SONG OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.

Blackness out Of the bl0ekncss,
Frcnted with dazzling light.
With demonish groan and vomit OF
hamo
It tearoth through the night.
Splitting the vale with mighty shrek,
Flying DER glints of steel,
With whirl by the edge of n prectpice
Or lunCe where the marshes reek,
Aud the ooze Is under tho wheel.
High In the air like n wounded bird.
Spanning tle trestle's thread,
Ere 1t plunged through the mountain Of
rock with roar
To glide by the river bed.
Ever and on like n haunted thing,
Trembling and crazed with fear,
With n fire at It's heart that is eating deep
And the speed OF Il dragons wing,
AS it crosses the plain and mere.
Black out of tho blackness,
Monster Of steam and steel,
Yet thing that is living and human as
man,
soul In the shaft and wheel.
Servant of man that abides his will,
Child OF his Drawn and brain,
1t has made OF the earth but little place,
1t has levelled tho granite hill.
TIL the ends OF the earth nre plain.

1t may be that a new fashion in
matrimony has been created in the
mountain Businesses Of Virginia. Not
long ago comely young woman Of
that region was wooed by two suitors,
one OF whom she preferred. An
engagement and marriage ceremony
followed in due time, despite the
adage about the course of true love
not running smoothly. As an net of
grace an invitation was extended to
the rejected swain to attend the mar
riage proceedings. He displayed his
fortitude by accepting, and, accom-
panied by number of friends, he at
tended. On one sleeve he wore a
broad band of crepe, symbolic of his
dead hopes, and throughout the cere-
mony he and his friends expressed
their dolorous sentiments by con-
tinuous, subdued moaning. This dis
play of appreciation for the brides at
tractiveness evidently aroused none
but the pleasantest sentiments in the
breast of the happy man whose name
she was taking, for there is 10 record
of a disturbance, and it is to be
assumed that none occurred. 1t would
be interesting to see this custom
transplanted to other spheres of SO,
ciety. The suggestion affords many
possibilities of variation, tending to
add materially to the interest in these
usually gladsome occasions.

An Elaborate Cloth Skirt.

Cloth skirts for spring costumes are,
many of them, most elaborate. There
is one design in blue serge that is par
ticularly effective and, OF course, par
ticularly expensive, as we'll. The
skirt is cut with a gored effect and is
very faring around the foot. Down the
front breadth at either side 60 three or
four lines of black braid. These lines
of braid turn and go around the skirt
about quarter of yard from the foot,
and above the three lines of braid is a
mass of braiding in narrow black SOU
tache and narrow black satin folds,
making the entire sides of the skirt
covered with braid in an elaborate de-
sign. This skirt is one of the French
models; has not yet become common
is very handsome, but has the disad-
vantage that it cuts the figure and
makes short person look shorter.
For ordinary everyday wear and a
useful investment the bell skirt is still
the fayorite, but it can be trimmed
with lines OF braid that start from the
hem at the back of the skirt, extend
ing up only little distance; in front
go the whole way as far as the belt,
but put on to meet in point. They
must not go straight up and down, for
that would give too square e look to
the figure; instead they must be put
ON in such a way that they give the eff
feet of cores, or, rather, follow the
lines OF The cores.

Planning For Sunday Meals.

Arranging the Sunday meals on Sat
urday is very essential, especially
where the housewife must do all the
work without the aid of servants. A
salad is great standby for Sunday
evening supper, and the fish, meat,
or eggs can be prepared the day be-
fore, and the cress, celery, or lettuce
washed and left in cold water ready
for instant use. Meat loaf is another
standard and palatable cold dish for
Sunday night. The chafng-dish can
be called into use for hot Sunday
tea. Omelets, hash, or other simple
dishes cooked on the chatting dish,
with buttered toast and tea, make a
desirable Sunday evening tea. For
breakfast there is nothing better than
Goldfish cakes and stewed potatoes.
The Goldfish balls can also be prepared
overnight, and it requires little work
to cook them up for an early breakfast.
This leaves only the dinner to prepare
for Sunday.
A delicate dessert for Sunday din
ner is made by boiling n pint OF cream
with quarter of a pound OF sugar,
and little lemon favoring. Mix this
with paste made of two teaspoonfuls
of corn flour, and let them boil few
minutes, stirring thoroughly. Pour
this over plate or bowl of mixed
fancy cakes, macaroons, aud strips OF
citron, raisins, and dried fruits. Make
successive layers of the cream and

In connection with the discussion
regarding the competition in trade be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, the English and American
Gazette says: "There is hardly q
branch of trade in which America does
not now compete with Great Britain.
She has developed her native talent,
which now finds abundant outlets at
home and abroad In every single
manufactured article that the States
produce England could, if she liked,
compete. That she does not is solely
and wholly owing to her not attempt
ing to do so. Her sons, badly edu-
Gated, are fonder of play than of work
her technical schools are in their in
fancy, whereas in the States ond in
Germany they are fourishing and of
long standing, and properly State
subsidized. Until England adapts
herself to the times, until trade strikes
cease, or until other nations are in
volved in war, so long will British
goods be replaced in other markets by
more of her competitors.

