From in Verse Proportion, " by Laura Bill
When friends depart from distant lands
We watch them as they leave the shore,
And gayly wave and kiss our hands,
And 'Au revoir. we call once more.

We're not then apt in tears to melt
But, hands clasped cry, 'Auf weidershenl'

Has caused two hearts to beat quite high,

A Thoughtful Widow.

On a recent Saturday evening, according to
the Boston Herald, two women met in Bos-
ton market, and, after exchanging the usual
friendly greetings, commenced to console
each other for the deaths of their respective
husbands.
One of the women was greatly affected as
she related the virtues of her departed spouse
Bursting into tears. she exclaimed:
"Oh, but my Felix was good mani
The other replied My husband was good
to me. and my loss was as great as yours
Il know all that returned the first, but
my Felix had false teeth
well. what has that to do with it,"
Il have his teeth at home, and don't know
what to do with them
Why don't you have them buried with
him.?
The sorrowing widow, again bursting into
tears, cried: 4 would, but was afraid they
would choke him

The Dresden, Tenn, lynching the other
day was a rather unusual thing in crime.
Usually lynchings are perpetrated by the
race to which belongs the victim of the
crime calling forth the summary punish
ment. But in the Dresden lynching,
white men took it upon themselves to
avenge the murder of black man by
black man. Race prejudice can hardly be
charged in this instance. Nevertheless,
lack of prejudice does not mitigate the
offense of the lynchers.

The populists of Virginia have had an
eye upon Col. J. r. c. Lewis, who is said
to be the nearest relative to George Wash
inston now living in Virginia, as their
probable candidate for governor They
depended in great measure upon his
connection with the family of the Father
of his Country to make him popular But
it transpires that Colonel Lewis will not
stand for the position. He is in poor
health, and his friends fear the exertion
and excitement of campaign would
prove too much for him, if he should CON
sent to the arrangement. The Populist
party, by the way, affects to despise any
such thing as the influence of social posi-
tion, yet in this instance it was the party's
purpose to trade upon the Washington
family's historical prominence.

Which an entertaining article appears
: Elsewhere in the MORNING NEWS this

interest. The best aud fastest riders in
America, which is equivalent to saying

phenomenal riding will be done. Neither

circles as a rider worthy the closest at
tention of Zimmerman, Windle and John

representative as well as Charleston's,
therefore Savannah, with the rest of the
south, will watch his performances
against the famous riders with especial
interest. Young Baird, it will be remem-

doned. A New York association then
offered a 600 for the privilege of buryiug
him for three months in the center of an
amphitheater erected somewhere within
easy reach of the city. The idea was to
make a'dollar show of the burying and
dime show of the grave. But the offer
was declined, probably for the
reason that if the experiment should be
attempted for money there would be no
opportunity ofr'faking'' the people who
paid their money to see him buried would
insist on seeing il done properly and in
such manner that there could be no trick

fowls are also in demand. There is

WE do not advise heating water (by
the SUM for fowls in summer. 1t will
be warm enough if pumped from the
well every day and the water vessel set

The chick that is strong, growthy,
hardy and active from the shell onward,
is the one to keep for breeding. Keep
an eye on the broods and mark the best
youngsters early.
COLD weather seals up foul odors,
warm weather sets them free Hence

them now by a free use of earth in the

JUNE-HATCHED chicks come upon the

Farming a Business.

Farming is a business, and the man
who would make a real success of it
nowadays must be a good business
man. He must be an all-round good
business manager. Besides buying and
selling and the employment of labor
there are the planting, cultivating and
harvesting of crops, the breeding, feed
ing and care of live stock, the use of
machinery and hundred other impor-
tant things which require intelligence,
skill and executive ability of high
order. There are thousand little de-
tails of the business to be carefully
looked after to make the farm do it's
best. Taking everything into consider
alton, the wonder is that there are not
more failures on the farm than there
are. No business in the city would
long stand under the easy-going man.

ThelUnited States Weather Charts of the
Ocean.
On,every chart is printed information
regarding the storm signals of the
United States coast, and directions to
be followed in the event of being
caught in hurricanes.
So much information is generally at
hand which is sure to be useful to the
mariners. that very often a supplement
is published to accompany the chart
proper.
Every month $500 of these charts are
printed and sent out to the branch
offices and toindividuals. These branch
offices are at Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah,
New Orleans, San Francisco and Port
land, Ore. Each is supplied with an
outfit OF charts, books of sailing direc-
tions, etc, and to them the masters of
vessels are invited to bring instruments
for corrections: here they may seek in
formation, which is gladly furnished
them without charge, and here they
obtain free copies of the pilot charts
To the Wednesday and Saturday
steamers leaving New York and Bos-
ton especial attention is given. The
pilot charts are sent to them by special
delivery, when necessary, and their
messengers wait at the branch offices
until the last possible moment so that
they may obtain the latest news before
they sail.

