THE SLEEP or DEATH.

Two hands upon the breast and lator is past
Russian Proverh
A mute despair, from thought Of dying throes.
Broods DER the heart at times; Q phrasclcss
fear
OF gr;ding pangs engloorns that rayless nero
tween life and breathless stiffness and repcso
For most. the fear Of dying. not Of death,
Enthralls. But calm as crestless seal, sun
smoothed
From storm that grooves the deep. 50 calm
and soothed.
So face-composed seem they OF vanished breath
The dead as res.ful lie as though sweet sleep
Had smoothed their pillows for dreanlless
night
And sealed their fallen eyelids softly tight
Then babe the yeiceless Silence vigil keep
Till new day reign. Nay. life that once Is hero
Lives on forever. There exists no law
or waste and void to veil the souls clear aWe
OF all that lies beyond the pail and bier.
Fer love denies that life hath end for those
Whose tired hearts have sunk with wearf
ness
To sleep-a rest as safe as In caress
OF parents arms is infants hushed repose
As nights thick darkness soothes to stt,lest
rest
The day laborer, till blush Of skies
Steals soft and slow upon his veiled eyes.
And wakes him to tho dawn refreshed and
best
SO hath the soul its raptur Is stu and deep.
Nor fears lfe's sunset verge. nor eartA's
goodnight
Though darkness falls without within there's
light
From Him who giveth His beloved sleep
When heaviest sohs the heart the soul doth
glow
All luminous with God Yon star-robed skies
On blacklist nights bend nearest human eyes,
And fairest shine when darkness rcigns below.
Tho ugh all at last with sovereign death muss
trace
His passage-ways which slope to neither
gloom,
Yet faith as Christ's, unbars their rayicss
tomb
And robes them with His resurrection face.
Then sweep your earth-worn hearts and mako
them clean
OF smileless memories Of shrola and knell;
For from the starry fame the vesper bell
But rings thee rest within it's aisles unsecn

How to Water Cows.

According to foreign experiment.,
some Dutch cows kept with water al
ways in their stable gave much bet
ter results than when changed back
wnere they could get water only
twice day. 1t was found that the
milk yield increased where the cows
had access to water at will, and no
decrease OF fats occurred. The daily
increase was small, but as estimated
it would improve the yield about
forty gallons per COW per year. A
noticeable feature of the experiment
is that the cows drank a little less
when permitted to drink at will than
when furnished water twice a day.
According to this the COW can
water herself better than the
best care can supply her with what
she needs BY drinking often there
was less chilling OF the stomach than
where water had to be taken twice q
day. and each time in large quanti-
ties. The digestion was improved,
as with each small draught OF water
some gastric juice was secreted and
went with it. which was not the case
to the same extent where large
draughts Of cold water had to be
taken

kind of tails to tell the snorting youth
who yearns for fame on the highway

WITH drizZly autumn weather, the
umbrella nuisance again becomes
public question of great moment
What can be done to abate the man
who carries closed umbrella under
his arm with the ferule sticking up
in the rear at an angle of A degrees,
endangering the eyes Of people behind
him? How may the woman who,
with an open umbrella held in front
Of her face, charges along crowded
sidewalk, be brought to realize her
iniquity? These are questions which
rerur every fall, and they, together
with the establishment Of a suitable
penalty for chronic umbrella borrow
ers, demand the immediate and
prayerful consideration of the public.

Value of Dried Fruits.

Housekeepers do not value dried
fruits highly enough, partly because
they are in the habit of canning all
fruits and berries and partly because
they do not cook dried fruits properly.
They will soak dried apples or prunes
and throw the water away, then cook
them in tin dish and stir into
mush with an iron spoon. The right
way is to soak the dried fruit, then
slip it carefully into granite. earthen
or porcelain lined sauce pan, and cook
without stirring until done, thus
keeping the fruit in shape. Some
times it is q good way to drain the
water of, add sugar to make syrup
and when it boils up turn in the
soaked fruit and cook until tender;
in this way it will be as good as
canned fruit. Experiment more in
drying this season. and see il the re.
suits are not more satisfactory than
to put everything in glass One Of
my experiments was half drying small
pears halved and cOred, then pack.
ing them in layers OF brown sugar.
They were equal to any foreign sweet
meat, and l knew they we're prepared
clearly, which cannot always be said
of the imported fruit.--Grange

Does it Pay to Enrich Land.

In Iowa, about the year 1868, says
correspondent, MANFRED four
acres of old meadow that had com.
monty brought a medium crop OF
grass. Manure was from sheep Yards,
hauled and spread in fall At har-
vest the grass stood tall and thick. !
sold two acres standing at SO pei

acre each year for two years, then
put two acres in potatoes and fodder
corn. Potatoes blighted that year
crop worth S26 per acre. In the fall
l sowed all to rye. The crop brought
S22 per acre; the straw paid fol
threshing. No manuring after the
first year. kept no account that
could be relied ON to tell the cleaI
profits of the five crops, but calling
the land worth $50 per acre when
MANFRED, feel safe in saying that
after deducting taxes and other ex-
penses the clear gain per annum on
price Of land per acre would be over
II per cent. But if it be not IL per
cent the same land or any otherfgood
farming land within three miles of
Iowa City can be so cultivated that
it will clear more.

Limit of Profit In Pig-FeeSiing.

