The Cures Progress.

Monsieur the Cure, down the street
Comes with his kind old face
With his coat worn bare. and his Struggling hair,
And his green umbrella case.
You may see him pass by the little ''Grande
Place
And the tiny ..Hotel-de-villc:"
He smiles a. he goes. to the Fleurist Rose,
And the pompier Theophile.
He turns, as a rule through the 'Siarche' cool,
Where the noisy fSiiwives call
And his compliment pays 10 the Belle Therese,
As she knits in her dusky stall.
There's letter to drop at the locksmith's shop.
And Toto. the locksmith's niece.
Has iuhilant hopes, for the Cure gropes
In his tails for pain depice.
There's a little dispute with merchant OF fruit,
Who is said to be hetcrodoS.
That will ended be with MA fol- QUIZ
And pinch from the Cures box.
There is also word that no one heard
To the furrier's daughter, too;
And pale check fed with 4 fiickcring red,
And Bon Dieu garde Msieu.''
But crauder way for the Sous Prefet
And a bow for Ma'am see Anne;
And a mock ''uff-hat'' to the notaTy's cat,
And nod to the sacristan.
Forever through life the Cure goes
With Il smile on his kind old face
With his coat worn bare and his Struggling hair,

The Elf-Bairn.

As came over kirkstone Pass,
Through the whin and heather,
/ met u bonnie shepherd lass,
S;rayed in the misty weather.
To her bare feet the rock would seem
As soft as honey-clover;
But ii We crossed a running stream
She bade me lift her over
She kissed me sweetly for a charm,
had been hers forever,
But that wore, to shield from harm,
sprig o the white heather.
And if asked her whence she came,
She would not bide nor hearkcn;
But if asked her for her name,
Her eyes would glow and darken.
We passed a beck by Kirkstone cairn,
| dipped her in the water;
She. changed into an elm BARN,
Ran off before | caught her.

His prayer was granted. The vast world was
chained
captive to the chariot OF his pride.
The blood of myriad provinces was drained
To feed that fierce. Unsuitable red heart

With serried legions and with close-meshed

And pursuing his mouth that dimpled white
And red, as if some dagger keen and slim
Had stung him there, while ever faint and dim
His eerie warblings piped his high delight.

At which, all suddenly. he dropped from view;

LITERARY NOTES.

Wordsworth and the Coleridges, with
Other Memories Literary and Politi
CAL" by Ellis Yarnall. is soon to
be published Mr.. Yarnalls memory
carries the reader back TO Lafay
cites visit to Philadelphia in 1924.
In 1S49 he visited Wordsworth, and he en-
joyed lifelong friendship with Sir John
Taylor Coleridge and Lord Coleridge. He
talked with Gladstone and John Bright
and Charles Francis Adams in the wake
OF the civil war. His recollactions of the
Tractarian movement and his talks with
Keble have n special interest for the
churchman, while the student OF nine
teenth century politics will find much that
is important and many things that are
new in his memories of Sumner, Lincoln,
and Gladstone, w. Z. Forster, John Stuart
Mill and John Bright.
Prof Arber's new British Antho,ogies"
are so far ready that Henry Frowde, of the
oxford University Press. will publish the
first volumes leach of which represents a
definite period of English literary history
early next month. These are to be the
Shakespeare, Jonson and Milton antholo-
gies. The whole series will contain about
$500 entire poems and songs written by
800 poets and Will be issued at popular
prices, although printed in large type on
good paper, with a cover specially design
ed by a. A. Turbayne.
The "Bookman" says: Here is true
Ruskin story that has never been publish

edition of Ruskin's works. They were
seized by the customs. of course, and were
| in peril of confscation when the consignee
learned that if he could procure letter
from Mr.. Ruskin allowing the books TO
pass into England the customs would re-
lease them. Accordingly, a letter of re-
quest was sent to Mr.. Ruskin, who replied
promptly and with characteristic verve as
follows:
Sir: ] do not see that your friends desire tc
give you a present at my expense is any apo
ogy for your intrusion upon me- Yours, etc,

The books came back to America but in
spite of very tempting offers the recipient
of Mr.. Ruskin's curt reply refuses TO part
with the autograph.

CULTIVATION COUNTS
Small Holdings, Diversity Of Crops
and First-Class Products Make
Farmers wealthy.

For several years prices have, quito
generally, been unremunerative and
production consequently limited, says
writer in the North American Review.
Farmers have refrained from hiring
help and have contented themselves
with what could be produced by the
family. I know Of no farm that Is
yielding to its fullest capacity; yet
some are producing more than twice
as much per acre as adjoining farms
equally good. To illustrate: A farm
of 200 acres, 160 Of which are improved,
received careful treatment and above
the average condition Of farms in the
vicinity, has o cash income OF from
5000 to s7OO yearly as the result Of the
work Of two men. An adjoining farm
Of 40 acres, with the same labor, aver
ages about $500. A river farm Of 40
acres, with q little more work, gives
about $1,000. Small holdings, diversity
of crops and profitable prices will more
than double our production without
any increase in the area Of improved
land. France, with nine times our pop
ulation to the square mile, produced
over eight bushels Of wheat per capita
for the five years ending with 1897.
Our production for the same period was
but little more than seven bushels per
capita.

SO it may be fastened anywhere along
the strip, q. The strip. a. has bolt holes
two inches apart, along its entire
length.
The runners may be set to mark rows
as wide as four feet apart, and as mar
row as four inches. and between these
extremes, at any distance In IN even
number of inches. The outside rum
ners in the illustration are set just
even with the ends Of the strip, g. The
rows are then three feet apart. But
each runner may be set at least foot
farther from the center, by means Of
the bar shown at I, and still lap enough
to fasten. When the rows are to be
less than 2M feet apart the runners
must change places with each other
put d at e's end and e ut DIS end. Then
the rows may be narrowed down to

The advantage Of having the center

touch the ground all the time, even
