THREE KISSES OF FAREWELL.
Three, only three my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow:
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know
When we kissed because we loved each other,
Simply to taste loves sweets,
And lavished our kisses as summer
Lavishes heats;
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament!
First of The three my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again;
When we pine because we miss each other,
Aud 10 not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye AMI hand.
kiss thee, dear: for any such pain
Which we may give or take;
Eured, forgiven, before it comes,
For our loves sake.
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full of joys sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always,
We always will.
We shall reach until we find each other
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
in every place.
The earth is full of messengers
Which love sen-is TO and fro;
kiss thee, darling, for all joy
Which we shall know
The last kiss, o my darling,
My love-I cannot see
Through my tears as remember
What it may be,
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they will not see
Who see our parting breath,
This one last kiss. my darling,
Seals the seal of death.
Sake Holm.

JELLIEs AND MARMALADEs.

Jelly making requires skill and care;
only the best quality Of fruit should be
used for making it, writes NJ j. Ashton
in the New York Observer. Many
housewives cook jelly too long, which
makes it strong and dark coored. Some
fail in making Jelly who have good sue
cess in canning and preserving. A few
rules will be Of use to them: Use the
best quality Of white sugar, cook in a
granite or porcelain lined kettle; boil
the juice five minutes or more before
adding the sugar, skim as often as any
scum arises; dip the tn nblers into hot
water Just before filing; have Jelly
bag made Of strong crash or white fan
mel, drain instead of squeezing the
pulp; strain the jelly after 1t is cooked
through cheese cloth just before put
ting it ilto the tumbers.
Apple Jelly Tart, juicy apples should
be used Maidens Blush aud the fall
pippin are excellent for jelly. The
Duchess AMI Rhode Island groeniug are
good for late made Jelly. Wash and
wipe the apples, and cut in quarters

Tame Wild Geese.

Wild geese, under certain conditions.
when caught, become quite domestic.
In Meeker, there are three owned at the
Meeker Hotel, which have been there
nearly five years. They were caught
when young, and for while after being
grown their wings were kept clipped.
Afterward no attention was paid to
them, and they were left to take care of
themselves, but they have never attempt
ed to leave, though they ramble about
the town unrestrained.
The supposition usually prevails that
wild geese usually build their nests in
the long grass and bushes draining the
isolated streams aud lakes, where they
usually congregate to rear their young,
Such, however, is not the case, for their
nests are often found in the tops of
trees. Qrte a resort for wild geese is
found at the headwaters of the Yampa
River, and year ago two boys living
near Steamboat Springs found nesl
on the the top of cottonwood tree.
The goose was sitting on the nest, and
the two boys shot her off, and then
climbed up to inspect the nest. 1t con
tanned quite number of eggs, and the
next thing discussed was how to ge
them to the ground First they tried
dropping them, the boy on the ground
holding his hat, but after breaking two,
that plan was abandoned, and then the
boy up in the tree thought of a novel
plan that worked to perfection. He took
off his boots and socks, aud placing the
latter inside the boots to form soft lin.
ing, carefully placed the eggs within,
then fastened the boots to the waistbaud
of his trousers by loosening his suspend
ers on either side and passing the ends
through toe finger straps of the boots,
and again buttoning them to the waist
band. Thus arranged he successfully
descended the tree.
The eggs, it seems, are next to indie
structible, and will stand plenty of rough
usage. In the present case the boys
were on horseback aud rode around all
afternoon with the eggs strapped in a
coat or saddle. They were placed that
night into pan until The morning fol-
lowing, and then it occurred to one of
the boys to place them under hen,
which was done. Seven of the eggs
were Matched, and the gosIings grew to
be fuli-grown geese. They would go to
the river every day and return to the &C
customed roost every night regularly,
and wait around for their breakfast be-
fore going to the river again in the mora
ing.-Denver Coli Times.

zen Schofield had a conference with the
PRESIDENT in regard to the participation of
United States troops in the ceremonies at

SMOKING FISH.

Fish that are dried for use are first
ealted lightly, and then smoked by hang.
ing them in a smokehouse and burning
bark or wood under them. But little
smoking is given unless the fish are in,
tended for long keeping. The smoking
preserves the fish by means of the pyro-
ligneous acid produced by the smothered
combustion of the wood aud deposited in
the flesh of the fish as the smoke cools.

WORKERS OF MAINE.
Some Things Commissioner Matthews
Says Concerning Them.

