The Birth OF Man.

In strange tropic forests he awoke
From the long brute dream:
In strange tropic forests that did TEEN
With golden insects and bright-plum-
aged birds,
With gliding serpents and the myriad
herds
OF eldrich things that crawl within
the dusk:
All odcroas the air of my myrrh and
musk,
And cloying honeys. camphors. fem
nels dense,
Pickle and pungence mingling with
incense
OF opiate decay;
While all the throbbing Cav
The warm forestways did thrill
With singing sound with murmur-
Gus hum
OF bees, and buzz and drone and drum
OF slim metallic wings insatiate,
Fittings of locusts and softthroated
trill
OF slow reptilians calling mate to
mate;
Aloft, scarce quivered by the torpid
breeze,
Swung leafy banners, and nightly
the trees
Were grit with climbing seekers of the
sun;
Below, the speaking shadows spun
Their lazy meshes, and drowsily did
play
Der sleek panther crouched TO
stalk the prey
That timorously advanced that fatal
way.

justice as exemplified in that state
Renney was on his way to Allan
tic City, and was running at a mod
crate rate of speed, when he was ar,
rested by an officious constable
charged with speeding.
He was indignant over it, and as
he had a speedometer on his car
was able to prove he was running
at normal rate.
The squire before whom he was
dragged seemed loath to let him go.
1T looks as If you had proved you
was running kinder Slow he said
reluctantly, but now look-a-here, you
was arrested for speedin', wasn't
you?"

the Squire. Somebody's got to pay
costs or buy the drinks, so Ireckon
I'll charge you five spot, but I'll
buy you drink out of it, just to
show you there's no card feeling.
Renney paid the FIVE and took the
drink, and declares that he didn't

Boys and the Farm.

And old farmers two sons were
anxious to leave the farm and work
cut their destiny in the city. The far
mer wanted to keep the boys on the
farm. Sc he sent them to an agricul
tural college, one to learn plant breed
ing and general agriculture, and the
other to take a course in animal hus
bandry.
The result of this experiment was
that each boy took a great fancy &c
his speciality aid great interest In
the knowledge of it. The science OF
farming is very attractive. 1t lets one
into knowledge of the beautiful laws
of nature, and gives a charm to all his
work. This is the way to knock oul
the drudgery of farm life and give on
broad views.
The agricultural college is today
our greatest public institution. II
takes much of the drudgery out oil
farm work by putting intelligence in
1t. The farmer is a real producer, the
real benefactor in trade and com
merce, and 1t is more sensible to en-
courage his development than that OF
any other class.
There is no kindlier fortune for a
boy than to get him interested in farm
experience. He may not attain to
great wealth, bat he is pretty certain
to attain to great worth.

the man in the street on mechanical
