In former years it was an open secret that some of the officers set a very bad example for the young men in their charge. Indeed the charge was made that the encampment was, for many who wore the blue, nothing more or less than weeks carousal at the expense of the state.

he had much literary taste and ability, too
The poem which he gnve and which l have

With tenderness TO the time Of youth
Eugene Field, In Chicago Record.l
A bird sat in the maple tree
And this was the song he sang to mo:
80 little boy, awake, awake, arisel
The sun is high in the morning skies;
! The brooks a-play in the pasture lot
And wondereth that the little boy
It loveth dearly cometh not
To share its turbulanee and Joy;
The grass hath kisses cool and sweet
For truant little brown bare feet
30 come, o child, awake, arise!
The sun Is high In the morning skiesl"
So from the yonder maple tree
The bird kept singing unto mei
But that was very long ago
] did not think = l did not know
Else would not have longer slept
And dreamt the precious hours away;
Else would / from my bed have leapt
To greet another happy day
A day untouched OF care and truth,
With sweet companionship of youth
The dear old friends which you andI
Knew in the happy years gone by!
Still in the maple can be heard
The music OF the morning bird,
And still the song is Of the day
That runneth DER with childish plays
Still Of each pleasant old-time place
And OF the old-time friends knew
The pool where hid the furtivc dace,
The lot the brook went scampering through
The mill, the lane, the bell1ower tree
That used 10 love to shelter mo
And all those others knew then,
But which cannot know again!
Alasl from yonder maple tree,
The morning bird sings not to me;
Else would his ghostly voice prolong
An evening, not a morning, song;
And he would tell OF each dear spot
knew so well and cherished then,
AS all forgetting, not forgot
BY him who would be young againl
o child, the voice from yonder tree
Calleth TO you and not to me;
SO wake and know those friendships all

stone-paved dairy, where pans OF
milk and cream were ranged in or
derly array; great stone pots stood
under the shelves, and a blue-painted
churn was already placed on the table
for service.
Mr.. Bellenden was Justly proud Of
his dairy. Not chance guest came
to the house but was invited down to
see it; not q housekeeper in the
neighborhood but secretly envied its
many conyeniences and exquisite
neatness.
''And it isn't the dairy alone" 1" tri.
umphantly remarked Seth Bellenden.
"And you may go through the house
from garret to cellar, and you will
never find speck of dust or O stain
OF rust. There never was such a
housekeeper as my WIFE"
Mrs. Bellenden was yonng, too
scarcely Internationally. She had
been the daughter of retired army
officer, delicately reared and quite ig-
norant of all the machinery of domes-
tic life until she married Seth Bellen-
den.
",1t's very strange" Lucy had writ
ten to her father. ''The farm is
beautiful. You never saw such mon
strous old buttonball trees, nor such
superb roses, and the meadows are
full OF clover and the strawberries
shine like jewels on tho sunny hill
sides. But nobody sketches OF reads.
don't think there is q copy of Ten
nyson in the whole neighborhood
and no one ever heard of Dore or Mil
lais. All they think of is how many
dozens of eggs the hens lay, and how
many cheeses they can make in a year.
And the woman who has a new re.
ceipt for wafiles, or a new pattern for
horrible thing that they call crazy
quilts, is the leader in society"
But presently young Mrs. Bellenden
herself caught the fever and became a
model housewife. Example is all
powerful, and Lucy began to believe
that the whole end and aim OF life was
domestic thrift, money-saving and the
threadmill of work.
my DEAR" said Seth, ''if you
thought you could get along without
Hepsy, the maid, l might be able to
afford that new reaper before the oat
crop comes in.
"'ll try" said Lucy.
And after that she rose before day
break and worked later into the night
than ever.
"What is the matter with your
hands, Lucy?" Seth asked one day
''rhey are not so white and beautiful
as they used to be.
Lucy colored as she glanced down
at the members in question.
81 suppose it is making the fires, "
said she.
And then she took to wearing old
kid gloves al her sweeping and dust
ing aud digging out of ashes.
''My coat is getting shabby" Seth
one day remarked.
why don't you buy another one?'
asked his wife.
Seth laughed-a short laugh.
"What do you think Mrs Higgin-
botham has done?" said he. "She
ripped up her husbands old suit aud
cut pattern by it, and made new
one, and entirely saved him ten dol
lars!

