O. s This offer will not appear again Write for smbmr seed and Catalogue at once. Do not neglect or delay
Auf Wiedersehen.

Until we meet again, that is the meaning
OF the familiar words, that men repeat
AT the parting in the street.
All yes. till then, but when death inter-
vening
Rends us %asunder, with what ceaseless
pain
We wait for the again.
The friends who leave us do not feel the
sorrow
OF parting. as we feel ii, who must stay
Lamenting day by day,
And knowing, when we wake upon the
morrow,
We shall not find in the accustomed place
The one beloved face.
It were a double grief, If the departed.
Being released from earth, should still
A sense of earthly pain:
It were a double grief, II the true-hearted.
Remember US no more.
Believing, In the midst Of our affections,
That death is a beginning not an end,
We cry to them, n send
Farewells. that better might be called
predictions,
Being. foreshadowings Of the future,
Into the a s Unknown.
Faith overleaps the confines of our reason,
And II by faith, as in old times was said,
Women received their dead
Raised up to life. then only for a season
Our partings are, nor shall we wait in
vain
Until we meet again.

RoosEvELTs IMPRESSIONS OF
THE AFRICAN GAME COUNTRY

Next morning we were In the game
country, and as we sat on the seat
over the cowcatcher 1t was literally like
passing through a vast geological gar
den. Indeed, ne such other railway
journey car be taken on any other line
In any other land. At one time we
passed a herd of a dozen or so Of
great CRATES, cows and calves. can
tering along through the open woods
a couple Of hundred yards to the right
of the train. Again, still closer, four
w~aterbuck cows, their big ears thrown
forward, stared at us without moving
until we had passed. Hartebeests were
everywhere; one herd was on the track,
and when the engine whistled they
sprang with ungainly agility and gall
loped clear Of the danger A long
tailed straw colored monkey ran from
one tree to another. Huge black os-
triches appeared from time to time.
Once a troop Of impalla, close by the
track, took fright; and as the beautiful
another bound clear over the high
bushes. A herd of zebra clattered
across a cutting Of the line not 100
yards ahead Of the train: the whistle
hurried their progress, but only for a
moment, n as we passed they were
already turning round to gaze. The
wild creatures were in their sanctuary,
s1iiu ticy h1cW IL. oOInc VI the SGltleTS
have at times grunbled at this game
reserve being kept Of such size; but
surely 1t is n of the NOSE valuable
possessions the country could have.
The lack OF water In parts, the preva-
lence of diseases harmful to both civil
LIKED man and domestic cattle, render
this great tract OF country the home
Of all homes for the wild creatures Of
the waste. The protection given these
wild creatures is genuine, not nominal;
they are preserved, not for the pleasure
of the few, but for the good of all who
choose to see this strange and attrac-
tive spectacle; and from this nursery
and breeding ground the overflow
keeps up the stock of game in the adj
jacent land, to h benefit Of the set
tier to whom the game gives fresh
meat, n to the benefit Of the whole
country because Of the attraction 1t
furnishes to all who desire to visit a
veritable happy hunting ground.

WINTER IN NORTHERN ASIA.
From, Harner's weaLly

The man who rows with the ~janitor be-
cause the fiat is cold, or sulks in the back
parlor all the evening because he has to
fix the furnace and build the fire for
breakfast in the kitchen stove, ought to
be sentenced to a winter in northwestern
Asia. He would come back with an ap-
probation of his mercies.
Throughout northern Persia. though the
summer heat Is severe, in winter there is
snow a. deep as In Canada and whatever
warmth anybody can obtain Is so much
clear gain.
In the first place there is no fuel worthy
Of the name. The wood, which covered a
great part of the country In the time of
Marco Polo and of Chardin, has disap-
peared almost as fast as the forests of
tie United States are doing, and the
smallest tuft Of timber on a Persian land
scape nowadays is a curiosity.
Some small amount of brusnwood is
brought long distances to rich mems
houses In the cities, but its cost is away
beyond the working people, and about
their only fue is made from stable sweep
ings, which are gathered and dried for
fire, when they should 60 to the fertiliza-
ton Of the land, an evil hat works both
ways.
In the Russian provinces, where there
Ia wood, iron stoves are used and the
windows puttied up from fall until spring,
but in Persia the heating appliances are
OF the most primitive. The fireplace is in
the basement or cellar of the house. and
a hole, perhaps a foot wide, is left in the
floor, to allow the e to ascend. Over
this, in the living room. stands a wooden
frame, which Is heavily covered with
rugs, blankets, and anything else that
may serve to hold heat, and through cold
winter lays the entire family sit with
their feet and limbs under this shelter.
propped up with big pillows, trying to
get the benefit of every atom Of warmth
the rude device will provide. The name
of this wonder Is the Kurisee.
Life and work out-of-doors in a north
Persian winter is a strenuous thing, but
spring on these uplands comes with a
rush equalled nowhere I'm the world, and
the happiest part of the Persian life is
when the Kurisee is not working.

THE woNDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY

nas Proved . Great success-Thou-
sands Say It's the Beat Thing
They Ever Grew.
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-knowu
scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands Of people say II
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well. known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt. says 1t is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says 1t
fruits a~bundantly even in pure sand.
In the short season of Northwestern
Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden
truck.
d. s. Hill, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. 8. Enochs, Hammond, La, Gays
it yields $3.50 worth of fruit per acre
with him. Mrs. j. II. Powers, 1872
Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio. says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
CAL, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. 7. Davis, Enon, Va, says 1t Is
true to description in every way. and
fruits in three months from seed. 5.
Judge Morrow, Of u. s. Circuit
Court. says the Wondesberry is sim
ply delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1875 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico. says 1t stands long, hard
droughts Of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t Is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
eve introduced.

