GOING HOME.

Kiss me when my spirit flies
Let the beauty Of your eyes
Beam along the waves Of death
While I draw my parting breath.
And am borne to yonder shore
Where the pillows beat no more,
And the notes of endless spring
Through the groves immortal ring.
am going home tonight,
Out of blindness into sight;
Out OF weakness, war and pain
Into power, peace and gain;
Out Of winter gale and gloom
Into summer breath and bloom;
From the wand'rings Of the past
am going home at last.
Kiss my lips and let me go
Nearer swells the solemn flow
or the wondrous stream that rolls
BY the borderland Of souls
can catch sweet strains OF songs
Floating down from distant througs,
And can feel the touch Of hands
Reaching out from angel bands.
Anglers frown and envy's thrust,
Friendship chilled by cold distrust,
Sleepless night and weary morn,
Toll in truitiess land f%orlorn,
Aching head and breaking heart,
Love destroyed by SANDERS dart
Drifting ship and darkened sea,
Over there will righted be.
Sing In numbers low and sweet,
Let the songs Of two worlds meet
We shall not be sundercd long
Like the fragments OF a song.
Like the branches Of a rill,
Parted by the rock or hill,
We shall blend in tune and time,
Loving on in perfect rhyme.
When the noontide Of your days
Yields 10 twilight's silver haze,
Ere the world recedes in space,
Heavenward lit your tender face;
Let your dear eyes homeward shine,
Let your spirit call for mine,
And my own will answer you,
From the deep and boundless blue.
Swifter than the sunbeam's fight
Twin cleave the gloom of night,
And will guide you to the land
Where our loved mes waiting stand;
And the legions O. tie best
There shall welcome YOU to rest
They will know you when your eyes
On the isles OF glory rise,
When the parted streams OF lie
Join beyond all Earring strife,
And the flowers that withered lay
Blossom in immortal May,
When the voices hushed and dear
Thrill once more the raptured ear,
We shall feel and know and see
God knew better far than We.

While we strongly advocate the use
of the least amount of fencing that can
be made to answer for the garden or
the fruit farm, yet, when there isno al
tentative but to have a fence, let us
have a good one. At the side or rear
end of a town lot n tight fence is usual
" required to cut off the back yard
from other back yards. Instead OF the
ordinary board fence with straight
top, one made after the pattern here

whales, Large and Small.

The baleen whale rarely swallows any
thing larger than a herring, shoals of
which are entangled in the fbers Of
whalebone already described. The av-
ity of the baleen whales mouth is big
enough to contain a ships longboat, but
the opening of the gullet is not larger
than a mans fist. The sperm whale,
however, besides an immense mouth,
has a outlet wide enough to take in a man
of Jonah's size without choking. The
Greenland whale is sixty or seventy feet
long, with a tail six feet long and TWEEN
ty.f1e feet wide. His mouth is fifteen
or sixteen teet long and ten or twelve
feet high inside, but his eye IS not big
ger than that of an OK. They, like other
whales, propel themselves through the
water mainly by means of their powerful
tails. Their speed is four or five miles
IN hour, swimming near the surfacs.
They usually come up every eight or ten
minutes for air, but can remain down for
half an hour or more; they generally
STAY on the surface for about two minutes
during which they blow eight or nine
times and then dive under again. One
of the most interesting peculiarities Of
whales is their spouting or blowing up
lets of water from the top of the head.
This ia simply a means the whale has OF
getting rid of the water taken into the
mouth in catching his food or otherwise.
The baleen whale, for instance, in catch
ing a shoal of herring gets his big mouth
full of salt water. and as this wouldn't
agree with him if swallowed it is forced
out through the blow holes which are
also his external breathing apparatus

Wonderful Work OF Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect pound
Of clover honey, deprive $4,000 clover
blossoms of their nectar. To do this
the So, 900 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of 3,75o,ooo bees. Or, in
other words, to collect his pound of
honey one bee must make 3,75O,0O0
trips from and to the hive. the enor-
nous amount of work here involved pre-
cludes idea of any mi bee ever living
long enough to gather more than the
fraction of a pound of nectarine sweets.
AS bees are known to fly for miles in
quest of suitable fields of operation it is
clear that a single ounce of honey re.
presents millions of miles of travel. Il
Is no wonder that these industrious little
insects have earned the reputation o.
being ''busy" bees.--st. Louis Republic

FURNITURE ~DRAPERrEs.

