"BEcAusE YOU LOVE ME-"

Because you love me have found
New joys that were not mine before,
New stars that nghtened up my sky
With glories growing more and more.
Because you love me can rise
To heights of fame and realms of power;
Because you love me l may learn
The highest use of every hour.
Because you love me l can choose
To look through your dear eyes and see
Beyond the beauty of the now
Far onward to eternity.
Because you love me can wait
With perfect patience well possessed;
Because you love me all my life
Is circled with unquestioned rest;
Yes, even life and even death
Is all unquestioned and all blest.

Gburl,hns and Flying Fish,

Three men of the Fifth Ghurlas
were trained by experienced Swiss
guides-one with Lieut.. Bruce in the
early '9Os, and the others with Sir Mar
tin Conway in 1894. Good-tempered,
cheerful, keen and full of fun, they be-
came general fayorites wherever they
went. They, on their part, thorough
ly appreciated the kindness with
which they were treated, and their
wonderful and delightful experiences
in Europe still afford an endless topic
of conversation. The little Himalay-
ans were intensely interested in every
thing they saw, the sea and the ships
proving a source of great delight. Fly
ing fish, however, they could not at all
understand. To such great wielders of
the rod this mode of piscine locomotion
seemed most improper. One of these
fish having fallen on board the ship,
was Immediately pounced upon by
Karbir and Amar Sing. Being asked
what their friends in the regiment
would think when told that fish could
fly, the Ghurkas naively replied that
they hadn't the slightest intention of
mentioning the fact, as their reputa-
lions for veracity were at present good,
and, should they try their comrades
credulity with this travellers tale, no
one would believe a word they might
say for the rest of their service

WORST OF ALL JAGS.
A Druggist Says That One Trial VIII
Do Amy Man for
Lifetime.

1.-The caIisaya jag is making Roadway
in Washington, said all obscrrant
druggist, reports the Washington Post.
ut is chiefly favored, l notice, by
young married men, probably because
the calisaya jag doesn't make itself
manifest in the breath. 1t is bad
proposition at that, rs all purely COM
promise jags are-the ginger, benzlnc,
alcohol, cologne, and red-ink iags, for
example. experimental with a cali
saga jag myself last summer. Once
was enough. 4 man with properly
developed calisaya jag will walk nine
miles through snow knee deep to bite
his mother. He is also liable to pick his
own pocket He will club himself Oh
the head with a piece of lead pipe and
then have his grandfather pinched for
assault and battery. On the following
morning he'll feel as if he'd swallowed
q sealskin sacque, just the same as
if he had put in the night before hitting
up Dreyfus swizzles or Dom Paul bur
giles. There's nothing dreamy or poet
ic about a calisaya jag. a man doesn't
have any fun with one unless he's
breaking his pet pug dogs leg or doing
something like that. It's the onriest
jag cxtant. It's got TO be fed every 20
minutes or so, too, or it dies disiaally,
and dying calisaya jag is worse mis-
cry than being left at the post on a one
to eight shot. You want to pull up the
rose bushesin your back yard and shoot
at birds nests with an airgun. You
want to get rebate on the gas Dill that
you paid nine years ago, and to swiPc
the aigrcttcs out of your wife's bon
net. A man when he gets properly
started on the right kind OF coed red
liquor will want to give away his watch
and chain to cab driver, but will
smash his own kids kite sticks when
he falls under the evil consequences Of
calisaya jag. But they're bucking 1t,
all the same"

MATURING FRUIT TREES.
They Need nm Extra Application CT
Soluble Fertilizers During the
Bearing Season.

1t is a great advantage to trees that
have blossomed freely and set much
fruit to give them extra applications OF
soluble manures, at the same time APP
plying water enough to carry the fer
tilizer where the roots can get it. Most
fruit trees suffer from lack of water in
the soil during the season when they
are forming the seeds. The chief re-
quisite for the shells of all stone fruits
is potash. But it requires a great
amount of water in the soil to enable
the roots to useit. Trees get but little
benefit from the average summer rains,
as they only wet down few inches, and
under the foliage the ground is often al
most dry after heavy shower, the
leaves absorbing and holding so much
of it. This watering of bearing trees
will not, however, make unnecessary
the thinning of fruit where the setting
has been too large. If one-half the fruit
is removed before the seeds begin to
form, what is left will develop into
much finer specimens than can be Sc
cured without thinning. A bearing
tree never makes so much wood growth
as one that is not bearing. BY thinning
the fruit each year the tendency to
grow foliage and wood rather than
fruit is checked, and most trees which
bear only every other year may thus be
trained to the habit of annual bearing,
thus giving crops when the fruit is dear
as well as when it is only drug on the
market.-American Cultivator.

BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE.
No Human Being IL Gifted with Per-
feet Vision, Scientists
Say.

OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known as ''the blind spot" seems the
least understood, says the Philadelphia
Record. In the eye itself certain things
may go on which give US wrong sensa-
tons, which, although not truly illu-
sions, are very much like them. Thus,
when we suddenly strike our heads or
faces against something in the dark,
we see stars" or bright sparks, which
we know are not real lights, though
they are quite as bright and sparkling
as if they were. When we. close one
eye and look straight ahead at some
word or letter in the middle of this
page, for example, we seem to see not
only the thing we are looking at, but
everything else Immediately about it,
and for a long way on each side. But
the truth is, there is large round spot,
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking, in which we see nothing.
Curiously enough, the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by acct
dent, and nobody ever suspected it I'M
I'll Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction of the cyeball that it must
exist and proceeded to find it.

HEMMED IN BY MUD.
snJutary Eject of Good Roads on the
Nou,e and Social Life of Rural
Communities.

1t is not uncommon for agricultural
writers and lecturers who wish to make
farmers contentcd with their lot to say
that farmers have teams and their
wives and families can go to town when
they like andSattend churches, socia-
bles, lectures, farmers clubs, oranges,
history clubs and Chautauqua circles,
for study and entertainment. This is
al true TO some extent, and is excellent
except during the two to four months
of fall, winter and spring when large
part of the farmers living remote from
any village are practically mud
bound" There is something romantic,
beautiful and poetic in being snow
bound in the way described by our'be-
loyed poet Whittier in his delightful

TOLLS PAID IN HoRsEsHoEs.
Survival of u Curious Old Custom,
Building Up Remarkable Col"
lection In England.

One of the most curious survivals of
the custom Of paying tolls exists at
Oallham castle, in Rutlandshire. From
very ancient times whenever a peer Of
the realm rides by the place he is re-
CURED by the constable of the castle
to contribute a horseshoe in lieu Of a
fine. These are then hung upon the
walls of room in the castle, which is
thought to have been formerly used as
4 chapel The custom still obtains,
though nowadays noblemea who pass
through the town generally contribute
shoes of some precious metal, richly
decorated and bearing their coat-of-
arms. Qaite lately the earl of Onslow
forwarded to j. Z. Whitehouse, the con-
stable of Oaltham castle, new horse
shoe, richly decorated, bearing the in
scription: "William Hitler, Fourth
Earl of Onslow."
Another nobleman who was driving a
tendem through the town q short time
ago was called upon for the customary
shoe. When it arrived it was found to
be of pure gold and beautifully chased.
1t is now one of the notwithstanding OBJ
iects in the collection.

sight of which caused my scimitar 10
fall from my nerveless grasp. Out of
tangled red name. rose a white neck
of columnar strength, surmounted by a
countenanee of awful beauty. Be-

The tissue Fate has spun;

From coarse to fine the woof-threads

All, foolish one, they shall not change
For wish nor prayer of thine!

That through my weary fingers sped
Is rough, and stained with tears.

entrance to the inner room. The tiers
of bins occupied the north and south
sides which were usually reserved for
fruits, the intervening space being util-
lied by boxes and barrels for vegc-
tables. The entry was provided with
a door and two windows. The lower
half of the window can be provided
with lattice work, thus doing away with
the necessity of screens during the
summer, when, the contents OF the eel
lar gone and liberal use OF white
wash made, the inner room can be
utilized as a milk room during the
summer months. The floors of the
rooms were of sandstone. No drainage
was necessary. The natural advantages
were suitable, the building being placed
on ground having a steep decline of
several feet, the cellar or inner room
being entirely underground while the
front opened upon level ground. III
entry was useful as place OF storage
for pork and vinegar barrels.
A separate house for the storage Of
fruit and vegetables is preferable to
using the house cellar, as in q separate
building the temperature can be kept
under better control. If superiority
of loose or cobble stones abounds, as is
the case on many farms, an excellent
plan would be to build an outside cellar
Of them, laying them in cement. Such
q cellar would last lifetime, as there
is nothing perishable except the roof.
The temperature of a building of stone
is more equable than any other. But
once in period of 16 years were the
contents of the cellar above described
injured by frost, and then the cellars
all over the land were entered by the
frost king.-ATrs. y. c. Mcpherson, in
