Work Appreciated.

In his younger days the late Mr.. W.
II. Smith was usually present to see
the morning papers dispatched, and
one morning something at one Of the
Offices had gone wrong, so that there
was great risk Of that paper missing
the trains. Mr. Smith, recognizing the
difficulty, threw of bis coat, worked
away as hard as any Of MS subOrdiuates
and had the satisfaction Of seeing the
vans leave with just tine 10 catch the
trains.
He was afterward leaning over one
ofthe tables reading q paper, still in
his SHIFT sleeves, when one of the men,
mistaking him for a mate, gave him a
resounding smack on his broad back,
exclaiming.
"Well, Jack, old man, we got that
lot away smartly." When "W. H."
raised himself, the man rushed away,
terrified by his blunder.
On coming on duty at night the man
received note addressed to him, which
he concluded contained the sack" but
to his surprise it was to inform him
that from the end Of that week he
would be a foreman. "W. H. had
sense enough 20 see that man who
was 50 delighted at having accomplish
ed a difficult task for his employers

The Musical Cowbsn.

Oho of the comparatively few things
chat the hand of improvement has not
touched is the eowbell, which is made
now just as it was fifty, ahundred, and
more years ago, and has now just the
same peculiar, clanking sound as ever.
COwbells are made, some Of copper and
some OF composition metal; bat most
IF them are made Of iron and finished
with coating Of bronze.
The cowbell IS not east; it is cut from.
sheet of metal which is folded into
shape and riveted. The metal loop at
she top, through which the strap is
passed, is riveted into the bell. Cow
oeIls are made often sizes, whose sounds
range through an octave. Sometimes
musical entertainers vino play upon
bells Of one sort and another come to the
naRufaeturer, aud by selection among
bells Of the various sizes find eigh. bells
that are accurate in scale.
There are only four factories in the
United States in which c0wbells are
made, and in each else the cowbell Is
only an item OF production among
many things. Cowbells are sold all
,ver the c1uatry, just the same as ever,
oIt much the greater number are sold
IN the South, Southwest and the West,
where farms are larger, less likely to be
under feEee, and cattle are more likely
10 stray.
There are sold in those parts of the
country hundred dozen cowbells to
every ten dozen sold in the East.
American eowbells are exported to the
vaEious countries of South America and
to Australia.-New York san.

President Adams Trees.

Thousands of Americans travel fer to
visit the White House and walk
through its grounds, yet few Of them
know the most interesting fact connect
with the place, that is, that John Quin-
cy Adams, when he was President,
planted most of its fine trees. Presi-
dent Adams was full of energy; for
months he made practice of swim
ming across the Potomac every day;
then he took to walking around the
Capitol square for an hour every morn
ing; then he found the best exercise of
all in attending to the planting of the
White House grounds with trees; they
were very bare in this respect, and he
went into the whole science and art of
plantation with an enthusiasm very
like Sir Walter Scott's on the same
subject. He was thea IS years old, but
he wrote about the growth of his oaks
and chestnu.s as eagerly as a school
boy would about hunting.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by lvcal applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbliug sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tire,y closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine eases out Of ten
are caused by eatarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (eaused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Bad for the Boys.

The young hopeful had bsen silent
aud thoughtful for some time, and it
was evident that there was some deep
problem that was troubling him.
Papa he said at last, @ain't il true
that boys have al the worst Of it?n
"Why, no, my boy, don't think
they do, replied the father.
"well, do" asserted the boy.
"Every girl know says she wishes she
WAS boy, but I'll bet she wouldn't il
she knew more about it. Why, things
are arranged lots better for them than
for boys
'Oh, 1 guess not, Willie" returned
the indulgent father, putting aside his
paper and preparing to argue it out
with the youngster ~ should say it
was about an even thing. As boy
you have some privileges that your
sisters do not, and they have some that
you do not. You have more freedom
than they, even now"
"And / get licked harder" returned
the boy.
"If you deserve it," returned the
father.
"And when anything happens
mamma always believes the story that
the girls tell instead Of mine, " persisted
the boy.
THAT may be 81, returned the Elther
thoughtfully. after woman nar-ies
she seems to sort of naturally learn TO
doubt the masculine sex. sin, you
must remember, Willie, that in the
way Of play and general behavior you
have all sorts of privileges that your
sisters do not, and these will become
greater as you grow up. That counts
for a great deal, too"
"But / have to wear Brother Johns
made over pants" continued the boy.
"And your little sister has to wear
her older sisters mAde-over dresses" ="
Nov, I've got you, sure" cried the
boy. "When / was a baby had to
wear made-over dresses, too, but there
never was a time that she had to wear
made-over pants. No Stree. 1t amt
an even thing at all. Boys have all
the worst of it,"
While he was thus soliloqIizing his
father made his escape without en-
deavoring to argue his last proposition.

THE LAND OF EVERMORR.