The SIZE OE TREES.
In Certain Conditions Mere Bulk Cuts No
Figure.


For the planter who looks after his
trees and cultivates them carefully
small tree will bear just as early and
prove as valuable as the largest. But
if the trees are to be planted in sod
land, without cultivation or attention,
big trees will stand the best chance of
living. The standardized tree as dug
in most nurseries is three-quarter inch
caliber diameter three inches above the
place where the bud was inserted. The
next smaller grade, which is called the
medium-sized tree, is five-eighth inch di'
ameter. This medium-sized tree is as val
liable as the next larger size and is
usually sold for less; this medium-sized
tree also occupies less space in packing,
costs less for transportation and is apt
to have more fbrous roots, and, in the
opinion of the writer, is in every way
equal to the larger size. 1t should be
distinctly understood, however, that in
ordering this medium-sized tree it is
understood that it is not to be second
class in any respect. There is vast
difference between the medium-sized
first-class tree and the second-class
tree. Always specify that you wan.
choice stock, without any culls, no mat
ter what the size specified.
There is smaller grade of trees,
which are about one-half inch caliber,
which are valuable trees for planting il
thrifty and vigorous. This small size
can often be purchased as cheap as, if
not cheaper than, one year-old trees,
and are fully as desirable, if not more
so. One-vear-old trees are usually sold
only for mailing purposes, for the rea-
son that nurserymen do not like to
break into their young blocks to dig a
few dozen or few hnndred or certain
variety, as it makes their blocks look
ragged. Further than this, since the
one-year block is never entirely dug or
sold, the nurseryman is at no great ex-
pense to cultivate the entire block I'M
til the trees have reached the full size,
therefore one-year-old trees are usually
higher priced as compared with other
sizes, and many nurserymen will not
sell one-year-old trees at all. Peach
trees are an exception to this rule, as
the peach is never sold earlier than one
year from bud.-Greens Fruit Grower.

Worlds Fair Corn Kitchen.

The corn kitchen at the worlds fair
is said to be attracting considerable at
tention, and if the manipulation of the
meal is in the hands of an expert
this should be the means of disseminate
ing much useful knowledge as to the
many palatable ways in which this val
liable product can be utilized as human
food. Our own people need educating
upon the subject as well as foreigners.
Many of us think Ne know all about
cornmeal and Johnny cake" when as
matter of fact there is much still to
be learned in relation TO the best
methods to be pursued to attain the
most satisfactory results. Some of our
big milling interests ought to take the
matter up for exhaustive experiments

Coaxing Swarms to Remain.

Twenty years ago New York bee
keepers coaXed absconding swarms to
remain by this method, according to the
American Bee Journal: We would take
broom handles and wrap rags on the
large end, making roll about ten
inches in length, and about three inches
through the center, tapering off small
err at the ends The rags we would
saturate with melted beeswax. The
other end of the handle is sharpened so
as to stick in the ground. We used one
handle for every four hives. Nearly
every swarm that issues will cluster on
some of these prepared sticks. The
sticks should be stuck in the ground
about four rods in front of the hives
The scent OF the wax probably has a
good deal to do with the bees clustering

1t was sleepy little Massachusetts,

through it. and for the accommodation
of a few summer patrons of the line a
station had been built. The Pooh Bah

operator, station agent and yard mas

with the company, one Pooh Bah had
been discharged and sent on his way
with a troubled conscience, and a new
operator had been engaged to fill his
place. The new man, while he was a
thorough operator and understood rail-
road matters well enough to take the
position, was totally unacquainted
with the locality in which he now
found himself. The tracks from the
station stretched away through lot

mile and then disappeared in the CEN

flow away quickly without tearing the
soil During summer mowers, reapers
and loads of hay can easily cross the
ditch without inconvenience. An open
ditch that has abrupt sides is not only
expensive to dig but expensive to keep
clear, as a frost throws down the
walls. Wide bitches carry away water
faster than deep gullies, and always
without cutting away the soil. This is
just as true on rapid descent as on
