She Had just Served Sentence of 60
Days.

Mamie Suprenant was arrested last
evening by Night Chief of Police Frank
O'Brien in saloon on East Park ave-
nue.. charged with being drunk and dis
turbing the peace. Mamie could not
stick to her pledge very long. Yester-
day morning, on leaving the county
Jail after serving a sentence of so days,
she solemnly promised never again to
get drunk, but her arrest last evening
shows that the woman could not resist
the temptation of going on good spree
after having been sober for 60 days.
She will appear this morning before
Judge Fitzgerald in the police court,
when she will probably be sent again
to the place where they never drink
anything stronger than tea, coffee or
Water'

pigeon Post in New Zealand.

Recent experiments in flying pigeons
between the town of Auckland, North
island, New Zealand, and Great Barrier
island have resulted in the successful
establishment of pigeon postal service
between those points. The government
not seeing its way to make cable COM
munication with the island (the popula,
ton even now scarcely numbering roo
souls), it was left to private enterprise
to establish speedy and not too ex-
ipensive means of communication be-
tween Auckland and the island at the
mouth of the Gulf of Hauralsi. The
germ of the solution of the difficulty
was found in the use of pigeons to carry
dispatches to Auckland on the occasion
of the wreck of the Wairarapa, and ac-
cordingly large number of birds has
been trained for the service, and daily
post is now in successful operation.
Each bird carries four ''pigeongrams"

\ PRACTICAL DEPARTMENT.

No department of this government is
doing more practical and beneficial
work than the department. of agricul-
ture. Among the subjects receiving its
attention may be named the introduc-
ton of improved varieties of rice from
Japan for the rice plantations of Lou
isiana, the introduction of q variety Of
alfalfa which will endure the arid con-
ditions of our western ranges, the rec
lamation Of the abandoned farms of
the eastern states, the starting of tea
plantations in the southern states, the
promotion of the beet sugar interests,
the finding Of new markets for our ag-
ricultural products, the experiments
ton with the serum treatment for the
prevention of hog cholera, much good
work on the line of improved methods
Of roadmaking, irrigation, forestry, an
imal industry and meat inspection. 1t
may be truthfully said that if this
country is importing any soil product
which may be grown in our borders,
the department is wide awake to find
out why it is not SO grown, and If mar
kets can be found for our surplus
products the department is equally
alert to open them up. OF such value
is this department as at present con-
Quoted to the agricultural interests Of
the country that congress should with
out debate or argument appropriate all
the money asked for by the secretary.

THE cow WILL DO 1T.

A farm of l20 acres of just fairly
good land, situated in a Wisconsin
county. was lately sold for $12O 900, the
purchaser being a German farmer who
owned land adjoining. When asked if
he could afford to pay this price for
land which had been worked none too
well for not less than so years, he re-
piled that he could make the invest
ment pay him at least S per cent by
using the farm for dairy purposes.
Men owning $50 an acre land in Iowa
and Minnesota can get hint from this
item. The COW will not only raise the
value Of the farm upon which she is
kept, but is the only animal which can
make high priced land profitable.
Dairying, while in sense agricultural
slavery, is still the key which unlocks
the fertility and financial profits Of the
farm

The price Of mules in this country
has greatly advanced owing to the de-
mand for them by England in connec-
tion with the Boer war in Africa.
About every available mule of the
standard required is being picked up

best mules are raised. 1t is fact
worth noting in this connection that
the white mare mule brings the high

A ripple Of rhythm trilling tune
Cadenced and caroled to colors Of June,
Shaded with vistas Of shadcwy dreams,
Rhyming and timing to singing Of streams
Sounding the tint and the CLINT Of the sky,
Echoing, ochoing ecstasy
Shining the sheen and the green of the sheaf,
Sparkling and darhling the diamond dewed
leaf.
Painting the grace and the face Of the flower,
Kissing the lip and tho drip of the shower,
Stealing the breeze Of the trees and the shades,
Drinking the dcws Of the dells and tho glades.
Whistling the wind voiced violin trill,
Trebling the thread Of slender thrill;
Twittering over the trembling strings
6ubtlest, sweetest and tenderest things
Pealing passionate pecan of love.
Lyrical, limpid, waited above
Bird halloluiahs, echoed afar, <
Chanted through natures portals ajar.
Running in rapture the scale of song scope,
Wording and birding the rainbow of hope
Pulsing and throbbing and thrilling with June
Fashioning, passioning all to his tune.
Praising in prisms Of cadencing light,
Soaring and soaring to ecstasy s height;
Swelling his magical, music mad throat,

There are still a good many men en-
gagged in keeping dairy cows who do
not hesitate to turn their cows out of
the barn on snappy cold day and let
them drink their fill of ice cold water.
AS a milk represser ice water can't be
beat. The water given the milk cows
in winter should not be lower than 80
degrees, aud go degrees is much better.
The milk COW should never under any
circumstances be set shivering. You
must give June conditions if you ex-
pect June results from her.

II all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue.
II cruel words were kisses, n
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth whilA
fpurses would untighten
To meet a brothers. need, y
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
II those who whine would whistla.
And those who lnnguish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chat.
II hearts were only jolly,
II grieving were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
We're things that now are not.
Then love would kneel to duty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
u men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
II neighbor spake to neighbour
AS love demands Of all.
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten.
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause to listen.
And life would be divine.
