THE SWEETEST OF MEM
ORY'S BELLS.

Wild is the way through the woodlan', hut there
are the sweetest fields of clover,
The sghng, sad pines and the jessani'ne vines, an
the rill that leaps laughingly over
The lilies that rim 1.-THE shadows that DIM it
and there winding wnsomely sweet
Is the path :hat still leaps to tie old hom. through
rivery ripples of wheat!
And hark! It's the stns of the reaper, and KIN W
by its iubilant ringing
There is gold in the g'eam of the harvest an We
in the hearts that singing!
And still OF old to the ether its music mel!iiuo'
swellS,
And the wind that signs westward is >waying the
sweetest Of memorys bells
Let me pa s through the wheat and the cover, o
men and rose maidens who reap!
/, who come from the sound of the cities. | k, Il
child to its moth7r would creep,
For through long years of tears and of to ling, lk
harbor bells over the foam,
Your voices far winging and ringing singing
me singing me home!
And here, from the pain and the leasure-trom the
sorrow and sighing flee
As the birds when the storm winds are blowing, as
the ships seek the haven from sea.
And | fancy the violets know me in glrdens of
beauty and bliss,
And do not the red roses owe me the pe C, of the
prodgal's kiss?
II is still bright at the portal There the
light all radiant shines
Heart, heart. there's face we remember in the
tangle and the bloom of the vines.
Far Off the glad reapers singing-fIr of in the
rivery wheat,
And the arms of mother are clnsilg ami the kiss
of mother is sweet.

course of three weeks during the sum-
mer of 1890; In Canada, when the
dam is sufficiently stout, the pool will
eventually silt up and form a ''beaver
meadow" but Mr. Collett does not re-
cord any of these "meadows" in Nor
way. During the cold winter months
the beavers, although not alternating
in the proper sense Of the term, pass
what appears a somewhat dull exis-
tence in the central chamber of tie
lodge, the roof of which for most of the
time is buried in snow. Sometimes,
however, when the weather is mild for
the season, and an unusually cold au-
tumn prevented the completion of an
nual repairs at the proper time, and
beavers will venture out from their
retirement for a short period in order
to remedy such delapidations as stand
in urgent need of immediate attention.
When they have been engaged on such
work their footprints are visible in the
snow. Immediately after the breaking
up of the ice in spring the animals is
sue forth to procure fresh supply of
food and resume their daily avocations.
The young beavers are born in
April or May, three being apparently
a common number in litter At first
their eyes are closed, but they grow
rapidly, and by September or October
are about the size of a cat. When able
to shi., for themselves they leave the
parental lodge, and frequently start
off to found family in some fresh 10
cality, although sometimes they set
of on their wan,lerings alone. Follow
ing the courses OF small streams, they
frequently tack straight across the
open mountain slopes for many miles,
so that one or more not unfrequently
make their appearance in valleys where
none have been known for years. They
will even occasionally cross small arms
of the sea and the perils of the jour
ney end in death to no considerable
number. Several old time supcrsti-
tions still cling around the beaver
One of the most persistent and most
incorrect is that the fiat scalItail is
employed rs trowe for plastering
down the mud during building opera
tions. Another is that the secretion
of the tail glands-the castorerun. OF
the old pharmacoppia-has the prop
erty of frightening away whales or
porpoises when approaching boat (!
Still more strange is the old idea that
some individuals were compelled to
lie on their backs and be ladened with
building materials, when they were
were dragged by their companions to

fable originated from the circumstance
that many individuals have the hair

Mother could not speak; she just raised
my arm, which had fallen over the
flowers,-I always called them Karl's

poor dropping bunch and the pin in
her hands. Karl to her was like an
own son. She did not try to comfort
us. She just sat still and looked at
the flowers. as if she was trying to
learn from them what it all meant.
Charlotte came and knelt down beside

PETTY ECONOMY.

