Up to the start for West Point, Grant

the cover in big brass tacks the initials

he said. ut spells hug The boys

thereupon shifted his middle name and

He registered at Roe's hotel, West

Grant, and the same day reported to
the adjutant, George G. Waggaman,

DEEDS NOT WORDS.
wesraS could satisfy the heart

n w&ndv could satisfy the heart
The heart might find less care,
Bus words, like summer birds, depart
And leave but empty air.
The heart, pilgrim upon earth,
Finds often, when it needs,
That words are as little worth
As just so many weeds.
A little said-and truly said
Gan deeper Joy impart
Than hosts of words, which reach the head,
But never touch the heart.
The voice that wins it's sunny way,
A lonely home to cheer,
Hath oft the fewest words to say;
But, oh, those few-how .ari
If words could satisfy the breast,
The world might hold feast,
But words, when summoned to the test,
Oft satisfy the least.
Like plants that make gaudy show,
Ali blossom to the root,
But whose poor nature cannot grow
One particle of fruit.

Now York Chinese ouarters.

There is one feature of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinaman, and that is the concert
garden. To congregate in a public place
to drink intoxicating beverages, listen
to sensuous music and watch vulgar
displays Of the human figure, to be
waited upon by young women of more
than questionable character, to take
part in profane and obscene talk, all
this is beneath the dignity of a China
man, and nowhere in the Chinese quar-
ter, from beginning to end, can such
place be found. But they are found on
the Bowery, and Germans, Irishmen,
Italians and Jews fill the places to the
doors. Helen F. CLARK in Century.

When to Prune.

The rule generally given is that it is
safe to prune during the time the leaves
are off, ''any time during the autumn,
winter and before the sap begins to flow
in the spring" Professor Slayton of the
Michigan station does not think so, as
experiments he has made proved that
pruning during the winter months was
injurious, at least to apples and pears.
The work is best done, he thinks, in
October. The movement of the sap then,
slight though it is, fills the pores of the
wood at the surface of the cut and pre-
vents evaporation from freezing and
from bleeding when the flow begins in
the spring. All cut surfaces of any size
should be left for day or two to dry
and then be covered with liquid graft
ing wax or be painted.

A Leper Hospital.

Outside the walls of Jerusalem is a
lepers' hospital tended by deaconesses
from the German religious houses. Year
after year these heroic women, without
pretentiousness, without any trumpet
ing of their work, almost unknown to
the world, have waited upon lepers,
they themselves literally dying by
inches. Their courage has only come to
light by the chance notice of travellers.

Natures Cold storage House.

In the valley of the Plethora river,
which flows from the Ural mountains
into the Arctic ocean near Nova Zem-
bla, there is state of things which is
attracting the attention of naturalists
and is only one more example of how
judiciously nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has a sturdy growth of
crow berries, cloudberries, cranberries,
any number of small fruit bearing
plants, with heath moss and ichens,
some of which bear seed and fruit in
great profusion. An eminent ornitholo-
gist, in the course of his researches in
this locality, stopped for little time.
There were millions of acres covered
with these growths. The arctic summer
has perpetual sun, and the indigenous
plants and trees grow and develop with
great rapidity. The summer comes sud-
denly, and with it innumerable birds
of all varieties, but they come to what
seems barren waste, for there is moth
ing visible but snow and ice. Within ID
hours, however, this frostbound region
changes its appearance. The snow dis
solves, the ice melts away, and natures
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants,
with their loads of fruit, keeping it in
the most perfect condition until the
springtime, when it furnishes food for
the millions of birds that make this
their summer home. New Y ork Ledger.

For heavy hangs its head;
The timid flowers are shrinking
From darkness in their bed.
The evening breezes hocking,
Like gentle angels blest,
Come softly, softly rocking
The corn and flowers to rest.
Just as the flowers are shrinking,
So timid, too, art thou,
And as the corn heads sinking,
So mods thy dear head now.
And sounds of evening winging,
Like gentle angels blest,
Come round thy cradle, singing
My darling one to rest.

Crimson Glover In New Hampshire.

The following is from New Hamp-

From Delaware southwark crimson
clover is planted in late summer, grows
vigorously in the fall, keeps green all
winter, again grows in early spring,
seeds and dies down by May. New
Hampshire winters are too severe for it,
however, and here it should probably be
sowed in early spring. The seed weighs
go pounds per bushel, and 10 to 10
pounds are required to seed one acre. 1t
costs 81 per bushel this year. 1t is much
used for green manuring, especially in
orchards, and makes fine fall, winter
and early spring pasture.
1t is claimed that there are five types
of crimson clover, only one of which is
hardy. Hence seed should be purchased
of reliable seedsmen and on positive
guarantee.
