Prates of courageous rendezvous With death on crimson field— And deeds of valor, glory, too— That gun and sabres yield; The flag above tfnd comrades nigh— The hand's proud, stirring air— So flames the blood that man can die Nor dread—nor doubt—nor care; Down to the gates of death they ride The sparks of courage sown. Panned to a blase and In their pride They olalm It all their own. For every man that trods the earth— Since time or place Is known— The woman’s soul that gave him birth Went to the gates—alone; No comrades she to do a share— No streaming flag to save— No crashing strain of fervent air— No colors rippling wave; Apart, with courage never known By braggart man, goes she— And fights the fight of love alone For immortality; Vain boastors all—In man's estate No courage half so true As hers—whose love leads to the gate— And oftlmes on—and through. —Kansas City Times. Church and Castle Go Far Back Into History The great bell in the church of Tong, Knglund, weighs 4,800 pounds, nnd the church itself has a wonder ful history. The church and castle have grown hoary together. The lat ter is said to have been the seat ofc lienglst the Saxon, whom Vortigern called in to his assistance, and hav ing been successful in his warlike en gagements, he afterward begged of Vortigern as much land as an ox hide would cover or enclose. On his request being granted, he cut the hide into strips and had as much land as it encompassed. Whereupon he built the castle. Burke says it afterward came Into the possession of the Pem brugges, and subsequently the Ver nons, by marriage of William Vernon of Haddon; it passed into the hands of the Stanleys. It at one time be longed to the last duke of Kington. In the church there are tombs of some of the knights of the manor of Tong. Among them are the Vernons, and It was Sir Henry Vernon who had the great bell placed in the belfry. He also gave u rent out of his manor of Norton for tolling It when any Vernon came to town, probably Shlffnall or Newport (Salop), and It would be hcafd at the White Ladies at Bosco ; bell. His Next Choice Gap Johnson of Ilumpus Ridge, growing tired of riding horseback the other day, dismounted nnd took his place In the bnck of Gabe Glggery’s wagon, which was proceeding toward town. Gabo possessed a vial, and he and Gap presently got into an argu ment which ere long waxed clamor ous. Finally Gap yelled a contention, and his horse Jerked back and dragged him out of the wagon. This occurred three or four times. “Say, looky—hie—yur. contaminate it!" lie yelled after the fourth fall. “If you don’t—hie—know how to drive any — by-gosh — better'n that I’m dummed if I wouldn’t just about as— hie—soon walk!"—Kansas City Star. Seaweed as Food Japan appears to be the only coun try where seaweed Is cultivated for human consumption as cereals nnd vegetables are cultivated In other parts of the world, suys London Tit Bits. It is said that some years ago, when portions of the coast were found to be denuded of marine vegetation, the Japanese government took the matter in hand and planted the devastated regions with suitable varieties, main ly red laver. A crop of this in good years is worth as much us £35 an acre. Still more profitable for seaweed farmers Is agaragar, which Japan exports in large quantities for the- manufacture of Isinglass. RIGHT UP-TO-DATE Visitor—1 suppose you have a clean-up week in this place? Native—Sure thing! Footpads and buudits nre putting one through now. All Set for a Smoke Werner Bauer, a farmer, of Eber buth, Bohemia, enjoyed smoking so much that in his will he requested that his pipe and tobacco pouch be buried with him. His wife honored his wishes, and added a box of matches. Worked Long Underground Thomas Davies, an octogenarian miner of Scotland, has just completed 73 years’ work underground. For'the last 43 years he has worked In one pit. Experience Unnecessary A spinster won the prize in a com petition at Ormeaby, near Yarmouth, England, for the test ideas on “How to make a husband happy." i fcM* “Home, a Fire, and You** . ll was late when she came tonight The table had long been spread. The candles had burned half down. 1 went 4® the open door— The street was empty, to me. Bo 1 sat me down to wait. And t was cold, so cold— Filled with a nameless fear. Just for a moment, there, I was weak with terror and dread. Suppose, I said, suppose— Oh. then the clanl: of the gate. The blessed rush of her feet! The door—the door snapped to. She gathered me in her arms, Straight and sudden and strong. Laughing, laughing and gay. And scolding me for my feare. I •'We are getting so busy!" she said. "1 wish—I wish you could see The work I finished today! Is supper ready? Of course! Mind If I light a fire— A warm, bright fire on the hearth? It Is getting colder tonight. Summer Is almost gone.” Kneeling, the laid the spark And kindled a leaping flame. . . , And a flame In her face leaped, too, ‘‘Isn't It good!" she