roamed their lands with considerable
detriment to their live stock. Ia the
course Of their quest one of the farmers,
observing brown animal CT consider

The senator says he has natural bent
for building and thinks he would prob
ably have been an architect or builder If
he had not gone into public life. He
certainly shows excellent Judgment in
his purchases of real estate, and his new
house will be an example of his good taste
and appreciation of comfort and con-
venience. 1t has frontage of about so
feet ON X street and is 100 feet in depth.
1t is rapidly approaching completion,
and the senator expects to occupy it next
fall.
The chief Characteristic of the interior
of the house is roominess. There is a
very wide and imposing entrance hall.
and on the right of this is the library, a
room 25 feet long, with large freproof
vault built in the rear end of it for the
safe keeping of the senator's papers and
other valuables. On the left of the hall
are the parlors, and back of them is the
dining room, all very large rooms and
admirably adapted to the purposes for
which they are designed. The parlors
are beautifully finished in white satin
wood and will be handsomely frescoed.
The dining room has ceiling of paneled
oak. The choicest hard woods have been
used throughout the house, most of it
having been brought from Ohio, where
much of the work ON it was done.
The chambers are large and airy, and
many of them are finished in birdseye
maple, an exceptionally pretty wood for
the purpose. Senator Sherman owned a
planning mill once and knows all about
the different kinds Of wood, and his
knowledge and good taste have been ad-
mirably displayed in his selections. There
are about 30 rooms in the new house, in
cluding half dozen bathrooms, finished
with tiles and furnished with the best
and latest conveniences.

Josiah Quincy. Assistant Secretary ofstate.
Ex-Governor Gray. Minister to Mexico.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell.
The appointment of Josiah Quincy of
Massachusetts as assistant secretary of
state at Washington rouses anew the in
teret in this remarkable and truly his
toric American family-the only Amer
lean family, it is believed, which has
maintained an unbroken succession of
wealth and talent for ESQ years. He is
the sixth Josiah Quincy of eminence.
The first was that Josiah Quincy, who in
1730-50 was so active and efficient as
Massachusetts, commissioner in dealings
with England, and he was the great
grandson of the scarcely less famous Ed
mund Quincy, founder of the family,
who landed in Massachusetts, in 1888
OF the first Josiah the third son, Jo-
siah, was the famous Quincy of the
struggle which brought on the revolu-
ton, but he died just a week after the
battle of Lexington. His son Josiah
was the senator from Massachusetts

Old ocean kissed the glade
And here the Laughing ripples ran.
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss 20 every man
That voyagcd with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped In the breathless breeze.

While here the eddies lisped and pur!e1
Around the islands rim.
And mp from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And Il was dawn and middle day
And midnight--for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies OF June
And here the glowing. glorious king
OF day ruled DER his realm.
With stars OF midnight glittering
About his diadein.
The sea gull rceled on languid wing
In circles round the mast.
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As We went sailing past.
And MP and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy thrones
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes OF their songs.

And here the laughing ripples ran.

sHERMAN's MARBLE PALACE.

The Ohio senator Expects to Occupy His
New Washington Residence Next Fall
A great many of the senators and rep
resentatives buy or build houses for
themselves in Washington, and some Of
the handsomest residences in the capital
are the property of congressional own
ers. 1t is not at all bad thing to do,
even considering the necessary uncer-
tainty of official tenure, for real estate
investments in Washington are gener-
ally good things. Senator Sherman has
proved the truth of this, for when, 30
years or more ago, he bought the prop
erty ON Franklin square where he is
now building his new marble palace it
was on the extreme edge of the residen-
tial quarter, and since then the town has
grown up around it and two miles or
more beyond it to the manifest enrich
ment of the Sherman exchequer.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

THE neglect given the chicks now
cannot be overcome with good care by
and by.
HEALTH, comfort, neatncss are the
things to be sought when building a
poultry house.
LITTLE chicks enjoy fresh water to
drink. Give them some. even though
you provide milk for them.
IF your fowls have the range of the
farm and have access to fresh water
they will need but little care.
If you mean to sell spring chickens
sell them in the spring, not in the fau
for eight or ten cents a pound and lose
money ON them.
IF you arc raising chicks for the eggs
they will lay don't keep the cocl<refs
till fall: sell them soon as large
enough, for broilers.
If there is any place where ginger
bread and fancy work is expensive it
is about a hen-housc. Square corners
and straight, plain walls give less hon.
ing for vermin and less work in keep
ing clean than does ''artistic'' display.
The houses may be neat without and
clean within if they lack some of the
architectural embcllishm cnts of n villa.

