Famous Cradle Songs.

Perhaps the best known cradle song in English speaking countries Is Lucy Larcom's 'Rock-a-by, baby, on the tree top.' though Eugene Fields child verses and the songs of Robert Louis Stevenson are likely to be as generally adopted by another generation. So far they have been impermanently coupled with tunes that are not sufficiently simple. flowing or musical to be taken up by the people. GO to sleep. my baby darling" familiar ly known as Emmets lullaby ,is~ per- ihaps the most commonly sung in Ameri- ca of any late song of similar character.
 Barnby's Now the day is over," though generally associated with hymn collections. is. In fact. lullaby only second to the same composers Sweet and Low" Sir Arthur & Sullivan's "Oh, hush thee, my babie!" is another perfect cradle melody. The best music of this character lately produced is the Dream" music in Humperdinck's "Hansl and Gretel." which sooner or later is sure to be detached from the work itself and absorbed into the ranks of affectionately held cradle songs.-Harper's Bazar

Of Southern Poets.

The minor Southern poets share a rich ness of temperament, a freedom and courage of emotion denied to the ma jority of the New England poets, writes Hamilton W. Mabie in the International Monthly for February. They are natural singers, with a quick ear for melody of the, kind which instantly discloses its charm. They are melifiuous; they are, one and all. lovers of nature; but. with the exception of Lanier. they approach her through the feelings and sentiments and are content to describe her rich and tropical aspects. These inspirations are not deep. nor is their art broad and we'll sustained. Their verse lacks fitness and variety of thought. and is often over sensuous in expression. The verse forms used are few and simple. and there are abundant evidences of lack of artistic training.

Little Things You Can't Do.

A man cannot rise from a chair without bending forward. or putting his feet un- der the chair or outside of it. Many a man will back himself to give another a start of fifty yards in race of one hun dred, provided. the man having the start hops all the way. But no runner. how ever swift, can give that amount of start to an ordinary man. For the first five yards they go at practically the same pace.
 Therefore the runner. to go ninety-flve yards while the hopper" goes forty-five, would have to run more than twice as fast, and 1t would be weak man who could not hop forty-five yards at pace equal to twenty seconds for one hun dred yards, and that would mean that the runner, in order to win. would. have 10 beat all previous records.
 If a man boasts that his penknife Is particularly sharp. ask him to cut with bne stroke of the blade one of those yellow ribbons, most of silk, which are around bundles of cigars. In 999 cases out of 1000 the knife Is not sharp enough to do this. It will cut through all the ribbon except the last strand, and that will pull out long, and the more he tries to cut it the longer 1t will pull out.
 No one except a blind man can stand without support of any kind for i've minutes at a stretch, If he is thoroughly blindfolded, without moving his feet. If he does not move hfs feet he is pretty sure to topple over in about a minute.- An Exchange.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

der which California fruitmen labor:
'The fruit growers are patient and
Hong suffering. But patient endurance
rof wrong is no virtue. If they com
ib1i d as the transportation companies

would be better treated and would
make money. The railroads not only
fail to carry fruit with reasonable
speed to it's destination, though we'll
paia for such a service, but likewise
ifai! to provide refrigeration at moder-
att cost or even to break up the ex.
listing monopoly of refrigerator car
sery &c from this state which is blum.
dering the fruit growers to- the extent
OF hundreds of Thousand. OF dollars
yearly"
This refers to the growers of plrms.
,pe" rs and other deciduous fruits. Ii is
said that orange and lemon shippers
get better freight rates to extreme east.
ern points, though why this should be
so is not clear. AS Il rule the danger
OF loss is greater and the profits less
on deciduous than citrus fruits. The
citrus fruit men appear to be more
thoroughly organized and thus better
able to stand up for their rights. Who
can expect to sit down and have his
rights picked up and cleaned and set
before him by others Rural New
