MiDsuM MER.


Fierce falls the sun from glowing skies
Along the roadside dust;
One shadow by the hedgerow lies
Between the spaces thrust:
A last years nest mid ragged thorns,
Like some gray ghost of spring,
Still keeps hint of April morns
Where robins used to sing.
All day the Ions, long golden beams
OF sunshine flash and fall:
And silence locks the sluggish streams
Whose currents downward crawl;
While airy, vagrant butterflies
With desultory flight,
Beneath dome of cloudless skies,
Float past in shimmering light.
And on the hills soft haze swims,
Blue etched against the blue.
Above the far horizon rims,
Lone stretching to the view
And in the woods doves low plant
4 In melancholy Groom
Comes through the vistas, sweet andtfaint,
While fades the afternoon.
Then twilight spreads her futtering veil
While sinks the suns red shield,
And stars put forth their facets pale
To tighten lane and field;
And on past scent of briery musk
And myriad insect hum,
Cling-cqan ging through the odorous dusk
The jangling cow-bells come.
Ernest McGaffey, in Chicago Evening
Post.

Not FiIiDino,. But Monkev..

In a letter received by Henry Houck,
Of this city, from William I. Johnson, a
Rochester boy who is serving as pri-
vate in company NJ of the Ninth in
fantry, now in the Philippines, among
other things johnson tells of an ex-
periepce in the trenches. "On the night
Of the goth of April, about 1O:3 30 o'clock,
we were awakened by the outpost
guards firing. We were all ordered into
the trenches, and into them we got in
a hurry. We fired a couple of volleys
at what we supposed was the enemy,
but there was no return fire. After this
we lay in the trenches all night in a
drizzling rain. We had breakfast in the
trenches, and then we formed and went
out on a skirmish march. incidentally
we investigated the result of our shoot
ing the night before and found to our
surprise that the storm of bullets had
killed scores of small birds and had also
killed and wounded nearly a hundred
monkeys which had been sleeping in
the trees."-Rochester Democrat.

For Stout Women.

It has often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
should invariably renounce all of these
round wasted styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slenderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply a matter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
'round" styles, festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.--N. Y. Post.

AFTER WATERLOO.
Prussian Soldiers Were Seen Scrap
ing and Sitting the Ground
~ for Diamonds,

On ascending to the top of the emil
nence we came upon the French guns
scattered in various directions, evil
IDENTIFY in the way of being dragged to
the Chaussee from different positions.
This attempt had failed, owing to the
muddy state of the plowed land and
the rapidity of our advance, which
obliges the drivers of the gun carriages
to flee for their lives by cutting the
horses traces. I perceive that some of
the guns had engraved on them Egal-
tie, Fraternite, and others the letter
'N;" many of the guns had the num-
Der of the English regiments which
had captured them chalked on them
a mode usually adopted in the pen
insula. The carriages were sunk in
the ground almost to the axle trees.
AS we proceeded we fell in with the
Prussian columns coming up from our
left, marching to join their army. They
began to plumber the biscuit convoy
most unceremoniously, and 1 had great
difficulty in preventing it. Perceiving
some troops to our right, I rode up to
them and found they were part of our
division-the Twenty-second regiment
commanded by Sir John Colborne
(now Lord Seaton), moving across the
country toward Nivelles. I applied to
him for guard to protect the con-
voy, but he refused it with some I'M
meaning excuse, and I was therefore
left to my own resources to get out of
the difficulty as well as l could.
The Prussians kept moving by us oc-
casionally, and I would most certainly
have been plundered by them of the
best portion of the biscuit had it not
been for the opportune arrival of de-
tachment of our German cavalry (the
Kings German iegion). The command
ing officer, seeing my dilemma, i'm
mediately offered some of his men to
draw their swords and accompany the
convoy, and thus we moved on to
Quatre Bras through Genappe. there
beheld, in addition to many other
debris of the French army, Napoleon's
carriage on the spot where it had been
overtaken and plundered. Around it
were Prussian soldiers scraping and
sitting the ground, in consequence of
a report that some diamonds had fallen
from their settings in the night scram-
ble.--Cornhill Magazine.

How to Make Ice Cream.

Where cream alone is used in making
ice cream one-half or one-third of the
used should be scalded, the
sugar dissolved in the scalded portion,
and when cool added to the remaining
quantity of cream. When cream is not
obtainable, milk may be used enriched
by the yolks of eggs, allowing four to
a double boiler; beat the eggs and sugar
together; add to the hot milk, cook for
moment, then strain into the ice cream
mold and freeze.-Ladies' Home Jour-

the point where they had allowed their
unabridged views on the subject Of
Uncle Roberts deafness to become
known to him; some people
young people especially might
have Stunned him, but they were not
SO binconsiderate. They knew that he
couldn't help his deafness, and that he
was of sensitive nature, besides be-
ing man possessed of large amount
of property, real and personal; there
fore, as they were a kindly family, they
bore gently and tenderly with his in
trinity. Nevertheless, it was not only
hard on the voice, but it faxed the in
ventive faculties to considerable ex-
tent. Matters of personal and pri-
vate nature were sometimes discussed
in the family circle, and it was too
much to expect that they should be
shouted SO as to be perfectly audible
to the people in the next fiat. In such
case the person required to shout was
compelled to substitute remarks on the
Philippine situation or the prices of
plumbing material or some other topic
