when BIind People See.

Blind peoples first experiences OF
sight are curious. An old man who was
born blind received his sight by the
removal of a cataract. When the band
age was first removed the patient start
ed violently, and cried out as if with
fear, and for awhile was quite nervous
from the effects of the shock. For the
first time in his life he looked upon
the earth. The first thing he noticed
was flock of sparrows. In relating his
experience he said that he thought they
were teacups. although few moments
aftefAard he readily distinguished
watch which was shown to him. 1t
is supposed that this recognition is
owing to the fact that he heard ticking.
The blaze from lamp excited the most
lively surprise in his mind. He had
no idea what it was. and when it was
brought near, wanted to pick it up

TO the barnyard also.
Feed but one kind of grain at time,
and cover up with light litter.
If living near a market, try turkeys.
Ducks are also profitable.
Both nesting and busting material
should be renewed at least monthly.
Keep fresh water continually before
the fowls, warmed a trifie on the colder
mornings.
Select the best layers for breeding
stock, keeping size and color of plumage
IS uniform as possible.
Keep grit of some kind accessible to
the poultry at all times. This is in
dispensable to their well-being.
Corn is probably the best cold-weath-
[ er food. Feed the Kitchen scraps in the
morning in a clean place.

We had a wagon and in the back of it

months on that trip, but it was good,
healthy exercise, AID l believe we en-

were anxieties. For example, when we

scatter out all over the country. Then
came lively work, but, fortunately. the
dog was as good as four men.

many days and less as it formerly took
months. Now. instead of personal So
licitation among the farmers, tele-
gram serves. Instead of driving the
sheep and having that healthy outdoor
exercise on horseback, the cattle come
in cars and are here shortly after being
ordered. Instead of saying to the farm
ers and others: How much will you
give for these sheep?' we say to the
great United States: You will give so
much to-day for sheep and no one can

as fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. But

And sool will start to blaze.

There is an old woman, pray. can you
guess who?
With such bad temper men name her
shrew.
She frets and she scolds, and she storms
and she shrieks,
And never old woman had so many freaks
She'll smile and caress you, perchance for
day,
Then, blow you up roundly-for that is her
way
And many good people had rather leave
Than stay when this surly old woman will
come!
Her children behold her with terror and
dread,
And hardly dare peep from their warm.
coy bed.
Though brave little Golden Locks, hardy
and bright,
Sometimes ventures out for taste of sun

Yet such rare housekeeper never was
known:
She sweeps the wide earth. every corner
and zone:
And this queer old woman. SO hated and
feared
Most beautiful children has nurtured and
reared
She carefully hides them away out of sight,
And keeps them by daytime, and guards
them by night;
She cradles them gently on earth's tender
breast,
And lulls them with breezes from south
and from west.
Until their sweet beauty is ripe for display
When two charming maidens. young April
and May.
Call out the dear children to play in the
sun,
And then claim the work the old woman

Poem by whittier.
The following verse by John G. Whit
tier was recently found. written in an au-
tograph album belonging to Mrs Sarah A
Barber, of Northwood, Mass. who has
just died:
May He who ever keeps
Watch over all, nor slumbereth, nor sleeps.
Be near thee still, with His supporting
hand,
Thy cool rock shadow in a weary land
So shalt thou in thy daily duties move
By the still waters of our Fathers love.
And the true peace which He alone can give
In the deep quiet of thy spirit live.
And when at last the summons shall be
given
Thine eyes shall open on the bliss of
Heaven,
And earthly pomp and earthly joys wax
dim
Before the white-robed saint and seraphim.
Eye hath not seen It, nor the living ear
Heard the glad music Of that gloriuos
sphere.
Nor mind of man in its EXTREMIST thought
One glimpse unclouded of its glory caught
The joys prepared, the infinite reward
OF those who love the appearing Of our
Lord.