said. -*• ‘‘Home, and a Are, and you!” Now, I am warm, so warm. Here Is the heart of my heart. She was late, and I was afraid, Hut she came, at last! And she said, ‘‘Home, and a Are, and you!” — Barbara Young in the New York Times. Mexicans Use Maguey Plant to Obtain Ice Durango City, capita! of tiie state of the same name in Mexico, which hovers on tiie border line of the Torr'd zone, provides Itself with one of the most peculiarly manufactured ice sup plies in tiie world. When the maguey, or century plant, has had tiie seven years’ growth necessary to bloom and its bud has been tapped for pulque, in most places It is destroyed. At Durango, however, all the plants arc assembled in one place, where the leaves are laid out with the cupping surfaces upward on the ground. Into each leaf is poured about two quarts of water. Although the tem perature is not low enough to freeze water in tiie canals or when it is placed In some domestic utensil, It doc freeze in the maguey leaves. The ice is gathered in the early morning nn<! put into the ice houses, built of adobe about 20 feet square and 20 feet deep. The ice is thrown in through on open ing In the roof and the' slivers mol i together, forming a solid mass. Later It is cut out and delivered to the housewives.—Grit. Bees in Odd Hive The school clock tower at Michehle ver Hants, England, is for some reason a favorite dwelling place for bees. For I at least 30 years swarms of bees have made the tower their home, and al though from time to time they have been killed, the place carefully disin fected, nnd the hole they have made in the clock face filled with cement, a fresh swarm 1ms always come every year and eaten through the cement to (he old spot. Last year, they swarmed on tiie window of the house opposite, and made their way Inside the wall through some otd woodwork. They were removed in the autumn, nnd this place also was cemented, but a new lot of bees have arrived and taken up the same position as the old ones. A bucketful of honey was taken from the house wall, and the honey found in tiie clock tower the last time it was cleared amounted to some hundredweights. Before and After An Irvington hoy came home from school the first day of tiie term, re joicing because he had been assigned to tiie room of his favorite teacher, a young woman who had been married during tiie summer vacation. A few days later lie had changed Ids mind completely nnd wished for another teacher. "What's the matter?” naked his mother. “I thought she was the one you liked so well,” “She was,” the boy said, "hut she must have got an awful husband be cause she’s as cross as a bear now.”— Indianapolis News. THAT'S WHY Patient—What's the sense in giv ing diseases such long, hard names? No one but a doctor can pronounce them. 1 Doctor—That’s the reason.

Parrot Chose Own Home Mrs. ltoy Morgan, of Tacoma, Wash., missed her pet parrot, which had lived caged in her home for 20 years,/ Advertisements failed to locate the missing bird. Later, when T. .T. Kendrick opened his chicken house early one morning he saw polly con tentedly sleeping, tightly snuggled be tween two Leghorn hens.

Digging in Bill’s Garden B.r CLARISSA MACKIE .-.— . ... (Copyright.) TIE winter old Mrs. Fair had the pneumonia and never recovered. Bill Fair’s ship was in port, so that he could come home and gladden his mother’s last hours. When It was all over Bill, almost broken-hearted over the loss, and with no near relatives to share his sorrow, though all of Sen port sympathized with the fine young captain, locked the house up and sailed on his longest voyage to the Far East. January, February and March passed, and on the first of April came visible spring. “Henrietta Morton," said her moth er severely, “what you been doing over to Bill Fair’s yard?’’ “Why, who told you I had been there?” “Mrs. Beazley Uvea next door— Isn’t it perfectly natural for her to notice you traipsing around Bill’s front yard, digging around? I re peat, what have you been doing over there?” Henrietta sighed. “Just poking around the plants, mother. I hate to see them dying with no one to care for them." “Humph!” sniffed Mrs. Morton, who as a flower lover herself could under stand her daughter’s feelings. “Of course after you’ve been teaching school all day you can't feel much like digging garden!” “It is a change of work. Of course 1 have not neglected our own garden.” “No, you haven’t—but, dear, the neighbors will be talking—they’ll be telling that you’re trying to attract Bill's attention. You know now that his mother’s gone the house is his and the garden, and you’d feel foolish If he came home with some wife and found you’d been making his garden." “She would be delighted, I’m sure,” said Henrietta coolly, “and as for folks talking about us, you know Bill Fair Is ten years older than I am. His mother was so loving about the flowers, always giving me a bunch when I passed by, that I couldn’t bear to have