THE TWINS.

Idontseewhy and IthinkImight
Are twins of equal size;
And their chief delight is sitting on
The lids of Robbie's eyes
When things go wrong, as they often do,
To boy of Robbie's height.
But the twins sleep sound in the Land of
Como
When all goes smooth and right,
For smiles give chills and dimples pain,
Rob's laughter pricks like pins;
And shouts of glee are misery
To these peculiar twins.
30 they lie asleep till morning comes,
When Rob, with sleepy frown,
Gets out the wrong side of the bed
And comes meandering down.
But the twins are first in the breakfast
room,
And when they see the boy
They climb the lids of two brown eyes
And dangle their feet in Joy
At scowl they kick, at a whimper, grin.
A sulk is greatest glce;
And they dance and prance at such a pace
That Rob can hardly see.
81 don't see why" he whines aloud,
Rut mother does not know
That tricksy twin, with nmble legs,
Is telling Robbie so.
81 think l might" he whines again,
And father with surprise,
Looks at his son. but cannot see
That twin in the brown eyes.
All! what boy has not seen the twins.
This most peculiar pair,
1dontseewhy, and IthinkImight?
They're dancing everywhere;
Ready to visit those who scowl
And fret in the early morn;
But when boys laugh, these tricksy twins
Flee fast to the Land of Gone

Arbitration Short Cut to Justice.

The traveller on the Riviera who ram
bles over the picturesque promontory
of Monaco-that puny principality Of
less than six square miles, with mill
tary band of $50 musicians and stand
ing army of 30 men-is struck with the
ludicrousness of finding on its ram
parts lot OF Spanish cannon of past
age, bearing the inscription: Ultima
ratio regum"-The last argument of
Kings. To man of reflection the senti-
ment seems as antiquated as the brass
on which it is engraved. Not that war
is a practical impossibility; even as we
write the world seems to be torn anew
with wars or rumors of wars. The i'm
possibility lies rather in the revolt of
the mind against the retrogression in
civilization which is implied by war,
when there is at hand so potent, so
tried, and so honorable substitute as
arbitration. With this short cut to
Justice in mind, it is inconceivable to a
civilized man that the laborious
achievements of generations of peace
should be given to the torch in one
mad hour through the revival of the
barbarous instincts of fighting. Cen

A WORD ABOUT RoosTs.
Some Think They Should BE Round, others
Favor the Half-Round.


Roosts in shape should be round or
half round. 1t is question which of
these two forms is best. We have al
ways supposed that the all-round roost
was the kind meant by nature, as the
feet of all roosting birds are so con-
structed that they naturally grasp
round object. An Australian poultry
keeper, however, believes that roost
fattened on the under side is preferred
by the birds. He put both kinds in
his hen house and the fowls left the
round ones for the ones that had been
partly fattened. He believes that the
toes of the birds can grasp the latter
kind of roost much better than the all
round ones.
AS to the size of roosts, that must de-
pend somewhat on the age and size OF
the bird. Most of our poultry houses
have roosts of one size, and the fowls are
expected to like them, whether they
fit or not. A chick that weighs one
pound must certainly find some discom-
fort in clinging to IL roost made for
rooster weighing eight pounds. The
roosts of our poultry dealers vary in di-
nmeter all the way from one to three
inches. What is the best size? Prob
ably it would be better to have different
sized roosts in every pen and let the
birds choose for Observation-Disclosures
Review.

Hawk Caught by a Fish.

The fish hawk will catch and carry
OFF four-pound fish without any great
difficulty, and nothing less than a
charge of shot will make him let go.
But the fish hawk sometimes gets
caught himself. An old coastman re-
lates that he once saw big hawk, with
a four-foot spread of wings, that was
sailing along Monmouth beach. Sud-
denly he made a dive and fixed his claws
in fish's back. 1t was a 3O-pound
striped bass, and much heavier than
the hawk could carry away. Then he
would have let go, but he could not free
'his claws, nor could the fish break away.
SO they struggled in the water until
both were dead.

Tho System by which Delegates Arc
Elected Fully Explained.
The approach of the great national
conventions, which will name the sever
al candidates for the presidency, is
heralded by numerous lesser conven-
tions. The American convention sys-
TEN is always bewildering to foreign
ers; indeed, there are many Americans
who have never mastered the details of
the machinery by which nominations
are made.
OF the several steps leading to the
nomination of a presidential candidate,
the primary election is the first. In
towns and cities it is caucus, or as
sembly of the voters of one party, all of
whom in theory have the right to at
tend and vote. In some states the caucus
is regulated by state laws; in others it
Is left to party usage and precedents.
In general, it is understood that those
only who expect to support the party's
candidates can honorably take part in
the proceedings, and sometimes those
only whose names are enrolled on q
carefully kept list of recognized MEM
bers of the party are allowed to vote.
In some parts of the country, par
ticularly the sparsely settled regions,
instead of the caucus there is regular
election, with ballot-boxes and inspec-
tors in each precinct, conducted, how
