In and out and under the caves,
Blown about like the falling leaves.
Twittering swallows spend the season
Now the days are shortsr and chill.
There come from manyA musical bin
Notes OF instinct that Mound like reason
Well have they dined on bug and nudge.
Now they are perched upon the ridge
OF the old barn, that's warped and hoery.
There they sit. bright birds Of feather.
Holding twitter-talk alltoRether,
Each telling an after dinner story.
They will follow the summer bland;
To them no land Is foreign land.
One exclaimed. with joyous filter
ATrue cosmopolitans are we,
Home Is where we happen to be,
And swallows understand our twitter."
Then. In soft notes scarce could catch
One spoke of nest under the thatch
Ut a cottage where waves the willow
Another shook his velvet head,
And with his noisy neighbors plead
To fy with him Ger field and billow.
They talked about all sorts OF things:
Sharpened their bills and preened their wings
Then away, away. the tourists started,
Sailing over river and main.
Win they ever return poain
To the old home from which they've parted
o happy tourists OF the air.
Unburdened. free OF debt and care,
Would that had swift wings to follow
In the flight over land and sea,
With heart as light and wing as free
As the happy travelling swallow

1t Is Often Carried on the Upper Decks
OF Steamships to Keep 1t Cool.
Ammonia has been carried in con-
siderable quantities on the upper decks
of steamships, but in many vessels the
bottles, carboys, or tins are slowed In the
between decks. In fact, they are some
times slowed in vacant cabins Of cargo
vessels. The explosion Of one Of these
receptacles awakened attention to the
placing of such substances dangerously
near heat. The master Of the vessel on
whose ship the explosion happened I'M
screwed the tops OF all those unchanged,
and thus allowed the gas to blow of.
Restrictions on carriage Of dangerous
goods were imposed under the merchant
ahipping act, 1878, section % Of which
provides that if any person sends or at
tempts to send by, or, not being the mas
ter or owner Of the vessel, carries or at
tempts to carry in any vessel, British
or foreign, any dangerous goods, such as
aquafortis, vitriol, naphtha, gunpowder,
lucifer matches, nitroglycerin, petro-
leum, or any other. goods OF dangerous
nature, without distinctly marking their
nature on the outside Of the packages
containing the same. and also giving
written notice Of the nature Of such
goods and the name and address Of the
sender, he shall be liable to penalty
not exceeding e100; but IL the person
sending the goods on board Is merely an.
agent and ignorant Of its contents, the
penalty Is not to exceed ten pounds.
/ False description makes the sender
liable to penalty Of $500. The master
or owner Of ship may refuse to take on
board vessel any suspicious package,
and may require it to be opened to ascer-
| tain it's contents. Clause 90 in the act
has always been looked upon as q mis-
| take in legislation. The master OF a
ship is empowered to throw overheard
goods Of a dangerous nature which have
been sent without being marked or noti-
fed of their true character, and neither
the master nor the owner Of the vessel
shall be subject to any liability for such
casting into the sea, civil or criminal, in
any court.
| There is no reason for denouncing the
| carriage of ammonia by sea, but it is Of
the greatest Importance that each special
compound should be accurately defined,
and that 1t ought not to be exposed to
heat. II everything that expanded on
submission to heat were interdicted. the
shipping trade would be sadly ham,
pered. For example-yeast Is shipped
Tor conveyance. and is usually carried
ON deck. In hot weather the casks have
been broken and hoops burst from ex-
posture to the sun, although no material
damage is done. We could name other
breakages. but enough has been urged
to bring home the necessity for under
standing what to carry and where to
stow it.--Chemical Trade Journal.

catarrh.

People who are subject to catarrhal
ailments have special need to be particu-
lar in regard to their feet covering; they
should see to it that their feet are COM
fortably clad, their shoes should have
substantial soles. and should come well
up the ankles and not be laced or. but
toned tight. Light merino stockings or
half hose may be sufficient for warmth,
but whenever by reason Of much exer-
ciss the feet have become damp, and
especially il the leather has absorbed
wet, it is wise for change to be made
In both stockings and shoes. Halls

An Old Fashioned Phrase.

