A little frost would kill it;

The lily meath its coverlid,
Nor stay its buds from blowing.
It knows no labor but to bloom
Gods darling need no cares assume.
No tribute pay but beauty;

And still to keep its garments white
Is nature more than duty.
What If tomorrow It must die?
Is there no Easter In the sky
To earth's dead blossoms given?
Yon world would forfeit half its bliss
If what is sweetest here in this
Brief springtime, had no heaven.

when 1 heard de Belin's voice at the
broken door: "D'Auriac! Come, man!
The king waits, and bring your prison

and a light on his face as he spoke, and
my dear lifted her swimming eyes to
my face and kissed her again, saying:
Come, my prisoner!"
AS we passed out l kept between
Claude and the grim figure still lying
stark on the landing, and held her to
me, so that she could not see. So with
Lisois before US we passed down the
passage, filled now with men-at-arms,
and halted before room, the door of
which was closed.
Then the door was flung open and a
stream of light poured forth. We en-
tered and saw the king standing sur
rounded by his friends, and a little on
one side was the detected group of
conspirators.
The marshal, now abiect, mean and
cringing, was kneeling before Henry,
who raised him as we entered, saying:
"Biron, and you, Tremoulle, and you
all who called yourselves my friends,
and lay in wait to destroy me, and
destroy your country, l cannot forget
that we were old comrades, and for
old friendships sake l have already
told you that | forgive, and God give
you all as clean a conscience as have
over the blood that has been split to-
day"
As Latin, with a white and bleeding
face, led his master away, Henry's eye
fell on me. and he beckoned me to ad-
vance. | did so, leading Claude by the
hand.
"Chevalier," he said, at is saying lit

made my way to the front.
De Gomeron was half way down the
stairs by this, and when our swords
met, he did not for the moment recog-
nize me. But at the second pass he
realized, and the torchlight showed him
pale to the forehead.
"You!'' he said, between his teeth.
"Yes, l, from under the Seine" and
7 had run him through the throat but
for our position where the advantage
was all his and my reach too short. He
had backed step up as spoke. Whe r.
er it was my sudden appearance, or
what, ! know not: but from this mo-
ment his bravado left him, and he now
fought doggedly, and for dear life.
There was hush behind me, and the
light became brighter as more torches
were brought, and | could now see the
camarguer, white as a sheet, with two
red spots on his cheeks.
"Do you like fighting dead man,
monsieur?" l asked, as l parried a
thrust IN tlerce.
He half groaned, AMI the red spot on
his cheek grew bigger, but he made no
answer, and step by step I forced him
upward.

and there was a stain on his white satin
doublet that was broadening each mo-
ment, whilst thrust and parry grew
weaker, and something, l know not
what, told me he was my man.
But he was a brave man if ever there
was one, and he pulled himself together
as we reached the upper landing for one
last turn with the death that dOgged
him. SO fierce was the attack he now
made, that had he done so but a mo-
ment before, when the advantage Of
position was his, ! know not what had
happened. But nCw-it was different.
He was my man, | was carried away by
the fire within me, or else in pity |
might have spared him-but there is no
need to speak of this more. He thrust
too high. I parried and returned, so
that the cross hilt of my rapier struck
DULY over his heart, and he died where
he fell.
But one word escaped him, some long
lost memory, some secret of that iron
heart came up at the last.

it fell back with a crash | sprang in
and took a tall, slim, white-robed figure
in my arms and kissed her dear face

At IS Mrs. barrow does her own

of little more than passing comment.
She lives alone in the large white house

Perhaps one of the most striking

the keenness and accuracy of her eye

agency she still reads her favorite pas
sages from the Scriptures and her be-
loved hymns from the Methodist song
book.
For Mrs. barrow is Methodist, and
one of the old-fashioned school, too,

HOW TO DEHORN CATTLE.

