The SONG OF THE TEXAS CORN

The SONG OF THE TEXAS CoRl
was dry and dusty,
was weak and weary.
Now I'm glad ana lusty,
And the earth looks CHEEKY.
Oh, the soaking,
Mirth-provoking,
Laughter making rain;
Soft and silky,
Mild and milky,
Grows my golden grain.
Listen TO the laughter
That my leaves are making,
When the wind comes after
Kisses, softly shaking
oh, th-giving,
Breathing, living.
Heaven-p uring rain;
Come, caress me.
Kiss me- bless me,
Once and once againi
Let your hearts be singing;
Peal your pelns, people;
Set the joy-bells ringing
In each lofty steeple.
Praises render
To the sender
OF the joyous rain;
OF the living,
The life giving,
OF the precious rain.
John P. Sjolander, in Galveston News.

Catalina Timber.

OF late years the catalpa has been
made to serve an excellent purpose in the
furniture trade. 1t was used especially
and with good effect by railroad car
builders. 1t is, however, losing its
name as catalpa, and is known by the
furniture dealers as white mahogany. 1t
has also occurred in tle trade u1der the
name of Pavara, but what is the deriva-
ton of this name is not known. In
Philadelphia 1t is coming into extensive
use, Meehan's Monthly.

"The habit of great men in the matter
of sleep forms an interesting subject of
inquiry said X. w. Jacobs, of Boston,
at one of the hotels, Yesterday, land l
believe such an Inquiry would show
that those who have made the greatest
mark in the worlds history have always
taken 1t in abundance. There is popu-
lar belief that Napoleon TOOK only four
or five hours rest, but to my m.ni the
theory has grown out of the desire of
his admirers to show that in this matter,
as in all others, he differed from his fell
lows. As a matter of fact, it was i'm
possible to tell how long he slumbered,
but it is certain that like the generals
of our own Civil War, he availed himself
CT every opportunity to seek the great
est of all means of relief from fatigue.
Even when conslderin his plans on the
occasion of the greatest eyeat of his
military career-tIe battle OF Waterloo
the hour left him before the decisive
moment arrived was occupied with a
snooze, which he took with dellberation,
after giving instructions to one of his
aids to arouse him at the given time.
so great, indeed, was his love of a nap,
that his most trusted companions in
arms always showed regard for his
feelings on the subject of never disturb
ing him. Napoleon's case is only that
of most military heroes, and of most
great men. Gladstone rarely takes less
than seven hours sleep. Whenever he
is preparing for great effort in the
House of Commons, he always likes a
short afternoon siesta. Bismarck has
displayed similar habit on the occa-
sion of the most severe parliamentary
debates. When all-night sittings were
common, Parnsli would go to his hotel,
seek his bed and leave instructions with
one of his colleagues to have him aroused
whenever critical point was reached.
These are only a few examples of the
great men who have shown their thorough
appreciation of that great boon which
'knits up the ravelel sleeve of care. J" -

FALLS CHURCH, March Is, 1892
The second public meeting to consider the
building OF an electric road from this village to
Washington was held last evening at the Odd
Fellows Hall. The committee appointed at the
last meeting to confer with the Washington and
Arlington Railroad Company reported that they
had submitted to that company a number of
questions, to which they had requested written
replies. The answer by the company had
failed to touch upon number of points which
the committee considered important. The
company estimated the cost of the road from
Falls Church to their line at s11O, 600 and
wished the people of Falls Church to subscribe
for $40. eco of the SI00, 0006 per cent bonds to
be issued. with the first five coupons detached
The committee was of the opinion that the offer
OF the Washington aud Arlington company was
not desirable one for the people of Falls
Church and recommended that it be not ac-
cepted. The report Of the committee was
unanimously approved and a committee of nine
was appointed to continue the agitation for an
electric or other railroad to the city. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed: Messrs.
VIM. Douglass, NJ. E. Church, E. C. Hough. g.
W. Hawxhurst. g. b. Ives, s. v. Proudtt, j. E.
Febrey, Mayor Thomas Hitler and w. s. Hoge
Mr.. Douglass was appointed to represent Ball
ston and Mr. Hoge TO represent Fostoria. The
work of the committee will be to encourage in
all possible ways the building of road by one
OF the companies now holding charters.
