The Rhyme of the Musical street.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
1t is youthful, beardless man,
And he stoppeth one of three;
by the golf suit and cycle face,
Now wherefore stoppest me?
The youth, a-tremble holds the man;
Il live on Walnut street,
Where maidenS fair, with nut-broWn
hair,
On loud pianos beat
"They play all night, they play all day.
From this 1 seek released
may, tell me not your troubles, go
Tell them to the police"
But list, but list, he pleaded soft;
"Oh, list to me, kind sir"
And so the stranger listed then,
Like any listener.
across the way there's a trombone,
piccolo and flute,
A violin, piano too,
Likewise soulful lutte.
Next door to this assortment of
Orchestral Instruments
Another loud piano adds
Its saddening cadence.
I'm every house adown the street
Pianos rear their heads,
Yet three, in truth, are harmless quite,
For they are folding beds.
Tonight! tonight! my narrowed soul
a monstrous sorrow knows,
For all of these melodious maids
Are entertaining beaux.
"Its music here, it's music there,
It's music all about;
1t cracks and growls and roars and
In faith, tuneful rout
"And one is singing of the Banks
or the Wabash Far Away
While yet another racks the soul
OF Wagner with her lay.
"The stars and Stripes are floating
from
The center of the heap,
And the trombone is Rocking in
The Cradle of the Deep
1.-THE piccolo is playing and
The flute is Ginning in.
Above them all there shrieks and walls
The awful violin.
"Oh, sleep, it is a gentle thing,
Beloved from pole to pole,
And 1 retired at prompt eleven,
Yet still no gentle sleep from heaven
Has slid into my soul.
Farewell farewell, but this I tell
To thee my listening friend:
They'll play again tomorrow morn
Their playing has no end.
Wherefore this frame of mine is
wrenched
with a woful agony,
Which forced me to begin my tale,
But cannot set me free"
The youthful man. whose eye was dim,
Who pity did entreat
Was gone, and now the stranger man
Went boldly down the street.
He went-but like one that is stunned
And is of sense forlorn,
A sadder and awiser man
He rose the morrow morn

w. S. Gilbert does not retain all of his
humor for use in his librettos
, In the early days of his success, when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered by
managers as the ''sure winners" in the
comic opera field, a young woman who was
a member of one of the "Pinafore" COM
panies wrote to Gilbert telling him of her
approaching marriage with young man
of good position and family.
Gilbert congratulated the young woman
and expressed the hope that her future
might be prosperous and happy
only a little more than a month passed
and another letter from the same girl
reached him, in which she stated that her
engagement with the young man had been
broken and that she had accepted another
sutton.
He replied that he had every confidence
in her judgment, and again expressed his
hearty wishes for her welfare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received a third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that she
had accepted him, after breaking her en-
gagement with No. 2.
Clbert's humor could no longer with
stand the temptation, and he wrote: Il de-
sire TO congratulate you on your approach
ing marriage with Here he placed an as
terisk, and in a footnote added:
Here insert the name of the happy
man.

Another about Gilbert.

Gilbert, the hbrettist met Liebling, the
pianist, not long ago, and they say the
following interchange occurred between
them, says Lew Rosen, in the Washington
Post. Liebling, you must know, has an
inordlnate vanity, and Gilbert as you do
know, has a caustc wit. Liebling was in

There are now nearly ninety soldiers in

Courier, land Of this number it is thought
that as many as two-thirds have typhoid
fever" The News and Courier claims
that these sick soldiers were dumped
down upon Charleston from Chattanooga
and Camp Alger, near Washington It
does not appear, however. that there Is as
much typhoid at Chattanooga and Camp
Alger, in proportion to- the number Of
troops, as there is in Charleston. Posi-
bly, the germs do not begin to get in their
work until Charleston is reached.

Something should be done at once to
put Bull street, south of Tenth street, in
a passable condition. That part of the
street in the condition in which it is at
present is a disgrace to the city. That
once pleasant drive through Bull street,
Estill avenue and Waters road, is now
quite generally avoided. Surely something
can be done to make the street, at the
point mentioned, passable.

Judge Akin and the Federal Court.
From the Richmond Dispatch Dem.).

We do not understand Judge Akin as
wishing to take away from federal judges
the power to issue injunctions. Being a
lawyer Of enough prominence to entitle
him TO the presidency of the Bar Asso-
citation of Georgia, he could hardly as
sumo such a position as that. We sup
pose what he wants is that those judges
shall have more consideration for our
state courts, and shall use their injunc-
tons with the utmost prudence.

The Fever at Santiago.

