Ho. ye lads OF the harvest, bol
Come with horses aud hounds and go
where the giens are dark, aud the rocks are
And the frost is crisp in the midnight air
Where the yau!ting vines and the creeping

Give a spectral charm to the sleeping hills
Where the wild game wanders, and, late or

Under the light of the Hunters Moon.
Tue gathering hoofs of our steeds keep tune

As the fur-clad bandits bound away,
Over the bluffs and the powders gray.

From the topmost crags, to the Hunters
The stars are low. and the chase is long,
But the breath of the breeze and the rivers

Sink into the breast of the brooding night,
As soft as the cream of an old delight,
While the changing shades of the shifting

Make sober the hearts of the soltudes,
As we gallop away thro' the forest, strewn

When the quarry lies on the hills of morn,
And the far, faint blast of the hunters horn

We swing TO the saddles and homeward go

Cleaving the mists of the day break dim.
Aerrily thrilling an old love tune
In the waning light of the Hunters Moon.

TWENTY DUNKARDs WITH AN r.
A Photographers Blunder That Startle:
and Mystified a Station Agent.

A Telegrapher's Blunder That startIe:
and Mystified a Station Agent.
Last year a party of a5 Dunkards was
en- route to the general conference via
St Louis. No agent accompanied them,
and telegram was sent to Union Depot
Passenger Agent Bonner to meet 90
Dunkards."
The religious education of the tele-
graph operator who received the mes
sage had been neglected He had never
heard of the Dunkards, and, supposing a
mistake had been made, he just inserted
the letter "r," and when Bonner received
the message it read: Meet No. 4
Twenty drunkards aboard. Look after
them"
Bonner was somewhat taken aback.
He did not know but that an inebriate
asylum had broken loose, but anyway
prompt action was necessary. The 20
drunkards must be desperate men or the
dispatch would not have been sent, and
murder might have been committed on
the road.
Bonner posted off to police headquar-
tiers and his story did not lose in the tell
ing The chief of police, alive to the
exigencies of the situation, made spe-
cial detail Of 10 policemen and patrol
wagon.
The policemen were drawn up in line
at the depot and intense excitement pre-
vailed among the numerous depot loung-
ers, a rumor having gained currency
that desperate band of train robbers
were on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no
party of registering drunkards alighted
The party on the train was composed of
several pious looking gentlemen, with
broad brimmed hats, who stood around
as though expecting some one.
Bonner approached one of them and
said interrogatively:
Had any trouble ON the road?"

@none that know of. And now I'll ask

"Yes, l am Mr.. Bonner" was the an
swer.
"Well, these brethren and myself are
Dunkards, and you wers4o meet us and
put us on the right train. Didn't you
get telegram"
Bonner was completely done for. He
excused himself, and, calling the SER
geant of police aside, he told him that
it was all a mistake and he and his men
could go back to headquarters. Then
he disposed of his religious friends, went
round and cussed out the telegraph oper-
ator, after which he had to set 'em up"

The European Working Day.

A Turkish working day lasts from
sunrise to sunset with certain intervals
for refreshment and repose, says Cham
bers' Journal. In Montenegro the day
laborer begins work between 5 and g.
in the morning. knocks off at 8 for
half an hour, works on till noon, rests
until 2. and then labors on until sun
set. This is in summer. In winter he
commences work at 7:30 or 8, rests
from IL to 1, and works uninterrupted
ly from that time to sunset.
In Portugal from sunrise to sunset is
the usual length of the working day.
With field laborers and workmen in
the building trades the summer work
ing day begins at 4:30 or 5 in the
morning and ends at z in the evening.
two or three hours rest being taken in
the middle of the day. In the winter
the hours are from 1880 to 5, with
shorter interval of repose. In manu-
ufactories the rule is twelve hours in
summer and ten in winter, with an
hour and a half allowed for meals.
Eleven hours is the average days
work in Belgium, but the brewers
men work from ten to seventeen hours,
SlNlcCu,
ers of Brussels aud Client are often at
work seventeen hours day; tramway
drivers are on duty from fifteen to sew
enteen hours. with an hour and a half
ut noon; railway guards sometimes
know what it is to work nineteen and
half hours at a stretch, and in the
mining districts women are often kept
at truck-loading or similar heavy labor
for thirteen or fifteen hours.
The normal workday throughout
Saxony is thirteen hours, with two
hours allowance for meal-taking. In
Baden the medium duration of labor
is from ten to twelve hours; but in
some cases it far exceeds this, often
rising to fifteen hours in stoneware
and china work. and cotton-mills; in
saw-mills to seventeen hours. while the
workers in the sugar refineries. where
the shift system is in vogue, work
twenty-four hours free, and in too
many of the Baden factories Sunday
work is the rule. In Russian indus
trial establishments the difference in
the working hours is something ex-
traordinary, varying from six to twen-
". 1t is remarkable that these great
diyergence5 occur in the same branch
es of industry within the same inspec-
tors district and among establishments
whose produce realizes the same mar

A Monstrous Freak of Nature.

about 90 years of age. who was the
most oddly malformed creature / have

This Lazarus has little brother grow

posture born with him. His left foot
alone hung downward. He had two

and lips, and had a little beating at

these strange creatures received names
at baptism, the larger the name of
Lazarus, the smaller that of Baptista.
Baptista has his eyes shut the major
portion of the time; his breath is very
faint, so that holding a downy feather
at his mouth it scarcely moves. His
mouth is usually open; his head is
larger than that of the brother who is
doomed to carry him on his bosom as
long as both live; his face is in an up
right posture. Both have boards; that

Beautiful Mexican Custom.

Nine. Romero, in speaking of a re-
cent funeral, said: 1T oppressed me
to think of that family returning to
their home to be left alone in that
darkened house where memories stand
in every corner and look at one from
every picture. Now, in Mexico, we
manage that better. We have what |
think is a very comforting custom. In
4 few hours after the return of the
family from the cemetery all the
friends begin to arrive at the house,
and for nine days they visit with them,
endeavOring by cheerful conversation
to draw their minds from the great
loss sustained. There is no hilarity,
only the truest and deepest sympathy.
All the callers wear mourning costume,
and failure to visit the family during
the allotted time is considered a seri-
Gus breach of etiquette. Frequent al
lusions are made to the good qualities
Of the dead, but there is no time for
brooding to intensity the grief, and, at
the end of the nine days, the keenness
of the sense of desolation is worn off
and the mourners are ready to take up
life again. Isn't that an improvement
over the American way?"-WaShington
