THE DU Ell.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
oh many duel the world has seen
That was bitter with hate, that was red with gore
But sing Of duel by far more cruel
Than ever by poet was sung before
1t was waged by night yea by day and by night,
With never pause or halt or rest,
And the curious spot where this battle was fought
Was the throbbing heart in a woman's breast.
There met two rivals in deadly strife,
And they fought for this woman pale and proud.
One was man in the prime of life,
And ons was corpse in a moldy shroud;
One wrapped in sheet from his head to his feet,
The other one cl1t he'd in worldly fashion:
But rival to dread is a man who is dead,
If he has been loved in life with passion.
The living lover he battled with sghs,
He strove for the woman with words that burned.
While stiff and stark lay the corpse in the dark.
And silently yearned and yearned and yearned
One sp, Ike of tine rapture that life still held
For hearts that yielded to loves desire,
And one through the cod graves earthly mold
Sent thoughts of past that were fraught with
fire.
The Living lover seized hold of her hands
tYou are mine" he cried, land we will NOT part!
But she felt the cl .ch OF the dead mans touch
On the tense drawing strings of her aching heart
Yet the touch was of ice and she shrank with fear
Oh! the hands of the dead are cold, so cold
And warm were the arms that waited near
TO gather her close in their clinginR fold
And warm was the light in the living eyes,
But the eyes of the dead how they stare and stare!
With sudden surrender she turned to the tender.
And passionate lover who woed her there
Farewell to sorrow, hail sweet to morrow!
The battle was over, the duel was done.
Then swOoned in the blisses OF loves fond kisses,
And the dead man stared on in the dark alone

loss OF time in turning at ends with
plows and machines. In the ideal
farm division, fences will be almost
entirely dispensed. with, facilitating
cultivation, saving for tillage the
land occupied by fences, also saving
the great expense OF building and re-
pairing fences. The time has hardly
arrived in this country for the gem
eral adoption Of tn practice of soil

necessary % economic in the use Of
land, when population shall begin to
crowd upon the means OF ubs;stcnce,

cease.
So long as pasturing is continued
every pasture should be provided
with an abundance OF pure, sweet
living water. A llowing stream Is
generally considered very desirable

On the Farm side.

For many years past the statements
have been industriously circulated
that a very large majority OF the
farms in the United States were
mortgaged for more than they were
worth. The deduction from this
statement is that agriculture In this
country was not a prosperous busi-
ness. The impression was strength
ened by another that throughout the
Northwest the loauing Of money at
high rates Of interest On farm mort
cages had been well. nigh universal,
and that the borrowers we're not pay
ing up, Tut were suffering foreclOs-
ures. There was a grain Of truth In
all this, but it was not the whole
truth nor the best part OF it.
Two agricultural papers, the Amer
lean tarmef and the American Agri.
culturist, have recently made "A
searching inquiry into the truth OF
these statements. 1t points out that
three-fourths OF all the farms in the
United States are owned free OF in
cumbrance. "Uut OF every hundred
American farms more than seventy
one are fully paid for and less than
thirty are mOrtgaged. The average
mortgage represents only One-third
the value OF the farm on VII. oh IL Is
secured. The total value OF the farm
mortgages in the whole country is
hardly one-tenth Of the total value
Of all our farms. In 1880 nearly one
fifth OF the mortgage Indebtedness
was vested on farms, but in 1890
farm mortgages represented only one
seventh OF the country's Indebtedness
on real estate. Four-tifths or the
amount OF debt on farms and homes
was incurred for the commendable
purpose of buying and improving the
property. and "A like proportion OF the
farms and homes were m~Ortgaged for
the same purpose"
In 1880 the mOrtgagcd debt Of Hle
United States was about equally
divided between urban lots and farm
tracts. But in 1880 only - per cent
o: that mortgaged debt was on acres,
while 66 per cent. was upon urban
property. Most Of the facts have
been drawn from census data. But
there is no reason to suppose that
they would be greatly modified If
brought up TO the present data. The
truth Is, farm property is fr, er efrom
debt than il has beeniat any former
time during the last quarter OF Il cen
tury. A very large proportion OF
farms are bought on credit, or they
were a few years ago. A payment
was ma e down and the purchaser
made a mortgage for the back pay
ments. In time he made the farm
pay for itself, while all the while IL
supported a family. A large proper
ton Of the agric ilturist' did better
than this. They paid of their mort
cages and then laid up money, The
great increase in the proportion OF
urban mortgages results probab y
from spcculations that have been go
ing on in Western towns and cities
during the last ten ycars in real es.
tate. But IL the facts cited are ap-
proXimately correct, and there il good
authority behind them, no great in
dustrial business has lecn prosecuted
in this country with "A greater aver

Rotation OF Crops.

embody several distinct features. 1t
must comprise crops that mature in
different seasons OF the year, in order
that the labor of the farm may find
profitable employment This is i'm
perative. II should consist OF crops
for which the ground can be prepared
and the planting done at different
seasons OF the year. II should cen

Washing Windows.

There is method in everything, and
that there is method in the washing
OF windows shows simply that there
is nothing too small but that method
has a place in it. Probably eleven
out OF every dozen hCusemaids never
care or consider whether il is better
to wash "A window on the outside or
inside first, or whether Their Is the

whether the sunshine falls on it dur

guished. The correct method to
clean window glass is first dust the
sash and glass on the inside and wash
the panes, with a little ammonia in
the water, using a soft cloth TO wipe
