it pulled down, commended the act. A
republican who had received a similar
flag from republican headquarters when
he discovered what it was, was so dis
gusted with the puerile exhibition Of
partnership and Dissertation Of the flag
in this way that he took it back 10 head
quarters and said he wanted none of
such business. When Mark Hanna, die
tator though he be, suggested a flag
day to emphasize republican loyalty to
American institutions md to offset the
charge if possible that the republican
| party was working under the English
flag, he did not contemplate al Ameri-
can flag covered with pictures of Nc
Kinley and Hobart. That was only ac-
k~nowledging the odium of the stigma he
! was trying to remove. And when Mr..
Bryan endorsed the, suggestion and
Chairman Jones appointed October 3lst
as the flag day, it was "a test Of loyalty to
the American flag the United States
over. 1t was small loyalty and rank
partizanship, an insult to the American
| flag, to d~lstigure the flag with any mans
face, and more especially to distigure it
with the face of the representative of
British interests, and British gold. AS
well have put an English nag there at
once. An American who would not re-
sent such an insult, be he republican,
democrat or popuIist, would be a craven
coward indeed, whether he pulled the
flag down or not. 1t was a day set
apart by common consent Of all parties
in which to manifest loyalty to this
country, and the American flag only
represented that loyalty. Republicans
generally endorsed the pulling down of
hese exhibitions Of partizanship on that
particular day. and some have personally
| expressed to Mr. Schmidt their appreci-
alton of his patriotic act.

CRADLE SONG.

TO sleep the corn is sinking,
For heavy hangs its head:
The ti1nid flowers are shrinking
From darkness in their bed.
The evening breezes f1ocking,
Like gentle angels blest,
Come softly, softly rocking
The corn and flowers to rest.
Just as the flowers are shrinking,
SO timid, too, art thou,
And as the corn heads sinking,
So Dods thy dear head now.
And sounds Of evening winging,
Like gentle angels blest,
Come round thy cradle, singing
My darling one to rest.

Natures Cold Storage House.


In the valley Of the Plethora river,
which flows from the Ural mountains
into the Arctic ocean near Nova Zem-
bla, there is state of things which is
attracting the attention of naturalists
and is only one more example of how
judicious]y nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has sturdy growth Of
orowberries, cloudberries, cranberries,
any number of small fruit bearing
plants, with heath moss and ichens,
some Of which bear seed and fruit in
great profusion. An eminent ornitholo.
gist, in the course of his researches in
this locality, stopped for little time.
There were millions Of acres covered
with these growths. The arctic summer
has perpetual sun, and the indigenous
plants and trees grow and develop with
great rapidity. The summer comes sud-
denly, and with it innumerable birds
Of all varieties, but they come to what
seems barren waste, for there is MOTH
hours, however, this frostbound region
changes it's appearance. The snow dis
solves, the ice melts away, and natures
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants,
with their loads Of fruit, keeping it in
the most perfect condition until the
springtime, when it furnishes food for
the millions of birds that make this
their summer home. New Y ork Ledger.

LABRADOR DOGS.

LABRADOR DOGS.
How q Number of Them Went on an I'M
promptu Hunt.
The dogs of Labrador are not only
most useful as draft animals, but for
hunting as well. A writer in Forest
and Stream, who has spent several sea-
sons in Labrador, relates rather thrill
ing experience with team of these
dogs, who, he says trot along content
eddy enough so long as there is no game
in sight, but the moment they scent
game they seem to conclude that drag
ging sled is for them merely side is
sue; that their actual mission in life is
to go after the game whenever it is
within range. He says:
"A thaw had been followed by
frost, and the snow covering the ice on
the lakes was frozen hard. so four of
our party got on the sleigh to have
final drive. They started in great glee,
and just as they rounded the first point
they saw fine young caribou buck
about 500 yards ahead. AS soon as the
dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack
Of wolves and started like an arrow
from bow after the caribou, which
looked round on hearing the yelp, saw
Its pursuers and flew over the ice, keep
ing in the middle of the lake. When the
dogs started with jerk, one of the party
was thrown off violently and slid long
way on the hard snow before he could
pull up, feeling redhot from the fric-
tion and gazing wistfully after his fast
the sleigh like grim death and enjoyed
this novel hunt. Of course, there was
not the slightest chance of their catch
ing the animal, which, instead of max
Ing for the bush on the nearest shore,
held on in the middle of the lake, right
up to the end, where it took to the
woods. The impromptu hunters soon
found themselves in a difficulty, for it
was impossible to stop the dogs, who
could not realize that they had sleigh
behind them with passengers. The
driver tried in vain to stop them, and
there was every probability Of broken
limbs or necks when they would strike
the bush. However, they soon made up
their minds and dropped off one by one,
rolling over and over in the snow, or
sliding some distance away, with much
damage to their neither garments and
much abrasion of the cuticle. Mean
while the dogs, relieved Of the weight,
rushed after the deer, and, entering the
woods, got tangled up among the trees.
and, as usual on such occasions, wound

New York Chinese Quarters.

