A deep and a mighty shadow
Across my heart is thrown,
Like a cloud on a summer meadow,
Where the thunder-wind hath blown!
The wild-rose, Fancy. dieth,
The sweet bird, memory, fieth,
And leaveth me alone
Alone with my hopeless sorrow:
No other mate / know!

But the dull words will not flow!
l pray-but my prayers are driven
Aside, by the angry heaven,
And weigh me down with wo!
I call on the past, to lend me q
Its songs, to soothe my pain;
I bid the dim future send me
A light from its eyes-in vain!
Naught comes; but a shrill cry ,starteth
From Hope. as she fast departeth-

Curious Partnership.

Of late years naturalists have be-
come acquainted with numerous exam
pies of animal partnerships. In one of
the Chicken islands, off the New Zea-
land coast, a curious lizard, known as
the tuatara, and certain species of ne
trels, were found inhabiting the same
burrows, apparently on the best of
terms. AS a rule the lizard is the ex-
cavator.
The lizard feeds partly on worms
and partly on the remains OF fishes
brought to che common table by the
petrol, both animals being thus bene-
flied by the partnership.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life to the powerful al
liances it forms. One of it's fins had
been transformed into a sucker placed
right on the top of it's head, by means
of which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark, whale or even ship. By
these 1t is transported without any
exertion on its own part over great
distances. Several small fishes have
been found also to habitually loage in
the mouth cavity of a Brazilian catfish,
sharing such food as the latter sue
ceeds in capturing.

shaking his head with as much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel at
being Imposed upon. With loud cnat-
tering and angry gestures he makes
known his displeasure at being Sre-
sented with a bad piece of money. The
merchant himself could not express 1t
better. Now, how does a monkey

A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple-peaked mass of dark brown ba-
salt, six or eight miles in length,
where it fronts the river, and rises to
the height of almost 1000 feet above
the water.
That 1t is in motion is the last
thought that would be likely to sug-
gest itself to the mind of anyone pass
ing it, yet it is a well established fact
that this entire mountain is moving
slowly but steadily down to the river,
as If it had a deliberate purpose some
time in the future, to dam me Column
bia and form a great lake from the
Cascades to the Dalles. In its down.
ward movement the forest along
the base of the ridge has been sub
merged in the river. Large tree
stumps can be seen standing dead in
the water on this shore. The railway
engineers and brakemen find that the
line of railway which skirts the foot
Of the mountain is being continually
forced out of place. At certain points
the permanent way and rails have
been pushed eight and ten feet out OF
line in a few years. Biologists attri-
butte this strange phenomenon to the
fact that the basal, which constitutes
the bulk of the mountain, rests on a
sub-stratum Of conglomerate, or of soft
sandstone, which the deep, swift cur
rent of the mighty river is constantly

ton. If the coin is good he declares
the fact plainly. He takes it from his
mouth and carefully places it in its
proper receptacle beside him. he has
pronounced judgment and every one is
satisfied that the judgment Is correct.
But If the coin is bad the cashier then
makes known his verdict in an equally

A Sudden Introduction,

A Philadelphia paper tells a funny
story of the blizzard days of last win
ter in that city. A certain Mr.. K. had
over his dining-room a skylight which
was burdened with a great weight of
snow, and went UP to remove it. He
shoveled it off, and then it occurred to
him that he would perform the same
service for his next-door neighbor,
whose dining-room lay side by side
with his own, the construction of the
two houses being alike.
The inmate of the next house was a
worthy widow, whom Mr.. K. had never
met, but with whom his wife was on
calling terms.
Mr.. K. proceeded to a position from
which he could, as he supposed, safely
shovel off the snow, but in doing so he
made a false step and got on the sky
light. Crash! went the glass, and down
through the aperture went Mr.. K.
1t CHANGED that his next-door neigh
Dor was just at this time eating her
dinner. Mr.. K. landed in a sitting
posture in the middle of her table, sur
rounded by snow, broken glass and
china, and capsized dishes of food, and
still manfully brandishing his snow
shovel.
The shovel told the story to the
widow. Although somewhat discon-
certed, she quickly regained her COM
posture, recognized the neighbor whom
she had seen pass her door, and ex-
claimed, politely:
20 Mr.. K, I am very glad you've
called! I've often heard Mrs. K. speak
of you!"

The OuadroOn.

The Quadroon.
Say they that all beauty lies
In the paler maiden's hue?
say they that all softness flies,
Save from the eyes of April blue?
Arise thou, like a night In June,
Beautiful Quadroon!
Conceal dark and bright, as skies
With the end starlight hung!
Loose the love from out thine eyes!
Loose the angel from thy tongue!
Let them hear heavens W sweet tune
Beautiful Quadroon!
Tell them-Bsauty (born above)
From no shade nor hue doth ny;
All she asks is mind, is love,
And both Upon thine aspect lie
Like the light upon the moon.

Feeding Skimmilk.

