Down comes the snow, whirling, dancing an
white,
Gently 1t falls from the pure realms Of light
What beautiful fiskelets dance to and fro,
On hill top and valley falls the light snow
Hurrsh for the snow the school boy cries out
His comrades join in glorious shout.
Look from your window, and see If you will,
How swiftly on sleds they glide down the hill.
Hurrah for the snow What fun it foretells
How merrily jingle the old sleigh bells
II over they 60, all in a tumble,
The youngsters laugh, and never will grumble
On the walk they slide-that is scarcely right,
1t makes the traveller fall, gives him fright
Bones break perchance, or blow on the head
Follows the slippery path of the sled.
We like to see you jolly. young men and boys,
We would not curtail cen one Of your joys;
But is 1t right such brief pleasures to gain,
By giving to others sorrow and pain
o find ye hill in some lonely place,
Where you can coast without harm to our race
So the aged can walk, though feebly and slow,
In the path that is made in the beautiful snow.

THE SIXTH CALLED SESSION.

Many years elapsed before another
called session was deemed necessary,
The administrations OF Monroe, Johr
Quincy Adams and Jackson parsed
without any deviation from the regular
course Of Congress. But when the panic
of 1887 came President Van Buren, con-
vened Congress in extra session the All
of September in order to consider what
measures could be devised for relief.
This was the first session If the Twenty
fifth Congress, James K. Polk OF Ten
nessee, Speaker. The session lasted
from September to October 10 and
was wholly devoted to tie consideration
OF the financial crisis. One of the CHIEF
topics was the Sub-Treafury 81 stem.
The banks suspended specie payments
there was universal panic and distress,
and the specie circular was rescinded by
Congress.

THE FOURTH CALLED SESSION.

The controversy with Great Britain
was not, however, to be ended without
war, and President Madison, in July ,
1911, found it necessary to convene Con
gress in advance of the usual tine. The
Twelfth Congress was convened in spec
ial session on November 4, 1911, Henry
Clay of Kentucky being Speaker. Wal
with Great Britain was then deemed in
evitable, and President Madison sought
to have supplies voted in OF der that the
vacancies in the army could be filled
and authority secured to recruit addi-
tional men, He was authorized TO call
for 25, 900 volunteers, and an embargo
for sixty days was declared on April 4,
1912 and war was declared against Eng.
land on June 10.

Words written are judged by the

ear. The eye has only the itself to
Judge from. The ear has the tone OF
voice as more important element of
judgment than the word itself. As a
means of influencing the reason. the
written word has its advantages. As
a means of swaying the feelings it is
the spoken word that has chief power.
In the ordinary intercourse of life it is
not so much what is said as how it is
said that settles the question OF what

GROWING MillET.
Valuable Appendix Crop for the siIo and
the Hay-Mow.

the Hay-Mow.
One great advantage In growing
| nillet is that it may be sown as late
as June in our Northern latitude, and
be sure to mature before frost This
remark applies to the common millet.
The coarse or broad-leaved millet,
called German millet, requires from
! ten days to two weeks longer to ripen.
The common millet will ripen its seed
within one hundred days after being
sown. In rinety days. or perhaps less.
it will be sufficiently matured to cut
for hay. The ground should be we'll
narrowed and made fine so that the
seeds will terminate well and not be
destroyed if lying under clods and
Jumps of earth. 1t is an excellent
plan. if the land is not fine, to roll it
, before the seed is sown and then to
cover it with brush or light harrow,
! and roll it again. The seed should not
be put il, in this way, if the ground is
wet and liable to pack or become
crusted. The seeds sends up tiny
shoot and il must not be INSTRUCTED in
its growth or the crop will be reduced.
The seed will grow well if sown on top
of the ground and left to be covered
by rain. and when a rain falls on it
soon after it has been sOwn this is an
excellent plan. II the seed is covered
too deep there will be a great loss. A
very little manure will give the crop
fine start, If it is put upon the surface.
For these reasons commercial manures
can be used TO advantage. SOW this

its seed and used il for chicken feed

but it is unwise TO grow millet in the
way best adapted for this purpose as
the forage will not then be nearly so
valuable. i am sure that when the
seed is allowed TO ripen. the amount
of digestible nutriment in the forage
is reduced one-half. 1t makes very

and have it mature sufficiently for hay.
A profitable change can be made with

LEGEND OF MARCOLINf.
4 Curious Ceremony Observed in Oh,
Courts of Venice.


