7Sss Flight OF the Birds.
Esinoe the dim white light Of the mid
night moon
Rose up at the call Of the city's
clocks,
have bruised my feet on the stony
streets
For mile after mile of silent blocks;
And nov, when the first faint rose
of dawn
Has touched the world with new
delight,
I stand on the bridge Ger the broad
black stream
That has moaned for my soul the
livelong night
The moon grows pale in the dome
above
And fades and fades, like a wreath
of snow
On April banks, or ghost that melts
In air when the cock begins to
crow;
And the froth is green on the sullen
And under the bridge dead man
with sea-weed clenched in his rigid
hand,
And, pinned to his coat, wet white
rose.
How the pitiless glare of day re-
Veals
MY threadbare coat with its shiny
seamsI
Oh, where is the gold meant to
win,
And where the grave Of my rain
bow dreams
The halls of pleasure, the praise Of
men,
The warmth and the wine of wom-
ems lips?
*Twere best to follow the dead mans
rose
BY the low dark wharves and the
rocking ships.
Above my head is a whir Of wings
And wavering line in the blue
s. bright dome;
Their pinions tipped with the morn
dng's gold,
The birds of the air are flying
home
From the alien fields that are scared
with frost,
To the tropical gardens, slumber-
GUS sweet,
Where the myrtle leans to the roses
kiss,
And the lily swoons in the MINDLESS
heat.
Though fair are the lands to which
they speed,
Yet on with the birds would not
go;
But back to the woods from which
they came,
With the fires Of the sumach all
aglow.
Where the brown nuts drop in the
mellow Moons
And hide themselves in the with
cred leaves,
And late lone katydid chirps away
From sheltered bough in the sad
gray ewes.
i! birds that fly in the midst of
dawn
Over the city. did you see
A farmhouse old in purple vale,
Where fair little maiden prays for
me?
Would she take me close to her warm
white breast
If knocked today at the ivied door.
With my haggard face and my shabby
coat
And the ghost of the hopes that
are no more?
The birds drift over the azure rim
OF the farthest horizon, one by
one;
But sweet is the message they
brought to me,
For ! turn my face to the rising
sun,
Away from the lamps that mock the
day
With their sickly glare. and the riv-
er's foam.
TO the autumn woods and the maid
who waits
And the gray-haired mother! I,
too, go home!
-Minna Irving, in Good Literature.

ABOUT SERVANTS.


II you would keep servants, says
a recent writer, pay good wages and
always be punctual In paying.
Be liberal In the matter OF food,
remembering that good work cannot
be done on an empty stomach.
Never nag. When reproof is need
ed give it with firmness and without
fear. but kindly.
Give praise whenever 1t is due. It
Is well to acknowledge good work
and thus encourage good service
Never allow yourself to get familiar
nor in any way become involved in
the family affairs of the servants.
When things go wrong take time
to investigate before reproving, and
never scold or rebuke when angry.

Those expecting to be bothered
with the boil weevil sooner or later
should do a little toward getting
ready for it, by raising turkeys. They
are good weevil-catchers.
1t is far better to feed and water
ducks and chickens separately. Geese
fall in the same class as ducks, as
far as being undesirable where
chickens are fed or watered.
No kind of poultry excels the duck
In rapid growth and the small
amout of care it needs. The OBJ
lection often raised against them,
that they are nuisances ON the farm,
is true only when they are not fenced
out of where they are not wanted.
If Pekin ducks are raised, fence
eighteen or twenty-four Inches high
will confine them. To large extent
the Pekin has lost its power of fight.
Even its need for water to battle in

emit state of development-Fro

.AN APRON WITH INpTVTDuALITY.

AN APRON WITH INDIVIDUALITY
How much little dainty handwork
adds to the beauty of a garment or
accessory! saw a pretty little chat
ing dish apron the other day made
from organdie splashed with pink
roses. The corners were rounded OF
and then the apron was trimmed all
around with a gathered frill hemmed
on the edge.
A little individuality was shown by
a row Of pink silk French knots
set on the stitching of the hem half
an inch apart.
A narrow heading connected frilI
and apron, and this, too, showed the
knots on the edges. It was only
tri1e, but it added wonderfully to
the daintiness of the apron. Wash

MAY Cure Turtle Flesh.

There is talk in Queensland, Aus
ralia, on whose coast turtles are
plentiful, OF curing the flesh for ex
port. Three kinds of turtle are found
oiY the coral reefs-the loggerhead
the hawshill and the green turtle. The
two latter are edible, and the haws
bill furnishes the tortoise shell OF
commerce. Travellers relate that the
ibor.gines light fires on the backs OF
the turtles to make the shell peel on
EASILY. after which painful ordeal the
animal is allowed its freedom anc
grows another shell. This Is. OF
course, 8 Munchansen yarn. The fac,
is that after killing the turtle the
aborigines put it over fire TO facili
tate the removal of tie plates. The
professional tortoise shell getters
bury the beast in clean sand, and
when the flesh is decomposed 1t is
easily taken from the she'll This
plentiful green turtle is OF most value
for food.

deathbed. while Steunenberg had been
out of Office several years.
1t is reported that the Powers jury
stood ten to two for acquittal. Accord
ing to the story from Georgetown,
Powers came even closer than that to
acquittal. because one. of the recalci-
trant jurors agreed to go over to the
side of the majority if the other would
&C with him. The twelfth man refused,
and so Powers must be tried again
Bail has been refused him, and the date
of his fifth hearing set for July next.
BY many the disagreement will be re-
Powers. The remarkable feature of his
case is that he was so often convicted
before.
We doubt if there is another instance
in the criminal records of the country
in which a defendant has been three
times convicted of the crime of MUIR
der we doubt if there is another in
stance in which a defendant has been
tried four times. There must have been
very strong case against Caleb Pow
ers to make this possible. At the same
time, it must be admitted that the
probabilities are he will never be con-
victed again. Too much sentiment has
been worked up for him by misguided
people.
In the Pettibone case there was never
any doubt in the minds of those who
followed the evidence that the result
would be an acquittal. 1t is impossible
under the law to convict a defendant
upon the unsupported testimony of an
accomplice, and the state of Idaho abb
solutely failed to connect Pettibone,
except through the testimony of the
multi-murderer, Harry Orchard. with
the assassination of Steunenberg AS
men sworn TO try the case and a true
verdict render according to the law
and the a. evidence, the jurors were
bound TO acquit Pettibone. So ends the
proceedingS against everybody except
! Orchard, for the murder of Steunen-
/ berg
! For, the case against Charles H.

himself guilty of as foul a murder as
ever blotted the record of a state. If
ever life was forfeit to the law, the
/ life of Harry Orchard is forfeit.

its ticket by the substitution of candi-
dates Of a different political faith.
There were designations from both

~ Under our system of electing pres
idents of the United States, it is pos
sible for a candidate TO carry every
state in the Union by a tremendous
majority and still fail of election to the
presidency. For. there is no law that
compels the members of the electoral
college to vote for the candidate of the
party on whose ticket they were elect
ed. They have full authority in the
matter. They could elect one of their
own number and, in law. his election
could not be questioned.

Of such baseness would be driven out

The case we have suggested is admit

is possible And if members of as i'm

save the party law, how can courts
take cognizance of the action Of party
committees? In the case under discus
sion the committees are additionally
fortified by the fact that members of
their party have taken no part in the
court procedure.

test expected to override the expressed
will of the people. Their Only hope was