animal about the horns and lure it into
this fastening.
The animals nose should first be in
serted into the loop at C, C, when the
rope at A, A can be thrown over the
animals neck and held tight under edge
of plank with the spike B. Spike D
should be entered in loop on back of
plank and drawn out towards helper,
when you have the animal securely fas-
tened.
The most vicious beast can be held in
this manner and no amount of exertion
can loosen it until the job is done, when
the helper can after a little practice let
the animal loose quick as wink. The
spikes should be made of tough hickory
orironwood about ~ inches in diameter
and "a and SO inches in length, respect
lively. The plank is not carried along
in the outfit, but is prepared in the farm
yard and left there. An inch auger, a
Ratchet and a few pounds of spike nails
are all that is necessary. With this de-
vice the travel can be done in a light
wagon, and it takes but short time to
prepare the holder. Every farmer has
a plank or heavy board lying around
that can be used.
AS to the question of clippers, the
ones in use here are of the bevel draw
cut plan, that of whiting from you,
thus making a smooth cut next to the
head, thereby leaving smooth wound
to heal up. However, I have no doubt
that any of the clippers advertised will
do work properly. There has been a
great deal of needless talk concerning
the crushing of skulls by the clipping
method, but I have never known or seen
one crushed yet. After the horn is off
something should be done to help heal
up the wound rapidly. Some put on tar,
butwedonot see why. It will keep away
flies, but it Will not keep away dirt. And
dirt, as is well known, causes irritation.
Something must be put on to form a
smooth, dry scab that will resist dust.
The proper time to dehorn is when the
animal is in it's infancy. Any time
after the calf is ten days old the embryo
can be lifted with a dehorning gouge,
and then is when you start the forma-
ton of natural muley head, which is
hard to initiate, even with clippers, after
growth of horn has started.-George w.
Brown, in Ohio Farmer

FACTS ABOUT ROADS
Authentic Figures Showing What 1t
Costs to Haul Produce In the
United States

''The condition of roads in the United
States, taken as whole, can most
clearly be shown in figures. If we can
make inquiries of hundred farmers,
in as many localities, as to how long it
takes each of them to haul load of
crops to town, how far he hauls it and
what his time and that of his team are
worth, we can readily ascertain what
it costs on an average to market load
of crops,'' says Otto Dorner, chairman
OF the highway improvement commit
tee OF the League of American Wheel
men.
IF the number of these inquiries be
sufficiently increased and extended
over the entire country the result will
pretty nearly show what it costs on
an average in the whole United States
to haul load of crops to market. If
with each inquiry we also ascertain
the weight of the load we can figure
out how much it costs per 100 pounds,
or per ton, to market all these crops,
and If the inquiry also include the num-
Der OF miles comprising each haul we
can easily figure the cost of hauling
these crops per ton per mile. This
gives a unit which can be compared
with the same unit, similarly obtained,
by similar inquiries made in other
countries.
IAN inquiry of this kind was made
in November, 1895, by the United States
department of agriculture, through it's
office of road inquiry. Ten thousand
circulars were sent out to farmers in
all parts of the United States asking
for information in these various partic-
| ulars. Replies were received from over
1900 counties, distributed throughout
the United States, and the results were
carefully compiled. The weight of loads
hauled varied between an average of
2,409 pounds in the prairie states and
an average of 1897 pounds in the cot
ton states, the average weight of farm
loads for the whole country being 2,oo2
pounds, or practically ton. The av-
erage length of haul was found to be
II lilo miles, varying between 1910
miles in the eastern states and % $40
miles in the Pacific coast and mountain
states. Inc average cost OF market
ing ton of crops in the United States
was found to be $500. 1t was as high
as $5.12 in the Pacific coast and noun
tain states, due to long hauls, and as
low as $1.87 in the northern and east
ern states, which are more densely set
tied, and where railroads are numer-
Gus and hauls are shorter. The average
cost of hauling ton distance of one
mile was rs cents, it being % cents
in the prairie and Pacific coast and
mountain states, and rising as high as
80 cents in the eastern states.
'The net grand result of all these
inquiries and computations showed
very clearly, and as nearly as human
intelligence can, that it cost the farm
ers of the United States on the average
in time, labor and energy, figuring the
value of teams, wagons and men at
what they can reasonably be hired for.
25 cents every time ton of their crops
was hauled a mile nearer to market;
or, briefly, that it costs 25 cents per
ton per mile to move crops in the Unit
ed States"

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Poor care in the dairy will tear down
faster than good blood can ever build
up.
A Babcock milk tester is as neces-
sary in a creamery or cheese factory as
a pillow is on a farm.
The dairyman who applies his ener-
gies faithfully to his business has the
least to say about hard times.
Regularity in milking, to prove prof
liable, must be observed not by the
week or month, but by the year.
Those dairymen who "deacon" their
calves instead of turning them into veal
will have an extra hard time in raising
the interest on their mortgages.
The dairyman who has an educated
conscience and needs it will not allow
dirt to sift into the open top of the
milk pail and then strain it out through
the funnel.
If farmers would seek to give their
sons an agricultural education in some
of our numerous agricultural colleges
there would be less of them drift into
the Improbable professions.
A clean milking place yieldeth pure,
sweet milk, which in turn produceth
gi1t-edged butter, which fetcheth the
top o. the market price.-American Cul-
tivatOr.
