1 Did you ever wis [ the barnyard, hear the fowls. and see the great i turkeys as they walk forth monarchs of all they survey? The vain peacock as he sends hs shrill voice from his , high perch? Did you ever hear the old family servant call the hogs on q crisp December morning, and hear the echo n the distance? All this happened on that grand old place. And in this home it was not forgot ten in whose honor this day was eel elbrated.
 Christmas morning has dawned, Santa Claus was there in all his glory. the servants enjoying it as much as the children, for they know that something is waiting for them as no one was forgotten. The gifts were distributed. and dinner was an- nounced, and Oh what a dinner! The snowy white table with it's bright sil- yer set for the whole family, fairly sroaned under it's heavy load of good things. The turkey so brown, plum pudding, pickles, wines, eggnog, and numerous other good things. There was no cold storage on th's table Aunt Sophie had not forgotten what her '.chillen liked" Next came the tree for the servants, where the young master acted as Santa Claus There was music in ths family Of servants. Jim. with his banjo, Jake with his fiddle. and the young ne- groes with their voices. Fields mn- strels would have been ashamed if they could have heard these old plan tation melodies.
 Christmas is here again, war is at hand and everyone feels depressed. The table is as usual, loaded " tn good things, but there are vacant seats, the absent ones away fighting for their country. The dinner was left untasted, as We thought of the loved ones hungry and footsore. From the table We went to work, knitting socks and making clothing for the
 soldiers. The old servants would walk around and say: "0ld misses don't know what we gwine to do''
 Oh, the terrible news, Atlanta has fallen, and Sherman is moving and sweeping everything before him. Twas a pit;ful sight to see the old servants sitting around, not know ,pg what to do but just as loyal as could be to their masters.
 Another Christmas is here, but Oh, how different. The dinner was com posed of few potatoes, cornbread, fat meat begged from Sherman's men, stray chicken that outran the sol diers.
 Desolation and ruin rested on every thing. The home left standing. that

MlIton,s Natural History.

The pigeons that found nesting
places in st. PauPs cathedral were
probably the only species OF bird with
which Milton was familiar in his early
years-unless we make an exception
Of the ubiquitous sparrow. He went
in his seventeenth year to Cambridge,
where he made acquaintance with the
sedgy fats of the Cam and took as
much interest in birds and flowers,
beasts and trees as his greater inter
est at that age in literature and phi
losophy would permit.
But for him the most accurately
observant period Of life for nature
study was over--the period of from
eight to 16 years of age-and he
therefore fell into mistakes in his
use of imagery and description OF
natural objects. He strews, for ex-
ample, the laureate hearse Of Lycidas
with flowers that are not all in bloom
at the same season. he gives the
lark's nest thatched roof, and he
calls the honeysuckle eglantine.-
From the Scotsman.

One morning every child in the

The Band on the six Hat.

Lecturing on CLOTHES" before the
selbourne society of London, Eng
Wilfred Mark Webb said the band on
the silk hat had originated from the
habit Of tying band round shawl
placed over the head. while the bow
at the side could be traced to remote
ages. and was in its transitory stage
on Scotch bonnets and children's sail
or hats
All ornaments on mems hats were
on the left side, due to the fact that
in olden times, when it was frequently
necessary to use the sword, It was
obviously desirable that such decora
tions should not impede cut with the
weapon.

Capitol Briefs.

T. S. Ainge, sanitary. expert for the
state board Of health, who was sent to
Germany to investigate their methods
of preventing refuse from sugar beet
factories communicating streams, has
returned, but will not give out any
statement covering his Investigations
until his Official report is filed.
At the present time the state treas
ury is amply supplied with money and
this condition is likely to prevail for
some time, but before the end of the
fiscal year there will undoubtedly be a
small deficit as the total amount asked
for was pared down.
Something like 700 acres of land ly-
ing along the Manistee river in WEEK
ford county. to which the Muskegon
Light and Power company and the
Commonwealth Power company sup
posed they had title, will shortly be
offered for sale by the land depart
ment. The power companies, it is
claimed, purchased from the original
title holder while the state has acquired
title by reason of delinquent taxes COW
ering a period of about 20 years.
What price will be put on this land is
unknown but it is safe to say the
power companies will have to pay q
price much closer to the value Of the
property than they did in buying from
the title holders.