Not as Delicate as Other Kinds, But
Richer by Far.
Many people do not like buclkwE sat

delicate in flavor as some other kinds,
but nothing surpasses it in richness. 1t
probably will not wear SO we'll as
clover honey, but, until the appetite be-
gins to cloy, it is very satisfying. But
there is one use for it that all bee
keepers ought to agree is a valuable
one. The plant flowers late and yields
an abundance of nectar, from which the
bee can gather a heavy crop. The
white and better selling grades of honey
may be marketed, but this rich dark
honey can be left to winter the bees
upon. They must have something to
eat, and if you do not like buckwheat
honey, they do.
Bucl<whcat is not extensively grown
by farmers and the bcel<eepcr should

He could afford to pay one or two dol

grow almost any land. but like
most other crops it grows best on good
land. Its dense and rapid growth
makes it Il good weed-killer and the
grain from it finds ready market at
good prices. The farmer cares for
these matters, but the beekceper is in
terested especially in the white
blossoms that load the air with fra

homey-malSing material from the soil
and atmosphere. 1t is perfectly lcgiti-
mate for him to call the attention of
farmers to the benefits to be derived
from the cultivation of the grain. but
he should be cautious not to ovcrrcach

grain will be to the common advantage

VALUE OF BARLEY.
Far Superior to Oats Chopper, Grain
and Straw.

Far Superior to Oats rs Chopper, Grain
and Straw.
The government census in 1850 re-
ports for my county an average yield
of % bushels per acre of barley and 80
of oats. AS the legal bushel of the
former is 40 pounds, and of the latter
33 pounds, barley produced 34s pounds
more grain per acre than oats Recent
ly, the Tribune says, barley brought 65
cents a bushel and oats 40 cents, and
this is about the average difference. An
acre of barley at this price comes to
$500; an acre of oats, &12.SO. a differ
ence of s.. 40 in favor of barley. When
corn fails or is short, as is often tho
case, privilege of access to a bin of bar
ley is more to be priced as a fat-pro-
Queer than a supply of any other grain
except corn: according to analysis bar
ley is the best-balanced ration Tor fat
tening Of any grain. Barley is a quick
growing, sure crop: corn is not. Bar
ley is not injured by insects and
rust as are other cereals, nor
does smut affect it to the same de-
gree; it seems to he an ironclad plant.
Its low growth makes it the best spring
grain with which to seed to grass or
clover. The crop ripens SO carly that
plenty of time is given to pillow for
wheat seeding and permit the soil to
settle to make the desired firm seedbed;
it is observed that wheat almost invari-
ably does better after barley than after
oats. The straw of barley is finer,
softer and more valuable for feeding
than other straw. The soil for barley
needs to be in fine filth; but this is
requisite for best success with all crops.
The ground should be rolled after SOW
ing, so that at harvest the rake can bet
ter gather the short stalks. Scientists
claim for barley that, being SO we'll

ments are appropriated and assimilated
by animals than those of any other
grain. Oats has been the staple spring.

country was cleared, and much of the
soil is about coated OUT In such cases,
and where barley will flourish, it should
not require long to decide for a change.

himself in any degree responsible for
the bad use sometimes made Of it.-Dr.

SoapSuSlS and Lice.

There are times when soapsuds arc
plentiful, especially on wash-days, and
it will do no harm in the summer to
drcnch the poultry-housc, and as lice
should be fought from the ginning of
mild weather, no better use can be made
of the suds than to use them for Destroy
ing lice. If you have sprayer, SO much
the better, but if not. you may use a
watering pot with u rose nozzle. The
soal,suds will be all the better if you
have them very strong. 1t is good
plan to dissolve pound of concentrated
I've in a tub of suds. Apply the suds hot
if you can. but apply them, at all events,
hot or cold. DO not miss a single square
inch Of surface. Do it on dry, warm
day. Saturate the floor, walls, roosts
and even the roof, and have it get into
every crack and crevice. Remove the
nest boxes. saturate the boxes, let them
dry and add new material. When the
house is dry, sprinkle every portion with
fine. air-slal<ed lime. Ifyou will follow
these directions the lice will be easily
kept in check.-Farm and Preside.
