THE FAIRY TALE.

Come. baby. clasp my tired hand
And lead along tl-9 stariit strand
on causeWays buff Of yellow sand
To where in feweled towers stand
The swinging gates OF Fairyiand-
Those misty. inward swinging gates.
Beyond whose bars enchantment waits.
and all the hIossou1y overgrowth OF
childhOod's lost estates
Remember. baby. have told
You long. long tales Of DAYS Of oil.
When magic carpets few unrolied.
And palace keys were forged OF gold.
Within the gates OF Fairyland.
Now you shall take me there with you.
and We will 90 to-niEht-we two
Where tricksv elves clink merrily thei
gOblets filled with dew.
I grew 50 tired. baby dear.
OF all the tinseled falseness here
oh. for the dwarfs in jenkins queer.
Where castles in 4 night appear
Within the gates Of fairylaud.
Oh for the land where fountains sing.
And peasant rags may hide king,
And no one ever tolls and frets OF grieves
at anythingl
Come. baby. let Us both away
To hear the magic music play.
And meet along the popped WY
With gnOme or pixie. Elf OF fay,
Within the gates OF Fairyiand.
Then no! for all the motley crew.
For giants. robbers. Ogres too
Oh. TO go back a score OF years and JUS

How TO Have Fresh Vegetables Almost All
the Year Around.
In many sections Of the country fresh
vegetables mas be had the year round il
a hotbed is constructed and properly
cared for. Such a bed may not be an
expensive one of brick or stone, COW
cred with glass, unless the owner so de-
sires. Oiled canvas stretched over a
frame will answer the purpose nearly
as well as glass and will be far cheaper.
Ii should be made a few days before
needed, so that the oil can penetrate
through and through the cloth. Lin
seed oil is best. and may be applied by
means of a common paint brush.
For the hotbed make a bed of COM
mon barnyard manure, being sure there
is no COW dung in it. Turn this over
and over two or three times at inter-
walls of four or five days. Allow the
manure to ferment until smoking hot.
When the manure is thoroughly heated

KEEPING ROADS GOOD.
The Time to Repair a Highway Is When
1t Needs 1t.


1t Needs 1t.
Most everyone has heard of the man
who gave it out that he always took
a bath every year whether he needed
it or not. A great many roads are
worked" on the same principle. Once
a year they are given what is known
as fixing up" and the rest of the time
they must shift for themselves. AS a
consequence they shift" from one side
to the other, just as the lay Of the land
and the lack of proper drainage may
demand.
And, be il remembered, there is some
times a piece of road that nature has
kindly cared for-which really does not
require fixing. Often this is plowed up,
along with defective sections, and is
made soft and susceptible to ruts and
wasbouts. 1t is also then in a good
condition to produce the largest guam
tity of dust.
A good road should never be thus
repaired" A defective road should
be repaired at any and all times. 1t
is cheaper, and certainly much better.
Europe's good roads are the result of
proper building and constant care. They
do not have to be repaired.
The one great lesson the people of
our land must learn is, that the time
10 repair a road is when il needs it.
These once-a-year reformations are too
few and far between. Fix the roads
now.-Good Roads.

Then there are other card parties in
which gentlemen alone participate, and
sometimes large sums of money change
hands. 1t is proper to say, however.
that gambling for money is growing
less and less among gentlemen every
year. In my brief experience in the ma
tional capital it has been pleasure to
notice the fact that gentlemen are doing
less gambling. and that the habit is be-
coming reprehensible. Forty or fifty
years ago drinking was not regarded
as a grave fault, but the temperance
spirit has grown during that time so
that drinking is now regarded as a
vice. Healthy public sentiment is thus
driving out Tie evil spirit of gambling