To ascertain the best and cheapest
way of using skim milk for the pro-
duction of pork has been part OF
the work Of the Vermont Experiment
Station the last year. Sour skim.
milk produces as good results pound
for pound as sweet Skim-milk Hence
farmers are not losing money every
time tie milk sours on the way home
from tae creamery, and creamery
men need not go to any expense or
trouble so to handle the skim milk as
to sterilze it and keep it sweet Two
ounces of corn-meal to each quart of
skim milk made pound Of pork at
the least cost Of food. A larger
amount of corn-meal made more
rapid growth, but at an increased
cost of food for each pound of pork
above the market value. During
heavy feeding in preparation for
market, twelve quarts OF skim-milk
daily to each pig, with all the corn.
meal they would eat, produced more
rapid growth and at less cost per
pound than six quarts of milk under
similar conditions.

WHEN the rivalry between the

out. He nearly choked with indig.

he grabbed patent medicine cut.
"You'll find this the worst fatiguing

Dangers of Polluted Water.

In speaking of the origin oftyphOid
fever, DR.. Hubert Work of Pueblo,
Col, says in the Medical Record: "A
Colorado farmer excayated pit in
which he wintered his potatoes
about 200 sacks of which remained
as refuse the following summer,
exposed to the sun and rain until
the latter part Of July, when the ir
rigating canal overflowed, ran through
the corral and flooded the potato
cellar. A dead cow was then turned
in and the pit filed with dry earth.
On August % the housewife COM
planned Of heing ill, took to her bed
September 2, and subsequently de-
veloped typhoid fever of so grave a
type that her life was despaired of.
September 4, Fred, aged IA, was
similarly attacked. and very soon
gave evidence of being almost over
come by enteric fever. September
hired man took tC his bed with the
same disease. Use of the we'll which
was located thirty feet from the po-
tato-pit, was forbidden immediately
after the nature Of the first illness
was determined, September or ,,
and no new cases developed until
September %; but within the seven
days subsequent thereto the daugh-
ter, aged Is, hired man No. 2, two
boys, aged and 8 respectively, and
two young men from neighboring
ranches frequent callers upon the
sick-were put to led with typhoid
fever, three OF them on the same
day; and twenty days later the re-
naming farmland fell i'll with the
same disease-none OF these, however,
being so Frustrated from the begin
ming of their illness as were the two
first attacked. But two of the twelve
persons known to have drunk water
from this we'll escaped the fever-the
farmer and the wife of hired man,
both OF whom had suffered we'll
marked attacks of the disease some
years previous. Inquiry elected the
confession that water from the
quarantined we'll had been used since
September IS, they believing that it
had been purified by constant use for
watering stOck-sOme twenty head Of
horses and cattle-for more than two
weeks. AS may readily be supposed,
there was little assistance proffered
by the neighbors to this family, Tut
OF those who did assist in their care
none drank from the well and none
contracted the fever"

BERNHARDT is trying to beat

BERNHARDT is trying to beat the
record of Kate ClaXton. Kate was
in fire, while Bernhardt has been
under fire. The fire dodge is not so
hackneyed and tiresome as the dodge
OF having diamonds stolen. An
other pleasing novelty in connection
with the Bernhardt advertisement is
that Sara does not try, for the sake
of effect, to exaggerate the danger
through which she has passed In
deed, she makes light of it in an cpl
gram which is worthy Of longevity.
She says, "The bullets of the Peace
League could not have been more
harmless" Whether or not this
statement of the divine Sara speaks
well for the humanity of the be-
leaguerers Of Rio, however will re-
main question. when her lack of
embonpoint is recalled She is thin
ner than Henry Clay. who was so
thin that when he had engaged to
fight duel with John Randolph,
that sarcastic Nirginian said he
would split bullet on him. Sara
can go out in a Paris rainstOrm with
out an umbrella, for it is no trick at
all to her to escape getting wet by
lodging between the drops; and a
shower OF leaden rain and iron hail
at Rio that might have seemed harm
less to Sara from the standpoint of
her own personal safety, might have
been deadly indeed to the people Of
normal proportions who inhabit the
bombarded capital

The story Of the attempted escape
from Jail and the failure which fol-
lowed the attempt, of ''Kid" Wilson
and Henry Starr should be read by
parents to their sons who have ten
denotes toward highway robbery.
Both of these once bold robbers, see
ing the shadow OF the gallows across
their cell-doors, begged to be shot
rather than to be hanged. The
bravado is gone from the hero of
blood thirsty romance; the flash of
the shotgun and the crack of the
pistol which punctuated their DASH
ing careers are silent now. They are
plain criminals. and when the var
nish is scraped off they are cringing,
blubbering cowarda This is the

How Fish Are COlOred.

In England they have lately been
experimenting with founders in order
to determine whether the whiteness
of the under sides of those fish is due
to the exclusion of light and the
presence of color on their upper sides
to exposure to light.
They have kept the fish living in a
glass tank having mirror placed be-
meath, so as to reflect the light on the
under sides of the fish.
One OF these prisoners has survived
for three years under conditions so
strangely different from its ordinary
habits of life, and all of them have
exhibited the development of spots
OF pigment on their lower surfaces
The experimenters have concluded
that it is exposure to the light that
causes the colOration of the upper
parts of the bodies not only. OF f1oun-
ders hut of other fish, and conversely,
that it is to the comparative absence
of light that the whiteness of the
under sides is due. They extend the
same principle to explain the color
less condition of the skins of many
animals that pass all their lives in
caves.
