WHAT BEAUTY Is.
BY h. C. DODGE.

What constitutes beauty? 1t isn't the face
That would to an artist seem perfect with grace,
Or might TO poet be truly divine;
1t isn't the form for which sculptors may pine.
1t ism a Venus, no matter how fair
It's not an Adonis. no matter how rare,
That make US see beauty-the kind that imparts
Forever a Joy TO our minds and our hearts
What then maketh beauty? A face may be plain
Or even be ugly, yet may it contain
something that makes US, without knowing
how,
See beauty enhancing and unto it bow.
What is it makes beauty? The eyes do that shine
With love or affection or friendship divine,
The lips do that smile from the gladness inside,
The look that shows manly or womanly pride
What constitutes beauty? The grasp of the
hand.
That tells you are welcome wherever You stand;
The ears do that listen with sympathy true,
The words that give comfort, that courage renew.
What constitutes beauty? Good actions do all;
The hands that viii help you to rise if you fall,
The voice that is honest and CHEEKY and sweet
These only makes beautY-fOrever- complete.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.

CHICAGO NTER-oCEAN. ,

Like shadow that flies from the sun-god, We slip
out of life and are gone.
The place where were is vacant, for who viii
remember till noon
The drop of dew like a diamond which pleased at
the glimmer of dawn!
And when the singer has left us, who cares TO re-
member the tune!
If the leaves drift deep in the forest what bird is
seeking the one
Beneath whose shelter she builded her tedious,
love grading nest?
1t has lived, used, has persisted, lieth-its
use being done
Forgotten of sunshine and songster in the dust
whence 1t came. Ii Is best!
But we've shrink from the leafs fate, and we
murmur: ''S0on they forget;
These friends whom we loved, who loved us and
shared in our pleasure and mirth
Our names are lost in the silence death bringeth
and no regret
Endureth for US, low lying in the green-gemmed
bosom Of earth.
o mortal, accept the omeni and we live, we are
used, and we fall
As the leaf before us has fallen; we pass from our
place and are not.
The living have grief sufficient; content thee to
fold in thy pail
Remembrance and sorrow grieving, and be of the
living forgot.

A Blind Sculptor.

Vidal, the blind soul ptor, is one of the
wonders of the French capital. He has
been blind since his twenty-frst year. We
can quite easily understand how a blind
farmer would cultivate the ground with
the pillow. spade and hoe; how he would
feel around the tender plants, and gently
loosen the dirt from their roots, or how
the blind Birmingham, Ala, miner tells,
with the sense of touch alone, the direction
and to what depth to drill the holes before
putting in a blast, but the work of Vidal
stands out in bold relief, unique, wonder
full and Incompatible To be a sculptor
it is generally supposed that one must
have the ''mechanic's eve and tie artist s
taste and perspicuity. The latter faculties
Vidal has to an exceptional degree-even
more acute. he believes, than if the former
were not lost to him forever. By slowly
passing his hands over an object he notes
its external proportions. and initiates them
in clay In manner which strikes the be
holder dumb with surprise. A dog, horse,
human face, or anything alive or dead, he
models with as much ease as any of the
dozens of Partisan sculptors who still re-
tain the faculty of sight. From 1856 to
1875 Vidal received more medals than any
other exhibitor of works In the Paris Art
Exhibit. Many of his works, made In
the solitude of his perpetual midnight,
are now on the shelf at the great EXPOSE
ton, where the blind wonder contends IN
friendly rivalry with his less unfortunate
brother artists. He never complains, Is
always genial and festive when among
friends, who always speak of him and to
him as though he could see, and well may
they do So for he Is one of the hest art
critics in Paris.

ever a grove of trees has attained any size
there the blizzard 5 scepter has been broken,
and the tyrant no longer rules over the
whole of the west. Outside of the groves
he Is as fierce as ever, but when the groves
are large enough, and approximately con-
tinuous, then the blizzard will be some
thing of the past.
Man can control the elements if he will,
to a certain extent, Of course, and he can
control the blizzard, the worst friend to
the farmer, and it is his duty to do battle
with it, and overcome it. So the warning
is plant trees-cotton-wood, ash. elm, oak
or whatever kind or variety that flourishes
the best, and forms the best protection
By so doing the farmer makes his land
more valuable, for the woods act, not
simply as protection from billiards, but
as wind-breaks from smaller storms.

Trees and Billiards.

Billiards are becoming so frequent and
disastrous in their results that farmers
begin to dread them more than the old
time summer drought The blizzard In
all its purity and perfection is found on
the plains, or ueeless regions of the far
west.
It, however, comes In the east OCCASION
ally, to give all an idea of what it is In its
fury. The binding snow fakes, the cold
sleet of icicles, and the terrible wind drive
along the surface of the ground, and actu-
ally scours it as with monstrous sand
blast. No animal life, if left unprotected,
can Withstand the terrible scourge.
The billiards are doing much toward
depreciating the value of good farming
land in many sections Of the west and
north west, and is discouraging the cat
tie raisers. Thousands of head of cattle
are annually lost through the effects of
the terrible billiards. The cattle herd
ers are. as a result, gradually moving
southwark with their focks, trying to
find some winter shelter in the warmer
regions of the south and Southwest. But
even here. the blizzard is gradually en-
croaching upon them, wherever there are
treeless regions.
The fact Is the blizzard is liable to make
itself felt wherever there are no woods,
groves or forests to obstruct its way. The
plains have been swept with the billiards
for ages and ages, and they will continue
to be so until forests of trees are planted
to protect them. Where early settlers
planted trees on the plains there the ice
laden storms find distractions. The tree
planter has routed the blizzard wherever
he has set his little array of trees. Wher-
