FARM AND HOME,

HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
Alone / walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his own;
Oh, friends ask net for ycnr pity
walk GiCne-
No more for me yon lake rejoices,
Though moved by loving airs of June,
Oh, birds, your sweet and piping voices
Are out of tune.
In vain for me The elm tree arches
Its plumes in many a feathery spray,
In vain the evenings starry marches,
And sunlit day.
In vain your beauty, summer flowers,
1c cannot greet these cordial eyes:
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.
The gold is rifed from the Golfer,
Tie blade is stolen from the sheath;
Life mas but one more boon 10 offer,
And that is death.
Yet well I know the voice of duty,
And therefore life and health must crave,
Though she who gave the world its beauty
Is in her grave.
/ live oh lost one for the living
Who drew their earliest breath from thee,
And wait until with glad Thanksgiving,
L shall be free.
For life 10 me is like station
Wherein, apart traveller stands
One absent long from home and station,
In foreign lands.
And | as he who stands and listens
Amid the twilight chill and gloom,
To hear approaching in the distance,
The train for home.
For death shall bring another mating,

Worry kills more people than the cho!-

This world is not large enough for the

It isn't always the best man who gets
the biggest grayestone.
Religion that ism t used every day won t

To have an honest critic is to have a
faithful friend.
The Unborn geniality of some people
amounts to genius.-Whipple.
No one can be truly polite without the
practice of sef-denial.
We must learn to infuse sublimity into
trifes; that is power.-Millet.
The man who speaks the truth in love,
will always speak words that weigh some
thing.
God has filled the world with things that
we can see, to tell US about things we can
not see.
Duty and place are inseparabIy conduct
ed. Ii is not enough to earnestly desire
to co right; we must be In the right place
to do it.
Find a man VINO is moving the world,
and you will find a man who believes
something. A man on the fence has no
moral weight.

Where one has but little room, as, for
instance, an acre or two in the suburbs,
the useful and the ornamental may be
often combined to good advantage. A
handsome grape arbor is not out Of place
upon the lawn, row of current bushes
may properly be used to edge pathway,
and dwarf pear tree is as much an ''or
namental' as many of the shrubs that are
used specially for that purpose.

The Garden.

In planting the garden bear in mind
that it is not best to SOW Immediately be-
fore nor after rain. Rain packs the soil
down more or less, and it then bakes in
the sun SO that the seed sovn on the same
is almost sure to suffer. Jt is best to sow
on freshly turned sod, one that is light,
loose and moist.

Seeds, Plants aau Trees.

The successful caltivator is generally a
good guide to follow in the matter of
selecting seeds, trees, etc., for planting
If. asked he will be very likely to advise
you that the planting of coed, pure seed,
Of an approved variety, is the first re
quisite to profitable crop production. And
yet, though the same advice is wildly re
iterated every spring, comparatively few
farmers and gardeners heed the truth
that in most instances the seed exerts a
controlling influence upon the quality and
quantity of the crop produced If any of
our readers are at fault in this matter, we
urge them to institute a gaIutary reform,
and to 'pIant only good seed"-the best
obtainahle.
Plants, vines, shrubs and trees, for set
ting out this spring, should now be Sc
cured by all who need them and have not
yet procured a supply. What we have
said about seeds, applies With almost
equal force in this connection. Consult
the females of the family in selecting
from the catalogues of honest dealers,
ornamental, schrubs, vines, etc., to be
planted near the dwelling. Look alike to
quality, variety, and adaptaoility to loca-
ton, but go slow when tempted to invest
in much pulled but high priced novelties.

God Takes Pains with Us.

God takes thousand times more pains

Blues and Money.

When we women get the blues, when we

we unhesitatingIy cry-money!-Woman

True Sorrow,

Sorrow for sin only because it exposes
to punishment is not true repentance. He
that sorrows after godIy sort, would not
sin, though escape from the consequences
were possible, for the heart is changed. he
is renewed in the spirit of his mind; he
loves God and his service, and has lost
relish fol- the pleasure of sin.

A PUZZLE.
The Latest Attraction in New York Ia the
Worlds Fair Puzzle.

TIE Worlds Fair puzzle is the latest
attraction of the business bouleyards of
New York. 1t is little round tin box
about an inch deep and Of the diameter of
a cent. One end is sealed, and the top is
closed from within by a hidden spring.
There is slot near the top, and cent is
inserted in the slot and pushed up to the
top by the spring 1t can't come out of
the top because OF the inner fange. but it
can be sprung up and down with the
thumb and finger. The trick is to get the
cent out, and having it out to get it back
again.
The man who named it the "world's
fair" puzzle had keen sense of humor,
for it looks easy enough to get the cash,
while it is really difficult, and there is
clever trick at the bottom of it. A loose
ball out of sight within must be rolled
around until it falls into particular de-
preston, when the top can be depressed
sufficiently to bring the cent On level
with the slot, whence il can be removed.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 30.-Colonbl
Craighill. at the head OF the govern
ment corps OF engineers, will reach San
Francisco tomorrow. in company with a
staff of assistants. The party will pro-
ceed at once to Los Angeles, and make
surveys for harbor on the coaet oppo-
site that city. The survey made by the
government commission some time ago
resulted in the recommendation that the
harbor OF San Pedro be improved, but
after the report OF the commission was
made, so many adverse criticisms were
made upon it, and the remonstrances ol
the Angelefios were so pronounced, that
another survey was deemed expedient
In speaking of the presence of Colonel
Craighill, William I'll. Mills remarked
that no recent work initiated by the
government was of greater interest than
that OF securing safe and accessible
harbor for Los Angeles.
1.-The whole state is interested in the
matter" said Mr.. Mills. every meas-
ure that tends to bring trade and peo-
pie to any part OF California should be
advocated by every citizen.
"The people living south of Tehachipe
are, of course, especially interested, be-
cause good harbor at Los Angeles
means great volume of business in an
importing way, and also the opening of
new markets for the products OF that
section of the state.
''It is probable that the present sur
vey will cover all the available shore
line about Santa Monica and San Pedro,
and it is to be hoped that it will result
in the speedy commencement Of the
construction of harbor."

