But silly vasary

She wisely protested enc day,
And they asked her just what they should

The question was vast,
But she answered, at last:
'Tf you can't call me Mary say May"
So May" 1t was destined to be,
And everyone fancied that she
Spelled it May" with ~"
But-now, who can tell why?-
She spelled it-alas!-with an "e."
Still the girl herself wasn't to blame,
And she had respectable name.
To good taste it's contrary
To make Mae" out of Mary"
But even that's better than Name"

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Variation in the food often stfmu.
lates a sluggish appetite.
Early maturity is impossible with
animals that are stunted while young.
Growing good crops affords a better
opportunity for making more manure.
One advantage in feeding oil meal is
that it aids both digestion and assimi.
lation.
AS machine for converting farm
products into meat the hog stands at
the head of all farm animals.
One place manure can always be
used to an advantage in winter and
that is in top dressing the wheat.
Growing pigs need not only richer
ration but larger one in winter than
in summer. Remember this in feeding.
Sheep cannot be kept IN large focks
and limited quarters without breeding
disease, as foul air and dampness are
enemies of health. Farmers' Union. \

Greenport, N. Y, March 31.-The
little schooner Charlie Hastings, which
sailed from Newtown Creek, L. l., on
Wednesday last for Orient, heading
down Long Island sound, should have
reached the latter port on Friday, but
nothing has been heard of her since
she sailed, and it is feared she found
cred in the heavy gale of Thursday
and that all on board were lost. 1t is
the general belief here among sea
captains that the schooner has gone
down.

AWFUL STORY OF Tt,e SEA.
Sixteen More Survivors of the st. Nazaire
Reach Fort.

Greenock, March 29.-Tne report
that the steamer Yanariva, a British
tramp vessel from Newport News,
Va, for Glasgow, had picked mp
some of the survivors of the foundered
French steamer St Nazaire turns out
to be correct The Yanariva arrived
here last evening and reported that
she had rescued sixteen of those who
had been on the Inflated steamer and
who had taken to a small boat just
before the ST. Nazaire went down off
Cape Hatteras during a heavy gale.
The lookout on the Yanariva sighted a
small boat some distance from her dis
playing a signal of distress. She bore
down to the boat and soon had the
survivors on board, where everything
possible was done for their comfort.
As soon as the rescued people were
able to give the details of the disaster
that had befallen the st. Nazaire they
told a story that agreed in all its ma
terial details with the report of the
laundering of the steamer eabed here
from the United States The boat
which the Yanariva picked up had
contained twenty-nine persons, but
when the steamer sighted it there
were only sixteen alive in it, the
others having died from the effects of
exposure and hunger The survivors
were exhausted when they were res
cued, and if the Yanariva had not seen
the boat they would all have been
dead in a short time. The Nanariva
saw nothing of the other boats which
left the St. Nazaire.
Went Mad and Jumped into she sea.
In an interview with one of the Off
GERS he described the capsizing or
smashing of the boats when they were
attempting to leave the st. Nazaire.
When the boat in which the survivors
Were found was launched Second Cap
tain Nicolai took command of her. The
weather was extremely rough. and con-
tinued so for several days A sail was
rugged and Capt. Nicola managed to
keep her running dead before the
wind. This, though a dangerous
manoeuvre. was the only thing posi-
bic to DO under the circumstances, as
to have kept the boat on any other
point OF sailing would have resulted in
her being swamped As it was the
combing seas followed close upon the
stern OF the boat and every moment
threatened TO break aboard and ill
her. The water constantly poured
over the gunwales. and every soul in
the boat was drenched to the skin.
The water was hailed out with caps,
and this exercise undoubtedly saved
the lives OF some of the hapless men.
for otherwise they might have frozen
to death. The salt encrusted on their
faces and hands caused much pain.
The suddenness with which it was
necessary TO abandon the St Nazaire
prevented any attempt being made to
put a supply OF water in the boat
Some of the men withstood the tor
lures of thirst as long as it was posi-
BILE for human nature to do So Then,
maddenedkby the torture to which they
were subjected, they drank sea water.
Their agony was then worse than ever,
and in a short time they went mad
and jumped TITO the sea. The strong

the sea water into their mouths, and
prevented by force some of the others
from doing SO.

,Tis BETTER to Langh.

The sunniest skies are the fairest,
The happiest hours are best:
OF all of life's blessings the rarest
Are fullest of pleasure and rest,
Though Fate is our purpose denying,
Let each bear his part like man.
Nor darken the world with his signing
IT'S better to laugh If we can.
Each heart has its burden of sorrow,
Each soul has it's shadows of doubt;
'Tis sunshine we're yearning to borrow
From those who may gather about
Then let us wear faces of pleasure
The world will be happy to scan.
And add to the joys we may treasure

The Pleasures Of Hone.

II everybody had their wishes,
o ye gods and little fishes
What a most peculiar place this poor old
earth would be!
No one then would have to labor;
He could wish that on his neighbor,
And his neighbor could put 1t on some
ether fellow see?
Yet pursuing, not possessing
Some have deemed the richer blessing;
In the hoping. not in having. does our
happiness survive.
Could we will things, we'd regret it.
For TO wish and not quite get it
Is the tantalizing dream that serves II
