Recuperating Horses.

1t will be found that the horses which
have steady and constant work are the
ones which stand the hot weather best.
Spasmodic work is worse on horses in sum-
mer than in winter. although it is hard
enough ON them at any season of the year.
A team that is in the pasture-feld one day
and ON the pillow or on the road the next
will be found soft and unable to withstand
the harder labor as well as if given some
thing to do every day. The idea of resting
up horses is often an erroneous one, and
generally works more injury than it does
good. A lay-off of few days from hard
work does horse but little good. The
best way to recuperate a jaded animal is
to tighten the work little each day. 1t
is much better than to keep it entirely from
work for while and then start in to do as
much work each day as usual The most
enduring horses are those which are kept
constantly moving, never over-taxed, and
given good care while at work,

The King of Greece.

King Georgios Is one of the finest look
ing monarchS of Europe, writes Frank c..
Carpenter. He is about five feet ten
inches In height, Is straight, we'll formed
and slender, and his blonde head is well
set on a pair of broad shoulders. He has
a high forehead, bright, open, honest eyes
and long blonde mustache shows out
over a well cut mouth. He is A years old,
but he looks ten years younger. The
Greeks pride themselves upon being the
most democratic people in Europe, and
there is no more democratic ruler than
their King. He extended his hand to
me with more cordiality than does Pres
ident Harrison to one of his constituents
from wayback, and he put me thoroughly at
my ease. His first question showed me
that he keeps himself well posted on Ameri-
can politics and American matters He
asked me if had attended the Washington
centennial celebration at New York and
expressed some surprise that an American
could miss such a stirring occasion. He
referred to the American school which is
now in existence in Athens and compli-
mented it highly. He told me that moth
ing had as yet been decided as to the ex-
cavations at Delphi, but said that Min
lister Fearn was very anxious that they be
made by Americans. Upon my referring
to Mycenae and the wonderful excavations
of DR.. Schliemann he replied that there
was still much room for excavation at that
point and told me that it was impossible
to appreci ate the ruins which are still bur
led Throughout Greece. | spoke of the new
allroads, and of the Isthmus of Corinth
and the King seemed to think there woulC
be no doubt of their completion, and thai
the march OF Greece would be steadily on
ward. He spoke highly of the patriotism
of the Greeks and told me that most O.
the fine buildings of modern Athens hae

What Century Has Done for Paris.

The difference between the Paris of 1889,
and the Paris of 1889, says Frederic Harri-
son is enormous; but it is very far from
true that the whole difference is gain.
Much has been gained in convenience,
health and brilliancy; much has been lost
in beauty, variety and historical tradition.
To the uncultured votary of amusement
the whole of the change represents pro-
greSs; to the artist, the antiquarian and
the sentimentalist it represents havoc,
waste and bad taste 1t would be well if
the tens of thousands who delight in the
boulevards, gardens and sunny bridges of
to-day would now and then cast a thought
upon the priceless works of art, the his
torical remains and the picturesque charm
which the new Paris has swept away
Churches and towers, incrusted ulptures
of the 18th, 14th and 18th centuries, rare
inimitable nrecoverable wonders of skill
and feeling, have been swallowed up
wholesale in the modern Improvements. J"
Sixteen churches have disappeared from
the Cite alone: four of them and ten streets
have been carried away to make the site of
q single hospital. Where is the abbey of
st. Victor, of St. German, of Ste. Gene
We've, and the Cour DIES Complies, and the
churches of st. Andre, st. Jacques de la
Bouclerie, Saints Innocents. St. Jean, and
St. Paul? Where are the turrets of Saint
Louis, and Etienne Marcel, and Philip the
Fair? Where are the quaint passages and
fantastic gables preserved for US only by
Meryon, Gavarni and Gustave Dore?

Americans Killed.

