MONDAY.

Everything goes to its rest,
The hills are asleep In the noon
And life is as still in its nest
As moon, when she looks on moon
In the depths Of a calm rivers breast
As it steals through midnight n June
The streams have forgotten the sea
In the dream of their musical sound;
The sunlight is thick on the tree,
And the shadows lie warm on the ground
So still you may watch them and see
Every breath that awakens around
The ehurchyard lies still In the heat,
With its handful Of moldering bone,
As still as the long stalk Of wheat
In the shadow that sits by the stone,
As still as the grass at my feet
When I walk in the meadows alone.
The waves are asleep on the main,
And the ships are asleep on the wave,
And the thoughts are as still in my brain
as the echo that sleeps 10 the cave
All rest from their labor and pain,
Then Why should not in my gravef
Good Housekeeping.

Such is the caption of an advertisement
that appears not only in the local, but
many leading agricultural papers and
which suggests the propriety OF a few
thoughts upon the subject. 1t may be
laid down as a rule that most farmers in
dulge in raising poultry not for the pleas
ure it gives but for the profit that is real
lied from the same which must come
from young chicks or eggs, and since the
chicks must come from the eggs, the real
profit may be traced TO egg production, so
the advice given in these words is OF vital
consequence to the ambitious farmer.
THE advertisement referred TO recon-
mends Sheridan's Condition Powder to
make hens lay and SO do We" says Mr..
Hunter, poultry editor of the N. Il. Farm
er. "A hen to lay prolitieally must be in
perfect health, must be in condition, and
mere is based the true theory OF the value
OF Sheridan's Condition Powder-it pro-
NOTES the general good health OF the fowl,
gently quickening digestion and stimuia-
ting all The various organs of the body as
well as the ovaries to perform their tunc-
tons" At this season of the year the
use of .Sheridan's Condition Powder is
very valuable for moulting hens and
young pullets. BY its use now they will
get TO laying earlier when the price for
eggs is very high. Any person buying
and using Sheridan's Condition Powder
now, will get their hens in good laying
condition before cold weather and stand
a good chance TO win one Of the large gold
premiums to be offered later by /. 5. John

Just a Trifie Too Funny.

II remember friend Of mine, said Squire
Johnson to the delegate, who considered him
self funny. He went to prominent jeweler on
Fourth street, Cincinnati, and purchased a
watch for $50 receiving a written guarantee
that the watch would keep good time for year.
IL the watch failed the purchase money was to
be refunded. Well, my friend was called to
Europe soon after that, and spent several
months travelling about various parts of the
earth, and it happened that he returned TO Gin
cnnati on the very day the guarantee on his
watch expired. Asking me to accompany him.

Billy" Mason was in his seat in the House
this afternoon for the first time this season,

ceved quite an ovation at the hands of his fel-
low-menabers. There is no doubt of the popu-
ianty OF the West Side congressman among

surrounded half the afternoon by groups of
friends who were begging him to explain how
1t all happened and telling him how sorry they

by telling them that, while the people have
tired OF him as q congressman, certain corpo-
rations have come nobly to the front and guar
anteed him $4,000 year at the law. Judge
Payson ts another Illinois congressman who is
about to retire from politics. You will be

No Regrets for sitting Bulls Fate.

No Regrets for Sitting Bulls Fate.
No regrets are expressed anywhere, ex'
cept, perhaps, among his immediate fol
lowers, for Sitting Bulls fate. The con-
Sc nsus of opinion is thai he was a bad In-
| dian, and that the Indians will be more
peaceable and better OFF in every respect
without him.
He has always been a foe of the white
people. and for many years he waged re-
lentless war against them. He passionately
expressed the determination on many occa-
sions in his younger days never to become
an agency Indian-that is, he would never
| consent to settle down al an Indian agency
and receive his food and clothes from the
government. He was forced TO do SO finally,
however, but he was not content in that
position. He was always looking for a
favorable opportunity to bring about a
rupture between the Indians and the govern
ment. He would have succeeded in doing
that long ago had his influence with the
Indians been greater. As a rule. the indians
did not respect him greatly, because they
considered that he would rather crafty his
hatred Of the white people than to advise
But he could depend upon the
more reckless and irresponsible
of the Indians to follow him.
When other chiefs left the agency for the
Bad Lands the government was not greatly
disturbed, because it was not believed that
any one Of them had the skill aud courage
to lead a revolt, but when it was reliably
reported that Sitting Bull had determined
to leave the agency it was determined to
have him arrested at once, because it was
thought his going meant mischief. Had he
submitted to arrest quietly he would not
have been harmed. The efforts made under
his orders to rescue him shows that he was
a desperate and dangerous man, and that if
he had got into safer locality he would
have given the government a great deal of
trouble
1t is impossible to say what effect the
killing of Sitting Bull will have upon
the northwest Indians. Some of them have
already gone on the warpath, but the num-
ber is small By far the most of the In
dams are yet disposed to keep tue peace, be-
cause they know they would have no chance
to be successful in q struggle with the gov
ernment TIE few who have gone have
succeeded in doing great deal of mischief.
Under some circumstances Sitting Bnll
might have passed into history as patriot.
II, for instance, there had been under his
command enough Indians to enable him to
resist successfully the governments Indian
policy, and to force concessions from the
government beneficial to the Indians, he
would have been regarded as a great and
good Indian instead Of tad man. Success
makes great difference in the estimation
in which one is held.

Terrapin Fattening Without Food.

Everybody has heard of the toothsome terra
pin, surnamed the.diamond back, dear to the
epcurean palate, but even in Washington
where they are comparatively plentiful, it is
not every body that knows that it will take SO in
good American coin to buy one of these dimin-
utive little dainties with the peculiar marked
shells That is to say, it takes So to possess
one in the raw shape, says the Washington FOst
before some expert chef has converted him into
an edible. In the latter state nobody but
nillionaires and gastronomists like Col Tom
Ochilt rec are in it. In cooking them only but
ter worth 5Ocents pound is fit to be used, and
wines OF the rarest vintage, which help 20 make
the figures loom up on the ticket that comes
when the feast is ended.

window was pretty well filed with the little

Take a dozen for S3O," was the reply.
though only hotels and restaurants usually
order that many. Yes, that's the lowest price.
We get them from a little town down in Mary
land, where they are bought up from the
fishermen who catch them in nets in Chesa peake
bay.
There are diamond backs in other southern
waters-here Is one that came from Savannah
but none are supposed to have the exquisite
taste of those caught in the Chesapeake"
How long will they liver"
For three or four months and strange to
say, get tatter the longer they are kept. All the
tood they get is a little sea grass put down for
them to waddle about in -
The average terrapin isn't over seven inches
long, and in the she'll doesn't weigh over two
pounds. The late Mr. Wormley, of hotel fame
was connoisseur in diamond backs, and
bought as many as 300 at time. He put them
away in remote room, where no light entered,
SO that they wouldn't stir about. locomotion
