The Other Kind.

Not long ago well-dressed woman
entered the savings in a Western
town and told the clerk that she wished
to deposit some money to the credit of
George Sampson.
Recognizing her as the wife of q
man by that name, who already had an
account open, the clerk rightly guessed
that the money in question was to start
an account for one of her children.
as he minor?' he inquired.
"Well, 1 guess not" responded the
depositor, Indignantly. That's some.
thing we've never had in our family
yet! And if George shows any leanin'
toward it when he gets old enough
he amt but 10 now-I reckon his pa
can tell him yarns about mines explod-
in and shafts fallin' ON top of folks,
that'll settle him quicker'n q wink!"

ICE CREAM SODA IN LONDON.
Has Only Been Recently introduced,
but 1t Has Become a Craze.

"The ice-cream soda craze, which
American women have had so badly
for the last few years, has broken out
in London" said traveller recently re.
turned from abroad. ut hasn't got
| firm clutch on the English women yet,
but it is growing rapidly, and l ex.
| pect that in the course of a few years
| 1t will materially aid in the disappear
ance Of the beautiful English complex.
ion for which women of the old coun-
try are famous. An American confec-
toner is responsible for the production
of the ice-cream soda in London. Be
fore he settled in place in upper Re
gent street the deadly mixture was
practically unknown in that great city.
The few English women who had been
to this country and tasted 1t here Of
course knew what it was, and they lost
no time in patronizing the confec'
toner.
"The great mass of women, however,
looked aghast at the combination OF
strawberry syrup, live soda water, and
ice-cream. Those who got up enough
they had done so, and the result was
that it soon became necessary for other
confectioners in the neighborhood to get
soda fountains and learn how to mix
the drink in order to hold their trade.
There are now half a dozen or more
places in London where ice-cream soda
is sold, and all day the fountains are
surrounded by women. The scene re-
minds one very much of any one OF
our uptown confectionery shops on
hot afternoon. | expect it will not be
very long before the English womep
will become as devout worshipers at the
ice-cream soda shrine as are our Amer
lean women at the present day. Here
tofore the chief diversion of the English
woman out shopping has been to cal
ices and cake or drink chocolate, but J
predict the entire disappearance of this
fashion in very short time. Ice
cream soda has never failed to get o
deadly clutch on the women of any
country where it has settled, and 1t will
be funny if it does not make complete
conquest of the Londoners."

SUMMER CARE OF MILK.

Cleanliness in all dairy operations
is of first Importance. Milk with dry
hands. Keep the atmosphere in which
the milk must stand free from bad
odors, Preserve the desirable favors
in the cream. If the milk is wanted
sweet, lower the temperature as soon
as the milk is drawn from the COW to
just above freezing if possible. Neglect
of proper care of milk by patrons is
the cause of much trouble at the fac
tory and results in like reduction in
net profits. 1t pays to be honest. -

loNcFELLows FIRST POETRY
He Was More than Thirty When HE
First Volume Was Published.

Toward the end of 1886 he took up
his abode in Cambridge, where he was
TO reside for the rest Of his llfe-for
forty-five years. He was made to reel
Mt home in the society of the scholars
who clustered about Harvard, then al
most the sole center of culture in the
country. His work for the college was
so exacting that he had not time for
literature. The impulse to write poetry
returned; yet the next book he pub
lshed was the prose Hyperion" which
appeared in 1889, and which, though 1t
has little plot or action, may be called
T. romance. The youthful and poetic
hero, o passionate pilgrim in Europe,
was, more or less, a reflection Of Long,
fellow himself.
A few months later, in the same year,
he published his first volume of poetry
Voices Of the Night''-in which he
reprinted certain Of his earlier verses,
most of them written while he was at
Bowdoin Some of these boyish verses
show the influence Of Bryant, and 9TH
ers reveal to us that the young poet
had not yet looked at life for himself,
but still saw it through the stained
glass windows OF European tradition.
The same volume contained also some
more recent poems: 1.-THE Beleasuered
City" and "The Reaper and the Flow
ers," and the psalm Of Life'-perhaps
the first CT his poems to win swift and
abiding popularity. These lyrics tcsti-
fed that Longfellow was beginning to
have q style of his own. As Hawthorne
wrote to him, Nothing equal to them
was ever written in this world-this
Western world, 1 mean"
Certainly no American author had yet
written any poem of tho kind so good
MS the best of those in LongfelloW'S vol
ume Of Ballads" printed two years
later. Better than any other American
poet Longfellow had mastered the diff
ficulties OF tho story in song; and no
knew how to combine the swiftncss and
the picturesQueness the ballad requires.
His ballads have more of tho old-time
magic, more OF the early simplicity,
than those of any modern English au-
thor. OF it's kind, there is nothing bet
ter in tho language than "The Skeleton
In Armor," with its splendid lyric
swing; and "The Village Blacksmith"
and 1.-THE Wreck Of the 'Hesperus' are
almost as good in their humber sphere.
Excelsior" IN the same volume, voices
the nobler aspirations Of youth, and has
been taken to heart by thousands Of
BOYS and girls.-St Nicholas.

THE CULTURE OF FLAX.