Everybody is thankful to know that
furniture millinery is very much out Of
date. Scarfs and curtains and sashes
and ribbons no longer hang on picture
frames and from the corners of mantel-
shelves or pianos or on chair backs.
Quite the correct thing for a mantel is to
have a scarf just as long as the shelf and
about two inches wider, and to frill it
on the shelf with nothing hanging over,
and on this place the pretty articles. The
same treatment applies to the piano. A
lovely scarf is of yellow silk just the
piano length and twice its width, stif1y
embroidered haphazard in yellow and
green in crescent moons. Crumple this
lengthwise on the piano, and place on it
what you please of bric-s-brac, always
including a green plant growing in a yell
low jar. II the back of the piano shows,
it with sage green silk, failed on
lengthwise, and drape over this, caught
up on one side, a drapery Of yellow.
Nothing coul be prettier than a piano
back so treated. The fashion of the mo-
ment Is to have white dotted Swiss sash
curtains in all except the parlor windows.
These should be edged with a dainty lit
tie white bali fringe, and tied back with
yellow, green or white ribbons.
Last year yellow was all the fashion.
This year it is green. Everything in a
way of household decoration is green,
and even old chairs done up in enamel
naints. ia look like new. are made greer.
Even curtain poles are painted green
nowadays, and an artistic window has a
silk sash curtain of apple-green China
silk, a shade of green linen, a pole
painted green and draped with three
yards of green sateen to match the sash
curtain. The effect, it must be said, is
~singularly bright and pretty. On tables
as scarfs, and for bookshelf curtains, the
correct thing is corduroy ~velveteen, very
simply finished with a ball fringe match
ing in color.-Daughters of America.

Farmers Bulletin No. s, Of the United
states Department Of Agriculture, pre-.
psred by DR.. D. E. Salmon, Chief Of the
Bureau OF Animal Industry, consists of a
review of several attempts made in re-
cent years for the protection of swine
against hog cholera by incubation. It
presents a large amount of evidence
gathered from those who have tried it,
giving the results of their experience, as
also q full report of the incubation x
periments conducted III La Sale County,
illinois, last year under the supervision
Of a committee of farmers. DR.. Sal
mons conclusions, based upon the evil
dence which he presents in this bulletin
upon the results of Che Investigations
made by the bureau On the subject, is
that incubation as a preventive against
hog cholera is a failure from whatever
point Of view it be regarded, and the
farmers are warned against the use of
that method. which he shows to have
been in many cases more fatal than the
disease it is intended to prevent. As an
Instance of this he cites the fact that
whereas the losses following incubation
IN Nebraska during the past year were
ten per cent, the losses among u%ninocu-
lated animals were but four per cent.

HUMANE WATERING OF HORSES.

That a horse should never be watered
,ofteaer than three times a day, or In
itwenty-four hours, is a mistaken idea
and brutal practice. A horses stomach
liz very sensitive and will suffer under the
least interference, causing a teverish con-
ldition. Feeding a horse principally on
grain and driving it five hours without
water is like giving a man salt mackerel
for dinner and not allowing him to drink
before supper. II you know anything
about the care of horses and have any
sympathy for them, water as often as
they want to drink-once an hour If pos
sible. By doing this you will not only
be merciful to your animals, but benefit
yourself, as they viii do more work look
better. and live longer. II you are a
skeptic, and know more about horses
than any one else, you are positive that
the foregoing is wrong, because you have
had horses die from watering too much,
