AMERICAN AUTHORS ABROAD.
Poe Is Thought a Greater Proph ed
Than in His Own Countr.

Poe Is Thought a Greater Prophet
Than i'm His Own Countr.
Many, If not all, of the standard
American authors are popular in other
countries. Some bear regulations that
would quite surprise their compatriots.
Edgar Allan Poe, for example, is
known, by the Gallicized name Edgar
Poe, to every well-read Frenchman, and
is ranked, in both France and Germany,
far higher than the other American au-
thors. Strangely enough, his poetry
is known in the translation nearly as
we'll as are his prose tales. He is pop
ular in England, though less peculiarly
so. In these countries not only is Poe
enjoyed, and has been SO for fifty years
past, but he has always been regarded
as writer of permanent weight and
of real standing in the worlds litera-
ture.
Longfellow's position abroad may not
surpass his reputation at home, as is
the case with Poe, but he probably pos
sesses the distinction of being the most
widely read latter-day poet in the Eng
lish language. Not only are his verses
known to every American reader, to
millions who do not know the works
Of his American brethren, but they are
household words in England and the
English colonies. Says the literary
critic of the New York Sun: There
are indications that his hold on SYM
pathy and his mastery Of the gentler
emotions will outlast Tennyson's."
Outside of his own language, how
ever, Longfellow is much less known
than Poe. The American poet who knew
so much of other literatures, and who
was so fond of translating them, has
himself been translated but little
Some American poets have owed the
rise of their regulations to the interest
they attracted on The other side of the
Atlantic. Joaquin Miller was admired
in London before New York or Boston
discovered him. Walt Whitman, too
won most of his early recognition in
England, and still, perhaps, has a
| greater following there than among his
fellow countrymen.
Lowell, Whittier and Bryant, on the
other hand, are but little read in the
''old country" though Lowell was a
popular celebrity there during his ten
ure of the American legation in London
and though he Is commemorated by a
window in the chapter house at West
Minister
Emerson, though famous, is thought
Of abroad almost wholly as essayist, moi
as poet. His verse seems of a charac
ter too intimately meant for his owr
countrymen. Fenimore Cooper's novels
| were we'll known In their day, both In
England and on the Continent; but to
day their vogue seems to have com
pletely passed by.
| There has always been British au
dlence for the American humorists-
notably for Mark Twain, of the living
men. and for Artemus Ward, Of the
earlier ones. And mention should moi
be omitted Of Charles Heber Clark, 9
writer who enjoys but little fame In
| his own land, but whose ''Out of the
Hurry Burly" and Elbow Room
published with the pen name of Maz
Adeler-had a sale in England that few
American books have eQualed.

FIRST AID FOR DROWNING.
How Uncle Would Resuscftate
Apparent Victims.

How Uncle Would Resuscftate
Apparent Victims.
Now that the bathing season has
commenced the life saving service of
the United States has issued directions
for resuscitating apparently drowned
persons, says the Washington Post.
The methods prescribed are said to be
/ more efficacious than those heretofore
employed, resulting In a more rapid
oxygenation Of the blood and restora-
ton of breathing.
The face of the patient is first to be
exposed to the air, facing the wind.
Water is to be expelled from the
stomach and lungs by turning the pa.
| tient on his face, having first separated
the jaws with a piece of wood and
placed a firm roll of clothing beneath
the stomach. Then press heavily on
the back over the stomach until all
fluid has been expelled from the mouth.
After this preliminary treatment
comes the production of breathing.
Place the patient on his back. Keep the
tongue out to prevent it slipping back
| and choking the entrance to the wind
pipe. Grasp the arms below the ell
bows and draw them up beside the
head, making the hands come as near
meeting as possible.
If there are two persons in the work,
one gets astride the patient, facing his
head. While the first man brings the
patients hands toward his sides, the
second, at the moment the hands are
near the ground, leans over with his
whole weight on his hands, the thumbs
In the pit Of the patients stomach and
| the fingers In the groove Of the short
ribs, pressing with great force as if he
were trying to force all the contents
of the chest out of the mouth. At the
end he gives a final thrust as violent
as possible.
If no assistance is at hand and one
persons must work alone, place the pa.
tient on his back with the shoulders
raised on a folded article of clothing.
Draw forward the tongue and keep ii
projecting just beyond the lips. If the
lower jaw be lifted, the teeth may be
made to hold the tongue in place.
| Next lower the arms to the sides and
press firmly downward and inward on
the sides and in front Of the chest over
the lower ribs, drawing toward the pa
tents head. Repeat these movements
| twelve to thirteen times every min
ute.
The limbs of the patient should be
dried and rubbed firmly toward the
body. When respirations returns, the
artificial breathing must be continued
| for some time. The patient should be
stripped, wrapped in blankets and put
| to bed =

Selecting the Brood sovss.


Some sows which have been good
mothers may be getting old and care
less. 1t is best to discard these. A
tried brood SOW which has fulfilled all
the requirements is worth keeping for
several years or as long as she con-
tinues to be profitable. In the selec-
ton Of the gifts, study first the dam,
giving the preference to those from the
large, even filters and from mothers
having the desired qualities. 1t Is we'll
to look to the breeding of the sire, for,
while the boar probably has but little
influence upon the number of pigs per
litter Of his immediate offspring, a sire
of large filters would be likely TO trans
NIT that character to his female of
spring.
Thow out the short, chubby gifts and
those that have contracted heart girth
or are narrow between the eyes. The
gilt most likely to make good brood
SOW will be well developed and yigor-
Gus, broad between the eyes, with a
good heart glrth, fair length, good depth
Of body and standing on strong legs
and feet. With such methods as these
in the selection of breeding stock, cou-
pied with rationa. care in their feeding
and management, writes George G.
Wheeler in Kimball's Dairy Farmer,
we would hear far less complaint of
the sort so common.

Who would have thought that dough-
nut would do it!
The high school girl was getting too
much interested in a certain undesir-
able boy, and the mother had the keen
ness to see it before it was too late.
The intermission at the school was
just half an hour long at midday-too
short for most of the young folks to go
home for lunch, yet long enough for a
good deal Of counting to go on In the
schoolroOm.
Mother mentioned at breakfast that
she was going to make a few dough-
nuts that morning for the home folks
lunch and suggested that grille had
better come home, as 1t was only two
blocks from the high school.
Grille came home that once for the
doughnuts, and mamma continued to
make just few for lunch each day I'M

Sowing Crimson Glover.

Crimson clover gives the best results
when sown in late summer, preferably
from July Is to Sept. 1. 1t is most
commonly planted In corn or following
a small grain crop. In the latter case
the land should be plowed and put in
good condition before seeding. Consid-
cradle difficulty is often experienced In
obtaining q stand of crimson clover.
Indeed. il is g common saying that 1t
must be scwn between showers in or
der to be assured of a stand. 1t Is I'M
portant always to use fresh seed, as
the terminating power deteriorates rap
idly. Ordinarily twelve to fifteen pounds
per acre are used, but good results have
been obtained with smaller quantities.
In some cases the failure to obtain
stand has been attributed to the lack of
incubation. In any event it Is always
desirable to inoculate the seed or the
soil before planting on land for the first
time. Even if a stand is only obtained
two times out of three, crimson clover
is still a very profitable crop to grow.
