OBITUARY..
John SholtO Douglas, Marquis oi
Queensberry, at London.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Marquis of
Queensberry who was born July 20, 1874, and
succeeded to the title i'm 1858, Is dead. He
was stricken with apoplexy at his club
the Raleigh, Dec. Is last, and steadily grew
worse until his death.
John Sholto Douglas chat is the family
name of Queensberry) was conspicuous
in England for many years as an "erratic
nobleman." He posed as an atheist and free
thinker, and was generally but ignorantly
classed as a friend of prize fighters. This
error is due to the fact that the marquis
invented the rules for boxing that bear
his name. But he did plead guilty to being
a free thinker. He resigned from the House
of Lords in 1880. On that occasion he
said:
This is perhaps the last chance I shall
have of making a statement before my
peers. That any human creature. be he
peer or peasant, man or woman, pauper
or millionaire, should be visited with pains
and penalties because of his or her spec
ulative opinion on a subject wherein but
few even among professed Christians are
agreed, is bitter satire on your Wanted
liberty. My lorus, 1t is the spirit that
lighted the martyr fires of Smithfield and
that led to the stake gallant and noble
souls Sucn as Bruno. 1T Is noble company
you are placing me in, my lords. and
shall thank you for IL. This spirit, had
il the powers which, thanks to the great
Inscrutable. il has no longer with such
force, would have visited upon me more
tangible proofs of the honor with which
my outspoken. fearless declarations OF my
unsympathy with TINS orthodox christian
ity has been received"
The marquis was fifty-five years old His
family is among the oldest nobility of
Europe, the earldom OF Queensberry hav-
ing been created In 1888 and bestowed on
William, Baron Douglas, descendant of
that Earl OF Drumlanrig who killed
at Otterburn, in 1888 (the second OF that
title.)

COMING HOME.

There's valley in the west world, and
river ripping free,
Ever singing in the sunlight as 1t hurrles
to the sea;
And I think of it with longing, remember
it with tears.
For the echo of it's music brings me Dack
the vanished years.
Sing thy song, 0 running river! am com
ing home to thee,
To the valley in the west world where you
watch and wait for me;
Fast as rushing winds can bring me and
a ship can cross the sea,
o my river in the west world! am COM
ing home to thee.
There's cottage in the west world, with
it's jasmine-hidden door
Ever open, as II waiting for my step to
come once more.
I can see it in my dreaming, though I'm
far across the foam;
For the heart finds many dwellings,, out
there's only one is Home!
Open wide, dear cottage doorway ! am
coming home to thee,
To threshold in the west world tnaE IS
waiting yet for me.
Fast as rushing winds can bring me and
ship can cross the sea,
o my cottage in the west Worlo! am
coming home to thee.
There's a true heart in the west world that
is beat ting still for me,
Ever praying in the twilight once again
my face to see.
Oh! the world is good and gladstone, with
its love both east and west;
But there's ever one love only that is sun
the first and best!
PRAY for me, true heart and loving; am
coming home to thee!
To nv old home in the west world and the
place that waits for me;
Fast as rushing winds can bring me ana
ship can cross the sea,
o my true heart in the west world! am
coming home to thee.

HINTS FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed the lambs. Feed them through
the ewes,.and then feed them from a
well supplied feed trough.
The condition of a flock is much
like that of garden. If the weeds
are left to grow it is all weeds.
It is waste of time and feed to
breed poor ewes, and to Gull the flock
is indispensable for the profit of it.
Selections of the best is the first
care of the intelligent breeder of a
flock. This is especially so in regard
to the fleece.
We cannot think or act too serious
ly on the subject of how important it
is that the shepherd should study the
nature of wool and know it's value.
We may take it as rule that the
lamb will pay for the food of its dam,
and leave the fleece for the profit.
The eve always stands for it's own
value.
One part of corn meal ground as
finely as possible, one part of bran
ground with the corn, and one part OF
cotton seed meal is an excellent mix
ture for the lambs.
Nature has no more to 90 with the
shepherds business than it has with
the making of clotl from the sleeps
feeces. At least it is so if the wool
grower knows his business.-Colman's
Rural World.

TALK TO FARM BOYS.
Conditions In Which They Are Reared
Give Him stability and Re&o.
lutte Character.