There is one feature of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinanan, and that is the concert
garden. TO congregate in public place
to drink Intoxicating beverages, listen
to sensuous music and watch vulgar
displays Of the human figure, to be
waited upon by young women Of more
than questionable character, to take
part in profane and obscene talk, all
this is beneath the dignity of China
man, and nowhere in the Chinese quar-
ter, from beginning to end, can such
place be found. But they are found on
the Bowery, and Germans, Irishmen,
Italians and Jews fill the places to the

A WOman's Lightning Change in a
Divorce Court at KOkOmO.

Kokomo, Ind, March 10 A light
ming matrimonial act was performed
here to-day that is believed broke the
record. The fact of changing her
name three times in three minutes
was successfully accomplished by
Olive Smith. AT 2:25 o'clock she
went into Court and obtained a di-
vorce from Francis M. Trader; from
there she repaired to the Clerks Of
flee and secured license to marry
Joseph n. Tyler, and before the ink
was dry on either the divorce or
license, Squire Loop was pronounc-
ing the ceremony that made her Mrs.
Tyler. In the divorce her maiden
name of Smith was restored, giving
her the three names in three minu ties.

Moisture is Necessary

For a good hatch Often when
chickens are Matching, the inner men,
brane of the egg adheres to the down
of the chicken, which prevents liberia
ton from the she'll This is usually
caused 10y the nest being kept too dry.
A great deal of trouble and loss in this
way might be prevented by proper
management. A shovel of moist
earth should always be placed in the
bottom of the nest box. The heat OF
the hens body draws up gradual
supply of moisture from the soil. II
the weather or location is very damp,
this is not essential, but moisture must
be supplied from some source or the
evaporation from the eggs will be 30
great that the vitality of the germ
will be injured. A few days before
the eggs are due to hatch, dip them in
warm water just before the hen re-
turns to her nest, or else pour q pint
of warm water around the nest. If
the eggs are dipped the work must be
carefully and quickly done, This
moisture will be converted into steam
by the heat of the hens body. and
this softens the inner membrane of
the egg.

and Minnesota, in the order named
reported total OF. $4,000 bushels or
90 per cent. The remainder of the
seed was located chiefly in a half
dozen of the older middle and central
states, with Kentucky and Tennessee
rather prominent. New York, which
harvested $4,000 tons of hay from
5,243, 900 acres moved, saved less than
10000 bushels seed, while Iowa, with
about an equal acreage, threshed out
$4,000 bushels seed. Considering
the prolific yield per acre of alfalfa,
census returns from California, re-
porting only 2,2lS,OOO tons hay harv-
ested from 1,432,O0O acres moved,
must be considered too low.

What to Grow.

Because OF the low prices for wheat,
oats and corn, there is much inquiry,
and rightly too. concerning what will
be a profitable crop the coming season.
In a few counties of the corn-growing
States, there is disposition to depre-
ciate the value nf this crop. Some
other crop will be substituted. The
same sentiment exists concerning oats.
Now while it is good business prin-
ciple to carefully consider all sides of
the question involved, the culture of
our great crops should not be discard
ed even partially without very good
reasons. If cowpeas, alfalfa, Ksflir
corn, and roots can be grown to
limited extent, no doubt they will
prove money makers, provided they
can be fed to stock and GO to make
butter, beef, pork or mutton. The
farmer in the corn belt will however
make these changes gradually, tying
principally to the crops, with which he
mas been most successful, giving them
better care and culture; and by in
creasing the quality through selection,
the yield through more scientific
methods, will find them as heretofore
his best financial friends. A change
to any one crop the value of which is
not widely understood, is as sure to
result in disaster as did the ill-advised
abnormal increase in the potato
acreage during 1896. Sow more
clover, some millet, increase slightly
the acreage of roots, grow more fruits,
put more faith in stock, but those who
dwell in the fertile valley of the Miss
issippi must not neglect the great
grain crops.-American Agriculturist.
