Mutton.

Mutton can be produced cheaper than
either beef or pork. Ten lambs can be
grown in six months that will dress as
much meat as a steer at two years of age.
They will consume no hay or grain, simply
pasture, but the steer has to be pastured
two seasons, fed hay two winters and grain
one. The lambs consume no more grass
than the steer does in his second summer,
and when sold they bring more money.
In case of the lambs the money is returned
in six months. and the steer in two years.
The first cost Of the lambs is not so much
as that of the steer, for their eve mothers
produce feeces to pay their way, while the
steers mother has to be raised to at least
two years of age without paying anything,
In comparison with the cost of,pork, prop
erl y grown on good clover pasture, and
not wholly on grain. there is not so much
difference, but still it is IN favor of the
lambs.

still gushing. 1t would seem that they
must grow tired, for what is more weari-
some than trying to be what one is not?
How fortunate that our defects are not
as wearing to ourselves as they are to
others. The persons who are sentimental
In their gushing have an especial fondness
for addressing odes to the silver moon and
talking about broken heart. They speak
of each acquaintance as dearest to them
and most to be trusted. and giving to all
their confidence they enioin the most pro-
found secrecy.
Some people often talk wisely on sub
jects of which they know nothing; appear
very affectionate to those for whom they
have no regard; praise loudly that in
which they see no beauty-gush! We
have all met the person who speaks OF
Shakespeare's works as lust too lovely
for anything!' when probably they never
read more than page and found that
about as intelligent as a foreign language.
But one really must admire that which is
pleasing to others, and praise it, too
gush! 1t is hardly worth while for them
to be individual in taste and opinion, O,
no. The proper way is to ascertain the
public opinion and follow it out without
question
In short, gush may be compared to the
bubbles which rise in certain liquids, they
foam and sparkle, but with all their effer-
vescence they are onl y bubbles.

Gliding back through the years that have van
ished,
Years of sorrow, and care and pain,
Fancy flies to the dear old homestead,
| am child there once again;
Once again meath the old trees shadow
Through which gimmered the suns warm ray
Shouting in careless, happy abandon,
Gather the friends of childhood days;
As gliding back through the mist of years,
Sighting the joys and the hopes and the fears
Memory sweet brings back TO me
The see-saw under the mulberry tree.
Up and down mid the thick green shadows,
Up and down went the old see-saw,
Keeping time to the gay young voices,
Singing merrily, ''Margery Daw."
Bright the faces that clustered around me,
Merry the laughter, loud and free;
Arrow-swft the hours sped onward,
Under the shade of the mulberry tree.
Far two short was the beautiful summer,
That beautiful summer of long ago;
Brighter the skies and farer the flowers
Than any again / e'er shall know.
Blithe was my song as the wild birds music,
Light my heart, and as bold and free;
All. the dreams and the hopes that we cherished
Under the shade of the mulberry tree.
Gone are the friends of that far-away summer
Long, long forgotten the song that we sung;
Buried the dreams and the bright fancies woven,
AS up and down merrily swung.
Gone are the days of youths golden springtlme,
But shrined in my heart forever will be
Brightest of all my memOry's pictures
The see-saw under the mulberry Tree.

FARM, HOME And GARDEN.
THE LAND USED-TO-BE.
JAMES wHITCoMB RILBY.

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries:
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory.
There lies a land long lost to me,
The land of Used-to-be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas where sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
That craZed men with its melody
Oh, such land, with such a sea
Kissing its shore eternally.
Is that fair Usedto-be.
4 land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds
And sows all sounds with such sweet word.
That even in the lowing herds
\ meaning lives so sweet to me.
Lost laughter ripples limpedly
From lips brimmed o er with all the glee
OF rare old Used-to-be.
Lost laughter and whistled tunes,
Of boyhood's mouth of crescent runes,
That rounded through long afternoons
To serenading plenilunes.
When starlight fell so mistily
That, peering up from Bonded knee,
1 dreamed twas bridal drapery
Hung over Jsed-to-be.
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots
OF coolest, greenest, grassy plots,
Embossed with wild forget-me-nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the past: l kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-be.
[ love We all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeringly on the skies
My blessings like your perfume rise,
Till DER my soul a silence lies
Sweeter than any song 10 me,
Sweerer than any melody.
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three,
Is the land of Used-to-be.

