WORTH For If.

Earth Ia not all dark and grim
For the heart that jolly is;
Where the sunlight shineth dim
Showeth where tho folly is;
Part the branches, let CLEAN
or tho MONDAY glory in
Every fitful, golden beam
Rsth o rich life story In.
Ope the door; let the breeze
Bring song of beauty rarcI
Quick the cody impulse sees
Some rich line OF duty there. E,
Laughing child and singing bird,
Plownian's call and lowing kline
Tell q tale cf soy unheard
In tho tninstrel's glowing line.
Rahe the meadow; turn n stone;
Stand upon the meuntain'e broTI
Nature sings her sweetest tone.
Springs her oiearest fountains now.
Cflonn the harvest by the way,
Whatsoo'er IL leaves to thee;
Thou Shalt sing a merry lay
AL its golden shoaves to see.

steering BY . Tow.

Not the least frequent of ocean
stea mship mishaps, especially during
the heavy weather of the winter
months. Il the disabling of the steer
ing gear. The plan of one vessel utiliz-
ing another as rudder in such a case,
followed on at least one occasion that
comes to mind just at present, may.
therefore, be of interest. A towing
hawser was, in this instance. taken
from the bow of the vessel that was
towed, passed to the stern of the tow
ing vessel and made fast to point one
hundred feet or more forward of the
stern. At a point near the latter wero
fitted two purchases, one on the port
and the other on the starboard side.
for the purpose of detecting the hawser
either to port or star board, and. by
the angle thus made. changing the di-
rection Of the pull on the hawser.
This. of course, changed the direction
of the vessel. In other words, any de-
lection. either to the right or to me
left Of the towing line. by means Of
the purchases produced the same effect
on the towing vessel as putting the
helm over to port or star board -Cas
sier's Magsxine.

CRY NOISES.
BsiL AaE

What tho People Hear when They Most
Want Quiet.
It's pretty hard to write In the city
these wide-open-window days.
The dust you can screen off, but slis
sounds from the street vendors strike
your ear with sicllening thud.
'Stror berriesr'
'Here's your fine sparrowgrass, only
ten . bunch"
''Grass cut, lady?"
Scissors to grind?"
"Any oil clothes?"
Then the man with tho cart full Of
erockery appears, rattling two plates
together like tambourines, until am
ready to shrek.
He finds mine an attractive block,
for he stays arourd for an hour OF
more.
Then the hand organ appears. 1t is
on wheels, is propelled by man and
woman, and shoots off melody like a
park of musical artillery.
When they have gone, two ruffiane
With fog-horn voices terrify us with
fierce assertions regarding an 'extror!'
Some of my neighbors buy it, but
have been caught by such before.
They fade away at last, and then the
man next door starts in on his fute
practice.
There is an alteration in the base.
ment between the butchers boy and
the servant, and a man begins to beat
. carpet two houses away.
Then chap with a homicidal face
ushers along bony horse and cart
full of potted plants aud flowers.
"Flowers, lady? Desc are fine. desc
arei''
am wondering what chance full
hatrack would have If he were alone
with it, when my servant emerges and
noses the posies with an anxious look.
She buys three. and comes upstairs
with her arms full and a face filled
with delight.
She wants them for her room, she
says, and she is SO happy at having
them that / share in the general joy.
But they are measly, wretched look
| ing things! Forced for sale, and will
be dead in a couple of days.
He has given her q bad ten-cent
place, too. but ms he is out of sight
and her tirae il valuable, take the
dime off her hands, and she goes OF

Seeking Homes In Our state.

Jackson, July 27.-Every day or 80
people are here from the Northwest
with the object of moving South. Sew
eral prominent citizens of Nebraska are
here now on this mission. They are:
William Oyer, c. A. Atkinson and ]. F.
Hay, all of Lincoln. They are under
stood to be much pleased with that por-
tion of the country they have inspected,
and If they can make purchases to suit
them will in all probability come South.

The Insurance Question.

In discussing the insurance question
the Natchez Democrat says:
One of the matters that should and in
all likelihood will occupy the attention
of the legislature at its next sitting
will be the insurance laws as they now
exist on our statute books. When these
laws were enacted 1t was doubtless the
intention of their author to secure as
much revenue as possible for the State
from the insurance companies, but the
result has been more harmful to the
citizens of the State than was foreseen,
and If any additional revenues have
been derived from this source they have
come out of the peoples pockets. and
not out of those of the insurance COM
panies. The effect of these laws has
been to exclude from the State many
reputable companies, and thus doing
away with much competition has en-
abled the remaining companies to
largely increase their rates. and the in.
sured have been the sufferers therefrom.

A large panther was killed recently
ten miles east OF Water Nalley. Two
panthers went into the yard OF Mr..
Mckenzie, and ono of them attempted
to spring on Mrs. Mckenzie, when the
attention of the faithful dog was at
tracted and the panther was kept at
hoeing and heard the screams Of his
wife, and hurried to the house, got his
gun and killed one of the panthers, but
the other escaped. The killed measured
seven and half feet. There is no
large swamp near the place and it is
thickly settled neigh borhood where
they appeared, and there is no account
ing for their presence there.
