faded and second hand finery, but all
were barefooted.
The man stood up and belabored the
poot old horse, urging it on TO the i'm
possible task of pulling the cart out of
the miro.
The horse can't start the wagon while
all of you are in it." said the gentleman.

now about shooting fish which he
found in the rivers and small lakes Of

OF its time doing nothing in tho deem,

becomes hungry it swims slowly down
stream near the surface of tho water.
As soon as it sights Il fly or bug on n
bush or bit of grass at the waters

two or three feet of the insect. Form

parently taking aim with its mouth
about a hairs breadth under water
Then it projects its under law SLIGHTLY
beyond the upper jaw and fires from
the little round aperture thus formed a
drop OF water at the fly or bug. This
drop OF water moves with lightning
"apidity, and invariably hits the insect
at which it is aimed. The insect falls
INTO the water and the fish gobblcs il,

REGRET.

Nlthered and warm, from a little hand
That had gathered their bloom at loves cor

MY absent gaze upon them bent.
Idly l turned them DER and DER.
Ihen dropped their bloom upon the floor:
Butt We lived to weep for that summer ,v
Ana the withered peoples l threw away.
once on my ear a child's voice fell.

ana yet how strange, unheeded oft
Inc words that Piled so sweet and soft,
ohieit the little head that pressed
Around my neck, upon my breast,
now years have passed and borne away
ihe words and looks OF that dear day;
My empty arms l stretch in vain,
but the child will ne'er come back again.
IN, words and tones of bygone years,
How could We fall on careless ears,
why unresponsive were We met,
Sweet loving deedsf Oh vain regret,
Tears can not bring my flowers again.
Nor words of love UNDECIDED then,
Only a look OF sad surprise
And disappointed childish ewes.

dropped from His hand on life's rough way

Origin of indian Corn.

The origin of Indian corn has long
been a mooted question. 1t is now
stated that u native plant of the maize
family has been discovered in Central
America which is probably the original
type of our corn, But instead of bear
ing the "A on a side shoot, it bears it
on top after the manner of n sucker,
and each grain is wrapped in its own
husk, or glume, like the chat of
wheat. The central spike, answering
to the cob of corn, has but two rows
of grains. Otherwise the plant re-
sembles corn nearly exactly, The de-
parturcs from this type are. probably
the result of cultivation. rs our corn,
wrapped in heavy husk, could not
scatter its seed, so us to propagate
itself in II wild state. The local name
of the plant is Teosinte. Albany

A Spir Around the World,

Nellie BLY,, a plucky young lady re-
porter of The New York World, will try
to make the journey arou.d the world in
seventy-6ve days. She left New York
Nov. IA. She expects to report at the
home Office, if nothing happens, Jan. q.
The object of the trip is to see just how
long it will take to go around the world,
with all the improvements of moder
travel, twin screws, compound expansion
engines and improved furnaces. In this
view of the case, her trip will be very
interesting one.
She will cover journey Of 10000
miles, going first to Europe and return
ing by way of San Francisco. The wide
southern dip which must be made, skirt
ing Asia instead of going across it, neces-
sarily causes the journey to be some
days Iongef. When Russia completes
that railway across Siberia, the trip
around the world can be made without
stopping to draw long breath. It will
be something like being shot out of a
cannon, to girdle the globe by the short
est route.
The best wishes of her fellow journal
lists everywhere viii accompany the
brave young woman. Besides her news
paper achievements, she is to be COM
mended above almost all other young
women for one thing-she has perfect
health
