Stacking SheaYes.

! | have stacked much grain in my day,
| and none of it became wet In the stack.
| Begin by setting two bundles on end, lean
| ing together at an angle of about 20 de-
grees, then continue around and around
until the stack bottom is large enough.
The centre sheaves should be pressed in as
closely together as possible. As the circle
enlarges each succeeding course should be
given a little more slant, so that when the
! last course is laid it will have but slight
slant. The stack bottom is then highest in
| the middle. This rule is followed until
the stack is finished. As The laying pro-
ceeds from the centre the sheaves should
be laid less closely in diminishing degree.
so that the stack will settle least in the
centre After the first course the stacker
should be on his knees and press down
every sheaf. When the foundation is
about feet high the outside tiers of
sheaves must be laid to project a little over
| the ones Immediately beneath, to give the
stack the proper bulge, that the water
may be conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when being "laid out, must
be secured or some may slide when con-
siderable weight presses upon them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands, raise
the heads end almost perpendicular and
| chuck the butt end into the butt Of the
one beneath, then lower and push out to
place; the ends of some of the sIraws,
catching into the sheaf beneath, hold it
from sliding out. [ continue this practice
when drawing in" to top out" A
good man is needed TO pitch from the
wagon to the one on the stack who pitches
to the stacker. The sheaves should be
thrown within reach of the latter, who has
to move around as the stacker does. The
wagon should not be unloaded from the
same side Of the stack twice in succession.
The pitching-off should be done all
around, to prevent packing down the
| sheaves more in one place than another
The stack-pitcher should not stand in one
place longer than two minutes, but keep
moving in different circles about the
centre. His place is never nearer than 6
or 8 feet 10 the edge of the stack. Keep
centre full keep it pressed solid and even,
and then the stack will settle squarely
Stacked thus, sheaves will turn water as
readily as duck back. For stack of
Is feet in diameter the centre should be
kept feet higher than the outer edge

NEW YORK WOMEN.
An English Correspondents View of
American Ladies.

New York women are mostly very palid
and rather thin looking, says an English
correspondent, and though pleasant looks
are common, and a certain amount of ele-
gance by no means rare, real beauty, as we
understand the word, among the ladies of
New York is most conspicuous by its COM
pIete absence. This was a disappoint-
ment, for, having frequently heard of la
belle Americana, and indeed having in my
time met few pretty American ladies on
the continent, it was only natural to ey-
pect la belle Americana existing in New
York itself. But after having looked for
her in vain in the opera, in the hotels, in
the streets, in the tram cars, along the
avinues, driving in Central park, or in the
train on the elevated railways we are
obliged, at tie end of eight days, reluct-
antly to acknowledge that beauty among
New York ladies Is a fraud" During
the whole of those eight days we ''Iocat-
ed only FIVE handsome women. They
turned out to be two English. one French
and two Americans. 1t is to be hoped that
Boston and other cities manufacture bet
ter supply of the article than New York
it is my firm belief that they do. In fact,
we found many real beauties in Chicago
and in California, especially In San Fran
cisco.

HOW BEARS CLIMB TREES.
An East Indian Says They swarm Up, but
Is Not Sure.


That bears are good climbers is d we'll
known fact, says Land and Water, and
most sportsmen who have had experiences
with the Indian black bear (Ursus labiatus)
will call to mind their readiness to charge
when encountered on foot or horseback
but we imagine that the following Incl
dent, related by that well-known sports
man, J. D. lnverarity, II paper publish
ed in the journal of the Bomba Natural
History Society," is unique. 1t appears
that in May, 1880, M Inverarlty, accom-
panied by Capt. Burton, of the Royal
fusileers, was beating a rocky hill in the
central provinces. Hewas posted in a big
tree about thirteen feet from the
ground, when a female bear galloped past
him at but a few yards distance. His first
shot rolled her over, but the second acted
as 'pick-me-up, for she jumped up and
charged straight at the tree, which she be-
gan to climb.
Quickly, as Mr. Inverarlty reloaded, he
was Ouly just In time, for the bear was on
the point Of hugging one of his feet when
he fired, the Express" bullet hitting her
inside the head of the humerus and split
ting open the scapula, which was broken,
and then entered the cavity Of the chest.
The animal was so close that the hair on
her face and chest was scorched and the
wads driven into the wound. A shot at
such close quarters naturally tumtled the
bear over, and she dropped, venting her
rage on Mr.. Inverarity's hat, which had
fallen off in the scrimmage But Mrs.
Bruin Was not done with yet, for she made
off at a slow walk Mr.. Inverarity then
gave her two more shots, both of which
hit, one being placed we'll forward, and
again knocked her over. She still was
able to walk, however, and needed another
snot from Capt. Burton, who was posted
about 100 yards off, to finish her
The account is admirably illustrated by
Autograph taken from a photograph
made on the spot-Mr. Inverarity gettin Q
into the tree and having the bear tied on
In the position it assumed in life. He
states, however, that in the illustration,
which gives very correct representation
the bear is not high enough up the tree.
the highest point she reached, as shown
by actual measurement, being eleven feet
six inches up the trae and alongside his
right foot. He adds, humorously, that as
he had other things to think about, he il
not sure if he observed accurately the
bears method of climbing, but that she
appeared to swarm up with her belly close
to the tree and her legs we'll round the
pole. We congratulate this good sports.
man on such good scuffie, and are very
glad that he did not come off second best

THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING

The hours are long twixt the robins song
At the dusk and tie days returning,
Though the moon rides high in a cloudless sky
Aud the stellar lights are burning.
When the fevered brain is racked with pain
And sleep, our pillow scorning,
Has passed us by and we signing lie
And watch for the light of the morning.
Fair hopes take flight with the fading light
And the heart grows sad and weary
In the cherries gloom of lonely room
Through the mIdnights silence dreary
And the bright dreams fed and the loved one
dead,
Once hallowed with hopes adorning,
Only stir the heart to increase its smart
AS we watch for the light of the morning.
Bun the night goes by and the mornings eye
Is bright with kindly beaming
As the sun rays fall on the chamber wall
'Twixt the parted curtain streaming;
And the saddening gloom Of lonely room
Departs with the days returning
New hopes upsprng and our griefs take wing
As we welcome the light of the morning
The longest night has its end in light
And for the gloom comes the rich adorning
Of the earth and skies as the starlight dies
In the smile of the radiant morning.

or four letters since we've been engaged,
because he's been in the city all the time,
but when he does write one it looks so
funny. it's all filed with marks like
this = and then he marks character
'ands' like this-'&'-and puts ring
around them. And at the end of all his
sentences he puts a cross like this-,x.'
then when he makes a figure he puts a
ring around it, and always draws two lines
under his signature. And sometimes he
draws line through capital letters, and
once he crossed a word out and then drew
ring around it and marked it 'stet.' It's
awfully funny. | can't make any thing

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

The following poem has made period
cal circuits Of the press for many years
Last January it was afoat again, credited
to Wideawake. 1t is now once more OF
its rounds, credited sometimes to various
papers and again to none, and the author
name is never gwen. 1t was written by
Robert JosseIyn and was published as Ions
ago as 1858, when it appeared in a worE
entitled Poets and Poetry of Vermont.
She is modest. but not bashful.
Free and easy but not bold;
Like an apple ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too DID,
Half inviting, half repusing,
Not advancing and not shy;
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is sChooled in all the arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
q, maid is sometimes charming,
But he widow all the while.
Are you sad? How very serious
VIII her handsome face becomel
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely. friendess fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring outl
She can lure and catch and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise;
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love looks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But | know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.
