ANTICIPATION.

cns time We stood upon the waters edss
That flowed far out into its parent sea,
And there while summer blushed ON nsid
and hedge
We vowed TO love throughout eternity.
And thou. fond heart, hast kept that vow
full we'll
Through every change that protean fortune
brought,
Eut am sunken In the waves that swell
Der scylla's hidden rocks-snd am forgot.
What stern mischancs hath snapped the
golden thread
That bound thy heart In unison with mins'
Unless her soul be Niobe's instead,
Whose tears may iow - feelingly - thins'
From whom may pardon come II not from
theef
And yet dare not ask % great boon.
Whose life Is wrecked Ike thinei And who
IL she
Hath warranty to sing 30 sad tunei
Yet cease those mournful sighs, - deep psr-
chance
As ever Dido for .Eneas heaved;
The future lies beyond; the recompense
OF time Is most Tor her who most hath
grieved.
One hope have that absence cannot take,
One longing that the world can never steak
When life Is done, In other spheres to WAKE
And at thy feet worshiper TO kneel.

n Ma soup or Nothing.

Since an unpleasant experience at .
hotel In little town up In Iowa short
time ago have made It rule to always
take soup. At this hotel ] answered In
the negative when asked by the fair
waitress II would "have soup" There
was no one else In the room at the time,
but pretty soon another gentleman came
In and sat down. He was asked the
usual question, and he responded In the
affirmative and got his soup. The girl
then left tho dining room and did not
return. I Thought IL strange she did not
take my order for dinner, but my walt
was all In vain, and after I had been
waiting for 20 minutes or half an hour
she stuck her head out through two cup
board doors opening from the kitchen
and cried out, "Dinner is over" went
without my dinner while the other man
got his soup. From what l learned OF
this hotel sfterward this was the regu.
lar menu for each day at dinner. and I
further learned that the proprietor was
vegetarian.-Cor. st. Louis Globe

HALLOwELL-we keep but two cows
and make what butter We need In our
family and have what milk We wish to
use, selling a little st times; and with
this we are quite satisfied. We keep
high grade Jersey cows. Water twice a
day at n spring q short distance from
the barn where there Is good trough
and the purest OF running water. Our
cows are tied to common stanehion
with chain. We feed In winter all the
nice early cut hay they viii eat and also
a small grain ration Of bran and meal.
The grain ration IL not dropped till Into
June and generally both hay and grain,
OF some other supplemental food is
given early In the fall months, when
pasturage begins to fail. Keeping only
two cows now, I take no note or cost as
we formerly did when In the dairy busi-
ness. We use straw freely for bedding
Our main road Il kept Ia repair by

Mosquitoes, and feas can be de-
stroyed or driven from the house by

Segraye, at Baltimore, as follows;

of the high Tariff was the claim of
its supporters that the import duties
would be paid,n not by the consumer,
but by the producer. A years ex-
perience has somewhat modified that
assertion ard it isnowmore generally
allowed that any duty on nOn-compet-
ING products is paid directly by the
consumer, but, in the case of compe-
ting articles, the incidence ofthe tax,
whether on consumer or producer,
would entirely depend on the cspac-
itv or strength of the home market
to compete with the foreign market
The Consul uneonsciously furn-
ishes strong argument against a
Tariff for revenue only, the idea Of
which is to levy duties on "non-com-
peting products, paid directly by the
consumer is, by the people
who buy.
Who pays the duty on competing
products depends. he says, on our
trength to compete. The more we
