Lavender Leaves,

The waving corn was green and gold.
The damask roses blown.
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up drowsy drone.
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow.
Between 1t laid the lavender,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes Of gray!sh green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue;
An English garden, quaint and old.
She nevermore might know;
And so she dropped n homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow Sheet grew worn and thin,
And fell in many a shred
Some went to bind the soldiers wounds
And some to shroud the dead,
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw,
And Violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the roya! rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.

POLICY.

ia word of only half dozen letters, but it has a whole lot of meaning. Just now it's the s'policy'' of the police man to stop gambling for few cents every day, because those nickels and dimes if laid away would buy quite a few pounds of tea or coffee every year; just think of it, , cents per week for a year would buy half dozen pounds of health bracing, nice tasting tea. Isn't it too bad our cops cannot get after the gosh blamed beef trust and put an end e their 'spolicy" of rob bing the people? Then again, if the bluecoats could only get after the ''pol- icy" of doctors charging a dollar, in stead of 9 cents, for vaccinatSng, how many good dollars would have been saved by the people of Water bury during the past six weeks if such a policy" could have been enforced?

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.

at his destination in the evening, and
meeting some difficulty in finding the
address, was late in reaching the lat
ters apartments. After a long journey,
being hungry as we'll as tired, he asked
to be directed to the nearest restaurant,
preferably to one of the many Duval
establishments of which he had so
often heard. His friend accompanied
him to the Duval place of the neighbor-
hood, reaching the door just as it was
about to be closed. At that hour of
the night there were no substantial
yiauds to be had, except a certain
ragout au quelquechose, which the
young student accepted as Hobsons
choice. To his satisfaction, he found
his supper very appetizing, and, with a
glass of good red wine, he enjoyed the
meal heartily; the more as the charge,
all told, was less than two francs Well
pleased with his first prandiaI expert

The Ndacaroni wheats.

The macaroni wheats promise to be
of great service to American farmers
when q market has peen found for
them, either at home or abroad. AS
drouth resisters they are famous. NO
doubt exists among Investigators that
they will stand drouth and cold to a
far greater extent than the softer
American wheats. The varieties that
have been tried under hard conditions
in the West have given yields three
and four times as great as have the
ordinary wheats. This Is doubtless
due to the fact that they nave been
developed in parts of Europe and Asia
where only grains Of exceptional hard
mess can be grown.
These wheats are used in Italy for
the making Of macaroni. No market
at present exists for them in this
country, for the reason that the maca-
roni factories here do not use maca-
roni wheat at all in their product, but
use the ordinary American wheat. The
macaroni wheats are SO hard that they
cannot be ground by the same ma
chinery that grinds our common
wheats. Therefore the mills do not
want 1t. The owners of the mills
claim they are not in the milling
business from a philanthropic purpose
and so are not inclined to spend mon
ey for new machinery just to help out
western farmers.
