ovERwoRKED.

UP with the bird, in the early morning
Ihe dewdrop glows like a precious gem;
beautiful tfnts in the skies are dawning
But she's never q moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
she must not linger,' she must not wait;
Z for words that are sharp and looks that are
Are what the men give when breakfast is late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
pi,t sne h would a., blt look over hills and trees;
M Those things must always yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine OF beauty,
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work il committed sin.
The day grows hot, and her hands grow weary;
oh, for all hour to cool her head
ont with the birds and winds 80 cheeryl
- But she must get dinner and make her bread;
The busy men in the bayfield, working.
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call it shirking,
-; And she never could make them understand,
They do not know her heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime,
They only know that they want their dinner,
Plenty Of II, and jnst ION time.''
And M after the sweeping and chnrning and baking,
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
TIL time for supper and "chores" draws nigh
Her boys at school must look like Others,
She says as she patches their frocks and hose
For the world is quick to censure mothers
for tne least neglect OF their children clothes
her husband comes from the field OF labor,
.,, ne gives no praise to his weary wife;
Shes done no more than has her neighbor:
'Tis the lot Of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters-shall call her blest.
And l think the sweetest Joy of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
Ana the fairest crown of all, will be given
nto the wayworn farmers Wife

LETTERS FROM LAND AND LOT oWNIRs

have devoted my life to the problem of
swimming, and I am egotistical enough to
think that [ can give some points as to the
best methods Of swimming. One of the
most important strokes either in fancy
swimming or racing is the American over
hand siGe stroke, which l invented 1t is
really the fastest stroke that can be used.
1t is quite different from the English over
hand stroke, and in the difference lies the
secret Of the additional speed that is OBJ
tained. English swimmers bury themselves
deeply in the water, and sink from one to
two yards under the surface in bringing
the hand over, which retards their progress
through the water
To use my stroke lie in the water on the
right side At an angle Of about 30 9egs. The
water covers the right eye, while the left
eye, the nose and the mouth are out of the
water The body is propelled through the
water By the legs and feet, and in this
stroke the ankles are strongly brought into
use.
The force is obtained from the instep Of
the right foot and the sole of the left The
legs are brought up and placed in position
like the letter Y, and when the kick is
made they are brought quickly together,
the right foot being twisted to bring the
instep against the water. After the kick
is made, and while the legs are being
brought up again, the right hand, which
is extended beyond the head like cut
water, is brought down to the hip. When
this hand is going up again the left hand
is carried over the head and right shoulder,
dipped into the water and used as paddle.
The right arm is used to steady the body,
and force is attained by the left arm and
the legs. When the left arm is coming
down the kick is made. In learning this
stroke first of all learn the motions; speed
can be worked up Gftervard From thirty
eight to forty-five strokes a minute IS d
high rate of speed TO be attained.-Gus

TESTS OF DEATH.

Sure BAe<hods of Determining When a
Subject Is Actually Dead.
As has been said before, the case of
Bishop has been mainly instrumental in
bringing out the danger of people being
left for dead while life yet remains Every
one should understand this danger and ac-
cept with the truth that "as long a. there
is life there is hope" another. that some
times there is hope after apparent death.
If person stricken with an incurable dis
ease dies after lingering illness the signs
of death may generally be accepted as posi-
tive, but in all instances where il is not ex-
pected, or we may say where there has ap-
peared a chance for recovery, a physician
should be sent for at once If death occurs.
1t should rest with him, not with the rela-
tives or friends, TO say when life is extinct.
AS for the tests Of death the only reliable
one, according TO Dunglison. is the com
mencement of putrefaction. But there are
several others which, when applied to-
gether, would remove all doubts. Some
physicians have great confidence in the
electrical test. ROsenthal once found mus
cular contractility in a subject supposed to
have been dead thirty hours; consciousness
returned forty-eight hours afterward. IL
ammonia be injected under the skin and a
red blotch is found life exists. Il is held
that no one ever dies with tears in the eyes,
hence if tears are found, as in cataleptic
patients, there is life.
Another test IS TO place the end of a fin
ger in candle flame until blister forms
If this when opened is found To contain
only air, then death has occurred but if 4
blister Of water has formed. then life is
present. Among the old fashioned tests
for death is holding line feathers to the
nose and mouth. By means Of these IL can
be determined whether or not the subject
still breathes. 4 looking glass was used
for the same purpose. The breath dims
with moisture the surface OF the glass
Still another test was to place q tumble--
full of water on the chest Of the supposed
dead person. If there was even very faint
breathing the fact would be registered on
the shining surface OF the water But
these tests are by no means iufalhble for
lie may exist in cases where IL IS imposs;-
bic TO detect either respiration or circula-

