O dollie, dollie, we cant go
Out doors In this hard wind and snow,
but In the house must play;
Now / as teacher will take part,
And you as scholar must be smart,
And good your lesson say.
No, no, I cannot have you cry.
Ill put you In this chair so high
Where doggie can not reach;
Now you must cay your A. D, @,
And not look blankly so at me,
Or else l cannot teach.
What. you have fallen down, o myi
And put the pencil In your eye,
d dear, what shall do?
No more school see today.
For how can you with one eye play,
And that one swollen, to.
Now TO the doctors you must go
Although the ground is white with snow,
And have an eye put In;
No careless twas OF you to fall,
And bring great trouble to us all,
. naughty you have been.

Cleaning sponres.

Sponges will not bear boiling, and
this fact has prejudiced many care
ful people against their use. They
may, however, be made almost anti
septically clean by being placed IN
boiling wafer to which has been added
a little strong ammonia. Cover tho
vessel and set aside for Is or 20 min
utes. Squeeze the sponge vigorously,
and rinse in cold water.

The Drlp Board.

A slate drip board is much moro
slightly and more easily kept clean
than a wooden one, yet is much more
apt to nick the dishes. A piece of cor
rugated rubber, such as is used for
doors, may be bought for trifing
sum and will obviate this difficulty.

Every head ot clover consists OF
about 90 flower tubes. each of

THE BAMBOO HAIR. ]
"A Slow but Sure Poison That II UseA
by the Javnncse.

"A Slow bat Sure Poison That II UseA
by the Javnncse.
The young shoots Of the bamboo are
covered with q number OF very fine
hairs that are seen under the micro
scope to be hollow and spiked like bay
onets. These hairs are commonly called
bamboo poison by the white men resi-
dent in Java for the reason that MUIR
der is frequently committed through
their agency.
When a Javanese woman takes a
fancy to European, according to an
official Dutch report, she will either
have him or poison him if she gets the
chance. She seeks any and every OPP
portunity of mixing these ininitesimal
hairs among his food, and they serve
the purpose Of Irritating the whole
length of the alimentary canal and set
ting up malignant dysentery. It may
take long time and many doses OF
this so called poison to effect the pur-
pose, but the native woman does not
tire. and death will surely result. The
male native will also try this method
of revenge for an affront.
The planters know all this and dreau
the bamboo hair, but it is always dif-
cult to determine whether the dysen-
terry is caused by the poison or comes
about naturally. When planter finds
himself IL prey to attacks of that COM
plant, Ills best course is to take a voy-
age to Europe.-Pearson's.

The greatest misfortune the Eagle can
conceive is to have a test come in the
state convention! Murphy had taste

the governor would gladly welcome ac-

vention that nominated him for gov
ernor declared on these same questions
and did it in manner that the gov
ernor would be glad to have them do 1t
again. While showing such anxiety for
the governor the Eagle should also
show little for the convention and the
majority of the party in Iowa.

is that holds up his hands.

The yinton Eagle has adopted the
role of apologist for the meat trust.
There are three things the Eagle will
go out of it's way to do-to critic1se
Governor Cummins, defend great cor
poration and-get an Office FORTS editor.
The Eagle declared last week that
Governor Cummins surprised the re-
publicans of Iowa by declaring for
free trade" The paper is edited by one
Is. Murphy, whose reputation for We
racity is hardly up to his reputation for
political voracity, but it does the gov
ernor great injustice. The governor is
as sound a protectionist and as good a
republican as Murphy. Reports from
al, over the state indicate that the gov
ernors Minneapolis speech touched the
popular chord as nothing has done it
since the deliverance of Senator Dolli-
yer on the same subject and in the
same direction at the Legislature last
winter. The governor is in line with
Deliver, Allison, Roosevelt and a ma
iority of the republicans in the house of
representatives in Washington.
The Vinton paper asks, in the atti-
tude of an old granny who is greatly
shocked, whether the governor is bring
ing in new conflict in the republican
party in Iowa. And Murphy's attitude
reminds one of the old lady as she per-
ceives the swifter pace that is being set
up by the younger generaton--a pace
that results only in her own confusion.
With palms afore the Vinton lady ex-
claims. "If so, does he intend that the
test of this conflict shall come to an

THE TIME TO PLANT CORN.

lWallace Farmer.l
The time to plant corn is when the
soil is warm enough to cause it to ger
inmate quick and strong, and the day
of the month is not particularly fac
tor at all. The old Indian maxim.
when the white oak leaves are as big
as a squirrels ear is as good guide
as the farmer can follow. That may
occur by the first of May in the latitude
of northern Iowa, or 1t may not. There
is latitude of about twenty days In
which corn may be planted; now which
never be determined until the corn is
gathered. solomon gave good advice
on this point when he said:
I'm the morning SOW thy seed. and
in the evening Withhold not thine hand.
for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that. or whether
they both shall be alike good"
Last year the tassels of the carly
planting struck the hot winds, while
the late planting We're the best. This
year is is quite possible that this NAV
be entirely reversed, as it has been
years before. Get your ground ready
and when the soil is warm enough,
plant, but Go not plant until your
ground is ready, even If the oak leaves
are twice as big as a squirrels ear.
The farther south, the earlier corn may
be planted; the farther north, the later.
Do not think about the first of May Or
any other day or month; plant as soon
as you can get ready after the ground
is ready. If you can not get the ground
read by the first of June in the latitude
of central Iowa, do not plant corn, but
plant sorghum if you are in the stock
business.
