Iu many Of the State Universities there
are short courses in agriculture which
young men may take cheaply and be
great gamers thereby. A scien tifc
knowledge Of farming will help to pro-

GARNER THE BEAUTIFUL.
IOWA

Garner the beautiful as you go;
Wait not for time of leisure
The hours of toll may be long and slow,
And the moments few Of pleasure.
But beauty strays by the common ways,
And calls to the dullest being:
Then let not thine ear be deaf to hear,
Or thine eye be slow In seeing.
Kind nature calls from her varied halls:
II will give you balm for Sadness"
Let the sunsets gleam and the laugh Of the
Awaken thoughts of gladness
If bird should pour his song by thy door,
Let thy heart respond with singing;
The winds and the trees have harmonies
That may set thy joy-bells ringin.
Pause oft by flower in it's leafy bower,
And feast thine eve on its beauty;
A queen hath bliss no rarer than this,
IT'S thy privilege and duty.
And oh, when the shout Of child rings
out,
And its face is bright with gladness,
Let it kindle the shine of joy in thine,
And Danish care and sadness!
Then gather the beautiful by your way,
1t was made for the souls adorning;
'Tis a darksome path which no radiance
hath,
At noon, at eve, in the morning.
Hard is the soil where we delve and tod:
In the homely field Of duty;
But the hand of our king to us doth fling
The shining flowers of beauty.

mo one better try it," answered
grandpa. "Once a boy tried TO steal two
kilograms, but the parrot pounced upon
him and gave him such pecking and
mauling that he was glad to drop them.
But of course the parrot has partner.
Don't you see him?"
| In the rear of the booth there was q
lad of about Harry's age. He had moth
ing to do, however, but watch the papers
and the box, and to come forward and
make change now and then.
Grandpa gave Frolic some pennies.
and pointed to the two piles Of papers,
to show that he wanted one of each.
Frolic knew how to buy things. Be
side he had been observing the scene
closely. He flew from Harry's shoul-
der to the stand and in his blue cloak
and cap, and hoped along on one leg,
holding the money tightly clasped in
his other claw.
The parrot newsdealer was very
much surprised to see his queer GUS
toner, and was on the point Of driving
him off. But when he saw the other
parrot gravely drop the pennies into
the box, just as all his patrons did, he
smoothed down his feathers again and
said "Thankee," as usual, while Frolic
dragged away a paper from each pile
in his beak.
Harry and Frolic were talking now
with the boy, who told them the birds
name was Ned, and Frolic thought he
would be friendly, too. "How do you
do" he called out politely. The other
bird looked him over sharply and then
croaked out: mo time to chat! You
clear out! Paper, sir? Extra SUM-
telegram"
Presently, messenger boy stopped
to watch the droll newsdealer. Ned's
bright eyes always saw whatever was
going on. AS soon as he caught sight
of the boys uniform, he screamed:
"Hie, Buttons, hurry along! No idling
here!"
"Oh, pleased" put in Frolic.
Ned cooked his eye at him. "You
clear out!" he croaked. Then, turning
to the messenger boy again, he re-
marked: Come, hurry along! Hurry
along!" till the little fellow had to co.

CROWDED JAVA.
Twenty-Four Million People on an
Island the Size of New York State.

