THE FARM HOUSE BY THE
STREAM.
Solon Good in American Farmer

Solon Good in American Farmer.
l am sitting III the silent shadows
OF the Farm House by the stream
And look out in the mellow starlig ght
While in memory | dream;
And AS the honeysuckle's fragrant
breath.
Is waited to my door,
Behold l live again historic days-
Glad golden days OF yore,
[ watch the stately queen of night
ascend
Yon jeweled dome on high,
Far over lofty trees whose ghost-like
forms
The midnight storms defy;
And fleecy clouds. so nOiseless IN the
air,
Cast shadows on the floor,
AS in my dreams in rhapsody live,
Those happy days of yore
within these vine-clad walls, soft
footsteps fall,
Shod with benignant peace,
without, on terraced hills the cooling
doves
Bring to the heart surGease
From every care, while fears take
rapid wing,
AS TO me DER and DER,
There comes the blessed glow Of faith
and hope
From gladstone days of yore,
Old years like morning dew have fled
But the farm house by the stream
Has added clustered vines with new
perfume
Through which the sun doth CLEAN
And the glad days of now are Just as
sweet
AS the years which went before,
For they have garnered up the ripen-
ed love
Sown in the days Of yore.

One million five hundred
thousand Russian children every
year receive their education in
elementary schools maintained
by the orthodox Greek Church.
The sum of 200 rubles, or about
$1O5 a year, Is the average
amount devoted to the mainte-
nance of school. Ninety-four
per cent of the teachers are them
selves uneducated, and one third
receive less than $25 a year. The
school houses are almost invari-
ably miserable huts, and many of
the schools have neither books
for the pupils to read nor pens
and ink with which they can
write. Nevertheless, the Russian
government favors the schools
maintained by the orthodox
Greek church far more than the
more efficient schools maintained
by the local authorities.

a Word to Teachers OfC"uutry
Schools.


Do the teachers employed in
country schools realiz" that
they can work might, revolu-
ton for goodS Many Of tre school
houses in the country ar insight
ly objects. That j. not the
fault originally of teachers, but
OF those who caused them to be
built In unsightly spots, or took
no pains to make them attractive
In appearance. If they remain
unatractive that will be the fault
of the teacher. Children natu-
rally love flowers. Most Of them
love to work among flowers, and
nearly all would with a little en-
courgement.
Let every teacher mark out
Hover beds around the school
house, and have the children
plant them with flowers, and
then cultivate them. Let a par
ticular bed be assigned to each
class, then generous rivalry will
arise to see which bed is best cul-
tlvated and cared for. Many an
instructive lesson can be taught
while cultivating. Botany is one
of the most attractive Of studies,
and with little art the teacher
can make each leaf, each flower,
teach ts particular lesson. Show
the children how plant breathes
why a plant grows in one kind
of soil, while another requires a
very different variety why one
requires great dealo water, and
another must have plenty of
shade; why one drinks a great
deal Of water, and another will
thrive on a very little.
Thus beauty and institution may
be joined. When a child goes to
school through bower Of flowers
it feels better, studies better and
carries home some of the taste
for the beautiful it has taken IN
on the way, and it will not be
long until flowers are cultivated
and home made more beautiful
thereby. Some one has said that
music is the great civilizer. In
this flowers will keep an even
pace with music.
If teachers do what they can
to beautify the surroundings Of
their school houses 1T will act as
a stlmulant upon those having
the charge Of the erection Of such
buildings, and better houses will
ba the result, erected upon better
sites. Thus the whole community
will be benefited. Children will
study better under pleasant sur.
roundings teachers will get bet
ter results for their exertions,
tn giving better satisfaction to
til parents.

The famous Chicago river is being
sold by the bucketful to soapmakers
That classic stream, the passing of
whose water by the city of St. Louis
moved the state of Missouri to go to
law with the state of Illinois for not
keeping its nuisance at home, affords
a lucrative employment to a number
of men. In the south branch above
the drainage canal they are kept busy
the day long scooping the top layer of
the stream off with buckets and put
ting it In barrels, in which form it is
sold to packers at the stockyards to be
transformed into soap. This takes
place in "Bubbly creek" which is the
name applied to that part of the river
into which the waste from the stock
yards empties through sewers.-New

OF the many thousands Of bodies OF
soldiers who are buried in Arlington
cemetery there is but one, and that an
officer. whose remains were not inclos-
ed in a coffin. The late General NJ. c..
Meigs during the civil war and for
many years subsequently was quarter
master general of the United States
army. Some years before his death he
had erected at Arlington a large gran
ite tomb. By his direction the sculptor
cut a place in the center of the big
stone exactly the size of the formers
body. The sculptor was pledged to
secrecy. nor did the general inform any
one of the fact.
When General Meigs died. his body
was incased i'm a handsome casket and
conveyed to the cemetery. When, how
ever, an attempt was made to put the
casket in the sarcophagus, it was
found to be impossible. and the under
taker had to remove the body from the
casket and put it in the sarcophagus
with no other covering than the gener-
ais Observation-Disclosures Post.