AUGUSTA, Me-, February 16.-The an
nual report Of Hon. S. W. Matthews,
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, has
been printed.
There have been but few labor trou-
bles, and those that have occurred have
not been of a serious nature. Much of
this happy condition Of affairs is to be
credited to the influence Of labor organi-
cations. AS a general rule, the radical
and impractical agitator has been rele-
gated to the rear, and in his stead have
arisen men possessed of intelligence,
moderation and honesty.
A personal canvass of wOrkingmen has
been made, and facts and statistics relat-
ing to many classes and conditions of
workingmen obtained. The whole num-
Der of reports obtained was 1882; num-
Der American born, S95; foreign born,
127; owning homes, 2S5: value of homes,
$405, $50; homes mortgaged, 60; amount
of mortgages, $2e, 1863; number renting,
481; having savings bank accounts, ISL !;
who have accumulated savings in former
years, 696; during the past year, sos; run
gained nor lost during the past year, 3S3.
An interesting article, written by Mel
len Plummer of Auburn, on "The Shoe
Industry in Auburn and Freeport," is
printed. The beginning of the firms
now at workiwas small. A.sP. Cobb, of
the present firm Of "A. P. White & Co.,
began in New Gloucester in 1874, and is
the oldest manufacturer in the business
in the state. John F. Cobb began busi-
ness in North Auburnlin 1o4S, and came
to Auburn in 1856. Mr.. Cobb was the
first shoe manufacturer of Auburn. In
1854, Ara Cushman began the manufac-
ture of shoes in West Minot, and in 1862
removed to Auburn. Other firms fol-
lowed, some of which have disappeared.
AS regards the present firms, the fol
lowing table will show the growth and
progress of the business:

The Relief of Peary.

PHILADELPHIA, February 16. - The
Peary relief committee estimate the cost
of the expedition at $4,000. In their
circular they say: '"The passage of Mel
vile Bay for a distance of 800 miles in
open boats is a hazardous undertaking,
especially by reason of the small party,
which will already be exhausted from its
overland journey. The passage, orthe
greater part Of it, W was p,la made BY Kane in
1885, BY Bessels poars and budduyton in in taep Pe
in his retreat from the Proteus, in 1888.
In the present case, however, the strength
of the party is too limited to overcome
the difficulties of the journey in the
event of the sea being either stormy or
ice-bound at the time of the return, and
under the circumstances the relief ex-
pedition seems desirable and eminently
proper"

sAM'L OF PosEN's TRIAL.
Curtis Not the Only Man Present When
Grant Was Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 16.-In the
Curtis case today, Mrs. DR.. Cook identi-
fed the revolver as one she had often
seen on the bureau at Curtis's home. w.
B. Harrington, an important witness for
the defence, testified that he saw from "a
window three men struggling on the side
walk. One man said, ''Let him go and
I'll take him home" Three shots were
soon fired and two men ran in opposite
directions. Mark Abbott, an hotel keeper,
gave similar testimony. The evidence of
these two witnesses is in line with the
claim of the defence that Policeman Grant
had taken both Curtis and another man
into custody and that it was the other
man or friend who killed the officer.
Curtis testified to that effect yesterday.

BALTIMORE, Md, February 16.-Harry
Randolph Daley, nine years of age, is
dead at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from
the effects of mosquito bite. He was
bitten last summer while in Talbot coun-

but there was no special Inconvenience
at the time. About week afterwards
the boy complained Of pain in his foot
This was followed by a swelling, which
extended up the leg. Soon the groin be-

brought him to the hospital, and the
surgeon in charge concluded That an OPP

the kind ever reported here.

LONDON, February 16.-The narrow
escape of the government from defeat
yesterday in the House of Commons on
Mr.. Thomas Sections proposed amend
ment to the address TO the crown, declar-
ing that the Imperial Parliament had
shown itself unequal to the task of leg
islating for Ireland, is the sensation of
the day.
The Liberals are wild with joy and the
Conservatives are almost dumb with dis
may. One hundred and seventy-nine to
159 were the figures which defeated Mr..
Sections amendment, but the Tories
were only whipped together with the
greatest of difficulty, and the air is now
full of rumors of approaching dissolu-
tion.
The Conservatives, it is admitted even
in their own ranks, are a badly demoral-
lied party, and they will go into the bat
tie of general election with almost GER
tain defeat starin them in the face.
On the other hand, the Liberals will
strip for the fight with an almost certain
victory assured them, and they are just
itching to be up and doing. Nothing
short of miracle or complications with
some foreign power can save the Tories
from an utterly crushing defeat. The
business and mercantile communities
are anxious for a dissolution. They
want the matter settled, one way OF the
other, as soon as possible.
The most steadfast of the government
supporters are trying desperately to bear
up under the effects of the popular up
heaval which is slowly but surely sweep
ing the Tories from power, but their raj
lying cries are almost unheeded, and the
slogans which some years ago called the
jubilant Tories to battle beneath Sails
bury's banner are now listened to with
sullen apathy.
