MY LOST KNIGHT.

But one of myriads thou art
That. while | watched, have kissed the
sands;
A pulse-beat from the throbbing heart
OF ocean, laving many lands.
One of the millions following close
Upon the heels of millions more,
Since first theforms of nature rose
From widest chaos motley store.
Now In the sunlight thou dost seem
A knight, advancing to the fray;
see thy FURNISHED helmet CLEAN.
Thy flashing falchion, far away.
Far off I saw thy nodding crest
Above thy hurrying couriers toss,
As all the glory of the west
Shone thy resplendent plumes across.
What glorious retinue thou hast;
Rank upon rank In close array
/ see them stretch an army vast.
Glad In their glittering panoply.
Now thou advancest to my feet
With martial beck-obeisance rare;
1 haste to give thee welcome meet
-Lol thou art not-so lately therei
Nayl Thourt not he my hand bespoke
He did not passl He's not behindl
l saw his surging rank that broke
To left and right, as fieeting wind.
1 wait but vainly; nevermore.
As the white hosts come marching on,
see that bright plume flashing DER
The thousand erests that are as one.
Perhaps some day my watehful eye.
Straining across that restless sea,
May yet discern that helmet high
Then shall my knight come back to me.

Molasses as Cattle Food.

In recent issue of the London Pro-
duce Markets Review, it is stated that
cold weather having set in at an early
date this year has improved the de-
mand for common sugar and low grade
molasses, or treacle, for cattle feeding
purposes, and as both forms are OBJ.
tainable at extremely low prices, it is
surprising that a larger use is not
made of this highly desirable addition
to the ordinary winter food. This jour
nal continues to say that on the con-
tinent, where the beet pulp is largely
and cheaply obtained, there is an ex.
tensive use of it for feeding purposes,
while it has been estimated that in the
year 1894 no less than one hundred
thousand tons of beet molasses were
disposed of in that way. In England,
where cane sugar is so cheap, the
preference has been given to it, and it
seems to injure animals less by scour-
ing than does the beet sugar or beet
molasses. Planter.

Fattening Hogs.

When hogs arrive at the proper age
for fattening it is very important that
they be In healthy, thrifty condition.
This is necessary II no food IS to be
wasted. Ration must be a gooa one,
must be given regularly, and under as
favorable conditions as possible. If the
animal has been fed for some time with
slops, and has had the run of good
pasture and change to corn, or good
fattening ration, the change should be
made gradually. In feeding new corn
especially it will pay to commence with
small quantity at first and gradually
increase as they get accustomed to the
feeding. ONLY sound nutritious food
should be given. 1t is useless to expect
that hog will be able to convert any
kind of food into healthy, sweet pork.
The food must be good If the meat is
good After an animal has been put
on full fattening ration all reasonable
care should be taken to see that full
ration is supplied at each meal. Give
the fattening hogs all that they will
eat up clean at each meal, but no more,
and the more fully this is done the bet
ter will be the gain in proportion to
the amount of food supplied, and let
the ration be fattening one. 1t is not
always necessary or best to feed all
corn, even when fattening. A variety
of food will give rather better results
than any one ration, and will keep
with better appetite and decrease
the liability to disease. Oil meal and
bran made into a slop with milk, or
middlings and milk can, in nearly all
cases, be fed to fattening hogs with
profit. Generally, if they can be al
lowed the run of good pasture, they
will do better than if confined in a
close pen. Generally, the quicker they
can be fattened the better. = Farm

a LOST ART REDlSCOvERED.
Method Found for Giving to Glass Most
Brilliant Luster.