According to special dispatches from
Santiago a great many of our soldiers there
are suffering from yellow and malarial fe-
vers. Up to last Friday, one of these
reports says, there were 800 yellow fever
cases. Our dispatches this morning say
there are GOO. That is an increase
of 100 day. 1t is not i'm
probable that many of the sick soldiers
sent North, alleged to be suffering from
malarial fever are, in fact, i'll from mild
type of yellow fever The government
should not lose a day, not an hour, in get
ting our troops at Santiago away from
that city, and to the hill country of the
interior. If they remain on the coast, not
only will the epidemic spread rapidly, but
the fever will assume a more virulent
form.
The talk about stamping out the disease
and of preventing its spread by sanitary
precautions, is consoling 10 people in this
country who know nothing about the fe-
have had some experience with it. The
best thing 10 do, in fact the only wise
thing is to get the troops away from the
Cuban coast towns. They should be sent
to the high lands at once.
DR.. Guiteras had charge of the fever
camp at Siboney for awhile, but think
ing ne had done all he could, he has re-
turned to the United States and Dr.
Parker of New Orleans is now in charge
of the yellow fevel hospital. No doubt he
is doing all he can for the sufferers, but 1t
cannot be otherwise than that he is labor
ing under great disadvantages

Those who were so fresh in criticlsing
Gen. shafter haven't had much to say
since he captured Santiago and about 25C0o
Spanish soldiers. If they should attempt
to show they were right they wouldn't be
listened to. Success has made adverse
criticism practically Impossible. After all,
it was reasonable to suppose that Gen.
shafter knew more about how the cam
paign should be conducted than the cor
respondents or newspaper editors did. He.
had difficulties to contend with Of which
they knew nothing. and without knowing
them they couldn't crticise fairly.

The worlds annual consumption of ivory
is estimated at something like 10000 900
pounds, valued at 81 100000 and to supply
this amount 10000 elephants must be kill
ed, says The Philadelphia Record. The con-
sumption in Sheffield alone requires the
annual slaughter of - Geo animals. Africa
supplies the great bulk of ivory, the In
dian wild elephant having become so scrace
of late years that India is now obliged to
import a considerable quantity of ivory. A
vast amount of fossil ivory is also export
cd from Eastern Siberia to various coun-
tries, chiefly to the continent, where it is
more highly esteemed than in England
Africa, then, remains the happy hunting
ground for the ivory collector. african
ivory, toe, fetches a higher price than any
other being denser in texture, susceptible
of higher polish, and not so liable to turn
yellow when exposed to the light as the
Indian kind. In Africa itself the quail
ity Is found to vary greatly, the rule being
that the warmer the region the finer is the
ever, are generally met with at some dis
lance from the equator. The finest pair
OF tusks ever brought to Europe came
from Uganda and are valued at 1910. Tusks
of nything like these dimensions are
however, very rare, and are difficult 70
procure from the natives, who value them
highly and use them for doorposts, espe-
cialiy in their temples. The teeth of a full
grown "tusker' seldom measure over six
feet, and weigh from 100 to 200 pounds. The
tusk is usually solid for about half its
length the base being quite thin. and
therefore Of little use for commercial pur-
poses. Only from the upper portion of the
tusk can billiard balls and the bulkier arti-
cles be made.

Eggs are the all -year-around crop.
Other crops have their harvest,
when they must be sold at once or
stored at an expense. With proper
care hens are like money on interest,
work Sundays, holidays and rainy
days. A basket of eggs carried in
one hand will often bring as much
money as load of straw. A neigh
bor hauled cord of wood to mar
ket for 50; his wife carried ten dozen
eggs the same day, which brought
$3.50. A crate of eggs, which can
be taken to market in light
vehicle, will fetch as much as a
Dad of produce. The cost of pro-
ducing eggs is nothing compared to
the hard work and expense of pro-
ducing the other.

Dehorning Cattle.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer says
that he dehorns his cattle, for it de-
prives them of the power of MAIN
ing or killing each other, or MAIN
ing or killing other stock and
manning or killing human beings.
When dehorned they sell better and
are more profitable. Feeders pay
Zoe more per 100 pounds for de-
horned cattle. There is less risk in
feeding hornless cattle, as more can
be fed in the same space if the horns
are removed

In growing alfalfa the land must
be plowed deep and narrowed fine.
Manure and fertilizer should be APP
piled literally and lime applied ON
the land in the Fall. Sow the seed
in the Spring, using from 10 to 20
pounds of seed, according to circum.
stances, sowing broadcast if the
land is clear of grass and weeds. If
not it will be an advantage to drill
the seed in rows, close together, and
cultivate the first year with wheel
hoes. Once established, an alfalfa
plot will last for years. as the roots
60 down to great depths and secure
moisture. In this section farmers
should sow few rows by way of
experiment in the Spring and keep
the plants free of grass and weeds.
