But all my pens and all my

For thinking of the way that Daphne
drives;
And DER her rosy cheek my poor
muse trips
For dwelling on her card of tours
and fives.

My way clear of this misery!
I'd love to write IA sonnet TO her hair.
So fair il is, so sunny and so soft!
No tresses sung by poets can compare;
But, oh, you ought to see that
maiden loft!
Confound it! there ! go again,
Most miserable l. of men,
And Daphne's smiles a very golden
ray,
Pom which cen Oberon himself

Night turns aside for bright and joy

When Daphne-with one stroke doth

Oh, tutt! What is the earthly

SMALLPOX TRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.

How the Germs Are Nurtured aud the
Disease Is Spread.
1T would seem that people Will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic, small
poX, throughout different sections of
the country has been traced by physi-
clans and sanitarians in many instances
directly to the moldy and rotting layers
of paper and paste which cover the
walls of many houses. The practice of
laying layer after layer of paper on a
wall, using common flour paste, is espe-
cially calculated to create homes for
disease germs. People could not do
more to effect such Il result if they
tried. The rotting vegetable matter
affords caves from which are ready to
dart forth the infection at every oppor-
tunity. There is no excuse for this
practice, as walls and ceilings can be
coated with pure. clearly and sani-
tary material like AlahaStne, for in
stance, at no greater expense Alabas-
tine is a rock-ba cement. which in
corporates itself with the wall or cell
ing. 1t is easily applied, comes ready
to mix with cold water, requires no
washing or scraping before renewing
or retinting, is beautiful, long-lasting
and safe
For walls that have been infected
nothing is equal to Alahastlne as n
disinfectant to render them pure aud
clean and the rooms once more habit

The above illustration shows one Of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this com
pany has been in business. Beginning
in "A small way, they supplied their neigh
bors in the nearby towns, each year
widening their field They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
ogue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size Of this
catalogue, until to-day il exceeds 1000
illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
Wear and Use, BY superior process Of
color photography they Illustrate many
OF their goods in natural colors, bringing
out the rich color value Of curtains, car
pets, draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper, etc. thus enabling the Gus
toner hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own fireside knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class Of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for it not only saves long and tircsome
railroad journeys but is a great time
saver. 1t leaves ont the profit of the
jobbiug house, the retailer, the expensive
commercial traveller. the general agent,
the sub-agent, and thus eliminates from
one to four profits, saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, il is a great
wholesale store brought to the home. The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a 10Th
century dictionary Of economy.
The Illustration below shows the recent
building added TO this great enterprise.

weekly issue stories similar to those
which had already won him reputation.
and they now attracted wider attention
than ever. His home at Allahabad was
with Professor Hill. a man of science
attached to the Allahabad College But
the continuity of his life was broken
by various journeys undertaken in the
interest Of the paper, one through Raj
putana, from which he wrote a series
of descriptive letters, called Letters Of
Marque": another to Calcutta and
through Bengal, which resulted in The
City of Dreadful Night and other let
tiers describing the little known con-
ditions Of the vast presidency; and, fin
ally, in 1889, he was sent off by The
Pioneer" on a tour round the world,
on which he was accompanied by his
friends Professor and Mrs. Hill. Going
first to Japan, he thence came to Amer
lea, writing on the way and in America
the letters which appeared in The Pho
neer" under the title of From Sea, to
Sea" and in September, 1889, he arrived
in London. His Indian repute had not
preceded him to such a degree as to
make the way easy for him through
the London crowd But. after a some
what dreary winter, during which he
had been making acquaintance and
had found irregular employment upon
newspapers and magazines, arrange
mentS were made with Messrs. Mac
milan & Co, for the publication of an
edition Of plain Tales from the Hills. -
The book appeared in June. Its success
was immediate. The reprint of Kip
ling's other Indian stories and poems
speedily followed, and the issue of the
new tales and poems, which showed
the wide range of his creative genius.

