SINGING BY THE WAY.

He sang es the blithe.hearted robin
x Sings in a summer day,
Unmindful that any listened
s To the music of his lay.
The Joy OF life and OF living
Seemed voiced in the simple strain
That filled the air with such sweetness
AS the fields have, after rain.
His weary and toll worn neighbor
Heard, and was glad to hear,
For into his life OF labor
1t threw a thrill of cheer.
. It lifted his'thoughts from sadness
Itcharmed away his care.
And the music and its gladness
Brought blessing, unaware.
We may all be singers, my brothers.
Of songs to help and cheer.
The strain may not be lofty;
There may be few to hear.
But into some life the music
OF the song we sing may fall,
Brave with its faith in the goodness
OF the God who is over all.
Let the joy of our lives run over
Our lips in n cheerful song,
And the WORLD may have more of sunshine
And the faint Of heart grow strong.
Sing, for the joy of singing,
And sing your cares away,
And share with others the eladness
That comes to you, day by day.

AS many tons of hay can be thus packed

nearly as many as can be put in the same

FEEDING HORSES.

Do not feed all horses alike regardless
of variation in size. Feed according to
what you find they need. One horse
will do better on three quarts of oats
than another on four quarts. Why is
this2 Oftentimes the reason is because
the one that has the greater quantity is
overfed, having eaten more food than it

He moved that there be stricken from the

Mr.. Bynum thought the journal should be
an accurate account of the proceedings Of the
House. 1t Was fact that MIR. Coombs had
been brought to the bar under arrest, and the
journal should record that fact.
On Mr.. Coombs' motion the vote stood u to

REDUCING SALARIES.

Was Necessary in His ONCE.
Mr.. Edbrooxe, supervising architect Of the
treasury, has orderd a considerable number of
reductions in his Office for the purpose of keep
ing the expenditures within the limits of the
appropriation. 1t was found that at the rate
matters were going the expenses were
running beyond the s2O0. 900 that was appro-
priated for the current year, and it became
necessary to cut down the salaries Of a number
of the clerical force of the Office. As a result
there are as many mourners as there were
salaries reduced. Between fifty and sixty are
affected by the reduction. The amount of
money that was saved in this way
could not be ascertaIned. but a STAR reporter
was informed by the chief clerk Of the Office
this afternoon that it was sufficient to accom-
piiSh the desired object. 1t is understood that
1t amounts to about $50 day. Among those
whose salaries have been Topped off is
Mr.. W. d. Window, son of the late Secretary OF
the Treasury. 1t was stated that there had
been no discharges made in the office. Assist

EIec rio Cartoons Must Pay DUTY.

Acting Secretary Spauiding Of the treasury
has written a letter to Mr.. Walker Fearn, chief
Of the department Of foreign affairs Of the
Columbian exposition, with reference to the
application for entry free Of duty Of electric
light carbons from Vienna for use at
the exposition. The letter says that
as it appears that the carbons are
to be sold to persons who propose using them
the department does not regard them as articles
for exhibition and they are therefore properly
subject to duty on importation. If they are to
be imported for exhibition by the manufact-
urers they would be entitled to free entrance
and would become dutiable only il withdrawn
from bond and entered for consumption.
