ident and by Secretary Alger that as
soon as the actiYe fighting has ceased
the state volunteers Wal be impatient
to return home and re-enter the pur-
suits which they abandoned for the
field OF war. As large garrisons will
be needed In Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, not to speak OF Hawaii,
the President would not be able to see
his way to disbanding the volunteer
forces from the different states unless
some other adequate force was pro-
vided for garrison duty. 1t Is the In
tention to keep the immune regiments
and the colored regiments which will
be organized in this service for this
purpose.

For the Entire Family

Although the leading object Of Farm and
Home, which our readers may procure in
connection with this paper, is, of course, to
acquaint the cutivator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes that the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household Accord
lngiy, much valuable space in each issue is
devoted to the wife, mother and daughters
not forgetting the boys and girls, who are
soon to bccome-at least we hope they are
farmers and farmers wives. Replete each
issue with great variety of original arti-
Giles on the farm, garden and household, by
the leading rural writers of the day, Farm
and Home ls not only Indispensable to the
farmer, but meets the requirements of the
entire family. We cordially recommend it
as pure in tone and well devised to instruct
and ent, rtain the farmer and his family.

Leander Tree and Rose Wood.

l knew youth, Leander Tree;
He came of foreign stock;
His father was Pole; the son
A chip of the old block.
Within vegetable shop
His budding life began;
His hopes grew evergreen he was
A poplar, spruce young man.
His look was sage; a heart of oak
Beet currants through his chest;
His hair was bushy, carroty,
But heart-ease filled his breast.
His limbs were Tonga pairs of bars
His walk a country gate;
But still he did not pine and rail
And rhue his thyme and fate.
He used to board with Widow Wood,
And loved her daughter, Rose;
She'd cherry lips, round radish cheeks,
A little turnip nose.
He vowed they'd make lovely pear,
And clasped her willowy waist;
"Leander, O-leander. dearl'
She cried, when thus embraced.
"My sweet rosewood, my dear pine not,
Your beauty l door;
can not leave. cut stick, embark,
And never see you mower"
Said she: "Don't be great gra-ape;
10 part now wooden do;
Leander, O-leander Tree,
I'll make bow of yew."
The parson came, str etched out his palms,
And blessed their welded vow;
Leander Tree and Rose Wood Tree
Have Olive branches now.

When r1Other Looks.

l member such a lot of things
That happened long ago,
When me an Jim was six years old
An now we're ten or so.
But those that remember best
The ones most can see
Are the things that used to happen
When mother looked at me.
One time in clurch, when me an Jim
Was snickerin out loud
The minister was prayin', an
The peoples heads was bowed
We had the biggest kind of joke
About bum bebee,
But things got quiet rather quick
When mother looked at me-
And then there's some times when think
I'd had such lots of fun
Agoin' in swimmn' with the boys
Down there by Jones run,
But when got back home again
just bout in time for tea
Theirs kind of different feeling comes
When mother looks at me.
That time when ! was awful sick
An the doctor shook his head,
An ev'ry time pa come around
HIS eyes vas wet an red,
L member her hands on my face
How soft they used to be
somehow the pain seemed easier
w hen mother looked at me.
It's funny how it makes YOU feel
| amt afraid of her,
she's bout the incest person
You'd find most anywhere
But the Queerest sort of feeling,
As queer as queer can be,
Makes everything seem different
When mother looks at me

knew that he was born at luis, in the
island of Ceos, and travelled far and wide,
like his uncle Simonides, his great rival
Pindar, and the other lyric poets who liv-
ed and sang five centuries before the be-
ginning of our era; we have known that
when Simonides was invited to Syracuse
by Hero, Bacchylides went with him,
and we knew that afterwards Athens was
his home for many years, and the scene
of repeated literary triumphs that gave
him an eminence second to none in his
own day; and that still later he practiced
his art in the Peloponnesus. But that
was about all we knew of him until this
time last year, when the British Museum
announced the discovery of manuscript
(papyrus) containing songs-a score of
them and some of considerable length
by Bacchylides. The restitution of a
writer's personality, as revealed in his
works, after all these centuries of dim
ness, is in a high degree picturesque. 1t
is somewhat as though one of those ex-
tinct, burnt-o out suns-invisible black
balls that gravtate round other huge dark
bodies here and there among the systems
of the universe-had suddenly come to

covered paan of Bacchylides) is given in

There is another form, called dry bron-
chitis, in which the matter expectorated is
neither profuse nor watery nor purulent. 1t
is a glutinous kind of stuff, of blush white
or pearly gray color. The chronic inham-
nation which causes it thickens the mucous
membrane, thereby narrowing the tubes
through which we breath, and shortening
and depressing the breath. Often tubes of
considerable size become completely clogged
by this tough phlegm, causing great diff

Here we have lung disease which direct

the symptoms of that disease, and yet IL not

as 1t often does, an examination of the lungs
reveals neither tubercles, liberation, nor the
bacilli of tuherCul oss. ....
In such cases death generally results from
suffocation caused by a sudden attack of
congestion, which, super. ening on the
chronic disease, fills the lungs with viscid
mucous that the patient, in his weakened
condition, is unable to raise.

A Backlog Fancy.

The room is dim, the logs burn low.
But in the titfu flash I see
Upon the wall the sunbeams glow
Through the green branches of the tree
The backlog sputters, and hear
The forests leafy summer note,
And in the waves of smoke appear
The blue pool of the wood remote.
Then like a spirit, witchlng. gay,
Ascends throbbng golden spark
A freely drifting on its way
Across the lonely marish dark.