oats, and cabbage is practically the only
other raised. A couple of acres of
ground are left under these-and the
remainder goes to grass. Near the sea-
coast, the seaweeds, wrack and
liach are the chief manures emIlOved.
As the landlords domain in Ireland ex-
tends over the sea itself he has appor-
toned the rocky strand wherein the
wrack grows between the several ten
ants. Early in Ware february and
March,, taking advantage Of the far
receding spring tides, the men and
women, boys and girls are on the strand
at daybreak, and, following. the reced-
ing tide, cut down the WTack with big
knives and carry it to the shore in
creels. The liach, which grows in great
blades six and eight feet long, is got
on rocks far out to sea-rOcks that are
seldom or never bared-and it must be
gone for in boats and cut and pulled
with knives and hooks fixed at. the end
Of long poles
Further inland, where the cottager
has not wrack or liach, he burns the
land and manures with the ashes. As
most of the arabic land in. our noun
tains is peaty, it burns well after it has
been exposed to a couple of weeks of
dry weather. A few live Goals are laid
down. and the dry mound heaped upon
it. These heaps burn for weeks to-
gether. At the. one time there may be
from one score to four score such fires
in one little field; so, on a fine day in
April, it is not strange to see 1000 lit
tie smoke spirals curling up all over
the bosom of a small valley.
The spade is the universal imDle-
ment of tillage. In the odd instance in
which horse is employed for carrying
manure, he 'backlOads" Only-that
is, carries his burden in creels with
hinged bottoms. In the spring and in
the harvest most of the women have to
take their part in the field work-the
lighter parts of the work only being
assigned to her. Though in the dis
tricts where every able-bodied male
migrates for portion of the year to
Scotland to earn the rent, the women
must do both the heavier and the
lighter.

A bed, too, stands in the kitchen, near
from the fire, fitting into the outshot,

Outside the house to the left, and at
right angles, runs the little row of cat
tle-byres and the fowl house. and to
the right are built the turf stack (Which
contains fifteen or twenty tons of peats)

of bog-fir).
Attached TO the cottage are four or
five acres of arabic land, and in addi-
ton the run of some miles Of mountain

rental of $40 or $50 a year (Which is a
very great sum to the poor cOttager in

this land from his predecessor and paid
$500 for it: vet q lord who lives in Lon

papers published in the interior of the
country. For five years he worked
hard and steadily on The Gazette"
Much Of the work was simply drudg-
cry He shirked nothing The editor
in chief was a somewhat grim man,
who believed in snubing his Subordi-
mates, and who, though he recognized
the talents of the clever pup" as he
called him, and allowed him a pretty
free hand in his contributions to the
paper, yet was inclined to exact from
him the full tale Of the heavy routine
work Of a newspaper office. But these
were happy years. For the youth was
feeling the spring of his own powers,
was full of interest in life, YVES laying
up stores of observation and exper-
fence, and found in his own home not
only domestic happiness, but a sympa-
thy in taste and a variety OF talent
and accomplishment which acted as a
continual stimulus to his own genius.
Father, mother, sister and brother all
played and worked together with rare
combination of sympathetic gifts. In
1885 some Of the verses, with the writ

amused themselves, were published at
Lahore in a little volume entitled

collected under the now familiar title
Of Plain Tales from the Hills" made
their first appearance in The Gazette"
and attracted wide attention in the
Anglo-Indian community.
Kipling's work for five years at La
hore had indeed been Of such quality
that it was not surprising that he
should be called down to Allahabad in
1887 to take a place upon the editorial
staff of THE Pioneer" The training
of an Anglo Indian Journalist is pecul-
lar. He has to master knowledge of
many kinds, to become thoroughly ac-
quainIed with the dualrS OF the English
administration and the conditions OF
Anglo-Indian life and at the same
time with the interests, the modes of
life and thought of the vast underlying
native population. The higher positions
in Indian journalism are places of gen
