The DnmodiI.

It is now many centuries since, ao- cording to Ovid, the young man Narcis- sus was changed into daffodil because of his pining away from seeing his love- ly shadow in the water. But it can hardly be from sympathy with the un- fortunate youth that the flower has con- tinued to be so popular during all these long ages. Certain it is that it has aa high value today in the gardens of persons of taste as in the flower plot of the humblest cottager. No garden Is considered to be quite complete without it's little patch of daffodils.
 Of late years florists have given at- tention to raising varieties from them, and the record of their many forms is 6 feature of the catalogue of all seedsmen. Double ones formerly carried off the palm for popularity, but in recent times the single variety is regarded as quits as desirable. .-Meehan' Monthly.

ASHFORD.

Robert Knowlton, one of the largest farmers in the town of Ashford, bought a COW few weeks ago.. She was to all appearances perfectly healthy ,as the price $38, would indicate. A few days ago she sickened and gave every appearance of having lung fever. The treatment given her was for that disease, but without avail. The COW died yesterday. The symptoms ofthe cows sickness and death were somewhat puzzIing to MT. Knowlton, and he decided to perform an autopsy in which he made the remarkable discovery that piece of wire, used in baling hay nearly a foot long, was wound in and about the heart.

Senator and Soldiers.

The days when senators and represent atives in congress were expected to frank letters for private soldiers, re- counted by MT. J. A. Watrous of Chicago in some army "reminiscences, were dan gerous ones for congressional visits to the military camps.
 MT. Watrous says that Senator Timo- thy O. Howe of Wisconsin once visited the headquarters of his friend, General Rufus King, and was at the first oppor- tuunity besieged by the soldiers with packages of envelopes to be franked.
 Senator Howe was one of the most good natured of men, and immediately sat down in the tent of one of the cap tains and began to frank envelopes by the hundred.
 General King had made special prep arations for dinner in honor of his guest It was to eclipse all the camp dinners that had been given for long time. Senator Howe had been franking envelopes about half an hour when the call came for dinner. He went on writ ing, and General King came to get him.
 "Go on, King; I'll be there directly, !" said the senator.
 Dinner was served. The guests had arrived. No one ate, but after awhile the colored cook was sent to tell the sen- ator that the meal was getting cold.
 "Oh, tell them to go ahead, said the senator, still writing madly on sol diers' envelopes. "I'll be with them as soon as can.''
 He finished the pile and rose to go, but just then two more soldiers came in with fresh parcels, and he seated him. self again. After he had signed them all he joined the impatient company at cold dinner.
 'I'm sorry" he said, "but it made the boys happy. They will make their friends happy with all the letters they will send in those franked envelopes, and it made me happy to do it." l
