A sorrowfuI Story.

A bachelor of forty grew tired of single He looked around a little and then an neXed q wife. She was a type that's common, was very nice and Drim, And filled with an ambition to have things neat for him. And so, soon after marriage, he found his things arranged: 1. From which it's very certain his mode of life was changed. His clothes were put in order, he found his slippers. too, With greatest ease at evening when the repast was through. Upon his varied garments the buttons soon appeared, And with a frequent dusting his divers hats were eheered. Oh, if l were to tell you the whole, 'twould take an age, And make these simple verses jut OCT the seventh page! But did the man enjoy it? An. no! grieVe to say He peaked and pined most plainly, was very far from gay. ssg. The strange, unheard of neatneSS so wrought upon his mind He died at SIX one evening and left it all behind. But ere he died he murmured to par ties standing near, T want this short inscription, and want !t chiselled clear: He had a wife whose goodness twas very hard to match, ~ And yet she killed her husband with neatness-and dispatch!"

BASEBALL CHARMS.

Baseball has charm all it's own. Last Saturday at noon promoter started down Wall street to take a steamer for British Guiana. With him was an Englishman who had never seen a ball game, having lived all his life on his estate bordering the Essequibo rfv- CT. The promoter was going down to buy from him for a syndicate a vast tract of forest land. ya g
 A pack of youngsters from Water street, chased by policeman from their native heath, began to play base ball on narrow Hanover street, just when the promoter and his friend should have been increasing their pace. So they stopped along with hundreds of others, from bankers to push-cart men.
 The field was a narrow one; the eight year-old batter faced the City Bank; right field was blocked by Brown Brothers, and left field by the custom house. The catcher's back-stop was the United States Lloyds building.
 The play was scientific. The English man was an apt student and joined in the roar as three-bagger into an iron shutter of the custom house cleared the bases. Then followed home run into an apple cart on Wall street; those who

THE HARDBREAD OF SWEDEN.
It is Truly the Staff of Life to the
 Peasants.

At IS 4EoIS Lhe StaLL OI LllE IO the
 Peasants.
 Hard bread, or ''hardt brod,'' is truly the staff of life in Sweden. Without it no meat would be complete. With sour milk and dried fish, it forms the daily food of the peasants, while thosa who can afford the white bread and rich cakes and pastries still call for the hard bread of their forefathers. >' >.
 In every cottage and farmhouse in Sweden may be -sen long pole stretch ing across the kirvS.cn near the fire place, and suspsnded from the ceiling by ropes hung from two large hooks. This pole is weighted down by what looks like thin wooden wheels. but which are really ''loayes" of bread, which are thus kspt dry and brittle by the heat from the large fireplace.
 As the baking day comes not oftener than once a season, one might easily imagine that the last loaves on the pole would lose their original appear ance of bread and be anything but in- yiting to the appetite. The Swedes, however, are extremely neat about their kitchens. The floor is kept secured and sanded. The family washing is done in separate room or building; never in he kitchen. Iaa fireplace, when cook ing is going on, is covered by 8 smoke apron which lets no smoke or odor es- cape into the room. The freshness and neatness of the peasant kitchen make even the hard bread appetizing.
 The hraad is ma fla hxT . VpTu cir a recipe. Rye four and watsr and yeast these are the only necessary ingredi- ents. Sometimes salt is added, but everything not yielded by the soil is q luxury to the poorer classes. Instead of the caraway seeds which the German baxlier puts into his rye bread, the Swed'e uses anise seed. EJ &
 The dough is made very stiff and rolled out like piecrust, not more than a quarter of an inch thick. It is then cut into large circles, about twice the size of an ordinary pis tin 4 hole is cut in the middle of each circle with--what do you think?-part of a cow's fornl By nature the Swede is economical and resourceful, and when cutter can be procured at home without any labor, why should he take the time to make one?
 The loaves are licted into the brick oven by means of a long, fiat wooden shovel, much like what bakers use here, hut the leaves are not put into pans, They bake directly on the brick floor of the oven.
 The bread bakes quickly, but as the usual oven doss not. hold more than five or six loaves, and dozens of Ioaves must be baked at one sitting" baking day sometimes lasts through two or three calendar days.-Detroit Free Prsss.

M0RE ETiDEACF.

New Haven people know something about oysters, and some New Haven people know a great deal about oys- ters. But the smart Japanese, who seem to know everything, also know much about oysters. It appears that the Japanese took up oyster culture long ago. Tt comes as a shock to our national pride" says the National Geographic Magazine for May, that the Japanese should have taken up oyster culture a century before our rla- tion was born and have recognized the most essential factor in successful cul- tivation, namely, individual ownership or control of the oyster bottoms, when we remember that in the most import ant oyster region in the world, within a short distance of the capital of the United States, the vital principles Of oyster culture are ignored and efforts to apply them are resisted sometimes by force os arms.'' Not only do the Japanese cultivate with great profit the common oyster, but they cultivate also the pearl oyster. They stimulate the pearl secretion artificialIy, with the result that every year they have 1,250,- 900 oysters under treatment and obtain annually some 25o,OO0 pearls.
 Among us the raising of terrapin is an unsolved problem, so that we are facing the extinction of the diamond back and of other less valued varieties. But the Japanese for years have been placing artif1cially grown terrapin on the market. Near Tokio a single farm markets yearly a crop of from 50,00O to 60,000 terrapin. Evidently we can learn something from the Japanese if we are not too proud:

THE DA1GEnou Us ruILIPrINEs.

The Hawaiian Islands are not so very near our mainland. and yet the Ha- waiian Gazette thus speaks concerning our still more distant possessions: God speed the day (when the Philippines may be given self-government), for the Far Eastern group is the most danger ous possession. except slave-hoIding States. which this country ever had. The archipelago could not be defended by us against nearby Power like Ja- pan; it may easily embroil us with rival nations; its ownership weakens the Monroe Doctrine, and puts us far from our military base; and free trade with it, which would have to come in the end, could not help but make grave economic troubles at home. What is there in the Philippines to compen- sate us for such dangers and such losses?
 If there is any little Americanism in this the Gazette evidently doesn't care. Many people on the mainland will hear tily agree with it.,

If Havana could be made by the United States safe place to live in, as it was, relhaps the Isthmus of Panama can be. Colonel Gorgas, who has charge of the public sanitation of the
 isthmus, says that he has hitherto been hampered in his plans by the canal commissioners who were recently re- ieved, and that preliminary work of
 establishing the means of preserving was repeatedly frustrated under a mis-