GlIATEMAI AN AnNCES

SAN FRANsISCO, Cal, August 7.-DOmin-
go EStrOda, the Guatemalan consul gener-
al at this city, has received a dispatch
from the Guatemalan minister at the City
of Mexico stating that General Grimsaray,
the leader of the rebellion against Barril-
las, has been routed by the Guatemalan
troops.
The vice president of San Salvador has
organized a government in nSanSalvadorian
territory in opposition to that of Ezeta,
and is being aided by General Miranda,
one of the most important men in the re-
public The dispatch also stated that EZe-
ia shot many people in connection with
the Rivas' movement, among whom
were many important persOnages.
General Miranda, an accOmplice of the
traitor Rivas. and COmmandant Ayalia,
who aspires TO the presidency of San Sal
vadOr have been routed and Salvador is
now free from maraUding bands. The di-
plOmatic corps have made no proposition
fers would be accepted in favor of peace
General Ezeta answered in the affirmative.
A special cipher dispatch from Guate
mala says: The revolution is increasing
General hungary. the revOlutionist, who
captured Chiquimula, has increased his
forces by large numbers of deSerterS from
the Salvador ranks. Dissatisfaction
reigns supreme and the flight of resident
Barrillas is looked for at any moment.
General Barunda has started revolution
IN the northern part of Guatemala from
San Bentona and taking a large force from
San Bentona of refugees who have been in
Mexico.

Noisy American Tourists,

1t Is really little wonder that so many
europeans who have never crossed the At
lantic should have wrong idea Of Amer
lean people. The extraordinary things that
certain class of Americans do amaze and
appal them, and as the loud and eccentric
samples from over the water are necessarily
more heard of than the thousands OF well
bred ones who make no noise, they get
taken as the representatives of the millions
at home. One summer, being in Heidel-
berg for day, went to see the lovely old
ruined castle with an English companion
Tne hour that might have been full of per-
feet enjoyment was spoiled by couple of
Americans whom the guide was showing
round at the same time. Their jokes,
leveled at everything that they were shown
and at the guide himself, were in horribly
bad taste and delivered in the harshest of
loud voices. The poetry of the place was
quite lost upon them and my companion
was greatly incensed at its being spoiled
for us.-Max O'Reu.

Heathen in brooklyn.

missionary Sunday school in Brooklyn
has some sadly neglected heathens in al
tendance whose lack OF knowledge of the
Bible is almost enough to induce, some of
tbe ardent missionaries who 20 off 10 India

children come for two consecutive Sun
days the teacher is grateful One teacher
class was always present and seemed inter
ested. She told them Bible stories so en-
tertainingly that a wag9ish friend said
''the kiddies wouldn't recognize the Bible
when they grew up" Her plan was to tell
4 Bible story and then review the pupils on
what she had told. The boys seemed to
enjoy this sort of lesson.
On Sunday she recited to them in very
animated way the story of Joseph's trials
and triUmphs The boys answered in a
gratifying manner until it came TO the
scene where Joseph was ruler in Egypt
The teacher he'd made a strong point of
JoSeph's generosity--how he might have
sent his brothers away starving but in
stead had given them corn, and unknown
to them had put money into their sacks
She drew especial attention to the fact that
he had placed the silver cup in Ben jauain' g
sack, and thought she clearly brought out
the fact that Joseph had sent for Benjamin
a few hours after his brothers had started
for home, and asked the question, Rich
ard, what did Joseph do after his brothers
had gomez" 'IIe telephoned for police
man." answered Richard promptly THAT
is not what l told you" said the teacher
Teprovingly. Il know it said Richard
sullenly, but that's what his nibs oughter
