And yet about the crazy door
And round the lettering stoop
Chambers and elinga a tendriled vine
in many a verdant loop;
And on that vine bright blossoms glow
And smile through all the day;
From every dainty how'r the bees
Sweet burdens bear away
The broken house-a ruined man
With blghted life and fame;
Soulwindows dimmed, furnished coat
A moro than furnished name.
The clinging vine, woman's love
Perchanco a mem'ry dear
Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world
Through all the changing years.

the Dexter National Bank and lived
in Cedar Grove, a suburb chiefly noted
for exclusive society Half the popul-
alton kept poor trying to cut wide

THE HOUSE MD THE VINE.

The house Is old-ila windows rackcd:
lts doors are falling down;
Where once the dainty tiutinvs were
Is now a faded brown
The steps are rotting: IN the porch
Great gaping holes are seem
The rool-tree's broken; with thick mold
The boards are fairly green.
The yard is filed with weeds and trash;
The walk IL crumbling fast:
The trees and shrubs are brokon-all
Their beauty are past.
The sagging rails tug at their posts
As though they fain would drop.
Aye all Is drear and desolate
From floor to chimney top.

There is a vice spread popular notion
that twilight in the tropics is very
bright and that daylight is almost i'm
mediately succeeded by night. Twi-
light lasts until the cum is about eigh-
teen degrees below the horizon, and
even in the tropics it requires more
than an hour for the sun to reach this
Oppression. Professor Bailey, Of the
Harvard College Observing Station at
AreQuiDa, in Peru, has lately printed
observations bearing on the point in
question, as follows: ION Sunday, June
25, 1890, the sun set at $50 p. m. local
time. At G he could read ordinary
print with perfect ease. At 6G0 time
could be told from q watch face. Until
C.55 p. m. Dearly a. hour and a half

Agriculture, far from being n minor
industry in this country, patronized
by a few gentlemen farmers and coun.
try housewives, is one of very promis-
ing growth. The agricultural product
of the country at present is estimated
at S20O00,O00 annually but this is but
u small part of the benefit which the
country derives as a whole from the
industry, since the part the bees play
in the proper cross-fertilization Of seed
crops and fruits = of inestimable value.
At present there is a demand for infor-
nation in regard to the diseases pc
culiar to bees. Whole colonies are
often carried away by contagious dis
eases, and epidemics occasionally oc-
cur that sweep whole sections Of the
country. A study Of bee diseases is to
be undertaken by the Division Of Unto
mOlogy during the coming year.

Some enterprising Danes, who es
tablshed diaries in Siberia, have been
met by discouraglng conditions on ac-
count Of the ignorance Of the peasants
there. Many dairies have been de-
stroyed by mobs, because it was be-
lieved that the Danes had been sent
there by the devil to turn milk into
gunpowder for the Chinese. Things
were made only worse when n drought
came, for the peasants demanded that
the dairymen bring rain by waving
their handEerchiefs, and when this was
not done they became so furious that
the Cossacks had to be called on to
dispense them. Siberia's most crying
need is tie establishment Of public
schools.