There is an old fashioned phrase of
hospitality which consists OF only two
words, and l find it parallel to the
Greek salutation, and like 1t, q COM

New England farmer to his guest be-
meath his roof. Now compare this COM

polite question, "Will you partake Of

the choice Of acceptance on the guest.

Close study and observation during
some years past lead me to believe that
it is quite possible to produce pork of
the best quality at one-third less than
the average cost, and one-half what it
costs under the poorest management.
In producing cheap pork, we also great
ly reduce the risk of loss from disease.
How can we reduce the cost of pork?
First, by reducing the time to produce
it. A thrifty, growthy pig that will
weigh 200 pounds gross, and which
gives meat well marked with lean is
most desirably. This weight can be
obtained at six months, and where a
butter dairy is run in connection with
pig growing, considerable greater
weight is possible. The points essen
tial to produce this weight at six
months are:
1. A good breed of hogs.
2. Mature mothers.
8. The care of the SOW during preg-
nancy. The mistake usually made is
in feeding too much corn and making
the sow too fat. / have come TO be n
great believer in roots for winter feed
ing of brood sows, both on the score of
economy and health.
4. The pigs must be taught to eat as
early as possible, and provided with a
pen or apartment which the sows cam
not enter, in which to feed them. They
will begin to eat regularly ut four
weeks old, then they can be weaned
without losing ANYTHING. Bran is best
food we have for developing bone and
muscle and little corn is help

Patrick Gilmore, the world renowned

ger, died last week at the Lindell
Hotel in st. Louis of heart failure due
to Indigestion. He had for several days
been feeling unwell and consulted a
physician. No one thought that he
was seriously i'll until his disease as
sumed an aggravated character and he
passed away at the age of g years,
just at a time when he was in full
possession of his fame and apparent
ly had many years of active life be-
fore him. 1t shows us how careful
we ought to be to resist the first at
tack of indigestion. Whenever this
malady assails US we should take the
Laxative Gum Drops the best remedy
for Indigestion and dyspepsia in the
market. These Gum Drops are mild
and agreeable, and certain in their ac-
ton. The small box costs 10 cents,
the large IS cents. Get them of any

A MARK OF PROGRESS.
Marriages Made After Long Waiting Ar

Marriages Made After Long Waiting Are
Often Happiest.
Accepted authority states that as ma
tions advance the approved age for a
woman to marry becomes proportion.
ately older, and cites instances of bar.
barous nations where the girls are mar
ried when they are mere children.
In these halcyon days of the nine.
tecnth century another mark of pro
gress is the fact that the age when a
woman becomes an old maid is no
longer twenty-five, but decade later,
thirty-fve. 1t may be said that the
maidens themselves have removed that
significant milestone; but, at any rate,
some one in a popular publication is re.
sponsible for the notice that such re-
moval has been made.
But suppose, after thirty years Of q
life filed with good and happy things,
a woman finally finds the one man, the
like of whom she has never met before.
He is mature, like herself; his character
is formed. and she knows to reason
able extent the man she decides to mar
ry. She gives up maidenhood with .

ICES what she is doing. She believes il
her fiancee and respects him profoundly
she has had evidence that their taste,
are harmonious, and that neither one ID
a mental beggar."
When such state of things exists Q
woman runs less risk in what is, after
all's said and done, but one grand ex
proves happy and withal successful,
then it is as it was originally designed.
Suppose, on the other hand, it is disas-
trous, there .re fewer years left in a
woman's life to live out her mis-
take. She has lost nothing by waiting.
There is a goodly amount of sound
sense in the oft-repeated saying of the
old Irish housekeeper: Better be shure
than sorry"
There is a good deal of silly talk
about a woman's being phlegmatic, in
capable of loving at twenty-five or
thirty, as she was at sixteen and twenty.
That's all nonsense. As a woman ma

moro to the one who wins it than when
she is at the uncertain, impressionable
age Of twenty.
Many urge early marriages on the
ground that the husband and wife
grow into each others ways more easily,
adapt themselves to each other more
readily, and thus live more harmon.
iously.
There are many natures which could
not adapt themselves to each other, no
matter when they were brought to-
gether, and those two people who
marry make q mistake fatal to their
happiness il they are not sensible
enough and reasonable enough, and
can SO supplement each other that they
can marry at forty a. well as Of twenty.
