Frank Stockton and Poetry.

Frank Stockton and Poetry.
Frank Stockton never could write q
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good
story on himself. In his youth in con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems, with which he af-
flicted the editors Of various Canadian
periodicals. The illusions always
came back. The editor Of one maya
zine was an especial target Of the
Stocktons, but as none Of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception Of good poetry. 10
prove their belief they hunted up and
dispatched to him an ode, little known,
by Milton. Within two days they re-
ceived a check and letter of thanks.
II came to the conclusion that that
editor knew poetry when he saw 1t
after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say.
and gave up trying to write it."

ARTISTIC JAPAN.
Rules Of Harmony Prevail In Even the

Rules Of Harmony Prevail In Even tn,
HumbIest Homes.
By far the greatest charm Of Japan
and her people lies not only in the
fact that the artists know the secret
Of the most wonderful carvings, cast
tngs. wood and metal work, silken
brocades and tapestries, exquisite cloi-
sonnes and porcelains, things for the
fortunate few, but also in the further
and more important fact that the
daily life Of the poor is surrounded,
permeated, interfused by taste and re-
finement. Even the workmen in their
gardens and homes are daily using
tasteful domestic implements which
are the outgrowth Of the thought and
needs Of the people.
The designs and proportions of the
humblest houses. exteriors and inte-
riors, are settled for all time by GER
tain rules Of harmony; the dress of the
peasant is not left to possible hideous
individual caprice, but follows estab-
lished canons Of color; cut and usage;
the garden, however small, the fence
or paling that walls it In. the roof
over the well, over the gate, the great
lantern that hangs by the door, the
bucket in which water IL fetched and
the bamboo dipper from which it is
poured. the bronze brazier for Goals.

JAD WILSON'S CROP.

A raisin' Nv tobacko
An a croppin' on the sheer,
An when each year was Windln'
up
1t was the same old thing,
He had as much at Christmas
AS he started with in Spring.
The expenses kept a climbin'
And his children numbered
more,
Oh, the Lord delights in sendin'
Lots of children to the poor,
But Jad kept on scratchin,
On his face there came no
frown,
But the price of old white hurley,
KEEP drappin' steady down.
And he wrestled with the
foX-tail,
And the creepe-vines and
weeds.
And the pussy and the cut
worms,
An the sweat stood out in
beads
On his bald head as he hustled
But no cheers came f1Oatin'
roun,
For the papers had predicted
That the crop would sell way
down.
In the winter when the buyers
Come a ridin' to his barn
With their hides all soaked with
Ticker,
Seems they didn't give a darn
If they bought it or they left it,
As they glanced the samples
o'e-,
I'VE will give you six cents furit
And a nary red cent more.
So Jad Wilson had to take it,
Twas three cents it meant for
him,
But he buckled up his girdle
An he faced the future grim,
Oh the little ones were ragged,
And their little feet were cold,
But the men who bought his
hurley
Grinned behind their piles of
gold.
Did you ever get to thinkin'
How conditions sometimes
change
How the under dog comes out on
top?
| don't know but its strange
The farmer didn't note the
fact
That he was such fool
Till he hoisted up the prices
By the riggin up a pool.
Jad Wilson was among the first
To take his pen in hand
And grace the contrac' with his
name,
Says he, "I'll take my stand,
An here III stay till Judgment
Day
A ightin' till | bust
The hand that's been a chokin
Here's one agin the Trust"
You know the fight and struggle
How they begged them to
come in,
How they shouldered up to to-
gether,
How they headed up to win;
And recon you remember
When the pool crop all was
sold
Jad Wilson'S little children
They wer'nt ragged or were
cold.
Jad bought parlor organ
And a white oak foldin' bed,
And the things he bought for
Christmas,
From tin horn TO a sled.
Oh twas Christmas in the cot
tage,
Happy voices everywhere,
And it seemed to old Jad Wllso
That the Lord had dropped /

1sneciaI TO The RuIletin.A

Washington, March 3.-Nearly three
hundred oystermen from New Jersey,
New York, pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Virginia, Maryland and Rhode Island
appeared yesterday before the pure
food and drug board of the department
of agriculture ana had an extended
hearing in relation to ffOated oysters.
The New Jersey oystermen were the
principal speakers, and they treated
only of the subjects of oysters in the
she'll They objected seriously to the
regulations of the department, which
go into effect May LIST, but which were
issued last October. These regulations
set forth that it will be unlawful after
that date to sell or ship oysters that
have been f1oated in brackish water,
or water containing less salt than that
in which the oyster grow.
New Jersey Demonstration.
The New Jersey men demonstrated
by practical examples that oysters that
have been foated in brackish waters
were really better than those taken
directly from the beds They claimed
kind at all, and that the new regula-
tons of the department would put
them out of business. DR.. Wiley ex-
planned to them that they must prove
the process of floating oysters as now
practiced produces an additional
growth of oyster tissue and not water.
This the New Jersey men claimed was
the result, but DIR. Wiley seemed to
have his doubts.
The chemist of the New Jersey
growers thereupon cut two oysters, one
that had been taken from the original
bed and the other that had been float
ed. Both apparently had the same
amount of water in them, but the
chemist explained that his analysis
showed that the foated oyster con-
tanned IL per cent. more water than
the other, and that the natural bed
oyster was all shriveled up as COM
pared with the fat oyster that had
been hoated. Both of the oysters had
been out of the water about a week
and were taken from the same bed.
DR.. Wiley seemed to have his doubts
as to whether the two oysters were
the same, but he was assured they
were and that the difference in size
depended upon the different treatment
they had undergone.