In the courts of Venice a curious
custom has been observed for five
hundred years. When the Council of
Ten, body of men acting as a jury,
brings in a sentence of death, before
the presiding judge puts on the black
cap the venerable crier advances and
cries three times in loud voice; RE
cordatevi del povera Marcolini Near
the grand landing place of the gon-
dolas are the columns of Saint Mark
and Saint Theodore. Nearly all the
people passing the grand landing place
pass around the columns. Only for
eigners and strangers pass between the
two slender pillars. 1t is the ancient
place of execution. and there Mar
colini met his death. Many years ago
Marcolini, a young Venetian noble,
paid court to the beautiful Giulietta,
whose family occupied palace on the
same square. One night as the dial on
the clock tower marked the early
morning hour he was returning home
from visit to his inamorata, softly
singing in the eXuberance of his spirits,
for he had been accepted, and the par
ents of his fiancee had given consent to
their nuptials. Passing across small
campo he picked up an embroidered
belt. with an empty ieweled scabbard.
and fastening the girdle around him,
he continued his course, still humming
his tune. When he came to the stepsp
the Rialto he was seized by the
guard and accused of murder. He
was taken to the spot where Senator
Rinaldi lay dead with dagger in his
heart. 1t was found that the stiletto
exactly fitted the sheath which Mar
colini carried. He was speedily tired,
condemned and beheaded. Giulietta
went mad and was confined on the lit
tie island devoted to the insane. Many
years after bandit on his death-bed
confessed to priest that he had been
hired to murder the Senator The
sentence against Marcolini was re-
versed and his confiscated estates were
restored to his family. But poor Giu-
letta's reason could not be restored by
an edict of law. When the Judge who
condemned Marcolini came to die he
provided in his will that mass should
be sung every night forever in a chapel
OF the ducal church. St. Marks, for
the soul of Marcolini and others who
had suffered from unjust judgments.

READY I'M ANSWER.


Meeting" John Allen.
''Camp-meeting" John Allen was al
ways ready with retort for friend or
foe, sometimes scathing. and always
humorous. After his conversion he
met an old minister who piled him
with searching questions of the genu-
ineness of his experience, and the
young man complained of the severity
of this catechism.
.'If the tree be well-rooted." said
the minister, "it will not be harmed il
we shake it."
But" said the convert. 1.-The Mas.
ter said to His disciples: Feed my
lambs not Go and shake them"
At another time when Mr.. Allen was
about to begin his sermon in a new
place, former pastor said to him:
"Are you long preacher"
Five feet. seven inches" was the
immediate reply.
At a meeting of ministers Baptist
was invited to give his views on the
subject of Methodist economy, and at
once rose. saying that, although there
were many excellent things in Meth
odism. it seemed toshim TO have too
much machinery.
Mr.. Allen was on his feet in a mo-
ment.
1.-The Methodist Church may have
more machinery than the Baptist" he
replied. ''but it doesn't require a.
much water to run il.
When the question of prohibition
was under general discussion, a red
faced topper one day said to Mr.. Allen:
'I shall vote against you on this ques-
ton"
Your face voted before you spoke, {"
was the quick reply.
A lawyer of opposite politics said to
him, about the same time: MIR. Allen,
on which side are you going to vote?
for hall vote against YOU"
''On the right side" was the answer.
(Which side is yOurs?"
One morning at a Methodist camp
meeting young man arose. and said,
pompously; 81 do not believe in sing
ing, oh, to be nothing propose to
be something, and l want people to
know it."
Brother Allen instantly rose aud re-
