''AIany New Workers, doubtless, have
been puzzled to account for the fact that
we have an East and North River, in
stead of an East and West River" OBJ
serves the New York Tribune. "The
explanation is found in the circumstance
that the Hudson was originally called the
North River to distinguish it from the
Delaware, which was popularity known as
the South River among the early colon
lists. While the latter designation has
become obsolete, the former is still in
current use, although there is no reason
why this should be so. 1t is no harder
to say Hudson than North, and it is
certainly more beautiful and appro.

A jury at Syracuse, N. Y, few days

LOVE AT LAST IS THE LIGHT
DIVINE,

Love at last is the light divine
All undimmed by the ages dire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
As the dawn to the woodland vine.
Waking song from hidden choir,
Love at last is the light divine.
AS the moon DER the silvered brine
Cleaning down on the tides desire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
So in the world-heart's inmost shrine
Upward still does its fame aspire
Love at last is the light divine.
Strong with vestal might benign,
Quenchless is its eternal fire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
Sweetheart, this is creed of mine,
Wrought in a couplet here entire
Love at last is the light divine,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.

The Chicago Herald recalls the fact
that not many years ago the abandoned
timber lands in Aroostook County, Maine,
away up near the British province, were
almost worthless for agricultural pur-
poses. Later on Swedes and other in
dustrious foreigners moved in, and now,
declares the Herald. Aroostook County
is the greatest growing county in
New England.

NIGHT IN THE CITY.

There is not a sound or a breath tonight,
The streets lay broad and still,
Even the breeze has taken flight,
The town is bathed in the silvery lighu,
That the down-turned moon doth spill
In yonder house the dancing feet
Have ceased to beat the floor;
flushed are the notes of the violin sweet
The music and mirth that reigned complete
The song and dance are DER.
In its mothers arms a new life sleeps
Down in the heart of the city;
In another house woman weeps,
Watching a couch to which death creeps,
That death which knows no pity.
'Tis woman dying; her passionate life
Is slowly ebbing away.
1t may be an ending to sin and strife
So months and years, with recklessness rife,
She has lived through her butterfly day.
So baby sleeps and woman dies;
Vain now is her beauty's might
What can avail her lovers sighs, .e,ssSs~
Quenched is the light of her beautiful eyes
Death calls her his own tonight.
One soul comes In through life's broad gate
While another is fleeing fast
To that goal Of souls, which early or late,
Be they young or old, whatever their state,
All souls must reach at last!
And the world moves on and the moon shines
down
With the same old silvery light;
Mirth sleeps, but there's birth and death in
the town
And darkness no light of the morn can
drown,
In the star-lit hours of nightl

An Ancient Egyptian Scythe.

An Egyptian scythe, recently unearthed,
is exhibited among the antiquities in the
private museum of Flinders Petrie in
London. The shaft of the instrument is
wood, supporting a row of flint saws,
which are securely cemented into it.
This discovery will set at rest the specu-
lations which have been made as to how
the crops of the land were gathered in
the flint and early copper age. 1t has
long been suspected that such an instru-
ment as Mr.. Petrie has brought to light
was used, but there was no direct evil
dence.

The Blair Educational bill was taken up, and
Mr.. Spooner (Wis) addressed the Senate in OPP
position to it. lie claimed that since the bill
was introduced, in 1880, great change had
come over the country, North and South in
regard to its cxpedieney. One strong evidence
of that was tho attitude of the newspaper press
of the country during the discussion. lt was
idle for tho Senator from New Hampshire or
for any man, to contend that the great newspa-
per press of the country had entered into II CON
spracy in favor Of ignorance. It's interest was
the other way. The newspaper press could
have no interest against the general interest of

CnukinE Food.

Cooking food for stock has these ad-
vantages: 1t furnishes more digestible
food; as it is fed in better shape not SO
much food is wasted; it enables US to
feed odds and ends, rough fodder, ETC..
which could not be made SO available il
it were not cooked, and animals do bet
ter upon cooked than upon uncooked
food, though precisely what the per
cent of advantage is in that direction
it would not be possible to state. The
difference has been claimed to be all the
way from ten to fifty per cent. in favor
of cooked food. Now, with these ad-
vantages before him the feeder must de-
termine for himself whether or not it
will pay him to cook the food for his An.
imals. If the system of heating water
for animals should become widely adopt
ed, we have no doubt that the apparatus
used for heating the water will be made
available for cooking food. But if the
advantages were fully afty per cent. it
would not always pay to cook the food.
When corn is worth only fifteen cents a
bushel, it would not pay to set up q
cooking apparatus or to use it if it were
set up. When animals are selling for
less than it costs to produce them,
whether cooking the food will bring the
cost sufficiently lower to warrant the
adoption OF the system is always mat
1er worth thinking Of, but one which
the individual must figure out for him

Do NOT starve one day and cram the
next. Steady, judioious feeding is what
pays.
CHRISTMAS beeves, 1855, sold from
fifty to seventy-ive cents per hundred
more than the same stock in 1889.
A LOT of yearling Herefords that aver
aged 1859 pounds were recently sold at

To MAKE the cattle, horses and other
live stock profitable, the owner must
give them thoughtful care three times a
day during the winter.
The largest days purchase of hogs at
the Chicago Stock Yards for two years
was made December 13, 1889, by Armour
& Co. The number was 10, 433.

Liberal Straw Bedding.

The farmer who raises wheat or oats
or rye largely, and has not stables fitted
with manure cutters and reservoirs,
will do we'll to use straw literally for
bedding. If enough is used it will alb.
sorb nearly all the liquid manure. The
liquid manure will hasten the decompo-
sition of the straw more rapidly, con.
verting it into valuable fertilizer.
Without the straw or some similar sub.
stance the decomposition of the liquid
manure is so rapid as to be destrncsl 20
and part of its value is lost. Straw
is very imperfect conductor of heat,
hence, when it is used literally fol
bedding, much less food is consumed in
the production Of animal heat, and the
animals are healthier and thriftisr.-

Ludicrous Mistakes Said to Havo Boon

Lawyer Ashley, of New York, was
telling Judge Day a story of Daudet,
the novelist. who is extremely near
sighted. The story ran thus: Daudet
visited some place in which were kept
many animals. He sauntered slowly
about peering into their cages until he
came to secluded spot where furry
object, not in a cage, attracted his at
tention, "Ah!' said the distinguished
Frenchman, ''this must be tame
bear" And, taking some cake from his
pocket he flung it with ''There, old
fellow" straight into the face of Rus
sian noblemano who, enveloped in his
sables, had stopped to look at the bears
near by. Imagine his anger and sur
prise. Daudet apologized, etc., etc., etc.
The Judge listened intently, but.after
the lawyer had finished he said gravely:
Il can tell you something far ahead
of that in the way of mistakes caused
by nea,-sightedness.
suburbs came from the city one summer
evening just at twilight. He had broken
his glasses and was almost feeling his
way along, when he became conscious
of somebody walking directly in front of
him. It seemed to be short women in
bright gown, wearing a wrap about
her shoulders, one end of which trailed
down behind her. She walked so
heavily that my friend began to think
that though short, she must be exceed
ingly stout. A few steps more and the
wrap touched the ground and dragged
in the mud. This was more than his
gallantry could stand, SO STOPPING for
ward he said: ALLOW me, madam, to re-
