not all the guessing that the tennis enthusiasts
have been required do this season. o. > Campoeil
has been abroad since winter and though he mas
been playing steadily since the season opened
IN England, and reports Of his matches have been
received on this side of the Atlantic, there Is
absolutely no way in which people here can Judge
of his form as compared with that OF the most
expert OF the other American players Thus the
question OF Campbe's success failure In the
match which will decide the championship Of
America for another year Is entirely matter Of
conjecture.

The Story of a Picture.

The death of John Graves, London
print dealer, may recall to some the pic
ture entitled "Can't You Talk!' The
history of its production, as told by Mr..
Graves under the shade of the historic
mound at Waterloo, is interesting. See.
ing one of his children playing with
pet collie dog one day, the idea occurred
to him that the subject would make
charming picture, and he gave COM
mission to an artist to carry out his idea.
The price was one thousand dollars, and
the picture was exhibited at the ROYAL
Academy's exhibition, where 1t attract
ed the notice of the Prince aud that
Princess of Wales, who expressed de-
sire to purchase it. Mr.. Graves, who
had placed on it what he considered the
prohibitory price of $4,000, informed the
Prince that as he had had the picture
painted solely for the purpose of en-
craving, he did not wish to dispose of
it; but the Prince granted grae;ously
the engraving rights ami became its pur-
chaser. Up to the present time repro
ductions OF the picture have netted more
than S120, 900. Near the field of Water
loo Mr.. Graves purchased an estate sew
eral years ago, and he was almos. a
monomanic on the subject of that de-
cisive battle. He confined his reading
exclusively TO it, and he possessed sim
gular collection of books that had refer
ence to it.-Boston Transcript.

The German Hors shoe.

The Germans ar using new style Of
horseshoe. Instead of the horseshoe be.
ing--simply curved piece of iron, part
of the shoe is made of rope. The shoe
is made of malleable iron, and on the
bottom is deep groove, running from
end to end. In this groove tightly fits
the new feature of the shoe-a piece Of
tarred rope. The rope is about three
quarters of inch thick. The stands are
firmly twisted, and the application OF
tar makes the bit of hawser tough and
durable, yet soft enough to afford the
horse a relief unknown with the ordin-
arv shoe. The shoe is fastened to the
hoof by four nails driven through the
rope on each side. The tarred rope
resting on the pavement gives the horses
a firm grip on the ground, and as it
makes the shoe much lighter and inf
nitely more comfortable than the solid
iron, its advantage is readily apparent.
The new invention increases the horses
pulling power and saves the hoofs deal
of hard wear which cannot but result
from the iron shoe pounding the rough
pavements. sporting World.

why Quicksaads swallow One.

The reason person sinks in quick
sand is because the latter is composed
chiefly of small PARTICLES of mica mixed
largely with water. The mica is SO
smooth that the fragments slip upon each
other with the greatest facility, so that
any heavy body which displaces them
will sink and continue to sink until a
solid bottom is reached. When particles
of sand are ragged and angular any
weight pressing On them will crowd them
together until they are compacted into
solid mass. A sand composed of mica
or soapstone, when mixed with sufficient
water, seems incapable of such consolids-

AUTUMN'S MIRTH

'Tis all a myth that Autumn grieves
For, watch the rain amid the leaves;
With silver fingers dimly seen
1t makes each leaf tambourine,
And swings and leaps with el6n mirth
To kiss the brow of mother earth,
Or, laughing mid the trembling grass,
1t mods a greetin, as you pass.
Oh Hhear the rain amid the leaves
IT'S all myth that Autumn grievesi
'Tis all a myth that Autumn grieves,
For. list the wind among the shsaves;
Far sweeter than the breath Of May,
Or storied scents of old Cathay,
IT blends the perfumes rare aud good
or spicy pine and hickory wood,
AMI with a voice as gay as rhyme,
1t prates of rife mint and thyme.
Obi scent the wind among the sheaves-
'Tis all a myth that Autumn grievesl
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves,
Behold the wondrous web she weaves;
By viewless hands her thread is spun
OF evening vapors shyly won.
Across the grass from side to side
A myriad unseen shuttles glide
Throughout the night, til on the height
Aurora leads the laggard light,
Behold the wondrous web she weaves-
IT'S all myth that Autumn grieves!

Where Aud When America Originated.