1t requires an exceptionally wise, ju-
dicious person to know where to spend.
1t is frequently the way of thrift to
spend with lavish hand because the
return justifies the expenditure. The
womal who laboriously tlarns II ging-
ham apron when she can make 4 new
one in half the time and when the ma
terial costs less than 10 cents. is dc
cidedIy wasting her efforts or estimat
ing her time at the same standard as
the work of 4 Chinese coolie. The
mendcd apron will not wear one quar-
ter as long as new one, and it had
better be devoted to dustcloths or to
some of the purposes ofcleanng where
a soft, old rag is required. The pick
ing up Of pins is certainly a doubtful
economy No one can tell what inlec-
tion may be conveyed i'll a pin, which
is quite likely to be rusty. \ pin is
certainly worth less than the time talk
en to pick it up. When it is in the
honse or in place where it may become
small instrument of torture, it is wise
for humanity's sake to pick it up, but
not for the sake of its value.
Am st all of us have some pet econ
omy. Some people will hoard old
dresses of wool which they have no
time to clean, and which would not lie
fit for wear if they were cleaned. The
result Of this boarding is an interest
ing collection of moths, which invade
the house and destroy much furniture
and valuable clothing, together with
the worthless. 1t would be difficult,
however. to convince the person who
was devoted to such economy that it
was in fact an eXtravagant whim that
she was CRAFTY ing.
Tie boarding of newspapers may be
classed among the same cNtravagant
fanccs. The newspaper is 4 thing Of
an hour, and is succeed d in Il day y
another While there is frequently
valuable reading matter f,r Il scrap
book in them, the entire papers take up
too much room to be kept by the ordi-
nary reader for anything but waste
paper. They merely collect dust.
OF all absurd things that may be
boarded the saving of fruit and vege-
tlble cans, except to paint and use 70:
| tlower-pots, is the most absurd. An
o.d tin can is usually a menace to the
health. 1t is not fit to cook in, though
it is sometimes employed for that pur-
pose, nor is it fit to keep food in after
the inner surface is exposed to the air
1t is never fit to be used second time
for canning. After opening can its
contents should be poured out at once
int an earthen dish, and never left tc
stand in the opened can. 1t is a fco.
hardy practice to leave such tin cans
out Of doors, because they are liable tc
rust. and a cut from a rusty piece o
tin is the common cause Of that dread
ed disease, lochjaw. There is the same
danger in using unpainted tin cans fol
keeping plants. Their sharp rusty
edges may cut the hands when the can:
are moved. \ hundred such petty
economies are indnlged in by thought
less women, who imagine that thrift
can come from such foolish boarding

or later fall into the ditch.

EXPOSURE 10 DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
ton of disease provided the system is
in a vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs ill healthy at-
ton. When in such condition con-
tagion is readily resisted and the dis
ease germs can find no lodgment.
Hoods Sarsapalilla is the best medl-
cine to build up the system because it
makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood
is the basis of good health. In cold
weather it is especially necessary to
keep up the health tone because the
body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hoods
SarsapariIla is the safeguard of health.

Agricultural Finance.

British Columbia has adopted tba

tees the bonds OF these ASSOCIATIONS

granted by them is confined TO tho i'm

extend to its purchase. Funds are
obtained by the issue OF debenture

HORSES IN HISTORY.
la Few Of Those Tha Have Been nsAs
Famons.

A Few Of hose That Have Been Asss
Famons.
Readers OF Macaulay will remember
the famous black Auster. the horse OF
Herminius, and the dark gray charger
OF Mamiiius, whose sudden appearance
in the city of Tusculum without his
master brought the news OF the defeal
of the allies at Lake Regillus. Con-
nected with that battle, too, were q
horses Of the great twin brethren"
Castor and Pollux. coal black, win
white legs and tails. But those are
Legendary. Not so, however, the we'll
known horse Of Caligula, lncttatus.
This animal had a stable OF marble;
his stall was of ivory. his clothing 81
purple, and his halters stiff with gems.
He had a set of golden plates, and was
presented with q palace. furniture and
slaves complete, in order that guests
invited in his name should be proper
,,ly entertained. His diet was the most
costly that could be imagined, the
finest grapes that Asia could provide
being reserved for him.
Verus, another Roman emperor
about a century later, treated his horse
almost as ~extravagantly. He fed him
with raisins and almonds with his W
hands, and when he died, erected q
statue Of gold to him, while all the dig
nitaries OF the empire attended the fun
eral. AS we come to later times, SO
we get more examples of favorite hors-
es. William the Conqueror had n
that he rode at the battle Of Hastings,
about which almost everything seems
to be known except his name. He
was of huge size and was a present
from King Alfonso of Spain-"such a
gift as a prince might give and a prince
receive" This gallant horse, however,
did not survive the battle, for Gyrth,
Harold's butcher, "clove him with a
bill, and he died" Richard LIS horse
was called Maleck, and was jet black.
He bore his master through the holy
him; In fact, he survived the king
several years. The second Richard,
too, had a favorite horse, called Roam
Barbary, which was supposed to be
the finest horse in Europe at that time,
and ii was on Roam Barbary that the
young king was mounted when the In
cident wherein Wa Tyler was stabbed
by the mayor of Walworth took place.
About a century later We get to the
Wars of the Roses, and in the many
battles OF that civil disturbance two
horses played important parts. These
belonged to the great Earl of Warwick,
the kingmaker. His first was Maleck,
a beautiful gray. which he rode at the
battle of Towton. 1t was this horse
whose death turned the fortunes of the
battle, for Warwick. seeing that his
men were giving ground deliberately
sprung from his favorite horse and
killed him. Then his men knew that
the kingmaker was prepared to N
quer, but not to fly. They rallied and
finally won the battIe.-London STAN
