Poetry Worth Reading.
Under Voices.

Behold the rose-the peerless one,
Sits laughing in the June day sun!
Her kisses wide around she
throws;
SO sweet and gracious her estate,
All hearts on her with worship walt
Eut bark! A murmur upward
grows;
1t takes the wave of summer air,
II gathers increase everywhere.
And to the dim horizon flows;
we grass-we wild flowers of the
plain.
We lowly are, that thou mayst reign
We are--that thou mayst be The
Rose!"
Now, while this lcgionary sound
The leafy commonwealth flowed
round
An Under Voice, in kindred tone.
Was borne from out Lies garden
close.
From hearts unnumbered It arose;
From spirit unto spirit blown.
softly imperious 1t came.
Seeking the Great In deed and fame;
I'VE win no trophies, mount no
throne;
Drt foil your gifts, your yNlor bright;
Wa arc the Dark; ye are the Light
We are-that ye may shine alonc!"
Craftsman Of song-whoe'or thou
art
The Under Voice beats on thy neaft
Crying: mo truth that thou mayss
bring
Divinely to our waiting ears,
(Whether it be full joy or tears)
To us can come an alien thing
By our humanity impelled
Thy thought to utterance is swelled,
AS draws the river from its spring:
We, though an unregarded throngr
Are still thy fostering source Of
song
And we are mute that thou mayst
sing"

Cows Horn Is Useful.

Scientifically cows horn Is a COM
bination of phosphate of lime, gela-
tin and albumen, and, like all ma
lures products, the ingredients are
in the right proportions to make the
article useful to man, as we'll as to
the animal that bears it.
The lime makes the horn hard, but
there Is just enough lime to make 1t
hard without making it brittle, and
there is just enough gelatin to make
the horn easy to cut and shape.
The core of the horn is bone and
to get that out the horn is soaked
In water for several weeks. When
the core is taken out it is ground up
and made into crucibles which are
used for melting gold and silver in.
The outer end of the horn is hard
and solid and that is used for maxi
ing knife handles and other things.
The hollow part of the horr is soak
ed for half an hour or SO in boiling
water. when it becomes soft and may
easily be split with a knife.
1t Is then spread out fiat and put
between iron plates. There Is q
time when these horn plates are
made very thin by hard pressure,
and used in windows and lanterns as
we now use glass. They may be
made quite translucent.
When horn Is heated 1t may be
nodded into almost any desired form.
That is the way knife handles, but
tons and other articles are made

ends take two pieces of 2x12 each
plank 8 feet long. About three in
ches from each end of the two sides
cut groove across inch wide and
"a inches deep for the end of the
sides to fit. Holes should be bored
at top ana bottom for half inch bolts
across the ends to hold the sides
In position.
The bottom of the vat is made of
sheet iron nailed to the bottom and
on to the vat The vat should be
long fasten at top and, also. should
be wide enough to come around both
ends and enough to come up the
sides for two or three inches. Three
irnos i2 inches thick and one inch
wide are passed under the tank and
used to support the bottom. They
are shown at A. A. A. These should
come up at least four inches at the
side.
A trench s feet long, 20 inches
wide, 10 inches deep, should be dug
and the vat placed over it. The
trench should be dug so that the
WIND has. a straight draft under the
vat. Fill the vat two-thirds full of
water. The scraping bench should
be set against the side of the vat.
Light chains each about s feet
long are used to lower and raise the
hog into the water. These chains
should be fastened at the edge of the
scraping bench and should be placed
about 2 feet inches apart. BY
placing these chains above the vat
the hog can be lowered into the
water and when scalded can be
readily emoved.-Prairie Farmer.
