4 friend has lately told me the fol-
lowing story: In the Western part OF
Massachusetts a man had a fine stock
farm that is, a farm for raising COWS
and horses. But a few weeks ago a fire
broke out in the barn, and burned not
only the building and the hay, but
most of the animals also. After the
fire. the owner walked over the ruins.
1t was a sad sight to see the charred
bodies Of his fine jersey COWS and his
high-spirited horses, to say nothing Of
the money lost with them. But ut the
end Of tie barn he saw sight that
touched him moro than all the rest.
There sat black hen. He wondered
that she did not move her head to look
at him as he came near her, but he
thought she must be asleep. He poked
her with his cane, and to his surprise
the wing which he touched fell into
ashes. Then he knew that she had
been burned to death. But out from
under her came a faint little peep, and
pushing her aside with his cane, the
man found-what do YOU think ten
little live yellow chickens The poor
hen had sacrificed her own life to save
them, and had held her place in the
fire az Casabianca held his on the
burning deck That sight touched
the man more than anything else, and
he has to own that his eyes grew lit
tie more moist than usual.

Carlyle's Vacant House.

Mr.. Arthur Waugh describes a visit to
the now vacant house of Carlyle in Chelsea,
in his letter to The Critic. There were two
rooms on the ground floor, opening out OF
one another-a double dining room, the
front looking on the blank wall opposite,
the back giving glimpse of dark, DESC
late looking little garden. The staircase,
though in very poor repair, has a fine oak
balustrade, and above are the bedrooms, of
which the servant had distinctly the better
choice. But above that again was the
room we had really come to see. 1T was
here as Mr. Carlyle wrote them books OF
his" said the woman.
A large lofty garret, well lit by sky
light; on either side the fireplace, book
shelves and cupboards let into the wall, the
whole painted a uniform terra Gotta. On
the doors of the bookshelves are pencil
sketches, by whose hand drawn wonder-a
Rosettilike woman, with bare breasts and
long, flowing hair, and roughly drawn
outline of mans head. And over all the
silence of death and the shadow of decay.
We passed into the garden, and here the
sense of desolation was the keenest. The
path was weedy and ill defined, the wall OF
the house behind looked broken and inhos-
pitable. By the stump of a tree there is
plain staff of stone, marking the grave Of
Mrs. Carlyle's pet dog. A worm eaten wa
ter tub and ruined shrub or two COM
plete the scenery.

An Adamless Eden.

The romances of the opening Of the Cher
okee strip will survive after the memory
of it's hardships and perils. The story of
one enterprising woman is already afoat.
She managed by private agreement with
30 women-maids, spinsters, widows-to
secure the right to one square mile. These
Amazons had their steeds ready, and when
the signal gun sounded each was off pell-
nell to the square mile, whose goodly out
side had previously claimed the notice of
the fair organizer. They reached the goal
and defied all the men in creation to jump
their claim. This square mile they have
christened the "Lady's Home" and it is
held in common on the condition that no
man be allowed to set foot on any part.
There is probably good deal of amiable
pleasantly in the account of the Lady's
Home and its guards and safeguards, but
it is agreed that since machinery so largely
does the work of western farms there Is no
reason why women may not farm to advan-
tage. In many of the northwestern states
women have taken up quarter sections and
farmed them alone. In Minnesota there
are numbers of instances of women as sue
cessful farmers. To eastern women the isola-
tion and deprivation OF those things in life
that are as much as meat and drink and more
than cattle and lands are more serious
objection than fears of manual labor or of
inability to hold the plow or WELD the
scythe. But whether in the Cherokee strip
or Westchester, the disposition of women
to become land owners is significant sign
of the times.-New York Evening Sun.