There is a desire on the part of many
boys raised on the farm to seek en-
ployment in the city. There seems to
be sort of fascination in city life, be-
cause of the greater advantages in the
way of amusements and education.
The farmer boys idea of city life is
that it is one of extreme enjoyment and
perfect contentment, and by COMPARE
son he thinks his own a life of drudg
cry. When he looks at and envies the
well-dressed city boy, he does not see
the temptations and evil influences
that surround him, nor think of the
effect of impure air and sedentary hab-
its upon the body. He is governed only
by appearances. The country boy is as
free as the birds of the air. He comes
under the most wholesome influences
and is not subjected daily to those aw-
full temptations which lead to corrup-
ton and degradation, those evil infu-
ences which work their way so quietly
and yet so surely into ones life. He is
in position to develop sound body
and a sound mind, and the conditions
under which he is brought up give him
stability and determination. He is ac-
customed to hard work, is permitted to
share some of the care and RESPONSE
bility connected with earning iveli-
hood, and when thrown on his own re-
sources is able to meet the stern real
tiles of life face to face, without timid-
ity and without fear of shouldering
any burden which may be placed upon
him. He may not have the polish that
mental training gives, but he is IA
miliar with the practical affairs of life.
One may become familiar with the
sciences, may have technical knowl-
edge of the classics, and yet have to
rely on his talents for livelihood. The
one who becomes acquainted with the
fundamental principles of the ruling
forces of the world is building on sub
stantial foundation. Upon the recog-
nized principles of right and wrong
hangs the success or failure of every
enterprise. The country boy is in
position to acquire practical knowl
edge at small expense, which will be
more useful to him than any amount
of ornamental learning. AS far as SUI
periority is concerned, it may be in
evidence in farmer as well as any
one. It is brought about, not by the
occupation, but by the organization of
the faculties, the absolute adherence
to the universally recognized princi-
pies of right. If it falls to your lot to
be countrybred, be proud of the fact
and improve your opportunities, which
will bring you to the height of your
ambition.-E. d. Hougland, in Prairie
Farmer.

Raising Pork ut a Profit.

My main business in summer is rails
ing small fruit. Generally keep three
or four COWS and sell milk i'll hot wealth
er. Used to buy a few pigs in the
spring and sell them when they would
weigh from 200 to $50 pounds in win
ter, and was surprised to read of men
selling six months-old-pigs weighing
200 pounds. That set "ue thinking.
November BOUGHT three pigs at
$l.5O each and sold them February 12
for $25 alive. Commenced feeding
three or four ears of sweet corn and
one-thirel OF a pail of skimnilk and
gradually increased their feed, mostly
sweet corn and skimmilk, for six or
seven weeks, then field corn on the ear
with milk for two or three weeks. At
last thickened their milk little witt
meal and bran and some cheap -four.
Once in awhile boiled few potatoes
for them for variety.-Farm and

A BITE IN THE DARK.
tion That Retribution Fol.
lows Shady Actions.

A young man whose work keeps him
downtown until the early morning hours
usually reaches home with sharp appetite.
His mother, an indulgent woman, too, puts
little lunch where he can get it, but this
frequently fails, to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this and she saves the larder
from wholesale onslaught by locking
things up, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Now, if there is one thing in particular
that this youth dotes upon it is jelly. But
jelly is an article of food that takes time
and skill in it's preparation, and if the lady
left her jelly jars at his disposal well, there
would be none to dispose of after a few
mornings. So the jelly Is locked up the
tightest of ALL
The other morning the youth let himself
into the house just as the gray streaks of
dawn were cross-barring the eastern sky.
There was milk and bread awaiting him,
but his soul craved forjelly. He determined
tohunt for some. Taking slice of bread and
knife he stole down cellar and searched the
fruit shelves. What happiness! He dmly
made out the outlines Of a jelly jar: Was
there any jelly in it? He dipped in his knife
and felt the soft and quivering mass. What
a joke on this usually careful mother. She
had actually forgotten to turn the key on
this treasure.
He drew out a generous quantity and
carefully spread it on the bread. He had to
do it largely by guesswork, because the eel
lar was almost totally dark. When the
spreading was done he smacked his lips
tightly and took generous bite.
No, it wasn't jelly. It was soft soap.

Exactinr Thirteen Guns.

An admiral of our navy. Old. crusty,
self-important, took great delight in
hearing a salute to his flag. The fol-
lowing story exhibits the man:
eve had entered port, and the old
gentleman was strutting up and down
the poop while a salute in his honor
was being fired. After - guns the fir
ing stopped. The admiral was furious.
He had been counting them himself. SO
had the quartermaster and the flag
lieutenant, both of whom agreed thar
only ~ guns had been fired. His salute
was 10. Don't answer that salute!' he
roared. Don't answer tit was only
~ guns!' Pretty soon, boat put of
from the shore, and an officer de.
manded to know why the salute hat'
not been returned. He was told. when
l receive the proper salute. shall an.
swer it. said the offended admiral. Ar
hour afterward solitary gun doomed
out. The admiral was satisfied as this
made the full 10. and the salute was
promptly returned Boost on Herald.