Flax requires rich, light loan SOIL
and, preferably, grass sod turned I'M
der. The land should be moist. but
not wet, and low-lying meadow on a
river bottom is especially favorable to
it. 1t is grown either for the seed or
for the fibre, and the method of
cultivation differs as the purpose for
which the crop is grown. For seed,
the seed sown is not more than two to
three pecks per acre, as thin sowing
encourages the growth of side
branches, on which the fruit, called
seed boils, are produced more than on
the main stem. 1t is mostly grown for
seed on this continent, as the climate
is too dry and warm for the best kind
of fibre. The only locality where the
best fibre might be grown is in the
Southern mountain region, where the
summers are cool and the rainfall Is
twice as much as elsewhere on the
continent. The seed is sown early in
May, about the time of oat seeding.
The product of seed is from ten to
fifteen bushels an acre, and at the
present prices prevailing, it is the most
profitable of all grain crops. AS the
preparation of the fibre requires much
hand labor, it is not paying crop,
and it is hardly possible that at pres
ent wo can compete with the Russians
and Bohemians in growing and pre-.
pairing it. The culture is rapidly dy-
ing out in Ireland on account of the
competition of the Eastern European
Nations, where labor is SO cheap

OVERWHELMED WITH FISH.
How the Crew of lthe Lion Had 2S Drag
Nets Filled With Useless Whiting-An
Night and All Day They Worked to Get
Rid of Them.

The schooner Lion of Friendship came
into Portland harbor yesterday and sold
her small fare of mackerel and then pro-
ceeded on her way home to Friendship.
They had been fishing with drag nets
along the coast from Gloucester to this
port. They found them very scarce
They did manage to catch 500 at one
time off Wood Island but one night they
set all their twenty eight nets and got but
twenty five inackerel. However, they
caught plenty of other fish; in fact alto
gether too many. One night school of
whiting, large white useless fish, from
one to two feet long, came around and
soon completely filed every one of the
twenty eight drag nets. All night long
the three men on the schooner labored at
those nets, pulling them in with their
useless freight, and all the next day they
labored picking the fish out of the nets
and throwing them overheard. 1t was
discouraging job. 1t is hard and dis
agreeable enough work to handle fish
when they are worth something, but
when they are useless, and have to be got
rid of, it is disagreeable indeed So
arduous was the task of freeing the nets
from the thousands of fish that other
fishermen near by came and voluntarily
aided the crew of the Lion.

A LoNELY:PIcNIC.
That Man and Woman Enjoyed on POM
eyoy's Rock.

Yesterday man who gave the name
Of William L. O'Neil, and woman an
swering to that Of Mary Ann Bailey,
started to have a little picnic of their
own. They sauntered down to the Back
Bay and enjoyed the cool breezes for
time and then decided that they needed
a sniff of Old Ocean, so the man pro-
cured boat, after providing an am
pie supply of stimulant and very mod
crate amount of provisions
Thus equipped the twain shaped their
course towards the rising sun. AS Pom
eroy's Rock was sighted, the couple de-
cided that should be their goal
Once there the boat was moored and
the couple took up their quarters on the
barren spot. They got plenty of shifts
of ocean breezes, for the wind was quite
strong and it made itself felt, but there
was plenty of inyigorator and they
didn't mind. Finally William thought
it time ''to get move on, and evident
ly forgetful of Mary, he unmoored his
bark and left her a solitary deserted
creature for the seals to bark at and the
gulls to wheel about in their encircling
flights.
By and by, the woman was seen to be
alone on the rock and no one near, and
Deputy Marshal Sterling was notified.
He Immediately ordered the officers to
look after her, and the woman was
brought back to ''home and country"
and carried to the station, where the man,
who had also been found, was also TAX
en-. Their goods were confiscated. This
morning they may not feel SO well.

ANOTHER WORD FROM AFRICA.
Death of Miss Drew, Rev. Mr.. Luscomb's
Faithful Nurse.

1t will interest some of the readers of
the PRESS to know that another letter
from Mrs. Luscomb has reached Portland
dated from Makomp, West Africa, April
21, 1895. 1t contains further particulars
of her husbands death, and that of the
devoted nurse, so well known to Portland
physicians, Miss Fidelia Drew
Mr.. Luscomb was taken with the most
malignant type of fever His little son
Ralph, sick at the same time, had much
milder form of the disease and was
partially recovered when his father died.
Mrs. Luscomb, herself, came down
with the fever the day her husband s
form was laid to rest, and was not able
to sit up when Miss Drew, the faithful
untiring helper through all, was herself
stricken.
She was not very sick for several days
although her temerature, normal during
each day, persistently rose higher and
higher every night She did not think
she was going to die. She spoke of
having specially precious night with
the Lord. Saturday, the 18th, just three
days before she entered glory.
Monday she sank into stupor and
never again recovered consciousness,
though Mrs. Luscomb tried to raise her
that she might send messages to her
friends. These two loved ones were
buried each on Wednesday, at p m,
under the palm trees; Mr.. Luscomb on
April Sd, and Miss Drew on April 17th
''knd SO their bodies will lie in Africa S
soil till the glad day when the trumpet
shall sound and the dead in Christ shall
rise,' writes this heroic woman, and
adds, standing with her little one above
her graves, "Who shall say their coming
was in vain?''
We are glad to assure her many friends
that she has no idea of returning to
America, but will finish her work
ID. W where she felt her Lord called
her, the spot formerly consecrated to her