NO CLEw IN SIGHT.

shrouded in MY stery.

The McWhirter Murder at Fresno stfu
Ehrouded in Mystery.
FRESNO, Cal, Aug. 30.--The mystery
surrounding the assassination of L. B.
McWhirter is still impenetrable. No
new developments have occurred. and
the people are beginning to feel some-
what anxious, fearing the assassins may
be able to make their escape. The
friends OF the deceased are determined
to spare no expense in hunting them
down, and the reward fund was today
augmented by $1,000. More contribu-
tlons will be made. The rewards will
probably aggregate $4,000. There is
good reason to believe that man with
guDshot wound in the hand was ar
rested Monday, and is now in jail They
deny in the sheriff's Office that such an
arrest has been made, and an inspec-
tion of the jail register bears them out
in this assertion. 1t is quite cer-,
tain, however, that they would not
acknowledge that the assassin had been
captured, were such the case, for fear
the attempt would bs made to lynch
him. Several persons who passed the
Jail Monday night say it was guarded.
The indignation of the people has not
subsided, and there is talk of organizing
a vigilance COMMITTEES to drive the
criminal element out OF town. The
number of theories have dwindled to
two, the first that McWhirter's death
was the result of political animoaities
he aroused the second that some pri-
vate enemy, known only to McWhirter
and perhaps al few others, killed him.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock from the family
residence. and is expected to be a large
one. The coroner's inquest will be held
tomorrow afternoon.

OFFICIAL IMPORTATION.
Not Much Cholera News Received

Not Much Cholera News Received at
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The official
information of cholera in Europe, re-
ceived at Washington today, was very
meager, and confined to one dispatch
from the consul at Bremen. He cabled
that there is no Asiatic cholera in the
city, and that every precaution is being
taken to prevent it. The treas
ury officials have received as
surances of the effectiveness OF
the national and state quarantine SER
vice, and they say the department has
done all it can do to prevent cholera
from gaining admission into the United
States. A Gordon of inspection and in-
lection is being rapidly established on
the seabord from Louisiana to Maine,
and along the Canadian and
Mexican frontiers. A circular on
the subject was issued by
Acting Secretary Spaulding this after
noon to collectors of customs and 9th
els. Collectors of customs on the Cana
dian and Mexican frontiers are instruct
ed to exercise special vigilance in the
examination Of immigrants and their eff
fects, and cooperate with the officers OF
the marine hospital service and local
health officers in such action as they
may deem advisable to prevent the in
PRODUCTION Of cholera into the United
States.
At the request of Collector Hopkins, of
Detroit, Surveyor-General Wyman has
appointed DIR. Mulhearn special in
spector at that place, to assist the local
authorities in examining immigrants
and baggage from Canada. If 1t
be found necessary, inspectors
will also be appointed at
Sault Ste. Marie, Port Huron, and other
lake ports, to assist in preventing the
introduction of cholera. The collectors
of customs at Ogdensburg, New York,
and Milford, Maine, have been re-
quested to nominate inspectors to
assist in the inspection and
disinfection of immigrants at those
points. Should it be necessary
at the many immigrant stations on the
north, medical inspectors will be sta
toned to assist the regular immigrant
inspectors. In case of the establishment
OF an absolute quarantine, the Gordon
can be drawn taut within an hour by
telegraph from the secretary, and the
United States will be shut out from the
world on the east.

ALARM IN LONDON.
Uneasiness Felt Over the Foothold Chol-

Uneasiness Felt Over the Foothold Chol-
era Has Gained
LONDON, Aug. 0.-Considerable un-
easiness is felt here because Of the
knowledge that cholera has certainly
obtained foothold, and in the worst
places in which it could appear, not
withstanding the quarantine.
People from Hamburg have been al
lowed to land, and the result is shown
by the fact that two new cases Of
cholera have appeared in the City road,
London. The victims arrived yesterday
on the steamship Peregrine from Ham
burg.
The first suspicious case Of the dis
ease was made public today. Ida Sam
yam, a 4-year-old girl, the daughter of
Russian Jews, who arrived here from
Hamburg on Saturday, was admitted
to the London hospital Sunday, suffer
ing with symptoms of Asiatic chol-
era. Inquiry was made at the
hospital today. which met with
the statement that she showed no inn
provement. Her parents have not been
affected by the disease.
Extensive measures have been taken
by the East End hospitals in the event
of an extensive outbreak of cholera in
London. Wards have been specially
set apart for the reception of cholera
patients, and the strictest rules have
been formulated to keep both the
| patients and their attendants
! isolated. The sanitary authorities
have in no wise relaxed their vigilance.
Every day lodging houses are subjected
to rigid inspection. and it may truth
fully be said that they were never IN
better sanitary condition. The in
spection will be kept up as long
as there is any danger Of cholera. As i
is well known fact that overripe fruit
is a dangerous source Of cholera
