man, who had been hanging around
the Union Depot for several hours, at.

Harris, Saturday night.
The officer, always willing to lend
helping hand to the many unfortu-
mates that he meets every night, in
quired of the young man why he
mourned. To him the stranger told
his story.
He said that he lived in Springfield
and that he had made the trip to this
city for the purpose of getting married.
His betrothed had left Springfield Sc
veral days previous, coming TO Akron
with the understanding that he was to
meet her here and that the wedding
would take place as soon as he ar
rived. She had left instructions that
he should write her care of the general
delivery. He had called at the post
office and had learned that the two let.
ters which he had written had not
been called for. He had no idea where
she was and was waiting at the depot

on Saturday declared emphatically
that she would not go to the Home of

A sentimental Farmer.

"These sheep pictures of Mauve's are
beautiful" said Mr.. L., the art in
structor of the summer art school, to
his class as he turned over lot of re-
productions from tue great artists
paintings "They are so gentle, so ten
der, so suggestive OF pastoral peace
and quietude!"
"Oh, do love sheep" exclaimed one
of the girls. "They are so dear! Don't
you think so, Mr.. b.?
Mr. J.. looked thoughtful for a mo-
pent; then he said:
"My father, who was farmer, kept
sheep for 20 years. He was an old man
when he decided to give up the practice
an old man, but as full of sentiment
and feeling as he had ever been. i
shall never forget the day when the
purchaser of the flock came to take
them away. My father stood in the
barnyard and watched till the last
sheep had passed through the great
gate into the road, waited till the last
faint bleating of the flock had died
away In the distance; then he turned
to me with face full Of emotion"
There were tears in the eyes of the
"class," and their girlish hearts were
touched by the pathetic word picture.
Somebody said "Ahl' in long drawn
fashion "He turned to me, my poor
old father" the artist continued. "and

A writer in the Boston Transcript
gives this reminiscence of the Rev. DR..
Elijah Kellogg of Harpswell, Me-:
zone Sunday before his sermon the
doctor announced from his pulpit: The
widow Jones' grass is getting pretty
long. | shall be there with my scythe,
rake and pitchfork at o'clock tomcr-
row morning, and l hope every male
member of the congregation will be
there too
"The next morning they were all
there and among them Captain Grlggs,
six feet two In his stockings, with n
weight of nearly 250 pounds. Par
son. said he as they were working up
the field near each other, I'm goin to
cut your corners this mornin.'
'Now, DIR. kellogg was n little man,
weighing scarcely more than 13O
pounds, but he knew how to handle
scythe, and: as he told me, with n lit
tie shrug of his shoulders, he didn't
cut my corners that morning. More
than that, the man who had thought
he could beat the parson at moving
dropped under n tree exhausted from
working with such pacemaker."

Plant Life and the sunbeam.

Even in the brightest room plants are
never of so rich green as those grown
out of doors. In dark cellar no chic
rophyl is produced at all. Every one
has seen potatoes growing there, with
their long attenuated stalks and little
white leaves, which exist but for n
time and when the reserve material in
the tuber is used up wither away be-
cause they have no light. To produce
chlorophyl the light must be at least
of sufficient intensity that this page
may be easily read by it, and to act as
reducing agent it must be very con-
siderably stronger.
Every one has learned by sad ex-
perience how impossible 1t Is to keep
plants in their rooms for any length
of time, and the reason is that the light
Is not bright enough, and what there Is
does not last long enough to produce
the necessary quantity of food material
to support life. There is another fatal
thing to the growth OF plants indoors
viz, the dryness Of the air-and this
can only be overcome by covering over
the plant with glass shade. AS
plants die from want of light, so, too,
there are some which die from too
much. Many of the mosses which
cover damp shady walls and banks
with their soft covering of green vel
vet die from too great an exposure to
sunlight.-Good Words.

RIVER BOATS IN RUSSIA.

Nearly Every Known Means of Loco
motion In In Use.
Everywhere up the Volga and its
hundred tributaries ascend the iron
barges of the Caspian sea oil fleet,
while through the canals to st. Peters
burg alone pass annually during the
215 days of free navigation thousands
of steamers and barges bearing mil
lions of tons of freight Every known
means of locomotion is used, from
men who, like oxen, tramp the tow
paths, hauling the smaller barges, to
powerful tugs that creep along by
means of an endless chain laid in the
bed of the canals and minor rivers,
dragging after them at snail pace great
caravans of heavy barges.
From the greater streams immense
craft nearly 400 feet long, Is feet in
depth. carrying 6,000 tons of freight,
drift down to the Caspian, where they
are broken to pieces to be used as fire
wood on the steamers going up stream.
In all there are 5000 miles of naviga-
BILE waterways in the valley of the Vol
ga, or If the streams which float the
giant rafts that form so large a part of
the traffic of the rivers are included
the mileage is increased to nearly 49,
600, or as much as that of the valley of
the Mississippi.
Fifty thousand rafts are foated
down the Volga annually, many of
them 1G0 feet long by thick, and this
| gives but faint idea of the real traffic
of the river for in addition there are
100000 tons of produce passing up
and down the river during the open
season. Much of this centers at Mini
| Novgorod. To this famous market
steamers and barges come from all
parts of Russia, bringing goods to be
sold at the great annual fair, over
| S200,0O0,000 worth of merchandise
| changing hands in few weeks. Thir-
| ty thousand craft, including rafts, are
| required for this traffic. They come
from as far north as Archangel. as far
| east as the Urals, from Astrakhan In