them die out. It would make the place so dreary for Bill when he comes home.” Laura Morton laughed good-natured ly. “I thought you didn’t even know Bill Fair, Hen,” she uttered. “Did he aver come to see you?” "Not exactly,” stammered Henrietta, and walked away very ruflled in her feelings toward her sister. She had noticed Bill Fair’s heartbroken glance at the little garden as he locked the house and went away; she was on her way to school and she was aware that he didn’t even recognize her, so few were his visits to Seaport, but she did realize that he would never see his mother pottering about the tiny front ynrd that always seemed overflowing with bloom from April until Novem ber. She did not want him to know who had tended the garden, but wunt ed the garden just to be ready to bloom for him. Capt. Bill Fair came home late in June. Oil the train from the city he found an old acquaintance in Lem Beazley. Lem Was full of Seaport news, but the captain was only slight ly Interested. He was dreading the moment when he had to walk up the path to that locked door and view the neglected garden. “S’pose you’ll be getting married pretty soon?” snickered Lem. “I see your best girl’s keepin’ the home fires burn in’.” Captain Bill stared. “Yes?" and im mediately changed ttie subject. But Mr. Beazley was persistent. “Henrietta Morton certainly is a nice girl,” he offered generously. “Yes?” queried Bill, and he went back Into the smoker again. “Now I wonder what he’s driving at?” mused the simple sailor man. “Seems I do remember a Morton girl—away back five years ago—I was a shy fish in those days—It was at a box social at the church, and they auctioned off boxes of lunch, and I happened to buy the one she put up and we ate It to gether! She was a little dark thing with big eyes and a dandy smile. We sat together all the evening, and she got real lively and pretty. I saw tier home—and never thought of her again!’’ Approaching the front uoor was not the trinl he had anticipated. Although the house was closely shuttered, the little front gnrden was spilling in fra grant bloom everywhere; roses, ml gonette, sweet alyssum, pansies and mountain daisies, ribbon grassy fever few, dusty miller, nasturtiums, sweet peas, marigolds, pinks—and last of all forget-me-nots, a great clump that flour ished In a deep corner. Tears came into his fine eyes, and he blinked them back and opened the door. When he came out again the windows were all wide open to the fresh evening breeze. He stopped in the garden and picked a great bunch of flowers, and some thing from every plant, tying the whole with a blade- of ribbon grass. Then he went up the street and turned into the Morton’s gate. “Henrietta home?” called Bill’s big voice cheerily, and Mrs. Morton greet ed him with motherly warmth and made him stay for supper. “These are for Henrietta,” he explained, with a little thrill at the thought. Old Mrs. Beazley nodded her head at her husband. “Captain Bill’s courtin’ Henrietta Morton,” she declared ex citedly. And although Bill Fair didn't realize it, Mrs. Beazley was right. Nowadays Henrietta makes the gar-. den every spring, and no one says a word, for she belongs to It. Various Kinds of Soul Hair seal Is the term applied to ani mals of the seadog family. It Is found In extra tropical portions 6f the sen, along temperate and colder portions of the globe. Osly the variety known ns Greenland seal Is of significance to the fur trade. The two-months-old cub of the Greenland seal has a skin used in the trade, and is known as white coni seal. According to age this animal passes Into grades known as small spot seal, meddling spot seal (two years old). Later It becomes spot seal, and, when finally full colored, harp seal. Old-Time Delicacy •The following is a recipe for old fashioned hominy, which was recently published In a farm paper: In three quarts of water dissolve one table spoonful of lye. Shell a quantity of g»«d corn, put It In the kettle of lye and boll until the hulls are removed. Pour off the lye, wash and rewash, and boil In clean water. Pour off the wa ter several times and supply fresh. This is much the same as the hulled corn of thte New England states, which is eaten with sweet milk, but which may be served stewed with gravy. Patriotic Organization Tlse Army and Navy Union of the United States was organized on March 31, 1888. Peter Laclier of Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 5,-1888, received tin response and co-operation of 80 men, through a notice in the press. On that date a temporary organization was formed and adjourned to meet later in the month, February 19, when a jeer manent organization was effected and ! -styled ns “The Regular Soldiers’ Union.” * Cure for Unrest By adding about a couple more hours of sleep each night, and about three hours more of work a day, we fancy about 90 per cent of the unrest In this country would be disposed of. —Houston Post Dispatch.