Twenty-FOur Million People on nm
Island the Size of New York State.
Every few miles there were open red
tiled pavilions built over the highways
as refugees for man and beast from the
scorching sun Of one season and the
cloud-burst showers of the rainy half
of the year. Twice we found busy pass
ers going on in groves beside these rest
houses - picturesque gatherings of
men, women and children, and displays
of fowls, fruits, nuts, vegetables, grain,
sugar, spices, gums and flowers, that
tempted one to linger and enjoy, and to
photograph every foot of the passer's
area. The main road was crowded all
the way like a city street, and around
these passers the highway hummed
with voices.
One can believe in the density of the
population-24,o 100000 people on this
island of 40, 1877 square miles, about the
size of the state of New York-when he
sees the people trooping along these
country roads; and he can well under
stand why every foot of land is culti-
waited, how even in the benevolent land
of the banana every one must produce
something; must work or starve. Men
and boys toiled to the passer, bent over
with the weight of one or two mon
strous jackfruits or durians on their
backs: A woman with baby swinging
in the slandang over her shoulder had
tied cackling chickens to the back of
her belt, and trudged on comfortably
under her umbrella; and a boy slung a
brace of ducks from each end of a shoul-
der-pole, and trotted gayly to the
passer.
The kampongs, or villages, when not
hidden in palm and plantain groves be-
hind fancy bamboo fences, were rows
of open houses on each side of the high
way, and we reviewed nature life at
leisure while the ponies were changed.
The friendly, gentle little brown peo-
pie welcomed us with amused and em-
barrassed smiles when our curiosity as
to sarong-painting, lacquering and
mat-weaving carried us into the family
circle. The dark, round-eyed, star
eyed babies and children showed no
fear or shyness, and the tiniest ones
their soft little warm brown bodies
bare of ever garment save the cotton
slandang in which they cuddle so con-
fdingly under the mothers protecting
arm-let us lift and carry and play
with them at will.-Eliza Ruhama Scid-

In England, as elsewhere in the
world, good-behayior convicts and
those whose terms are soon to expire
are put at work that is lighter, clean
er and generally more pleasant than
that which the less favored unfortu-
mates have to do. Moving hay with the
old-fashioned scythe is one of the
choice occupations in the early spmmer
with those of England's wards who are
deemed available material for extra
consideration. Still moving with a
scythe is not at all easy work, and

BIRDS BUILD HOUSES.
And Then They Decorate Them I'm a
Really Artistic Manner.

Really Artistic Manner.
There has just been discovered by n
government ornithologist tribe of
birds in the island of New Guinea which
show themselves excellent architects
by building each for himself little
house on the ground.
OF course, the house that the bird
builds is not an elaborate pile Of brown
stone or even bricks. 1t is made merely
of twigs and pebbles, kept together by
the Intervening of the tall, dried grass
peculiar to the wild fields of New
Guinea. But 1t answers It's purpose
just as well in keeping off the rain and
sun, and no wind can knock down the
house, owing to the ingenious manner
in which the bird selects site.
The birds have received the temporary
name of garden birds, owing to the
fact that they fence in little plot
around their houses, for no other APP
parent reason than to let other birds
know that the inclosed plot is private
property.
When the male garden bird takes a
mate he selects some level spot in the
fields where he finds tree not more
than two inches in thickness at the
base. With this tree as a center post
the bird builds his house of twigs,
leaves, pebbles and grass, and when
finished it is a cunningly wrought man
sion, shaped like bell, and with two
stories. In the upper story several
small openings are left to act as win
dows, and the ground floor has one large
opening which serves for entrance as
well as to let in the light.
When the house is finished the bird
erects a circular fence, two inches in
height, around the house, and thus in.
closes plot three feet distant from II
at every point.
The interor of each house Is dec
Grated with fresh leaves, the wings OF
beautiful insects, pretty feathers which
other birds may have shed, gayly-col-
cred berries, and even the bleached
skulls of birds that have died in the
fields long before.
The gardens of the birds are strewn
with wild blossoms, and when these
wither they are carefully replaced

Rencued by His Slater.

New Jersey boasts of ten-year-old
girl who is both brave and quick-wittcd.
She lives on farm, and while she was
playing with her little brother, aged
four, the latter fell down the we'll.
Waiting but an instant to call her
mother, the girl seized the rope that is
used to pull up the pail, and jumped
down. When she struck the water, 20
feet below, she caught her brother by
the hair and hoistcd him into the buck
ct. Then she held on to the rope while
her mother turned the windlass, soon
bringing the two children to the sur