1t was not until 1887 that Alexander
Won Humbolt, in his critical examination
of the history and geography of the new
world, pointed out the real culprit, and
showed beyond question that the name
america" was first suggested in small
Latin treatise on cosmography, written
by one Martin Waldseemuller, and pub
llshed during the year 1907 at Saint Die,
a village situated in the upper valley of
the river Meurthe, in southeastern Lor-
raine. This little book was entitled
Cosmographiae Observation-Disclosures,
ton to Cosmography-and the story of
its authorship and publication, and the
unforeseen part that it played in christen-
ing the Western hemisphere, forms one
of the most curious narratives in the
whole record of photography. Whether
Humboldt made this interesting discov-
cry by mere accident of research, or was
led to it by Foscarini or Bandini-who
in two successive editions of Solinus had
noted the suggestive passage in the Cos
mographae, without apparently COM
pretending its real Importance ce-cannot
now be ascertained. However this may
have been, it was the author of Cosmos
who first took up seriously the task Of
vindicating the long-maligned Floren-
tine, and in so doing threw into the
arena topic in the discussion of which
photographers have ransacked Libraries,
labored and disputed, until the whole
line of evidence has been developed, ar
ranged, and the demonstration made
complete. A publication which in the
dim early twilight of American history
made the little hamlet of Saint Die the
godmother of our mighty continent is an
object of no ordinary interest to Ameri-
cans, and this fourth centenary OF
Columbus's discovery would seem to be
fitting moment in which to bring to-
gether in simple narrative form the sub
stance of what is known concerning the
Cosmographiae itself, the men by whom
it was written and published, the place
where they lived, and the motive by
which their work was inspired

Trees That Sting.

In Australia grows curious treo
which is dangerous as we'll as wonderful.
In the old trees the stem is grayish
white and red berries grow on the top.
The leaf is nearly round and jagged e.,
around its edges like a nettle ani mas IL
point at the top. The tree emits very
disagreeable odor. This tree when
touched stings one like hornet. A
traveller says: 81 have seen man who
treats ordinary pain lightly, roll on the
ground in agony after being stung, and
l know horse so completely maddened
after getting into grove of these trees,
that he rushed open -mouthed at every
one who approached him and had to be
shot. Dogs when stung will rush about
whining piteously, biting pieces from
the affected part. New York World.

Manufacture Of EnsiIage.

That the extensive introduction of en-.
silage as a stock-feeding article was not
long since accomplished in the United
States is a matter of surprise, consider
ing the fact that the system has been In
vogue in nearly all European countries
for years.
About fifteen years ago the discovery
was made by August Goffart, of Burton,
France, that placing corn fodder in an
air-tight cellar or silo, it could be SO
preserved as to retain all its rich su
culent Juices, and possess feeding value
for stock superior to any Other winter
forage. Goffart's first successful sllo was
established in 1873, and though many
notifications have since been made in
the construction of silos, the method in
use at present is identical with the first
plant erected.
In 1879, Francis Morris, of Maryland,
built the first silo in this country. The
general use of ensilage was, however,
long retarded, first, because of the ap-
parentiy heavy expense attending the
construction of silos; and next, owing
to the inability to secure the proper ma
chinery for preparing the fodder for the
silo. After many unfortunate and dis
couraging experiences, this difficulty has
been solved, and ensilage has already be.
come a standard product with ma.
jority of the intelligent dairymen and
stockraisers in the country. OF late
years farmers institutes have given the
subject much consideration, and the es-
tablishment Of silos have been generally
recommended.
in the State of Wisconsin the use OF
ensilage has become especially popular,
and here, too, have. been built the larg-
est establishments for the production OF
machinery. Those who have investi-
gated the subject thoroughly say that the
adoption of the silo means better kept
stock; an increase of at least fifty per
cent. in the winter product of the dairy,
and the wintering of all kinds of stock
in our northwestern climate for about
one-half of the cost of feeding under the
ordinary method.-Chicago Graphic.

PERCHANCE.

Perchance in that mysterious realm, 50 far
and vague and dim.
You cannot hear the cadence Of this worlds
undying hymn
A song of Love which thrills my soul like
chant of cherubim.
Perchance there is no note Of mine which
may your soul beseech-
No sound which tells you of the heights that
earth's joys sometimes reach
When dwelling with sublimer thoughts than
mortal lips may teach.
Perchance there is no song Of Love that
heavenly choirs bave banned;

If only you, of all the world, shall hear and
