A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has 50 much to
bear;
"A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch Of tangled

You feel the loving, trustful, tender touch
or warm, moist fingers holdlr~ yours

You do not prize this blessing overmucn'
You are almost too tired to pray to-
night.
I wonder now that mothers ever fret
As little children clinging to their
gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days
are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.

Or cap or jacket on my chamber hoor'
1f could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter In my home once
more;
II could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the

There's no woman in Gods world could

She was more blissfully content than L.
But, oh! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest has

At one time Gen. Powell was attack
ed by a superior force near Winches-
ter, Va. After eleven days hard fight
ing he found himself nearly surround
ed and out of ammunition. He had to
fall back, although every foot of
ground was stubbornly contested.
Gen. Early's whole army was advanc-
cut his way through the lines for re-
Inducements and ammunition.
Gen. Blackmar remained in the ser

engaged in. twenty-five actions, in
cluding Antietam, Chickamauga,
Chattanooga, Hunters raid, Lynch
burg, Chambersburg and the Shenan-

and served as such ten years under
four administrations. He has been a
member Of the G. A. R. thirty-six
years, holding many important posi-
tions, including that of Department
Commander. After leaving the army
he attended Harvard Law School, and
on his graduation he began practice
in Boston. He was a director and

Bank, is director and vice president

straw tick and fat feather bed placed
upon it.
"I'u get breakfast while you do the
chores; the boy will want to go ear
ly."
"Do you want-?" But she had
gone into the pantry.
When breakfast was over, Frank
said:
eff YOU think I've done enough to
pay for what I've had I'll go; I'm in
hurry to see grandmother"
"Im-Tm-that is, thought I'd go
over that way this morning; you can
ride over-its ten miles or more"
He looked at his wife, but it was
one of the times when she ought to
speak and would not, so he and Frank
went to the barn to harness the horse.
When they were ready to go Frank
went into the house. "Good-by, Mrs.
-" She did not tell him her name.
."Thank you for your kindness; I'll tell
grandmother how good you've been"
Before they were out Of sight Of the
house she was at work in the spare
room. She put blue and white coun-
terpane upon the bed, and tackled a
valance around it. Old-fashioned cop
| perplate curtains replaced the lace
ones; an old spindle-backed rocker and
| other old furniture were brought it.
| and she stepped back and surveyed the
| room.
"Therel Everything is just as she
left it."
| Then she went into the kitchen, sat
down by the window, and waited. Her
hands, unaccustomed to idleness, were
nervously locked together. When the
=, wagon came in sight she rose, trem-
bling. "She's there; so is Frank" she
whispered.
They stopped by the gate at the foot
| of the path. Frank sprang out and
looked toward the house. Mrs. Skin,
ner drew back and covered her face.
| ST can't meet her." she groaned.
Frank helped an old lady out of the
wagon and led her up the walk; she
was SO small, and her back so bent
that her head scarcely came above
him. AS she reached a bush of south
ernwood she stopped to pick sprig

said Frank, resolutely "She's my. own,
grandmother; she belongs to me-"
'sIts<time for you to go to bed; you'll
have to be moving early in the morn
ing and get to work, if you're going to
do such big things" said Mrs. Skinner
sharply, as she took lamp and led
the way to a small bedroom.
When she returned she took a seat
at another window and studied the
darkness outside After a while Mr..
Skinner said:
Il don't know as care what that
little squint of boy says; never heard
anything so foolish! Thinks he can
take care of himself and her, toor'
There was a few moments silence.
then he continued:
Il don't see as it was my fault, any
how. Twas all your doings."
There was a longer silence; then:
"You said you wanted her room, SO
you could have a nice spare room like
other folks, and you said she'd be
more comfortable over there, this
house is so cold and it costs too much
to keep a fire in her room"
He moved about uneasily, studying
her face intently. Then, with long
pauses between his sentences:
Anybody can see that he's used to
| work. He took care of the turkeys
and shut them up just as careful as
you could. You're getting pretty
rheumatic. He'd about pay their keep,
| now, and, by and by, more. 1 need
some help just now, too"
Again he waited for her to speak,
but she didn't.
"Why don't you say something, Su-
SAM" he demanded, irritably. "You
| always talk when 1 don't want to
hear you, and keep still when you
ought to have something to say"
I'm seeing things"
| "Sit there and look at them, then;
I'm going to bed," was his angry re-
ply.
In the night he was awakened by
the regular tap-tap of a hammer.
| what in all possessed is she do
ing?" he asked himself.
| He listened a few moments, then
got up, dressed and went to the spare
room. His wife was on her knees,
tacking a rag carpet upon the floor.
| "What are you doing? We had to
get along without butter and eggs, and
you skimped us on everything you
could, to get that store carpet and lace
custains, and new furniture. And now
you're putting the old things back"