WAsHINGToN.-A cable dispatch has
been received at the Department of State
from Consul Allen, at Kingston, Jamaica,
saying that a riot occurred at Navassa, an
island in the Caribbean Sea, in which a
number of Americans were killed. The
Consul says that at his request a British
war-ship has left Jamaica for the scene
Immediately upon receipt of the news of
the trouble. The dispatch contained no
further information. 1t is learned at the
Navy Department that the United States
steamship Galena is now on her way to
Navassa and will probably arrive there to-
morrow. She was at st. Nichols Mole,
Hayti, when news of the riot was received
at Washington, and was at once ordered
to Navassa This island is under no par
ticular jurisdiction, but is regarded as
under the protection of the United States.
1t is said to be owned by Americans, of
which General Butler is a member. 1t is
about $50 miles from Kingston, and is
known as a guano island.

FARM, HOME And GARDEN
THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME
BURNEsToN LANE.


The wheels of the world go round and round,
In the press of busy throng
Morn with Its matin melody.
And night with its vesper song:
The tides are out and the tides are in
Like the sea in Its ebb and fiow
For there's always one TO stay at home
Where there is one to 90.
Abroad on the highways noisy track,
There is rush of hurrying feet.
The sparks fly out from the wheels of Time
To brighten the bitter and sweet:
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow,
There is always one TO stay at home
Where there is one to go
Over and over goOd-byes are said,
In tests that die with the day,
When eyes are wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away:
Smiles that are worn as over grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one 10 gol
Always one for the little tasks
Of day that is never done:
Always one TO sit down at night
And watch the stars alone,
And he who fights on the worlds broad field,
With banner and blast and drum,
Little dreams of battle gained
BY the one who STAYS at home!

GOODBYE.
BY ADELAIDE ADDISON.

Goodbye, In this sad, changing world
Full oft that word is spoken:
Lips blanch, hearts break, hands reach in vail
For some returning token.
Goodbye, sweetheart Our eyes are wet,
But we will smile tomorrow.
A fieeting fancy's parting pain.
Holds naught of real sorrow.
Goodbye, false onei The gloomy brow.
The angle tear-drops, starting.
Reveal the bitterness of hearts
In sudden rashness parting.
Darling, good-bye We liRger yet
So short space TO sever
But ah, we love so fondly well.
An hour seems forever.
Goodbye, belov'di She hears thee not:
She heeds not thine enueatihg
Peace, breaking hearti For love like this
Remains another meeting.
Goodbye, old earth! Soon we shall reach
A city with foundations.
Our hearts are with our treasures there:
Heaven hath no separations.

Her Tears Were Frozen.

They had both lost their husbands one
was widow of so, the other about %.
The elder one called upon the younger one
to condole with her, and they wept upon
one another's necks and recalled the mer-
its of the dear deceased. 1t was astonish-
ing how much the old husband and the
young one had been alike In their dispo-
sition and character least they both
saw distinct resemblance In every point.
Which shows that matrimony does not real
ly change man, nor age either-when he
is dead. But they had most delightful
time until the young one, putting her
arms around the old ones neck, sobbed
through her tears:
Il know it is selfish for me to say so
much about my own sorrow. But really
do feel that it is much worse for you than
for me- l don't know how | would have
felt if this had happened to me when I
was your age and had no chance of getting
another. =
The tears froze suddenly and the old one
does not speak as she passes by.

The Value of Liberal Feeding.

Hoard s Dalryman.
There is a vast number of farmers who
keep herds of cows and who depend upon
their milk for the chief part of their rev
enue, yet who steadfastly pursue a plan
of stingy feeding. 1t is the stingiest thing
In the world, this stinginess toward the
cow.
They will feed their horses and hogs
literally, yet half starve their cows; and
yet they will look you squarely in the eye
and tell you coolly that they keep COWS not
for fun but to make money out of them
We once heard of a man who had a good
stout team of horses, but they were doing
a heavy springs work The man was
extremely greedy and like all such men
beat himself at his own game. He wanted
to make some more money out of that
team and so after each feed of grain he
would slip into the stall and fIch out part
of the grain that the hired man had fed
them. The team grew poorer every day,
and yet the owner thought he was making
money by stealing the oats away from the
team that was doing his blowing.
Pharaoh grew so unreasonably greedy
that he commanded the Israelites to make
bricks, and would furnish no straw.
These are but types of the farmer who is
silly enough to expect cow to give milk
enough to be profitable, without being
kept up to a full supply of feed, every
day.
Do they ever think or read or talk with
intelligent dairymen? Evidently not.