Making Wall Paper.

1t is very interesting to go through
wall paper factory and follow the
processes of manufacture. The de-
signs are tue first things observed.
Formerly there was scarcity of these,
but now there is a flood, and a manu-.
facturer must exercise much artistic
taste and business ability in making
selections. Various designers have
different speciaties flowers,
others architectural ideas, etc. and
of recent years architects have devo-
ted many of their spare moments to
originating wall paper designs. A
complete design consists of three
pieces side wall. border and ceiling.
The general width of patterns OF the
side wall and ceiling as used in the
trade and manufactured by American
machinery is eighteen inches, and the
length OF the repeat in the pattern is
eight, eleven and three-fourths or
fourteen and three-fourths inches, as
suggested by the chara cter of the de-
sign, the shorter repeats being the
most satisfactory to the trade in gem
eral. Many of the best effects are
produced in papers containing only
four to six colors, but as many as
twenty or twenty-five are sometimes
used Each color and shade in n de-
sign means a separate roller to the
manufacturer. New York Telegram.

SCIENTIFIC Uses Of LInuid Air.

In recent lecture on the scientific
uses OF liquid air Professor Dewar
froze a soap bubble by means of the
intense cold produced near the sur
face of liquid air. The same effect,
however, was obtained by Mr.. PIN by
natural cold in Colorado last winter,
when the thermometer stood at four
teen degrees below zero, Fahrenheit,
that Is to say at forty-six degrees of
frost. Acting ON the suggestion of
his little boy, who was blowing soap
bubbles, he sent one into the cold air
outside. 1t froze instantly, and set
tied to the ground as hollow shell of
ice. When the thermometer rose TO
zero the bubbles would not freeze,
but whether this was owing to tho
change of temperature or somo other
condition of the air Mr. PIN is unable
TO say. London Globe.

Weight OF the Hair,

An interesting article was published
in Paris paper recently regarding
the weight which a hair from the hu-
man head can support. Hair, says
the author, "have a force of resistance
hard to believe unless one has con
vinced himself by the experiment. "
Bichat does not fear to say that moth
ing else, not even excepting fbrous
tissue, can support SO large weight
in proportion to its volume. Grellier,
who shares his opinion, has estimated
that a single hair can carry weight
OF 1884 decigrams (more than hun
dred grams). According TO Richter,
a blond hair eau bear more than Dix
ounces, and a black one still more.
One Can thus appreciate the great
strength of the ropes which the Car
thaginians made of the hair. New

In Chinese villages.

Mr.. Weldon and l often went into
the villages, walking between the
fields of shivering rice, but far oftener
the villagers came to see MS in our
house-boat men, women, babies,
dogs, and all. Always some little side
canal, the oifshoot of a Inain water
way, was the only street between or
before the village houses. There was
always the towpath, but the best
route was by second path leading
behind the houses. By following that
we passed through the farms and
yards. We saw the men and women
thrashing the rice by beating a log
with handfuls of it 10 scatter the kerr
nels on the ground. We saw the
farmers turning the soil over and
breaking 1t up laboriouslY, or punch
ing holes in the thick clay, dropping
seeds in them. and then smearing the
holes over with a rake. We went into
the inner courts of the better houses,
and noted how the men, and even the
tiniest baby boys, thrust themselves
forward to greet us, while the women
and girls skunk behind or merely
peeped through the doorways and
open windows the latter being Eliza
bethan contrivances, framed for little
panes of oiled paper or the enamelled
inner coating of seashells. White
goats, wolfsh dogs, common-sense
chickens, hump-baekeI COWS aud

life that is 30 painfully missing in
Japan and so abundant in China. -
