To some of us older people new mown hay brings back the days of the war-the four vivid, thrilling years when the land was full of marching men, of banners, drums and bugies-when every day had it's fierce excitements, it's exaltahons and it's depressions. To think how mothers and wives and sweethearts then watched t:ls papers in the sum mer-for the hardest battles were fought not when wintry rigors bound the earth, but when the birds sang, the lilies blooIned, the apples ripened apace, and on the far north ern uplands the farmers made hay.
 To one household, perched in a crag of tho mountains, there arrived a great triumph in one of those sum- mers. Their Harry had been made a brigadier-the boy had risen step by step from the ranks, SO brave, so manful was the stuff in him. Fla ther came in from the hay field with the letter that told of it in his hand.
 The very young do not understand this trick of association. They have yet to grow up to the knowledge that souls remain young, though bodies change and take on new i'm pressions with the years. They per eeive an old man, an old woman, and sometimes smile at the senti- ment which seems to them % finger untimely in these withered personal ities. Not sc Youth Is crude. Sen timent does not reach it's full flower till people have had time to live. So We moralize over the rich sweetness of the new mown hay.-HArper's Razar

Experiments with malleable cast iron by the admiralty of Sehastopol, Russia. have been successful. A trial bar. heated to red heat, was folded and refolded several times in succession. and at the end only one scarcely peroaptible crack showed. Another bar that was folded cold under hydraulic pressure broke after taking a persistent curve. A thirI bar, heated to cherry red, could be forged and heightened into strips. Its tensile strength was almost equal to that of ordinary Siemeus-Martin steel. New York Sun.

 Huckleherries are retailed by New York fruit dealers in small boxes and baskets, but the great blue huckle- berries of the Delaware swaxnps still come to town in Yankee buckets, as the ordinary hoped and painted wooden bucket for domestic use is generally called south of Mason and Dixon's line. The swamp huckle- berry bush grows to Q height of eight or ten feet, and the berries are gath cred by men, women and children. who enter the mosquito haunted swamps, spread sheets under the bushes and shake of the berries by the bushel. The Adirondack huckle- berry bush grows to a height of from eight to eighteen inches, and the Der ries are gathered not by hand. but by the cupful.
 A berry gatherer goes through the bushes, cupin one hand and a larger vessel of some sort hung to his side. As he walks he whips hiscup. mouth forward, about through the bushes. and quickly fills it with leaves and berries. As the leaves rise to the top they are taken of, when the cup fills and the berries are cast into the larger vessel. In this way camping parties gather many bushels of huck- leberries in a single day.-New York Eft1