Tell me, oh ye surging billows,
Sweeping on from shore TO shore.
Have We found that land Of rapture,
Called the land Of evermore3
Have ye found that hallowed region,
Named By angels-everinOre2
Tell me, oh We winds OF Heaven,
Kneeling here do implore,
Have ye ever in your wanderings
Found the land OF eyeTmore9
Have ye found that happy region,
Called by mortals-evermore9
Tel me, oh We men OF learning,
Filled with deep and ancient lore,
Have you ever in your travels
Found the land OF evermoref
Have We ever felt the sweetness
or the land of-evermOne?
But, alas, got no answer,
And my fate do deplore;
Lives there, then. no sage or power
From the land of evermores
From that glorious golden region,
Called by Poets-evermore?
But within ny souls deep storehouse,
Which at last do explore,
There find the promise written,
or the land Of eyermOre;
OF that bright and glorious region,
Called by angels-evermore.
And my life is filed with sunshine,
Sadness fills me now no more;
For I know the shining pathway
To the land OF evermore,
To the royal, restful region
BY my soul called-evermOre.

he was helping him to face the results,
but leaving him free TO choose for him
self His father would never tell, but
he would think oi him as coward,
and Jimmy couldn't stand that.
1t did not take many seconds for him
TO think all this, and during that time
they Were trying to decide who could
go over to stay with Aunt Carry. Ev-
eryone was busy, and the call was very
ineonvenient- On the other hand, the
boys were all trying for prizes at school,
and every recitation lost, every absence,
counted. Jim was ahead in his class,
Charlie in his; it was a sharp struggle,
but his fathers voice had hardly died
away, when Jim cleared his throat.
"Well, 1 guess 1 can fix it, Aunt Mol
ly,n he said, "Fll go over and stay with
Aunt Carry"
'Youl Why you'll lose your prize,
Jim. Charlie had better stay at home
if anyone does; it's his MOTHER
"I know it, but" and Jim stood up
to tell the dreadful truth:
"You see, Aunt Molly, was the bur-
glar."
There was a dead silence; everyone
looked at Jim. He needed help, but he
got it by hearing his fathers sigh of
relief.
Yes he went on, 81 wanted to see
what Uncle Charles really would do if
thief tried to get into the house, and
l never thought about its soaring the
rest Of them-so 1 think l ought to go
over ard explain to Aun. Garry, and
stay with her."
When Uncle Charley had heard the
whole story, he merely said:
"Well, Pm glad was not at home;
for if had been, might have shot
that boy"
And so he might.

The Yellowleg and the Hens.

Last August, ON the shore of Silver
Lake, Manitoba, saw by the margin
great numbers of snipe, tattlers, and
other wading birds. AS l drew near
they arose in fiocks and flew away; but
as / was gazing after noisy array of
yellowlegs, my eyes fell on a single one
that stood in the grass not more than
10 feet from where was. 1t was look
ing at me fearlessly, and seemed to
have so little idea of flying away that
1 got out my sketch book and made
sketch of it.
AS it still stood looking at me, first
with one eye then with the other, l
stepped up quietly, took it gently in my
hand, and put it into my game bag in
tending to make more finished draw
ing at home.
When l reached the house, 1 set the
bird on the floor; it ran about, whist
ling at times, did not seem much alarm
ed, but refused all food. So the next
morning 1 put it into the yard, that it
might feed itself after its own fashion.
There We're a good many hens about,
and as soon as they saw the stranger
they were all excited. They gathered
together, and with loud cackIes came
on, with upraised feathers, 70 attack
the newcomer.
The yellowleg was swift Of foot, and
eluded them once or twice, but the hem
mob, noisier than ever, at length sue
ceeded in surrounding him, and all
closed in together with the evident in
tention of pecking him to pieces; but the
yellowleg, giving one glance, 1 thought,
of scorn at the clumsy, caekling cow
ards, spread out his great, glorious
wings for the first time since l had seen
him, and pouring out his loud thrilling
whistle, so well known on the breezy
sandbars, he-sailed away and away in
great, overwhelming circles, till bird
and chant were lost in the far heights
of the sky, and the hens were left to feel
as foolish and mean as it was possible
for hens to feel.
was much puzzled by the whole in
eident, and can only suppose that the
bird had, in the first instance, been
slightly stunned by a stray shot from
some sportsman; while it was reyiving
in the grass discovered it, the gentle
ness of my approach gave it no alarm,
and during the night it fully recovered
its faculties and its power of flight

According to the Government report,
the average yield of corn over the whole
country is 2S.7 bushels per acre. In 1896
the average was 2T.S bushels, and in
1895 it was 25.2 bushels. Hay averaged
II tons. against an average Of I.21 for
the last Is years. Such averages are
very low, rs il has not been unusual TO
secure over 100 bushels Of corn per acre,
and four tons of clover on some plots.
IL is possible to largely increase this av-
erage, and, as the average for wheat is
about IS bushels per acre, our enormous
wheat crops could be doubled without
eultivating more land for that purpose,
and, as large yields can be had at less
cost than small averages, the profit from
the wheat and corn crops could be more
than doubled.

About $50 eggs per year is estimated
as the production of hen, if the flock
is small and well cared for, but with
large focks an average cf 100 eggs pc
hen for one year is correct, as dis ,ase

The fowls on farms give larger profits
in proportion to capital represented
