The South Wind.

Wind that sings of the dreamy South
When the pale first blossoms WOO
the bee,
Wind that flings from golden mouth
Tender spray of the summer sea,
Wind that keeps for us light and
bloom,
That cradles the bird in the tree
top nest.
Wind that sleeps in the lilac's plume,
OF the winds of heaven we love thee
best.
Over the springing wheat-felds pass,
And over the small home gardens
fare,
Evermore bringing to grain and grass
And the flowers thy breath of bless
ing rare.
Give us the cup of thy wine to taste,
O wind of the South, so strong and
fleet!
Never a drop of its JOY to waste,
In the days of the springtime coy
and sweet.

The Suspicious Poreupine.

What is that far below me, facing
up the road? A four-footed ANNA!
of some kind. A bear? No; I raise
my glass, and see a porcupine, says
Bradford Torrey in the Atlantic. He
has his mobile, sensitive nose to the
ground, and continues to smell, and
perhaps to feed, as l draw nearer
and nearer. By and by, being very
near and still unworthy of the Great
ure's notice, I roll stone toward
him. At this he shows a CLEAN of in
terest. He sits up, folds his hands
or puts his fOrepaws together over his
breast,-Iooks at me, and then wad-
dies a few steps toward the upper side
of the road. Il must be getting out
of this" he seems to think. But he
reconsiders his purpose, comes back,
sits on end again and folds his hands,
and then, the reconnaissance being
satisfactory, falls to smelling the
ground as before. can see the tips
of his nostrils twitching. There must
be something good under them. Mean.
time, with my glass up, | come
closer and closer, till | am right upon
him. If porcupines can shoot, I must
be in danger of a quill Another step
or two, and he waddles to the lower
side Of the road. He is a vacillating
body, however; and once more he
turns to sit up and fold his hands.
This time | hear him rafting his
teeth, but not very fiercely,-nothing
to compare with the sound of an
angry northumberland at last, when
l cluck to him he hastens his steps
a little, as much, perhaps, as a pOrcu,
pine can, and disappears in the
brush, dragging his ridiculous, slop-
ping, straw-thatched hinder parts-a

or decision of character having bet

go, he is certainly an odd one.

In the simple manner in which the
Spaniards announce the news of a
death are illustrated the quiet taste Of
the Latins and the simple decorum
with which their daily lives
are ordered. AS the Illus
tration shows, the form Of
notice that is used is calculated to
warn the person who receives it that It
is not a message of joy. A letter car
rier whose rounds take him through a
place where a deceased person had
friends looks like hearse decked with
impressive trappings. The size of
these remarkable death notices does
not depend on the extent of the GRIEF
that is felt by the survivors, as cold
blooded Anglo-SaXons might think.
1t is established strictly by custom,
and every man who gets the attention

HAeITUAL DREAMS.
Nocturnal lmaginings That Become
Familiar by Recurrence.

Dreams" said a young PSF
biologist, make an interesting sub
ject of discussion. Nearly everybody
has two or three dreams that have
been coming to him once a month or
so for as long as he can remember
dreams that are as familiar as the
faces of old friends | have two
habitual dreams, one that is pleasant,
another that is horrible. In one | am
walking along a pathway in the
country and see a small coin lying be
fore me. | pick it up, and then
notice two or three large coins n
little further on. These, too, | gather
in, and now | am aware of a roll of
dollars, near it a roll of gold, and
move slowly forward pocketing coins
that literally pave the little country
path. suppose it is my over whelm'
ing JOY that wakes me up. In the
ether dream it is a bright, beautiful
Sunday morning. A street is crowded
with admirably dressed men and wo
men on their way to church, and am
moving calmly along in the crowd
Suddenly look down at myself and
with an indescribable sense of shock
perceive that l have nothing on
What can l do? How am l to escape
from this horrible predicament?
ask myself in agony, and begin 70
run, and every one loudly rails at me
as a man in real life would be rallied
at in such circumstances Those are
my two recurring dreams, and all my
friends have recurring ones just as
odd. "-Philadelphia Record.

FIGHT OVER TARIFF.
But Administration Is Said to Oppose
Any Changes.

