One of the most noteworthy events in the
South during the year 1890 will be the hold
ing of the famous Texas Spring Palace at
Fort Worth, which opens on May 10 and
closes with the ending of the month. "Texas
at Il glance" is the expression often used in
connection with this palace, and it is very
expressive and comprehensive, as the
palace displays to great advantage all the
resources of the "Lone Star State.n The
past twelve months have been the most re-
inarlSable in the history of development in
Texas. Unknown counties have been peo-
pied and new towns and cities have sprung
up almost in day. Great railway systems
have been extended, rich and vast deposits
of iron and coal uncovered cnd worked, and
new and immense industries established.
All the railroads entering the city have
made greatly reduced rates, good for thirty
days. For further information address
B. b. Paddock, President, Fort W orth, Texas.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A GOOD surTER WORKER.

A Good Appliance THAT Any Ono Can
Make.
The work OF butter making Is not so
easy, says Farm and Home, that dairy
men can afford TO do without the best
appliances. Where only small guam
tity of butter is made, however, it may
not pay to invest in an expensive butter
worker. The one shown in our engrav-
ing, If we'll made ut home, will do very
effective work, and do it much more
-apidly than the hands. Hard maple or
oeech or some other close-grained and
tasteless wood will be needed for the
table top and roller. The table on
which the butter is to be worked is al-
most in the shape of a triangle, the
roller being hung at the narrow end.
The roller should be made something
the shape of the housewives rolling-pin.

The Morphine Habit in England.

That the morphine habit among En-
glish women has assumed enormous pro-
portions is evident from the following
comments in the Lady's Pictorial: The
increase of morphine-mauia amongst
women may well fill us with shame for
the folly and weakness of our sex, and
ought to mako us moderate our boasts
about the progress and enlightenment
of the age. Culture is of little use in
deed If it permits its votaries to fall VIC
tins to degrading vice which reduces
them to tho moral level of the poorest
and most ignorant old crone that ever
sough. refuge from her troubles in gin,
and who in lack of food, firing and COM
Portable surroundings, has, indeed, a
hundred times more excuse for her in
trinity than they. / fear that medical
men are, to some extent, responsible
for this pernicious practice by their too
indiscriminate prescription of the in
lection of morphia. They can not too
strictly reserve the insidious remedy for
cases in which life or reason positively
depend upon the securing of rest and re-
lief from pain, and they should assure
themselves that the habit has been alb
solutely discontinued before their at
tendance on the patient ceases.

Harry vanished as quietly as he had come,
and Meta awoke, resolved to save her brother
and restore him to her parents. The ap-
pointed time came. and stealing from the
castle, she went to the oak, and with beat
ing heart waited in its dark shadows for
the appearance of the fairy train. She
could scarcely suppress cry of surprise as
the fairy queen and her subjects came
through the forest. Near the chariot OF
pearl on a white horse rode Harry. Quickly
and silently she went to him, and drawing
him from the horse held him in her arms.
The little elves raised shout of astonish-
ment and wonder; but in spite OF all their
questionings and threats Meta never spoke.
Even when her brother became hideous
serpent in her arms, from whose mouth poured
streams of fame and smoke, she was still
silent and continued to hold him in her low
ing embrace. Finally, the Queen, in sad
voice. called:
Goodbye my little Harry, my fairy king;
your sisters love is stronger than my power;
she has conquered"
The Queen and her train then disappeared,
and Harry and Meta then returned to their
home. That Easter day was celebrated In

DIR. Crosby's Idea of How the Man of Oh
World Would Write Them.

DIR. Crosby's idea of How the Man of Oh
World Would Write Them.
One of the brightest of American divines
is the Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby, of New
York, who has just expressed himself anent
the beatitudes. ''There are eight beati-
tudes, he says, "at the beginning of the
Sermon on the Mount. 1 think they are
placed at the fore front as sort of viguette
or frontispiece, portraits of the complete
man. As we read them over our first
thought is, How utterly unlike the descrip-
ton OF the complete man that the world gen.
orally would give!' If we asked the aver
age man to write eight beatitudes, they
would run somewhat this way:
Blessed are the rich, for they can buy
everything they please. Blessed are the
jolly ones, for they have good time.
Blessed are the powerful. for they have their
own way. Blessed are the smart fellows,
for they come it over the greenhorns.
Blessed are the unfeeling, for they have no
sentimental qualms. Blessed are the lib
eral-minded, for they can enjoy little sins.
Blessed are the strong, for they can knock
down opposition. Blessed are they that get
the worlds praise, for they have an easy
life
II think that the great majority of men
would sign these beatitudes, and then show
their sincerity by doing their best to occupy
the position Of these blessed ones.''

