have learned a beautiful lesson,
Taught by the swegtpease standing there,
Those little clouds of sunset glory
Caught ont Of time ia morning eir.
You see their fragrant blossoms nodding
Purple, crimson and pale rose blush.
On slender stems too slight to bear thcm
Without the helping hidden brush.
To its brown arms SO strong aud trusty,
The little tendrils cleave and cling.
The vine, unheld. In dust wore lying.
A fallen, bruised and fowerless thin ~
And yet the brush itself was barren.
Unquickcned at the summers kiss;
II bore no scent or sign of blossom,
But now il blooms again like this
think It must forget the sadness
OF ts own broken life md glow
With love FOR all the warmth and sunshine
That makes the esweetpease bud and blow
II may seem but a dreary failure,
Deadened and storm tossed, dullod wit
strife;
But it has helped TO bear the blossoms
That crown another, fairer life.

yhere cen. Grant DIed.


While at Mount McGregor | visited
the Grant cottage. It is in the same
condition now as it was whom Grant
died The same furniture stands in the
same places and the tallow candle half
burned down to the socket stands on the
table, besides the two great armchairs
in which he breathed away his last
hours. Pieces of his last writing, con-
sisting of slips from his pad, are shown.
and there is a tail, fine looking soldier in
uniform who sleeps in the cottage and
takes care of the relics. There are, on
the average about "a, 900 visitors year
now, and many pathetic incidents occur.
Nearly every one that comes wants to
take away some memento of the place,
and many pick up the gravel Of the walk
around the house, supposing that they
are carrying off stones troddcn by the
foot of Grant
The truth is that this gravel has to be
renewed every month on account Of
these relic hunters, and the stones they
carry away have never seen Grant Mr..
Arkell, who owns the mountain, tells
me he was offered $35, 900 for the cot
tage, and that the men who offered this
were western men. who said they wanted
to cut mp the cottage and sell it for relics
The probability is that they would have
taken il to pieces, have carried it off to
Chicago and shown it there at the expo

The Big Desert Can Be Reclaimed

NJ J. Dybowsld ridicules the popular
notion that the Sahara consists largely of
shifting sands and contends that this hot
region might be colonized and utilized
for agricultural purposes All that it
needs is water; and the main drift of M.
DybowslSi's communication is to show
how abundant this is at small depths be-
low the surface. In many parts palms,
when once planted, can reach it with
their roots. In others very shallow ar
tesiau wells suffice, and the water flows
continuously. He advocates system OF
irrigation from artesian wells, and, as a
proof of the abundance of water, men
tions one such well that yields over a
thousand gallons per minute. When
once palms are established the whole
aspect is changed by rich vegetation that
grows around them.

FARMERS BUILDINGS WORTH MORE TIL

4 ="
| LAND.
The farmer is apt to cry out against
what he calls the injustice of exempt
ing the magnificent buildings, some
times erected in cities, from all taxation,
forgetting that such building always
stand upon the most expensive land,
while his own farm house and barns
stand upon land of utterly insignificant
value. In adjusting taxation, the only
question of Importance is as to the rela.
tive proportion which will be borne
by different classes; and it is of no i'm.
portance whatever that any single piecs
OF property should pay much or little,
provided all other properties of the
same kind pay in exact proportion with
1t. A farm house, costing $500 ia
build, will stand upon piece of land
which, including the surrounding
garden, on an ample scale, would not
be worth more than SIS. But an aver.
age city house, costing $40, 900 to build,
will stand upon lot worth at least
IS, 900; while warehouse, costing $50.
900 to build, will frequently stand upon
. lot worth $4,000. So far, therefore,
as the mere value of the land which il
required for the purpose of supporting
the house or building OF any kind il
concerned, the farmer would gain
largely by concentrating taxes upon
that and exempting all buildings. But
he holds, in addition to the land up-
ON which his house stands. q number OF
acres, which he uses for farming pur.
poses, and he assumes that these will
be heavily taxed under system OF
taxation upon land values alone, and
that thus larger proportion of the bur
den will be thrown upon him. This is
an entire mistake. When buildings are
exempt from taxation, all other i'm
provements on the land must also be
exempted; and the result of this would
be to assess improved farm lands at nd
higher value than perfectly wild, un.
cultivated land, in the same Immediate
vicinity. All touces, all growing crops,
all improvements of every kind, would
be left out of account; and his land
would be assessed only at the value
which it would bring, II it had been
just swept clean by . prairie fire. Very
little consideration is required to en-.
able any one to see that, under such o
rule Of assessment, the taxes levied up.
on farms would be much less, in pro-
portion to those levied upon town lots,
than they are to-day, and that such a
change in the methods OF assessment
and taxation would result in lessenine
