THOMAS HARDY.
Noted Author Was for Many Years az
Architect.

Architect.
Mr.. Thomas Hardy reached Ills six.
| Iy-first birthday on june He be.
gan to seribble, as be says himself,
when he was 16, and IN his rIy years
hesappears to have acquired some rep
ltatlon as a writer as d caligraphist,
+ not as an author. Long before be
was old enough to understand much
about Cupid, he would write love-1et-
| ters for the village girls to their sol
idler-sWeethearts in India. He did
not, like Samuel Richardson, com
pose the letters, being merely an
amanuensls; but Mr.. Hardy ren1em-
bers to this day how he came to be
regarded in the illage asort at
Wrlting-machine. He remembers,
too, that the state ofeducation, as re-
Vealed IN some Of the letters, was pitt
ful. Calcutta, or Elsewhere was
one Of the addresses to which he was
told to write.
When Mr. Hardy began to write on
his own account, his first article ap-
peared in Chambers journal. Itwas
an old production, on How / Built
Myself q House., !, written when the
budding novelist was designing
churches with Sir Arthur Bloomfield.
Mr. Hardy was fond Of his first pro-
fession, and for 12 years he enjoyed
lt, becoming prizeman Of the ROYAL
Institution Of British Architects ii
1868. But by the time he was 80
1t had become clear to him that his
work lay among books rather than
houses and churches, and he relin-I
pushed architecture for literature.
after the appearance Of Desperate
Remedies. \ The sale Of this book,
which had been good at first, stopped
saddenly after a severe criticism
aroused, perhaps, BY the plain speak
ing on moral questions in which the
author had INDUCED.
Mr.. Hardy claims that his attitude
on questions Of morality has been
the same from the beginning. There
were many passages IN the first edi-
ton Of Desperate Remedies" similar
to those which have been objected to
IN Tess but some Of them were
eliminated to please the publishers.
Mr.. Hardy, who made up his mind
at the very beginning 6 to speak out 9
has never ceased to regret the elimina-
ton OF these passages, and will REIN
sert them whenever the book appears
il uniform collection of his works.
For 80 years he has received letters
OF denunciation from both men and
women, but he is quite nnmoped by
them, and his last book does not sug-
yest that he has in any way changed
ms mind on the propriety Of dealing
plainly with moral questions IN nov |
lis. He is reported to have said to i
friend not long ago that one book Of |
MS which will live is s Jude the OBJ |

SUPPOSE


Suppose and supposing that all Ger this
world
Each little girl cried when she had her
hair curled-
Me! Myt
What terrible cryl
Why, all the soft kitties would scamper
from fright,
And set up a-meowing by day and BY night,
And dear little doggies stop wagging their
tails
TO howl out the howiingest. wailingest
walls:
And wee little lambs in the fields far away
Would bleat and ba-a-a and refuse to go
play,
And their mothers would zcold them for
making a noise
And call them the naughtiest of little lamb
boys
But, there.
] forgot, i deciare
! see I'm supposing the wrong kind of case,
For my little girl, with a smile on her face,
Says: Please. do so want to have my
hair eurled.f
And OF course she is like all the girls in
this world

The GalIcninx White Hearse,

1t was In the dark OF the evening,
men and women Oh their way home at
the end of the days WORK. AT Thirty
fourth street, where Broadway and
Sixth avenue cross with q network Of
tracks, the usual clanGor of gongs. the
shouts of newsboys and the roar of the
elevated trains filed the air, while
myriad electric lights sparklcd like so
many stars.
Suddenly out of the gloom came a
little white hearse, bein. driven rapid
ly home. Its sad days work WAS over,
and the little horses were probably
anxious for their dinner. Still it gave
one shock to see them Gallcping so.
Even more pathetic it locked when
empty than with its precious little bur-
den. The very emptiness spoke of the
vacant little chair at home, the unused
toys, the unworn frocks folded away
for some woman to cry over on rainy
day.
Fathers hurrying home to their own
little ones felt sudden lump in the
throat, mothers leading their children
grasped the little hands with a quick
access of tenderness, and strange,
sad sense of loneliness came to the
heart of the passerby who had no child
to lose. Just a little white hearse,
seen only for q moment in the gather
ing darkness by the hurrying throng,
but what world of pathos it suggest
ed!-New York Mail and Express.

PROFIT I'M CALVES.
Opinion of n Georgia Farmer In Re-
gard TO This Matter.

gard to This Matter.
Many farmers with but two or three
cows that drop their calves at different
periods find II profitable to allow them
to run with the cows for three or four
weeks, says Georgia farmer In Amer
lean Agriculturist. They can he sold
to the local butcher at from to q cents
per pound live weight. AS they usually
weigh from 125 to over 100 pounds
each II makes sum greater than could
be obtained from butter made from the
cows during the same period.
Cows liable to infiamed udder are not
troubled II the calf is allowed TO run
with them continually. Feeding sever
al times per day. the calf does not allow
the udder to become full With Jer-
seys or other small breeds the profit Is
not so great, as the live weight at sell
ing time is nearly 30 pounds less than n
Durham or Holstein at the same age.
1t Is almost as much trouble to attend
to the milk from one COW az from two
or three. 1t takes just as long To lo the
churnlng and care for the butter. Hence
by the vealing plan this matter can IN
a measure be regulated IL the herd con-
sists OF several cows.

let all those with five or ten talents
migrate to the north star or the moon,
and this world would get on splen-
didly. The Woodworking, Industrious
classes of America are all right and
would give no trouble, but it is the
genius who gives up work and on big
salary goes around to excite dissatis-
faction and embodiment, the genius
who quits work and steps on the stage
or political platform, eats beefsteals
and quail on toast and causes the COM
mon laborers, compelled to idleness, to
put their hands into empty pockets and
eat gristls and gnaw bones. The world
would be nightly improved if it could
slough off about 5000 geniuses, for
there are more than that on our planet.
Then the Ism or woman of one talent
would take possession of the world and
rule 1t in a common sense and Chris
tan way There would be less to
amaze and startle, but more to give
eQuipoise to church and state and
world. ITO another one"
The most brilliant and many sided
man that ever trod this world, in my
opinion, was Napoleon Bonaparte, and
no man that ever lived did the world
more damage. l have read a book add
vocating him as a great emancipation
and reformer. l was not surprised at
the book, for l have heard of PAM
phlet in defense of Judas Iscariot. l
suppose it may set forth the idea that
he was out of money and needed the
30 pieces of silver, and the money was
not spent for himself, but to open re-
spectacle graveyard. l would not be
surprised to find a book In honor of
satan, the chief miscreant of the uni
verse. We all admire industry, and
there is no more Industrious being
than satan. But when man tells me
Napoleon was a reformer and emanci-
natnr would like to take him out and