Flies That Never Grow.

The audience of children at
the London institution the other day to
hear Henry Hilrs lecture on 1.-The Story
Of the Flies leaned more about the
common house fly in an hour than most
of their elders have dreamed of in a life
time. Very early Mr.. Hill ~dissipated one
popular delusion. las a fly he said,
the insect never grows. All the growth
is effected wnile it is in the grub stage.
The small flies and the large flies seen
about the house have never been smaller
and will never be larger than they are"
Then he told the children that whereas
a horse can shift a weight three times as
heavy as Itself, a fly can move GO or 20
times its own weight. It's compound eye,
too, has 1000 facets, about which there
are two theories. One is the mosaic
theory, which argues that a fly can see
only a part of an object with each facet:
the other theory credits the insect with
the ability to see the whole of an object
with each facet Of it's eye.
The pad Of the fy's foot beautifully t.
Illustrated on a ~screen) has 1900 hairs. each
of witch excludes a sticky gum. Thus the
fly is able to rest on the ceiling and crawl
up perpendicular objects. Another inter :
esting fact mentioned by MI. Hill was
that a fly never walks down a clean win
dow pane, but always up. On the other
hand, a fly at rest on a wall is always
seen to be head downwards.

Mother Niuht,

Eternities before the frst-born day
Or ere the first sun fedged his wings
Of flame,
Calm Night, the everlasting and the
same,
A brooding mother over chaos lay.
And whtrling suns shall blaze and then
decay,
Shall run their fiery courses and then
claim
The haven Of the darknes whence
they came;
Back to Nirvanic peace shall grope their
way.
And sounded is the hour for my long
sleep,
1 shall, full weary of the ~feverish
Light,
Welcome the darkness without fear OF
doubt,
And, ~heavy-lidded, / shall softly creep
Into the quiet bosom Of the Night.

He caught a little cold,
That was all. (Puck.)

Neglect Of a cough or cold often
leads to serious trouble. To break up
a cold in tw~enty-four hours and cure
any cough that is durable mix two
ounces of Glycerine, a h%alf-ounce of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure Whisky. Take a
teaspoonful every four hours. You can
buy these at any good drug store and
easily mix them in a large bottle.

Marvellous Cycling.
From Tit-Bits.

Once again the conversation had
veered round to thrilling adventures.
THAT reminds me of an experience l
had some time ago." remarked a MEM
Der. Il was riding a brakeless bicycle
down a steep hill when all of a sudden
the chain snapped and 1 careened down
the rest Of the hill quicker than creased
lightning.
The road down the hill took a turn
at direct right angles, and in the corner
of the angle stood a cottage. / was
wondering what the verdict would be at
the inquest when l saw a man rest a
plank Of wood against the caves of the
cottage.
II went straight for the plank, owe
the roof, and down the other side.
Luckily, the c%ottager's wife and daugh-
ters were shaking carpets, and, alight-
ing on an outstretched carpet, / was
gently lowered to the ground
A dead, dull silence descended on the
company, which was broken by the
kissing of a soda water siphon.

"Yes-entirely."

porter about the purse of $101 900 that

America. We look at money in such
a large way here.
Coming over in the boat I heard two
Chicago men talking in the bar.

her surroundings till she had gone
long way from MabePs grandmother's
home. Then suddenly some big drops
of rain splashed in her face, cold No
vember rain.
The day had been delightfully."- warm
for that time of the year and in her
vanity Lena had come out without
wrap. She had felt the chill of the
air on the way to Mabel's grand
mothers, but was determined to say
nothing about it, and thought that on
getting home she would run to the big
CRATE fire and get warmed through and
through But when the drops of rain
splashed in her face she stopped for
an instant and looked about her. Then
she looked overhead. The clouds were
SO heavy that Lena knew the rain
would continue for some hours, and it
would not be wise for her to stop at
any of the cottages on the roadside.
She must get home as quickly as pos
sible. So she set off at a run, the rain
coming down faster and faster. And
as there were no sidewalks at the out
skirts of town Lena was going in the
open road, which was becoming very
muddy Her hat and hair were drip
ping when she ran into her own home,
confronting her mother,' who opened
the door to her,
"Why, Lena!' was all her mother
said then. But there was a volume
of reproach in her voice and a look of
disappointment in her dear mother
eyes. Lena's heart smote her, but
repentance cannot wipe out the wrong
done. Together mother and child went
up to Lenas room where the new
frock, dripping and spoiled for wear
ing till it should go through the pro-
cess of cleaning and pressing, was
taken off her. Then the little girl,
suffering from severe chill, was put
to bed and doctor called. He said:
"She must remain quietly in bed till
Monday, and must take this medicine
three times a day. She has taken
very bad cold through this wetting
and must be, nursed carefully for
while"
And that afternoon while the party
was in progress at Gracie's home one
of the invited questioning to her
own naughtiness and vanity-was ly-
ing ill in bed at home, her heart too
heavy for her to talk over her dis
appointment to the patient mother
who nursed her and talked so lovely
to her that her conscience stalked
forth and upbraided her numerically.
