Very Upsettinr.

There is a new office building down
town which might be advertised as
furnishing all the comforts of home
and some of the amusements of the
circus. The ceilings OF its broad cor.
ridors are made of large mirrors and
the pedestrian has the pleasure OF see-
ing himself in reflection walking fly
fashion along the ceiling. 1t is the
hardest on the employees who scrub
the floors. They have a bucket full
OF water upside down above them
all the time. 1t is useless to try to
pass through that hall without look
ing mp. In some respects it is as
good as trip to sea. \ Possibly ten
ants in that building will learn to
walk on their hands, and then at
least they will be feet down on the
ceiling and ready for any penalty the
laws of gravity may infiict. --NewYork
Commercial Advertiser.

Delightfully."- In balmy morn,
When dawn proclaims the coming day,
When softly waves the infant corn,
The robin sings his joyful lay;
And this is what he seems to say;
'Awakei Awakei
The dawn is on the lake,
Awakew
when slowly fades the starry night,
And ruddy glows the orient,
Low In the east the orb OF light
Sends forth Its beams magnificent
And sings the robin eloquent;
''Awakel Awakei
The sun beams DER the lakes
Awake"
The brooklet maunders In the vale,
And In the meadow huns the bee,
The squirrel sklps along the rail;
On swaying bough, high In the tree,
The robin sits and trlls with glee;
"Be glad Be gladl
'Tis useless to be sad
Be glad"
And when the summers sun Is low,
When shadows gather In the glen,
When cool the evening zephrys blow,
, When sparrows chat. when chirps the wren,
The robins song Is heard again;
"Good night Good night
And may your dreams be light;
Good night"

He Amazed the Boya.

An English clergyman was called
suddenly to preach before the stu
dents OF a well-known college. He
hurriedly chose out Of his "barrel" a
sermon, and without reading it went
to the college chapel. the congrega-
tion of which was wholly composed
of male students. He got along
famously until near the close, when
he amazed the boys by begin
ming his peroration thus: "And now
o word in conclusion to you who are
mothers"

Asparagus is one of the most deli.
cious rs well as the most healthful OF
vegetables and should have a place in
every garden, large or small. 1t is
very tenacious of life and will stand
almost any amount of neglect, but al
the same time there is nothing which
responds so readily to good culture.
When a bed is once started it is good
for lifetime. In fact 1t will not come
into full usefulness until it is five or
six years old. This should be remem-
bered when selecting the location
The bed should be so placed that ii
will not interfere with the cultivation
of other crops, but at tho same time it
should be in such shape that II can be
given good culture and kept free from
weeds. The most convenient method
for the farm gardener is to set the
plants in long rows so that they can be
worked with the horse.

Forcing Young Chickens For Market.

Forcing Young Chickens For MARKET.
A great many Of the young chickens
that are hatched every spring would
bring more money to their owners il
forced for broilers than IL allowed to
come to maturity. The secret of fore
ing is to give food that is cookedsand
that is easily digested. Steamed oat-
meal Is excellent for them, followed a
little later ON with boiled wheat.
Some meat food should be given them
occasionally, together with crushed
bone to help grind the food in their
gizzards. This forcing process would
not answer for fowls that are to be
kept, but il will put great amount Of
tender flesh on young chickens, that,
considering the short time it is done,
may be rs profitable as the eggs from
ahen kept until she is old enough to lay