Medical Value OF Spices.

In tropical countries, between lat-
tudes twenty-three degrees south and
twenty-three degrees north of the
equator, the inhabitants use spices
with their food as we use pepper. A
certain beneficial effect is caused to
the digestion; namely, stimulant and
carminative, says the Journal Of Trop-
ical Medicine. But there is second
ary effect, which is perhaps even more
beneficial, seen in the fact that the
volatile oil passes out from the body,
mostly unchanged, through various
channels, but chiefly through the
lungs and skin, so that in the tropics,
nature has provided antiseptics which
in passing out by the lungs and skin
kill the hurtful microbes which might
be breathed in and also prevent, to a
great extent, the attack Of mosquitoes.
If is a well-known fact that insects,
including mosquitoes, dislike volatile
oils, and will probably not attack an
individual using spices as a food ad-
junct. 1t is interesting to note that
snices grow where there is high rain
fall combined with much heat-condi-
tions under which malarial influences
prevail. The author quotes various
authorities in regard to the antiseptic.

SALMON IN THE FAR NORTH.
Aleutian Islands Waters SwarminE
with the Fish.

Aleutian Islands Waters SwarmtnX
with the Fish.
Reports of the Manning expedition
to the western Aleutiah islands last
summer, the full contents of which
have never been made public, give
glowing accounts of the prospects OF
salmon fishing in that part OF Alaska.
says the Sitka Alaskan. Capt. Nc
Clellan, who commanded the cutter,
found the streams Of Attu island and
other islands of the archipelago crowd
ed with salmon, and he believes there
is an excellent chance for the estab-
iishment of canneries there.
1t has been known for a long time
that salmon are almost as plentiful in
Northern Alaska waters, where there
are no canneries, as they are in South
eastern Alaska, where the cannery
business is most prosperous. 1t has
been quite natural, however, that the
business should be established first in
the places nearest market, and the
most readily accessible early in the
season. The climate Of the Aleutians
is entirely favorable, and it is believed
that capital will soon be invested there
to develop the fisheries.
It has already been demonstrated
that sheep and cattle can be success
fully grazed in the Aleutian chain, and
the general public is beginning to ap-
fpreciate the fact that most of these
islands are no farther north than q
point midway between London and Ed
| inburgh. 1t is claimed by some and
disputed by others that what the guilt
| stream does for Northern England and
| Scotland the Japan current does for
! the Aleutian islands At any rate,
there are many signs of a great com.
| mercial development in the western IS
| lands of Alaska.
A circular has been issued by the
Department of Commerce republishing
| the law governing Alaska salmon fish.
cries and giving the new regulations
| under that law. With one exception.
these regulations are about the same
as those in force last year. The change
| which was ordered some weeks ago,
| however, was of the highest impor-
tance, for 1t removed the restriction
| which made it illegal to take salmon
| in Southeastern Alaska waters before
the 1st of July of each year.
1t is expected, as result OF the
! modified regulations, that the catch
of salmon in Southeastern Alaska will
be greatly increased this season.
| The last section of these regula tons
providing for propagation of salmon
by cannerymen is, Of course, almost
impossible to comply with, and this
fact is appreciated by the fishery ex-
perts. The true view of the matter
was taken by the Jordan commission,
and it was recommended that govern
ment hatcheries be established. 1t was
declared that the cannerymen were un-
able to plant the required number of
fry in each case or to maintain the
requisite number of hatcheries. Con-
yress gave no relief at the last session.
however, and this section Of the regu.
Iations will therefore be allowed to re-
main in force for the present.