MEASURING DUST,
Results Obtained With n New Apparatus on
the EiffeI Tower.

Results Obtained With n New Apparatus on
the EifIeI Tower.
Newcastle, Eng, Chronicle.l
Mr.. John Aitken reports the results of a
number of tests made with a specially con-
structed apparatus in various parts of the
kingdom as we'll as abroad, to measure the
dust particles in the air. Last year ad-
vantage was taken of the Eiffel Tower to
test the air at great altitude over a large
city. There was considerable variation in
the relative purity of the air on this tower,
the extreme numbers being 226 particles per
cubic centimeter and 104,000 per cubic
centimeter.
About 200 particles per cubic centimeter
is the lowest average yet observed-on the
top of the Rigi and in the wilds of Argy e.
shire-but near villages the number goes up
to thousands, and in cities to hundreds of
thousands. 1t cannot be decided as vet how
much of the dust is of terrestrial and how
much of cosmic origin, formed BY the mill
ions of meteors which daily fall into our
atmosphere, for even in the upper strata
there seems to be dust, as clouds form at
great elevations. The effect of dust on the
transparency of the atmosphere is very
great.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. :

One beautiful spring day many years ago
two children, Harry and Meta, wandered
through the forest surrounding their fathers
castle. The winters SHOWS had but lately
disappeared, and the young grass was
springing up fresh and green. The birds
had returned, making the woods ring with
their greeting to spring. A few vIolets and
snowdrops more brave than the others had
peeped out from their winter home in the
earth, and we're so happy in the warm, soft
air, that they were now urging their timid
sisters to join them.
The next day would be Easter Sabbath,
and great preparations were being made in
the castle and in the village for the reception
OF the Bishop. who was to be present at the
next days services. The children had
slipped away unnoticed from their play
room and, allured by the bright sunshine
and singing birds, wandered deeper and
deeper into the forest. A trumpet sounded
and the beating OF drums was heard. Meta
listened moment, and then cried: ''The
Bishop has arrived. Come, let US run to see
him."

PUNlSHMENTS In THE NAVY.

Too luch LAW and Not Enough Justice Mt

North American Review.l
There may be sometimes too much law
and not enough justice. 1t is not the
severity, but the certainty, Of punishment
that deters men from committing often ses.
Except for crimes, the puDishments on board
ship should approximate in a manner to
those used in private families As much
can be obtained from child by setting it
upon chair and letting it cry itself out as
by bruising its flesh; and in military courts
the officers would do themselves more honor
by leaning toward humanity than by en-
forcing the most rigorous punishments and
gaining the name OF martinets. Errors in
the proceedings of naval general courts
martial are possible, and there is stringency
in them which perhaps might be abated;
but the revising power has authority to
modify sentences, and as the matter comes
before the Judge Advocate General and the
Secretary Of the Navy, it Is TO be supposed
that these gentlemen will view all cases
without prejudice. Should there be too
much rigor in the sentence of sailor, II is
not the fault Of the naval officer II IL 10

Hurrahi hurrahl for the mad white cap,
And the spoon-drifts scudding sweep;
Heigh-ho! for a home in the oceans lap,
And a life on the rolling deep.
There is mad delight when the white sails
fill,
And the wild winds swirl and play
And the halliards sing with whistle shrill,
And the glad boats leap away.
We are free as air with the sky above,
And the chainless sea beneath;
And the stanch boats furrow the breast they
love,
And laugh in the tempest's teeth.
They mount the crests as the billows meet
To challenge the right of last,
And cry Hal hal" when the whirlwinds beat
And scoH at the icy blast.
The land behind dies entire from sight,
And Is lost in the shadowy bar;
For the sun has sunk, and beacon light
Flames out like first signal star.
And over the trackless waste we sweep,
While the restless surges roll;
And He, who holds in His hand the deep,
Takes charge of the sailor-soul.

CHEWING LICORICE ROOT.
The Boys Now Days Don't Know What
Good Thing They Are Missing,

The boys of this age, says druggist in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, don't know
what a good chew licorice root is Ger
tainly the city boy does not. He chews to-
bacco, smokes cigarettes, or eats candy if he
is too good to do either of the others; but
good heavens, he wouldn't look at licorice
root! Out in the country, where they still
preserve some of the good old crudity of
taste, men and boys still use the root and
carry il around in their pockets. But a
city drug store doesn't sell q pound a year.
unless some fellow comes along the day
after his birthday or his engagement or
New Years, with a newly made resolution
to give up the use of tobacco. Then we may
sell little licorice root, if the man
doesn't like chewing gum, but he never
comes back after a second package.