A correspondent OF Dairy and
Creamery writes that paper as follows:
l have had considerable experience,
extending over several years, in feed
Ing separator skimmilk to farm stock,
and thought possibly 1 might give
some facts from my experience that
would be Of interest to your readers.
When feeding skimmilk to milk COWS
it does much to build up a heifer; for
an old COW 1t was not so beneficial.
Many Of the latter would not touch it.
while the young one were so eager to

gallons. fed once a day while warm,
was the way We thought best. We
never had any trouble from bloating.
The milk agreed with them and seem
ed to be nourishing and an appetizer.
Small pigs thrive on it best and the
half grown one do very we'll. Full
grown pigs do only fairly well and
need a laxative. The sweet milk in
warm weather made plump, flabby fat
for a time, but corn meal was needed,
and in cooler weather some oil cake
also. Sour milk is less ~fattening than
sweet, though less binding.
Young calves should be fed warm
sweet milk, in even lots, three times
daily for the first three or four months
with some corn, oats and f1axseed meal
and grass or hay. In cold weather
more corn meal is needed unless the
stable is very warm. Cold and o II

lily the calf's natural food, the fact Is
all the more forcible. The skimmilk

CITY RULE BY INJUNCTION.

Residents of the eastern and south
eastern portions of Salt Lake are ap-
preciating the beauties of city govern
ment by private injunction these days.
With water running to waste from City
creek. large part of the city is de-
prived of a water supply that would
be furnished if the government elected
by the people were allowed to make
projected improvements according to
its best Judgment. Because the plan
of procedure did not suit the local Re
publican leaders, three citizens who are
not affected by water shortage went
into court and stopped the water main
extension. Possibly it will occur to
these gentlemen along in midsummer
that their great solicitude for the city's
welfare and their own political advan-
tage was a stupid blunder politically,
to say nothing of its resultant incon-
venience to the people most interested.

liam the COnqueror. His original in
| tention was merely to assert his right,
| based upon the commentator of the
] Confessor, to be elected by the people;
but the irreconcilable race antagonism,
resulting from the complete suppress
| sion of Saxon customs and powers fol-
lowing the election, caused many up
risngs, which he quelled in most per-
emptory fashion, declaring thenceforth
that it was necessary for him to be
a most absolute monarch in order to
suppress revolt and maintain the power
he had gained. The people rebelled,
! for instance. at being driven from the
forests which William and his retinue
preserved strictly for game, and they
also complained bitterly of the estab-
lishment of the old Norman custom of
ringing the curfew bell at o'clock in
the evening. when all lights had to be
eXtinguished. Their remonStranceS,
however, were >of no avail with the
stark" king, who brooked no sugges-
tions, whose whims became iron laws,
and who commanded largely by might
of the fear which he inspired.
Matildas share of the martial glory
with which her husband covered him
self in the conquest of England lay in
her famous perpetuation of these deeds
in the tapestries of BayeuX. Having
surprised her husband by a fully
equipped war vessel, the Mora, in
which to undertake this expedition. she
awaited news from his camp with the
greatest enthusiasm. The news of his
overwhelming victory reached her as
she was praying in the cathedral
whose name she instantly changed from
that of Notre Dame to that of Our
Lady of Good Tidings." When her hus-
bands conquest became an assured
fact she made haste to chronicle with
her needle the great Norman epic.
Summoning to her aid the ready pencil
of Turold the Dwarf she ordered him to
make cartoons or working draughtS of
the stirring events in which her lord
figured as hero-in-cbief. Then. with the
aid of her ladies in wait
ing, she copied these patterns
in cross stitches of wooden thread
upon strips of canvas, 20x36 inches.
This wonderful tapestry depicts in his
toric sequence the series of events, be-
ginning with Harold's imprisonment

cathedral of Bayeux as a testimonial
of the great services which it's bishop.

These tapestries are still exhibited on
certain days of the year in the nave of
the cathedral around which they ex-
actly fit. Those who were privileged
to see the exhibition of the Bayeux
tapestries at the Worlds Fair in 1898
found it difficult to believe that they
were facsimiles of events nearly 1000
years old. Although somewhat faded
they have withstood the ravages of

1t is wonderful what a difference
A change of church, a change Of party,
means a change of heart, a change of
policy; and things which appeared in
explicable before are easily understood
and cheerfully excused after taking.
Our morning contemporary is very
indignant now that certain eastern
newspapers should refer to the war in
Luzon as one of conquest: that the mo-
tives of the administration should be
impeached; that the president should be
described as a monster, and that the
secretary of war should be regarded as
incompetent and mercenary. Such
declarations, says our contemporary,
are calculated to disgrace the admin
istration and the nation in the eyes of
mankind, and furnish material for a
great political party in the next cam
paign. After giving this list of Of

Soon after followed the magnificent dis
play of their wedding festivities and of
their triumphal entry into Rouen. Here
another obstacle interposed itself. The
archbishop of Rouen, declaring their
marriage Illegal on account of their
cousinship. proceeded to excommuni-
cate the royal bride and groom. Will

who, upon presentation of certain re-
ligious and philanthropic buildings,
deemed it expedient to nullify the arch
bishops decree and sanction the mar
riage.