However resolutely breeder may

if he wants the very earliest hatched
chicks. Any one who has tried to get
hen to sit steadily early in the spring
for sufficient time to hatch out the

The broodiest hen after two or three
days on the nest will probably leave
the eggs and go to laying again. Yet
it is necessary to have the chicks
Matched early, SO that they begin lay

The Egg Producers.

1t is not altogether the chickens
that will produce the greatest number
of eggs year, but the breed that will
lay the largest number of salable eggs
between October l and April 1. In
other words, to make the poultry pay
we want breed that will lay eggs in
winter. This is not always considered
when we speak of the relative laying
powers of the various.breeds. Winter
laying hens are worth nearly double
the summer layers. If we can rear
up breed that will lay right through
the winter, and take rest in summer,
we would make more money than from
any now in existence. 1t is very in
teresting question whether such o
breed will not eventually be pro-
duced, for by artificial means we can
adapt the farm animals to almost any
thing. Then why not induce the hens
to lay exclusively in the winter? If
they once got into the habit of it, ma
ture would help to persist in this
course.
Experiments in recent years seem
to show that the best egg-laying
breeds are the Leghorns, Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes, and both the
Brahmas and Minorcas have dropped
to second place. This does not mean
that they are Improbable, but they
are not quite equal to the first three
strains for egg-laying. Moreover, the
three breeds leading the list are the
best winter layers. When kept in
good, warm quarters, exercised prop
erly, fed warm and producing
foods, they will lay more eggs per
week than any other strain of chick.
ems.
The past season has also demon
strated that certain branches of these
three great producing strains of
chickens have points of excellence
superior to any other. Thus we are
gradually getting down to the true
egg-laying chickens. The White Wy
andottes lead the rest of the family in
this respect, the Barred and White
Plymouth Rocks stand first among
the Wyandottes, and the Brown Leg.
horns first among the latter strain.
Thus we have the egg-laying families
pretty we'll defined. Starting with
these one has every chance to sue
ceed in raising chickens for their eggs.
These several strains or breeds
have scored an average of 200 eggs o
year each. OF course the birds were
selected, and the highest of their
class, but it shows what can be ac-
complished with good breeds and good
feeding. 1t is only by placing the
standard high, and then by striving
to come upto it, that we can hope to
make living in the poultry business.
Try to lop off all the dead wood, and
make each hen selected bird for the
business. s. Wilson, in Amer

With Adolphe d EMERY passes away
the last of the great French melo-
dramatists who were coeval with the
elder Dumas. 1t is not too much to
say that he did more to make the
drama of emotion by situation and
machinery widespread than any other
playwright. He was content if his
ventures paid largely, and let art take
care of itself. His 1.-TWO Orphans"
showed him at his best. His heroes

Marrow Toast-Buy a large shin
bone and have the butcher split it so
the marrow can be taken out. Boil
the bone for stock and use the meat
to make potted beef. Mix in hot
dish teaspoon each chopped parsley
and lemon juice, half teaspoon salt, a
grain OF cayenne and several drops of
lemon juice. Keep hot, but do not
cook away. Have toast prepared and
hot. Now prepare the marrow. Cut
in slices and boil in one quart salted
water just ninety seconds. Mix with
the seasoning, spread on the toast
and serve at once. all must be hot to
be good.
Broiled Vienna S.eak-Have two
pounds of round steak cut medium
thick. Mix together four tablespoon
fuls of salad oil and one tablespoonful
of minced parsley and minced slice
each of onion and half teaspoonful
of yellow lemon peel. Rub both sides
of the meat with this mixture and let
stand over night. In the morning
drain, but do not wipe, and broil.

broiled steak, dot over with a half
teaspoonful of butter broken into bits,
and serve on hot platter. The flavor

"Bath Chaps"-Bath chaps is the
fanciful name given pigs cheek
cured and smoked, though there is
nothing to prove that the title was
gained by the dish having been
particularly associated with the City
of Bath. They are an exceedingly
fayorite cold breakfast dish, and can
be procured ready for boiling from
most good stores and provision mer-
chants. They should be soaked in
cold water for couple of hours before
cooking. Put them on to boil in tepid
water, and boil quickly from one to
one and one-half hours, according ia
their size. Allow them to get cold in
the liquor. Then lift them out, re-
move the skin and sprinkle all over
with bread raspings. Garnish with

Long, close-fitting Newmarkets,
that cover the wearer from neck to
feet, are very popular for useful wear
during the spring for shopping and
travelling. They are double breasted
with revers collar, and are cut without
crossing seams on the hips. Very
light tan kersey is used for these
wraps, with stitched edges for their
finish and white pearl button fasten-
ings. Other long shapes of checked
cheviots have hoods or short English
capes to complete them, and there are
fawn-colored models with a pointed
yoke of the cloth and a stitched belt at
the back only.

band by employing him in that line.
1t has become very extensive in Wash
ington and all the cities of the East,
and in the West also, and is now re,
garded by rich and self-indulgent
people as one of the necessaries of
life. The fashionable physicians in
Chicago prescribe it as cure for the
grip, which leaves the patient weak
and enervated. Nothing seems to
take the spirit out of man so much,
and there is no inclination for the ex.