But Administration Is Said to Oppose
Any Changes.
Washington, June IA member of
the cabinet who is very close to Pres
ident Mckinley, who frequently out
lines the administration policy by
authority and who is himself a tariff
expert made this explanation of the
presidents attitude on the tariff, in
view of the statements by Monsieur
Jules Siegfred:
| "President Mckinley is as much
pIotectiOnist as ever he was think
the tendency of the administration is
to oppose the efforts now being made
| in certain quarters for a revision Of
the Dngley tariff in the fifty-seyenth
congress. Senator Hanna announces
unreservedly that he is opposed to any
tariff tinkering. | think NJ. Siegfried
misunderstood the presidents state
mcnts that he was in favor OF tariff
| concessions to other countries which
would grant equal concessions to us
under the reciprocity clause of the
Dingley law, and l assumed that this

to change the tariff schedules. Now
the theory of all ultra protectionists is
! that a high tariff is necessary to build
! up the industries of the country and
in time, through the cheaper produc.
| tica. to so out and capture markets
in ether countries. This we are do
ing
The theory has also been that in
time these duties could be lowered.
No one would insist on the maximum
duties if the business and labor inter.
! ests of the country were not benefited;
but the president is not thinking of
| lowering duties. He is thinking about
how he can get the reciprocity treat,
les which have been negotiated
through the senate. He believes that
in cur present great industrial deyel-
opment reciprocity should 90 hand in
hand with protection. John A. kas.
son has negotiated y of these treaties,
but the senate has not taken them VI.
The one with France the president Is
as anxious as NJ. Siegfried to have
ratified. | hope l have made it clear
that it is not by tariff revision at this
time that the president would push
our trade abroad, but by mutual con
cessions through reciprocity"
Friends of the administration frank
ly admit that they expect a fight over
the tariff at the next session Of con
gress. They are very anxious about
it. This is shown by the continual
criticism of Representative Babcock,
who during the last days of the fifty.
sixth congress introduced a bill plac-
ing steel on the free list All the al.
ministration organs have been attack
ing Mr. Babcock ever since and he was
given so much attention because It
was known that he had a considerable
following among the republicans Of

tional committee. headed by Senator
Hanna. have been particularly active

at all may be sure that when he dies
he will be notified" to his friends just
as deliberately as the best man in the
country. The proper size for one of
these Spanish heart disease producers
is a double sheet, SX10 inches for each
sheet. On one side are printed the re-
marks which the survivors feel called
on to make. Then the sheets are
folded and the address is written in a
white space which has been left in the
middle of a mass of black. No person
can charge that he or she was taken
by surprise by one of these death no
tices, for they can be distinguished a
block away. 1t would be true econ
Omy if Spanish society would decide in
view of the war, to decrease the size
for there will be some demand fol

SHEEP AND THE FORESTS.
Reservations Not Injured Where
Grazing is Allowed,

Reservations Not injured Where
Grazing is Allowed.
Farley Vernon Wilcox in the Forum
says: 1t has been charged that weeds
and other less desirable plants take
the place of the native forage plants
when the native plants, including
grasses, are grazed upon continuously
by sheep. SO far, however, as the
writer's observations so in Montana,
the exact reverse of this is true; and
II may be stated as a general pTopo-
sition for that state that the continued
grazing by sheep brings about the
gradual determination of all weeds
except a few which are not regularly
eaten by those animals. In fact, this
matter has long been recognized by
number of the more prominent sheep
men; and several of these have in
formed me that according to their ex-
perience the only plants which had be-
come or could become weeds on the
range were those which the sheep
would not eat 1t is we'll known that
native and introduced grasses endure
continued close cropping far better
than other plants; and, as q result,
the grasses come to occupy the ground
as the other plants are gradually ex-
terminated by the sheep. In some To-
ealities the writer observed two ag-
gressive plants which were gradually
spreading; and, as far as they had ex-
tended they occupied the ground al
most completely. These plants were
a native species of plantain and chick.
weed, which were undesirable as for.
age and were never eaten by sheep.
Ii may be found desirable to limit
the number of sheep which are al
lowed to Craze in the forest reserva.

has concluded that the majority OF