witnessed. One is under the auspices Of
the anti-triangle element and the other
under that OF the triangle of anti ronln
faction. The former are meeting at Bur
lington Park and the latter at Ogden
Grove.
Each side has been doing its best to
Guido the other in the matter of attend
ance. and as result very few natives Of
Erins Isle are at work in this city today.
Over dozen trains had gone out to Bur-
! lington Park up to noon.
The speakers for this gathering are Il.
F. Shelock. of Syracuse, n Y, the nation
al delegate of the Board of Erin, Ancient
Order of Hibernians; NJ. J. Ryan, of Phil
adelphia, one of the most eloquent young
Irish orators in the east; Prof. O'Donnell
of Washington university, and John De-
voy The noted Irish Patriot.
Among the societies who turned out in
force were the Patrick II. Cronin Club,
Robert Emmett Club, Henry Grattan Club,

Gush.

1t must be admitted, among other dis
agreeable truths, that with all the com
| mon sense on earth, there yet remains in
great many persons, a large amount of
, gush.
The different ways in which this pc
culiar quality is manifested are indeed
surprising. There is the natural gush,
the affected gush, the sentimental gush-
all distressing but not alike.
The person with the natural gush has
buoyant spirits which arise to such a de
gree that they bubble over continually, so
that in words, actions and general appear
ances there is a tendency to gush. In
speaking of new bonnet, they use the
same adjectives with which they would
describe most beautiful landscape, and
when, IL consequence they are at loss
for words with which to make tie proper
distinction, they pour forth all the de-
! scriptive words at once, in rakturous ex-
! carnations. Whatever their emotions
whether OF surprise, JOY, or sorrow, 1t Is
manifested in violent outbursts. When
anything little unusual occurs they de-
| clare 1t to be the greatest phenomenon
ever known. If sorrowful they are sure
grief has never been exceeded in all the
history of mankind, and when happy they
are SO wild with joy that they cannot see
why any one should over be serious.
Some people evidently have an admir-
alton for the person who is naturally gush-
ing, Judging from the attempts made at
imitation. There are those who from
morning until night make the most dis
tracing efforts to appear intensely inter-
ested in the affairs of every one whom
they happen to meet. Rushing to persons
with whom they have little acquaintance,
they apply every endearing term to them
and smother them with caresses. Their
cordially is so great that the recipient
wonders what the reception of an intimate
friend must be.
The gushing person always wears a
smile. 1t does not seem to come of itself
but gives one the impression of being as
sumed for the occasion, and liable to van
ish. The voice, too, has rather high
pitch, and their talk abounds in exclama.

NOT YET ERADICATED
Traders in the South Seas Continue to
Practice Slavery.


LONDON, Aug. 14.-Horrible accounts
are received of the slave labor traffic by
British planters in the south seas. A
missionary in the New Hebrides named
Patton reports having seen white men in
their boats taking Kanakas to alabor
vessel-as the slave ships are called
forcibly lifting them, and when they tried
to swim ashore they were knocked down
again and again until they laid stupefed
on the deck and were thus carried out to
sea. Those thought likely to escape are
fastened with chains on board. A chief
was shot dead by the crew of one of these
vessels while attempting to protect his
daughter, and native christian teacher
was also shot dead.
This slave trade is carried on under the
protection of the British flag for the benefit
of planters in Queensland and the Fiji
islands.

