How a Russia n Peasant Dies.

Count Leo Tolstoi described thus
recently to Octave Houdaille, who visited
him at Jasnaja-Pojana, how a Russian
peasant dies:
"Death is dark and terrible on the
the canvas of the painter, but here in
this country it is almost a picture of
mirth. l just came from peasants
deathbed. The man knew that he must
die and his PAIN lasted several days, yet
not once did his serenity of soul leave
him. When death was quite near, and,
as is customary, waxed taper was placed
in his hand, his face assumed an expires
sion of unutterable happiness. 1t seems
strange to me that after such scene
that have felt so little emotion. Aside
from all religious feeling, death is for
these people a release from trouble;
therefore, all absence Of the cloud OF
sorrow seen elsewhere. 1t is the peace,
the slumber which the peasant has
longed for in the depth of his misery,
and the sorrow of living is over"

The consumption of those delicious
crustacea, crabs, In botn varieties, hard
and soft shell, has grown so fast, de-
clares the Boston Transcript, that a
goodly sum is invested in the fisheries.
At Crisfeli, Nd, which has been the
principal point of production since some
body there started the business about
fifteen years ago, to the amusement of
unbelievers, there are employed nine
hundred to a thousand people, over
seven hundred boats are in use, capital
amounting, to nearly $40, 900 is required,
and the catch foots up about 5000, 900
crabs year, valued at $150,000.

Souther Farm, near San Leandro,
CAL, has constructed and fully equipped
a saltwater swimming tank, and it is be-
lieved to be the first ever built for the
use of horse training farm. Expert
ment so far have all gone to demonstrate
the practicability of the swimming tank
as a labor saving device for training,
which will sooner OF later come into
general use. Horses, like all other ami
mails, require baths, and it is claimed
that while taking his bath he indulges
in swimming, which affords a different
but as helpful exercise as does the track.
Swimming is now elaine to be a great
assistance in developing speed, and the
drudgery of track aud road work is
thereby wonderfully reduced. The tank
at Soutier Farm has concrete basin,
ninety feet long over all, twenty feet
wide and eight feet deep. From each
wall there is an easy grade to deep
water, making it safe for horse to walk
down. A platform is constructed over
the centre of the tank, which swings
from the roof. Upon this elevation a
man stands and guides the swimming
horses, giving them the required amount
oi exercise.

MY LITTLE BIRDS SONG.
My little bird sings all the day,
Cipos Of a mo oif. land away

My little bird sings all the day,
Sings of magic land away
Beyond the darkness and the gloom
Where all is sunshine, scent and bloom
Where buttercups and daisies play
In fragrant meadows through the day;
Where sloping hills and flowing streams
Know only blue sky's happy sheen,
And this my little bird tells me!
My little bird sings in the night
Sings of that magic land of light
Where never diamond stars arise
To stud the shadow sprinkled skies
For there the hours go glancing gay
They know no other than the day.
With bud and blossom blushing bright
And dance of dainty sunbeams' light
And this my little bird tells mel
I asked my little bird to-day,
This magic land doth lie which way?
East? South? Where sunsets gates wide
sweep?
Perhaps the North star sentry keepsr'
My little bird up in his swing
just pauses, mods, then blithely sings,
"The olden road of love commands
Sole entrance to the magic land!"

ACROSS THE SEA.

Across the sea, the shining Southern sea,
Is she with whom am full fain to be,
Though well know her heart has turned
from me.
Fly through this wintry, rainy Northern
air
Fly, Love, to her! Fly, eager Love, to
where
The purple South smiles, warm and flushed
and fair!
Stand by her. Love, when fast asleep she
lies
And drop for me, on her dear lips and eyes,
kiss, that for my longing shall suffice.
Be thou to her as song, and scent, and shine;
Let all thy dearest memories combine
To turn once more her queenliest heart to
mine.

Pleuro- pneumonia is one of those
things, admits the American Dairyman,
that will not down" We can keep it
pretty well under control in this country,
where the air is comparatively dry, but
in moist England it keeps bobblng up
serenely. Just now it is making consid-
cradle trouble and great losses to the
farmers in various parts of England and
Scotland Sixteen outbreaks have been re-
ported and S72 head of cattle slaughtered
in the past eight weeks. This looks to
us in this country as fearful slaughter.
There have been few outbreaks on the
Atlantic coast, where the air, we presume,
is more moist than in the interior, but
this disease has never taken on an epi-
demic form here, as it constantly threat
ems to do in some countries in Europe,
and will do unless the most energetic
remedies are constantly employed. Long
Island seems tc carry the burden of these
ills for the United States, at least such is
the frequent report of the authorities,
but always denied by those who live
there. 1t has the misfortune, so far as
pleuro- pneumonia is concerned, to be
entirely surrounded by water, thus max
ing the atmosphere damp and arousing
the suspicious of the doctors. Like
conditions, they think, are liable to pro
duce like results.

made his appearance at the dwelling
where they had spent happy days
together. The people Of the house
were astonished when they saw him
and at first thought he had come
back from the dead. When con-
WINGED that he was really alive they
hesitated to tell him the truth. At
length one summoned courage TO
confess TO the husband, now himself
almost crazy with fears for the worst,
that his bride was dead. Wild with
grief, he demanded to be taken at
once to her grave. He was escorted
there and shown the little mound.
