sentiments.


! o 0touch that rosebadl 1t will bloom
My lady fairI
passionate red In dim green gloom,


A JOY, splendOr, perfume,
That sleeps in air.


You touched my heart; 1t gave thrill


Just like rose


That opens at q ladys will; .t
Its bloom Is always yours until


You bid IL close.

BROOKLYN Argus: AS soon as the
baby's teething begins the romance OF
married life ceases. No woman can feel
any sentiment for a man who travels
around in his night shirt of a hot sum-
mer's eve, with squalling infant on his
shoulder. 1t is then that she stops call
ing him Darling" and descends to such
commonplace observations as "John
Camfre, be careful how you hold that
baby"


1T has been suggested by DIR. Turrel
that the rapid spread of the Phylloxera
or grapevine louise, in France, is due,
more than anything else, to the rapid ex-
termination of the small birds of that
country. 1t is well known that regular
discharge Ofguns is heard all over France
at certain seasons of the year, every per-
son who can hire or borrow musket
entering into the crusade, and that an
indiscriminate slaughter is made of
all kinds and characters.


Most people need all the strength
which high-toned public opinion can
give them to keep them true to their
conscience and their God, and that opin-
ion is partly formed by what we do and
are. Strive earnestly, then, to order
your life with a wise simplicity. Be
frugal in the shows and generous in the
substances of life. Set the example SO
greatly needed of wholesome moderation.
Show that you care for character above
all else.


SOMEBODY wrote to the editor of pa
per to inquire how he would break an
OK. The editor replied as follows: off
only one OK, good way would be to
hoist him, by means of long chain at
tached to his tail, to the top of a pole
forty feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by rope tied to his horns to an
other pole. Then descend on to his back
a five-ton pile-driver; and if that fails to
break him, let him start country news
paper and trust people for subscriptions.
One of the two will do it sure"


SOME situations i'm this world are too
dramatic for anything. For instance, a
man in Jersey City went into cellar the
other night to draw some cider, and stuck
candle into what he thought was keg
of black sand. He sat near it drinking
until the candle burned low. Nearer
and nearer the flame came to the black
sand, and drunken and drunken became
the man. At length man came in
search of him, and he got up, staggered
toward the candle, tipped it over into
the sand, and-it acas sand, after all.


In the reign of Peter the Great, in
Russia, the first national schools were
founded. Those pupils who had made
unsatisfactory progress were not allowed
to marry, prohibition which in each
case was duly notified to each archbishop.
This state of things, one would suppose,
must either have served the cause of good
learning or have diminished the matri-
monial lists. 1t was, however, paralleled
by the laws in German realm, few
years ago, where no one was allowed to
marry who had not been previously con-
firmed, 10 one could be confirmed who
had not been baptized, and no one could
be baptized who had not been vaccinated.


How Chickens Get Out Of Shells.


Take an egg out of the nest on which
a hen has set her full time, carefully
holding it to the ear; turning it around
you will find the exact spot on which
the little fellow is picking at on the inside
of the shell; this he will do until the
inside skin is perforated, and then the
shell is forced outward on small scale,
leaving hole. Now, if you will take
one of the eggs in this condition from
under the hen, remove it to the house or
other place, put it in box or nest,
keeping it warm and moist, as near the
temperature of the hen as possible
(Which may be done by laying it be-
tween two bottles of warm water upon
some cotton or WOOL and lay glass
over the box or nest, then you can sit or
stand, as is most convenient, and witness
the true mod@ 0perandi. Now, watch
the little fellow work his way into the
world, and you will be amused and in
structed as have often been. After it
has got its opening, it commences a
nibbling motion with the point of the
upper bill ON the outside Of the shell,
always working to the right (if you have
the large end of the egg from you and
the hole upward until it has worked its
way almost around, say within one-half
an inch, in perfect circle. 1t then
forces the cap or butt end of the shell
of, and then has chance to straighten
its neck, thereby loosening its legs some
what, and so, by their help, forcing the
body from the shell.-Americaa Farm