Why choate Did Not Defend Prof. webste,

It has often been wondered why Choate
was not employed to defend Prof. Webster
against the charge of killing DR.. Park
mantle most noted criminal trial in the
annals Of New England, if not of the
whole country-and it has sometimes been
said that tie great advocate shrank from
the odium of securing the acquittal of the
culprit. But it is now known that,
although urged by Franklin Dexter, one of
the leaders of the bar, who believed Web
ster innocent and wanted him defended on
that ground and by Charles Sumner, who
took similar view and urged the defense
in the interest of humanity. Choate
would not accept the case, because he
would not undertake to declare that Web
ster did not kill Parkman. The alterna-
tive plea of justifable homicide in self
defense, or of mansaughter by reason of
sudden alteration, was the only one which
Chnate would accept. But Prof. Webster
and his advisers would not agree to this
line of defense, and the consequence was
that he lost the services of the great advo-
cate, who would probably have saved his
life, had he been allowed the only method
of defense which accorded with his con-
victions of policy and of truth.-"An In

GEMS WORTH FORTUNES.
Where Some of the Most Valuable
Stones Are Found.
The Test Ancients Used to Apply to
Diamonds Explains Why There
We're So Few Large Ones
Many Years Ago.

''One reason why you never read of
large diamonds possessed by the ancients
is that they were accustomed to apply to
such stones a rather extraordinary test
1t was believed in their time that real
diamond, being itself the hardest thing in
nature, could not be broken by hammer
upon an anvil. Accordingly, it was Gus
tomary to determine the quality of dia-
monds brought for valuation by seeing if
they would stand this severe trial
So said jewel merchant to a reporter,
and added:
mond would be shivered upon the anvil
into thousand pieces; it was simply an
accident when such a result did OF follow.
For this gem, though harder than any
other known substance, is none the less
brittle on that account, readily splitting if
rightly struck. A few years ago, when
the historic Koh-i-noor had just been re-
cut, the jewel was placed for moment in
the hands of Benjamin Disraeli, who let
it drop from his fingers upon the tiled
floor of the room in which the occurrence
took place. His heart leaped to his throat,
and there was the biggest kind of fright
for moment among the courtiers and
others who stood around lest the diamond
should have been broken. If it had fallen
so as to strike in this or that particular
way it would have been smashed to a GER
tainty, and ever SO many thousands OF
pounds would have vanished into nothing
ness with the destruction of one of the
great gems of the world. Fortunately it
suffered no harm. 1t is worth saying,
parenthetically, that the Koh-i-noor has
itself suffered some of the misfortunes
which it brought upon its owners through
so many centuries. Originally weighing
703 carats, it was reduced by an unskillful
Venetian lapidary to 1856 carats, thus sac
rifcing nearly three-quarters of its origi-
nal dimensions. And so clumsy did the
lapidary perform the work that when he
was through the stone looked more like d
piece of glass than anything else. Suisse
quently it was recut and ROW weighs only
100 carats.'

Tea Making.

In preparing tea the water to be used
should never be poured directly from the
kitchen kettle into the urn. 1t should be
cold fresh water brought absolutely to the
boiling point. The tea used will, Of course,
differ according to taste, but none is better
for the purpose than the best Eli lish
breakfast. The leaves must be placed in
the pot in the proportion of heaping tea
spoonful to each person. Upon these
leaves pour a small quantity of boiling
water; never use all of the latter needed at
once, as a sudden rush will certainly
"drown'' the tea Now pull the cover over
the teapot and allow the contents to draw
few moments when you will have the
best infusion possible; repeat this process
as many times as needed; after using the
first potful and filing once more with boil
ing water, the tea loses its strength and
flavor. Boiled tea is hurtful, and break
fast tea should never be stepped upon the
stove. 1t will not often be necessary to
strain where these directions are followed
but the sudden addition of water floats the
leaves, which do not again settle.-Hall' s
Journal of Health.

A horse that jumps a fence is a NUS
ance on any farm. Most frequently the
horse is taught the evil habit by the
fault of the owner, and the animal is
blamed without reason. A good fence,
substantial, not less than five feet high,
and built so that it cannot be pushed
down, should be made around every pas
ture, and colts reared inside of such a
fence will never become jumpers. But
when horse has already been spoiled in
to this way the question is how is the habit
to be broken up? An effective method
has been proved as follows: A strong
headstali with halter strap, and a stout
surclngle or band to go around the animal
are provided. The halter strap is fastened
to the band under the horses fore legs, so
short that the head cannot be thrown up
high enough for the animal to push off the
top rails or to rear nigh enough to clear
the fence. The strap does lot interfere
with feeding and is not In any way dam
gerous, but it hampers the animal SO that
it cannot jump.

How about rubles