Brilliant Luster.
Doubtless no relics of old industrial
art have so bewildered modern times
by their beauty as the rare little pieces
of Greek and Roman glass which have
from time to time been discovered in
excavating old ruins or tombs. This
glass has been found in every con-
ceivable shape; in long and narrow
tear bottles, in the shape of urns,
platters, vases and every conceivable
form in which glass might be of use,
either as an adornment or as an article
of use. The popularity of most of it,
however, has been the possession of
a rainbowlike iridescence upon its sur
face, brilliant of hue, like mother-of-
pearl and lustrous also like FURNISHED
gold or silver. 1t has long been ques-
ton whether this remarkable luster
came from the glass itself, OF was the
deposit of age. Some specimens are
rich with it, others do not show it at
all. Those also that possess it seem
to be encrusted with a very brittle
coating, which is easily detached from
the glass in thin scales. When these
scales are removed the glass resumes
what is supposed to have been its
original appearance. Similar lusters
are found upon old Hispano-Mauresque
pottery, and upon many of the pot
teries of Italy of the 18th and 10th
centuries, but these do not flake, the
luster being to all appearances part
of the glazed surface. The discovery
of the secret of the iridescence upon
old glass, made recently by the artist,
Louis C. Tiffany, leaves the world still
in doubt as to whether the old glass
was purposely made iridescent or not.
That Mr.. Tiffany has discoved meth
cd by which to secure this remarkable
iridescence is a fact quite beyond dis
pute. In appearance his iridescence
is identical with the old, seeming TO
form also a thin tegument upon the
surface of the glass itself, and shining
with luster whose beauty is beyond
words to describe. Whether a lost
art" has been rediscoyered or a new art
been born, scientific research has at
least broken down one of the barriers
which has made ancient art so much
of a mystery to moderns.-Current

To Keep bitches from Washing.

If the ditch is in meadow or pas

with a good sod, often extending to
the bottom of the ditch. If the ditch
is in a cultivated field, plow it and

fail, it can be sodded, if one chooses to
put that much work on it. All this

lie was right. The new actress was a
success from the very start, Interviews,
portraits, sketches concerning her APP
peared day after day in almost every
paper, and Miss Agnes Trenderville was
the most talked-of lady in London,
while the Pantheon theater was crowd
ed to excess every night, thing that
had not happened for many months
past.
Frank Hayler was fortunate enough
to be introduced to the eminent actress
n few days later at a fashionable "at
home" lie was surprised to find how
unassuming, unaffected and distinctly
ladylike she was. What wonder that he
fell in love with her at first sight? He
was introduced to her as 'Mr. Hayler,
the editor of the Chatterer."
The new number OF the paper had APP
peared that morning, containing an ex-
haustive appreciation of the new act
ress, one of his own articles, and the
first of the stories by "Junita."
"Oh, Mr.. Hayler!" was the remark,
this morning."
IL am very pleased to hear you say
that" he replied. 81 am glad you liked
my criticism on your performance"
Il did not mean that. | do not take
much notice of the criticisms on my
acting forgive me for saying So" as
she saw a shade of disappointment
across Franks face. "for where they are
all so good, there is certain sameness
about them that just becomes a wee bit
Eonotonous."
"Yes, l can quite believe that" was
all that Frank could say.
"But what | was really interested in
was the story by Junita.' l read 1t
over and over again"
did you, really? | knew people
would like il at the time l accepted it,
"oh, l do not suppose everybody
would be so stupid as am, shereplied.
'But it seemed to appeal to me so
strongly" Then, after pause, she
said; 81 hope am not prying into any
editorial secret, but do tell me, Mr..
IIayler, who is 'Junita?'"
MY dear Miss Trenderville, il is n
secret; so much so. that have not the
faintest idea who 'Junita' is myself"
MIR. Hayler, you are trifiing with
me-"
Upon my honor, Miss Trenderville,
do not know. l would tell you with
pleasure if did"
"lIow very strange" she murmured.
"Ies, it is a strange story. will tell
u to you the next time l have the pleas
IRE of seeing you"
Frank had that pleasure over and
over again, and made such good use OF
his time that soon it was noised abroad
that the editor of the Chatterer was
engaged to be married TO the beautiful
and accomplished actress, Miss Agnes
Trenderville. The circulation of the
Chatterer had gone up. A series OF
short stories by Junita' was big at
traction. The stories had been sent in
by registered post. The editor had
eagerly accented them and had put
The Van Buren press., 1896-01-18

