Under Melting Butter.

An Abyssinian will tell you without
blush that he is necessarily washed
at birth, cleans himself on his marriage
morn and hopes to be washed after
death; that once every year he dips
himself in the river on the festival of
st. John the Baptist, and regularly
every morning he vets the end of his
toga with the moisture from his mouth
and freshens up his eyes. Whenever he
feels the hide hard and uncomfortable
he anoints himself with mutton fat. OF
morning one may see the jeunesse
doree of a town stalking with body
erect and with about pound of butter
stuck on their heads gradually melting
under the increasing power of the sun.
The men may look a shade cleaner oc-
casionally, caused not by any act of
their own, but through the accident of
being for hours in a rainstorm, which
at this season occurs daily, but even
then the odor of rancid mutton fat inn
pregnates the atmosphere wherever he
may be.--Century.

The exhibits which form the feature
of the ninth annual exposition are now
in perfect order for the opening next
Wednesday, when Gilmore's band with
100 pieces will give grand concert,
which will be attended not only by
thousands of visitors, but also by the
governors of Missouri and other states,
each accompanied by a large suite. As
Gilmore's New York engagement does
not terminate until Tuesday morning, it
has been necessary to charter special
train to bring him here in time for the
opening on the evening of September
Z. The train will bring the largest as
we'll as the finest band ever heard in
the west, and it is safe to say that the
PLAYING of one hundred skilled musi-
clans under the leadership of the great
est band master of the day will afford
a musical treat such as has never been
attempted heretofore in the west.
The general attractions OF the Expo
sition will be more numerous and gen
orally speaking much grander than in
the past. In each of the eight success
full seasons of the st. Louis Exposition
new features have been introduced
but the number of novelties this veal
is much greater than usual and al

grand one, and the electrical ane
mechanical departments also promise
unwonted attractions. The manage
ment announces that an inclusive fee o

| are English boys, and that you could
do no less than stand the maiden in her
peril"
The governor was as good as his
! word and kept them all in his castle
not as prisoners, but as guests-until
their ship came and carried them safe
ly away.
Of course there can be only one
sequel to such scene, either in fact or
fiction. William Temple must fall des-
perately in love with Dorothy Osborne
for her beauty and her bravery. That
was precisely what happened, and
Dorothy returned his love. But Doro-
thy Osborne was too beautiful and ac-
complished girl not to have many
other admirers. In short time Oliver
Cromwell became the chief magistrate
of England, and his son, Henry Crorn-
we'll, also fell liz love with Dorothy.
Nothing was too much trouble for
Henry Cromwell to do for Dorothy Os-
borne. She was fond of large dogs, as
some pretty girls of our own time are,
and young Cromwell had orders sent
to his fathers officers in Ireland to pro-
cure for her the finest greyhound to be
found in that kingdom.
Temple was an unknown young
man, and Cromwell was the son of the
lord protector, and Dorothy's family
frowned upon Temple, and gave every
encouragement to Cromwell. But
Dorothy was true to her love. One of
her brothers Qet us be sure it was not
brother George) demonstrated with
her, and she wrote to Temple: 1--WE
talked ourselves weary; he renoun,ed
me, and defied him." After an in
terval of two centuries and half
every American boy and girl will say
that Dorothy Osborne was full of pure
grit
Both were very young, and the
courtship lasted for seven years before
they were married. Twenty years
later young Cromwell was forgotten,
and Sir William Temple was one of 4he
greatest men and Lady Dorothy
Temple one of the greatest ladies in
England. He held SO many important
public offices that mere list of them is
too long to print. Twice he refused to
be made secretary of state. He and
Dorothy lived happily together for
many years, and at length they were
laid side by side in Westminster
Abbey, where they still lie. Dorothy
died in 1894. and Sir William Temple
in 1899. Perhaps we should call her
Lady Temple, but who can think
of her standing before the parlimen-
tary governor, shouting: "God save the
kingw and call her anything but
Dorothy?
The basis of this true story may be
found in Lord Macaulay's essay on
Sir William Temple. William Drys-
dale, in Harper's Young People.

Whose sheep lie asleep on the nursery floor
Whose herd through the newly tasseled corn

Then he fell asleep in my easy chair,
And dreamed twas q haystack tall and fair:
But now he's awake, and wants his tea;
My little boy blue shall lunch with me.
And another, his sister. Did you not know
That he had sister some time agoS
With rosy cheeks and fioss-like curls,
To US. the dearest, best OF girls
dainty lass to love and kiss
To I'LL our hearts and home with bliss.
Many caresses to her befall,
But little boy blue gives most OF all.
Ever bonnie and winsome, fresh and sweet,
From her shining head TO her dimpled feet
She sits by my side in her tall high chair,
Like graceful lily pure and fair
Yes, Baby Erma, OF summers three,
And little boy blue, shall lunch with me.
Ali the years may pass as the years before,
And many guest pass through my door,
And pause at my board for lunch and tea,
But none will be ever so dear to me,
Or I'LL my life with such JOY as you,

with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rife storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after a struggle of
sixty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
to New York.
The captain is very interesting char
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
ject of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every argu-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said: 1.-THE fact that Capt. An
drews can cross the ocean in a cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or ship loaded with a heavy cargo,
but row beat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they are taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. / am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than Others" An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one
Capt. Andrews is by trade a piano
maker. He built the "Sapolio' at At

of people, and exhibited it on the Long

they were all marched 10 the castle

The governor of the island was an old
gentleman, but not too old to notice

described himself as William Temple,

illustration. Some use an ivory blade
to lift the bark.
The conditions for success are. 1, the
stock must be in a vigorous growing
state so that the bark will peel easily;
2, the bud must be well matured; s.
the knife must be sharp; 4, the work
must be done rapidly; 5, the buds
must be firmly and evenly bound in
place.
When everything is ready the first
thing is to prepare lot Of bud sticks,
shown in Fig. 3. Shoots of mediuro
size are selected, taking care to get
only those that have but ono leaf to 9
joint. The lie ayes are cut of as shown,
leaving about oLe-fourth Of an inch OF
the stem. These sticks are the growing
wood of the present year.
Make a cross CIT about two inches
from the ground, then longitudinal
one on the north side of the tree, SO as
not to be injured by freezing and thaw-
ing. At the same time raise the bark a
little, as shown in Fig. 8. A bud stick
is then taken and cut is made through
the bark about one-half inch above the
bud, taking only very thin portion OF
the wood. The length of the cut must
be varied for the different kinds OF
trees, say one-half inch long for
peaches and one inch for pears, cher.
ries and apples. The prepared bud is
shown in Fig. 4.
After the bud is cut the lower end is
inserted under .he raised bark of the
stock and pressed down. When the
bud is in position, as shown in Fig. 5, II
is tied by holding one end of the band
in the left hand, placing it against the
stock, and winding the other end over

the first SO az to hold it while both
hands are employed to bind the bud
smoothly and firmly. Wind first up
ward, crossing above the bud, return
and tie below the bud as shown in Fig.
6. The most important point in tying
is to bind the bark firmly and smoothly
over the bud. After the trees have been
budded a week or two they should be
examined, and if the growth is such
that the bands cut into the stock SO as
to injure it they should be loosened and
retied or cut on the back side il the bud
is well united.
The next spring after budding the
stock is cut off with sharp knife,
placing the blade on the opposite side
of the bud at the height of the cross
cut and making an upward stroke sc
that the knife will come out about one
inch above the bud. When growth be
gins rub off all buds from the stock Sc
that all the strength will go into the
inserted bud.-Farm and Home.
