Marketing Poor Cattle.

From the Chicago Drovers' Journal.
A wealthy Englishman who visited
Chicago about the close of the summer
paid the stock yards visit and he
promptly expressed the greatest surprise
at seeing so large a number of poor and
habitat cattle in the pens. "Why," said
he, ''do your farmers and cattle pro
ducers send such poor cattle to market
from country as rich in the production
of feed of all kinds as yours IS" And
while he moved around through the
stock yards he could not be diverted
from this prominent feature of the trade
here, but kept repeating his surprise
over the sorry figures such poor cattle
cut in great market like ours.

years ago he visited the ancient city and
saw that good hotel would pay, and he
at once erected a first class hosiery.
Pilgrims from every land bound to
Jerusalem were only too glad to find
clean, comfortable hotel, SO far away
from home, and it is now royalty patron
lied by travellers. Guides are kept who
are experts in biblical history, and who
pilot guests to all points of interest. The
discussions around the hotel tables, III
which Moses, Jacob, Paul, John and
other figures of sacred history form the

AS the old lady remarked when she
rose in the morning and found the
mountain that stood before the door of
her cabin, and which she had prayed the
night before to be removed and cast into
the sea. "Just as expected" so every
body remarked upon the Kansas City
woman's prediction that the world
would come to an end Christmas Day.
Few people there are in this or any other
christian land but believe what is found
in Holy Writ concerning the final
wind-up of all things terrestrial, and
that the end may come any day; but
they all also believe the further declara-
ton from the same source that the day
and the hour no man knoweth. Nor do
they believe this less for the failure Of
the prediction to prove true. The poor
deluded woman needs to be pitied; and
her coniding children who she caused to
share her delusion and suffer the mental
torture of suspense.

Powder Instead of Soan.

You don't exactly drop a nickel in the slot, but you see in front of you at the wash basin nickel plated cylinder, about eight inches high and m inch and half in diameter, rising above the basin upright from the outer end of an arm which is at tached to the upper end of the pipe from which the wster faucet projects. At the lower end of the cylinder you see a little handle. On the front of the cylinder is a plate which says: Soap. Wet your hands and pull the handle" With one hand you pull; the other you hold under the cylin- der, and little dash of white powder falls upon it. As you proceol to wash your hands you find that 1t is soap powder, and if you were to talk with the inventor he would doubtless tell you that in hotels and other public wash rooms this is cheaper and cleaner than the cake of soap that goes swilnming.-New York Sun.

THE SOUL oF NATURE.

Is the wind the soul of naturef Look. how the wild leaves blowi Restless as human creatures
 They Autter to and fro. There Is moaning in the pine tree, And whispering in the oak, And wailing at the window
 As if a spirit spoke. Is tho sun tho soul of naSure2
 Sec how the buds awake And spread their tender petals
 When day begins to break. How the brooks rejoice and glitter, The slow, broad rivers smile, And forest tops light up and laugh For many Q leafy mile. z -. Is the sea tho soul of nature?
 Hear how it raves and sighs! Sometimes with breast of gleaming glass It mirrors heavens sweet eyes. Sometimes with storm and thunder It's milk white surf 1t pours In splendid crests of eager rage
 Along the shrinking shores. Ahl cold and mighty mother,
 Where is the soul we seekl Thou hast no weeping for our woe.
 No ear for song or shriek. Thy heart is seamless granite,
 Thou canst not heal or save; Thou givest to the baby flowers,
 And unto mana grave! Rose Terry Cooke in Youths Companion.

At least one South side girl has lost faith in the subject Of clairveyance. In answer to newspaper advertisement she sent $1, together with lock of her hair, age, size and personal characteristics to clairvoyant at Cincinnati, resting secure in the belief that no one would ever know anything about it. The result pleased her so much that her secret was intrustcd to half dozen friends, and the story is out The young lady had signed her surname and initials thus: IF. N. Jones'" instead of ''Fannie N Jones'"
 By return mail came forecast of her future, which, among other things, said: "Shun the light girl; the brunette is the one for you to marry Beware of false friend who seeks to estrange you; he wishes to wed her himself You will live long and be happy, and will gain the love of the girl you ought to marry, but not until you have seen much trouble. ."-Chicago Mail.

A HALF BLOWN ROSE.

A HALF BLOWN ROSE. What Is the mystery, sweet rose, Which thou wilt not reveal2 What secret in thy golden heart Dost thou so long conceal? The crimson of thy velvet cheek Might seem the flush of shame Did not thy pure and modest air Forbid the thought of blame. Perchance 'tis anger's fiery glow, Because the lordly sun Too ardent in his wooing grew, And deemed thee lightly won. Or to that dazzling butterfly,
 That fiirts with every flower. Hast thou too fondly listened
 Through one enchanted hourf And since the faithless rover
 Forgets each whispered VOW, Like a mortal art thou pining
 Upon thy lonely bough. Still, still to my soft pleading
 But half thy charms disclose, Though in thy full orbed splendor Thou wouldst be the peerless rose. But, ah! take heed, thou blossom coy Thy May will soon be past; With every fleeting moment
 Thy bloom is fading fast. So hasten ere 1t be too late
 To nobly master pain ...... Shine forth in oil thy vesture bright And thou'lt not live in vain.