them in hand at once. The only thing
| that had worried him was that pay
ment had never been asked for. He had
no address where he could send the
check, and he was waiting patiently
for "Junita" or some one on her behalf,
to make application for the money.
He was sitting in the editorial room
one morning when the telephone bell
rang. He went to the instrument and
was told that an old lady wished for an
interview. "Junita" flashed through
| his mind. He sent word down that she
should be shown up. The old lady with
the squealsy voice, which had amused
! Frank SO much ON IA former occasion,
entered the room slowly and advanced
toward him. Frank met her with ex-
tended hand.
"My dear madamei" he exclaimed,
shave you brought me some more
stories?"
"You iihcd the others ?" was herque
ton.
| 81 liked them? / should think so.
Everybody likes them" -
81 am SO pleased. told you, fyou re-
member, that they would be appreci-
ated."
you did, and you were quite right"
And now the old lady continued,
81 have called to ask you for"
"The cheek?" interrupted Frank.
"Yon are very kind. That is what l
came for"
Excuse me moment. l will fill 1t
in for you," said Hayler.
He sat down, drew out his check
book, dated the check, then turned to
his visitor and said:
Pardon me, but to whom shall
make it payable?"
ITO 'Junita,'" she said.
"Oh, excuse me; can hardly do that"
"Why not2" she asked. "If 'Junita'
indorses it, that will be sufficient, will
it net?"
"Well, suppose so; but it will hardly
be the correct thing"
He wrote the check, tore it out and
handed it to his visitor.
"You will sign the receipt, please, in
your own name," as he handed her the
| form to fill up.
She wrote her name in bold hand
and handed the paper back to him. He
glanced at it andAstarted back in sur
prise; for there at the bottom, in unmis-
taxable letters, was the maine, "Agnes
| Trenderville.'
A silvery laugh greeted his ears, and
when he turned his head Agnes in
reality stood before him. She had tori
off her disguise, and looked like what
she undoubtedly was-a charming
young lady.
"Agnesl" was all Frank could say.
"Yes, dear; Agnes. Don't be cross

Wednesday evening, it being universally pro-
hounced the best yet given. Miss Lillian
Chandler charmed everybody by her brilliant
performance on the violin. This was Miss
Emile Starkloif's first appearance in Elkton,
and her cultivated voice greatly pleased her
audience. Miss Orndoril's recitations were
dramatically rendered and earned her several

10 the pleasure OF the evening by his well
rendered tenor solos. while Mr.. Richie and
Mr.. Brown were earned fresh Iaurels by their

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, April 9th, IS!

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, April 9th, 1896.
The Republican leaders in Congress are
men of too much experience in such matters
to allow themselves to become the tools of
the Democrats and to begin fighting each
other, instead of the common enemy. They
know that the little hope that Democrats
allow themselves to indulge in Of ever re-
gaining control of this government again is
based entirely upon their ability to stir up
dissension among the supporters of the sew
eral candidates TO- the Republican Presiden-
tial nomination. withstanding the action
and talk OF n fow of the over-zealous friends
of some of the Republican candidates, your
correspondent has no hesitation whatever in
asserting that the contest for the nomination
will not De allowed either before or during
the st. Louis convention to degenerate into
cat and dog fight that will leave sores for the
Democrats to throw salt on during the cam
paign. Each of the candidates has warm
supporters among the National leaders of
the Republican party and each of these
leaders will use every honorable effort to
as he has perfect right to do but there will
be no blows below the belt with their sane
ton, and when the nomination shall have
been made every man of them will be found
cordially supporting the nominee. In Wash
ington these things are well-known because
Republicans all know the cordial personal
relations which exist between Speaker Reed,
Cows. Mckinley and Morton, and Senators
Allison, Cullom and Quay and that should
any one Of the six be chosen that he would
receive no warmer or more heartfelt con-
graduation than would come from the other
five, but they are here written for the especial
beReilt of those Republicans who sometimes
make the mistake of getting their informa-
ton as to Republican affairs from the Demo-
cratic or assistant Democratic press.
